Chapter 364: The Mother of All (2)
—
Neji was not Gilgamesh. Despite having replaced the King of Heroes down to his name and existence, the King's past was not Neji's own. Enkidu for whom Gilgamesh changed his whole being, was not someone Neji had any emotional attachment to.
In Neji's mind, Enkidu was just a character from an extra-long movie, which was Gilgamesh's memories. So when he saw the ashes that were Enkidu, the only reason he felt sad and angry, was on behalf of the main character of the said movie, rather than feeling as if something had been stripped from his own self.
This and that was, fundamentally, different.
At most, he felt a little regret that Enkidu was gone.
Unfortunately, even that feeling of regret did not last long.
As the mountain that held the cave was destroyed, erased from the face of the planet, a dot of red floated above it. The figure of a voluptuous woman with crimson-red hair and ash-white skin was visible in Neji's zooming eyes.
[Tiamat (???) – Goddess of Creation – Tier 49]
"My fucking god..."
That woman wasn't Tiamat, the cursing Neji was sure of it. No way was that Tiamat. While he recalled Tiamat had enough mana to travel from this solar system to another, it wasn't enough to reach that Tier.
Tier 49 wasn't a joke.
Besides, the appearance was clearly different. Tiamat looked like a girl in her middle school, with light blue hair and multicolored eyes – she also had huge horns that spun like a snake.
This woman was entirely different. Red hair, a thick curvy body like that of a MILF, and although she had horns they were much smaller than Tiamat.
Lastly, the question mark beside her name. The Gamer System only failed to observe someone's identity once – when Neji met Lady Luck for the first time. When he met Contessa Fate, he could see her name, though the tier was not visible, and he was sure that was only because Fate allowed him to see her name.
Following that line of logic,
The only other people who should be able to hide their true name from the Gamer System would be... an Abstract.
Neji huffed a little as ashes were flying by his side. Sparkles of fire and ash were floating all around the area, and he stood beside Rhongomyniad amidst all that. Neji ignored his Health Bar that filled up, regenerating from the little damage the explosion did, while he stared at the woman floating far and slowly approaching his spot.
"Loli Luck?"
Neji wiped his bloody lips with an armored finger and stood up straight, as he stepped forward with Rhongomyniad with a serious expression.
