[ The Evening Bell has tolled your name. ]
[ I have no need for the name of Grand; this strike, right now, shall carve out the proof of the strongest! ]
At that moment, the Evening Bell rang out in the air, countless feathers drifted down, and time itself seemed to stop for it...
The style was simply maxed out, and he was one of the seven Grand Servants, yet, was that it?!
The Primordial Mother merely struggled, and the old man's sword blade was shattered.
The Underworld was pierced through, and Ereshkigal's Authority as the mistress of the Underworld was almost assimilated and swallowed by Tiamat's terrifying Authority of Life...
Just as this Singularity was about to spiral out of control, and Gudako, unable to suppress the restless urge in her heart, was preparing to initiate the ultimate "nuclear peace" tactic, an unremarkable fishing hook pierced through the void and appeared on Tiamat...
[ Fish on! Fish on, hurry up and reel it in! ]
[ Don't be so impatient, Herta, fishing requires patience. Watch closely, and learn well. ]
[ Now, let me show you my super fishing skills as an angler! ]
Then, they watched helplessly as the Primordial Mother was hooked and slowly dragged into the void, gradually disappearing from sight.
"Hahahahahaha..."
Vaguely, they seemed to be able to hear Tiamat's murmurs.
"Doctor, what's the situation?"
On the battlefield, everyone who had been fighting looked at one another, all sharing a sense of absurdity at how it had started with a roar and ended with a whimper—
"We were just about to fight to the death, how did you get fished away like a fish?!"
"...Could this be a new method from the wandering star civilization beyond the heavens?"
In the eerie silence, Quetzalcoatl tentatively guessed: "After all, the Giant God Attila's casual efforts back then brought about the Twilight of the Gods; that was a power capable of causing planetary extinction!"
Such a strange and bizarre method simply made the gods' hair stand on end.
No one wanted to be fished away by a fishing rod for no reason; it was the Mother Goddess now, but would it be them next time?
"Impossible!"
"Although the wandering star beyond the heavens is powerful, it is impossible for it to fish away Tiamat without her putting up any resistance."
"Furthermore, this is not the habit of that civilization."
Romani rejected this seemingly reasonable guess. As the former Solomon, possessing heaven-bestowed wisdom, he knew many of the world's secrets. Even regarding the wandering star beyond the heavens, he was by no means ignorant and was very clear about the habits of this predatory civilization.
"Let's establish a file first and try to gather intelligence in the future."
Da Vinci calmly interrupted the group's discussion: "At the very least, we need to know who the [ Angler ] is and what their purpose is..."
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, the [ Angler ] had brought deep apprehension to all of Chaldea.
Temple of Time.
"What exactly is the background of the [ Angler ]?"
Goetia, who had taken everything into his eyes, whispered: "Could it be another method of invasion by those evil gods from beyond the heavens?"
"Have these foolish, chaotic Great Demons already begun to break through the blockade of the Transcendent Ones?"
...
In Penacony, at this moment, the geniuses were not discussing any profound academic questions, nor were they conducting experiments unimaginable to ordinary people, but rather—
They were gazing intently at the lake surface, their expressions excited as they watched the [ Big Fish ] about to be reeled in.
At some point, the lake surface began to surge with turbulent waves, as if it were boiling water.
"Finally, a bite!"
Stephen Lloyd's happy voice rang out; the float on the water surface suddenly sank, and the tides of Imaginary and Quantum formed a vortex, creating a [ Fishing Hole ].
Then, a full half-minute passed, and the fishing line, which had extended through who knows how many dimensions and worlds, suddenly went taut.
An immeasurable force even sliced open an indiscernible crack in the dreamscape surrounding Penacony.
Vaguely, the geniuses could see that the fishing line finally plunged into an immeasurable multiverse completely different from their own universe.
As the fishing line tightened, in the energy tsunami formed by Imaginary and Quantum, there seemed to be some unimaginable behemoth struggling fiercely.
"Hahahaahhahah..."
Bewildering murmurs came from the other side, and the weight of life in them made everyone facing this scene widen their eyes.
"Hmm, is this a star-level big fish that's been caught?"
Ruan Mei watched with great interest; intuition told her that the existence about to arrive might...
"...be an unexpected surprise?"
Soon, Hermes exerted force with his wrist and pulled upward.
"Rip!!"
Only a flash of color representing life was seen, and then a figure quickly appeared on the shore.
Landing before them, it could clearly be seen that it was a long, slender dragon-snake shimmering with the beauty of life.
Then, the next moment, the dragon-snake's figure flickered slightly, transforming into a young girl about 1.67 meters tall, with large horns on her head, and silver hair that fell almost to the ground.
However, the moment an ordinary person laid eyes on this girl, they would almost automatically sink into that irresistible maternal charm and, from the bottom of their heart, respectfully call out, "Mother Goddess!"
"Tiamat, it's time to wake up!"
Hermes looked at this girl with a gentle gaze; she was also a figure radiating maternal love from head to toe—
Even if she created a million Lahmu and went to war with the gods and all living things on the ground...
Even if she beat up the Deliverer Fujimaru Ritsuka, stomped on the Axe King of Uruk, and defeated a Grand Servant with one punch...
Even if she wanted to merge all living things on the ground into the Black Sea of Life...
But, Hermes knew that she was a good person.
That's right, she was just a mother who purely wanted her children; what was wrong with that...
"I once gave birth to all living things on the earth, and I was once revered by them as a mother."
"I gave all my love to these children, but they left me, their mother."
Tiamat's voice was filled with the burning maternal love of the Primordial Mother, who regarded all life as her children.
"I wanted to keep all my children by my side..."
"But in the end, the children all abandoned me."
Hermes responded softly to the confusion and sorrow of this Mother Goddess of Life: "Tiamat, look here. Take a look, and you will understand everything..."
"Hmm?!"
Tiamat subconsciously turned her gaze toward Hermes, and the next moment, she saw it.
It was the Great Venerable of Creation, opening the heavens and the earth, creating all phenomena in the universe.
Under the gaze of the Great Venerable, all living things in the heavens were conceived and born one after another.
Then.
The Great Venerable of Creation transformed into the origin of the Great Dao, sitting atop the dimensional sea of stars, guiding all living things toward that dreamlike future of Pure Beauty.
From beginning to end, all living things in the Great Universe had never left the Father who created them.
This was because whether they were being conceived, born, growing up... or even passing away, they were all walking healthily and happily toward the future under the mysterious protection of their Heavenly Father.
However, unlike herself, the living things of the Great Universe had never abandoned the Heavenly Father who created them.
