Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

Eridu.

The Lahms who automatically retreated from Uruk captured a lot of humans, and then gathered here without any prior arrangement. However, this behavior was not because they received any orders, but was a spontaneous action.

At this time, in the open space in front of the Temple of the Sun, two adult men were fighting each other. The Lahms on the side surrounded the two men, watching quietly, and occasionally making creepy and shrill laughter, as if they were enjoying a moving performance.

“Stop it, stop it—!”

"sorry Sorry……!"

"Bam! Boom! Bam!..."

At the end of the fight between the two men, one of the men finally killed the other with great effort, and then looked at the Lahms longingly.

But what greeted him were several Lahems who gradually approached him.

"Wait, lie, why-?!"

"Didn't you say that if you did this, you would let me live?!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Sensing the change in atmosphere, the man's expression changed from initial relief to astonishment, anger, and despair, and finally, under the tentacles raised by the Lahems, it turned into a horrible and shrill wail.

The other captured humans turned their heads away when they saw this scene, or clenched their fists in anger, but were powerless and looked despairing.

at this time--

Om-!

Several chains rose from the ground and easily pierced through the bodies of the Lahems that were torturing humans. They turned into black smoke and disappeared into thin air. Then, Jin Gu, with a gloomy face, fell from the sky and came to the center of the Lahem group.

After settling the Gorgon who was temporarily unable to move, he continued to act according to his original plan.

After Tiamat wakes up, she will create better new humans to replace the old humans, but to his surprise, he did not see many new humans along the way.

So he went south with doubts in his heart, and finally saw the scene before him.

"What are you doing?"

"—"

Jin Gu glanced at the Lahems in front of him with cold eyes and questioned them, but the only answer he got was silence.

"Answer me, are you still children of the god Tiamat?!"

"You can attack Uruk. You can kill the enemy. But why bring these non-threatening people? Why do such a meaningless thing?"

"New humans are not allowed to do meaningless things! Your actions are too stupid!!"

There was a hint of confusion in Jin Gu's angry tone.

In his imagination, the new humans should be better and more perfect than the old humans.

But the actions of these guys before us are worse than those of the old humans, no, even worse than the monsters created by the Gorgons!

At least, the monsters will not carry out any meaningless killings, nor will they take pleasure in torturing old humans.

...Are these guys really the new humans created by Mother?

"If the so-called new human beings born at this moment are completely contrary to your expectations, what would you think?"

At the same time, the words that Fujimaru Ritsuka had said before emerged in his mind. At this moment, he couldn't help but be a little shaken, and murmured in a low voice:

"Could it be... No, it must be that Mother made a mistake when she just woke up..."

"—"

The Lahems still didn't react, and Jin Gu, who was struggling with his thoughts, didn't notice that a Lahem quietly approached his back, and then -

puff!

"—!"

Accompanied by a sharp pain, Jin Gu lowered his head in confusion and saw a blood-stained tentacle piercing through his chest from his back.

what happened……?

I, was... ?

Before he could fully comprehend the current situation, a voice that sounded like both a child's and noise came from behind him.

"——You are very boring."

“Haha ...

All the Lahem present laughed at the same time, and Jingu finally understood the current situation. He stretched out his hand in disbelief and grabbed the tentacles on his chest with difficulty.

"...You can talk?...Why...We are all our mother's children...?"

"What on earth are you guys laughing at...?"

"——Because you look funny. Because, doing this makes me happy."

"Happy. Happy. Killing humans, happy. Very happy."

"You are very boring."

"So, no need."

“Haha ...

Lahem pulled out his tentacles and let the golden solid fall to the ground. Along with the tentacles, the Holy Grail buried inside the golden solid was also pulled out.

That is the Holy Grail that maintains the existence of this singularity, and it is also Kingo's heart.

Then, Lahem swallowed the Holy Grail into his body, and the next moment, under the amplification of the Holy Grail's power, his body began to swell, and the skin on his back bulged high and exploded, transforming into a pair of smooth flesh wings.

The opponent's power also reached the level of a god, possessing a power that is almost comparable to that of the Demon Pillar. This is the final form of Lahem, and its name is——

Baal Lachem.

"You outdated guy, just die here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Baal-Lahem announced Jingu's death. At this time, Jingu, who had lost the Holy Grail which was his heart and became extremely weak and his strength was greatly reduced, suddenly burst out with an inexplicable will to survive.

At least, I can't die here, I can't die at the hands of these guys...

……escape!

Jin Gu got up from the ground in a panic and ran away without caring about anything.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha——"

But Baal Lachem and the other Lachems just smiled happily, without any panic, and followed Jingu slowly and leisurely, like a cat teasing a mouse, enjoying this hunting game without any suspense.

"Ha ha!……"

"Here, over here!"

"He ran this way!"

Jingu fled with difficulty into the jungle around Eridu, but at the same time, his mind was completely confused.

Was he just a consumable from the beginning?

Could it be that, from the beginning to the end, his mother never loved him, and everything he did was just wishful thinking?

Betrayed by his compatriots, lost the Holy Grail, no longer needed by his mother, and lost the purpose he had since he was born...

If that's the case, then is there any need for him to escape now?

It's totally meaningless...

So, he gradually stopped, turned to face the group of Lahem that were gradually surrounding him, slowly closed his eyes, and prepared to face the end of his life.

however--

“Puff, puff, puff, puff…”

The sound of sharp weapons piercing through flesh came one after another, causing Jingu to slowly open his eyes in confusion. Looking at the scene in front of him, his expression was stunned for a moment——

The group of Lahem that originally surrounded him were all pierced by the chains that rose from the ground, and then turned into nothingness.

This is, his chain...?

"——How embarrassing."

A voice with a hint of sarcasm sounded in his ears. Hearing this voice that couldn't be more familiar, Jin Gu's eyes widened slightly, and he looked towards the source of the voice in disbelief.

In his sight, there was a figure who looked exactly like him!

“…Enkidu?!”

Come spicy!
