The belated roar echoed throughout the underworld, even affecting the countless undead souls imprisoned in the gun prisons. The pain that had lingered for thousands of years disappeared for a moment.

Under this attack, even the invincible Ereshkigal in the underworld would have to temporarily avoid the attack if he was not careful!

Order the huge Garula spirit to stand in front of itself and block all the Holy Judgment!

The result was that half of the Garula Spirit's body was shattered, and it lost the strength to fight again. The price of losing the huge Garula Spirit was that an even more fierce attack would soon fall on Ereshkigal himself!

But Ereshkigal would not sit still and wait for death. Almost at the moment when the Garula spirit was destroyed, she activated her own divine power. The petite and adorable goddess figure instantly rose to a higher level, transforming into the cold Garula spirit!

Unlike the summoned undead, Ereshkigal uses himself as a base and transforms into the form of the Garula spirit, which is more suitable for combat and extremely cold!

The surging lightning spear suddenly extended and was held in the hand of the Garula spirit transformed by Ereshkigal. Just by sweeping it forward, Mash and the three Sabers were knocked away!

Can't even avoid it!

In the underworld, Ereshkigal, who controls the underworld, is an invincible being and the queen that all the dead must obey.

The heroic spirits are the echoes of the dead, even if they are people who died in the future, but their essence has not changed. They are the bodies of the dead who were defeated by Ereshkigal.

Only the living can challenge Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld, and even shake the power of God!

"Finally you've shown your true abilities..."

Gilgamesh, who was at the highest point, kept moving. Artillery fire continued from the golden gate behind him, distracting Ereshkigal's attention and canceling out the lightning. This allowed Mash to catch his breath and climb up from the ground again to launch an attack on Ereshkigal.

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, reduce the number of your servants by one to avoid exceeding your limit. That guy is coming!"

Ishtar, who was not far from Fujimaru Ritsuka, shouted, “Hurry up!”

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was sweating profusely, decisively canceled the summons to the dragon-slaying hero Siegfried, leaving only the two kings on the battlefield to continuously consume Ereshkigal.

And at the moment when Fujimaru Ritsuka was touched by Siegfried's summons, a dark stream of light burst out from the darkness and hit the huge body of the Garula spirit transformed by Ereshkigal with unmatched force.

At this moment, the distance between the two was so close that it could even be considered skin contact.

Holding the holy spear, Rongominiad Liye made the distance between himself and the Garula spirit become infinitely small, even equivalent to nothing. Before Ereshkigal could resist——

The Holy Judgment was triggered again!

boom!

The sudden explosion of dark aurora shattered the body of the Garula spirit, revealing the petite figure of Ereshkigal inside!

Ignoring Ereshkigal's stunned expression, Li Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed Ereshkigal's white wrist, pulling it out of the Galula Spirit!

"If you do something wrong, you will be punished!"

There was a golden light in Li Ye's eyes. Although it was not a manifestation of divinity, its majesty was no less than that of a god. It was a symbol of Li Ye's self.

The absolute self is the firm will that cannot be erased even by the long passage of time.

"I like death. I know the beauty of life, so I understand the meaning of death even more. But even so, Ereshkigal, you who have performed your duties for tens of thousands of years should not tarnish this responsibility yourself."

Li Ye stared at Ereshkigal in front of him, and under the pressure of the goddess of death, he shouted: "So, is this what you really think?"

"Eh?"

As if he hadn't figured out why Li Ye was able to defeat Ereshkigal, who had his own power, he was completely separated from the Garula spirit. The lightning spear that fell to the ground symbolized the end of the battle.

Tread.

Ereshkigal, who was held in Li Ye's arms, fell back to the ground. When Li Ye let her go, she just kept her head down, not looking at Li Ye and Fujimaru Ritsuka and others who had rushed over.

"I'm back!"

Ishtar, who had regained her life, shouted with shining eyes: "The goddess is finally back!"

With the defeat of Ereshkigal, the curse on Ishtar was broken, and her returning divinity caused her body to return to normal size.

Gilgamesh on the side also said: "The restraints on this king have also been released. Although returning to Uruk's body is the most important thing, this matter still needs an ending."

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked at Ereshkigal and Liye not far away.

"You lose, Ereshkigal."

Li Ye put away the Holy Spear and stared at Ereshkigal who lowered his head in front of him, and said lightly: "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Take my head and execute me, the goddess who believed the magic king's slander and tried to rule Uruk."

Ereshkigal said firmly, as if failure had not changed her will: "But I will not admit that I was wrong.

I am different from Gorgon. She wants to exterminate humans out of revenge for everything that was taken away from her.

I am based on the desire to dominate, kill all life on the surface, dominate all souls, this is my idea, even if I fail, I will not waver. "

"Is this what you really mean?"

Li Ye, who was unmoved, raised his eyebrows and forcefully lifted Ereshkigal's head up to look him in the eye: "Ereshkigal, are you sure this is true?"

Li Ye, who had come into contact with Ereshkigal several times, did not think that these were sincere words from Ereshkigal.

"Eh?"

Shocked by Li Ye's sudden action, Ereshkigal stepped back subconsciously, an unnatural blush covering his snow-white face.

"Cough cough!"

But Ereshkigal quickly calmed down and finally looked straight at Liye and said, "There is nothing to say about losers. As the queen of the Land of the Dead, I lost to humans. As a goddess, I lost to Ishtar. There is no one more unsuccessful than me.

And I hate the living the most. If you don’t intend to become my property, don’t try to understand me.”

"Yeah--"

After hearing this, Li Ye came up with the answer and constructed the golden holy sword again. Just as the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception appeared again -

The silent slash tore apart Ereshkigal, who had a lost look on his face, and the splattering blood of God covered Liye's eyes, causing him to lose his sight.

Chapter 234: Flowers for the Underworld

A sudden scene interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Liar——

I--"

Ereshkigal, who had barely reacted, was completely unable to resist the power of the sword, and it seemed as if its power had never taken effect at all.

Ereshkigal, the invincible goddess of the underworld, was cut into two by an inexplicable blow!

"You guy!"

When Ishtar saw half of her body being attacked, her mind went blank and she kicked the old man behind Ereshkigal without thinking.

Gilgamesh stood still without moving, but his eyes suddenly became serious, and he asked, "Old man, who are you?"

Even the Hero King Gilgamesh, when he saw the old man behind Ereshkigal, was like looking at flowers in the fog, and could not see any information at all.

"Ms. Ereshkigal?"

Mashu, with a nervous look on her face, strode forward, trying to separate the old man from Ereshkigal and Liye. Now they were too close!

And the flying Ishtar easily penetrated through the old man's body, as if the figure was just an illusion, existing only in everyone's sight and never really existed.

Unlike the reactions of others, Li Ye, whose vision was blinded by the blood of God, looked calm, and his gem-like vertical pupils still saw the death.

It was something more grandiose than any death Li Ye had ever seen.

Ereshkigal, the cornerstone of the underworld, is equivalent to the existence of the underworld. She is the goddess who possesses all the power of the underworld. Using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to look at Ereshkigal is equivalent to looking at the entire underworld!

Not only Ereshkigal, who was equivalent to the underworld, but also the figure of the ancient behind the girl was seen by Li Ye.

It is like the existence of [death], acting in accordance with destiny, and is the second highest existence.

An incomparably shining death star in human history.

The moment he observed these two things, Li Ye's brain boiled and blood flowed from all his seven orifices.

But Li Ye relied on his strong physical fitness and self-healing ability to forcibly ignore the extreme load brought by this observation [Death], and even regarded it as a consumption within the normal range.

Snapped.

Gently catching the [severed] Ereshkigal, Liye swallowed the blood that was about to gush out, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since we last met. It seems that I am still not mature enough!"

The old man who appeared behind Ereshkigal and slashed Ereshkigal's divine body in two and tore apart Ereshkigal's divinity was the Grand Assassin, the Old Man of the Mountain!

The respected teacher who taught Li Ye the art of assassination in the sixth singularity. If it weren't for the teachings of Shan Zhiweng, Li Ye's mastery of instant death would still be at a superficial level.

In this seventh singularity, Li Ye also met the Old Man of the Mountain on the day he first went to the underworld, and they met again now.

The moment Li Ye used the Mystic Death Perception Eyes to observe Ereshkigal, he understood the purpose of the old man's appearance.

Following the guidance of [Fate], he severed the goddess covenant that bound Ereshkigal's divinity. If Li Ye was asked to sever this covenant, it would be impossible for him to do so.

Although Liye had successfully severed the goddess covenant on the divinity of Quetzalcoatl, Liye was unable to successfully find the location of the covenant when facing Ereshkigal.

The goddess who is spread across the line of death and is equivalent to death in this underworld, with Li Ye’s current attainments, he is unable to touch the deep divinity and the covenant of the goddess.

Only the Grand Assassin, the old man of the mountain, the origin of the Assassin class, and an assassin who has reached the divine realm can do this.

The sword swung at the goddess of the underworld seemed to have left an indelible mark in Li Ye's eyes.

That was undoubtedly a skill that had reached the pinnacle and the divine realm. Even gods could not escape from this sword.

This made Li Ye feel envious.

When will my skills be able to reach one tenth of the level of the old man in the mountains?

"Immature, too immature. If you want to show off, you should do so later."

The deep voice of the old man in the mountain sounded slowly, and his majestic eyes swept over the crowd, lingering for a moment on Ishtar, who was in full divinity, and said, "Calm down and look carefully. What I cut off was not his life, but his alliance contract."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ereshkigal, who was lying in Li Ye's arms, suddenly opened his eyes, touched himself in panic, and spoke quickly: "Wow! I was scared to death! I was not cut in half just now, was I?! Two halves in the mythical sense?!!"

Only Ereshkigal, who faced the sword head-on, was able to realize what had happened. She was literally cut in half. Not only the body of this pseudo-Servant, but even the divinity representing Ereshkigal was torn apart by the sword!

This made Ereshkigal completely unable to calm down. Fortunately, Li Ye quickly held down Ereshkigal's panicked hands and said, "Calm down, Ereshkigal."

"Eh?"

As if he had just realized where he was, Ereshkigal's cheeks flushed immediately. He quickly broke free from Li Ye's hand, covered his burning cheeks, and uttered an ambiguous groan: "What's going on?"

But at this time, Li Ye had already shifted his attention away from Ereshkigal and continued to stare at the Old Man of the Mountain in front of him. As Li Ye raised his head, his eyes met the Old Man of the Mountain's deep gaze.

Gilgamesh's solemn questioning voice also sounded: "So, old man, who are you? The only living people in the underworld are Liye and Fujimaru Ritsuka, but you are not dead either. The skills you just displayed are definitely not something that ordinary people can reach. You are neither me, nor Chaldea, nor the Magic King. Who summoned you?"

While Gilgamesh was questioning the Mountain Elder, Mash heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Ereshkigal was fine, and said with a smile, "Senior, Miss Ereshkigal is fine!"

But at this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka was staring at the old man in front of Li Ye. This was definitely not the first time she had seen this old man.

In Uruk—

"Who knows - it's only because the situation is entangled that I came from the abyss to move the needle. It's okay. I only cut off the alliance for the sake of the same [realm country]."

The old man in the mountain chuckled, but soon looked at Ereshkigal in Liye's arms, his eyes became deeper and more majestic: "Ereshkigal, you concealed the truth and made up lies. If you still have a trace of shame, tell me the reason why you built the Kingdom of the Dead -

This is because the goddess, to whom souls are entrusted, always deeply loves humans."

"What nonsense! I love only my own things, only souls imprisoned in prison."

Ereshkigal broke free from Liye’s embrace and stood on the land of the underworld again, saying stubbornly: “Look at this country, a sky without light, a ground without brightness, and soil without flowers.

There is indeed no entertainment, nothing at all. Even the souls I don’t understand what they are saying, but there is no lack of silence and tranquility, only the rest of death, which is absolutely not inferior to other worlds! ”

"Life on earth, the people on earth, and so on are of no importance at all. I only love what has fallen into this country.

So, how could I possibly love the humans on earth?"

"Ereshkigal, this is just a sophistry."

Listening quietly to Ereshkigal's words, Li Ye simply made a concluding remark.

"What...what are you doing, this isn't an excuse!

Hearing this, Ereshkigal stammered and retorted: "I am only interested in dead humans."

But with Ereshkigal's stubbornness, even the old man in the mountain could not stand it anymore: "Yes, this is a sophistry, Ereshkigal, the bloody flower dedicated to the earth, you are not in love with dead humans, but with humans who have the fate of dying sooner or later.

The goddess who does not degrade death into something disgusting and terrifying, but instead reveres it and seeks to protect the remaining souls after death.

You joined the alliance in order to bring as many souls as possible to the Land of the Dead for protection, even if you don't get any understanding and are isolated among the tens of thousands of souls in this country.

Protecting this silence is your dignity as a goddess."

The last fig leaf was completely removed, and Ereshkigal completely lost the ability to refute, and the blush on his cheeks took a long time to fade.
