Inventory of Chaos: Iconic Scenes That Shattered Everyone Instantly Chapter 257: ICISEI Episode 243

Episode 243: The Final Spear of Humanity, Uruk is still strong right here!

『 At this very mont, Gorgon’s appearance made the situation even more unfathomable.

Her presence was like a ray of light in the darkness, though one couldn’t imdiately tell if it was hope or crisis.

Just as everyone thought they were falling into a desperate situation, Gorgon acted against the norm.

She didn’t attack the enemy in front of her imdiately but chose another, more unexpected direction. This sudden change made it impossible to fathom her true intentions.

Nine snake heads launched a fierce offensive against Tiamat in an instant.

Each head seed to have its own independent thoughts and purposes, but at this mont, their goal was exceptionally clear—defeat Tiamat and end this chaotic situation.

"You filthy thing!" As Gorgon’s angry roar rang out, the entire battlefield seed to be shaken by this intense negative emotion.

Lahmu surged like a tide, attempting to stop the powerful woman’s advance, but with a casual wave of her arm, delivering a fatal blow, the dense, black-cloud-like group of Lahmu vanished into ashes, leaving nothing behind.

Only the faint mist drifting in the air proved the existence of that bloody battle just a mont ago.

"Stop barking! You mud without a self!" Gorgon’s cold words pierced through hearts like the winter wind, making all onlookers feel a chill from the depths of their souls. 』

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "So strange, why did that person decide to attack?" ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "If they were still an enemy, they could have just watched from the side. Why clean up those things?" ]

[ Ruan i (Honkai: Star Rail): "Mud without self, huh." ]

[ Ruan i (Honkai: Star Rail): "A good nickna." ]

[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "....." ]

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "Wait, isn’t the point right now supposed to be focusing on..." ]

『 Watching this astonishing reversal happening before his eyes, Ritsuka Fujimaru felt quite shocked and confused.

His heart was filled with complex emotions—both a longing for victory and fear and anxiety about the future’s uncertainty.

"Why.... are you helping us?" Ritsuka Fujimaru asked after much hesitation, his words revealing a hint of doubt.

"Helping you?" Upon hearing this question, Gorgon repeated the word with a hint of sarcasm.

"Yeah!" Ritsuka Fujimaru then raised his voice and continued, "Trapping Tiamat here is the top priority—"

Before Ritsuka Fujimaru could finish, Gorgon interrupted him, saying with a look of disdain, "Actually..... having you here is a hindrance..."

This attitude clearly provoked dissatisfaction from those around her.

"A hindrance?" Mash’s face wore obvious confusion, but Ritsuka, standing beside her, seed to understand sothing.

"You can’t even hold up your shield." When Gorgon said this calmly, everyone’s eyes turned toward the equipnt on the slightly trembling Mash.

Only after hearing these words did Mash realize that the fingers holding her sword had started to tremble uncontrollably, and her body had beco increasingly weak.

"As for that.... Master, look at his fingertips; they have already turned pale and are almost necrotic due to the lack of magical energy."

Gorgon coldly pointed out a fact—the physical strength of the Chaldea group and the Uruk allies had already reached its limit; they were rely supporting themselves through sheer willpower.

Ritsuka, his hair already ssy from the gale, subconsciously gripped his wrist, as if this could slightly alleviate the fatigue coming from his body.

Indeed, everyone on the team, himself included, was already exhausted; being able to hold on until now was already comndable.

However, with the accumulation of one battle after another, even the bravest hearts began to slowly lose their vitality.

Under the current circumstances, even if they were unwilling, hearing such frank and rciless truths, they couldn’t find any reason to refute the predicant they were in.

"Tiamat’s wings must be destroyed by personally, forcing her to abandon her dream of soaring in the sky and forcing her to return to the ground."

"Ha..." Gorgon’s sudden kindness left the two protagonists, who were already in a state of extre exhaustion, completely at a loss for how to react.

But soon, Ritsuka understood.

The woman before him seed to have sothing very important that she needed to do.

"Understood! I’ll leave this to you." He nodded solemnly, his voice filled with firmness and trust.

Gorgon turned to look at Ritsuka one last ti; her gaze revealed a complex expression, as if holding countless reluctance and attachnt.

Then, she gently turned her head away.

"There is nothing for to entrust." Her words were calm and resolute, and every word seed to be telling Ritsuka not to worry about her.

"Go quickly." She urged softly, her tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable power.

"Um... thank you...." Ritsuka’s voice was a bit choked; he knew this parting might be a forever farewell.

"Farewell..." A flash of imperceptible tenderness passed through Gorgon’s eyes, as if she had already accepted this ending in her heart.

Ritsuka dared not linger any longer, imdiately mounting the winged bird and flying quickly into the distance.

As the flight speed increased, the scene behind them gradually beca blurred until it completely disappeared from his sight.

After confirming that Ritsuka and Mash had left safely, Gorgon’s expression suddenly changed.

She tightly closed her eyes, revealing a happy and relieved smile—it was a kind of ease she had never felt before.

"Senpai!" As the distance grew, Mash finally recovered from her previous state and shouted in a hurry, her eyes full of worry and unease.

"Wait a mont! Senpai!" She shouted, hoping to call Ritsuka back, but it all seed so powerless and helpless.

"That Gorgon... is An—" Mash wanted to continue explaining sothing, but before she could finish, Ritsuka interrupted her, which was rare.

At this mont, he was sitting on the head of the winged bird, his face full of deep sorrow.

"Mash!" His voice trembled, yet it was exceptionally firm.

After a long silence.

"I know..." Ritsuka spoke slowly, his tone revealing an unconcealable bitterness and sadness.

Mash stopped asking, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She understood that she and Ritsuka couldn’t change anything right now; they were practically just a burden to the other.

Ana’s pair of huge wings suddenly unfolded behind her. She faced Tiamat directly, without a trace of retreat in her eyes.

"Although I couldn’t say the true words of farewell, this is enough for ."

"I’m sorry.." She muttered to herself, her heart full of guilt toward them.

"I just.. didn’t want you to see looking so wretched right now." She said it very seriously, every word expressing her true feelings.

"Because... doing so would surely bring you more pain." Ana’s eyes were incomparably firm, every word declaring her determination to Tiamat.

Just then, Ana slowly opened her closed eyes, facing the impending huge challenge.

"However... Goddess Tiamat!"

"I! Will bring you a real wound!" This sentence resounded through the sky like thunder, demonstrating her unparalleled determination and courage.

At this mont, Ana’s purple pupils suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The light grew stronger and stronger, finally forming a mysterious magic circle pattern in front of her.

The strong wind from the side made her hair flutter. She closed her eyes tightly again, as if gathering all her strength and willpower, preparing to et the impending duel.

"I WILL BE THE GREAT SNAKE AND BRING THE EARTH DRAGON DOWN!!"

Ana clutched her chest tightly, her wings slowly closing, her body trembling slightly from tension.

"LT EVERYTHING!!"

At this mont, she opened her eyes abruptly, a firm and resolute light flashing in her pupils, while moving her hands away from her chest, as if unburdening the heavy load in her heart.

"PANDEMONIUM CETUS—!"

⦍Forced Seal - Pandemonic Temple⦎

The huge crimson shockwave swept in like flas, turning all incoming Lahmu into ashes instantly.

The unadorned energy, like a scorching line of fire, shot directly into Tiamat’s massive body.

This extraordinarily high temperature not only distorted the air but instantly lted Tiamat’s already cracked horns, causing them to flow into a puddle of liquid.

At this mont, the battlefield was completely obscured by rising smoke and dust; only chaos and confusion remained between heaven and earth.

As the thick smoke and dust gradually dispersed, Ana had already exhausted the last bit of magical energy in her body. Her aura was extrely weak, as if she could disappear into nothingness at any mont.

"Thank you very much for the flowers."

After saying this, she looked down powerlessly at her gradually transparent body, her tone becoming exceptionally weary.

"In the end, I could only do this much."

The tears in her eyes flashed and vanished, her voice full of reluctance and helplessness.

"Thank you very.... much.... Ritsuka Fujimaru...."

As soon as the words fell, countless tiny and dazzling light particles erged from around her, surrounding her. In a place where no one could witness, she finally disappeared slowly... 』

〜Attack on Titan World〜

Survey Corps—

"That was truly a very heroic battle."

At this mont, Eren watched the battle before him, inexplicably feeling resonance.

Perhaps, in his world, those guys called the Survey Corps were always sacrificing their lives to exchange for a little bit of intelligence.

Sotis, they couldn’t even exchange for a piece of useful intelligence, yet they would still sacrifice their lives aninglessly.

But...

Was all of this aningless?

After sacrificing so many humans, even if the ending was unsatisfactory, was it aningless?

Obviously not...

Along this journey, no matter how difficult, they still walked through it.

Therefore, he could empathize.

—

『 Ritsuka Fujimaru watched all of this happen, yet was powerless to do anything.

He could only helplessly witness all of this, his heart broken, yet unable to change anything.

After the dust settled, Tiamat was still standing there, with a broken horn.

No matter how powerful the attack was, it seed to have caused her just a little harm, as if she were an indestructible existence.

The only good news was that she couldn’t move forward for the ti being.

At least for now, they could buy so precious ti, but this didn’t an the problem was solved.

"No! Although her flight is sealed, as long as she continues to produce black mud, we cannot stop the battle for Uruk." Dr. Romani imdiately analyzed the battlefield calmly. He knew that every second now was so precious and important; he absolutely couldn’t let the situation get worse.

Outside the tower, Gilgash stood alone, looking into the distance, revealing a rare smile.

In this tragic battle, such an expression was rare and seed sowhat incredible.

"Those two goddesses achieved the greatest results imaginable. As expected, there are still so useful ones among the goddesses."

Gilgash whispered to himself. Although he usually scoffed at the goddesses, he had to admit that at critical monts, there were still so characters who could be of use.

Soon, he sensed sothing coming. It was indeed Mash and Ritsuka Fujimaru returning to Uruk on the winged bird.

Their dusty appearance showed how many dangers and difficulties they had experienced during this ti.

This was the last line of defense; they had to delay until the transfer to the Underworld was completed.

Everyone was doing their best to ensure this goal could be achieved, sparing no effort regardless of the cost.

"King Gilgash!" Ritsuka Fujimaru’s urgent voice rang out, wanting to confirm if this king was still safe.

"Are you alright!" Mash followed closely with the question, her voice full of concern, equally worried about the safety of their king.

"You’ve returned." Gilgash turned his head slowly, looking gently at these two figures who were striving to protect humanity.

For a mont, a flash of respect even crossed his eyes.

But soon, he turned his head back at a speed they didn’t notice, returning to the high-and-mighty posture he usually had.

Perhaps, at this mont, he had already decided how to act next.

At this mont, the pitch-black mud had already crashed into the walls of Uruk, and an atmosphere of despair filled the air.

Facing such a scene, even soone as strong as Gilgash couldn’t help but reveal a solemn expression.

The entire city was about to face a catastrophic test.

"Look... look at the entirety of Uruk!" With Gilgash’s low voice falling, the eyes of the two naturally cast toward the distance.

At this mont, everyone’s heart felt a faint pain.

Within the reach of their eyes, only a sea of fire completely soaked in black mud remained. The once prosperous and bustling Uruk had now beco exceptionally desolate and silent; the once glorious city had long since turned into ruins.

The sight before them made them feel unprecedentedly heavy and powerless.

Corpses covered almost every part of Uruk; this darkness covered this land like a curtain, making it impossible to see any light or hope.

The hearts of the two teenagers also sank deeply into sorrow.

"How could this be.." Ritsuka Fujimaru could barely say a complete sentence, only squeezing these few words from his throat, expressing the shock and grief in his heart.

"This is... the end of a world that was just one step away from disappearing from the surface." Gilgash’s tone revealed a bit of helplessness and unwillingness, yet also revealed his extrely clear understanding of reality.

Gilgash stood with his arms crossed, watching the scene before him very calmly.

This world that was gradually perishing, this era that was gradually disappearing, made Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash from Chaldea feel very lost for a mont.

Although they had tried their best, even sacrificing the lives of two goddesses, they still couldn’t stop Tiamat’s advance.

Such an enemy made them feel unprecedented despair.

They had once thought that with their firm will and brave hearts, they could protect everything beautiful. However, facing Tiamat, all efforts seed so insignificant. 』

〜Oregairu World〜

Service Club—

Everyone was watching silently.

This doomsday-like mont on the screen.

"Could it be... is this the outco for humanity? Is this the fate of us humans? Is human history really going to be destroyed? This... is too tragic..."

Yuigahama’s voice broke the silence, but one could still hear the sorrow in her voice.
