Players’ NPC daddy.

But the young man just took a step to the side and avoided Gungnir. It was an amazing, extremely delicate reaction ability and body control ability.

What's even more terrifying is that Gungnir's guaranteed hit ability has no effect on young people.

No, perhaps this is not a difficult problem. This young man was once targeted by Gungnir and survived. It's that simple.

But he had no impression of this young man, and he would not throw Gungnir at such a harmless-looking young man, so there was only one reasonable explanation.

This young man was targeted by Odin with Gungnir and survived.

Considering that Odin has been keeping Gungnir hidden, the answer is obvious.

"Immortal, and survived from the Age of Gods?"

"That's amazing. I didn't expect that two people would guess the answer in less than half an hour. Both of you have such beautiful silver hair. Are you related by blood?" The young man clapped his hands and applauded Blaze for his correct guess.

"It is not important to have wisdom, but it is a bold imagination that is not bound by common sense that is valuable."

"Blaze, the Giant Emperor said that the man was Nick Itarion, and he seemed to be the first president of [Hermes' Traveling Hat]." Morgan didn't have time to catch his breath, and immediately came to Blaze's side to share the information.

"The first president!?" Blaze was shocked, but that was all.

In the routine of The Stranger, it is not uncommon for the guide who tells the protagonists how to solve the crisis to become the real mastermind behind everything that is revealed in the end.

With the help of this trick, the stranger has taken down the mastermind countless times when the mastermind was pretending to be a good person.

Of course, there were also many times when things went wrong and the good guys were beaten up. But the good guys wouldn't care about this kind of thing, and instead praised the stranger for being the one they had chosen, being cautious and experienced.

It is not surprising that Nick Itarion is the mastermind behind the incident. As an ordinary person, he knows too much and even left clues on his tombstone after his death.

A more reasonable explanation than the fact that Nick Itarion came to find the answer to the problem is that Nick Itarion planned everything, but neither Cyllene nor Blaze could imagine this answer.

Blaze narrowed his eyes and identified the person in front of him.

[The One Who Witnesses Everything LV500]

For some reason, Blazer felt relieved when he saw LV500. The last thing he wanted to see now was LV1.

But then he felt a chill down his spine, because the Nick Itarion in front of him was undoubtedly a human being, even down to his hair and every drop of his blood.

But how could humans have levels, let alone the level limit of LV500.

Before Blaze could recover from the shock, Nick Itarion dropped a bigger bomb.

He looked at the God-killing weapon bracelet on Blaze's wrist and muttered to himself.

"Is the [Howl of Ares] not in your hands? It seems that you have discovered its secret and sealed it away somewhere else?"

"How do you know--" Blaze's expression changed, and he immediately reached out to cover the God-killing Weaponry. He didn't expect that Nick Itarion could see through it.

But Blaze immediately calmed down and whispered.

"I don't know who you are, but do you think I would keep a dangerous weapon that could shatter worlds and summon the saltwater Tiamat?"

"I destroyed it long ago, using my Broken Steel Sword to chop it into pieces that could no longer be put together."

"Well, you are really decisive and cautious..." Nick Itarion turned his head and after a moment of silence, he chuckled, as if he was looking at a child who was lying.

"You lied, you didn't destroy."

"Even if you destroy it, it will be useless. Because you can only destroy the [Ares Howl] itself, and its serrations cannot be destroyed."

"But if you really destroy the Howl of Ares, I will be sad. After all, it is something I designed with great effort."

Blaze didn't refute, but felt a little more depressed, and Nick Itarion was shrouded in suspicion.

"who are you?"

"As you can see." Nick Itarion opened his arms, showing his thin body. "I am, no, I should say the first human in the world who was endowed with immortality by the gods. The gods gave me the name you see, Utanapisheti."

"The one who witnessed everything."

"What have you done to deserve such a horrible curse from the gods?"

This time it was Nick Itarion's turn to be stunned, but then he reacted and looked at Blaze with some unknown emotions in his eyes.

"I see, no wonder... Hahaha, it's you. If it's you..."

He laughed, and there was a hint of relief in his laughter, a sense of relief from a heavy burden, and then his aura changed from bad to good, with resentment and madness like a raging storm.

The young man who was so calm, elegant and easy-going just now has grown up rapidly. No, it should be said that he has declined and turned into an old man.

"What did I do? Of course I saved humanity!"

Every wrinkle on his face roared with resentment in his words, venting the eternal loneliness that only an immortal being could feel.

"I come from the most ancient mythological totem. I am a natural slave created by the gods so that I don't have to work anymore. I have been learning how to serve the gods since I was born!"

"The King of the Gods was angry at the joy of us slaves, so he destroyed us four times!"

"And I am the one chosen by the wise gods to save mankind during the fourth destruction, and the gift I received is this immortal body!"

When talking about the gift, Blaze heard endless ridicule. He realized that this immortality was not what Nick Itarion wanted subjectively, but was given by the gods on purpose.

Even from the beginning, the gods punished and tortured Nick Itarion in the name of grace.

The oldest mythological totem is the one with Ishtar. The king of gods who wants to destroy humans just because of their noise is the name of this mythological totem and the reason for its destruction.

Enlil, the king of the gods.

Chapter 1706 The only victim of the power struggle

It was an incredible tragedy, an incredible atrocity, and any human being would feel boundless anger upon learning about it.

The gods needed slaves, so they created humans, a race that was born to be slaves.

That is a race that will not die unless murdered or infected by disease, so their population is growing.

The gods didn't care about this at all, and there was nothing wrong with the increase of loyal slaves. There were so many slaves who bathed and dressed them, dug food for them, offered sacrifices, and praised them.

Especially the sixth and seventh generation gods who were originally slaves. They did not oppress humans just because they were once slaves. It was precisely because they were once slaves that they did not want to go back to the past.

But there was only one god who was dissatisfied with this, and that was Enlil, the king of gods who separated heaven and earth.

The reason for his dissatisfaction is very simple, that is, human beings disturb him, so he wants to destroy human beings.

Enki, the water god who was responsible for creating mankind, did not want his creation to perish in this way, so he repeatedly reminded mankind of what kind of disaster would occur, and mankind thus escaped three times.

Enlil, the king of gods, was furious when his oracle of destruction was repeatedly deciphered. He used the legendary Tablet of Destiny to demand that all the gods swear to him that they would destroy mankind.

Even so, the water god Enki secretly appeared in a dream to a devout believer, a pure young boy, and told him that the fourth destruction would be a devastating flood.

The young man did as he was told and built a huge ship, loading it with birds and beasts. Human beings finally survived the fourth natural disaster.

But the king of gods was still furious. He didn't care even though the gods were starving because no humans were cultivating the land. He just wanted to destroy humans. At this time, the great god of wisdom, the god of water Enki stepped forward and used the water of life to fight against the king of gods Enlil, and finally won the right to survive for mankind.

This is a mythological story passed down by mankind, in which Enki, the water god who stood up for mankind and confronted Enlil, the king of gods, is the true savior of mankind...

But that’s all bullshit.

From the beginning, it was just one of the most ancient political struggles, and humans themselves were just the battlefield.

Enlil, the king of gods, is the god who created the world and is truly the king of gods. His power extends from the sky to the earth and even to the underworld, Kur, but there are only two places he cannot reach.

One is the sea and water which is far wider than the land, and the other is the hearts of living beings.

When Enlil, the king of gods, separated heaven and earth and blew across the earth, the water god Enki was born. No matter how hard Enlil blew, he could not dry up the water that overflowed from the earth. From that moment on, the open and secret struggles between Enlil, the king of gods, and Enki, the water god, began.

What intensified the struggle was the birth of mankind. For Enlil, the king of the gods, he did not need food or offerings. He was born at the pinnacle of power, and all the gods were his subordinates. He enjoyed the tranquility of the pinnacle of power.

It was not until the sixth and seventh generations of gods asked him to create a new slave race in order to avoid being slaves that the water god Enki willingly became the creator of mankind.

From that day on, humans created by the water god Enqi sang praises to the water god, and the gods who enjoyed humans' offerings praised humans' hard work and thanked the water god Enqi for creating humans. The tranquility at the pinnacle of power was thus disturbed.

So the King of Gods wants to destroy the human beings created by the water god Enki. As for what the water god Enki wants to do, is he a kind and honest god on the surface?

Impossible. Wisdom may appear in kind people, but it will never be linked to honesty.

The four times that Enlil, the king of gods, destroyed mankind were merely Enki, the god of water, checking the results.

When the gods felt the inconvenience and hunger after losing humans, and when the last humans appeared and the king of gods Enlil still wanted to destroy humans, the water god Enki stood up and became the only one who resisted Enlil, the king of gods.

He knew very well that the gods were reluctant to give up on humans, but were afraid of the power of Enlil, the king of gods, so he took out the water of life to fight against the tablet of destiny of the king of gods and successfully won over all the gods.

It’s just that the power of Enlil, the king of gods, was too great. Even if he won over all the gods, he only got the right to have an equal dialogue.

However, the water god Enki had achieved his goal. He was unwilling to engage in a head-on war with Enlil, the king of gods, so he gave the option of "each taking a step back."

When that choice appeared, the water god Enkidu won no matter what. Enlil, the king of gods, disagreed, which would mean making an enemy of the gods. Enlil, the king of gods, agreed, and the concession of the king of gods was an incomparable success.

In the end, the King of Gods chose to take a step back and stopped destroying humanity. However, the water god Enki's concession was a complete curse on humanity.

He first deprived the last human of his ability to reproduce, and then used the scraps of the mud of life to create new humans.

The new humans are burdened with the shortcomings and curses bestowed by the gods from the moment they are born.

They are more prone to joy, anger, sorrow and worry, and their life span is limited to only a hundred years. Their bodies are easily deformed due to illness and overwork, and giving birth to children is more painful and may even result in death during childbirth. Children born are also more likely to suffer from mental or physical illnesses.

And what did the young man who, under the guidance of the water god Enki, accomplished the great feat of saving mankind get?

Immortal life.

That is something that is said to be a reward but is actually a curse. The young man with immortal life can neither ascend to the sky palace where God resides, nor is he rejected by the new humans because of his eternal immortal life.

When the last old human he saved, his wife, died, this gift called immortality finally began to tear at the boy's heart with the sharp blade of loneliness.

Why do you treat the young man like this? Because someone will always have to bear the wrath of the King of Gods, and someone will always have to pay the price for resisting the oracle of the King of Gods.

Is it Enki, the water god, who is responsible?

No, it was not him. He had sworn to the Stone of Destiny that he would not protect mankind during the fourth destruction. It was the young man, as a wise man, who discovered from some signs that the fourth destruction would be a flood, and built a big ship to guard against the destruction of Enlil, the king of gods.

The water god Enki is just a kind and well-meaning god who couldn't bear to see humans destroyed after seeing how hard humans had managed to survive.

So it was the young man who made Enlil, the king of gods, unhappy, and that young man had to pay the price for rebelling against the king of gods.

So does the water god Enki love humans?

The answer has already been revealed: human beings are merely creations used by the water god Enki to satisfy his desire for creation.

Why is Nick Itarion so sure? Because he is the one who received this award.

Chapter 1707 The Ultimate Power of Humanity

Nick Itarion laughed softly, his words blew a chilling wind, but there was also truth in them.

Humans once had their own hierarchy and were the most complete race in the world except for the gods.

They have infinite lifespan and infinite energy, and only murder and disease can kill them. They are mentally flawless and will not lose themselves no matter how long they live.

One day, the gods will be afraid of such humans and will try every means to take this power away from them.

Blaze had heard Cyrene say that Olympus created the gods, and they also once created perfect humans in what was known as the Golden Age, which ended with them becoming patron saints.

I just didn’t expect that some mythological totems would choose to be destroyed outright.

“Can you imagine that?”

"You and your wife can no longer have children. The new humans are your spiritual sustenance and your children. However, your newborn children are suffering from terrible diseases one after another."

"You are helpless and don't know how to cure these diseases that have never appeared in you. You can only watch the children die one after another. There are more graves buried with them than fruits harvested!"

"I didn't know I was a slave until my children became sick from overwork, until my children died suddenly while polishing ornaments for those damn gods!"

"That's why I'm going to summon the salt water Tiamat, and let this god of origin swallow up all the gods together!"

Nick Itarion raised his hands, his old face full of madness.

Blaze did not doubt Nick Itarion's statement that beings with eternal life would ultimately seek death.

And the way they choose to die is to destroy the world together with it, the curse of eternal life they bear is so powerful.

Not to mention that Nick Itarion is the first human in the world to be cursed with eternal life.

"The Age of Gods is over! The gods you wanted revenge on are no longer here!" Blaze roared.

"They're still there."

"Enlil, the king of the gods, is here, as is Enki, the god of water, but they have not yet revived. When they wake up, the ridiculous competition with humans as the chessboard will continue. You can't beat them, and you can't even beat me."

Nick Itarion opened his arms to Blaze and Morgan, showing all he had.
