In Zongman, he transformed into Fu Hua at the beginning

If it were her, she would have lost the courage to disturb Gilgamesh after seeing him busy, but the appearance of the Red Kite Immortal made her bolder and she walked to the throne like Merlin.

Gilgamesh, who was looking at the clay tablet, raised his head slightly and saw Amber standing in front of him: "Why are you here?"

He was puzzled, but soon saw her actions after returning to Uruk through his clairvoyance and said, "Are you here to look for Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others? Unfortunately, I recently sent them to investigate Kusa City, northeast of Uruk."

"Thank you for letting me know. I'll take my leave now." After receiving the information, Amber turned her head.

"and many more."

Gilgamesh put down the clay tablet in his hand and said: "Since you are also willing to contribute to Uruk, then you are Uruk's ally. As you can see, Uruk no longer has any treasures to reward its allies."

Amber didn't know why he said this, so she said calmly: "Ensuring the survival of the spark of civilization is my mission."

Although Ishtar told her not to tell such things to the people she protected, Gilgamesh was definitely not one of them.

Well, actually she just said that because she thought it was very handsome.

To protect the spark of civilization?

Gilgamesh's expression softened a lot, and then he looked back at the clay tablet in his hand, indicating that he had nothing more to say.

Confused, Amber didn't care too much about his attitude and walked out of the palace directly.

Fu Hua thought about it for a while.

The king's behavior just now was a big plus for her. Amber had been able to move freely for several days since she came here. With Amber's power, she was able to move around the city without any restraint, just like a bomb that could explode at any time.

But Gilgamesh never restricted it until Amber finally showed her inclination, and then he finally spoke to confirm Amber's position.

Although it is undeniable that Uruk did not have the confidence to fight Amber at that time, it can also be seen how magnanimous Gilgamesh is. He has the skills to treat his subjects and the skills to treat those who can be won over. He is indeed a natural king.

However, this has nothing to do with Amber.

Fu Hua stopped thinking about this and turned to the next thing: "Amber, although you have now entered the realm of Taixu Sword Qi, you must avoid being proud and complacent."

"Ah?" Amber said coldly.

"It's good to be confident in your abilities, but you can't assume you can solve anything." Fu Hua said, "When you were talking to Gilgamesh just now, why didn't you ask what Chaldea was investigating?"

"Uh..." Because... she didn't really care, she just wanted to go to a crowded place to relieve her boredom.

Ultimately, it's because she feels that no one can threaten her, so she's fearless. To put it simply, she's a bit of a bear.

He suddenly gained powerful strength and won every battle easily. The only time he was defeated was when he was sparring with Yu Duchen, and the one he was defeated against was the person he admired.

All these things together can really make people feel swell.

Fu Hua was not surprised. She had sensed this trend earlier, so she had always hoped that Amber would be beaten up.

If it were in the past, she would not have spoken. When something really happened, they would naturally understand, and she could cover it up. But thinking of the fate of all her apprentices in the past, this time she decided to do the opposite and nip Amber in the bud first.

Chapter 17: The Underworld

Amber is not someone who doesn't listen to advice. It's better to say that she is very receptive to advice, especially when the other party is her paper-man wife and master.

It's not that she doesn't understand this principle. Even without Fu Hua telling her, she knew that she shouldn't be proud and complacent. But when it really happened, she didn't even realize that she was getting carried away.

"I understand." Amber nodded: "I will be more careful next time."

Fu Hua has taught not many disciples, but not a few either, and most of them were brought up by her. Amber is considered to be the more obedient and well-behaved among her disciples. Changing a person's character is not something that can be done overnight, so she is not in a hurry for Amber to change immediately.

With Amber's speed, the outline of Kusa City soon appeared in her eyes, and the situation in the city was also taken in by her.

Her first reaction to the scene in the city was strange.

It's so weird. It's obviously a big city, but it's empty. Only the Chaldeans can be seen.

For some reason, everyone in Chaldea chose to act separately at this time, but strangely, Ritsuka Fujimaru, who had no combat ability, was not with Mash, and even his presence could not be felt throughout the entire city.

After thinking about it, Amber chose to land next to Merlin.

"I didn't expect that the Red Kite Immortal would come too. Could it be that he was hired by the king who doesn't know how to be considerate of others to monitor me?" Merlin also noticed the flying Amber and smiled hypocritically after Amber landed.

"That's not the case." Amber had long understood how much Merlin loved to mess things up, so she ignored his teasing and got straight to the point: "Where is Fujimaru Ritsuka?"

"Fujimaru Ritsuka..?" Merlin subconsciously thought that the other party wanted to find Ritsuka for something, but he quickly realized that was not the case.

Just as he can discover himself the first time in the air, the Red Kite Immortal, who can easily sense everyone's breath, does not need to inquire about the situation if he wants to find someone in a city.

Thinking of this, Merlin immediately used his clairvoyance.

"Trouble..." He frowned and waved the staff in his hand. Two spells made of flower petals flew out. Then he said while moving: "Fujimaru Ritsuka is over there in the square!"

Over there in the square? Did he faint?

Amber followed.

Because the search was conducted with the square as the center, the three parties encountered each other almost at the same time.

Seeing Ritsuka fainted in the middle of the square, Mashu hurried over and wanted to wake Ritsuka up, but Amber and Anna could find that Ritsuka Fujimaru was not fainted, but dead and had lost all vital signs.

Roman's voice rang out as he spotted Mashu through Chaldea's specially made bracelet. "Mashu! Fujimaru Ritsuka's vital signs have disappeared! What's going on?!"

"What...? Mr. Merlin!? Senior!" Hearing this, Mashu looked at Merlin who had gathered everyone in astonishment.

"..." Merlin's expression was a little ugly. He had a vague idea, but couldn't grasp the key point.

"He had no consciousness, but his organs were surprisingly intact. It was as if he had just walked down the street and died without any warning." After touching Li Xiang's body, Amber said Fu Hua's original words: "It wasn't a sudden death, nor was it a sudden failure of any organs. He died truly intact."

Hearing this, Mashu looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka's body in disbelief.

"No, wait... this may not be death... no... if that's the case it would be even more troublesome..." Merlin's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he began to speak in riddles.

"Mr. Merlin? What's going on?" Mash asked hurriedly.

"The sky, the ground, and the underworld are all separate entities in most myths, but this is not the case in this era where gods and humans coexist." Merlin explained: "Walking to the underworld on foot is possible in this era."

Mashu was no fool, and immediately understood: "So, Senior is in the underworld now? Then if we just bring Senior's soul back..."

"Bringing the soul back is a very difficult thing."

Merlin's expression wrinkled, and once again he felt that things were getting out of his control.

"A difficult thing..." Mashu's expression was a little panicked, and then she looked at Amber, who was also reliable in her heart.

Being stared at by the beautiful girl with an expression that looked like she might collapse at any moment, Amber was also very anxious. However, when Amber looked at the task guide on the navigation, she did not see any task like "bring Ritsuka back", nor did any prompt appear.

"If there is a way, please speak up." Helplessly, she could only look at Merlin.

Merlin opened his mouth, about to explain something about the underworld and the goddess of the underworld, but suddenly heard a muffled groan.

The familiar voice attracted everyone's attention.

The lifeless Fujimaru Ritsuka slowly opened his eyes, a look of confusion on his face.

"Ritsuka Fujimaru's vital signs have recovered..." Roman's voice rang out again.

"Senior!?" Upon seeing this, Mashu could no longer hold back her emotions and tears welled up in her eyes. Anna, who had been silent the whole time, also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Ritsuka, who was surrounded by everyone, was still a little unresponsive, but when he saw Mashu's tears, he immediately regained his senses. He quickly comforted Mashu's emotions, and then told everyone about how he had just accidentally entered the underworld and was then rescued by an old man named Jusudela.

Merlin pointed to the clay tablet that Ritsuka's hand had pressed to the ground. "The clay tablet in your hand should be the Destiny Tablet, right? Was it given to you by the man who called himself Jusulad?"

"Uh... that should be it?" Ritsuka scratched his head, then asked doubtfully, "What do you call yourself?"

"In Sumerian mythology, Jusurad symbolizes the guardian of the abyss, the bell ringer, and the witness of the death of all things. He is the only person to survive the great flood of extinction, equivalent to the Biblical 'Noah.'" Roman explained: "Like Merlin, I don't think it could be him... But after all, Ishtar and Enkidu both appeared, so it seems not impossible..."

"It should be someone with similar responsibilities. After all, that's not a name you can impersonate on a whim," Merlin said, then frowned and lowered his head. "But as expected... the Underworld is also alive... Which means the Underworld Goddess has also descended here... If that's the case... then what about Ishtar of the Three Goddesses Alliance...?"

Everyone's attention was drawn to his mumbling, but no one except Fu Hua could hear it clearly.

At this moment, Amber suddenly felt Ishtar's presence approaching quickly.

Roman also sounded an alarm through his bracelet: "A large-scale magical reaction is approaching quickly!"

The next moment, hundreds of golden rays of light fell from the sky. Mashu hurriedly stood in front of everyone to block them and was almost knocked away.

Seeing this, Amber grabbed Mashu's body with one hand and raised an inky flame with the other hand to block the remaining attacks.

"I found you!" Ishtar appeared in mid-air at some point, and spoke with a look of dissatisfaction. "I just came back to my city on a whim, and I didn't expect you to be here. Don't you know how foolish it is to investigate the goddess' affairs?"

Please give me props, your support is also my motivation to update!

Chapter 18: Defeat the Goddess

"Alas, the goddess who steals money from the people has appeared. I'm afraid she's already set us as her next target." Merlin even had time to joke, "After all, they've used the investigation to slander us. I didn't expect the goddess would seek to justify a surprise attack."

"Huh? That's not slander, is it? If nothing's wrong, why are you here? Isn't there any other reason besides the investigation?" Ishtar said unhappily, "Besides, what I took was a reasonable reward! Forget it, I'm too lazy to say this a second time. You will pay the price for offending me before! It just so happens that Jin Shanshan, who has nothing to recommend him except his wealth, must have given you a lot of benefits! I will accept it without hesitation!"

As she spoke, she looked at Amber, who was standing on the ground and had just protected the Chaldea group. "Hey! You were talking sweet words to me this morning, but in the afternoon you've already joined my enemy!"

Morning?

Everyone looked at Amber in confusion.

"I have no intention of becoming your enemy," Amber said. Before Ishtar could even smile, she continued, "But I also don't want our friends from Chaldea to get hurt."

"What the hell is this!?" Ishtar frowned.

Amber did not explain immediately, but directly used Yuduchen to cover the surrounding area in an extremely rough manner.

This undisguised use of techniques naturally made everyone realize that something was wrong at the first moment.

"Is this... an inherent barrier?" The surrounding scenery did not change much, but the feeling of being covered by something was very clear, so Mashu guessed so.

"It's not an inherent barrier, but a power similar to an illusion." Merlin looked at Amber with a puzzled expression.

He is a master of illusion, but as mentioned before, no matter what kind of magic, the effect it can produce is far inferior to power. If Ishtar used power in the tower, then even with Gilgamesh in charge, the three people would be defeated by Ishtar at an extremely fast speed.

Authority is not magic, but a technology that utilizes the laws that make up the world. Generally speaking, it is a technology that only gods can master.

But Amber, or the Red Kite Immortal, although he is called an immortal, he does not actually have divinity.

This is also the reason why Ishtar did not take Amber seriously at the beginning. Although it is always said that divinity is a debuff, at the same time, possessing divinity is also the stepping stone to becoming a truly strong person.

Those without divinity are not necessarily weak, but those with divinity are definitely strong.

"You used this to approach me this morning, didn't you?" Ishtar finally understood why she hadn't noticed him approaching her that morning. She then asked curiously, "What kind of power is this? I've never seen it in Mesopotamia."

"It's the power to control consciousness." Amber didn't keep the secret. "Now this place has become the realm of consciousness. All the laws here are controlled by me. Don't worry, you won't get hurt fighting here, and the passage of time is much slower than outside."

This is because Fujimaru Ritsuka is an ordinary person with limited consciousness. If his consciousness is accelerated too much, it may cause damage.

"Don't worry about my real body. I will take good care of it."

"You're surprisingly so self-contained." Ishtar felt a cold sweat running down her forehead.

She could feel that she could force her way out of this space of consciousness, but consciousness was a completely new concept to her, and even she was not sure what would happen if she forced herself to break free.

"It's nice to settle our grudge here." After nervously checking his condition and confirming his magic was still working, Merlin finally felt relieved and said with a smile, "At least the goddess won't take my wallet away."

"I've already told you! This is just compensation for your rudeness to me!" Ishtar had long been annoyed with this white-haired man. Maanna beside her suddenly fired a cannonball, then she took out three star stones that Amber had given her this morning, instantly strengthened the magic power in her body, and with a wave of her hand, she fired hundreds of magic cannonballs again.

By the way, Amber didn't expect that Mayana could come in. It turns out that Mayana does have some consciousness.

"You start fighting right away! Is this the character of a goddess?" Merlin immediately covered his head and ran away. This embarrassing appearance did not surprise Mashu and Anna, and they didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Although she didn't understand the consciousness space yet, Mashu, who wanted to gain experience in fighting against gods, would certainly not miss any opportunity to gain experience. She raised her shield and jumped into the air, intending to interrupt Ishtar's attack, but Ishtar dodged it flexibly and then kicked her back to the ground.

Anna took the opportunity to wrap the chain in Ishtar's hand around her ankle and dragged her to the ground, but was directly interrupted by Maanna's artillery fire. Then she was forced to keep her distance due to the successive artillery fire.

tricky.

Anna and Mashu both felt a headache.

Without Gilgamesh's help, Ishtar's magic was completely unrestricted.

"What's wrong? If you can't reach the sky, you won't be able to attack me." Ishtar laughed in mid-air.

"How despicable! Come down and fight honestly!" Merlin shouted.

“Who would give up their advantage?” Ishtar sneered.

Seeing this, Mashu and Anna had to continue using jumping to fight, but unfortunately it had little effect. Ishtar, who had enough magic power and could use magic without restrictions, would not land on the ground to fight them.

Finally, Ishtar, who was a little tired of playing, decided to end the battle. She gathered magic power that put Anna and Mashu under great pressure, but suddenly disappeared into space.

"Ok?"

Not only Anna and Mashu, but even Merlin was a little confused.

What about people?

Amber was aware of the situation. After all, she was the user of Yu Duchen. Not only could she pay attention to the consciousness space at all times, but it also did not interfere with her activities in the real world.

Seeing that Ishtar's consciousness suddenly fell silent, Amber cancelled Yu Duchen and allowed the others' consciousness to return to their bodies.
