Chapter 563 42: The End

"Everyone, quickly fly up into the sky, escape to Uruk! The Beast is about to explode!""Confirmed Spirit Base collapse, even all eleven Magic Furnace Cores have been confirmed to reach critical points! Their bodies are going to explode too!"

From Chaldea's side, Dr. Roman's urgent voice came through the communication line, urging repeatedly, wishing he could drag Fujimaru Ritsuka and others to run. Because over in the control room, many instruments in front of several control panels all lit up red, emitting short and nerve-wracking alarms.

In such an incredibly tense atmosphere, the group narrowly escaped the underground Netherworld void 2000 meters down, bursting forth to the surface.

This long night was still not over, as the divine age's planet and the bright full moon illuminated the earth.

Then—

Rumble!!

The ground trembled, dragons and serpents rose, the previously flat plains suddenly heaved high like massive wave peaks on the sea, evidently an unimaginably large force exploded underground, and the unparalleled power impacted the ground.

From behind the group, out of the giant void leading straight to the Netherworld, a massive pillar of light soared to the sky, illuminating the surroundings in the night sky!

The pillar of light seemed ready to split the entire sky in two, piercing through the thick dark clouds gathered by the surging magic power in the night, ascending into the sky against the vast silver moonlight, reaching tens of thousands of meters high!

At the same time, the terrifying magic power stirred up huge airflows, causing shock waves to roll and spread rapidly in all directions, becoming fierce localized storms.

"Ugh—!!"

Even though they escaped a considerable distance in time, Fujimaru Ritsuka still felt the shock waves catching up from behind, slinging themselves and others hard into the air, with the sound of wind howling in their ears.

Despite replenishing ample magic power not long ago, it was now already somewhat overused.

The girl's mind spun in dizziness, and her vision seemed to blur...

In this haze, she didn't know how much time had passed, but she suddenly jolted awake, finding herself resting on Mash's lap, with the Milky Way shining brilliantly in the night sky, and the nighttime breeze carrying a refreshing coolness gently caressing her face, stirring her hair.

The girl opened her mouth, but Mash noticed her awakening first, and spoke with delight: "Senpai, you're awake..."

"Mm, where is this? I... wait, what time is it now?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded unconsciously, speaking somewhat cluelessly, then suddenly jolted, immediately recalling the situation before she lost consciousness. She sat up abruptly, looking around tensely, scanning her surroundings.

Then, she noticed the familiar scenery of Uruk city.

The streets, houses, the distant divine tower, and the palace... seemed like she was at the magical beast warline's bulwark?

"We've returned to Uruk, Senpai..." Mash spoke, "It's fortunate that we were fighting in the Netherworld, just escaping to the surface allowed us to avoid the final explosion."

"Yes, you've both really worked hard, it's been completely confirmed that Beast's Spirit Base has collapsed, you can relax..." Dr. Roman's exhausted yet relieved voice came through the communication, seemingly having been monitoring the situation here all along, and noticing as soon as Fujimaru Ritsuka woke up.

Indeed...

It's over...

Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a long sigh of relief, even though she remembered this part, in the end, by relying on Jin Gu's Celestial Lock restraint and Gorgon's brute force suppression, their side finally seized the opportunity and, with the utmost power, swept away all the Rahmu, defeating Tiamat God's Spirit Base.

But— it was really not easy.

That Mother of Creation was definitely the most formidable foe encountered so far, placing unprecedented psychological pressure on the girl.

Even having done so much preparation, successfully weakening significantly, and even though this Mother of Creation practically didn't retaliate directly...

This battle was still exceedingly difficult, and even now, recalling it felt all too lucky, carrying quite an unreal feeling, naturally worrying that perhaps everything was messed up, and the final scene in her memory was just an unwilling dream.

"With Tiamat God's obliteration, the cause of this singularity has also disappeared." The doctor continued in the communication, "Next, history will slowly restore to its original state as usual, restoring the original Mesopotamia."

The girl mindlessly nodded, stood up, gazed into the distant dark, and glanced at the defense line not far away, seeing Miss Akai Hinako talking to Ishtar Goddess, while King Gilgamesh stood further away with his arms crossed, but... seemingly in a Spirit Body state?

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt somewhat startled, also realizing that other Servants seemed to have vanished, no longer visible.

Whether it was the team that headed to the Persian Gulf for the Netherworld assault, or those supposed to stay in the fortress city...

"Since the singularity has started to mend, Servants naturally departed; just now, if you hadn't woken up, we'd also be forced to retreat soon. As for Miss Ishtar, she said she wasn't a Divinity summoned by the Holy Grail, but originally existed in this era, so she could stay..."

Mash, understanding what she was thinking, started explaining.

"I see..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka lightly nodded, feeling a bit out of sorts inside, though every singularity before had been like this, this time she didn't even have the chance to say goodbye, those briefly known friends had already left, leaving her with a certain indescribable melancholy.

"Did Senior Gu Mo and Miss Kikyo leave too?" She swept a glance at the scene, indeed finding few familiar faces remaining.

"It should be like this, even though he didn't come back with us..." Mash nodded earnestly, "But according to Miss Ishtar, they also left this era in the end, by the way— look, Senpai, the Holy Grail has been successfully retrieved!"

She took out a glittering gold cup from the shield and showed it to the young girl.

"Brought back by Ishtar Goddess, said that when Tiamat God was annihilated, the Holy Grail fell out and was taken by Senior Gu Mo, who asked Lady Goddess to return it to us."

......

...

Time goes back to shortly after the annihilation of Tiamat God.

Two thousand meters underground in the space of death, the void expanded by the Netherworld was in complete disarray, with remnants of strong magic power lingering. After finally breaking down Tiamat God's spirit base, the terrifying spirit base was on the verge of collapse. At the same time, the magic furnace core that created the fallen Eleven Demon Beasts also rapidly reached a critical point…

And then came a massive explosion.

However, fortunately, this was not a mutually destructive method initiated by the wrath of the Mother of Origin, but merely a natural reaction of the spirit base collapsing. The gathered magic power dispersed in an instant, only it was her immense size that created such a terrifying effect.

Therefore, it was not entirely impossible to withstand…

Moreover, Hiri was ready to immediately open the teleportation gate to lead everyone out of the current world.

Layer upon layer of barriers was blown away, the vast silver moon was torn apart into scattered moonlight, manipulating the ambient magic power also fell into a difficult stalemate, and the powerful defense of the Sheath of the Demon Sword served as the last measure in front of the teleportation gate... no matter what, the violent magic storm was ultimately withstood.

And when everything fell into silence, the entire Netherworld returned to dead silence.

"..."

"..."

It wasn't long before footsteps were finally heard.

The youth in a cyan Daoist robe slowly walked to the last position of the Demon Dragon, where only a massive crater remained, several kilometers deep, with a diameter of about ten kilometers, in this underground void with an average depth of just two thousand meters, it was like an abyss within an abyss.

He looked at the big crater with a somewhat complicated expression, his mind still lingering on the last moment, the spiritual qi he felt.

......

It was a pure white world.

An empty world, with nothing else but an extremely beautiful and extremely sorrowful woman standing quietly in the pure white, adorned with horns symbolizing the earth and eyes reflecting the Inner Sea of Stars.

She seemed very dejected, lowering her head silently, shedding tears.

It was as if she cried out in sorrow, her cries echoing in this mournful, pure white, ancient world.

"Don't leave..."

"Don't abandon me..."

"And don't love me anymore..."

......

"If this world is to be saved, then she must be exiled..."

An ethereal voice sounded, the witch behind softly sighed, a rare trace of melancholy flashing in her autumn water eyes: "I can feel her pain, but… perhaps this is the result she truly wanted to see, she should also hope for us to stop her."

Her spiritual sense was always strong, and naturally, she sharply sensed the moment when Tiamat God's spirit base collapsed, the spiritual qi that dispersed.

Sorrow, resentment...

But ultimately unable to cover the essence within the deeper consciousness.

"I know, but I just… feel quite uneasy in my heart." Gu Mo sighed deeply, suddenly feeling a more profound fatigue, not physically but mentally, as if a sense of disinterest, although all this was the conspiracy of Demon God King Gai Tia, it was indeed an irreconcilable conflict.

According to Ishtar, the records in mythology aren't like that, Tiamat God was the maternal womb abandoned post-creation, used as the soil nurturing life, and once the planetary environment stabilized and the ecosystem established, she became an obsolete entity and was exiled to the Imaginary Space's "Sea of Mother."

——For the current established ecosystem, she, who designed and created life randomly, had become an obstacle.

——And for her, who only regarded nurturing life and giving love to the children as the meaning of existence, being denied led to lamentation and madness.

Perhaps all this was inevitable, just as Gilgamesh said, no matter the depth of the children's feelings, they are bound to leave the mother sooner or later, but…

The cries heard in that pure white spiritual world resonated in his mind, and Gu Mo felt a bit unsettled. He lightly frowned, silently sheathing the reluctant Demon Sword, then turned his gaze into the crater.

The golden glow of the Holy Grail faintly shimmered at the bottom of the crater...

At the center, level with the crater surface, was a solitary glimmer...
