Holy Grail War, but the Immortal Grail

The idea was wonderful, and it was indeed feasible given her ability. However, no matter how many times she snapped her fingers during the execution, Ma Anna never opened the portal to the temple.

Strange, could it be that his authority has expired?

A sense of uneasiness spread in Ishtar's heart. She suddenly realized that the city had been shrouded in black fog, and her vision was seriously disturbed.

It was not so much that thick fog emerged, but that all the surrounding light was sucked away, and darkness surrounded Ishtar, taking away all the light from her vision.

After sunset, Kusa is the paradise of the goddess of the underworld.

As a city under its own jurisdiction, Airei can connect the environment of Kusa to the underworld after sunset.

Although the reversal of heaven and earth is still somewhat different from the real underworld, it cannot create something like a seven-fold door to strip Ishtar of her clothes and all her authority.

But if you just act in accordance with Li Huang's request, it will be more than enough to temporarily trap Ishtar.

"Who?" Sensing an aggressive gaze staring directly at him in the dark, Ishtar angrily manipulated Ma Anna to shoot arrows at him.

Countless arrows flew past, but after the smoke dissipated, there was only nothingness.

This cold aura and the ethereal power connected various clues together, and Ishtar came to a conclusion that she was unwilling to accept.

First there was doubt, then a little wavering, and finally it turned into bitter anxiety, and the goddess gritted her teeth with an expression of reluctance on her face.

She knew very well that although she was an omnipotent goddess, she could not be convinced in this aspect.

She has a very bad affinity with things related to the underworld.

"It seems like you've run into a little trouble. You have the hardest time dealing with things in the underworld, right?"

Li Huang, who was tied up, laughed out loud and deliberately provoked Ishtar.

"It's just a little breath from the underworld. Watch me knock them all away."

Ishtar retorted unyieldingly, a golden light igniting in her red eyes.

Inject divine energy into your whole body, release the power of the goddess of beauty with all your strength, and disperse the darkness around you.

As the goddess of beauty, the charm released by Ishtar is the highest level of control. As long as she is aware of it, she can enchant it.

She can distort rocks, earth, weapons, air, and even the physical laws that are the most basic operating laws of the world according to her own opinions.

This powerful power is the source of Ishtar's confidence. Even if she is not as good as that cold goddess in the underworld, she does not believe that she will still be suppressed in the human world.

"Although he doesn't have Rin as a fusion material, he is as simple as Rin when it comes to anger."

Seeing that Ishtar was taking the initiative to get angry with Ai Lei under his guidance, Li Huang secretly evaluated in his heart.

Under the guidance of his simple words, Ishtar gave up the safest plan of waiting for dawn, and instead took the initiative to attack Ai Lei.

Just like a child venting his anger, Ishtar kept unleashing his divine energy to fight against Elle's spreading realm of death, trying to prove that he was better than it.

But the cruel reality is that no matter how Ishtar releases her divine energy, the area she can control only lasts a few steps in front of her.

The emotion called fear spread quietly in Ishtardu's heart, the familiar atmosphere of Hades, and the unforgettable pain of dismemberment.

"You! Take me out quickly."

Ishtar was a little anxious. She wanted the lancer to take her away, but when she turned around, she found that she had disappeared.

Now in this environment, the only person she can rely on is...

Ishtar's red pupils stared coldly at Li Huang below him. He seemed to have expected this to happen, and his face was so calm from beginning to end.

Realizing that Ishtar glanced at him, Li Huang winked at her and hinted.

"Want me to help? You would definitely die here without me."

Chapter 26: What are you so smart about?

In fact, Li Huang has always been bluffing.

Airei's authority is very strong, but this power is limited to the underworld. Kuza, who was transformed into the sub-underworld, is not the real underworld after all. All Airei can do is limit Ishtar's authority, not like in the underworld. Total deprivation like the underworld.

Kusa at night can indeed trap Ishtar easily, but the most he can do is "trap Ishtar".

If you want further effects, or capture Ishtar here, it would be a bit unrealistic.

Just because of the misjudgment of Airei's strength, Ishtar did not notice this factor.

"What do you mean?" Seeing Li Huang denying him one after another, Ishtar looked unhappy.

"The legend that Ishtar went to the underworld but was deprived of all her power is quite famous."

"That was an accident!"

Feeling embarrassed and angry at being poked at a sore point, she bit her lip tightly and refused to admit her defeat, and threatened Li Huang viciously:

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth off."

"How about we cooperate? You must have realized that you can't escape alone, right?"

"Hmph, if it's just this level, I only need to summon Gu Jialana to solve it."

Ishtar's face showed disdain and she spoke forcefully.

There is no problem in breaking Kusa's barrier with Gu Jialanna's strength, but the price to pay is somewhat high.

Not to mention that she needs time to summon, Gu Jialan is not a divine beast that represents harmony. He is the incarnation of the storm, and will cause various natural disasters when he appears.

If it is released, the lovely believers around it who are protected by it will be the first to suffer before it destroys the barrier here.

Ishtar did not want the child to come out unless it was absolutely necessary, but as the dark shadows that corroded the environment continued to approach, Ishtar had no choice but to follow Li Huang's wishes.

"Okay, if you sign this contract, I will believe you."

Throwing a scroll at Li Huang, Ishtar's attitude at this moment was not a request, but more like a mandatory order.

To put it simply, Ishtar wants Li Huang to sell himself to a contract. Anyone who signs it will become a licking dog at her mercy, losing their freedom and dignity.

Li Huang didn't care about the content of the contract. Anyway, he also ordered the contract's coercive force and patience. This kind of thing basically has no effect on him.

However, after looking through the dense restrictions, he still couldn't find a single benefit. Li Huang couldn't help but complain:

"Why is it so black? Even if you sell me as a black slave, you must at least give me the money to buy a black slave, right?"

"What, do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

Ishtar looked at Li Huang with a smile on his face, as if he thought he had mastered the overall situation, and his eyes were full of provocation.

For the sake of his plan, Li Huang chose to tolerate her for the time being.

"After signing, you can let me go."

Anyway, the content of the contract was just a decoration for him. Li Huang, who was too lazy to argue with Ishtar, signed the contract decisively.

Ishtar was shocked by Li Huang's decisiveness, but he accepted the contract with satisfaction, but did not directly untie Li Huang's divine energy.

Sensing that the contents of the contract were slowly taking effect, she became connected with Li Huang, and she unilaterally analyzed Li Huang's spiritual foundation.

"Li Huang? It's a name I've never heard of, but forget it."

Ishtar, whose plan succeeded, smiled triumphantly at Li Huang like a smiling tiger, and raised her fingers at him.

"Since you have agreed to be mine, is it okay to die for me?"

How could Ishtar be manipulated by other people, let alone a man who had offended her and made her embarrassed in public.

And even if Li Huang offended him, Ishtar felt that all of this was too coincidental.

He was attracted by the explosion and happened to see the entrance to Hades. Then he was waiting at the entrance and caught Li Huang. When he went back, Ai Lei happened to attack him.

She had every reason to suspect that Li Huang had already entered into some kind of cooperation with Ai Lei, and everything just now was done just for her to see.

The wisdom of Ishtar, the Mistress of Heaven, has seen through everything. This is basically a conspiracy against herself.

Although there are two other points that Ailei was actually bluffing to her, and that Li Huang teamed up with Gilgamesh to deceive Ishtar into asking for Humbaba, these two points are pretty close to each other.

"Really, why are you so smart?"

Realizing that his plan had been discovered, Li Huang sighed helplessly in his heart and slowly broke free from Ishtar's divine energy.

"Wait...you were able to break free from the beginning?" Ishtar's expression suddenly became subtle.

Looking at Ishtar who exposed his plan with a look of resentment, Li Huang suddenly jumped up and quickly flashed to Ishtar's side.

Just when Ishtar reacted and wanted to mobilize the god of war part of her, something suddenly came from her mouth and was forcefully and roughly stuffed by Li Huang.

Well, this is the bottle of elixir.

Originally, I wanted to drug Ishtar in a clever way to create some show effects, but she didn't give him a decent chance.

Since she was not decent, Li Huang had no choice but to help her look decent.

Because he was too proud of having just exposed Li Huang's plan, and because of the restrictions imposed on Li Huang by the contract, the careless Ishtar never expected that Li Huang would make a surprise attack, and poured himself a bottle of strange stuff.

"What did you drink for me?"

The angry Ishtar shook violently and broke free from Li Huang's restraints. Just as she was about to ask him what he had done to her, Ishtar suddenly realized that her voice seemed to have become childish.

Frightened, Ishtar stretched out her hand and found that her size was slowly shrinking.

"Elixir of death?" She stared at Li Huang with disbelief. She couldn't believe that this man would actually use such a thing against her.

You must know that as a goddess, the effect of any drug containing toxins on her is so weak that she can hardly remember it.

But the elixir is different. Not only does it not harm the human body, it can also prolong life, heal injuries, and rejuvenate people.

Ishtar cannot ignore this kind of elixir that is completely beneficial.

Moreover, she is still in the state of being a dependent, and her body cannot be controlled freely at all.

Ishtar's body was shrinking rapidly, and eventually her body of about twenty years old changed into that of about ten years old under the influence of the elixir.

"You... are perverted!"

Her temperament also changed as she got older, and Ishtar blushed and cursed at Li Huang.

Chapter 27: I Want It All

After Ishtar exposed his plot, Li Huang had to admit that as a normal person, there was still a slight gap between himself and these mythical figures.

So in the end, he chose to give up the useless strategy and use "a little bit" of external assistance to complete his plan.

As we all know, the highest level of assassination is to make the target and witnesses unique.
