Facing the Chromatic Dragon Queen's fury and fighting spirit, which seemed set to burn the world to ashes, Bahamut spread his wings. He shifted his position to avoid Tiamat's attack—a pounce that fell like a meteor, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter stone. Looking up at this old friend, with whom he had an inseparable bond across two worlds, the god showed his true emotions for the first time, with no other beings to observe.
It was a weariness that defied description, and a sincere, heartfelt pity:
"Tiamat, even though you've changed shells, you're always so zealous and stubborn. Honestly, sometimes I really envy you. You should know that I am your destined nemesis, the foe you cannot defeat. Yet still, you never give up, not until the next time I kill you…"
At this point, a complex expression appeared in Bahamut's eyes as he asked, "But now that we've come to another world, can we not have a different ending between us?"
