Chapter 441: Goddess Selene Fights Seven Alone

Sippar is a city guarded by the sun god Utu.

The war around Sippar was of course not without the participation of the sun god Utu.

When the 10,000 reinforcements from Kuta entered the battlefield and attacked the Athenian and Hittite armies from the 20,000 defenders from Sippar, the sun god Utu also appeared over Sippar with a huge figure of a thousand meters in height.

At this time, there were already seven city-state patron gods of the Babylonian Kingdom on the battlefield.

Looking at the figures of the seven-pillar gods, Roy felt a huge pressure in his heart.

Just when Roy wanted to summon the goddess of the Athenian Empire, Selene's body suddenly flew hundreds of meters high.

Then, under Roy's gaze, Selene's body burst into white divine light and instantly turned into a goddess with a height of a thousand meters.

Selene, who became a goddess, was also wearing fully armed armor and hiding her face with a helmet.

She waved the black iron spear in her right hand and pointed at the seven-pillar gods of the Babylonian Kingdom with contempt.

"Gods of Babylon, I am the goddess of the moon and war of the Hittite Kingdom. The victory of this war will belong to the Hittite Kingdom. Do you want to admit defeat yourself, or do you want me to beat you into submission?"

"Arrogant and barbaric woman!"

Facing Selene's provocation and humiliation, Marduk said with a cold face.

"You are just Alina's sister and subordinate, and you dare to challenge Marduk, the king of gods of the Babylonian Kingdom. Utu, the sun god! Zababa, the god of war! Urash, the goddess of the earth! Ninurta, the god of agriculture and war! I order you to defeat this arrogant and barbaric goddess."

The four gods named by Marduk are all local gods in the Mesopotamian region.

Although they were very dissatisfied with Marduk's order, Utu, Zababa, Urash, and Ninurta still fulfilled their duties as the patron gods of the city-state and besieged Selene from four directions.

The city of Sippar, guarded by the sun god Utu, was once the hegemonic city-state in the Mesopotamian region.

Because the city of Sippar became the overlord, Utu, the sun god who guarded Sippar, also became the king of the gods in the Mesopotamian region.

Kish, guarded by the god of war Zababa, was once the hegemonic city-state in the Mesopotamian region.

Because the city of Kish became the overlord, Zababa, the god of war who guarded Kish, became the king of the gods in the Mesopotamian region.

But this is the glorious history of the past after all.

Now Utu and Zababa have not only become ordinary city-state patron gods, but also because the Amorites conquered the cities of Sippar and Kish, they have become subordinate gods of the Amorite god Marduk along with Ulash and Ninurta.

As the younger sister of Alina, the queen of the gods of the Hittite Kingdom, Selene's power and prestige are certainly not comparable to those of Utu, Zababa, Ulash, and Ninurta now.

Facing the siege of the four gods, Selene not only did not defend, but took the initiative to attack.

Facing Selene's attack, Utu, Zababa, Ulash, and Ninurta did not resist head-on, but avoided Selene's attack while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

So for a while, Selene suppressed Utu, Zababa, Ulash, and Ninurta.

Selene sneered and teased while attacking.

"It seems that you local gods don't like to be enslaved by Marduk, a foreign god! So although you have to fight me, you don't intend to do your best for Marduk."

Marduk also saw at this time that these local gods did not fight with all their strength.

So he threatened with a thunderous roar of anger.

"Utu! Zababa! Ulash! Ninurta! You disobeyed my orders. Do you want to be killed by me and disappear from this world completely?"

As a foreign conqueror, Marduk certainly would not treat the local gods gently.

The third king of the gods in the Mesopotamian region, Pabilsag, the plant god who guarded the city of Larak, was a god who disappeared after being killed by Marduk because he was unwilling to submit to Marduk.

The city of Larak guarded by Pabilsag was also destroyed by the Amorites and has disappeared from the map of the Mesopotamian region.

As proof of Pabilsag's disappearance, in the Babylonian myths fabricated by the Amorites, Pabilsag was first degraded to a half-human, half-scorpion evil god of the underworld, and then supported Tiamat in the war in which Marduk killed Tiamat, and was eventually killed by Marduk.

Not just Pabilsag.

Soud, the god of war who guarded the city of Shuruppak, was also a god who disappeared after being killed by Marduk.

The city of Shuruppak was also destroyed because it was unwilling to submit to the Amorites and has disappeared from the map of the Mesopotamian region.

"If they obey your orders, won't you let them perish and disappear?"

Seeing Marduk threatening the local gods, Roy immediately said.

"You have been letting the gods of the Amorites replace the local gods, so your brother Nergal, the god of the underworld, replaced the local gods and became the patron saint of Kuta City, replacing the goddess of the underworld Ereshkigal. Your son Nabu, the god of writing, also replaced the local gods and became the patron saint of Persippa City. Now the local gods of the Babylonian Kingdom are waiting for slow death. Only when the Babylonian Kingdom is destroyed can they have a chance to survive."

Hearing Roy's words, Marduk stared at Roy angrily and roared.

"The people of the Hittite Kingdom are qualified to blame me, but what qualifications do you have to blame me? You refused all male gods to become the patron gods of the Athenian Empire. They are just dying slowly in the Babylonian Kingdom. If the Mesopotamian region is conquered by your Athenian Empire, they will immediately lose the throne of the city-state patron god and be driven away by you toppling the statue."

Marduk's words make sense-

The local gods are dying slowly in the Babylonian Kingdom, and Roy's Athenian Empire will not give them a way to live!

Roy could only say shamelessly.

"I just drove them away, I won't kill them like you did, let them perish and disappear. If they are lucky, maybe they can regain the throne of the patron god in other places."

Because Roy had already said the fact that the local gods were dying slowly, after Marduk threatened the local gods, the local gods still did not fight with all their strength.

Seeing Selene suppressing the four pillars of gods with her own strength, Marduk could only helplessly say to the Hades Nergal and the God of Writing Nabu.

"My dear brother Nergal! My dear son Nabu! You attack with me, we must defeat the Hittite goddess as soon as possible."

Nergal [Hades] and Nabu are both dependent on Marduk [Zeus].

Because their status comes from Marduk, they will certainly not disobey Marduk's orders.

In the history of another world, because the Mycenaeans who worship Zeus dominated the Peloponnese, Hades was arranged to be Persephone's husband and Hades.

Nergal [Hades] was also arranged to be Ereshkigal's husband and Hades because the Amorites who worship Marduk [Zeus] dominated the Mesopotamian region.

Nabu was also because he was the son of Marduk that he could become the patron saint of the city of Persippa as the god of writing.

Normally, only important deities such as agriculture, war, sun, moon, and ocean would be worshipped as patron saints.

It was obviously a deliberate arrangement by Marduk that such a useless deity of writing could become the patron saint of the city-state.
