Chapter 1460 Can't Win

“Laughing and talking in a world of death? Don’t talk about impossible things.” Ereshkigal laughed.

“Life is the most important and precious thing for every living being in this world. How can we not feel pain and sadness when we lose it?”

"But living beings will always find something more important than life, and are willing to pay the price of their lives for it."

"No!" Ereshkigal was very sure. She raised her scepter, the black spear, and the entire underworld, Kul, shook and surged. The gray tree roots intertwined with each other and continued to rise, like huge mountains.

"Creatures!"

"I will take away half of your world, and half of your laughter will turn into weeping and sorrow!"

Ereshkigal waved her hand and blasted Blaze away, smashing through the mountains of gray tree roots.

The scabbard on Blaze's waist shone brightly like never before. Every ripple seemed to be sweeping away the dust covering it. The scabbard, which was agitated again and again, seemed to be awakening from antiquity.

Just as people sing, it protects the king who has not lost it.

At the moment when the power accumulated to the maximum, Blaze pulled out half of the holy sword, and the black tree roots that were entangled and crowded around him were like dust blown away by a gust of wind.

"Cough cough--" Blaze coughed and forced himself to stand up. Bright red blood flowed through the gaps in his armor. Even the scabbard could not block all the damage.

Ereshkigal slowly fell from the air, and the moment her bare feet touched the ground, Blaze transformed into a silver werewolf and swung his left arm to smash at her.

This fierce blow caused fan-shaped cracks in Ereshkigal, but Ereshkigal, who took the blow head-on, was unscathed.

"It's a shame, but if death is to save more lives, we won't feel pain, grief, or hate you!"

"Take back what you said."

Blaze felt a chill running down his bones. It seemed that the mistress of Hadeskull was truly enraged for the first time.

She grabbed Blaze's arm and easily swung him up, hitting the ground.

"That's [your] idea, not everyone's!"

"You can complete the seven realms of life, and you can face death calmly, but that's only you! The vast majority of creatures in this world are not as strong as you. They can't even complete one realm. Their lives are destined to be ordinary when they face death."

"For ordinary creatures, life is the most precious thing to them. Don't decide for them that there are things more important than life!"

Blaze could hear the creaking sound of his bones about to separate, and the [Armor·Living Body] was covered with cracks from repeated collisions. Even Amaterasu could only hold his neck tightly to prevent herself from being thrown out.

As expected, [Gathering all seven constellations will allow you to defeat the god of death Scorpio] is also a great flag, but it has become impossible to conquer.

The mistress of the underworld Kul was very angry, as if to refute her plan to fight against the apocalypse and prevent Enlil from waking up, but Blaze, who was bearing Ereshkigal's attack, could feel her anger.

She was simply venting her anger on behalf of the ordinary creatures whom he had represented without her permission.

The lives of all living beings are equal, but what they experience and gain in life are like the continuous addition of ornaments, making the living beings themselves sparkle.

Those ornaments may be courage or honor, something more valuable than life. In the eyes of the creatures who possess these ornaments, they have the courage to give up their lives, and those glittering ornaments allow them to face death calmly.

But they are few and far between, and the vast majority of creatures are ordinary when facing death. Why should they be arbitrarily assumed that they will not feel pain even if they die when they strive to stay alive?

No wonder Ereshkigal hated Ishtar. This shining god who was responsible for the reproduction of all life gave up everything and died just to "love her." "I hate living beings. Only in this way can I take their lives."

"The living beings should hate me too, because I have taken away their most important thing."

"Death is the only equal injury."

"You who are more noble should not take the initiative to speak on behalf of the ordinary people. There are more than just you in this world!"

As Ereshkigal threw Blaze out, she waved her hand and summoned tree roots as big as a mountain. Blaze was smashed directly into them, and the force he endured was so great that the mountain-like tree roots shattered and burned at the moment of impact.

Blaze sank deeply into the extremely hard tree roots. The [Armor·Living Body] that burned red during the impact was covered with cracks, and his consciousness became blurred during the impact.

He was closer to death than ever before.

"Ishtar...you bastard..."

Blaze raised his hand with difficulty, and in his blood-stained field of vision he saw Ereshkigal approaching slowly and steadily.

It is said that the god of death, Kur, who is in the underworld, does not understand love. Isn't this completely the opposite?

She loves life more than any of us, just as she, as death, hates every life equally and loves every life equally.

We can't beat this guy because she's fighting for everyone as death.

Blaze sat on the ground. This was the first time he was knocked down and he didn't have the strength to stand up.

Ereshkigal walked towards them with brisk steps, and stopped at a distance not too far away.

Her pale cheeks were flushed, which was the result of anger and a little exercise.

What was a life-threatening battle for Blaze was just a jog for the mistress of the Underworld Kul.

She squatted down, hugging her knees, and put her right hand to her mouth, as if she was telling some little secret. She looked left and right while speaking in a low voice.

"Don't tell anyone that laughter can bring destruction. We should live without so many burdens and laugh as much as we can."

"It is my duty to bring pain and sorrow to people. I am the one who balances life and death, laughter and weeping. After all, I am the god of death."

"It sounds... difficult..."

"I am invincible in the underworld, Kur. This is what I should do with such great power." Ereshkigal patted her chest, her red face full of seriousness.

"Everyone just needs to keep fighting against death. You also have to keep working hard to defeat me and stop the expansion of the Underworld Kul."

"You definitely can't win, though."

"So this is what you wanted to do?"

Ishtar crossed her arms and made a rather high-profile appearance. As soon as she appeared, Ereshkigal immediately frowned.
