Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 401 There is only one flower in the underworld

Looking up at the sky from underground, today seems to be the last day...

The goddess thought silently.

But——the smell of the soil, the fragrance of the flowers, the color of the wind, the height of the sky...

Everything that lingers in my memory is so vivid.

This is the appearance of the world that my past self once longed to know.

'Everything is just what I heard.'

The goddess, who was proud of everything she had, said proudly: "If only this, the underworld is not inferior at all. Most importantly, the ground is full of creatures, it's too unclean!
Instead, I learned that my underworld is hundreds of times quieter than there, and it is both spacious and clean!"

The goddess of the underworld comforted herself in this way.

But being with someone is an experience that can’t be erased.

That is a beautiful experience that even the goddess of the underworld would acknowledge.

But——the flowers that bloomed so beautifully have disappeared, and everything that could prove their connection has disappeared.

The goddess lamented as she thought back to the past and tried many times in the underworld to make the flowers bloom.

The result is very tragic. Even after thousands of years, not only will the flowers not bloom, but even the seeds will not germinate.

[No need to feel sad about it] [The underworld is a desolate place, not because of your incompetence]

The gazelle always said this to her, and she could only stare at the sky, holding back her tears.

[The underworld doesn’t need flowers at all]

[Because those are not necessary at all]

At that time, she would still stubbornly answer: [I don’t want flowers. If they really bloom in this dark land, it would be pitiful——]

Gurgling.

Immersed in the abyss.

I abandoned the "me" who was reborn through this body.

……It’s so strange. Normally, she would cry out of loneliness, but now she is smiling unbelievably.

When I thought that this would be the end, the corners of my lips couldn't help but rise.

I used to be lonely, but now I am smiling happily.

Goodbye, memories of the surface.

Thank you for the first friends I made and for the wonderful exchanges.

Gurgling.

If I could look up at the stars in the night sky again, would I still be able to hear your story?

Ah, but——

By then, I will no longer be the same person I am now.

-

Tread.

Li Ye, who was walking alone in the underworld, looked calm and was prepared for what was to come.

Li Ye could only feel a little sad for the goddess of the underworld who chose to bear it alone.

If I am not mistaken, Ereshkigal's power has already been directed towards Chaldea.

After all, in order to destroy himself, he must destroy all the records that maintain the spiritual base. It is not enough to just destroy Li Ye, he must also destroy Chaldea.

It originally needed time to accumulate energy, but it was released early because of Li Ye's arrival.

Not knowing whether Chaldea had transferred Fujimaru Ritsuka, Li Ye, who had no extra time to wait, chose to resolve everything before that.

And it was just as Li Ye expected.

After Liye had foreseen the hostility from the underworld and came to this underground underworld, Ereshkigal directed his power to the distant other side, the human survival guarantee agency called Chaldea.

What bloomed in Chaldea at this time was something called plague.

No matter whether they are servants or humans, they cannot escape.

In this plague called death, all life will weaken and die, and the deadline is -

Seven days.

"Really——"

Arriving at the final gate to the underworld, Li Ye did not see the powerful enemy that Merlin had mentioned, and not a single servant reacted.

Li Ye, who didn't care about this, decisively crossed the gate to the underworld and arrived at the abyss.

It was a void world with nothing but fresh water.

Although ripples may appear on the surface of the water, one cannot sink into it.

Realizing this, Li Ye understood that as a living being, he could not dive into the abyss and find Ereshkigal immersed in it without a guide.

"Do you think that without the guidance of a guide, the living can sink to the bottom of the abyss?"

A familiar voice sounded, it was the spirit of Galula named Nergal: "Now that we have lost the god Enki, the bottom of the abyss is not the origin, but nothingness. Sinking into this sea means that the soul returns to nothingness.

Human beings with flesh and blood cannot dissolve in the sea, but they also cannot fly in the sky."

"You're not coming out?"

Li Ye looked around calmly. Although he could hear Nergal's voice, he couldn't see him.

As if afraid of something.

In the previous battle, Li Ye had successfully eliminated Nergal once.

Although he did not use the Mystic Death Perception Eyes, this was the underworld after all, and everything he saw was death. In addition, Nergal's connection with the underworld meant that Li Ye could not observe death from it.

But under Li Ye's magic sword, Nergal was still destroyed.

But the current situation also shows that Nergal has not been completely destroyed, or cannot be destroyed.

"It's useless. We are the evil that has taken root in the underworld, and we are the voice that longs for a new underworld."

Nergal, who still hadn't appeared, said, "We can't be killed. Only the Lord of the Underworld can suppress us!"

"whispering sound."

Li Ye curled his lips and ignored Nergal who seemed to be hiding like a coward and afraid to see anyone.

Li Ye has already roughly understood the remaining malice of this so-called god.

Even if it cannot be destroyed, it will not have any impact on Li Ye.

Now all Li Ye needs to focus on is the impact caused by the underworld.

If the time stays too long, Li Ye's destiny force will be exhausted, and that will be the big problem.

Even Li Ye was helpless in doing anything to damage the power of destiny and was unable to resist the flow of this invisible thing.

At that time, Li Ye can only leave the abyss by leaving this world.

Just as Li Ye was thinking about how to dive into the abyss of fresh water——

Doodle.

The communication device that had not been turned on for a long time suddenly lit up, and the person who appeared on the screen was not someone else, but the golden king——

"Yo, Lee Ye, even though it looks like there's a lot that needs to be said, now's not the time to talk about anything else."

He was not a tyrant in his youth, but a wise king in his old age.

"King Gilgamesh, oh yes, you have been to the underworld before, and you even obtained the immortality herb from the abyss. You must know how to go down like this, right?"

Li Ye reacted and smiled, "Almighty King Gilgamesh, tell me the solution."

"Hmph, if you want to dive into the abyss of fresh water, you need to carry weight. When you came here, you saw things like the Sand of the Underworld, right?"

Gilgamesh snorted coldly, and even though he looked exhausted, he still said quickly: "Anyway, we need the sand of the underworld, so you can figure it out yourself.

Also, Chaldea was attacked by Ereshkigal and could probably hold out for seven days.

One more thing, Ereshkigal will not be able to survive until the seventh day. She will be destroyed before Chaldea is destroyed."

Doodle.

As if he had reached his limit, Gilgamesh hurriedly disconnected after leaving a few words.

When Li Ye learned that Chaldea was attacked, he just raised his eyebrows slightly. The information about Chaldea's death time and Ereshkigal's destruction first was certainly surprising, but it could not disrupt Li Ye's current thoughts.

Li Ye immediately shifted his mind away and did not dwell on this issue for long.

The focus now is to dive into the deep fresh water below.

As for the sand of the underworld mentioned by Gilgamesh, Li Ye thought for a moment and came up with an answer: "The sand of the underworld, it's not bad. I have observed the sand."

As he spoke, Li Ye raised his hand and activated the fantasy materialization.

Vision materialization, as the name suggests, is the ability to make dreams come true.

It is to interfere with the probability of occurrence of many events and force things that are originally impossible to happen to happen.

Its principle can be said to be [probability theory].

It can also be explained by the marble phenomenon, which refers to the phenomenon that when you put the same number of black and white marbles in a bottle and stir them, they do not separate neatly into black and white like a checkered flag or a chessboard, but instead fall to either side.

Regardless, under the natural law that [black and white each have a 50% chance of appearing], situations like the marble phenomenon may occur, making people suspect that someone is meddling.

Well, if we could interfere with probability, then even materializing things like the sand of the underworld might not be too far-fetched.

Since this is the underworld, there is a chance that underworld sand will appear even in the abyss.

hum.

Under Li Ye's deliberate guidance, something called Sand of the Underworld appeared in his hand.

The amount is not large, but it has extraordinary meaning in this underworld.

Grasping the thing called the Sand of the Underworld, Li Ye took a step forward and fell into the abyss.

Gurgling.

No longer an unsinkable feather, the deep fresh water began to cover the ankles, knees, waist, and chest, until it swallowed Li Ye whole.

Boundless darkness began to invade the horizon.

It's not just the obstruction of vision, but more importantly the power of the fresh water is also destroying Li Ye's body.

Although the sand of the underworld can allow Li Ye to dive into fresh water as a living person, it cannot provide corresponding protection.

Realizing this, Li Ye did not hesitate and continued to dive down.

After dozens of minutes, as the diving depth increased, the pressure exerted on Li Ye became more and more terrifying.

But after hearing those familiar words, Li Ye was sure that all this was not in vain.

"It's surprising that there are humans who would ignore my advice and come to a place like this."

The invisible goddess of the underworld said so.

On this seabed full of fresh water, the line of sight was completely blocked. Even Li Ye's perception could not spread as it was diluted and blocked by the [fresh water].

As a result, only the goddess of the underworld was looking at Li Ye one-sidedly.

Although he could not see the goddess, Liye still said against the sea water: "I am here to find you, Ereshkigal."

The young man's words did not contain much intense emotion, as if they were just casual daily chats.

But it was this ease and rudeness that seemed to have angered the goddess of the underworld.

"This is the third time you have called my name. Just for this reason alone, you should be sentenced to death."

The noble words of God reached Li Ye's ears through the fresh water.

She is the angry goddess of the underworld, her power is as powerful as hell and her might is as majestic as a ghost.

In this underworld, the mistress of the underworld is the absolute authority.

There is no need to elaborate on this point. After all, Li Ye has seen and even experienced this authority with his own eyes.

But the goddess did not rebuke or even punish her, but changed the subject: ".Alas, no matter what the reason, I always respect those who can reach the bottom of the abyss.

Before I put this gun through you, let me ask you this out of understanding.

What on earth are humans doing here, and why are they appearing before me? "

Even knowing this now, the mistress of the underworld still maintains her own principles.

Those who have courage deserve respect.

Even if it offends the power of God, it can be allowed to exist for a short time.

Faced with the hostess's questioning, Li Ye, with a calm expression, did not hesitate.

Although this incident happened suddenly, after realizing it was because of Ereshkigal, Liye did not hesitate and transferred to the underworld.

During his encounter with Dumuzid, Merlin and others, Liye also successfully learned about Ereshkigal's current situation.

Regarding this goddess who chose to bear everything, there was only one thought in Li Ye's mind.

You have to be rescued.

It has nothing to do with other emotions, it just has to be saved.

There was no reason at all, not even any pity was shown. It was just that Li Ye could not give up and had to save the person.

"Of course I came to see you, Ereshkigal."

Li Ye smiled and said, "It feels like we haven't seen each other for a while, right?"

"I see, but—

Even if it becomes like this, can you still call my name so easily? "

After hearing Li Ye's answer, the mistress of the underworld holding the magic gun silently revealed her true form.

Even in this dark abyss of fresh water, the figure can be seen clearly.

It is not much different from the goddess' son who possessed Toosaka Rin in the past memory. The only change is perhaps the decay.

What was once a beautiful face of a young girl is now completely rotten. The rotten flesh has not yet fallen to the bones, but the horrifying appearance of the bones can already be seen.

Not only the face, but almost all of the body had rotten parts, like a walking corpse.

That is the opposite half of Ishtar, the goddess of beauty.

"It was dissolved by fresh water..."

Li Ye immediately understood where the decay of Ereshkigal came from. It was the result of being dissolved by the fresh water in the abyss.

Seeing that Li Ye did not react much, the goddess of the underworld continued: "I don't know you, and I have no memory of fighting alongside you.

I heard about Chaldea and you from Nergal, and as long as you exist, I cannot destroy you."

Silent majesty spread out, which was something Li Ye had rarely seen, the majesty of God.

Ereshkigal said slowly: "This is troublesome. I am gradually losing my power and cannot rule the underworld. I have no hatred or grudge against you, but for the sake of the underworld, I have no choice but to make you disappear."

Not only Chaldea, but Liye was also targeted for destruction.

But because Li Ye was not in this world before, even the underworld could not find him.

But when Li Ye tried to return, hostility from the underworld swept in.

"Then you're going to die anyway, aren't you?"

Knowing from Gilgamesh that Ereshkigal would die before Chaldea was destroyed, and considering Ereshkigal's current self-narration, Li Ye could not hide his curiosity and asked, "Then why do you still plan to destroy Chaldea? Even if you don't destroy Chaldea, won't the result be the same?"

"No, I feel threatened by the people who put me into this state. Whether I exist or not, Chaldea and you are dangerous. In this case, as the Lord of the Underworld, you should fulfill your responsibilities."

The God of the Underworld, who never gave up his duties, said, "I will settle my sins before I disappear. You will also sort out your affairs before you die, right? Like those people, I plan to use up the last of my strength for the Underworld and disappear."

That was a pure and innocent soul that Li Ye could never reach.

The lonely goddess is not alone, but stands at the end of everything, guarding the end.

Unable to be contacted by the living and unable to communicate with the dead, the goddess who bears everything is naturally called aloof.

"So the premise is that you have to disappear?"

Li Ye could not accept this silent sacrifice and asked, "Even if I die, I will destroy Chaldea?"

"this--"

Ereshkigal paused for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, his body suddenly froze.

An unknown voice sounded from her body.

[Thank you for your hard work until now. I will inherit the next work. ]

[This underworld is the final residence of the gods after their decline and disappearance. It is a mysterious darkness that cannot be reached by human minds.]

[If you really want the underworld to continue, then follow my instructions. Then, the underworld will become a world of suffering for the dead.

It has turned into a paradise of horror, a world of death, dust, maggots, and plague! 】

There was no mistaking that voice; it was the hateful remnant of the god named Nergal.

'It's really everywhere.'

But being inside Ereshkigal's body—

In less than a breath, Li Ye got the answer.

Li Ye then said: "It is the power of Nergal that Ereshkigal obtained. Nergal, who lost to Ereshkigal in the underworld, left hatred in the underworld, which is resentment.

And you all began to become active because of Ereshkigal's weakening. The remnant of Nergal she possessed, that is, the shell that relied on Nergal's power to gain form. In simple terms, you are the spirit of the god Nergal, right?

This is all based on the premise that Ereshkigal is weakened. If Ereshkigal had not been weakened, there wouldn’t be two kings in the underworld. "

Ereshkigal obtained Nergal's power, but it seems that this power does not completely belong to Ereshkigal.

Problems arise when the balance starts to tip.

[Yes, the good Galula spirit is Ereshkigal, and the evil Galula spirit is me.

Both are what the underworld looks like, and both show the future of the underworld.

The good and evil of God is beyond the measure of you humans, and a good choice may also destroy the world. 】

[Come on, Ereshkigal, now is the time for you to fulfill your duty, kill him, and disappear completely.]

It was like the whisper of a devil. Ereshkigal, whose face and expression could not be seen clearly, was silent for a moment and then said, "I am not the Ereshkigal you know. I am the mistress of the underworld who has lost her power. Those who have lost their power should leave. Before that, they must settle their mistakes.

Knight from a distant foreign land, I have witnessed your joyful descent into the underworld, but you are a being that disturbs the underworld, and I will personally judge you—"

That was a declaration from the Lord of the Underworld, and the divine power that burst out immediately reached its peak, which was vast and boundless.

Even this abyss seemed to be boiling in an instant!

The terrifying red lightning roared in the fresh water, and lightning spears that were comparable to treasures whizzed towards him, as if they were going to pierce Li Ye alive!
hum.

Almost at the same time, the aurora rose up and surrounded Li Ye, instantly distorting the fresh water and all the attacking lightning spears, deflecting the attacks while cutting off the lightning spears!

But this is just a drop in the bucket. Now Li Ye is facing Ereshkigal, who is invincible in the underworld!
You know, even the God of Origin Tiamat can only choose to erode the underworld to weaken Ereshkigal, and cannot directly cut off its firepower attack!

Naturally, Nergal saw this scene. The frustration he had been feeling along the way seemed to be finally released at this moment. He couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Hahahaha, now you know, you had no chance of winning from the very beginning!
In this underworld, there is no one who can defeat Ereshkigal!
Really——You have been taught so many lessons, but you still don’t stop going to the underworld. How stupid are you? Is your head filled with wheat?】

Laughter filled with sarcasm rang in my ears.

In response, Ereshkigal stopped attacking and said, “I’m sorry, please allow me to apologize for Nergal’s outrageous words, but it’s understandable that he would think so, because you are too brave but not wise.

I ask you again, why did you come here?

To save Chaldea from the Sumerian fever? Or to avoid his own death?"

Say it.

Give a different answer.

The goddess hoped so.

But reality will not be as she wishes, and the young man's words echo in the darkness.

"Come to see you, Ereshkigal."

Li Ye's answer has not changed, he has only one purpose.

The plain words contained an unchangeable will. The mistress of the underworld, who understood this, whispered softly: "I am very grateful that you want to save me. I feel very sorry for you, but - but, this is helpless. I am not qualified to accept your kindness.

Because I have abandoned it with my own hands, I have lost that [important reason]——"

This is something that cannot be forgiven. It’s not that others cannot forgive it, but that you yourself cannot forgive it.

This is an absolutely unforgivable sin—

"The reason——"

Hearing Ereshkigal's whisper, Liye also understood Dumuzi's intention.

smiled.

Then he took out the thing he had obtained not long ago, which was a green fruit cut from a young girl.

At the moment when Liye took out the object, the remnant named Nergal instantly understood its true meaning: "Half of Ereshkigal? Impossible, who on earth put such a thing——!
Forget it, kill him, Ereshkigal, we can’t tolerate this human being to continue to speak nonsense! "

We must not allow that thing to return to Ereshkigal's body.

If that happens, all this will be in vain!
but--

Ereshkigal did not listen to Nergal's words, but stared blankly at the halo in Liye's hand, a sparkling and extremely gorgeous thing.

Ereshkigal stammered, "But—well, I—am very interested."

what is that?
Just by looking at it, Ereshkigal's heart seemed to be beating faster.

But this answer was not what Nergal was happy to hear: "That's enough, give me your body and I will kill him myself!"

This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!
Just as Nergal was trying to take over Ereshkigal's body and deal a devastating blow to Liye—

The golden light flickered in the deep fresh water, and even the darkness was dispelled.

"That won't work. The goods must be signed for by the person himself."

The golden sheep standing in front of Li Ye said calmly: "It is my job to collect Ereshkigal's memories and keep them safe. The packaging fee will be included for free."

Seeing Dumuzi appear, Li Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.

I feel like I am the one giving gifts.

The reason why Dumuzi didn't choose a son to deliver himself was probably because of Nergal.

Just as Li Ye expected, after seeing Dumuzi, Nergal's exasperated voice rang out: "You fellow - are you the goat god Dumuzi?! No wonder I was wondering why I didn't see you for so long. What did you do this time?"

"Although I don't really want to listen to your nonsense, I don't get along well with that bastard cow, but the important thing is that you are young, it's a pity that you can get here, leave the rest to me."

Dumuzi shouted: "Terrible Ereshkigal!"

"Eh?"

Frightened by Dumuzi's attitude and tone, Ereshkigal subconsciously froze where he was, staring blankly at Dumuzi.

"Come, now is the time for you to regain your original appearance. The power of Nergal that you once obtained -

The light of the sun will awaken now, right now, at this moment."

Dumuzi, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, said: "Because don't you think it is feasible now.

If this memory is irreplaceable to you, then you will definitely shine.

Noble goddess of the underworld, you once did not know what the sun was, what shining things were, and you were not clear about your own aspirations.

Meh, but maybe you can do it now."

Having said that, Li Ye let go of the halo in his hand, and the unripe fruit returned to the heart of its original owner as it should at this moment.

That was an unprecedented shock to Ereshkigal.

The body, the spirit, and even the divinity were all shaken.

For a certain goddess, this youthful memory may be an extremely precious time in her long life.

The one who reacted most to this memory was Nergal, who tried to obtain Ereshkigal's body.

"Damn it! What is this? The memory is getting stronger than before?!"

Nergal, who was beginning to waver, soon found the answer and could not help but scold: "How could something that would shatter if left alone actually become stronger? You actually used the [Water of Life] for something like this—"

Memories alone could not do this, so Nergal discovered the accessories that Dumuzid had added to the packaged memories.

It is a mystery that even the gods can influence.

"Dumuzi! Whose side are you on?! We are both gods of the underworld and we are both sitting on the bench!"

Nergal, who was puzzled and angry about this, roared: "Have you forgotten the humiliation and anger we felt when we were bullied by Ishtar and Ereshkigal?"

Years of frustration and anger erupted at this moment.

But facing the anger of his comrades, the Golden Sheep Dumuzi said calmly: "Oh, it's dangerous, it's better to turn into a snake and run away as soon as possible."

Having said that, Dumuzi, who had just appeared, decisively left the seabed and rushed upwards.

"Dumuz!!!!"

Amid the roar of boundless sorrow and anger, the divine spear burst into astonishing brilliance.

"Oooooohhhh!!! We're being-stripped? This radiance is-!"

Nergal, who was originally inside Ereshkigal's body, was covered by boundless light, and her tone was unable to hide her shock.

Then there was the energetic reply of a certain goddess: "Yes, you guessed it right, I am back to my original state!"

Ereshkigal shouted, "And this radiance is the heat of the sun. I named it this way to show my respect for you!

The sun of the underworld, a witness to the peace that warms the wilderness!
Fever Temple, Kigal-Meslamthea!"

Ereshkigal, who was full of energy, suddenly became hesitant after noticing someone: "And that, and... about the humans over there!"

“Guns are cool.”

Li Ye smiled and said, "It is indeed Ereshkigal's gun."

As Li Ye spoke, Ereshkigal's shyness suddenly disappeared, and he even couldn't help complaining.

"Wait, that's not it, you're just a machine that says whatever you want to say, ahem, of course, I also feel that I'm stronger than before.

But now is not the time to talk about that, even though I am very excited, something has to be done.”

As he said this, Ereshkigal turned his head and looked at Nergal, who had been completely stripped away, and the remaining malice that now existed in the form of the Garula spirit.

“Damn it, you actually stripped me away, are you planning to abandon your duties, Ereshkigal?

Are you still planning to cling to your shameful spiritual base? "

Nergal, who could not accept this ending, roared: "Do you think you will be free if you leave the underworld?

Do you think you can go to the surface by abandoning the underworld?
This kind of thing is not allowed! All the resentment in the vortex of the underworld will not allow it. You will make the underworld reborn through your disappearance!"

Hatred, anger, and boundless rage burning in my heart.

Nergal could not accept this ending.

"Don't make any mistake, Lord Nergal!
I did not abandon this spiritual base, but - I did not stay here for myself, I stayed here to protect the underworld!"

Hearing Nergal’s roar, Ereshkigal, with golden eyes, shouted with divine power like a prison, “After hearing your strategy just now, I realized my mistake.

My mistake was not breaking the oath to the goddess, but I was foolish enough to intend to hand over the underworld to you!"

From Ereshkigal's perspective now, that was a stupid choice.

I actually made a stupid decision that harmed others.

“I can’t give the underworld to you because you just want the underworld as a place to stay.

You just want a world where you can show your majesty. How could I hand over the underworld to such a god!
This is the kingdom of souls after death, a place of silence that protects the nostalgia for life! "

Ereshkigal, holding the Fever Temple, issued a death declaration: "I will not show mercy to anyone who dares to invade the peaceful land, even if they are gods!
I am the mistress of the underworld, the Ereshkigal of the underworld!
I will stake my name on this and completely eliminate the remaining malice of the god Nergal!"

The subsequent battle is very simple.

The stripped Nergal was a veritable remnant to Ereshkigal, and could be wiped out at will.

Gurgling.

The fresh water was rippled, and Ereshkigal jumped out of it with a blushing face. He looked at Li Ye who was drying clothes not far away, and hesitantly said:
"You can swim up by your own power, which is impressive."

"I want to fly away like Dumuzi did. Isn't he a sheep? How can he move at Mach speed on the seabed?"

Li Ye, who was drying clothes, looked confused. He tilted his head and looked at the golden sheep not far away. This guy's speed plus the effect of the underworld made him come and go without a trace.

"Uh, is Dumuzi really here?"

Ereshkigal, who noticed the golden sheep, blinked and said in shock, "I am not seeing things."

"Looks pretty energetic."

Li Ye stretched lazily, staring at Ereshkigal and said with a smile: "Hmm, how do you say it, good luck comes with a smile?"

"That's true. There's not enough time left."

Dumuzi said: "I originally planned to go to Chaldea to seek help, but this gentleman came here in advance, so I just need to align the timeline with Chaldea and this gentleman, and then match them.

Once the date changes, this gentleman will probably return to his own time. If he continues to stay in the underworld, Mr. Li Ye will not be able to leave. "

"Is—is that so?"

Ereshkigal asked in horror, "Wait a minute, what time is it now? 20:43 - is there still time?"

"Of course."

Dumuzi said as a matter of course: "You can only enjoy a feast once every few hours."

"It's a feast. Do you want some mutton?"

Li Ye, who was rubbing his hands, stared at Dumuzi, turned his head and looked at Ereshkigal and smiled: "This is probably the last time we meet this year. The previous memory can't be considered a gift. In terms of time, I need a Christmas present."

"Eh?"

Unable to follow Li Ye's thoughts, Ereshkigal just stared blankly at Li Ye walking towards him and holding his hand.

“Eh hey hey hey???”

Ereshkigal's cheeks flushed instantly as he immediately recalled the physical contact he had felt through Ishtar's synchronized contact.

A blush appeared on her fair face, but despite this, she did not think of breaking free from someone's hand.

hum.

Li Ye held the goddess' hand and released his own dream with a smile.

That is the miracle called human rights, a dream that blossoms from the existence of humans who distort the world.

The pure white dream of stars soars up from the abyss to the top of the underworld.

Starting from Liye and Ereshkigal, the pure white sea of ​​flowers covered the entire abyss freshwater and even continued to climb upwards.

The sea of ​​flowers sways, setting off the only flower of the underworld.

Ereshkigal once tried to grow flowers in the underworld, but ultimately failed. Flowers are not needed in the underworld.

But for Li Ye, there is only one flower in the underworld.

"Merry Christmas, Ereshkigal."
