The Cloud-Raised Brave Man's Travels

"I'm their mother, shouldn't they love me?"

"Of course they should, but those gods abandoned this love for their own sake, so they don't deserve your love."

"Is that right?"

"Love is mutual. Loving someone who doesn't love you is bound to get hurt."

"Yes... yes... Thank you, Koya. You have answered many questions for me."

Tiamat's face showed some relief. Although she was simple, she was not stupid. Koya's words made her sober up a lot, but she also realized that Koya said these words to her with a purpose. But she didn't hate it either. After all, what Koya said was true.

"Is there anything you need me to do? I'll do my best to help you."

"So……"

Koya took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak to Tiamat.

"Goddess Tiamat, I hope to marry you. I hope you will fall in love with me. I hope you will go with me to the world where Orarie is. I hope you will be with me forever."

"Eh?!"

Straight ball, you must use straight ball attack to deal with a woman like Tiamat, first express your feelings to her, and leave a deep impression in this woman's heart regardless of success or failure; although Koya did not seriously and actively pursue girls, the girls around him seemed to be the ones who took the initiative first, but after all, he was a man wandering among so many flowers, and Koya had already summed up a set of methods to please girls, but he was a little nervous now.

"Is this really what you want?"

"Yes, God Tiamat, you should know that there is no lie in my words. I want to be with you."

"Well, but, but, I'm trapped in the inner sea of ​​stars and can't get out."

"I have a solution!"

Tiamat was visibly shaken, her gentle eyes turning to Koya with a look of bewilderment. She waved her hands frantically like a little girl, lacking the calm composure of the Mother Goddess of Creation. But it was precisely this behavior that made Koya feel the person before her more real. Tiamat... Koya's heart was truly moved at this moment.

"Goddess Tiamat, I really like you, I hope you can agree to it!"

Koya became proactive now. He walked up to Tiamat and grabbed Tiamat's waving hand... Well, there really is a height difference. Ignoring Koya's 1.85 meter height, the two of them really look like a child being run over by a truck.

"Well, how could anyone say something like that the first time they meet?"

Tiamat spoke shyly, but she didn't shake off Koya's hand, as if she agreed. Koya's experience told him that it was time to strike hard!

[System, use the last pass! ]

"Tiamat, this is the means by which I will take you out of this world. It is also what binds you and me together for life. With it, we will never be separated!"

"Well……"

Tiamat listened at a loss as she listened to the message in her mind that kept asking her to confirm. For a moment, she had no idea what to do. But sometimes when faced with an option, when you hesitate, it's because you already have the answer in your heart.

[Ding, host's side quest completed. Beginning to verify Tiamat's condition, synchronization initiated. Ding... Detected a special reason, pausing...]

"Koya, the voice in my head said that I still need to complete one more mission in this world before I can leave with you."

Tiamat felt wronged. She had finally made up her mind to leave this world, only to be told she still had to complete a task she really didn't want to do. She had already wanted to let it go and quietly leave this world with Koya to live a good life, but the world still forced her to attack Uruk! What a bully!

"What's the mission? It doesn't matter. I'll help you."

Koya, now bolder, took a few steps forward and embraced Tiamat... What a novel experience. In the past, when he hugged girls, they would lean against his chest, but this time, he was buried in hers. This feeling was truly new. Tiamat's body exuded the scent of milk, making Koya reluctant to let go. Tiamat hugged Koya back, one hand on Koya's head, stroking her hair as if soothing a child.

"My mission is to attack Uruk as a beast. How troublesome... I really don't want to stay in this world for even a moment. I'm the Mother Goddess of Creation, yet this world gave me the identity of a beast. She's such a villain!"

"Well, bad guy, so we don't want Him anymore from now on. You leave with me."

"Ok!"

Should we say it was a natural development, or was it just the surge of Koya's desire? Anyway, in the dream, Tiamat reluctantly agreed to Koya's idea of trying the cart. This was a very novel experience for Tiamat, because when she and the God of Freshwater bred the gods, it was just a fusion of power and power. This was the first time she had experienced breeding offspring in a human way. But since it was a matter of breeding, she naturally liked it very much, and... she had to say that breeding between humans was really comfortable.

And then, while Tiamat was still driving, it actually shrank? Koya looked at the dough in his hand that had transformed from a watermelon into a steamed dumpling, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Mama?"

"Hmm, do you like it? I heard that humans really like girls like this, so I tried to change it up."

"I like anything Tiamat!"

The engine roared again, but this time the big car turned into a small car, and the experience was completely different. Keya grabbed Tiamat's horns and sprinted, as if he was completely tireless... In this dream, Keya didn't remember how many times he and Tiamat had driven together. The main reason was that Tiamat, which could freely change the car model, was too attractive. Sometimes it was the compactness of a small car, sometimes it was the running-in of a medium-sized car, and sometimes it was the tolerance of a large car. Keya almost used all the driving skills he could imagine in his mind on Tiamat, and the two reluctantly parted.

"Koya~~I like it so much."

Tiamat now has restored her original form as the Mother of Creation, holding Koya tightly in her arms. The stars in her eyes have turned into hearts at some point. The collision of flesh and the fusion of heart have made Tiamat truly understand what love should be like. Only when two people love each other can this feeling be called love, and now Tiamat loves only one person!

"Tiamat, can you just pretend when you attack Uruk? I'm also in Uruk's camp, and Fujimaru Tachibana is the one I must protect in this world. If she dies accidentally, I'll be in big trouble."

"Okay, then, Koya, if you beat me up, I'll be defeated in disgrace~~ Hehe, then you'll become a hero in this world, right?"

"Well, thank you Tiamat."

"Keya~~"

Koya's consciousness became a little hazy, and he seemed to have a premonition of something, and he said to Tiamat.

"Tiamat, I seem to be leaving, but don't worry, you can sense my location through that pass. When you come out, let's meet in Uruk, and then we will leave together."

"Okay, I will definitely come to you as soon as possible."

"By the way... don't hurt that nightmare that's been preventing you from waking up. He's my friend."

"Ok."

When Koya woke up, he was still in the carriage, its swaying motion indicating he was still on his way to the Blood Temple. He had no idea how much time had passed in his dream, but in reality, it didn't seem that long. He saw Tachibana, Mashu, and Anna looking at his lower body with horrified yet curious eyes, while Ishtar looked at the three shy girls with a look of "How ignorant!" She was just looking at them, even though the thing had been going in and out of them all that time.

Oh, it seems that the actions in dreams will also have feedback on the body, but fortunately there was no wet dream, otherwise Koya would have felt at a loss.

"Senior, is this the legendary Chen X?"

"I, I don't know. Don't ask me about this kind of thing."

"Koya is filth, so he should be cut off!"

Keya quickly stood up and grabbed Anna's sickle. This child, so scary! Keya's action of standing up and grabbing the sickle made the thing in his lower body come in front of Anna. Anna's face turned red and she closed her eyes. She was directly frightened by this filthy thing and fainted...

Chapter 176: The Last Night Before the Final Battle

On the morning of the second day, the group found an excellent base, located on a steep mountain, a place that even monsters had never set foot on. From here, they could clearly see the Blood Temple and the movements of monsters in the dense forest. Koya and Tachibana set up a tent on a flat ground on the mountainside. With Merlin's illusion, as long as they didn't make any big noise, the Mother Goddess of Monsters would never find them. After all, this was an illusion cast by Merlin, who could even make Tiamat fall asleep.

"Um... Anna, could you please stop looking at me like that? It's creepy."

Koya turned his head helplessly, and sure enough, he saw Anna holding a sickle and staring at him. This little girl had been following Koya since what happened in the carriage. She kept staring at Koya with her venomous eyes, as if the sickle would be placed on Koya's neck in the next second.

"Scum, pervert, serenader maniac! Die!"

Well, that’s good. It seems that this situation will continue for quite a long time.

"Hey, Koya, now you've left an indelible impression on Anna."

"Yeah, I have a deep impression of someone who wants to chop me into pieces and feed me to the monsters."

Koya felt a little helpless. He didn't want this kind of accident to happen; it just happened to be so coincidental. And to be clear, he truly had no interest in lolita! So far, Koya's most unforgettable battle with the three-meter-tall figure of Tiamat has been his most memorable one. That all-embracing feeling still resonates with Koya. Incidentally, Koya hadn't told Tachibana and the others about Tiamat. Although Tiamat was destined to be no longer a threat, Tachibana still needed to overcome this hurdle on her own.

Over the past few days, he'd gradually grasped what Tachibana would face. Beyond Tiamat lay the final singularity, the final battle against Solomon, the Magic King's Chosen One. Tachibana desperately needed to build up her confidence at this moment, and defeating the Mother Goddess of Creation was the perfect opportunity. Koya and Tiamat were now able to communicate through their consciousness, likely due to Tiamat's ability. The two had already agreed that Tiamat would display 50% of her full power, transforming into a dragon.

Although this strength is not Tiamat's strongest state, it is definitely the most oppressive state. The dragon, which is larger than a mountain, is the enemy that Tachibana will eventually face.

After setting up the tent, it was time for lunch. This time, Koya did not take out any self-heating hot pot or something like that for Tachibana to have a good meal. Instead, he simply took out a few compressed biscuits as hard as bricks and a few bottles of water. The smell of food could not be blocked by illusion, so in order to ensure safety, he could only use compressed biscuits to deal with it.

"Merlin... is that tomorrow?"

"Yes, Tiamat will know when she announces her attack."

Tachibana naturally knew the time of the attack by heart, and she asked again just to hide her inner nervousness and uneasiness. Although she believed everything Koya said, and she had also witnessed Koya's unparalleled power in the Black Dragon state, she still couldn't avoid being nervous.

In fact, Tachibana didn't know whether she was nervous about the battle with the Mother Goddess of Warcraft, or worried about the final battle with Solomon after the seventh singularity...

Perhaps it's more of the latter. From the first singularity to now, the super adventure spanning history is finally coming to an end, but when the final big boss is really about to appear in front of him, the inner panic makes Tachibana a little breathless.

"Don't worry Tachibana, I will help you. I'll always be by your side."

"Yes, Senpai! I will always stand by you too!"

Mashu, unwilling to be outdone, continued Koya's words. Speaking of which, after yesterday's incident, Mashu's attitude towards Koya had become much colder, except for Anna. While the look she gave Koya wasn't as murderous as Anna's, it was also filled with vigilance. Was she worried that Koya might steal her senior? Hehe, that little eggplant was overthinking it!

"I know, thank you."

Seeing Tachibana's performance, Koya felt more and more that the existence of the enemy Tiamat was necessary. Although Tachibana had crossed seven singularities and her will might have been as strong as a rock, she had always relied on the power of her servants to overcome difficulties. She was not confident in herself and felt that everything she had done was accomplished with the help of her servants.

Koya actually doesn't know much about Tachibana... The time they've been together in Uruk these days hasn't allowed him to know everything about Fujimaru Tachibana, so he can only rely on Mashu, who has always been by her side, to tell her about her mentality.

"Tachibana, don't overthink it. There's a saying that goes, 'When you reach the mountain, there's always a way out.'"

Merlin's words were still illogical, but he could still read the atmosphere. It was more accurate to say that while Merlin didn't understand human nature, he also understood it better than anyone else. He simply didn't care, and didn't want to care. His words interrupted the lingering tension in the camp. The most important thing now was defeating the Mother Beast Goddess Gorgon. As for the Magic King... that wasn't Tachibana's concern right now.

The time of sitting and waiting was very difficult to endure. Fortunately, the monsters were basically gathered in the dense forest under the command of Gorgon, otherwise Koya and the others would have to be vigilant about whether the monsters would accidentally come to this place.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon the sky became completely dark. Although the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the night was not really dark. It was not known whether Tachibana did it on purpose or accidentally, but the task of keeping watch today was given to Koya and Anna.

Now the two sat in the open space outside the tent, staring at each other. Every time Koya opened his mouth to speak, Anna shot him a death glare, silencing him. Anna knew that what happened yesterday was just an accident, but her shyness prevented her from facing Koya directly. She knew this wasn't a good idea; after the Gorgon was defeated and the Holy Grail was recovered, everyone would be leaving, and saying goodbye with a stern face wouldn't be a good idea.

"you……"

"never mind……"

Anna hesitated to speak, and finally opened and closed her mouth like a fish coming ashore. Koya couldn't help but smile at her, and this smile made Anna angry again.

"why are you laughing!"

"I didn't mean to laugh at you. I just thought you looked a little cute just now. Sorry, sorry."

Actually, it wasn't like that. Koya just laughed out loud because he thought Anna's dead fish look on the shore was really funny, but how could he tell the truth? If he told it, Anna might really take action.

"Humph!"

"Although we shouldn't eat food with a strong odor, if it's just some sweet cakes, I don't think the Warcraft's sense of smell is that sharp. Anna, please accept it."

Koya took out all the desserts in the inventory and piled them next to Anna. The height of these desserts piled together even exceeded that of Anna who was sitting. Anna's eyes lit up when she looked at these desserts, and the angry expression on her face could no longer be held back.

"Eating desserts at night can cause tooth decay."

"Then put it in the spirit space and eat it when you want."

"..."

"Hey, if you don't want to eat it, why not let me have some~"

"Ishtar? Why did you come out? Aren't you going to rest for a while?"

"I can't sleep. I have a feeling something's wrong. I feel vaguely uneasy. It's like after we defeat the Gorgon, something even more terrifying will appear."

Ishtar sat down on Koya's thighs. She would never sit on the ground, as that would be so undignified. Besides, Koya's thighs were obviously more comfortable than the ground. She picked out a box of egg tarts from the pile of desserts accurately and then distributed them to Anna and Koya like a hostess.

Koya was thinking about what Ishtar had just said. Could it be that she sensed Tiamat?

"Never mind. This feeling is vague and doesn't give me any sense of danger. It must be just an illusion. If there was real danger, my goddess radar would have been set off long ago."

No, Ishtar's feeling was correct. As for the premonition of danger... Tiamat was just acting. There must be no danger.

·Dividing line·

"Oh my, the sight of so many monsters running together is truly spectacular. Hmm... Jingu is also going out with them. Good news, good news."

"Jin Gu?"

"Kingu is the ruler of the beasts and a child of Tiamat. It's a bit rude to still call him Enkidu. Kingu is more appropriate."

"Names don't matter. When are we going to start?"

"Don't worry, Tachibana. At least wait until the monsters reach the northern front and can't come back. It's not a good idea to charge into the Blood Temple with so many monsters blocking the way."

On the tenth day after Gorgon announced the launch of a full-scale offensive, when dawn came, the monsters seemed like an army that followed orders. They woke up at the same moment and rushed out of the dense forest towards the northern defense line. The scene of thousands of beasts galloping was truly magnificent.

Maybe Gorgon was too confident in the defense of the Blood Temple, but there wasn't even a single monster left in the dense forest. About an hour later, Merlin nodded to Tachibana. Of course, this didn't mean that the monsters had reached the northern defense line. Their speed wasn't that fast. Merlin felt that they had taken a detour and crossed the lava river left by Koya.

The lava river originally prevented them from attacking the northern defense line, but now it has become a natural barrier preventing them from returning to defend.

"Koya, break open the temple."

The divine domain unfolded silently. Koya didn't even feel any obstruction when he enveloped the Blood Temple. If the inherent barrier that Merlin cast during the experiment in the God Tower was an eggshell, then the Blood Temple in front of Koya felt like there was no feeling... There was no obstruction at all. Koya's divine domain completely covered the Blood Temple. Now, if Koya wanted, he could easily ignite a fire that would never go out inside the Blood Temple.
