"I understand what you said."

Ereshkigal said, "I am also willing to help you, but it is difficult to make Hades sink."

"It doesn't matter. No matter what it is, I will try my best to do it."

"OK then……"

A large shovel suddenly condensed in Ereshkigal's hand.

"Here you go, dig upwards!"

Chapter 91: Return of the Gods

"Dig upwards?"

Susa was completely confused as he listened to Ereshkigal's introduction.

"No matter what you want to do, you have no way to return to the mortal world through normal channels. After all, a person who has died once is resurrected once, then dies again, and is resurrected again. Such a huge project is somewhat out of place in this world."

This is true.

Sousa also felt that his recovery and rebounding state was a little difficult to describe, but was this what he thought?

If it weren't for the believers' bad deeds, I would have returned to Fuyuki by now.

Unfortunately, there is no chance anymore, and now I can only go on with gritted teeth.

"So the mortal world cannot recognize your identity now, so you need to use other means to get out of the underworld, and this means is... to dig into the mortal world."

"That makes sense."

Sousa gave a fair assessment.

This is indeed a very reasonable approach.

Dig from underground to the mortal world.

It was as if Ereshkigal were searching for Hades in the midst of the world.

Since it is possible to enter the underworld from the mortal world, then conversely, it means that the underworld and the mortal world are not one-way passages.

In other words, the two spaces are actually physically vertical.

Although it is extremely difficult to find the underworld from the outside to the inside due to the terrain, it is not difficult from the inside to the outside.

Therefore, by digging through the underworld from underground, one can reach the mortal world. This is a very reasonable setting.

When physics and magic are combined, this effect will occur.

"And as long as you dig deeper, you can even dig out the entire underworld."

Ereshkigal said, "Then tell me your opportunity again, this time in more detail, and tell me exactly what you intend to do, and I will make the decision.

If all is possible, I will allow you to bring Hades up and become your ally."

Although she is the goddess of the dead, Ereshkigal still cares about the living.

After all, the people who are still alive now are essentially the souls that I need to comfort in the future.

Instead of letting souls suffer in the mortal world, it is better to choose a good environment for them so that their souls will not cry after death.

"Ok."

Hearing Ereshkigal's words, Susa nodded and held the shovel in his hand.

I knew what I should do instantly.

Looked up.

Thick rock wall.

"You're the one who's going to be kicked by me, right?"

"I haven't even been scared of Gilgamesh before, let alone you."

As he said that, he picked up the shovel and started digging upwards.

Although I don't know how long it will take to dig a passage from the underworld to the mortal world by my own strength, after all, the strength required is enormous.

If it is not accumulated over time, it would at least require a being at the level of a great god to accomplish this task easily.

You know, in the faraway West, there was a top-level dragon species who died of exhaustion because of this kind of thing.

But even though he knew the task was difficult and he didn't know how long it would take, Sousa still wanted to do it.

Time no longer has any meaning to me, this is after all a simulator space.

No matter how long I have been here, it is just a drop in the ocean compared to the real world.

Although plug-ins such as simulators may have an impact on reality, time does not change. It does not matter how long you stay.

We can't go there and find that humanity has been destroyed, right?

Moreover, for this world, there is no way for me to exit before the simulation ends, so I can only sit down.

Shovel, spade, hammer, nails...

Susa used various tools to carve roads.

……

……

……

The mistress of the underworld lives in the palace in the underworld.

Today, hearing the ding-dong sounds in the distance, Ereshkigal stretched lazily.

"Susa was still digging roads."

“It’s amazing perseverance.”

Ereshkigal couldn't help but be surprised.

It is always difficult to distinguish between day and night in the underworld, so Susa's labor lasted for a very long time and was no longer known to anyone.

Maybe dozens of years, or even more.

Although it is impossible to perceive the change between day and night, if you roughly divide the time, it is actually easy to find the seasons.

For example, more elderly people die in winter. If we divide the time into two areas, we can find that the mortality rate is high on winter nights, and the number of deaths also increases during summer daytimes.

People in the Spring and Autumn Period also died in different ways.

Therefore, even though it was difficult to distinguish the four seasons in the underworld, Ereshkigal still managed to come up with a qualified underworld calendar.

Used to help you plan the construction of the cage.

However, although this set of legislation is qualified, it only applies to work. The actual year and month are beyond Ereshkigal's prediction.

He simply relied on some signs to make calculations for himself.

If we go a step further, we can also build a complete framework through the wonderful mathematics, just like the lunar calendar.

But for Ereshkigal, since it was just for work, there was no need to be too meticulous.

But despite this, in Ereshkigal's opinion, Susa has become much more active since he knew that he was going to the mortal world and needed to dig the soil.

Every day I just dig, dig, and dig.

It's not like when it's a soul, it's just warmth.

Overall, it looks more like a living person than a dead spirit.

And once you start digging, you won’t even be able to count.

Ereshkigal could only observe Susa silently.

The two had a good relationship from the beginning, and Susa even found time to talk to Ereshkigal after work.

So much so that Ereshkigal was slightly moved.

It's been too long since anyone talked to her.

Now there was someone who looked busy but was still willing to chat with him, so Ereshkigal was naturally happy.

The relationship between the two people gradually began to show signs of improvement.

When a single man and a single woman live in the same room and are the only ones together for a long time, it is inevitable that they will have spiritual needs.

Just a simple chat can already become a spiritual sustenance.

Many times, long-term interactions between opposite sexes are prone to produce more illusions.

But after the two people communicated for a period of time, the frequency of communication gradually became less and less.

The reason was simple—Sousa had nothing to say.

There are only so many things in this world, and no matter how you communicate with Ereshkigal, you can always reach the end of the conversation.

Ereshkigal's curiosity was also compensated to a certain extent.

What we talked about more was the story of two lifetimes, but it was not easy to tell Ereshkigal about it.

Therefore, the topics that two people can communicate about gradually decrease.

In the end, the topics turned into making promises to each other and talking about what kind of place they wanted the underworld to be.

When there was nothing more to communicate, the two of them just went about doing what they were supposed to do.

Susa continued to dig in the underworld like a groundhog.

And Ereshkigal was made into a cage, waiting for the soul to enter the underworld.

Although they were no longer talking and he didn't know what Susa was thinking, Ereshkigal was still paying attention to Susa.

"It's really hard work. I have persisted all the time."

Ereshkigal murmured to himself, “I thought he would give up soon, but I didn’t expect him to persist until now.

And the plan he mentioned before seems to be... no problem.

If the underworld were allowed to sink into the mortal world, it would also be a kind of complement to the mortal world.

People can think about the scale of their own lives by looking at the opposition between life and death.

And the appearance of both Earth Mother Goddesses in the mortal world is also a good thing for the earth, as the newly established contract will not allow any gods to appear.

But do we really need to do this?"

Ereshkigal occasionally went back to think about this problem.

After all, this concerns the future of oneself, the mortal world, and the underworld.

But looking at Sousa working hard in the distance.

He is obviously a noble god and was once a pampered priest.

Now he is digging the soil here alone.

It can be seen that he does have expectations for the mortal world and wants to go back to save them.

According to Sousa, if it had happened last time, people would have only felt joy, thinking that their prayers and efforts had been rewarded.

But the efforts and prayers at this time seem too easy.

It was so easy that you could meet Susa without encountering basically anything.

The gods of faith will also awaken in response to people's wishes.

This is truly lazy behavior and should never be encouraged.

So I have to go out later.

Let people experience some suffering and then determine how they should develop and when they should appear through their performance.

And this is not a necessary sacrifice, but Sousa still hopes that people can at least grow.

Otherwise, there would be no difference between one's own rule and the rule of gods.

In the end, he was classified as the common master of the era, not a villain, but a coup, which was a bit bad.
