However, Luo Wei remained silent. Jingu, who was walking at the front, seemed to have guessed what the two were thinking and suddenly turned around with his signature smile on his face.

Then she addressed the two of them, saying, "Are you wondering why we are getting further and further away from Uruk? And why I am leading you in the opposite direction? If that's the case, then please don't worry."

Enkidu (Jingu) said, “Instead of just traversing the wilderness, there is a hidden river at the end of this forest, and there is an abandoned dock there. If we take a boat from there, we can reach Uruk more safely and faster.”

Anna fell silent upon hearing this: "..."

Luo Wei smiled without saying a word.

"—"

Jingu's expression was also somewhat strange.

They probably never imagined that one of them was a pretense of knowing all along, while the other clearly sensed that Gorgon was at the abandoned dock that Jinguhu had fabricated.

The two of them had been accompanying Jingu all the way, waiting for Merlin and Merlin to take a detour here to ambush her.

Moreover, even if we follow the normal world's development, Kingu would probably have tricked Mash and Gudako around this point, where they encountered Anna and Merlin.

only--

'Those two good-for-nothings have caused me trouble again.'

Lowe looked around but couldn't see a trace of Merlin and Meryl. This gave him a new understanding of those two always messing things up—they always managed to get things done...

"Love, what do you think?"

Anna tugged at her hood and asked Rowe's opinion again, her scythe already pointed at her target.

She's ready if it really comes to a fight.

If she really had to go with this guy to find Gorgon, she could accept it. After all, it was a rare opportunity to defeat Gorgon, and she had no reason to refuse.

"I see..."

Luo Wei stroked his chin and thought carefully for a moment.

If the fight were to break out here, he would be over 98% confident of defeating Kingu. However, the combined power of her Chains of Heaven and the Holy Grail is simply too great. Catching her in a normal battle would still be extremely difficult. He himself lacks a highly mobile Noble Phantasm, making it hard to catch up with her. Even if he were to follow her into the Blood Temple, he could fight his way in and out three times on his own. Furthermore, given Anna's advantage against Gorgon, Gorgon would be doomed the moment they met.

With their combined strength, they drove away Jingu, destroyed Gorgon, and shattered the Temple of Blood.

So, the problem is solved, right? Peace has returned to all of Mesopotamia, hasn't it?

But if things were really that simple, Gilgamesh wouldn't have engaged in a protracted war with the monsters; he could have simply used Ea to destroy the Blood Temple with several Heroic Spirits. The reason the events of the Seventh Singularity have become so complicated is all because of the slumbering Mother of Creation in the Imaginary Sea.

Humanity as it is today is not capable of dealing with the Mother of Creation.

Similarly, Tiamat has just sealed herself away. If the two of them were to destroy the Blood Temple at this time, and the power in Gorgon were to return to Tiamat, the return of human evil would be accelerated, and things would become truly serious.

Currently, the forces on the Mesopotamian plain have not yet been united, Gilgamesh's King's Cannon is probably still under preparation, the crucial Underworld has not been moved below Uruk, and it is unknown whether King Hassan has appeared in this world yet.

There are too many uncertainties involved. If Tiamat is awakened, the entire war will be lost.

Moreover—he hasn't found a way to save Tiamat yet, so their only option when facing Tiamat is to kill her.

Therefore, under no circumstances should the Gorgon die, lest human evil resurface at this time.

"..."

Luo Wei remained silent, and seeing that he didn't speak, Jingu smiled again and suggested, "Since there are no problems, please speed up your pace a bit. You've seen the situation on the Warcraft Front; this is no time to walk slowly. Let's hurry up and join the King of Heroes who holds the Holy Grail."

Anna also asked, "Shall we continue?"

Noticing that Luo Wei was hesitant, the two people in front of him and beside him were also waiting for his answer.

Now that things had come to this, Luo Wei knew he couldn't leave.

If Anna meets Gorgon, one of them will die.

Gorgon cannot die now, and Anna absolutely cannot die either, so even if we don't capture Kingu today, we can't let things escalate to that point.

"Wait a minute..."

Luo Wei shook his head and stopped the two from moving forward. At this moment, Jingu and Anna's eyes were all focused on him.

Kingu feigned confusion and asked, "What's wrong, the last Master?"

Anna: "Love...do you have any other ideas?"

"Yes, probably some."

Luo Wei sighed, then looked at Jingu, whose eyes had changed, and asked, "Can Enkidu come with me for a moment? I have something I want to say to you privately."

"me?"

"Ah."

"I see... Although time is tight, it's obvious that Master has something important to tell me."

Seeing Luo Wei's expression, Jingu sighed, then walked to Luo Wei's side and said with a smile, "In that case, there's no other way. Let's go together. I also have some things to confirm with you first."

“I’m going too…” Anna wanted to go with her.

"No, Anna, you can wait for me here."

After gently shaking his head to decline Anna's suggestion, Rowe and Kingu walked happily into the woods on the other side, both smiling at each other.

Although this development was somewhat unexpected, if we really get to her base, then we'll probably have to go into the boss battle today.

So even though he was incredibly conflicted, Rowe decided to have a serious talk with this guy. After all, Tiamat said she had told her children not to continue harming humans, and Kingu was a well-known good boy, so Rowe thought she might be able to cooperate. Even if she didn't cooperate, it wouldn't cause too much trouble. After all, while he couldn't really deal with Tiamat, Kingu alone wouldn't cause much of a stir.

As for Anna...

Her mission is to destroy the Gorgons. If she knew that destroying the Gorgons would bring about an even more terrifying calamity in the world, she might be caught in a dilemma and suffer. So it's better not to let her know.

Before leaving, Rowe conveyed some information to Anna with his hands behind his back.

[You wait for me here, and on the way, wait for Merlin, and those two good-for-nothings, Meryl. They can come find me when they arrive.]

After exchanging some information, the two believed that the other fully understood their intentions and nodded in tacit agreement.

Meanwhile, Anna stared in the direction of Rowe, activating her senses to the maximum, and began to listen intently to what was happening on Rowe's side.

After that, Luo Wei followed behind Jingu without exchanging a single word, then suddenly—

Splash!

"Um?!"

Seemingly confirming that this place could block Anna's detection, Kingu raised his right hand without any warning. Chains suddenly appeared from under her feet and from her sleeves, instantly binding Rowe to the tree trunk. There was no time for him to dodge or resist. The Chains of Heaven emitted a blinding light.

“You do indeed possess a considerable amount of divinity, but it is different from what I expected—you clearly carry the scent of your mother.”

Upon arriving here, Kingu completely abandoned Enkidu's disguise, his original green eyes turning purple as he stared intently at Lovi, who was trapped in the tree.

"Are you not even going to keep up the act anymore? I was even thinking about how to continue playing along with you... I thought you would keep it a secret until the very end."

Luo Wei showed no panic, but simply smiled slightly at the furious Jingu in front of him, and then spoke.

"What are you hiding? What happened just now was just a game I played for fun. Or rather, I knew it was all meaningless the moment I saw you. A Master from Chaldea? I'm pretty sure you're not a Master from Chaldea."

"Aren't you curious why I keep playing role-playing games with you?"

Luo Wei looked into Jingu's purple eyes and asked a question, completely disregarding the fact that his body was now bound by chains and completely unable to move.

Because of being in the state of a godlike being, weapons like the Chains of Heaven are quite troublesome.

So divinity really is a debuff?

"Amusement? Fun? Fooling? I don't care about those boring trifles. Now tell me—why do you smell like your mother?!"

"The scent of mother, you really mean the scent of cologne?" Luo Wei pondered for a moment, then said with a straight face, "I knew you and I had similar tastes."

Tiamat is the oldest dragon mother, and as a dragon, she is even more ancient and powerful than Albion. The scent on her body must be that of an ancient dragon. However, Kingu thought that this statement was just Rowe making fun of her.

"Don't change the subject, tell me right now, who exactly are you—!?"

Om-! !

Seeing Luo Wei's completely oblivious behavior, Jingu's face turned extremely gloomy. Then, one of her outstretched hands was bound by chains, which quickly transformed into a huge golden drill, which she plunged towards Luo Wei's waist without hesitation.

From this alone, Luo Wei could sense that there was a lot of personal grudge involved.

But in the next instant, a crimson third hand, which had always been hidden in the unknown area, suddenly emerged from the right arm, firmly grasped the golden drill bit that Jingu had brought over, and emitted bursts of magical energy colliding and then disappearing in the ear.

"This magic! You were the one who slaughtered the magical beasts before! You're definitely not as simple as you seem—!"

Jin Gu looked at Luo Wei, who was still able to unleash such power even though he was bound to the tree by the Chains of Heaven, and her eyes were extremely gloomy. After learning that this guy was not only related to her mother, but also had disrupted her plans, the anger in her eyes intensified.

All the changes that have happened so far are indeed because of this guy in front of us.

"What exactly are you? A child of the mother? A creation of the mother? Or a part of the mother?!"

Jingu stared at Luo Wei and roared.

The mother she was referring to was naturally Tiamat.

If it were Lovi who had been touched by Tiamat's aura, she wouldn't have been so agitated, thinking that the other party was nothing more than a mother's new creation, a new child, that is, her own brother.

But, but, but—

"From the moment we met, I sensed your strong maternal aura, but that's not what angers me the most. The main point is—why does my mother also have your aura? What did you do to my mother without my knowledge?!"

As Jin Gu roared and shouted, she increased her magical output, and the few golden lights gathered in her hand became even stronger. However, at the same time, her holy crimson right hand also increased its power, preventing her attack from advancing an inch.

'After all, the Chains of Heaven bind those who resemble gods; what does that have to do with my Right of the Holy One?'

"Are you a child who lacks love? You keep calling her 'mother,' just how much do you crave maternal love?!"

Even Luo Wei was getting angry as she continued her erratic behavior.

“You don’t understand at all! I am my mother’s child, I am her most perfect creation, I am her most proud child! I must wipe out all the inferior humans on this earth for her sake! I must atone for her sins against all the gods and humans who have betrayed her!”

Jingu continued his hysterical roar, his fury so intense that even his spittle flew directly onto Luo Wei's face.

At this moment, Luo Wei knew that it was almost impossible to have a proper conversation with this guy. This guy was too obsessed, to the point that he couldn't listen to human speech.

"As her child, do you really understand Tiamat?"

Seeing Jin Gu's angry expression, Luo Wei couldn't help but ask a question.

"Of course! No one in this world understands Mother better than I do! She is a deity more noble, more cruel, and more merciful than any other life in this world. She is the origin of everything, she is the mother of all things, and she should rightfully rule over everything on earth—but why? Why does she regard those inferior humans as her children? Why does she stop me from harming those humans? Why is she even more unwilling to eliminate your aura! What have you done to Mother!?"

"The answer is simple. Because you don't understand Tiamat at all, you just blindly worship her, just like some fallen people who blindly worship the Holy Spirit. What you worship is never the person herself, but the image in your hearts."

Lowe replied coldly, "Do you really love Tiamat?"

"Stop joking! You newcomer, you who deceived and misled Mother, what right do you have to say that? Mother is high above and lonely. I am enough for her. She doesn't need an outsider like you to rely on!"
