Holy Grail War, but the Immortal Grail

"Because the mother's authority is to conceive, and this is all she can do, so as long as she still exists, the process of conceiving life will continue."

Ishtar explained to Li Huang the real reason why the god Tiamat was abandoned.

It wasn't entirely that the gods wanted to betray her, but that the planet, and even the will of the primates, could not tolerate Tiamat's existence.

When the planet's environment is stabilized and the ecosystem is established, Tiamat, who is not satisfied with this, will continue the process of [creation] based on her own instincts.

This is not allowed by the world. Creating a new ecosystem means conflict with the original ecosystem, and what is finally born is an abominable monster like Rahm.

Therefore, Tiamat was banished as useless by the suppressive power, and has been locked in the imaginary world without life, which is equivalent to the back side of the world, until eternity.

But now she is back. Through the collapse of the foundation of human nature and the power of the Holy Grail, Tiamat has returned to this side of the world.

Holding the principle of "return", we began to eradicate human beings, trying to completely change the earth's ecosystem again, return to the mother of all things, and recreate creation and nurturing.

"Is this the only thing you want to see?" Li Huang said in an urging tone.

Even though Tiamat is still in a state of self-restraint now, Li Huang is worried that Lachem from the sea will come out to cause trouble if he stays there for a long time.

You must know that there are hundreds of millions of Lachem here. If they are surrounded, they may really be beaten directly by the crowd tactics.

and--

Before Li Huang could warn Tiamat about the danger of continuing Ishtar, Tiamat on the sea used her only movable head to let out a cry like a chant.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa—"

The song seemed to turn into sound waves, setting off a huge storm on the sea level, and the waves rolled one after another.

The sound wave rolled up the tide and attacked the two people in the sky, but fortunately its attack intention was not strong and Li Huang easily dodged it.

Was that some kind of power to control the waves that Tiamat used just now?wrong!It was just her simply making a magical voice.

It's just that the magic power in Tiamat's body is so terrifying that it causes such an exaggerated phenomenon.

The surrounding Lahms also became restless under the influence of Tiamat's voice, and launched an attack on Li Huang and Ishtar in the sky.

"Get out of here!"

Sending out a voice that sounded like a command, Ishtar's red eyes were rendered golden by divinity at this moment, isolating all the Rahim who tried to rush towards him.

She used her authority to charm this world, and then isolated herself from those Lachems. She also ignored the voice made by Tiamat and rushed straight towards Tiamat's body.

Without much hindrance other than the singing, Ishtar came to the front of God Tiamat, and the two gods looked at each other.

She could feel the sadness conveyed to her in her mother's eyes.

Ishtar understood why the older gods always looked sad when they mentioned their mother.

Not because they feel guilty about rebelling against their mother, but because they are grieving for their mother.

As the mother of the gods, her motherly love for her children is absolute. Since she cannot resist her instinct as a creature, she can also understand the children's desire to stay away from her, or even to exile herself and seal herself.

But she still couldn't resist the instinct to be close to the children. For the mother, the act of creation was proof of being close to the children.

Tiamat lamented, hating the fact that the collective unconscious of humanity "no longer needs you" and expelled it, but in her deep consciousness she accepted that as "it was helpless".

Tiamat, whose origin is "mother", also had the desire to be the refuge of mankind until the very end.

The chain sealing itself is its materialization.

"Don't get close to her again."

When Ishtar couldn't help but want to get close to Tiamat, Li Huang reached out to stop her behavior.

"Your closeness is cruel to her who is unconscious."

The closer she gets to her child, the more Tiamat's instinct will be to follow the principle of "creation" of return, and to love her child while at the same time personally destroying her child. She has been suppressing this instinct of hers all her life.

Her love means destruction. She wants to be close to her children but at the same time resists her creative instinct: she feels angry that the children betray her, but she cannot give up her love for them.

She is such an extremely contradictory beast.

"Of course I understand that." Slapping Li Huang's hand away, Ishtar looked dissatisfied at this guy who touched her at will.

Having figured out what he wanted to know and achieved the purpose of his trip, Ishtar turned around and snapped his fingers, using the authority of the goddess to open a portal leading to the temple.

"Let's go."

After waving his hand to signal Li Huang to come in as well, Ishtar took the initiative and walked in regardless.

Chapter 63: Are there too many slutty women around me?

Following Ishtar to her temple, in this magnificent space, the white-haired goddess felt a little more casual.

"Human, do you want me to help you defeat your mother?" Ishtar reconfirmed Li Huang's request.

"It's definitely a lie if you say you don't want to, but if you don't want to help, there's nothing you can do." Li Huang answered Ishtar's question in a casual tone.

In a battle, no one would dislike one's own side's lack of combat effectiveness. The more troops Han Xin ordered, the better.

"If you want me to help you, that's not impossible." Ishtar had a mysterious smile on his face, like a little devil.

In fact, it is not so much that Ishtar wants to help Li Huang, but that the two of them have achieved the same goal.

After witnessing the painful scene of her mother's self-restraint and confirming the fact that her mother still loved the child she created, Ishtar made up her mind to bid farewell to her mother.

Is it hard to understand?

After all, as the mistress of heaven, Ishtar has inherited some of Tiamat's attributes as the mother goddess. She will be as gentle as a mother caring for her children when she treats believers who are loyal to her.

The gods are destined to say goodbye to their mother, just like what Ishtar experienced, and humans are destined to say goodbye to the gods and use their own feet to walk and open up their own era.

For a mother, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing her child survive alone.

In Mesopotamia, where all gods do not exist today, as the only god still active on this land, Ishtar has the responsibility to take on the task of sending off his mother.

It's just...

Ishtar took out a small bottle made of unknown material, with a malicious smile on his face.

The bottle is made of either pottery or glass, and its smooth surface is translucent, so you can see some mysterious liquid sloshing inside.

Li Huang is very familiar with this thing. Isn't this the bottle of elixir that he poured into Ishtar?How could it appear in Ishtar's hands?

Looking at Ishtar's malicious smile, Li Huang suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Even if the relationship between the two parties is the same, Ishtar will obviously not let it go so easily if Li Huang offends her.

He made such a big embarrassment of himself, and kept him by his side for three months like a pervert, and kept mumbling all kinds of annoying curses in his ears.

If Li Huang's strength hadn't been too exaggerated, he might not be able to defeat him, and if his courage to destroy the underworld had attracted some favor, Ishtar wouldn't even have given him a chance to have a normal conversation.

In short, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. If you want the goddess to take action, you have to pay corresponding sacrifices. This is common sense in Mesopotamia.

"Besides drinking the elixir and then what?"

Anyway, drinking the elixir will not change his abilities much. Li Huang felt that there was no big problem in agreeing to Ishtar's request.

"I need to think about this carefully." Ishtar put her finger to her lips a little deliberately, showing a troubled expression, and her body was filled with the youthful vitality of a girl.

Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she smiled slightly, put her head to Li Huang's ear, breathed out a breath of hot air, and said in a teasing way:

"How about you leave Eilish and become my male favorite?"

There was a hint of determination in her frivolous tone, and from the smile on Ishtar's face, Li Huang couldn't tell for a moment whether she was serious or joking.

"As long as you promise me, we will hold the ceremony now. It only takes one night, and the next day you can claim to be 'Ishtar's male favorite'."

"If you were more powerful, maybe I would get pregnant?"

"Then you will broadcast the process of creating a human to Ailei, right?" Li Huang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Ishtar's request was mostly to make fun of himself.

He just said that he was not a harem hero, how could he fall in love with a woman he met casually?

"If you can't bear it, you can send photos." Ishtar said, pointing to the camera hanging around Li Huang's neck. He usually used this to send shameful photos of himself.

All joking aside, Li Huang still felt uncomfortable with Ishtar being so close to him. He turned away to keep Ishtar's face slightly away from his.

"Seriously, what do you want?"

"I haven't thought about this for the moment. Let's just think of it as a favor. Maybe I'll think of it the next time we meet."

"You mean we will meet again in the future?" Li Huang always felt that there was something in this woman's words.

Just drinking the elixir and adding a favor, this request made by Ishtar is not too much; even for a goddess like her who is famous for her badness in mythology, this request is already considered tolerant.

Speaking of which, apart from Melu Xin, including Meili, Lenis and now Ishtar, how come his luck in love affairs is all related to disdain for women.

.......

All in all, with the help of Yongmei Luxin and Quetzal Coatl, Chaldea and his party could deal with Rahm quite easily.

Compared with Li Huang's introduction, they could feel more how disgusting this thing was after getting close to it.

And it's not just disgusting, this creature is disgusting in various aspects.

Not to mention its strange appearance, it will also emit bursts of weird laughter from time to time during the battle, which can easily cause both physical and psychological discomfort to people.

But its strength is at the top level. Without the help of the two exceptional reinforcements, Chaldea alone would not be able to clear out the hundreds of Lachems that invaded Uruk.

"We are back." Returning to the pagoda again, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu's faces looked a little tired at this moment.

Starting in the morning to Cusa to fight the Leopard Men, then at noon to Eridu to fight Quetzalcoatl, and now to drive out Lachem.

After three battles in one day, they barely had a good rest.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gilgamesh stood with the Chaldeans and expressed condolences.

Although I have just met these people not long ago.

But based on their single-handed feat of pulling the forest goddess into Uruk's camp, Gilgamesh felt that he had no reason to disapprove of them.

While Chaldea struggled to resist, he had given the final order for the people who wanted to take refuge to move to the north face.

This also means that his duty as king has ended, so he took the initiative to leave the throne.

Chapter 64: Ishtar’s bad taste

There are many treasures in his Babylonian treasury, but the only thing that can really cause harm to God Tiamat is his own Sword of Absurdity.

You only have one chance, so you must use it as a sure-kill trump card.

Gilgamesh browsed his treasure house for a while, and after realizing that Li Huang had not returned yet, he was too lazy to waste time waiting, and directly started the war meeting against Tiamat.
