"you…"

Ishtar stared blankly at Barbara, her previous madness completely gone, replaced by unparalleled despair.

"Don't kill me... I'll grant you any request!"

Do you need any Fari? Or materials dropped by monsters?

"I have a lot! If you're willing to let me go, I can give you all of them!"

"Please, don't kill me!"

Gods will never beg for mercy from humans, unless the person before them is not an ordinary human…

Ishtar was truly afraid of such a gentle and kind yet ruthless savior.

She really will kill herself!

"It seems I've misunderstood something..."

Seeing the goddess Ishtar pleading for mercy, Barbara sighed helplessly and then pointed the gun at Ishtar's forehead.

"You're not only pathetic, you're also incredibly stupid."

Bang!

With the final gunshot in the Pleasure Quarter, Ishtar's body slowly transformed into a beam of light shooting into the sky, flying towards the heavens.

However, Barbara simply watched this scene and muttered to herself…

"Please, Lady Istaru."

Kazemi & Barbara / Dungeon Encounters: Chapter 49 The Power of Time's Reign

"Lady Ishtar, I'm entrusting this to you..."

Watching the beam of light about to return to the heavens, the girl's eyes showed no mercy. Even though Ishtar was about to leave the lower realm, she still had no intention of taking action.

Within Barbara's body, a faint golden light suddenly emerged, chasing after Ishtar in the sky at a speed completely invisible to the naked eye.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"That damned little brat!"

Within the white beam of light, Ishtar continued to curse Barbara, who had killed her so easily, her face filled with resentment and unwillingness.

He spent so much effort in the summer, and it all went down the drain in just one night, even though He did nothing wrong!

"It's not my fault...it's all that little girl's fault!"

"If it weren't for her, why would I have gone back?"

"Yes, it's all her fault!"

Ishtar did not stop cursing, as if by attributing all the blame to Barbara, she would still be the high and mighty goddess.

This time, however, it seems Ishtar is wrong, and terribly wrong...

"Huh? What's that?"

Ishtar suddenly stopped her cursing, because on her way back to the Celestial Realm, she seemed to sense something strange following her, and that gaze…

The way Barbara looked at me before was exactly the same!

It was all the murderous intent emanating from the young girl!

"Is she really going to attack me?"

The Son of God is said to have the ability to kill gods. However, whether he can actually do it is another matter, because no Son of God has ever been born in the world. Feng Jin and Barbara are the first two.

Besides, how could humans possibly use the power given by the gods to rebel against the gods?

This doesn't make any sense at all!

But now that the other party has come knocking on her door, Ishtar can't just do nothing and watch them come to kill her, can she?

"I'd like to see which guy has the guts to come and kill me!"

Resentment and bitterness remained, but Ishtar's face now held another emotion: anger!

Previously, because of Barbara's existence, He dared not reveal His true nature easily, but now that He is about to return to the Heavenly Realm, why should He be afraid of this thing?

But the next second, Ishtar regretted it, because she saw the figure hidden in the blue light...

What to say?

The moment I saw the person in front of me, it was as if I saw the hourglass of time flowing continuously, and the clock on the wall slowly moving forward... In addition, I saw many other scenes, but without exception, they were all related to time.

Without a doubt, the person before me is a god who controls time, definitely in the highest tier!

"But why? Why don't I know you!"

As the golden light faded, the god who controlled time finally revealed his true form to Ishtar.

Although the white-haired goddess wields power over time, her beauty is even more exaggerated than that of Ishtar, the goddess of beauty.

Its sacredness flows through the white and gold interwoven clothing, while the huge circular ornament on its head seems to reject everything around it, as if to say, "Time does not allow anything to defile it."

Simply put, he is a god who is so magnificent it's almost exaggerated!

Ishtar had never seen such an exaggerated existence in all her life; time itself seemed to solidify around her!

Moreover, it exudes an unparalleled sense of oppression!

Even I, who was once a god, probably couldn't compare to the god before me!

Who exactly are you?

The pressure was mounting, and Ishtar even broke out in a cold sweat, her eyes filled with fear, as if to say that she was not at peace with herself.

"Who am I? Does that even matter?"

Even as she chased the beam of light shooting into the sky, the white-haired goddess maintained her elegance and showed no sign of panic despite the surrounding circumstances.

"The important thing is that you bullied my child and made her unhappy, right?"

Despite the smile on her face, the chill emanating from the goddess was far stronger than that from Barbara, and even the beam of light that sent Ishtar away gradually slowed down…

and many more!

Slow?

The sudden turn of events caused Ishtar's expression to change drastically.

If He were to return to the celestial realm, He might still have the ability to confront this goddess, and at that time, the outcome would be uncertain.

But right now, the beam of light that shot into the sky has not yet returned to the heavens, and Ishtar is still within the realm of the lower world!

"You actually stopped time at this moment?"

The timing was so precise that Ishtar couldn't use her divine power as freely as she could in the heavens.

It was this subtle difference that determined the outcome of the battle between the two.

"Of course, after all, my child is watching, and I can't let her down!"

The moment the goddess's voice fell, the environment around Ishtar immediately changed. Although the beam of light that Ishtar was in was still returning to the heavens, at this moment all the light returned to Ishtar's body.

The power of time thus acted upon Ishtar, mercilessly taking away everything that originally belonged to her.

"No! You can't do that!"

"I am a goddess! The consequences of killing a goddess are something this world cannot bear! Everyone will die together!"

Feeling the changes in her body, Ishtar frantically lunged towards the white-haired woman in front of her, but that short distance of less than a meter became an insurmountable chasm.

Ishtar was utterly powerless to prevent her own death…

Because this is not death at all, but regression!

His life is gradually degenerating into its most primitive state over billions of years per second.

"Don't try to fool me like that!"

"Killing a god would certainly have unprecedented consequences, but I haven't killed you, have I?"

"I simply restored you to your original form, allowing you to grow all over again. You should be thanking me..."

"It was I who helped you rid yourself of the filth of the lower realm and restore you to your pure divine self."

As time flowed by, Ishtar's body gradually became transparent, as if she would disappear from the world completely at any moment.

The white-haired goddess hovered in mid-air, silently watching the other party curse and hysterically wave his arms, as if watching an uncivilized ape.

Five seconds.

With only five seconds left, Ishtar will be completely returned to her original state.

It was at this moment that the white-haired goddess spoke.

"Remember my name, Istaru."

"Don't let my children be unhappy in my next life... otherwise, I won't be as kind as I am now."

Time has always been relentlessly taking everything away from others.

Only occasionally, there might be a tiny bit of favoritism…

Then, the goddess named Istaru looked down at the city with its towering towers on the earth, and her figure gradually turned into golden specks of light and disappeared.

"Honestly, they didn't even say thank you..."

"But it's okay, Wendy can pay."

"At least from now on, he'll have to do something productive."

PS:

Since the Genshin Impact story hasn't been released yet, let's treat this as a fan-made creation.

The four ruling parties must be very strong, right...?

Kazemi & Barbara / Dungeon Encounters: Chapter 50 A Certain Fox

"Thank you, Lady Istaru!"

Barbara naturally saw the figure gradually disappearing in the sky. She originally thought she could only borrow the power of those beings, but she didn't expect that the person would be summoned directly.

Although the time was very short, the goal was at least achieved: under the power of the Time Ruler, Ishtar's time was constantly reversing.

As for how badly it will deteriorate... who knows?

It's estimated that only Istaru, the ruler of time, knows the answer; Barbara herself doesn't understand it either.

Today's events are now completely over. As long as she returns to her clan smoothly, no one will know that she was the one who did it.

"Did you see that, Lady Ishtar?"

"I saved everyone here!"

"But things might get a bit chaotic afterward..."

Barbara gazed at the distant Pleasure Street, her figure gradually disappearing into the air, as the area around Pleasure Street began to grow noisy.

"What happened? What was that beam of light just now?"

"It seems like a divine repatriation? Why at this time?"

"Which god was actually deported?"

The beam of light from the gods as they sent people away could not possibly escape anyone's notice; the gods and people in Pleasure Street raised their heads almost simultaneously.

Even some people who were "working" stopped their physical movements, and their faces turned pale.

That's right, they are the women of the Ishtar Familia, and most of them are Amazons.

The Amazons felt their power weaken almost the instant the beam left the earth, which is why their expressions changed drastically.

The gods' return signifies the invalidation of their divine grace; while a small portion of the power they have cultivated over the years will be preserved, the majority will be sealed away.

If they don't find a new place to go, they could easily find themselves in danger, after all, the people in Happy Street... well, you know what I mean.
