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

But what happened today still made her angry.

The fact that the sacrifice was not satisfactory was one thing, but the new king of Uruk dared to let her wait here at this time.

If it weren't for Wutu's sake, she would have calmed down long ago.

Just as Ishtar was growing increasingly impatient, she saw a man appear in front of the temple door.

That is......

The new king of Uruk?

There is no need to elaborate on the eyesight of the gods. Even though the distance was blurry to ordinary people, Ishtar could still see Russell clearly standing in front of the temple.

A devilish smile played on her lips.

"Since you are so neglectful, I will treat you as a toy and play with you for a while, okay?"

Ishtar: -10 (Dissatisfied)

Your behavior of making her wait has already made the red demon of Venus unhappy. However, the degree of malice is not deep. After all, how much malice would you feel towards a small flower or grass on the roadside that you dislike?

The Lord doesn't care.

Looking at the evaluation displayed on the panel, Russell remembered this famous quote from The Three-Body Problem.

As expected, Ishtar, who hasn't been neutralized by Rin Tōsaka, is even more evil in character, right?

The main character is a free-spirited person who wants to live if he loves and wants to die if he hates.

He doesn't take people seriously at all, and just wants to treat them as toys and tease them because he is not happy with them.

but......

Russell's face plastered on an easy smile.

It’s great to have a free-spirited personality! It’s great to have a free-spirited personality!

If the god is upright and serious, or violent and cruel, he has little room to maneuver.

Being able to do whatever you want means having a lot of room for maneuver.

For a player like him, it is really a good choice.

......

ps. In the original myth, Ishtar was indeed the god of Arata, but although Arata was rich, it was located in a remote area, was not strong, and was not taken seriously.

Because of her ambition, Ishtar occupied Uruk, which was the center of Anu worship in the early days.

But what I wrote was Type-Moon fan fiction, the history of the moon, and the original mythology is very old, so many things are difficult to find, so I made some slight changes.

Utu is the god of the sun, justice and judgment, and the upholder of fairness and truth.

His legend is similar to that of many sun gods, in that he rides a chariot or a small boat to bring light from dawn to dusk.

Sumer had seven major gods, divided into four main gods and three heavenly gods.

Utu, the sun god, is one of the three great gods in heaven. One of the other two gods is Ishtar.

The other is Nannar, the moon god and the father of both the sun god and Ishtar.

There is very little description of Utu in the Sumerian mythology circulating today, and there are only descriptions of him in the Epic of Lugalbanda and the Epic of Gilgamesh.

The descriptions of Lugalbanda and the sun god Utu have been mentioned earlier. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh also tried his best to maintain his rule through the belief in the sun god Utu.

The "Axe of Marduk" that appeared in Absolute Warcraft Front. The god of war Marduk, in Sumerian, was spelled "AMAR.UTU", which literally means "the calf of Utu" or "the little bull of the sun".

I wrote this PS because I saw some questions in the comments and threads. I should write less in the future, or explain a little bit without affecting the viewing experience.

Also, this is a Type-Moon fanfiction, so some parts will definitely not follow the real mythology. There will definitely be some magical changes in the future, please forgive me...

7. Stop it, you'll die

Outside the door, a warm spring breeze seeped in as Russell came in, carrying with it the faint scent of cedar.

Anhaiduyana did not look back. She recognized the aura and knew that during the festival, the only person qualified to enter the temple and see the true face of the goddess was her and the king of Uruk.

Sure enough, Russell passed by her.

Anhaiduyana saw Russell with a sword hanging on his waist and his back straight as a pillar.

The sunlight fell on Russell's face, as if it was coated with a layer of divine glow.

It seems surprisingly reliable.

"king......"

Anhaiduyana wanted to speak up and build a bridge of communication between Russell and Ishtar.

However, her plan failed.

Ishtar naturally saw Russell as well.

"Are you the new king of Uruk?"

There were golden stars in her eyes, and she showed a rare expression of surprise.

The man before him had a look that was nothing short of godlike, and the radiance of his soul was also dazzling.

His soul is like...

Ishtar couldn't find the right words to describe it for a moment. She just felt like she saw a dazzling, golden shadow in a trance.

Looks like an egg?

[Ishtar Favorability +10]

[Ishtar: 0 (Normal)]

Your image has touched Ishtar's heart, calming her dislike for you. But that's all. As the goddess of beauty, Ishtar has seen a lot of beauty.

Is this possible?

Russell smiled unconsciously, feeling it was a pleasant surprise.

The morning breeze is comfortable and the sunshine is warm.

An Haiduana, who was secretly observing from the side, for some reason, felt much less uneasy the moment she saw Russell's smile.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be relaxing, she said, "Yes, Goddess Ishtar, this is..."

"I'm not asking you!"

Anhaiduana's voice was rudely interrupted by Ishtar.

She glanced at Anhaiduyana with dissatisfaction. Although this sacrificial work had always satisfied her in the past, she was still a little dissatisfied that her fun was now disturbed.

An Haiduyana didn't dare to say anything more and had to lower her head.

Russell glanced at Anhaiduyana, then raised his head, looked at Ishtar, and said softly, "Yes, Goddess Ishtar."

"You actually made me wait, do you know your crime?"

Ishtar's expression was smiling, but the words she spoke were so chilling that one felt as if they were falling into an icy cave.

When faced with such questions, Russell was not the first to respond.

It's still Anhaiduyana.

Cold sweat oozed from her forehead, and she said in panic, "Goddess Ishtar, please calm down. The king is... "

"I told you, I'm not asking you!"

Slender white fingers slid through the air, and a gem fell from Ishtar's fingertips.

At the moment of falling, countless golden particles appeared around the gem. Even an ordinary person could clearly see the ether ripples around the gem.

It was obvious that Ishtar was annoyed.

Russell understood why Ishtar was annoyed.

Even in modern times, teenager Wei would feel annoyed if his grandma said a few words to him while he was playing video games.

What's more, in the Age of Gods, there were goddesses who were as free as children and had almost no restrictions.

An Haiduyana was obviously aware of her situation.

She could clearly sense that the gem was aimed at herself.

The suffocating feeling of being entangled like a python overwhelmed Anhaiduyana at this moment.

She suddenly thought of her daughter who was still waiting for her at home and whom she had not even had time to name.

Previously, because of her diligent performance of her duties, Ishtar, who was in charge of childbirth, had given her this daughter with her power.

She thought that from now on, she would be able to speak to Ishtar, or in other words, be able to advise Ishtar.

did not expect......

In the presence of God, man is truly...

Anhaiduyana lowered her head in despair, waiting for the goddess' punishment.

"interesting."

Ishtar was surprised to find that Russell strolled up to Anhaiduyana and looked at her seriously.

What is this boy going to do?

"You want to protect her?"

When she heard this question, Anhaiduyana raised her head, widened her eyes, and looked at Russell's back in disbelief.

She really wanted to ask why, but for a moment, she was speechless.

Fortunately, Ishtar expressed this question for her: "Why?"

Without answering Ishtar's question, Russell simply turned his head and spoke softly to Anhaiduyana.

"You should leave first."

"what?"

From Ishtar's side, there were voices of doubt and dissatisfaction.

Her meaning was already obvious.

In Anhaiduyana's opinion, what Ishtar wanted to express was that she would not be allowed to leave.

But for some reason, at this moment, although he was a priest of the gods, he obeyed the orders of the human king.

Anhaiduyana walked out of the temple with uneasiness.

Behind her, Anhaiduyana, an excellent priestess, could feel the ether fluctuations in the air becoming more and more intense.

"Stop it."

Russell placed one hand on his sword and looked at Ishtar with a serious expression.

"He's going to die."

"what?"

Ishtar uttered the interjection that the goddess often uttered unconsciously when she was dissatisfied, frowned, and stared into Russell's eyes.

But I found that there was not even a trace of fear of death in Russell's eyes.

There is not even any fear of God.

Did he think he wouldn't die?!

Is he relying on Wutu's protection? Or does he have some hidden weapon?

Ishtar looked at the sword Russell was holding. From the perspective of a god, she really couldn't find any possibility that he could threaten her.

However, even if there were, Ishtar would not be afraid.

After all, she is a goddess who can ravage the sacred peak revered by all gods just because she is unhappy for a moment!

"you say......"

The cold tone makes people feel cold.

But on the contrary, Ishtar raised the corners of her mouth mischievously and pointed her finger at Russell.

"Who will die?"
