Chapter 545

Even this level of light was enough to awaken a person's consciousness, Shirou Amamiya rubbed his eyelids and woke up.

"Hmm, is it already morning?"

He muttered to himself.

My head was still a little dizzy, but my body was fully awake as usual.

I woke up a little later than usual today.

Shirou Amamiya lifted the blanket to get up, he suddenly felt something touching his body and turned his gaze to his side.

A woman was seen sleeping soundly beside him.

Her flowing, water-colored hair spread out and covered the bed, while her fair arms and long, slender dragon tail coiled around his body like a snake.

Tiamat, with her sweet sleeping face, was used as a body pillow by Shirou.

Her slightly parted lips exhaled warm breath, brushing against Shirou's neck and bringing a tingling sensation.

Her long eyelashes cast soft shadows on her eyelids, and paired with her serene and peaceful expression, she looked just like a sleeping princess from a fairy tale.

"Seriously, could you at least consider my feelings?"

Shirou couldn't help but sigh.

The goddess's unique softness and fragrance, coupled with her voluptuous body as the "Mother of All Things," made her a deadly beauty for men.

The enormous object pressed against Shirou's side, its elasticity and weight almost driving him mad, conveying a variety of wonderful sensations that were difficult to describe.

Although they are now husband and wife, Shirou and Tiamat have not yet crossed that final line between a man and a woman.

For Tiamat, who knew nothing about matters between men and women, the greatest happiness was simply being able to fall asleep looking at Shirou's face every night.

When she accepted the marriage proposal, she said the following:

I want to experience all of "my first time as a girl" with Shirou...

The first time holding hands, the first kiss, the first hug, the first date, the first argument and then making up...

And of course, there was their first union.

In this abyss of nothingness, they possessed almost infinite time.

So, there's no need to be too hasty about that kind of thing, right?

Um.

To fulfill Tiamat's wish, Shirou and she began their sweet newlywed life in the abyss.

The room they use today, the bed they use, and even the changes of day and night in the outside world are all things born from Authority.

Tiamat is the Mother of Origin, the goddess who gave birth to gods and humans, and also the goddess of planetary civilizations. It's not impossible for her to do something like this.

With Tiamat's Authority and Shirou's assistance, they quickly built a small world just for the two of them in the otherwise empty abyss.

That being said, the current situation is a small test for Shirou.

That guy Tia doesn't care about my feelings at all; he only cares about his own enjoyment...

In that case, I must retaliate.

Thinking this, Shirou hugged Tiamat back and decided to go back to sleep.

"Hmm... Shirou...? Are you still sleeping...? It's already morning..."

"Get up... Ouch... Huh? Why is Shirou's face right in front of me...?"

I was unable to continue sleeping.

Just as Tiamat was about to go back to sleep, she woke up.

Because he happened to be hugging Tiamat, their eyes met perfectly.

I felt inexplicably ashamed; wouldn't this make it seem like I had taken advantage of her while she was asleep?

"Shirou... you..."

Tiamat gazed at the boy with her pure and innocent eyes, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Gurgle..."

Shirou swallowed hard, then saw the Goddess of Creation display a genuinely happy smile.

"Shirou, you really love to act cute. Do you want a hug? Hmm, sure~"

Tiamat looked delighted and hugged Shirou even tighter.

"This is a reward for good boy Shirou, hug him tightly."

"Hmm, Shirou? What's wrong? You're deathly pale, like you're suffocating... Ah!"

Tiamat possesses an A+++ level Monstrous Strength skill that surpasses even the End Giant Surtr, Shirou's body was easily crushed like a small boat in the raging waves of creation.

He felt his ribs groaning, his lungs were being squeezed dry, and stars began to appear before his eyes.

Is this the burden of being pampered by a goddess? -- Shirou thought to himself before his consciousness faded.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

Tiamat apologized to Shirou narrowly escaped death, with a mournful face.

"It's my fault, I'll reflect on it. Please don't be angry, don't hate me... um...?"

"This is Tia's punishment; accept it willingly."

Shirou launches a counterattack against the capricious and willful Goddess of Creation.

A light kiss, the lips barely touching, briefly overlapping before quickly separating.

Tiamat's eyes widened in surprise at the sudden attack, and a slight blush rose to her cheeks.

Although she is used to skin-to-skin contact, the Goddess of Creation is still very sensitive to kissing.

After all, a hug is a gesture of affection between a mother and child, but a kiss is a loving act between lovers and spouses.

For Goddess Tiamat, who had lived for countless years as the mother of life, this was a completely new and blissful experience, as she had never had any intimate experience with men before.

"..."

After a while, Tiamat's shyness faded, and she puffed out her cheeks in a huff.

"Shirou, you're teasing me again, how cunning... Is this your way of getting back at me, chuckle?"

Hmm.

Shirou was so engrossed in admiring Tiamat's adorable reaction that he inadvertently revealed a flaw in his plan.

That fleeting opening was seized upon by the person beside her, who retaliated in kind.

Unlike Shirou's fleeting touch, Tiamat pressed her lips firmly against his, leaving a sweet, numbing sensation.

"Hehehe... Shirou is shy. Isn't such a mature 'adult kiss' too early for Shirou?"

What kind of mature kiss is that?

It was only for a few seconds, just touching my lips.

Shirou dismissed it with disdain.

He had an incredibly rich history of experience with women, yet he was treated like a child.

It seems necessary to let Tia know what a real "adult kiss" is.

Shirou decided to slightly increase Tiamat's strength.

His palm rested on Tiamat's slender waist, feeling her amazing curves and warm body temperature.

He gently tightened his grip, pulling her even closer into his embrace.

"Shirou...?"

Tiamat made a questioning sound, but was quickly silenced.

This time, Shirou didn't just give up after a half-hearted attempt like before...

Five minutes later, the Goddess of Creation lost all her strength and slumped into Shirou's arms.

Her eyes were unfocused, and her lips were still glistening with moisture.

Even when lying down, her incredibly alluring figure heaved violently, her plump, rounded legs trembling and quivering.

Final--

They left the newlyweds' bed half an hour later.

Shirou leaves the hut where he lived with Goddess Tiamat and goes to practice his swordsmanship and Magecraft nearby.

After marrying Tiamat, Shirou transformed back into a human from a god.

He poured the "Divinity of the End" he had collected and completed into the "Sea of Life," which was equivalent to the essence of Goddess Tiamat.

Just as in the Mesopotamia Creator God, fresh water (Abzu) and salt water (Tiamat) created the gods—

Shirou and Tiamat achieved a permanent union on a divine level.

That endless, pitch-black expanse, which is both the "Sea of Origin" and the "Sea of the End," is now the joint property of Shirou and Tiamat, and is at his disposal.

Now that he had regained his human form, Shirou resumed his old routine.

Back in Uruk, he would practice whenever he had time in the mornings, and now that he's settled in the Abyss, there's no reason for him to stop.

"Projection, begin (trace on)."

Shirou grasped the longsword that had been drawn from thin air.

I was in excellent condition this morning.

There is no doubt that the body is in an unprecedented state.

Right now, I feel like I can handle any move...!

He focused his mind and swung his sharp blade at the scarecrow in front of him.

The scarecrow was cut as smoothly as tofu, with a perfectly flawless cross-section.

This was undoubtedly Shirou's most powerful slash to date.

He could sense the perfection of this sword strike—the power, angle, speed, and timing were all perfectly combined.

This is a level that can only be reached after countless trials and tribulations; it is proof of the perfect unity between sword and man, man and heaven and earth.

It's a pity Tiamat was preparing breakfast inside; otherwise, I really hope she could see me at my most handsome.

"... Um?"

Shirou frowned slightly.

He went over to examine the scarecrow he had cut down and was surprised to find that he should have only swung his sword once...

Why was the scarecrow cut into nine pieces? It's like it was slashed eight times in one go...

He clearly didn't use any techniques like Nine Lives; he really just swung his sword once!

Despite this strange phenomenon, Shirou's enthusiasm did not diminish at all; on the contrary, it grew even stronger.

In a state of exceptional condition rarely seen in a century, Shirou unleashed a frenzied sword-wielding frenzy with unprecedented momentum.

The scarecrows he Projection were cut down one after another without any sense of hardness, passing through them as smoothly as if they were cleaving through the air.

Hey... what's going on here...?

Could it be because of his intimacy with Tiamat this morning...?

Shirou then continued wielding his sword.

However, strange physical phenomena frequently occur, such as a single slash splitting the scarecrow into pieces, or the overlapping arcs of the sword during ultra-high-speed continuous slashes causing the scarecrow to be blown away as if it had disappeared.

"Alas... the path of the sword is indeed profound; my cultivation still has a long way to go."

Shirou, who had unknowingly reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, uttered such a sentiment.

He decided to end his practice and go back to help Tiamat make breakfast.

Tiamat had no prior cooking experience, so Shirou was essentially her Cooking Skills teacher.
