Beast hunting
With a cold glint in his eyes, Bai Mo took a deep breath, adjusting himself to his best condition, ready for battle at any moment. Although Uruk was unharmed, the Manaka before him was likely an even more troublesome opponent than the Thirteenth Grand Protector.
He knew the Thirteenth Grand Protector ' personalities very well, but as for this mentally ill person, heaven knows what she was thinking.
Bai Mo slowly descended before Manaka, while Arcueid, in the distance, tightly grasped the Real of the World.
Seeing Bai Mo come down, Manaka finally stopped apologizing and looked at him with teary eyes.
Bai Mo sighed deeply, his gaze still icy cold, and said, "I never expected that leaving you in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers would cause such a mess. So, what exactly are you doing?"
Whether you answer is up to you; of course, the outcome will depend on your response.
His face was dark, as if his fist would strike her face at any moment.
Manaka lowered her head, looking like a pitiful pet abandoned at the door, and began to speak:
"I... I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry."
"What do you have to apologize to me for? While I do have some interest in this Heaven and Earth Demon God, it's the result of your superior scheming. Being able to deceive Enlil and Bai Lubao is your skill."
Bai Mo wasn't actually angry about the fact that the Heaven and Earth Demon God had fallen into Manaka's hands. In the end, Bai Mo never regarded Manaka as a reliable ally, nor did he ever expect this woman to obey him.
Only a madman would believe her claim that she came to save Human Order.
The reason for this attitude is twofold. On the one hand, she released Tiamat, and whether it was voluntary or not, she definitely played a role in pushing her.
This resulted in some casualties, and a deity who loved humanity had to sacrifice herself—a responsibility she had to face.
On the other hand, given her mental state, if she were to acquire something like the Heaven and Earth Demon God, it would definitely cause enormous negative consequences.
If it were Gilgamesh or Enki the Water God who obtained the Heaven and Earth Demon God, Bai Mo would stop working and leave without hesitation. But Manaka...
It might not even be as good as Enlil or Bai Lubao.
As for using this thing as a weapon, that's just an optional choice.
In the sky, Enlil watched this scene and just smiled self-deprecatingly. Bai Mo was right; he hadn't even been able to detect the woman's soul. It was only possible that she had torn her soul so thin that it was undetectable.
This is no different from dying once.
To achieve this and regain control of one's consciousness is incredibly difficult; it would be impossible without an extremely strong will.
He's not someone who can't accept defeat. While there were favorable circumstances, success itself is a testament to his ability.
Hearing this, Manaka shook her head and explained:
"It's not because of this body, it's just that I was so overjoyed to be reunited with you that I forgot the mistakes I made... I'm so sorry, I left you for so long. How negligent of me, making you wait for so long."
Therefore, it's only natural that you'd ignore me; I despise myself for it.
Upon hearing this, Bai Mo felt a chill run down his spine.
Sure enough, he couldn't understand this woman's way of thinking at all. He took a step back, and the girl in front of him, barefoot on the mud, stepped forward lightly and said:
"As for the results you mentioned... don't even think about that. You belong to me, and of course, I belong to you too. Everything is yours."
As she said this, Manaka placed one hand on her chest and stretched out the other, saying, "Now, I can fulfill all your requests, whether it's taking care of your work, having a companion to travel with you, or even weapons..."
As she said this, Manaka plunged her five fingers directly into her own chest, and the sound of bones breaking and flesh tearing filled the air. A gaping hole was ripped open in the girl's chest, like an unpacked bag of potato chips.
Beneath the flesh and blood, a pale, jade-like hilt lay hidden, beneath which was an incomparably sharp blade, gleaming with a cold light. Manaka leaned down, placing her chest at the same height as Bai Mo's hand.
She smiled sweetly and said, "Look, I can even be used as a weapon. Why don't you pull me out and try it out? After all, I don't know your habits, so you need to work on me and make me the shape that suits you."
"No need, that's disgusting."
He drew his Mad Giant Shark and kept his distance from Manaka. Seeing this, Manaka's gaze darkened, and she said, "Are you still angry with me? Of course, but at least let me make amends for this mistake."
Hearing Manaka's words, Bai Mo remained expressionless and refused without hesitation:
"You haven't done anything to wrong me; after all, our paths only crossed temporarily because of the roads. I'm standing before you now simply to make you take responsibility for the trouble you've caused."
Looking at Manaka's outstretched hand, Bai Mo didn't react at all, and said, "Just like I said before, after you've resolved the Uruk matter, please go back to Chaldea, and it would be best if everything returned to the way it was at the beginning."
I have a lot of things to do, I don't have time to play prince and princess games with you.
Upon hearing this, Manaka froze on the spot. As for this girl, Bai Mo only wanted to send her back to where she came from as soon as possible. As for those who had died, Bai Mo could only risk being blamed by Ereshkigal and use the authority of the Underworld to revive them.
Uruk has already endured too much war; I guess I'm just unlucky, and I hope this all ends quickly.
Hearing Bai Mo's ultimatum, Manaka froze. Her lips trembled, and her voice quivered as she said:
"A game, our meeting was just a game? Heh, is that so? Did I... disappoint you to this extent?"
In an instant, a strange power surged forth, and the sky seemed to be burning fiercely. The girl shed crystal tears, but a dangerous smile appeared on her face.
"In that case, even if it takes force, I will keep you by my side. In the long future, I will spend eternity to make it up to you."
Please wait a moment, please allow me to perfect this body first.
"Perfect?" Upon hearing this, both Enlil and Martial God Space, who shared a mutual respect with Kebao Bai Lubao, showed expressions of doubt. Manaka slowly raised her hand and said:
"I really wasted so much time before I even gained the power. Actually, this work was wrong from the start. It wanted to use a world as a blueprint to create life, but it missed the most crucial point, which gave me the opportunity to take advantage of it."
The key to this world isn't just heaven and earth, but also humanity. The best material is the Beast, which is Evil of Humanity.
Upon hearing this, Cathy Palug, who was on Bai Mo's body, poked her head out with a look of horror.
"Fu... Fu?" (What, what did you do?)
The world was distorted, and the heavens and earth were changed. With a smile, Manaka said gently to Bai Mo, "Don't worry, you don't need to risk your life anymore. You just need to stay by my side. With the power of this body and the Beasts here..."
Burn the Quantum Time-Lock, and turn this place into ours alone...
At that moment, a sudden change occurred!
Her words came to an abrupt halt, her smile froze instantly, and the girl stared at her own body with disbelief.
Suddenly, she was struck by several stabs; the gleaming blades pierced her body, piercing through her torso and limbs. The Heaven and Earth Demon God instantly became as still as a puppet with its strings cut.
When!
Everyone was shocked; no one could tell where the knife came from or when it fell.
Then, to everyone's astonishment—
A girl in a gorgeous kimono, with long hair reaching her ankles, appeared behind Manaka at some point. She rested her beautiful face on Manaka's shoulder, smiled gently, pinched Manaka's cheek, and said:
"Manaka, you're having a lot of fun here, aren't you? That's so unfair! You didn't even tell me about this. I considered you my good friend."
