Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 177 The Only Flower in the Underworld

"Hey, Ishtar, your days of flying around are over, hand over Maanna—"

As soon as he stepped into the temple, under the astonished gaze of the blonde goddess, Li Ye launched the first attack.

As the classic lines were spoken, Li Ye seemed to hear a meaningless drumbeat.

After being stunned, the blonde goddess chuckled and said, "You are really an interesting person. No wonder you dare to do such a thing to Ishtar."

Not only was Ishtar desecrated, but even those ephemeral flowers were offered in the underworld.

"Please forgive my impoliteness, but are you the goddess Ereshkigal or the goddess Ishtar?"

Li Ye stared at the blonde goddess on the jade throne.

The biggest difference between her and Ishtar is not the blonde hair, but the temperament that is everywhere.

Different from the carefree demon goddess Ishtar, the blonde goddess on the throne is truly a noble young lady, exuding a dignified temperament and cultivation.

How elegant it was before it failed.

"You know very well that when I wake up at night, I will be Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld.

How about it, are you scared? After all, she is the goddess of death."

Ereshkigal stood up from the throne and walked towards Liye.

Ereshkigal felt very uncomfortable talking to people while sitting high on the throne. This kind of thing really requires an equal dialogue.

That also requires the other party—

The only thing you can do is not to be afraid.

If it was this man, the human who had blasphemed Ishtar, would he fear death?
If Liye retreated at this point, Ereshkigal would not feel disappointed.

"I have embraced death three times. If it were the goddess of the underworld, I would definitely feel close to her."

Looking at Ereshkigal approaching, Li Ye seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of death, and even the dragon heart in his body began to become active.

After experiencing several deaths, the death information flowing from the soul has already permeated the dragon's heart, changing the composition of the dragon's blood from top to bottom.

"………Really?

Are you really not afraid of me? Aren't you afraid of me because I'm the goddess of the underworld?"

When hearing Li Ye's answer, the smile on Ereshkigal's face became as bright as a star, and the elegant temperament that Li Ye felt disappeared.

Seeing that smile, even Li Ye would be infected.

"No matter how you look at it, I don't hate Ereshkigal."

Not only did Ereshkigal deepen his understanding of Liye, but Liye also improved his understanding of Ereshkigal.

If a mythical being comes before you, then it is a living person or god.

"Eh——Is this so straightforward?
As expected of someone who blasphemed Ishtar."

Ereshkigal's cheeks flushed slightly, and his eyes suddenly drifted away: "No, we don't want to talk about this. Time is running out, so let's get straight to the point."

Before the topic got off track, Ereshkigal decisively brought it back on track.

At this time, Ereshkigal also walked in front of Li Ye, and tried to raise his head to look at Li Ye.

The petite Ereshkigal did not choose to use the power of Ishtar to enter the sky, but stood on the ground to talk to Liye.

"You have learned about the Three Goddesses Alliance and have decided to fight them.

So, what do you think of the Three Goddesses?"

Ereshkigal stared at Liye and asked slowly.

'What do you think of the Three Goddesses?'

As the contact deepened, Li Ye also had a deeper understanding of the alliance of the three goddesses. But when he was asked to answer, it was -

"Before you answer this question, can you tell me why you are fighting for this land?"

Before that, Liye wanted to know Ereshkigal's real purpose.

Embracing humanity with death is just an external manifestation; deeper thoughts and beliefs are the real focus.

And as Li Ye spoke.

Ereshkigal also smiled and said, “I cannot forgive the current Mesopotamia. I do not agree with humans who abandon the gods and want to create a world that belongs only to them.

There would only be pain, wouldn't it? Humans would be unable to escape the pain of living and the fear of death.

Human intelligence has grown too far, too far to accept reality as it is. "

Li Ye could fully understand the conviction in Ereshkigal's words. It was the firmness that only comes after one has made up his mind.

“But in the Age of Gods, this pain can be alleviated because there are things that humans cannot understand. People can blame the gods for their unreasonableness and cruelty, and live a carefree life.

I have always believed that this way of existence is good, and I have endured it for thousands and tens of thousands of years."

Ereshkigal's eyes were firm, and it was these tens of thousands of years of longing that supported her actions.

“So, I joined this alliance to transform the human world into a world of humans and gods!

I am not the enemy of humanity, but the enemy of the human world!

I will only tell you this, because it is the truth that only you who have come before me can know."

Tread.

Ereshkigal stepped back, but his eyes never moved away, still staring at Li Ye.

"That's it-"

Li Ye stared at Ereshkigal, and now Li Ye had the most intuitive understanding of Ereshkigal's purpose and motives.

Li Ye has only one opinion on this.

Unable to express his approval, Li Ye would not even give false praise.

This is wrong. Ignorant human wisdom cannot reach the future or open up the future.

Blaming the source of your own pain on the so-called gods is nothing but self-deception.

This conflicts with Li Ye's philosophy of continuous progress.

Therefore, Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, is also someone that Li Ye must deal with.

"You are a very kind goddess, Ereshkigal—"

Although he could not give his approval, Liye still admired Ereshkigal's inner heart, as a beautiful goddess who truly loved humans.

Unlike Ishtar, who looked like a demon goddess, Ereshkigal was simply a red angel from the underworld.

"Yes, really - thank you for the compliment!"

As if hit by Li Ye's straight ball, Ereshkigal shyly turned his eyes away: "I... that's all I want to say, let's stop here today!

Good night then! It's time for me to go to bed too!

You should also be careful not to stay up late! Don’t be like that workaholic who works even at night! "

Speaking out his true feelings seemed to make Ereshkigal feel extremely ashamed, and he even lost the desire to continue talking to Li Ye.

Directly issued an order to expel the guests.

And Li Ye did not force himself to stay in the temple, but just smiled and said: "Goddess Ereshkigal, next time we meet, I will give you the answer you want."
