Chapter 1075 Tiamat
Chapter 1075 Tiamat
Ishtar and Ereshkigal are old enemies. In myths and legends, they are very at odds. For this reason, Ishtar even ran into the underworld to deal with Eresh without fear of death. Shikigal was killed in the end. Of course, as a god, even if he is killed, he can be resurrected.
"Actually, Ereshkigal is the last goddess of the Three Goddess Alliance." When Ishtar was depressed and irritable because of Ereshkigal's appearance, Quetzal suddenly said aside.
"What, Ishtar is not a member of the Three Goddess Alliance, but Ereshkigal is. You don't even know about this kind of thing."
With this information, everyone present looked at Ishtar in shock. Although Ishtar's performance was very unreliable before, they never expected that such an important thing could be wrong.
"That, that." Ishtar seemed to want to explain, but he couldn't think of a reason for a while, so he couldn't help but turned his head and looked outside the gate of the tower, pretending that he didn't hear it.
"It's a chain call. The reason why the head priestess died was not because of Ishtar, but because of Ereshkigal." Da Vinci said from the side.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up and bring back the king's soul, Uruk is indispensable now." Roman shouted.
"What's the matter, isn't this still a king?" Ishtar seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment just now, and looked at the little Shining in front of the throne with a smile.
Young Shining did not refute Ishtar here, but his eyes that seemed to be saying why you are so childish almost made Ishtar go berserk. Fortunately, Siduri tried to dissuade them, otherwise the two might fight. Ishtar may not give other people face, but she still has to give it to her number one believer, the priest.
"Underworld, this is so interesting."
Hearing that she was going to the underworld, Luvia immediately became interested. Not only her, Aozaki Orange, Nishi, Reinis, but also Flat, Sven and others were all very curious and wanted to see it. After all, that is the underworld, a place that modern magicians absolutely cannot go to.
"I understand your thoughts very well, but it's a pity that the underworld is not a place where living people can easily set foot." Just when these people happily wanted to go to the underworld, Roman's words were like pouring water on their heads in winter. Just like putting a bucket of ice water on them, it cools them down instantly.
Once a living person stays in the underworld for too long, they may stay there forever. In fact, not only humans, even gods, will weaken once they enter the underworld. Back then, Ishtar was killed by Ereshkiga in the underworld. This is the origin of the killing. This is the rule of the underworld. It is formulated to prevent powerful gods from going to the underworld without authorization and disrupting the rules of life and death.
Roman's words made the group calm down immediately. Although they wanted to see the underworld, if it was at the cost of their own lives, forget it. After all, this is not the root cause.
"Ereshkigal, make her look good this time."
In the end, it was decided that Matthew, Lixiang, Da Vinci, Ishtar, Shen Fei, King Arthur, and others would go to the underworld to bring back the soul of King Gilgamesh, and the others would stay in Uruk for the final battle. Once the king returns, he will attack Tiamat immediately.
"I'm going to jump, Maanna, open the door, hehe, this is your glory, this is all my strength——, break it, the mountain range shocks the salary of the star."
A group of people who came to Kuza City through the portal, Ishtar immediately flew into the sky, opened the treasure, and with the bow of Tianzhou Maanna, pierced the ground of Kuza City with one blow.
The underworld is underground in the land of Kusa City, and Lixiang accidentally entered the underworld from here before.
"Is this the underworld? Even the strength of the followers has been weakened."
From the land penetrated by Ishtar, a group of people passed through a layer of enchantment and came to the underworld. Da Vinci immediately looked around excitedly. The underworld is a very desolate place. The ghosts floating around, these ghosts are not even evil spirits, strictly speaking, they are just the residue of the soul.
"Be careful, don't fall, there is an abyss below, once you fall, no one can save you."
As everyone moved forward, Ishtar carefully reminded everyone not to approach the cliff on one side. Below this cliff is a bottomless darkness. It is said that there is a bottomless abyss.
According to the myths and legends of Mesopotamia, the world is composed of the sky and the earth, the underworld under the ground, and the abyss deeper than that. The abyss is the sea of nothingness, which is also the sea of imaginary numbers. Of course, this is the moon world. If you change it to other worlds, it will be called Quantum Sea, Quantum Space and so on.
After being reminded by Ishtar, the group immediately avoided the cliff. Although Shen Fei was not afraid, there was no need to take the risk. There are many differences in the legends of the Moon World, for example, There are legends that Tiamat appeared from the Sea of Imaginary Numbers at the beginning, and then created the world of Mesopotamia, so the Sea of Imaginary Numbers also has the legend of the Sea of Life in the legends of Mesopotamia.
"Why did you come here? I've been waiting for a long time."
When everyone moved along the road and came to a huge stone gate, King Gilgamesh jumped out from behind a stone on one side. From his words, it can be guessed that he should have been hiding there for a while.
"He died from overwork, hahaha." Seeing King Gilgamesh, Ishtar laughed immediately.
"Goddess idiot, please lower your voice."
"Wang, are you okay?" Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Matthew hurriedly interrupted them.
"What can I do, but it's just the underworld, and it's not the first time I've come here."
Although he was a little surprised that he appeared in the underworld again, Wang quickly calmed down. Just like he said, this is not the first time he has come to the underworld, and he is already familiar with it, and he also knows that there will be rescuers. That's why he hid near the first gate. The reason for hiding was to avoid encountering the patrolling Galula spirit. Although he was not afraid, there was no need to fight against the goddess of the underworld.
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I can go back." Roman's voice sounded from the communicator. I have to say that Chaldea's technology is very powerful. Even the underworld can communicate, but it can only be communicated. There is no way to open the rules of the underworld.
"It's not that easy. This is the underworld. I'm already dead. I need Ereshkigal's consent to leave, and I have a question I want to ask Ereshkigal."
The underworld is easy to come in and difficult to get out. That layer of enchantment is not so easy to pass through. Before Lixiang was able to go out after entering, it was because of someone's help.
"Is that so? It seems that we have to continue." Hearing what King Gilgamesh said, the group could only move on. When they came to the huge stone gate, Ereshkigal's voice came from the gate, Asked everyone a question.
"Answer, living beings who have fallen into the underworld, answer the way of existence of their souls, the good and evil of souls, etc., and designate the Master to answer. Although the standards of beauty seem to be varied, there is still an absolute existence. Black can win white. , the earth can conquer the sky, so Ereshki and Ishtar are more beautiful."
"What? It's obvious that I'm more beautiful."
Hearing Ereshkigal's question, Ishtar immediately stood up, saying that he was the most beautiful existence, and King Gilgamesh laughed suddenly, but because he was with Ereshkigal Galle confronted, but Ishtar just gave the king a hard look, and then ignored it. In other times, she would never have exposed the matter so easily.
"Did I ask you, see the question clearly."
"The living." Ishtar then looked at the question carefully, then immediately turned to Shen Fei and Fujimaru Tachika and said, "No matter how you look at it, I should be the most beautiful."
"this."
Li Xiang and Shen Fei looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to answer for a while, both of them had seen Ereshkigal, so naturally they knew that the other's appearance was exactly the same as Ishtar.
"Calm down, calm down, don't forget what our purpose is to bring the king back, and this is the underworld." Roman hurriedly reminded.
"It's really a fatal problem, and it's still a choice between the two goddesses, that is, here is the singularity. If it is replaced by the real age of gods, this problem is enough to trigger a battle of gods.
Ishtar and other gods with the singularity are all servants summoned by heroic spirits, and their personalities are very different from those of the Age of Gods. If they were replaced by Ishtar from the Age of Gods, Shen Fei would definitely not dare to provoke them. That's a big problem. He doesn't like Ishtar so much as he likes Tohsaka Rin.
"Calm down, just like Roman said, don't forget our purpose." Shen Fei immediately comforted Ishtar in a low voice, and then gave his answer.
"Naturally, the respected Lord Ereshkigal, the most beautiful." After finishing speaking, Shen Fei immediately gave Lixiang a wink, and Lixiang immediately made the same choice as him, and the living would answer the questions. Only he and Fujimaru Tachika are alive.
"You guys are very discerning, see you at the next pass." Ereshkigal's voice sounded very happy after getting the result he wanted, and then the gate of the stone gate opened.
"Damn Ereshkigal, you actually did this." Even if he knew it was a strategy, Ishtar's expression was still very ugly.
"I definitely want to teach her a lesson." With the thought of teaching Ereshkigal a lesson, Ishtar was the first to step through the stone gate, and then his body shrank in a circle at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I came from such a lovely Ishtar, did I die from overwork again in the underworld?" Looking at Ishtar's shrinking body, King Gilgamesh laughed loudly, and he could see Ishtar Depressed, he was so happy.
"You might as well go to the abyss. The immortality grass that you finally found was stolen by a snake. It's unfortunate that such a person is the king of Uruk."
Ishtar, who has shrunk in stature, seems to have increased his IQ, and immediately hit the sore spot of King Gilgamesh. For the king, the immortal spirit grass is not important. Still did not eat, but was eaten by a snake, that would be a shame to the king, especially when the words were spoken from Ishtar.
"Okay, what's the matter, let's talk about it when we go back. Lixiang can't stay in the underworld for long." Under Roman's interruption, the group soon came to the second stone gate, still Ereshkigal Ask a question, but this time the question is about wealth. If the wealth on the ground can only be entrusted to one person, who should it be entrusted to? The only options are Ereshkigal and Ishtar.
"Ereshkigal." After seeing this question, the answer immediately popped up in the minds of the people present. The choice this time has nothing to do with the underworld where everyone is now, but Ereshkigal. , but everyone present knew Ishtar's character.
"Of course it's me." Ishtar yelled, but no one paid attention.
"The partner who fights side by side, trust, respect, and love, who is worthy of victory."
This is a problem with the third stone gate, and the result is naturally still Ereshkigal. At this time, Ishtar has shrunk even smaller than Ilya. I have to say that this state is very cute.It's so cute that Shen Fei has no choice but to move forward with her on his back.
It's not just her body that has shrunk for Ishtar, but also her strength, stamina and so on.
"It seems that there should be seven stone gates, corresponding to the legend that Ishtar was deprived of seven powers."
After passing through the fourth and fifth stone gates, Ishtar's body became smaller, and he could already sit on Shen Fei's shoulders. This result reminded Roman of the myth that Ishtar broke through. Into the Underworld to challenge Ereshkigal failed.
Then the group passed through the sixth stone gate and came to the front of the last stone gate.
"Is this choosing who is the best goddess?" After listening to the last question, Roman sighed helplessly. These seven questions were obviously used by Ereshkigal to target Ishtar.
"She cheated, obviously I am better, if it were me, I would definitely not cheat." Ishtar shouted dissatisfied.
"It would only be more excessive if it were you." King Gilgamesh directly stated the conclusion, which made everyone present nodded in unison. What kind of virtue is Ishtar in the myth? Clearly, Ereshkigal, on the other hand, is completely different.
"Welcome to the underworld."
With the correct answer to the seventh question, the stone gate opened, and the group stepped into the depths of the underworld. However, the surrounding situation surprised everyone, because this place is still very desolate. Logically speaking, there should be The temple of Ereshkigal is.
As a result, there is nothing around except a large number of strange cages for storing souls.
On this desolate ground, a goddess with long golden hair was standing there quietly, watching Shen Fei and his party.
"It seems that there is no need to fight." Seeing Ereshkigal, let Shen Fei understand that this place is really different from the game, and they did not experience any battles along the way.
"Ereshkigal, I'm here to ask you two questions, why did you join the League of Three Goddesses, and is Enkidu's body still in the underworld?"
On the way here, when the group had already regarded Ereshkigal as the last goddess of the real alliance of three goddesses, King Gilgamesh laughed at Ishtar again.
Originally, there was only one question King Gilgamesh wanted to see Ereshkigal, and that was to confirm Enkidu's physical condition, but now there is another one.
