Public executions started with King Adonai

But because of this, the Red Kite Immortal was even more confused, because from the words of the herdsmen, although what Ishtar did was troublesome, it could not be called a natural disaster in terms of its severity.

So the question is, why is there such a huge gap in the evaluation of Ishtar?

Then, Fujimaru Tachibana spoke up, "Is it because of the influence of the possessed body? Miss Tōsaka Rin has influenced the personality of the goddess Ishtar."

Merlin smiled and nodded. "Yes, it was because of the girl who provided the body that her personality influenced the cold and cruel goddess Ishtar."

"I have to say, the owner of that body is truly powerful! He was able to have such a profound impact on Ishtar, the goddess of Venus."

"In fact, Ishtar's arrival in her current form was not her own idea."

"The priests of Kusa used ancient rituals to transcend time and space, calling upon the projection of the girl's body to descend upon this world. Using the girl's body as a vessel, they summoned the goddess Venus to descend upon this singularity."

"This is the cause and effect of Ishtar's arrival in this world, and also the reason why Kusa now nominally belongs to Ishtar."

"Unfortunately, Ishtar's arrival failed to protect Kusa, and Kusa was ultimately wiped out overnight."

Chapter 1009: The Death of Fujimaru Tachibana.jpg

In the real world, as Merlin recounted this unknown story, people immediately thought of the scene shown earlier, where Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, was summoned.

For a moment, those who didn't know that the goddess sisters Ishtar and Ereshkigal were two souls in the singularity were stunned.

Because many people speculated that it was the goddess of the underworld who was summoned at that time, not Ishtar.

However, Merlin now said that Ishtar was summoned at that time, and the truth about why she possessed the girl Tousaka Rin was also revealed.

This is very surprising. Why would this happen?

Could it be that the guess was wrong, and that the blonde goddess was not the goddess of the underworld, but was really Ishtar?

So, the destruction of the city-state of Kusa was caused by Ishtar?

No, it shouldn't be. After all, although Ishtar is willful, she is not the original scumbag goddess that Merlin mentioned. Instead, she is a goddess of goodness who has integrated the personality of Rin Tohsaka and is deeply influenced by Rin Tohsaka.

This person doesn't even want to kill ordinary people and will protect them. Even though her behavior is speechless, she is indeed protecting Uruk and the humans in the singularity.

There is no reason for Ishtar to suddenly become a butcher.

Therefore, the destruction of Kusa must have been done by other gods.

After pondering for a while, many people thought of Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld.

Even if the blonde goddess is not really the goddess of the underworld, the goddess of the underworld is fully capable and justified in taking action against Kusa.

Needless to say, as a member of the Three Goddesses Alliance, the most important thing is that since Kusa is nominally Ishtar's territory, the goddess of the underworld can easily attack Kusa.

Because the relationship between Ereshkigal and Ishtar in the myth can't be said to be that of sisters, but it can also be said that they are not sworn enemies.

The goddess Ishtar is the worst of the worst. There is reason to suspect that the bunch of scumbag gods in Greek mythology learned from Ishtar. It is likely that after seeing what the mythological predecessor Ishtar did, they were shocked and said that this is how a real god should do it, and then they learned from her and did it twice as much.

Just because Ishtar is a despicable person doesn't mean that other gods are also despicable. At least many gods in Sumerian mythology are good. Among them, Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, is an honest god with relatively positive values.

However, the so-called good people deserve to be pointed at guns. Because Ereshkigal is an honest child among the gods, she suffers all kinds of setbacks and becomes the bullied character in the sadistic novel who has to give all the good things to her fellow sisters.

In the end, Ereshkigal, who was unwilling to become the goddess of the underworld, was forced to become the god of the underworld. She was trapped in the underworld and could no longer leave. She could only live with death and loneliness in her eternal life.

In this situation, Ishtar, who had everything she wanted, even ran to the underworld and taunted Ereshkigal, causing Ereshkigal, who was overwhelmed, to kill Ishtar directly.

Although Ishtar was resurrected in the end, the relationship between the sisters became completely hostile.

Ereshkigal, who was never loved since birth and was always targeted, was jealous of Ishtar, who had everything she wanted and was favored by all the gods.

Ishtar, who had been spoiled to the point of being willful and reckless, could not accept being targeted and unloved by her own sister, and she hated Ereshkigal very much.

Given the situation of these sworn enemies, it was only natural that Ereshkigal would take action against the city-state of Kusa because of Ishtar.

As for the gods dragging innocent humans into this due to personal grudges...

To be honest, this is not a big deal in the mythology of various countries. Even in the mythology of Yan State, which has the highest moral standards among all countries, similar things happened.

As for the "moral benchmark", Greek mythology is the best among them, and there are similar things in Sumerian mythology.

For example, the despicable goddess Ishtar, because of her grudge with Gilgamesh, ordered the gods to punish others, resulting in the deaths of countless people.

It can be said that in the eyes of the gods, humans are really not much better than ants.

After a while, Fujimaru Tachibana and the others finally arrived at the city-state of Kusa.

This city built on the mountain has completely turned into a ghost town after several months. Just standing outside the city and looking inside, one can feel that it is dead and there is no sign of life.

Not only humans, but also animals, insects, and even plants cannot be seen.

After the death of everyone in the city, their bodies were collected by Uruk, so there is nothing left in the city now.

After several months, the city became dilapidated and covered with thick dust. It was a completely dead place, quiet and eerie.

This feeling of dead silence makes people feel instinctively uncomfortable. Even the more introverted Anna doesn't like the environment here.

Merlin: "Alright, everyone, hurry up! Although Kusa is not very big, it's not easy to find the Destiny Tablet here."

"Let's split up and search! Try to find it before nightfall, otherwise, something bad might happen at night."

After hearing this, everyone had no objection and immediately dispersed to look for the Clay Tablet of Destiny.

Since the city of Kusa is a city-state that truly belongs to this era, and is completely different from Uruk, which was built by Gilgamesh, it is just a standard urban village for modern people like Fujimaru Tachibana.

In this environment, even if something happens, we can arrive in time.

So, after Mashu gave Fujimaru Tachika a BUFF, they dispersed to a place not far from Fujimaru Tachika to search for the Tablet of Destiny, trying to speed up the search as much as possible.

Of course, mainly for safety reasons, Merlin arranged for Fujimaru Tachibana to search the outside areas, while the search tasks in the houses were completed by them.

In this case, there is naturally no problem with Fujimaru Tachibana's safety.

At least, everyone thought there was no problem. Among them, the cute Fu Fu chose to follow Fujimaru Tachibana and just lay on Fujimaru Tachibana's shoulder like a pendant.

Then, after searching for a while, Fujimaru Tachibana suddenly noticed something that seemed to be in the direction of the square, and walked over.

But after going there, he found nothing. Fujimaru Tachibana looked around in confusion and walked forward, and came to the steps that led down into a depression in the square.

The moment they stepped on the stairs, the expressions of Mashu and others in the city, and even those in Chaldea, changed drastically.

In Chaldea, Roman saw that the life detection device for Fujimaru Tachika suddenly sounded an alarm, and showed that Fujimaru Tachika's life information was gone. He was so scared that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly tried to contact the singularity to confirm Fujimaru Tachika's situation.

This is because it is impossible for life information to disappear suddenly, even if the electronic watch used for monitoring is lost.

There is only one possibility for this situation to occur, and that is - it was detected that Fujimaru Tachibana was dead!

Yes, only death will show such numbers!

Fujimaru Tachibana is dead!

This is undoubtedly a super horror story, a super frightening information that Chaldea absolutely cannot bear!

After learning all this, people in the real world were also shocked. They could not understand why Fujimaru Tachibana, who was fine just now, suddenly disappeared.

What on earth happened at that moment just now?

Mashu in the real world covered her mouth with a look of fear on her face: "Senior, dead? How, how is that possible?"

Beside her, Fujimaru Tachibana was also stunned. However, the girl had a good mental state. After being stunned, she quickly came to her senses and patted Mashu on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, trust me! I won't die that easily. You know, the image on the screen shows me being tricked by my brother!"

"Even though that guy always makes such self-indulgent sacrifices that I really want to beat him up, if I were to face a sudden death, he would definitely find a way to protect me!"

Unwavering belief, a trust that was even stronger than her own belief in herself.

……

The image on the light screen appeared, accompanied by the sudden death of Fujimaru Tachibana, and the camera switched back to Fujimaru Tachibana.

As a result, she saw that Fujimaru Tachibana was still there, but she found that the place she was in had changed.

We were supposed to be in the central square of Kusa City, but in the blink of an eye, we found that it was suddenly night.

Moreover, it was an incredibly dark night, and it was almost pitch black above and around her, making it impossible to see clearly. If Fujimaru Tachibana's body had not been strengthened by Honkai and had a certain night vision ability, she would not have been able to see the situation around her clearly.

Then, Fujimaru Tachibana saw that the surroundings were no longer Kusa Castle, but an area composed of one "mountain" after another. She was on one of the huge mountains, and below the mountain was a bottomless black abyss.

The abyss seemed to pull away people's souls. Just looking at it made people feel uncomfortable and miserable.

"Where...is this place? Why did I suddenly come here?"

Fujimaru Tachibana looked stunned and couldn't understand, and the background music became extremely ethereal and eerie, giving goosebumps to many people in the real world, who were also wondering where Fujimaru Tachibana had gone to.

Moreover, it was soon discovered that Fu Fu was also beside Fujimaru Rikka, lying on Fujimaru Rikka's shoulder as usual as a pendant.

At this time, the cute Fu Fu also made a Fu Fu sound and looked alert.

As for Fujimaru Tachibana, although he didn't know where this place was, he remained calm and didn't panic just because the others were gone.

After a little thought, Fujimaru Tachibana began to explore this unfamiliar underworld.

Soon, accompanied by a cold breath spreading from not far away, Fujimaru Tachibana and Fufu saw someone in front of them with his back to her.

If you see a figure at this time, you should be very surprised and go up to ask.

However, Fujimaru Tachibana was even more wary, and her deeply furrowed brows showed the girl's fear of the figure.

The girl's intuition warned her, and she couldn't help but think of the plots of various horror movies she had seen.

"Indeed, I feel like a poor, weak, and helpless female character in a horror story."

Muttering these words, Fujimaru Tachibana looked around and soon found a rock bigger than her head next to her.

At that moment, the girl picked up the stone with both hands, and tried the weight with one hand. She found that the weight was quite suitable. Except that the stone was unusually cold, everything else was fine, so she decided to use it.

The look of that strong woman makes it hard to know how to complain about her.

Even though he calls himself "pitiful, weak and helpless", should he then add "I can't bear to see the enemy suffer, so I decided to smash the enemy into a pulp and put an end to this suffering once and for all"?

Then, he walked forward cautiously and got a clear look at the mysterious man's situation in the process.

His back was always facing Fujimaru Tachibana, and he stood still without moving, but he was covered in a tattered cloak, which covered his body, making it difficult to see his specific appearance.

When the distance between the two was about ten meters, Fujimaru Tachibana stopped and shouted loudly, using this method to remind the other party and also to confirm that a safe distance was maintained.

This shout immediately woke up the man in the black cloak.

The man immediately turned around and looked back, and as expected, scared many people in the real world. Suddenly, people even had the illusion of seeing the classic "Smile Back" from Resident Evil for the first time.

Because it was a face so shriveled that no flesh could be seen, there was no nose, the eyes were dull, the pupils shrunk to a point, the mouth without lips was open, and only a few sparsely preserved teeth were visible.

Moreover, there is no breath at all, and it is as if humans do not exist in this monster.

When this person saw Fujimaru Tachibana, he was slightly stunned, and then, as if with endless resentment, he staggered towards Fujimaru Tachibana.

“Alive! Alive! Alive! Alive! Ahh ...

Later it turned into a hysterical scream, and the scream soon stopped because Fujimaru Tachibana threw the rock directly at him with an expressionless face.

The rock, which was bigger than Fujimaru Tachibana's head, seemed very light in the girl's hand. It flew out and knocked the man backwards, causing him to fall to the ground.

If a normal person were hit like this, he would either die or be disabled.

Even though that 'person's' chest was obviously sunken and was being pressed by the rock, he was still struggling, trying to stand up, clawing at the ground with his hands, kicking with his feet, staring at Fujimaru Tachibana with his eyes filled with endless hatred, as if he wanted to pull out Fujimaru Tachibana's tendons, peel off her skin, and tear her into pieces.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Tachibana complained: "It can be seen that you regard me as the enemy who killed your whole family. However, judging from your appearance, you are not human, so I won't say I'm sorry."

After saying these words that made many people in the real world either twitch their cheeks or burst out laughing, Fujimaru Tachibana prepared to take Fufu away.

Although I wanted to communicate with him at first, it was impossible to communicate with him given his irrational behavior.

However, as soon as he turned around, Fujimaru Tachibana saw that more than a dozen people in black cloaks who looked similar to the shriveled man had emerged from the surroundings out of nowhere.

Some of these guys even popped out directly from the rocks.

Moreover, when it first appeared, it was a dark blue flame, and then it turned into a human form.

It seems that this strange change has revealed the true identities of these people - they are indeed not human, but they should have been human, because they should all be dead, or ghosts!

“Why are there living people?”

"Living people! Living people! Ahhhhh~"

"So jealous! So jealous!"

"Why did we die and not you? Why did we have to die miserably while you are still alive?"
