Public executions started with King Adonai

Ereshkigal: "??? Once? W-What are you talking about? Did we ever know each other?"

Fujimaru Tachibana stared at Ereshkigal silently, and the latter also looked at Fujimaru Tachibana with a confused look, and was thinking hard, as if trying to recall the memory of Fujimaru Tachibana.

Then, Ereshkigal responded: "Hmm... I think, I've seen him somewhere before? Hmm... I think, he has a name... uh, what was it? Fujimaru... something like that?"

A look of distress and even confusion emerged on her face. A name that should not have existed was transmitted through the goddess's divine core in her body, as if trying every possible means to make her remember the other person's name.

It is a precious memory that transcends time and space. Even if it has been forgotten due to the change of the timeline, it should still be engraved in the soul of God.

Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka gave the answer: "Fujimaru Ritsuka, I am Fujimaru Ritsuka. As for my memories, it is because of this singularity that I do not belong to the present time and space. Instead, I was pulled from the past to the present in a reversed time and space."

"In the first timeline that has been changed and has become the past, my companions and I also arrived at this singularity and interacted with everyone in this singularity."

"I think it was at that time that I formed a friendship with you, Ailei!"

"After all, with a girl as cute as Ailei, even if we fight against you as enemies, we will definitely become friends in the end."

Ereshkigal was stunned by what she heard. Then, the hazy memories in her mind finally found a clear anchor, allowing her to realize many things. A look of sudden realization crossed her face. "So, that's how it is?"

"Uh……"

Finally, I was a little confused again.

Although the fragmented memories in her mind had become somewhat clearer with the help of a reference object, what puzzled Ereshkigal was whether there was really only one person, Fujimaru.

Why does it feel like there are two people?

Moreover, the name Fujimaru Ritsuka always feels like it belongs to a young boy.

Thinking of this, Ereshkigal couldn't help but ask curiously, "Um, Fujimaru, do you have any brothers or sisters?"

Fujimaru Tachibana was stunned when she heard this, a little confused by this strange question, but she still shook her head and gave an answer: "No, I'm a single woman. However, if you want to talk about cousins, I do have some."

Ereshkigal: "Oh, I see..."

Hmm... Is there really something wrong with those memory fragments?

As expected, when time and space are reversed, even gods will be affected.

Ereshkigal felt that she had discovered the truth. There must be something wrong with her memory. There should be only one Fujimaru, and that was the Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of her.

However, if that's the case, then in another timeline, she should be good friends with the girl in front of her?

Wow...

Suddenly I felt my heart beating faster. This body should belong to a human, why is it reacting so strongly?

It’s so strange, my heartbeat is getting faster and faster, and my face is a little hot, what’s going on?

So weird...

Ereshkigal's pretty face grew redder and redder, and she felt that she was becoming increasingly abnormal after learning the truth.

Ereshkigal's performance shocked and even amazed the people in the real world.

After all, whether it is Gilgamesh and Merlin, or Quetzalcoatl, they actually exist as this singularity and have no relevant memories of Fujimaru Tachibana.

The reason why I know about Fujimaru is because I learned it through various means, not because I have any relevant memories.

After all, they were in the 'past' and should not have any memory of the 'future'.

However, Ereshkigal overturned this perception.

This very cute, innocent and easy-to-conquer goddess of the underworld can actually remember everything about Fujimaru, and she remembers everything about the brother and sister.

Even if it's just scattered memories, it's still so surprising that I don't know how to evaluate it.

How deep is this bond?

Could it be that in the first timeline, Ereshkigal's bond with the Fujimaru siblings had already reached the maximum point of 15?

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how Ereshkigal was able to make memories emerge directly from the Goddess's divine core.

This is something that other goddesses have not done!

Chapter 1015: Ereshkigal's Loneliness and Pain

Ereshkigal was delighted by the images on the screen.

As the goddess of the underworld, although she is a country girl who has never seen the world, she also knows the truth that there is a timeline in the world and that the timeline will be reset.

Ereshkigal even knew the truth that the authority to reset the timeline was held by an organization called Destiny.

This "Destiny" is the guardian of the world selected by the world, among whom are all kinds of demons and monsters, and it is a collection of guardians.

In fact, originally "Destiny" did not exist, but because of certain events, the creators of "Destiny" appeared, and concluded a contract with the world itself, and finally constructed "Destiny".

It seemed that there were many secrets hidden within it, but Ereshkigal was unaware of them.

After all, as a goddess destined from birth to rule the underworld and sent to the underworld shortly after her birth, Ereshkigal, who had spent almost her entire life in the Sumerian underworld, truly had no idea of these things.

At Fujimaru Tachibana's request, Ereshkigal said, "Since you say so, as the God of the Underworld, I will naturally be magnanimous," and sent all the summoned skeletons back to the Underworld.

When everyone in the battle saw that all the skeleton soldiers had disappeared, they knew that the goddess of the underworld must have done something, so they went back.

Then, what was seen was Fujimaru Tachibana untying Ereshkigal, and during this process, Ereshkigal's pretty face flushed, her body stiffened, and she looked nervous and excited.

Judging from this reaction, it seems that he has been conquered.

Mashu instantly entered the "alert" state and felt the orange aura of the same kind.

As for Anna and Fu Hua, they were a little worried, fearing that the goddess of the underworld would suddenly attack after being released, so they were ready for battle.

However, Ereshkigal would not do so. After being released, the innocent goddess of the underworld pretended to be a little arrogant and said, "Since it has come to this, I will generously forgive your rude behavior."

What is shown is a cute version of saying one thing and doing another.

Even Fujimaru Tachibana could tell that Ereshkigal was just being shy and stubborn, and didn't care.

Of course, Fujimaru Tachibana didn't notice that Ereshkigal had some strange feelings towards her. After all, the girl was a very normal person and believed that all girls had friendships and there was no such thing as feelings beyond friendship.

Then, Fujimaru Rikka asked the question she had always wanted to ask: "Erei, tell me, were the people of Kusa killed by you?"

This direct question made people in the real world sweat, and the people in the light screen image became even more nervous.

Ereshkigal was a little nervous at this question, but she still answered, "Yes, that's what I did. They asked for salvation, so I saved them in my own way!"

Rescue? What kind of rescue is this?

Everyone showed an incredible expression, and the real world was also silent.

Is it really...she who did it?

To be honest, this was unexpected. After all, she had acted so naive before. Such a lovely girl, everyone naturally thought that she was not the kind of cruel god who killed people without blinking an eye.

Who would have known that the innocent and cute girl could still be a butcher of humans!

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

Ereshkigal immediately sensed the change in atmosphere and spoke cautiously, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Fujimaru Tachibana stared into Ereshkigal's panicked eyes and asked, "Ereshkigal, can you tell us why you call killing those people 'salvation'?"

Upon hearing this, Ereshkigal said, "Isn't this obvious? The world is about to end, and the living will only suffer terribly."

"Many times, life is worse than death, and even the soul is incomplete when we die."

"I've seen many people with incomplete souls in the underworld. They won't even find peace after death. They will only be completely annihilated in pain. Even I can't save them!"

"So, it would be better for me to take their lives directly and let their souls enter the underworld intact. This way, there will be no pain and they can also obtain eternal peace!"

"Isn't this saving those who, if they continue to live, will inevitably die in pain, and their souls will be incomplete?"

After hearing Ereshkigal's words, everyone was stunned.

This……

According to what Ereshkigal said, this is really salvation in another sense?

It's just too raw.

Since we cannot solve the problem of humans being slaughtered, why do we kill the intact humans before they are slaughtered? This will ensure the integrity of the human soul and peace after death?

hiss~~

It makes so much sense, the logic is complete, and it’s convincing... Bullshit!

Isn't this just like The Lion King?

The Lion King is unable to solve the problem of human extinction, so he makes selected humans into "living specimens" and takes them to the next era, while the remaining humans are "judged" to end human suffering.

What Ereshkigal and the Lion King did were very similar.

All I can say is that they are both gods, whether it is Ereshkigal, the innate god, or the Lion King, the acquired goddess, their thinking logic is exactly the same.

It's so annoying that I can't even complain!

It's really 'MD is amazing'.

Fujimaru Tachibana raised his forehead.

The others were also speechless.

Especially for Mashu and Fu Hua, two "girls" who had experienced or heard about what the Lion King had done, they didn't know what to say.

The thinking patterns of these gods cannot be understood by common sense.

In other words, humans and gods are essentially different.

Ereshkigal truly believed that she was saving humanity, not brutally killing them, and from her perspective as the goddess of the underworld, this made sense.

After all, as long as souls can enter the underworld intact, then Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, can give those souls true peace.

Realizing this, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Ereshkigal. They didn't know whether to blame her, sigh, or feel disappointed.

For Fujimaru Tachibana, such a situation did not require much consideration. She gave a direct answer: "No, Elle, this is not salvation. At least, it is not salvation for humans."

"What you did was simply killing a group of humans who shouldn't have died at that time."

"Even if you have good intentions, what you did is undoubtedly evil!"

After hearing Fujimaru Tachibana's ruthless denial, Ereshkigal's pretty face instantly turned pale, as if she had received a huge blow.

This was absolutely unacceptable to Ereshkigal. The girl felt a strong sense of suffocation, which was simply unbearable for her.

It wasn't that he was blamed, but that he was denied by Fujimaru Tachibana.

Fujimaru Tachibana couldn't understand what kind of position she held in Ereshkigal's heart.

Nor could he understand the extent to which her denial had wounded Ereshkigal's young heart.

And then, Ereshkigal, looking pale, felt her head buzzing, and she didn't want to listen to Fujimaru Rikka's next words.

She lowered her head, letting her bangs cover her eyes, and then...

She turned around, opened a dark passage, and suddenly rushed into the passage, then closed the passage, leaving no chance for anyone to stop her or call out to her.

The suddenness of the situation left everyone stunned. No one had expected Ereshkigal to suddenly run away without giving anyone a chance to call out to her.

This was so surprising that no one could react.

After a long pause, Mashu asked weakly, "Um, what you said seems to have angered Miss Ereshkigal..."

Fujimaru Tachibana said helplessly: "I just said that it's wrong to do so, and I didn't say anything harsh..."

Fu Hua said thoughtfully, "That goddess of the underworld cares a lot about Ms. Lixiang's opinion."

Anna: "...the incomprehensible goddess of the underworld."

Merlin spread his hands. "No way. This is the goddess of the underworld. Besides, gods' thinking and values are completely different from humans'. Using human values to evaluate gods is foolish in itself."

This seemed to be a sharp criticism of Fujimaru Tachibana's words, saying they were too harsh, not considering Ereshkigal's point of view, or rather, considering it from a human perspective, which was problematic in itself.

The others looked at Merlin with dissatisfaction, thinking that Merlin was making sarcastic remarks.

However, Fujimaru Tachibana seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly a sentence popped up in his mind.

“Never forget that it is folly to talk humanely to God.”

This is what Wang Hassan said.

On that day, in the alley of Uruk, I said these words to Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu.

At first, I couldn’t understand it.
