Tiamat's Great Victory! 2/3
"Lord Shamhat!"
Siduri frowned, pulling back the eager concubine, feeling rather helpless.
Since drinking the Food of Mana and Water of Life and rising from the dead, this saint has become increasingly unrestrained, seemingly eager to stir up trouble.
Judging from his appearance, he's probably just bored.
Immediately, the usually cautious high priest, who was responsible for mediating the dispute, voiced his doubts.
"Isn't it too risky to start processing this item right away?"
The ancient serpent nodded slightly and opened its lips in contemplation.
"Therefore, I will go ashore alone, leaving Tina on Ayu Island. You will have enough time to try before the final battle begins."
Ereshkigal's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes.
"But my mother..."
"I... can't... protect... myself... everyone... don't... worry..."
Although he stuttered a little, his clear and crisp words echoed in everyone's minds, which made them feel happy and relieved.
After a moment of silent contemplation, everyone nodded solemnly in unison.
The communication started intermittently and was then terminated.
Inside the cave, the Sorcery Array went out. Tina, who was using herself as a conductor to maintain the long-distance flow of the two World Bubble, felt slightly dizzy and swayed as she took her first steps.
Just as the Origin Goddess was dazed and trying to get into bed on her own, two interlocking arms pulled her into their embrace and lifted her up in one swift motion.
Tina blinked her Cross Star Pupils, glanced at his gentle face, and obediently nestled against his chest, curling up in a more comfortable position.
Tiamat's emerald horns rested on the ancient serpent's body, her pure and pretty face like that of an innocent baby in need of care.
As the steady, powerful heartbeat reached her ears, an indescribable sense of comfort made the Origin Goddess's body stretch and relax even more, like finding a cradle to shelter from the wind.
After a moment, Samael quietly got up and gently placed the Origin Goddess on the bed, as if she were a precious treasure. He gently pulled up the blanket, afraid that the movement would disturb the Mother Goddess Tiamat.
Then, Gu She Su moved a rattan chair over and sat in front of the bed, as was his habit, preparing to coax Tina to sleep.
However, after being comforted for a long time, the Origin Goddess still blinked her bright eyes and looked at Samael by the bedside.
Aren't you going to sleep?
"I'm not sleepy, Samael ... I have to go, I want to... see more."
Samael's gaze fell upon the lingering affection and reluctance deep within Tina's eyes. He reached out and smoothed the goddess's disheveled hair, whispering with a hint of guilt.
"I'm sorry, I can't take you back with me this time."
There are many specific reasons for this arrangement.
On the one hand, the situation on land is unclear, and Tina, who is not good at disguise, would be in danger if she ventured in rashly.
On the other hand, after recent observations, the ancient serpent suddenly realized that by bringing Tina ashore, it had inadvertently delayed her intellectual return.
Tiamat is the goddess of saltwater, and the ocean is more suitable for her growth.
In addition, the Pandora at the entrance is also a problem and needs to be restrained and monitored.
Samael recently discovered that her growth potential was extraordinary.
Especially after a series of ordeals, the chains of law sealing Pandora's Box within his body have shown signs of loosening.
To be on the safe side, it's best to take this opportunity to get rid of this menace and Pandora's Box as far away as possible.
If I were to leave, the only one capable of fulfilling the role of a teaching instructor would be the Young Goddess Form Tina, who is immune to the corrupting influence of evil desires.
If left unattended on the island, Samael reckons that when he returns, he won't even find a trace of their bones.
Just in case, the Ancient Serpent has recently been stinging Pandora multiple times, using a combination of feigned indifference and strategic maneuvering, specifically to train Tina's crisis management skills.
The result satisfied him; it would be difficult for that immature Witch of Calamity to escape from the palm of this Origin Goddess.
After all, this kind of simple, persistent, and unyielding existence is practically a nemesis to Pandora.
Finally, the plan I just discussed with the people of the Underworld is also an important part that Tina needs to carry out.
He and Zeus went back and forth, each outmaneuvering the other several times.
Now that the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark, it's time for us to fight back.
"Hmm... I understand... I'll keep an eye on this place..."
Tina nodded slightly, her eyes clear and her gaze gentle.
A warm feeling welled up in the ancient serpent's heart. He gently lowered his head and kissed the goddess's forehead.
"Please don't leave tonight... okay? I want to watch Samael sleep..."
I... I like Samael the most...
As night deepened, when Samael got up to leave, Tina, thinking of their parting the next day, held onto the ancient snake's arm, reluctant to leave.
Faced with the desire of the Origin Goddess, the Ancient Serpent decisively chose to refuse and resolutely turned away.
Tina bit her lower lip tightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
There's nothing I can do, she's just too big.
It's all that fairy's fault outside the door. After swallowing Pandora's Box, his negative emotions have been more easily stirred up lately.
If we can't take advantage of others calmly from now on, how can snakes live?
That's inhumane!
Samael screamed inwardly, glancing at the piece of cured meat dangling at the cave entrance with a sinister look. He could only endure the pain and sleep with Tina, secretly making a mental note of the matter in his notebook.
Just as the ancient snake was about to touch the edge of his bed, he seemed to realize something and turned around in surprise.
"The Mesopotamian 'He,' do you remember me?"
That last sentence was the parting words of the Mother Goddess Tiamat as she departed from divinity and returned to the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.
Tina nodded, her Cross Star Pupils filled with reminiscence.
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, go to sleep early."
Samael's eyes flickered, and he smiled as he touched the edge of the bed.
Moment.
"Snap!"
A crisp, resonant sound echoed through the cave. The ancient snake stared at the shattered stone slabs, its expression one of embarrassment and distress.
"This bed doesn't seem very sturdy..."
Unbeknownst to them, Samael blinked at Tina as she walked down the aisle.
"How about we go together?"
"Um!"
The Origin Goddess happily offered half of the blanket, resting her head on her lotus-root arm, her twinkling Cross Star Pupils looking at the face in front of her.
One hour... two hours... half an hour...
"You've been looking at it for so long without blinking, don't your eyes get tired?"
Samael, who was being stared at, quietly withdrew his hand, which had been resting on the slender waist of the Origin Goddess, and asked with a dry laugh.
Tina shook her head seriously, a sense of indescribable satisfaction welling up in her eyes.
One hour... two hours...
"Tina, you're not planning to just keep staring until dawn, are you?"
"Is it not allowed?"
Samael stared into those pure eyes, speechless.
A finger, which had been about to reach the peak after crossing the flat stomach, retreated in frustration.
"Okay then, I'm going to sleep now..."
Sure enough, he's still not beastly enough.
Just as the ancient serpent was complaining and preparing to turn to the side, a figure flipped onto his waist and hips, cupped his cheeks with both hands, and sparkled with bright starlight.
"I want to just watch Samael like this, forever and ever..."
As their cherry lips drew near, Samael kissed the goddess he had long admired. After a long wait, and through the catalysis of time, a tender seedling planted by the two of them had grown tall and lush, blossoming and bearing fruit in the darkness.
