Prison

Enlil's furious voice echoed in the Gale Chamber. Bai Mo narrowed his eyes slightly; he was somewhat familiar with this move.

Previously at the Clock Tower, those Magecraft used some of the power of [Second Magic] to construct a similar mirror room barrier, where magic would be constantly reflected and amplified.

"It sounds impressive, but it's really just meant to scare those who don't know any better."

Although Enlil's Space-Time Wind technique was many times larger than the Mirror Room barrier, it was not as effective as the Mirror Room barrier, which at least continuously enhanced magic power.

A barrage of wind blades hurtled towards him, but Bai Mo unleashed a punch, sending a giant whale crashing into him. The wind blades, like shards of pottery striking a stubborn rock, instantly shattered and scattered.

A flash of azure sword light appeared, and the Real of the World cleaved a gap in the wind wall. Bai Mo instantly accelerated, rushing towards the next tower.

"It seems there are different levels of expertise in spacetime. What should we do? It seems you can't do anything to me now. Shouldn't you reveal your true form and have a showdown with me?"

Faced with this provocation, Enlil remained silent, but the flames of anger hidden in his Storm burned even more fiercely.

Seeing this scene, Bai Mo couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. He could sense that the Storm in front of him was not caused by Enlil himself.

This guy talks a lot of angry words, but he's not even here. If he were really here, Bai Mo would definitely turn around and kill him immediately, but he didn't come at all.

Without slowing down, Bai Mo quickly broke through several towers. Just as he was about to obtain another Me, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, the Daichi beneath the tower cracked open, revealing a dark abyss that seemed like a gaping maw, ready to swallow the Me whole. Bai Mo looked closely and realized that this Me was none other than [War].

The orderly attacks of the phalanx formed by Lahmu earlier were all thanks to this.

Clearly, this is a very important Me, so important that Enlil would resort to such means to prevent Bai Mo from obtaining it.

"Seven hundred thousand horsepower— the Evil Wind!"

The pitch-black Storm resembled a galaxy falling from the heavens. Bai Mo immediately felt a surge of pressure. If an ordinary 500,000 horses were here, they would be crushed by this force and unable to move, eventually turning into a pool of blood.

Legend has it that when Marduk and Tiamat went to war, this Evil Wind arose, causing Tiamat to be unable to close her mouth, her body to swell, and finally Marduk shot an arrow into her body.

This Evil Wind contains almost endless curses; just a touch of it can instantly reduce a person to ashes.

Evil Wind arose, and the Me, like a small fish caught in a whirlpool, plummeted downwards. Bai Mo decisively channeled his power, shooting straight down like a bullet.

If war breaks out, Bai Mo will likely have to deal with Enlil, and the Thirteenth Grand Protector are probably still alive.

The power of Uruk is vastly different from that of these Lahmu. Now that there is an opportunity to relieve the pressure on Uruk, Bai Mo is determined not to let it slip by.

He snatched the war Me from his hand, and the crack above his head closed.

Bai Mo held the pointer given to Gilgamesh in one hand. He had achieved enough and could go back.

Just as he was about to leave, a deep breathing sound rang out. Bai Mo turned his head and looked over. His eyes narrowed, and he saw a huge creature fast asleep.

A pair of enormous beast horns emanated from her, and black and red power surged around her. Her body took on the form of a human female, and her size even surpassed that of the World-Destroying Demon God.

Tiamat...

The colossal beast before them could only be her, Tiamat, the Sumer Primordial Mother Goddess.

Releasing his fingers from the pointer he was about to break, Bai Mo released his senses to check on Tiamat's condition, his vast consciousness sweeping across the area.

Suddenly, Bai Mo's eyes narrowed; he sensed something that shouldn't be there.

With a flash, Bai Mo arrived at Tiamat's spine, where a mass of scarlet flesh was writhing. Just looking at it was utterly disgusting.

But within that flesh and blood, half of a young girl's body was submerged, like a flower blooming in a forbidden zone of life, beautiful yet somewhat eerie.

It was Sajyou Manaka who had previously made a solemn promise to Bai Mo to leave the Imaginary Number Space.

He reached out and tapped Manaka's head with his finger in a rather ungentlemanly manner, as if knocking on a door. A muffled thud echoed in Manaka's head. Then the girl slowly opened her eyes, as if she had just woken up.

Upon seeing Bai Mo, her eyes instantly overflowed with joy. She reached out her hand to Bai Mo, as if inviting him.

"Am I dreaming? I thought I was going to completely succumb to this, darling, but you actually came with me to this abyss of depravity?"

I'm sorry... I... I'm so happy I don't know what to say. Please put your hand into my chest, through my flesh and blood, and touch my heart.

I simply cannot think of any other way to express my joy and love to you!

Bai Mo suddenly tightened his grip and slammed his fingers down hard on Manaka's head.

"It hurts, but darling, if this is how you like it, I'm more than willing..."

"Alright, shut up."

Bai Mo pressed down on her head, and he felt his breathing become difficult and his blood pressure soar. He originally thought that this girl's mental illness had reached its lowest point and there was no room for it to worsen, but he did not expect that she could still dig into the ground.

"Do you want to hear what you're saying? Have you finally gone mad? I should have just sent you back to Chaldea... Never mind, can you even go back now?"

"Hehe, darling, what are you talking about? Going back?"

Manaka tilted her head, a sweet smile on her face, yet also a hint of something eerie. Bai Mo took out the pointer in his hand, pulled Manaka back, and sighed, saying:

"This thing can probably only carry one person. When you get back, tell Gilgamesh and Arcueid that I'm fine here. If I'm lucky, I'll ask Ereshkigal to bring me back."

If you're unlucky, you'll just have to wait until Tiamat wakes up and go out with her.

Although Enlil didn't chase after her, it wouldn't be surprising if he showed up at any time. If Manaka were left behind, she'd probably be doomed, so it's better for her to stay.

Not wanting to hear Manaka speak, Bai Mo shoved the pointer into her hand, then pressed down on her tiny thumb and snapped the pointer in half without hesitation.

But... nothing happened.

"Ha?"

Bai Mo was stunned.

Manaka gently held Bai Mo's hand, her voice as soft as honey, and softly stroked it, saying:

"My dear, this is Tiamat's prison. There's no way to leave here. I was just about to fall into a deep sleep when you unexpectedly came to my side."

When hardship comes in, love flies out the window.

We are truly the best proof to refute this old saying!

Even in this situation, you still care about me. I love you so much!
