The azure tide of life descended from the sky like an inverted Milky Way. Gilgash looked up at the unreasonable second tsunami surging toward him from high above.
With his mana nearly exhausted, he could only watch helplessly as the all-consuming wave approached, threatening to engulf both Vimana and himself…
But in this critical mont…
Behind the Hero King, in the darkness shrouded by the night, a sharp golden light suddenly shone.
Whoosh!
The next instant, accompanied by the sharp sound of chains clashing, golden chains suddenly flew out from the distant void!
—Chain of Heaven!
After witnessing the fierce clash between the Hero King and Tiamat, this divine weapon who had been hiding in the shadows could no longer hold back and decided to act.
However, those chains were not ant for Tiamat.
The golden chains wrapped around Gilgash's waist with snake-like precision in an instant, forcibly dragging him out of the danger zone just before the tsunami could swallow him.
Gilgash imdiately felt the tug at his waist. He suddenly turned his head toward the direction the chains extended, his crimson eyes filled with humiliation and rage as he roared.
"Enkidu! This is a battle with Mother—release !"
"Gil, stop talking nonsense!" Enkidu's voice ca from afar. It was unusually strict yet incredibly calm. "The Holy Grail War hasn't even officially begun yet. Are you planning to exhaust all your mana and drop out on the eve of the war?!"
The mont he finished speaking, the green-haired beauty in the distance raised his hand and ruthlessly pulled him with full force.
BOOM!
The golden chains suddenly tightened, and the ancient king—together with the heavenly ark Vimana—was violently hurled out of the tsunami's attack range.
Before the tide of life could cross the defensive line in pursuit, Enkidu had already walked barefoot from the far edge of the desert, stepping onto the warm yellow sand.
"Mother."
The night wind blew, fluttering his long, vibrant green hair that was as rich and glossy as nature itself.
Dressed in a loose white robe, Enkidu stopped about 100 ters from Tiamat. With maximum respect, he lightly bowed his head and perford a perfect ancient greeting.
"Tonight's sparring with Gil has already exhausted my stamina."
He raised his face, directing his clear eyes toward the blue-haired goddess before him, and added quietly, "If you still feel it's not enough… this clay body of mine may be able to take Gil's place and continue this unfinished entertainnt for you."
The mont he finished his last words, dozens of golden spatial ripples quietly appeared in the void behind him.
On the surface, Enkidu appeared calm and composed, yet beneath his loose white robe, his god-crafted perfect body was quietly tensed to its limit.
The Chain of Heaven.
It was the absolute divine weapon said to be capable of firmly restraining even the gods—the stronger the target's divinity, the more terrifying its binding power.
But… what if the opponent was Tiamat?
Even Enkidu could not guarantee that the Chain of Heaven could truly bind the Goddess of Creation who symbolized the origin of life.
However, to protect his best friend and temporarily end this completely uncontrollable battle… he had to stand up at this very mont and confront this terrifying suppression emanating from the end of mythology.
Enkidu took a deep breath.
But within this deathly tense silence, a gentle human young man's voice suddenly rang out across the desert.
"That's enough, Tiamat."
A hand gently and naturally rested on Tiamat's shoulder.
Extrely unusually, the mont the young man's voice stopped, Tiamat unconsciously turned her face and glanced at the black-haired young man beside her. Her ruby-like star eyes blinked gently, revealing natural innocence.
"Aaaaaah~"
The life-destroying tsunami behind her collapsed quietly in the night sky with a soft, obedient whimper, transforming into countless gentle blue ethereal points before slowly fading away.
The sight left even the ever-prepared Enkidu montarily stunned.
Looking at the black-haired young man who showed no trace of magical energy, he showed a brief expression of surprise and asked quietly, "You are… Mother's Master?"
eting the gaze of the god-crafted weapon, Matou Yuu quietly raised his face, looked at the green-haired beauty before him, smiled, and nodded. "Nice to et you, Enkidu."
"I'm Matou Yuu… it is my honor to serve as Tiamat's Master this ti."
He paused, then said, "Tiamat and I originally ca here only as enthusiastic spectators to witness this grand battle. We had no intention whatsoever of engaging in a deadly fight with you on the eve of the war."
"So if you want to leave with your best friend, you may do so right now. I won't stop you."
Hearing this, Enkidu unconsciously glanced at Tiamat, who stood quietly beside the young man.
This Mother who made even the gods tremble showed absolute trust and obedience toward the Master who had summoned her. She faithfully remained in place, showing no further intent to attack.
The green-haired beauty's nerves, which had been stretched to their limit, finally relaxed slightly without him realizing it.
To be honest… even he himself had not wanted to confront this Mother whose common sense could not asure her before the Holy Grail War truly began.
He stared intently at the black-haired young man.
"Matou Yuu…? I'll rember that na."
Even so, he bowed his head once more to Tiamat in respect.
Then, with a gust of wind that whipped up yellow sand, Enkidu's figure vanished into the air like a ghost, heading toward Gilgash.
The desert fell silent once more.
Almost the instant Enkidu's aura completely disappeared, a special system panel emitting a faint blue light quietly appeared before Matou Yuu's eyes.
