The most merciful Enki sighed at this moment.

"Our plan is to take that child to heaven to raise. Ereshkigal... We've already wronged her, so are we going to take her child away from us in the future?"

Nanna didn't say anything.

I don’t know if it’s because Enki and Utu have already said everything I wanted to say.

Enlil said with discontent, "Meaningless mercy."

But he ultimately didn't agree. After all, he felt threatened by the large number of Nanna's followers.

How could it be possible for the king of the human world who had obtained the royal power to unite with the king of the underworld?

In short, the gods all felt that Ereshkigal was not a suitable candidate.

Ishtar thought about the scene of Ereshkigal's child being taken away, and for some reason, she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

She sighed and finally gave up her revenge plan.

Ereshkigal, this time...

But she is a great person and does not bear grudges.

If Ereshkigal knew this, she would probably thank me, the goddess, right?

It should be...

40. No one would like a married woman, right?

The meeting of the gods is still going on.

Seeing Ishtar's gloomy face, Anu thought that Ishtar was depressed because she was going to be put in solitary confinement.

After all, he was the father god who loved Ishtar the most, so he sighed and comforted her.

"Don't worry about being bored during confinement, Ishtar. Haven't you always wanted the strongest divine beast as a pet? This time, the Bull of Heaven will be your playmate during confinement."

Gugalan has thick muscles, so even if the imprisoned Ishtar beats him up a few times because she is depressed, he will be fine.

With this in mind, Anu planned to lend the most powerful divine beast, the Bull of Heaven, to Ishtar.

Ishtar's face lit up with joy.

Any unexpected surprises?

Originally, she had accepted her fate and was worried about how to pass the time during confinement.

She didn't expect that just because she was thinking about Ereshkigal just now, there would be such an unexpected compensation?

What if she pretends again?

Ishtar's expression suddenly turned sad, tears welled up in her eyes once again, and her tone was filled with tears.

"So what if I'm the strongest divine beast? When I was confined, I lost my freedom and happiness. Who can soothe the loneliness and pain I'm in?"

Give me more.

This is what Ishtar implies, and there should be more compensation like the Bull of Heaven.

But the gods had been fooled by Ishtar several times in the past, so how could they be fooled again? They ignored Ishtar's worthless tears and continued to discuss.

Seeing that there was no reaction to her pretending to be miserable, Ishtar's expression changed at the speed of light, but she still muttered happily.

"Gugalana...Gugalana..."

I am completely immersed in the dream of getting the strongest bull and being able to do whatever I want again.

That's fine.

Anu sighed and stopped paying attention to Ishtar.

"Tell me, who is willing to bring back Lugalbanda who has fallen into the underworld?"

The gods looked at each other in silence.

Enlil sneered and said, "Forget it. I'll go."

Enji couldn't help but frown.

He believed that Enlil had the ability to bring people out of the underworld.

However, Enlil's methods were too brutal.

If Enlil were really allowed to go, the underworld would probably suffer countless damages, and the human world might also be affected.

If Ereshkigal becomes enraged by this, even if he cannot do anything to Enlil, if he opens the gates to the underworld and releases the dead into the world of the living...

I have a headache.

Enki frowned and tried to persuade Enlil, who seemed to be getting excited.

However, before he could say anything, Wutu said with a serious expression.

"no need."

Enlil frowned and looked at Utu, his eyes gleaming, as if waiting for a suitable explanation.

Wutu sighed and frowned.

"The believers of Uruk prayed to me, and I learned that Lugalbanda had returned from the underworld."

"What!?"

Wutu knew the gods' confusion, but he had more important news to share.

"And he brought Ereshkigal out of the underworld."

"It's so true!"

Enlil's brows were raised, and his already hot temper was perfectly displayed at this moment.

"Does the Queen of the Underworld want to lay her hands on both the earth and the sky?!"

Enki could not help but look at Enlil speechlessly.

He knew that Enlil did not care at all about the impact that Ereshkigal's departure from the underworld would have on the underworld being ownerless.

The first thing Enlil considered was whether his authority, power, and position were threatened.

It is really......

Don't you think about how many years Ereshkigal has been doing his job?

If you really have ambition, you would have been prepared long ago.

Why wait until now?

Enki originally thought so, but Utu's words shocked him.

"It is said that Ereshkigal may become the queen of Uruk, and thus the wife of Lugalbanda."

"What!?"

Enji couldn't help but stand up.

Enlil calmed down at this time, but he smiled, like the oppression before a volcanic eruption and the calm before a storm.

"She really wants to."

"No!"

Sensing the murderous intent that flashed across Enlil's eyes, Nanna, who had experienced similar things, stood up at this time.

In the past, Enlil had displayed this calm look.

Then he ruthlessly massacred most of his followers.

Or even...

A flash of pain appeared in Nanna's eyes.

Since then, he has become the mysterious Old Man of the Moon and does not actively recruit followers.

This kind of thing must not happen again.

Nanna did not attempt to clarify whether Ereshkigal's ambitions were true or false.

Because he knew that Enlil didn't care whether these were true or not. If he did, he wouldn't have treated him like that.

However, Nanna still expressed his guess first.

"Ereshkigal couldn't possibly know that Lugalbanda would eventually obtain the Kingship. It would be excessive speculation to conclude that she harbored ambitions to control the world."

He told his guess slowly, his tone as gentle as moonlight, unconsciously calming people's irritable mood.

"I think that feelings have indeed developed between Ereshkigal and Lugalbanda, who endured years of loneliness in the underworld."

The gods' solemn mood did not ease because of this.

After all, developing feelings may lead to worse consequences.

If Lugalbanda and Ereshkigal were really allowed to be together, then their future children, who were deeply attached to each other, would definitely be fully protected.

By then, even if there is no such ambition, it must be there.

As for the possibility of explaining the plan to Ereshkigal and getting her to cooperate...

The gods had never thought about this. After all, they hadn't been in contact for so many years, and now they wanted people to cooperate and hand over their children?

It's simply impossible.

Nanna naturally knew that this would not dispel the ideas of the gods, mainly Enlil.

But it doesn’t matter. Although truth and falsehood are not important to Enlil, and speculation is not important, the solution is important.

Nanna lowered his head and spoke slowly.

"Lugalbanda has only been in the underworld for three days, so his feelings for Ereshkigal may not be that deep. We just need to choose a goddess that Lugalbanda can fall in love with and conclude a marriage contract."

"But what goddess can rival the Mistress of the Underworld? And what goddess doesn't fear the Mistress of the Underworld?"

Mama asked somewhat puzzled.

It can't be her, right?

But she is already a wife!

Is there anyone in this world who likes someone else's wife and even wants to marry her?

But ordinary goddesses could never compare to Ereshkigal, not only in beauty but also in status, and they were even more afraid of being retaliated against.

Just think about it, if you say to a goddess, "You go and steal a man from the mistress of the underworld," she will definitely be scared and run away.

Enlil wanted to say something like, "You are afraid of revenge from the mistress of the underworld, but aren't you afraid of revenge from me?"

Nanna didn't give him the chance, but looked at Ishtar.

"There are goddesses who are equal in status to the mistress of the underworld, equally beautiful, and even more popular than the mistress of the underworld..."

The gods followed Nanna's gaze and gradually gained an understanding.

"Ishtar?"

41. People will always go to heaven

Who is the goddess who has the same status as the mistress of the underworld, is as beautiful as her, and is more popular than her?

If you ask the gods such questions, you will probably get the same answer.

"Eh? It's Ishtar, right?"

"It depends on the situation, but it should be Ishtar, right? That's just my personal opinion."

"Isn't it Ishtar? If you take your personality into account, it becomes something else entirely."

"Someone besides me and the goddess Tiamat."

The final answer is what Mama will answer.

In short, the answers are all roughly the same, pointing to Ishtar.

Faced with Nanna's hidden meaning, the gods looked at each other in confusion.

Anu looked at Ishtar who was immersed in her dream and felt a little embarrassed.
