Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 399: Saving Private Ereshkigal

Musashi, the flower of heaven that reached the Seat of Infinity, finally left.

Even Li Ye couldn't keep her.

With a slight sadness, Li Ye held the bowl of udon which still had half of it left, and recalled the unwilling look on Musashi's face when he ate half a bowl of udon after being revived with full health, only to find out that he was going to be kicked out of the world.

[Don’t do that~~ I haven’t finished eating yet!!]

The girl who was shouting like this was forced to start her next journey.

"It's miserable, miserable, miserable."

After finishing the remaining udon noodles and clearing the dishes, Li Ye stretched lazily and closed the door of the thatched hut.

Sengo Muramasa was unable to return from Toki Castle, and the arrangements for the Afu siblings were entrusted by Li Ye to the town of Toki Castle. Tamamonomae had not yet left, and Princess Matsudaira was rescued from Toki Castle.

But that is a matter for the future, let’s not talk about it for now.

The blue sky is pure and flawless, with no clouds in sight.

What comes to your face is a breath of freedom.

As an anomaly in this place, with the death of the world drifter Amakusa Shiro, Shimosa Province also returned to normal.

But there will not be any corrections like singularities, after all, this place is not even a singularity.

But to this world, Li Ye is an unwanted person just like Musashi.

If it weren't for the fact that the separate manifestation that Li Ye possessed could exist independently in any time and space, the result would have been the same as Musashi's, and he would have been kicked out after all the noodles were eaten.

Standing outside the thatched hut, Li Ye looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "What should I do now? Should I find a new job?"

As he said that, Li Ye stretched out his hand and grabbed Yuan that did not exist here.

The answer seemed to have been determined long ago.

The result was destined before meeting someone, or even earlier, after meeting someone.

But before Li Ye grasped that thread of fate, inexplicable hostility swept across time, space, and even the world.

It was like murderous intent roaring in from the world of death.

Hostility, that is the hostility from the god of the underworld.

The supreme power that was supposed to be stored up until Christmas to be discovered and activated was now being spied on by Li Ye.

hum.

Without even a moment's hesitation, Li Ye, who understood instantly, grasped that——

The thread of fate floats out from the underworld where endless murderous intent surges.

That is the testimony of man and God.

The ancient promise finally emerged at this moment——

It loosened its hold on itself, broke away from this lost history, and entered a new singularity with the help of that powerful destiny.

Perhaps it cannot be called a singularity yet.

The term singularity also refers to a distortion that occurs in human history, a major event that is enough to shake the foundation of human nature.

And this place is the other side of the human world. All the sufferings that happen in this tiny world will ultimately be borne by the lonely god who remains silent forever.

Tread.

It felt like just a moment of time had passed, and Li Ye's eyes were invaded by darkness.

In the gun prisons all over the mountains, faint soul fires fluttered silently.

The temperature of the atmosphere is dropping at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The fragrance of death was overwhelming, it was a world that I had not seen for a long time.

Li Ye was very familiar with the scene before him.

Even after several years, he will never forget it.

The Mesopotamian underworld is a world ruled by Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld.

In the distant future, after entering the human era, it will be upgraded to the underworld of the metaphysical world.

And it was this extremely familiar underground underworld that released astonishing hostility and murderous intent towards Li Ye, which was already aimed at Li Ye's power——

Stab, sting, sting.

Red lightning exploded at this moment, roaring across the underworld.

Sweeping in from all directions, they surrounded Li Ye!
‘! ’

The moment he stepped into the underworld, Li Ye sensed a huge repressive force, an absolute power that even the Supreme God could not escape!
That was a kind of suppression that Li Ye had never encountered during his second visit to the underworld in the past years.

The body and soul seemed to be burned and pierced by the red lightning of the underworld.

Although it was not on the scale of an attack on the God of Origin, it was still beyond the realm of human intelligence.

Li Ye, whose body was pierced by numerous lightning spears, did not fall down, but continued to stimulate magic power to heal his body.

But this suppression is not only reflected in the supply of the Red Thunder Spear, but more in the suppression of Li Ye's power——

Pffffffffffffft.

Horrifying blood flowers bloomed, and in less than a few seconds Li Ye became a bloody man. Fatal wounds kept appearing and healing on his body.

Li Ye, who didn't care about it at all, looked at the girl wandering in the mountains not far away.

"Eh?"

The hooded girl looked at the scene in front of her and subconsciously released the gun that contained the soul in her hand.

The gun cage filled with nameless souls rolled in the mountains, but no one cared.

"Hey, it's been a while since we last met, Ereshkigal."

Li Ye, whose face was burnt beyond recognition by the red lightning, chuckled and said, "Can you retract your magical power? It really hurts."

Since he came here to pursue the cause and effect, he naturally appeared in front of the real owner.

"Don't call me by my name!"

The goddess of the underworld came back to her senses with a surge of divinity, and she rebuked with an extremely noble face: "Watch your words and actions, visitor from another world!
Although I don’t know how you bypassed the gate to the underworld to get here, even if you want to go to the underworld, you must go through the formal procedures!

And now the underworld is redefining the law, I cannot allow you to go to the underworld this time.

If you are willing to return to the surface honestly, that's fine, but -

If you dare to disobey my orders, you must be prepared to accept the corresponding punishment! "

Even though this strange human didn’t show any fear when he saw me, he kept talking to me.

No, that's not right. I must be being too arbitrary. I have tried so many times in vain so far. Think about those things carefully!
I can't show my weakness, I have to show the dignity of a goddess.

Ereshkigal, who kept giving himself psychological advice, even clenched his fists, looking as if he was cheering himself up.

Looking at Ereshkigal who seemed to not recognize him, Li Ye raised his hand and pointed at himself who was still being attacked by the underworld, and said: "Can you put away your magical powers first?"

"Ah, sorry."

It seemed as if he had just noticed that Li Ye, who looked like a bloody man, was not like this at the beginning, but became like this after suffering an attack from the underworld.

Realizing this, Ereshkigal's cheeks turned slightly red, as if he was embarrassed by his mistake at work.

Ereshkigal immediately wielded his divine spear to release the underworld's autonomous suppression of Li Ye, and the red thunders dissipated immediately.

Only then did Li Ye breathe a sigh of relief, and then began to recover his wounded body.

The injury was secondary. The main problem was the power and strength suppressed by the underworld, which caused the recovery speed to decrease visibly.

If this continued, Li Ye really considered running away.

"Ahem, now let's get back to the topic!"

He put his fist to his mouth and coughed a few times, then said, "No matter what kind of weapon, what kind of power, what kind of authority, it is nothing but a drop of water in front of me.

Humans need not say much, even gods cannot disobey me, because——"

"In the underworld, Ereshkigal is invincible!"

Li Ye, who jumped down from the hill with a smile, spoke first: "I don't want to fight you in the underworld, Ereshkigal."

"Yes, because as long as I am in the underworld, I will use a force more powerful than any god—"

Ereshkigal nodded with a proud look on his face. When he was about to continue speaking, he stopped talking. He looked at Li Ye in surprise and said, "Uh, wait a minute, how do you know all this? And don't call me by my name without permission. We are not familiar with each other!"

"In fact, we have known each other for a long time, Ereshkigal—"

Li Ye clutched his chest tightly with a painful look on his face. He looked at the God of the Underworld with a heavy tone and said, "We obviously exchanged little secrets with each other."

The young man's words echoed in this underworld, containing sincere emotions.

"Eh?"

Seeing Li Ye's sincere eyes, Ereshkigal panicked and said, "No way? Are you serious about that look? No way?!"

Did I really exchange some little secret with him? !
Ereshkigal, who dared not even think about such a thing, suddenly felt as if the underworld was about to collapse.

I don't want any dark history that I can't even remember.

"Uh--"

Still in shock, Ereshkigal suddenly felt a headache coming on. He shook his head with a somewhat dejected look on his face, and said, "Although you are very rude... your eyes don't seem to lie - so... could it be that what I have forgotten now has something to do with you?"

That this human being knows himself is beyond doubt.

But Ereshkigal could not recall anything about this human being, so it could only be in the "forgotten" part.

In the memories that I have already given up and forgotten, there are traces of this human being.

That is not allowed.

Ereshkigal was about to say something when his heart was filled with emotion. A ghost in a cloak appeared not far away.

"Lord Ereshkigal, the time has come. Please return to the Abyss."

The figure that resembled the spirit of Garula uttered a deep voice: "If you do not perform the ritual in the abyss, the underworld will be destroyed."

"I see."

Ereshkigal looked at the silent human again and said, "You should be aware of the disparity in power. Leave here and return to the ground.

If you are a human who knows my body of a goddess, then I need to erase your existence to satisfy the transfer of the underworld—"

"Lord Ereshkigal, the Abyss Cave is about to close. Please hurry."

At the urging of the Garula spirit, Ereshkigal stepped into the Cave of the Abyss and left this level of the underworld.

Only Li Ye was left standing there.

Da da.

Shortly after Ereshkigal left, the golden sheep walked briskly in front of Liye.

"I am the Lost Sheep, my name is Dumuzi."

The Golden Sheep introduced itself in this way.
