Ares, God of War

Ares looked away, muttering a little guilty.

The time concept of the gods is different from that of human beings. It may take more than a year for their banquet, from the beginning to the end, and then to the return journey, until Goddess Ningsun and Lugalbanda return to Ulu Ke, it is estimated that Uruk will not be their final decision.

Following Goddess Ningsun, Ares walked on the road of the gods, and soon came to the heaven. After they passed the inspection of the gatekeeper of the heaven, Jizzida, they passed the long road to heaven, and then they passed the long road to the sky in the presence of the god Anu. Led by Minister Ilabrate, they came to the banquet venue of the gods.

Ilabrate led them to sit down among the group of gods. The seats of the group of gods were orderly, and the ones at the highest seat were the host of the banquet, the father of the gods, Anu, and the queen of heaven. Antum, and the current king of gods, Enlil, lord of spirits and worlds.

Then next, there is a group of second and third generation gods with the highest status among the gods, Marduk, the god of war who defeated Tiamat, the second son of Anu, Marduk's father, the water god Enki, and the goddess of love. Ishtar, the sun god Shamash, and their father, the moon god Nanna, as well as the mother of Gilgamesh, the goddess Ningsun, and Lugalbanda who had just guarded Anu's award.

In the back, there is a large group of patron saints from various city-states. Although they also have the same godheads as the previous great gods, they are a level behind them in terms of godhead strength. For example, the godhead of war alone, except Ah Besides Rais, there are a bunch of gods such as Ilula and Zababa who hold it, but none of them can compare to the glorious Marduk.

Nergal, incarnated by Ares, was also placed among these gods as the patron saint of Kutu at this time. Very near the front, here, he can see the vacant position at the end of those great gods, which is reserved for the current Pluto Ereshkigal, and further forward from her position is the place of light. The god Ugu, the fire god Jijir, etc. have the status of the second and third generation gods, but the great gods who have a low sense of existence.

After being led to sit in his seat by Ilablat, and a waiter served him wine, Ares picked up the wine glass, using it as a cover, and began to quietly observe the people at the banquet. Come on.

Chapter 43. The Sumerian Gods

"Um……"

Ares's eyes wandered, and his eyes quietly passed over the Sumerian gods sitting in the main seat, observing them.

Anu, the god of the sky, Enlil, the lord of the world, and Marduk, the lord of the gods, these three generations of Sumerian god kings, after careful observation by Ares, found that their strength...in fact, it was just that.

It may be slightly stronger than the usual main gods of Greece, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, etc., but their strength is limited. Compared with Zeus, who was in full bloom with Thunder in his hand, he was far inferior.

Ares speculates that this may be because their "models" are older than those of the Greek gods. After all, the Sumerian mythology is the first batch of star crafts born after the collapse of the original gods on the earth. The gods themselves are not outsiders, but native earth life forms, and have not experienced any pollution from foreign objects. They are pure natural and original ecological gods.

But this does not mean that they are very strong. In fact, after a horizontal comparison of several myths infected by foreign things, it will be found that the Sumerian gods who have not absorbed any foreign technology are almost the same in terms of individual combat ability. the weakest.

Although in Anu's heavenly palace, the Sumerian gods are lined up densely, which seems to be more than the number of gods at the peak of the Olympus pantheon, but in fact, from the individual In terms of combat effectiveness, they are worse than Mount Olympus.

Take the top three combat power here, the god Anu, the lord of the world Enlil and the god of war Marduk, even if the three of them fight together, it is hard to say that they can beat Zeus who held the thunder in his hand. .

Not to mention, if you want to compare combat power horizontally, the Olympus gods should also count the defeated Titans suppressed by Tartarus. In this way, Sumer's combat power will be seriously Not enough...

But it’s hard to say, from the age point of view, Sumer’s era is older than Greek mythology, according to the iron rule of “older, stronger” in the world of gods, the three big bosses sitting on the top have It is not certain that there is no hole card hidden.

For example...

Ares' eyes moved to the waist of Enlil, the current lord of the world, where there was a stone tablet shaped like a tombstone, engraved with mysterious characters.

That is the most famous treasure in Sumerian mythology, the tablet of destiny that connects the destiny of all things in the world, and it is also the highest symbol of royal power in the mythological world of Mesopotamia.

It can be said that whoever owns this slate has the highest right to speak in the world, and other gods and men can only obey, just like the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in China.

Of course, the power of this stone slab is far more than that. It is rumored that it can control the fate of all things, but only those who are qualified to control the stone slab can use its power.

It is rumored that Enlil once had a god who served him. It was a strange bird named "Anzu", a god who could call strong winds and giant clouds.

While Enlil was bathing in the mountain spring, Anzu quietly stole the Tablet of Fate and wanted to become king by himself, but unfortunately, he was not qualified to control the Tablet of Fate, so his actions were in vain. Everything in the world was plunged into darkness. In the end, Anzu failed to use the power of the Slate of Fate. It was found and subdued by Ninurta, the son of Enlil, the military god in charge of the storm, and the Slate of Fate returned. The original owner, who was himself brought before Enlil to be executed, became forever a historical symbol.

Through the observation just now, Ares indeed sensed the power of "fate" from this stone slab, which is exactly the same as the three goddesses of fate. If Ares guessed correctly, this slate should be Gaia's contact with this age of gods. The small world is the "terminal device" that ensures the operation of history.

Secretly calculating the combat power of the Sumerian gods in his heart, Ares continued to move his eyes downward, and began to observe the moon god Nanna, water god Enki and other great gods. Their status in Sumerian mythology was almost equal. Although the main gods in the Greek gods are weaker than the main gods of Greece, they should not be underestimated just to be on the safe side.

Looking at it, Ares' eyes were attracted by Ishtar who was sitting among the great gods. It was not because Ishtar was dressed the least and showed the most. Reese had seen a lot on Mount Olympus.

When the Twelve Lord Gods of Olympus held a meeting, Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, was directly opposite his seat. That woman dressed as if she was seducing others to commit crimes every day, but Ares had seen her many times before. The first time he was in a mess on Mount Olympus, so he was immune to this kind of clothing.

Although Ishtar's current body is much more revealing, frankly speaking, it is not as attractive as the pink veil that Aphrodite matched herself, and Ishtar's figure is not as good as Aphrodite's Curvy and enchanting.

The reason why Ares paid attention to her was because there was nothing he could do. After looking around, he found that the most powerful person present, apart from the three bosses sitting above, seemed to be the Goddess of War, Ishtar. up.

This goddess has an exquisite face and fair skin, and her whole body looks like a beautiful girl in the stage of a human high school student, but she does not use a human body now, so she is still in a divine state, The hair color looks black with red in it, and there is a complex red tattoo on his forehead.

And for some reason, her complexion at this time looks so stinky, just like her mother who just died.

Perhaps it was because Ares' eyes stayed on her for too long, so the goddess also noticed that Ares was watching her quietly, so she turned her head and gave Ares an angry look. , and shouted to him:

"What are you looking at?!"

"..."

Ares looked back, took a sip from the wine glass on the table, and took the opportunity to hide his embarrassment. At this time, a blond young man beside him suddenly apologized to him:

"I'm sorry, God Nergal, Ishtar has encountered some things recently, and she has a bad temper."

"Oh, I don't mind that."

Nergal picked up the wine glass, raised it to the god who spoke to him, and asked:

"I don't know if your Excellency is..."

"Hehe, I was also king in Uruk once."

The blond young man smiled and picked up the wine glass, lightly clinked the glass with Ares, who was looking fierce at this time, and said:

"But now that I have ascended to the position of God, you can just call me Dumuzi."

Chapter 44. Is the friend you mentioned really you?

Dumuz...

Hearing this name, Ariston immediately understood the identity of the blond young man in front of him.

He is a god of shepherd worshiped by everyone in Sumerian mythology in Mesopotamia, and he also sat on the throne in Uruk for a period of time. It can be said that he is a very famous person in Sumerian mythology. gods.

But one of his most talked about anecdotes is his love triangle with the goddess Ishtar and the god of agriculture Enkimudu.
