Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Ereshkigal stood up from the throne and walked towards Liye.

Ereshkigal felt very uncomfortable talking to people while sitting high on the throne. This kind of thing really requires an equal dialogue.

That also requires the other party—

The only thing you can do is not to be afraid.

If it was this man, the human who had blasphemed Ishtar, would he fear death?

If Liye retreated at this point, Ereshkigal would not feel disappointed.

"I have embraced death three times. If it were the goddess of the underworld, I would definitely feel close to her."

Looking at Ereshkigal approaching, Li Ye seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of death, and even the dragon heart in his body began to become active.

After experiencing several deaths, the death information flowing from the soul has already permeated the dragon's heart, changing the composition of the dragon's blood from top to bottom.

"………Really?

Are you really not afraid of me? Aren't you afraid of me because I'm the goddess of the underworld?"

When hearing Li Ye's answer, the smile on Ereshkigal's face became as bright as a star, and the elegant temperament that Li Ye felt disappeared.

Seeing that smile, even Li Ye would be infected.

"No matter how you look at it, I don't hate Ereshkigal."

Not only did Ereshkigal deepen his understanding of Liye, but Liye also improved his understanding of Ereshkigal.

If a mythical being comes before you, then he is a living human god.

"Eh——Is this so straightforward?

As expected of someone who blasphemed Ishtar."

Ereshkigal's cheeks flushed slightly, and his eyes suddenly drifted away: "No, we don't want to talk about this. Time is running out, so let's get straight to the point."

Before the topic got off track, Ereshkigal decisively brought it back on track.

At this time, Ereshkigal also walked in front of Li Ye, and tried to raise his head to look at Li Ye.

The petite Ereshkigal did not choose to use the power of Ishtar to enter the sky, but stood on the ground to talk to Liye.

"You have learned about the Three Goddesses Alliance and have decided to fight them.

So, what do you think of the Three Goddesses?"

Ereshkigal stared at Liye and asked slowly.

'What do you think of the Three Goddesses?'

As the contact deepened, Li Ye had a deeper understanding of the alliance between these three goddesses.

But when he was asked to answer, it was -

"Before you answer this question, can you tell me why you are fighting for this land?"

Before that, Liye wanted to know Ereshkigal's real purpose.

Embracing humanity with death is just an external manifestation; deeper thoughts and beliefs are the real focus.

And as Li Ye spoke.

Ereshkigal also smiled and said, “I cannot forgive the current Mesopotamia. I do not agree with humans who abandon the gods and want to create a world that belongs only to them.

There would only be pain, wouldn't it? Humans would be unable to escape the pain of living and the fear of death.

Human intelligence has grown too far, too far to accept reality as it is. "

Li Ye could fully understand the conviction in Ereshkigal's words. It was the firmness that only comes after one has made up his mind.

“But in the Age of Gods, this pain can be alleviated because there are things that humans cannot understand. People can blame the gods for their unreasonableness and cruelty, and live a carefree life.

I have always believed that this way of existence is good, and I have endured it for thousands and tens of thousands of years."

Ereshkigal's eyes were firm, and it was these tens of thousands of years of longing that supported her actions.

“So, I joined this alliance to transform the human world into a world of humans and gods!

I am not the enemy of humanity, but the enemy of the human world!

I will only tell you this, because it is the truth that only you who have come before me can know."

Tread.

Ereshkigal stepped back, but his eyes never moved away, still staring at Li Ye.

"That's it-"

Li Ye stared at Ereshkigal, and now Li Ye had the most intuitive understanding of Ereshkigal's purpose and motives.

Li Ye has only one opinion on this.

Unable to express his approval, Li Ye would not even give false praise.

This is wrong. Ignorant human wisdom cannot reach the future or open up the future.

Blaming the source of your own pain on the so-called gods is nothing but self-deception.

This conflicts with Li Ye's philosophy of continuous progress.

Therefore, Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, is also someone that Li Ye must deal with.

"You are a very kind goddess, Ereshkigal—"

Although he could not give his approval, Liye still admired Ereshkigal's inner heart, as a beautiful goddess who truly loved humans.

Unlike Ishtar, who looked like a demon goddess, Ereshkigal was simply a red angel from the underworld.

"Yes, really - thank you for the compliment!"

As if hit by Li Ye's straight ball, Ereshkigal shyly turned his eyes away: "I... that's all I want to say, let's stop here today!

Good night then! It's time for me to go to bed too!

You should also be careful not to stay up late! Don’t be like that workaholic who works even at night! "

Speaking out his true feelings seemed to make Ereshkigal feel extremely ashamed, and he even lost the desire to continue talking to Li Ye.

Directly issued an order to expel the guests.

And Li Ye did not force himself to stay in the temple, but just smiled and said: "Goddess Ereshkigal, next time we meet, I will give you the answer you want."

Chapter 178 Those who are loved naturally love others.

When Li Ye stepped into the Uruk ziggurat again, it was already noon.

After parting with Ereshkigal, Liye decisively left Mount Ebifu and did not return to the city of Kusa, but went straight back to Uruk.

After a night's rest, he went to the ziggurat to meet Gilgamesh.

"King Gilgamesh, I have met the three goddesses, except for the goddess of warcraft Gorgon, and I understand their purpose and current status."

After quietly waiting for Gilgamesh to finish the work at hand, Li Ye spoke directly: “Now the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl, the goddess of the underworld Ereshkigal, and the goddess of monsters Gorgon, the three pillar goddesses, have concluded a covenant and established a precept of non-aggression.

The purpose is to fairly compete for the land of Mesopotamia and determine the future direction."

Gilgamesh on the throne looked at Li Ye with interest: "Wow, that idiot Ishtar didn't participate?"

In Liye's narration, Gilgamesh did not hear the name of the stupid goddess.

"Ishtar never participated in the covenant between goddesses, or she had no intention of participating. Despite her evil deeds, the goddess Ishtar did want to protect the people of Uruk."

Ishtar responded to the summons of the head witch, and her purpose was revealed at the beginning.

"Anything else? Like the goddess's countermeasures or something like that?"

Gilgamesh held his chin with one hand. He was not in a hurry to deal with the government affairs at hand. He just looked at Li Ye below quietly.

Honestly, even Gilgamesh was surprised by Li Ye's high level of motivation.

However, he brought back information about the Three Pillars Goddess safely within one day, and from his performance, he even had contact with the goddess.

Whether it was the two goddesses from Sumerian mythology or the supreme gods from the distant magic realm, Li Ye was able to interact harmoniously with them.

This level of mobility gave Gilgamesh a deep understanding of Merlin's description of one person being able to serve as three servants.

As a living being, Li Ye possesses great potential, both in terms of adaptability of his class and the versatility of his abilities.

Li Ye, who continued to grow in the Age of Gods environment, completely lived up to Merlin's exaggerated description.

And Li Ye did not disappoint Gilgamesh's expectations, and said very naturally: "That is also true, that is fighting——"

Having said this, Li Ye paused slightly.

Quetzalcoatl is an absolutely good god. Even without Liye, it would not have any impact on Uruk. But Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, is different. What supports her actions is the accumulation of tens of thousands of years of pain.

Not only must she be defeated head-on, but Ereshkigal must also be forced to give up her goal.

This is undoubtedly a difficult task, but it cannot make Li Ye back down.

After the thought, Li Ye's eyes were not confused, and his firm words resounded through the divine tower again: "Leave everything to me. I will fight the goddess and kill the covenant between the goddesses."

The covenant between the three goddesses is a divine agreement, a strong contract that even the goddesses themselves cannot violate.

Even Li Ye, who has the Death Perception Eyes, does not have enough confidence to kill Contract.

But Li Ye was confident that he could do it. As long as he was given some more time, a mere contract with God would be no problem.

He has successfully killed the connection between the Magic King and the Holy Grail, and during the battle with Gawain, he brought forth his complete Death Perception Mystic Eyes, killing Daichi and half of Gawain in one fell swoop.

Even after that fantastic journey and trip to the underworld, Li Ye's understanding of death became even more profound.

I have also understood a lot of the assassination techniques that the old man of the mountain once taught me, and I can understand and apply things that I couldn't understand before.

If the old man in the mountain used his assassination skills to reach the divine realm, Li Ye felt that even the divine contract could be killed.

Therefore, with the support of these factors, Li Ye is confident that he can kill the Three Goddesses Covenant without any injury.

What Li Ye lacks at the moment is only time and corresponding experience.

"Wow, interesting.

Do you want to take all the responsibility on yourself? -"

Gilgamesh immediately understood what Li Ye meant, and then smiled: "How arrogant! Li Ye, have you ever been told that before?

What an arrogant and domineering act it is to ignore the will of others.

Very good, I admire your will, so go ahead and do it!"

As for Li Ye's task of taking on the three goddesses alone, Gilgamesh wanted to see how far Li Ye could go.

Is it really possible to recruit the Three Pillar Goddesses into your camp on your own?

Gilgamesh, whose energy was already mostly occupied by government affairs and magic consumption, was very happy that someone could solve these troublesome things.

"And one more thing--"

At this moment, Li Ye's voice sounded again.

But Gilgamesh's brows suddenly jumped, and he had a bad feeling.

"Something about Tiamat, the Mother of Creation."

Li Ye gazed at Gilgamesh on the throne. As the only king who ruled this land, Gilgamesh was the oldest hero king who had the vision to see the future.

It is impossible to be unaware of Tiamat's appearance—

Gilgamesh's reaction was just as Li Ye expected. He nodded naturally and said, "Merlin told you?"

In Gilgamesh's opinion, only the eccentric flower magician Merlin would tell Liye about Tiamat.

"I have developed a connection with the goddess Tiamat and seem to be seeing her on a deep level."

"What?"

After hearing these words, even Gilgamesh couldn't sit still.

Tiamat, the mother of creation, who should have been trapped in the cradle built by Merlin and fell into a deep sleep, actually still had the energy to establish a deep connection with Li Ye.

What is the purpose of this?

Gilgamesh looked at Li Ye deeply.

If the contact was with someone else, Gilgamesh would have just thought that it was a means for Tiamat to save herself, but Li Ye was too special. If Merlin hadn't found Li Ye first, Gilgamesh didn't know what would happen.
