Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

But [mapping]

At the moment when Liye blasphemed Ishtar, her soul, which Quetzalcoatl called the pure white soul, appeared.

There was a [reflection] of Ishtar, and what was left behind was this so-called divine aura.

The spirit of the goddess Venus, which belongs only to Liye, is derived from Ishtar.

The appearance of Shenqi had a huge impact on Li Ye.

Li Ye could clearly feel that in this world after death, his own [non-human] was growing rapidly. His body, which had been growing stronger under the nourishment of the ether of the Age of Gods, seemed to be ignited.

Increasing at an alarming rate.

The changes brought about by the spirit's aura not only made his body stronger, Li Ye also noticed the deterioration of his magic power.

With the addition of mysterious dark magic, it can be released and controlled more freely, and the power and mystery it contains are also greatly increased.

The spirit reflected by this also turned into food for its own growth, taking it one step closer to the metamorphosis that the Lion King had once hoped for.

After a long time, Li Ye finally got up from the ground.

stab.

The dark magic power burst out from the fingertips and gradually turned into a familiar black holy sword under Li Ye's gaze.

[Projection-Shining Sword of the End]

The fake holy sword created by projection magic should have been a mere appearance, but under the effect of that divine aura, its toughness increased.

"It seems to be of no use."

After a preliminary test of the magic power that had absorbed the divine energy, Li Ye only found that the quality had increased.

Using Professor Da Vinci's projection magic as a basis and applying strengthening magic, all that was obtained was a slightly hard empty shell.

It is impossible to recreate the Shining Sword of the End with projection magic alone.

Li Ye casually dispersed the projection magic and turned his head to look around.

Being in the underground underworld of Mesopotamia is like being in a dark abyss without sunlight. There are only eternally burning lamps emitting cold light scattered throughout the steep mountains.

It is also the quiet light that accompanies the one and only goddess.

Feeling the breath of death in the atmosphere, Li Ye seemed to have returned to the Azrael Temple and faced the old man in the mountain again.

Although the locations are different, the fragrance of death is the same.

It was precisely because of this fragrance of death that Li Ye was able to determine that he had arrived in the underworld.

This kind of death is absolutely impossible to happen in the earthly world.

“Let’s go back. Now is not the time to confront Ereshkigal head-on—”

Li Ye stretched his body and was about to recall Tianzhou to return to the earth.

As his intuition activated and his dragon heart beat, Li Ye suddenly turned his head and looked into the depths of the underworld, meeting the gaze cast at him from afar.

With a slightly curious look, the source is naturally the flower of the underworld - Ereshkigal!

'You noticed me?'

Li Ye raised his hand to cover his chest and quickly understood the source of Long Xin's abnormal movement.

It is precisely because of that "reflected" aura that Ereshkigal and Ishtar can be regarded as the same god in a certain sense.

And Li Ye was like a third person who came in unexpectedly, and through his aura, he established some connection with Ereshkigal.

'No hostility - can we try to make contact?'

Li Ye never felt any hostility, and the intuition he had was only due to the connection created by the spirit.

Seeing that Ereshkigal had noticed his arrival and was looking at him curiously, Li Ye immediately changed his plan.

Instead of leaving the underworld, he plans to head deeper into the underworld and try to make his first contact with Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld!

Without staying there for long, Li Ye headed towards the depths of the underworld along the road that continued to extend in front of him.

Li Ye, who was completely unfamiliar with this underground underworld, discovered a broken pile of earth when passing by a certain place.

Or a grave mound.

"Something is crawling out from inside—"

Looking at the broken grave in front of him, Li Ye realized that the buried objects had been left.

Li Ye thought that anything that could be buried in the underworld was not a simple person, but at this moment, Li Ye had no intention of tracking down what the thing that left was.

Just as Li Ye turned around and continued on his way forward, his body suddenly stopped.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of an old man appearing in a dark corner. It was a deathly darkness that even the light of the soul could not reach.

Although his appearance had changed and his aura was completely different, Li Ye still recognized the old man's identity at a glance -

"Hmm? Old Man of the Mountain, I didn't expect to see you here!"

Hassan al-Sabah, the Old Man of the Mountain.

The origin of the assassination cult in the Middle East, the legendary assassin, and a person with a close connection to the Angel of Death.

Only when facing the old man in the mountains did Li Ye feel the omnipresent death, as if a big sword was placed on his neck, ready to behead Li Ye at any time.

Li Ye didn't expect to see the old man from the mountains here again. It was a kind of nostalgic beauty.

"........."

The old man in the mountain never spoke a word, he just stared at Li Ye now.

After experiencing the destruction of the singularity, Liye now has a completely different appearance from the sixth singularity.

An unspeakable miracle was brewing in Li Ye's body and soul. When the dragon broke out of its shell and began to emerge -

Li Ye, who didn't know what the old man in the mountain was thinking, still had a smile on his face: "Why are you here? It can't be my fate, so it must be Fujimaru Ritsuka——

Will the disasters he encounters in this singularity in the future be of a level that you can intervene in?"

Chapter 175 Flower of the Underworld

Li Ye knew that the only reason the old man in the mountain gave in was destiny, and the only reason the old man in the mountain could appear in Mesopotamia alone was because of fate.

Li Ye first ruled out himself, so in Li Ye's cognition, there were other people who had a connection with the old man in the mountains.

There is only one human master, Ritsuka Fujimaru.

Thinking of this, Li Ye already understood the purpose of the old man in the mountain's visit.

Of the four goddesses currently active in Mesopotamia, none of them requires the Old Man of the Mountain.

In Li Ye's opinion, except for the Gorgon whom he had not yet seen, the other three goddesses were all towards humans. They loved humans similarly to the Lion King, but in different ways.

In that case, the destiny worthy of the old man in the mountain's action is naturally the most important goddess of creation - Tiamat.

"Old Man Shan, do you have anything to tell me?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Since you took the initiative to show up, is it about this underground underworld, or is it about me?"

If the old man in the mountain shows up on his own initiative, he must have something to tell you.

Otherwise, with the old man's aura blocking the view, even if Li Ye walked in front of him, he might not be able to detect him.

"To you who have experienced death and rebirth, I sincerely congratulate you on your present state. You carry the thoughts of the king who returned to human form. Your future is no longer confused and bleak."

After staring at each other for a long time, the old man in the mountain finally spoke: "As you thought, the reason why I came here is the fate and destiny between me and that little guy.

But the bond between us is not over yet—"

'Um? '

Hearing this, Li Ye was slightly startled.

On the day when the assassination training ended, the old man in the mountain said in person that the fate of both parties was over and expelled Li Ye.

How come [Yuan] has refilled his cup here?

Although he was doubtful about this, Li Ye did not think of asking in detail.

Li Ye knew that even if he asked, he would not get an answer, only the ambiguous response from the old man in the mountain.

It's better not to ask.

Li Ye then smiled and asked: "If this is the case, please tell me the destiny, Mr. Shan.

How should I treat Tiamat, the goddess of creation?"

The old man in the mountain is definitely not an ordinary person, but an assassin who obeys the will of heaven.

The fact that Li Ye had been in contact with Tiamat could naturally not be hidden from the sharp eyes of the old man in the mountain, and his cause and effect and fate were all seen through.

"As an old man, I can't give you more help—"

The old man in the mountain stared at Li Ye, his sharp eyes seemed to tear Li Ye's flesh and flesh, and pull out the soul deep inside: "For you, advice is the most valuable thing -

This is a one-time warning, so listen carefully.

You already know of the three storms that are about to strike Uruk, but that is not enough.

Do not show understanding to those who harbor hatred in their hearts.

Do not express your approval to those who are happy.

Don’t show admiration to someone who is in pain.”

'The three storms, are they the three goddesses?'

Li Ye, who had lived with the old man in the mountains for a month, quickly understood what the old man in the mountains meant.

It is a warning that points directly to the spiritual core of the three goddesses.

This gave Li Ye a deeper understanding of the purpose of the three goddesses fighting for this land.

The old man in the mountain continued, his deep voice echoing over the underworld:

“Things that are abandoned by the human world and not needed by the world’s people are precisely the greatest disasters rejected by human history and created by human hands.

Love is evil, and its nature determines its class - Human Evil Beast. "

'Human Evil - Beast'

When he heard the unknown rank, Li Ye subconsciously held his breath.

Love is evil.

Even though its starting point is love, it itself is something abandoned by human history and not needed by the world.

Its act of returning is the birth of disaster.

Its essence is opposed to human history and cannot coexist with it...

“Don’t express your longing for someone you love.”

The old man in the mountain stared at Li Ye, and the faint soul fire seemed to reflect Li Ye's soul: "The one who has crossed the abyss of life and death and carried all the thoughts -

Go find your own way to coexist. Destiny has already told us the future, and we will meet again."

“It’s very mysterious, Mr. Mountain——”

Li Ye continued to smile and did not complain.

"You are disrespectful to visit this land of the dead as a living being. The price is the consumption of your destiny. Leave quickly."

----

Several minutes had passed since he said goodbye to the old man in the mountain, but Li Ye was still staying where he was. He had not left the underworld as the old man in the mountain had said, but was staring quietly at the broken pile of earth.

In the final advice about Tiamat, Li Ye could clearly sense that it was directed at more than one person.

The old man in the mountain is not only talking about Tiamat, but also advising Liye.

Humans hate, humans love.

Rejected by human history, the greatest disaster created by human hands.

Although Li Ye is not clear about his own situation, from his performance, he is rejected by human history and is not needed, just like Tiamat.

But unlike Tiamat, Liye, who is poor and weak, can only barely survive in this world with the help of the Lion King.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a struggle for survival.
