With her colossal dragon-body Spirit Origin, she unleashed magical energy to crush the enemy's physical attacks.
This was the only offensive Noble Phantasm that the goddess Tiamat herself permitted after manifesting as a Servant.
She finished charging before ORT did, and fired first.
Yet just as it was about to hit ORT, it stopped.
ORT had completed its own shot as well.
It did not seem to be attacking at full power, but even so, it managed to block the strike effectively.
What followed was a contest of endurance.
Whichever side ran out of magical energy first and got pushed back would lose.
"ORT, are you really going to forget all about us? That's a little lacking in charm, don't you think?"
Gilgash looked down at ORT coldly.
Enkidu's expression had turned razor-sharp as well.
The last ti he had looked like that was when he hunted the Bull of Heaven released by Ishtar.
ORT could not be judged as if it were just another life-form from Earth.
Its attention was indeed focused on Tiamat, but only because she was the target it had decided had to be dealt with first.
That did not an it was ignoring everything else.
Whether it was Taigong Wang preparing his next attack, or the Magi of Flowers maintaining their Noble Phantasms to suppress the effects of the cosmic storm, ORT was keeping track of all of them.
The sa went for targets like Gilgash and Enkidu, whom it still had not managed to eliminate.
More tentacles stretched out from the sides of the disc and lunged at Gilgash and Enkidu, only to be blasted back by the rain of Noble Phantasms pouring down from [Gate of Babylon] and [Age of Babylon].
But that created a problem.
Gilgash and Enkidu could each only release one Noble Phantasm at a ti.
To ORT, [Treasury of the King] and [Wisdom of the People] were little more than a scratch. They could not break the balance between ORT and Tiamat.
That left only one answer.
They would have to stop resisting ORT's pursuit and place a decisive weight on the scales for what ca next.
"[Enuma Elish]!"
"[Enuma Elish - O' Humans, Let Us Restrain the Gods]!"
Heaven and earth changed color. Wind, clouds, and thunder roared.
Even here in this underground world, a scene from the beginning of creation was unfolding.
And yet, sothing existed within it that even this hell could endure.
"As expected of ORT. It's still nowhere near its limit. But King of Heroes and Enkidu-dono likely can't keep this up much longer."
Taigong Wang leaped down from Sibuxiang's back and slowly drifted toward ORT.
"Kunlun Mountain serves Yuanshi Tianzun. Fish-tail golden crown, crane-feathered robe, twin silk cords binding heaven and earth. Immortal grace and Daoist bearing, pure and clear in spirit. A blissful immortal enters the battlefield. Male and female swords in hand, Eight Trigrams immortal robe upon my body, containing all geography and astronomy. I stand here as an immortal upon the field of battle!"
He chanted the profound incantation in a stern voice, and a crimson immortal formation slowly erged.
"I am the embodint of Yuxu upon the earth. I am the executor of the Fengshen upon the earth. At this mont, beneath the decree of heaven, I break gods and guide the holy dynasty. Invader from beyond the heavens, Type:ORT. In the na of the Three Sovereigns, the Queen Mother, and Lady Nüwa, I sever thy fate here. [Great Demon Sublimation – Investiture of the Gods]!"
ORT, already caught within the effects of Gilgash and Enkidu's Noble Phantasms, was now further suppressed by Taigong Wang's Noble Phantasm, and its output weakened even more.
"Ha..." Taigong Wang could not help but laugh. "So even going all out only amounts to this much. I adjusted it specifically to deal with ORT too, but in the end, it still isn't enough... Now! Morgan-dono!!"
After one attack after another, each launched at the cost of risking the destruction of their Spirit Origins, the Unity God seized the opening and unleashed its strongest strike.
"[Chaotic Will]"
Shiomi and Morgan tried to shatter ORT together with the very phenonon surrounding it.
But the collapse of that phenonon was far slower than expected.
More than that, the amount of ti the goddess Tiamat could remain in her dragon-body Spirit Origin was limited, and the deadlock between the two sides was gradually beginning to reverse.
ORT's output was starting to push back against Tiamat's Noble Phantasm.
"It's about ti..." Shiomi said quietly.
Morgan echoed him.
They had unleashed enormous attacks in rapid succession, never allowing ORT a mont to breathe, destroying the function that generated the cosmic storm, all so they could prepare for this next blow.
The Storm Border, which had been watching the battlefield from two kiloters behind the whole ti, finally turned and lined up with ORT's position once ORT's advance slowed.
"Open the magical energy circulation to full. Stack the spectra over the blade at the bow. Maximum engine output!"
Romani stared at the screen.
According to the plan they had drawn up earlier, the mont [Chaotic Will] began interfering with and breaking down the phenonon surrounding ORT, suppressing the cosmic storm to its limit, would be the mont for the Holy Sword armant they had prepared for so long to finally be used.
[Hu-Barrel Rayproof].
The ultimate Noble Phantasm against threats to humanity, built upon the Holy Sword of Artoria Pendragon.
The magical energy gathered at the bow transford into golden light.
The Holy Sword of the Planet had originally been forged to deal with the threat known as the White Titan.
But ORT was even more dangerous than those vanguards. The only thing that might compare to it was the predator of the White Titan itself.
"Fire!"
At Olga Marie's command, the light of the Holy Sword burst forth and in an instant closed in on ORT's true body.
"...It warped?"
That strike, carrying all their hopes, twisted just before impact.
Like a beam of light unable to escape a black hole, it bent away, unable to reach ORT's true body. The magical energy weakened within the distorted field, scattered, and could no longer lock onto ORT itself.
"It increased its own mass, created a new organ, and generated imnse gravity!"
rlin cried out.
His Clairvoyance let him instantly see exactly what had happened.
"It can still be maintained. Prepare the next shot!" Morgan imdiately called back to the Storm Border.
"No good! Even if we risk the engines exploding, the fastest we can fire again is two minutes from now! You won't last that long!" Romani clenched his fists.
This was the first ti since becoming an ordinary human that he had wanted to reclaim his forr power and fight beside them.
If only he still had the power of the King of Magi...
"Prepare to support the doctor! Hold the line for the two minutes until the second shot fires!"
Olga Marie raised a hand, about to issue the order.
The people on deck were already preparing to carry out another summoning ritual, planning to hold the line through sheer numbers.
But at that mont, Olga Marie suddenly felt ti slow down.
Only her ti had slowed, until it nearly stopped.
"Huh?"
"That's my supre Authority. It isn't ti stop. I accelerated your ti instead," U said from behind her.
"You..." Olga Marie turned around.
"Two minutes is too long. While enduring a pincer attack, ORT forcibly generated a gravitational field to avoid your attack..." U calmly analyzed the situation. "If you can't fire imdiately, then even if you still have strength left, all you'll do is repeat the sa situation."
"What should I do? If it will help everyone defeat ORT, I'm willing to give up everything."
Olga Marie answered without the slightest hesitation.
"As the original, you really are that foolish. It's embarrassing even for a fake like ." U frowned. "You don't need to sacrifice anything. I'll tell you what to do."
As she said that, she took Olga Marie's hand.
