Chapter 212 Ishtar: Let’S Divide The Property And Disperse!
"please wait a while!"
Matthew suddenly spoke and looked at Ishtar, who was confirming the news with Quezar.
She said hesitantly while recalling the information she had collected.
"The Three Goddess Alliance does not refer to the goddess Gorgon, Quetzalcoatl, and..."
Meeting Mashu's somewhat doubtful gaze, Ishtar also had a blank expression on her face.
She pointed at herself with a white finger and said in hindsight.
"I'm not."
"Eh?!!"
Matthew was shocked.
Seeing this, Quezal also put his hand on his chest and explained to several people.
"The alliance of the three goddesses is Gorgon, me, and Ereshkigal."
Everyone's faces showed expressions of surprise.
Before, they only knew that the three goddesses formed the Three Goddess Alliance, and Ishtar was also a genuine goddess, so they preconceptionally thought that she was one of them.
But now that Quezal said this...were their suspicions wrong?!
Ishtar is not a member of the Three Goddess Alliance. The last goddess of the Three Goddess Alliance has another god?!
"But isn't it true that the only remaining Sumerian divinity in this era is the Ishtar people?"
Curious Baby Mathew asked a question.
“Maybe it’s because of Ishtar.
Merlin explained on the side.
The two gods Ereshkigal and Ishtar are sisters in mythology. At the same time, Ishtar is called the mistress of heaven, and Ereshkigal is the mistress of the underworld.
Ishtar symbolizes human life, and Elekhil symbolizes human death.
Heaven and earth, life and death.
The two pillars of gods are opposite to each other, but they are interdependent, integrated externally and internally, and have the same divinity.
"Ishtar came through a ritual performed by 29 shrine maidens. When her summoning was successful, the chief shrine maiden in charge of the ritual died, right?"
"I think it was Ereshkigal, the other pillar god who existed in the body, who did it at that time."
Merlin said.
The god's general ceremony itself carries a huge burden. At that time, it was thought that the witch could not bear death, but now it seems that she may have been taken away by Ereshkigal.
Everyone nodded in understanding, and after a long fuss, it turned out that there was a fourth god hidden!
Ishtar had a confused look on his face, feeling a little hairy all over.
That Ereshkigal is actually in the same body as his cook!
"Well.........if you're talking about the miko chief, she's not dead.
From the side, Siduli's voice suddenly came.
The expression on Merlin's face suddenly froze, and he turned around and shouted.
"How can it be?!"
"That's true. Originally we thought she could not bear the burden of the seance ceremony and died, but just when we were preparing to bury her, she suddenly came back to life. I remember reporting this, Wang. Didn't I tell you...
Siduli held a clay tablet in her hand and looked up past records.
I remember that this incident caused a sensation at the time. People thought it was a gift from the gods.
"I was outside at that time..."
Merlin put his hand on his forehead in despair, what's going on!
I didn’t know about such an important thing until now!
"But in this case, the existence of Ereshkigal should also be confirmed, right? After all, it even came back from the dead.
Matthew on the side helped comfort Merlin, which made him feel much better.
At the very least, I was right about the existence of Ereshkigal.
"Merlin, did you suddenly ask this question before because you thought Ereshkigal did it?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka thought and looked at Merlin.
As expected, the other party also nodded in affirmation.
"Yes, the purpose of the Three Goddess Alliance is to exterminate mankind, so I think the sudden death of King Gilgamesh may be Ereshkigal's first step."
"For this reason, I specifically asked if anyone else died unexpectedly in Siduli City, but the result was no."
If it was Ereshkigal who did it, then in order to erase humanity, the other party should not just kill Gilgamesh.
But not only were there no other victims in the royal capital, but even the dead miko chief was resurrected.
What is this scenario?
Merlin frowned, feeling that he was a little confused about the situation.
"I think you are right, Merlin. Although the Three Goddess Alliance is nominally to kill their own kind, they have different ideas. For example, wouldn't I still join you?"
"And Ereshkigal is no longer the god of the Three Goddess Alliance."
With a smile on his face, Quezal revealed another shocking news.
This sentence was like a bomb, instantly causing a huge sensation in the silent hall.
"Ereshkigal is not a member of the Three Goddesses Alliance? What's going on! Who is the last pillar goddess!?"
Everyone was at a loss.
Didn’t we say before that the last one to return to the Three Goddess Alliance is Ereshkigal?
Why isn't it happening now?
Everyone looked at Quetzal, eagerly waiting for an answer.
"Eh? Didn't I say that?"
However, facing the longing eyes of everyone, Quezal did tap his lower lip with a surprised look on his face.
“Not at all!!!”
Everyone was stunned, they didn’t know the news at all!
I didn’t even know the existence of Ereshkigal before!
"Okay, okay, in short, Ereshkigal was indeed a member of the Three Goddess Alliance before, but since that day, she suddenly contacted us and publicly stated her withdrawal from the alliance."
Quetzal waved his hand casually, not feeling the slightest guilt for forgetting such important news.
Everyone just felt tired, but there was nothing they could do.
"If I'm not wrong, there should be a covenant between the three goddess alliances, right?"
Merlin continued to ask.
"Of course."
Quetzal nodded.
There are two young men in the Three Goddess Alliance, and Gorgon is not a fool, so how could they not have established covenant restrictions.
"In that case, if Ereshkigal withdraws from the alliance, won't he be punished by the alliance?"
"Of course the punishment came, but it had no effect on Ereshki."
Speaking of this, Quezal couldn't help but show a shocked expression on her face. She recalled the time when Ereshkigal summoned them and openly claimed to withdraw from the alliance.
At that time, she thought this goddess was crazy!
But the result was beyond her expectation.
The punishment that could wipe out a god had no impact on Ereshkigal!
While feeling emotional in his heart, Quezal did not forget to tell everyone what happened.
As expected, no one expected this result, and they all looked surprised.
"Is it possible that Ereshkigal is so powerful?"
"Isn't that a normal thing? That guy in Ereshkigal is the goddess of the underworld. As long as he is in the underworld, he is an invincible existence. Isn't it just a covenant that can be captured?"
Ishtar waved his hand indifferently.
Although she and Ereshkigal don't get along very well, they have to admit that in the underworld, the other party is invincible.
Even if you are yourself, you have to shed a layer of skin!
"No, the covenant is not something that can be resisted in this way."
Merlin's face was serious. He looked at Quetzal and continued to ask.
"Quezal, are you sure that Ereshkigal used a kind of power to directly eliminate the punishment imposed by the covenant?"
"Yes."
"To this day, when I recall the scene at that time, I still feel a little palpitated. If that kind of power were released without reservation, I am afraid that even I would be completely erased and return directly... …”
Quezal's tone paused, and then he shrugged helplessly as if giving up.
"No, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to return to the Hall of Valor. Even my existence itself will be directly erased, right?"
"What?!!"
The Chaldean duo were both wide-eyed and horrified.
They are familiar with the existence of heroic spirits. They are shadows engraved in human history. It is those heroes who ascended to the Hall of Valor after death and were promoted to heroic spirits.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the traces they left in human history have not disappeared, the body in the Hall of Valor has not disappeared.
So even if they die in battle, they will only return to the Hall of Valor temporarily.
You can always wait for the next arrival.
But now, Quetzal actually said that the power possessed by Ereshkigal could completely erase the existence of the heroic spirit?
How can this be?!!
"It makes no sense! It's impossible! When did that gloomy goddess of Ereshkigal become so powerful?!"
Ishtar covered her head in pain, feeling that this singularity was a bit evil.
No, it’s not a little bit, it’s simply too evil!
Why didn't she know that Ereshkigal had such powerful abilities?
Fujimaru Ritsuka noticed that Meilin had lowered his head and said nothing since he didn't know when, as if he was thinking about something, so he asked.
"Merlin, are you thinking about something with that expression on your face?"
"?DEL......"
Merlin was stunned for a moment before reacting and looking at everyone.
"Do you still remember what the king told me before? According to Quetzal's description, the time when the king observed that great power was the time when Ereshkigal withdrew.
"So I'm thinking that maybe the true form of that great existence is in Hades."
The hall suddenly fell into silence.
Originally, the term "underworld" was enough to make people feel heavy and frightened.
As a result, you are now telling me that there may not be something more terrifying hidden in Hades...
Everyone feels that the future is bleak.
Finally, Ishtar raised her hand.
"Um...why don't we just ignore that guy Gilgamesh? It's time to break up.
"Anyway, Gilgamesh's treasure trove was not taken to the underworld. Let's divide it. You return to your Chaldea, and Merlin returns to your Avalon..."
803 "I will continue to be my mistress of heaven. Isn't this good?"
The current underworld sounds like a dragon's den and a tiger's den. If you break into it, aren't you asking for death?!
She has long been coveting Gilgamesh's king's treasure house, which is said to have collected all the treasures in practice, and now there is an opportunity, so why not steal it quickly?
Well, she didn't steal this. Gilgamesh had already agreed to give her the treasure in the treasury.
Besides, who is she Ishtar?
As a god
As a mistress, it is natural for her to fly in the sky, so what is the point of going down to the gloomy ground?!
Ishtar found a suitable reason for herself in her heart.
Whatever is special, let me crawl on it!
But unfortunately, her suggestion was rejected.
"If you want to conquer this unique point, no matter what, the goddess Ereshkigal is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed."
Merlin held the staff and shrugged helplessly.
Both Ereshkigal and Gilgamesh are crucial to the next plan.
"Ah! Never mind! You can do whatever you like! I won't accompany you anyway! Let those two annoying guys play in the underworld by themselves!"
Ishtar crossed her arms and planned to run away.
Anyway, she didn't feel good about Kimpika and Ereshkigal, so she just let them go dog-eat-dog!
"This is not possible, Ishtar, we have to ask you to take us to the underworld."
Merlin stopped her.
There is no way, they are unfamiliar with this place, and they don’t know where the underworld is.
He raised his eyebrows at Mashu, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others next to him, and they immediately understood.
Fujimaru Ritsuka began to praise.
"The goddess Ishtar is so powerful! She has bravely entered the underworld in mythology! She is just taking us to the underworld, so she won't refuse, right?"
"No, that's right! Goddess Ishtar is the strongest!"
The innocent Matthew also had to speak without conscience, feeling a sense of guilt in his heart.
Under the crazy prodding of the group, Ishtar quickly became ecstatic and agreed.
"Hahaha! There is really no way! Since you have said so, then as a goddess, I will satisfy your thoughts!"
And at the same time, in the underworld.
Gilgamesh slowly opened his eyes, but found that something seemed wrong with the situation in front of him.
