My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 762: 'Chasing Souls in the Underworld'

With the efficiency of the operation as if it was eight times faster, everyone quickly rushed back to Uruk from Mount Ebifu. However, even if they set out at the same time, the impatient goddess drove the sky boat ahead and arrived at the destination first.

As soon as they entered the temple, they had the opportunity to hear the traditional art performance of Uruk's oldest crosstalk duo.

"Welcome back, my outstanding warriors. Hahahahaha, and that shameless goddess who ran away from home and came back, how do you feel about joining my army?"

“Who said I want to join your army? I just signed a contract with that master as a client! Just wait and see. Before that guy completes the commission, whether he dies or is blown to pieces, I will revive him! By then, you will definitely say, “Oh, Ishtar is indeed the goddess of victory. Very good, I will die now.”

"Who's going to die, idiot!"

"What are you doing? I really shouldn't have come here!"

So the goddess in the hall put her hands on the back of her head, snorted coldly and turned away, and the king on the throne propped up his cheek and turned his face away unhappily. Fujimaru couldn't find a more appropriate word to describe the current scene except for the children's playful quarrel.

"You two, please stop here." The chief priest sandwiched between the goddess and the king finally spoke, "No matter what the reason is, it is a great honor for the city god to descend here."

After a pause, she said calmly, "Let's just let the [ranch owner's loss report] go by the wayside."

"Gu." Facing the most pious Miss Siduri, even a spoiled Ishtar could not stand up. "Okay, I get it! Let's get back to business. That guy said he could get the answer by coming to Uruk. Hey, naked king, tell me who did this!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes, rarely showing anger or sarcasm, but acting ambiguous instead.

"Don't dress this goddess!" Ishtar said angrily, "Who on earth is using my body in the middle of the night?"

Hearing this, Gilgamesh's expression changed slightly, and he looked calmly at Shuoyue who had just walked in. The two looked at each other, and then their eyes separated. He pursed his lips and nodded.

"This king knows."

"where is it?"

The goddess' eyes lit up. Gilgamesh remained expressionless and tapped the ground with his toes.

"It's right here. Go find her and ask her for the truth."

"Here?" Fujimaru lowered his head and looked curiously at the golden fired bricks that were newly laid in the palace, unable to hide his confusion.

Is there something hidden here?

Obviously, these were puzzling words, but the expression of the goddess Ishtar clearly became strange. She stared at the floor tiles of the palace, her hands folded across her chest, her black hair flying silently, and she looked very resistant, but the blood color on her lips faded, and Fujimaru could even hear a few whispers of suppressed fear.

"Sure enough... this guy..."

"How dare you... do this to me..."

I always feel that this goddess came to Uruk not to find answers, but to verify a long-standing hypothesis.

But what exactly is that conjecture?

"Don't guess blindly, Fujimaru." Sakutsuki finally spoke, and said bluntly, "The king is talking about the underworld."

“Ugh!” Ishtar was furious, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “You are not allowed to say that name! Damn it, why is that woman Eleshkigal so haunting? I didn’t expect that she would be resurrected… What the hell is going on!”

“About this matter~” Merlin put his hands to his lips and said, “Hey——Roman from Chaldea——”

"Here, here!" Roman's energetic voice came from the communication bracelet.

"Let's sort out the information we have so far. According to the joint observations of the Ziggurat and Chaldea, there is only one god with Sumerian divinity in this era. But if what the king and Shuoyue said is correct, then the impossible phenomenon of Ishtar, the 'Mistress of the Sky', and Ereshkigal, the 'Mistress of the Underworld', appearing together has occurred... I see, I see, I understand the principle. Hey, Merlin class representative over there, please summarize it for me~~~"

"That's enough. Two grown men are acting like childish ghosts." Anna complained weakly. Mei Liangxin just laughed and explained for everyone:
"It's because of Ishtar." "Huh?"

Merlin pointed his finger at Ishtar and said with a smile, "When you were summoned, Eleshkigal was also summoned."

"Huh?! Wait... wasn't I summoned by the miko?"

"But according to the report, the head witch who successfully completed the summoning died. Ishtar, do you have this memory?"

"Dead, dead? How could that be? I clearly drove the Sky Boat away after I woke up."

"Well, I'm afraid he was killed by Eleshkigal. After all, you two goddesses are one and the same, which means you have the same divinity. No wonder the investigation results only showed one divinity."

"So, it turned out that it was that guy who used my body without permission, hehe..."

"Hey, Fujimaru." At this moment, Sakutsuki poked the thoughtful Fujimaru and winked, "Have you considered bringing the head priestess who summoned Ishtar back to Uruk?"

"Eh? Why?"

"Look, that's a super-lucky guy who drew two golds with one call." The young man said happily, "Wouldn't it be a huge profit if you let her help you draw from the pool in the future?"

"This..." Fujimaru twitched his lips, and countless tragic memories suddenly awakened and began to attack him, "It seems... to make sense."

"Don't listen to Sakutsuki's tricks, Fujimaru!" the doctor shouted, "That miko is dead, and this is a singularity!"

boom!
The goddess stomped her foot on the ground, creating several cracks. "Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. Fujimaru, let's go!"

"Okay..." Fujimaru responded subconsciously, then suddenly realized, "Wait, where are we going?"

"Go to hell!"

"Eh!!!"

"No, it's literal!" Ishtar raised her arm, pointed her index finger and thumb, and made a 'pistol' gesture, and said murderously, "I will use my treasure to bombard the earth and knock open the door to the underworld!"

Divinity began to rise, and the goddess's light red eyes began to turn golden. Amid the whistling sound of magic power rubbing against the air, the doctor's timely explanation came: "In the Age of Gods, the sky, the earth, and the underworld are all woven on the same fabric. They are not realms of other dimensions, but are truly connected to the soil of this world. This means..."

"In other words, we can reach the underworld as long as we blast the ground open!" Ishtar laughed. "Let's go! Load the bow gunports of the Maana with tidal cluster bombs. The output is one-third of the second side of lapis lazuli—"

Before this woman finally went crazy, golden ripples instantly covered the entire palace, countless staffs emerged from the treasury, accompanied by the mysterious awakening that shuttled through it, and a super-giant suppression magic circle was formed in the blink of an eye. Under the collision of divinity and magic power, the goddess's accumulated big move was held back.

"Are you planning to tear down this palace, idiot? This is the palace I just built!" The King of Uruk felt the murderous aura behind the goddess, and his eyebrows twitched. "Besides, who said that this is the only stupid way to reach the underworld!"

"What did you say?" Ishtar covered her forehead. "Besides this, is there any other way to break into the underworld of that autistic guy?"

"Of course we have to go in, walk along the passage! At this point, there is no need for me to hide - there is a secret passage between Uruk and the underworld, right under my palace!"

"ha?!!"

This time, not only Ishtar, Fujimaru and others, but even Merlin and Siduri raised their eyebrows in surprise, unable to believe it.

Is Uruk connected to the underworld?

When did this happen?
