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

Russell frowned and didn't continue Nanna's words.

Nanna's tone remained grave. "Marduk, the next God-King, eldest son of Enki, immortal son of Utu, destined to defeat Enlil. Your body is made of Enki's blood mixed with divine blood, and your life is fueled by Utu's divine power. If we were to measure the proportion of divine power in your body that belongs to Enki and Utu, I'm afraid no other god could compare to you."

So, do I really deserve the titles of Enki's eldest son and Utu's immortal son?

Russell's mouth curled up slightly. At this moment, he thought of a lot.

The oldest heroic king.

In the Bible, there is such a king.

His name is Nimrod.

The legendary ruler of the world in human history, known as the world's greatest hero.

In order to touch the realm of God, he called on mankind to build the Tower of Babel.

The name "Babel" means chaos.

A famous rebel whose identity is speculated to be related to Enmerkar, but he is compared to Gilgamesh in the epic, suggesting a connection between the two.

What I had read in my previous life reappeared in my mind.

Some say that after his death, Nimrod was deified by the priest class as "Marduk", the guardian of the city of Babylon.

Theocracy and royal power are bound together, which is a common occurrence at times like this.

But it made Russell feel a strange feeling in his heart.

Really are......

The first trial was chosen here. Was it a consideration or a choice of fate?

Only one thing remains unchanged.

He is destined to go to heaven.

Seeing Russell's silence, Nanna felt a little nervous deep down, and said in a heavy tone.

"He seduced my mother and banished her to wander the earth. Fearing that I would threaten his throne, he personally murdered many of my followers and destroyed my city."

As he spoke, Nanna's eyes couldn't help but become moist.

"After my child was born, the title of Triple Star God caught his attention. The unique characteristics of my daughters, the Mistress of Heaven and the Mistress of Earth, also made him wary."

"So, under his pressure, the gods held a meeting and exiled Ereshkigal to Kur."

Kur, in cuneiform, means "mountain", and Sumer itself was called "Kurgale", which means "great land".

Later it was extended to mean the underworld.

But when "Kul" refers to the underworld, it means "the place of no return."

The trio of stars refers to the moon, sun, and Venus.

However, was it true that the goddess Ninlil was exiled by Enlil and wandered on the earth?

Russell suddenly remembered a record.

During the reign of Gilgamesh, he and his son rebuilt the temple of the goddess Ninlil.

Could it be because of this?

Wutu, who was just by nature and could not tolerate even a trace of evil, could not help but clench his fists at this moment.

"now......"

Nanna looked at Russell and said solemnly.

"Because Ereshkigal wanted to marry you, that guy is trying to do something again. Because of my cowardice, the city was destroyed, the believers were killed, and my daughter was exiled. This time, I will not tolerate it again."

"I will help you, help my sister, father!"

Wutu stepped forward and said solemnly.

Nanna shook his head, looked at Russell, and said softly, "I say this not to express my pain or to complain about injustice. I simply want to make it clear that you can trust me completely in your fight against Enlil."

Is it related to Ereshkigal?

Also, if someone is forced from being a benevolent and joyful god to become a forbearing and mysterious old man, his followers who trust him will be killed, his mother will be forced into exile, and his daughter will be forced into exile.

I guess they can't bear it anymore.

After thinking about it, Russell only asked the last question.

"If I choose the first path, or if I don't agree to your request, are you prepared for how to deal with Enlil?"

"..."

Russell received only silence in response.

Nanna seemed to be thinking, but then felt that since things had come to this point, he might as well make it clear.

"I am the Old Man of the Moon, in charge of the moon, dreams, and the balance of life and death."

Nanna cruises the night sky in a small boat every night and cruises into the underworld during the day, walking on the boundary between life and death.

He glanced at Wutu subconsciously, then looked away and spoke softly.

"On the moon, there exists a white giant who is responsible for the destruction of everything. If this fails, I will lead the giant into my dreams."

------

p. The statement that Nimrod was named Marduk after his death comes from "Know Your Enemies".

In this book, Nimrod's wife is Semiramis, who was also named the goddess of love Astarte after her death.

Then he said that names like Enki, Apsu, and Nabu all reflected different personalities of Marduk.

The tone is consistent with what the novel wants to write, but don't take it as completely accurate historical record...

57. Which of my daughters do you like?

Directly bring aliens into the earth?

Good man, you really hate Enlil.

Russell looked at Nanna in surprise.

Then he asked, "So, what do you want me to do?"

"Whoever picks up this axe will be the king of the gods."

Nanna stood up from his seat and drew out a strangely shaped hand axe.

"Enki has acquiesced, and Anu will not object. Ishtar, myself, Mama, and Utu will all support it. This is a joint decision of the Seven Gods, excluding Enlil."

The remaining few people should be the result of Nanna's lobbying.

As for Enki...

This benevolent god who would only take away the weapons of both sides and stop the fight when people were fighting, probably had no other way to deal with Enlil and therefore acquiesced, right?

As a result, my future as the only supreme and benevolent God to defeat Enlil, the number one evil god, is already doomed!

only......

"Can a mortal body withstand the power of the gods and become a god-king?"

Russell saw the hidden danger and pointed it out directly without any hesitation.

"When I take up this axe and strike Enlil, I am afraid my body will be torn into pieces."

"The sun sets every day, but the next day..."

Without responding to Russell's doubts, or perhaps having already responded to Russell's doubts, Nanna said this meaningful sentence.

"The sun still rises."

"Nergal?"

Russell touched his heart, thinking.

"You possess the power of the sun and are subtly blessed by the underworld. Once your body is shattered, you will be drawn into the underworld and become the husband of Ereshkigal, the King of Hell."

Nanna nodded and explained.

"Give birth to three underworld gods there. Ten thousand years from now, the sun will rise again from the underworld and return to the living world. Then, in terms of both power and status, you will be the true king of the gods."

Legend has it that after Enlil was exiled to the underworld by the gods, he could only return after giving birth to three underworld gods.

Nanna is one of them, which also symbolizes the loss and recovery of the moon, that is, when it is a new moon, the moon will briefly appear in the disappearing phase.

new moon......

C moon......

However, this does not apply to him.

a thousand years?

If the future is destined to be like this, then the trial will end at the moment it ends, right?

Russell was silent for a moment, then said softly, “Now, I can’t pick it up.”

"Is it because of Uruk?"

Wutu exclaimed in admiration that Russell's answer seemed crystal clear.

"I already know about your deeds in Uruk. You are truly a wise king who cares deeply about his people."

"There are reasons for this."

Russell acknowledged this and euphemistically suggested there were other reasons.

"Could it be..." Nanna was stunned and asked. "The person you like is not Ereshkigal?"

"..."

Russell remained silent.

Nanna frowned and sighed, "This is difficult. Could it be that the one you like is Ishtar?"

"..."

Russell lowered his head and remained silent.

Nanna's expression became confused and he asked blankly.

"Marduk, who do you prefer, Ishtar or Ereshkigal?"

"Ereshkigal..."

Russell didn't look up, but just said softly.

Nanna breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "Fortunately, I thought I forced you..."

Before he could finish his words, Russell's unfinished words came over.

"And Ishtar."

"I like two people at the same time!"

The elegant and wise old man was puffing his beard and glaring at this moment.

For a moment, the old man of the moon wanted to pull the white giant over and fight with this world that was full of malice towards him.

But in the end, he just sighed.

"If you can make them all happy... No, I still can't bear it."

Nanna pointed to the temple gate, and the elegant image was gone.

"When you are willing to lift this hand axe, come see me again!"

"What if it's a wedding..."

"go out!"

Under Wutu's strange gaze, Russell was illuminated by the moon, and his figure was teleported away like the tide.

Wutu looked in the direction where Russell disappeared and asked again.

"Father, if you care about Ishtar and Ereshkigal as much as Ishtar, why didn't you explain it to her when you were touring the underworld?"

Utu knew that Ereshkigal had harbored resentment towards Nanna’s indifference over the years.
