[00:09] ---
    Gorgon!
[00:11] ---
    Let. Go! Let. Go! Let. Go! Let. Go!
[00:17] ---
    You. Dirty. Fakes!
[00:19] ---
    Enough squabbling.
[00:25] ---
    You're mindless hunks of mud.
[00:29] ---
    Why?
[00:30] ---
    Are you going to help us?
[00:33] ---
    Help you, was it?
[00:35] ---
    Yeah! This is where Tiamat—
[00:37] ---
    More like, you all are in the way!
[00:40] ---
    In the way?
[00:41] ---
    You can't even lift your shield.
[00:45] ---
    As for the Master, look at his fingertips.
[00:49] ---
    They're on the verge of necrosis
    from the drain of Magical Energy.
[00:53] ---
    I will smash Tiamat's wings.
[00:56] ---
    I shall teach her that it is she
    who slithers across the ground.
[01:02] ---
    I understand! I will trust you
    with everything here!
[01:06] ---
    I told you, I'm not here for you. Now leave.
[01:10] ---
    Immediately!
[01:14] ---
    Yeah.
[01:15] ---
    Thank you.
[01:17] ---
    Farewell.
[01:23] ---
    Senpai!
[01:25] ---
    Hold on a second, Senpai!
[01:26] ---
    That Gorgon is A—
[01:28] ---
    Mash!
[01:31] ---
    I know that.
[01:41] ---
    I didn't say a proper goodbye,
[01:44] ---
    but this is enough for me.
[01:48] ---
    I'm sorry.
[01:49] ---
    I just didn't want you two
    to see me in this form.
[01:53] ---
    I'm sure that would just hurt you
    more than you deserve.
[01:59] ---
    But, Tiamat...
[02:01] ---
    I will show you true pain!
[02:06] ---
    I will be the Great Snake...
[02:09] ---
    and bring the Earth Dragon down!
[02:16] ---
    Melt everything!
[02:18] ---
    Pandemonium Cetus!
[02:40] ---
    Thank you very much for the flowers.
[02:57] ---
    No good!
[02:58] ---
    We sealed off flight from her,
[03:00] ---
    but as long as she keeps creating black mud,
    we can't stop her advance to Uruk!
[03:04] ---
    Those two goddesses...
[03:06] ---
    Their performance was the best
    we could ever think of.
[03:09] ---
    I suppose there are some
    good goddesses out there after all.
[03:15] ---
    And now...
[04:54] ---
    Are you all right?
[04:55] ---
    King Gilgamesh!
[04:57] ---
    You're back.
[04:59] ---
    Take a look.
    This is Uruk in its entirety.
[05:02] ---
    One more step,
    and it will be wiped off the land.
[05:05] ---
    The end of one world.
[05:22] ---
    Here she comes.
    Our Mother appears.
[05:27] ---
    This will be Uruk's last stand against Tiamat!
[05:32] ---
    You sit there and see through this
    to the very end!
[05:41] ---
    You don't have lapis lazuli
    or any soldiers,
[05:44] ---
    yet the Dingirs are operating?
[05:45] ---
    Who do you think I am?
[05:47] ---
    All 360 Dingirs mounted here in Uruk
    were made by my hand,
[05:53] ---
    infused with my Magical Energy
    and controlled by me!
[05:59] ---
    If I work this body to death,
    I can control them all like this!
[06:03] ---
    I'll show you what I can do to stop Tiamat!
[06:10] ---
    Amazing!
[06:13] ---
    Ereshkigal!
[06:14] ---
    How are preparations in the underworld?
[06:15] ---
    Just a little more!
    Hold on for just a little more!
[06:39] ---
    King Gilgamesh?
[06:41] ---
    How dare you try to snipe him?
[06:43] ---
    You have good aim, too.
[06:45] ---
    Impressive, you damn Tiamat!
[06:48] ---
    K-King Gilgamesh!
[06:50] ---
    I—
[06:51] ---
    Worry not! It's only a mortal wound!
[06:53] ---
    If you lot are still fine,
    then all is well!
[06:58] ---
    Dingirs, work for me!
[07:01] ---
    Please stop!
[07:02] ---
    You're clearly in no condition to!
[07:05] ---
    Are you saying it's impossible?
[07:06] ---
    That I am at my limit?
[07:08] ---
    That Uruk cannot fight anymore?
[07:11] ---
    Do you also claim so, Ritsuka Fujimaru?
[07:23] ---
    No!
[07:25] ---
    No!
[07:27] ---
    Uruk is far from finished!
[07:34] ---
    Well said!
[07:36] ---
    Then, it's time for me
    to finally get serious!
[07:38] ---
    I mean, I was going all out from the start,
[07:41] ---
    but I do have a king's vanity!
[07:43] ---
    We've confirmed
    a huge discharge of Laḫmu!
[07:45] ---
    A horde is coming ahead of Tiamat!
[07:49] ---
    It's no good! There are too many!
[07:51] ---
    This is...
[07:55] ---
    Hold on!
[07:56] ---
    That's looking more like an anti-castle weapon!
[07:59] ---
    Are they still up for another?
[08:01] ---
    That means I have to unleash
    the Magical Energy I saved up...
[08:04] ---
    to slam them down into the underworld!
[08:17] ---
    No way! Those chains...
[08:19] ---
    Kingu?
[08:35] ---
    You really are mass-produced trash
    after all. A pittance.
[08:39] ---
    How. You. Alive?
[08:41] ---
    Kingu!
[08:44] ---
    To be having trouble
    against this mass-produced trash
[08:47] ---
    shows how useless
    those obsolete humans truly are.
[08:51] ---
    And yet,
[08:53] ---
    they had the gall to talk back to me.
[08:57] ---
    Both that Master of Chaldea and him.
[09:01] ---
    For all their show of confidence,
[09:04] ---
    they couldn't do anything alone.
[09:06] ---
    But they survived to the end.
[09:11] ---
    I can do anything alone, huh?
[09:14] ---
    I guess I already was imperfect
    at that point.
[09:18] ---
    Why...
[09:19] ---
    You. Ally? With. The. Humans?
[09:22] ---
    I haven't sided with humans.
[09:25] ---
    I'm a new type of human entirely.
[09:27] ---
    I am Kingu, the one and only member
    of the new humanity!
[09:33] ---
    However...
[09:35] ---
    No matter who your mother is
    or how you were born,
[09:37] ---
    simply do the things
    you really want to do.
[09:40] ---
    Like you and I once did.
[09:45] ---
    Forget about Mother or my origins...
    Do something I truly want to do, huh?
[09:51] ---
    I didn't have such a thing.
[09:54] ---
    Nothing at all.
[09:56] ---
    I didn't have anything, Gil!
[10:00] ---
    But...
[10:02] ---
    when I think about it,
    there was one thing.
[10:05] ---
    I wanted to see you!
[10:06] ---
    I wanted to talk to you!
[10:09] ---
    All of the memories left in this heart...
[10:12] ---
    and my impressions of them...
[10:15] ---
    I wanted to share them with you...
[10:17] ---
    as your friend.
[10:21] ---
    But that can't happen!
[10:23] ---
    That wish wasn't mine!
    It belonged to the machine called Enkidu!
[10:28] ---
    And my wish, Kingu's wish,
    is the same as it's always been!
[10:30] ---
    It's no good!
    She's heading into the city!
[10:33] ---
    I was born into this world
    in order to preserve it.
[10:41] ---
    Farewell, Mother.
[10:44] ---
    You chose the wrong child.
[10:50] ---
    At this rate...
[10:53] ---
    Is that...
[11:01] ---
    This body remembers
    what it's supposed to do.
[11:09] ---
    Kingu, son of Tiamat,
[11:12] ---
    will show you the power
    of the Chain of the Heavens!
[11:23] ---
    Mother's fury is a thing of the past!
[11:27] ---
    Now, I will awaken the breath of stars!
[11:36] ---
    Enuma Elish!
[11:51] ---
    That just now...
[11:53] ---
    See for yourself.
[11:59] ---
    Just a few more steps over here,
[12:01] ---
    and this ziggurat
    will be reduced to ashes.
[12:05] ---
    But it's frustrating her. With those chains,
    even a single step is so difficult!
[12:09] ---
    It was only a momentary restraint,
[12:12] ---
    but for her, a mind-numbing eternity.
[12:17] ---
    Kingu...
[12:19] ---
    The Chain of the Heavens even held back
    the physical strength of a god of creation!
[12:25] ---
    I sent my friend off twice.
[12:28] ---
    The first time I was mourning,
    but this time is different!
[12:31] ---
    His proud, valiant figure...
[12:33] ---
    is burned into my memory for eternity!
[12:40] ---
    I thank you, Fujimaru!
[12:43] ---
    Even if everything in this era
    had been called into service,
[12:46] ---
    I have a feeling it would've ended here.
[12:49] ---
    You are a foreigner.
[12:51] ---
    A foreign element in this period
    and a surplus.
[12:55] ---
    However, that very surplus was the thing
[12:58] ---
    that helped us face destruction
    we alone could not have overcome,
[13:02] ---
    and helped us make our final move!
[13:06] ---
    The time has come.
[13:08] ---
    I'm leaving everything in your hands now.
[13:13] ---
    - Okay!
    - Okay!
[13:17] ---
    Fujimaru!
[13:21] ---
    The phase transition between underground Uruk
    and the underworld is done!
[13:25] ---
    We just need to dig a hole!
[13:27] ---
    Master!
[13:28] ---
    Yeah!
[13:29] ---
    Ishtar! We're going to drop Tiamat
    into the underworld!
[13:33] ---
    I've been waiting for this!
    Okay, Fujimaru!
[13:35] ---
    As requested,
[13:36] ---
    I'm going to punch through the ground
    beneath your feet with no mercy!
[13:40] ---
    Gate Open!
[13:45] ---
    From the great heavens,
    towards the great earth!
[13:48] ---
    The future will take care of itself!
[13:55] ---
    Fujimaru! Mash!
[13:57] ---
    Both of you, prepare for impact!
[14:06] ---
    An Gal Ta Ki Gal Šè!
[14:16] ---
    Mash!
[14:17] ---
    Yes, Master!
[14:37] ---
    Master!
[14:38] ---
    I can't see what's below us!
[14:45] ---
    Is this...
[14:48] ---
    - Ereshkigal!
    - Ereshkigal!
[14:49] ---
    Welcome to the underworld.
[14:51] ---
    I made an exception
[14:53] ---
    and authorized permission for you
    to exist and to float within the underworld.
[14:56] ---
    For now, within the underworld,
[14:59] ---
    you do not count as living creatures.
[15:01] ---
    Gather Magical Energy in your feet
[15:03] ---
    and imagine the ground.
[15:05] ---
    That way, you should be able to hover.
[15:07] ---
    It takes a bit of getting used to...
[15:09] ---
    ...but it's fine once we get used to it.
[15:11] ---
    Right!
[15:13] ---
    This really, really is an exception, okay?
[15:16] ---
    Yep! Thank you for saving us, Ereshkigal!
[15:19] ---
    Thank you very much!
[15:21] ---
    O-Okay. Then, we're fine.
[15:26] ---
    This quaking...
[15:28] ---
    Now, Fujimaru, Mash, behold!
[15:37] ---
    Tiamat...
[15:39] ---
    Then, we were successful
    in leading her to the underworld!
[15:41] ---
    But what in the world is that light?
[15:43] ---
    Amazing!
[15:44] ---
    Enough heat comparable to Ishtar's
    Noble Phantasm set Tiamat ablaze,
[15:47] ---
    and it doesn't seem to be going out!
[15:49] ---
    That's one of the underworld's
    security features.
[15:50] ---
    This happens to the living
    who come without my permission.
[15:54] ---
    This law was laid down
    by the world known as "Uruk."
[15:57] ---
    Not even Tiamat
    is an exception to that rule.
[15:59] ---
    So, it's an Authority
    only you have, Ereshkigal!
[16:03] ---
    I feel bad for King Gilgamesh,
[16:06] ---
    but I'm going to finish her off
    as the master of the underworld!
[16:10] ---
    Hear me, gallû spirits,
    the spears of rotting flesh and death!
[16:15] ---
    Make her feel the wrath
    of the iron hammer of Kur!
[16:21] ---
    Here in Kur,
    even Tiamat is just another god!
[16:24] ---
    An all-out attack from me and the gallû spirits
    was enough to dispatch...
[16:29] ---
    To dispa...
[16:32] ---
    Is Tiamat...
[16:34] ---
    covering herself in mud?
[16:36] ---
    Chaos Tide corruption!
[16:38] ---
    This is bad!
[16:39] ---
    It'll take over the whole underworld
    if it keeps spreading!
[16:44] ---
    Wh-Wh-What... What's happening?
[16:46] ---
    She can even corrupt the underworld!
[16:48] ---
    That's not all!
[16:50] ---
    Tiamat's Spirit Origin
    is reverting to the Age of Gods!
[16:52] ---
    It has reached the Jurassic Age!
[16:54] ---
    Spirit Origin inflation has halted,
[16:55] ---
    and the Magical Reactor Core
    is rebooting, as well!
[16:59] ---
    The wounds she sustained in the fall
    to the underworld are healing, too!
[17:04] ---
    Transformation into dragon form complete!
[17:06] ---
    The creature before you
    is undoubtedly a god in itself!
[17:15] ---
    It's all over if a wave of Chaos Tide lands!
[17:18] ---
    Isn't there some way to hold it back?
[17:21] ---
    I'll try it out.
[17:23] ---
    I'll try it out, but...
[17:25] ---
    the corruption is too overwhelming!
[17:28] ---
    Ereshkigal!
[17:30] ---
    You stay focused on Tiamat!
[17:32] ---
    Right! We'll take care of things here!
[17:34] ---
    I'm thankful
    that you're counting on me for this,
[17:37] ---
    but Kur's output is dropping as a whole!
[17:39] ---
    But if we don't defeat her here,
    we have nowhere to fall back upon!
[17:42] ---
    This is just speculation,
    but Tiamat is likely at her weakest right now!
[17:46] ---
    We must defeat her
    before she escapes from the underworld!
[17:51] ---
    Brace yourself, Ereshkigal!
[18:06] ---
    Huh? What is this?
[18:08] ---
    Is this...
[18:09] ---
    Chaos Tide's detoxification is accelerating!
[18:12] ---
    Laḫmu emittance is ZERO?
[18:15] ---
    Then, what you see there is just a...
[18:18] ---
    - No way!
    - No way!
[18:19] ---
    All right!
[18:20] ---
    I made it in time!
[18:23] ---
    Operation "If the mud births life, all you have to do
    is change that life into something harmless"...
[18:28] ---
    is a great success!
[18:30] ---
    - Merlin!
    - Merlin!
[18:31] ---
    Merlin? How can you be there?
[18:34] ---
    Don't tell me you were re-summoned!
    No, no, no! That can't be!
[18:38] ---
    Rest assured,
[18:39] ---
    I am the real deal,
    the genuine Merlin.
[18:42] ---
    I just popped over from Avalon!
[18:45] ---
    - You ran over?
    - You ran over?
[18:46] ---
    That's right!
[18:47] ---
    I do hate sad partings.
[18:50] ---
    Letting death be what separates us
    would've been too depressing!
[18:52] ---
    So, I came to the conclusion that this was
    the time for me to bend the rules a bit.
[18:56] ---
    Merlin!
[18:58] ---
    After all, I enjoy bolstering my reputation
    as the Mage of Flowers!
[19:03] ---
    You can praise me all you want.
[19:05] ---
    Yes, Merlin!
    We're thrilled to see you again!
[19:08] ---
    I really am grateful that you came
    all the way here, Merlin!
[19:14] ---
    The decrease in Kur's output has stopped!
    That means I can—
[19:19] ---
    Looks like this is no time
    to be indulging in the joys of reunion.
[19:23] ---
    Tiamat has deployed horned wings!
[19:26] ---
    She's planning on flying again?
[19:27] ---
    After all this? I can't believe it!
[19:30] ---
    Repainting all the hatred and sadness
    abandoned as unnecessary for human history,
[19:34] ---
    and all ecosystems on Earth
    that resulted from such an act...
[19:38] ---
    The joy of returning once again
    to being the mother of all...
[19:41] ---
    With that true nature,
    her Class has been determined.
[19:45] ---
    "The Goddess of Creation"
    is a fictional title.
[19:49] ---
    Please, let me make it there in time!
[19:51] ---
    This, in fact, is the great catastrophe most denied
    by human history, left behind by humans.
[19:57] ---
    One of the Seven Evils of Humanity...
[19:59] ---
    The beast embracing
    the natural law of regression...
[20:02] ---
    Beast II!
[20:04] ---
    No way!
[20:05] ---
    What is that thing?
[20:07] ---
    She's going to start her flight!
[20:08] ---
    If she returns to Uruk, the defensive mechanism
    of the underworld will be nullified, too!
[20:12] ---
    Moreover, she'll regain invincibility,
    once again becoming unable to die!
[20:16] ---
    Fujimaru, Mash...
[20:18] ---
    Your journey in this Singularity
    must have been wilder than anywhere else,
[20:22] ---
    and that beast stronger than anything else.
[20:25] ---
    Two goddesses trying to ground her,
[20:28] ---
    a pitfall into the underworld
    with Uruk as bait,
[20:31] ---
    the Chain of the Heavens binding her,
[20:33] ---
    the punishment of the underworld...
[20:34] ---
    and...
[20:35] ---
    my flowers, beautiful if nothing else.
[20:38] ---
    Everyone has tried everything
    under the sun to get even this far.
[20:43] ---
    But it's still not enough.
[20:45] ---
    She still does not know fear.
    She has no natural enemy.
[20:49] ---
    She is unfamiliar with He
    whom I dub "Death."
[20:52] ---
    It wasn't King Gilgamesh.
[20:53] ---
    Nor the Mage King's Holy Grail.
[20:56] ---
    The one who called him forth
    was none other than you,
[20:58] ---
    Ritsuka Fujimaru.
[21:00] ---
    The enemy is the Evil of Humanity, a Beast.
[21:03] ---
    The conditions were right for him
    to appear in this land.
[21:06] ---
    The weapons that stand against the Beasts
    of the Counter Force... In other words,
[21:10] ---
    a Grand-class Servant!
[21:13] ---
    So, there was meaning
    to all of your battles.
[21:18] ---
    Now, look up at the sky, Primordial Sea!
[21:23] ---
    Look up, Goddess of Life, and know Death!
[21:28] ---
    All that begins must end. So, too,
    all that lives, dies, and in dying, value finds.
[21:35] ---
    Thy vaunted eternity
    is but hollow slumber.
[21:40] ---
    Beast of Disaster,
    evil born of mankind's folly,
[21:45] ---
    thy benevolence which desired regression
    shews thy rejection's roots.
[21:51] ---
    Thou fallen god, to beasthood turned,
[21:53] ---
    if "Primordial Mother" be thy title,
    attend, and hear my name.
[21:57] ---
    From the mountain abyss, I come,
    and only death do I bring.
[22:02] ---
