"You've landed so many hits on me, isn't it my turn next?"
Saying with a smile, Arkhan unleashed the Black Dragon Body, his body was covered in black scales, a pair of dragon wings sprouted from his back, his eyes turned into icy vertical pupils, his long black hair danced wildly, and he exuded a chilling aura of death.
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
Without giving Gorgon any chance to react, he relentlessly pounded her face with one punch after another, the echoing punching sounds reverberating like a drummer striking a drum.
Gorgon staggered back under his relentless assault, completely stunned.
Likewise, Kingu also looked incredulous.
"Enough!"
After being punched in the face dozens of times in succession, Gorgon finally snapped out of her daze, roaring in anger as she emitted powerful waves of magical energy, forcing Arkhan to retreat.
"Despicable humans like you deserve a painful death!"
Gorgon, never before subjected to such humiliation, was on the brink of madness.
"I will make you regret your actions in the most cruel way!"
"Pandemonium Cetus!"
Suddenly, a layer of blood-red light swiftly enveloped Arkhan.
It was none other than Gorgon's most powerful Noble Phantasm, an enhanced version of her Noble Phantasm 'Blood Fort Andromeda' in her Rider class, but without requiring any preparation time, that could be activated simply by releasing its true name.
Its effect was to dissolve all life within the designated area.
Humans would immediately lose their lives, and even Servants would suffer severe damage.
In the next second, a sense of heaviness and oppression descended upon Arkhan as he felt his body becoming incredibly heavy, his magical energy rapidly dissipating as if being drained away by something.
"You despicable crawling creature, you've really angered me this time."
Gorgon's eyes shimmered with icy cruelty.
"I wasn't planning to move so soon, but since you've underestimated and angered me, I've decided to rid this earth of those bothersome humans once and for all."
"After I've killed you, I'll lead my demonic beast army to break through that ridiculous wall and wipe out all humans!"
"What a pity, you won't have that chance." Arkhan calmly met her gaze. "Because I'll deal with you right here, right now."
"This is what I hate most about humans, arrogant and ignorant!" Gorgon looked at him with disgust. "Haven't you realized your situation yet?"
"It's you who hasn't realized the situation, Gorgon."
"Cosmic Juggernaut, Second Power — Void Enclave."
An invisible field expanded from Arkhan as its center, quickly covering a three-meter radius around him.
Within the field, he seemed to be in a different space, completely unaffected by the surrounding environment, even Gorgon's Noble Phantasm 'Pandemonium Cetus' couldn't affect him at all.
At this moment, although Arkhan seemed to be still present, there were countless overlapping imaginary spaces around him, overlaying the real world. As long as these spaces weren't shattered, no form of attack could harm him.
From this, it sounded somewhat similar to 'Avalon'.
No matter how fiercely Gorgon launched her attacks, they couldn't affect him at all.
At this point, the battle was essentially over.
Even if she was furious and unwilling, she couldn't change the outcome of defeat.
As dusk approached, the blood-red sunset cast its light upon the earth, witnessing the end of this mother of monsters.
After hours of battle, even Gorgon, with her vast massive Saint Graph, was exhausted.
Eventually, the once formidable Goddess of Demonic Beasts lay on the ground, her expression dim, her strength dwindling, only the flames of vengeance still flickering in her eyes.
"Despite bearing the name of goddess, at the end of the day, beings like you are just cursed creatures."
Arkhan walked up to Gorgon with Black Abyss in hand, locking eyes with hers, which were filled with unwillingness.
"The desire for revenge has completely blinded you and consumed your soul, becoming your fuel. I can't judge whether this is right or wrong, but to me, someone like you is just too tragic and pitiful."
"Now, it's time to end all of this."
Meanwhile, bound by golden chains, Kingu watched Arkhan's back with a hint of cruelty flickering in their purple eyes.
'Yes, kill her, and then, you will truly usher in the apocalypse...'
Arkhan raised Black Abyss and thrust it toward Gorgon's forehead without hesitation.
*Pu-chi!*
In just a few seconds, Gorgon's eyes dimmed completely, turning into a silent, lifeless gray.
Along with her colossal body, all vitality was lost.
Excitedly, Kingu waited for a few minutes but found no change around them.
At this moment, they quickly realized that their mother was still asleep and not waking up.
'What happened? Why is this happening? Shouldn't Mother have been stimulated and awakened by now?' Kingu wondered, his face showed a confused expression.
"You seem quite lost in thought."
A familiar voice suddenly came from beside Kingu, jolting them awake and making them realize the terrifying man was standing next to them.
"That's because you killed my mother..." Kingu replied reluctantly.
"Don't play dumb with me. You're Tiamat's child, since when did Gorgon become your mother?" Arkhan responded indifferently. "She was just a stand-in."
"You knew all along?!" Kingu was shocked once again.
Since the Goddess of Beginning has been absent from this world for so long, her return isn't an easy thing. Because of this, you linked Gorgon's consciousness to Tiamat's, and this way, when the former dies, the latter would also be stimulated to awaken. Am I right?
"You!"
Kingu instantly felt a chill run down their spine as they looked at those calmly unsettling black eyes and couldn't help but shiver with a hint of fear creeping into their heart.
This was the first time they had felt such a sensation since they had woken up.
They must admit that this man was even scarier than Gilgamesh.
Arkhan didn't say much more and just silently grabbed Kingu by the collar and activated the Cosmic Juggernaut, heading straight for Uruk.
Since the Goddess of Demonic Beasts was dead and the Blood Fort was completely destroyed by him, those demonic beasts, without command or subsequent support, couldn't exert any pressure on the front lines anymore.
Next, it was time to prepare for the impending awakening of the Goddess of Beginning, Tiamat.
