Gilgamesh muttered a few words to himself, then prepared to send Siduri away.

"Alright, Siduri, let's go back quickly. Things are about to get chaotic here. If you stay any longer, you'll soon have a headache again."

"Eh? Yes, Your Majesty."

Siduri was somewhat puzzled, but since it was Gilgamesh's order, she naturally wouldn't disobey. She gave a slight bow and then prepared to leave the palace.

However, Gilgamesh's reminder came later than expected.

Or rather, the other party arrived far too quickly.

All I heard was—

boom! !

A deafening roar erupted overhead, followed by a spectacular scene reminiscent of a falling meteor. A meteor, radiating golden light, smashed a massive hole in the palace roof, revealing a scantily clad, black-haired goddess riding a blue electric scooter amidst the billowing dust and debris.

Although there are still some differences, if it were Lovi or Sakura here, they would definitely recognize that this is the goddess Ishtar who possesses Rin Tohsaka.

Seeing this guy barge in again, even Gilgamesh, who had foreseen the future, couldn't help but roar in anger: "Ishtar! You worthless goddess, can't you use the main entrance?! And what are you doing here instead of staying in your palace built of garbage?!"

"You bastard, Gilgamesh! You dare to openly insult me ​​in my own tower again! And you even turned my tower into your palace! Are you looking for death?!"

Compared to Gilgamesh, Ishtar was also in a fit of anger at this moment, and she retorted without any politeness.

"You useless, worthless goddess, instead of searching for gems in some mine in Mesopotamia, what brings you here to me?!"

"What do I want to do now?! You damned Golden Pikachu, you really dare to talk back, cursing me in my own tower! You're the one who should get out!!"

Gilgamesh's words thoroughly enraged Ishtar. This building wasn't the original royal palace of Uruk; it was her residence in Uruk! It was her temple in Uruk. In other words, this Gilgamesh had occupied her home and was now insulting her in front of her—had he no regard for the law?

Although he seems to be the king here.

"Hmph, your divine tower? Don't make me laugh, hahaha. Uruk is overflowing with wounded, and the monster front needs materials to repair. Even my palace has been dismantled for building materials. Right now, this building under your feet is the largest, and it's more suitable to be my palace than to be left idle as your divine tower. In other words, you, Ishtar, have been expelled from Uruk by me. Go cool off wherever you want!"

Gilgamesh snorted coldly and pointed at Ishtar's nose without any mercy, delivering his mocking remark.

"Not to mention that you, this useless goddess, can't help at all at a time like this, yet you have the audacity to ask me, the King, to support you? Uruk doesn't support idlers, so where would I find the time to continue supporting you? Moreover..."

At this point, Gilgamesh seemed to have thought of something, and a malicious smile appeared on his lips as he spoke.

"Given your habit of flying around everywhere and never going home, you probably don't know this. So, instead of this sacred tower, I suggest you go home and take a look, otherwise your temple on Mount Ebif might very well be taken over by other foreign goddesses~"

"what?"

Ishtar frowned, somewhat confused by Gilgamesh's meaning.

"Idiot! It means..."

Seeing that she didn't understand, Gilgamesh mocked her loudly without any politeness: "—Ishtar, your family is gone!!"

"Haha ...

With a triumphant shout, Gilgamesh's loud laughter once again echoed throughout the palace.

I'll recommend books regularly; hopefully, I'll survive until the end.

"A crossover anime chat group, but I've collected the whole world with my encyclopedia."

Despite having a cheat code in his previous life that allowed him to transmigrate to Xia Lai, he never even activated the system before his death.

In this life, Zhou Yuan, who has successfully reincarnated into the ordinary world, is determined to just laze around and enjoy his sweet romance with JK!

Unexpectedly, the [Encyclopedia System], which he thought was dead, suddenly revived one day, and he discovered that this so-called ordinary world was not so simple after all...

However, since he has a system, he can get rewards by collecting illustrations, and even if it's not a daily routine, it can't stop his determination to enjoy romance!

But something even more outrageous happened.

His system even provided a chat group as compensation!

Grand Arona: I'm sorry, teacher, I know I was wrong. Please come and save Giovatos!

Fu Xuan: When will you, my dear minister, visit Luofu again to discuss our great undertaking? If you are willing, I... I can offer you my white silk as a reward...

……

Damn it, I have to work overtime! I don't want to go! But glancing around at his side, he took back his words…

Mei Liuqina: Xiao Yuan, dragons are very lecherous, you know~

Flandre: When will big brother sleep with Flandre again?

Connor: Lady Thor invites Lord Yuan to visit her; you don't need to bring anything!

Zhou Yuan: Caw! You bunch of lunatics, stay away from me! I want pure love, not forced love!

Chapter 229 Jin Gu: I have a father now?

"Hey Mom, they're family, don't say anything yet!!"

"Aaaaa, Aaaaaaa——"

"Gurgle, gurgle...cough cough!!"

"Aaaaaaaaaa……?"

Swimming quickly to approach, trying to communicate with it, only to be thrown more than a hundred meters away by the waves stirred up by Tiamat's sound waves. This has happened countless times.

Although the "Voice of Heaven," the previous emotional exchange, and the sharing of memories have created a bridge for communication between them, allowing Luo Wei to awaken part of Tiamat's dormant consciousness and swim to her, they have not yet been able to communicate effectively.

Tiamat seemed to be too excited and happy, so when she saw that her child had actually come to visit her, she was like an empty nest mother who had been forgotten by her child who was working in another city for a long time. When she saw that Luo Wei had really come to find her, the joy she exuded was uncontrollable. No matter what Luo Wei wanted to say, it was always covered up by Tiamat's various "Aaaaa!!" in different tones, and then she was directly bounced away to who knows how far away.

Although his voice was quite pleasant and Luo Wei could endure swimming in the ocean for so long, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable or awkward after swallowing so much water from the Sea of ​​Life.

He used his own flesh to feed the eagle, like cutting off his own flesh, to fill the sea of ​​life with his own life and blood, and to purify the other's impulse to "return".

While it has indeed brought out much more humanity in Ti Ma, and her original maternal love has been gradually awakened, communication remains difficult due to her enthusiasm. Luo Wei vaguely understands what she's saying, but the meaning is roughly the same—

"Kid, you're here!"

"Son, have you eaten?"

"Son, you've lost weight."

"My child, come to Mommy quickly..."

Strange words like these, full of maternal love.

I'm definitely coming; you wouldn't allow me to leave even if I didn't come.

Have you eaten? Originally, no, but after drinking an unknown amount of the Sea of ​​Life, Luo Wei felt that he couldn't eat normal food for a while.

Because the food might be revived by the life-giving energy inside the stomach as soon as it enters.

As for losing weight? After swimming freestyle in the ocean for so long, even if you haven't mastered the explosive punch, it's definitely a form of fitness training. How could you not lose weight?

And although I really want to go to your place, but...

"Can you give me a chance first?!"

Looking at the black waves rushing towards him again, Luo Wei sighed helplessly, then swam towards them at an even faster speed. Compared to the situation at the beginning when he was about to be swept away by the waves, his current situation was clearly different.

His own regenerative abilities were already strong enough, and now, with his wounds constantly being soaked in the Sea of ​​Life, plus what he drank, his regenerative abilities have made a certain leap forward. Although it cannot compare to Tiamat's immortality, his physical body has indeed become stronger.

Similarly, during this time, his communication with Tiamat became closer, and he sensed more affection from her.

He had only one feeling—contradiction, so much contradiction, contradictions in every aspect.

Even Loewy couldn't quite understand this contradictory and complex emotion. Deep down, Tiamat wanted to kill all humanity on Earth, intending to return the world to its original state, yet she also desperately tried to prevent her own awakening and the world from being devoured. She resented and grieved over the children's betrayal, but also hoped they could break free from her constraints, grow up strong, and live happily ever after.

Guided and called by Goetia, Tiamat, as a human evil and the second beast, began to unleash the hidden impulses within her body. The most primal impulse was "Return"—to make Tiamat uncontrollably return to the earth, wanting to restart everything, to devour and transform all life in this world, turning it back into her child, returning to the origin, and starting a new cycle of creation. This was her instinct.

However, although instinct is hard to resist, her inner reason and maternal instinct still love her children, even if these children rebel against her, kill her, or even dismember her, she still loves these children and hopes to watch over them.

Even though she knew long ago that she was not recognized, needed, or accepted, and even though she was helpless, as a mother, there would inevitably come a day when she would let go.

"Goetia, you've done so many terrible things..."

After personally understanding everything, Loewe couldn't help but sigh.

Tiamat never thought of returning, not even when she was suffering or lonely. For her, the happiness of her children outweighed everything else in life.

However, the First Beast, Goetia, forcibly awakened the sleeping Tiamat through her own means and bewitched her child, making Kingu, who did not understand his mother's true intentions, believe that his mother wanted to return and take revenge on these treacherous humans, which led to all these tragedies.

It can be said that it was Goetia, who had committed countless evil deeds, who caused all this tragedy.

When I first played through the story, I was only focused on humanity's resolve and King Hassan and the C-rank Gigi's boastful antics. Even though I could vaguely sense that Tiamat was holding back, I still couldn't grasp the emotions and inner world she evoked. All I felt was fighting for Uruk's revenge, seeing her as a monster that had to be defeated. However, after personally experiencing Tiamat's life in the primordial ocean of life, I realized that there was no pure good or evil, only clashes between stances, factions, beliefs, and ideals. It's just that humanity currently lacks the capacity to accept this mother figure.

That dead pigeon has really created a huge problem for itself.

This is a test, a test, this test is way too much.

For Tiamat, salvation was not about putting her back down, but about letting her walk among humans again. But... was that really something she could do?

This is the Creator God! How could I possibly solve such a problem with my current level? I might as well give the Holy Spirit a try. As for the reshaping of the Primordial Mother, what right do I, the Holy Son, have to lay a hand on her?

Are we going to let her go out and walk around?

But that would be an irreversible disaster for all of humanity.

She is the second beast who loves humanity and destroys humanity, a mother who is misunderstood by everyone.

The gods have failed her; humanity is incapable of bearing her feelings and love.

Just as a child who has made a mistake and betrayed his mother will inevitably feel pain and shame afterward, after sealing Tiamat, no god dared to use this method to open their heart and get close to this hurt mother. Therefore, they could not feel Tiamat's true feelings and love. As for humans, because the difference in their life levels was too great, they were completely unable to take the initiative to approach this mother.

He was brought here not just by Tiamat's guidance, but more by fate. It was meant to make him understand Tiamat's feelings, comprehend the truth, and then act from the bottom of his heart. After all, salvation is relative: saving humanity, saving his mother, saving the world, and understanding is the first step in that process.

"The wounds on my body have healed, and the Sea of ​​Life has not changed at all. It seems that I have reached my limit... This method can only achieve this effect."

The good news is that Tiamat is indeed much more lucid than before, and her behavior is more like that of a human than a monster. It seems that communication between them can be mutually transformative. At least she finally understands how uncomfortable it was to be tossed around by the waves. She's not some happy little sea tiger with no attachment to the ocean. And then—Tiamat is so cute!!

Okay, enough with the random thoughts. Now I should think about what I can do and how I should do it.

These are the most important things.

Lovi swam out of the sea. After soaking in the Sea of ​​Life for who knows how long, he felt much stronger. At the same time, he began to think about whether there was a way to truly save without killing. Tiamat, seeing that he was no longer approaching her, couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. She tilted her head to express her confusion.

The action is so cute, it's almost unfair...
