Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 473: Old things are the most useless!
Face, that has to be earned through strength.

Enki and Enlil were now just candles in the wind. How could they have the qualifications to negotiate with Eros?
It’s just that Eros is a pacifist. After all, a peaceful transition would save a lot of trouble.

But if Enki and his people were so ignorant, it meant that the opposition within Mesopotamia was extremely fierce and must be dealt with severely.

He made a very direct gesture of taking action. Enki and Enlil's faces froze, and they looked at Eros with great fear, their expressions changing.

If they were going to fight, Eros had already rushed in despite their pressure and the world's rejection.

It's obvious that we can't win. We can't win at all.

Enki's mind raced, searching for a way to break the impasse.

The idea of ​​using force was rejected first, and when a firm bottom-line rejection was not possible, appropriate concessions became a necessary option.

After all, no price is too great to pay and the so-called bottom line and principles are meant to be broken.

Even if Eros wanted him to have a quarrel with Enlil, Enki could do it after weighing the pros and cons.

As long as the benefits are sufficient, anything goes.

After thinking it over again and again, Enki chose to back off.

"Marduk, I will call you by this name for now."

The change of name meant that Enki had given in on the most crucial issue.

"Let's get back to the story of Mesopotamia. Although the god Anu has fallen."

“But He has made arrangements. After the seventh millennium, He will return in a brand new form and take over the authority of heaven.”

"Marduk, I can promise you that during the seven thousand years when Anu is gone, Enlil and I will serve you as our Lord."

"After the return of the god Anu, I can also guarantee that you can still maintain your current status and your throne will still stand tall above the world."

Half of the Mesopotamian world now occupied by Eros was sent away by Enki with just one word.

Not mentioning it just now and just tacitly acquiescing means that if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely find a way to take it back.

By taking the initiative to mention it, it means that Eros has acknowledged his sovereignty over these worlds and promised not to care about it anymore.

Although promises are generally not worth a dime.

"Oh? Seven thousand years, that is indeed a very long time."

Eros showed a half-smile, as if he was really considering it seriously.

"But aren't you afraid that after Astarte and I agree, we will go back on our word and kill you two to suppress Anu who might be resurrected?"

Indeed, the possibility of such a thing was high, and Enki did not deny it.

He did not trust Eros, but He still trusted Astarte.

He first stepped back to stabilize the situation, then looked for an opportunity to persuade Astarte with the old friendship so that she would not do such a drastic thing.

Of course, some necessary measures are also indispensable.

Enji shook his head slightly and said.

"No, because Mesopotamia is so vast, so vast that neither you nor Astarte would be in the mood to govern it."

"So you need me and Enlil, and the Mesopotamian gods still need us to maintain them."

"As for the Resurrection of Anu"

Enki paused and said nothing more.

After all, He has seven thousand years to plan slowly, so there is no need for Him to fight with Eros about this now.

"Very good, you are worthy of being the master of wisdom and water."

Eros clapped his hands lightly, then lowered his head to look at Astarte in his arms, rubbing her ears, and asked in a very affectionate manner.

"So Astarte, my goddess, what do you think of this condition?"

Astarte was provided with ample emotional value, but Enki still wanted to rely on the old feelings between relatives to shake Astarte?
Oh, don’t you know that women and women in love are two completely different creatures?

"Hmm," Astarte pretended to think about it, but in fact he was already thinking about how to let Enki and Enlil retire and return home after he came to power.

Isn't it just that there is a lack of gods to do the work? What the two of them can do, other gods can't do?

If the Mesopotamian gods couldn’t do it, then why couldn’t someone do it for the Greek gods?

If the two of them don't do it, God will do it!

After learning about Eros' origins, Astarte was indeed conflicted, feeling a sense of guilt for bringing the devils into the village.

But Eros comforted him by saying that he was a Greek god in Greece and a Mesopotamian god in Canaan, and they were all one family, so what was the problem?
Even if we take a step back, the union of the two symbolizes the everlasting friendship between Greece and Mesopotamia. How can it be said that it was an intrusion of the devil?

All in all, after Eros's deception and punishment, Astarte soon felt relieved.

And after knowing that Eros was the (fake) Greek God King, Astarte became even more confident.

Now look at Enki and Enlil, they are nothing but chickens and dogs.

Humph, it seems you have absolutely no idea how big my little pearl is.

"Okay, let's leave it at that."

Astarte agreed, and Eros looked as if he would leave it all to her and did not object.

Enki breathed a sigh of relief. At least the overall stability of Mesopotamia was maintained and it would not collapse today.

As for the rest, all we have to do is to do our best and see how things develop.

"In that case, let's not delay any longer and quickly inherit Anu's position."

The situation was extremely urgent, so Enki and Enlil did not delay and immediately summoned the gods of Mesopotamia and took the crown left by Anu.

In front of all the gods, Enki would place the crown of the king of gods on Astarte's head.

I think he had already arranged this matter and the current situation, and the gods did not raise any objections.

"Astarte, we have poured our heart and soul into nurturing our world. Now it's up to you."

Before putting on the crown, Enki spoke earnestly.

It's not that He is nagging, but the current situation is really serious, and the only one who can take the lead is the unreliable Astarte.

"I know, you're so nagging!"

Astarte could not wait any longer and snatched the golden crown of the God King directly from Enki's hand and put it on his own head.

Enki wanted to blame him, but as he looked at Astarte whose aura was rising steadily, he shook his head silently.

But the next moment, he discovered something was wrong.

Logically speaking, Astarte succeeded the position of God-King and took over Mesopotamia.

As the second in command, He and Enlil should be rewarded quickly.

But after such a while, I still didn't feel like I had recovered.

Enki looked up with some doubt, and met Astarte's somewhat malicious smile.

"Now that I am the God King, let me tell you a few things first."

"First, Enki and Enlil are both halves of Anu, and they have suffered heavy losses in the battle with our father."

"I can't bear to see them continue to work so hard. It's better for me to go back and recuperate, and strive to get Anu back as soon as possible."

As soon as he came to power, Astarte struck Enki and Enlil in a way they never expected.

Then, before the two could react, Astarte immediately put on another sweet smile, took Eros' arm and said.

"Then, let me introduce to you my lover who shares the glory of the sky with me and is also the God King of Mesopotamia."

"You can call him Marduk, the one who killed our mother and recreated the world."
