How could this be possible?
If she had truly come into contact with the Beast of Regression, how could she not have noticed?
Sajyou Manaka's gaze flickered slightly, and she finally turned around, gently closing the door.
I need to find a way to investigate this clearly... she murmured softly to herself.
Lan Ze groggily opened his eyes.
The sky was already dim. After sleeping for a day, his head felt a bit dizzy.
It was quiet all around, but Lan Ze could still vaguely make out his surroundings.
The dark sea was unfathomably deep. He could faintly hear the sound of waves, and the sea breeze brushing against his cheek sent a shiver of cold down his spine.
Fortunately, Lan Ze was currently curled up in Tiamat's embrace, so he wasn't very cold.
This must be the warmth that a mother's love brings.
Looking out at the sea before him, Lan Ze's heart was filled with thought.
This didn't seem to be the Imaginary Number World, but he wasn't sure where it was right now.
The woman currently holding Lan Ze was Tiamat, one of the Creation Gods from Mesopotamian mythology.
She was cast out of the womb after creation, used as fertile soil to nurture life. However, after the Earth's environment stabilized, she was discarded as useless into the Imaginary Number World.
To the planet and even humanity, she was an obstacle.
She gave everything she could, only to be betrayed in the end; this was Tiamat's life.
Perhaps for Tiamat, what she missed most was not the ocean and sky, but a world that had not yet nurtured any life.
If I hadn't created everything, I wouldn't have been exiled... Perhaps she thought this.
Lan Ze silently gazed at Tiamat, suddenly feeling a sense of sorrow.
Betrayed by the gods after creating everything, banished to the lifeless Imaginary Number World, he felt inexplicably sad.
This woman was like a creature confined in a small box, knowing nothing, sleeping for a long time, until one day she was released from the Imaginary Number World by Goetia, full of joy because she saw so much life.
But then she discovered that all those lives feared her, because she was a beast, the Principle of Regression that would destroy the world.
Thinking of this, Lan Ze sighed softly, trying to shift his body. However, he was held too tightly to break free, so he gave up, contentedly enjoying the warm embrace and the soft touch against his cheek.
Tiamat noticed the movement in her arms, looked down at Lan Ze, and said softly, "Aaa (Good child)."
As she spoke, her brow relaxed, and a serene smile graced her face.
Lan Ze hesitated, then asked, "Goddess Tiamat, why aren't you driving me away?"
He felt a bit confused. He had thought that after accidentally intruding into this place, Tiamat might just kill him. Instead, not only was he not killed, but he was also enjoying a mother's embrace.
Tiamat looked down at the boy, blinked, and said softly, "Aaaa (Call me Mother)."
"No, that sounds a bit strange—"
However, as Lan Ze spoke, he saw the blue-haired woman puff out her cheeks, seemingly displeased: "Aaaa (Call me Mother!)"
"Alright, Mother... can you tell me now?" Lan Ze conceded.
Tiamat made two "Aaa" sounds. Lan Ze understood her words; she was roughly saying that she was happy that someone didn't fear her.
She could tell whether someone feared her or not, and from Lan Ze, she couldn't sense any fear.
Sensing Lan Ze's thoughtful expression and knowing he understood her words, Tiamat's face broke into an even sweeter smile.
Looking at this healing smile, Lan Ze felt a pang of guilt. He looked up at Tiamat, his gaze lingering on the giant heart for a moment.
...Seeing such a cute woman, it would be a lie if I were afraid.
If I were a pervert, I might have already defected and joined Tiamat's side.
"Aaaaa (Are you leaving later?)"
At this moment, Tiamat's voice suddenly came, pulling Lan Ze back to reality.
He had intended to nod, but seeing Tiamat's teary eyes, he couldn't bring himself to nod and instead said, "Even if I leave, I'll come back to find you soon."
Tiamat gazed at the boy in her arms, then after a moment, she gently shook her head, picked up Lan Ze, and licked his cheek, clinging to him like an affectionate kitten.
"Ah, this... this isn't good, please stop..." Lan Ze tried to push Tiamat's face away, but the difference in their strength was like heaven and earth. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.
He looked at Tiamat's fair and exquisite face, a strand of blue hair falling on her cheek, giving her a pure and flawless three-dimensional appearance. It was natural beauty, completely unadorned. Her elastic lips, opening and closing, seemed to exude a unique allure.
"Mother, please stop—" Although he said this, Lan Ze didn't resist much, his gaze involuntarily drawn to Tiamat's face.
And just then, two boxes suddenly popped up before him.
[Task 1: Kiss Tiamat within one minute. Reward: None]
[Task 2: Confess your love to Tiamat by the end of today. Reward: None]
Lan Ze: "?"
"Are you kidding me? Are you sure you're not playing with me?!" Lan Ze roared in his heart.
[Host, I only initiated the tasks based on your recent psychological desires. Please don't blame this system for everything.]
It might have been an illusion, but Lan Ze felt as though he could hear disdain in the broken machine's voice.
Lan Ze was now facing a tremendous challenge.
The system's task was for him to kiss Mother of All, and he was struggling with the feasibility of this mission.
After much thought, Lan Ze finally reached a conclusion.
This was a completely unrealistic task.
"System, you're definitely messing with me, right?!" Lan Ze yelled in his heart.
The system offered no response.
Lan Ze grew angry, "I want to abandon this mission!"
What a joke, asking him to kiss the Creation Mother Goddess?
He was really tired of living?!
A box appeared before Lan Ze.
[Do you wish to abandon kissing Mother of All? Confirming abandonment will result in punishment (punishment severity will vary depending on mission level)]
Lan Ze's heart skipped a beat: "System, what is this punishment you speak of?"
However, the system still offered no response, only another box popped up: [Do you wish to abandon kissing Mother of All? Yes/No. Upon abandonment, your Luck stat will be reduced to E for the next half month.]
"Do you really think a mere game punishment can scare me?" Lan Ze sneered and clicked "No" on the box.
He held his forehead and sighed silently, feeling a dull ache in his head.
Only by kissing Mother of All would the mission be complete, but would it really go that smoothly? What if he told her now: "Mother, can I have a kiss?"
He wondered how she would respond.
If she had a good temper, she'd probably pat him and tell him to stop being silly. If she had a worse temper or was shy, she'd probably throw him out like a javelin.
"Aaaa (What are you troubled by?)"
Tiamat lowered her head slightly, her small mouth parted, and she tilted her cute head, looking at him in confusion.
She could clearly sense that her child seemed a bit worried.
Lan Ze forced himself to stop thinking and shook his head with a smile, "I'm not troubled by anything, don't worry."
Tiamat clearly didn't believe him. Her red, star-like eyes quietly peered at the youth in her arms. After a moment of thought, she softly said, "Aaaa (Do you want to leave?)"
Seeing the loneliness reflected in the woman's bright, beautiful eyes, Lan Ze felt a pang of guilt and lied against his better judgment, "I don't want to leave. I think it's nice here."
No, it wasn't entirely a lie.
He did find staying in a place like this too boring, but for some reason, he felt a reluctance to leave right now.
Lan Ze had always been like this, reluctant to part with things he had used or experiences he had gone through. The erasers he used as a child, game cartridges, even broken yo-yos were still kept in his drawers, sealed deep within his memories.
He and Tiamat had only known each other for less than a day, but looking at the woman's gentle smile, he felt an irrepressible sense of pity.
Tiamat was alone here. If he left like this, she would be left alone again in this lonely world.
He didn't know if this was due to his inner kindness or simply because he was a pervert.
Or perhaps it was a bit of both.
In any case, seeing such a cute Mother of All, he found it hard to connect her with the world-ending monster from his memories.
Tiamat seemed genuinely delighted by Lan Ze's answer, a gentle smile gracing her face.
Watching this scene, Lan Ze couldn't help but also show a faint smile.
This feeling of being needed, even relied upon, was truly wonderful.
Although, judging by their current posture, it was more like he was relying on Tiamat...
After all, he was being held in the Creation Mother Goddess's arms like an infant.
[Please complete the kiss with Tiamat as soon as possible. Reward: None]
The system's cold, mechanical voice pulled Lan Ze back to reality. He couldn't help but inwardly grumble, "You really have no sense of timing, System."
He was grumbling while looking at Tiamat. The woman seemed to sense his gaze, looked down at him, and offered a gentle, motherly smile.
She tucked a strand of hair that had fallen onto her chest behind her ear. Her fair skin made Lan Ze's eyes widen slightly.
But Lan Ze quickly bit his lip, forcing himself to remain calm.
Calm down, calm down... Absolutely no inappropriate thoughts.
If the system suddenly gave him a "Mission: Complete a declaration of love to Tiamat and engage in extremely intimate contact" based on his inner thoughts, that would be a real disaster.
"Mother, let's go back to sleep," Lan Ze said softly.
Tiamat asked in confusion, "Aaa? (Are you sleepy?)"
"Yes, very sleepy. Let's sleep together this time," Lan Ze said.
He wasn't sleepy at all, in fact, after sleeping for so long, his head felt a bit fuzzy.
But after thinking it over carefully just now, the system's mission didn't seem that difficult to complete.
Kissing Tiamat when she's awake isn't very feasible, so why not wait until she's asleep?
Lan Ze silently praised his own cleverness and looked up, peeking into Tiamat's enormous heart: "How is it?"
Tiamat nodded, appearing very obedient.
She pulled Lan Ze even tighter into her embrace, like hugging a pillow while sleeping. Her eyes were slightly closed, her long eyelashes fluttering gently. Her face was flushed, her cherry lips pursed, resembling a tranquil Sleeping Beauty.
However, if this Sleeping Beauty were to truly awaken one day, the entire world would tremble.
According to Lan Ze's memory, everyone in Uruk and Chaldea, along with King Hassan sacrificing his Throne, and even with Tiamat holding back a bit, they barely managed to defeat her.
And now, he was sleeping in the arms of such a terrifying existence...
Well, right now, Tiamat didn't seem terrifying at all. She was just a simple and cute woman.
And her heart was huge.
Time flowed by silently. Without him realizing it, Lan Ze felt the woman holding him had become completely still. He quietly opened his eyes to take a look.
Tiamat had indeed fallen into a deep sleep. She looked exceptionally peaceful. Her long, flowing blue hair cascaded naturally to her calves. A pair of massive horns on her head seemed to declare her true identity. Her skin was as fair as snow. No matter how you looked at her, she was an incredibly perfect woman.
Surely no artist in the world could sculpt such a perfect creation... Looking at this woman whose sleeping face was so captivating, Lan Ze could only think this.
He carefully crawled out of Tiamat's embrace, looking up at her flawless face. He slowly, slowly leaned in towards her lips, then paused just above them.
Those elastic lips seemed exceptionally alluring in Lan Ze's eyes at this moment.
This is all a system quest, I'm definitely not taking advantage of her...
Lan Ze took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
He lowered his head slightly towards Tiamat's face, his lips gently brushing against her soft lips.
