My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 675: You don’t want him to know about this goddess…

"Because of certain things, this king has become curious about the current underworld... Yes, just curious."

"As the king of Uruk, even the underworld, a forbidden place for living beings, is within the reach of my glory."

"The goddess of the underworld? Humph, in my eyes, there is no difference between the urban god who protects the city of Kusa and the stupid goddess who protects the city of Uruk."

“So… can you please let me out? And don’t look at me like I’m a museum exhibit. This will make me look unworthy. Hey!”

At the door of the temple, Gilgamesh, who was imprisoned in a gun cage and suffered the same treatment as Shuoyue, waved his fists and protested fiercely. But the young man standing in front of him not only ignored him, but also had a look of satisfaction as if he had obtained revenge. After admiring Jin Shanshan's ugly appearance enough, Shuoyue turned to look at Ailei.

"That's what the wise king said, the goddess of the underworld."

The long hair was like the warm afternoon sunshine. The girl in a golden-red cloak hid behind Shuoyue, like a curious and alert deer, looking at the king who came from the human world to the underworld. Hearing this, she couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"You're talking as if it's none of your business. It was you who instigated me to lock up the king, wasn't it?"

"Oh, should we let him go?"

"...You know I will definitely refuse, right?" Ailei narrowed her eyes. "If the first time you entered the underworld in order to bury your best friend, then it was understandable. But this time, you came to my world willfully just for the sake of curiosity. There must be a limit to your recklessness."

"You're right, but..." A young man who had forgotten what he had done blinked with an innocent expression, "Why are you telling me?"

"Hmph." The goddess puffed her cheeks and turned her head away.

As the girl moved, her beautiful long hair spread out like flowing water, and the flower on her right ear also swayed slightly, sparkling with a platinum light, which was beautiful beyond words.

Gilgamesh calmed down without knowing when. He looked at the interaction between Shuoyue and Ailei, then his gaze fell on the flowers on the goddess's head, with a subtle confusion in his eyes.

Flowers in the underworld...When did flowers appear in the underworld?

In the underworld filled with the breath of death, any living thing will quickly wither and return to pure death.

Flowers that represent vitality and beauty have no right to appear here.

Just like the young man who was flirting with the goddess of the underworld as if it was a matter of course.

They were all things that were incompatible with the underworld he knew.

Isn't this guy afraid of Ereshkigal, the gloomy, dangerous and lonely goddess of death?

Besides...it seems that he knows me, and we both dislike each other.

Which period of the King did he meet?

If it wasn't for death from overwork, and only the soul came to the underworld, Gilgamesh would have wanted to take out the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence to find out what was going on.

But fortunately, these questions can be answered through communication.

Then, the wise king said, “Will you introduce me to the goddess Eleshkigal?”

"Who is this young man who can come and go freely in the underworld and who is even closely related to you?"

"Eh? The goddess was stunned at first, and then she reacted with a slightly red face: "Who... who is on good terms with him! I don't like him, at most I just don't hate him... No!"

Realizing that she seemed to have let something slip, Ai Lei hurriedly changed her words: "Don't overthink it. He is also a prisoner of this goddess, just like you! The difference between the two of you is nothing more than the difference between a new prisoner and a prisoner in charge!"

"Wow, it seems that I haven't been to the underworld often enough. I was beaten to the spot by an unknown guy."

Gilgamesh could see that Elle was trying to hide her true feelings, but compared to the goddess's love history, he was more concerned about the young man standing next to the goddess.

The King's clairvoyance can see the future, but there is no trace of this young man in the future. It is not like the Magic King, who is covered by the mask of the Grand Assassin, but he cannot be seen.

Simply invisible.

This is difficult to understand, because as long as there is a being that has set foot on this planet, whether it is human or god, it will be recorded by the sea of ​​​​stars and converted into intelligence that can be observed by the clairvoyance - there is no possibility of being unobservable, there is only a matter of whether or not one is willing.

Unless... at some point in time, he broke away from the records of the planet and became another life form that was completely different from the texture of this time, this moment, and this place.

But in that case, can he still be considered a 'living being'?

What happened to make him become like that?

"Are you curious about who I am?" The wise king thought too deeply and long-term, and even Shuoyue subtly misunderstood him. "Since you are the king who ruled Uruk wisely, then you should be able to guess my identity."

"Hmph." Gilgamesh came back to his senses from his contemplation and snorted disdainfully, "Don't ask unnecessary questions, bastard. Since you know this king but have no respect for him, you must not be a human living in Mesopotamia."

"There is no scent of a familiar on him, which means he is not a Servant."

"Since he can move freely in the underworld, he is obviously not a lackey of the other two goddesses."

"Hmm, so, what's your answer?"

"Ha." Wang responded with a controlled smile, then spoke loudly.

"So you are the blunderbuss (the sound is muted here) that the goddess of the underworld created out of her boredom and desire for love day after day!"

As soon as the words fell, Ai Lei's eyes widened and she instantly became angry: "What did you say?"

As the goddess screamed, the underworld shook violently, and an indescribable pressure descended from the sky, almost completely crushing mortals and making them victims of the goddess's wrath.

However, the two men in front of Ailei were not good guys. One was a pleasure monster who, although he had suppressed his nature as a wise king, his evil taste would still surface from time to time. The other was a magician who had no worries and was gradually developing into a fun-loving person. Facing the goddess with a blushing face, the two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Not bad, not bad. I like this explanation. Oh, if it's Miss Elle from the underworld, I can accept this setting."

"You are not angry at all? You are much better than those hypocritical guys. Not bad, Silver-haired One. I have changed my mind about you."

"Are you two going too far?" The goddess who was left aside clenched her fists and stared hungrily.

I couldn't stand it anymore and punched them to pieces.

"If you want to chat, leave the underworld now, immediately!"

The persecuted goddess issued an ultimatum, but the wise king was different from the unscrupulous tyrant of the past. Even if it was a joke, he would never be unprepared.

"Huh, that's really strange, isn't this the way things are?" Under the gaze of Shuoyue and Ailei, Gilgamesh suddenly showed a puzzled expression.

"I clearly remember that someone once borrowed the body of the goddess Ishtar and sneaked into my sacred tower..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Before Gilgamesh could finish, Ailei jumped up in a hurry as if her butt was on fire: "Quick, quick, quick, stop it! Don't say any more!"

“Heh…” The wise king smiled evilly. At this moment, he was no longer sitting high on the throne, a monarch known for his wisdom. In the deep underground where his old friends were sleeping, he seemed to have found back the lawless joy he had when he was adventuring in the past.

"Goddess, you don't want this silver-haired guy to know what you did, right?"
