Chapter 726
Roman: "Really... Ishtar is the goddess of harvest.
It can be said to be the Mother Earth Goddess who represents human life.
In contrast, Ereshkigal, who represents human death, is the Mother Goddess of Fear.
These two columns are integrated inside and outside.
Possibly even beings born from the same divinity.
The goddess who gave birth to life eventually became the goddess symbolizing death.
Izanami of Japanese mythology is no exception. "
So when Ishtar is summoned, will Ereshkigal be summoned in a chain?
People are thoughtful, but they understand the truth!
Why is Ishtar a good god? The lovely Elle is known as the Mother Goddess of Fear.
one thought indignantly.
Is it because Ishtar's priesthood is more popular?
Are all the people of Sumer blind?
Although the current Ishtar is not bad in nature, and is even a little cute,
But we can't forget the goddess who is still waiting for the human soul alone to this day.
Girls like the little princess recall the scene of Ailei weaving a cage alone in the deserted underworld, carefully placing soul flames one after another.
Some pity arose in my heart.
It's so pitiful that even though you have been working hard for humanity, you are feared and ostracized by people.
How cruel will fate be to this goddess?
Roman: "And the two have the same divinity,
So in calculation, it becomes a situation where [the Sumerian god only has one pillar]! "
Ishtar became nervous: "Wow... According to this statement, that guy has been secretly using my container (body) so far!?"
Merlin: "It's possible.
Ereshgal could not leave Hades. When you act on the ground, you will use your body.
Like sneaking out while you're asleep. "
Asleep?
At this time, people remember that it will appear before dark, or whenever they are resting...
Ishtar seemed to be a completely different person.
It is indeed Ai Lei!
And Quetzalcoatl said that now the whole of Uruk is the fragrance of her death.
The Garula spirits of Ereshkigal will take away the souls of those who have lost their physical strength.
"So it turns out that because his physical strength was exhausted, the king lost consciousness and his soul was secretly taken away by the Garula spirit?!" the blacksmith's son gritted his teeth.
Siduli said that if this was the case, it would still be too late, as Wang’s body had not been buried yet!
As long as the soul can be liberated from the prison of the underworld,
Wang will surely wake up again!
Sure enough, he was going to the underworld to regain his soul.
In the mythical area of Mesopotamia, people still know that as long as they return from the underworld, they can be resurrected...
When they first knew about this kind of thing, they were all envious for a long time.
But even if she can't be resurrected, the underworld with Airei by her side seems to be - not bad? !
A group of noble young men thought with excitement.
Human beings' fear of death comes more from the fear of the unknown world after death——
But now, they know that there is a simple underworld in the world of Sumer, and they know about the special and unique mistress of the underworld - Ai Lei.
‘The Sumerians are so happy. It would be great if we had such a goddess waiting for us in the underworld. ’ People can’t help but think,
Encouraged by Merlin, Guda also determined to regain the king's soul.
The plot at this time has completely connected with the last fragment revealed in the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Ishtar: “That’s the underworld, the underworld?
Is that a world where any heroic spirit or divinity will be rendered powerless?
There, Ereshgal is absolute law.
No matter what, you will be caught and impaled, right? "
People saw the body of the goddess Venus trembling!
! ?
To actually scare that lawless Ishtar into this state.
...gudong... people swallowed their saliva,
etc--
Thinking about it carefully, could it be that in the era of mythical epics, the incident of Ishtar being stripped naked and thrown on the city gate left a shadow?
When I saw Guda’s determined look.
Ishtar: (Terrible, this situation is not good.
If you don’t run away now——)
Just as Ishtar was about to run away, he was caught by Quetzalcoatl.
No matter how hard Ishtar struggled, it was all to no avail——
She can only be made to shout the strange Latin goddess.
"Let go, let go, let me go!
There is no more Shepherd God (Dumuz)! ? Even if you die, you won’t be resurrected.
Why do you still want to go to a ghost place like the underworld so much——! "Ishtar.
Shepherd? ! !
People's memories are gradually recalled,
In the myth, Ishtar was able to return safely in the end because she replaced herself who should have lived and died with this nominal husband!
People's expressions suddenly became quite complicated...
After the death of Dumuzi, the god of plants and shepherd, Uruk was plunged into natural disasters for a long time.
Large areas of the pastures under the jurisdiction of that god died——
This kind of place that even the gods are afraid of can even spread to the plains of Mesopotamia...
Woo~! People are somewhat wondering why the underworld is so feared.
If you hadn’t already seen a lot of the gentle and kind side of Ai Lei, the mistress of the underworld, you would not have known the death and loneliness of the underworld.
It is absolutely impossible for people to imagine a beautiful place.
They couldn't help but think - what is the underworld like in the singularity?
Although Guda accidentally went to the underworld last time, he came back soon.
Thinking of taking this opportunity, they can also enjoy a rare sightseeing trip to the underworld as a living person...
Everyone was a little excited and looking forward to it.
As long as safety is ensured, no one will not be curious about these unexplored areas!
Later, as the plot accelerated -
People saw Guda and others who had just returned to Uruk set off again and rushed to the city of Kusa.
This is the territory of Ereshkigal in Sumerian mythology.
Just like Ishtar is the urban god of Uruk,
Ereshkigal is the city god of Kusa.
People suddenly realized - is this the entrance to the underworld? ! !
Roman: "But in order to forcefully drag Ishtar, who was unwilling to do so,
It took a full day. "
All day?
When people subconsciously looked at Ishtar, they were shocked when they saw the state of this goddess!
Chapter 972 Everyone: Is it really not a direct murder? ! I...
Ishtar seemed to be dehydrated, and there was a pale aura all over his body.
Ishtar: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu If it wasn't for Quezal Coatl, I would have escaped with brute force..."
I thought that there was nothing I couldn’t do after conquering Mount Abif.
But the result was indeed a miserable failure. I was beaten so badly that I was beaten to pieces. "
people:……! !
Is it really that strong?
Are everything recorded in the Epic of Gilgamesh true? !
…People are not doubting Ishtar’s defeat,
But sometimes I can’t help but wonder whether Ishtar’s defeat was deliberately exaggerated in the written version of the epic.
After all, he is also the master of the Bull of Heaven,
Ishtar, who has the strongest combat power on the surface of the Sumerian mythology system, can only deal with the combination of Shen and En.
Even if he couldn't beat Ai Lei, he wouldn't lose so miserably.
...No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts.
On the other side, facing the ridicule of Quetzalcoatl,
At this point, she accepted her fate, but Ishtar told Guda and others that two people must be left outside.
When they meet Ereshkigal, either they succeed in defeating this goddess, or they are all wiped out. There are only two possibilities.
Leaving Merlin and others behind was a convenient way to let Merlin and others find a way to negotiate with Ereshkigal and let Guda and Mashu return to the ground after the failure.
"..." People looked at the goddess who had already thought of her retreat, and they didn't know what to say.
But people are not very satisfied with the two possibilities Ishtar mentioned.
"Why do you want to defeat Ailei?
Since Ishtar and Quetzalcoatl can be recruited to become teammates, Airei-chan can do the same!
Such a kind goddess, why must she aim to defeat her. "At this moment, those Airei Party members wish they could transform into lackeys of the underworld and join the underworld camp to crusade against the evil Ishtar.
My goddess of the underworld is so cute, how could you hurt her?
Refusing to defeat the goddess,
The right way is to attack the goddess! The crowd is outraged!
at the same time--
Merlin: "To think that he would challenge a battle that he thought he would lose.
After leaving her father's side, will the existence of the goddess also grow? "
Then Ishtar asked why Anna didn't come. It turned out that she stayed at the embassy.
Ishtar said that the child would be of no use in the underworld anyway, so that might be a good idea.
