"Good good."

The gods suddenly began to discuss with joy.

"I was right. This child is really a fanatical believer in the gods."

"Completely different from Gilgamesh, and he has the courage to face Gilgamesh."

"So it's decided to be him?"

"Ok."

Susa listened to the gods' discussion.

Thoughtful.

"very good."

Finally, a calm god spoke up: "We appreciate your courage and piety, but it is too difficult to defeat Gilgamesh with your strength. Gods are also divided into different strengths, and status is a very important factor.

Without great power, you can't even fight Gilgamesh on equal terms.

So please don't be so reckless. Courage should not be manifested as recklessness."

Sousa listened and seemed a little "touched".

Then he asked: "Then how should we do it?"

"Just like Ning Sang said, you two should just compare based on the management of the city-state. The important thing is never the strength. Otherwise, Ishtar..."

The steady voice froze.

Suddenly a hurried voice with thunder and lightning said: "What are you doing, Ti Ishtar?"

In fact, many of the main gods in Sumerian mythology are natural meteorological gods, so Susa could tell who the source of the voice was at once, because the characteristics were too obvious.

"Okay, in short, power is not absolute, but ideas are."

The calm voice changed the subject, “So we want you to have a showdown with Gilgamesh so that he can understand the error of his ways.

Otherwise, he who does not believe in gods would be an outlier among all the children. Moreover, as you can see, he is also very cruel to his subjects. Only by finding faith can he change his ways. "

Gilgamesh is definitely not that kind of person.

And even if they compare wins and losses, they will not believe in gods.

But Sousa understood.

Sure enough, the gods wanted to recruit me into their group.

Make yourself their spokesperson and then fight Gilgamesh.

Of course Susa agreed to this!

The Epic of Gilgamesh is indeed not the earliest story told by humankind. The reason why it has become a classic and is widely sung is largely because it is a Central Asian story.

Moreover, Gilgamesh disobeyed the gods, bid farewell to the gods, and refused to manage the city-state together with the gods. This is completely contrary to the story model of the three traditional Semitic religions and even Asia.

It can be said that in the literary world, Gilgamesh is a predecessor to many modern mythological novels such as The Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West.

what does this mean?

This means that in this story, the gods are the biggest evil force that the protagonist Gilgamesh has to face.

And now he has received an invitation letter from the evil forces.

How can I not join?

After joining, even if you wear a black striped sportswear and squat on the street every day, you may become a villain.

Susa raised his head, looked at the gods with fervent eyes, and said, "I understand!"

"I will fight Gilgamesh, but my strength seems insufficient."

"It's okay, we have prepared a gift for you as well."

Before he finished his words, a hammer appeared out of thin air in front of Sousa.

"?"

A hammer.

A sacred hammer.

You can't see any trace of labor on his body.

Spotless.

It's like a weapon that gods should have.

Compared with an ordinary hammer, it is in absolute terms the emperor's golden hoe.

But why give me this?

Susa was completely confused.

What kind of Sumerian deception is this?

If there is a disagreement, a beautifully packaged hammer will appear and start to attack others.

Although Susa is the [Hammer Incarnation], it doesn't mean that a hammer can suddenly appear and stick around.

Besides, he had just joined a criminal gang and was given a hammer by the gang leader.

It really has a Young and Dangerous feel to it.

Holding a hammer, he fought a decisive battle with the oldest yellow-haired guy on the street.

There is a large group of people behind it.

The gods obviously didn't care about Susa's complaints.

He continued: "As you can see, this is the gift we prepared for you, the Hammer of Heaven!"

Ok.

A very rustic name.

Susa complained in his mind.

The calm god continued to explain: "These hammers are made with all our divine power and oaths. They are a symbol of your status and also a manifestation of your role in this world.

The world wants you to hammer the world together firmly and not let the sacred things fall apart.

And I hope you can strike Gilgamesh, making him realize his mistake, and become the chisel of heaven, carrying through the oath between man and God, heaven and earth, for eternity.

His greatest role is to hammer all vows to death. All promises will be fixed by you between heaven and earth.

In combat, of course, you can break many kinds of spells, but it seems that you don't need to do that right now.

This is the help we give you, so that you can defeat Gilgamesh."

Sousa looked at the hammer in front of him.

Weapons given by heaven and earth?

It sounds like a pie in the sky painted by the gods for themselves.

On the one hand, it is introduced as a gift to oneself, but in fact it is a labor tool used by workers, and it is impossible to start working without it.

On the one hand, there are quite a few constraints on this hammer.

Including the belief in gods, etc., I can completely avoid Susa from becoming the next Gilgamesh or Ishtar.

It is so lawless that even the gods cannot control it.

And once the agreement was made, there was no way to change it even if Ishtar came.

It can be said that even the modern black-hearted capitalists are compared to them...

Maybe the capitalists are more unscrupulous.

But hanging together on the street lamp is inevitable.

"That's not enough."

Susa felt the power of the hammer and said, "This alone is not enough."

"Then what do you want?"

The gods did not think that Susa was raising the price.

Or maybe they had already planned this.

Susa might be a smart man who could easily find the problems in the Hammer of Heaven and reject it.

So just keep stacking the chips upwards.

"We can let you build a new city-state as your holy land."

"This is a request for comparison between me and Gilgamesh."

There is no sincerity.

Susa seemed to see through the gods and said, "This is not enough."

"Then we allow you to expand your faith throughout Sumer."

The gods said with some pain.

After all, even if there are only a few people in a city-state who believe in Susa.

Or the city-state that you protect will always feel uncomfortable.

"Compared with the earthly authority of the Son of Man, I cannot win with just these."

Susa sighed and said, "So we need something else."

"What else do you need?"

Finally, one of the gods couldn't hold it anymore.

"This is already our best efforts to help you. What else do you want?"

"I want……"

Susa heard this.

He clasped his hands together and sat on the ground thinking for a long time.

He said: "My request is very simple. I would like to add one more thing, that is, everyone in the city-state I build can believe in all your gods.

In other words, whoever is my believer must also be your believer. "

"This one……"

The gods are also thinking.

"And you must respond to any prayers and requests made by my followers, as long as they provide enough equality - equality measured by the goddess of justice and fairness."

Susa said in a sonorous voice.

Since the gods are not very sincere, I might as well get the first angel investment myself.

"this?"

For the gods, it is not such a big loss.

The gods were talking a lot.

After all, it's just a simple display of divine power, and it doesn't take much effort.

Moreover, since the people in the city-state were all kept in captivity by the gods, no one would suddenly come to believe in Susa.

But if we provide such help, compared with this, doesn’t it seem that everyone is a little cheap?

The gods were talking a lot.

Some people shook their heads.

Those who want it will definitely do so.
