Tiamat didn't answer Jingu directly; she simply patted his head gently and then gave him her usual innocent smile.
Seeing that smile, Tiamat didn't say anything, but Kingu already guessed a lot. At that moment, she lowered her head and agreed to her mother's request; she would become a helper to humanity.
"Well……"
Recalling the important matter, Jingu nodded slightly, then glanced at Luo Wei, silently swallowed the words he had just spoken, and got up to rescue Siduri and the other humans.
Whether it was due to physical memory or a promise to her mother, she could no longer stay here. So, her figure instantly left the spot, transforming into a golden ray of light and flying into the distance.
Seeing her leave, Luo Wei nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with the changes in Jingu. On the other side, Gilgamesh, who had originally planned to use Tiamat to threaten Jingu into rescuing people, snorted inwardly when he saw her leave so decisively. After all, her frankness made him seem a bit petty. However, no matter the method, as long as he could get things done, that was enough.
All he could do now was pray that Siduri could escape her fate and be safe and sound.
And indeed, that is the case.
In a chance encounter on the street, in a small expression of gratitude, the seed of kindness sown has now borne fruit called reward.
-
In the forest.
"You are... Lord Enkidu, aren't you? Although you were wearing a mask before, I knew it must be you... Although you have changed a little, many things about you remain the same."
Rahmu in the forest was swept away by Jingu. Siduri, who was lying on the ground, raised her head and looked at the familiar green figure. Seeing the golden chains as always, she seemed to forget her pain and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
For her, being able to see Enkidu again at the end of her life was the greatest fortune.
At this moment, Kingu was no longer the pure Kingu. After merging with Enkidu's body and then with her memories, Kingu had already become a fusion of Enkidu and her original self while living in Uruk. She could be said to be both Kingu and Enkidu, so Siduri's description was indeed correct.
"Tsk, this little injury is enough to leave you on the verge of death. Fragile humans are such a nuisance."
She looked at the heavily injured Siduri, flew down from the sky, landed beside her, and then reached out and tore off a piece of her white robe to use as a bandage to stop the bleeding from her wound.
"I am truly sorry that you witnessed such an embarrassing moment of mine."
Siduri looked at the fragments stained with her own blood, a hint of apology on her face. Her vision was already becoming blurry due to exhaustion and blood loss.
"While I don't expect someone as fragile as you to be able to heal yourself quickly, you're a high priest, so you must know healing magic, right? Or have you been so frightened that you've forgotten the incantation?"
Noticing that Siduri's magic was depleted, Kingu placed his palm on her wound and infused it with magic to help her. Siduri, in turn, took the timely replenishment of magic seriously and used healing magic to repair her injury.
Seeing that she was out of danger, Jingu nodded, then took her arm and said.
"I'll help you up."
"It's okay, I can manage myself—um!"
Without giving her a chance to refute, Jingu picked up Siduri and quickly ascended into the air, taking in the scene below. At this moment, the city was filled with killings, and this meaningless but morbidly enjoyable torture game continued.
"..."
Jingu stared expressionlessly at the unruly Rahmu.
"Although I don't want to deny my mother's creation, these monsters, which are not even as good as magical beasts and are just aggregates of malice, are definitely not the new humans that my mother expected. They were not allowed by songs, nor were they born from crying; they are merely a flow of malice."
"Mother...you mean Tiamat?"
“Watch your word ‘human.’ You should call Mother Goddess. Also, don’t misunderstand, I’m not here to save you. I was entrusted by Mother to look after humanity. So I just happened to be passing by and saw you. Similarly, I also want to see what kind of beings these Rahmu are and whether they have the value that Mother expects.”
Jingu's words were half true and half false. She did indeed act because of Tiamat's request and her curiosity about Rahmu, but Enkidu's voice and Lovi's request also kept her worried about Siduri's situation, which enabled her to arrive in such a short time and successfully rescue Siduri. However, due to her personality, she did not speak frankly about it.
"I understand. The fact that you came to save me is already a miracle for me."
Although she said that, Siduri's gaze did not leave the soldiers below, as many more were being harmed by Rahmu.
"Alright, now what do you want to choose? Should I go rescue them, or send you back to Uruk first? Never mind, let's take you back first, after all, they only asked you for... um?"
"No, I can't leave."
Jingu was about to leave with Siduri, but Siduri immediately refused her.
"Huh? You want to go and die? You can barely walk in your current state, what can you possibly do?"
Jin Gu asked in return.
"No, but... please let me down. I will find my own way back to Uruk. Now I hope you can save them, even if it's just one person."
"Sacrifice yourself to save others? What a foolish answer. You look like a fragile fledgling."
Jin Gu spoke with dissatisfaction, but as she said this, her body began to slowly descend.
Meanwhile, Rahmu, who were still enjoying the brutal killing on the ground, let out strange cries once again when they sensed Jingu's approach.
Chapter 287 The Advance of Jingu
A green figure descended from the sky above the forest, accompanied by the rattling sound of chains. Powerful magic enveloped the entire forest city, and soon, the chaotic and bloody city seemed to have been silenced.
"@@&@@¥¥!!"
In the ruins of the city, dozens of Rahmu surrounded a group of plundered Uruk soldiers in the center of the square, treating them as live targets and attacking them with their spikes. They listened with satisfaction to their screams and uttered mocking noises from their twisted mouthparts.
Just as they were about to continue their frolicking and tear these people to pieces, the golden chains in the sky broke their farce.
Splash!
Golden chains rained down like a storm, and the powerful magic forced Rahmu to look up at the beings in the sky.
At that moment, Jingu also descended from the sky with Siduri in his arms, walking towards these twisted Rahmu.
He paid no heed to the anger in Siduri's eyes, nor did he care about the shouts of the soldiers in the square when they saw Siduri and himself.
"High Priestess Siduri!"
as well as--
He was addressed as "Lord Enkidu!"
She raised her fingers, wrapped the chains around her palm, and angrily questioned, "What are you doing?! Did Mother create you just to have you repeat this meaningless and disgusting slaughter? Do you understand Mother's true intentions?!"
Looking at these things, which were all made by Tiamat and were logically related to her, she felt they could all be considered her brothers and sisters. Although Jingu herself had a deep aversion to these Rahmu, she still wanted to try to resolve the Rahmu problem peacefully through the bond of her mother.
only--
“¥¥#@%@@##@%@@!!”
Instead of reflecting on their anger at her questioning, the Rahmu who appeared in the square burst into extremely harsh laughter, looking at Jingu with mockery in their cacophony.
"Is this really an incomprehensible situation?"
Jingu frowned slightly, feeling angry and disappointed with these guys.
"careful!"
The next moment, Siduri suddenly reminded Jingu, who had already noticed the little tricks the Rahmu were up to.
A Rahmu, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, crawled into a blind spot behind Jingu, preparing to launch a sneak attack. However, Jingu, intimately connected to the earth, had already detected its movements. Having witnessed the creatures' actions and their malice towards him, Jingu could no longer afford to be complacent. So, as the Rahmu leaped high into the air, dozens of golden weapons made of mud rose from the ground, impaling it in mid-air from all directions, instantly killing it.
“%@%###¥&¥!!”
In response, the Rahmu in front roared angrily, as if questioning why Jingu wouldn't obediently die.
"So you really don't treat me like a mother's child at all... But that's fine, at least I won't develop feelings for you."
Jingu's eyes were somewhat gloomy, and the aura around her could even be described as terrifying. She slammed her hand on the ground and then clenched it tightly. In an instant, dozens of golden chains of heaven began to fly rapidly in different directions from her center. In the blink of an eye, they pierced through all those disgusting Rahmu.
"Now I can be sure of one thing: you are nothing but products of the evil side of Mother, and you are absolutely not the same kind as me. I am Mother's child, and you are just the evil thoughts that Mother denies!"
Bending down, Jingu raised her hand and killed Rahmu, a tenacious survivor who still refused to die. Then she glanced at Siduri, who had reunited with the Uruk soldiers in the square. At that moment, she was disregarding the depletion of her magic power and working tirelessly to heal the wounded.
Seeing that Siduri, who was still seriously injured, was acting recklessly again, Kingu couldn't help but shake his head.
"What a stupid woman."
The soldiers in Uruk were overjoyed at being rescued, especially when they saw that Siduri was unharmed. For them, the best outcome was that Siduri was alright.
However, some people in the crowd who had just recognized Kingo as Enkidu also gathered around at this moment.
"Lord Enkidu, you've been resurrected too!"
The green-clad figure in white robes, coupled with golden chains and overwhelming power, was all too familiar to the people of Uruk, which is why they were so excited.
"I--"
"Everyone, please be quiet. The person who saved you is not Lord Enkidu. She just looks like Lord Enkidu."
Before Jingu could explain, Siduli stopped people from rushing over to clean up Jingu's rude behavior.
Although the soldiers of Uruk did not understand why Siduri did not acknowledge Lord Enkidu, they were more concerned about Siduri's situation when they saw that she was alright.
"High Priest, it's so good that you're alright, but your injuries—!"
"I'm fine, I've already taken care of it. Right now, everyone else needs treatment more."
Siduli smiled slightly, indicating that she was fine, and then continued to treat the wounded.
"So... you are Lord Jingu, right? I should address you that way, shouldn't I?"
"..." Jin Gu frowned slightly at being addressed like that by a human. She asked with some surprise, "Did that scum tell you that?"
"No, it was Tiamat who told me."
Sidury shook her head and said, "I spoke with your mother. She said you are a very outstanding child and hoped that I would be your friend and that I could help take care of you. But now it seems that we are the ones being taken care of."
"Mother?"
Upon hearing Siduri mention her mother, Jingu's expression softened visibly, and even his aversion to these humans seemed to lessen considerably.
She looked up at the sky, preparing to leave with these troublesome humans, when the next moment, Siduri's warm hand grasped hers.
"Huh? Human, what are you going to do?"
The familiar touch brought back Enkidu's memories. Jingu took a few steps back and then looked at Siduri in front of him and questioned her. Sure enough, no matter how many times she tried, she could not get used to this feeling.
"Please don't mind, I'm just thanking you on behalf of everyone, it's just proper etiquette."
Siduri smiled and said that although the Uruk soldiers behind her did not understand how Enkidu could be resurrected, and the High Priestess Siduri seemed somewhat distant from her, they had just been saved by her, so they all nodded and expressed their gratitude.
"You're thanking me too soon; things are far from over."
Jingu shifted his gaze from them and looked in the direction from which the magical aura had appeared.
"Don't forget where you are. Those few were just scattered pieces. You're still a long way from climbing out of hell."
Her voice had barely faded when a series of soft, pattering sounds immediately came from the surrounding ruins, as if clods of earth were being moved.
“¥%@&@#¥——¥&#¥%@!!”
One after another, piercing noises rang out from the ruins. Hundreds of dark figures seemed to have sensed something and began to emerge from all directions of the ruins, surrounding them.
