On this day, the black sea receded from the earth, and the land was peaceful.
However, the traces left by the war were still there.
The land was burned by the black mud, leaving only a scorched plain. No one knew how long it would take for the land to return to its original appearance.
Especially Uruk, after that battle, the city itself was almost turned into ruins, and the land outside the city was turned into a wasteland because of the battle between Rozen and Tiamat. It was as if a volcano had erupted there.
However, this battle had finally come to an end.
In Uruk, all the tamed monsters summoned by Rozen disappeared, leaving only a group of servants and the surviving Uruk soldiers.
At this moment, the soldiers were all gathered at the Tower of God. They had brought out the citizens from the underground shelters.
The citizens who could see the light of day looked at the ruins of Uruk. They were a little sad, but more than that, they were happy that they had survived a disaster.
Siduri was the first to come out of the shelter. Looking at the people gathered in front of the divine tower, she couldn't help but cry tears of joy.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of surviving the end of the world, and cheers and cries became the only sound on this land.
However, led by Gilgamesh, everyone still had a question.
"How did you deal with Tiamat?"
Gilgamesh asked that question on behalf of everyone.
That was the common question in everyone's mind.
According to the plan, after Tiamat's Spiritual Base was weakened to its original size, Rozen would use the Self-Wounding Rope to seal Tiamat again.
However, even if the seal was successful, the problem still wouldn't be solved.
Even if Tiamat was sealed again, she still wouldn't die.
Since she wouldn't die, then even if Tiamat stopped moving, the Sea of Life that was launched from her would still flood the land, continuously create Lachmus, occupy the land, and destroy all life.
That was Tiamat's nature and instinct as the Evil of Mankind, and even she couldn't control it.
In that case, how did Rozen deal with Tiamat?
"Don't tell me you've banished my mother back to the imaginary world?"
Ishtar asked curiously.
It was not an easy task to banish Tiamat to the Virtual World.
However, everyone already knew that Rozen was a Magician and possessed magic.
Although the current version of Holy Annihilation still had its limitations and couldn't achieve true omniscience and omnipotence, it should be able to open the passage to Virtual World, right?
Then, it was very likely that Rozen would banish Tiamat, who had been re-sealed, to the Virtual World.
However …
"Tiamat has the Holy Grail in hand. It was the Holy Grail that awakened her and brought her back to this world. Even if I banish her to the virtual world again, she can still return with the power of the Holy Grail."
Rozen shook his head. While denying Ishtar's statement, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Actually, I didn't really get rid of Tiamat, I saved her instead."
Rescue?
What did that mean?
No one understood.
Seeing this, Rozen smiled slightly, as if he was in a good mood, and very crafty at the same time.
"I'll let you see it, don't be scared."
After saying that, Rozen said to the person next to him.
"Come out."
As soon as that was said, the Illusory Mist around Rozen began to sway.
That was the movement produced when the servant materialized from the state of Spirit Body, which was no stranger to everyone.
Seeing this scene, everyone thought that Rozen let Attie pull him out.
However, the next second, the figure that appeared in front of everyone made everyone's pupils shrink, and their faces changed drastically.
"What …!?"
"How could …!?"
"Impossible!"
Gilgamesh, Ishtar, Siduri, and the others were all shocked speechless.
Even Matthew and others were shocked.
In the Illusory Mist, the figure full of motherly love slowly appeared.
White and beautiful skin.
She had a graceful and graceful figure.
Strong and powerful horns.
Eyes with a sea of stars inside.
The figure that appeared in front of everyone, if it wasn't Tiamat, who else could it be?
Just like the first time she appeared, Tiamat returned to her goddess form, and her hands and feet were tied up by ropes. She floated in the air, and there was a black sea surging under her feet.
However, the black sea was limited to a meter around Tiamat, and there were no signs of it expanding. Tiamat didn't follow her instincts to corrode the ground, but just floated there quietly, looking at everyone, as if she was looking at a pitiful and cute child who wanted to get close but didn't dare to. She was full of sadness and melancholy.
However, when Tiamat's gaze turned to Rozen, there was only strong love and gentleness in her eyes.
"This … this …"
Looking at this scene, everyone, including Gilgamesh, was shocked, stunned, at a loss for what to do, and in disbelief. They didn't know how to react at all.
Of course, Rozen knew that everyone would be extremely shocked.
But this was reality.
"From the beginning, I didn't want to defeat Tiamat. I just wanted Tiamat to return to being a goddess and return to her original state."
That was what Rozen said.
"Although this can't solve the problem, even if Tiamat is sealed and returns to her original state, her nature and characteristics will still cause her power to corrode this land and replace the entire ecosystem. There is no way to suppress it."
However, Tiamat couldn't suppress it herself, but that didn't mean that Rozen couldn't help her suppress it.
"Did I tell you about the Absolute Contract?" Rozen looked at everyone, smiled, and said, "As long as there is an Absolute Contract with me, no matter who it is, they will turn into pure records and be engraved into my soul. They will never be able to disobey me."
Wouldn't things be simple this way?
"As long as I establish an Absolute Contract with Tiamat, then with the binding of the contract, I can completely give her orders, suppress her instincts, and make her my servant."
This was Rozen's plan.
Rozen had never thought of defeating Tiamat. He just wanted to establish an Absolute Contract with her, so that she would become his servant like Attila and receive salvation.
"Although the premise of establishing this contract is that the other party must put me first in her heart, and logically speaking, Tiamat shouldn't meet this condition. But for Tiamat, who has returned to being a goddess, humans are the targets she should naturally kill, but also the targets she should naturally love. Whether in a good or bad sense, as her children, humans are the first in Tiamat's heart. Naturally, I am one of them, and because of the previous factors, I should be much more special in Tiamat's heart than ordinary humans."
If that was the case, there would be a loophole for him to take advantage of.
Rozen was gambling.
Gambling on whether he could meet the conditions of an Absolute Contract with Tiamat.
And in the end, Rozen succeeded.
"The advantage of an Absolute Contract is that once the conditions are met, even without the consent of the other party, the contract can still be established."
So, after Rozen used the Self-Wounding Rope to seal Tiamat and let Tiamat return to being a goddess, he activated the Absolute Contract on the spot, turned Tiamat into a record, and engraved it into his soul.
In other words …
"I have subdued the beast of sin and the evil of mankind."
Rozen declared.
"The crisis of mankind has been resolved."
That was it.
