Zongman: Unlock the Heroic Spirit Heritage from Demon Slayer

"That makes sense!"

The question of why Ereshkigal appeared in Ishtar's body has been solved.

But there was still a problem that had been bothering her.

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked:

"Then why do everyone look so solemn?"

"Is it because King Gilgamesh is in the underworld?"

"Why don't we just rush in and rescue the king?"

The naive Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, continued speaking.

"We have two Venus goddesses, Kukul and Ishtar!"

"Add to that the powerful Zhou Yi and the cunning Merlin!"

"With our combined strength, we should be able to defeat the goddess of the same rank as Miss Ishtar!"

Siduri sighed and asked her back:

"Ritsuka, you know what?"

"The goddess Ereshkigal has been alone in the underworld for thousands of years and is not allowed to go out."

"Did she get any compensation?"

There is a price to pay for bearing this loneliness alone.

So what's the cost?

"Invincible! She is the true master of that vast space in the underworld!"

"All heroic spirits and divinities will be weakened."

The doctor gave the answer.

That is to say!

"Our powers in the underworld are all ineffective."

What Kukul, Ishtar, and Zhouyi.

In this small piece of land of the underworld, no one is a match for Ereshkigal!

"What about Mr. Zhou's Anti-Disaster: EX?"

“Will it also have no effect?”

Mash asked.

When asked this, Zhou Yi felt a little embarrassed.

"I asked about Inhibition, and her answer was that the other party was not a threat."

"So, unfortunately, I can't display my strength in the underworld!"

Now Fujimaru Ritsuka completely understood why everyone's expressions were so solemn!

This is a completely unsolvable situation! .

Chapter 254: Entering the Underworld, the Gate of Trial of "Fairness and Reason"!

In the evening, Zhou Yi was on the roof of the Chaldean Embassy in Uruk, looking up at the night sky.

The starry sky is covered with bands of light that have been burned by humans, obscuring their former splendor.

The day's discussion has yet to come to a conclusion.

Uruk was leaderless.

Xidulli could only follow the instructions left by the king and barely maintain the status quo.

Merlin didn't find Zhou Yi downstairs, so he went upstairs.

"Merlin, what did you do just now?"

Merlin spread his hands and said helplessly:

"Many people have appeared unconscious in the city. Just like King Gilgamesh, their souls have also been taken away by the goddess of the underworld."

"I am assisting Siduri, A-Turning the unconscious man."

"Why? I felt something was wrong with you during the day. It seems that you have a different opinion about the goddess of the underworld?"

It does!

Zhou Yi introduced Merlin to the details of what happened that day with Ereshkigal.

"So, I don't think Ereshkigal is meant to be some evil goddess."

"She must have a reason for doing this, right?"

Merlin narrowed his eyes and said:

"How about we meet in person?"

"Anyway, death is not a scary thing for you."

“It’s a relief.”

"I guess you must be feeling a bit uncomfortable with this situation where your magic power is insufficient and you are restricted!"

Zhou Yi said unhappily:

"You guys are the ones who said that it's too early to reveal your identity."

"But I do want to go to the underworld."

"It's too dangerous to go there alone. I can't guarantee the safety of Ritsuka and the others."

Hearing Zhou Yi's thoughts, Merlin smiled.

I've been waiting for you to say that!

He clapped his hands, signaling Ishtar, who was hiding nearby, to show up.

"Did you hear that? Our goddess Ishtar."

"You have been to the underworld many times, so you should know some unknown passages, right?"

Ishtar floated out with a complicated expression.

She hadn't expected that there was anyone other than herself who could understand Ereshkigal.

"Let's make it clear in advance! If anything goes wrong, don't blame me!"

Zhou Yi said sincerely: "Thank you! As a reward, I will never call you a fool again, Ishtar."

Ishtar: ???

"Forget it. For Ereshkigal's sake, I won't bother with you!"

……

Kusa City

Zhou Yi and Ishtar rushed here overnight.

"I heard from Miss Siduri that this city has been abandoned for a long time."

"I didn't expect it to be the entrance to the underworld!"

Zhou Yi felt a little emotional. The entrance was hidden in such an inconspicuous place. He would never have thought of it in his dreams!

"Entrance? Are you kidding me? There is no proper entrance to the underworld."

"If you want to get in, there are only two ways!"

Ishtar motioned Zhou Yi to stand on the ground, then flew into the sky with a wicked smile.

"Which two?"

A golden beam of light condensed on her hand.

"One is death, and the soul enters the underworld."

"There is another way, like this!"

Boom!

The beam of light in Ishtar's hand shot towards Zhou Yi's location.

Zhou Yi leaped forward, not knowing what the other side was doing.

Then it fell in the distance.

But the expected ground disappeared!

A huge hole appeared under my feet!

"That is to find a place close to the underworld and blow up a hole!"

Ishtar swooped down and landed smoothly with Zhou Yi.

There was silence all around, and an eerie and cold feeling filled the air.

There is only a winding path spiraling downwards.

There are no guardrails on either side of the road, and looking down reveals an unfathomable abyss.

Although the underworld was dark, fortunately there were some black gun cages with light blue flames flickering inside, guiding their way forward.

"My ability is no longer usable, what about you?"

Zhou Yi gave the same answer:

"I can't use my abilities anymore."

"But fortunately, the skills I practiced are still there."

"I'm just relying on my physical fitness to hold on for a while."

Ishtar was a little frustrated. As expected, the underworld was still Ereshkigal's territory.

Even Zhou Yi, who was favored by the restraining force, could not escape the disaster.

"Then the hard approach won't work."

"We can only try to see if we can pass the trial!"

Trial?

As Ishtar walked, she introduced the rules of the underworld to Zhou Yi.

"That Ereshkigal, she has a very strange temper!"

"I think he has become stupid after staying in the underworld!"

"That's it, you listen to yourself!"

"The so-called trial is..."

……

The Deepest Part of the Underworld

The Palace of Ereshkigal

It was a desolate place with only two lonely stone pillars.

The destined fate made the master of the underworld discouraged and even forgot to take care of the place where he lived.

This is how Ereshkigal has lived for thousands of years.

But today, there is an unusual guest here.

To be precise, it was a prisoner - Gilgamesh, the wise king of Uruk!

The specially designed huge gun cage reflects the importance Ereshkigal attaches to this prisoner.

"Hahaha! Your taste is as bad as ever, Ereshkigal!"

"Would you like me to give you some jewels to repair this barren land?"

Ereshkigal ignored Gilgamesh's noisy remarks.
