Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

Li Xuan's explanation was too strange for Fujimaru Ritsuka. How could it be possible that letting humans and gods die was for their own good?

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, you have to understand that gods and humans are different after all. They look at everything from a different perspective than humans do."

Gilgamesh saw Fujimaru Ritsuka's confusion and explained. In Mesopotamian mythology, no human being understood the difference between humans and gods better than he, who was one-third human and two-thirds god.

"Ritsuka, think about the Lion King Altria you met in Camelot, the Sacred Round Table Realm in the previous singularity. After she determined that humanity's extinction was inevitable, she selected a few pure humans to protect. This overbearing behavior is due to her being a god transformed from humans. As for what more pure gods think, you can look at Elly and Quetzalcoatl, who joined the Three Goddesses Alliance. They both planned to exterminate humanity for the sake of humanity."

Ritsuka Fujimaru was a little dumbfounded and couldn't help but complain a few words.

"Because they love humans so much, they want to destroy them in advance. I really can't understand the thoughts of gods at all."

"This is easy to understand. In the Age of Gods, the gods had a different view of life and death. Elle deeply loves humans, who will one day die, so she wants to kill all of them and protect them in the underworld. In her own way, she protects the civilization of Uruk. Even if Tiamat and her beasts, Lahmu, ravage the earth, Uruk will continue to exist in the underworld."

Quetzalcoatl also holds high hopes for humanity. She believes that, while not yet capable, in the distant future, through self-discipline and mutual competition, humanity will flourish, spread across the world, and become wealthy and prosperous. She wishes to witness humanity's future growth, a benevolent deity who holds a compassionate heart and guides it toward prosperity. True to legend, she is a benevolent deity. Whether those who believe in her or those who turn against her, she fundamentally believes they should be protected for the future, not slaughtered indiscriminately. However, her principles of thought and scope of existence are still those of a god. She sees things differently from humans, and sometimes acts that could be considered cruel and brutal."

"This is exactly what Quetzalcoatl did when he joined the Three Goddesses Alliance. This was a test she placed on humanity. If they passed, she would be willing to help them fight against the goddess of creation, Tiamat. If they failed, her protection would protect them from extinction. She possessed a deep, yet deeply twisted love for humanity."

"Just like them, Tiamat did not think that there was anything wrong with what she did, that she was destroying her children. In her view, the world is a cycle, a reincarnation. Tiamat created a mature ecosystem through the Sea of Life, and then the ecosystem returned to the Sea of Life, repeating the cycle. An ecosystem began to grow and develop from its birth to its peak, and then declined and withered, returning to the Sea of Life, and so on. With each reincarnation, Tiamat and her children will become more and more powerful, and the essence of life will be further improved. So how could Tiamat think that such a good thing is not possible? This is her essence as a dragon snake, and it is also the way she grows and develops. It is impossible for Tiamat to go against her own essence. The more powerful the dragon snake, the simpler it is, and the closer its behavior is to its own essence, and the probability of change is almost zero."

Chapter 343 Gilgamesh's Choice

"That's the truth. We understand the Mother Goddess's thoughts and ideas, but it's impossible for us to obey her. Whether humans or gods, they all stand on their own side."

Ailei saw this matter very clearly. No matter whether it was human or god, as long as there was a life, it must have the instinct to survive. This determined that the contradiction between them and the goddess of creation Tiamat could not be changed. After all, in Tiamat's eyes, no matter how the life of Mesopotamia changed, they were all her children, but humans and gods would not accept this result.

"Thus, although I deeply regret being treated with disrespect to the Mother Goddess Tiamat, her existence has become an obstacle to life's acquisition of intelligence appropriate to this planet. Therefore, in the past, gods, humans, and all the gods of Mesopotamia exiled her from this world, and the same is true today. Her existence is a danger to humans, gods, and the entirety of Mesopotamian mythology. Therefore, her suppression and expulsion are inevitable."

While Elle 583's words were somewhat harsh, they were unavoidable. She, humanity, the gods, and the entire Mesopotamian world could not find a way to peacefully coexist with the goddess of creation, Tiamat. Otherwise, the people and gods of the Mesopotamian world would not have banished Tiamat to the lifeless imaginary world long ago.

"But, is there really no possibility at all? Li Xuan, do you have any solution?"

As an ordinary, emotional high school girl, Fujimaru Ritsuka feels very sympathetic towards Tiamat's experience and does not want Tiamat to suffer such a tragic fate forever.

"Of course, Ritsuka, you're underestimating me. You have to understand that Genyuan and I are on the same level. Isn't this a simple matter? But is this really okay? What do you think?"

In response to Li Xuan's question, Elle, Ishtar, Quetzalcoatl and Merlin had no objection. If Tiamat could stop creating new life, then it would not be a bad idea for them to continue to live in peace with Tiamat. In any case, Tiamat was also the mother goddess of creation in Mesopotamian mythology, and her status was very high. If there were no reasons for hostility related to life, Ishtar and Elle would still respect Tiamat very much.

After everyone expressed their opinions, everyone's eyes stayed on the wise king Gilgamesh. On the seventh singularity, the absolute monster front, Tiamat's real threat was to humans, and had little to do with the alliance of the three goddesses, so they could easily make a decision. But Gilgamesh was different, because of Tiamat and the Gorgon who possessed her power, Uruk suffered heavy losses. As the king of this land, Gilgamesh could not easily agree to give up the hatred between Uruk and the mother goddess of creation Tiamat. Otherwise, it would undoubtedly be a betrayal of his people who fought bloody battles, were not afraid of sacrifice, and believed in him.

So the wise king Gilgamesh thought for a long time, and his frown finally relaxed, and he made his own decision in his heart.

"I want to know one thing: was the attack on Uruk and the Mesopotamian world based on the will of the goddess of creation, Tiamat?"

This is what the wise king Gilgamesh wants to know most. Although he possesses extremely powerful clairvoyance and the treasure of the Omniscient Star, Gilgamesh is unable to see the specific information of the Mother Goddess of Creation Tiamat.

So he wanted to know Tiamat's thoughts through Li Xuan. What motivated Tiamat's series of actions? Was it hatred for Uruk and all life in the Mesopotamian world, or was it fulfilling her duty to her local area? If it was the former, then Gilgamesh, as the king of Uruk, would definitely seek justice for his people, even if it meant facing the creator goddess Tiamat. If it was the latter, then Gilgamesh could let bygones be bygones and the current feud between Uruk and the creator goddess Tiamat.

Gilgamesh's next choice depended on Li Xuan's answer, but what he didn't expect was that Li Xuan gave him an answer he had thought of before.

"Neither, Gilgamesh."

"No, what's the point?"

Gilgamesh was puzzled. Apart from these two reasons, what other reasons could Tiamat have for her actions?

"The answer is simple. It's instinct, the purest instinct."

"instinct?"

Gilgamesh frowned. Wasn't this the second possibility he mentioned?

"Tiamat's actions weren't driven by instinct; rather, she was left with only instinct."

Li Xuan also knew Gilgamesh's doubts and gave his own explanation.

"The Imaginary Dimension is not a good place. There's no life there. Tiamat was exiled there, left alone. She had previously suffered collective betrayal from her children, and had become withdrawn. Having lived in the Imaginary Dimension for so long, her intellect had long since fallen dormant. Otherwise, even if Merlin, the Grand Candidate Magician, had personally taken action, how could he have kept the Mother Goddess of Creation Tiamat in such a peaceful slumber? She simply didn't want to wake up and face the harsh reality."

"As a representative of motherhood, the betrayal of her child was too cruel for her. Therefore, Tiamat's intellect remained dormant, and her body, which moved outside, was merely acting in accordance with divine instinct."

"And even if only instinct remains, Tiamat, as a mother, still possesses the ability to seal herself. Although she laments and mourns the fact that humanity unconsciously no longer needs you and has exiled you, her deep consciousness accepts it as something she cannot help but accept."

"Its root lies in the desire of Mother Tiamat, even to the very end, to be a protector of humanity. This self-seal is its embodiment. Tiamat, the Mother Goddess of Creation, often seals herself. The pain is equivalent to giving herself half of her strength each turn. In the extremely rare case that Tiamat's body loses its mind and tries to emerge from the sea, the seal will increase the instantaneous damage to 90% as a warning."

Chapter 344: Tiamat Regains Her Intellect

"Now that you've said that, how can I continue to blame the Mother Goddess Tiamat?"

Gilgamesh was speechless. Although Li Xuan did not say it explicitly, he was talking about Tiamat's grief at being betrayed and her helplessness in this incident. How could he have the nerve to continue to argue with Tiamat about the damage she had caused?

He didn't care about the affairs of the gods, but it was also true that the humans of this land had betrayed Tiamat, the Mother Goddess. While there were reasons for this, Gilgamesh wouldn't argue. Betrayal was betrayal, a sin humanity must bear if it wanted to move forward.

The destruction caused by Tiamat this time was just an unconscious follow-up of instinct. It can be said that it was just a tool used by the real mastermind Goetia to destroy human nature and stop Chaldea. Gilgamesh has not stooped to such a level as to attribute all the sins to a tool.

So overall, Gilgamesh still recognized Tiamat as the creator goddess of the Mesopotamian world. In this case, he must respect Tiamat as the mother of all life in the Mesopotamian world. It is also reasonable to let Li Xuan help Tiamat wake up.

"Great! In that case, we won't have to fight Tiamat."

Hearing the answer from the wise king Gilgamesh, Fujimaru Ritsuka was very happy, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. Now they wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.

Although the others did not want to attack Tiamat, they could not simply ignore the opinions of Gilgamesh, who was the victim and the biggest victim of this Warcraft invasion, so it would be great if they could reach a consensus with Gilgamesh.

"In that case, come with me. Let's go see the true appearance of Tiamat, the Mother Goddess of Creation."

After saying that, Li Xuan took the lead and walked into the Persian Gulf waters that had been covered by the black Sea of Life. In the Sea of Life, there were also Rahm and other monsters that were roaming around because of the blockade by Li Xuan and it was very crowded.

Seeing Li Xuan coming in, they all became restless and prepared to attack him at any time.

Then, Li Xuan, Ishtar, Ailei and others also walked in, which further stimulated the monsters. They could no longer restrain their cruel and violent nature, and pounced on Li Xuan and his group, wanting to tear them all to pieces.

"Really? Tiamat's ability to design life is completely random. I don't know why she designed such an ugly thing."

Li Xuan was helpless. He waved his hand and cleared out all the Lahmu. Suddenly the Sea of Life became much quieter.

"So these are the so-called new humans? How disappointing! There's nothing to be proud of even if we defeated them, really. They're not even worthy enough to be Uruk's enemies. They're just a bunch of monsters after all."

Gilgamesh also shook his head. He had never taken this group of Lahmu seriously. Although they were very strong and each of them had the combat power of an ordinary servant, if Tiamat had not appeared, Gilgamesh could have dealt with them all by himself.

After Li Xuan got rid of Rahmu, he walked towards the place where Tiamat's magic was. With every step he took forward, the Sea of Life in the Persian Gulf retreated a little. As Li Xuan moved forward, the waters of the Persian Gulf gradually regained the blue color it should have, and the black Sea of Life continued to gather towards Tiamat.

This is also Li Xuan's purpose. He wants to control Tiamat's local area and prevent her from continuing to create various lives. Naturally, he must first restrain her sea of life.

Although the Persian Gulf was vast, it didn't take long for Li Xuan and his team to travel at such a speed. After all, they were following behind Li Xuan, and the distance between them was greatly shortened by him. So they soon saw the location of Tiamat's prosthetic body, the Daughter of Destiny.

"Is this the Creator Goddess Tiamat? She's so tall!"

Looking at the Daughter of Destiny who was dozens of meters tall, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but sigh. She had seen creatures larger than the Daughter of Destiny in other singularities, such as the giant dragons in the Hundred Years' War of Evil Dragons, but those were all magical beasts, not humanoid creatures like the Daughter of Destiny, so the feeling they gave Fujimaru Ritsuka was completely different.

Asking for flowers

"That's just the beginning, Ritsuka. You're really underestimating the goddess of creation, Tiamat. Her body isn't that small. What appears before you is only a small part of her. The real her is much larger. Look."

Li Xuan pointed his finger, revealing Tiamat's true form. It was a giant hundreds of meters tall, chanting an inexplicable song. If Li Xuan hadn't blocked the massive sound waves, they would have been enough to severely injure a rookie magus like Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"This, this is too exaggerated."

Looking at the giant in front of her who was as huge as a Titan, Fujimaru Ritsuka was dumbfounded. This was the largest humanoid creature she had ever seen. It was too exaggerated.

"That's not all. Tiamat's body also contains these seas of life. They are also part of Tiamat's body. So if Tiamat really wanted to, her body could reach the size of a country without any problem."

"A country the size of a country, can the Earth really withstand that?"

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka thought of a scientific problem. If it was a country the size of a human, how could the earth possibly bear it?

"You're already in the Age of Gods, and you still care about the unscientific nature of the divine talisman. Tiamat's weight is incalculable, and its volume is almost infinite, did you know that, Ritsuka?"

Li Xuan was a little speechless. Sometimes Fujimaru Ritsuka still couldn't escape the cognition of his past.

"I'm going to awaken Tiamat, please pay attention."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he began to continuously return the Sea of Life to Tiamat. As the last drop of the Sea of Life returned to Tiamat, her body began to shrink, and her singing voice stopped. Her previously insensible and cloudy eyes gradually regained their brightness. Finally, Tiamat returned to the size of an ordinary human. Her intellect fully awakened.

After regaining consciousness, Tiamat looked around and was momentarily stunned. She blinked. Was she still dreaming? Why had she escaped from that empty, imaginary world? Who had saved her?

Chapter 345: The Reversed Roles of Elle and Tiamat

Looking at Tiamat standing there stupidly, Ishtar and Erelei felt that their mother goddess Tiamat didn't seem very smart.

If Ishtar and the others asked Li Xuan, Li Xuan would tell them that their feeling was completely correct. Tiamat's brain was indeed not that good. In Li Xuan's opinion, her brain was not even as good as that of the Infinite Dragon God Orpheus. Although she was so powerful that even dragons were very simple, at least Orpheus could control her instincts and had indeed lived for a long time. She was just different from the world, but at least her IQ was still online.

Tiamat, however, was different. She had always followed her instincts, and had been expelled by the inhabitants of Mesopotamia into an imaginary dimension devoid of any other life. The long period of emptiness had caused her intellectual slumber, exacerbating her already limited wisdom. Li Xuan estimated that her current mental capacity was probably that of a teenager, completely lacking the acumen expected of a Mother Goddess of Creation.

After being stunned for a while, Tiamat finally saw Li Xuan and his group not far away. She originally wanted to come and see her children, but then she remembered the betrayal of all life in the Mesopotamian world. She hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do.

"come on."

Li Xuan looked at Tiamat, who was almost crying with anxiety, and couldn't help but sigh and conveyed the words into her mind.

After hearing Li Xuan's message, Tiamat immediately rushed over excitedly, hugged Li Xuan in her arms, and kept saying something, but no one else could understand what she said at all.

"AaAAAAAAaaaaaaa AaAAAAAAaaaaaaa"

Li Xuan understood what she meant. After all, the meaning behind her words was more important to him. However, this was a bit awkward. He could only break free from Tiamat's embrace and inject human language into her mind.

"Don't you want me anymore, child? Don't stop loving me......"

Tiamat seemed very sad about Li Xuan's behavior of breaking free from her arms. She felt that the child she had just accepted had now rejected her. Tears fell one by one, giving people the impression that Li Xuan bullied her.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Tiamat, I'm not your child. The others here, Gilgamesh, Ishtar, and Ere, are all your children, yes. Ritsuka and Quetzalcoatl can also be said to have some relationship with you. But I am also the God of Creation, and I came from another world, so there is no mother-son relationship between you and me."

Seeing Li Xuan's revealed divinity, Tiamat was stunned and stopped crying. It seemed that this was indeed the case. Li Xuan's divinity was indeed as he said. As a fellow Creator God, he naturally could not be her child. But this made Tiamat feel a little depressed. She was aware of the aura of the Mesopotamian world emanating from Ishtar and Ere. However, she had not minded their betrayal before, but she did not know whether they still resisted her existence as before, so she did not dare to get close to them. For a moment, she did not know what to do. She did not want to go to Ishtar and the others, fearing that they would still resist her. What would she do then?

Looking at Tiamat who was complaining about herself again, Li Xuan felt a little headache. He signaled to Ere and Ishtar with his eyes, asking them to say something. After all, at this time, only they, as the gods of the Mesopotamian world, could solve Tiamat's worries.

"Mother Goddess, don't worry. Now that your Sea of Life is sealed, we won't reject you anymore. You can live your life in Mesopotamia without any worries. I promise that no one will disturb your life anymore."

After Ailei understood what Li Xuan meant, she also reacted, strode to Ishtar, and gently hugged her, telling Tiamat not to worry, that no one would resist her now, and Tiamat could live peacefully in the Mesopotamian world.

This is true. If it weren't for Tiamat's infamous Sea of Life ability, no one would bother her, the Mother Goddess of Creation, unless they were desperate. If Tiamat hadn't shown any willingness to fight, even the combined might of all the gods in Mesopotamia wouldn't have been able to expel her into the imaginary dimension.

But the creatures in the Mesopotamian world had no choice, because Tiamat's Sea of Life constantly created new life and destroyed the existing ecosystem. Whether it was humans or gods, if they did not want to be eliminated and replaced, then the only way out was to expel Tiamat.

"really?"

Tiamat, who was originally grieving, was delighted after hearing what Elle said. She stared at Elle with sparkling eyes, looking incredulous. Then she realized what was happening.

"Of course it's true, Mother Goddess, don't worry."

Ailei patted Tiamat's back gently, soothing the uneasy Tiamat and letting her mood gradually calm down.

"This scene is indeed very heartwarming, but why do I always feel like there's something wrong with this image? It's so strange, what exactly is wrong?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru felt a little confused. Was there something wrong? She felt that the scene in front of her was very awkward.

"Of course this isn't right, Ritsuka. Don't you think that the roles of Elei and Tiamat are reversed? Tiamat is the creator goddess of the Mesopotamian world. In other words, Tiamat can be said to be Elei's mother. But now it seems like Elei is acting as a mother, comforting her anxious daughter. It's definitely strange." 2.9

This is the fact. Although Tiamat is the mother, in terms of pure intelligence, Elei is much more mature than her.

"Yes, that's right. I was wondering why it looked a little strange. So that's how it is. Elle looks more like the mother, and Tiamat has become the daughter."

Fujimaru Ritsuka finally understood what was wrong with him and couldn't help feeling very comfortable. Besides, wasn't the scene before him very interesting?

Quetzalcoatl, Anna, and Merlin shared the same sentiment, finding the interaction between Elei and Tiamat quite amusing. However, Ishtar and Gilgamesh couldn't be so indifferent. As members of the Mesopotamian world, they found the scene before them so jarring that they were at a loss for words.

Chapter 346 The Whereabouts of the Holy Grail

"Hey, my sea of life is sealed? What happened? Who sealed it?"

After communicating with Elle for a while, Tiamat finally realized that her power was sealed. When she heard Elle's answer before, she was too excited and did not listen carefully to Elle's speech. Now that such a long time has passed, she remembered why she did not continue to create new life.

"Of course it's me. Besides me, who else here has the ability to seal your power?"

"why?"

Tiamat was a little puzzled. Why did Li Xuan seal his power?

"Because if your power is not sealed, the other people in the Mesopotamian world will never accept your existence. If you want to get along well with them, then don't think about creating a new species. Do you understand?"

"I-I know."

Tiamat replied aggrievedly, though she still didn't understand why. But since Li Xuan had said so, she decided to give up the power of the Sea of Life. She didn't want to be rejected by her children again. "In that case, this singularity is complete."

Seeing that everything was resolved, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but sigh. With Li Xuan's help, their journey to the singularity was smooth sailing, and they easily solved this last singularity. However, Fujimaru Ritsuka was also a little embarrassed, wondering if he had forgotten something.

"The Holy Grail, Senior, the Holy Grail of this singularity has not yet been found."

Ritsuka Fujimaru had forgotten, but Mashu still remembered, so she reminded him carefully in a low voice.

"Oh! Yeah, where's the Holy Grail? Where did the Holy Grail of this singularity go?"

After hearing Mashu's reminder, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally remembered where the core Holy Grail that every singularity possessed had gone.
