Two Thousand Four Hundred and Seventy-Five, Sign a Contract with Me

In Sumerian mythology, Ishtar is an undoubted philanthropic person who has courted many gods and heroes, and is quite capricious and unrestrained.

Then, as the half body of Ishtar, with its appearance and inner existence, how could Ereshkigal not be fraternal?

It's just that, unlike Ishtar, Ereshkigal's fraternity is aimed at ordinary humans.

As a goddess of the underworld, she neither loves heroes nor gods, but just ordinary human beings.

"Because I am the goddess in charge of death, embracing death, accepting death, this is my divinity."

"For me like this, what I see the most is not the death of gods, let alone the death of heroes, but the death of you as fragile and ordinary human beings."

"Perhaps, for you humans, death is a fearful and terrifying thing, but for me, death is worthy of respect and an existence that must be guarded."

"Since that's the case, how can I not love deeply for you human beings who are destined to die?"

At this moment, Ereshkigal confided his inner voice.

"Don't let death fall into abominable fear, show respect to it, and at the same time must protect these remaining souls, this is me, the goddess of the underworld——Ereshkigal."

"So, when you learn that human history has been destroyed and that human beings will eventually disappear on the ground, can you imagine how sad and painful I am?"

"Seeing that there are fewer and fewer human beings on the ground, either they are captured by the monsters of the goddess of monsters and used as fertilizer to make new monsters, or they are brutally torn to death by monsters, how can I not feel angry?"

"But I can't change anything, because I can't leave the underworld, I can only manage the undead here forever."

Under such circumstances, it is already obvious what decision Ereshkigal will make.

"What I said before was not all lies. At least, seeing human beings being killed so cruelly, I really thought, if this ending can't be changed, then it's up to me to give human beings an eternal sleep without pain and silence. And then try to bring all the human souls to the underworld for protection."

"Even if no one understands me, even if tens of thousands of souls in this world isolate me, I will protect this silence."

"This is my persistence as the goddess of the underworld, and it is also my only sliver of help to you."

"That's why I joined the ."

Ereshkigal's words made everyone silent one after another.

"Miss Ereshkigal..."

Matthew looked complicated.

"..."

Attila, Liang Ri, Ishtar and others also looked at Ereshkigal with a determined face, not knowing what they were thinking.

"This is really..."

Even everyone in Chaldea couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Luo Zhen could understand everyone's thoughts.

There is no way, if this is the true words of this goddess, then this goddess is really distressing and pitiful.

"Obviously you were just unilaterally stuffed with this responsibility by the gods, and you lost everything because of it. You have been staying in this world with nothing, managing the undead for thousands of years, independent Tasting loneliness and silence, in the end, are you still willing to sacrifice yourself for others?"

Luo Zhen couldn't help but speak.

To this Ereshkigal had only one answer.

"That's right, because this is the goddess."

Yes,

This is the goddess.

No matter which goddess she is, she has her own persistent love.

This love may be distorted, may be cruel, may not be aimed at people, or may only be aimed at things, it can be said to have everything that one expects to find, each is different, but only in front of this love, they will regard it as a lifetime. The biggest attachment among them is to persevere to the end.

For his own love, Ishtar has trampled on the earth, ravaged humans, played with gods, and trampled on people's hearts. Even if it is cruel and cruel, it is for love after all.

So is Ereshkigal.

Even if you get nothing.

Even if you don't want anything.

She still wants to stick to her love, her responsibilities and missions.

If it is said that Ishtar desires love in order to gain everything, then Ereshkigal can only obtain love when he loses everything.

The outside and the inside are one, facing each other, this is the relationship between Ishtar and Ereshkigal.

Now Ereshkigal confessed everything.

Not for survival, but for death.

"I am the goddess of death, and I will never deny death."

Ereshkigal declared frankly.

"You knock me down right here, and liberate all the souls here."

These words made everyone speechless one by one.

Everyone could only focus on Luo Zhen and wait for Luo Zhen to make this decision.

As a result, everyone was stunned.

Because, at this moment, Luo Zhen had a smile on his face.

"senior?"

Matthew couldn't help but make a sound.

"Hello."

Ishtar also tugged at Luo Zhen's collar.

But Rozen just looked at Ereshkigal.

"You...why are you looking at me like that?"

Being stared at by Luo Zhen so directly, Ereshkigal's expression also became unnatural, and there was a tinge of red on her pretty face.

But Luo Zhen still wanted to look at this goddess.

the reason is simple.

"I finally understand why you want to occupy Ishtar's body to talk to me, reveal to me the information about the "Alliance of the Three Goddesses", and even help me in the fir forest, and even let me defeat you."

Luo Zhen spoke softly.

"These are all for me to save mankind, right?"

Because Ereshkigal can't do anything, can't get out of the underworld, and can't prevent the impending demise, then she will naturally put her hope on the master of Chaldea who has saved all six singularities.

When he was in the embassy, ​​Ereshkigal wanted to hear the story of Rozen in the six singularities, not only because of his own curiosity, but also because of his envy and longing for Rozen who had the ability to save everything.

Therefore, Ereshkigal revealed the information to Rozen at the risk of violating the covenant.

Therefore, Ereshkigal hindered the other goddesses to prevent Rozen from being murdered by them.

Even, Ereshkigal wanted Rozen to overthrow him and gradually disintegrate the power of the "Three Goddess Alliance".

What's more, the reason why she attacked Uruk, like Gorgon and Quetzal, was to collect human souls as soon as possible without changing the decision of the goddesses of the alliance. protect them.

Everything Ereshkigal did was for humanity.

That being the case...

"I won't let you die like this."

Luo Zhen said so firmly.

"Then...then what do you want?"

Ereshkigal couldn't help asking.

"It's very simple."

Rozen stretched out his hand towards Ereshkigal.

"Make a contract with me."
