The Warrior of Love

Then, the thousand-meter-long blood-red body suspended in the air suddenly shattered like a building that had lost its support. Billions of tons of seawater poured down, setting off wave after wave of huge waves that submerged the world...

Ritsuka, Mashu, Gilgamesh, Merlin, Athena... everyone stared at this scene in a daze. With their keen intuition, they had realized that something was coming to an end, and they suddenly felt relieved.

However, the changes happened so quickly that everyone was surrounded by a huge sense of emptiness and astonishment.

[Tiamat... Beast's spirit base has been confirmed to have disappeared. ]

Roman's voice sounded again, bringing everyone back to reality.

[We succeeded... Yeah, we succeeded! ]

Ritsuka nodded subconsciously, then suddenly remembered something and looked towards the empty sea for someone.

Then she and the goddess Athena, who was also subconsciously looking for Jiang Liu, saw that scene almost at the same time -

In the sea of ​​blood that was emitting countless light particles and was gradually disappearing, a towering giant figure was half-kneeling on the ground with a sharp axe in his hand, maintaining a motionless posture.

And under the giant, two figures were leaning against each other on the sea.

Jiang Liu was half naked, holding a sleeping blue-haired girl in his arms. The girl looked no more than eleven or twelve years old. She was wearing Jiang Liu's shirt, revealing her fair arms and a pair of cute small horns as transparent as crystal.

Chapter 654: Not a mother but a daughter

"What exactly is going on?"

After leaving the underworld, they returned to Uruk, of which only about one-third remained. Miraculously, a part of Gilgamesh's palace had been preserved. Everyone gathered on the balcony and couldn't help but look behind Jiang Liu.

Ritsuka asked bluntly, "Although I have a lot to say, could you explain this... this little girl's matter?"

"Woo..."

Realizing that everyone was staring at her, the little girl, who looked like the human-like Tiamat but much more childish, showed a shy expression and hid herself behind Jiang Liu, leaving only a pair of eyes showing as she timidly observed everyone.

This little girl standing barefoot on the floor was only wearing Jiang Liu's top, and her dragon horns had become much smaller, so they could be seen as strange headdresses. Her overall image was very different from before, but the shadow of the goddess of creation could still be seen.

However, seeing her reaction, everyone began to doubt their own judgment.

After all, this soft and cute appearance is very different from the previous charming plump goddess and the ferocious dragon body...

"So, so cute!" Mashu's cheeks flushed, and she crossed her arms over her chest. "She looks as cute as Fufu!"

"Fu?!"

The little white beast exclaimed, and began to stare at the little girl vigilantly, as if declaring that its position could not be challenged.

The wise king, Ishtar, and Ereshkigal, who was observing the outside world through a stone mirror, looked at the little girl with mixed feelings.

Siduri, who had been holding out here until the tide of chaos receded and Gilgamesh returned to Uruk, should have been very excited, but she remained silent at this moment.

Merlin blinked, looked at the little girl, and suddenly showed a very friendly smile. He approached, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to the little girl.

"Come and say hello first, big brother, my name is Merlin, and I'm a magician--"

"Humph!"

The flower magician's big hand was about to touch the little girl, but she turned her head away as if she was upset and avoided Merlin's touch.

"Ah, ah, it looks like it's not that easy to approach." Merlin froze for a moment, then stood up helplessly after failing to build a relationship.

"Jiang Liujun, how did you do it? This... no matter how you look at it, it must be that goddess, right? Is it really okay to keep her in this world?"

"Well, it should be fine."

Jiang Liu had already changed into a new set of clothes, also designed by Athena. The white knight's suit had red stripes on it, making him look elegant and decent.

Although it is the main body and not the spiritual base, now that the singularity is about to be repaired, the inhibitory force will no longer care about him.

He also reached out and touched the little girl's head. Unlike Merlin, the little girl did not dodge. Instead, she closed her eyes and seemed to be enjoying it.

"Um..."

"She is Tiamat, you should be able to tell that, but don't worry, she is no longer a threat."

To Ritsuka and the others who looked inquiring, Jiang Liu explained slowly while ruffling Tiamat's hair.

"Although she is Tiamat, as you can see, she is not complete."

"Um……"

Ritsuka nodded his head up and down, observing the little girl carefully, and spoke thoughtfully.

"Indeed, the breasts are more than a little smaller."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Jiang Liu's eyes twitched, and he continued to explain: "Strictly speaking, the goddess Tiamat, who is the "Beast" and the mother of all things, has been destroyed by us... But you should also know that even the gods cannot really kill Tiamat. We only destroyed her spiritual base."

After saying that, he dodged and pushed the little girl out: "This is her new spiritual base. When the original spiritual base was destroyed, her consciousness was transferred into it. But it may be a side effect, or it may be affected by the new body... Her thinking may be more immature."

"Servant...?"

Li Xiang could vaguely understand what this meant: "Her original spiritual base was destroyed, her body is still sleeping in the original place (the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers), and her consciousness has a new spiritual base, so that she can move in the real world... just like the relationship between "Heroic Spirit" and "Servant"? "

"You can understand it that way." Jiang Liu smiled slightly.

"There won't be any trouble, right?"

Although the little girl didn't look like a dangerous person at all, Ritsuka, who had seen how terrifying her true appearance was, couldn't help but let his throat move up and down.

"What if... you know, what should I do if I change back to my original form?"

"No, you think that natural disaster is too simple. Do you think it's easy to summon such a thing?"

Jiang Liu shook his head: "The concept alone cannot pose a threat. Without a suitable container, even Tiamat cannot exert its power.

Moreover, she originally had no ill will towards humans, she just wanted to protect herself out of instinct. And after returning to this world, she could no longer control her actions.

In fact, let alone destroying humanity, Tiamat has even been trying to seal her own power in order to protect her children."

This is not an empty statement. Tiamat has never shown her full power in this singularity.

——【Self-Seal C+++】

These are the chains that bind Tiamat.

Although Tiamat was exiled for the reason that "she is no longer needed", and thus developed hatred and indignation towards humans, deep down she still loves humans and believes that this is also the decision of fate and that there is "nothing that can be done about it".

The root of this is that as a "mother", she has the desire to protect humans.

When this desire reaches its extreme and becomes a physical entity, it is called "self-sealing".

Under the influence of this skill, Tiamat is actually always in a weak state, otherwise the difficulty of the war to eliminate human evil will increase tenfold!

“It can be said that her threat to humans was never her intention from the beginning to the end. It was simply due to her instinct to create life.

Now that she has separated from the spirit base of the "beast", she no longer has the power to reset the earth's ecology. In addition, her spirit base has been replaced, her instincts have been weakened a lot, and her consciousness has become clearer...

Figuratively speaking, it is like a cannonball without the explosives."

Jiang Liu stroked his chin and thought for a while, then continued to speak to the people who still couldn't let it go.

"Besides, I also added insurance."

"Insurance?"

"I created her spiritual foundation, so there's no need to worry about her suddenly 'growing up' or anything like that."

"Made?" Merlin's eyes widened. "How did you do that? This is the consciousness of the Mother of All Things. Not every spiritual base can bear it!"

"Well... ha, I say spiritual, but actually she is now a 'flesh and blood body'. I call her spiritual just to make it easier for you to understand."

Jiang Liu explained: "I have an ability that can create magical beasts... It is similar to Tiamat and Gorgon, but it is fundamentally different. Well, I used this ability to create her current body."

[Birth of a Hundred Beasts Incarnation], as long as you have the relevant physical information, you can consume the magic power to create followers.

Jiang Liu had hardly ever used this power, and he didn't expect it to come in handy here.

"Oh, that's it."

Merlin nodded. "This ability... although rare, it's not incredible. For example, Queen Maeve of Celtic had a similar ability to create soldiers with just a drop of blood.

Haha, come on, you are a giant and a creator, you really have a lot of strange abilities."

"This giant Adam was created by Avisbronn and me." Jiang Liu suddenly remembered a puppet master who stayed in Lagash. He didn't know how many refugees from Uruk that person had taken in during this period.

Now that the end of the world has passed and the singularity has been repaired, it will naturally be easier to continue the more survivors there are.

“But there is still one question that remains unanswered.”

Merlin asked in confusion: "A body that was created directly can actually contain Tiamat's consciousness... Is the compatibility so good?"

"Of course the body is specially made."

Jiang Liu nodded: "This skill of mine also requires magic power and genetic factors... In order to improve the compatibility, I used Tiamat's blood, but in order to prevent her from growing into the original spirit base in the future, I mixed my own blood into it."

"Your blood?"

Now not only Merlin, but everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Yes, after all, I have some fate with this goddess before, so we are quite compatible."

Jiang Liu had no intention of hiding anything, he even laughed and pulled the little girl against him affectionately.

"So in a sense...she is the 'daughter' of me and the god (beast) Tiamat."

Everyone: "..."

Ritsuka: “Is that so? Ahahaha…”

The black-haired girl, who was slightly mentally broken, came to the little girl, squatted down, and tried to put on a friendly smile.

"Hello, I'm mom!"

"Um, Mom?"

"Hey!"

Jiang Liu frowned and said, "Don't teach the child nonsense, is it Auntie?"

Chapter 655: Hug her more

After everyone said a brief farewell, the heroic spirits were sent back one after another. Siegfried and Georgios also returned to Chaldea. Aside from Gilgamesh and the others who had already lived in this era, only a few people such as Dulixiang remained.

This singularity finally began to collapse bit by bit under the self-healing power of the times.

The destroyed cities, ravaged farmlands, polluted seas, burned temples...all gradually disappeared in the flying spiritual light.

The land that was devastated in the final battle will be reborn from the ashes, reset to a blank state, and then reproduce the appearance of this era.

Everything will return to how it was before... except for those who died.

Jiang Liu couldn't stay here for too long. His spiritual foundation had been completely shattered, and his body's movements were restricted. During the process of repairing the singularity, he could clearly feel that the era itself had a great rejection of him as an "alien".

If we can't leave before the singularity returns to its original place, the restraining force will probably come to drive us away... Although Jiang Liu is not afraid of this.

But before leaving, he still had something to explain to Ritsuka and the others.

"Now that all singularities have been repaired, I'm afraid you will soon face your final enemy... King Solomon."

Jiang Liu paused for a moment, then continued, "Be prepared. This battle will be more difficult than all the singularities you've experienced before. To be honest, you don't stand a chance of winning with your current strength."

"Well, I'll be careful."

Lixiang didn't feel that Jiang Liu was trying to undermine her confidence. She knew that her brother was just telling the truth.

"But we can't avoid this battle, not just to save the world, but also for the people who have sacrificed their lives to help us along the way. We must never give up!"

"And we have to protect our home too." Jiang Liu smiled and comforted Li Xiang, "In the future, when everything is over, we can go back... I believe that day will come."

"I believe it too!" Li Xiang tightly held Jiang Liu's hand, "When we go home, neither you nor I can be left behind!"

I always feel like I have set a bad flag... Jiang Liu shook his head and threw away the distracting thoughts.

"But there's no need for you to act so arrogant. Even if you are the Master, you are still just an ordinary girl, um."

After saying this, Jiang Liu suddenly remembered that before the Renli Burning, he was still a high school student enjoying his youth... He felt inexplicably that the world had changed so much.

“In short, your own strength is limited. It is also important not to fight alone at critical moments and learn to rely on others.

At least, I will always be by your side, and I will be there for you whenever you need me, no matter how far away I am."

"elder brother……"

Lixiang's eyes were a little moist, and her body slowly leaned forward. She raised her head slightly and opened her lips slightly, involuntarily approaching Jiang Liu——
