I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 457: The Family of Inanna, the Goddess of Venus

"Gilgamesh, what do you mean?"

As soon as Gilgamesh finished speaking, an angry female voice questioned.

"I summoned you, not for you to do this."

The next moment!

A beautiful black-haired goddess descended behind Gilgamesh with a huge figure of a thousand meters in height.

This is a goddess with a golden collar on her neck and a golden spear in her right hand. She is wearing a cloud-like white dress and a pair of small and delicate ankles wearing golden strap sandals.

The goddess has a pair of beautiful golden eyes. She looked down at Gilgamesh with angry eyes and said.

"I let you come as a heroic god so that you can lead the city of Uruk to rise again, not to let you duel with others. Are you influenced by the [Epic of Gilgamesh] and longing for an opponent like Enkidu?"

The Epic of Gilgamesh-this is a myth made up by the Uruk people for Gilgamesh after Gilgamesh's death.

In this story, people's desire for the kingship to be curbed is pinned.

So Gilgamesh, who was as powerful as a god, met an opponent named Enkidu.

In fact, Gilgamesh and Enkidu are two sides of the same coin.

Before Gilgamesh defeated King Agga of Kish, he was a tyrant who endlessly forced the people of Uruk to build city walls.

When Gilgamesh defeated King Agga of Kish and won victory and hegemony [encountered Enkidu], he no longer forced the people of Uruk to build city walls and became the wise king of Uruk.

In epic mythology, Enkidu is the friend Gilgamesh gained.

In real history, Enkidu is the victory Gilgamesh gained.

Enkidu is a part of Gilgamesh, and Gilgamesh is Enkidu.

"Inanna! Goddess of Uruk, are you still unwilling to give up your past pride?"

Gilgamesh looked up and looked into the eyes of the goddess and said.

"Although Uruk has gained hegemony five times in the past history, and you became the Queen of Gods when Uruk rose, the era of you and Uruk has ended."

"No - the era of Uruk and me has not ended yet."

Goddess Inanna said in a decisive tone.

"You are the first king of Uruk who led Uruk to establish hegemony. I believe you can lead Uruk to conquer the Mesopotamian Plain again and let me become the Queen of Gods in the Mesopotamian Plain again."

Gilgamesh said helplessly.

"My goddess, it is to achieve your unrealistic goal that I will propose a one-on-one duel with this human. Can't you see that this human's army is stronger than ours, so I can only defeat him one-on-one."

Inanna carefully observed the army behind Roy.

Although the number of the two armies is different, it cannot be denied that Roy's 3,000 Athenian soldiers have more advanced and powerful weapons and equipment.

So when the two armies fight, the loser will definitely be the coalition of Uruk, Larsa, and Ur.

"The enemy's army is indeed stronger, so you can defeat the King of Athens in a one-on-one duel."

Seeing that Inanna was convinced by him, Gilgamesh immediately said to Roy.

"King of Athens, do you want to refuse to duel with me?"

"I have no reason to refuse."

Roy jumped off his horse, walked towards Gilgamesh with his iron spear and said.

"I cherish the life of every Athenian soldier, and it is exactly what I expect to avoid a war by dueling."

"Arrogant human, it seems that you underestimate my strength as a hero god!"

"I don't underestimate your strength, so you don't mind me asking the gods of the Athenian Empire for help! Even if you don't accept it, I won't change my mind."

After Roy finished speaking, the goddess Aphrodite descended behind Roy with a height of one kilometer.

After seeing the goddess Aphrodite descend and pouring divine power into Roy, Gilgamesh summoned the golden divine spear and walked towards Roy, laughing.

"You actually want to use the help of the goddess to defeat me. This is very fair to me. Don't let me down!"

When the distance between Roy and Gilgamesh was only 100 meters, they both stopped at the same time.

After staring at each other for a while, Roy took the initiative to burst out the maximum speed, and his body rushed towards Gilgamesh with an amazing sound of breaking through the air.

Gilgamesh also rushed towards Roy with the speed of a hero god.

There was a loud bang!

At the moment when Roy and Gilgamesh's figures crossed each other, Roy's black iron spear and Gilgamesh's golden divine spear clashed for the first time.

Seeing that the first confrontation between Roy and Gilgamesh was a draw, Inanna stared at Aphrodite with angry eyes and scolded.

"Why don't you stop? This is a battle between the King of Athens and the King of Uruk. Don't interfere with them."

"Your words are really strange!"

Facing Inanna's accusation, Aphrodite smiled and teased.

"Gilgamesh got your divine power from the beginning, so he could come as a heroic god. I lent my divine power to Roy, and even Gilgamesh, the protagonist of the duel, thought it was fair."

"Aphrodite, do you want to be beaten?"

"Can you beat me?"

Aphrodite said without showing any weakness.

"One hundred and forty years ago, the walls of Uruk were demolished by the Kingdom of Babylon. As the patron goddess of Uruk, you were also severely damaged and weakened by Marduk. Now you no longer dominate the two rivers. Queen of the Gods of the River Basin, and I am not only the master of the Phoenician region and the Sinai Peninsula, but I will also soon become the master of the Two Rivers Basin, and get the throne of the Queen of the Gods of the Two Rivers Basin that you dream of. "

"You - you are such a villain, do you really think I don't have the power to teach you a lesson?"

Inanna, who was completely angered, immediately called.

"Nanna, the moon god! Utu, the sun god! Lend me your divine power!"

Following Inanna's call, Utu, the sun god who protects the city of Larsa, and Nanna, the moon god who protects the city of Ur, simultaneously descended behind Inanna with their thousand-meter-tall figures.

In Sumerian mythology, the moon god Nanna was the father of the Venus goddess Inanna, and the sun god Utu was the brother of the Venus goddess Inanna.

The sun god, the moon god, and the goddess Venus combined to form the triad of stars in Sumerian mythology.

Although Inanna didn't want to admit this relationship, now that she had someone to ask for, Inanna could only put down her pride and say.

"Father God! Brother! Lend me your power!"

The sun god Utu and the moon god Nanna nodded, and then poured their divine power into Inanna.

"Dear sister, I will also lend you my divine power!"

A white-haired goddess with a face very similar to Inanna appeared next to Inanna with a height of 100 meters and said.

"As your sister, I also want to help you."

"Ereshkigal——"

After hearing the words of the white-haired goddess, Inanna rolled her eyes and said.

"You, a wandering god who was belittled and humiliated by the Amorites, and even had the throne of the patron saint of Kuta City taken away by Nergal, are you worthy of being my sister?"

Inanna is willing to accept a relationship with the moon god Nanna and the sun god Utu because one of them is the patron saint of Ur City and the other is the patron saint of Larsa City, and they can provide great help to Inanna.

Ereshkigal is a down-and-out wandering goddess, and of course Inanna will not accept her as her sister.
