Apparently the mirrorlist file is horribly corrupted; it looks like you’ve got a copy of the site index page rather than a list of mirror servers.

Which image did you install, and what are you doing after booting into the installed OS to trigger this issue?

I did absolutely nothing after installation. I just ran the Garuda assistant to update the system and this happens. First two times I used with KDE Dr460nized. Then the third time I used KDE bare one. All three times I did absolutely nothing just installed the system and ran the update command to get this error.

So now how do I fix it?

Go here:

and follow the instructions to re-add the repository to your system.

Then you can work out why it became corrupted in the first place so, if there is a problem, it can be fixed.
