Public executions started with King Adonai

It’s just that it wasn’t confirmed before, so we can only know it now.

Faced with such a situation, Fujimaru Tachibana found the person in charge of Ur City without hesitation.

She was a middle-aged woman who lived in a building in front of the city's central square. They were currently the managers of the city of Ur and were elected priests of the forest goddess.

This was found out by asking the citizens in the city. When Fujimaru Tachibana and the others found the priestess, the middle-aged woman and her two female servants were a little nervous. She was completely different from the priestess like Siduri who had a holy and wise temperament. It was obvious that she was just an ordinary person who was forcibly elected.

If we have to say, it is probably those who are more capable and prestigious among ordinary people, so they can be nominated.

It was fine for him to deal with ordinary things in the neighborhood, but when facing Fujimaru Tachibana and the others who were the "envoys of King Gilgamesh", he was obviously unable to hold on and his nervousness could not be concealed at all.

Forcing herself to face Fujimaru Tachibana and the others with all her nervousness, the priestess lowered her voice and said, "Messengers of King Gilgamesh, what may I ask for?"

Fujimaru Tachibana subconsciously looked at Merlin, and Merlin nodded seriously at the girl.

This should have been done by Merlin, the court mage, but as an assessment and training for Fujimaru Tachibana, it was all handed over to the girl.

So, Fujimaru Tachibana, who had already experienced a lot, stepped forward and said, "The following is what happened. We came to investigate the situation in Ur in the name of King Gilgamesh, but upon arrival, we found that the citizens here do not need rescue."

"So, we must know the reason. This is because the city of Ur, located southwest of Uruk, is absolutely outside the Warcraft front. It is very important, so we must investigate it thoroughly."

Hearing this, the priestess pursed her lips, and the two maids could not help but speak, saying nervously that the city of Ur was safe and they did not need help because they had the protection of the Forest Goddess. They only needed to abide by the rules set by the Forest Goddess and they could live here safely, and even monsters would not attack them.

After learning this information, Fujimaru Tachibana fell silent, and the others also observed silently.

Then, Fujimaru Tachibana closed his eyes and said, "I... don't know much about the theocratic societies of ancient times, but I have also been crammed with a lot of knowledge in order to deal with various situations."

"Although I still have only a limited understanding of the myths of various countries, I do know that in ancient times, if the gods wanted to protect humans, humans had to offer sacrifices."

"And in the mythologies of various nations, the South American mythology system is filled with numerous instances of human sacrifice. Even the so-called empires of the Maya, Aztec, and Inca empires practiced human sacrifice as a national policy."

When they said this, the three women began to tremble.

Then, Fujimaru Tachibana opened his eyes and stared at the three people. "Men are already extremely scarce in this city. So, how many sacrifices did you make to gain the protection of the forest goddess?"

The women didn't dare to meet Fujimaru Tachibana's sharp gaze and looked away one after another.

Merlin also spoke at this time: "Judging from the ratio of young men and women in this city, about one sacrifice per day."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became extremely depressing, and many people in the real world gasped and felt their scalps tingling.

A living sacrifice every day?

What evil god?

Did ancient South Americans believe in such gods? Did they actually perform sacrifices in this way?

Sure enough, it is not unreasonable to be destroyed by the civilized world. Such a barbaric civilization deserves to be destroyed!

The above is what some people think.

However, there are some people who have a broader vision and see more, and they think that one person a day is not really that much.

If it can really protect a country from suffering from good weather, peace and prosperity, it would be a deal that could not be more profitable.

After all, living sacrifices do not necessarily require good citizens or soldiers from one's own country; criminals or prisoners of the enemy country can be used as substitutes.

If you think about it this way, let alone one person a day, even ten people a day would be a good deal. After all, even if ten people were sacrificed a day, that would only be 3,650 people a year.

Such a death toll is nothing, not to mention in places with ancient population explosions like the monster house in East Asia, even in sparsely populated Europe. If it can really be exchanged for peace and prosperity, countless countries will go crazy for it.

Rather, the Europeans have already done it.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just look at what crazy things those people in Europe did in the name of God in ancient times!

If we compare these massacres caused by human greed and corrupted faith to the human sacrifices in South America, they can be seen as a kind act.

Of course, this is all from the perspective of ancient society, but from the perspective of modern values, all of these are insane and evil acts.

So, at this moment, the Leopard Man, who had previously won a lot of favor because of his funny behavior, was instantly labeled as an evil god.

……

From the image on the light screen, Fujimaru Tachibana was already frowning deeply, Mashu was even showing a look of fear and reluctance, and Fu Hua was also frowning slightly.

Only Anna remained calm. After all, she was a girl who hated humans. Even if she had a good impression of humans because of Uruk's kindness, it was only limited to Uruk's special supply, and the city of Ur was not Uruk.

Then, several women became excited and argued that there was no other way. If they wanted to survive in Ur and keep Ur alive in this turmoil, living sacrifices were a necessary price. This was a deal with the forest goddess.

Moreover, all those who became sacrifices did so voluntarily.

This may be true. After all, in this doomsday, which is an era with simple folk customs, there will definitely be people willing to stand up and sacrifice themselves in order to keep their families and fellow tribesmen alive.

In the story, it is also revealed where the sacrificed people went - the Temple of Eridu, which is the central temple of the ancient and long-standing Sumerian city-state of Eridu in Mesopotamia.

In Sumerian mythology, this temple was founded by the water god Enki and was the southernmost of the Sumerian city-states.

Today, this city-state is also covered by the original jungle from 65 million years ago, and it has become the territory of Quetzalcoatl.

It can be seen that several women who were forced to do so were actually resistant to this matter, and their husbands had even been sent there as sacrifices.

I almost cried while saying these words.

The priestess hugged her two forced servants and said in a sad and helpless voice, "For weak humans, there is simply no way. We cannot resist the will of the forest goddess, and we have no way to resist the will of the even more terrifying, devil-like goddess to the south."

"So, everyone, please go back."

"There's no hope for Ur, no, for all of Mesopotamia. Now, we're just struggling to survive..."

An atmosphere of sadness and despair spread as these words came to light. Even Heaven seemed unable to bear this atmosphere. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered and it began to rain.

No one moved in the heavy rain, as if they needed the rain to wash away the negative emotions in their hearts.

Then, in this situation, with a burst of laughter, the leopard man suddenly appeared in the lightning and thunder.

He was standing on the tallest building next to the square, laughing arrogantly, but there was a hint of silliness in his laughter.

Then, when everyone looked at the leopard man, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and said in a very arrogant manner: "Hahaha~~ It's the sacrifice, you don't have to worry!"

"After all, if I kill a living sacrifice, I'll be called a fogey!"

"I just brought them to Kukul and handed them over to him!"

Chapter 998 Leopard Man vs. Fu Hua

The light screen image, when the leopard man appeared and said these words, his true identity was revealed.

The forest goddess who 'protects' the city of Ur is none other than the leopard man!

Faced with this leopard man, the three clergymen who were obviously forced to do something unexpected could not help but show fear. They quickly shrank back, looking extremely frightened, and shouted the words of "Forest Goddess" in a trembling voice.

This confirms the identity of the Leopard Man.

Fujimaru Tachibana also caught the meaning of the leopard man's words and immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Are you saying that you didn't kill those people who were used as sacrifices?"

"So, what about those people you took away?"

Upon hearing this, the Leopard Man chuckled and said, "Of course, it's forced labor in the Eridu Temple!"

Mashu's eyes lit up: "So, everyone is still alive?"

The Leopard Man stood in the rain with his hands on his hips and said arrogantly, "Of course. As a gourmet, I only enjoy the heart of a hero!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped directly into the air, and then landed directly in the center of the square. With a loud bang, he smashed the ground of the square, stirring up billowing smoke and dust in the rain, but because it was in the rain, it was quickly suppressed.

The leopard man stood up energetically: "I like birds, I like fish, and I can eat people."

When he said this, Fujimaru Tachibana frowned slightly again, and the leopard man noticed it keenly. He paused and then continued.

"Although I haven't eaten humans since arriving in the singularity, I did eat humans before!"

"Anyway—leopard warrior, teleport here!"

As he spoke, he spun around N times on the spot, and finally struck a pose similar to Kamen Rider's transformation.

It's really too funny, full of comedy elements.

It's these words about "eating people" that make people feel disgusted.

Fortunately, it was also added that it did not eat humans after arriving at the singularity, which was obviously due to the effect of possessing the human body.

If you think about it carefully, it is normal to eat humans, because the leopard man is just a special form of human possession. He is actually the jaguar, the incarnation of Tezcatlipoca.

For people in the real world, this brought back the goodwill that had previously declined.

Regardless of the original divine posture, at least the leopard man existing in the singularity is not a man-eating evil god.

Although forcing people to do labor is not a good thing, it was very normal in the evil ancient slave society.

Not everyone can accept it, but a large number of people have turned for the better.

Especially for Fujimura Taiga, she was so excited that she almost cried.

After all, if the leopard man really eats people, the thought of the other party using his own body to eat people would undoubtedly be a psychological trauma for Fujimura Taiga, and he would have nightmares for the rest of his life.

It is highly likely that the energetic female teacher will directly become the depressed life of the Black Guardian Shirou Emiya in the world line.

Now...

Well, even if the leopard man really killed someone, it’s not unacceptable.

Classic compromise thinking.

You can’t open the window, but if you lift the roof as well, you can open the window.jpg.

……

The image on the screen, and the Leopard Man's antics, caused the audience to freeze for a moment. After a while, the Leopard Man fixed his gaze on Fujimaru Tachibana, then stopped posing and scratched his head, saying, "That's weird. Why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

"I've clearly never seen you before, but my instincts, sharper than those of the strongest beasts, are telling me that I have definitely seen you."

"Hey, hey, hey, human, who are you?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then they thought of the events of the first timeline. At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka said, "My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, and I think your intuition is correct, because I may have seen you before."

The leopard man's eyes lit up and he ran over, causing everyone to be alert.

However, its speed was so fast that it almost instantly reached a place about two meters in front of Fujimaru Tachibana.

Then, he looked up and down at Fujimaru Tachibana carefully, and the tiger tail behind him kept swinging, looking very energetic.

Moreover, she made sounds like humming and hmmming, which showed that she was observing and thinking carefully.

After a while, he crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Very good, I understand. I have definitely never seen you in this singularity."

"But, I should have seen it in other places, in other time and space, right?"

Fujimaru Tachibana nodded.

I didn’t mention the first timeline, after all, I’m not familiar with the Leopard Man.

The Leopard Man nodded: "Okay, I understand. Then, let's fight!"

Everyone: "...?"

The leopard man chuckled, jumped back, put some distance between them, and a weapon appeared in his hand.

It was something similar in style to the leopard man's tiger pajamas, a stick with a Q-version tiger claw 'decoration' on the top.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, the leopard man chuckled and said, "Fujimaru Ritsuka, although you and I may have a connection in other time and space."

"But my mission here is to protect this forest."

"I won't allow you to take away the living sacrifice!"

"After all, if I do that, all my efforts so far will be in vain."

At this point, she suddenly revealed a look of fear and frustration, "Besides, Kukul will make me cry..."

Fujimaru Tachibana: "It's Kukul again... Could this Kukul be..."

Merlin nodded and whispered, "Yes, Quetzalcoatl, as the supreme god of South America, has different names in different civilized countries."

"Kukulkan is his name, and so is Quetzalcoatl."

Fujimaru Tachika understood: "I see, taking people away for 'living sacrifice' was the Quetzalcoatl's request, and the Leopard Man was just the executor?"

Across from him, the leopard man raised his head again, his fighting spirit restored. He put away his playful smile and wore a serious expression. "This is our world, the land of spiral snakes."

"A human being who cannot discern the definition of God—Fujimaru Ritsuka, take your people and leave immediately!"

The ones who answered the leopard man were Mashu, who stood in the middle with a shield, Anna on the left, and Fu Hua on the right, who were in a fighting stance.

Seeing this, the Leopard Man understood and loudly declared the will of God: "As long as we have the protection of the forest, our sun is invincible!"
