[Comprehensive] King's Best Friend

"Whoa!"

With the sound of overturning tables and chairs, the Xian Wang who was reviewing official documents suddenly stood up.

The clay tablet on the table fell all of a sudden and shattered into pieces on the ground, and the words on it could no longer be discerned.

"...King Gilgamesh?"

Siduri, who was standing by the side, looked up in confusion, but after seeing the king's expression clearly, she stopped talking.

It was a kind of extreme solemnity that she had never seen before - as if the mountain rain that was about to come had accumulated to the extreme, even the sky could not hold it, and it was about to pour down overwhelmingly and crush everything.

Anxiety gradually filled her heart, and Siduri anxiously cast her eyes on the direction the Xian King was looking at, and then found that the sky there had turned a muddy red, as if the entire sky was burning, beautiful and tragic .

"how……"

"Hey! Gold glitter!"

A sudden voice interrupted Siduri's words, but it was Ishtar.

This goddess is always "borrowed" by Master Enkidu to take the sky boat. Generally, as long as Ma'anna is not around, she will stay in the temple by herself as if she despises the dirt and dirt, and will stay in the temple until she retrieves Ma'anna again. , never go out a step.

But now, Ishtar seemed to have completely forgotten all these discomforts, and let his jade feet step on the ground, his brows were full of urgency: "Do you feel it...wake up, wake up!"

As if he was afraid of something, his words were broken, and his expression was flustered.At this moment, Ishtar is surprisingly fragile.

The Xian Wang, who was looking into the distance, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the shocks in his mind returned to his eyes, turning into a deep peace.

Afterwards, he looked sideways at the pale goddess, and mocked unceremoniously: "Why, the first reaction at this time is to seek the protection of this king. If your believers see this scene, they can look forward to it." A great show."

"It's going crazy, don't you have any sense of crisis, I'm super serious here!"

"The sense of crisis, that kind of thing—hasn't it existed since the moment this king asked Uruk to hold the weapon."

"You, you mean to say..."

It was rare for Ishtar to awaken his IQ. He balked at the other party's words and realized, "You knew that this day would come?"

Xian Wang glanced at her lightly, without saying a word, but clearly with the meaning of "obvious".

Ishtar didn't care about it unexpectedly, and only asked: "Then have you thought about a countermeasure? You should know that the enemy is..."

"It's the god Tiamat."

A familiar voice suddenly intervened, and at the same time, there was a wave of magic power in the empty royal hall, and a figure suddenly appeared.

"...Enkidu?! Didn't you go to the northern wall... Wait, the mother (God Tiamat) seems to be in the north, are you okay... Are you still alive?!"

Ishtar stared wide-eyed at the phantom that suddenly appeared beside him. It was Mayne, but it was not the person himself, and it was more like a phantom constructed by magic power.

"It's really strange that you are worried about me?"

The hazy virtual image said: "Don't worry, there is no problem for the time being."

Mayne is currently using his newly developed magic formula, inspired by the projection communication technology of Chaldea, and the video call of the world.

Well, thanks to the fact that this vest is Merlin, the crown qualified magician is not called for nothing.

Although the technique is still a bit unstable, fortunately, it can barely be used.

"Feel sorry."

Mayne's virtual image turned its head and looked at the wise king beside him: "Tiamat seems to have been sleeping somewhere in this world at first, if I found out earlier, I should be able to delay Tiamat's awakening through dreams. After."

Just as Gilgamesh arrogantly sealed his clairvoyance, Mayne rarely used it for some reason, and did not expect to miss such an important event.

"No, it's not your responsibility."

King Xian accepted it calmly: "This is inevitable, the last battle of the Age of Gods - this awareness, this king... No, Uruk already has it."

"..."

Mayne was silent for a moment, then chuckled lightly, his curved eyes shining brightly: "Well, he has become quite a great king, Jill."

"Isn't this kind of thing a matter of course?"

The virtuous king stuttered strangely, and raised his voice: "This king has worked hard so far, hard work and trials are no longer a problem. Hmph, there is absolutely no existence in this world that surpasses this king."

Mayne nodded without hesitation, and agreed: "Well, that's indeed the case."

The Xian King coughed lightly and did not speak, but the corners of his mouth were clearly raised, like a cat with its tail up and purring.

"Okay, you two!"

For some reason, Ishtar watched these two guys singing together, which made her feel seriously uncomfortable!

So, interrupting almost unceremoniously, Ishtar turned his head to stare at Mayne, and asked, "Now let's talk about the serious business. Since you are with mother, what exactly is the situation?"

There was an uneasy feeling in the goddess's eyes that she hadn't even noticed.

However, she can't be blamed for this, after all, the other party is Tiamat - the second beast, the god of origin.

In the legend, Tiamat is the mother sea, the soil that breeds life.

But after the earth stabilized, she was regarded as an unnecessary thing and exiled to the inner side of the world, an imaginary space without life.

It has a fate that is almost tragic, but at the same time, don't forget - Tiamat is a creation-level god.

It is precisely because of its existence that it is a catastrophe that the world cannot accommodate, so it is extremely rejected by human history.

Such an existence should never have appeared.However, here is the singularity——

Tiamat was probably used as a trump card burned by humanity, and was pulled here from the imaginary space.

I had been in a deep doze before, and then I woke up at this moment by a certain opportunity.

"At present, Tiamat seems to be in a state of self-seal."

Mayne's gaze moved to the north wall where he was. He stared at the huge still figure not far away, and slowly said: "That should be the last thing she holds as the mother goddess who gave birth to all things, and wants to protect it. human desire."

Ishtar looked happy: "Then..."

"Don't be too happy, it's the last. In fact, I can't confirm Tiamat's personality. The biggest possibility is that Tiamat will be completely dominated by instinct in the near future and take action. .”

Mayne said indifferently: "As for her instinct? Combining her experience and power, there is a 90.00% possibility that it is to eliminate human beings."

"...May I ask, soon, how long?"

Ishtar bit his lip, and said unsteadily, "How much time is left until mother takes action?"

Mayne tilted his head to perceive the magic power coming from the north, and then said: "If you attack immediately, you will probably act immediately. If you leave it alone, it can take longer—but it won't exceed tomorrow morning."

Ishtar: "So fast?!"

"if not."

Mayne looked at Ishtar who was already struggling to pull his hair, looked away in disgust, turned to look at the virtuous king who had been silent all this time, and said: "This is all the information I can provide at present, I will temporarily Stay here and continue to observe, correspondingly - Jill, you must act as soon as possible."

"Except for the interference other than Tiamat, the existence called the Alliance of the Three Goddesses, please."

The threat of the Alliance of the Three Goddesses is much smaller than the current Tiamat, but it should also be a part of the burning of humanity. In order to prevent more accidents, it cannot be delayed any longer.

The Xian Wang closed his eyes, nodded and said: "I see, Fujimaru Tatsuka will lend me some use, it's okay."

"Well, are you going to leave this matter to her... Speaking of it this way, it is true that there may be unexpected effects."

Mayne remembered certain "quality" of the girl, so he said: "If she agrees, I won't stop it, but please ensure her safety."

"Of course, this king is not going to let a little girl fight against the three goddesses single-handedly. If you help—"

The virtuous king squinted at Ishtar next to him, and motioned, "This stupid goddess can barely do it."

"What...! Jin Shining, how dare you call me an idiot! Also, whoever said I'm going to help you, I'm..."

"If you agree to help, I will return Maanna to you immediately."

Mayne pulled Tianzhou to his side, squinted his eyes: "Otherwise, throw it into the sea of ​​magic in Tiamat."

Ishtar: ...my Maana!

So, the final agreed result——

Mayne continued to stay on the north wall, keeping an eye on Tiamat's movements.The wise king is responsible for guarding Uruk and issuing orders to various places.

Ishtar took Fujimaru Tachika to solve the Three Goddess Alliance, and the wise king will support it according to the situation.

It was extremely urgent, and I felt that the situation suddenly became critical.

Mayne cut off the communication with the Wise King and Ishtar, and switched his thoughts back to the north wall where he was.

Not far away, the goddess named Tiamat stood still like a sculpture.

Huge curving horns, winding hair, majestic yet pitiful figure—under her silence, there is a breathless heaviness and despair.

Beneath Tiamat is pitch-black water...whether it is actually water is yet to be determined.

The dark liquid kept gathering around her, and it was impossible to determine whether it was drawn from other places or secreted by Tiamat himself.

An excessive amount of black liquid has almost formed a sea area.The surface of the sea was rippling, with a scarlet color in the circulation, like the blood of a mountain of corpses.

"It's really difficult..."

Mayne sighed slightly.

Afterwards, he let go of the staff in his arms. The staff did not fall, but quietly radiated light, floating in front of the heroic spirit, as if responding to the call.

However, Mayne only glanced at it, and said calmly: "Even if I use you to launch an attack, it won't change anything, after all, the enemy is Tiamat."

The staff's light dimmed, and it made a sound like a bell shaking.

It's not that there is any self-awareness, it's just that the treasures of heroic spirits always seem to have such a mysterious feeling.

Mayne didn't care about the staff's suspected protest. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then finally raised his head, and his eyes fell on the golden chain beside him.

Since Jin Gu met Tiamat, he has not spoken, as if he has fallen into his own world, struggling with something.

The sky lock, which was always shining, was covered with a dull color for the first time, and it was quietly attached to the ground, almost like the rotten things that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, no different.

Because Mayne needed to report to the Xian King in time, he hadn't paid attention to it just now, but now——

"stand up."

The silver-haired heroic spirit looked down at the chains on the ground condescendingly, and said in a cold tone, "Is this ugly posture the strongest weapon of the Age of Gods?"

"...Are you going to use me against mother?"

Jin Gu didn't seem to hear Mayne's words, so he only asked.

"I see. The mother you've been talking about refers to Tiamat."

Mayne said clearly: "So, Tiamat in the myths and legends seems to have indeed given birth to a god named Jin Gu."

"That's not me, make no mistake."

Jin Gu opened his mouth, his tone slightly aggravated: "The god Jin Gu in the myth is a loser, and there is no need to use it again. I am different from him."

"Oh? So, you mean—"

"You were created by Tiamat using Enkidu's body, no... It should be said that it is more accurate to say that it is a transformation. Moreover, the name 'Golden' that was given is not yours, but has been there since a long time ago. It exists there, is it borrowed?"

Mayne spoke suddenly, his originally indifferent expression suddenly sharpened for some reason.He forcefully ignored or even deliberately misinterpreted Jin Gu's meaning, and what he said was almost fatal.

but--

Unable to refute.

Even though every sentence is like a knife stabbing at the place that Jin Gu cares about most and least wants to face, but——

...cannot be refuted.

"..."

The golden chains lay on the ground without moving.

Mayne raised his eyebrows, and continued pressing step by step: "Then, now, answer me a question, Jin Gu—why do you think Tiamat is your mother, because she made you?"

A few seconds later, Jin Gu spoke slowly, with confusion that he hadn't noticed: "Isn't that enough? She gave me my body and my name..."

Speaking of the latter part, he seemed to suddenly remember that this shell belonged to Enkidu, and his name was the God of Gold in mythology, so... Then, after removing these, what is left of him, what is really his own?

"I probably figured it out."

Not caring about the other party's hesitation, Mayne raised his lips and said, "Since the mother you believe exists in this concept—"

"Then change it."

Jin Gu: "...?!!!"

Jin Gu: "What?"

"Huh? What's with that surprised expression?"

Mayne bent down to pick him up from the ground, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's very simple - I can do what Tiamat did."

The silver-haired heroic spirit raised the chain to his eyes, and his purple eyes were full of magnificent colors, like a blurred nebula universe, vast and boundless.

He slowly opened his lips, and said word by word: "Reborn in my hands, Jin Gu."

—Let me be here to give you rebirth.

The author has something to say: For the sake of the plot and the reduction of science popularization, some content in this chapter has been changed compared with the original setting, and the research party has withdrawn!

Jin Gu: Tiamat, my mother, I have to help her.But... Mei, May En, he... ah ah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Mayne: If there is anything to worry about, I will change your mother right away.

Jin Gu: ...? ? ?

Barbatos: Dad, have you forgotten me, Dad!

Probably high energy ahead.
