62 The song coming from the sea of ​​imaginary numbers

The Sun God Shamash, coupled with some other gods who didn't become Uruk's enemies and were spared, stayed at the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers and tried their best to stop the approaching Goddes Tiamat.

But after a month, the Primal mother of the ocean of chaos still broke through their line of release, opened the gap in the world and stepped into it.

The gap in strength was still too big.

Although to be honest, Luo Wei was even surprised that it could be delayed for so long.

"Little En... let's go!"

In the cold underworld, blue flames intertwined and reflected, and the ground trembled slightly because of the sudden terrifying presence.

Luo Wei coughed softly and looked at Enkidu. "We can't let that guy Goldie deal with it alone."

Anyway a battle against Tiamat was nothing for him now.

He was going to die anyway, so he wasn't afraid of death, them why did he hesitate?

"But Luo Wei's body..." Little En was worried and hesitant.

"It doesn't matter, I can't die." He said nonchalantly: "Also you will protect me anyway, right?"

"Well -" The green-haired beauty nodded and no longer thought about it: "But, hold me tightly like this."

She held Luo Wei's hand, her delicate face full of seriousness.

The latter did not refuse.

"Me! I will help too!" Elli said hurriedly: "If necessary, I will look for a suitable opportunity from the underworld to take action!"

Although the goddess of the underworld was trembling slightly, which was from the fear of her creator god, but she still suppressed this fear for Luo Wei.

"Then let's go!" Luo Wei nodded: "Elli, first send me back to the present world, into my body..."

"Then, let's stop Tiamat!"

...

"Aaaaaa!!!"

The clearly perceptible sounds coming from the depths of the imaginary space were getting closer and louder.

Of course, except for the sound no one could figure out what was happening after all, most people couldn't see it directly.

The most they could see was that the sky in the direction of the distant sea was becoming redder and redder, like fire, spreading, and the deepest part also turning into deep darkness.

But in the eyes of Luo Wei, who returned to the present world, under the crimson sky and in the hollow of the vast sea, it was clear that there was a huge figure slowly approaching.

The approaching figure was bigger than the Bull of Heaven, heavier than Humbaba, more sacred than the gods, yet more terrifying than death without the comfort of a goddess.

Tiamat.

The creator god of Mesopotamia.

In the world long ago, the god Ea, who appeared as the power of planet rotation, split the chaotic atmosphere and stabilized the environment.

What followed was the birth of Tiamat, the Sea of ​​Chaos.

She was the primordial sea that gave birth to all things, and was the common mother of all gods.

Whether it was rocks, flames, forests, thunder, or storms... everything was evolved by Tiamat under its own authority.

But in the end, the gods abandoned her.

In the primitive world, for their own ambitions, they attacked and killed the Primordial Mother.

They divided the body of the Original Mother and split the original Sea of ​​Chaos into two, creating heaven and earth.

But as the original god, Tiamat's soul was immortal, so the gods had no choice but to banish her soul to the endless sea of ​​imaginary numbers, hoping to trap her forever.

However, it was also at that time that the gods received revelation from the world——

Tiamat would eventually return.

This was what they had been fearing for a long time.

And now, the prophecy arrived.

But it was not the gods who greeted Tiamat, but the humans who sent the gods away with their own hands!

The ship of bright stars shined by.

On the edge of the vast blue curling sea, on the sand dunes bordering the earth, a chaotic undercurrent gradually formed.

Gilgamesh, who was riding in the lead, jumped from the sky boat.

The King of Uruk, who was still convening his ministers to deal with matters in his palace, immediately ordered his subordinate officials to close the doors tightly when he noticed something strange, and then rushed over——

Luo Wei had already informed about Tiamat's arrival before.

So everyone was prepared mentally and physically.

But not for fighting.

Because this was not a battle that belonged to them, but to Gilgamesh, Luo Wei, Enkidu, and even Ishtar Rin and Elli.

The sea breeze blew, and the clear but terrifying voice rushed to his face.

Gilgamesh's face was full of seriousness as he fell from the ship of stars.

"Tiamat..." After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly said loudly: "Can a dying wild dog still have the strength to bark?"

In the lush woods behind him, a voice sounded: "Ahem, cough, cough...at least I won't have a problem scolding you."

The slanting sunlight shone clear in patches, and Enkidu walked out of the forest, stepping on the soft gravel with her bare feet, and walked among the swaying robes.

She didn't speak; she just came closer and put down Luo Wei in her arms, who had just spoken.

Although the weak Luo Wei had not weakened in strength, his physical weakness made him have to rely on Enkidu to carry out long-distance attacks in an instant.

"Sick dogs should lie in their own kennels, otherwise your ugly crawling will only make people laugh..."

"That's almost it." Luo Wei rolled his eyes: "Be careful if I beat you again."

Gilgamesh's face twitched slightly.

This sentence was as effective as saying to the Jade Emperor in Journey to the West that you were beaten by a monkey.

"And you think everyone can fly as well as you!" Luo Wei said plausibly.

Gilgamesh swept his scarlet eyes over the hands that the two of them still held tightly after putting them down, and the corners of his mouth raised an inexplicable arc.

"Hahaha...Are you envious? If you beg me, with my magnanimity, it might not be impossible for this kind to share my ride with you!"

"That's not necessary." Luo Wei refused: "I'm afraid that I'll be beaten to death, if I were to go out -"

Wait, thinking about it... Wouldn't it be better to just grab the Star Boat before?

He fell into deep thought.

But at the same time, a clear voice sounded from the other side: "Ah... I finally caught up with you!"

"You guys why don't you wait for me?"

Ishtar Rin fell from the air, her body wrapped in a red coat slowly touched the ground with her toes, and she flicked her long black hair.

As a goddess, she originally stayed in her temple, but after hearing the sound, she couldn't help but come.

"I thought you, a goddess who is greedy for life and afraid of death, had already escaped!" Gilgamesh said disdainfully.

"How is that possible? I, the goddess, still have a debt to settle with this guy!" The goddess did not look at Gilgamesh, but glanced at Luo Wei a few times and withdrew her gaze.

"This goddess is only here for the treasure this guy promised me, and I am not worried about his safety. Don't get me wrong!"

The goddess was as 'proud' as ever.

But Luo Wei noticed something at Ishtar's feet at the same time.

Mou!

Amidst the low and tiny buzzing, the little white elephant trembled and hid behind the goddess, shivering.

Although it looked completely different from before, Luo Wei knew that this little guy was the Bull of Heaven who had been conquered by Ishtar Rin before.

He is originally owned by the goddess Ishtar.

Now that Ishtar was gone, it was natural for Ishtar Rin to take over.

Luo Wei had seen it several times during this period - although he didn't know why, he felt that this guy seemed to be more and more afraid of him.

It was during this exchange that there was new movement on the other side of the sea, where the crimson color was smeared.

First there were a few clear sounds, and then there was the ethereal echoing cry, which suddenly became more intense.

coming--

Everyone knew the implications of this change.

Tiamat was coming.

In the depths of the sea of ​​imaginary numbers opposite the pitch-black void, on the majestic sea surface smeared with crimson...

"Is that the primordial goddess Tiamat?" Gilgamesh's eyes widened slightly.

But he found... that he couldn't see clearly.

Even with the highest level of clairvoyance, it was difficult to clearly see the huge figure that appeared.

Just like he had previously been unable to see clearly the traces of Luo Wei because of the distance, even though the young and strong Gilgamesh was perfect in displaying his strength.

But according to what Luo Wei knew, compared to him in his later years, Gilgamesh at this time still lacked enough years and lacked a mature and stable spirituality.

And the Clairvoyant Eyes were a manifestation of this spirituality. On the path of observation and wisdom,

Gilgamesh was not as good as his older self.

That's why it wasn't possible to see clearly.

Neither Enkidu, who didn't have Clairvoyant Eyes, nor Ishtar Rin could see clearly.

All they could see was a massive shadow.

But Luo Wei saw it clearly..

Perhaps it was because he had revealed the true form of the 'Key to the Sky'.

As a manifestation of the power of the god Ea's creation, the power he possessed was not inferior to the primordial god Tiamat in essence.

So, he was the only one at the scene who could see her appearance clearly.

The only one who could look directly at the primordial goddess—

From bottom to top, his eyes scanned the slender legs that were covered in deep blue dragon scales and intertwined.

At first glance, Tiamat wasn't terrifying nor sacred.

She had hair like water, which cascaded down like a vast waterfall.

Large dragon horns extended and spiraled on both sides, acting like a magnificent crown that framed her delicate face.

Her shoulders were covered in dragon scales, her chest bore the gentle features of motherhood, her abdomen was flat with patterns that resembled the primordial sea, and her intertwined legs gave way to a deep, undulating, rounded shape.

A long dragon tail, also covered in deep blue scales, extended from them and gently swayed.

The goddess hovered above the sea's surface, her pink eyes seeming to contain starlight.

The sound of the sea's tide continued.

The crisp calls sounded melodious, like a song.

Luo Wei clearly saw Tiamat.

He watched her as she hummed softly in the sea.

And at that moment... she looked at him.

As she displayed an inexplicable expression.

As if saying...

"Finally found you."
