Chapter 579:
A charming smile appeared on Mellie's lips. It's not like the usual habitual smile, but a dreamy and beautiful smile that makes people unable to distinguish between reality and illusion. Only at this time did Roman realize the difference between the two smiles.
She held Roman's face, then lowered her head slightly, and kissed Roman's lips lightly. Then she let go of Roman's cheapness and stepped back slightly.
"This is my prank, do you like it?" Mei Li turned around, her figure gradually faded away, and only that back made Roman unforgettable for a long time.
Roman reached out and stroked his lips. The light kiss was very short and light, and it didn't feel like a light kiss until the end. Rather, it was a kiss full of "Merry" flavor.
"What is this? Mischief kiss?"
It took a thousand years to arrange a prank, and this prank ended with a kiss. How does the prankster feel? And how does the person who is being teased feel?
Roman was moved by it, but it was a pity that this feeling was like a dreamy Mellie, and disappeared like the wind after a while.
...
"King, we are going."
"What? Why do I have to help that near pickup, that guy looks disgusting. Anyway, Uruk will be broken, so let me do it myself."
"Ahahaha, don't be like this, Wang, this joke is not funny at all, because you can't beat him now."
"You are more annoying than Gilgamesh. Hey, Bomb Girl, come with me."
"Why are you pulling me? Didn't you see me eating?"
"I stopped, and you are still eating. Are you a rice bucket? Put down the bowl for me, and I will go kill him. If I kill him, I will treat him next time."
"Really? Just wrap this up on me, I'll cut him into meat sauce, you just wait for me to go bankrupt, zombie girl!"
The noisy sound gradually disappeared, and the lively sound also left.
...
It takes a thousand years to complete a prank and it will make people feel moved, so what will it feel like to complete a hobby that takes three thousand years to complete?
As the experiencers and survivors of the human burn, the Chaldeans expressed that they felt very bad, condemned the perpetrator Getia, and planned to bring the criminal to justice.
The law is the law headed by Mrs. Fujimaru from Fuyuki City.
But what is surprising is that apart from the victims, the more summoned Heroic Spirits did not feel disgusted by what Goetia did. Maybe there will be, but not many, not even many people complaining about Roman. More heroic spirits think that it is great to complete the Burning of Humanity, and are willing to use the word "great achievement" to describe it.
This is what bystanders say about Getiah.
Then, intending to destroy the world and create a new world, a primitive world belonging to the mother goddess, what is Athena?
In this matter, Athena has a bad reputation. Not only those who survived in Mesopotamia, even if they were also the goddess of the earth, they were reluctant to admit what Athena had done.
Chapter 914 Chapter 423 The Seven Gates of the Underworld
"Athena is just a piece of shit, what is it to call Tiamat back? What is the world that belongs to the Earth Goddess? Where is the current world fun? Although those people in Uruk always disagree with me, sometimes they will Complain to me, but it's more fun than a puppet doll who just knows what to do, isn't it?"
This is the feeling of the goddess Ishtar. Roman didn't know whether it was Ishtar's true thoughts or the feeling that she felt only because of the influence of the Tohsaka Patriarch, but her speech seemed to be unanimously approved by everyone.
"That's right, even though those idiots from the Fujimaru-gumi always challenge the Fujimura-gumi and cause me trouble every now and then. But once they quiet down and obey like a wooden man, I don't like how I look at them. already."
It feels like you will become such a character, it is entirely thanks to the training of your subordinates, are they all shaking M?
"When those little cuties rushed towards me, I was all excited. Only such a resistant human being is worthy of my love."
I have long known that there are no ordinary people here.
In the early evening, everyone has started to eat, and then waited for the night to come. Because Ereshkigal always appeared at night, everyone decided to wait for her to arrive before acting. After all, the underworld was still under her management.
only--
"What the **** is going on? Is that woman still coming!!"
Ishtar, who was already impatient, couldn't help complaining. The sun disappeared from about six o'clock, and now it's almost nine o'clock. Three full hours have passed. No matter how bad the concept of time is, there must be a limit, right?
But Ereshkigal was still missing, which made the two impatient people a little impatient.
"It seems that we can't wait for Ereshkigal anymore." Quetzal stood up and looked up at the sky, "Let's just enter the underworld now, I believe Ereshkigal will come over soon."
"No, we can't put our lives on uncertain factors." The person who rejected Quetzal's proposal was Roman who proposed the proposal in the morning, "We can't enter unless Ereshkigal comes. If we meet Athena before she arrives, we'll have to die."
Quetzal patted Roman's shoulder unhappily, making him feel the bones in his body shaking: "Don't underestimate us, you coward. Even without Ereshkigal, our strength should not be underestimated. Yes, it's not that easy for Athena to kill us."
"It's not calculated like that at all. If we lose, Quetzal, there's no chance of a second move. Losing is a complete failure, and you need to figure that out."
"It's you who can't figure this out. Didn't you say you've run out of time to wait any longer? I remember you said that Uruk ran out of time."
"..."
Indeed it is. Maybe waiting for Ereshkigal is the safest way, but the absolute monster front is also in a moment where every second counts, and they can't wait any longer.
"You can't do anything with a cowering person. Although we don't know what trump card you are hiding, we can't put all our hopes on people who are uncertain. Isn't that what you said?" Quetzal already felt Roman began to flinch, she understood that Roman had been persuaded by herself, and showed a hearty smile, "You are the one who really doesn't know the truth. Come on, you will understand after entering the underworld."
Roman showed a "what the **** are you talking about" expression. But Quetzal didn't say anything. Her body suddenly flew up, and the figure disappeared into the dark night sky. Then, a gust of wind blew from top to bottom, and then came the "boom" in her ears. one sound.
Everyone felt that the mountain was shaken for a while. If someone hadn't supported Roman, he would have fallen to the ground.
Tinnitus and dizziness appeared on Roman's body. When he was gradually recovering, there was a clatter from his side, and Roman saw that Quetzal had returned to his side.
"Quezar, what the **** did you do just now?"
"Hahaha, because I saw that you have been undecided, so I simply did it myself. You can go and see it, even if I help you make up your mind."
What the **** did this goddess do?
Roman didn't know what was going on, but he went ahead anyway. At a distance of about 300 meters, where the smoke and dust were billowing, the entire area was covered in smoke, and it was impossible to see what happened. After the smoke disappeared, the scene in front of him made people take a deep breath.
On the ground in front of him, a huge void appeared. The radius is about fifty meters. No wonder there was such a serious earthquake just now. It turned out that Quetzal simply fell from the sky, and the whole person hit the ground like a meteor. Being hit by a meteor at close range, how could Roman, who is just an ordinary person, stand it?
These are not important, the important thing is that there is an unfathomable void under this ground, which is as deep as an abyss and invisible.
"It's hard to imagine that the underworld in Mesopotamia is actually connected to the earth. I thought the underworld belonged to another world." Chaldea sent the detection results, "Roman, the space in front of you has been deep, because the ether Changes, we can't check the specific situation of the underworld here, if you go in, you have to be careful."
"I know, then we need to check and understand the specific situation." Roman thought for a while, then looked at Ishtar, "Ishtar, it's up to you to investigate."
"Ah? Why me?"
"Didn't you once enter the underworld? And the speed of Tianzhou is faster than others, so you can find out the situation inside faster."
"That's not how my Maanna is used!"
Ishtar complained, but still took out the sky boat, and then drove the sky boat into the underworld.
In about two minutes, Ishtar flew back from the underworld. She floated in the air and said to Roman: "Everything is as usual inside, except for human souls, there is nothing there. If you want to go in, hurry up. The ground of the underworld is 300 meters away from here, it is best to have someone help you when you go down."
No one answered Ishtar, except for Roman, everyone's eyes fell on Ishtar's sky boat.
"What, what? Why are you suddenly looking at my Ma Anna?"
Thirty seconds later, Roman appeared behind Ishtar, and both of them twisted their bodies uneasily.
Ishtar glanced back at Roman: "Let's talk first, don't do anything to me. If I find out that you're being rude to me, I'll throw you below."
"You guys are too long-winded, just give me a little more!"
Looking at the two people who were awkward, Quetzal impatiently kicked the sky boat and let the sky boat lead the two to fall into the underworld.
"Ahhhh-" "You pervert, let go quickly, you grabbed my chest!!"
Quetzal withdrew his feet and jumped down contentedly. The people around also jumped down one after another, and even Lixiang didn't have anyone to protect her, so she jumped down alone.
After entering the land of the underworld, Roman and Ishtar were just like normal people, but they didn't dare to look at each other's faces as if they were taboo.
So what happened in the last thirty seconds? Or thirty seconds?
It's over for them?
Entering the land of the underworld, a voice full of resentment kept coming from my ears. The souls of the deceased were locked in "bird cages" by the hostess of the underworld, which exuded a faint blue light. It was Ereshkigal's gun cell, and the souls imprisoned in it would never be able to return. on the ground.
"Woooooooooooo-"
"What are these? I seem to hear something?"
"It's because of the wailing of the soul being tortured," Ishtar explained. "When the body is completely dead, the soul will gradually thin out and eventually disappear. But Ereshkigal won't allow this, that guy— - Will put the favorite human soul in a cage and play with it for tens of thousands of years for fun. Of course, the imprisoned soul has no freedom. As long as human beings have no body, they will feel cold, very cold. In the end, only the soul is in the state , will start to freeze from the hands and feet, and finally become living ice cubes, so painful that they feel that they would rather disappear. But the souls imprisoned in this cage know that Ereshkigal is tired of playing with it, and will continue to suffer like this forever."
"Ereshkigal turned out to be such a cruel goddess?" Rika asked Roman, "Dad, can Ereshkigal really trust me? I'm starting to feel like I'm getting into the tiger's mouth."
Ishtar looked around and seemed surprised: "There are more gun cells than before. Does that guy want to build a kingdom of the dead? But she shouldn't be such a cruel goddess before."
Of course, because what you're talking about is not a version at all. According to Ereshkigal, that's because she needs to wipe away the memories of these souls before they can disappear, otherwise, those who stay in the soul can only make them resentful spirits. The more souls that enter the underworld, the longer it will take to wash the memory, especially in the period of war and natural disasters, the souls of the underworld are absolutely overcrowded.
Look, haven't there been resentful spirits?
A group of huge resentful spirits appeared not far away, and because they smelled the breath of the living, they rushed over at the same time. Those who have died can be reborn if they can get a new body.
This is already the instinct of the undead.
Of course, the mere grievances are not worth mentioning. Before they approached, they were all shot through by Ishtar, who hated the undead, and the grievances vanished in an instant.
"The number of these resentful spirits is too large. What the **** did Ereshkigal do?"
"The current manager of the underworld is no longer Ereshkigal. Probably because Athena has not fully controlled the underworld, so the resentful spirits of the underworld are causing trouble everywhere." This cauldron cannot be thrown on Ereshkigal On the body, the eldest lady can be busy for tens of thousands of years without leaving the underworld.
"What now? Do you want to go directly to Athena? Who knows the way to the underworld?"
When questioning, his eyes still involuntarily looked at Ishtar. Among the people here, only Ishtar has entered the underworld.
"Come with me. Here, across from the narrow cliff, after passing through the seven gates, there is the Palace of Ereshkigal. If the master of the underworld is still Ereshkigal, then she will definitely be there Inside, because that guy is a goddess who won't leave that place with a single step."
Of course, because in order to manage the underworld, she has no spare time at all.
Roman looked at the gloomy underworld and couldn't help frowning: "Would Ereshkigal like this kind of place? It feels like this is imprisoning her in the underworld... Any normal person... God, will never like it here. Bar?"
"Who knows? This is something decided by the gods, and I can't control it." Ishtar flew ahead and led the way. Everyone walked along a narrow road, and soon saw a simple door made of stones. . There is a powerful force on the door, which seems to be some kind of divine power, which prohibits anyone from breaking in feebly. It seems that certain conditions must be met in order to release the power above, and then pass through the first door.
"It's time for you to come out. First of all, over there, break through the first gate, so that you will understand the rules of the underworld."
As soon as everyone came to the door, they heard the sound of the stone door:
"Answer-
Answer it-
O living beings who have fallen into the underworld—
Answer the way his soul exists—"
As a visitor, Ishtar explained: "Next, there will be a choice of two. The gate of the underworld is a just and rational gate that will torture the soul. Good and evil are equal, only the human value of making a choice. It will change... So, no option is necessarily correct. Anyway, there will be annoying tests no matter how you choose it, you just choose the option that you think 'it seems easier to choose this way'."
Shimen then asked: "Although the benchmarks of beauty seem to be varied, there are still absolutes. Black can overcome white, and earth can overcome sky. In this case - Ereshkigal and Ishtar, who is beautiful of?"
The underworld fell into silence in an instant, and even the mourning of the soul disappeared, as if waiting for the answer from the Chaldean team.
"Torturing the soul?"
"Just and rational?"
"Good and evil?"
"...How would I know about this kind of thing? It's not the same as before—!" Even Ishtar would be mad when encountering such a thing, "It wasn't like this when I came here last time. , where can there be such a strange problem?"
It is indeed a very strange question to compare the mistress of the underworld with the mistress of the sky. This kind of question seems to be specially prepared for Ishtar.
Roman believed that if the answer was Ishtar at this time, then they would never even think about going through the first gate. Having said that, was the question of this stone gate spontaneous or was it set up by Ereshkigal? If it was Shimen's own initiative, then what exactly did you use to be disgusting, Ishtar?
If Ereshkigal set it up by himself...that would be too cute, right?
Chapter 915 Chapter 424
Roman did not feel troubled by this question with the style of a young lady, he said: "Although the problem is not the same as expected, if it is really based on the premise of 'it seems easier to choose this side', then There is only one answer. That’s right, the beautiful goddess is Ereshkigal.”
"What? Betrayed at the first door—? Ah, is that right? I made a mistake, it's psychological warfare! One... it must be like this, right? Just tout Ereshkigal , the enemy will become weaker, right?"
Ishtar seems to have a hard time accepting that he was betrayed by his own people, especially the betrayal person is his own Master——
I have long suspected that this man and Ereshkigal are not right! !
"H-U-O-G-A-I-very! Very! Good!"
The first door got a satisfactory answer, and then there were violent fluctuations on the door. Roman's answer was like the key to open the door, the force that could resist anyone passing through disappeared, and the first door was silent.
"It looks like it's done, let's go over." Roman trusted Ereshkigal more than the others, so he was the first to walk through this door, and after passing through it was safe, and the others followed. When I thought it would end like this, until Ishtar walked over, something happened to her.
Ishtar's divine body triggered the stone gate's mechanism, and there was a violent reaction on the stone gate.
"What the **** is going on? I feel numb all over my body, and my body seems to have changed. Shouldn't that goddess be counting on me?" Ishtar discovered that there was a problem with his body, but the change soon stopped. Appeared, she passed through the stone gate, but found that she could only look up at everyone, "Huh? What's going on? Why did you suddenly grow bigger?"
