Ares, God of War

"I understand." Dumuzi suddenly said, "I should ask Marduk for help."

"That's right." Ares nodded with a smile.

Chapter 71. Good Brother Sun God

For Dumuzi and the gods, the dispute between Dumuzi and Enqimudu this time is nothing more than some ethical family affairs in the house of Nanna, the moon god.

But Ares doesn't think so. He always considers many aspects when doing things. This time, he not only wants to use this incident to obtain Enqimudu's godhood of the god of agriculture, but also uses it to intensify Mesopotamia. The conflict between the two factions.

In fact, in this matter, Dumuzi is the most innocent, but the behavior of Ishtar and Enqimudu can only be said to be immoral. The real culprit is actually the one who forced Ishtar to commit suicide. Married to Shamash, the sun god of Dumuz.

His self-willedness led to today's conflict, and also gave Ares an excellent opportunity to provoke the conflict between Marduk and Enlil.

Thank you Sun God, good brother Sun God.

Before Dumuzi went to ask Marduk for help, Ares played on the spot and wrote him a "speech draft" of more than [-] words. The specific content in it was basically for Dumuzi to tell Marduk Ke cried and complained about his grievances as a male god and God of War, but between the lines, he revealed a very different meaning.

For example, Marduk can take this opportunity to attack the influence of the Enlil faction, accuse Enlil of being unjust as a god-king, and the behavior of family members is too depraved, etc., and even if he does well, he can force Enlil himself Cut off the wings to prove innocence.

This kind of meaning may not be heard by other gods, but Ares believes that Marduk must be able to vaguely realize that after all, he is a person who has killed Enlil against the version by virtue of his own efforts and struggles. The god who tops the throne of the king of gods.

Sure enough, after Dumuzi memorized Ares's speech, and after brewing his emotions, he went to the temple of Marduk in Babylon to cry to him, Marduk immediately patted Dumuzi on the shoulder and expressed that he was The god of fairness and justice must help Dumuzi who is being bullied to seek justice.

Then, Marduk took his father Enki, the water god, to the heaven together, and put pressure on the gods Anu and Enlil, trying to get involved in this matter.

Seeing this, Ares also sent one of his avatars to the heavens. He first revealed his identity as Hades, and then stood on Marduk's side, trying to support his "good brother" Dumuzi.

Under the pressure exerted by Marduk and Ares, the gods Anu and Enlil could only choose to give in and let them participate.

The four big brothers discussed in the palace of the god Anu for three months, and then finally finalized the location of the duel.

This place cannot be the sky, nor can it be the underworld, because it is necessary to prevent the possibility of Anu and Ares cheating at the same time. The duel between the two gods does not need to be witnessed by mortals, so this place must be out of reach of mortals. On the earth, just in time, in order to establish a new order of the underworld, Ares built an independent folding space, just in front of the gate of the underworld, so the place of the duel was determined to be next to the lake, just in front of the gate of the underworld. In front of the gate of Hades.

While the four big brothers were discussing the location of the duel, Ares was still not idle. He was focused on three tasks, [-]% of his energy was on building the underworld, and [-]% of his energy was on fighting with Anu. Enlil babbled, and the remaining [-]% of his energy was spent on Dumuzi.

Since Ishtar wants to help Enqimudu open the hook, then in order to be fair, he has to help Dumuzi open the hang again, and then the two of them will hang out for a walk to see whose hang is more sharp.

Three months later, in Dumuzi's shrine, the former god of animal husbandry was now covered with traces of tempering, even on his handsome face, there were a few more scratches.

Silently in the shrine, he wrapped his right arm tightly with a bandage, and then stood up from his seat.

"Dumuz."

On the crossbeam next to him, Ares' white dove clone warned him:

"Remember, this is a move that kills one thousand enemies and destroys eight hundred. Once you use this move, Enqimudu will die without a place to bury you, and at the same time you will fall into the underworld."

"I see."

Dumuzi took a deep breath:

"No matter what I say, I used to be the king of Uruk, the god of shepherd revered by all things in the world, and I have already made up my mind!"

"Okay, then Ai Lei and I will wait for you at the duel location."

After Ares finished speaking, his white dove clone disintegrated directly, turning into pieces of white feathers, and then the feathers turned into light spots, and finally disappeared.

After Dumuzi got ready, he got up and rushed to the scene of the duel.

When he passed through the folded space and arrived at the gate of Hades, all the gods had basically rushed to the scene, and three stone thrones were placed on the white clouds. Enlil, the god Anu and Mardu Kedu has already seated there, and behind them are the moon god Nanna, the sun god Shamash, the thunderstorm lord Adad, the army god Ninurta, the light god Ugu, the fire god Gebir and other gods, listed in the cloud.

On the ground, Enqimudu has arrived at the scene, and now Ishtar is preparing protective gear and weapons for him, and is telling him something. Judging by the much stronger aura on his body, it is obvious that Enqimudu The number of godheads on his body has increased.

When he saw Ishtar's gentle look towards Enqimudu, Dumuzi felt a pain in his heart, but he didn't say anything, but walked to the other side silently and stood by Enqimudu. directly opposite.

A moment later, the gate of the underworld also roared suddenly, the green space vortex in the middle of the gate disappeared, and the scene of the underworld appeared directly on the opposite side, and then Nergal, who was already the king of the underworld, and the former underworld king Ai who wore a bronze mask Reshkigal came hand in hand, and when the two of them crossed the gate of Hades, the black death energy in Hades also turned into black mist, which spread out from the gate of Hades like a carpet, covering the surrounding ground. It has also been eroded into the environment of the underworld.

Seeing this scene, the emotions of the gods were a little shaken. Even the god Anu and the lord of the world Enlil couldn't help frowning, but fortunately Ares only manipulated the death energy of the underworld. There was only a piece of paving in front of the door, and then a pair of black iron thrones rose up in the black mist. Ares took Ailei's hand and sat on the pair of thrones with her.

"It seems that the last Pluto is also here."

Marduk smiled at this, looked at Enlil beside him, and said to him:

"Enlil, shouldn't it start now?"

Enlil didn't reply, but he stood up holding the slate of fate, and said loudly:

"Under the witness of the Slate of Destiny, I declare that the duel between Dumuzi and Enqimudu has officially begun! Both sides have no restrictions on weapons and means, until one party dies or surrenders!"

Chapter 72. Ishtar's True Love

With Enlil's order, the duel between Dumuzi and Enkimudu finally kicked off.

Huge divine power emerged from the bodies of the two gods. After several months of training, the plague and war godheads in Dumuzi's body had completely merged with him. It can be said that he is the former Nergal.

The divine power with billowing purple energy overflowed from every pore on his body, turning into a deadly plague cloud, and then, under the influence of the Godhead of War, this plague cloud turned into a flame-like transpiration and burning appearance.

The vegetation beside Dumuzi was also affected by him, and began to show various diseases, and eventually withered and died quickly, falling into the soil.

After accepting the two godheads of Ares, Dumuzi's power at this moment is already incomparable. Mudu also erupted with a power that was not inferior to him, or even stronger than him.

The divine power full of vitality radiated from the green-haired man and spread in all directions. Unlike Dumuzi, the vegetation affected by his divine power all grew wildly at this moment, and all gradually alienated into a Edible plants soon formed a farmland and orchard around him.

But the pure divine power attribute of Enqimudu was also affected, and his divine power also began to show an obvious tendency to attack, and even the vegetation and fruit trees born because of his divine power seemed to be brought into battle. attributes, the shape becomes straight, like a soldier ready to go.

What's more, unlike Dumuzi, who was empty-handed, this god of agriculture also wore battle armor and held weapons in his hands. His weapons were like sickles used by farmers to harvest wheat, but they couldn't be ignored. Its sharpness, after all, many weapons are transformed from agricultural tools.

Sure enough, Ishtar gave him a lot of tricks.
