Moreover, he felt that this was the meaning of being a god, and that he should never act recklessly like other gods.
"It is because we are bound by this oath.
In the underworld, even the gods cannot disobey me... Yes, so, that's fine. Not making wishes for myself—this is my vow, and the source of my strength.
Uh-huh... Honestly, isn't this too harsh?"
The girl showed a distressed expression again.
Although the vow was indeed made, it is impossible not to feel worried about it.
"I've also reflected on whether I was too harsh. It would have been better if the oath had been more lenient. If I break the oath, I will lose all my power and perhaps... become a Garula spirit."
The girl muttered to herself with a worried look on her face.
For thousands of years, she has been alone in the underworld and has not had many people with whom she can communicate.
Moreover, as the mistress of the underworld.
This sorrow cannot be shared with outsiders.
"No, that's just groundless worry. After all, I, Ereshkigal, would never break my oath. I am a goddess who works hard for the underworld, for the safekeeping of souls.
Although, this is a bit strange...
In short, from now on, I will not use my power for myself!
Not to mention, granting protection to others without paying for it! I will let you taste the hatred of leaving me alone in the underworld! "
The girl was sure of her future self.
She put her hands on her hips and raised her head, very sure of herself.
Believe that there will be no future in which you will break your vow.
"Who's going to help those humans and gods on the surface?! If that happens, I might as well be blown to pieces!"
The girl's attitude was very arrogant.
However, there seemed to be a hint of resentment and bitterness in the voice, giving people a sour feeling.
Afterwards, the girl continued to work diligently day after day.
Continuously devoting oneself to the underworld.
This land carries many memories related to her, far more than just coldness and death.
You saw part of the land’s memory.
[In terms of physical sensation, it felt like a thousand years had passed, but it also felt like watching a movie in just a few seconds.]
[It's like a confusing dream]
[In this dream, you saw the girl working day after day, the most beautiful flower in the underworld]
[Your consciousness is extracted from the dragon vein]
[Of course, you also found a way to leave the underworld and know which path to take to return to the underworld]
【Just seeing this valuable information】
You also have other ideas
"Among the many willful, childlike gods, her willingness to sacrifice is exceedingly rare, and it's even rarer to find someone who can persist for tens of thousands of years...
The most important thing is that she has really persisted in the underworld for tens of thousands of years, which is undoubtedly a great achievement.
Because of her, the underworld has become orderly, clean and quiet."
Moran, as a king and a hero, has nothing but praise.
This goddess seems to be blaming the gods and humans, but in essence she is the same type as Tiamat.
She is also doing her duty.
Behind that harshness is tenderness.
As one of the Sumerian gods, her style is incompatible with that of other gods.
You know, the gods have no self-control.
And she did the opposite.
For other gods, it would be unthinkable for a god to bind herself with an oath. In the end, she took the initiative to do so.
Her seriousness and sense of responsibility.
He is second to none among all the gods.
Chapter 430: Asceticism is not worthy of praise [Please subscribe! Please give flowers! ]
"However, you are really stubborn and gloomy. As a king and a hero, I will praise you.
But as a human being, I don't intend to praise her behavior.
Because asceticism itself is not worthy of praise. There is no way to praise such a thing. That would only be cruel to her."
Moran shook his head and said lightly.
If he had heard about Ereshkigal's deeds from others, he would most likely have offered only praise.
But, he was looking at it from the perspective of an outsider.
I have read Ereshkigal's experience over millions of years.
As a deity, she is undoubtedly perfect.
From the perspective of the king and God, we can only say that this is a great achievement, but looking at her life from a human perspective.
Consider Moran as a man.
This is too sad.
It’s like seeing a sturdy and beautiful flower growing in the extremely cold permafrost, enduring the ravages of cold for tens of millions of years.
Beautiful, yet sigh-worthy.
Unlike Tiamat, who passively chose her situation, Ereshkigal actively chose this situation.
There's a chance not to do this.
However, due to his sense of responsibility, he chose to see it through to the end, and for tens of millions of years he struggled alone in this desolate underworld.
If something like this isn't asceticism, then what is it?
If you are pursuing your ideals but do not love yourself, the only thing that can be saved in the end is the ideal itself.
【As someone who has been through this, you know it best】
[Once, you tried your best to save Britain. In the end, your ideal was the only thing that was saved.]
Everything about you disappears and is lost in this process.
[Although, I have never regretted this]
But you never want others to experience this kind of life.
Although the ideal can be realized, in the end, there will be too many regrets. As a life, it is too sad.
[Now, seeing the girl in the pulse memory]
[This mistress of the underworld is even more extreme than you were before. She has no regard for herself for the sake of the underworld.]
[Achieved such a brilliant achievement]
[But there is no reward at all]
[To put it bluntly, this kind of behavior is nothing but self-abuse, and is absolutely unacceptable to normal people.]
"If she continues like this, in the end, I'm afraid she won't be able to accept the end of the Age of Gods, let alone the fact that humans have abandoned the gods..."
Moran looked at the stone bridge not far away.
According to the memory information provided by the dragon vein, as long as you walk up this stone bridge, you can get out of the underworld.
But, will he choose to leave?
"...Now that I've seen something like that, I have no reason to leave. I'll destroy every beautiful thing I see. Beautiful things deserve a happy ending."
Moran turned his back to the stone bridge and took a step forward.
He did not choose to walk towards the exit of the underworld.
Instead, he walked towards the deeper level of the underworld.
——If you love, you should love with all your strength.
This is Moran's personal creed and principle that he recently recognized.
It would be such a pity to let such a dazzling goddess endure the pain.
At least, her efforts should be rewarded.
This is what really matters.
"Besides, I'm not one of those bastard gods. They can be indifferent to a woman struggling in the underworld, but I can't do that."
Moran cursed the gods as he spoke.
"That's true. The gods knew of Ereshkigal's difficulties, but no one offered help."
[Choose a newly born girl to become the foundation of the underworld]
[Then, let her fend for herself in this wasteland]
No god came to help her.
[For tens of millions of years, figures like the shepherd god Dumuzi and the sun god Nergal were defeated by Ereshkigal and chose to succumb to the contract, handing over half of their power and half of their time.]
Ereshkigal originally wanted the power of life and the sun, to build the underworld into a warm and peaceful country.
[In the end, they gave plagues and the power to control snakes and dragons]
This doesn't make the underworld any better.
[On the contrary, it made Ereshkigal's dark attributes as the goddess of the underworld become deeper and deeper.]
When you see this memory
[When I saw Ereshkigal, who was about to cry but couldn't]
[It's also a bit funny]
This goddess is not a deity who manifests personal desires.
[In other words, she is sultry and tsundere]
Putting the plan to return to the surface on hold
[You will head to the palace of the underworld as your goal, and continue down the stone bridges layer by layer]
When you encounter the seven gates of the underworld
You paused for a moment.
[It's unclear whether powers of the same type from different pantheons are applicable. You, desperately trying to save the situation, used the power of Hades, the god of the underworld, to crack the problem.]
【The result was found out by you】
[It took some time to crack the first door, but the next six doors were not much of a problem.]
[This is really a surprise for you]
"Greek power also applies to Sumer? Could it be that the power of these gods comes from the same source?"
Walking on the road, Moran couldn't help but have this guess.
He only had a slight understanding of divine authority, and only God himself could truly interpret divine authority.
However, it's a good thing to be able to hurry.
You successfully broke through the Seventh Gate.
[Afterwards, you noticed through the data displayed on the armor that the outside temperature and air pressure were constantly decreasing.]
[There is no doubt that we are on the right path]
