$ Chapter 762 ‘Chasing Souls in the Underworld’
With the efficiency of the operation that seemed to be eight times faster, everyone quickly rushed back to Uruk from Mount Ebifu. However, even if they set out at the same time, the impatient goddess drove the sky boat ahead and arrived at the destination first.
So as soon as they entered the temple, everyone had the honor of hearing the traditional art performed by Uruk's oldest crosstalk duo.
"Welcome back, outstanding warriors. Hahahaha, and that shameless goddess who ran away from home and came back, how do you feel about joining my army?"
"Who said I want to join your army! I just made a contract with that master as a client! Just wait and see, before that guy completes the commission, whether he dies or is blown to pieces, I will revive him! Then you will definitely say, [Oh, Ishtar is really the goddess of victory, very good, I will die now]!"
"Who will die, idiot!"
"What are you doing, I really shouldn't be here!"
So the goddess in the hall put her hands on the back of her head, snorted coldly and turned away, and the throne on the throne supported her cheek and turned her cheek unhappily. Fujimaru really couldn't find a more appropriate word to describe the current scene except for the child's quarrel like playing house.
"You two, please stop here." The chief priest sandwiched between the goddess and the king finally spoke, "No matter what the reason is, it is a great honor for the city god to come here."
After a pause, she said calmly: "[The ranch owner's loss report] will be forgiven."
"Gu." Facing the most pious Miss Siduri, even a spoiled Ishtar would find it difficult to be tough, "Okay, I know! Let's get back to business. That guy said he could get the answer by coming to Uruk. Hey, naked king, tell me who did it!"
"What are you talking about?" Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes, rarely showing anger or ridicule, but acting ambiguous.
"Don't pretend to be a goddess!" Ishtar said angrily, "Who is using my body in the middle of the night!"
Hearing this, Gilgamesh's face changed slightly, and he looked at Shuoyue who had just walked in without a sound. The two looked at each other, and after a touch, he pursed his lips and nodded.
"I know."
"Where?"
The goddess' eyes lit up. Gilgamesh remained calm and tapped the ground with his toes.
"It's right here. Go find her and ask her."
"Here?" Fujimaru lowered his head and looked at the golden sintered bricks that were re-laid in the palace curiously, unable to hide his doubts.
Is there something hidden here?
It was obviously a puzzling statement, but the goddess Ishtar's expression became strange. She stared at the floor tiles of the palace, her hands folded across her chest, her black hair flying silently, and she looked like she was resisting. But her lips had lost their color, and Fujimaru could even hear a few suppressed whispers of fear.
"Sure enough... this guy..."
"You actually... dare to do this to me..."
I always feel that this goddess came to Uruk not to find answers, but to verify a certain conjecture that she had long had.
But what exactly is that conjecture?
"Don't guess blindly, Fujimaru." Sakutsuki finally spoke, speaking bluntly, "The king is talking about the underworld."
"Ah!" Like a cat with its tail stepped on, Ishtar was furious, "You are not allowed to say that name! Damn it, why is that woman Eleshkigal so haunting! I didn't expect that she would be resurrected... What is going on!"
"About this matter~" Merlin put his hand to his lips and shouted, "Hey - Roman from Chaldea -"
"I'm here!" Roman's energetic voice came from the communication bracelet.
"Let's sort out the information we have so far. According to the joint observations of the Ziggurat and Chaldea, there is only one god with Sumerian divinity in this era. But if what the king and Shuoyue said is correct, then the impossible phenomenon of Ishtar, the Mistress of the Sky, and Eleshkigal, the Mistress of the Underworld, appearing together... So that's it, so that's it. I understand the principle. Hey, Merlin, the class representative over there, please summarize it for me~~~"
"That's enough, two grown men pretending to be childish." Anna complained weakly, and Mei Liangxin just laughed and explained for everyone:
"It's because of Ishtar."
"Huh?"
Merlin pointed at Ishtar and smiled and said, "When you were summoned, Eleshkigal was also Summoned."
"Huh?! Wait...wasn't I summoned by the priestesses?"
"But according to the report, the chief priestess who successfully completed the summoning died, Ishtar, do you have this memory?"
"Dead, dead? How could it be? I drove the sky boat away after I woke up?"
"Well, I'm afraid that he was killed by Ereshkigal. After all, you two goddesses are one and the same, that is, you have the same divinity. No wonder the investigation results only show one divinity."
"So, it turned out that the guy used my body without permission, hehe..."
"Hey, Fujimaru." At this time, Shuoyue poked Fujimaru who was thinking, winked and said, "Have you considered taking the chief priestess who summoned Ishtar back to Uruk?"
"Huh? Why?"
"Look, that's a super European emperor who can draw double gold with one summoning talisman." The young man said happily, "Let her help you draw pools in the future, wouldn't it be a huge profit?"
"This..." Fujimaru twitched the corner of his mouth, and countless tragic memories suddenly came to life and began to attack him, "It seems... makes sense."
"Don't listen to Sakusuki's deception, Fujimaru!" the doctor shouted, "That miko is already dead, and this is a special point!"
Bang!
The goddess stamped her foot on the ground, causing several cracks to appear: "Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier it becomes, Fujimaru, let's go!"
"Okay..." Fujimaru responded subconsciously and reacted suddenly, "Wait, where are you going?"
"Go to hell!"
"Hey!!!"
"No, that's the literal meaning!" Ishtar raised his arm, raised his index finger and thumb, making a 'pistol' gesture, and said with murderous intent, "I will use the Noble Phantasm to bomb the earth and close the door to Hades. Knock it open!”
The divinity began to rise, and the goddess's light red eyes began to turn golden. In the whistling sound of magic rubbing against the air, the doctor's timely explanation came: "In the age of the gods, the sky, the earth's surface and the underworld were all woven from the same cloth. It is not a realm of other dimensions, but is truly connected to the soil of this world, which means..."
"That is to say, you can reach the underworld as long as you blow up the ground!" Ishtar laughed loudly, "We're about to go! The bow gun port of Ma Anna is loaded with tidal cluster bombs, and the output is one-third of Lapis Lazuli's 2 Waiting—"
Before the woman finally went crazy, golden ripples covered the entire palace in an instant, and countless magic staffs emerged from the treasure house. Along with the mysterious awakening that shuttled through it, a super giant suppression magic array was constructed in the blink of an eye, and in the divinity In the collision with the magic power, Shengsheng suppressed the ultimate move that the goddess had accumulated.
"Do you want to demolish this palace, idiot! This is the palace that I just built!" The king of Uruk felt the murderous aura behind the goddess, and his eyebrows jumped, "And, who said that only This is a stupid way to reach the underworld!”
"What did you say?" Ishtar covered her forehead, "Other than that, is there any other way to break into the underworld of that guy who has been autistic for thousands of years?"
"Of course, walk in, walk along the passage! Now there is no need for me to hide - there is a secret passage between Uruk and the underworld, just under my palace!"
"ha?!!"
This time, not only Ishtar, Fujimaru and others, but also Merlin and Siduri raised their eyebrows in surprise and disbelief.
Is Uruk connected to the underworld?
When did this happen?
