Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 205 Good Evening, Goddess of the Underworld
"You are so rude!"

Filled with shame and indignation, Ereshkigal stared at Li Ye with a blushing face.

“Actually, this is an illusion, do you believe it?
The goddess Ereshkigal."

Li Ye smiled awkwardly and naturally removed the several [Chains of Heaven].

Then he reached out his hand and helped Ereshkigal to get up from the ground.

'...'

He saw Li Ye naturally stretch out his hand, trying to help him up.

Ereshkigal, whose face was still red, was slightly startled, and hesitantly gave up the idea of ​​getting up.

Then she stretched out her slender hand tremblingly, placed it on Li Ye's arm, and used it to stand up from the ground.

With the blush still on her face, Ereshkigal tidied up her messy appearance, clenched her fist and placed it to her mouth, and coughed softly: "Ahem, you were able to defeat Ishtar, which shows that you are a hero—"

Ereshkigal brushed aside the embarrassing scene in his words, as if it had never happened.

Li Ye was quite happy about this, but he just hoped that Ishtar would forget all her troubles after waking up from her baby-like sleep.

It would be best to forget about the destruction of the temple as well.

"Thank you for the compliment, Goddess Ereshkigal. It seems that my rating is very high."

Putting aside the worries about Ishtar, Li Ye smiled faintly: "I gained a lot from chatting with you last night. I can't forget it."

With the support of the earth veins, Li Ye now has enough confidence to speak.

Although he cannot be compared with Ereshkigal, who rules the underworld, Li Ye at least will not die so easily. His powerful vitality makes the current Li Ye worthy of being called a strong man.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Li Ye's straightforward words made Ereshkigal feel a little uncomfortable, and he subconsciously pinched a few strands of golden hair and kept stroking them: "Actually, it's nothing very important.

But it seems that you have listened carefully to the goddess's teachings!"

Thinking of this, Ereshkigal smiled faintly: "My good intentions have paid off!"

"Good intentions, huh?"

Hearing this, Li Ye's smile became even more intense: "That's right."

"You look good today. Did you eat well?"

After getting over the initial embarrassment, Ereshkigal, the goddess who lived in the underworld all year round, smiled and said, "You must eat well. People on earth suffer from various diseases and pains because they do not eat regularly."

At this time, Ereshkigal was like a girl next door, talking to Liye very naturally.

Facing Ereshkigal, Liye also relaxed.

This goddess is unexpectedly approachable, which is a completely different experience from Sanzang, Shan Zhiweng and others.

The gentle words are filled with care from the heart.

"I do have a good meal. After all, my appetite is as big as my king's!"

Speaking of appetite, Li Ye couldn't help laughing.

Due to the changes brought about by the blood of the red dragon, Li Ye's demand for food has also increased sharply, which is completely comparable to Altria's super appetite.

"Your king, can you tell me about it?"

When Ereshkigal heard Liye mention his king, he showed curiosity. By now, Ereshkigal was sure that Liye was not from Uruk, and his king was not King Gilgamesh, but a traveler from a foreign land.

It must have taken a lot of stories to get here, right?
As the god who often lives in the underworld, he feels genuine curiosity and anticipation for unknown stories.

"My king——"

Hearing this, Li Ye recalled the figure of the Lion King, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "That's a very good story, right -"

Then, Li Ye told the only story of his own experience, the only story that could prove his existence.

"Throwing a pyramid from the sky! That guy must be a pretty idiotic Heroic Spirit! I understand, he must be a fool on the same level as King Gilgamesh!"

When Ereshkigal heard Osmandis's story, his eyes sparkled, as if his whole body was glowing: "I actually have a good impression of that person called Nitocris, because a Heroic Spirit who cherishes the dead must be a Heroic Spirit who can clearly distinguish right from wrong!"

"Ah - but I won't show any respect to the heroic spirits carrying skeletons. It looks painful to carry skeletons alive!"

Thinking of the old men in the mountains, Ereshkigal suddenly showed an expression of fear and confusion, and his whole face wrinkled, but soon relaxed: "Master of Chaldea, the stars in a foreign land -

There must have been many stories and adventures!"

After hearing the story of Fujimaru Ritsuka and others from Li Ye, Ereshkigal was so excited that he almost glowed.

"If it were Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, they would definitely be able to tell you more stories."

Seeing Ereshkigal so happy, Liye said with emotion: "And this is the only story I can tell you."

Ereshkigal shook his head, and the excitement on his face disappeared immediately: "Those Knights of the Round Table, your fellow knights -

It is all very painful, this is the pain caused by the excessive growth of human intelligence. "

If the heroic spirits of Osmandis brought novel surprises to Ereshkigal, then Gawain and Mordred brought deep pain.

Just as Ereshkigal concluded after wandering for tens of thousands of years, the suffering of mankind is caused by the overgrowth of intellect. If we give up this intellect and inflict all the suffering on God, we will find peace of mind.

"No, this pain is the root of human progress. Only desire can make humans move forward, and desire is the root of pain."

Li Ye, who had a different opinion from Ereshkigal, shook his head and smiled freely: "Ereshkigal, I choose to move on, what about you?"

'...'

Hearing this, Ereshkigal was stunned, staring blankly at Li Ye's heroic face.

It was only at this moment that Ereshkigal seemed to realize that Liye was different from her.

It is the denial of belief.

Li Ye would not agree with her persistence of tens of thousands of years, and would only coldly break this tiny dream.

----

After Ereshkigal issued an order to expel him, Liye left the Ebifu Mountains on a sky boat.

Although the night conversation brought Liye and Ereshkigal closer, the quiet atmosphere was broken by Liye's last words.

Recalling Ereshkigal's last look, Li Ye touched his chin in distress, wondering if he should be more tactful.

Just as Li Ye was struggling, two figures falling from the sky caught his attention.

“That is——”
