My XX deal with Sister Nero

"Ah? Are you talking about Hippolyta and Penthesilea? According to their speed... they should be very close to Ctesiphon by now, right? Well, at the latest, it will be tomorrow. They will reach Ctesiphon tomorrow." After a quick estimate, Ta Miao frowned and said slowly.

"Tomorrow..." Tony nodded. When Tamiao used the complaint arrow to tell the Greek gods everything that happened here, the coordinates she left behind were the coordinates of Ctesiphon. If the Greek gods wanted to send reinforcements, they would ask them to come to Ctesiphon and meet up near a small inn.

Although Tony and others are no longer here at the moment, he left several intelligence personnel here to contact the two reinforcements who have arrived.

While Tony was waiting for reinforcements, on the other side, in heaven.

"Everyone, our mother has been resurrected now. Everyone...what do you want to say?" On the throne, Marduk, the main god of the Mesopotamian pantheon, asked with a cold face.

"My Lord." Under the throne, a burly young man took a step forward and bowed slightly to Marduk, saying, "I think that even if the legendary Mother of the Gods is resurrected and descends upon this world again, we should once again raise our weapons and drive this former Mother of the Gods, who has fallen into the mother of monsters, into the imaginary space once again."

"As expected, you are the god of war Ninurta." Marduk nodded at the man. As the successor of Enlil, Ninurta could be said to be a typical hawk. If an enemy attacked, no matter who the opponent was, Ninurta's first reaction would be to rush up and beat him up first.

But... judging from the current fighting power of the Mesopotamian gods, can they... really defeat Tiamat again?

"Mr. Atla, what do you think?" After thinking for a while, Marduk finally shifted his gaze to an old man with white hair and beard not far from Ninurta, and asked with a little respect.

Atra-hasis, the wisest man in Mesopotamian mythology. At this critical juncture, Marduk really wanted to hear the judgment of this wise man.

"Our mother Tiamat must be exiled to the imaginary space." Atla bowed slightly to Marduk, and then set the tone for the matter.

Marduk nodded. That’s right, Tiamat must be exiled to the imaginary space, otherwise... the Mesopotamian gods will die miserably.

But the question is, how can we defeat Tiamat and exile her into the imaginary space?

"My Lord God... don't forget that there is more than one Mesopotamian pantheon in this world." As if seeing through Marduk's doubts, Atla smiled wisely and said to Marduk.

"You mean... seek help from other gods?" Marduk frowned and asked tentatively.

"Of course." Atla nodded slowly and said, "According to what I heard, there is a human named Tony Claudius in the world who is leading two Greek demigods to stop Tiamat. In addition, Gilgamesh is also leading the wandering star scout, and it seems that he intends to stop Tiamat."

"Wandering Planet Soldier..." As a god in Mesopotamian mythology, Marduk was familiar with the terms Wandering Planet Soldier and Gilgamesh. One was the fifth-generation king of the Kingdom of Uruk, a half-human, half-god hybrid who killed the Bull of Heaven, and the other was a powerful being from the universe who destroyed multiple pantheons. If these two really wanted to take action against Tiamat, then... the Mesopotamian gods did have the capital to ask for help from other pantheons.

Chapter 537 They are indeed siblings!

The Mesopotamian pantheon can be said to be one of the weakest pantheons at present.

Compared with other pantheons, the Mesopotamian pantheon can be said to be quite weak.

When the planetary soldiers invaded the earth, almost all the gods had gone up to resist, and it can be said that they all suffered countless casualties. In addition to resisting the invasion of the planetary soldiers, the Mesopotamian gods also exiled Tiamat, so they were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. What's worse is that the source of the Mesopotamian gods' beliefs was mainly concentrated in the Arabian Peninsula, or to be more precise, mainly concentrated in the Fertile Crescent. After all, at that time, in that era, in that era when technology was not well developed, humans had no way to conquer those places that were not suitable for living. They could only concentrate as much as possible in a few grain-producing areas, such as the Fertile Crescent, the Ganges River Basin, the banks of the Nile River, and the Guanzhong Plain.

From a strategic perspective, these grain-producing lands will remain extremely important strategic locations even two thousand years from now.

Not to mention the current era where people have to depend on the weather and the environment for their livelihood.

However, among these grain-producing areas, the Fertile Crescent is the worst off.

The Guanzhong Plain is located in the heart of the Central Plains, and the Ganges River Basin and the Nile Delta are also considered to be in the heart of the country. Only the Fertile Crescent, located at the junction of three realms, has been ruled successively by the Assyrian Empire, the Babylonian Kingdom, the Persian Empire, the Alexander Empire, the Seleucid Empire, the Parthian Empire and other countries. So since the occupation of the Persian Empire, basically... the gods believed in in the Fertile Crescent have nothing to do with the Mesopotamian pantheon.

There was no way. The Persian Empire believed in Persian gods, while the Alexander Empire and the Seleucid Empire believed in Greek gods. As for the Parthian Empire... because it was a Hellenized Persian country, some of them believed in Persian gods, some believed in Greek gods, but very few people chose to believe in Mesopotamian gods.

So... without a source of faith, the Mesopotamian gods could be said to be in a miserable state.

As for other pantheons... yes, other pantheons also suffered heavy casualties in the decisive battle with Sefalu, but at least their territory is still there, and they can strengthen themselves through human faith, so from this point of view alone, the recovery speed of these pantheons is much faster than that of the Mesopotamian pantheon. And this time with the coming of Tiamat, if the Mesopotamian pantheon really intends to rely on itself to deal with Tiamat, it will be completely seeking death.

The only way is to get reinforcements.

For example... the Roman pantheon and the Greek pantheon!

Although we still don't understand why the Wandering Star Vanguard is with Gilgamesh, one thing is certain: if other pantheons don't pay much attention to Tiamat because they don't know much about her, then no pantheon will be able to sit still when the Wandering Star Vanguard appears again.

Just as the Mesopotamian pantheon was discussing whether to seek reinforcements, on the other side.

After walking back and forth in the central military tent for several steps, Nero finally decided to go find his brother.

As an elder sister, Nero certainly knew her younger brother very well. She had long learned from Rosa that her younger brother had obtained the power of a Heroic Spirit just like herself, but compared to herself, her younger brother... had not obtained all the power of a Heroic Spirit.

Compared with humans, Heroic Spirits have stronger combat capabilities, whether it is their physical fitness or abilities granted by their restraint, or some abilities they use based on their own anecdotes. Moreover, Heroic Spirits also have treasures that Rosa calls "ultimate moves", so Rosa said at the beginning that Heroic Spirits are very strong, and few mortals in this world can compete with Heroic Spirits.

But what about Tony? Tony is an artificial heroic spirit. Before he was assassinated in the future, there were not many anecdotes about him. According to the future Rosa, also known as "Rose", before Tony was assassinated, he was just a "traveler" in the conventional sense, making some inventions and creations, and most of these inventions and creations were related to weapons. So in terms of the public, Tony... well, is not as memorable as this moment.

After modifying this world into a Lostbelt, "Rose" naturally completed the plan of creating an artificial Heroic Spirit, that is, to turn the future Tony into a Heroic Spirit. On Rosa's side, after the Heroic Spirit Tony returned to the Throne of Heroes, he reached an agreement with the Restraining Force to guide the power of the Heroic Spirit Tony into Tony's body. However... because of Tony's normality, he did not fully obtain the power of the Heroic Spirit Tony. The most basic point is that he has no Noble Phantasm.

So although Nero was angry at the beginning, she was not very worried about Tony's life safety. After all, even without the treasure, Tony's combat power was stronger than that of ordinary people. But when Tiamat appeared, Nero was really panicked.

Are you kidding! The other party is Tiamat, the former creator god in Mesopotamian mythology and the former mother of monsters!

Not to mention that Tony doesn't have a treasure, even if he does, it would still be very dangerous!

No, I still have to go to the Persian Gulf to bring my brother back!

Nero took a deep breath and made up his mind. He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the central military tent and said to a guard standing next to him: "I will be out for a while. If General Bruce asks, just say that I... have something to deal with and will be back in a few days. Hmm."

I have to say that Nero and Tony are really siblings, because sometimes they have exactly the same ideas!

Tony led his men to stop Tiamat. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, the very least, for Tony, this was a very dangerous thing. It was our little prince who was putting himself in danger.

So Nero wanted to catch him back, or rather, he wanted to find a stronger guy to catch Tony back. It would be best if this person had enough strength to protect his brother on the road.

So how many people in the Roman Empire were capable of doing this?

The first one, of course, was the God Ancestor Romulus, but our God Ancestor was in Rome at the moment and couldn't make it in time. The second one was naturally Zero, the personal guard of his former brother, whose fighting power was comparable to that of a servant.

However, after becoming the head of her brother's intelligence department, Jie Luo was currently gathering intelligence in the British province and had no time to come over.

The only one left is Nero himself, who has obtained the power of the heroic spirit.

If Nero wanted to go and bring back his brother personally, Bruce would definitely not agree. The reason was simple. Nero's status was much more noble than Tony's. If Tony died accidentally, Rosa might cry, Shen Xiaofan might cry, Nero might cry, and even the entire Roman Empire might cry with Nero.

But what happens after the crying? What impact does Tony's death have on the Roman Empire?

Excluding the identity of the Lord of the Lostbelt, if Tony died, the impact on the Roman Empire would not be that great. It would simply mean that the Roman Empire would not be able to make technological progress in a very short period of time, or in other words, the Roman Empire would not be able to cheat in the future.

But what if Nero died?

Then the Roman Empire would probably collapse on the spot.

Tony might be okay, but if Tony is gone too, then Nero will have no heirs, no direct male relatives, or even no direct relatives. Who do you think will be the next head of the Roman Empire?

It would be strange if the Roman Empire wasn’t in chaos by then!

So there is no way Bruce would let Nero go to the Persian Gulf, and Nero also knows this. She can only bypass Bruce and, like Tony, sneak to the Persian Gulf and bring her brother back!

They are indeed siblings, their thinking and operation are absolutely amazing!

Chapter 538: The Brother and Sister About to Meet

"You said that His Majesty is out?" Bruce, who had just finished a meeting with several lieutenants and was about to return to the central military tent to report to Nero, heard a piece of news that made him a little overwhelmed from the guards who were responsible for guarding the door of the central military tent.

Her Majesty has gone out, and from the tone of her voice, she has left the front-line camp.

Where will His Majesty go then?

Did he go hunting because he was bored in the barracks? Although this was a custom among the nobles, it was said that His Majesty went out without anyone with him this time. How could he go hunting? How could a noble go hunting without his entourage? Besides, the prey around here had basically been killed by the guards, so where would there be any prey for His Majesty to hunt?

Then Your Majesty went out alone...where did he go?

Could it be that... His Majesty went to look for the little prince? !

Bruce broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this possibility.

"Quick, send out scouts to search for the traces of the pen within a radius of thirty miles. Regardless of whether His Majesty is found or not, you must report to me in time. Go quickly!" Bruce turned his head to look at the lieutenants behind him in panic, and became a famous leader.

"Yes, General!" Although no one understood what exactly happened, everyone could tell from Bruce's anxious and panicked expression that... something big might have happened!

However, at this moment, our Majesty Nero was riding a griffin and soaring in the sky. His bright big eyes scanned the earth from time to time, trying to confirm Tony's whereabouts.

After all, this time Tony left Ctesiphon without any intelligence department entourage. It can be said that at this moment the Roman Empire was unable to confirm the specific location of its own prince.

Nero, not knowing his brother's exact location, could only rely on his naked eyes to search for his brother.

However... Tony's whereabouts are not easy to find.

Passing Ctesiphon and as Nero gradually approached the Persian Gulf, she keenly noticed that there were many strange black spots moving on the land below her.

"Warcraft?" Nero frowned as he looked at the strange creatures on the ground. It seemed that the current situation was more serious than what the intelligence personnel reported. At least such a large-scale Warcraft attack... the intelligence department below did not say anything.

"Brother..." Looking at the monsters wreaking havoc on the ground, Nero fell into sorrow.

I hope these monsters...are not enough to threaten my brother.

……

On the other side, in a small town about one hundred kilometers away from the Persian Gulf.

"I didn't expect there are still people living in this town. You guys... are really brave." Tony casually grabbed a few chickpeas and stuffed them into his mouth. He looked at the shopkeeper standing not far away with some curiosity and said with a smile.

"You can't say we are brave." The shopkeeper scratched his head in bewilderment and said, "Originally, when we heard that the monsters were attacking again, we also planned to run away, but how can we two-legged humans run faster than the four-legged monsters? By the time we packed up our things, these monsters had basically surrounded our town. If we didn't rely on the earth walls that could barely resist the monsters, maybe... our fate would have been similar to the surrounding villages, right?"

The shop owner was right. A two-legged human could not outrun a four-legged beast.

When the residents of this small town learned that monsters were attacking, their first reaction, like normal people, was to pack up and run. However, they had to pack up, but the monsters didn't. So by the time they had packed up and gathered together to prepare to run, the monsters had already passed them and rushed in front of them, attacking several villages.

There was no other way. In order to survive, the residents of the small town had to put down what they were holding once again, and then desperately reinforced the earth walls, trying their best to resist the attacks of the monsters.

However, what the residents of this small town did not expect was that this morning, this young man, accompanied by a few people who looked like his subordinates, came to the gate of the town in such a swagger, wanting to beg for food.

How...did he manage to pass through the blockade of the monsters without getting hurt?

If the little ghost found a path without monsters, could the residents of the town also evacuate to a safe place through this path? If the little ghost relied on the ability of his subordinates to fight his way here, could they also ask the little ghost for help and let him escort the residents of the town to evacuate?

"This young man..." The shopkeeper took two steps forward, looked at Tony with a flattering smile, and asked cautiously: "Is our...taste okay?"

"Well, not bad." Tony was not a Parthian, so his requirements for these exotic foods were very low. As long as he could eat them, it was fine. In this era, let alone Parthian food, he might not even be able to get used to the food of the Eastern Han Empire.

"Ah, it's great that you can eat it." The shopkeeper rubbed his hands excitedly and asked carefully, "Um... I want to ask, young man, how did you... get through the group of monsters and come to this town?"

"Ah? This." Tony curled his lips and said, "These monsters are not very strong, can't we just attack them?"

It is undeniable that Tony really has the confidence to say this.

Although he has no treasure, Tony's combat power is far beyond that of ordinary people. Even if he does not have any combat skills at the moment, he can rely on his physical strength to fight against monsters.

Anyway, these magical beasts whose IQs are far lower than humans' don't have any fighting skills, right?

"Ah... did he come over here forcefully?" The shopkeeper took a look with some fear at the muscular man who was nearly two and a half meters tall and sitting next to the little guy. He swallowed his saliva and thought, well, based on his physique, he... should be able to handle those monsters, right?

"Well... what's the matter with this young man coming to our town?" The shopkeeper gave Tony his best possible kind smile and asked.

"Ah, what's the matter..." Tony scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth: "I want to... go deal with Tiamat."

Tiamat? The shopkeeper was stunned at first, and almost didn't realize who Tiamat was.

"The Tiamat you are talking about... is it the Tiamat in mythology, the creator god and the mother of all beasts?" After a slight hesitation, the shopkeeper asked in disbelief.

PS: I've been mumbling for two days, but there's nothing I can do. My dad came to Chongqing, so I have no time to write... I wrote this chapter secretly in the past two days. I'll finish writing after he leaves tomorrow... I feel complicated

Chapter 539: It was a close call, I almost got beaten

"Yes." Tony nodded and replied.

Is that really Tiamat?!

After confirming the identity of the monster from Tony, the shop owner broke out in a cold sweat.

After all, living in the Mesopotamian Valley, even if you are not a native Semitic, you have more or less heard of Mesopotamian mythology, and the core of Mesopotamian mythology is nothing more than the Babylonian creation myth and the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Tiamat is, of course, the main villain in the Babylonian creation myth. She is the target of the gods' crusade and the legendary creator god and the mother of all beasts!

In this age when technology is not well developed, in this age when everyone fears nature, in this age when gods have not yet completely died out, there is no one who is not afraid of God, and Tiamat is an existence that even the gods have to deal with with caution. Tell me, as an ordinary mortal, how can he not be afraid?

As for what the kid said about going to defeat Tiamat... the shop owner wouldn't take it seriously.

Are you kidding me? Do you think you are God?

Just as mentioned before, not many people knew about the birth of Tiamat. Most people in the Parthian Empire only knew that there was a huge monster in the Persian Gulf fighting with the Roman Navy. They also only knew that the Persian Gulf was currently being invaded by a large number of monsters, but how and where these monsters came from... Sorry, they didn't know.

Now, the store owner finally understood.

The one who attacked the Roman Navy in the Persian Gulf was Tiamat, the mother of beasts, and these rampaging beasts were none other than Tiamat’s children!

No one can kill Tiamat, only the gods can.

Looking at the pale face of the shopkeeper, Tony could probably guess what he was thinking. After finishing the chickpeas in the bowl, he wiped his mouth, stood up and stretched. He was about to go to the backyard to find a room to take a nap when he suddenly heard a voice that was so familiar to Tony coming from the door of the shop: "Shopkeeper, do you have anything to eat?"

Hearing this voice, Tony, who had been looking lazy, suddenly became extremely frightened.

……

Nero loved her brother very much. Because she was worried about his safety, she secretly left the barracks without Bruce's knowledge and planned to find her brother's whereabouts.

The only thing Nero could be sure of was that his brother was currently in the southeast of Ctesiphon, or to be more precise, in the area between Ctesiphon and the Persian Gulf.
