Two Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty-Four "7 Doors"

In the cold underground world, there are only lighthouse-like gun thresholds standing in all directions in a mess, and there are will-o'-the-wisps burning inside, illuminating the surroundings.

Luo Zhen and his party stopped fighting, watching this scene with a heavy heart.

because...

"What's in those gun gills is the soul of man."

Ishtar said these words in a tone that seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"The gun thresholds made by Ereshkigal are all prisons for imprisoning souls. The human souls locked inside can neither leave nor escape. They can only stay there forever and suffer from the cold." torture."

The underworld is originally a place without sunlight, and the fragrance of death is extremely strong, and the temperature is so low that ordinary human beings can't stand it, let alone a soul that has lost its body. A cold attack.

Therefore, the goddess of the underworld needs to create a gun prison, not to imprison the soul, but to preserve the soul and give the soul a comfortable place to live.

But from Ishtar's tone, she seemed to think that Ereshkigal would not do such a thing.

After all, the other party was cruelly killing himself. In Ishtar's mind, Ereshkigal must be a cruel and ruthless goddess, right?

That's what I said.

"Since you have already come to the underworld, even if you want to regret it, it's too late, I'll tell you first, if you really die here, then these will be your fate."

Ishtar pointed to those gun thresholds and said so.

"If you don't want to become like that, then struggle hard."

After speaking, Ishtar walked forward on his own.

Seeing this, Matthew quickly followed.

Luo Zhen also kept up, but was still confirming the current situation.

for example...

"How are you feeling, Altera?"

Luo Zhen asked another cavalry servant who silently guarded him in the form of a spirit body.

"No problem." Altila's voice sounded, and said lightly: "Although I also appear in the world as a heroic spirit,

And it also has divinity, but because of its own particularity, the laws of the underworld have limited effects on me. "

Attila's words finally made Luo Zhen feel relieved.

Anyway, if even Attila couldn't show his strength in the underworld, then when facing Ereshkigal, Rozen would have to show his true skills desperately.

Now, after confirming that Attila still has combat power, Luo Zhen is half relieved.

but...

"Speaking of which, if those gun thresholds are prisons for imprisoning souls, aren't there too many?"

"Indeed, just seeing [ ] along the way is too much to be bothered to count."

"Have there been so many dead on the ground?"

In the communicator, the voices of Olga Marie, Da Vinci, and Roman rang out one after another with doubts and depression.

Originally, after entering the underworld, everyone was worried that the communication of Chaldea would be disconnected, but fortunately, the underworld in this era is just the underground of Kuza and is on the same level, so the communication can still be maintained.

However, this may not be a good thing.

Just like now, seeing the real underworld, everyone in Chaldea feels depressed.

Ishtar was not surprised at all.

"What do you think is the situation now? You don't know how many humans have been killed by the pets of the Goddess of Warcraft, right? So what's so strange about the souls of the dead here?"

While leading the way, Ishtar talked eloquently.

"You should be thankful that all the necromantic monsters in the underworld seem to have been sent out by Ereshkigal, and now this place seems to be unimpeded, so just follow me obediently, and you can arrive after passing through the seven gates Ereshkigal's palace."

Hearing this, Matthew couldn't help but make a sound.

"Seven doors?"

Obviously, Matthew didn't know about it.

In the end, the people of Chaldea gave the answer.

"It refers to the seven gates of trials, right?" Da Vinci's voice sounded, and he said enthusiastically: "In the underworld in Sumerian mythology, there are seven gates of good and evil that can judge the soul. ?”

"That's right." Roman's voice followed suit, saying, "Those are seven fair and rational doors, and everyone who comes to the door will face the questions raised by the door."

"So, according to the different answers to the questions, people's good and evil will also be different?" Olga Marie said as if understanding: "After all, whether it is good or evil, its value is equal, and it will change. The only ones who choose them are the human beings who choose them, so the value of human souls will be different according to the different answers, is that the case?"

"Well, that's it." Ishtar said without interest: "In this way, the seven doors of good and evil that are used to judge people's souls are seven doors, and only through the seven doors can you see Ellie Shikigal, otherwise, you can only end up being frozen in the underworld until your soul is wiped out."

Speaking of this, Luo Zhen also glanced at Ishtar, and made a funny sound.

"According to the records in the myth, when the goddess Ishtar descended into the underworld, the first thing she encountered was the seven gates, but she ended up in bad luck, right?"

"Uh..." Ishtar's pretty face suddenly stiffened slightly.

"What's going on here?" Matthew asked without knowing why.

"It's very simple, because the seven gates are not just asking questions, but also a kind of trial." Luo Zhen said without any concealment: "Depending on the answer, the gate will make a different judgment. If the answer is honest, evil, hated by others, or jealous of heaven, the door will be punished. On the contrary, if the answer is sincere, kind, and satisfying to the goddess of the underworld, the door will automatically open. , to pass."

That being the case, the situation Ishtar encountered when he went down to the underworld is relatively easy to understand.

"Facing the seven doors of trials, the answer given by the great goddess Ishtar, who does not know how to advance or retreat, is naturally not a good thing. As a result, every time one passes through a door, one power will be taken away. Seven powers were taken away."

Rozen shrugged.

"And Ishtar carried seven powers at that time, so after passing through the seven gates, the goddess lost all powers and became extremely fragile. Even if she saw Ereshkigal, she would only It's just a bug that can be crushed to death."

Under such circumstances, there is no doubt about what will happen to Ishtar who broke into the underworld arrogantly.

The final result has also been given in the myth.

Ishtar was brutally killed in this way, and was not revived until Dumuzi, the shepherd god, took action.

This is the myth of the underworld of Ishtar.
