"It's really you."

"Well, since this stupid goddess in front of me is so happy, I won't interrupt her."

……

After cutting off communication with Gilgamesh, Ishtar finally woke up.

"Ishtar, are you okay?"

"Something's wrong! I'm almost mad at you!!"

"Not only you, but also that ungrateful Ereshkigal!"

"09It's fine that the questions she asked were so stupid!"

"Why can you still go against your conscience and give such an answer!"

Ishtar is now very angry.

No, to be precise, she was angry the whole time tonight!

"Forget it, let's pass the trial quickly and take Gilgamesh away from here."

"He just contacted me through the contract. I guess there's nothing serious going on."

"Hmph! Hurry up! I can't stay in this underworld for even a second!"

In this way, they passed the tests of several stone gates.

The questions given are also varied.

But no matter how things change, the essence remains the same: they are all about belittling Ishtar.

For example, the question about the third stone door is - among the partners fighting alongside you, which one can you trust, respect, and deserve victory?

There are two options, the cunning Merlin and Ishtar.

Of course Ishtar wanted to choose herself!

But considering her remaining divinity, she chose to keep her mouth shut.

He just looked at Zhou Yi with a resentful face.

He said silently in his mind:

"You should be able to make a 'fair' and 'rational' choice!"

He was not sure whether the answer given by Zhou Yi was fair and rational.

But at least it got the recognition of Shimen.

"It's Merlin!"

"correct answer!"

The sounds coming from the stone gate became joyful.

Next is the fourth stone door, the fifth door, and the sixth door!

Finally, they arrived at the seventh door.

Ishtar became the size of a palm and lay weakly on Zhou Yi's shoulder.

"How abominable! These questions are obviously directed at me!"

"Does she hate me so much?"

Ishtar kept hitting Zhou Yi's body with her pitifully thin arms to vent her dissatisfaction.

"No, it shouldn't be hatred, but envy."

Zhou Yi explained.

"Envy? What do you mean?"

"I envy you for being able to travel in the vast world, gain the favor of the gods, and gather all seven powers."

"And all she has is an empty underworld and a cold prison."

"Ishtar! This is the jealousy of Ereshkigal!"

She was stunned, and then the resentment in her heart disappeared.

"I thought she wanted nothing."

"I am working hard and uncomplainingly to perform the duties entrusted by my father."

"I have never stayed in heaven, nor have I stayed on earth."

"Possessing herself in a girl like me, maybe this is her first time seeing the outside world."

"It turns out that after so many years, she hasn't grown up."

Thinking of this, Ishtar couldn't help but fall into sadness.

The question of the last door rang out.

"This question is for the vile goddess Ishtar."

"Why did you come to the underworld back then?"

"Is it because of the novelty? Or are you here to mock Ereshkigal?"

If it was Ishtar from before, she would definitely say angrily:

"I came here just to laugh at you! Poor Ereshkigal!"

But now, she didn't say such vicious words.

"Neither. I came to see you, Ereshkigal."

"I just want to tell you what the outside world is like."

"I just wanted to talk to you."

Ishtar's answer was not an option given by Shimen.

In theory, such flattering behavior will be punished.

But unexpectedly, the thunder from the underworld that was supposed to fall did not appear.

Instead, the stone door opened!

"Come in, I'll be waiting for you in the palace."

With just a few words, Ishtar was let go.

……

"Why, goddess of the underworld over there, I saw that you were in a very good mood just now?"

"Why the sudden silence now?"

Gilgamesh asked Ereshkigal mercilessly.

"Don't meddle in my business!"

A deep red flame emanated from the divine spear.

It formed a circle around Gilgamesh's gun cell, blocking his vision and isolating him from the sounds of the outside world.

"What a willful goddess, she actually uses the power of the underworld to do something like this!"

Gilgamesh had a headache, but there was nothing he could do.

In the underworld, Ereshkigal is the ruler.

"I hope you can make the right choice, Zhou Yi. The goddess in the north is still eyeing Uruk!"

……

Zhou Yi and Ishtar descended to the bottom of the underworld, where Ereshkigal's palace was located.

"Is this the palace of the goddess of the underworld you mentioned?"

“If you don’t know, you might think it’s just an ordinary wilderness!”

Zhou Yi looked at the desolate scene before him, not knowing what to say.

"Yes, this is the underworld. There is no gorgeous scenery, only dead silence."

"The gun prison accompanies her, don't you think?"

"Ereshkigal!"

Ereshkigal's voice came from midair.

"That's why I hate you so much!"

"Fear! Pray! Despair!"

"I am the manager of death! The mistress of the underworld!"

"The one who trampled on Lingfeng!"

"One of the three goddesses! Ereshkigal!"

A super huge Garula spirit appeared in front of Zhou Yi and Ishtar.

"Ailei, if I'm not mistaken, you didn't look like this that day!"

"Since I have already said that you are more beautiful than Ishtar, are you unwilling to show your true face in front of me?"

The movements of the Garula spirit in mid-air all stopped.

070 "You actually called me by that name! I can't do anything about you!"

"Since you ask so, I will fulfill your wish!"

Garula disappeared, and at the same time, a blonde woman wearing a black cloak and holding a magic spear slowly fell from the sky.

The Goddess of the Underworld is the counterpart of the Goddess of Venus. They have exactly the same figure and appearance, except for their clothes, hair color and temperament!

"Well, now that you have achieved your wish, you can go back now!"

"I like your honesty. If you retreat now, I can forgive you for trespassing into the underworld!"

"Of course, I can also pardon the stupid goddess next to you!"

After hearing this, Ishtar stared at Ereshkigal in front of her in amazement.

"How can you be so kind to a human?"

"And you're willing to pardon me! Have you changed your ways?"

Ishtar, who was only the size of a palm, flew in front of Ereshkigal and reached out her hand to touch her forehead.

"Gods don't get fevers!"

“Ishtar!!”

Ereshkigal grabbed her and rubbed her in his hands.

"I've tolerated you for so long! Why do you always come to hinder me!"

"I've already rejected you!"
