I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

"Actually, I once heard Ritsuka, the Master of Chaldea, say that even if the Holy Grail is retrieved and the foundation of humanity is repaired, the damage caused by that singularity will not disappear, the dead lives will not return, and it is impossible to pretend that it never happened. It will just become more logical."

For example, if someone killed by an evil dragon recovers, and then the burning of humanity is stopped and the singularity is eliminated, even so, that person will not be resurrected. The fact that they were "killed by a demonic beast" will simply be treated as "killed by a wild animal." The same applies to Uruk. Even if the singularity is removed, the First Dynasty of Uruk will still be destroyed, just as it happened in history. The only difference is whether the destruction was by gods or a decline leading to replacement by later generations.

So you mean to say...

Upon hearing this, Ereshkigal stammered softly with a subtle expression, while Gensou nodded and affirmed:

“That’s right. According to the timeline, once this singularity is conquered, Uruk will be destroyed, and you Mesopotamian gods will also disappear. Therefore, you won’t be able to endure in the underworld for long this time.”

"...Did you and my sister say the same things?"

Ereshkigal, looking exasperated, said to Gensou, who was giving him a thumbs-up:

"If that's the case, then my silly little sister really spoils you; she didn't even beat you to death."

"The prerequisite for her killing me is that she can beat me..."

Gensou muttered a quiet complaint. Ereshkigal thought for a moment, then stood up, stretched, and looked at Gensou with a half-smile, saying:

"I'm telling you, how dare you say such a bold thing? Aren't you afraid that I'll seek out the Demon God Pillars for cooperation in order to survive?"

"Hmph, I wouldn't have dared to say that before, but now..."

Yuanxiang snapped his fingers and said with a smile:

“I can assure you that Ereshkigal, as a goddess, deeply loves humans who are destined to die, and for that reason alone you will not become an enemy of humanity.”

"Deep love or something, that's not it. I just don't like human souls being tainted by filthy things like the Demon Pillars, hmph."

Ereshkigal blushed and gave a soft hum, then tidied up her belongings in the temple. She picked up the sour fruit, went to the back of the temple, looked at the still-fresh earth of the grave, placed the fruit before it, and whispered:

"Alright, alright, I have seen your efforts. If a new high priest takes over your position in the future, I will personally descend and tell the newcomer about your decades of hard work, so that he knows that this temple once had a great predecessor. Now, I have to go save the world, so I will take my leave for now. Let's go, Yuanxiang. Didn't you have something important to discuss with me? Then let's not waste any more time."

"okay."

Yuanxiang glanced deeply at the grave, a hint of curiosity in his heart about the deceased's past. But he quickly focused his attention on his business. He had originally planned to use his wind power to fly directly to Uruk, but Ereshkigal wanted to leave Kusa City. So, you're the one who shouldn't waste time, and you're also the one who's taking it slow. What a hassle.

"Hehehe, is the little priest leaving? I knew it! How could someone like you stay here forever? Take care on your journey."

"Oh dear, I didn't expect the time to part to come so soon. No need to say goodbye, we will definitely meet again, little priest, take good care of yourself."

"Come, come, take these things. My legs are not good, and I don't have the strength to walk to the temple to make offerings, so I'll give these to you as an offering to the gods. After all, you are the priest. Priest, please take care."

Listening to the words of the old men as they left the city, Ereshkigal responded gently to each one. However, the goddess, having spent too long in the underworld, seemed oblivious to the fervor in the old men's eyes. Genji raised an eyebrow, but seeing the old man offer him a kind smile, he silently shook his head. The boy also fell silent. After leaving Kusa City, the knight, riding the wind, looked back at the city behind him. These past few days, these believers, with their devotion, had accompanied their goddess through the time known as 'mortal life'...

"Yuanxiang, what are you looking at? Did you leave something behind?"

"No."

Gensou shook his head, looked at the puzzled Ereshkigal, and said with a smile:

"I just think this city is quite interesting. If I have the chance in the future, maybe I can come and explore it a few times."

"Hmph, welcome, welcome. After all, this is a city under my name. It's just that I couldn't come to the real world before. Otherwise, in terms of prosperity, Uruk would be nothing."

Ereshkigal crossed her arms smugly and snorted. It has to be said, they are sisters after all; their actions and expressions are exactly the same.

"Speaking of which, Yuanxiang."

At this moment, Ereshkigal asked curiously:

"So, what do you think Gilgamesh wants from me?"

"Well... let Gilgamesh tell you the specifics."

Yuanxiang thought about the theories he had heard before and said with a headache:

"In short, the general idea is that you can open a hole so that the mother goddess Tiamat can fall through."

"Oh, is that so? It's just making a hole, which is nothing to me, Ereshkigal..."

The mistress of the underworld responded instinctively, but before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly realized something was amiss and exclaimed, her eyes wide:

"Mumumumu... Ptooey ptooey ptooey!!"

Ereshkigal spat to the side, straightening his knotted tongue, and then said in astonishment:

"Mother Goddess?!"

"Correct."

Gensho calmly nodded and answered affirmatively:

"Now the Mother Goddess Tiamat has transformed the Indian Ocean into her Sea of ​​Life, and a terrifying enemy is about to be born from her. Our task is to eliminate it in the meantime!"

"…Gengoku, hurry up! What is Gilgamesh thinking? That's the Mother Goddess!!"

Ereshkigal pressed his temples, looking exasperated. He sighed, as if unable to accept it, glanced at Genjiro whose expression remained unchanged, and said helplessly:

"Do you even know what kind of enemy we're going to be facing next?"

"I know, but this isn't the first time I've dealt with gods, so there's nothing to panic about."

Yuanxiang calmly said:

"Even gods can die if they are killed; it's just a matter of whether we can or cannot do it. Alright, calm yourself down. Don't be like this when you're in front of Gilgamesh, or that 'hahaha' king will definitely laugh at you."

"I know, I won't let people laugh at me. Hey, hey, hey, don't suddenly speed up! Give me some time to adjust, hey!"

Amidst Ereshkigal's exclamation, a whirlwind rushed by, arriving at the temple in Uruk in the shortest possible time. Gilgamesh immediately set aside his affairs and succinctly explained the current situation to Ereshkigal. Then, he stood up and shouted:

"Goddess of the Underworld, Ereshkigal! In the name of the King, I command you! Be prepared at any time to open the gates of the Underworld in the Persian Gulf. If the Mother Goddess Tiamat logs in from there, then bind that so-called Goddess Tiamat to the earth!"

"You mean you want me to move the entire underworld beneath the Persian Gulf? That's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Ereshkigal waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"At any time? Are you, King, really that ignorant? Opening such a massive gate to the underworld would take years at the time. This isn't because I'm unhappy and want to argue with you, but because this is absolutely impossible!"

"I see, tsk..."

Gilgamesh clicked his tongue, his expression unpleasant. It wasn't that he was targeting Ereshkigal; he was simply pondering whether to change the next step of the plan. At that moment, Ereshkigal suddenly became embarrassed, coughed, looked at Gilgamesh, and whispered:

"Well, if you insist on opening a really big gate to the underworld, how about we open it somewhere else?"

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

Gilgamesh and Genji looked at Ereshkigal in surprise. The goddess of the underworld, rubbing the hem of her robe, replied:

"Actually, due to my past hatred for Uruk, I have been secretly operating under Uruk all these years. If the Gates of the Underworld were opened to the entire Uruk region, I could probably complete all of this in just three days."

"You bastard..."

"So you dug that hole I fell into last time...?"

Hearing this, Gilgamesh's brows twitched with anger, while Genji muttered in sudden realization. Finally, Gilgamesh let out a long breath and forced a smile, saying:

"Well done, Ereshkigal. Hurry up and finish the preparations, but after this, I have something I need to discuss with you!"

"hey-hey....."

Ereshkigal blinked, bewildered by Gilgamesh's unspoken message, and managed to brush it off with a cute gesture. The king of Uruk silently glanced at Genji, while the boy helplessly shrugged. He couldn't very well go down with Ereshkigal to supervise her work.

"However, there is a problem."

At that moment, Ereshkigal suddenly remembered something and looked at Gilgamesh, saying:

"Even if I open the gates of the underworld, how will you make the mother goddess Tiamat fall into the underworld? The distance between the earth and the underworld is not so easy to break through, especially since your target is the mother goddess."

No wonder Ereshkigal was so worried. After all, Gilgamesh himself had just said that the mother goddess Tiamat could use the black sea of ​​life to replace her spirit origin, growing from her normal spirit origin state (Daughter of Destiny) into a dragon body over sixty meters long. Furthermore, Tiamat in her dragon form could nullify attacks of class A++ or lower. With such a massive body, it would require an extremely powerful impact to completely submerge her in the gates of the underworld.

Gilgamesh had already considered this problem. The King of Uruk burst into laughter, his demonic laughter echoing throughout the temple. Then he pointed to Genshin Impact and said gleefully:

“Ereshkigal, you don’t know yet, do you? Gensou has already recruited that stupid woman Ishtar as an ally. Although that girl’s head is full of jewels and nothing else, I still approve of her as a henchman! After all, that girl has the Bull of Heaven (gugalannastrike) in her hands.”

The Heavenly Bull (gugalannastrike) is the largest and strongest divine beast temporarily summoned by the goddess Ishtar in the past to destroy Uruk. The Heavenly Bull appears from the sky, crushing the earth with its enormous hooves, causing destruction on par with a falling meteorite, as if a dazzling sky has fallen, or as if a star radiating beautiful light has buried the sky. Its golden hooves grind everything that exists between the earth and the sky to dust.

While inflicting massive damage indiscriminately and temporarily reducing all abilities, Ishtar herself remains immune to all damage and effects.

It must be said that this Bull of Heaven (gugalannastrike) was quite troublesome when it was an enemy. Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu fought tooth and nail to defeat this menace. But now that it has appeared as an ally, Gilgamesh can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Um, none of you know?"

However, at this moment, Ereshkigal stared blankly at Gilgamesh and said:

"It seems like the Bull of Heaven isn't with my silly sister anymore. I don't think I sensed any related aura when I borrowed her body last time."

"Varied......!!!"

Upon hearing this, Gilgamesh's expression froze instantly, and he almost choked on his breath. Genji quickly supported him, patted his chest to catch his breath, and the King of Uruk rubbed his forehead, looking at Ereshkigal as if he was about to ask something. But then, after a moment's thought, he waved his hand and hurried off to attend to matters concerning the Gates of Tartaros. He then beckoned to Genji to come with him.

After entering the small compartment behind the temple, Gilgamesh opened the 'treasure vault'. A mirror framed like a tree root slowly rose up, and then the king gently touched it. Ripples of power gradually spread out, and then Merlin's image appeared in the mirror.

"Your Majesty, what is this...?"

Merlin noticed that Gilgamesh was in a rather bad mood and asked him in confusion. Gilgamesh replied coldly:

"Merlin, are all the Servants with you?"

"Yes, even the Riders have already assembled at the Warcraft Defense Line."

“Very good, we have new progress on our side regarding Ereshkigal’s Gate to the Underworld…”

Gilgamesh quietly recounted what had just happened, then called out Ishtar's name directly:

"Ishtar, come here. Your Heavenly Bull will be of great use. Get ready now, do you hear me?"

"......"

As Gilgamesh spoke, the image in the mirror switched to Ishtar, whose expression was quite strange, as if she couldn't defecate. Seeing this, Gilgamesh rubbed his forehead in exasperation and let out a long sigh.

It seems so. If the Bull of Heaven were still around, that stupid woman Ishtar would have been laughing loudly and showing off this power that didn't belong to her at all.

"You stupid goddess, do you think the reason I haven't said anything about your joining us until now is because of the Bull of Heaven, the Bull of Heaven!"

Sighing as he was, Gilgamesh couldn't hold back his anger any longer and cursed, pointing at Ishtar's reflection in the mirror and shouting:

"You even managed to lose the Bull of Heaven, what good are you as a goddess! And you still haven't said a word, not even about Genji. Do you, you stupid woman, even know what an ally is? Are you going to wait until Genji is deeply entangled with the enemy and needs you to use the Bull of Heaven to save the day, and then you'll say, 'Sorry, I lost the Bull of Heaven,' to be buried with Genji?!"

I feel like I've become a target for the bombardment of Ishtar...

Genji glanced at Gilgamesh silently. He now understood that the king had brought him over so that he would have something to shut Ishtar up when she reprimanded him. He was undoubtedly the best excuse at the moment. However, Genji didn't really care about this. Ishtar should at least have told him about this. Was she not confident in his speed and efficiency in finding things?

"I really don't know!!"

Ishtar, clutching her hair, shouted in disbelief:

"I've turned the whole of Mesopotamia upside down, but I just can't find it! I'm so anxious I almost fell off a building and knocked myself unconscious, but I really can't find it!"
