Chapter 1453 The Secret of the Name

The death of God is still a distant word for Blaze, because God will not [die]. Even if their consciousness disappears, their souls are shattered, and their bodies are dismembered, they will turn into other things and continue to exist. They will not truly disappear.

Like Athena, her body turned into a giant Gorgon after losing her soul, and Pan was demoted to another god after repeated sacrifices and deaths.

This is the death of God in the eyes of mortals, but the death in the mouth of God is truly death. Ishtar spoke of her father's death very calmly.

The reason is probably...

"I guess it's because you want to fall in love with Ereshkigal, and your father is one of the main gods that stand in the way. You're so indifferent because it's a hindrance to your love."

"What are you thinking about? Even though he was hindering me, he had no selfish motives and was thinking about the development of the entire world. Even though he left me to die after I was skewered and dried, I was enjoying the fun between me and Ereshkigal at that time."

Blaze's eyes twitched. Fortunately, it was Ishtar who said this, otherwise it would sound like the prisoner was self-destructing.

"I'm so indifferent because the relationship between gods is like this. There is no so-called kinship between gods. Most gods are born by accident, and they are perfect and powerful at birth. Occasionally, some gods are deliberately cultivated, but there is no kinship between them either."

"No matter what god it is, from the moment of birth, they are just pillars to maintain the world. As long as one god acts recklessly, the world will be in chaos, or even destroyed."

"[Family affection] is a luxury for God, and sometimes it is even just a tool."

Ishtar held her chin in her hand, rarely showing mixed emotions over something that had nothing to do with Ereshkigal.

"It's hard to say. Maybe there will be exceptions." Blaze counted the gods he had seen.

Odin, this cheap dad, is quite humane, while Athena and Cyrene are too humane in various aspects, but Themis is okay.

As for Amaterasu, there is no need to say more.

They are not as cold and indifferent as Ishtar described them to be. Even though they possess extraordinary power and wisdom, they are still swayed by the same emotions as ordinary people.

Ishtar smiled like an old veteran.

"I offended Ereshkigal and was hung up to dry as bacon. My maid went to beg my father, the moon god Nannar, to save me, but he refused." Ishtar said calmly without much expression on her face, "The reason for his refusal was that Ereshkigal was also his daughter, and he didn't want to hurt her."

"Then why is Ereshkigal in the Underworld of Kul? She is not a god born in the Underworld."

Blaze didn't know how to answer this question. Maybe there were gods in the afterlife, but the rulers of the afterlife were often not born in the afterlife.

He had heard Hebi talk about the power structure between kingdoms. Every time a new area was occupied, the royal family would send a trustworthy person to rule it. This trustworthy person was usually a member of the royal family.

To the gods, the afterlife is just a region. The gods need to send a god who is trustworthy enough to rule the afterlife and ensure that even the afterlife is under the rule of the gods.

However, the gods are not like humans who want to rule that area to gain some benefits. They simply need the afterlife to maintain the balance of the world.

And they have a more reliable way than the [royal family] to ensure that the afterlife is under their rule, that is the myth totem itself. The relationship between the gods is also a part of the totem, this relationship will connect the afterlife with the world of the living, forming a huge and complete myth totem.

But even the gods are afraid of the afterlife. Their immortality and eternity are for the living beings on earth, so there will be that [unlucky guy].

Perhaps in Cyrene's statement [Among the ten gods of death, nine are crazy, one is mad, and one is an unlucky guy], the unlucky guy refers to the fact that every previous god is an unlucky guy.

"No matter who it is, the gods, including me, are trying to interfere with other gods, either to prove that they are more correct or to try to seize power. Even my righteous, selfless, and fair brother, the sun god, tried to arrange a husband for me for the good of the world."

"Now it seems that perhaps the gods have instinctively sensed the existence of the totem, and are trying to use this method to expand their totems and emphasize their presence."

"Is this why you are the Mistress of Heaven and Earth?"

"No~ I am very sure that I did this because I wanted to, not because of something boring like a mythological totem." Ishtar shook her head proudly.

"Would you go out of your way to do something big just to add something to your totem?"

"That sounds boring, but I will use the totem to kill some guys, such as Balder, Adam and the like." Blaze was thinking about Balder and Adam. These two guys were like dog-skin plasters, so it would be better to take them off quickly.

"Oh, that sounds interesting!"

Blaze looked at Ishtar. It was a rare sight to see such an ancient god who spoke so unscrupulously. He just happened to have a question he particularly wanted to ask.

"How did you decide on the names of your mythological totems? This is something that was only discovered recently."

Ishtar tilted her head, as if considering whether or not she could answer the question, but the result of her thought was, "I am Ishtar, I will say whatever I want to say."

She waved at Blaze, and when Blaze came over, she put her arms around Blaze's neck and leaned close to Blaze's ear.

This was a rather ambiguous action, and Blaze shook his head uncomfortably.

Ishtar, who was talking to herself, immediately pinched Blaze's chin impatiently, fixed Blaze's head, opened her mouth next to Blaze's ear and blew a breath.

Blaze's eye twitched. He strongly suspected that Ishtar was simply playing a trick on him, but... Ishtar would only play such ambiguous behavior with the person she loved.

The proof was that the sound of Ishtar's blowing appeared in his mind, and he would remember it again whenever he wanted.

This is not a breath, it is a sentence, a word that cannot be said, a mystery that cannot be revealed.

This is the answer that even the self-willed and extremely selfish Ishtar would not say directly, and can only tell it indirectly.

"When you have a higher translation skill, you will understand the meaning of my words."
