Siduri was in a daze, her mental state a little unstable.

A little one who looked to be about a year old had displayed her divine might. With a raise of her hand, masts and oars were turned to ash. She had instantly eliminated all the Lahmu in the city of Uruk and had even healed all the injured.

The thought that she was much more reliable than the Goddess of Venus, Ishtar, appeared in the high priestess's mind. Perhaps... we should switch the goddess we worship to this little one?

Kenji: You have good taste. Little Qin Ya is the God of Earth.

Because of little Qin Ya, Siduri had been spared from her fate; she had not followed her original destiny.

"Little Qin Ya, you're so amazing!"

Siduri hugged little Qin Ya. The Cocoon of Finality's control had been lifted, and she had returned to being that innocent and cute little one.

"Hehe..." Little Qin Ya's eyes curved into crescents as she let out a crisp, pleasant laugh. She didn't know what had just happened. Although she had the memory, she didn't quite understand this power yet.

The Lion King, holding little Qin Shi, watched his older sister display her divine might and pouted. His own seal had not yet been undone. He could also summon meteors to bring down justice. From the moment I was born, I have been treading on thin ice. When will I be able to reach the other shore?

"Heh. Little one, this is an adult's business. You should just be good."

How could the Lion King not see through little Qin Shi's little thoughts? She couldn't help but say, amused. So clever. So young, yet so smart.

Through her Clairvoyance, she could see the two "dopeys" slashing away. If she weren't babysitting, she would have gone to fire off a few shots herself.

"Pretty capable, aren't you ♪"

A smile lifted the corner of Elysia's lips. She was, of course, paying close attention to her own cubs at all times. The Cocoon of Finality really did care about Qin Ya, to directly log on and fight for her.

"Hah—"

With a long exhale, the "Ego-Form: Unflawed Return" in Elysia's hand vanished and was replaced by another bow.

Noble Phantasm: "Pincer Attack Formation."

This was a toy Kenji had left for her. She had just loaded it with a large number of Lahmu.

To return a deed with the same method. A certain old man had once said, You must use Lahmu to deal with Lahmu. Everyone present was ammunition. Although it was a bit underhanded and without conscience, it was really, really useful.

"Everyone, please step aside. I don't want to hurt you by mistake ♪"

Elysia shouted to Saber Alter and the others. She didn't want to blow up her own teammates.

"Holy crap!" Saber Alter cursed. Of course she recognized the Pincer Attack Formation. Leff had enjoyed a good wave of it back then. Wasn't this underhanded Noble Phantasm with Kenji? How was Elysia using it?

Her allies all left the battlefield. Elysia looked at the Pincer Attack Formation and muttered, "How did the chant go again..."

"Ehe ♪ I remember now..."

"By cold-blooded stratagem, end all! What erupts is the Pincer Attack Formation!"

Elysia, imitating what she had seen, drew the bowstring taut. The arrow, loaded with hundreds of Lahmu, shone brightly, as if it were a small sun. A terrifying power raged within the arrow, like a runaway wild horse.

WHOOSH!

Elysia released the taut bowstring, and an arrow like a nuclear warhead shot out.

BOOM!!

A brilliant light exploded on the battlefield. A soaring pillar of flame shot up from the ground, piercing the heavens and the earth. An endless sea of fire rose, and the devastating impact engulfed all the Lahmu on the field. The ugly bodies of the Lahmu were vaporized at a speed visible to the naked eye, unable to withstand the power of this one arrow.

"It's this useful ♪?"

Elysia was a little surprised at the effect of the Pincer Attack Formation. No wonder Kenji liked to use it. It was simple and saved a lot of trouble. You didn't need to consume much of your own power, just the ammunition.

"Ahem..."

The battlefield was a scorched black. All the Lahmu had vanished. Kingu, who had been caught in the blast, had managed to survive by using a defense formed from the Chains of Heaven, but he was still shaken to the point of coughing up blood.

Damn it! I almost took a trip to the Underworld! What kind of hellish attack is this?

And he hadn't even been at the center. Otherwise, the injuries he had sustained would have been even more severe.

"Watch me... backhand!"

SPLAT!

Kenji appeared in front of Kingu, one hand patting his shoulder, the other pulling the Holy Grail from inside his body. He casually tossed it to Gudako.

"What?!"

"You..."

"Me, what?"

POW!

Before Kingu could say anything, he was directly knocked unconscious by Kenji. So noisy. Just go to sleep.

Young people's bodies are so good. They fall asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow.

"Vast Knocking!"

Thump, thump, thump!

Kenji glanced around, and with a powerful Knocking strike on the ground, he paralyzed all the attacking Lahmu.

I don't care where your pressure points are, or if you even have any. With one Vast Knocking, you all have to play red light, green light. Don't move!

Even the spreading speed of the black mud was greatly slowed.

On the other side, the marathon runner, Merlin.

"?"

He, who had been running with great vigor, suddenly found that he couldn't run anymore. He was completely baffled. What's going on?

Clairvoyance, activate!

His present-seeing Clairvoyance instantly let him know the reason. Merlin was speechless.

Wait a minute, buddy (Kenji), are you targeting me on purpose? Besides those immobilized Lahmu, I'm the only one who can't move.

He would even have to expend a little effort to undo the Knocking. What a sin~

Excuse me, was that on purpose, or was it an accident?

The Ziggurat of Uruk.

Gilgamesh looked at Kingu, his expression complicated. Siduri's was the same. This face... it left too deep an impression on them. Enkidu was their dearest friend. They had had unforgettable memories together.

"Siduri, take him down," Gilgamesh said.

He wasn't worried that the awakened Kingu would harm Siduri. Now was not the time to deal with him.

Siduri nodded and took Kingu away from the ziggurat.

"This king thanks you for that," Gilgamesh said meaningfully.

Kenji understood what he meant. Besides helping Uruk, he had also saved Siduri.

"You should thank my precious daughter instead," Kenji said with a smile. It was little Qin Ya (with the Cocoon of Finality fighting for her) who had made the move. Of course, if not for her, he would have stepped in as well.

"That's true. This is for you."

Gilgamesh thought for a moment and took out a radiant emerald gemstone. This was the first gemstone carved by humanity. More accurately, it was the first batch of gemstones. There was no order of precedence; they had all been carved at the same time. The other gemstones had been used elsewhere.

Kenji didn't hold back and directly tossed the gemstone to little Qin Ya as a small toy. It still had some collection value.

"Before..."

Gilgamesh inconspicuously glanced at Gudako, who was playing with the Holy Grail.

That chaotic evil aura... even he had felt a sense of dread. His body had couldn't help but tremble. That great terror was unheard of. Even Tiamat, who was still at sea, had not given him this kind of feeling.

"What's wrong?" Gudako sensed the gaze from the throne and looked at Gilgamesh with confusion.

"Ahem, it's nothing."
