The so-called human evil means "evil that eliminates humanity," not "evil that destroys humanity."
The relationship between "human evil" and "heroic spirit summoning" is equivalent to the self-destruction mechanism of humanity and its safety mechanism.
Therefore, everyone present in this temple at this moment, even a 'newcomer' like Gensou who had just received some basic training, understood the seriousness of the doctor's emphasis.
However, the mention of the 'beast' at this point didn't surprise anyone. Firstly, everyone was already aware of this, and secondly, a 'beast' had already appeared and been destroyed before the mother goddess Tiamat.
That's right, it's Goetia!
The beasts will manifest in a chain reaction. When one beast appears, the others will appear one after another. The world where human evil manifests will move towards the "final evil" and face further calamity. Once the one representing 'i' manifests, then the final 'vi' will also appear in some corner of the world. It's only a matter of time.
"...How ironic."
At this moment, Gilgamesh suddenly spoke, looking at the mother goddess Tiamat and saying softly:
"The so-called evil of humanity is human love itself. The desire to destroy humanity is not based on malice towards humanity, because malice is only temporary and becomes weaker with use. Therefore, what truly threatens humanity is the desire to protect human reason and the will to obtain a better future. It has bared its fangs at the current peace. Well, anyway, the original beast is already dead, which is a good start. Romani, have your test results come out yet?!"
“He’s out, Gilgamesh. Your guess was indeed correct.”
Romani's voice rang out immediately, and he looked at the document in his hand as he said:
“Indeed, the beast’s legs cannot support her enormous body, so we can conclude that the path extending from the black mud is the only way she can move. As long as we eliminate the black mud, we can temporarily hinder the beast’s movements.”
How long will it take Tiamat to move here?
Genjiro instinctively asked, and Gilgamesh replied softly:
Eight hours.
"Then the Gates of the Underworld should be able to..."
"You know it's the right thing to do."
The king, with a blank expression, pondered and said:
"Furthermore, Uruk's defenses are not yet fully complete. We cannot afford to be half-hearted in dealing with this beast!"
"no......"
At this moment, Romani's voice rang out again from the projection, the doctor saying bitterly:
"Eight hours is simply not enough time for Chaldea to produce a reagent that can reverse the decomposition of black mud into seawater."
"Since that's the case..."
Gilgamesh looked at the captain of the soldiers standing to the side and said:
"Take fifty of your most elite warriors and forcibly break Tiamat's legs."
"No, let me do this job."
At this moment, Quetzalcoatl stepped forward with a smile, patted his chest, and said:
"Even if elite soldiers wanted to break through the monster horde to destroy Tiamat's legs, it would be far too difficult, and they might not even succeed. In that case, let me do it. Didn't we bring the Sun Stone here? Let the intense heat from South America burn away the black mud of Mesopotamia."
"But have you ever thought about this?"
Ishtar looked at Quetzalcoatl and said:
"If you want to use your Noble Phantasm to eliminate the black mud around the Mother Goddess, then it means that Fujimaru Ritsuka will have to go with you. She will have to withstand the impact of the monster tide and the threat from the Mother Goddess herself."
"Indeed, this is too dangerous for Ritsuka."
Gensho chimed in:
“Since someone needs to clean up the black mud, then let me go. Even without ‘heat,’ my power is enough to cut off the path of Mother Goddess Tiamat and buy some time.”
“Yuanxiang... Well, then this task will be entrusted to you.”
Gilgamesh thought for a moment, then nodded and said:
"I will prepare a treasure for you that can quickly restore your magic power, so go all out and do your best."
"I won't....."
'coax!!!'
Just as Gensou responded, a tremendous roar resounded, causing everyone to freeze in shock before tensing up. Gilgamesh, however, calmly waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry, it's just the giant crossbows placed on the city wall firing. It seems the vanguard of the monster tide has arrived. It's alright, don't worry. With the eleven monsters unable to gather in large groups, these ordinary monsters can't get close to the walls of Uruk at all!"
"Your confidence makes me a little nervous."
Ishtar subconsciously retorted:
"Where did you get this giant crossbow? I've never heard of having one of these around here before."
"Of course you haven't heard of it, because I made it myself, you fool!"
Gilgamesh retorted to Ishtar:
"I personally designed and built the city's defenses. What's so great about a mere giant crossbow? Do you think everyone is like you?! Enough, let's end this topic. Yuanxiang, you should set off now and not waste any time."
"Wait, I'll go with you."
At this moment, Ishtar caught up with Gensou, looked at him, and snorted softly, saying:
"I heard from Li Shuwen that after you sparred with him all day, you were sent to my stupid sister to open the gates of the underworld. Honestly, even if the capable are given more work, that 'hahahahaha' is just too much of a boss. So I'll go with you. If you can't hold on, this goddess can bring you back so you don't fall into the Mother Goddess's black mud and cause us trouble."
"Thanks, Ishtar."
"Call me Inanna... never mind, just call me Ishtar. There's nothing to thank me for, after all, we're allies."
The goddess's name in Sumer is Inanna, which is older in terms of name, a fact that Genji knows. However, for some reason, the goddess suddenly became a little upset about how he addressed her. Fortunately, she took her words back, since Genji was already used to calling her 'Ishtar,' and if he called her by the wrong name again, the goddess might get angry.
Just then, as they flew over the walls of Uruk, Gensou suddenly noticed something, nudged Ishtar, and whispered:
"I have to say, I don't quite understand the ammunition used in these giant crossbows..."
"Don't even mention you, I'm a little confused myself..."
Ishtar answered blankly, because both of them clearly saw that the items placed next to the giant crossbows as ammunition, judging from their luster and the aura they exuded, were top-tier treasures, even Noble Phantasms. No wonder Gilgamesh was so confident that with the giant crossbows present, ordinary magical beasts couldn't approach Uruk. These things...
Gengo watched as the soldiers unleashed their powerful magical artifacts, using the magic within as explosives to inflict heavy damage on the monster horde. He really wanted to record the scene and have Fujimaru Ritsuka show it to the Servant Emiya, because it was exactly the same as his [Fantasy Collapse].
"Hahahahahaha!!!!"
? !
At that moment, Ishtar's sudden burst of laughter startled Genji. To be honest, Genji was genuinely worried that the goddess might have gone insane from seeing so many treasures destroyed, and thought he should grab a couple of bags of gems to appease her.
But Ishtar seemed to have anticipated Genji's thoughts. She grabbed Genji's wrist, telling him not to waste his magic power unnecessarily, and then wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, saying:
"Yuanxiang, you don't know, Ishtar loves treasures and gems, which is why that Gilgamesh used me as a sore spot. But you know, that bastard's obsession with collecting treasures is no less than mine. That bastard has now sent everything from his treasury to the city walls to be fired like cannonballs. Just watching the sparks from the explosions reminds me of the heart-wrenching pain Gilgamesh felt when he made that decision. Oh dear, although it's true that he's quite clever to make such a decision, that doesn't stop me from laughing at him!!"
Be careful.
Gensou, watching Ishtar laugh heartily, grabbed her wrist, dodging the ranged attacks from the magical beasts. At the same time, he observed the types of the beasts and said softly:
"That's not right."
"What's wrong?"
Ishtar stopped laughing and asked curiously. Genji pointed below and whispered:
"The 'Eleven Demonic Beasts' are gone, not a single one. We clearly didn't kill off all the juveniles during the evacuation."
"They're probably by the Mother Goddess's side. After all, they're her closest children. Don't be so nervous. Come on, let's chat and pass the time. Anyway, these things aren't a threat to us right now."
Yuanxiang glanced at the goddess who had inexplicably become so talkative, thought for a moment, coughed, and said softly:
"I don't mean any offense. I'm just curious why you went to venture into the Underworld in the first place. Was it really like in the myths...?"
"of course not."
Ishtar replied nonchalantly:
"You don't know my sister. She's passive and introverted, but because she possesses extremely high intelligence and self-respect, she dedicates herself wholeheartedly to her duty as the mistress of the underworld. This has led to her being a goddess of death and decay, whose actions are restricted. She's become someone who envyes beauty and mocks ugliness, killing others to prevent what she desires from falling into their hands..."
At this point, Ishtar glanced furtively at Gensou, and seeing that he didn't react, paused before continuing:
“Ereshkigal was originally such a being, but she began to objectively recognize that this desire was ‘bad’ and ‘shameful,’ and the violent nature of it disappeared into the depths. I was very dissatisfied with this. After all, you see, why should one endure it? Dissatisfaction should be vented, and if one wants to cry, one should cry out loud. As her older sister, she cannot live such a repressed life. Therefore, I was going to the underworld to tell her this principle, and as a result…”
Ishtar shrugged and said:
“I forgot one thing. Because my sister and I were inseparable, we never got along well before. Plus, I was really unreasonable back then, so I was killed.”
"Well, after the restoration of humanity, all the other Heroic Spirits returned to the Throne of Heroes."
Realizing the topic was inappropriate, Gengo quickly changed the subject after satisfying his curiosity.
"But in your case..."
"Hmph, that's right. Because I am a goddess summoned by the people of this era, I don't need to be repaired by the singularity. I can continue to stay here and watch over the future of Babylonia."
Ishtar answered proudly, puffing out her chest. Then, she glanced furtively at Gensou, hesitated for a moment, and whispered:
"So if you're free, you can stay here or come back to me. At that time, I'll be the one with the final say here."
331 The Troublesome Mother Goddess
"Let's see how things go. I've been gone for so long, my sister must be worried. I need to go back and let her know I'm safe first."
Faced with Ishtar's invitation, Genji replied without hesitation:
"If I don't have anything to take care of, I'll try to come back and visit you. But since you're a Servant now, why don't you try responding to Ritsuka's Servant summons?"
As Yuanxiang spoke, he pointed to the sky and said softly:
"I was brought here, and it's uncertain whether I can come back after the singularity here ends. So it's better to meet again in Chaldea. After all, I'm more likely to be able to come and go as I please there."
"Oh, is that so? You're such a nuisance. Fine, I'll just enjoy myself here by myself. We can think about where to meet when I've had my fill of fun. Besides, it's a bit too early to start discussing this now."
"really......"
As they drew closer to the location of the Mother Goddess Tiamat, the scenery in Genshin Impact and Ishtar's eyes began to change. Traces of human civilization had once existed, now submerged by the surging tide of monsters. The green grass and tall trees on the ground had lost their vitality, and the black mud-like Sea of Life had appeared at the edge of their vision. The incomparably tall Mother Goddess Tiamat, surrounded by her 'children,' continued to approach Uruk.
Something's not right.
Gensho frowned and whispered:
"The 'Eleven Beasts' are no longer by the Mother Goddess's side. This shouldn't be the case."
"Let's not worry about that for now."
Although she was a Mesopotamian deity, this was the first time Ishtar had seen the mother goddess in her entirety and with such terrifying power. It was as if even the sky was completely obscured by this figure, casting an ominous shadow upon the earth. Ishtar couldn't help but grasp Genji's wrist, her voice trembling slightly as she said:
