I really didn't want to burn it.

"Who made me do the splits? I feel like I'm going to split apart."

The maid said coldly, her voice filled with displeasure.

"puff……"

These words made Li Ang unable to hold back his laughter.

"Okay, my bad. I just wanted to enjoy your legs as much as possible."

Seeing the maid's increasingly angry gaze, and feeling as if a red "danger" sign was about to appear above his head, Li Guoshi quickly begged for mercy to avoid danger.

"Hehe, if you want to play this again next time, go find Mrs. Chloris. She's a plant, and her body is incredibly flexible."

"That's true, she can bend her legs..."

"Ok?"

"I'm going out."

Li Ang quickly shut his mouth and fled from the bungalow.

"Humph."

DD sneered, then continued to hug the pillow and fall asleep.

As for Li Ang, who had stepped outside, he looked at the blue sky and stretched lazily.

"Oh dear, this morning in Uruk is as peaceful as ever!"

As if deliberately contradicting Li Ang, a loud roar rang out right after he finished saying "peaceful."

"This world is about to be destroyed!"

The voice was powerful and resonant, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Li Ang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man covered in red patterns standing on the street, waving his arms and shouting wildly, as if he had gone mad.

"The gods punish us because we disrespect them!"

The man continued shouting in the street, his eyes filled with madness.

"Brothers and sisters! We must regain our faith in God! This is the only way out!"

"It was our king's disrespect for the gods that brought Tiamat's wrath upon us! Why must we pay such a terrible price for that man's laughable pride?!"

"We should give up resisting and pray to the gods again! Only in this way can we be accepted by the gods again!"

As the man's shouts grew louder, more and more people gathered around, forming a circle and whispering about his views.

Li Ang stood on the periphery and listened for a while, and found that some people seemed to agree with what the man said.

However, the man's "public speech" didn't last long, and soon a squad of soldiers dragged away the guy who was shouting "we must respect the gods."

The man continued to shout as the soldiers dragged him away from the street.

“We should abandon the worship of Utnabishtim! It was with him that humanity began to rebel against the gods! He is the source of our suffering! He is our original sin! His statue should be toppled! Regarding Utnabishtim, we…”

Li Ang didn't hear the man's subsequent remarks because he had already been dragged around the corner and away from the street.

"are you mad?"

"what?"

Leon suddenly turned his head and found Gilgamesh hiding in the shadows of the alley.

"I ask you, are you angry with him?"

Gilgamesh asked seriously.

Li Ang quoted Lu Xun in a classic way: "Don't be angry. What does his cursing of Utnabistim have to do with me, Li Ang?"

This truly reflects Li Ang's inner thoughts; he saved people purely to complete his mission.

Li Ang knew very well that his motivation for saving people was not noble, and he never thought that his actions would be worshipped as a savior.

Because he didn't save people in the first place to gain their gratitude.

Moreover, it is normal for a people of the age of gods who worship deities to have such thoughts.

On the contrary, what Li Ang was really curious about was that the guy's reputation was only so-so.

Through observation, Li Ang discovered that although there were people who agreed with the man from earlier, there weren't many.

"That's because of you, Li Ang."

Gilgamesh explained, “Because you successfully defied the gods and made them change their minds. This also gives us a belief—that as long as our actions are righteous, even the gods will admit their mistakes.”

Leon raised his eyelids, convinced that the "we" Gilgamesh spoke of must include himself.

It is very likely that Gilgamesh and Enkidu were inspired by their own deeds to choose to rebel against the gods, because morality was on their side.

The outcome is self-evident; Enki paid for it with his life.

Li Ang sighed, "I'm not actually as good as you think."

“Then become such a good person,” Gilgamesh reminded him. “If you are not, then I really don’t know how to boost their morale. It is because of you that they are willing to follow me in rebelling against the gods.”

"Well... I'll just give a brief response."

Li Ang shrugged.

He was undoubtedly moved. Since he was being expected to do something, it wouldn't be in the style of Grand Preceptor Li.

"correct."

Leon tilted his head and asked Gilgamesh, "Gilgamesh, are you angry with that guy?"

Li Ang originally thought he would hear words like "mortals are ungrateful" or "they are disrespectful to me" from Gilgamesh, but to his surprise, Gilgamesh also shook his head slightly.

"Human beings are beautiful, yet ugly. If I do not understand both aspects, what right do I have to bear the burden of my people?"

When disaster strikes, humanity always reveals both its brilliance and its ugliness.

Leon believed that when Rahmu attacked Uruk, there would be both selfless heroes who would sacrifice themselves and ruthless villains who would stop at nothing to survive.

“What will happen to him?” Li Ang asked.

“Find a place to lock him up,” Gilgamesh said nonchalantly. “Since he likes worshipping gods so much, then let him face the gods when the time comes.”

Tiamat's awakening is inevitable, and Rahmu's attack on Uruk is also bound to happen.

The guy who's been locked up will just become someone Rahmu and his ilk can play with.

But Leon wouldn't sympathize with him. Since this guy wanted to serve the gods, this was the outcome he desired. After all, the mother's child (Rahmu) was also a god.

Uruk, Chaldea Embassy.

"We must revive the worship of God! We must abolish the worship of Utnabistim! Only then will God accept us again!"

Ritsuka watched the charlatan being dragged by soldiers past the embassy entrance and sighed helplessly.

"If only praying to the gods were really that effective."

Ritsuka clearly didn't agree with what the man said.

It wasn't because she was a modern person, nor because many of her followers were "divine" followers.

Rather, it's because Ritsuka knows the reasons for the crisis of humanity, the cause of the singularity disaster, and that praying to the gods to solve these problems is useless; only by doing it herself can she succeed.

"Does Prince Fujimaru dislike gods?"

Ushiwakamaru, who was standing to the side, asked.

Not only Ushiwakamaru, but also Cursed Arm, Cú Chulainn, and Mash, who had been in low spirits lately, all looked at Ritsuka.

"It's not that I dislike them, but I feel it's a bit much to pray to the gods without even trying. I doubt the gods would like someone who only knows how to pray."

"I see. I thought Prince Fujimaru was upset that man spoke rudely to Utnabistim."

"Hey, Ushiwakamaru, why would you think that?"

Ushiwakamaru's words made Ritsuka's expression turn somewhat unnatural.

"I always thought that you, Prince Fujimaru, liked that man."

Ritsuka retorted loudly, "How could that be! I would never like that guy!"

"Is that so? Then Prince Fujimaru doesn't harbor much hatred for that man who beat us all up and destroyed human order?"

Ushiwakamaru tilted his head and asked, puzzled.

"that is because……"

Ritsuka didn't know how to explain.

I can't exactly take out the little note that Li Ang secretly slipped to me back then.

Of course, Ritsuka believed that Leon's relationship with the note was not just about the note, but also because since Leon left Chaldea, in all the battles between the two sides, Leon had not been able to do anything to the Chaldea side.

Although everyone suffered quite a bit each time, apart from recovering Mashu's equipment, none of them were injured, right?

Ushiwakamaru clearly had a different opinion.

"He committed such a serious crime, yet he can still get away with it so easily." Ushiwakamaru said with narrowed eyes, "Then I can only assume that the man has a family connection in Chaldea, which is why he is on Chaldea's whitelist."

Ritsuka hurriedly explained, "Family ties and stuff... that's too much..."

Ushiwakamaru teased, "So nervous? Did I guess right?"

"Ushiwakamaru, don't go too far..."

……

Mash, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, didn't say anything, but subconsciously tightened her grip on her shield.

Regardless of his senior's attitude, Li Ang's current status is undoubtedly that of an enemy.

But in my current state, can I protect my seniors and save humanity?

"No, I must work even harder to defeat Li Ang and bring him to justice!"

Mash made a vow to her shield.

Chapter 207 The Maid is More Than Just Someone to Play With!

At the street intersection, Li Ang, carrying breakfast in his hand, was saying goodbye to Gilgamesh.

After only a few words, this guy tried to lure Li Ang to the palace to help him handle government affairs. Fortunately, the astute Grand Tutor Li discovered the Mesopotamian barbarian's plot in advance.

"Who are you, Mesopotamian barbarians?! You're really pushing your luck!"

Gilgamesh punched Li Ang in the head.

"Don't get so excited," Li Ang said, shaking his head. "By the way, I didn't expect you to sell breakfast here. I thought commerce wasn't this developed in ancient Babylon."

Gilgamesh snorted proudly, "Hmph, I'm not stupid. I know as well as you what the benefits of business are."

Li Ang gave a thumbs up: "As expected of a king who has tasted modern red wine, you have a good eye."

[Host, shouldn't we usually say "having studied abroad"?]

Li Ang shrugged twice, seemingly uninterested in explaining.

"That's settled then, I'll head back now." Li Ang waved to Gilgamesh. "Once you've finished your business, we'll set off together."

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Gilgamesh asked in a cold voice.

"How will we know if we don't try?" Li Ang gestured with his chin. "You think it's feasible too, don't you?"

"Alright, wait for my signal."

Gilgamesh said nothing more and turned to walk towards the palace.

Li Ang carried the breakfast in one hand as he walked towards his small house.

Well, although Li Ang and DD occupied this house without permission, Li Ang has already treated it as his own.
