I really didn't want to burn it.

Koyanskaya waved happily to Ritsuka and the others, as if she had just seen them.

"Senior, step back!"

Mashu immediately stood in front of Ritsuka, shield in hand.

In Little Eggplant's eyes, Secretary Fox was an absolute villain, the kind whose feet were oozing pus.

Koyanskaya tilted her head and smiled, "Don't treat her like an enemy~ She shares your stance on hating these aesthetically unappealing people."

This was indeed Koyanskaya's true feeling; she disliked humans, but she disliked these Rakhmu who only had negative emotions even more.

This is also why Koyanskaya would take action against Rakhmu.

But if she really wanted to say something, Koyanskaya preferred those beasts that only obeyed her commands and lacked self-awareness.

To put it bluntly, Koyanskaya dislikes neither humans nor Rakhmu, but she dislikes Rakhmu more.

"So you don't need to worry about them at all, just hurry up and rescue them."

Koyanskaya covered half of her face with her folding fan and offered her suggestion with a smile.

"What nonsense are you spouting? What are you trying to do here, woman?!"

Mashu threw her shield at Koyanskaya, but Koyanskaya easily stepped on it with her high heels.

"I've already told you, your most important opponents right now are those monsters," Koyanskaya said with a smirk. "If we don't hurry, they'll wipe out all of humanity!"

The next second, a red light flashed past the spot where Koyanskaya had been, attempting to cut off the secretary fox's tail.

Fortunately, Koyanskaya reacted quickly and dodged the attack with a single dodge.

"That was close! That was close! You little maid, you're too dangerous!" Koyanskaya said with displeasure.

"Tsk."

DD looked very unhappy, probably because he hadn't even managed to cut a single fox hair.

"Miss Gao."

"His surname isn't Gao anymore!"

"Goyanskaya complained angrily."

But DD completely ignored her words; the maid's expression didn't change at all, and she didn't even exchange a few polite words.

"Can you tell me, Miss Gao, why are you here? I remember the master sent you to the northern fortress, didn't he?" DD asked calmly, her gaze undisguisedly scrutinizing.

"They just wanted to come and take a look." Koyanskaya smiled innocently. "They were very interested in the new humans that Kingu was looking for, but who knew they would turn out to be such perverts."

With that, Koyanskaya slowly turned around, looking as if the garlic spirit was about to leave.

Snapped!

DD grabbed Koyanskaya's wrist.

"Miss Gao."

DD narrowed his eyes.

"I think the right thing to do at this time is not to wander around aimlessly, right?"

Koyanskaya lowered her eyes without saying a word.

From an angle that DD couldn't see, Secretary Fox revealed a mocking expression.

"They actually dared to keep an eye on me? They really have no sense of mortality."

Koyanskaya believed that DD had acted on his own initiative in monitoring her. Knowing her true identity, Leon would never allow his beloved maid to get close to such a dangerous individual as himself.

"I just don't know if it's out of distrust of me, or simply jealousy?"

While Koyanskaya was secretly observing DD, she still pretended to be a vulnerable person on the surface.

"I have a feeling that you're being too harsh on her, Miss DD..."

"Oh, really?"

DD smiled coldly.

She always felt that this female fox had some improper thoughts about her master, not the kind of romantic feelings, but something deeper, a desire to control Li Ang.

As a loyal, considerate, and capable maid, DD believes she has a duty to nip any potential threats in the bud.

Unfortunately, DD, who had never witnessed Koyanskaya's true strength, misjudged this sly fox, assuming that her strength was about the same as his own.

If Li Ang knew that his little maid dared to do this, he would be scared out of his wits.

"Oh dear, I'm just a weak woman, how could I possibly have any ill intentions towards the Grand Preceptor?" Koyanskaya said meekly. "I'm just using the Grand Preceptor's name to intimidate him."

Despite DD gripping her wrist, Koyanskaya maintained a slightly fearful expression. But Secretary Fox remained completely unmoved, even wanting to laugh a little.

DD continued to scrutinize Koyanskaya, neither releasing her nor drawing her sword.

Just when the two were at an impasse—

"Hey, you two little lovers! What are you still doing here? Get on the boat right now! Mother's coming!"

An old but energetic voice, with a hint of recklessness, rang out.

The old man, Eya, leaning on his cane, passed the two beautiful women at an incredible speed for an elderly person and headed towards the Uruk Palace.

"What are you two doing standing here? This isn't the time to compete for favor, is it?" Seeing that DD and Koyanskaya were unmoved, Ea urged them quickly. "Fine, if you're not afraid of dying, then stay here. I need to get on the ship quickly, or I'm doomed."

With that, Ea walked away without looking back.

"Grandpa, watch out!"

Mashu exclaimed in surprise to Aya.

Because in her eyes, two Rahmu were charging toward Eya in a flanking formation.

“Eya! Eya! ■■■!”*2

"Holy crap! My God!"

When Eya heard the two Rahmu calling his name, he was terrified.

Bah!

Eya knocked a Rahmu flying with his cane.

Then he swung his cane back and stabbed it into the mouth of the other Rahmu—

Boom!

The second Rahmu's head was pierced through.

"Oh my god! My mother really wants me dead! Get out of here, get out of here! She's terrifying!"

To Mashu's astonishment, Aya kept saying "How terrifying!" but her feet moved swiftly, heading towards the palace.

During this time, many Rahmu tried to confront him, but he defeated them all with a single swing of his cane.

"With his skills, he'll be perfectly fine... won't he?"

After Aya had walked away, Mash slowly uttered a few words.

"Who knows? I guess he was scared out of his wits by someone."

DD pursed his lips.

The maid originally wanted to ask that cowardly old man where his master's cow had gone.

As it turned out, the old man ran too fast and disappeared in a flash.

All I can say is that this old thing is ostensibly a creator god, but he's put all his talent points into surviving.

"How embarrassing... Sigh, I wonder if things are going well with Master?"

DD looked north with concern.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Uruk, the northern fortress.

Li Ang let out a long breath and casually tossed the unconscious Jingu aside.

The latter was covered in wounds, and if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would probably have been mistaken for a corpse.

"Seriously, this guy is pushing himself too hard. Is it really necessary to be so persistent? If we had known, we should have just left him to the Rahmu guys according to the original storyline."

Li Ang patted his blood-stained hands, muttering a complaint under his breath.

However, despite his complaints, Li Ang would not actually do that.

It's not that he likes the character of Kingu or has any special affection for him. It's simply that Leon doesn't want, and doesn't wish for, Tiamat to obtain the Holy Grail.

Therefore, Li Ang had no choice but to perform the Grail removal surgery on Jingu himself.

"Well, at least I got the stuff."

Li Ang flicked his wrist, wiping the blood off the golden Holy Grail.

"Now, I will free you."

Just as Li Ang was about to deliver the final blow to Jin Gu, a large amount of black, viscous substance suddenly gushed out from the unconscious Jin Gu's body.

In the blink of an eye, half of Jingu's body was covered by these things.

Jingu turned his head toward Li Ang, his eyes fixed intently on him.

"Ut...Nabistim?"

Jin Gu spoke in a broken, intermittent voice.

Chapter 230 This is Sparta!

Uruk, offshore.

About half an hour ago, a huge creature emerged from the sea.

That might not be entirely accurate, because she was a beautiful woman with long, silver-blue hair, a curvaceous figure, and sexy clothing.

Of course, this is on the premise that we ignore the fact that the other party is as big as Godzilla.

Compared to her enormous size, the woman's devilishly curved ram horns and abnormal X-shaped pupils were secondary.

This woman is Tiamat, the goddess that Leon and Gilgamesh have always been wary of, and also the "mother" that the immortal Ea longs for.

However, Tiamat had not yet shown her extremely violent side at this time. She simply put her hands together in front of her chest, looking like a bound prisoner or a nun praying silently.

The sounds she made, such as "Aaaa————", gave the illusion that she was singing a hymn.

"Mother... has really woken up."

High above the coast of Uruk, Ishtar, atop the celestial vessel Maana, scrutinized Tiamat, who was suspended in the sea, with a grave expression.

Entrusted by Leon to monitor the ocean, she was the first to confirm the appearance of Tima, but faced with the "mother's" terrifying aura, Ishtar could only stare blankly.

Tiamat had actually noticed Ishtar long ago. Although Ishtar's divine power and magic were insignificant compared to her own, they were quite striking compared to ordinary humans.

But she took no action against Ishtar; perhaps in the heart of this "mother," these ordinary gods were simply not worth mentioning.

"Aaaaa—"

A beautiful song sang from Tiamat's mouth, and this heavenly sound spread outwards from Tiamat herself.

"What, what? Is Mother going to attack?"

Ishtar frantically clung to her celestial vessel. She was torn between fighting or fleeing should Tiamat launch an attack.

That damned Leon only assigned me the task of monitoring the sea, but didn't tell me what to do after Tiamat came out.

However, Ishtar soon realized she was overthinking things. Tiamat wasn't launching an attack; instead, she was using her song to guide and manipulate the black mud beneath her feet.

"What...is this doing?"

To Ishtar's astonishment, the black mud surged and churned as if it were alive.

"Aaaaa—"

Gradually, Ishtar discovered that the moving black mud was slowly coalescing into a human shape in front of Tiamat...

Meanwhile, Li Ang, who was in the northern fortress, discovered that Jin Gu, whose upper body was covered in black mud, actually stood up unsteadily.
