Holy shit, has your Clairvoyance completely unsealed, you mischievous brat?
Nameless was stunned.
He had just finished talking with [Alaya] about recruiting Tiamat as his teammate for the ultimate battle ahead.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect the mischievous child to immediately catch him with Tiamat.
This was like Mars colliding with Earth!
Had the mischievous child broken her seals just to come after him?
Goose-feather snowflakes drifted down.
The world was blanketed in pristine white, appearing sacred and breathtakingly beautiful.
The little loli, dressed in a silver-white down jacket, tilted her head slightly to observe the two before rubbing her slightly reddened hands and walking over.
She looked like an innocent little angel—the very picture of a "daughter so cute it makes you want one" trope.
Nameless let out a small sigh of relief.
Clearly, this was just an accidental encounter.
Roya had likely been drawn outside by the earlier fireworks display, not specifically looking for him.
Since she hadn't figured things out, the two most terrifying Beasts of Humanity wouldn't end up fighting.
Now, all he had to do was pretend not to recognize her and walk past nonchalantly.
However.
He watched as Roya stopped right beside them.
Nameless's heart immediately began racing like crazy.
Even with top-tier healing, he was still in a half-crippled state.
To fully recover his combat abilities, he'd have to wait until at least the next Greek Age of Gods video—or even the one about Qin Shi Huang.
If these two powerful women started fighting, there was no way he could stop them right now!
Damn you, Alaya—was this part of your plan too?
Nameless felt an overwhelming sense of frustration.
That scheming bastard was definitely enjoying the show!
As he stood there anxiously,
Roya curiously looked up at the blue-haired woman beside Nameless. "Why do you feel so familiar? Have we met before?"
Of course she's familiar—you literally wanted her as your mom earlier!
Instinctively, Nameless stepped in front of Tiamat and smiled. "Little miss, you must have mistaken her for someone else."
"Hmm, maybe I did."
Roya nodded in confusion.
There was something strangely familiar about the other woman—a certain aura, something like...
A kindred spirit?
That was really odd.
She was so much older.
Not just in age, but also in the sheer size of her "assets," which dwarfed Roya's by comparison.
Anyone seeing them together would assume they were mother and daughter—so why did she feel this inexplicable kinship?
"Don't wander around alone at night. It's better to stay with your family," Nameless continued, exuding the aura of a gentle older brother.
He had completely relaxed now, his smile becoming much more genuine.
It seemed the crisis had been resolved, and it was time to return home to sleep.
Just then, Tiamat, who had been standing quietly nearby, suddenly cupped his cheeks in her hands under Nameless's stunned gaze.
Then, to Roya's even more dumbfounded stare, she gently kissed him!
The world seemed to freeze completely in that moment.
So quiet you could hear the snowflakes falling, like petals gently swirling and drifting down.
Before this once-human-history-igniting, nearly-humanity-destroying, potentially-earth-annihilating apocalyptic troublemaker stood...
Another Beast of equal caliber, freely enjoying the man she cared about most.
Without the slightest restraint!
"You two..."
Roya stared blankly at the pair, her smile completely frozen on her face.
Countless snowflakes landed on her unmoving form, utterly ignored.
Though she didn't know these people at all—normally she should be covering her eyes while peeking through fingers in shy observation—instead she felt an overwhelming fury!
An urge to push between them, to attack the gentle blue-haired woman before her.
Her entire being seemed to transform into a volcano on the verge of eruption, filled with hysterical agitation.
Why had things turned out like this?
"Mmm... a farewell kiss?"
Nameless staggered back a step, already sensing the terrifying energy suppressed within the troublemaker's small frame.
And the sound of divine-grade seals breaking one after another with audible "cracks" from her body.
At this moment...
The angelic-looking little girl resembled nothing so much as a nuclear bomb about to detonate—capable of sinking the entire Japanese archipelago in an instant!
This made Nameless sigh helplessly in his heart.
Mother Tiamat, you can do whatever you want when we're alone—but why deliberately provoke her like this?
Nameless twitched his lips and feigned shyness as he explained, "Sorry, it's been so long since we last met. Getting a little carried away is only natural. I hope I didn't scare you?"
"N-No..."
Roya took a step back.
If she stayed in front of them any longer, she was afraid she might do something impulsive.
"Glad to hear it. Well, we'll be going now." Nameless waved goodbye.
They had to leave.
If they stayed any longer, Tiamat's terrifying aura of Human Evil would undoubtedly trigger a rampage.
Fou, also a Human Evil, was still in its juvenile form—that was the only reason it remained harmless.
Tiamat smiled gently and adjusted Roya's hat with a tender touch. "You're truly adorable."
"T-Thanks..."
Roya instinctively retreated another half-step.
Despite the warmth and motherly affection in that smile, it filled her with an indescribable disgust.
For as long as she could remember, this was the first time she had ever felt such an inexplicable loathing for someone!
Crack—
Roya felt as though chains within her were shattering one after another, her entire body growing lighter, brimming with power and vitality.
An utterly surreal sensation.
As if she were connected to the earth beneath her feet.
As if she had merged with the world itself.
As if—she was the planet!
With every movement, the world would breathe with her, rise and fall with her, tremble or calm at her will!
Nameless felt his scalp tingle.
'Holy shit, I pushed her too far!'
He had to fix this—fast!
Under the bewildered gazes of onlookers, he grabbed Tiamat and hurriedly dragged her into a nearby grove.
An immense repulsive force radiated from Tiamat's body.
Not just the protective rules of humanity's collective consciousness.
But also the rejection from the very earth beneath them—as if the entire planet was desperately trying to expel her.
"...Don't forget me."
Tiamat reached out, trying to touch his cheek.
But under such overwhelming rejection, even the simplest gesture was impossible.
Hum—
Her form dissolved into countless fragments of light, vanishing without a trace.
"Guess... being lonely for so long really does make you lose control."
Nameless shook his head.
Then, a faint glow shimmered over his body—his white hair reverted to black, and his appearance shifted from that of Nameless back to the ordinary shut-in, Souma.
This is bad. Really bad.
Moments later,
He rushed out of the grove and called out to the girl still standing quietly, "Roya, what are you doing here?"
"Huh?"
Roya turned to look at him.
Her eyes flickered with countless scenes, as though the entire world was swirling within them.
Brilliant as the Milky Way.
The usually unreliable troublemaker now carried an air of solemnity—steady as the earth beneath her feet.
Nameless walked over and pulled her into a hug. "Let's go home."
Hum—
The vast, overwhelming aura around her vanished in an instant.
She blinked in confusion as she lifted her head from his chest. "What... just happened to me?"
"Probably just you being dumb."
Souma gently brushed the snow off her shoulders and sighed. "Don't wander out alone at night. If you really want to go out, call me, alright?"
"Tch, as if! I'm a certified genius beauty—you're the dumb one!"
Roya pouted, snapping out of her daze.
"Alright, alright, you're the smartest," Souma replied.
At that moment.
The mischievous child suddenly wrapped both arms around his waist, pressing tightly against him as if trying to merge into one being.
Roya spoke in a soft, puzzled voice: "Just now, I suddenly felt... very strange."
"Caught a cold? I told you to dress warmer! Let's go home together."
Souma bent down, pressing his forehead against hers.
Then his large hand enveloped her small one, fingers intertwining as he began leading her home.
"Mmm..."
Roya nodded obediently, following close behind.
Their interlocked fingers held gently yet firmly.
The earlier sensation had been truly peculiar.
A hollow feeling in her chest, as if she was about to lose something most precious.
"Let's go."
Souma quietly sighed in relief.
Facing Tiamat's overwhelming presence earlier must have triggered an intense internal conflict in her mind.
One side being Roya, the other that terrifying monster.
Fortunately, they hadn't crossed that final forbidden line that would have completely broken the monster's seal.
A small mercy amidst misfortune.
Unlike that video he'd seen before, where the explosive girl had been completely killed in their mutual struggle, giving birth to that berserk loli!
That moment then, this moment now - the resemblance was uncanny.
...
At the previous battle site.
The massive War God mech had been taken away for study, where China's renowned manufacturing expertise would attempt to mass-produce it at affordable prices.
Even if they couldn't recreate true War God armors, this would still propel China's magical puppet machinery technology forward by leaps and bounds.
Qin Shi Huang watched the bustling crowds, his gaze troubled as he looked into the distance.
There, two unimaginably powerful presences were locked in fierce confrontation.
The [Dragon of Human Order], forged from the willpower of two billion Chinese people, allowed Qin Shi Huang to clearly perceive:
Both entities were constrained by [Alaya]'s restrictions.
"Master... truly formidable!"
Qin Shi Huang sighed softly.
Had Tiamat descended in her true form earlier, she alone could have destroyed the human world.
And that other presence seemed fused with the entire world itself - even more terrifying.
Imagine if Earth shifted slightly - tsunamis and earthquakes would follow.
If it decided to jump around casually, humanity would be instantly wiped out.
Qin Shi Huang didn't know what terrible price Nameless had paid to suppress these two beings.
Could he have suffered severe injuries?
Fortunately, their subsequent conversation confirmed no such catastrophic damage.
This brought Qin Shi Huang some small measure of relief.
But it wasn't nearly enough.
Facing these Evils of Humanity, Qin Shi Huang finally felt his own powerlessness.
As
Qin Shi Huang grew increasingly helpless.
Waiting three more years would be far too late.
Nameless had previously mentioned that the Pantheon Council from the other side of the world had already passed a war proposal targeting China and him.
Their massive war machine had already been mobilized.
Moreover, some terrifying entity would intervene to neutralize the threat posed by Tiamat, the Beast of Humanity.
With war on the brink of breaking out, how could they possibly wait three years?
Qin Shi Huang fell into deep thought. "I wonder when the video related to me will be released."
