My mother's love song

"Lucifer, I'm back?"

"Beelzebub, my hxd, are you there?"

"Abaddon, Mostima, come out and greet me."

Rhodes walked on the desolate land of death, which was filled with long crystal-shaped cages everywhere.

There is a cluster of faint firelight in each cage, flickering unsteadily.

Looking around, the countless cages light up the dark world like lanterns, which is quite spectacular.

"Wait, is that Ereshkigal's Gun Cage..."

Rhodes stroked his chin, finally grasping his situation.

"That is to say, I, the King of Hell and the end of humanity, just fell to my death and entered the afterlife of Sumer."

He looked around.

Good, there were no witnesses.

If other beasts or demon kings knew about this, they would probably laugh at him for 100 million years.

“After I died, I did not turn into black mud and lie dormant on the ground as I expected, but entered the underworld.

That’s right… Entering the underworld after death is the normal state in the Age of Gods. I’ve been in the modern world for too long and have forgotten this.”

Ishtar, who fell down with him, is not here. Didn’t she die from the fall?

No, that's not right. If she found out that the underworld still exists, the owner of this place would be very troubled.

After all, Ereshkigal hid the fact of her manifestation from her sister Ishtar.

"Shit! The Garula spirit is coming. If I get caught by that thing, I will be completely turned into a dead spirit!"

Rhodes discovered that a group of ghosts in the shape of skeletons were floating towards him.

“Meditation… I remember in Chapter 7, Gilgamesh used meditation to enter the state of [Breath Blocking EX] and escaped the sight of the Garula spirit.

If Gilgamesh can do it, there is no reason why I can't do it!"

The young man held his breath and silently recited the six senses of purity in his heart.

【Emperor's Privilege】, activated.

Rhodes, who entered a state of meditation [playing dead], finally avoided the eyes and ears of the Galula spirit at the critical moment.

"Huh, I finally escaped."

Rhodes remained lying on the ground, looking down at the landscape of the underworld.

There were winding and steep cliffs everywhere, and the Garula spirits were walking in a line on the steep path.

Even the gods don't know what will happen if you fall from that cliff.

Next, there are two options before him.

First of all, one thing must be made clear

Without Ereshkigal's permission, Rhodes could not leave the underworld and return to the human world.

One of the plans is to find Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld, and use violence to make her surrender.

The feasibility of this plan = 0.

Ereshkigal was the Sumerian god of the underworld.

The mistress of the underworld who controls the growth and decay of plants, commands snakes and dragons, and can freely control the spirit of Garula, the messenger of death.

In this underworld, the queen is an absolute existence.

All humans or gods who enter the underworld will be forcibly deprived of all their power.

In fact, Ereshkigal's sister, Ishtar, once used violence to wreak havoc in the underworld like Sun Wukong and Hercules, but that ended up being the biggest defeat of her life.

The invincible goddess of sky was stripped naked and disemboweled by the goddess of death, and died with her eyes open.

Neither humans nor gods can defy the laws of the Queen of the Underworld, because

If death loses its weight, then life is no longer noble.

Ereshkigal's power in the underworld is so high that even Tiamat, who was the [Manifestation of Human Evil], had her Beast spirit base suppressed after being dragged underground by everyone.

In the end, Tima had to release [Anti-Genesis] to directly destroy the underworld.

The second option is naturally to try soft means if hard means don’t work.

I can use my handsome boyish face and Asian personality that have conquered countless beautiful older sisters to make Ereshkigal fall in love with me and obey me!

Ereshkigal, one of the easiest women to deal with in the Throne of Heroes.

Under my extraordinary charm, he would be able to take off his armor and surrender in a matter of minutes...

Well, the answer to this question is two.

"Very good, let's go to the Fever Temple to meet Ereshkigal!" Rhodes rubbed his hands with enthusiasm.

"Are you looking for me?"

At this moment, a majestic inorganic voice came from behind Rhodes.

"Don't call out my name so easily... a mere human boy."

What came into view was a skeleton the size of a two-story building.

The horrifying white bones slowly fell from the sky, but their huge bodies seemed as light as a feather.

Its two huge white claws waved gently in the air, and the air seemed to condense and the temperature dropped sharply.

The Queen of the Garula Spirit, who was dozens of times larger than an ordinary Garula Spirit, appeared before the disrespectful invader.

""

Just standing in front of it, Rhodes felt a chill.

This is not the coldness that stays on the skin, but the extreme coldness that penetrates into the internal organs.

The Queen of the Garula Spirits declared coldly as two balls of blue fire in her eye sockets looked down at the boy.

"Praise, fear, despair.

Ignorant people, I am the manager of death.

The mistress of the underworld, Ereshkigal, the one who tramples the sacred peaks... Eh!?"

The giant skeleton who called himself Ereshkigal was surprised to find that the boy not only did not pee himself on the ground in fear, but instead ran towards him with a happy look on his face.

"...You, you, don't come over here!"

Rhodes took a step forward and hugged it without thinking.

"What are you doing! Let me go!"

The words that the young man blurted out in a hurry not only shocked Ereshkigal for 500 years, but even Rhodes himself was unbelievable.

"mom!"

Chapter 139 The goddess sisters fell one after another...

Ereshkigal became my mother, how could I have such a dream?

Seeking motherhood in a beautiful girl like Ailei (1% arrogance + 99% coquettishness) is as unreasonable as seeking truth, goodness and beauty in Ishtar!

Anyone with a brain would call Ailei wife, right? Why is she mom?!

The mother of BeastVI is a woman with the appearance of the great whore of Babylon.

There is no need to say much about Nero and Aika Sajo, who are officially appointed. After all, Tiamat also experienced the disaster from the sea in the seventh singularity.

What about Ereshkigal?

Although some believe that her half [the goddess Ishtar] is the prototype of the great whore of Babylon.

But unfortunately, there is no connection between Ishtar and the Whore of Babylon. It is just a literal association.

The demon that originated from her is Astaroth.

The goddess Astaroth is the sister/wife of the Canaanite god Baal. She is the goddess of love and Venus and is also in charge of the underworld.

This is the origin of the view in Type-Moon that Ishtar and Elle are two sides of the same pillar god.

Compared to Ishtar, Aphrodite is more likely to be one of the prototypes of the Great Whore of Babylon.

The Greek goddess of love was the patron saint of prostitutes and was also considered the mother of Rome.

Julius Caesar claimed descent from Venus, and Virgil in his poetry describes Silvia, the mother of Romulus, the founder of the gods, as the granddaughter of Aphrodite.

Type-Moon also uses these two settings.

In addition, although modern views hold that Ishtar is not the original Aphrodite, Sumer in the history of the moon is the origin of all things after all.

Aphrodite, the goddess of machines, was influenced by Sumerian mythology and also holds the power of beauty and death.

Far away.

Aphrodite is not my mother.

Neither is Ishtar.

Even less so Ereshkigal!

I am a strong beastVI, but I only have three mothers!

Put the house aside in advance.

Rhodes' loud shout of "Mom!" resounded throughout the entire underworld.

Driven by the desire to survive, he hugged the ugly and terrifying giant Garula spirit tightly.

Come to think of it… I’ve played the mommy play with Aoi and Airi before, and they kept pestering me, so maybe it’s muscle memory…

"Well."

This hard, white-bone body is similar to Ai Ge's body.

Although I hugged another girl and called her mother, what I was thinking about in my heart was Ai Ge.

Thinking of this, Rhodes pressed his face against the goddess of death in the spirit form of Garula with more confidence.

However, this left Ailei speechless.

Mom? Me?

When did I have a child?

Ereshkigal had been in this underworld for tens of thousands of years, and had never seen a man or a god, let alone a kettle with a handle.

Oh, by the way, her good sister Ishtar used to take her ostensible husband, the sheep who was the former emperor of Uruk, as a scapegoat and threw him into the underworld.

"You, what did you do to me! Do you know who I am!?"

The giant skeleton, which was so arrogant and majestic just now, suddenly froze in place, waving its huge claws in panic.

Ereshkigal continued to threaten in her deliberately terrifying tone.

"Let go! Who is your mother? I don't have any human children! Do you want to humiliate me?"

As Ereshkigal's emotions fluctuated, her giant body inadvertently emanated waves of deathly chills.

An extreme chill like a raging fire came from Sen Sen's spine, stinging Rhodes' tender skin.

But even so, he still hugged Ereshkigal tightly with a tragic look on his face and refused to let go.

After all, it concerns whether I can return to the ground safely, so I can't relax at all.

"There's no doubt about it. I can recognize you even if you turn into a monster. You are my mother!"

monster

The word that Rhodes uttered unintentionally touched Ereshkigal's heart.

According to legend, the goddess of the underworld in Mesopotamian mythology imprisoned the souls of people who died on earth.

The vicious and ugly Ereshkigal would lock the human souls she favored into a cage and keep them by her side for tens of thousands of years to play with for her own amusement.

Only the state of the soul is extremely painful, but the soul imprisoned in the gun prison will never disappear.
