My mother's love song

The spring scenery created by Qingzi still lingered in his eyes.

The fifth magician's sharp voice piercing the winter still echoed in his ears.

This time, Qingzi did not fail.

She successfully performed the magic.

According to Rhodes' request, Qingzi used the fifth method to teleport him to the city-state of Uruk in 2655 BC.

According to the information Rhodes obtained from Aige, this is exactly the coordinates of the seventh singularity.

Tiamat will manifest here soon.

The time and place seem to be correct...but the height is wrong!

Rhodes struggled to open his eyes and looked down. Even the towering mountains were only small enough to be barely visible to the naked eye.

It is at least 20,000 meters high.

Fearing that the plague would have a negative impact on the Age of Gods, Rhodes did not bring the Pale Knight with him this time.

There is no doubt that he would fall to his death.

To be precise, it is this human container of yours that will die.

Fortunately, before Rhodes traveled through time, he backed up his spiritual base into the Cup of Riches.

Beast is obviously not going to die.

In "Silver Blue", the cub of the sixth beast did not die even after being hit by an Excalibur.

Although he would not die, it would probably take him several months or even eight years to recover his strength.

By that time the daylily will be cold!

Rhodes took a deep breath and began to look around for a way to save himself.

But where can we find the straw of salvation at this altitude of 10,000 meters?

He actually found it.

When Rhodes was rapidly descending to an altitude of less than 10,000 meters from the ground, he found a peculiarly shaped golden spaceship passing by him.

Flying high in the sky was a woman with snow-white skin, red eyes, and stunning beauty that was not like that of a human.

The red pupils glowed with a charming luster, the soft black hair fluttered in the wind, and the provocative body was adorned with jewels.

The Sumerian-style divine clothing is more like a few strips of white cloth than a piece of clothing, and it looks so loose that it seems like it will be blown off by the wind at any time.

At the end of Gilgamesh's reign, when the gods had returned to natural phenomena, there was apparently only one guy who strolled through the sky as if it were his back garden.

The goddess Ishtar, the city god of Uruk.

"... Heaven's Chain [Enkidu]!"

Without thinking, Rhodes pulled out the chain from the imaginary space and shot it towards Tianzhou Ma Anna who was dozens of meters away from him.

As expected, it is the King of Heroes’ favorite anti-god weapon.

It is indeed the ship of the gods that roams the Mesopotamian world, and the interstellar transfer gate that connects the Earth and Venus.

The Sky Chain was firmly fixed on the Sky Bow. Rhodes immediately grabbed the other end of the chain and was dragged into the sky by Ma Anna, stopping his free fall.

"Hey, what? An enemy attack!? No, this is... the Heaven's Chain?"

Seeing her spaceship being entangled by the chains of her lifelong enemy, the goddess of heaven screamed in bewilderment.

"Why am I being attacked by the Sky Chain? Damn Gilgamesh, I can't get away from you!"

Ishtar turned around and found that the one dragging Maana with the Heaven's Chain was not the annoying King of Uruk.

"Golden Flash... who are you?!"

Ishtar looked at Rhodes in surprise.

"We can talk later if you have anything to say. Anyway, let me take a ride first!"

Rhodes shouted as he held on to the chains tightly.

Speaking of which, it seems like Ma Anna has been flying downwards at a 45° angle since just now?

Woman, can you drive? No, let me do it!

"No! Let go!"

Ishtar shouted, "The Heaven's Chain will limit Maana's power! I can't control it!

What do you think of the Heavenly Chain? That's a chain that can even trap the Bull of Heaven...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I'm going to fall!"

"what?"

Before Rhodes could react... the Sky Boat entangled by the chains suddenly lost weight and turned towards the ground.

The spaceship carried the two of them and accelerated towards the earth.

Rod: "Aa ...

Ishtar: "Aa ...

boom!

Even the city of Uruk, 20 kilometers away from the impact point, felt the earth shaking.

A huge pit with a diameter of 30 meters and a depth of 5 meters appeared in the ancient wilderness.

In the center of the huge pit, the great and noble goddess of sky was lying on the ground with her left hand stretched forward.

……

……

“…Ugh, it hurts. What’s going on?”

Ishtar covered her head which seemed to be splitting open and slowly opened her eyes.

"Well, I will never forgive you... That brat actually dared to attack me. I will hang you on the highest point of the Uruk Ziggurat as a warning to everyone... Huh?"

Ishtar sat up from the ground and was surprised to find that the boy who had attacked her was right next to her.

"ah!"

The goddess screamed and fled behind the sky boat that was inserted into the ground.

"I'm ignorant, I was just joking! Don't hit me with the Heaven's Chain!"

""

"Um……?"

Ishtar, who received no response, poked her head out from Maana and observed the situation fearfully.

She found the black-haired boy lying motionless on the ground.

"..."

I still feel a little uneasy. Could he be pretending to be dead?

Ishtar carefully stretched out her handicraft-like bare feet and poked Rhodes' face.

After making sure that he really had no reaction, the goddess finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? Dead? That's true. How could a human survive such an explosion? If I hadn't used my power at the last moment, I would have been in great danger."

Ishtar regained the confidence and composure of a goddess.

She came to Rhodes, looked down at the boy and laughed.

“Hahahaha! This is what happens when you go against my Lady Ishtar… I don’t know who sent you as an assassin, but you deserve it.

Hmm, there seems to be something under him?"

Ishtar pushed Rhodes' body away and her expression froze.

"What's this?"

Ishtar gasped.

It was a heavy cup made of gold.

The golden cup inlaid with ten-colored gems sparkled in the midday sun, making everything around it seem pale in comparison.

"…Bring it here!"

The goddess quickly took the Holy Grail into her arms.

As the most beloved daughter of the God-King Anu, Ishtar once possessed everything in the world.

She owned countless gold, silver and jewels, but nothing among them could attract her as much as the golden cup before her.

Putting aside the exquisiteness and nobility of the golden cup itself, the magical power contained in it made Ishtar feel dazed.

Even the [Uruk Cup] held by that arrogant Gilgamesh is nothing compared to this.

Like a mellow wine that tempts people to fall, the goddess of heaven almost gets drunk just by touching the golden cup.

"!"

Ishtar woke up from her trance, holding the golden cup tightly in her arms, and looked around furtively.

Good, no one saw.

If no one sees it, it’s mine!

"Yes, I am the city god of Uruk. Everything on this land belongs to me!"

Ishtar put her face against the Cup of Wealth, revealing an intoxicated and happy expression.

"This must be a tribute from some pious citizen. Yes, it must be so!

Okay, let’s go~”

Tianzhou Ma Anna slowly came to Ishtar's side. As she boarded the spaceship, she spoke to Rhodes who was lying on the ground motionless.

“I see you are badly injured, so you’d better lie down on the ground. I will accept the tribute you offer as a token of repentance before you die.

Ahem... I forgive you for offending me just now. After all, I am a kind and tolerant goddess.

Okay, that's it, bye~"

Ishtar returned to the sky boat carrying the golden cup.

The air currents of ether blew across the earth, and Maanna slowly rose into the air.

Ishtar glanced at Rhodes out of the corner of her eye.

"..."

"……Well."

“…Tsk! This is my city after all. I’ll be troubled if I die here!”

Ishtar jumped off Mayanna with a sour face and carried Rhodes onto the spaceship.

……

……

……

Everything is quiet.

The deepest part of the underworld is a place of extreme darkness where you can’t see your hand in front of you.

Rhodes woke up in the absolute darkness that did not allow even a trace of life to exist.

"hiss."

He hugged his shoulders and took a breath.

The first intuitive impression is that it is very cold, a chill that penetrates the heart.

Obviously this was not an environment where humans could survive, but it made Rhodes feel like he was back home.

"……anyone there?"

Rhodes looked around.
