Hey guys, I like Two-dimensional

PS: I fucking forgot about Parvati. This happens sometimes when there are too many characters. Part of the content in Chapter 81 has been corrected and Parvati has been transferred to the team heading to the underworld.

Because the incident had happened several nights ago, even if Lixiang had not reported anything about Ereshkigal, Chen Ling had still learned about the latter. After all, in addition to chatting with Lixiang, Chen Ling also He chats.

However, according to what Chen Ling secretly observed, the goddess of the underworld not only disguised herself as Rin to chat with him about his past experiences, but also disguised herself as Ishtar to chat with Ritsuka about her past experiences.

As for why he didn't pretend to be Rin to chat with Ritsuka, it was probably because in Rin's memory, although they knew each other, they were not too familiar with each other, so he simply didn't pretend to be Rin.

In any case, since the other party had no ill intentions and was just chatting, Chen Ling didn't pay much attention to it. This must be the reason why Lixiang didn't report the matter to him.

However, the time for chatting is limited, not to mention that in order to rescue the wise king as soon as possible, their team should be the fastest.

Therefore, after Ereshkigal and Chen Linglixiang chatted for several days, they finally arrived at their destination-Kusa!

Looking at the city in front of them, everyone who had been traveling for several days secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to prepare for the war.

The destination of the forced march has been arrived, and there will definitely be a fierce battle next, so pre-war preparations are naturally essential.

"But, I thought the goddess would fly there first. She actually accommodated us all the way. I'm really touched."

"Are you mocking me? I will poke you?"

The goddess lying on the sky boat floating in the air glared at Ritsuka angrily, then turned her head away with a haughty and arrogant tone.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not accommodating you. It's just that I have to deal with Ereshkigal's troublesome dank vixen, and I have to use you for my gems. So on the contrary, you Do you want me to be full of energy and in full condition to challenge you? If you lose because of carelessness, I won’t forgive you!"

It was obviously a foreign aid hired through trade, but Ishtar behaved like she was the one who hired him.

However, after spending several days together, everyone has become more or less accustomed to each other's attitude, so they don't feel anything at all.

However, Ritsuka's relationship with Ishtar seems to be getting more and more friendly, and she even takes the initiative to tease each other many times.

Just like now-

"It means that if we try our best but still lose, the goddess won't blame us, right? So gentle~~~"

Woo hoo - Ishtar was scolded by Miss Ritsuka's innocent (disguised) smile, and her momentum suddenly dropped and she retracted her hand. She hummed in panic and flew into the sky with a tantrum.

In the past few days of getting along, Ritsuka has become better and better at controlling the reins of this arrogant goddess.

It should be said that she is a goddess with the same wavelength as Tohsaka Rin... Although she is more perverse and arrogant than Ms. Rin who pretends to be an honor student on the surface, she is also a good person and caring side in her actual nature.

And along the way, this goddess really took good care of Ritsuka, a human being, and even completed such inconspicuous tasks as helping hunt and collect food ingredients without any complaints.

According to Mei Lin, whether the wise king or the heroic king saw it, he would probably laugh until his abdominal muscles cramped and he died suddenly again.

Not only Meilin and Mashu, but also Minamoto no Yorimitsu blinked in admiration and approached Ritsuka curiously.

"How on earth did you, Ritsuka, establish a good relationship with that wayward goddess? We, the heroic spirits summoned by the wise king, also fought with this woman before, and at the same time we also learned about her willfulness and perversity. I didn't expect that you You can actually get along so well with such a naughty child. I said, can you teach me? Maybe I can learn from it to deal with that kid from Kintoki."

When Minamoto no Yorimitsu secretly asked for advice, Shuten Doji also laughed and listened.

It wasn't that she wanted to do anything, but she was also curious about how the goddess, who was much more perverse than a big monster like her, was willing to get along well with Ritsuka, a human.

"Well~~~ It's actually nothing. I just want to chat with her more, get a deeper understanding of some of her personality and behavior patterns, and understand her bottom line as a goddess. Next, I will use it as a benchmark not to irritate her. It's normal. It would be nice to just chat and get along with him.”

Ritsuka didn't hide anything, because this kind of thing is really not difficult, the key is to grasp the degree.

Originally, the three views of humans and gods were different, but because of Rin, Ishtar's three views were already very close to humans, so as long as Ritsuka said, grasp the balance and get along with them. It's quite difficult.

However, Ritsuka also knew that Sister Rin contributed more to this, and the reason why she could become so familiar with and deepen the relationship with the goddess Ishtar was because of her understanding of Rin.

Of course, the most critical point is that Ereshkigal is either looking for Chen Ling or her every night. She is resting when she is looking for Chen Ling. There is nothing to say about this.But when she found her, it was basically when she was on duty at night. At that time, she could basically talk with Ereshkigal all night long. The other party had been pestering Ritsuka enthusiastically, asking her to tell her stories about her previous adventures and about... Chen Ling’s matter.

Because there was nothing to hide, Miss Lixiang told all the things about herself and Chen Ling in a lively and jealous manner.

Even some interesting stories between men and women are no exception. This is because Ereshkigal seems to want to know about it, and Ritsuka has mischievous thoughts and tries to reproduce Chen Ling's previous attack on Ishtar in the temple. This behavior made you blush.

What Ritsuka never expected was that Ereshkigal's face turned red when he heard the details of these interesting things, but he was not so shy as Ishtar was that he ran away. Instead, he became even more shy. Focused, even with a twinkle in his eye.

Good guy, this goddess of the underworld is actually more open-minded than Ishtar in this aspect, or in other words, her 'defense' in this aspect is much higher than Ishtar's.

Of course, it is also possible that this is the first time he has learned about this. Although Ereshkigal’s shame level is not much higher than that of Ishtar, curiosity may have restrained him.

Since then, Ritsuka has increased her pranks and increased her intensity, wanting to see the opponent's limits.

In the end, the other party was not afraid at all. Instead, he listened to everything Ritsuka said with great interest. He looked at Chen Ling with sparkling eyes, as if he admired Ritsuka very much, and also seemed to admire that human beings could actually do this. There are so many tricks to play.

Because Ereshkigal's reaction was really frank and cute, and Kirakira's sparkling eyes kept splashing little stars, which made Miss Ritsuka feel like she was showing off her power in front of her adoring sister, and she was a little bit carried away. .

Ereshkigal and Ishtar still have many different personalities, but they are also subtly similar to Sister Rin. This allows Ritsuka, who actually knows Rin but is not overly familiar with her, to get to know each other more quickly, so she also Indirectly accelerating deeper understanding of Ishtar.

Therefore, probably by applying her experiences at night to the day, Ritsuka felt a lot closer to Miss Ishtar during the day.

And he also discovered that although Ishtar may appear arrogant, he is also the type who is not good at taking the initiative of others.As long as I take the initiative to approach him first, Ishtar will immediately become embarrassed and shy...

So fun...ahem!No, it's so cute.

——But there will be plenty of time to talk about this kind of topic between girls later.

After Ritsuka and the others followed Ishtar flying in the sky into the city of Kusa, the group immediately noticed the anomaly in this environment.

"It's so quiet. Not only are there no human sounds, there are no sounds of birds, animals, or even insects."

Minamoto Noraimitsu frowned slightly in discomfort and looked at his surroundings.

Although Shuten Doji, who usually bickered with Minamoto no Yorimitsu, was still smiling at this moment, he had already taken out a big sword as tall as her petite figure and was wary of those around him.

"There is not even a living creature in this city. Not just humans, but any life does not exist. The surrounding area is completely a space of death."

"Well, that's true. The bodies of the 900 residents who died in Kuta City overnight have been sent to Uruk City for safekeeping, and other animals will not come close to here. After all, as long as they are living creatures, probably Everyone instinctively knows that this place is inaccessible."

Even in the face of such a situation, Mei Lin maintained an elegant smile as always and explained easily. It was a pity that no one paid attention to this crumb at this time, and was alert to the enemy that might appear.

After arriving at the square where Ishtar stayed, the goddess handsomely lifted her hair and looked at them with a serious expression.

"We are really going to the underworld next, and there is no regret medicine for you to take. The mixed-race dream demon over there, you stay. However, I am a little uneasy about your words, so please choose one more person to stay. .”

As he said that, Ishtar looked at Chen Ling and Ritsuka. Even as arrogant as Ishtar was, he actually knew that Chen Ling and Ritsuka were the leaders of the team in Chaldea.

"Oh? Goddess, don't you need our support?"

Mei Lin, who was named by Ishtar, asked with the same smile as before. She didn't care whether she went or not. If it weren't for Chen Ling's arrangement, she would rather stay in Uruk and drink.

Well, she doesn't like fighting very much, and she knows everything about fighting power now, so she can basically touch it whenever she can.

Chen Ling, Ritsuka, Minamoto Yorimitsu, Shuten Doji, and even Parvati all looked at Ishtar, ready to hear her explanation for this move.

In response, the goddess snorted proudly and unexpectedly answered in a down-to-earth manner.

"Don't treat entering the underworld as a game. My disastrous defeat in myths and legends is not fake. The reality will only be more cruel than the legend. After we break into the seven gates of judgment this time, the result can only be our success. Eliminate that female fox, or all of us will become her collection. If that time comes, someone must take care of it. Anyway, you dream demon must have the ability to protect yourself even in the underworld, right? Then and Ereshkigal negotiates, and even if it costs you to stay in the underworld, you have to replace Ritsuka, Mashu, and this man. This unique point cannot be without them, right?"

"As for the other person left behind, that's just in case to keep an eye on your candidate, so that you don't have to deal with something that's not there."

Although Ishtar didn’t know Meilin very well, Rin knew something about it. These were what Chen Ling told her. To be more precise, Chen Ling learned about her experience when he shared the sixth singularity with her. .

Therefore, Ishtar also learned about the abilities and unreliability of this white-haired creature through Rin's memory, so he had to keep one more person alive to prevent this guy from doing bad things.

"——Oh? In other words, goddess, you used your life as a bet, but left us as a guarantee bargaining chip? And it's not in exchange for you, but in exchange for Ritsuka Mashu and Chen Ling. ?”

"Nonsense, how could that female fox let me go? There is a sworn hatred between her and me, and it is absolutely impossible for me to come back alive no matter what. So even if it is the worst outcome, you must ensure that you will immediately Xiang Mashu, and this man’s safety.”

Even Merlin seemed a little surprised by Ishtar's move, let alone others.

After saying this unexpectedly responsible and handsome line, Ishtar glanced at Parvati, who exuded divinity just like her, and gave a hint.

"And as you know, the underworld has absolute suppression over other gods. After all, even if the gods reach the underworld, they will definitely be unwilling to be resurrected, right? In order to prevent the willful gods from refusing to die, the power of gods It is greatly weakened in the underworld. The more powerful a person is in the underworld, the more powerless he is in the underworld, so the best I can do is attract the hatred of the female fox. The actual battle depends on you."

I never expected that the goddess of Venus would be so self-aware and aware of her own powerlessness in the underworld, so she actually thought of using herself as a target from the beginning? !

This time, even Chen Ling was shocked. Good guy, it turns out Ishtar is not stupid.They were even prepared to be beaten severely, and even prepared backup plans to be rescued if they failed.

However, since she had already thought of this and was prepared for it, why did she still sign the contract with the King of Heroes?

Um, is it possible that she didn't see the text trap in it?

Well, I guess it’s because my eyes and mind were full of gems at the time, and I was so greedy that I didn’t notice the text trap in it.

Well, it's still a bit stupid.At least, when faced with gems.

Chen Lingru commented secretly, this is especially like Rin.

Chapter 85 That woman is here! I hope the goddess of the underworld is okay

"Miss Ishtar... actually sacrificed so much for us! I, Mash Kyrielet, will definitely live up to your expectations and fight with all my strength until the last moment!"

"I didn't expect that even you, the goddess, would be so aware. If I don't do my best, it will be a disgrace to Genji's honor."

"Ah, pull, pull~~~ Everyone is full of energy, so I should be a little more serious."

"..."

Unlike Chen Ling, who was complaining about Ishtar's "stupid" act of falling into a trap because of the gem, others were already impressed by the goddess's awakening, and their morale increased greatly. They all expressed their intention to fight with all their strength and were full of passion. In response to Ishtar's awakening.

Parvati, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed because she also wanted to fight with everyone, but the way Ishtar glanced at her just now and the meaningful words made her understand that she would not be able to fight this time. France participated in this operation.

"Chen Ling, I..."

"I almost forgot about the suppression of other gods in the underworld. Sorry, you have to stay here with Meilin this time just in case."

This was Chen Ling's mistake, but since Ishtar had already pointed it out, that was the only way to go.

However, before actually going to the underworld, Chen Ling still had something to do.

"Roman, has it been detected?"

"Ah, it was detected. Although it is a bit deep, there is indeed a spiritual pulse reaction. As expected, the cities in Uruk are all based on spiritual veins."

"Matthew, unfold your shield."

"Hi!"

Without saying a word, Mashu unfolded the round table shield and revealed the magic circle inside.

Due to the limitations of the Chaldean spirit transfer device, reinforcements arrived in batches one after another. The second batch was originally scheduled to be summoned from Uruk, but the original plan was to summon them after returning from the exploration mission.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The sudden death of the wise king led to a slight change in the plan, and now the summons has been advanced.

Fortunately, as Chen Ling had detected a long time ago, there is also a spiritual vein here in Kutha City. Although it is not bigger than the one in Uruk, it is still enough for summoning.

Therefore, Chen Ling planned to call for reinforcements again before heading to the underworld.

"However, the location of this spiritual vein seems to be a bit deep. It seems to be affected by the underworld. There is not much magic power that we can use here."

"I just asked if I could summon you?"

"Yes, but it should only be able to support one super-standard top-level heroic spirit."

"enough!"

A long time ago, Chen Ling mentioned at the meeting in Chaldea that he was the best person to deal with the goddess of the underworld.

That is - Scathach, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows who has a special attack against the undead and a special attack against divinity!

When the purple-clad figure appeared in the magic circle, everyone present felt the almost uncontrollable violent fighting spirit in the magic radiated by the visitor.

"The opponent is the goddess of the underworld, right? She sounds like a good opponent. I hope she is strong enough to kill me."

With a smile full of fighting and even killing intent, Scathach was extremely excited.

"The breath of the Godslayer!?"

Ishtar seemed to be startled. Just as dragons or dragon-born heroic spirits can feel the breath of the dragon-slayer hero, gods or gods can naturally feel the breath of the god-slayer.

"Ishtar, the goddess of Venus?...That's all, let's fight with Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld first."

Scathach, who was ready to fight Ishtar first, saw Ishtar hiding behind Ritsuka at some point, and thought of the legendary Ereshkigal defeating Ishtar. Legend, immediately gave up the idea of ​​fighting with him.

"Scathach, the queen and guardian of the Kingdom of Shadows? I don't know her, but I didn't expect you to have such an existence in Chaldea."

Ishtar is not afraid of the Hero King. Even though the latter is as powerful as Scathach, the former has no experience of killing gods, so he has no special attack on divinity.But the one in front of me obviously has such a legend, so of course he has the power to shock the gods.

There are advantages and disadvantages to becoming a Heroic Spirit. The disadvantage is that your legendary failures and certain factors will become weaknesses. The advantage is that your legendary experience will be sublimated into corresponding abilities.

To be fair, if Siegfried was resurrected and then asked to slay the evil dragon Fafnir, he might not be able to do it. He himself said that it was a miracle that he could defeat the evil dragon when he was alive.

However, after becoming a heroic spirit, as long as no unexpected situation occurs, the evil dragon Fafnir will only be slaughtered even if he resurrects millions of people.Because Siegfried's Noble Phantasm has a special attack against dragons, his skills also have special attacks against dragons, and he even has a defense against dragons. Against other heroic spirits, he is only at the level of a first-rate heroic spirit, but against dragons, he becomes a super-top level.

Therefore, the difference in strength between Scathach and the King of Heroes is not very big, but Ishtar is afraid of the former but not the latter, because the former has a special attack against gods, and Scathach can show stronger strength against gods. Moreover, one's own god-killing aura will also cause a suppressive effect similar to coercion on the gods.

Moreover, Ishtar was also keenly aware that this purple woman seemed to have other abilities, because the deathly atmosphere in Kuza City actually dispersed a lot after the other party appeared.

Good guy, is it possible that this guy still has a special attack on the undead?

After carefully checking Rin's memory, he quickly found the legend about the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, as well as the abilities that the other party may have.

Good guy, I didn’t expect that this woman not only has a special attack against divinity, but also a special attack against undead?This is definitely aimed at the gods of the underworld, right? !
