Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

"Aaaaa!!"

At almost the same moment, an incredibly beautiful, Siren-like song rang in the ears of Merlin.

The singing was incomparably gentle, yet it caused Merlin's expression to shift slightly, and he sighed inwardly: "This is going to be troublesome."

The last time, Lan Ze had entered the Dreamscape with ease and even gained the favor of Tiamat, which had led Merlin to a misjudgment.

He had assumed the Creation Mother Goddess would let them in easily, but it appeared that was not the case... at least, judging by the current environment, Tiamat did not seem to intend on letting them enter her Dreamscape so readily.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, a beam of light suddenly struck Merlin's eyes, causing him to squint.

As if sensing something in an instant, Merlin immediately raised his head to look forward.

He was shocked to discover that the Dreamscape before him was no longer the pitch-black void from moments ago, but was now a vast expanse of sea.

A woman with a mature, sexy figure was sitting on the beach, and Lan Ze had appeared by her side at some point, currently held affectionately in her arms, letting out small "Aaa" calls and rubbing his cheek against hers intimately.

Lan Ze had been taken away by Tiamat just now.

Merlin froze, momentarily doubting if something was wrong with his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes and looked up again.

...It seemed it really wasn't an illusion?

The Creation Mother Goddess, Tiamat, was being intimate with Lan Ze...?

"--Aaaaa--"

At that moment, whether out of excessive joy or some other reason, Tiamat parted her small lips and let out a beautiful song toward the sea ahead.

The song accompanied the waves, seemingly reaching toward the far horizon.

The singing was enchanting and melodious, yet to Merlin, it was no less than an attack from a Noble Phantasm.

For a quasi-King-Servant like him, the song emitted by a Beast was pure pressure.

This pressure descended from all directions; if Tiamat were to continue singing, Merlin would find it difficult to remain in this Dreamscape, as the constant melody would strip him of even the will to resist.

Just then, he heard the singing soften significantly, followed by two "Aaa" sounds that felt like coquettish whimpering, as if she were speaking to someone.

Merlin struggled to recover from the state of being completely stunned.

What about Lan Ze... was he alright?

He immediately thought of Lan Ze; even he could barely withstand that song, let alone Lan Ze, who was so close to Tiamat?

But when Merlin looked up at Lan Ze, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

At some point, Lan Ze had moved from being held in her arms to lying on Tiamat's fair, tender lap, his eyes slightly narrowed as if he were enjoying Tiamat's singing.

...He was even communicating back to Tiamat with his own "Aaa" sounds.

Merlin stood frozen for a long while, speechless.

Everything made sense now; no wonder Lan Ze was able to gain Tiamat's affection.

Perhaps the Creation Mother Goddess finding him pleasing was one aspect, but the most important thing was... Lan Ze spoke Tiamat's most primitive language.

He could understand that song-like speech... and he could even speak it himself!

Merlin watched the scene before him, feeling somewhat dazed.

Lan Ze, enjoying a lap pillow from Tiamat, and Tiamat, gently stroking her child's hair.

The scene looked remarkably harmonious.

Yet, the more Merlin looked at it, the stranger it felt.

That was the Creation Mother Goddess, the Second Beast, Tiamat! Normal Servants would tremble in her presence, and her descent into the world was enough to bring despair to humanity.

The song from just a moment ago had proven that point.

Merlin felt extremely oppressed just by hearing the song, which contained terrifying magical energy; the sense of pressure was enough to make one feel the urge to prostrate themselves.

Yet Lan Ze was acting as if nothing were wrong, rubbing against the Beast's thigh and occasionally brushing against her with his mouth by accident.

Merlin was an Incubus; he could not understand emotions, and likewise, he could not understand why Lan Ze felt absolutely no fear toward Tiamat.

Although he had suggested that Lan Ze soothe Tiamat, he had not expected their mode of interaction to be so casual and harmonious.

It was no wonder Tiamat did not dislike Lan Ze; she could easily perceive human emotions, and from Lan Ze, she could only sense affection for her, so naturally, she would pour the same love back in return.

Moreover, the two of them had been speaking words that were completely incomprehensible from the start... at least to Merlin's ears, it was entirely unintelligible.

Their conversation went roughly like this:

"Aaaaa?" Tiamat asked softly.

"Aaaa." Lan Ze replied.

"AaaaAA?"

Lan Ze nodded.

Then Tiamat asked again: "RaaAAaa?"

Lan Ze shook his head: "Aaa."

Merlin felt his head spinning as he listened to this encrypted conversation, which was no less incomprehensible than gibberish. After standing there like a statue for nearly half an hour, he finally lost his patience and spoke up with a smile:

"Goddess Tiamat—"

Hearing someone call her name, Tiamat raised her head to look at Merlin. She blinked, as if only just remembering that there were other outsiders present.

"Aaaa (Is he someone you know?)" she asked softly.

Lan Ze glanced at Merlin and nodded slightly: "Aaa (I suppose you could say that.)"

Tiamat fell silent for a moment: "Aaaa (I dislike others.)"

A chill ran through Lan Ze's heart.

He suddenly realized that he hadn't considered things thoroughly enough.

Tiamat might be tolerant of him, but that didn't mean she could tolerate others being in the Dreamscape as well.

Although her gentle temperament prevented her from driving Merlin away, she was clearly not happy.

Tiamat did not want outsiders to disturb them.

"I'll have him leave," Lan Ze said, starting to climb out of Tiamat's lap. He was just about to stand up when Tiamat gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Mother?" Lan Ze turned back, confused, only to find a faint trace of unease in Tiamat's eyes.

"Are you leaving again?"

Lan Ze froze for a moment.

This woman's power was so immense it was terrifying; most creatures in this world would tremble in her presence, yet he could clearly see fear in Tiamat's eyes right now.

No, it would be more accurate to call it helplessness.

What she feared was not death, but being alone.

If Lan Ze wanted Merlin to stay, she would endure it even if she disliked him.

"Don't go." She only pinched a small piece of fabric on Lan Ze's clothes, letting out a soft "Aaa" of appeal.

"Don't leave me."

"I'm not going anywhere, don't worry." Lan Ze placed his palm over the back of Tiamat's hand, gently soothing her.

Afterward, he looked back at Merlin, who wore a bizarre expression, and said, "Mr. Merlin, leave this to me. You should head out first."

"Ah... yes..." Merlin nodded immediately, looking at Lan Ze as if he were staring at a monster.

He felt immense psychological pressure just standing near Tiamat. If he considered himself a monster, then Tiamat was a monster among monsters; that kind of overwhelming power was enough to destroy everything.

Yet, Lan Ze treated Tiamat as if she were an ordinary person. If the King of Uruk were to see this scene, his jaw would likely hit the floor.

"Then I'll leave this to you," Merlin said.

"As for things on the outside, leave them to us."

With that, he took one last look at Tiamat.

She paid no attention to their conversation at all, one hand clutching the corner of Lan Ze's clothes, her gaze fixed on him as if she were in a daze.

How to put it? Merlin felt she was different from the "mother" he had imagined. At least from his current observations, Tiamat's personality seemed more like a child's; she developed an extreme dependency on certain things.

However, this was undoubtedly a good thing for their mission. As long as they could keep Tiamat stable, other troubles were manageable.

After all, no matter how tricky the League of the Three Goddesses outside might be, they couldn't possibly be more troublesome than a complete Beast.

The two sides were simply not in the same league.

Thinking of this, Merlin felt much more relaxed. He bowed politely to Tiamat.

"Then I'll be going now, Goddess Tiamat—"

He had barely finished speaking when he noticed Tiamat, who had been in a daze just a moment ago, suddenly lift her head. Those eyes that had been vacant seemed to light up, as if she couldn't wait for him to leave.

She raised her hand slightly and curled her finger toward Merlin.

She flicked it forward.

It felt as if the entire world were experiencing an earthquake. The smile on Merlin's face froze. At the moment Tiamat flicked her finger into the void, a sharp pain struck his forehead, and he was sent flying backward, eventually being flicked right out of the Dreamscape entirely.

"Mr. Lan Ze, I leave Mother to you!"

Merlin shouted as he screamed in agony.

By the end, Merlin's voice was completely drowned out by the sound of the ocean waves.

Lan Ze watched this scene, his mouth slightly agape, his eyes filled with shock.

His understanding of Tiamat was still too shallow. Although he knew this Mother of Creation was powerful, he had only grasped the concept; now, seeing her casual strike, he finally had a more concrete realization.

Tiamat withdrew her gaze. She pulled Lan Ze down to sit, then asked him where he had been and if he had discovered anything fun.

Lan Ze pondered for a moment. He spoke of his life in the "real" world—the big girl at home, school matters, and the various aspects of daily life.

To a woman who had been abandoned by the world, everything Lan Ze said was difficult to understand, yet she listened very earnestly. She had originally been holding Lan Ze like a plush toy, but as she listened, she seemed to fall into deep thought, to the point where she didn't notice she was hugging Lan Ze so tightly he was nearly suffocating.

By the time she realized and hurriedly let go, Lan Ze was almost at death's door.

However, Lan Ze didn't mind... after all, any resentment would vanish into thin air the moment he saw those assets.

"I'm sorry." Tiamat's small face was filled with apology.

Sometimes she found it difficult to restrain her emotions, as she would engage in more intimate behavior when happy, but for Lan Ze, these intimate actions seemed a bit overwhelming.

"It's fine, it's fine. I don't mind; it's okay if you increase the intensity, Mother." Lan Ze simply waved his hand, unbothered.

Tiamat was visibly relieved. She glanced at Lan Ze, and at this moment, the woman's expression clearly hesitated.

She had caught a scent that did not belong to any other god. When Merlin was present just now, she had assumed it was his scent, but it appeared that was not the case.

Tiamat lowered her head and began to sniff Lan Ze's body gently.

"Have you... been intimate with any other god?" she suddenly asked softly.

Upon hearing Tiamat's question, Lan Ze fell into a brief moment of stupor.

The way Mother of All phrased this, it was as if she were already certain he had engaged in some intimate act with a deity.

Seeing that Lan Ze remained silent for a long time, Tiamat poked his cheek lightly.

Lan Ze saw her mouth pout slightly, clearly unhappy.

"I haven't been intimate with any gods," he said sincerely.

"Then why is there... a scent?" Tiamat enunciated each word, her eyes filled with sadness.

Tiamat did not know how to scold others. Although she was very unhappy, there was little blame in her tone; she simply did not understand why her child would mingle with other goddesses while out.

"Actually, before I met you, I had signed a contract with another goddess, but that contract later vanished... Mother, you should know about this, right?" Lan Ze tried to explain.
