Chapter 572: Merlin is tired
"Eh... Is this the end?"
After destroying "Tiamat", Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group were happy but soon fell into confusion.
First of all, this beast-level creature that is said to be able to destroy mankind is too easy to deal with. Secondly... the beast has been destroyed, so why hasn't the singularity recovered?
Kingu, who was pretending to be Enkidu, was also confused. The plan was successful, but why hasn't Tiamat woken up yet?
"Adam, I really deserve you!"
At this moment, a flower magician who did not want to reveal his name was running towards Uruk with his legs open, cursing.
Not to mention how dangerous it would be to face Tiamat again, he was an old man who lacked exercise and stayed at home and traveled a long distance from Avalon. He must be very tired!
"Oh~ Old man, the air is so fresh~"
Adam appeared beside Merlin with a smile:
"I see you have a youthful face and white hair, and you walk briskly, but you are still calm and composed. How many years have you been practicing?"
"I @% # % (ancient British swear words)!"
Merlin almost tripped over his left foot and fell out.
"Look at the road, don't look at me."
Adam stretched out his hand to straighten him up, and then patted his shoulder:
"Don't stop, you won't be able to catch up if you run slowly."
If Merlin's pace was slow, and he didn't catch up with the original fetal sea (crossed out) that turned the chaos tide from Tiamat into a sea of flowers, then Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group would be dead on the spot.
Merlin quickly got back on the road, and at the same time, his resentful eyes fell on the rumbling motorcycle under Adam.
[Night Wolf Death Nine: Golden Sprint], a treasure from the Knight-class Heroic Spirit Sakata Kintoki, has some of the concept of the God of Thunder because of Sakata Kintoki's identity as the son of the God of Thunder - in other words, this motorcycle is very fast.
"Oops, this motorcycle model is not the type that can carry multiple people, and you are not wearing a helmet. Even in the Age of Gods, you can't violate traffic regulations~"
Reaching out and knocking on the helmet mask, Adam turned the throttle, and the motorcycle, which maintained a speed similar to Merlin's foot speed, did not accelerate, but made a slapping noise.
Merlin: % @￥%\u0026% (ancient British swear words)!
Forcefully suppressing his inner irritability, Merlin took a few deep breaths to adjust his breathing, and then looked at Adam with his peripheral vision:
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be busy with your own business?"
"Tiamat is not a big problem, it won't take a few seconds to divert a little attention. I am a little interested in the concepts contained in the treasures of those goddesses, so I came to see you on the way to chat with you to relieve my boredom."
Merlin's eyes twitched, thinking that the last half of your sentence was incomplete, are you helping me to relieve my boredom or using me to relieve my boredom, you should be clear!
"Is it Ishtar and Ereshkigal?"
Merlin still maintained a calm mouth. Adam wanted the treasures of other heroes, and the projection that was now in Camelot could be summoned on the spot, so there was no need to let the projection here run again.
The only exceptions were probably Ishtar and Ereshkigal. Although these two were rivals, as gods in Mesopotamian mythology, their relationship with Gilgamesh and Enkidu was not good.
As far as he knows, neither Gilgamesh nor Enkidu has ever been unsummoned by the projection in Camelot.
Adam: Who can refuse a well-behaved and sensible Gilgamesh and a gentle and considerate Enkidu?
With good personalities and strength, Adam doesn't have to worry if the Heroic Spirit he summons doesn't have a good relationship with him. There are almost no Heroic Spirits that can cause trouble when the two of them join forces.
"Venus and the God of Harvest and Fertility, eventually went deep into the underworld for no reason and died at the hands of the God of Fear and the Underworld. From the perspective of mythology, there seems to be some kind of metaphor in this."
Once talking about serious matters, Adam will be more serious:
"Especially the spiritual bases of these two goddesses are one and the same. In some descriptions, there are even two goddesses from the same source, or they are formed by the same god split into two."
Different identities and personalities ultimately point to the same essence. This kind of thing is not uncommon in mythology.
For example, Morgan, the fairy who guards Avalon, the three-phase goddess in Greek mythology, and the Christian Trinity...
Merlin listened to Adam's words that treated the two living goddesses as cold carriers of some kind of mysticism, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
This is a bit too cold and ruthless.
But on second thought, it seems that Tiamat, who seems to be a beast, is just a carrier of the "anti-Genesis" and "atheism" material in Adam's eyes. It seems normal that Adam does not regard Ishtar and Ereshkigal as gods.
In terms of strength and status, Ishtar and Ereshkigal are far inferior to Tiamat. As for the identity of gods...
Adam is going to shape "atheism", so can he still care about this?
But from another perspective, Merlin doesn't care about this kind of thing~
So Merlin decisively stopped dwelling on this question and asked:
"How long will it take you? Don't wait until I catch up with Tiamat before she arrives at the battlefield."
"Don't worry, I won't delay your grand appearance at the critical moment..."
Adam lowered his head and conjured up a silver pocket watch, pretending to take a look:
"Three--"
"Three minutes left? That's still early, I can still take a break and catch my breath--"
"Two--"
"?! I% @￥%\u0026%--"
Merlin took the shortest straight line all the way, inevitably crossing mountains and ridges, but Adam didn't lag behind at all with his superb driving skills:
"Don't worry, it will take Tiamat a while to get to Uruk after she breaks free. She is still in the place where you put her to sleep."
Having said that, the impact of Tiamat's breaking free on the world has already begun. The originally clear sky is now covered by black and red clouds full of ominous atmosphere.
"What's wrong?"
Adam blinked:
"Maybe it's because I tied her too hard just now? Tiamat seems to be even angrier than before. Merlin, you have to run faster, otherwise you really can't catch up."
Merlin no longer has the extra time to swear at this moment. He is afraid that he will get out of breath if he opens his mouth.
"Oh no, it seems that I can't catch up."
Adam roughly calculated the distance between the two places and Merlin's current speed, and lifted Merlin's neck with one hand while twisting the accelerator:
"Forget it, I'll take the risk of getting a ticket and give you a ride~"
Lightning flashed suddenly in the wheels, and the figures of the two people and the motorcycle disappeared on the spot. Merlin's cough became barely detectable in the roaring thunder.
...
"Aaaaa——"
Accompanied by an incomprehensible roar, Tiamat, who returned to his dragon body, released the largest scale of chaos tide in the earthquake. Even the underworld, where life returns, can hardly resist the erosion of the power of the original mother of life.
Facing the chaos tide coming towards him, Fujimaru Ritsuka widened his eyes.
"Such a gorgeous flower should not wither before blooming."
