Chapter 571:
...
What happened in the wild at night, Rika and Roman knew nothing. The power of the main **** level is not so easy to peep, even the clairvoyance of the EX level.
In fact, Lixiang and Roman have no time to take care of other trivial matters. The two spent the whole night worrying because the injured Anna did not return home at night.
Until dawn, the sun had already risen from the horizon, and neither of them could see Anna's shadow.
They had a feeling that Anna might not be coming back.
The feeling was just a feeling. The two didn't take it seriously. They planned to go out to find Anna after dawn.
It's okay to leave, but it's really worrying to leave without saying goodbye. But the two never thought that when they were about to punish, they were interrupted by someone who fell from the sky.
Not a man, but a god, a familiar goddess.
Ishtar drove his sky boat and fell from the sky, and just like this, he fell straight in front of everyone, smashing a deep pit on the ground.
This is such a familiar scene, I think when Hitachika came to Mesopotamia, it was the first time she met Ishtar. But the strange thing is that Ishtar, who fell this time, could not wake up.
Matthew held a cross shield in front of him and looked cautiously at the goddess in the pit: "Isn't this the goddess Ishtar? Senior, be careful, be careful that she will attack suddenly like the last time."
"No? If you're really awake, at least pay attention to your sleeping position."
To be honest, Ishtar's sleeping position is not bad, that is, the sleeping position of an ordinary girl. It is better to say that because of the beauty of the goddess, the sleeping Ishtar is pleasing to the eye. The problem lies in Ishtar's body, which is being crushed on it by the huge celestial boat, Anna.
Being able to sleep under such circumstances is truly a goddess.
"Okay, don't watch here, Ishtar is already in a coma." With Roman's years of medical experience, it only takes a glance to see that Ishtar has lost consciousness, "David, Melly, Help move the Tianzhou away. Lixiang, you and Matthew go to Siduri, it will be more convenient for Siduri and Ishtar to communicate."
"You're calling me again, why do you want to save her? Wouldn't it be better to kill her at this moment?" That said, in fact, the first person to let her go was Lixiang, she still obediently took her with her. Matthew went to find Siduri, "I'll be back soon, Dad, you have to be careful, this guy Tohsaka has a bad temper."
After Melly and David moved the sky boat aside, Roman went into the pit to check Ishtar's body. Of course, Roman is not alone. Black Joan, Black Saber, and Erica are all carefully guarding against the unconscious Ishtar. The power of the goddess is obvious to all.
After some examinations, Roman determined that Ishtar was indeed in a coma. There are signs of battle on her body, but there are no wounds, and there have been many scratches on the sky boat. Ishtar, who can come and go like the wind in the sky, the credit of Tianzhou cannot be ignored, and there are scars on Tianzhou, and Ishtar, who is protected by Tianzhou, is in a coma, one can imagine How fierce is the battle.
At present, the strong men who have appeared in Mesopotamia are probably the three-pillar goddesses of the "Three Goddess Alliance", and their equivalents are Jin Gushen, and then there is the leopard that Lixiang met. people. The one who can cause such serious damage to Ishtar's sky boat is probably the goddess who are also the "Three Goddess Alliance", but isn't the "Three Goddess Alliance" covenant forbidding them to hurt each other?
Could it be that the covenant has been broken? Furthermore, if only one goddess wants to hurt Ishtar, then the opponent must be unimaginably powerful, otherwise, Ishtar can only be attacked by two goddesses at the same time.
In any case, let's wait until Ishtar wakes up, and let her say it herself, things are clearer than anything else.
"By the way, David, let someone inform Gilgamesh and get him ready."
Gilgamesh had always held a grudge against Ishtar, and now that Ishtar came to Uruk, it was impossible not to tell him. Speaking of which, Roman's inherent impression has almost reached the level of "where there is Ishtar, there must be Gilgamesh", and when the two are put together, the style of painting will become very different.
In the end, Ishtar woke up before Gilgamesh came, and even before Siduri came. While rubbing his forehead, he kept crying about his pain, but he didn't even open his eyes.
"It hurts, what's going on? Why do you suddenly have a headache?" Rubbing his head, Ishtar opened his eyes, and saw a group of familiar people appear in front of him, "You guys Who is it? Why did he appear in my bedroom... No, this is not my bedroom!"
Ishtar jumped up, then looked around: "This is Uruk! Ah, it's you!!"
Ishtar finally recognized Roman and the others, but she didn't seem to realize what happened to her: "What's going on? Why am I here?"
"I should ask you about this. You suddenly fell from the sky, which is really shocking. Fortunately, there is no one in this position, otherwise, if you are hit, it is absolutely impossible to survive. "
"What?! How dare you say I'm heavy?!"
"Why is your focus here? Falling from the sky, even the lightest person can smash to death, not to mention the sky boat you are driving."
"By the way, and Ma Anna!"
Roman suddenly regretted reminding Ishtar that Ishtar who got the sky boat would become a difficult goddess to deal with. According to Lixiang, Ishtar driving the Tianzhou has very strong mobility, and there are many abilities from her Tianzhou. If the Tianzhou is lost, Ishtar's ability will probably be greatly weakened. .
But...it doesn't seem to be that difficult to deal with.
Ishtar, who ran over to retrieve the Tianzhou, did not enter the state of attack, but simply hid his treasures. What the **** does this happen? Shouldn't they be enemies? Is this goddess really missing a muscle?
But this is a good phenomenon. Whether it's Ishtar who is not hostile to them, or she really forgets the positions of the two sides, this is only good for them. There is no need for Roman to remind them, but it is still necessary to clarify some things. thing.
"Ishtar, why did you come to Uruk? Or why did you fall from the sky?"
It's also not quite accurate to say that he fell from the sky, because "falling down" is a state similar to free fall, when in fact Ishtar is more like being knocked down from a distance and then shot from a distance of 108,000 miles came here.
If it weren't for her being a powerful goddess and the protection of Tianzhou, Ishtar would have been smashed to pieces.
"It's because of... bad, bad!!" Ishtar seemed to remember something important, her face changed to something Roman had never seen before, "Hurry up and take me to Gilgamesh!! Uruk... Mesopotamia will be destroyed!"
Ishtar took Roman's arm, and then pulled him toward the palace like a kite.
Chapter 900 Chapter 411 Athena's Purpose
After half an hour—
"The world is going to be destroyed!"
After finding Gilgamesh, Ishtar did not immediately speak out about the big problem he encountered, but was willing to speak out after Rika also came. However, this kind of words seemed alarmist After coming out, everyone's reaction was very dull.
"oh, I see."
"I already knew that."
"You stupid goddess, don't you know that it's up to you to make Mesopotamia such a murderer?"
The "Three Goddess Alliance" was originally the culprit that destroyed Mesopotamia, and the goddess Ishtar was not qualified to blame other goddesses at all.
"That's not what I meant! It's not the 'Three Goddess Alliance' who want to destroy Mesopotamia!!" Ishtar's behavior was a bit exaggerated, as if only doing so could express her inner emotions, "Someone wants to destroy this the world!"
I know I know that you are the one of the murderers, and you are one of the masterminds.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't Quezal, it was—"
"Are you going to throw the blame on Gorgon at this time?"
"Don't interrupt me at this time! Nor was the murderer Gorgon, Gorgon was dead."
"What? Gorgon is dead? The goddess of beasts is dead?"
This is so explosive that one can't imagine it. You must know that Gorgon appeared in front of the Absolute Warcraft Front only yesterday, almost broke the Absolute Warcraft Front, and then let the tide of Warcraft pour into Uruk and raze Uruk to the ground. But Ishtar now tells them that Gorgon has been killed?
"Yes, Gorgon has been killed, by a goddess called 'Athena'—"
"What did you say?!!"
There are not a few people who feel incredible about this answer. After all, Athena is also a famous goddess in later generations. Regardless of her origin, according to them, Athena is the goddess of wisdom from Greece and one of the twelve main gods of Olympus. It is really incomprehensible to appear here.
But when I turn around and think about it, it seems not difficult to understand, because in Greek mythology, Athena and Gorgon (Medusa) are mortal enemies. In one version, Medusa turned into an ugly gorgon because of Athena's curse.
Could it be that this version of the myth applies to this world? The hatred of the two goddesses made them kill each other, so Athena killed Gorgon.
But what if Athena would destroy Mesopotamia? Could it be that she appeared in this era, is there any other reason?
No one noticed that when he heard that the goddess who killed Gorgon was Athena, Roman's face became strange, but then an unusual ugliness.
Ishtar doesn't know much about the details here, because when she sees Athena appear, Gorgon is already dead. But Ishtar still wrote down what Athena said. Even if it seems bizarre, this seems to be the only inside story that can be understood now.
"Athena killed Gorgon... No, it was Gorgon who became Athena, and then defeated you and the sun goddess, the goddess named Quezal, is Athena that powerful? Athena showed it Her power is not the same as myth, but she needs Gorgon to revive her. It can be judged that she is even stronger than Gorgon, but it seems too exaggerated to deal with two goddesses at the same time. a little."
Ishtar's performance was too embarrassing, and was hit by Athena from there to Uruk, spanning half of Mesopotamia.
"There's no such thing. If it were me and the two goddesses Quezal, no matter how powerful that **** Athena was, it would never be possible to defeat us. Maybe it would become the Millennium War and hit Mesopota. The collapse of Maya may not necessarily determine the winner. But Jin Gu, the bastard, turned to Athena after Gorgon died. Damn, if he hadn't attacked from behind, we wouldn't have been injured. Athena was still alive There is the power of death, and this power will always stay with me and Quetzal, and I don't know when it will be dispelled."
"I tell you, just say it well, don't use foul language, okay? Two on two is a very fair duel." When Roman heard Ishtar's slander of Athena, he couldn't help but say a word carefully. rebutted, and then got Ishtar's glare. The position of the two sides has not been clarified yet, but no matter where it comes from, abusive words should not be said.
Roman is still willing to protect who old acquaintance.
"That is to say, Athena's power is equal to you and the sun goddess combined, right?"
"That's right, that's about it." Although he was unwilling, Ishtar had to admit it, "Actually, it's the type that I just can't deal with. That goddess mastered the power of death and darkness. At that time, it happened to be Midnight...don't look at me like this, I'm still strong!"
Feeling everyone's distrustful eyes, Ishtar couldn't help but go mad. She is the goddess Ishtar, the real goddess, can't you show some respect?
Roman couldn't help being silent. Athena's power is not the same as what he had imagined, which should have something to do with the times. Although she calls herself Athena, and everyone calls her that, but her real body is an ancient goddess worshipped in the Mediterranean area, a descendant of the ancient snake, "Athena" is just a name that has been passed down to later generations.
Unlike the other gods of this world, the remaining "Athena" part of this Athena is only part of the power. Her power has been compiled into different myths in the changing times, and her power has been continuously differentiated and weakened with the worship of human beings. When it comes to "Athena", it is actually the weakest time. She has many other names and images, Metis, Medusa, Nate, Yanata, Yatana, Ashera... They were originally clones from the original Athena, it can also be said Athena's sister.
When Athena returns to the Age of Gods, then the myths that appear in later generations can no longer affect her, and the differentiated power will return to the original body. In other words, the current Athena may have returned to the peak moment, no longer "Athena", but "descendant of the ancient gods".
What method did this goddess use to resurrect? Is it still Gaetia?
This is almost an answer that can be obtained without thinking. Apart from him, there is really no other possibility. Athena was originally a remnant soul that remained in that body. If you let it go, you might not be able to resurrect until a human history arrives, and this era is even less likely to have the power to supply Athena, and you want to restore Athena. It's even more bizarre to the original appearance.
After all, after the death of the hero king in front of him, the Age of God has entered the late stage, and King Solomon brought a fatal blow to the Age of God.
Holy Grail! Only the Holy Grail can provide such powerful power to bring back Athena, who was teetering on the brink of death. That kind of wishing cup of pure energy, not to mention a dying god, even a person without talent can become a powerful magician in an instant.
"Dad? Dad! What are you thinking?"
"Hey? Are you calling me?"
"You've been in a daze just now. I called you several times but didn't respond. What were you thinking?"
Roman turned his head and found that everyone's eyes were on him. It seemed that he was in a daze for a longer time.
"About this, I was thinking just now, is Athena different from Gorgon? She must have a purpose that is unacceptable to everyone, so Athena will conflict with Ishtar and Quezal." Roman asked Ishtar, "Can you tell me, Ishtar, what the purpose of Athena is, you must understand it, right?"
"Yes, I know Athena's purpose, and she didn't plan to hide it at all." Ishtar gritted his teeth and said, "Athena actually planned to resurrect the mother goddess, the real Tiamat."
"The real Tiamat?"
When Gorgon appeared yesterday, everyone made it clear that Gorgon's true identity was not Tiamat, but what was the reason for the idea of resurrecting the real Tiamat?
The answer is the Earth Goddess.
The ancient goddess of the earth, and even according to later studies, Tiamat is likely to be the oldest goddess of the earth in the world. Others may not understand, but Roman knew that Athena was obsessed with the age of the Earth Goddess. If the oldest Earth Goddess were resurrected, then the era that truly belonged to the Earth Goddess would undoubtedly return to the earth.
Furthermore, the descendant of Athena's ancient serpent, then what is her relationship with Tiamat?
"In fact, Gorgon once said that he wanted to return the world to the Earth Goddess, but Gorgon's attention is more on revenge on mankind, and more importantly, our Gorgon's approach is more like It is to let the 'Three Goddess Alliance' control the sky and the earth, as well as all life in this world. Even if Gorgon wants to resurrect Tiamat, it is a ridiculous idea, because Tiamat's return is almost impossible , If you want to break the seal of Tiamat, the 'Three Goddess Alliance' is not enough."
Ishtar grabbed his hair a little frantically: "But that Athena is different, I can feel that Athena has a special connection with Tiamat, if it is her, it can definitely make Tiamat Matt goes back to Mesopotamia and if she really succeeds then the world is really doomed. It's not just human beings, but the world will be too, whether it's humans or gods will come back in Tiamat When we returned to the original chaos, Tiamat was one of the most powerful gods in the old era. Her appearance was simply the collision of the world and the world. In the world, we are like villains in a balloon. When the balloons are popped, they all explode!"
You must know that Tiamat is one of the gods who created the world, and it is also a **** who can create gods. It is not wrong to say that she is the origin of the world. Even if she is a world, I believe that no one will object.
If Tiamat is successfully returned to the earth, the world may return to chaos, and all creatures that do not belong to chaos will really become ravioli.
What Athena did was actually to destroy the original world and then create a new world that belonged to the Mother Earth.
"That's it! This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed. Damn, I told Gorgon well, after the destruction of Uruk, the sky belongs to me. If Tiamat returns, this world will soon belong to Tiamat. Is Yamat? And that Athena, who doesn't plan to give me the sky at all, right?"
It turned out to be the case. The reason why he disagreed with Athena's approach was because Ishtar knew that this was plotting against a tiger, and even if it succeeded, it would never be possible to divide the spoils smoothly.
At the end, Ishtar said to everyone with a smile on his face: "So, I decided to cooperate with you."
"Cooperation?" "That's right, it is cooperation, we will cooperate with you to defeat Athena. I believe you don't want Tiamat to return, right? So let's cooperate and defeat Athena and Jin Gu..."
"Then you will simply send us all to the underworld after the victory, right?" Gilgamesh interrupted Ishtar directly, and said with a sneer.
Ishtar looked at Gilgamesh in panic: "What, what? How do you know what I'm thinking?"
"Your performance is too obvious, you idiot, and you have written all your plans on your face." Gilgamesh made a gesture, causing everyone to gather and surround Ishtar, "Let's not let If you stab in the back, you might as well remove the restless from the start."
"What, what are you doing? I am the goddess, I am the goddess Ishtar!!"
"It is because you are a terrorist (Ishtar) that you choose to do it at this time, so that we don't need to worry about the problems behind. Rest assured, we will send you back to the sky in an instant ( outside), so you don't feel pain, it's a 'friendship' we met."
Gilgamesh raised the battle axe in his hand, and he was ready to go into battle in person. At the same time, the gate of the palace was also closed: "It's a god-send opportunity, you still have the wounds that Athena brought to you, if you don't do it, this king is really sorry for the prayers of the people of Uruk. "
"Stop, stop, stop! Siduri, hurry up and speak for me. And Rika, help me stop Gilgamesh."
Ishtar asked the people around him for help, but neither Siduri nor Lixiang planned to help. After all, Ishtar's sinister intentions had been exposed. If she were to stay, who would know that this behavior had no rules. What will the goddess do?
But everyone's reaction was more like they wanted to help Ishtar, but they didn't know what to do, because Gilgamesh felt something was wrong.
Chapter 901 Chapter 412 Taming
"Wait a minute, Gilgamesh." At the critical moment, Roman still stood up. "It seems a little out of place to exclude the goddess Ishtar at this time."
Ishtar didn't think about anything at all, and nodded along with Roman's words: "That's right, it's really wrong."
"Put away your femininity, Romani, what kind of goddess Ishtar is, I know better than you. As long as you are not careful, this goddess will wreak havoc, and there is no principle at all. "
Gilgamesh raised his battle axe gently, inadvertently leaking murderous aura.
"That's not quite right. Indeed, from a human point of view, Ishtar is indeed a restless person, but we seem to have no other choice now. Think about it, even a goddess as arrogant as Ishtar would Put down your body and take the initiative to find us to cooperate, you can imagine how terrible Athena is, with Uruk's power, it is difficult to resist the impact of Athena and Jin Gu."
"It's true. Even the stupid goddess Ishtar has come to the door. It seems that it has reached the point where 'if you don't cooperate, you can't win at all'."
"Who do you call the stupid goddess?"
Hearing Gilgamesh's slander, Ishtar couldn't help but argue, and as a result, the murderous aura that Gilgamesh had managed to suppress once again ignited.
