Chapter 902 - 10: Mother of Creation - Tiamat! (Part 2)
Chapter 902 - 10: Mother of Creation - Tiamat! (Part 2)
She has awakened.
Jilgamesh carries it around every day, yet he doesn’t even know that the will of Tiamat inside has already been corrupted into evil.
The mythology of Mesopotamia later perished in ancient Persia and was assimilated by it. According to the historical timeline, Jilgamesh himself is a Holy Relic of Mesopotamia. Two things left from this civilization are the "Babylonian Creation Myth" and the "Epic of Jilgamesh."
The first is himself, and the other is the broken sword he carries.
Ancient Persia is equivalent to Zoroastrianism and its subsequent religious evolutions, leading down to Duncan’s old acquaintance, the aspect of Mitra.
Tiamat, with her concept of the Mother Goddess of Creation, had a profound impact on later Jewish religious texts and the Bible, especially the Old Testament. Later on, it evolved into the complete form of Monotheism, which also extinguished the pantheon of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, becoming the God faction.
She isn’t considered a remnant of past dynasties; rather, she is the debris from the Mythical Era that suddenly resurrected.
The world ascends in power.
This also implies that some Divine Spirits, which originally couldn’t descend, can now manifest in the real world in a compromised state through certain means, such as the Tiamat in front of us.
She is the last remnant of the Sumer mythology’s downfall.
Normally, Jilgamesh would be the final heir, but this guy is unreliable. By comparison, Tiamat has higher Legendary Level.
"Tiamat?"
Jilgamesh’s expression reveals a trace of fear. He’s used to bossing around in the Heroic Spirit faction, but suddenly encountering an entity from the Divine Spirit faction leaves him momentarily stunned.
Reality shatters.
The space around Duncan appears to crack, gradually peeling away from reality, as if entering a unique spatial plane.
——Mist-covered Avalon [Innate Barrier].
Duncan must go all out; otherwise, this battle could utterly erase Paris from the map.
"Fool."
"You carry around the Sumerian Creation Narrative and don’t even know that Tiamat’s will is inside it?"
Duncan’s gaze is cold, his expression extremely grave.
This is Tiamat descending in an incomplete Divine Spirit form. Just her aspect form alone may not be Tiamat’s match, but in this hurried situation, Duncan also finds it difficult to summon more power.
According to Ancient Babylonian mythology.
Apsu and Tiamat created the world and gave birth to many gods.
But the clamor of the gods disturbed Apsu and Tiamat’s rest, so the two gods decided to eliminate their offspring to alleviate their suffering. However, the gods did not want to sit idly by, so they united in resistance, eventually leading to Apsu and Tiamat being slain by Ea and Marduk, respectively.
Furthermore, Marduk used Tiamat’s corpse to create heaven and earth, as well as the stars, thunder, and rain between them.
The myth of Tiamat essentially represents the transition from a matriarchal society to a patriarchal society.
"My children!..."
"Awaken... devour everything!..."
The Tiamat that appears at this moment is not the Divine Spirit itself; to describe it specifically, it’s a bit like powerful Divine Spirit corpses floating in the astral plane of the Dungeons and Dragons worldview suddenly resurrecting.
Her eyes are pitch black, like black holes consuming all emotions, leaving only the most fundamental primordial evil.
She has already become a Divine Abomination.
Buzz.
As Tiamat’s figure slowly rises, her body becomes increasingly gigantic, finally resembling a Titaness Giant from Olympus, gazing down at all creatures below. Her body is covered with black-red patterns, a combination of skin and scales, with her towering chest barely covered by a few scales, symbolizing motherhood. Her mythically noted breasts mentioned multiple times, behind her is a tail seemingly a fusion of a giant snake and a dragon.
Pools of black mud squirm under her terrifying power, gradually transforming into many ’myth’ side creatures, summoned in the form of Heroic Spirits.
——Winged Bipedal Serpent - Bashumu [Five-Star Gold].
——Triangular Lion Dragon - Ushumgallu [Six-Star Silver Grey].
——Seven-Headed Serpent - Mushmahhu [Five-Star Gold].
——Fury Serpent - Muššussu [Five-Star Gold].
——Mermaid - Kulullu [Five-Star Gold].
Figures exuding a filthy aura appear, as if mythical era beasts, descending into the Innate Barrier opened by Duncan.
A total of eleven monsters possessing Divinity.
Legend has it that Tiamat, to avenge her husband’s death, gave birth to "eleven monsters" to combat other gods.
It’s a bit tricky.
These eleven powerful monsters are not inferior to eleven formidable Heroic Spirits, and along with the corrupted resurrected Tiamat with Divine Spirit remnants, Duncan must bring out something from the bottom of the box to defeat them.
However, with the aspect Duncan has manifested now, there are indeed things that he cannot use.
Quick resolution!
If Tiamat continues to absorb power from the real world, eventually even his Holy Grail might get contaminated.
The angel wings behind Duncan slowly unfold, the dazzling Holy Light enveloping everything.
The Innate Barrier seems to be changing as well.
In the disbelieving gaze of Jilgamesh, everything around appears to transform into a paradise-like country, hills appearing one after another, finally forming a "Seven Hills of Heaven" scene.
Taking Rome as the model, a Vatican myth version, Seven Hills Heaven Mountain.
However, it is just a reflection. Duncan cannot truly control the power of Heaven. Even his angel aspect is a form gathered by the belief of mortals.
