My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 663: Traveling through time and space in the underworld

"boom--"

The poor underworld had experienced more tragic turmoil in just one day than in the past thousand years. Spiritual fire and red thunder collided, swords and spears collided, and the hurricane that swept across the earth roared, violently flattening everything and piling up the mountains.

The magician of miracles and the goddess of the underworld, two of the most powerful existences in the singularity, are in fierce conflict, while another group of residents of the underworld, the Garula spirits, are all huddled in corners thousands of miles away, trembling in fear.

Stop it now, don't hit us anymore! If you keep hitting us, we're going to die!
As if the prayers of Garula's spirit were heard, the underworld began to tremble. Thousands of red thunders gathered into a beam, turning into a destructive death light, and hit the floating platinum-colored light ball.

Bang!
The barrier was shattered with a short and rapid sound, and then a meteor fell to the ground. The flames of the valley scattered, revealing a young man lying naked on the ground with his arms and legs spread out.

"Ah, I can't do it anymore. I'm so tired."

Compared with the previous battle, although this time he successfully avoided the suppression of the underworld, he still could not defeat Elle, the absolutely invincible goddess in the underworld.

After realizing this, Shuoyue wavered again.

Lying on his back like this, with all his vital parts exposed defenselessly, the young man took off his mask, squinted his eyes, and watched the golden and red goddess gracefully land in front of him.

Then, he staggered.

“Pfft…cough cough, hahahaha…”

"Don't laugh!" Ai Lei stomped her high heels angrily. Looking closely, compared to the dead Shuo Yue, this goddess looked even more disheveled - her hair was messy, her clothes were burnt, and even her pair of white and slender arms were shaking unnaturally.

Even if the opponent is a wooden stake that can be hit by anyone, shaking the gun cage back and forth will be tiring. What's more, as a stay-at-home NEET, Elle has no exercise at all in her daily life, and the opponent happens to be a magician who has mastered the third law and has an immortality that is so strong that it is hopeless.

If the fighting continues, the entire underworld system will be overloaded... Ai Lei felt a headache as she looked at the weakened Shuoyue.

But what should we do with this guy? We can't just leave him there, right?
The goddess of the underworld, who just wanted to live a peaceful life, fell into distress, but the source of her troubles obviously would not go away.

"Okay, I'll revive with full health!" Exerting force from his waist, Shuoyue somersaulted into the air, scaring Ailei so much that she raised her gun cage and blocked it in front of her.

"What are you doing? You want to do it again?!"

"No... why are you suddenly acting like you've been bullied?" Shuoyue said with a hollow look, "It was me who was being pierced around by Chi Lei like an embroidery, wasn't it? You were just hit by the spiral sword."

"..." Ai Lei's pretty face turned slightly red, but she remained silent and was very alert.

Although I wasn't hurt, the sword-like arrow suddenly exploded right in front of my eyes... It was really scary, and it's not good for the heart!
How do I know if you will attack me without following martial ethics?
"Alas, it seems that the favorability level cannot be improved." Seeing Ai Lei's look, Shuoyue no longer wanted to stay. He waved his hand and left.

"That's it, we can't do anything to each other anyway, just consider it bad luck that you have such a bad guest like me. Of course, if you want me to pay the rent, sexual compensation is also acceptable."

"Flesh, flesh, flesh, flesh...Flesh compensation?" The girl's face flushed. As a pseudo-servant, she naturally inherited the memory of the body. She was no stranger to these words that were corrupted in modern times. "You, you, what are you talking about? I'm a goddess! The mistress of the underworld! How could I be so hungry that I would use this method..."

"???" Shuoyue tilted his head and looked at her in confusion: "No, I mean to use fighting or sparring as a substitute... What are you thinking of?"

Ai Lei's words came to an abrupt halt. She subconsciously looked at Shuo Yue. When she caught a glimpse of the evil smile on his face, she could no longer hold back:

"Go away, go away quickly, just don't let me see you!"

Seeing the angry goddess raising the gun cage again, the young man smiled triumphantly, touched his chest and saluted before Chi Lei arrived, and gracefully disappeared in the replacement space. After this uninvited guest left, Ai Lei stopped what she was doing, was silent for a while, and suddenly covered her face and held her head in her arms and squatted down for defense.

"Wow wow wow what on earth am I thinking? This is so shameless QAQ..."

As the mistress cried, the Garula spirits gathered around her and silently circled around her, while Ailei hid her face in her arms and waved her hands aimlessly:

"Go away, I don't want to see anyone now...even ghosts!"

But this time, the usually obedient Garula spirits did not leave, but anxiously stuck to Elle, as if telling her something. It was not until Elle received a warning from the underworld that she looked up in surprise, took off into the air, and flew in a certain direction.

Not long after, a familiar young man came into view, and with him, the gun cage containing the azure flame in his hand also appeared.

"what are you doing?!"

Faster than the sound, Ai Lei swooped over. She pushed away Shuo Yue's hand and protected the gun cage behind her, "Don't touch them!"

Looking at the girl who was standing in front of him with great momentum, as if she was protecting a treasure, even though Shuoyue was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

That was the reaction he didn't get when he broke into the underworld and even teased the goddess with words. Shuoyue was sure that as long as he revealed any dangerous thoughts about the things in the cage, the mistress of the earth in front of him would go to war with him at all costs.

——This attitude is really good.

"It's like a child protecting a toy. It's quite cute, Ailei." Shuoyue hid his thoughts behind a smile and then turned around.

He turned and left without any reluctance.

It was not until the young man walked slowly and disappeared from her sight that Ai Lei recovered from her angry state. Her golden hair flowed like a waterfall and her eyes could not hide her confusion.

"Just like that, leaving?"

It was only a few seconds from the time the alarm sounded to the time she arrived, so this guy didn't have time to attack the gun cage.

Did he know what was in the gun cage? Did he know why he did what he did?

Or was it just a whim and he has lost interest in it now?
No... after all, why is this guy still staying in the underworld? This is not an amusement park.

"There aren't even any flowers." Recalling the stunning flaming lotus, Ai Lei sighed regretfully, "Forget it, it won't be long before this guy gets bored and leaves anyway."

However, Ai Lei never expected that the things that made her so upset were still to come.
Ding ding, the underworld alarm sounded.

"What's going on this time... Ah, you, don't dig down into the underworld, um, the inner side of the world? They're not in the same time and space dimension at all!"

"Oh, sorry." The young man scratched his head and turned away.

After a while.

Ding ding, the underworld alarm sounded again.

"You again! Hey, what are you doing in my temple? Visualizing the properties of rules? What the hell is that? Get out of here! It's not gentlemanly to break into a lady's room!"

drip-

“Ahhhh, what are you doing! These are tools on the ground! Where did you get so many of them? Don’t you know that the underworld will reject these materials?... What? Setting up a control group for an experiment? But this is not a reason for you to act recklessly! The Red Thunder of the Underworld!”

Drip!

"W-Where is this?! Wait, stop it! This is... a hero's grave. What are you trying to do by digging the soil?! He's not here. His body was gone when I returned to the underworld. Stop digging!"

Ding ding ding ding!!! "I! Have! Told! Me! Don't! Go! Against Jialu La Ling! Again! What on earth did those kids do to piss you off!"

After being called by the alarm for the Nth time, Ai Lei's chest heaved, and she could no longer endure it: "You challenge my bottom line again and again, do you want to go to war with me? In this case, I will seal you in the bottom of the underworld even if it means damaging the underworld!"

"Ahem, calm down, calm down, Ailei." Seeing that the goddess of the underworld was on the verge of going berserk, Shuoyue coughed lightly and raised her hand to show that she meant no harm.

"I didn't do anything to the Garula spirits...it's more like they were the ones who pestered me."

"???" Ai Lei's first reaction to Shuoyue's sophistry was disbelief. "What a joke, the first thing you did when you came to the underworld was to attack those children, and now you actually say that they are pestering, you..."

Under the stunned gaze of the goddess, the Garula spirits, who had shed their dead skins and left only pure spiritual bodies, rushed towards the new moon - towards the platinum-colored light in his hand, like a young swallow throwing itself into the young man's arms, and even leaped for joy, unable to hide their intimacy.

To ignorant and foolish spirits, the owner of the Third Law is like their leader and is loved almost instinctively.

"Very good, very good, very good."

Having successfully used magic to deceive the ignorant Garula spirits, Shuoyue raised his eyes and smiled triumphantly at Ailei. The goddess with long golden hair as beautiful as a waterfall and noble and elegant like a young lady was stunned for a moment, then let out the cry of a defeated dog.

"Why is this happening——even I've never been liked this much before!"

not against.

dislike.

not understand.

In the dead of night, Ereshkigal returned to the temple, a desolate and dilapidated building made of barely piled stones.

Looking up at the non-existent moon, the beautiful goddess bent her legs, rested her chin on her knees, and stared blankly.

After a long period of chaos and disorder, that guy, the young man named Shuoyue, finally calmed down, said something weird about "organizing data" with great interest, and then disappeared in front of her.

The ruler of the underworld didn't want to know where he had gone, and the exhausted goddess was too lazy to look for him.

In just half a day, she was completely tired of the presence of other people, and even developed a fear of the fact that the underworld was disturbed.

If all guests who visit the underworld are so... disastrous, it would be better for me to seal off the underworld and not expect any more encounters.

The goddess seemed a little tired as she thought, but unconsciously, her brows were filled with an indelible doubt.

However, the anxiety, rejection and disgust in my heart, when I recalled it after the noise, turned into another completely different feeling flowing through my heart, which was indescribable and inexplicable, but... not disgusting.

What kind of emotion is this?
The feeling is not repulsive.

But subconsciously I don't like it.

"...I really don't understand what this guy is thinking."

The goddess's adorable cheeks puffed up, and she unconsciously revealed her girlish demeanor. She closed her eyes, and an idea flashed through her mind like lightning.

Since Shuoyue is a human...

So, if I go to the human kingdom and look up the files, can I find out why he did this?
And it would be even better if we could find this guy's information as well.

Do it when you think of it.

Under the pressure brought by the new moon, the goddess of the underworld looked around cautiously and then closed her eyes.

[Night is detected, divinity rises]

[Connection with the body completed]

[Switching between inner and outer consciousness...]

【Switch successful】

Under the starry sky, the goddess opened her ruby ​​eyes.

"This is... Mount Ebifu, and... wow, the gem is so hard."

With such disgust, she casually threw away the lapis lazuli and turquoise that she had once held in her arms as treasures. The beautiful goddess stood up, and after a quick identification of the direction, she floated into the air somewhat unfamiliarly and flew towards the faint lights in the distance.

Restraining his divine aura, he quietly entered the barrier. What caught the goddess's eyes were lights on the ground that were even brighter than the stars in the sky.

This is a country watched over by mankind and the light of civilization under human rule.

If it were in the past, the goddess who sneaked out would definitely admire and stop to admire it, right? However, this time, she was not in such a mood, but flew straight to the city's divine tower, landed in it, and searched for it with her vague memory.

"I remember eavesdropping before. Many important records that have not been processed by the king are placed in the God Tower. There should be information on how to deal with troublesome guys..."

The anxious goddess quickly found the clay tablets used for recording. She carefully picked up one of them and began to read it by the light of the fire.

"What is this? Information about monsters invading the city? Has the Monster Goddess already started to act... Never mind, it has nothing to do with me."

Put one piece down and pick up another.

"Due to the collective disappearance of the transport team in the rainforest, there are delays in the transportation of supplies. Uh, could it be the work of that foreign god? Next, next."

"The Persian Gulf Observatory detected abnormal magical fluctuations? Not what I'm looking for. Next."

"The being who calls himself Enkidu destroyed three fortress cities. Sigh, next one."

"Due to the increase in the number of refugees, Uruk City can no longer handle it... Humph, so humans are troublesome. If this happened in my underworld..."

"Hey, I was wondering who was mumbling in the tower so late at night. I didn't expect that when I wanted to work overtime on a whim, I would actually see the city god who abandoned Uruk."

"!!!" Ai Lei was startled and looked back subconsciously, and then the king wearing a dark blue waistcoat with a white ribbon flying came into view.

"……Gilgamesh."

"What? Would a god do something like spying on the kingdom's government affairs?" The man's red snake-like eyes locked onto Ai Lei, and he said the name of the goddess in front of him in a joking tone.

"Ishtar."
