"Ah! I've got a bite, I've got a bite!"
Suddenly...
As Stephen Lloyd watched the crystal-clear pool that didn't even have a speck of dust, Hermes began to pull the fishing line. The reel spun rapidly, indicating that a large fish beneath the water was struggling with all its might.
Seeing this scene, these geniuses—each of whom could lead the era of the The Universe—now had their gazes firmly fixed.
Hermes's eyes shone brightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably as he focused his mind into the fishing rod in his hand.
Using his thoughts—each wisp of which could cause space-time to collapse—he crossed the barriers of the myriad heavenly dimensions and began to sense every minute change of the hook.
"I see, is this also a form of cultivation for the Cosmic Truth?"
Herta tried to stir her own Herta: Cosmic Truth, which was still just a prototype, wanting to gain insight into every subtle mystery of Dimensional Fishing.
She discovered that when the concept of 'Fishing' followed the 'Bait' and was cast into the endless myriad heavens, the Cosmic Truth wielded by Hermes himself interacted with those infinite, boundless dimensions at the same moment.
This was a mysterious form of communication with other dimensions and heavens, relying on one's own Truth.
The so-called 'Fishing' was merely a surface-level action.
Fishing in the myriad heavens, the willing take the bait!
What was being caught was not just the fish on the surface!
"Stay calm, there must be a process of give and take."
"The willing take the bait, fishing in the myriad heavens."
"You might make a huge profit, but I definitely won't lose out."
As the tug-of-war of the fishing process continued, the smile on Hermes's face became increasingly pleasant.
The process of fishing was, in fact, also a profound cultivation method. At the same time, a realization dawned in Hermes's heart:
"So, this is how the Chat Group grows? Every one of its functions is a unique way to grow?"
"Perhaps every time a group member performs a gacha pull, it's just like my current action, providing some kind of nutrition for it to continuously improve itself?"
Members could use points to pull items useful to them, and the Chat Group could also get what it needed in the process... This process was simply a win-win?!
Hermes kept pulling the fishing rod. During this process, he also constantly adjusted the internal logic of the 'Fishing Rod'. Perhaps he could add some dimensional and space-time mysteries into it?
Suddenly.
Hermes found the fishing rod suddenly plunging down.
This time, there was a strange realization that the pulling process had ended. He needed to reel it in as soon as possible, otherwise his bait would be swallowed, and the fish he was angling for might escape!
"Come up!"
Without any hesitation, Hermes suddenly tightened the rod, wanting to catch the 'Fish' that belonged to him.
However, in this process, he could feel a sort of instinctive stagnation coming from the endless Void Sea... the Absolute Demonic Front.
The endless black sea surged, and dark clouds pressed down as if to crush the city.
In the darkness, an incredibly terrifying existence quietly watched the desperate battle and struggle of the children of man on the earth.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, the Master from Chaldea, arrived with Mash in this era where gods still walked the earth.
They saw the tragic state of the city of Uruk, where black monsters were rampaging through the streets.
According to Chaldea's intelligence, the demonic beasts landing this time—the Lahmu—were not a hundred, not a thousand, but tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and the number was still exploding, rapidly approaching the million-level mark!
Although these terrifying demonic beasts were not yet a match for those great mythological heroes, for ordinary soldiers, they were no different from a cataclysmic disaster.
Moreover, even a great mythological hero could be surrounded and eaten alive in such a massive sea of demonic beasts!
And even more terrifying... In Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes, the figure of that Mother Goddess in the ocean was reflected—she was so terrifying—
The primordial mother, the Mother of All Beasts, Tiamat—the common mother of all spirits on earth and all beings in the heavens!
"hahahahahahahahah..."
Deep within the black sea, Tiamat opened her eyes. The misty light of wisdom was dormant, letting the Sea of Life spread endlessly through this world by instinct alone.
"Ritsuka, the primordial mother possesses a vast magical power within her body that is comparable to the stars."
On Chaldea's side, Romani's solemn voice reached Fujimaru Ritsuka's ears, providing her with intelligence support and specific analysis.
"The scale and status of the primordial mother are on a completely different level from other gods. As long as She wishes, She even has the ability to cross the sea of stars and recreate the myth of creation on different planets!"
"So? Doctor, how should we defeat Her?"
Although it seemed that Tiamat was an existence with an off-the-charts health bar, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't care much. With so many Heroic Spirits in the Throne of Heroes, there were bound to be a few who could counter this type of boss.
If it really didn't work—
Perhaps it was time to summon Arash again and see if the Servant self-destruction tactic could gain a strategic advantage... No, perhaps Arash alone wasn't enough; should she find a few more Servants of the same type?
In Chaldea, Romani saw the expression on the face of his only remaining Master and naturally knew what she was thinking.
He couldn't help but twitch his stiff cheek and then shook his head, rejecting such a simple and crude tactic: "That's useless. As the Mother Goddess of all spirits, the primordial mother possesses the privileges of a Creation Mother Goddess."
"She is born without the concept of death. As long as life still exists on the surface, it is impossible for Her to have the possibility of death."
"Unless you blow up the entire Earth, this tactic won't have any effect!"
"What a pity..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but show an expression of great heartache. She loved simple and crude tactics like that!
Mash: "..."
Romani: "..."
"Forget it, you and Da Vinci should hurry up and come up with a solution. We'll try to stall for time."
Then, Gudako—the emerging Beast of Chaos—along with the famous Axe King of Uruk, Merlin the Magician of Flowers, and the Three Goddesses... were all beaten into the dirt.
Reality was not a game.
Tiamat was simply too broken; she had the mechanics to match her stats, and the stats to match her mechanics.
Even though this primordial mother was holding back so much it was practically an ocean, she was definitely not an existence that could be defeated casually.
"Rumble~"
The Old Man of the Mountain was accidentally hit by Tiamat. His Spirit Origin was almost shattered, and he collapsed not far from Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Old man, weren't you acting all high and mighty just now? How did you end up so weak?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but complain. This old man's entrance effects were maxed out, but looking at his battle record, it was a zero-point-five.
