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

“…Isn’t it because of you?”

Russell pretended not to know and patted the huge Garula spirit at his feet.

Garula's spirit also trembled, responding to Russell excitedly.

Looking at this strange scene, Ereshkigal shook his head decisively.

"of course not!"

The Garula spirit is an evil spirit born from the underworld and will only obey the orders of the Lord of the Underworld.

Thinking of this, Ereshkigal hesitated.

"They only obey the orders of the Master of the Underworld. Perhaps you have the potential to become the Master of the Underworld... the Underworld."

After he finished speaking, Ereshkigal realized something and changed his words.

The scarlet eyes were escaping in panic at this moment, but they were secretly looking at the thoughtful boy.

The originally pale skin now had a slight blush on it.

This was difficult to conceal, but the boy's pensive look made Ereshkigal feel a little relieved, feeling that he hadn't been exposed.

The reason for this is very simple.

Ereshkigal was about to blurt out the words just now, but suddenly changed his mind.

The underworld has a master, and from the moment she was born, whether she was willing or not, she naturally became the mistress of the underworld.

only......

Ereshkigal frantically recalled what he had just wanted to say.

She guessed that he was protected by the underworld, could use the spirit of Garula at will, and was connected to her.

Perhaps, Russell has the potential to become the male master of the underworld.

But how could she say such words!

Ereshkigal fiddled with the hilt of his gun, not daring to look up.

18. Will you win?

Scarlet lines cracked across the sky, and the Eternal Throne cast a shadow that blocked out the entire sky.

Under the wrath of the Mistress of Heaven, the sword in the hand of the being who was both a hero and a king had broken into pieces.

Anger was boiling in the hero's pupils, and behind him was a city-state that knew nothing about it. Thousands of lights flickered in the city-state, like the last breath of civilization.

“Isn’t that too exaggerated?”

An Haiduana looked at what she had written and felt a little distressed.

There seems to be too much artistic processing involved.

but......

Inspiration came and I wrote so much unconsciously.

She looked at the pile of stone slabs in front of her with a headache. Some of them were different chapters, and some were the same chapters, but Anhaiduyana thought of a better description.

In this way, with additions, deletions and revisions, the stone slabs accumulated one by one.

In fact, Anhaiduyana originally wanted to write more, but the time she spent with Russell was too short.

So, even though I am full of inspiration now, there are not many plots to write.

Some of the contents on these stone tablets in front of us are purely fabricated.

Thinking of those fabricated contents, An Haiduana couldn't help but blush. Although they were all positive, doing such a thing made her, who had a high moral standard, feel ashamed.

"Let's stop here for today. There's no rush. We'll have more contact in the future."

Anhaiduyana put down the carving knife, stood up and walked towards the bed.

Next to the bed was a beautiful, soft little cradle.

A tightly wrapped baby is sleeping soundly, as if having a sweet dream, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Looking at the child, Anhaiduana's heart was touched. She gently stroked her face and murmured.

"I don't know what you're dreaming about, but it should be a good dream, right? I hope you can sleep a little longer."

Unfortunately......

The baby's sweet dream was interrupted before it lasted long.

"Oh no! High Priest!!!"

The noise outside the room woke up the baby, who was already a light sleeper.

The baby who just woke up lacks a sense of security and cries for his mother's arms.

An Haiduyana gently picked up the child and walked out of the room with a frown.

"What's going on? Such a commotion!"

"Yes...it's the king..."

The person who came was the priestess who was originally on duty outside the temple. After hearing the noise and confirming the situation, she was so scared that she rushed straight to Anhaiduyana.

king?

Thinking of the confrontation between Russell and Ishtar when she left, Anhaiduyana's face turned pale, and unspeakable fear and anxiety occupied her heart.

She suppressed these negative emotions and signaled the witch with her eyes to explain the details.

The witch trembled as she recalled the horrible scene in the temple.

"It seems the goddess Ishtar has unleashed her wrath. No one is left in the temple, only a seemingly bottomless black hole. From within... the aura of the underworld flows..."

The breath of the underworld...

Anhaiduana's face became paler and she held the child tighter, as if this could give her a sense of security.

She didn't understand what was happening, but she knew she had to do something.

"Quick! Go and prepare the sacrifice to the god Anu and the sun god Utu."

Before the coming of Ishtar, Uruk was a stronghold of the Anu faith.

And Utu is the source of the divinity of the king of Uruk.

Even so, Anhaiduyana still felt uneasy.

That's the goddess Ishtar. Will the gods be willing to help?

Even if you want to, what can you do?

The underworld is a Jedi that no one can and no one dares to go to.

Can I force the goddess Ishtar to descend into the underworld and bring the king back?!

......

"Ishtar, don't worry, we won't watch you go to the underworld."

After the gods had made a final decision, Anu, as the de facto initiator, still spoke words to appease Ishtar.

Ishtar felt grief-stricken, as if she were like dough, to be kneaded and flattened at will by Ereshkigal.

But after hearing what Anu said, she was still a little skeptical: "Really?"

"real......"

Mama still had that gentle smile on her face as she answered Ishtar's question on behalf of Anu.

"We'll keep our eyes closed."

"Thank you so much!"

Ishtar became even more annoyed.

However, she had no way to do anything about it.

Even Enlil, the king of the gods, accepted the result of the gods' meeting and was exiled to the underworld after doing something wrong.

Although she is known as the Mistress of Heaven, in reality...

An inexplicable feeling of frustration spread within Ishtar, and her inability to resolve the issue only made her feel even more depressed.

Enki stood up at this time and smiled helplessly.

"Mama is just kidding you. We won't let you go on a mission where you're guaranteed to die."

"Eh?!"

Ishtar looked at Enki.

She knew that Enji would not lie.

The underworld will definitely come, so...

Ishtar guessed that the only help the gods could provide was to make her less miserable in the underworld?

but......

Ishtar couldn't think of anything that would make her feel less embarrassed in the underworld, on Ereshkigal's home turf.

Enki looked towards Enlil, as if waiting for Enlil's action.

"We will bless you and temporarily lend you our power. By gathering the power of the seven gods, you can protect yourself even in the underworld."

After being looked at by Enki, Enlil reluctantly took out a large crown and handed it to Ishtar.

"This is the symbol of kingship and will help you achieve victory."

The blessings seem to be prepared in order of the gods’ status.

Is this supposed to be a ritual necessity?

Ishtar couldn't understand it, but this large, magnificent crown was very much to her taste.

After taking it, Ishtar had already thought of ten thousand ways to not return the crown.

Then, Enki took out a lapis lazuli staff and handed it to Ishtar.

"The scepter of wisdom will inspire you to complete the challenge."

"Precious dye will enhance your charm and make people like you."

Anu did not give any powerful props, only a dye that can increase people's affinity.

He thought that this way Ereshkigal would not want to kill Ishtar as soon as they met, right?

Nanna said nothing, but took out a crescent-shaped necklace.

"The necklace condensed from moonlight will protect you when you face danger."

"The golden ring condensed from sunlight will protect you from the rules of the underworld."

Wutu took out the golden ring, and the light emanating from it showed the divine power that its owner had generously infused into it.

"Add your original gauze dress..."

At this time, Mama was no longer angry about Ishtar's "outrageous words", but took out a belt with a smile.

"Also, this jeweled belt can fly out at a critical moment and restrain the opponent for a short period of time."

Feeling the preciousness and magnificence of these treasures, Ishtar's heart almost jumped out of her chest with the desire to possess them all for herself.

not to mention......

Ishtar also felt the blessings of the gods, which gave her some confidence.

"Don't worry! With these things, I will definitely bring Lugalbanda out of the underworld!!!"

Ishtar is full of confidence!

Anu couldn't help but worry as he watched Ishtar put away the treasures and leave on the sky boat Maana.

"Will you win?"

"It will win."

Enki was very sure and he had faith in the treasures of the gods.
