Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking
Lan Ze pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "If I had to be honest... I think you're a very important asset, and you saved me, that's enough."
Minamoto no Raikō gave an amused smile, "You're quite honest, aren't you?"
"But,"
Her tone suddenly changed, and the smile on her face faded slightly.
"The Minamoto no Raikō you see now may not be the real me, Caster."
Lan Ze was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, "Could it be that you have multiple personalities or something...?"
He didn't actually know much about Minamoto no Raikō, only that she had a large chest, a gentle personality, and gave the impression of being a "kind mother."
Hmm... In a sense, she's a bit similar to Mother of All, except Mother of All is simpler. When she's unhappy, she'll express it directly with "Aaa" instead of keeping it to herself. She's the type who takes revenge immediately.
"If it were another version of myself, would you have the courage to accept it, Caster?" Minamoto no Raikō suddenly asked.
"Another you...?" Lan Ze repeated, looking up into the woman's eyes. Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, he became more serious and nodded gently.
"I can accept either version of you."
LSP is fearless. He could remain calm when facing Tiamat, so he can naturally accept the other personality of this woman in front of him in the same way.
"Oh?"
Minamoto no Raikō's brows relaxed slightly. Looking at the frank gaze the boy cast at her, a gentle smile appeared on her face. She crouched down slightly and gently wrapped her arms around the boy's neck from behind, her large heart pressing down on the back of his head.
"Since you're so stubborn, I'll show you another side of me."
"I hope you won't be so scared that you run away after that... otherwise, Mommy will be very sad."
Hearing Minamoto no Raikō speak in such a gentle tone, words that made him uneasy, Lan Ze suddenly felt a little uncertain.
What exactly was this other self that Minamoto no Raikō spoke of?
Her tone sounded a little intimidating...
Just as he was thinking about this, Lan Ze suddenly realized that the surrounding environment seemed to be subtly changing. The narrow passageway had turned into a spacious meadow, and at the end of the meadow was a cherry blossom tree.
Pink petals drifted down in the gentle breeze, their petals swirling and twirling, carrying a faint, refreshing fragrance.
The woman holding a katana stood under the cherry blossom tree, her figure graceful and sexy, seemingly unchanged from before.
Minamoto no Raikō.
Is this... Dreamscape?
Lan Ze looked around and understood something to himself.
His gaze quickly fell on Minamoto no Raikō, and he noticed that this woman's expression was completely different from what he had seen in the tatami room. Her expression was indifferent, and her beautiful eyes also revealed an inhuman coldness.
As if sensing the boy's gaze, she slightly raised her head, her eyes landing directly on Lan Ze, a sadistic smile creeping onto her face:
"This time, the guest is such an adorable child?"
This aura is completely different from Minamoto no Raikō's. Is this really another Minamoto no Raikō...? Lan Ze steadied himself and asked, "Who are you? Where is Minamoto no Raikō?"
"I am Minamoto no Raikō."
The woman gave a gentle smile, paused slightly, and continued:
"Of course, you can also call me Ushi Gozen."
"Ushi Gozen...?"
Upon hearing the woman's reply, Lan Ze's mind began to work quietly, while he secretly observed her appearance.
Upon closer inspection, this woman, aside from her resemblance to Minamoto no Raikō, seemed to have a completely different temperament... Minamoto no Raikō gave off the feeling of a gentle mother, while this woman appeared to be ruthless and cold-blooded.
So, could this place be Minamoto no Raikō's "inner world"?
Lan Ze understood slightly.
At this moment, the woman suddenly spoke again, "You can also call me Gozu Tennoh."
She slowly drew her katana, a gentle smile on her face, but her beautiful eyes clearly revealed a cold, inhuman chill. "I am her demonic side."
Ushi Gozen is another personality of Minamoto no Raikō, or more accurately, another side of Minamoto no Raikō.
The personality "Ushi Gozen" even materialized into the real Gozu Tennoh, forcing Minamoto no Raikō to engage in battle with him.
If they hadn't been stopped, Minamoto no Raikō would probably have perished together with Ushi Gozen.
However, in that case, Minamoto no Raikō, as the original being, would also die.
Commonly known as "I kill myself".
Looking at the woman's cold face, Lan Ze stared for a moment, then paused slightly and said, "So that's how it is. You're Minamoto no Raikō's love interest, aren't you?"
No wonder Minamoto no Raikō asked him if he could accept this side of himself, because although Minamoto no Raikō's appearance had not changed much in this state, his murderous aura was completely undisguised. Just by standing in front of Ushi Gozen, he could feel a bloody aura emanating from him.
Without a doubt, this woman must have killed many, many enemies in the past.
However, for someone like Lan Ze, this murderous intent had absolutely no effect on him.
His gaze secretly swept over the woman before him, thinking to himself that her figure seemed similar to Minamoto no Raikō's... But then again, it made sense, since the two were actually the same person, so it was only natural that they would have similar figures.
As Lan Ze secretly observed the woman before him, Lan Ze Ushi Gozen was also sizing him up. Suddenly, she asked, "And who are you?"
She found it strange. People from the past would always look at her with fear and respect, but she couldn't sense any awe in this child's eyes.
This feeling was somewhat novel to her.
"My name is Lan Ze," Lan Ze introduced himself.
Ushi Gozen frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "I'm referring to your identity."
Just hearing a name, she had no idea who the other person was or where they came from.
Lan Ze paused slightly, then said, "The child of the Creation Mother Goddess, a resident of the Princess of the Root's family, and once Servant of Shiki-nee. However, she also served as Queen of Britain for a period of time, so she can be considered the father of the Rebellious Knight. In addition, she served Divine Messenger for two goddesses in Uruk, and also—"
Almost instantly, Minamoto no Raikō transformed into a blur, appearing before Lan Ze with his sharp katana pressed against his neck.
The woman slightly raised her beautiful, icy eyes and said coldly, "Are you playing me?"
She was not human in essence, but a child of demons mixed with "divinity," born high above all. She naturally interpreted the child's answer as a provocation.
Lan Ze gently shook his head. "I wasn't playing you... Everything I said above was the truth. Also, you seem to possess divinity...?"
Ushi Gozen raised an eyebrow, sizing up the child who had fallen into her palm, and smiled with narrowed eyes, "Your perception is quite good~"
"This divinity must have helped you a lot in the past, right?" Lan Ze said.
Ushi Gozen remained silent, only gazing suspiciously at the child before her, sensing that there was something more to the child's words.
"However, before me, divinity is actually a debuff--"
Lan Ze slightly raised his finger, and almost instantly, a golden chain suddenly appeared around Minamoto no Raikō.
The chains emanated a sacred aura and instantly bound Minamoto no Raikō's hands.
After binding Minamoto no Raikō's hands, the Chains of Heaven quietly circled around her wrists, swept across her high breasts, and then bound her legs as well.
It looks like a perfect work of art.
Lan Ze covered his face: How could this Chains of Heaven be so perverted? This method of restraint is just too... amazing.
It seems that the type of item reflects its owner; the way the Chains of Heaven is bound is unusually in line with Lan Ze's XP.
Ushi Gozen struggled to break free of the Chains of Heaven, but found it impossible to do so.
She jerked her head up, staring in astonishment into Lan Ze's eyes. "What is this?!"
"The Chains of Heaven, simply put, are those that grant stronger binding power to those with higher divinity," Lan Ze said.
In Type-Moon, divinity is often a debuff, especially when facing the Chains of Heaven, a statement that is brought to its fullest extent.
As long as one possesses divinity, and the higher the level of divinity, the greater the power that the Chains of Heaven can unleash.
Of course, if someone has an extremely strong will, they can break free on their own. However, breaking free also takes time. Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't show off or talk too much, you can eliminate the enemy the moment you restrain them.
Furthermore, for gods of Tiamat's caliber, the Chains of Chains of Heaven wouldn't last very long.
Regardless, the Chains of Heaven possess an extremely strong ability to restrain a "human" like Ushi Gozen who possesses divinity.
Just like now, bound by the Chains of Heaven, Ushi Gozen is completely unable to break free. On the contrary, the more she twists her body, the tighter the chains of Chains of Heaven become, and the beautiful figure under her bodysuit is accentuated by the Chains of Heaven, creating an even more beautiful sight.
Lan Ze watched this scene silently, feeling inexplicably restless.
He gently raised his hand, signaling that the Chains of Heaven should remain as it was and not continue to bind him.
Ushi Gozen abruptly raised her head, staring into Lan Ze's eyes. "Did that woman send you to deal with me?!"
Lan Ze shook his head and said, "Berserker didn't tell me to fight you; he just brought me into this Dreamscape."
He had no idea why Minamoto no Raikō had brought him to this place. Was he really here to deal with this woman...? Looking at the woman whose breasts were being squeezed even more prominently, Lan Ze silently complained to himself.
Upon hearing this, Ushi Gozen was taken aback for a moment, but quickly, as if she understood something, an amusing smile appeared on her face:
"I see~ She wanted you to see her own Dreamscape, to let you understand her past, that era of killing, but she never expected to meet me here?"
Originally, Dreamscape would present the various experiences of the Heroic Spirit in the past, but Ushi Gozen had been sleeping in Minamoto no Raikō's heart until just now when Lan Ze entered the Dreamscape, and she awoke from her slumber.
Minamoto no Raikō probably didn't expect that when he sent Lan Ze into the Dreamscape, no images would appear in the Dreamscape, but instead he would encounter the sleeping Ushi Gozen.
"It seems she wants you to acknowledge my existence?" Ushi Gozen continued.
Lan Ze didn't understand what Ushi Gozen was saying and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by 'her' in the past, during the time of slaughter?"
"That woman was born as a demon child after being conceived in her mother's womb for three years and three months, on the day and hour of the Ox. In the past, she was a ruthless warrior who slew many powerful enemies, not the gentle Minamoto no Raikō she appears to be now."
Lan Ze pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly widening in realization.
Minamoto no Raikō probably meant that he hoped he could acknowledge "Ushi Gozen," who was the child of a demon, rather than just acknowledging "Minamoto no Raikō" as a person.
However, her concerns were unnecessary from the start.
After all... for Lan Ze, it's all the same whether it's Ushi Gozen or Minamoto no Raikō.
At least in his view, there was no difference.
Ushi Gozen suddenly spoke up, "Help me untie this."
Lan Ze's gaze returned to Ushi Gozen. The Chains of Heaven were writhing across Ushi Gozen's body like snakes, making her rub her legs uncomfortably. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be misty with moisture.
This scene... isn't looking good...
"How could the Chains of Heaven be so perverted..." Lan Ze thought to himself, but his gaze was uncontrollably drawn to the woman who looked exactly like Minamoto no Raikō.
Feeling the child's intense gaze, Ushi Gozen bit her lip and spoke again, "Don't worry, I won't do it again."
"Even if I kill you in this Dreamscape, it will only drive you out and won't cause any damage to your real body... Besides, I've changed my mind now."
Lan Ze forced himself to calm down, then looked at Ushi Gozen with a suspicious gaze.
However, he eventually raised his hand and put the Chains of Heaven back into the Gate of Babylon.
Noticing that Lan Ze still looked wary, Ushi Gozen smiled calmly and casually tossed the katana into the air.
A clear, melodious buzzing sound rang out as the sword blade pierced the ground, producing a slight vibration.
"She wants you to acknowledge my existence. If you're so wary, you might disappoint her when you go out, you know?" Ushi Gozen suddenly laughed.
Just moments ago, she had maintained a cold, "whoever comes, I'll kill" demeanor, and even looked extremely ashamed when bound by the Chains of Heaven. But now, Ushi Gozen's face revealed a gentle smile identical to that of Minamoto no Raikō, leaving Lan Ze momentarily stunned.
He couldn't figure out the other party's tactics for a while.
"But then again, people used to avoid me when they saw me, but you don't seem to be afraid of me. Why is that?" Ushi Gozen suddenly asked.
Lan Ze snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head, saying, "I don't think you're anything to be afraid of."
Ultimately, he didn't really see any difference between Ushi Gozen and Minamoto no Raikō; at most, one was cold and aloof, while the other always showed a gentle side.
But her figure remained unchanged.
Ushi Gozen narrowed her eyes, scrutinized the child, and chuckled, "I want to know the real reason."
Lan Ze thought for a moment and said, "I think you all look the same, and you're all very beautiful."
Ushi Gozen paused for a moment, then a funny smile appeared on her face.
