Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 824 Gilga, who acts solely on intuition
Ishtar reminded Gilga that the people of Enser were so devout because Enlil and the gods of Enser had indeed rescued them from the miserable life of slavery and treated them kindly and with tolerance.

However, Gilga not only didn't care, but even knowing her identity, he still wanted her to become the Queen of Gods.

Ishtar then grew thoroughly weary and simply handed over his priesthood to Isis of Mulholland.

As a result, Gilga behaved very obediently in the face of this weather heroine, known for her peaceful temperament, generosity, and elegance.

After all, she was the wife of Osiris, the Lord of Nature and God of the Dead of Mulholland.

Moreover, they are very powerful themselves.

When Inanna saw that scene from the distant outer realms, she would probably be furious... No matter how powerful Isis and Osiris are, they are not as strong as her and Enlil!

She could certainly agree with Isis's moral standards and conduct, but... if they were really on the battlefield, she could handle the couple all by herself.

The embodiment of the law will not have any divine duties that it cannot control, and the Enser pantheon, except for the second generation, generally possesses the divine duties of war.

Decisiveness is their instinct.

The gods who control war must understand what sacrifice and abandonment mean.

Therefore, it's perfectly normal for Enlil and Inanna to ultimately choose to abandon Gilga.

Almes had always believed that evil was not an intolerable sin.

Even after hearing about Gilga's many crimes, he didn't take it too seriously.

Having lost Enlil's inexhaustible source of power, the Enser pantheon was left with only a few city districts, areas where ordinary people could easily escape. Gilga couldn't afford to go too far.

Even the most greedy man should understand that he can only continue to exploit people as long as they are alive.

Unless he has the ability to transform himself into the god of the dead... but Gilga is so pleasure-seeking, he certainly wouldn't do something so stupid.

But now, Armies doesn't feel that way anymore.

Being both stupid and wicked is truly the biggest taboo in life.

How exactly did Enlil and Inanna manage to have such a child?

Armies was greatly puzzled.

Even if opposing laws suddenly and inexplicably hit it off, resulting in the child having some terrible attributes... well, that would only be like Nanna-Sin, right?

If Enlil and Inanna had chosen to part ways after discovering that their relationship would result in their children having their divine power reduced to a mere trace by opposing laws, instead of trying again, they could have avoided a lot of trouble.

Almes had already determined that he was overthinking things.

Enlil could not possibly pay such a high price for Gilga.

Armies' eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately grasped the key point... It must be to resurrect Nanna-Sin.

In other words, although Nanna-Shin perished as a demigod, his soul was still preserved intact by someone.

Otherwise, even if Enlil and Inanna had a way to create a suitable body for him, he still wouldn't be saved.

This is something not everyone can do.

unless……

Almes suddenly remembered something: in the Orc Wars, besides the gods of Toril, there was another famous bystander, Asmodeus.

Gruush once attempted to enter the nine levels of hell.

But his chaotic and evil nature only earned him the merciless banishment of the will of hell.

Asmodeus had just settled his territory at that time, and although he did not show up, he must have been worried that this war-hungry orc god would direct his hatred toward Hell.

The Abyss Bloodbath and Paradise Mountain had already taken a toll on him, and he certainly didn't want another endless series of enemies.

Hmm... It must have been that time that Asmodeus witnessed Tiamat's evil and conspiracy, and for a moment lost his mind, inviting this Queen of the Five Colors into the first layer of Hell and making her the ruler of the first layer.

This is the most absurd and foolish thing the Lord of Hell has done since he took power.

Even Asmodeus, who was extremely patient, couldn't endure it for long.

Even the lords of the bottomless abyss can openly mock him when they think of it... without incurring the merciless retaliation of the demons.

After all, even Asmodeus himself publicly admitted that he had made a moment of folly.

This was the most ridiculous mistake of Asmodeus's life, which was steeped in intrigue and scheming.

Even though he swiftly dealt with most of the traitors afterward, outsiders like Armes, when they think of that period, still immediately think of Tiamat, who made a fortune from the bloodshed.

Otherwise, Almes wouldn't have suddenly remembered the Lord of Hell... During the Orc Wars, Hell and the Abyss, which were still recovering from their previous defeats, were practically nonexistent.

The embodiment of the law does not discriminate between good and evil.

Being willing to save miserable mortals doesn't mean they'll directly consider the Lord of Hell their enemy.

Especially Asmodeus.

As far as Almes knew, most of the incarnations of the laws were in favor of this Lord of Hell.

On the level of laws, Asmodeus is more credible than most gods.

After all, the Lord of Hell was rational enough to know which contracts could not be broken.

Then, Armes can connect some things.

For example, even though it's a closed world, there are always demons who can find it.

And then there's Asmodeus, who happens to be blocking Almes's way in. Almes had long suspected this... Given the Lord of Hell's paranoia, even with Hyronis's approval, he shouldn't have been so quick to conclude that Almes was a suitable candidate.

But if he already knew the inside story and then went along with it, that would be quite normal.

Finally, there is the world will that is extremely confident in its reappearance.

Armies never understood his confidence.

That's practically self-destructing!

It's understandable to be seriously injured and on the verge of death.

After all, it is the embodiment of the world's will. As long as the world still exists, time will naturally solve all problems.

A world will capable of self-destruction... shouldn't it result in a dilapidated, soon-to-be-broken world?

How could such a complete world have been left behind... it didn't even affect the formation of his extreme iceberg region.

However, Armes always held the world in awe, feeling that it was capable of anything.

Moreover, this world is a rare exception, conforming both to his observations and feelings, and to Taiji's prophecy from back then.

Armies chose to trust.

He wasn't wrong in believing it.

That is, they overestimated the power of the world's will.

The laws of Enlil and Inanna state that positive fusion can only result in a kind, weak, incompetent, and lazy son, while lateral fusion is even worse, producing only a purely negative entity.

However, when used as positive and negative poles, it can create an extremely powerful isolation network.

Only in this way can it be explained how the sun god can only be above all the strong within his own divine kingdom.

Where there are positive and negative poles, there must be an outlet for energy, and the sun is indeed the most suitable to take on this responsibility.

However, these alone should not be enough to make the world's will pay too high a price.

The resurrection of Nanna-Shin would be a huge drain on the laws of any world.

Unless... no, it can't be!

Armies suddenly turned and glanced at Katharina.

As far as he knew, the only way in the multiverse to bypass the restrictions of the laws and allow Nanna-Sin to be resurrected without becoming a god was to be reborn as a descendant of the dragon race.

It doesn't have to be a pure-blooded dragon, as long as it's a descendant with a higher bloodline concentration.

wrong.

Almes immediately dismissed his wild thoughts... Although Enlil didn't say much, his hatred for the five-colored dragon queen would never change.

He could not possibly allow his son to be reborn as a descendant with the bloodline of a white dragon.

There must be another way.

Yes, right?
Almes thought carefully, even as he heard Gilga's arrogant command, "Go and divide that refined gold into three parts. We'll each take 40%, and I'll leave you 20%. Isn't that good enough for you?"

After saying something incredibly stupid like, "Hurry up and get moving!" he grinned.

Katarina would never recognize him and Hermes as two different people again!

Of course, if we only consider divine reactions, he and Hermes are indeed not very related.

But can't you read the reaction?

An incarnation of a powerful god, completely obedient to a mortal... and even transformed into his appearance, shouldn't it be that he, Armes, is the original being!
It feels like a scam!
Can a god-king act solely based on intuition?

Forget it, why bother arguing with a fool who's doomed to die?
If Tiamat really comes later, she might just take care of Gilga.

Enlil knew his son better than he did; who knew what other schemes were involved!
He should stay away, lest he get splattered with dirty blood.

Anyway, he has already done everything he wanted and was prepared to give away.

Almes glanced at Hermes standing in the shadows, then looked at Gilgamesh: "Even now, we can't distribute things properly."

My presence here doesn't represent only myself.

"King Gilga, perhaps we should open the remaining two caves first, and then consider how to allocate them?"

“Then I should take the largest share! This is my father’s heirloom!” Gilga said, uttering these rebellious words, and walked out first.

He hadn't even considered the possibility that Hermes might stab him in the back.

This is an intuitive being, an intuitive being... Almes had to tell himself this twice.

He would never again feel that there was anything to envy about someone with keen intuition.

Leaving everything to one's intuition... Hah~ Even Katharina wouldn't be this crazy!
"Wow!" Gilga exclaimed sincerely.

Armes walked out with a melancholy expression, glanced at the newly opened cave, and then couldn't help but look at Gilgamesh with a surprised expression.

Aren't you King Enser?

Why would someone get so excited over a mountain of gold?
Although it's been piled up into the shape of a pyramid, it's not a magical artifact!
It's just a pile of gold.
