But most of what Gilgamesh heard were myths and legends about Marduk.
As for the information related to the Tablet of Destiny, there is no information at all.
The city of Babylon has a new city and a main city, and the dividing line between the two is the Euphrates River that runs through Babylon.
At the same time, a tall city wall was built on the banks of the Euphrates River. This city wall was not only the main barrier to resist the enemy, but also a reliable embankment to protect the city of Babylon from the flood of the river.
Between the new city and the main city, there is a bridge across the Euphrates River, connecting the new city and the main city.
This kind of construction technology may not be a big deal in modern times, but in the Babylonian period, it was a very remarkable craft.
The northern city where the Ishtar Temple is located belongs to the main city, and now Gilgamesh plans to pass the bridge in front of him and go to the new city to have a look.
Perhaps, in the new urban area, some useful clues can be found.
Because of the unfamiliarity of life and place, Gilgamesh didn't know where he had gone or where he was going.
For this reason, Gilgamesh can only remember the path he has traveled while walking, so that he can find the way back when he gets lost.
Before he knew it, the sky was already dark. Looking at the angle of the setting sun, Gilgamesh predicted that the night was coming.
But in the dark night of Babylon City, there is no lighting, and some are just hazy moonlight covering the earth, and the visibility is very low.
Therefore, Gilgamesh, who found nothing, planned to go home first, and then continue to look for useful information in the daytime tomorrow.
Not only Gilgamesh, most of the people outside also chose to go home before the night fell.
In the hearts of human beings today, they still have a strong sense of awe for the dark night.
After all, night represents the unknown.
On the way back, Gilgamesh saw two young children playing by a branch of the Euphrates.
This was an extremely ordinary scene, but Gilgamesh stopped with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.
In Gilgamesh's eyes, he saw that the surface of the river behind the two children suddenly began to surge and boil, as if something was about to emerge from the bottom of the river.
Gilgamesh also thought about the possibility of some big fish making the movement, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't look like it.
Just when Gilgamesh was in doubt, things in the water gradually emerged.
The first thing Gilgamesh saw was the huge red dorsal fin covered with barbs emerging from the water.
Immediately afterwards, a huge fish head with a ferocious face and full of fangs emerged from the water.
Strangely, the moment he saw this huge fish head, information related to it came to Gilgamesh's mind.
The monster emerging from the river, named Kururu, is a half-human, half-fish monster that exists in myths and legends.
In ancient Babylonian mythology, Abzu of the sweet sea and Tiamat of the salty sea created the world and gave birth to the gods.
But the noise of the gods made Abzu and Tiamat unable to sleep peacefully, so Abzu decided to eliminate his descendants to relieve the pain.
But Enki, the water god, got the news from somewhere and acted first, put Abzu into a deep sleep, and then killed Abzu.
Abzu's wife, Tiamat, the god who created all things, was furious after knowing the news of her husband's death, so she conceived and created eleven offspring, also eleven kinds of monsters, to avenge the gods.
Kururu is one of those eleven monsters.
Of course, the gods certainly did not want to sit still and resisted together, and finally Tiamat was killed by Enki's son Marduk.
After that, Marduk took Tiamat's body to create the sky and the earth, as well as the stars and thunderstorms between the sky and the earth.
In order to thank Marduk, the gods built the city of Babylon and temples for Marduk.
In order to repay the gods, Marduk created human beings to work for the gods.
Myths and legends must all have exaggerated elements, not to mention other things, even the heavens and the earth, as well as human beings, were definitely not created by Marduk.
In Gilgamesh's view, the reason why this version of the myth can be spread in Babylon is to highlight and consolidate Marduk's theocratic status.
It is even possible that Marduk did not kill Tiamat.
After all, Tiamat's position and divine power are not comparable to Marduk.
Moreover, this version of myths and legends, if you think about it carefully, you can discover the hidden information in it.
Why do you say that Marduk created humans to work for the gods...
In an instant, various thoughts flashed through Gilgamesh's mind.
At the same time, Gilgamesh looked at the two children who hadn't spotted Kururu, gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
Gilgamesh knew very well what would happen to these two children once Kururu came ashore.
Gilgamesh himself was unable to watch the tragedy happen before his eyes without ignoring it.
Not to mention that Gilgamesh's mind is changing invisibly now, and there is a voice in his heart that is constantly telling Gilgamesh.
As a king, he bears the pride of a king and the responsibility of a king. He will never allow his subjects to have troubles in front of him and remain indifferent.
Gilgamesh understood that if he really let the two children in front of him go, he would only care about his own safety.
Then it will definitely deviate from the kingly way, unable to get the approval of the hero king Gilgamesh, and unable to awaken memory.
Because this completely deviates from the kingly way of the hero king Gilgamesh.
Right now, Kururu has not yet landed, and Gilgamesh has full time to evacuate the two children.
When people are in an emergency, they will either panic and make mistakes, or they will stimulate their potential.
Gilgamesh belongs to the latter, and his potential is stimulated, making Gilgamesh run far faster than before.
Soon, Gilgamesh came to two children who were playing.
He didn't bother to say hello, and saw Gilgamesh picking up the two screaming children, and wanted to evacuate.
When Kururu found out that Gilgamesh wanted to take away his blood food, he couldn't help being furious, and roared in his mouth.
At the same time, two jets of water were seen shooting towards Gilgamesh from both sides of Kururu.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh's pupils suddenly shrank. Obviously, the power of controlling water that Kururu exerted is an extraordinary power, and it cannot be resisted by himself now.
back, back, back...
Gilgamesh screamed in his heart, wanting to evacuate quickly.
However, it is very difficult for Gilgamesh to evacuate quickly while holding two young children in his arms.
The two young children who were held in Gilgamesh's arms finally discovered the existence of Kururu, and they were scared to cry by Kururu immediately, and instinctively began to struggle.
This also invisibly increased the difficulty of Gilgamesh's evacuation.
Crisis...has come!
......
Chapter 286: The Advent of the King, Looking Across Time and Space!
The water jet controlled by Kururu was so fast that Gilgamesh had no time to dodge it, so he had to forcefully turn around and use his not-forgiving back to protect the two children.
boom!
boom!
The two dull sounds that came one after another made Gilgamesh feel severe pain.
The severe pain made Gilgamesh's consciousness blur in an instant.
In a blur of consciousness, Gilgamesh seemed to have returned to the magnificent temple again, and saw the throne made of gold and jewels again.
The difference from last time is that this time, there is no one in this magnificent temple.
This time, Gilgamesh saw a number of ministers reporting various matters.
This time, Gilgamesh saw High Priest Simona standing quietly beside the throne with a black tulle veil.
This time, on the throne, Gilgamesh saw another self in luxurious robes and a jeweled crown on his head.
At this time, the other self was resting on his chin with one hand, resting his elbow on the armrest of the throne, listening to the memorials of the ministers, and giving instructions one after another at the same time.
Although the sitting posture of the other self seems to be lazy, it shows the posture of a king, and Gilgamesh felt the clear and strong majesty of the king.
Gilgamesh knew that what he saw was the king of Uruk, Gilgamesh who was called the oldest hero king.
Gilgamesh didn't know whether what he saw now belonged to his own memory in the parallel world, or if he dreamed back through the ages, watching the history that was staged from the perspective of a bystander.
In his heart, Gilgamesh is more inclined to the second option.
If what I see now belongs to my own memory in the parallel world, then the picture I see should be unfolded from the perspective of the first person, not from the perspective of a bystander as it is now.
As if to confirm the conjecture in Gilgamesh's mind, the King of Heroes, who was listening to the minister's speech, suddenly let out a surprise.
A sudden cry of surprise from the King of Heroes made the officials quiet down instantly, and they stood respectfully with their heads bowed, as if waiting for instructions.
Seeing this, the high priest Simona standing beside Gilgamesh couldn't help but bowed respectfully and said, "My lord, what instructions do you have?"
The King of Heroes did not answer Simona, but looked towards a certain void.
Gilgamesh's mind was shocked by the Hero King's gaze.
Because, in Gilgamesh's view, the Hero King's eyes seemed to penetrate time and space, and he was looking at himself.
Afterwards, the King of Heroes seemed to have seen something interesting, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, "Interesting, really interesting."
While speaking, the hero king suddenly stood up, and then he burst out with infinite king power, and laughed loudly in his mouth, "Hahaha, I haven't been this happy for a long time."
Saying that, the Heroic Dynasty looked at the void, opened his hands towards Gilgamesh, and said in a majestic tone of the king, "Gilgamesh, I approve of you."
"My power is here, if you can take it, go ahead and take it!!"
As the King of Heroes' words fell, Gilgamesh's consciousness instantly awoke.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but at this moment, Gilgamesh felt that he was the King of Heroes, and the King of Heroes was himself.
Then, Gilgamesh put down the frightened and crying children in his arms, and let them run towards home with flustered steps.
In the process, Kururu, who is about 2 meters tall, has already landed.
Kururu, who came ashore, saw that the blood food in his picture ran away, his face became more and more ferocious, and his big mouth full of fangs roared and made strange noises.
During this process, viscous liquid, like saliva, splashed out of Kururu's mouth constantly, which was disgusting.
However, Kururu didn't go after the two children. In Kururu's limited thinking, since Gilgamesh let go of his blood food, he had to pay the price, and he needed to be his own instead. blood food.
Although, his favorite blood food is human children.
However, the flesh of a human woman can also be eaten.
Without hesitation, Kururu opened his fangs and mouth, and rushed towards Gilgamesh, whose back was facing him.
At this moment, Gilgamesh turned around slowly, and finally looked directly at Kururu with cold eyes.
For Kururu, at the moment when Gilgamesh looked at him with cold eyes, Kururu suddenly felt a terrifying force pressing down from the human woman, making him feel like he was carrying a hill on his back. , it is difficult to move.
At the same time, in Kururu's eyes, the human woman who was just eating blood seemed to have turned into a mythical monster that he was afraid of at this moment, tearing his liver and gallbladder apart.
Under such circumstances, Kururu opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to scream and struggle, but found that he couldn't make a sound.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh's face was full of indifference, and with anger in his mouth, he said in the ancient Sumerian language with the majesty of the king, "Even the original Kururu is not a piece of shit, how dare you It's so daring to even dare to attack me by meddling with human children!"
While speaking, Gilgamesh walked towards Kururu step by step with unhurried steps.
In Kururu's eyes, every time Gilgamesh takes a step closer to him, his stature will grow a bit bigger, and at the same time, the pressure he is under will also increase a bit.
Not only that, but the fear in Kururu's heart is also constantly amplifying.
As the fear in his heart continued to magnify, Kururu's pupils were shaking violently.
Kururu desperately wanted to struggle, wanted to escape back to the river, and wanted to stay away from Gilgamesh, who terrified him.
But no matter how hard Kururu struggled, he just couldn't break free from the power that was pressing on him, and couldn't move.
Seemingly realizing something, Kururu's face showed despair.
Gilgamesh has no sympathy for Kururu's despair, just like Kururu has no sympathy for the human children he once devoured.
Standing still in front of Kururu, I saw Gilgamesh clasping his right hand, and said, "Once upon a time, I beheaded an original Kururu, and made its spine into a sword."
"Now, let me use this sword to give you despair and death!"
"Chop Suey, accept the gift with gratitude, and then die with despair!"
While speaking, Gilgamesh kept his right hand in a false grip, and stabbed directly at Kururu's heart.
Finally, Gilgamesh's right hand stopped half a meter in front of Kururu.
What's weird is that a large fishbone-shaped hole suddenly appeared in Kururu's chest, and green sticky blood gushed out of the hole.
