"I don't like Ishtar, and I won't like you either, and you didn't tell me. You must be afraid that I will vent my anger on you because of Ishtar."

Ereshkigal turned his head and looked to the side, trying not to let others see the change in his expression: "After all, everyone knows that I don't like Ishtar. I am just a goddess hiding in the dark, who will neither be worshipped nor bring blessings to the world.

So I must be jealous of Ishtar, who appeared on earth as a glorious goddess, wandering in the sky, being worshipped and loved by people, while I could only look at Her.

We are sisters, but have opposite fates, so jealousy is inevitable, and you must be thinking that I am just that kind of woman, so I ignored Ishtar when I told you your story.

Because you are afraid that I will dislike you after I know that you are His servant, and you have no way to escape from my territory. "

Ereshkigal laughed sarcastically and said, "Yes, you guessed it right. I would not like it, so now you must stay in the underworld. Of course, I will not restrict your freedom, nor will I hurt you. You can rest assured about this."

"You don't need to make any excuses. I understand everything. I must be such a goddess in your eyes. But it doesn't matter. The underworld happens to be your eternal residence.

With a dark woman like me!"

"That's not the case."

Susa shouted, frowning.

Although he had anticipated Ereshkigal's character, Susa still felt uncomfortable hearing such cold words, or his own judgment of himself.

The once arrogant tyrants would not think they were wrong, and the gods high above would not complain about their own impotence and rage.

Instead, it is a person who has been working diligently who is talking about how bad he is.

Why!

It's like when you were in school and you had poor grades, but you worked hard to get from failing to 70 points when you couldn't keep up with the pace. As a result, you have to study with classmates who should have always been at the top and whose family conditions and educational resources are probably several times more abundant. You have to agree that you really "need to work hard";

Like liking someone, obviously you have been trying very hard to get close to the other person, you will care about every move of the other person and devote yourself to it, even if you are very sleepy, you will go to bed in the morning for the other person, and turn on the reminder for fear of missing the other person's message. In the end, you find that the other person is just finding an outlet for your emotional pressure. The other person will arrogantly say that he has someone he likes, he used to like you, but he doesn't like you because of his personality, how he is determined to like someone, how hard he works, etc., and he will also laugh at himself and say that he is a lowly licking dog;

For example, after working, I worked for a project for a long time, but my boss still said it was not good enough. A simple project may even require seven or eight plans. I also have to work flexibly from 9 to 5, but I actually get off work at 10 o'clock or even one or two o'clock. The holidays are merged from nine days to seven days, and my salary may be deducted at any time. In the end, I can only watch short videos and see the exquisite lives of various middle-class or even higher-class bloggers, laugh at myself for not being a second-generation, and sigh that this is the useless society, and I still need to work hard, etc.

These……

Why!

You are clearly an oppressed person, so why do you have to swallow your anger and internalize everything?

School is a cage, because schools in modern countries are themselves a machine for class reproduction and serving the state ideology. The teacher standing on the podium is merely a tool representing authority, no different from the chief of a military branch or a prison warden. On what basis should we distinguish whether students are good or not? In the end, we say that good students are talented, motivated and self-control, and we implicitly say that poor students lack so-called "talent"... If this is the case, wealthy children will always be more talented than children in rural areas, and it is not even a difference in species, because of self-control, hard work, talent...

A cheated love is a cage. You treat love in the way society expects and deduce, but you end up with a scumbag. There is nothing wrong with everything, and what you want and do is the love that everyone expects, but you are cheated and called childish, brainless, love-brained, or even a bootlicker by your friends. Condemning the cheater is worse than ridiculing the victim, but... this is the deep love that people yearn for.

Work is a cage. By all means, people are degraded into tools, resources, and nicknames. In the end, regardless of gender, pregnancy, illness or disability, work is added and incomes are depressed. Through exploitation in all aspects, people can only rely on more work in exchange for basic guarantees of survival.

The underworld is also a cage. For Ereshkigal, this is his prison. The world needs him to maintain order and run smoothly. Otherwise, the dead souls will only wander in the mortal world, affecting the development of the world and people's lives. But everyone looks at Ereshkigal with fear. It's easy to understand for the mortals, because life is the most important thing to them.

But the gods high above should know the importance of Ereshkigal, the heavy tank he has been since birth, and the efforts he has made so far.

But no one has ever confirmed the existence of Ereshkigal, and there has always been disgust and alienation towards him.

But Ereshkigal must also feel that everything he has done is worth it and needs to be undertaken by one person.

Why!

Although he had ulterior motives, and although his starting point was not to benefit Ereshkigal, he was even just a villain who wanted to die.

But villains can also get angry, and have their own reasons for getting angry.

People will also get angry because of such things. Even if the villains will bring misfortune to others and cause war, it does not mean that the villains will stay and bully honest people.

On the contrary, the villains don't bother to do such things.

On the contrary, the reason why villains are villains is precisely because the direction they are heading is exactly the opposite of that of people, a goal that is not recognized by others, a state that is free from all worldly rules and regulations and is not bound by constraints.

It can be said that the villain is not just a bad guy, the villain is also...

The freest person in the world!!!

So Susa would be angry at those who were bound by worldly conventions and who mocked themselves.

Even if he wanted to destroy Sumer, he would not hesitate to attack Gilgamesh in a fight, and even sent his minions to attack Gilgamesh. When facing the gods who are high above him, he would also use the most despicable means to cunningly deceive the other party, betray them, make them pay the corresponding price, and in turn become the running dogs and tools of the oppressed before. When praying boringly, he would even look at the statue of the goddess and think in his heart that the goddess's breasts are really small.

But even so, Susa would still feel angry and sick at people who were clearly truly disgusting.

Maybe it was false at first, but knowing Ereshkigal, he still felt angry when he heard what Ereshkigal said.

"Ereshkigal is not that kind of person!"

Chapter 87 Ishtar, what a rotten fish and shrimp, is worthy of competing with you? !

"Ereshkigal is not that kind of person."

He almost shouted at the girl.

How could such a thing happen?

Sousa couldn't bear to watch it at all.

Being high and mighty, having fine clothes and delicious food, is never a good adjective, but at least for Ereshkigal, even if he does not have these things, he should be treated as a child who is to be alienated.

You shouldn't blame yourself in the end.

but……

talk?

Argument?

Susa had absolutely no intention of arguing.

The villain is the freest person, and this is a definition that will never be a problem at any time, just like it is impossible for a villain to be an "extremely gentle person", these are principles that are engraved in the image.

Therefore, he had no intention of reaching out to Ereshkigal and giving him a hug.

Nor did he intend to comfort Ereshkigal with Asha's words.

They will not use their shoulders or handkerchiefs to reach out to each other, listen to each other's heart, and become the one who understands each other.

Romance under the moonlight, gentle comfort by the sea.

For the villains, none of these exist.

But...

"Ereshkigal would never think so."

Susa repeated it a third time.

"Jealous of Ishtar?"

"Do you feel inferior to the gods in heaven?"

"Will you vent your anger on other souls?"

"Scary?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Susa glared at Ereshkigal angrily: "Are you an idiot? Is this the kind of person Ereshkigal is in your mind? You are really ridiculous!"

Although he can be said to be a victim, his constant self-blame and inferiority complex are not without reasons.

If you internalize and accept all the slander as something you should bear.

Then you are not just a victim, you have become your own perpetrator.

If Gilgamesh were here, he would definitely sneer at Ereshkigal.

The same is true of Sousa.

In Sousa's understanding, many villains also have embarrassing pasts.

But can we transform the hatred and unbearable memories in our hearts into the driving force for moving forward and a spur to ourselves?

Transformed into a search for self, this is a rare quality of a villain.

Every failure is embarrassing and costly, but when faced with these things, we can regroup and think about trying again next time.

The protagonist may also have this kind of character, but only when facing every real failure will he not be confused or shaken.

When facing setbacks, one needs to be close to others and get comfort from others in order to change one's emotions. What kind of people are those who face setbacks?

Not to mention saying this about yourself in front of others in a sarcastic way.

"Is there something missing in your brain?"

Gentle comfort should be the protagonist's weapon, while for the villain, verbal abuse is more suitable.

Insults against the incompetent.

Contempt for self-abandonment.

This was not arrogance, but disgust for Ereshkigal's attitude and anger at him for not fighting back.

This is true of everything in the world.

At the moment of creation, all life was given the possibility to open up the future and create itself.

The reason why the origin chose humans to become the protagonists of the era is also because of the extension of this possibility.

Therefore, just as it is said in the Bible, "Enter through the narrow gate", all things have the obligation to strive for freedom, and they also have the possibility to pursue themselves, perfect themselves, and even achieve enlightenment and become "transcendent".

Even ants will fight for survival, but the impression of others now and in the future will make them despise themselves and give up the possibility of proving themselves.

This is totally stupid.

Ereshkigal did not get angry in the face of Susa's barrage of insults.

Instead, he looked at Susa with a puzzled look.

Ereshkigal could understand Ishtar's abuse of him on the ground.

After all, he was now equivalent to kidnapping Ishtar's subordinate god. According to Ishtar's character and the relationship between the two gods, it was understandable that Ereshkigal was scolded.

Moreover, when faced with such an outstanding hero, from God, and in crisis, it is inevitable that emotions will get out of control.

But Susa's abuse was completely incomprehensible to Ereshkigal.

He was standing there fine just a moment ago, but in an instant he became angry because of his own words.

But did I say something wrong?

Why did He insist on saying that Ereshkigal was not that kind of person?

It is obviously so.

Ereshkigal did not understand.

But Susa did not stop.

"Although you may think that I am quibbling, or begging for mercy in order to survive, I must say that Ereshkigal is absolutely not that kind of person. In my eyes, Ereshkigal is not like you."

Susa said affirmatively: "Although the time of contact is not much, but don't forget that I am the other side of the Earth Mother, the priest of Ishtar who represents fertility and harvest, and the follower of God. Therefore, I naturally know something about the other side of Ereshkigal.

Therefore, while I was on earth, I had no fear of Ereshkigal.

The underworld is naturally a taboo topic for living beings. Even the gods in the sky are afraid of death and feel puzzled about the underworld.

It is inevitable to feel disgusted, after all, that is how they exist."

Susa continued, "There are also many descriptions of Ereshkigal in the stone tablets, which are generally descriptions of disgust. After all, this is people's attitude towards death."

“So that’s who I am.”

Ereshkigal retorted unwillingly.

"certainly not."

Susa quickly retorted: “Although people have a disgusting attitude towards the underworld, surprisingly, there are not many real records of the description of the underworld.

The prayer was only to keep death away from him, not out of hatred for Ereshkigal.

It is also a false imagination because no one has ever entered the territory of Hades.

Rather, this is Ereshkigal's strength.

As the other side of heaven and earth, the gods in the sky often cause all kinds of troubles for people, but if someone no longer believes in themselves, they will also bring floods into this world. The land that people have just cultivated and the houses that they have just built may collapse at any time because of their anger.

The reason for all this may just be some small negligence of people, and in the end, other gods are needed to persuade them so that people can have hope of survival.

At this time, people also need to be grateful to the gods who caused the disaster.
