The palace is just below.

[As you advance, you gradually come to an open space and see the full view of the underworld palace——]

Although it is called a palace, it is still deserted.

In front of me, there is only a flat and smooth temple foundation, with several unfinished stone pillars standing around it.

Stones and rubble of various shapes piled up into mountains.

This place doesn't look like a palace of God, but rather more like a construction site that has not yet been built.

No, calling it a construction site is praise.

The temperature and darkness here are unacceptable to humans, and it doesn't even qualify as a construction site.

"It's so... desolate..."

Moran couldn't help but sigh.

Although he had seen it in Dragon Vein's memory, he didn't expect that the Underworld Palace had not yet been built.

However, as Moran stepped into the foundation of the temple.

A huge pressure gathered.

The empty space that was dark just now was now illuminated by the uniform blue flames.

It's like drawing back the curtain on a stage.

The girl who previously existed only in the memory of this land,

Her figure appeared before Moran.

She is the queen who commands the Garula spirits and is the god who controls all matters in the underworld.

The mistress of the underworld - Ereshkigal IX.

Chapter 431: The Long-Awaited Goddess of the Underworld [Please Subscribe! Please Give Me Flowers!]

The girl believes that humans are stupid.

Humans cannot escape the pain of living and the fear of death.

[However, as long as the gods exist]

Humans can then attribute all the irrationalities and cruelties to the gods.

【Then, continue to live a carefree life】

The girl believes that this way of existence is good, and is willing to be blamed by others.

[She was born to be entrusted by the gods with the responsibility of controlling the underworld]

As the ruler of the underworld who controls death and corruption, sometimes imprisoning souls and sometimes sending down lightning, she is feared by the world.

The girl accepted this fact.

【However, there is one thing she cannot accept】

"I don't deny villains. But, evil can obviously help humans in evil ways, so why are people so afraid of them?"

[The girl has always had this idea in her mind]

[Even though she is in an evil position, she still wants to extend her hands to help the world]

Therefore, we can only use evil laws.

[The girl's inner cry was unheard, and she was trapped in the cold abyss of loneliness from the very beginning.]

[The only thing that can give the girl some comfort]

[It is the city on the ground that has offered its faith to her—]

"That city has offered me its prayers again. It's out of fear and terror, but there's nothing I can do about it. As an exchange of value, I must take good care of it..."

The living are meant to live a brilliant life, and then face death. Only such a death is meaningful... Well, I will do my best to prevent those unreasonable deaths from bothering you."

The girl observes the surface of the earth through the magic mirror of the underworld.

That smile was gentle.

Although she is a goddess of the underworld who is feared and avoided by the world, there are still humans who believe in her.

The capital city was called Kusa.

It is one of the few cities that believes in her.

"Don't worry, even after death, there's no need to worry. Making a gun cage is hard work. But seeing someone offer a prayer is still very happy... Ah, it would be even better if everyone could stop being afraid..."

The girl looked at the people singing and dancing.

A joyful smile appeared on his face.

It seemed that when she saw happy people, she became happy too.

These are her people who believe in her.

"Huh, I wonder if I can provide them with a comfortable place to stay after they die... Come on, Ereshkigal! You can't be so downhearted. It's so hard to get someone to count on me! As a goddess, I have to work harder!"

The girl cheered herself up again.

Her enthusiasm was immediately ignited.

Then, it was time to strike while the iron was hot and start a new round of work, continuing to weave new gun cages for the souls.

There would have been nothing special about the situation.

Work is still the same as usual.

However, when she was halfway through making a new gun cage, she heard the report from Garula Ling.

"Huh? Did you hear the dead say that the living had entered the underworld? Did those delirious dead say that?"

The girl showed an expression of surprise and astonishment.

The story of Ishtar's foray into the underworld and her impalement was well known in Mesopotamia.

She didn't think anyone was stupid enough to venture into the underworld.

Afterwards, the girl ordered the Garula spirit to patrol for traces of the living and not let that living person disrupt the order of the underworld.

"Well, it happens all the time that the living stumble into the underworld. Most of those who are unlucky end up dead. I don't want this kind of injustice to happen again, it would be too pitiful... Oh, and besides, my reputation would plummet again!"

Then people will say I'm cruel, ruthless, and controlling, but I'm not like that! That's clearly Ishtar!"

The girl said she was worried about her reputation.

In fact, I am still worried about the safety of the living.

The underworld is not a gentle world.

The dead here all envy and hate the living, and the environment is forcing the living to die.

If you are not careful, you will die suddenly.

The spirit of Galula was slow to come forward to deliver the report.

As time went by, the girl became more and more worried and left the throne several times to consider whether to provide any help.

But, when I think of the oath I once made.

She couldn't use her power for personal gain.

"well........"

Finally, the girl sighed helplessly.

As the mistress of the underworld, she really shouldn't give the living too much special treatment. Although she felt bad, she could only anxiously wait for the report from the Garula spirit.

"Eh? Are the seven gates of the underworld... reacting?"

The girl noticed something strange again.

The gate to the underworld, which used to only respond when she gave the order, now activated without any order.

This should be impossible.

“Eh hey hey?! Who is that guy?! Wearing all that black armor, there has to be a limit to how cool he can be, right?!

Also, what's with that familiar yet strange aura? Is it a Hades from another divine realm?

The girl summoned the magic mirror and exclaimed repeatedly.

She saw a man in black armor, who seemed to be analyzing the door to the underworld.

"Could it be... that the living person... is him...?

How strange! How could someone go to another divine realm alone, and their destination be the gods of the underworld? "

The girl couldn't understand the man's intention.

However, she still waved her hand to connect the seven gates.

This is not a lack of vigilance.

As long as the girl was in this underworld, she was nearly invincible. Even if the god king Enlil came here, he would be no different from a mortal to her.

So, even gods from other divine realms.

The girl wasn't afraid at all.

The man answered the 0.6 questions raised by Nanamimon, and she also confirmed that he did not hold any hostility.

Moreover, she learned the other party's identity.

It turns out that men are not foreign gods.

He was Moran, the eldest son of the buffalo goddess Ninsun.

"It's rare for the Underworld to have such a visitor. I don't know why he possesses the power of a vassal god related to the Underworld, but looking at it this way, he can't be said to be unrelated to the Underworld, right?

Then as the mistress of the underworld, I should have no problem entertaining you.

Humph, it's a rare occasion to have guests, so I have to behave in a manner befitting the goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal!"

The girl took care of her clothes and makeup in front of the magic mirror.

A happy smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, she seemed not a high and mighty god, but a girl eagerly awaiting visitors.

Chapter 432: All Fallacies and Rumors [Please Subscribe! Please Give Me Flowers!]

"I heard that Ishtar and him seemed to have a big conflict. That guy was so angry that he jumped around in Mesopotamia. As a goddess, how can you be so petty? Can this be considered my half?

However, he also seems to have brought his mother back, and this has caused a quarrel among the gods. What kind of person is he...?

While waiting, the girl was thinking.

In addition to her daily teasing of Ishtar, she was also curious about the man named Moran.

Apart from anything else, it was something that could make Ishtar so angry.

This must be a very interesting person.

[You are in front of the desolate and empty palace of the underworld]

[Meeting the Mistress of the Underworld]

[Accompanied by the powerful pressure that belongs only to the gods, she appears before you, her posture is the same as in your memory.]

[It’s the appearance of that girl]

"Ereshkigal..."

Moran read out her name first.

At the same time, to show etiquette.

He also disarmed his head armor, retracting it inside his breastplate, revealing his face.

"Haha, I didn't expect that a mere human would actually recognize me. I don't dislike humans like you who understand etiquette, 07.

Especially someone who has the courage to reach the depths of the underworld like this. I will also be generous in my praise."
