"Shishou..." Asher whispered. He knew he'd have to face this sooner or later. Calm down... it's nothing, right? I just went out for a while, and came back with a woman. It's fine, I just need to explain it clearly.
Asher kept reassuring himself, then looked up and asked, "Shishou, are things in the Land of Shadows settled?"
"No, not yet. I'll have to go back in a bit," Scathach shook her head, jumping off the griffin. Her red eyes sized up Asher, then glanced at Tiamat next to him, and she smiled slightly: "I just saw you riding the Pegasus back to Camelot Castle, so I followed to take a look. It seems you've had quite an eventful experience recently."
Asher didn't know how to answer Scathach for a moment, so he just quietly shut his mouth and acted like an ostrich.
"If you're going to blame him, I advise you to give up,
Scathach." Fortunately, Morgan, sitting on the throne, said slowly, "Your apprentice has done something unprecedented, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he saved the world."
Scathach raised an eyebrow, repeating, "Saved the world?"
"The woman standing before you now is the Genesis Mother Goddess, the Mother of all life."
Scathach froze, scrutinizing Tiamat suspiciously. Asher quickly nodded in confirmation: "I can guarantee that Sister Morgan is telling the truth! You can also ask Merlin, he's the one who took me to Uruk this time!"
Scathach's gaze lingered on Tiamat for a moment.
Honestly, from Tiamat's current appearance, she didn't quite fit the image of a Genesis God, but the peaceful aura emanating from her made it impossible not to believe Morgan's words.
"It seems you've encountered quite a few things since you disappeared in Uruk," Scathach said softly. They knew Asher had entered Uruk before, because Merlin was still livestreaming at that time, but since Asher entered Tiamat's dream, the livestream stopped. The woman now called the Genesis God was probably someone Asher met at that time.
"How did you know I disappeared in Uruk for a while..." Asher froze, then suddenly realized, "Was it a livestream?!" Seeing that no one spoke, Asher immediately understood, cursing Merlin the bastard inwardly. Then he looked up at the three and said, "Regarding the things I encountered later, I can explain
them to you now."
"I'm quite interested. If you don't mind, tell us," Scathach said.

Time slowly passed. Tiamat stood behind them, observing the scene, then tilted her head slightly in confusion. She couldn't quite understand. Asher like this... didn't seem to match his claim of "having a lot of say," did it?
However, Tiamat wasn't particularly concerned about external matters. She yawned softly, tears welling up in her eyes. Limiting her own power wasn't without cost.
Most of her power was sealed, but as a trade-off, Tiamat easily became drowsy. The journey from Uruk to Britain wasn't long, and it wasn't enough to cause travel fatigue, but Tiamat was already very sleepy. It wasn't exhaustion; she simply wanted to sleep.
"So that's how it is, there was an important reason for my main body leaving this time." Seeing his Shishou and sister looking relieved, Asher finally felt at ease.
Tiamat looked up at Asher, then at the several women talking to him, walked forward, and hugged Asher's arm.
In a moment, when you see my Shishou and sister, you can smile. That will make a better impression. Recalling Asher's earlier words in her mind, and feeling several strange gazes on her, Tiamat showed a smile that was completely out of place.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Asher was a little confused.
"Accompany me, sleep." Under several piercing gazes from behind, Tiamat dragged Asher out of the hall.
"Mother, are you really not doing this on purpose?!" Asher roared inwardly.
"Oh, Lily, put this back!" Asher raised his hand, and a golden halo appeared behind him. The Lance of the Forefront shot out from the halo, falling directly into Artoria's hand. Asher had only discovered this on the way back. He didn't know what Gilgamesh had done, or if it was because he had been to the armory, but Asher could now summon a personal armory, or rather, the Gate of Babylon, from which he could retrieve and store weapons. If Gilgamesh's words were to be believed, he could only use a quarter of the Gate of Babylon, but honestly, he didn't feel any impact. A quarter of the Gate of Babylon was still quite large.
Artoria paused when she received the Lance of the Forefront, then looked up and asked, "You used this weapon?!"
"Can't I use the Lance of the Forefront?" Asher motioned for Tiamat to stop, then looked at Artoria in confusion, wondering why she was suddenly so nervous.
"Remember, never use this weapon unless it's absolutely crucial," Artoria said seriously. "Using this weapon for too long, Rhongomyniad will deify a person, and their mental and spiritual structures will change." Although he didn't feel anything amiss during use, since Artoria warned him so solemnly, Asher still nodded and said, "I understand."
"Then I'll put it back first." Artoria said, then left the hall. On the other side, Asher was dragged out of the hall by Tiamat with terrifying strength.
Scathach watched Tiamat's retreating back with an extremely subtle gaze. Was this really a mother-son relationship...? For some reason, she felt this scene seemed somewhat familiar. It seemed Asher had used a similar excuse to sleep with her before?
"Mother, what exactly do you want to do?" On the other side, after leaving the hall, Asher finally couldn't help but ask.
"Sleepy, sleep together," Tiamat said.
"I know, but what did you mean by your actions just now?"
"You told me to smile," Tiamat's tone was as calm as if she were stating the most ordinary thing. Asher silently covered his face, thinking to himself, Mother, that action of yours just now was probably nothing short of a provocation to Shishou and Sister. Although he knew she genuinely tried her best to gain others' approval, the timing of that smile was truly too subtle.
"Where's the room?" Tiamat dragged Asher like a pillow. She walked to the corridor, looked left and right, her eyes confused. Asher sighed, dropping his shoulders in resignation, "Never mind, I'll take you." Anyway, they already knew Tiamat's identity. Since they didn't stop him just now, it meant they tacitly approved of Tiamat staying here. The rest could be explained slowly later.
Also, there was one more thing he could be relieved about: Ritsuka had said they were rushing to the next singularity, and Asher had thought a singularity had formed here. But now he was sure that the singularity wasn't here. This was finally reassuring. As for the singularity... that had nothing to do with him; Chaldea would solve those problems anyway.
Oh right, he still hadn't read the clay tablet Gilgamesh gave him...
Just as Asher thought of this, Tiamat had already thrown him onto the bed, then she climbed onto the bed herself. After pulling up the covers, she continued to hug Asher, like hugging a body pillow, and happily began to sleep.
Never mind... I'll check what Gilgamesh's clay tablet says when I wake up. It's not really convenient now. Feeling the soft skin contact and the instant warmth enveloping him, Asher had to temporarily give up on reading the tablet. He soon felt a little sleepy, perhaps influenced by Tiamat's drowsiness, and slowly closed his eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, in his dream, Asher vaguely heard a cold voice of relief by his ear. "Finally, the summoning was successful?" He frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.
What appeared before him was a strange hall. He glanced at the blonde woman standing beside him and was slightly stunned. Long golden hair tied into a high ponytail like a kendo girl, wearing tight clothing, her proud figure was captivating, and her emerald eyes held a sadistic expression.
The woman in front of him was an acquaintance of Asher's. Without a doubt, she was definitely Artoria, but she seemed more mature than the Artoria Asher knew. And... her personality also seemed a bit different from Lily's.
"Lily...? Where is this? How did I get here?!" Asher finally reacted belatedly.
"No, I'm not Lily." Artoria's face came closer, her pupils reflecting Asher's bewildered face. She reached out, gently stroking Asher's face, a predatory smile like a lion's curling at the corner of her mouth. "You can call me the Lion King. Of course, if you like the title 'Lily,' feel free."
"Is this the singularity Ritsuka mentioned?" Asher muttered. If he remembered correctly, this should be the Sixth Singularity...? Was it because he had traveled to the Land of Shadows before, causing the subsequent timeline to deviate, or something else?
"Take him to my room!" While Asher was still pondering these things, the Lion King spoke to the attendant beside her, then turned and walked out of the hall.
"From today onwards, he will be my Queen."
Asher froze, silently holding his forehead. He felt like he was just dreaming, and now he just had to wait for the dream to end. ...Hopefully it's just a dream.
