My mother's love song

……

……

……

As soon as he got below the sea surface, Rhodes immediately began to explore the whereabouts of the goddess Tiamat.

The scenery beneath the sea surface is constantly changing, and many creatures that obviously do not exist in modern times appear around.

But Rhodes was not interested in any of these. He had only one goal, which was to meet Tiamat as soon as possible.

As soon as Tianzhou entered the water, its speed dropped a lot.

Although the situation of other beasts is unknown, Rhodes, like Tiamat, is a beast with the nature of "sea".

So for him, diving is even more flexible than swimming on land.

So he took Maana in and began to swim towards where Tiamat was.

Rhodes was not good at detecting auras, but the target he was looking for this time was too huge.

He had already felt it, a magical power that was almost equivalent to that of the entire ocean.

I saw it.

A woman sleeping quietly on the seabed.

The "petite" body, which is totally disproportionate to the huge magical power, is wrapped in a ribbon of imaginary magic, and the light green mercury-colored hair ripples slightly with the tide.

Her slender and long arms were clasped in front of her chest, and her fair and plump body was like a pearl on the seabed.

As a goddess, she has a sleeping face that has the "beauty of embracing all rivers" unlike Ishtar/Inanna who have the "beauty of one person".

It was Tiamat that Rhodes was looking for.

However, she is no longer the [Tiamat, the Goddess of Creation] that Rhodes is familiar with and gave birth to him.

The pair of huge demonic horns on her head indicated that the goddess had followed in the footsteps of the child and had become the Beast Tiamat.

Rhodes landed beside the Mother Goddess and carefully took one of her hands.

Gazing at the peaceful sleeping face, a variety of emotions filled his chest.

Even if we temporarily put aside the long life of Beast VI which has become a part of himself, Tiamat is still the person who has accompanied the timer Rod for the longest time.

In the deep winter of early 1991, Rod gained true sanity after his encounter with Ai Ge.

From that day on, he was no longer a pure concept of evil, but possessed a human form and identity.

Rod left the modern world and entered the singularity in early 1995, a mere four years of his life.

In these short 4 years, there was a period of time unknown to anyone.

Rhodes was once dragged into a dream by Tiamat, and the mother and son lived together for 10 years of perceived time.

Although it was only a chapter with 4000 words, for Rhodes, the 10 years he spent living with Tiamat were the real "reality".

No matter what others said, Rhodes would not think it was an illusion.

That was the happy world that Tiamat created for him with all her motherly love, a world that even Beast VI could feel at peace with.

When the appointed time came, Rhodes recalled the outside world.

The red pill and the blue pill appeared in front of him.

If he chooses the red pill, Rod will leave the dream, leave his mother, and return to reality.

If he chooses the blue pill, happiness and beauty will continue and he will forget about the outside world.

Just as Rod was holding the blue one, she stopped him.

Although it was painful, Tiamat was still determined to let the child leave her and leave her alone in the cold deep sea.

When he was sent back to reality, what Rod felt was unrequited love.

"Mother... I'm back."

……

……

……

Now that we are here, we can't come for nothing.

Rhodes wanted to chat with Tiamat.

But the question is how to reach her?

Tiamat has returned to this world from the imaginary space, but she is still asleep.

On the one hand, it was because her power was not yet complete, and on the other hand, someone was interfering.

Caster Meili is a nightmare summoned to this era by King Gilgamesh.

Meli's true form now lurks in Tiamat's dreams.

As a hybrid of a human and a nightmare, Meili is one of the few magicians who can intervene in the collective unconsciousness constructed by sentient beings in their sleep state.

Using this property, she is able to enter the dreams of humans and even gods.

It was not the real Meli who appeared in Uruk now, but her shadow.

The magician's real body has been in the goddess' dream from the beginning, casting spells for 24 hours to put Tiamat into a deep sleep.

Meli originally wanted to retrieve the Holy Grail as soon as possible and directly repair the singularity while Beast was unable to wake up.

So this despicable woman even concealed the existence of the real Tiamat, Beast II, from her boss Gilgamesh.

I believe everyone knows what happened next. Mary was tricked by Kingo.

The killing of the false Tiamat caused the awakening of the real Tiamat, and the real body of the nightmare was also killed directly in the dream.

Merry should share at least 10% of the blame for Beast's complete manifestation.

However, these things have nothing to do with Rhodes now.

At this moment, he was only thinking about how to avoid Mary's surveillance and talk to his mother for a while.

Rhodes first admired Tiamat's evenly rising and falling breasts for a while, then shifted his gaze to her cherry-colored lips.

Suddenly, an idea struck the boy.

Since ancient times, hasn't there always been only one way to wake up Sleeping Beauty?

Thinking of this, Rhodes chuckled.

He gently pushed aside the long bangs that covered the lips of the Goddess of Creation.

Interlocking his fingers with Tiamat, the boy bent down.

……

……

……

Dark sea, lightless world.

The chill brought by the cold wind eroded Rhodes' senses.

As we all know, magic in Type-Moon is divided into the common [Five Elements], as well as the very rare [Nothing] and [Imaginary Numbers].

Sakura Matou's magic attribute is imaginary numbers, and Tiamat defined this character as "the ultimate Sakura" when he created it.

Whether it's the ruler of the black mud or the imaginary ribbons covering her skin, Tiamat is very similar to Kurozakura.

Therefore, Beast II can be said to be the pinnacle of the concept of "imaginary numbers".

But Rhodes [Beast VI] is different, he himself does not possess the attribute of imaginary numbers.

The ability to open the imaginary space is just a relic of my mother left when my spiritual base was connected with Tiamat.

Now, by touching Tiamat's lip mucous membrane, he quickly located Tiamat's position in the infinite imaginary space.

It is not about entering the goddess' dream, but directly entering her soul.

"Hey."

Just as Rhode was thinking about what lines to say to increase the heroine's favorability, a force came from behind.

Bringing a familiar scent and warmth, the goddess of the Imaginary Sea hugged him.

"Rod."

Although to others it might just be the howling of a wild beast, as a child he was able to fully understand the meaning behind the goddess's seemingly meaningless "AAaaaa".

"I'm so lonely... so sad... so happy that you came to see me."

The gentle whisper blowing in his ears made Rhodes relax his whole body.

He pressed down Tiamat's hand on him and spoke softly.

"Yes. Mother, I am here to see you."

After hearing Rhodes say the word "mother", Tiamat hugged his body and trembled violently.

"Am I dreaming? There's no way you're here."

"Mother, you are indeed dreaming...but I am real."

Rhode turned around, took her hand and placed it on his heart, "Look, it's beating well."

"Yes, it's true. Rod's spiritual foundation cannot be wrong. There is no way he can make a mistake."

Tiamat nodded and gave the boy a happy smile.

Impeccable facial features, beautiful flowing silver hair, cute and childish canine teeth, and skin whiter than snow.

The pair of cross-shaped pupils were like charming eyes full of magic, attracting Rhodes's attention.

"What's wrong, Rod?"

Staring at her young son in a trance, Tiamat tilted her head.

"Come, hold me. I want Rod to hold me tightly, okay?"

Well, Rod hugged her body and put his face on her chest.

The two beasts sat down on the imaginary sea.

"Why is Rhodes here?"

Tiamat asked, stroking her young son's black hair lovingly.

“…Hmm.”

Ahead is a soft touch and a wafting wonderful aroma.

There was a gentle touch on the back of my head.

An intense drowsiness followed and swept over Rhodes' whole body.

The embrace of the Mother Goddess of Creation made Rhodes unable to help but let out a comfortable hum.

He said, "I..."

I want to take my mother away from here.

When Rhodes opened his mouth and wanted to tell her his purpose openly, he was surprised to find that he couldn't say it.

The emotions overflowing from his chest made him incoherent.

"me……"

Rhodes exerted unimaginable strength and hugged Tiamat's slender waist tightly.

In this way, even if the opponent is Tiamat, she will feel pain.

But the goddess only frowned her elegant eyebrows slightly and responded to Rhodes with a more gentle touch.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Rod is a good boy, so tell mother if you have any troubles."

"Well... I want to take my mother away from here. I thought it was like this."

"Uh-huh."

"But... it wasn't until I met my mother that I realized that this was not the case at all."
