Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

"Before you arrived, the King already sent someone to deal with the Creation Mother Goddess."

"Someone can handle that 'Mother'?" Mashu sounded incredulous.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, with his orange-red hair, was equally astonished.

Though he wanted to ask Merlin, the white-haired mage simply smiled faintly, giving off a "those who know, know" expression, with no intention of explaining.

He felt that even if he explained, these two wouldn't believe him, so it was better not to say anything.

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu couldn't help but fall into endless speculation.

What kind of person could stop that "Creation Mother Goddess"?

...How did he do it?

Lan Ze lay on Tiamat's lap with a look of utter despair.

Tiamat had just said his scent was tainted by something else, so she was licking him and changing his scent to hers.

This was fine, but this "Creation Mother Goddess" didn't seem to understand restraint. Her overly enthusiastic affection was making him a little short of breath.

"Aaaa," Tiamat said apologetically.

"It's okay... it's not your fault, you're just expressing your affection," Lan Ze said, not minding, and just smiled.

Tiamat nuzzled his cheek affectionately, emitting a singing sound of "Aaa."

"Mother, don't be so enthusiastic, I can barely breathe..." Lan Ze said indirectly, while enjoying the warmth of Tiamat's embrace.

However, Tiamat seemed to remember how she had made Lan Ze red in the face just now, and actually let go, giving an apologetic "Aaa."

Only after the warm embrace left him did Lan Ze snap back to reality.

Looking at Tiamat's apologetic expression, Lan Ze sighed inwardly.

I just said it casually, why did she actually let go?

Although it was a bit difficult to breathe... he was actually quite willing.

Even if this game had no plot, just spending time with Mother every day, chatting with her, and showing affection would be enough for Lan Ze.

However, to achieve this level, they at least had to resolve the matter with the League of the Three Goddesses...

Thinking this, Lan Ze looked at the woman engrossed in watching her show, withdrew his gaze, walked to a nearby spot, and began to concentrate on his thoughts.

He wanted to try, using his limits, to manifest weapons like Excalibur in a tangible form.

It might be useful in the future.

Lan Ze slowly envisioned the sword in Artoria's hand in his mind, the Sacred Sword known as the "King's Sword."

This was a very time-consuming process. During this process, his mental power needed to be highly concentrated, and the magic in his body was rapidly depleting under the influence of Illusion Manifestation.

However, this time, the conception was a little easier than when he tried to manifest EA last time. After all, before manifesting EA, Lan Ze had already manifested other things. This time was different; his magic was already replenished.

Just a little more...

Lan Ze felt something was about to be constructed in his imagination through manifestation. His magic was rapidly draining, but this time he gritted his teeth and did not stop this "ritual."

Soon, Lan Ze felt an urge to vomit. His lips were pale, he desperately wanted to vomit, and even his heart rate became somewhat erratic.

This feeling was like having gone through a week of continuous manual stimulation, three to four times a day.

Just then, a box popped up before his eyes.

[Weapon acquired, Excalibur (The Shining Holy Sword that Saves the Planet, created to fight beings that destroy planets, a golden blade that can destroy all evil), legend says it has thirteen seals, its power increases with each unlocked seal, and it unleashes its strongest power, shaking the stars, when seven seals are released.]

Lan Ze endured his pounding heart, stared at the text above, and looked at the magnificent holy sword in his hand, feeling a subtle, indescribable sensation.

Thirteen seals... In his memory, he didn't recall Artoria ever releasing thirteen seals of the holy sword, did she?

But he didn't have the mind to think about such things. He hastily threw the holy sword into the Gate of Babylon. The weakness of his body made him collapse onto the ground.

"Right... the Holy Grail."

Lan Ze suddenly remembered this matter.

He had obtained a "Holy Grail" before, which could replenish his magic.

He had been so engrossed with Mother that he almost forgot about it.

Lan Ze had just opened his inventory when he suddenly heard Tiamat, who had just finished watching her show, anxiously exclaim:

"Aaaa (How can you be so weak?)"

Lan Ze's fingers paused slightly. As he turned his head, he saw Tiamat gently raise her finger, making him float into the air, and then fly towards her.

"I must replenish your magic quickly," she said urgently, her eyes filled with anxiety.

"Replenish magic...?"

Lan Ze was stunned and silently closed his inventory.

What is a Holy Grail? I don't recognize it at all.

"How do we do it?" Lan Ze asked, confused.

"Like last time," Tiamat said softly.

She controlled Lan Ze, making him float lightly before her. Then, her exquisite and beautiful face drew close to Lan Ze's, and she lowered her head, pressing her cherry lips against his.

Lan Ze's eyes slowly widened as he stared blankly at Tiamat.

So this is how you replenish mana?

He had seen the first Holy Grail War before and had a general idea of what mana replenishment entailed, but he hadn't realized that men could also replenish mana this way.

He had even wondered before, Thank goodness that anime was one male and one female. What if a male Heroic Spirit was summoned? Would I have to go for the guy?

If this was how mana could be restored, did that mean being bitten also counted?

While immersed in the kiss, Lan Ze was thinking such things.

Soon, he felt his depleted mana slowly being replenished, but the speed was not fast. Tiamat's mana was immense, but the problem was that she had very few ways to transfer mana to Lan Ze, so she could only replenish it slowly.

Tiamat clearly realized this as well. After their lips parted, she didn't rush to continue replenishing Lan Ze's mana. Instead, she gazed at the boy in her arms, her eyes still filled with tenderness.

Then, she leaned close to Lan Ze's ear and whispered, "Aaa."

Lan Ze blinked slightly, seeming not to understand, or perhaps finding it hard to believe.

At this moment, Tiamat whispered again, "Aaaa."

Lan Ze confirmed once more, "Is it really okay?"

Tiamat nodded with certainty.

After looking up again into Tiamat's gentle eyes, Lan Ze no longer hesitated. He let Tiamat stroke the back of his head and buried his face in her embrace.

At the same time, the mana within Lan Ze's body began to replenish at an accelerated rate.

Lan Ze felt that the mana deficit he had previously experienced was now completely restored.

No, his mana was even overflowing slightly.

Before, after creating the Star Sacred Sword, he had been too exhausted to even speak, and his stomach had felt a little uncomfortable.

But now, Lan Ze felt as if he had been given a buff, making him incredibly energetic... he even felt a little too full.

Of course, his excitement wasn't solely due to his mana recovery.

More importantly...

"Burp~"

Lan Ze let out a satisfied burp and patted his stomach, feeling content.

He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt that his physical condition seemed much stronger than before.

"I feel like I can even fight a god right now..." Lan Ze lay in Tiamat's embrace, looking at her tender, fair face, feeling completely invigorated.

"Aaa."

Tiamat let out a soft sound and covered Lan Ze's eyes, seemingly disliking being stared at so intently.

She tapped the spacebar on her laptop and continued to stare intently at the screen.

Lan Ze glanced at Tiamat through the gaps in her fingers, his gaze lingering on her chest for a moment. Then, he patted his slightly full stomach and quietly got up from her, moving to the side.

Lan Ze raised his hand, and several golden rings quietly bloomed behind him. Golden ripples undulated within the rings, looking radiant and dazzling.

This was a weakened version of the Gate of Babylon, a skill Lan Ze had received from a mission. While it didn't have the exaggerated treasury capacity of Gilgamesh's, it was generally quite convenient for storing things.

With just a thought, he could summon items from the Gate of Babylon.

Lan Ze retrieved the Star Sacred Sword from one of the "Golden Gates."

According to the System's explanation, this Star Sacred Sword had thirteen seals. Each seal released would increase its power.

However, there was a major prerequisite: passing the Round Table Conference.

Lan Ze raised the sword, and as he injected mana, the Sacred Sword emitted a brilliant radiance.

But there was no "Round Table Conference" prompt.

So that's how it is...

Lan Ze sighed inwardly, not finding it strange.

After all, he wasn't King Arthur; how could he possibly have a Round Table Conference?

He wondered how much power this Noble Phantasm could unleash if he couldn't pass the Round Table Conference.

Lan Ze raised the Star Sacred Sword, and the moment he injected mana, it erupted with a dazzling light.

He slashed the sword towards the sea.

In that instant, the entire sea was cleaved apart, huge waves surged, looking particularly captivating in the sunlight.

Although the destructive power was lower without passing the Round Table Conference, he was still very satisfied with this level of power.

And it was hard to imagine just how terrifying the Star Sacred Sword would be if all thirteen seals could truly be broken.

The giant waves seemed to disturb Tiamat, who was engrossed in watching her show. She looked up at the boy beside her.

Lan Ze noticed Tiamat's gaze and immediately said, "Mother, what do you think of this power? Isn't it strong?"

"Aaa." Tiamat nodded gently, encouraging her child.

"It's a shame I don't know the exact extent of its power," Lan Ze shook his head again, feeling a pang of regret.

He didn't have a clear concept of this kind of Noble Phantasm, and the System hadn't specified its current level. He could only rely on his senses to test its power.

Tiamat thought for a moment and said softly, "Yes, let's test it."

"Use it to attack me," she added.

Lan Ze immediately shook his head. "What if I accidentally injure you?"

Tiamat shook her head. "You won't."

Her voice remained gentle, seemingly unconcerned about the Star Sacred Sword in Lan Ze's hand.

Lan Ze hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded lightly. "Then please be careful, Mother."

After he spoke, he raised the Star Sacred Sword.

Golden particles seemed to be stirred up by the Star Sacred Sword, gathering on it and forming a dazzling radiance.

Lan Ze swung his sword down.

A golden beam of light shot towards Tiamat, but the woman remained still, her hands clasped over her chest as she sang softly, "Aaa."

The Tide of Chaos surged around her, and the black, swamp-like earth descended, engulfing the beam of light unleashed by the Excalibur.

And then... nothing happened.

The light from the Star Sacred Sword was completely swallowed by the Tide of Chaos, as if it had never existed.

"This corrosive ability is so strong..." Lan Ze watched, a little shaken.
