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

"With these blessings, Ereshkigal will not be able to leave Ishtar behind even in the underworld."

"Unless Ishtar is foolish enough to be tricked into cooperating in taking these treasures."

Speaking of this, Mama couldn't help but smile.

"How could this be possible? Ishtar wouldn't be so stupid, right?"

19. The advantage lies in me

Seven magical artifacts...

And the power of the Mistress of Heaven!

Ishtar, who was driving the celestial ship Maana, couldn't help but feel proud.

That's it, how could she lose!

What's more, just think about it, Ereshkigal has been staying in the underworld for so long that his brain must have degenerated.

In terms of strategy and intelligence, she is definitely no match for me, a goddess who has been experiencing all kinds of things in the world, has rich experience, and has accumulated amazing wisdom.

For a moment, Ishtar felt that the advantage was hers.

After all, now her power is enough to compete with Ereshkigal in the underworld, and her wisdom is far superior.

I really can't think of any reason why I would lose!

After I defeat Ereshkigal through a duel of wits and courage, and then make her call me sister a few times in humiliation, I will take that Ereshkigal out of the underworld as well.

Ishtar felt satisfied just thinking about that scene.

what? !

You said that Ereshkigal is the older sister?

Please, my sister's status is only for the strong!

......

"This is where I work every day. Inside these cages are souls waiting for reincarnation."

Ereshkigal said, holding a spear and pointing at the countless cages on the desolate land.

"However, there are still many souls wandering in this wilderness. I haven't built enough gun traps yet."

Having said this, Ereshkigal blushed and lowered his head in shame.

After being taken to the underworld, Ereshkigal, despite his complaints, still took on his responsibilities and performed his duties diligently, but he did not perform his duties perfectly.

Especially, not being perfect in front of Russell.

This made her feel a little ashamed. In addition, there was really nothing to boast about in the underworld, and there was no work to talk about. Ereshkigal was at a loss for topics to talk about for a moment.

"I know."

Russell gave a very understanding smile, and there was even a hint of comfort in his eyes.

"Perhaps it's because the goddess Ereshkigal is too gentle? I've heard that many people who are vicious in the mortal world become even more unruly and difficult to discipline in the underworld."

Eh?

Ereshkigal was startled for a moment, then he raised his head, which had been lowered, and looked at Russell with sparkling eyes.

She is worthy of being the destined person, an existence that even the underworld has high hopes for. Can you find something to praise her for simply based on what she just said?

She couldn't even find it herself!

Russell didn't pause, but his tone changed, as if he was speaking up for Ereshkigal.

"Because the goddess Ereshkigal is too gentle, she has no way of disciplining those spirits, so she can only let them wander. She has been appearing in the form of a giant skeleton ghost, hoping to scare them with her terrifying appearance, right?"

"Eh... maybe... probably like this, Russell, you guessed it."

Ereshkigal lowered his head once again, feeling somewhat guilty.

The reason why her soul wanders in the wilderness is because she is too gentle?

Maybe......

That should be it...

It couldn't be that Enlil unleashed a flood that caused too many people to die in a short period of time, flooding the underworld with souls who had died unjustly, and then, because there were so few survivors in the human world, large-scale reincarnation was impossible.

Therefore, we can only build gun cages, but the number of souls is too large. Even if we work overtime, there are still a large number of souls that have nowhere to go and can only wander in the wilderness, right?

This shouldn't be the reason.

Maybe I was too gentle.

Ereshkigal repeatedly persuaded and hinted at himself in his heart, and although he was still very nervous, he still agreed.

The Galula spirit carrying Russell suddenly stopped.

The giant creature scratched its head and turned to look at Russell on its back.

The language of the Garula spirit is not the same as that of humans, but with the protection of the underworld, Russell easily understood the meaning of the Garula spirit from its eyes.

"Beloved by the underworld, is there something wrong with your eyes?"

"Can't you see that the souls in the cage trembled when Ereshkigal approached, and the souls wandering in the wilderness retreated when they saw Ereshkigal?"

But Russell pretended not to understand.

He frowned, a bewildered expression on his face, and looked at the Garula Spirit in confusion, wondering, "Why did you stop?"

"Ok?"

Ereshkigal, who was feeling guilty, looked over, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp.

Another Garula spirit who originally wanted to stop and communicate something with Russell, when he felt the dark divine power coming from above him, he was already trembling and lowering his head to play ostrich.

The Queen of the Underworld, who can command the Garula Spirit at will, can naturally also know what the Garula Spirit did and thought just now.

She didn't scold him, but just smiled and comforted him.

"What's wrong? Are you tired? Sorry, Mr. Russell, maybe these Garula spirits are too tired from their usual work."

"Not tired!"

The Garula spirit under Russell's seat suddenly showed vigorous vitality, and said the most sincere words in his life in the language of Garula spirit.

It's unbelievable that the creatures from the underworld actually show such a proud and energetic appearance.

However, these simple-minded creatures seemed to be displaying this attitude only because their lives might be threatened.

But there is no more remedial measure after making a mistake, saying something good about Ereshkigal.

Ereshkigal said softly without saying anything, "Don't force yourself."

"No need to force it!"

Galula Ling's answer was particularly firm.

This also made Russell sigh and say, "Goddess Ereshkigal is really gentle and considerate of her subordinates."

"How can you be so stupid, you who are blessed by the underworld!"

Instead of grieving over the tragedy he might encounter next, the Galula spirit lamented Russell's "stupid" behavior.

However, it did not say this.

Even just a flash in the mind.

Seeing that he had received praise from Russell again, Ereshkigal stopped "comforting" Galula Ling and said shyly.

"Next, please invite Mr. Russell to visit my palace."

The palace, that's her home...

Please ask Russell to come to my house and do it... sit down and watch...

This thought made Ereshkigal even more embarrassed.

but......

An inexplicable sadness surged into Ereshkigal's heart again.

Her palace didn't seem that magnificent either.

I read everyone’s posts and comments, and also read everyone’s opinions.

I have been urged to update more often. I should update more today, probably more than two. I am still coding some more.

temple.

The air was filled with a thick mist formed by ether, covering the entire temple and inspiring the original sense of sacredness.

Inside the temple, the flames flickered.

Amid the sound of devout prayers, a ray of sunlight shone into the temple from the window through the thick fog.

It shone upon the uneasy high priest who stood before a table made of holly, upon which were placed anointing oil, precious stones, and gold.

After receiving the oracle, Anhaiduyana walked out of the temple with a complicated expression.

In front of her were the eagerly waiting people of Uruk.

In this society where gods are strong and people are weak, the king of Uruk was cast into the underworld for angering the gods.

So......

The neighboring countries that are not very friendly are all watching us covetously.

An Haiduyana knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it would cause widespread panic.

But she was not affected by the urgency of the matter. Her tone of voice was very steady and calm, just like a lake without a single ripple.

"The gods were very dissatisfied with Ishtar's willfulness and demanded that she descend into the underworld and bring back our king."

"..."

After a strange period of calm, everyone could breathe easily.

"Great! The king has not lost the protection of the gods."

"But, I still angered the Lady of Heaven. This is not a good thing, right?"

"The temper of the Venus goddess..."

Listening to the random discussions blurted out by these people while relaxing, An Haiduana frowned.

Even though the gods punished the goddess Ishtar because of what happened to the king.

However, was the king's reputation in Uruk affected by this?

Too......

It is said that before the king was crowned, he had been wandering around somewhere unknown, as if he did not exist in the world.

No heroic deeds were reported, no great displays of military might were boasted of.

Until today, he has just ascended the throne.

Thinking of the young man who stood in front of the annoyed Ishtar because of her mistake, Anhaiduana became determined.

She wants to restore Russell's reputation.

"The king angered the goddess Ishtar, but not for himself, but for..."

After thinking about it, An Haiduana felt that telling the truth might not be so effective in restoring Russell's reputation.

As a writer, she improvised.

“For everyone!”

Everyone looked at each other.

"At that time, our king was distressed because everyone had written to him complaining that the goddess Ishtar was asking for too much. In the temple, he admonished the goddess Ishtar for this very reason, asking her to stop acting so recklessly. As a result, his harsh words landed him in the underworld!"
