[There is no doubt that you are also overwhelmed]

[There's nothing I can do about it. From Ishtar's perspective, your view on love is also irrational.]

[However, Ishtar's is also abnormal]

[You two started swearing at each other like children.]

[In the end, the two fell into silence]

[They both knew the other wasn't going to give in, and thus fell into a stalemate where they couldn't speak.]

"........."

Ishtar stared at Moran silently.

The murderous aura released did not change at all.

She still looked like she was going to kill Moran.

However, she hesitated to take action, and Ishtar's hesitation gave Moran a lot of free time.

"........."

For a moment Moran thought she was joking.

Of course, this illusion only lasted for a moment.

"How calm! I've given you so much time to think, yet you still maintain this attitude. It's exactly the same as when we first met. I won't be fooled by you again. This is the last time, and the last favor I'll give you—"

Ishtar paused for a moment.

Then he said, "Abandon Ereshkigal and come to me. I can give you everything she cannot give you.

Whether it's strength, wealth, or power. As long as you are willing to abandon Ereshkigal and become my Ishtar's lover. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise? What are you going to do?"

"Moran, if you refuse, you will face a divine punishment more cruel than anything you've ever faced. Whether it's Uruk or Gilgamesh's megalomania, I will destroy anything you hold dear."

Ishtar's expression was very calm.

It's like talking about a trivial matter.

However, the invisibly increasing pressure made it possible to feel the hope and madness hidden beneath her calmness.

"I originally thought that after spending these past few years together, you would have understood that love cannot be obtained through coercion and violence.

I will not accept it. Nor will I surrender to you because of your threats. No matter what divine punishment you bring down, I will not abandon Ereshkigal because of threats."

There was a hint of disappointment in Moran's eyes.

If Ishtar hadn't threatened him like that, Moran would at least have considered her the object of his love.

But he couldn't accept this threat.

He could not accept the threat of loving one person and giving up another.

"Ishtar, I didn't push you away, you chose to push me away. If you can't accept me, you can choose to leave me, and I won't pester you. However, if you want to take something I cherish, then I can only regard you as an enemy."

Soon, the disappointment in Moran's eyes was dispelled by determination.

If he had simply chosen to surrender out of fear of divine punishment, he would not have disobeyed the gods in the first place, nor would he have gone to the point of fighting to the death.

This is his bottom line that he cannot compromise on.

"Well--"

Ishtar clenched her fists.

It's like even the last bit of hope has been lost.

"Moran...if you don't want to accept my words...if you don't want to love me...then I will kill you! Even if it's you, I won't spare you. I will kill you without mercy--!!"

Tears welled up in Ishtar's eyes.

Her beautiful eyes, like gems, were soaked with tears.

"........."

This scene made Moran's heart tighten.

But, Moran couldn't just give in like that, not when Ishtar threatened him.

[The conversation can only end here]

Everything I had spent with her over the past few years was lost.

[A sense of loss emerges from the bottom of my heart]

[Pain, of course it hurts]

[However, you won't regret it, this is the path he chose]

You anticipated this day a long time ago.

Morgan has often discussed this with you.

If we continue to be so philanthropic, we will eventually fall, and it seems that time has come.

【The road you choose must be walked through with determination】

[At this point, there's only one path left for you and Ishtar. You can only accept it.]

【Accept the fact that I can no longer laugh with her】

[Whether you faced Artemis or now Ishtar, you haven't changed at all.]

You can’t choose to sacrifice anyone you love.

【To achieve love between yourself and another person】

"--call."

Moran took a deep breath.

Facing Ishtar's completely erupted murderous intent.

"I can't abandon Ereshkigal for you."

"In that case, even if I have to use force, I will make you surrender! This time, I will also settle the humiliation of the past!"

Ishtar suddenly appeared with a white storm.

The pressure released is that of a god.

There is no luxury of hesitation and no time to make decisions.

Absolutely not... The massacre against the goddess who absolutely did not want to fight had already begun—

[This time, I043shtar is completely serious]

[She was no longer as carefree as when she first met you. She showed her full strength from the beginning.]

[On this land she rules]

[Showing absolute hostility towards you]

[She is undoubtedly a main god among the gods, and she is also the Earth Mother Goddess, who is only higher than her.]

Ishtar not only possesses the power of love and beauty, but also possesses the godhood of war. The conquest of Mesopotamia by Uruk was largely due to her.

[In terms of specifications, she is not inferior to you, and this land is also the home of the goddess Ishtar.]

"I will definitely make you regret this. I will absolutely, absolutely shatter you to pieces! I will never let you off the hook!"

Ishtar stared at Moran.

The resentment and hatred had already reached an all-time high.

The voice was as cold and ruthless as a demon seeking revenge, revealing the goddess' cruel side.

The power of beauty is activated under this emotion.

——Reversal of cause and effect.

The cold earth was enchanted, acquiring functions and even emotions similar to those of organic intelligent life forms.

Like huge animals, or groups of small animals.

The earth bulged like clay figures, turning into a raging sea, mixed with storms and rushing towards Moran.

Chapter 498: Out of Reach [Please subscribe! Please give me flowers!]

"........"

Moran endured Ishtar's malice.

He wasn't going to respond.

Currently, Ishtar is in a frenzy, and no matter how much he says, it will only anger the locals.

However, Moran Yue kept silent.

The goddess's wrath will only grow more intense.

However, the power of charm was nothing to Moran. Perhaps Ishtar had already used it to its peak.

But he didn't care about it.

"Humph!"

Moran raised his hand and spilt blood, transforming the surrounding land of dozens of kilometers into a singularity, thus building his own territory first.

The magnificent and tall city walls rise from the ground.

It trapped the goddess and myself like a cage.

Afterwards, a power struggle between the True Ancestor and the Goddess unfolded, as if a struggle for ownership of this land.

【Earth, Nature, Storm, Heat】

Various natural phenomena collide with each other one after another

[You are slightly inferior in terms of natural power. Among the principles you currently possess, there is no principle that is most suitable for your inheritance. Using the city wall principle alone is not that effective.]

[However, you still have a fantasy to materialize]

When you unfold the realm of imaginary reality, the weight of the two realms weighs upon the thin layer of this world.

Ishtar felt the pressure.

[Having been with you for several years, she had anticipated your power and could clearly sense the strength of your power.]

You always have opportunities to gain an advantage

"However, every time you discovered Ishtar's weakness, you didn't kill her. Although you said you considered her an enemy, you couldn't be so ruthless as to kill her."

【But you don’t take action】

[Doesn't mean her resentment won't diminish]

Ishtar opens her arms even in your singularity, and attempts to devour your singularity with her own power.

[The bloody world and the brilliance of Venus compete with each other]

The words she uttered transcend even the realm of the Word Spirit and are about to become the Law of Heaven. Their power is enough to oppose you.

Gods are manifestations of natural phenomena.

Whether it's ideal for humans or other animals or plants is irrelevant. Her words are the decree of the planet's surface.

If the goddess Ishtar says that crows are white, crows will disappear from the world. Even if the crow species disappears from the earth, no one will notice.

[This is how God's power works]

[That doesn't make any sense at all.]

[If ordinary humans faced such gods, they would have no power to resist. But you are different. The power you possess is not weaker than these gods, and you may even be their nemesis.]

Ishtar's power lies in your singularity.

[Although she can fight, she is always at a disadvantage. Your Beast King Blood is specifically targeted at divine enemies.]

[Countless magical beasts were bred and born in the blood pool]

[They roared in rebellion at the goddess]
