[Simulated Identity: God of Light → God of Death.]

[Possessing Powers: To be omitted...]

Main Quest: In Progress...

Side Quest: Mother's Dream - Completed.

[Reward obtained: Blessing of the Sea - EX.]

[You possess a strong bond with Tiamat, the Mother of Creation. As a son of man, though you are from afar, you have shown her through your actions that it is only natural for a child to be with their mother.]

[Effect: After activating the above skills, the ocean will unconditionally provide you with assistance, including unlimited magic power, enhanced divinity, purification, etc. Anything within the ocean's divinity will become your aid.]

[Note: This simulation advises the host to use this skill with caution, as it involves the authority of other deities. To avoid conflict with other deities, it is recommended to use it only when absolutely necessary.]

"A blessing from the sea? What a wonderful gift!"

Li Lin looked at the introduction on the system panel and nodded, slightly lost in thought.

In fact, Li Lin had already guessed something from Tiamat's last words to him.

Even so, he was still somewhat surprised by the power of this divinity.

The reason is simple: just look at the last sentence of the system introduction – it's an extremely buggy system.

After all, what does it mean that "anything within the divine essence of the ocean will become your aid"?

According to Li Lin, there are far too many feasible examples to list them.

For example, his former boss, the sun god Utu.

Generally speaking, the divinity of the sun is a power that has nothing to do with the sea.

But is that really the case when we trace things back to their origins?

If you're referring to the power of stars, then you're absolutely right.

Conversely, in human society—no, in the concept of all life on Earth—the sun has always been a phenomenon of rising in the east and setting in the west.

Rising above the horizon of the ocean and setting behind the distant mountains, the sun eventually forms a cyclical phenomenon.

Therefore, the system's final warning was actually a very useful reminder for Li Lin.

This effectively prevented others from knowing that he had secretly gone to contact Tiamat.

The male protagonist will use this skill at the end. Don't worry. Chapter 12, Flying Ishtar Sugar makes her debut (*oω?*)??

"Oh dear, I have such a powerful treasure, but I can't use it at will. This damn system really knows how to mess with me."

Li Lin rubbed his somewhat disheveled hair and muttered to himself.

"Never mind, the main task of this simulation is to absorb the power of original sin and, incidentally, to win over the goddess and experience the sweet taste of love. As for the strength of the power, that's secondary."

Li Lin stood up from the stone pier.

He donned the black cloak again, making himself look even more like the Grim Reaper.

He then turned around, sensed the surroundings, and continued walking deeper into the cedar forest.

Li Lin's purpose this time was to deal with a wicked dragon in the northern cedar forest that, despite being dead, still refused to leave the human world.

As dragons, though at the top of the food chain, as gods who govern dragons, snakes, and death, Ereshkigal clearly crossed a line with this evil dragon that resisted going to the underworld.

Therefore, as Ai Lei's most loyal subordinate, Li Lin naturally became the professional henchman to handle this matter.

Through his ability to sense the aura of death, Li Lin quickly located the target hidden deep within the cedar forest.

Li Lin has no habit of wasting words when it comes to this.

He took a heavy step forward.

As the dark ripples spread out, the place that was originally illuminated by the sun was instantly stained with a thick black!

"The power of the underworld unfolds."

"In the name of the goddess Ereshkigal, I summon you! Hounds of the underworld, tear apart the enemy before you!"

Li Lin gave the order.

The ground, which had already turned into a black tide, immediately began to tremble violently.

The next moment, a huge head leaped out, its pitch-black maw and countless sharp fangs snapping down fiercely, swallowing the monstrous dragon whole in an instant before it could even put up a proper fight.

"It's done."

Li Lin patted non-existent dust off his hands, looking quite pleased with himself.

"Although it is a dragon, it has ultimately become an inanimate object."

"And as long as a being belongs to the category of the dead, it is absolutely impossible for Sumer to resist the judgment of the underworld."

"After all, what's that saying again? Oh right, restraint is paramount, and special attacks are like the work of a god."

"As soon as the instant-death special attack is released, all the trash will have to kneel down."

Li Lin turned around, and the black tide beneath his feet instantly receded. Then he strolled away from the place.

.....

Walking along the tree-lined path, Li Lin wondered if he should stay on the ground a little longer.

Anyway, he's on official business this time, so if he's just slacking off, Irene probably won't say anything to him, right? Probably?

"Hmm? What's the sound?"

Suddenly, Li Lin stopped and turned to look in one direction.

Where did he hear a woman's voice calling for help?

But how is this possible?

Keep in mind that this is deep within a cedar forest.

It's a place where monsters roam freely, and even undead creatures like the one we just saw exist.

"interesting."

"Is that a bewitching voice emanating from some demonic creature? Or is someone truly trapped somewhere?"

Li Linmo rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and then decided to go and take a look.

Anyway, taking another look won't cause an explosion, and getting any closer won't melt you, so what's there to be afraid of?

After all, with his current strength, unless his power reaches the level of a divine beast, there really isn't any monster that can threaten him.

With that thought in mind, Li Lin no longer hesitated and walked straight toward the direction from which the sound came.

My footsteps tread over the dry, cracked branches.

Before long, as the tall grass was parted, he could see the figure in front of him making faint cries for help.

In the open space ahead, a person was hanging from a huge tree.

No, to be precise, it was a naked blonde goddess hanging there.

The other person was naked, with their hands hanging high above their head by branches.

A pair of long, beautiful legs occasionally struggled, and the swaying scenery revealed a glimpse of spring. The smooth, pink skin reflected a pink glow under the sunlight.

When Li Lin saw the man's lips twitch, he immediately wanted to back away and run away.

Damn it, why am I having such bad luck today? I just went out and ran into this jinx!

Just as Li Lin was expressionless and about to quickly retract the step he had already taken, the blonde goddess opposite him seemed to sense something, and immediately raised her head to look over.

"help me!"

Upon seeing Li Lin, the blonde goddess's previously lifeless eyes immediately lit up, and she cried out for help as if she had grasped a lifeline.

Li Lin: "........."

Li Lin felt like he was about to die of speechlessness.

He now neither wants to move forward nor can he back down.

He didn't want to go forward because he didn't want to have anything to do with the goddess in front of him anymore.

He couldn't back down because, given the goddess's temper, if he really abandoned her and ran away, she would definitely cause him endless trouble and take revenge afterward.

"Tsk, whatever, she probably won't recognize me now anyway."

"My divinity is now covered by dense death energy, so this guy probably won't associate me with me anymore."

In the end, after careful consideration, Li Lin decided to put down the blonde goddess in front of him.

A few minutes later.

After laying a simple layer of straw under the big tree, Li Lin looked at the extremely weak goddess in front of him and asked.

"I'm really curious, why is our great goddess Ishtar hanging here?"

"Logically speaking, no one in the entire Sumerian pantheon would dare to do something like this to you, right?"

"Hmm~".

Upon hearing this, a clear look of dejection appeared on Ishtar's face.

She sat on the haystack with her legs in a duck-like position.

Her pitiful appearance seemed oblivious to the hidden sarcasm in Li Lin's words as she spoke.

"This is actually a long story."

"As a deity, you should know that my husband ran away the night before our wedding."

Ishtar's golden hair fell from her chest.

She lowered her head slightly, her expression a mix of melancholy and resentment.

It was clearly a family scandal, but for some reason, she began to speak in a self-deprecating tone.

"So I searched almost the entire Mesopotamian plain to find him, but he was like a dead man; I couldn't find a single hair on his head!"

At this point, Ishtar couldn't help but let out a sob, looking extremely pitiful.

Li Lin's lips twitched at this, and he couldn't help but complain.

"So, this is why you secretly infiltrated the [Treasury of the Gods], intending to steal the treasure within that possesses a special detection function?"

"Hey, um... you know?"

"Nonsense, the key to the treasure trove of the gods—the golden city—is located in the deepest part of this cedar forest. How could I not know that?"

Li Lin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

She was even more speechless at the useless goddess in front of her who started acting cute as soon as her intentions were exposed.

Chapter 13, The Flying Goddess! Come here, Mugwort!

"Can you call it stealing when it comes to a goddess?"

Ishtar complained.

"I was just borrowing it, it's not like I'm not going to return it, why are you saying that about me?"

"Ha, 'Can I borrow this'? Do you even believe that yourself?"

Li Lin chuckled and retorted.

"Of course... um."

Ishtar originally wanted to say, "Of course I believe you," but she swallowed the words back down.

Indeed, only you truly understand yourself.

Although she really didn't want to admit that Li Lin said she was a thief.

But if she actually succeeds, she definitely won't give it back.

Why should I return what I stole by my own skill?

[Confident and self-assured - hands on hips.jpg]

"Tsk, since I haven't succeeded yet, I don't care about being a thief."
