I really didn't want to burn it.

For Li Ang, who always had to use runes before launching an attack, this ability is a huge improvement.

As for the other skill, "Grow Larger," it allows Li Ang to overcome the size difference when dealing with gigantic enemies.

If Li Ang had acquired this skill before taming the Bull of Heaven, capturing that bull wouldn't have been so difficult.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if my mom will fall for me at first sight after I grow up. What if she wants to marry me?"

[Host, regarding sleep talking, this system suggests you wait until you're fully awake before discussing it.]

The complaints about the commotion system always come at just the right time.

"Of course I know."

Li Ang pursed his lips.

[The preliminary preparations are basically complete; all that's missing is Marduk's axe and a certain older sister joining the fray.]

The pop-up message from the condolence system revealed a sleazy and lewd tone.

[How about it, host? Are you interested in adding a South American deity to your harem?]

"Not at all. Let's leave that one-year-old to Ritsuka."

Li Ang resisted the temptation of the mourning system very well.

Don't let Quetzalcoatl's innocent appearance fool you; she's not someone you can easily win over.

It's not that conquering her is difficult, but rather that conquering her depends too much on her attributes.

To recruit Laquézaire Koyatl, one must either defeat her honorably or possess some quality that she approves of.

Both of these points are somewhat difficult for Li Ang.

Defeating that older sister would be incredibly easy; Li Ang could even crush her. But that would be due to his class advantage [Savior] and the rune system.

If the two of them were to engage in hand-to-hand combat under equal conditions, Li Ang estimated that his spine would be broken.

As for character...

Li Ang was self-aware enough to know that the other party wasn't love-struck and was a powerful figure who didn't need his assistance. Relying solely on his looks and personality to win over that older woman would take too long and wasn't worthwhile.

Looking at it this way, it would be perfect to have Ritsuka deal with Quetzalcoatl. Her innocent personality is just the perfect fit for Quetzalcoatl.

"I hope Ritsuka doesn't get completely taken advantage of by that older sister, or Mash will be heartbroken."

Li Ang remarked with these words.

"Isn't it you, Master, who is heartbroken?"

DD came in carrying a breakfast consisting of soup and flatbread.

"Hmm... I can only feel sorry that such an innocent little white rabbit has fallen into the hands of an older sister."

Li Ang mumbled his reply while biting into a flatbread.

"Oh, really?"

DD put the soup on the table and sat down on the edge of the bed, pressing himself against Li Ang.

"Um... Miss DD, what are you going to do?"

Li Ang glanced at her.

"Master, isn't this what you were thinking just now?"

DD chuckled and rubbed against the man with her body.

"Master, what would you do if I took off your pants now?"

DD murmured as he stroked Li Ang's thigh.

Li Ang rolled his eyes: "I'm eating right now."

"This isn't just an excuse, is it?" DD gave a disdainful smile. "Master can't last one night?"

Li Ang glared at her. Was her A+ stamina a joke?

"Are you kidding me, girl?"

"If you answer correctly, there is no reward."

DD got up and left the room without looking back.

"Master, this is your revenge for messing with me this morning~"

Hearing the silvery laughter coming from outside the door, Li Ang didn't know what to say.

"Tonight I'm definitely going to put her on the bed and spank her!"

Li Ang angrily took a bite of the pancake.

[Stop being stubborn, host, you can't bear to part with it.]

"Shut up!"

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

When Li Ang finished breakfast and arrived at the temple where Gorgon was located, he happened to see his secretary, Miss Fox, also having breakfast.

However, unlike Li Ang's simple soup and flatbread, Koyanskaya's breakfast was exceptionally luxurious.

He had no idea where the woman got her hands on those modern tables, chairs, and tableware; she'd arranged them quite professionally. If he ignored the surrounding primeval forest, Li Ang would have thought it was a Western restaurant.

"You've arrived, Grand Preceptor."

Koyanskaya skillfully cut off a piece of steak and elegantly put it into her mouth.

Li Ang's eye twitched slightly. He wasn't the kind of person who indulged in luxury and enjoyment, and he ate the soup dumplings for breakfast quite happily.

But compared to that sly fox, he still felt a little tempted.

"Who eats this first thing in the morning?!" Li Ang sat down opposite Koyanskaya and complained.

Yes, that's it.

Koyanskaya proudly raised her pointed little nose, exuding a haughty sense of pride.

"My maid is teasing me, and you're going to play this game too?" Li Ang glared fiercely at Koyanskaya. "This is infuriating!"

"They're carnivores, so of course they have to eat meat in the morning."

"Since you're an animal, go back to eating raw meat and drinking blood! You're just a mere secretary, eating so well, don't be so arrogant!"

Li Ang snatched a crab from his secretary, Miss Fox's, plate, tore off a crab leg, and started sucking on it.

Mmm, as expected of a completely natural crab, it tastes so sweet.

"It would be even better if there was vinegar."

"Your Excellency, you should be content. They haven't even asked you for money yet."

"What money? What money do you want?" Li Ang displayed his rogue-like behavior. "I haven't even asked you for the money you gave me for bringing me here."

"Never mind, they can't possibly eat that much anyway."

Koyanskaya showed her little canine teeth and smiled happily.

"However, one is obligated to those who offer food and gifts. Your Excellency, they have shared their breakfast with you, so you'll have to lend a hand later."

"Hmm, what are you going to do?"

Li Ang, who was gnawing on a crab leg, glanced at Koyanskaya.

"Hehe, didn't you hear what Jingu said? Today we're going to take over the northern fortress."

Chapter 222 Li Ang: Gilgamesh, you bastard, come out here!

Uruk, the northern bulwark.

As the battle lines intensify, this area, which was originally just a central hub for the transport of supplies along the city walls, has grown into the size of a city.

Developing to this scale has both advantages and disadvantages for Uruk. The advantage is that such a large material distribution center can ensure the transportation of materials and the allocation of strategic resources along the entire city wall front.

The downside is also obvious: it makes you a target.

If this place can be destroyed, Gilgamesh's carefully constructed battle line will likely suffer heavy losses.

As the only pillar goddess in the [Three Goddess Alliance] who is determined to destroy humanity, Gorgon naturally covets the northern fortress.

“We must destroy that fortress today.” Gorgon looked at Leon beside him. “Jingu asked you to take his place. Can you handle it?”

Well... I'll do my best.

Li Ang flicked the corner of his eye with his finger and replied nonchalantly.

"Hmph! Smooth talker!"

Gorgon pressed a snake's hair close to Leon's cheek; he could even feel the warmth of the snake's breath.

"If you can't do it, I'll turn you into a monster!"

Gorgon gave a warning and twisted his half-snake body as he crawled toward the front of the battle line.

Li Ang gently rubbed his cheek and muttered to himself, "Tentacles, modifications... Thank goodness I'm not a magical girl, or it would be too much."

[However, host, you can transform into a giant, and you also have the nickname of the strongest Servant...]

"Don't talk nonsense! I didn't! Don't make up any settings for me!"

Li Ang denied it three times in a row, then threw out the pop-up window of the mourning system.

How could he not be aware of the sinister intentions of the mourning system?

Modified by tentacles, the strongest, a giant... This damn funeral system isn't trying to recreate the [Corrupted Max] scene from Galaxy Fight 2, so Li Ang decided to use the funeral system's pop-ups as a drinking companion!

Koyanskaya, standing to the side, laughed gleefully: "Oh dear, you've been targeted by the faction leader, Grand Preceptor, you're in trouble now."

Li Ang rolled his eyes at the sly fox.

This guy used the excuse that he was just a collaborator to refuse Gorgon's request for her to help.

When Koyanskaya noticed that Leon was staring at her, she pretended to be shy and said, "Grand Preceptor, please don't look at me like that. I'm just a merchant and I'm not good at fighting."

"Hehe, I know a scientist who said something similar."

Li Ang immediately thought of a certain chief toy designer residing in the Land of Light.

However, Li Ang was genuinely envious of his secretary, Miss Fox, who could slack off without putting in any effort, and who could openly do so.

Li Guoshi is no longer capable. Jin Gu summoned him to replenish the fighting force, so how could he not take action?

"Master, you can go without worry. Leave this to me."

DD gave Li Ang a reassuring look and stood behind Koyanskaya.

"This is a battlefield, so you should be careful."

Li Ang said this with a pointed remark.

He had given his little maid a lot of things to protect her life, so even if Koyanskaya attacked without any sense of martial ethics, she could definitely save her life.

only……

"May you rest in peace, Your Excellency the Imperial Preceptor."

Looking at Secretary Fox, who was smiling and waving, Li Ang had the illusion of seeing his wife seeing him off to work.

"This is an illusion. This creature is a terrifying Beast that will destroy humanity. Don't be seduced by her."

Li Ang rubbed his neck and said, "Stop arguing. I just need to push down the city wall to complete the mission."

That being said, Li Ang did not intend to do so.

His goal was to slack off as much as possible on the battlefield, stalling until Ritsuka dealt with Quetzalcoatl.

According to the plan discussed by Leon and Gilgamesh, the only thing missing to defeat Tiamat is Marduk's battle axe and the powerful Quetzalcoatl.

Li Ang didn't intend to have Quetzalcoatl deal with Tiamat; he just needed to ensure that someone could hold off the annoying Rahmu while he fought Tiamat.

"Ritsuka should have already taken Mash to Eridu by now, right? Hopefully, Ritsuka can get Quetzalcoatl before the end of today."

If Ritsuka completes the mission, she can immediately turn against Gorgon and launch an attack, waking up Tiamat.

In Li Ang's understanding, Tiamat is currently in a deep infiltration game called "Uruk Strategy" through the account "Gorgon" while she is asleep.
