Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Although she let it slip herself, revealing her identity as a 'goddess,' she never said she was the goddess of the underworld! How did they guess her real name so easily?

Eresh had originally thought that only Persephone of Greece could enjoy such treatment, but now—it was as if the star (miracle) that illuminated the Greek underworld thousands of years ago had finally graced her with its favor.

Even if the person in front of him wasn't that one, it didn't seem to matter to Ereshkigal; he might even prefer someone better.

After being treated so gently and understood—a surge of emotion and bittersweetness welled up all at once!

She wasn't seeking that great Greek hero, but rather a single word of affirmation from the lonely goddess of the underworld.

When you see the curved corners of Ye's mouth, you know that the other person has already confirmed your identity.

"Aaaaah...!! I admit it, alright? I am Ereshkigal, you weirdo, thanking me all of a sudden—why? If you know I'm Ereshkigal, you should understand that I'm the goddess of the underworld. How could I possibly be gentle to humans...?!"

At this moment, Ai Lei placed her hands in front of her body, her fingers interlaced and clattering nervously. Her face flushed red, and she became increasingly flustered, desperately trying to deny what she was really saying...

This perfectly demonstrates what it means to be stubborn and refuse to admit defeat!

Chapter Seventy-Seven: What? It's Mom! Don't scare me...! Wait, Mother?!

"Where did you hear that rumor and get fooled? You fool... I have absolutely no interest in humans. All living things are disgusting. But, if you really like me and want me to stay with you no matter what..."

As she talked, she seemed to gradually calm down and regain her composure and elegance. She was determined to get back at them. How could she let her goddess keep breaking down like this!

What's wrong with this person?! What kind of magical power does he possess?

Eresh smiled and said, "—It wouldn't be so bad to accompany you, even if it means risking my life?"

Ereshkigal, who spoke with a smile that seemed to condemn people to death, truly lived up to the majesty of the goddess of the underworld. Those who did not understand her true nature might very well have been deceived.

No—it should be said that even if Ereshkigal from the Age of Gods was a benevolent god, he would still lean towards the dark and terrifying side, which would be somewhat difficult for humans to accept. But this one is Ereshkigal who possessed Rin and was influenced by a combination of her personalities.

This woman possesses an amazing sweetness that can achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

"Death? Death is not the end of life—when one's obsession is strong enough to transcend this universe, even covering the world with one's own will, changing celestial bodies and all phenomena to construct a human universe is not such a difficult thing. Instead of going to your place, why don't you come and play here?" Night casually uttered many shocking words.

Even now, within his physical body's cosmology, there are many soul concept entities of his companions.

"Huh?!" Ellie-chan was stunned, even a little frightened.

To say that changing the world and all things with one's own will is not that difficult?

In this day and age, even a mother couldn't accomplish that kind of miracle.

The most crucial question is—why does this person have absolutely no reverence for death?! Hey!

Eresh noticed a kind of 'divinity' in the other person's eyes that was different from that of the gods. It was not the divinity possessed by the gods in mysticism, but a sense of transcendence.

It was as if the stars and the universe were contained within its sight; compared to that, any physical body was far too insignificant and fragile.

If one possesses such a powerful soul, death may not be so terrifying.

Suddenly, Night spoke up: "From birth, they are assigned a job and have no freedom whatsoever. They don't even have a single decent friend with whom they can communicate normally. This is the goddess of the underworld in Mesopotamia—even Persephone has witnessed the beauty of spring and can return to the earth for a portion of the year—yet that goddess can only stay in the dark underworld forever."

Those words drew the attention of Rin, who looked at her Servant with shock and worry.

Is this all there is to Ereshkigal's life? Even a goddess like her lived such a lonely and miserable life?

Unbelievable!

At this moment, Yurin felt a little concerned for the other person, and even felt sorry for this goddess. How could someone not have a single 'friend' from birth to the present?!

Ereshkigal trembled: "You...you—"

'How does he know me so well?'

"Yet—even under such circumstances, she remained steadfast in her duty, diligently guarding the souls of the underworld. Those birdcages that shelter millions of souls from the cold winds were all painstakingly woven by her own hands. I will not pity her; no one has the right to pity this proud and strong-willed goddess. But I must praise your achievements—"

Night: "As the pinnacle of evil (the god of evil, the pinnacle of wickedness), I acknowledge—I acknowledge (respect) your perseverance and determination to shelter humanity from the wind and rain and to walk alone! In contrast to my evil, such shining goodness, if it remains undiscovered—it would be too tragic."

“If no one else can acknowledge you, then I will… You are also—the only and most beautiful flower blooming in the Mesopotamian underworld.”

"!!!!" It wasn't pity, but rather—respect, admiration, and recognition of her efforts over the past few centuries!

In that instant, it felt like everything was worth it. Even the proud and arrogant side of the little angel, Ai Lei, completely crumbled, leaving only endless shyness and panic.

What, what, what, what?

Huh? Ee?!

"Th-thank you, but-you're wrong about one thing. I...I also have friends, okay? Friends like these, with whom I can communicate normally!! You're the first one—!" She said loudly and stubbornly that she had friends, but in her haste to finish, she realized that she seemed to have said something too ambiguous. Instantly—Ailee covered her face with her hands and silently squatted down with her knees together.

——! ! !

She wanted to die—to leave this world completely.

Wouldn't saying it this way make it seem like the other person has a very special meaning to you?

But she really is—

“I’m so happy—”

Huh?! 'Happy'! Equally happy, as if her innermost thoughts had been spoken, Ereshkigal slightly raised her head.

"I mean—it's nice to be friends with you." It's just such a simple sentence.

Ellie instantly lost all her goddess-like majesty, which she had just regained but vanished again. She said hastily, "You...you're happy? Really? You mean...maybe we'll get along very well..."

Eileen, who was excitedly standing up, shyly put her hands together as if supporting herself on the ground, her arms tucked in front of her body, and her face flushed.

Just because the other person acknowledged him as a 'friend,' he was so excited about having his first friend that he felt like he had unlimited energy.

Sudden--

Mom: "Aaaaaa—(Adorable Ellie-chan, the children get along very well, and Mom is very happy.)"

Ti's mom, who had inexplicably been fed dog food but felt incredibly sweet, accidentally let out a cry.

Instantly—Aileen's whole body bristled, not only because of the terrifying aura emanating from Tiamat, but also because her conversation with Night had just been discovered by others, instantly making her feel tense and terrified of dying.

"No, no! Who saw us together?" Ellie frantically shuffled around, trembling as if trying to find a place to hide. She instinctively moved closer to Ye, as if subconsciously wanting to rely on him.

They had only met once, but within a few words they seemed to have already come to approve of each other and trust each other completely.

Yurin's face darkened, indicating she had something to say: ? ? ? Am I not human?

Even without mentioning her mother, Rin was there the whole time.

Suddenly—a teenage version of Tiamat emerged from the shadows: "Don't be afraid, don't be scared! It's Mommy! Little Ellie, the human child, isn't... an evil beast. She's... someone I can date. Mommy supports you! Hehe!"

As she spoke, Ti's mom flashed an incredibly cute and sweet smile.

Ai Lei breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously relaxing: "What? It's Mother... Don't just run out and scare people like that! Wait, wait—Mother?!?!?!" Horrified!

Chapter 78 The more useless a child is, the cuter they are! Ereshkigal, could you be any more颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and a lack of motivation)?

In the Gemini Goddess's inner list, this person is definitely at the top of the list of the people she least wants to encounter after descending to the mortal world!

Symbolizing the principle of return, Tiamat is the common mother of all the Mesopotamian gods! The creator goddess Tiamat.

Ereshkigal's mother? That's her—

Yurin nearly fainted from fright, her hair suddenly standing on end: "!!!"

Creation—the Mother Goddess of Creation!

Even though this creator goddess looks unexpectedly sweet, with a scarf around her upper body and even a short JK skirt on her lower body, she looks just like a sweet young girl.

No, no, no, that's all just appearances! This is the supreme god in a mythological system.

Just think of the other party's legendary reputation in mythology; even a breath from them could shatter him.

This is the lineup on Father's side, the ultimate enemy, an insurmountable mountain of despair, the one whose very name made Rin abandon her rebellion and prepare to cooperate with Yoru to save Tokiomi's life—the ultimate power.

Trembling with fear—Rin, who hadn't even mastered the art of magic and was still a child, was like a newbie who hadn't even left the starting village yet, suddenly encountering a max-level, top-tier boss in a game. How could she not be afraid?

Ti's Mom: "It's Mom. Hehe—I've come to protect the human child. Although Mom loves all children... but for a specific individual, I can also... (sneaks a glance) The human child is being targeted by a bad beast... No, don't learn bad habits."

As she spoke, Ti Ma suddenly disappeared, then suddenly reappeared in front of Ai Lei, grabbed Ai Lei's small hand, and then pulled her to Ye's side.

“Son of man—touch…” Mom thought about what she had watched at noon called 'television'. It seemed that this was how humans fell in love: holding hands—and then… going on a date.

"Aileen... good boy, it's okay to be with her... you won't go astray!" Mom looked at Ye with pleading, starry eyes, as if she really hoped Ye would agree.

“You can’t say Aika is a bad beast… She doesn’t have any ill intentions towards us.”

"No... is that so? Tch. Mother, I'm a little disappointed." Perhaps because Aika wasn't in front of her, and because Aika only had an aura and wasn't a real beast, Ti Ma was able to restrain herself a little, only showing a disappointed expression and uttering cute interjections.

But Tiamat, still trying to correct the Son of Man and prevent him from being led astray by that despicable blondie, is making a final effort. (Aiko's hair is platinum blonde, and she's half blond—the other one is, of course, Nero.)

“Son of Man—touch, hold hands.” As she spoke, Mother Tyrion took Night’s hand and placed it on the back of Ellie’s hand.

Eresh was initially terrified when she saw her "Mom," thinking she was going back to the underworld. However, after her mother's series of harmless, even helpful, actions, she was reassured.

Ereshkigal: ? ? ! "Mom! !!!"

Is this what it feels like to be pampered by your mother? Ouch!

Even after that hand separated from Ye's, Ai Lei couldn't help but pick up her own hand and keep stroking the back of her hand that had just been touched, looking dazed and inexplicably blushing.

"I'm so happy—I'm a mother, and I can help the children—so good, so good—Human Child and Ereshkigal are both so good. But—"

As she spoke, Ti Ma looked at Ai Lei.

Ereshkigal: "Huh?? What, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

When facing Ti Ma, Ai Lei felt inexplicably guilty and nervous.

“You’re too good. Mother is a little worried. You can totally be a little more down. I’ll help you.” Clearly, Mother Ti had also heard what Night had said to Ellie earlier.

The lonely goddess of the underworld! Even Tiamat could empathize with her the most.

Since the beginning of creation, it has no longer been needed by children, it has been abandoned, and has been drifting in the sea of ​​imaginary numbers ever since.

Eternal silence, so lonely! So lonely! Utterly lonely!

Ti's mother knew that feeling all too well. Perhaps because they had similar experiences, Ti's mother felt an extra maternal love for Ai Lei.

Ereshkigal: "What?! Even if I'm just a gloomy, damp, useless shut-in that no one likes, you don't have to remind me like that, Mother!"

Ereshkigal's mental state is crumbling... she's even turning to the dark side...!

Hehe, her biggest insecurity was something her mother encouraged her to be even more颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or demoralized). Even though she often talked about being the most virtuous and intelligent goddess in Mesopotamia, she lacked confidence in her own charm.

Especially after making friends, she started to care more about her image. As a result, her mother told her to be even more decadent. If she became even more decadent, wouldn't she become like those dead fat otaku among humans?

The thought of that terrifying image, that aversion and disgust, sent chills down Ellie's spine.

"Who would like such a useless piece of trash!" Even though she knew that her mother didn't really mean it that way, her long-standing insistence was her last pride. How could she give up her duty as the goddess of the underworld? Well—although in this era, it seems that she has nothing to do all of a sudden.
