Those were eyes that made all things tremble.
Boiling chaos flowed deep within the irises like a cosmic vortex tearing through space and time.
Gulp.
Kama unconsciously swallowed.
Even as a complete Beast, she froze in place before the Imaginary Number rift.
How could this be?
She felt something unbelievable.
After all, she was a complete Beast.
What kind of creature in this world could possibly make her feel fear?
And... the other side also seemed to be a Beast.
"What exactly... is that thing?"
Kama stared intensely at the eyes within the rift, her expression constantly changing.
"Close the Imaginary Number rift immediately!"
At that moment, Alvin suddenly shouted from behind.
However, Kama frowned slightly and sneered.
"Who do you think you're talking to, White Dragon..."
Before she finished speaking, the smile on her face froze.
Tiamat's clone was turning into particles of light and flowing back toward the true body.
From the other side of the Imaginary Number rift came a terrifying pressure that made Spirit Origins tremble.
Kama stared at the scene in uncertainty.
At that moment, her mind felt completely muddled, filled with countless question marks.
Who exactly was this woman?
And why was her true body located in the Imaginary Number Space where no living beings should exist?
"What are you standing there for!"
Seeing Kama still standing motionless in place, Alvin felt his heartbeat accelerate uncontrollably as he noticed Tiamat's eyes opening within the Imaginary Number rift.
The first thought that appeared in his mind was simple.
A useless teammate.
He didn't know how this idiot was able to become a Beast and overpower them...maybe because no one was actually paying attention, maybe because of her charm, taking advantage of his low self control.
But damn it.
There's a limit to stupidity.
Even Gaia and Alaya wouldn't dare and you're just a newly formed beast.
However, cursing won't stop the problem.
Although Tiamat recognized him as her child, the problem was that Tiamat's true body could not maintain rationality.
Once the true body awakened, the Tide of Chaos would devour the entire world and return it to its "primordial" state.
This was the Beast known as the Principle of Regression.
Tiamat.
If Kama's existence only threatened the safety of human order, then once Tiamat's true body descended, it would undoubtedly become a danger capable of destroying the entirety of human order.
But in the end, even Kama could never have imagined that within Imaginary Number Space there was actually a Beast that had existed since before creation itself.
And that Alvin could even summon her clone.
As if noticing Kama's gaze, Tiamat's true body looked through the Imaginary Number rift toward Kama's direction,
Before she slowly opened her mouth.
"Aaaaaa!!!"
In the next moment, a beautiful yet dangerous song like that of a siren from the sea passed through layers of sound waves, piercing through the Imaginary Number rift, and even the song alone carried a terrifying sense of danger.
Merlin's expression changed drastically and he immediately raised his staff and released a pink barrier into the sky to resist the incoming sound waves.
Kama suddenly came back to her senses and quickly raised her hand, attempting to close the Imaginary Number rift she had just opened.
However...
Like someone who had curiously opened Pandora's box, once it was opened, it was already far too late to regret and try to close it again.
"Aaaaaa!!!"
Tiamat released an incomparably sorrowful song mixed with anger as the Tide of Chaos surged wildly toward the Imaginary Number rift.
The Imaginary Number rift suddenly expanded, and the dark purple torrent of chaos poured out like a collapsed dam.
Space produced the harsh sound of shattering glass.
The temple beneath Kama's feet began collapsing piece by piece, turning into pitch black particles that were swallowed by the rift.
Kama staggered backward, her enchanting red eyes reflecting the enormous entity gradually approaching the Imaginary Number rift.
It was a gigantic beast entwined with the sea of stars and the void.
Her body seemed large enough to support heaven and earth.
Every inch of her skin was covered in scales, as if radiating a brilliance that carried the laws of annihilation.
For a brief moment, Kama seemed stunned.
"What kind of joke is this... is this really a Beast...?"
Both were complete Beasts, yet the scale of the Spirit Origin between Kama and Tiamat was not even remotely on the same level.
A bow covered with countless Sanskrit characters formed at her fingertips, and the arrow in her right hand burned with crimson flames.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, the arrow tore through the air and shot toward the rift.
However, before the arrow could even touch Tiamat's phantom, it was easily swallowed by the Tide of Chaos.
The backlash of energy directly blasted Kama away.
"How is that possible..."
For the first time, a hint of trembling appeared in her voice, though what filled it more was disbelief.
How could there be such a massive gap between Beasts?
"Fall back!"
At that moment, Alvin's low shout suddenly came from behind.
He grabbed Kama's arm and retreated rapidly.
The next moment, the place where they had been standing was instantly pierced through by a pillar of chaotic light.
Cold sweat had already appeared on Alvin's forehead, while the White Dragon furnace core inside him was operating frantically.
Merlin raised his staff and deployed a barrier, barely sealing the Imaginary Number rift for the moment.
At the same time he shouted toward Alvin in the distance.
"Alvin, we must close that Imaginary Number rift as soon as possible!"
Originally Kama had only opened a small opening into the Imaginary Number Space.
But now that opening was gradually expanding.
If this continued, it would not take long before Tiamat's true body could descend into the present world through the Imaginary Number rift.
"Let's work together first and close the rift!"
Alvin turned his head and shouted toward Kama.
"Shut up!"
Kama shook off Alvin's hand as a massive Wheel of Desire suddenly unfolded behind her, covering the sky.
In the next moment, tens of thousands of pink arrows of light poured down like a storm, shooting toward Tiamat within the Imaginary Number rift.
However, before these arrows could even reach Tiamat's true body, they were completely devoured by the power of the Tide of Chaos and quickly vanished into the air.
Tiamat slowly raised her eyes.
A humming sound, both like a song and a sigh, spread outward.
Within the Tide of Chaos, countless pink arrows suddenly reversed direction, carrying doubled destructive power as they blasted toward Kama.
Alvin reacted instantly as he grabbed Kama and retreated rapidly while feeling an overwhelming urge to complain.
"Tch... why won't you accept reality!"
If it were not for the fact that the body she was possessing belonged to Matou Sakura, he would have already turned around and left this bitch here.
Anyway others want to seek death, why should he care?
Crack...
At that moment, a crisp sound suddenly came from the seal that Merlin had deployed.
Then more and more cracks began to appear.
Until finally, under the shocked gazes of everyone present, the seal completely shattered.
A gate of Imaginary Numbers large enough to allow countless people to pass through was expanding at a terrifying speed.
The temple's foundation turned into quantum dust and crumbled downward.
And along with it descended Tiamat's enormous true body.
Kama looked up at the colossal beast that seemed to exist within the sea of stars.
That was no longer within the category of a living creature.
It was more like the embodiment of the world's return to nothingness.
This was the primordial mother goddess who had always been sleeping within the Imaginary Number Space.
The Beast known as the Principle of Regression.
Tiamat.
Although she usually appeared naive and easy to deceive, when her true body descended even Merlin's face turned pale.
"This time something really terrible is going to happen..."
He muttered to himself.
...
Chaldea.
This was a special organization funded by multiple nations.
Its primary responsibility was to ensure the continuation of human order.
Simply put, it was an organization created to prevent the extinction of humanity.
It was located on a snow mountain at an altitude of 6000 meters.
Normally, let alone people, even a single insect could hardly be seen.
However, one minute earlier, Chaldea's usual calm had been completely shattered by an alarm from the observation station.
The door of Chaldea's monitoring room opened automatically.
A girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka hurried into the room.
Mash held her shield and was already standing beside Dr. Roman.
Her eyes stared seriously at the holographic image ahead of them.
At this moment, her fingers unconsciously pressed into her palm, yet the pain did nothing to ease the tension in her heart.
As Chaldea, which had saved human order countless times before, Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka had already traveled to multiple Singularities and corrected distortions in human history.
When it came to saving human order, Chaldea could be considered extremely experienced.
Even so, everyone in the monitoring room was extremely tense.
"What level of Spirit Origin reaction is this?!"
Mash stared at the image within the holographic projection.
After a long silence, she finally spoke with a slightly trembling voice.
Dr. Roman stared at the violently shaking holographic image and remained silent for a long time.
"A sea that existed before creation."
"A sea?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka stepped forward, confusion visible in her eyes.
"What exactly does that mean?"
"To be precise, it is the Principle of Regression that can return everything to its primordial state."
Dr. Roman frowned slightly.
"But logically she should be sleeping in Imaginary Number Space. Why would she appear in the city of Fuyuki... what exactly happened there?"
Mash's eyes flickered.
"Fuyuki? If I remember correctly, that city holds a Holy Grail War every ten years... could it be that some Master accidentally opened the gate to Imaginary Number Space?"
Dr. Roman did not answer.
His expression remained serious, his mood heavy.
"The expansion speed of the Tide of Chaos has already exceeded the calculated value by 1200 percent.
If this continues, Fuyuki will be completely covered by the Tide of Chaos in a very short time."
As he spoke, his hand unconsciously tightened.
"We have to find a way to send the Mother Goddess back into Imaginary Number Space..."
Although that was what he said, a terrifying existence whose Spirit Origin was too massive to even calculate had already descended.
And it had appeared in a modern city like Fuyuki.
Was there really any way to send her back into Imaginary Number Space?
Just as Dr. Roman's mind was still running at high speed, Fujimaru Ritsuka reached out and gently placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Doctor, time is running out. Let's begin the Rayshift... no matter what, we have to go to Fuyuki first to find out what exactly happened."
The latter gazed at the girl, his expression complicated, however, in the end, he just sighed.
"This time will probably be far more difficult than before..."
Even so, giving up now was impossible.
Dr. Roman took a deep breath.
"Begin the Rayshift!"
"Target... Japan, Fuyuki City!"
