Type-Moon Demon King exploded Elle's gold coins at the beginning!

"My Goddess, do you want a family? Just say you do, and I'll find you one right now."

"Eh?!"

Upon hearing this, Ai Lei, who was working, stumbled and almost fell.

She turned her head, looking at Li Lin with disbelief, her lips trembling as she stammered, unable to utter a word.

Home, family?!

Are you talking about me?

Does he mean he wants me to become his family?!

This is so sudden!

A blush gradually crept onto Ai Lei's fair face, and her beautiful eyes began to dart around as she replied softly.

"Um, isn't our relationship moving a little too fast?"

"I think it would be better to spend more time together..."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Li Lin walked over and looked at Ereshkigal, who was talking to himself, with a puzzled expression.

"Uh, well, it's just... um...."

As the face drew ever closer, Ereshkigal instinctively took a step back, the words he had wanted to say stuck in his throat.

"Pfft~".

Seeing this, Li Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He found Ereshkigal's hesitant and evasive manner incredibly adorable.

Even though I really wanted to agree, I was afraid that if I refused, there wouldn't be a next time.

But the last vestige of purity in her heart prevented her from becoming as promiscuous as the detestable Ishtar.

In the end, all he could do was stand there, rubbing his fingers together in frustration.

"I'm sorry, I may not have explained it clearly just now. The family I was referring to is not actually me."

"As for who it is, you'll find out when you come with me."

Finally, Li Lin felt that it was enough, so he stopped teasing the other person and naturally recounted what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Ereshkigal's trembling body stopped shaking, and the blush on his face faded.

A kind smile appeared on her lips as she chuckled and reached out to grab Li Lin's shoulder.

"Does teasing your goddess make you happy?"

"Hehe~, I suddenly want to have some fun too. So, what do you think I should do, my subordinate judge~?!"

"Uh, actually I can explain it."

Hearing Ereshkigal's words, which were almost squeezed out between his teeth, cold sweat instantly streamed down Li Lin's face.

"Hehe~~".

Ereshkigal simply chuckled coldly and offered no reply.

Then, Li Lin's shrill screams echoed from inside the large cavern.

**************Divider**************

"Hmm? Is this the anti-summoning ritual you were talking about? It doesn't look very impressive."

Standing in front of an open space resembling a summoning circle for heroes, Ereshkigal looked at this thing, which was considered low-level in the Age of Gods, and was quite speechless.

In response, Li Lin, who had a large handprint on his face, shrugged and explained.

"Whether it's low-level or not, as long as it's useful, that's fine."

"In fact, it is quite easy for us gods to see [Mother]. We just need to follow that [fate] and use the anti-summoning ritual as an aid to see her in the form of a divided spirit."

"However, this method is forbidden throughout the entire Age of Gods, and the God-King of Storms will not allow any opportunity to revive the Mother."

"Oh? Then why are you doing this? Aren't you afraid I'll report you?"

Ereshkigal turned his head and asked with a curious look.

"No." Faced with Ai Lei's question, Li Lin shook his head decisively: "I believe that Goddess will not report me."

"Hmph, that's hard to say."

Ereshkigal crossed his arms and gave a haughty snort.

"You must know what 'Mother' means to us Sumerian gods; you can't possibly be unaware of that."

“Take your divine power for example, strictly speaking, a portion of it belongs to Mother.”

"Yes, you're absolutely right."

"But what does that have to do with me going to see my [mother]?"

Li Lin lowered his head slightly and looked at the summoning circle that had been carved on the floor in front of him.

In fact, his decision to meet Tiamat was the result of several careful considerations.

First of all, his true purpose is to absorb the power of the Seven Deadly Sins.

But compared to the hosts who possessed original sin, the God of Light he simulated was still too weak.

After all, Ishtar is the goddess of war who rules over Venus. Even a god of light like him has to avoid her. If he doesn't strengthen himself, how can he carry out subsequent work?

Secondly, Tiamat, as a potential second beast, also possesses the power of [Original Sin].

He could have taken this opportunity to absorb it and complete his enhancement mission.

Therefore, in conclusion, this journey into imaginary numbers is almost inevitable for him.

"Actually, you don't need to worry so much. I believe that Mother will absolutely not [return]."

Li Lin squatted down and placed his hand on the summoning circle.

As a massive amount of magical power was poured in, the summoning circle gradually began to glow faintly.

"As the Mother of Creation, capable of single-handedly rebuilding the entire planet's ecosystem, do you really think anyone can imprison her?"

"In the end, it's because the deeper you love, the deeper you get hurt."

"Mother is more than 90% in a state of self-imposed isolation, as for the remaining 10%..."

Li Lin turned his head, his expression unusually serious, and said.

"As the ruler of the underworld, you are already protected by the Father God. Furthermore, if anything unexpected happens, I guarantee that I will risk my life to bring you back safely!"

"So, would you like to come with me to meet my family?"

"No, I should say, would you like to become a family with me?"

"Hmm~".

Upon hearing Li Lin's speech, Ereshkigal's previously feigned arrogance vanished instantly.

Her face flushed slightly, and she glared at Li Lin reproachfully.

This guy definitely did it on purpose!

If you're going to see your mother, just say so! Why use terms like "family" that are easy to misunderstand?

Ereshkigal always felt that recruiting Li Lin was a mistake.

The subordinates of other gods are all respectful when facing their superiors, but when it comes to her... they either flirt with her or like to say strange things!

"Hmph~ ╯^╰, of course I'm going too!"

"Since you are so confident that Mother will never return, and as your superior, I must protect the safety of my subordinates."

"After all these years, you are the first god who is willing to serve in the underworld. I don't want to go looking for the next one after losing you."

"As for the God King's decree and all that, I don't care. In the Underworld, I am the God King!"

After saying that, Ereshkigal crossed his arms, turned his face slightly away, and looked arrogant.

Upon hearing this, Li Lin couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth turn up in a wide smile.

Looking at his goddess's adorable appearance, he deliberately spoke in a low voice, just loud enough for her to hear.

"Hehe, Ereshkigal is really cute."

"Cute...?!"

"No, no ruth!"

Ereshkigal, who had been feigning composure, blushed instantly and was beaten so badly she couldn't get up again.

PS***********

In reality, seeing Tiamat isn't difficult. Chaldea can summon Tiamat's other personality through "fate," so there's no reason why the male protagonist, who is a god, and Ereshkigal can't.

As for whether or not the Holy Grail should be used, I think it's unnecessary.

The Holy Grail wish, in essence, is simply a matter of using a method that already exists in the world and then accelerating it with a massive amount of magical power.

For example, Xiao En can directly mimic the Holy Grail, and as long as you give him magic power, he can make a wish.

The male protagonist, being a god, knows how to reverse the summoning and has no shortage of magic power, so it's normal that he doesn't need the Holy Grail. Chapter Seven, The Dream of Imaginary Numbers, The Dream of Mother.

Li Lin placed one hand on the summoning circle.

As a massive amount of magic power was continuously poured in, a suction force suddenly surged out from the summoning circle, instantly enveloping Li Lin and Ai Lei beside him.

A white light flashed in my eyes.

Li Lin felt as if a small piece of his spirit had been separated and was being rapidly pulled outwards by the suction force.

"here it is?"

Li Lin looked around with some confusion.

He realized that this place seemed to be the white space he had been in when he first transmigrated.

I think it's something like the Throne of Heroes?

"Wait a minute, how did I end up here again?"

"Shouldn't we use the summoning circle to travel back to the Imaginary Sea to see Tiamat?"

Just as Li Lin was feeling somewhat confused and began to doubt whether the simulation had already ended, the system's electronic voice appeared in his mind at just the right moment.

[Ding, host is detected exploring a side quest.]

Side quest accepted: (Mother's Dream)

[System optimization in progress... Optimization successful, task commencement.]

With a loud hum, ~~——

A voice that seemed to resonate through the soul suddenly exploded in Li Lin's mind.

Endless time began to flow before his eyes.

Beyond this world that transcends time and space, he witnessed how planets were formed, the birth of the Sumerian gods, their final rebellion, and his exiled mother...

Old man~~

Another voice rang in Li Lin's ears.

When he came to his senses, he found that everything in front of him had changed.

At this moment, he was in a boundless void.

There is no light here, no sky or earth.

Even the concept of "color" does not exist.

Yes, there was a vague sense of emptiness, as if it were superimposed on a parallel line of "existence and non-existence." Everything was so uncertain.

"Ahhh~——"

Just as Li Lin was beginning to lose himself, a melodious song suddenly pierced through the void and entered his mind.

Li Lin looked up.

They discovered that a colossal figure had appeared in the previously empty void.
