Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 175 Flower of the Underworld
Li Ye knew that the only reason the old man in the mountain gave in was destiny, and the only reason the old man in the mountain could appear in Mesopotamia alone was because of fate.

Li Ye first ruled out himself, so in Li Ye's cognition, there were other people who had a connection with the old man in the mountains.

There is only one human master, Ritsuka Fujimaru.

Thinking of this, Li Ye already understood the purpose of the old man in the mountain's visit.

Of the four goddesses currently active in Mesopotamia, none of them requires the Old Man of the Mountain.

In Li Ye's opinion, except for the Gorgon whom he had not yet seen, the other three goddesses were all towards humans. They loved humans similarly to the Lion King, but in different ways.

In that case, the destiny worthy of the old man in the mountain's action is naturally the most important goddess of creation - Tiamat.

"Old Man Shan, do you have anything to tell me?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Since you took the initiative to show up, is it about this underground underworld, or is it about me?"

If the old man in the mountain shows up on his own initiative, he must have something to tell you.

Otherwise, with the old man's aura blocking the view, even if Li Ye walked in front of him, he might not be able to detect him.

"To you who have experienced death and rebirth, I sincerely congratulate you on your present state. You carry the thoughts of the king who returned to human form. Your future is no longer confused and bleak."

After staring at each other for a long time, the old man in the mountain finally spoke: "As you thought, the reason why I came here is the fate and destiny between me and that little guy.

But the bond between us is not over yet—"

'Um? '

Hearing this, Li Ye was slightly startled.

On the day when the assassination training ended, the old man in the mountain said in person that the fate of both parties was over and expelled Li Ye.

How come [Yuan] has refilled his cup here?
Although he was doubtful about this, Li Ye did not think of asking in detail.

Li Ye knew that even if he asked, he would not get an answer, only the ambiguous response from the old man in the mountain.

It's better not to ask.

Li Ye then smiled and asked: "If this is the case, please tell me the destiny, Mr. Shan.

How should I treat Tiamat, the goddess of creation?"

The old man in the mountain is definitely not an ordinary person, but an assassin who obeys the will of heaven.

The fact that Li Ye had been in contact with Tiamat could naturally not be hidden from the sharp eyes of the old man in the mountain, and his cause and effect and fate were all seen through.

"As an old man, I can't give you more help—"

The old man in the mountain stared at Li Ye, his sharp eyes seemed to tear Li Ye's flesh and flesh, and pull out the soul deep inside: "For you, advice is the most valuable thing -

This is a one-time warning, so listen carefully.

You already know of the three storms that are about to strike Uruk, but that is not enough.

Do not show understanding to those who harbor hatred in their hearts.

Do not express your approval to those who are happy.

Don’t show admiration to someone who is in pain.”

'The three storms, are they the three goddesses?'

Li Ye, who had lived with the old man in the mountains for a month, quickly understood what the old man in the mountains meant.

It is a warning that points directly to the spiritual core of the three goddesses.

This gave Li Ye a deeper understanding of the purpose of the three goddesses fighting for this land.

The old man in the mountain continued, his deep voice echoing over the underworld:
“Things abandoned by humans and the world, things not needed by the world and humans, are precisely the greatest disasters rejected by human history and created by human hands.

Love is evil, and its nature determines its class - Human Evil\Beast."

'Human Evil - Beast'

When he heard the unknown rank, Li Ye subconsciously held his breath.

Love is evil.

Even though its starting point is love, it itself is something abandoned by human history and not needed by the world.

Its act of returning is the birth of disaster.

Its essence is opposed to human history and cannot coexist with it...

"You cannot express your longing for someone you love." The old man in the mountain stared at Li Ye, and Li Ye's soul seemed to be reflected in the dim soul fire: "You have crossed the abyss of life and death, and you carry all my thoughts -

Go find your own way to coexist. Destiny has already told us the future, and we will meet again."

“It’s very mysterious, Mr. Mountain——”

Li Ye continued to smile and did not complain.

"You are disrespectful to visit this land of the dead as a living being. The price is the consumption of your destiny. Leave quickly."

----

Several minutes had passed since he said goodbye to the old man in the mountain, but Li Ye was still staying where he was. He had not left the underworld as the old man in the mountain had said, but was staring quietly at the broken pile of earth.

In the final advice about Tiamat, Li Ye could clearly sense that it was directed at more than one person.

The old man in the mountain is not only talking about Tiamat, but also advising Liye.

Humans hate, humans love.

Rejected by human history, the greatest disaster created by human hands.

Although Li Ye is not clear about his own situation, from his performance, he is rejected by human history and is not needed, just like Tiamat.

But unlike Tiamat, Liye, who is poor and weak, can only barely survive in this world with the help of the Lion King.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a struggle for survival.

'I have no problems, I just want to survive, what's wrong with that?'

Li Ye, who was unshakable, kicked the pile of dirt in front of him and turned away.

The old man in the mountains deserves respect, but Li Ye will not be shaken by this.

Li Ye felt that he would not be able to move forward if his beliefs that supported him were shaken by a few words.

That would disappoint the expectations of the Lion King Altria, Mordred, and Gawain.

【Survive】【Move Forward】

Li Ye hopes not only for his own survival, but also for a complete world, a future where the human history that he is familiar with and unfamiliar with moves forward together.

If this is also evil, Li Ye would rather become human evil.

After meeting the old man in the mountains, Liye was determined to meet Ereshkigal.

In Li Ye's view, the so-called master of the underworld is nothing more than a poor god who was sacrificed at birth.

ding ding ding-

Just as Li Ye was distracted, a strange sound suddenly came from the cages around him, as if urging Li Ye to move forward faster.

Don't stay where you are.

It even began to flash rapidly, just like the horror movies that Li Ye often watched alone in his childhood, as if an invisible ghost appeared and approached Li Ye!
"Huh? Is it that urgent?"

Li Ye scratched his head and suddenly laughed.

It seems that this goddess of the underworld seems to have also merged with Toosaka Rin's personality, which will be quite interesting.

"It's a pity, Goddess Ereshkigal, that I can't see you this time, but we will meet eventually—"

Instead of following the light, Li Ye raised his hand.

The dark magic power emerged with the chanting, and in this quiet world after death, bright colors different from darkness bloomed.

【projection】

"This is my gift, please accept it."

Along with the magical wind that was like the aurora, colorful flowers floated gently towards the depths of the underworld.

It is the flower of life that has never appeared in the world after death. It is a gift to the only flower in the underworld.

In the depths that Li Ye could not know——

The goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal, quietly looked at the flowers floating towards her. Even though they were just fakes created by projection magic, they were colors that had never appeared in this world of death.

Although he had never talked to Li Ye, Ereshkigal seemed to understand what kind of person Li Ye was.
