I'm tied to Athena.

"In this chaotic mythological age, even Anna and I have appeared. It shouldn't be a big deal if the underworld appears as well, right?"

The black-haired boy grabbed the goddess's hand with his backhand, "Although I believe Ishtar will not leave without keeping her word, but for the sake of safety, I think it is better to hold your hand like this."

After saying that, Li Yun pulled Ishtar towards the underworld.

"Wait... No! I can walk by myself! I can walk by myself, let me go, let me go! Li Yun!"

Looking at the goddess who was making a lot of noise and Li Yun who had successfully pulled off a prank, Anna sighed very maturely and then walked down the stairs.

After the three of them entered, the dark hole immediately disappeared...

"Hey, Li Yun! Is that guy here too?" Ishtar, who was holding Li Yun's hand, showed a rare look of fear. She swallowed and asked cautiously.

"Yes, yes." He answered without hesitation.

"Since both the Underworld and you have appeared, it is normal for your sister Ereshkigal to appear here. In fact, Athena, Ereshkigal, and I were summoned to the Underworld together." After a brief explanation, the three of them quickly arrived at the seven gates of the Underworld.

"I'm back." Li Yun shouted loudly, and then the tightly closed gate to the underworld opened.

“Eh, eh? Are you kidding me?” Ishtar started to scream again. “This is the gate to the underworld. It is a fair and rational gate that questions the souls about good and evil. No matter who you are, as long as you fall into the underworld, you will definitely be questioned by it. Only those who answer its questions can move on.”

"This is one of the systems of the underworld. Even God cannot change it. Why?!"

"Well... maybe it likes me more." Li Yun answered seriously, tilting his head.

Chapter 173: Mesopotamian Comedy

“What kind of excuse is that!” Ishtar bared her teeth, then turned her head with a snort, “That’s enough! Let me go, how long do you want to keep pulling!”

"Sorry, sorry." After expressing his unapologetic attitude, Li Yun released Ishtar's hand and said, "Let's go. The six doors at the back are open. They are waiting for us."

After passing through the seven gates of the underworld, Li Yun and the other two arrived at the so-called palace of the underworld.

"Is this the palace of the underworld?" Anna followed Li Yun in silence, just looking at the barren plains around her. She really couldn't connect it with the palace in her mind.

"This is the underworld, a place without any splendor." As if she had seen through Anna's thoughts, Ishtar crossed her arms and explained, "I don't know what the underworlds of other myths are like, but this is the underworld of Mesopotamia."

"There are no flowers, birds, mountains or rivers. This is a world of death with nothing but death."

"Hmph, you sound like you know a lot about it!" A fog that could not be dispersed suddenly filled the barren plain, and Ailei, wearing a black dress, walked out from the depths of the fog.

She instinctively retorted to Ishtar, then turned her gaze to Li Yun, her tone gentle and happy, as if she was still in Orario.

"Welcome back."

"What's going on!?" Seeing her sister say such words to a human, she felt that her previous knowledge was not enough. "How could a woman like you, who looks like a corpse in a coffin, say such words?"

"You better correct the tone of your voice! The reason you can still maintain your original shape is entirely because I was merciful and did not deprive you of your power, otherwise you would have turned into a small fly long ago!"

"Ha, you're so bold! Even if you deprive me of my power, your ugliness is already well known in Mesopotamia. Even if you turn me into a flying insect, you can't change this fact!"

"You are the one who can't see the situation clearly! Look up carefully, I look like this, even the gods have never seen me like this!"

"It's just an appearance that I got with the help of my possession. If you have the ability, don't use the possession and show your true self!"

"What an infuriating statement!" Ailei held the spear, "Look, I'll build a gun cage to lock you and those undead together!"

"Come on! I'm not afraid of a disgusting guy like you!" Ishtar also drove the sky boat, looking ready to go to war at any time.

"Well, well... We sisters finally meet each other, so don't be so angry. Where is Athena?" Li Yun walked helplessly between the two goddesses and changed the subject.

"Wait for you inside."

Li Yun stepped in to stop them, so naturally, Elly and Ishtar didn't really fight. In fact, Ishtar knew that she was definitely no match for Elly in the underworld, but she didn't want to lose the battle. The two sisters' arrogant and arrogant way of communicating with each other, wishing the other to die, started in the Age of Gods, so they naturally couldn't weaken their momentum just because they were in each other's territory.

The four people passed through the fog and came to the depths of the underworld, and a house suddenly appeared in the fog which was originally a plain.

It was an ordinary square hut, not like the temple built by Ishtar on Mount Ebifu, but just a simple hut.

"Why is there a house here!?"

"Hehe, this was built by Athena and I in two days." Ai Lei said with a proud expression, and then she took Li Yun's hand and said, "I arranged the decorations inside according to the original house. Come and see if you like it."

The four of them walked into the house one after another, and as soon as they entered, they saw Athena sitting in the house reading a book.

"It's a little later than I expected, but...it doesn't seem to be without results." The Goddess of Wisdom walked up to Li Yun and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The three goddesses and their young were introduced to each other by Li Yun, and after seeing Athena, Ishtar and Anna also confirmed that she was the god who gave Li Yun power. Moreover, her original power was even greater than that of Gorgon.

"Although I'm surprised that you would waste time in the underworld doing this kind of thing, never mind, now is not the time to ask this. After resting tomorrow, shall we go directly to Eridu?" A man and four women sat in the living room and began to discuss tomorrow's actions.

"That's right. Our current combat power is already above that of the goddess. We will have the upper hand even if we fight. Even though what she considers to be 'good' is different from what we consider to be 'good', the purpose is the same. Since the purpose is the same, there will definitely be a chance to convince her." Athena nodded in acknowledgment.

"That is what she said, but she is the supreme god standing at the pinnacle of goodness. No good god can defeat her. Unfortunately, you and I are both good gods." Glancing at Elle beside her, Ishtar did not miss this opportunity and began to taunt Elle crazily again.

"The only evil one!!! God is just a half-baked god. He can only wield power in the underworld. Once he leaves the underworld, he becomes a mediocre god and is completely useless."

"That's right. Then let the so-called 'good' god know that provoking the evil god on his territory will have such consequences."

"Oh? Come and try if you have the guts!"

"....." Anna lowered her head calmly, two idiots.

"Let's temporarily shut down Mesopotamian comedy." Athena ignored the sisters who were playing around and said, "Although I'm not sure what myths you understand, at least, I am an evil god."

"You should have felt it after coming to the underworld. The underworld doesn't like other gods except the goddess of the underworld. But this underworld didn't reject me. On the contrary, to some extent, I can still control some of the power of the underworld."

"Indeed..." Ishtar looked strange. "From this point of view, it is too far-fetched to say that you are a good god, but I have heard some myths about you... a hero's cheat, a rare conscience god in Greece, and one of the three virgin goddesses..."

"Okay, although it's a bit too unbelievable to accept that you are an evil god from these myths, but forget it, each myth has its own differences."

"So, you are in charge of the Goddess of the Jungle, right?"

"I can fight her in my full state, but because I was summoned, part of my power flowed into Li Yun's body. Only when he stays by my side can I use my full strength. But in this way, Li Yun has lost most of his fighting power."

"That place is the territory of the Goddess of the Jungle. I don't know how many dangers there are. He is too dangerous after losing most of his power, so I thought of asking you to come." Athena explained the matter in full.

PS: There was an update last night, so the author... hehehehe (actually I went to see a doctor in the afternoon)

Chapter 174: Five Treasures Hundred-Level Leopard Man

"By the way, I remember you can move the underworld, right? How about moving the underworld directly to Eridu?"

"Do you think moving the underworld is a simple matter? It will take at least three days to get from Kuta City to Uruk, not to mention Eridu. The Gorgon is already in contact with Quetzal, and we have to race against time. If Quetzal agrees to the Gorgon's proposal, it will be troublesome."

Ishtar was not quite sure what the underworld of other worlds was like, but she knew that the underworld in Mesopotamian mythology was a movable space.

However, because the underworld was too vast, it was too slow for Elle to move it alone. By the time Elle moved the underworld to Eridu, it was too late.

"That's it. Just go ahead and make a scene and die uselessly. This way I can take over your body, and I don't have to wait until night to have the chance to go out and accompany Li Yun."

"It's a shame, but I won't die so easily. You will stay in the underworld alone until you become a rotten corpse."

The two sisters' friendly and cordial bickering was ignored by Li Yun and the other two.

After a good night's rest in the underworld, the next morning, the four people except Ailei packed up the necessary items and left the underworld.

Of course, before the four of them left, Ai Lei said to Li Yun: "I will use Ishtar's body to accompany you at night."

Although Ishtar replied: "Just stay in the underworld and don't use other people's bodies!"

Starting from Uruk and heading south, crossing the Euphrates River you will enter the city of Ur, which is the last city north of Eridu and the only way to enter Eridu.

The group set out from Kuta City and it took them two days to finally arrive in Ur City.

only.....

"No way, these things weren't here the last time I came here!?" Ishtar screamed. The original city of Ur had been completely wiped out... No, it should be that the terrain leading into the city of Ur had been completely replaced by a sea of ​​tall trees.

There were trees everywhere, and no signs of human activity.

"It seems that the other party has already started to act...Have we reached an alliance?" Li Yun pursed his lips, "We have to hurry up!"

The four of them entered the dense forest one after another, but as soon as they entered the forest, a hot breath suddenly gushed out and wrapped around them like magic.

"The magic power here... is too strong, isn't it?" Li Yun and Anna didn't react much, they just simply felt hot, but Ishtar and Athena immediately felt the divine power that filled this land.

"This is a dense forest created by the other party using his power." Athena whispered quietly, "The rich divine power nourishes the earth and awakens vitality, making this place completely reproduce the ecology of the earth before the asteroid destroyed it."

"Quetzal...it seems that he is more difficult to deal with than I imagined."

Athena was right. If this area really had to be described, it was a different world like an inherent barrier. The only difference from an inherent barrier was that this area could be entered and exited at will, and the area was many times larger than an inherent barrier.

"Is that so... I only felt a stronger magical power than outside, but since you said so, it must be correct. Let's all be careful."

"What a surprising guest. How many guests have come today? Two? Three? Forget it, I can't count them all!" Voices suddenly came from all directions, and the sound of footsteps moving on the trees was heard from the tops of the dense trees. Then, an orange-yellow figure fell from the sky.

“Clang clang clang! Servant, Leopard Man, makes a grand appearance!”

“Is this the other goddess you were talking about?” Looking at the strange creature in a leopard coat, Ishtar no longer had the desire to complain.

"......" Anna remained silent and said nothing.

"You are...ah, I heard from Kukul that you are also a goddess summoned here. Are you here to see her?" The leopard man seemed to recognize Ishtar. "But unfortunately, Kukul's time is scheduled today. If you want to see her, please make an appointment in advance."

"Has it been arranged?" Athena narrowed her eyes. She was a little concerned about what the leopard man said when he just appeared.

Guests? There are more than two or three... Has Gorgon sent someone?

"It seems we came at the right time." Athena and Li Yun looked at each other and guessed what was in each other's mind.

"Oh, it seems you don't plan to retreat. Although I'm not an unreasonable animal, I have already told you in a friendly way that Kukul does not see visitors. If you want to force your way in, hmm..." The leopard man jumped back and condensed a weapon similar to a naginata.

The only difference is that the naginata is equipped with a knife, while hers is equipped with something similar to a doll's claws.

"Are you going to take action?" Ishtar flew into the air. "You are so brave to say such words in front of two goddesses."

"But you'd better leave now. You're not the one we're looking for!"

The golden arrow was installed on Maanna's turret, and magic power completely different from that of humans was condensed, "Take my attack, Maanna, fire at full power..."

"Too slow, too slow! Don't you know that the jungle belongs to the Leopard People? Anyone who attacks the Leopard People will end up badly!"

The leopard man, who was completely underestimated by Ishtar, suddenly jumped in front of Ishtar and swung out fiercely with the strange weapon in his hand.

"So fast... He actually jumped dozens of meters in one go!?"

Ishtar recovered from her surprise and realized, “Wa ...

"Come down!" But when the leopard man's attack was about to fall on Ishtar, Li Yun shouted softly, and the chain cleverly locked the leopard man's ankles like a spirit snake, pulling her down from the sky.

"You actually touched a girl's ankle. That's too much. Don't you know that you can't touch a girl's ankle casually?" The leopard man who fell from the sky shouted this. At the same time, he put his other foot on the chain and used the chain as a support point to jump onto a big tree nearby.

But Anna had already guessed where the Leopard Man would land and had set up an ambush there in advance.

The purple-black sickle flashed by, and the sharp blade cut through the lonely air.

"Want to sneak attack the leopard man? How despicable!" As the words rang out, Anna felt someone pushing her and she staggered down from the branch.

But just as she was about to turn over and fall, she suddenly found that the chain condensed by Li Yun was tied around her ankle at some point.

Chapter 175: A lone follower? Rebellion!

"When?" Anna was hung in the air by chains. She looked at the leopard man who was standing in her original position and laughing. She deeply felt the powerful strength of this leopard man.

“This is the power of the Leopard Man. How about it? Have you seen it? Wahahahahahahaha.” The Leopard Man laughed heartily. “Since you are impolite guests, I will not kill you. But if you still refuse to retreat, the Leopard Man will show his real strength.”

Li Yun removed the chains and took Anna down. Ishtar also flew down from mid-air. "Who on earth is this guy? Do animals really have such power comparable to that of gods?"

"You also know the difference between the South American mythology system and other mythology systems. The divinity there is said to have not been born on Earth, but to have descended from the universe."

"The asteroid hit the Earth, and the 'something' attached to the asteroid parasitized the plants and survived, then turned into microorganisms that could turn local animals into 'gods', and thus established the South American mythology system."

"Isn't Quetzal, our target this time, a winged serpent in mythology?"

Li Yun briefly explained the South American mythology system and said, "It has always been circulated in South American mythology. The jaguar is an ancient god in charge of battle and death. It has been highly revered in South American civilizations of all ages."

"It is said that the leopard god of the Olmec civilization in the pre-classical period appeared on the earth many times in the past, and was a hybrid of human and jaguar."

"What the hell is this? I've heard that South American mythology is very weird, but this is too weird, isn't it?" Ishtar looked at the strange creature in disbelief. "Can this thing be the god in charge of battle and death?"

"Although it is unbelievable, you have just seen her strength. She is a genuine god." Li Yun spread his hands. In a sense, Quetzal's fighting power is the strongest among the three goddesses, whether it is the leopard man or Quetzal.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not just the three goddesses who were summoned to this world. In addition to the genuine alliance of the three goddesses, the "young form of the goddess" Anna, the leopard man, and the mistress of the sky Ishtar were also summoned.

"That's right, that guy over there is right. Hahahaha, this is me, the Leopard Man! What do you think? Are you scared?"

"...I still can't accept being defeated by such a god. This is a lifelong shame." Anna clenched the sickle, "Liyun, I want to chop her down."

"Then let's go all out!" Li Yun glanced at Athena, who seemed to have no intention of taking action, so he mobilized the power of the Gorgon Stone and planned to cooperate with Anna and Ishtar to deal with the leopard man.

"No need." Athena finally spoke. She just raised one slender arm, and then a force of gravity pressed down on the leopard man.
