In full view of everyone, Ishtar came within half a meter of Shen Yuan, then stared at him and turned around. After confirming the shape and aura of the magic sword behind him, she immediately took a step back in caution, as if she had discovered something.

"Ah!! It's you—the one who slaughtered the monsters on the plains outside Uruk!!"

Ishtar finally recognized Shen Yuan.

"How can this be?"

Ishtar's eyes widened, revealing an extremely exaggerated facial expression. She then asked in surprise, "How did you become so small? That 'blood-winged demon'-like creature had a 40-meter-long giant sword. I was wondering where he had disappeared to in the blink of an eye, but I didn't expect him to be a human!"

"You mean [Great Destruction]? Oh, I'm right. It makes sense to start a big clear of small monsters."

Shen Yuan realized that Ishtar had seen all his actions.

"...Strange fellow, forget it, this goddess doesn't want to fight you now. I still have to go find the 'Bull of Heaven'. Once I find it, I'll fight you."

After a while, Ishtar, whose brain was a little out of order, took a step back with a little fear, and she seemed to have calmed down.

When fighting with this kind of demon, no matter if you barely win or lose, you will definitely be the one who suffers.

Besides, if she took real action, the other party would surely resist. The two would fight against each other for a long time, and in the conflict, each would show their magical powers... and then it would definitely lead to the destruction of the city of Uruk. It was because of this that Ishtar endured it.

But what she didn't expect was that Shen Yuan was not on equal terms with her.

People have already worked out a set of 'combos' that are guaranteed to take her down with full health. As long as she accepts the fight, it will be a story of the six-piece armored Sword Demon descending from heaven to kill the Ice Archer in the bottom lane alone.

"Hmph, Gilgamesh, you're lucky!"

In Sumerian mythology, the most famous goddess (demon) left a cruel word before sailing away on the "boat of the sky", disappearing into the clouds with the force of breaking through the air.

"Leaving now?"

Merlin opened his eyes wide, he thought he would see a huge battle between a demon and a goddess.

"It's unbelievable, you actually scared her off?"

"I don't think so."

Shen Yuan shook his head and looked in the direction where Ishtar disappeared.

"Perhaps she's suddenly had a sudden change of heart and decided to let us go. Besides, it's not worth wasting the power of the 'God Slayer Blade' on such a wretch."

Drawing the sword means the goddess will die.

Otherwise, Shen Yuan would suffer a huge loss because of the 'Darkin Curse'. If he wavered most of his strength, he would definitely consume a lot of blood and energy. Therefore, Ishtar had to die in order to compensate for the loss of his strength.

If fighting is not about killing each other, then there is no point.

Especially this kind of confrontation between gods is not as simple as the interaction between mortals.

Therefore, Shen Yuan left the opportunity to kill the gods to other goddesses, and Ishtar was also very sensible to temporarily avoid the limelight and go to find the strongest magical beast "Bull of Heaven" to increase her prestige and strength.

"Why do I feel like you're disappointed, Merlin?"

"No, no, no, that's not the case."

Merlin scratched his long silver hair and quickly denied the idea of wanting to watch the fun: "I just think it would be nice if we could solve the great disaster of Uruk here."

"..."

Gilgamesh's lips moved slightly, he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, and in the end he said nothing.

But looking at his expression, Merlin could completely understand what he was thinking.

"Based on past experience with singularity corrections, if we were to face the three goddesses invading Uruk, we wouldn't necessarily have to kill them all. It would be enough to subdue or convince them."

0 .. 0

Mashu acted as an explanation and continued.

"Killing the local deity, Ishtar, isn't necessarily the best solution; it would also shake the very foundations of human reason. Therefore, rather than killing her, convincing her or sealing her away is far more effective. Perhaps Mr. Aatrox values this fact and has refrained from actually taking action."

Mashu even thought of an excuse for Shen Yuan.

"That being said, the method to convince Ishtar is simple. All you need to do is spend money and gems. But—what about her sister?"

"elder sister?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and others pricked up their ears curiously.

"Yes. The true threat to Uruk is one of the goddesses of the Three Goddesses Alliance, Ereshkigal. She is the lord of the underworld and the twin sister of Ishtar. When Ishtar descends, Ereshkigal appears with her. During the day, she appears as Ishtar, and at night, she becomes one of the three goddesses of the Warcraft camp."

Wise King Gilgamesh explained that he thought it would be easy to bribe Ishtar, but Ereshkigal, the Lord of the Underworld, might not be so easy.

Because of this, even if they could convince Ishtar to join them, it would be useless if Ereshkigal disagreed.

Ereshkigal was a native Mesopotamian deity.

The mistress of the underworld, ruler of death and the undead.

She can freely control the gun-shaped cage, sometimes piercing enemies, sometimes imprisoning souls, and sometimes sending down lightning. She is a very terrifying ruler of the underworld.

"King Gilgamesh, can't you foresee the future? Then, using your Clairvoyance (EX), tell us what you saw in the future. Who was the first goddess to be dealt with? And how was Ereshkigal defeated?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly had an idea and said, since Gilgamesh is a quasi-champion magician, he must have this ability.

"This king naturally knows what the future will hold, but the future can be altered. All of this depends on one person's thinking..."

Gilgamesh smiled slightly, and his scarlet eyes like snakes fell on Shen Yuan.

"Oh? What did you see?"

Shen Yuan stared at him with a half-smile.

"I saw a 'blood-winged demon' travel to the underworld and come into contact with Ereshkigal. But the future can change. I saw that demon kill the god of the underworld. I also saw that demon strike a deal with the god of the underworld, turning against the people of Uruk and drawing his sword... Of course, I also saw that demon convince the mistress of the underworld."

Gilgamesh curled his lips at this point and said, "So, the future isn't necessarily inevitable. There are many endings, depending on the choices you make."

After Jin Shanshan finished speaking, the pressure fell on Shen Yuan.

Everyone else stared at him, some worried and some nervous, because Gilgamesh said that Shen Yuan might become their enemy. In that future, Shen Yuan killed all of them and became the real world terminator, but was eventually exiled to the imaginary world by Tiamat, completed a cellular-level contract with Beast II, and turned evil to become an enemy of mankind.

"I see. The reason for this 'unexpected incident' is all my fault, right?"

Shen Yuan shrugged, understanding what Gilgamesh meant.

It means that 'the predicted future is not necessarily the real future'. The choice must be made by Shen Yuan independently, so as not to be interfered with by cause and effect.

Chapter 277: Conquer the Southern Goddess! The Sword of Damocles Reappears!

"Please share all the information about the Three Goddesses Alliance."

At this point, Shen Yuan stared at Gilgamesh with great interest and made a request to him: "However, I won't help you for nothing. Tell me the truth, the great cup of Uruk - the [Holy Grail] is in your hands, right?"

"Yes, the king does hold the Great Cup of Uruk."

Gilgamesh didn't hide anything.

"Not only that, there are two Holy Grails in the Seventh Singularity. One is held by King Gilgamesh and is part of his collection. The other was placed there by Solomon, and its whereabouts are currently unknown..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave an explanation.

"The other one is in the hands of 'Enkidu', of course, the fake one."

Shen Yuan said.

As far as he knew, the Holy Grail in the Absolute Demonic Front was made by "Solomon" and placed in various eras, using the power of the Holy Grail to influence and destroy human history.

However, since the one in Jingu's hand cannot be obtained at the moment, we can only consider the large cup in Uruk.

"Enkidu..."

Hearing this name, Gilgamesh's expression became complicated, but he didn't say anything: "So, what do you want the Holy Grail for?"

"Wait! Mr. Aatrox, did you know from the beginning that the fake Enkidu was holding the Holy Grail?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said hurriedly.

"Yes."

"So, you let him escape with the Holy Grail in public??"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was completely stunned. She became anxious and explained, "Alas, if you had kept him and taken the Holy Grail from him, then the Seventh Singularity would have been easily repaired, and there would have been no more Human Principle Incineration!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Mashu also nodded vigorously. At that time, as long as Shen Yuan did not deviate from the sword, Enkidu would die and the Holy Grail would explode.

"What does Renri Shao have to do with me?"

Shen Yuan sneered, looking at Fuji "Zero Two Zero" Maru Ritsuka and the others with disdain. "You recovered the Holy Grail, repaired the singularity, and failed to incinerate humanity, yet you left with a clean conscience. What about me? Without the Holy Grail, how can I contain the vast magical power of the dead gods? If Enkidu can't awaken the three goddesses, I won't be able to ascend again, unless you want me to become the next Demon King. Goetia is happy to provide me with the Holy Grail, of course, at the cost of humanity's extinction."

“…I’m sorry, I didn’t know about this!”

Ritsuka Fujimaru suddenly came to his senses. Yes, the other party had no obligation to help him repair the singularity.

Ultimately, the starting points of their interests are different.

Although it is helpless, the future of Uruk and the right to choose the world all lie in the hands of this "Blood-Winged Demon".

Either cooperate with him or you will all die.

The Demon King Goetia really hopes to join forces with a being like the World Terminator Aatrox. Aatrox helps Goetia destroy the human race, and Goetia also fulfills his wish.

If this is true, the Chaldea Bureau will probably be defeated by the two of them working together.

"But from a human's perspective, I think this is a manifestation of my generosity and compassion. You should be grateful. At least I don't act as willfully as other gods."

Do whatever you want, this is the freedom of human beings and the freedom of gods.

"I understand, my king. It's quite normal. There's no need to be angry, nor happy. Of course, the cup, the symbol of Uruk, cannot be handed over to you unconditionally. I hope you can fulfill your promise."

Gilgamesh agreed to hand over the Great Grail of Uruk in exchange for Aatrox's help in slaying the gods.

"You don't need to remind me."

Shen Yuan shrugged and said, "Let's choose the goddess (Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god) in the southern rainforest as our first target. Since she's chosen to defend herself and not attack, perhaps it's to maintain a delicate balance. Once the stalemate on the northern defense line is broken, the southern goddess won't sit idly by."

According to the information provided by Gilgamesh, the goddess of the south did not massacre the local indigenous people, but trapped humans in the forest for fun, forcing them to stay in one place and unable to go anywhere.

But this does not necessarily mean that the goddess has an extremely kind heart and loves the world.

Rather, it means that she neither loves nor hates humans. She doesn't like humans very much, but she doesn't hate humans so much that she would kill them.

As for whether the attack is light or heavy, it all depends on the southern goddess's personal preference.

From this point, it can be seen that this southern goddess is very much a "traitor". When the northern goddess is extremely hostile to humans, she still remains idly by, which shows that her position is not firm, or relatively neutral.

"Now that the balance has been broken and the northern beasts are beginning to lose ground, it is necessary for this goddess with the heart of a child to personally lead the ferocious beasts of the southern rainforest to attack and bring disaster to the world."

Shen Yuan analyzed.

The gods stand on a position that is above and beyond the world.

Just like how humans treat ants, some naughty kids like to step on ants, scald them with boiling water, burn them with fire, and use all kinds of ways to enjoy the ten thousand ways ants die.

Similarly, isn't it the same for gods with great power when facing humans?

The kinder ones simply left without even looking at humans.

The more evil ones cannot be said to be evil from God's perspective, it only means that they don't like ants as creatures.

However, one thing needs to be confirmed, that is, there are two types of gods. One is a spiritual belief object born from the human group, and the other is a life form that is powerful to a certain extent.

The former will be given the definition of "good and evil" by humans. If humans think she is good, then she is good, otherwise she is evil.

The latter are not understood by humans. There are more supernatural beings like the Outer Gods, the Void, and Cthulhu, whose nature cannot be understood by humans.

Shen Yuan has both, jumping back and forth between the two camps.

Therefore, he did not hate the Southern Goddess's behavior, but rather approved of it. So when dealing with such a goddess who easily changed her stance, he naturally had his own set of rhetoric.

As long as he sees this goddess, he can use his eloquent tongue to deceive her and ensure that she will worship him and cut off her connection with the "Three Goddesses Alliance".

So, the first person Shen Yuan wanted to deal with was the Southern Goddess.

"Get the Uruk Cup ready! I'm going to subdue the Southern Goddess and bring her here. We'll exchange her for the goods!"

Shen Yuan said this, turned around and prepared to leave the sacred tower of Uruk.

"and many more!"

Gilgamesh pondered for a moment and asked, "If we make such a big move, the North Goddess will surely not sit idly by. If she also takes action, won't we be attacked from both sides?"

"So, what do you mean?"
