I'm in Type-Moon, how can I let you bully me?

As for the "rule of the world and the gods" declared in the Destiny Tablet, the gods are not worried.

There are two gods who have been in charge of the clay tablets of destiny, and Marduk is also the one to whom the royal power responds.

No one understood the power contained in the Tablet of Destiny better than them, and they did not believe that after Russell obtained the Tablet of Destiny, he would be able to gain the power to compete with the gods.

"Okay, that's enough business!"

At this time, Mama stood up again, clapped her hands, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"We were worried before, but from this incident, it seems that our Mistress of Heaven has also become a steady goddess. This divine meeting should be considered a celebration for her!"

"Ishtar!"

"Ishtar!"

"Ishtar!"

Mama clapped her hands to adjust the atmosphere.

Ishtar gritted her teeth, panicking inside, but she had to force a smile on her face and let out a dry laugh.

"Ahahaha, everyone is so enthusiastic..."

"Ishtar!"

Just as everyone was gradually getting into a joyful atmosphere and even Enlil, who had the most irritable temper, had calmed down, a serious voice sounded.

Nanna, who was the first to remind Ishtar at the beginning, was also the first god to discover the clues at the end.

Known daughter Moruofu.

Nanna knew all too well how Ishtar behaved when she got into trouble, from childhood to adulthood.

And this time...

Nanna frowned, feeling a little flustered.

He knew that Ishtar was well aware of how favored she was by the gods. She would never act nonchalant about small matters, nor would she keep them in her heart without speaking out.

Nanna had only seen Ishtar act like this once.

Even Mount Ebifu, the sacred peak revered by the king of the gods, was ravaged and destroyed.

And Ishtar only went to Uruk once, why would she act like this?

She couldn't possibly kill Lugalbanda!

This thought flashed through his mind. Although he thought it was absurd, Nanna became even more panicked. He immediately asked seriously, "Ishtar, you are hiding something, right?"

If it was such a serious matter, Nanna knew that he could not help Ishtar solve it privately.

There's no time to worry about anything else, so I might as well just make it clear.

Nanna's serious words were like a sharp sword, destroying Ishtar's fragile disguise.

The arrogant attitude she maintained on the surface suddenly collapsed, her tone became weak and her smile became shy.

"Hey, it's just a little... a little episode..."

"episode?"

Utu, the god of justice and law enforcement, is the one who knows best how many mistakes Ishtar has made and is the best at catching people making mistakes.

Just by roughly recalling the conversation just now, Wutu discovered the blind spot.

"You just said that there were some misunderstandings in Uruk, but you resolved them. What were they? And how did you resolve them?!"

Seeing that the matter involved Uruk, it was very likely to involve Lugalbanda, which meant it involved future plans, so the gods also became serious.

Even Mama, who had a good relationship with Ishtar, stared at Ishtar seriously at this moment.

Seeing this, Ishtar knew she couldn't hide it, so she could only use her usual tricks, looking very aggrieved and crying in her tone.

"It's that King of Uruk you're talking about! He actually said that Ereshkigal is more worthy of being entrusted with wealth than me, more tolerant, and more intelligent. Do you think that's right?"

"Forehead......"

The gods looked at each other. What could they say?

I can only say that this may be a misunderstanding, but it is unlikely to be a misunderstanding.

They did not understand Ereshkigal, but could they not understand Ishtar?

People may not have heard of Ereshkigal doing any heinous crimes, but they have definitely heard that Ishtar destroyed the sacred Mount Ebifu because she was unhappy.

What Lugalbanda said is actually not impossible.

His emotional intelligence was just a little low, he actually spoke ill of her in front of Ishtar.

Not like them.

They all said this while avoiding Ishtar.

"cough......"

Enki was not softened by Ishtar's behavior.

What a joke! Who here hasn't been fooled by Ishtar like this?

Every time he would shed a few fake tears, and then he would cover up his mistakes while making a fuss.

But this time it’s different!

Enki made his stance clear and said forcefully, "Ishtar, how did you resolve this?"

"Just a biu..."

When Ishtar saw that the gods were not moved, her tears disappeared and she whispered guiltily.

At this time, Tianzhou Ma Anna was also moved in front of her involuntarily, as if this could give her some sense of security.

However, Ishtar's strange description gave the gods a bad feeling.

Wutu narrowed his eyes and said seriously, "A little bitch? Ishtar, be serious!"

"Just a biu!"

Ishtar, who was being questioned continuously like this, could no longer bear it and decided to just throw in the towel.

"With a flick of my wrist, I took Ma Anna and fired a shot at that guy!"

Grass!

Even Anu, who was actually the most tolerant of Ishtar, now looked livid.

Enlil, who originally didn't want to carry out this plan, showed a mocking expression, as if he was gloating.

Enki gritted his teeth and endured it again and again. Finally, he suppressed his inner irritation. He didn't say anything harsh, but just sighed.

"It's fine, as long as he hasn't fallen into the underworld. If we can drag his body or soul to the heavens, we can still resurrect him at a cost."

"That......"

Ishtar felt increasingly guilty and wavered, and she cautiously probed.

"What if he fell into the underworld?"

The gods looked at each other in disbelief.

How did he fall into the underworld?

Is your attack that powerful? It directly connected the ground and the underworld.

Enji's face turned red, his mentality was unbalanced, and he didn't say anything.

Anu could no longer bear it, but seeing Ishtar's expression, which was as unbearable as when she made a mistake as a child, he managed to suppress his dissatisfaction and said, "Well, send a messenger with a gift for Ereshkigal to exchange for his soul."

"That's fine."

Enji finally calmed down and said helplessly.

"After death, the soul goes to the underworld. Exchanging just one of these souls shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps Ereshkigal hasn't even noticed this soul."

Enki still thought positively.

"that......"

Ishtar's voice was trembling at this moment. She felt like she had done something really stupid and wanted to cry but had no tears.

"If, I mean if! If he fell into the underworld as a living person, he should be fine, right?"

Enji's eyes went dark.

What did he hear?

Falling into the underworld as a living person?

The underworld is the land of death. If a living person suddenly appeared here, the possibility that Ereshkigal, the lord of the underworld, would not notice it was zero.

Moreover, Enki knew very well that Ereshkigal, who had been alone in the underworld for countless years, would definitely regard a life appearing in the underworld as a treasure.

He also knew how Ereshkigal's psychology would be distorted after living in a place like the underworld for many years.

In Enki's view, it is perfectly normal to fight to prevent what you want from falling into the hands of others, or to destroy it rather than give it up.

......

At this time, the underworld.

Russell looked at the large skeleton in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he asked in surprise, "Goddess Ereshkigal?"

"Wait...wait a minute, I haven't prepared the ritual yet, don't smell it yet."

In Russell's eyes, this huge skeleton actually showed human-like shame and took several steps back.

ceremony?

Russell was stunned. What kind of ceremony? What was he smelling?

15. The most ordinary smile

In fact, Russell was not the only one who was stunned.

Although Ereshkigal retreated again and again, his eyes, hidden in his skull and like blood-red gems, stared at Russell curiously.

strangeness......

The more Ereshkigal looked, the more curious and confused he became.

She clearly remembered that she did not give Russell the protection of the goddess.

But Russell has a hint of her.

even......

Ereshkigal was even more frightened when he saw the protection of the underworld on Russell's body.

She had also laid eyes on Russell in Uruk, in the temple dedicated to the city goddess, Ishtar.

At that time, Russell had no protection from himself or the underworld.

As soon as Russell fell into the underworld, such protection immediately appeared on his body.

If it was just the goddess's protection, then I could also explain it by saying that my good feelings towards her were giving her protection without me even noticing.

What does this protection from the underworld mean...

Ereshkigal recalled Russell's offensive remarks, and a startling guess came to her mind.

Could it be that......

Even the underworld thinks that she and Russell are a perfect match?

Otherwise, why would the underworld protect Russell?

Favorability cannot be implemented without the knowledge of the protection of the underworld, to the point where the underworld has no influence or even increases it.

You know, Russell is still alive. To achieve this, he must at least share his power, or...

I don't know what he was thinking about, but Ereshkigal, who wanted to show the image of the steady goddess he had mentioned before in front of Russell, couldn't even speak clearly and spoke in a panic.

"it's me."

"..."

Russell was silent, looking at the shy big skeleton in front of him.
