Hammurabi wanted to use this move, public opinion, and popular support to gradually disintegrate people's belief in the gods.

Until finally, the horn of counterattack sounded...

Chapter 289 Epic Myth, "Ishtar Goes to Hell"!

The news about the court meeting naturally reached the ears of Simona and Gilgamesh.

That night, Simona and Gilgamesh were discussing this matter while finishing their meal.

Gilgamesh just lamented the wisdom of the King of Babylon, and didn't think much about the deep meaning.

And Simona, who knows the King of Babylon better, naturally understands the deep meaning behind this public opinion.

Therefore, as soon as she heard this public opinion, Simona began to secretly contribute to the flames, influencing the people who believed in the goddess of Venus, Ishtar, and further catalyzing the hidden seeds of rebellion in their hearts.

At the dinner table, after hearing Gilgamesh's exclamation, Simona smiled slightly and began to analyze the deep meaning behind it for Gilgamesh.

Finally, Simona said with a dignified expression, "The appearance of Kururu is undoubtedly the opportunity the King of Babylon has been waiting for."

"Next, the king of Babylon should have a series of measures to weaken the supremacy of theocracy."

"This also means that Babylon's battle between man and god is coming soon."

"The calm and beauty at the moment are all for the coming storm."

"We, who knew this war in advance, should be prepared in advance."

"This battle between man and god should be the key to whether we can go back to the future."

"For this reason, we can only win, not lose."

After Gilgamesh heard this, his heart was also heavy, and his face was serious and serious.

Immediately, Gilgamesh looked at Simona and asked, "Do you have any information about the Tablet of Destiny?"

Simona shook her head lightly when she heard the words and replied, "I tried to communicate with Goddess Ishtar, but I didn't get a response, so I don't have any information about the Tablet of Destiny for the time being."

Hearing this, Gilgamesh showed a look of disappointment on his face.

Gilgamesh knew very well that if he couldn't awaken the memory of the King of Heroes, if he couldn't achieve transcendence, then even self-protection would be a problem for him in the next battle between humans and gods.

Seeing this, Simona comforted her, "You told me yesterday that you dreamed back through the ages, stared at the King of Heroes, and heard what the King of Heroes said."

"This shows that the King of Heroes is aware of your existence and recognizes you."

"I know the King of Heroes. If the Tablet of Destiny is really the proof of awakening left by the King of Heroes, then the Tablet of Destiny will definitely appear in front of you at the most appropriate time."

While speaking, Simona's expression was a little complicated, a little emotional.

Under the guidance of Ishtar, Simona awakened the memory of being a high priest in Uruk.

Therefore, when Gilgamesh told himself what happened to him yesterday, that he dreamed back through the ages, that he looked into the eyes of the King of Heroes, and heard what the King of Heroes said, that has always troubled Simona. The incomprehension and confusion in my heart were also relieved.

Simona remembered very clearly that day, after the King of Heroes said those words, he was very happy and happy, and after he retired from court, he drank heavily and finally got drunk.

That was also the only time the King of Heroes got drunk in his life.

And that drunkenness greatly irritated the King of Heroes' already exhausted body from governing Uruk.

In the end, the hero king died suddenly on the throne.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to imagine, but this is what actually happened. The oldest hero king recorded in human history died suddenly because of a drunk.

The soul of the King of Heroes who died suddenly was led into the underworld governed by the goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal.

As the high priest serving the King of Heroes, Simona discovered the King of Heroes' sudden death immediately.

Xi Mengna remembered very clearly that she could not see any pain on the face of the hero king who died suddenly, but instead saw a smile from the heart.

Xi Mengna also remembered very clearly that because of the sudden death of the King of Heroes and the collapse of faith in her heart, she broke down and cried on the spot.

That was also the first time in my life that I, as the High Priest of Uruk, broke down and cried.

The people of Uruk also knew the news of the sudden death of the hero king. For a while, the whole Uruk was shrouded in grief, and every citizen in Uruk had unresolved sadness and tears on their faces.

At that time, I collapsed and cried and kept praying to the goddess Ishtar, hoping that the goddess Ishtar could resurrect the sage king of Uruk.

That time, Goddess Ishtar responded to herself.

That time, Goddess Ishtar's always ethereal and ethereal tone finally fluctuated.

At that time, the goddess Ishtar took the initiative to enter the underworld in order to retrieve the soul of the King of Heroes.

And because Ishtar, the goddess of love, fertility and war, descended into the underworld, bulls no longer jump on cows, male donkeys do not impregnate female donkeys, men sleep in their own rooms, and girls do not. Stay alone.

In the end, the goddess Ishtar endured the sixty kinds of pain released by Ereshkigal in the underworld, and successfully brought back the soul of the King of Heroes.

On that day, the people of Uruk no longer grieved because they welcomed back their virtuous king, and they sang and danced and cheered for joy.

On that day, in order to thank the goddess Ishtar for rescuing the virtuous king of Uruk, the people of Uruk specially wrote an epic myth that Ishtar went to the underworld, so as to let Ishtar's achievements last forever. engraved in human history.

Even in the Babylonian period thousands of years later, the epic myth of Ishtar going to the underworld is still widely circulated and sung by people.

The original Simona has always been puzzled, why the King of Heroes would say Gilgamesh, I approve of you..., this seemingly contradictory statement.

Simona was also puzzled all the time, what made the King of Heroes so happy and joyful, that he drank so much fine wine that he died suddenly on the throne.

Until last night, from Gilgamesh's mouth, Simona finally solved the confusion and confusion in her heart.

It turned out that at that time, the King of Heroes had already seen the future after the ages, and saw another self...

Xi Mengna didn't know what else the King of Heroes saw, but Xi Mengna knew that with the sageness and wisdom of the King of Heroes, everything would be arranged before his death and through the ages.

At the same time, Simona also knew for the first time that the King of Heroes actually has the ability to foresee the future.

Is this ability endowed by the Tablet of Destiny?

If so, where is this Tablet of Destiny that can predict the future now?

Thinking about it, Simona's body shook violently, as if she had thought of something, a shock flashed across her face, and she muttered to herself, "How can the King of Babylon know my origin?"

"Could it be that the Tablet of Destiny is in the hands of the King of Babylon..."

......

Chapter 290 The bravest man in Babylon, the beginning of the collapse of faith!

In the city of Babylon, there is a little-known secret.

That is, Babylonian King Hammurabi, in the early years, built a dark and damp underground prison that was incompatible with the palace under the magnificent palace, where unknown prisoners were held.

At this time, it was late at night, and Hammurabi did not fall asleep, but came here with thirty soldiers.

The unknown prisoner imprisoned in the underground prison seemed to perceive the aura that made him fear and disgust, and he became agitated and began to make roars that did not resemble human voices.

This howling sound is particularly terrifying in the underground prison in the middle of the night, and ordinary people must be terrified when they hear it.

However, whether it was Hammurabi or the [-] soldiers led by Hammurabi, they didn't respond to the terrifying roar, and walked towards the underground prison on their own.

Soon, Hammurabi led thirty soldiers to the gate of the underground prison.

Here, the terrifying roar was extremely clear, and it was also accompanied by the disgusting stench that filled the entire underground prison.

Until then, Hammurabi finally reacted, and said indifferently, "This disgusting smell, no matter how many times I smell it, I can't stand it."

While speaking, Hammurabi looked at the unknown prisoner imprisoned in the prison through the faint candlelight in the underground prison.

This unknown prisoner is exactly Kururu with a grim face, and there are more than 20 of them.

These Kururu invaded the city of Babylon along the Euphrates River for more than a year, intending to devour humans and treat humans as blood-eating invaders.

They never imagined that Hammurabi knew about their invasion a long time ago, and they were finally captured one by one and imprisoned.

And Hammurabi has not killed them, has been imprisoning them, just for this moment.

At this time, these imprisoned Kururus all looked at Hammurabi with terrified eyes, just like looking at an extremely terrifying mythical monster.

At the same time, the bound body struggled continuously, as if wanting to retreat, away from Hammurabi.

Seeing this, Hammurabi's eyes flashed a bone-chilling coldness, and he said, "I have raised you for more than a year, now, it's time to play your role."

As he spoke, Hammurabi paused for a moment, and then called out a name, "Gugalana!"

Then, among the personal soldiers behind Hammurabi, an unusually tall and strong man came out.

This big man is Gujalana, the leader among the soldiers, and also the most trusted soldier of Hammurabi, and the most valiant warrior in Babylon, with invincible courage.

After Gugalana walked out, without Hammurabi saying anything, he directly led his soldiers into the prison full of filth and stench, and started a massacre amidst the screams of Kururu .

As for Hammurabi, he watched silently from outside the prison, without the slightest pity in his expression.

The hands of these Kururu were stained with the blood of the people of Babylon. When they devoured the innocent people of Babylon, did they ever show mercy?

Soon, all the Kururu in the prison were slaughtered.

Afterwards, Gugalanna commanded the soldiers to transport Kururu's body to the place that had been arranged in the city of Babylon in the middle of the night.

Almost half an hour later, in the palace, Hammurabi, who had washed and changed into clean clothes, was standing at the highest point of the palace, overlooking the city of Babylon.

Looking at the little sparks in the city of Babylon, Hammurabi's eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Not long after, Hammurabi saw a dark place in the city, and suddenly a lot of flames lit up, accompanied by commotion.

Faintly, Hammurabi also heard someone shouting loudly, "Dead people... There are monsters... Monsters are attacking people..."

The commotion in this place is like a chain reaction. In the city of Babylon, a large number of fire lights are lit up in one place after another, accompanied by the sound of commotion.

The Babylonians who were sleeping near the commotion were awakened one after another. After confirming the safety of their family members, they went to check the situation as soon as possible.

Naturally, these people were shocked by what they saw.

A storm of public opinion is about to break out.

As for Hammurabi, who stood on the top of the palace and had a panoramic view of all this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said softly, "Human words are more terrifying than monsters..."

As he said that, Hammurabi looked at a certain place in the dark night, as if he could travel through time and space, saw the scene he wanted, and continued to say, "Marduk, you should take advantage of the present and enjoy yourself in Nigeria." Rejoice in the hanging gardens of Niveh."

"Tomorrow is the beginning of the collapse of faith!"

"Soon, the beliefs you have painstakingly cultivated among human beings will completely collapse."

"I'm really looking forward to it. When you see your faith collapse, you will show such a desperate look."

"I really want to see, at that time, did you still think that you dominated human beings? Did you still think that you were superior?"

While speaking, Hammurabi picked up the wine pouch pinned to his waist, removed the cork, took a big gulp of the fine wine, swallowed it hard, and laughed heartily in his mouth, "Hahaha, this one is a respect to mankind!"

"May the glory of mankind last forever!"

Time passed quietly, and the sun of the next day arrived as promised.

But the city of Babylon is no longer as peaceful and peaceful as it used to be.

After a night of savings, coupled with Hammurabi's backing, the public opinion related to what happened last night, like a flood that opened the gate, quickly flooded the entire city of Babylon.

"Hey, have you heard that a monster attacked people in the city of Babylon yesterday!"

"I've heard it a long time ago, and I also heard that many people died tragically in the mouth of monsters."

"How can such a thing happen, it is really terrible!"

"Our city of Babylon is a famous city with hundreds of gates. It not only has high walls and watchtowers, but also the Euphrates River as its boundary. What kind of monsters can invade silently?"

"What other monsters are there? It's Kururu who attacked the children before. They sneaked in along the Euphrates River."

"Isn't Kururu a servant of the gods? Aren't we humans protected by the gods? Why does Kururu attack us humans?"

"If only one Kururu attacked humans, it could be called a coincidence, but yesterday I heard that hundreds of Kururu sneaked into the city and attacked humans. If it is a coincidence, I don't believe it. "

"You said, is it possible that Kururu was attacked by the gods because of the will of the gods?"

"I think so too. After all, the only ones who can order Kururu are the gods..."

"Hey, are you desperate? You dare to say..."

......

Chapter 291 Public Opinion Storm, Eternal Infamy!

Chapter 291 Public Opinion Storm, Eternal Infamy!

In the meeting hall of the royal palace, King Hammurabi of Babylon is listening to the speeches of his ministers.

Today's memorial is a bit unusual, because most of the ministers' memorials are related to the incident of Kururu's attack on people.

Not only that, after what happened yesterday, when these ministers made their speeches, they all expressed their anger towards Kururu very indignantly, as well as implicitly expressed their dissatisfaction with the gods.
