He was imprisoned in Nibelungen for a thousand years, only to find out upon his release that he was

So this is what a hug is.

She could feel the warm touch of her body, smell the warm breath and moisture, and hear the breathing sounds so close to her ear.

Nevertheless, she didn't know how to react. She didn't know how to express herself using the human language she had just used.

Looking back carefully, she identified herself as a "mother" and called many children, but no one had ever come up and hugged her like that.

She watched over the birth and growth of many children.

But children always eventually mature, become indifferent, and drift away from you. Never, ever has anyone turned back and come close to you like this.

No one said anything like, "Mom, you've worked so hard," "Mom, I've come back to see you," or "Mom, you won't be lonely anymore."

This hug has a special meaning, like a concrete response to enduring love.

“Aaaaa......”

Tiamat responded to the hug quietly and obediently.

Words failed them, and they became mere tones.

"Um, did we interrupt your good time?"

After a long while, a woman's voice, seemingly holding her breath, rang out from not far away.

......

A moment earlier, Officer Anne, along with the others whom Lu Ming had sent away, recalled Lu Ming's somewhat strange expression before they parted. After a moment's hesitation, she subtly reminded Francesca:

"The adult doesn't seem to be doing something right. Should we contact the hospital?"

Although the white-haired gothic woman in front of her was not very well-behaved, she was still someone from the same camp and the core member of the group closest to the adults, possessing relatively high autonomy in action and communication.

Before leaving, the young policewoman keenly sensed that the newcomer was not human, and Lu Ming's tense attitude towards Tiamat made her wonder if it would be more reliable to call more helpers.

Although Tiamat seems to be a good person, having even protected two people along the way, what if she's a hidden villain? When dealing with bad guys, there's no need to hold back; it's best to minimize the risks and stage a righteous brawl.

"Hmm? Isn't that unnecessary? If even Lu Ming can't handle it, then calling in the others over there..."

Francesca could guess what Anne was worried about even with her toes.

But Tiamat possesses a distinctive and intense characteristic: divinity, dragon attributes, and a restrained aura of calamity...

With her extensive experience, it's impossible that she couldn't tell the difference.

That should be the source of the beast tide in the east of the city.

'But why is the true power of the Beast suppressed, and not fully revealed?'

'Oh, wait, I see! Just like the suppressive force within this Nibelungen region, there's also a high-level force restricting the other side.'

'The body she can move freely in right now is not her true form, but merely a mind with limited abilities...'

and many more!

Since the level of danger is limited, what would happen if we called upon those two Mesopotamian goddesses at this time?

Francesca wore a knowing smile.

"Okay, Miss Anne, I agree!"

She flicked her finger and dialed a number, "Hello, Ellie—"

"Who gave you permission to call me that name?!"

"Hehe, I'm just used to mimicking Master Lu Ming's way of speaking. By the way, there's an emergency. Master encountered a woman with huge dragon horns and long blue hair at the front lines..."

"What! Mother!?"

A dozen minutes later, Ereshkigal dragged a reluctant Ishtar running over, her face full of worry.

"Where is it? Where is it?!"

"Here."

When Ai Lei turned her head, she saw Lu Ming hugging and kissing Tiamat, their bodies pressed together.

Her eyes gradually lost their luster.

Volume 1: Chapter 108: Mom: What kind of partner do you want? I'll eliminate them all!

When Ai Lei rushed here in a great hurry, she had imagined many anxious and uneasy scenarios in her mind.

After all, that was her mother, Tiamat. Even the gods felt fear when they fought her.

Ai Lei also thought that Lu Ming always talked about dragons and such. Although she didn't know why he insisted on labeling Odin as a ruthless dragon, his mother Tiamat's dragon identity was indeed genuine.

What if Lu Ming chooses to take physical action at this time, and a fierce conflict breaks out when he comes into contact with his mother?

What if the two decide to fight on the spot regardless of the consequences, leading to an even worse situation?

What if the conflict between the two sides attracts new enemies, leaving Lu Ming vulnerable from both sides?

There are two massive sources of magical power, one in the east and one in the west of the city, that even the gods find terrifying. It is not impossible that this would attract even more powerful enemies and cause the situation to deteriorate further.

Then, she witnessed the shocking scene of her mother and Lu Ming embracing tightly.

Ishtar, who had been pulled over, was initially reluctant, but at this moment, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Wow, my arch-nemesis, the gloomy Ereshkigal, who was having a great time with Lu Ming, actually got cheated on? And by her own mother?

What an incredible plot!

Ishtar considered herself an observer, and naturally watched with great interest...

Of course, what I was looking at wasn't the way Lu Ming and Tiamat were hugging and cuddling, but rather the complex expressions on Ereshkigal's face—disappointment, pain, confusion, distortion, and so on.

That's the expression on her face! That's the look of jealousy she has for her mother that I want to see!

Heh heh, who told you to always take advantage of your high position and power to settle personal scores and step on my head?

They got their comeuppance!

"Hmm? Ellie, you've come at just the right time!"

Lu Ming felt the time was right, so he released Tiamat. He saw her blink, seemingly unperturbed by the action, which relieved Lu Ming; he felt like he'd stumbled upon the right direction after all his groping. Only then did he look at the newcomer:

"Perfect timing, let me introduce you to this young mother..."

"what!?"

Eresh was furious at that moment.

The goddess of the underworld thought to herself, "Does Lu Ming even need you to introduce her? Even if she jumped off the cliff by the River Styx, she would never forget Tiamat, the mother of the gods!"

In fact, that's what she said:

"Thank you for your hard work! No need for introductions! I know this mother, because she's our mother too, right, Ishtar, who's smiling so happily?"

Ellie gave the wicked goddess a hard elbow strike as if venting her anger.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes..."

Ishtar's eyes twitched, and she nodded vigorously.

She gritted her teeth inwardly, thinking to herself, "Damn gloomy woman, don't be so smug. You won't have many more good days. Now there are new factions in the team. It's no longer the era when you could control everything from the back!"

Hmph, Ereshkigal, if you dare to provoke me again, I'll tell Mother...

Wait, who is Mother's closest person right now?

It's Lu Ming!

Between Ishtar and Ereshkigal, Lu Ming would definitely choose the latter, and between Ishtar and Lu Ming, the Mother Goddess Tiamat would also definitely choose the latter.

In other words...

The mountain pressing down on her didn't decrease; in fact, it increased by one!?

The thought of the three insurmountable mountains above him caused Ishtar's initial smugness to vanish, and he immediately became dejected and miserable.

"You also call her Mother..."

Lu Ming was taken aback when he heard this.

First, he was unaware that Tiamat was truly the mother goddess of these people; second, he himself had just called her mother.

So when he heard Ellie say those words, he heard a completely different meaning.

According to traditional customs, what is it called when a woman follows in her husband's footsteps and calls the same person "mother"?

"—Ereshkigal, Ishtar, are you both planning to marry me?"

These words, once uttered, were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, causing the three women around to react in different and intense ways.

"Ok?"

Aileen's heart raced at first, and she felt a slight sense of pleasure.

What?! Lu Ming is finally stopping avoiding her feelings...?

Then she realized something was wrong. Wait, Ishtar? What's going on with her?

Who does this guy think he is, daring to sneak away?

"Ok?"

Ishtar's heart was also racing; she was a little nervous.

What? She's involved in this too? Is Lu Ming's thought process completely off? Is he out of his mind or something?

Although Ishtar does indeed possess the power of the goddess of beauty, and is naturally beautiful, it is only natural that she could attract Lu Ming!

But... what if on the wedding day, she gets publicly humiliated and receives a letter annulment notice just because she doesn't believe in conspiracy theories?

"Ok?"

Tiamat's heart raced, though she didn't realize it until much later.

He was mainly savoring the hug he had just received, and it took him quite a while before he turned his gaze to the two goddesses in front of him.

The child they just adopted is already being brought home as a daughter-in-law?

Is this a good thing?

Tiamat thought about it carefully. According to the normal family concept of "raising children", the next step after the child and his partner find their parents is to establish a marital relationship.

The next step after establishing a marital relationship is to become husband and wife and start a family;

Getting married and starting a family means living independently and leaving one's biological mother...

Therefore, a child finding a partner is equivalent to breaking away from the mother!

Logical closed loop.

This kind of thing must be stopped!

Tiamat felt inexplicably agitated at the thought.

In the mythological era, Tiamat served as the womb that shaped Earth's ecosystem at the time of creation, but after the environment stabilized, she was exiled to the imaginary space.

From that time on, she longed to return to the real world. Essentially, her longing to return stemmed from her sadness and anger at her children "leaving their mother" and "abandoning her."

Although this body is only a mind that has not yet fully manifested as the Beast, Tiamat is still quite sensitive when it comes to this aspect.

The Mother Goddess's star-shaped pupils flickered, and her innocent face seriously scanned Ereshkigal and Ishtar.

She made her decision.

She wants to establish a stringent review standard!

Then, eliminate all the potential partners Lu Ming brought in! (Serious face)

"..."

Ereshkigal and Ishtar suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, and the surrounding air suddenly turned cold.

What's going on? Why did my mother's eyes suddenly turn cold and ruthless?
