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

The main reasons are the subtle dissatisfaction from the planet's restraining force and the warnings from human restraining force.

The restraining force is an invisible vortex of power.

But each of them aims to prolong the present world, appearing at the moment when a key factor that destroys the world occurs and erasing it.

Because it is unconscious, even if it happens it will not be noticeable and no one will be aware of it.

Enlil noticed this and withdrew.

And Enlil was not the only one who realized this.

Anu, who was replaced by Enlil as the supreme god in the course of time, as well as Enki, and Marduk, who would replace Enlil as the supreme god in the future, all realized this.

Everyone knew what had happened and the possible consequences, so they became even more dissatisfied with Enlil, who already had a bad temper.

After all, this is not without precedent.

The goddess Tiamat doted on her child too much, allowing the child to "grow up" simply without leaving the arms of the "mother".

But in such a world, the future is a stagnant pool, and all life will drown in the arms of the "mother".

Then, under the influence of invisible forces, the gods rebelled, and Tiamat was sent to the imaginary space, never to be able to "return".

At this moment, Ishtar's bad thoughts became even more serious.

"that......"

Ishtar, who still didn't understand, was already a little frightened.

But in order to avoid a quarrel and obtain more information, Ishtar reluctantly spoke, pretending to be calm.

"What kind of plan are you talking about?"

"Ishtar, you are one of the Seven Gods and should know about this plan. However, you were still in confinement at the time, so we didn't tell you."

Mama wanted to ease the atmosphere, so she took the opportunity of Ishtar's question to sit next to her and talk.

"In order to repair the relationship between humans and gods, the gods have decided to create the Heavenly Wedge, no matter the cost, to connect gods and humans. And this is perhaps their only chance, right?"

Wedge is a tool that fills the ends to make them firm.

This concept arose in Ishtar's mind, and her face gradually turned pale.

Done! ! !

Big trouble!

Ishtar screamed internally.

13. Long-term planning

Haha, no, it can't be such a coincidence...

Ishtar's throat moved, but she didn't speak, remaining calm on the surface.

At this time, after briefly introducing the plan, Mama cast an admiring look at Ishtar.

"Ishtar, during your confinement, you were upset and didn't want to talk to us. And as soon as your confinement ended, you immediately rushed out of heaven. We didn't have time to tell you about this. When we heard you were going to Uruk, we were a little worried, thinking you would fail this time. But we didn't expect..."

"Ah ha ha!"

In a nervous mood, Ishtar was rarely modest.

"It's not that good."

"Speaking of which..." After perfunctorily accepting Mama's praise, Ishtar probed again. "Is the new king of Uruk the Wedge of Heaven that you created?"

"Yes."

The one who answered was Utu, who had been keeping a stern face, but his expression softened after Ishtar said she had done nothing wrong.

Yes?

Ishtar was already thinking about how to escape.

This matter is too serious, and solitary confinement may not be the solution.

It would be terrible if she was exiled to the imaginary space like her "mother".

Even if it wasn't so serious, I'm afraid the punishment wouldn't be pleasant.

Where can I run to?

"Not at all."

Just when Ishtar was worried, Utu turned around and spoke.

Ishtar breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Utu in dissatisfaction.

"Can't you just finish what you're saying at once?"

Also, what is and is not?

She doesn't understand.

Wutu was a little puzzled. Ishtar had been unusually humble and calm just now, so why did she suddenly become so tough again?

But he didn't care too much and answered the questions patiently.

"Before creating the true Wedge of Heaven, the gods experimented with the concept of a wedge connecting humans and gods, creating a demigod. They named him Lugalbanda, meaning young king."

"But unfortunately..."

Having said that, Wutu frowned and sighed.

"He wasn't a qualified wedge. His role as the wedge connecting humans and gods was only recognized by the gods, not by humans. So, we gave him up, leaving him to fend for himself on earth."

what the hell!

Ishtar completely relaxed.

So that's it?

That guy turned out to be just a failed experiment.

It seems that the matter is not that serious.

I'll ask Nanna or Mama to help me get him out of the underworld. That shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Enji's anger seems to have subsided, so I should be able to ask Enji for help.

but......

Can they really rescue people from the underworld?

Ishtar hesitated.

Just as she was thinking, she heard another laugh.

Mama took Ishtar's hand and smiled, "Are you confused? If it's just a failure, then why are we so worried about your relationship with Uruk?"

It's a bit confusing indeed.

Even Ishtar came to her senses at this point and realized that things were not as simple as she had thought.

That guy doesn't seem to be a simple failure.

"That would involve another plan."

Enki, who had calmed down after the conflict with Enlil, took over Mama's words and spoke with a smile.

"A few years after we abandoned him, we came to another conclusion. Since the Heavenly Wedge connecting humans and gods can't be recognized only by gods, then it would be better for Lugalbanda to be recognized by humans."

It's the same as not saying anything...

Ishtar didn't say this out loud, but she still hesitated and said, "So you plan to let that person..."

"No! It's just that, during your confinement, a great event occurred. Anzu, took the Tablets of Destiny from Enlil's hands."

Enki did not keep anyone in suspense, and seemed to apologize for his meaningless words just now. He laid out the plan in detail.

"We originally wanted to send someone to retrieve it, but were surprised to discover that the Tablet of Destiny seemed to have some reaction to Lugalbanda. This suggests that in the future, Lugalbanda is destined to become [the king of mankind]."

"So, we let Anzu go. During this time, the gods will create an opportunity for Lugalbanda to defeat Anzu, obtain the Tablet of Destiny from Anzu, and transfer the royal power to Uruk, to him."

Anzu is a giant evil bird recorded in Babylonian legend. It is said to have the head of a lion and the body of a vulture.

It harbored the evil idea of ​​becoming the king of the gods, so it stole all of Enlil's clay tablets while Enlil was bathing.

The Tablet of Destiny symbolizes the "ultimate royal power to rule the world and the gods."

"Because we abandoned Lugalbanda, he has been raised in the human world since he was a child. We are not sure whether this Lugalbanda can lead mankind back to the embrace of the gods."

This god, who has the kindest character, seemed a little apologetic about this.

"Therefore, when Lugalbanda becomes the king of mankind, holding the [royal power], we will choose a goddess to marry him. At that time, the child born from Lugalbanda and the goddess will be given to us gods to raise. This child will be the true [Wedge of Heaven]! We have calculated that the time is just right!"

Understood.

A child with the blood of gods and humans flowing in his body will definitely be close to the gods if he is raised by the gods from a young age.

As the child of Lugalbanda, this child who is close to the gods will definitely inherit Lugalbanda's identity as the "King of Humanity".

In this way, the child is the undeniable "heavenly wedge" connecting God and man.

Very good plan, long-term layout.

only......

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Ishtar's forehead and slid down her flawless face.

The legs under the table were trembling slightly, and the nails dotted with tiny gemstones dug deep into the palms.

On the surface, she habitually raised her chin proudly, but in subtle details, her eyelashes trembled like a frightened bird.

How to do?

Lugalbanda seemed to have fallen into the underworld.

Later, find a reason and run away.

This seems a bit too big.

After Enlil summoned the great flood that destroyed the world, the relationship between humans and gods gradually became distant.

According to what Enki just said, Ishtar estimated that they might not be able to find a suitable candidate like Lugalbanda in a short time.

After all, the king himself will choose.

It is really difficult to create a king who can transfer royal power, gain the favor of heaven, and be recognized by mankind.

The only thing the gods knew about royal power was that the Tablet of Destiny was "the ultimate royal power to rule the world and the main god."

This is the rare treasure that was taken away by the strange bird Anzu.

The gods were in no hurry to take it back, even though it was not something the monster bird should touch.

Because, even if someone who is not qualified touches it, the royal power will not respond.

------------------------

The Destiny Clay Tablet does exist. See the picture for details.

But there is no detailed description of the power of the Destiny Tablet in FGO.

14. Ishtar!

Even if someone who is not qualified touches it, the royal power will not respond.

Ishtar was well aware of this, and she was also very surprised that Lugalbanda received a response from the king.

You know, the position of the king of gods is also a transfer of royal power.

In some myths, the transfer of the position of the king of gods is often accompanied by bloodshed, or even patricide by son.

But in Sumerian mythology, the transfer of the king of gods was the choice of the Destiny Tablet.

They did not seize the throne, but the throne chose them.

This is also the reason why the gods want Russell to obtain the Tablet of Destiny. After Russell obtains the [royal power], he is destined to be the king of mankind.
