That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

All around is clear seawater, with no seabed and no surface in sight. What you can see are endless, luminous marine life swimming in the water, each one more beautiful than any oceanographer could imagine, like animals that have come out of the Triassic period.

Hall looked down at his own body, which, like the surrounding sea creatures, had become transparent.

"Where to go next...?"

The luring consciousness roamed the ocean. Hall reached out to touch the glowing marine creatures but passed right through them. Instead, these glowing marine creatures interacted and preyed on each other like living things.

"This is the most primitive life system in the world. These life forms existed in an era earlier than dinosaurs. Perhaps they are their souls, or perhaps they are the traces of life they left behind."

"That's incredible."

Hall was amazed.

“Aaaaaaaaaa~~”

"Aaaaa!"

A gentle and melodious song came from the deeper part of the sea.

Hall experienced an incredible feeling, his soul was enveloped by a warm sense of embrace, as if he were being summoned, and for a moment Hall had the idea of ​​staying here forever.

At that moment, Hall felt a strong sense of unease and came to his senses.

Hall looked down at his right hand as the light gradually faded.

What awakened Hall was the magic power flowing continuously from the Star Cup. Without the power of the Star Cup, Hall's soul would probably have merged into this sea of ​​life the moment he heard the song, becoming able to touch those glowing creatures, and also being preyed upon by them.

Tiamat is there, in the deepest part of this sea of ​​life.

Hall realized what was happening and consciously began to sink.

Gradually, Hall moved away from the light and away from the shallow waters where marine life existed.

The deeper he sank, the stronger the rejection he felt in his consciousness became. The power of the Star Cup filled Hall's body, like a star falling into darkness.

Finally, Hall saw the being submerged at the very bottom of the Sea of ​​Life: Tiamat, the Mother Goddess of Creation.

He was speechless for a moment, his gaze fixed on Tiamat.

Her beauty is beyond description; even Enkidu, who inherited the beauty of the Holy Prostitute and whose beauty transcends gender, is as different as a firefly compared to the bright moon.

Purely conceptual beauty, because Tiamat herself is the mother goddess of creation, her existence is the most direct essence of life, and the beauty described by mankind can never exceed the scope of Tiamat.

She has long, light blue hair that shimmers like mercury, the ends of which connect to the sea of ​​life and are adorned with giant horns that symbolize the earth.

The pupils are pale pink, reflecting the inner sea of ​​the star, forming a crossed cross.

Slightly different from her appearance in the game, the Tiamat that Hall saw was wearing a light blue evening dress that covered all her snow-white skin below her neck, with her hands crossed in front of her chest and firmly fixed by chains that looked like ornaments.

Tiamat seemed oblivious to Hall's arrival, maintaining her posture with her mouth slightly open: "Aaaaaaaaa~"

Upon closer approach, the song lost its peculiar magic, washing over Hall's soul like a raging tsunami.

Consciousness is frozen in place, unable to approach or move away.

"It possesses the same properties as the Holy Grail mud."

Hall's expression was solemn. Just as Gorgon had said, this was her domain. Not to mention humans, even Ishtar would be unable to move due to the influence of the song if they came here.

Facing Tiamat, Hall felt the same kind of oppressive feeling one would feel facing a god of war in the world of "No Game No Life".

Hall concentrated, slowly moving his arms and controlling his body to swim towards the direction of Tiamat.

The consciousness can still move thanks to the power of the Star Cup. This Sea of ​​Life exists in the gap between reality and imaginary space, where Hall can use the power of the Star Cup to a certain extent.

"I'm gradually getting used to it."

Hall used the power of the Star Cup to resist the interference from the singing and came before Tiamat.

Tiamat's pink starry eyes didn't even glance at Hall.

"I can't feel the presence of rationality."

"Although she possesses a human body, she is likely a primordial life system woven from the original world, similar to the seventy-two demon gods."

"Judging from the plot, it retains a certain degree of intelligence."

Hall stretched out his right hand, and a celestial cup materialized from the light. He carefully controlled the power of the celestial cup to contact this primordial system that was giving birth to life.

If the Star Cup is the sun, then Tiamat is a nuclear bomb, which could potentially trigger a chain reaction if not handled carefully.

Although it was dangerous, Hall couldn't think of any other way to contact Tiamat besides the Star Cup.

Hall's true purpose in coming to the Seventh Singularity was to use the power of the Star Cup to corrupt the original life system called Tiamat.

Seemingly sensing the power emanating from the Star Cup, Tiamat finally reacted, ceasing her singing, lowering her head slightly, and gazing indifferently at the Star Cup radiating brilliant light.

Feed the Holy Grail to Tiamat!

It's hard to find pictures of Ti Ma, and even harder to find ones that can pass the review.

Tiamat... truly, Tiamat is the Holy Grail.

Chapter 371 A Slap

Tiamat

The womb of creation, the paradise that nurtures life systems, is humanity's original sin to abandon it.

Once Earth's ecosystem was established, Tiamat, who only randomly designed life, became a mere obstacle. In order to maintain stability and avoid being eliminated, the life system had no choice but to banish the Mother Goddess of Creation to the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers.

The reason is as simple as cooking a dog after the rabbit is caught.

As a human being, Hall is burdened with the original sin of abandoning Paradise. His scale and form of existence are destined to be incomparable to Tiamat, and he is simply regarded as one in seven billion.

Just as ants and humans cannot communicate or understand each other.

To establish contact with Tiamat, the primordial system that gave birth to life, one must possess power that surpasses even Tiamat's.

The only power that Hall possesses that does not belong to this world, and is equal to or even above the power of Tiamat, is the Star Grail.

If Tiamat is the system that gives birth to life, then the Star Cup is a more complex and powerful system that gives birth to the world.

After the Star Cup appeared, Hall finally sensed the presence of intelligence from the primordial life system called Tiamat, or rather, the life instinct that drives Tiamat.

That is possessiveness.

Her intense interest in the Star Cup was evident in her star-like eyes, which reflected the inner sea of ​​stars.

"Primitive yet vast, simple yet complex."

Hall's soul merged with the Star Grail, attempting to make contact with Tiamat, perceive its form of existence, and manipulate the power of the Star Grail to flow into Tiamat's spirit origin, that is, this sea of ​​life.

Hall has proven that a small amount of the power of the Star Grail can be used in this world. As long as a world with the same direction as the Star Grail is created, more of the Star Grail's power can be used without affecting the world's origin.

In terms of process, it is similar to a magician creating a "prophetic barrier".

Tiamat was considered by Hall to be one of the best vessels.

Hall wanted to create a summoning system that transcended the throne of gods, based on the Sea of ​​Life, with the Star Grail providing an unlimited amount of magic power, allowing one to summon contracted gods or heroic spirits at will.

Seemingly sensing the influence of the Star Cup's power, Tiamat's extremely beautiful face showed a hint of hesitation and doubt.

"It's a bit rushed."

Hall felt a pang of anxiety and reduced the output of the Star Cup's power, instead using the Star Cup to release a signal of goodwill.

The Star Cup emitted a faint light and slowly floated in front of Tiamat.

She hesitated for a long time, but finally could not resist the temptation of the Star Cup. She untied the chains binding her gloves and gently held the Star Cup in her arms.

“Aaaaaaaaa~”

For a moment, Hall was somewhat taken aback, then understood the fundamental reason why Tiamat did this.

It wasn't because she wanted the Star Cup; she seemed to see it as a threat to the world.

While accepting the Star Cup, they also use their own power to protect it.

Hall, whose soul was one with the Star Grail, felt a gentle and expansive sense of inclusiveness, and the existence system of the Tiamat god established a connection with the Star Grail.

Seemingly sensing the connection between the Star Cup and Hall, Tiamat raised her head, her star-like eyes fixed on Hall in front of her, tilting her head slightly, her pink eyes reflecting a mixture of curiosity and doubt.

“Aaaaaaaa~”

Hall met his gaze calmly.

Originally, Hall intended to establish contact with Tiamat through the Great Cup of Uruk, but now, through the Gorgon contract, he has made early contact with this creator goddess.

Although the process went smoothly, obtaining Tiamat through a "contract" was far more difficult than Hall had imagined.

She is merely an unknown being who creates life, an existence whose rationality is uncertain, acting in accordance with the instincts of life yet possessing a more complex reaction system.

"The only thing we can do now is to keep using the power of the Star Cup to erode her spirit foundation, but we have no way of accurately calculating the time required."

"If we obtain Uruk's Great Cup, it should greatly accelerate the erosion process."

Hall pondered for a moment, then decided on his next course of action: leave the Star Cup here to establish a connection with the god Tiamat, while simultaneously withdrawing his consciousness from this Sea of ​​Life and guiding it back to his body through the Gorgon contract.

In some mysterious way, Hall's consciousness connects with the vengeful goddess Gorgon.

"To be able to maintain consciousness after encountering your mother in the Sea of ​​Life, I'll give you a round of praise, little bug. What did you do to your mother?"

Why ask this question?

"I share my senses with my mother. I can feel a strange power flowing into my body, incredibly powerful and immeasurably profound. What is that...?"

"The power of the Star Cup".

"Star Cup?"

"Similar to the Holy Grail, but with billions of times more power. If you make a wish to it, it can even do things like restarting the universe."

"Are you kidding me?"

“You’re not the only one who’s said that, but since you’ve also established a connection with the Star Cup, you should be able to sense that I’m not lying.”

"..."

"Why would a human like you possess such incredible power?"

"You'll find out the secret someday."

······

Consciousness returned to his body, and Hall suddenly woke up with a start, feeling a burning pain on his cheek. When he opened his eyes, he saw Olga Marie sitting on him, her pretty face flushed with a hint of shyness but mostly with anger, raising her hand to prepare for a second slap.
