Chapter 53: The Great Power that Destroy Life
🕑 Added 2025-03-10 03:00:02 +0000 UTC【 After Quetzalcoatl’s explosive attack, the scene shifted back to Chaldea.
“The release of Noble Phantasm [Piedra Del Sol] has been confirmed!” a voice announced.
“The black mud was rapidly burning and evaporating under the intense heat. Ushiwakamaru and Benkei’s spiritual bases began to fade along with it.”
The ground beneath Tiamat turned into molten magma, causing her immense body to sink slightly. With great effort, she managed to support herself by plunging her hand into the magma.
On the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka shouted in alarm:
"Tiamat! Stop!"
"We have successfully stopped the advance of the Goddess Taimat!..." The people of Chaldea could not help but sigh in relief. They had finally successfully stopped Taimat's advance!
“If we just buy enough time, the gate to the underworld will open,” Da Vinci said, a hint of hope in her voice.
“This means we’ve won… right?” Dr. Roman also sighed in relief!
But their relief was short-lived.
“Quetzalcoatl, continue to use her Noble Phantasm!” Everyone in Chaldea was still worried about the situation on the battlefield and did not dare to be careless!
The camera panned back to Quetzalcoatl, who stood gasping for breath amidst the magma. Her previous attack had nearly drained all her magical energy, pushing her to her limits.
Suddenly, Quetzalcoatl’s eyes widened as she noticed something alarming.
Looking up at Tiamat, she saw the giant horn slowly glowing red. White steam-like gas began billowing out continuously.
Slowly, Tiamat’s massive head lifted, and her hand emerged from the magma.
“No…” Fujimaru whispered, his heart sinking.
Tiamat wasn’t merely standing—she was floating above the magma, defying gravity entirely.
The people outside the video felt an overwhelming sense of despair wash over them. 】

Leonardo Da Vinci leaned back in her chair, her fingers steepled as she analyzed the data on the screen. Her sharp eyes scanned the information, her mind racing to piece together a solution.
“Although this situation feels hopeless, at least we’ve gained crucial information,”
She remarked thoughtfully, her voice calm despite the gravity of the situation.
“From what I gathered in the video, our plan should be to drag Tiamat down to the underworld. That seems to be the only way to neutralize her immortality.”
She continued, her tone analytical yet tinged with a hint of optimism.
Dr. Roman nodded slowly, though his expression was far from confident. His usual cheerful demeanor was replaced by a rare seriousness as he processed the information.
“Tiamat’s immortality stems from the living beings on the surface. As long as life exists here, she cannot truly die.”
His voice was heavy with the weight of the revelation. The implications were staggering—Tiamat’s connection to life itself made her an almost insurmountable foe.
Mash, standing nearby, clenched her fists.
“Then we must drag the goddess Tiamat into the realm of the dead—the underworld! It’s the only way to stop her!”
However, watching Tiamat rise again in the video filled Dr. Roman with growing unease. He sighed, running a hand through his hair as doubt crept into his voice.
“But can it really be done…?”
He muttered, doubt creeping into his voice. The question hung in the air, a stark reminder of the enormity of the task before them.

Gilgamesh scowled, his golden eyes narrowing as he watched the screen. The sight of Tiamat recovering so quickly after such a devastating blow clearly displeases him.
“I didn’t expect her to recover so quickly after such a devastating blow!”
He growled, his voice dripping with irritation.
Even those outside the video were stunned. How could Tiamat withstand an attack of that magnitude? The sheer scale of her power was beyond comprehension.
But even Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others in the video couldn’t believe their eyes!
【 Ishtar opened his eyes wide in disbelief and said: “Didn’t they say her legs couldn’t support her weight…?”
After the Chaldeans tried their best to analyze the situation, they quickly replied to Ishtar and his people: “She focused her magic power on the large horn and the structure behind it, ignoring her weight entirely, and was able to successfully stand up. Is it possible that...”
Leonardo Da Vinci’s voice rang out urgently.
“And now she’s not only standing but also flying!”
Ishtar’s worldview shattered before her eyes. “Impossible! Mother is the goddess of the earth! She would never approach the sky!”. 】

Outside the video, Ishtar mirrored her reaction. She still refused to believe that her mother would approach the sky!
“This can’t be happening…!”
Ishtar’s voice was filled with disbelief as she watched the screen. The idea of Tiamat, the primordial mother of all life, ascending into the heavens was almost too much to comprehend.
~Chaldea~
"This is a problem!"
Dr. Roman and Da Vinci exclaimed simultaneously, their voices filled with urgency. The sight of Tiamat ascending into the sky was a devastating blow to their carefully laid plans.
If dragging Tiamat into the underworld was their only chance of victory, then their strategy was already crumbling.
~Type-Moon World in the Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
"This is really hopeless!"
Emiya Shirou muttered.
First, it was Venus, then it was the Sun... The two goddesses' full-powered attacks couldn't even block her steps.
Finally destroyed the black mud that supported her movements! they can take a little breath... But they didn't think she could fly! No matter what they threw at Tiamat, she seemed unstoppable.
【 Then Mash spoke up, voicing everyone’s worst fear: “If she can fly, she won’t fall into the underworld! Then the battle plan is useless, Senpai!”
Hearing Mashu's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka gritted his teeth, his pupils trembled slightly, his mind racing for solutions.
Let Mash unleash her Noble Phantasm? No, Mash Noble Phantasm "Lord Camelot" (Now is a Castle of Distant Ideals) is a shield that can't stop Tiamat, so it doesn't make sense here!
Let Ishtar use her Noble Phantasm again? - I'm afraid it'll just be a waste of the command seal! Isn't there no other way?
Just as despair threatened to overwhelm him, Quetzalcoatl’s words echoed in his ears.
“The weapons of the Mesopotamian world can’t harm her at all. I said it before!”
As Quetzalcoatl finished speaking, he saw her standing in the magma and placing the treasure in her hand, which was 'Piedra Del Sol (Solar Calendar Stone)' into her body!
Quetzalcoatl stomped on the ground with one foot, and her armor began to break!
“But because this body is a Goddess from the distant Mystic land!”
"Bang--"
It was as if something in Quetzalcoatl's body had broken, and the aura on her body shot up rapidly. And her magical power began to boil, emitting a terrifying aura as she opened her eyes! Revealing golden eyes
“The God of Mesopotamia is no problem at all!”
“Let me show you the underground world of South America—the power of a great conflict that claimed countless lives!!!”
Quetzalcoatl kicked hard with her right foot, and the entire ground exploded! The magma on the ground was still surging with such impulse, exploding!
"Bang——"
Quetzalcoatl transformed into a golden beam of light and shot straight into the sky! 】
