In the world [D-31], the gray-black color of death continued to spread, but suddenly stopped. No matter what, it could not expand forward any further.

[Life is not enough]

The expansion of death is not wanton. If there is no life, death will not exist either. The giant tree formed by several trees of life gathered together can only expand to this extent.

To go further, more trees of life are needed to provide the life consumed by the expansion of death, or other things that have as strong vitality as the trees of life.

In the deepest part of the giant spiral tree formed by the interweaving of the Tree of Life, a woman shrouded in a black robe and sitting on a throne made of dark trees raised her hand, and her finger, which was filled with faint black smoke, pointed into the distance.

[It’s time to plunder life]

Chapter 1438: The Power of the Star Hunting Bow

"Ereshkigal? That's a long name, almost as long as the Underworld Gods."

Blaze repeated the name, and the fog surrounding the Death Scorpio finally dissipated a little. He learned the true name of the God of Death.

Fortunately, he knew more than just the name.

Ishtar and Ereshkigal in front of us are sisters.

Not only that, Ishtar claims to be the origin of the Golden Sea of ​​Trees. The Tree of Life is the product of the split of her power and authority, and Ereshkigal is the black golden sea of ​​trees formed by the gathering of anti-Trees of Life. The relationship between the two is extremely close.

The focus now is to determine how much power Ereshkigal, the Scorpion, the God of Death, possesses.

"Is Ereshkigal in the same condition as you, unable to use her power?"

"No, her situation is different from mine. She doesn't need to split her strength and power. As long as she is in the underworld, Kul, she has infinite power. Now the black gold forest you mentioned is probably following her orders, constantly transforming the earth into the underworld and expanding her range of activities." Ishtar said in a flat tone, her fingers twirling around the ends of her black hair.

"I heard that the World Tree also has a mistress of the underworld, so the situation should be similar. However, transforming the earth into the underworld requires a large amount of life. Ordinary life is useless. It must be at least a super high-level monster, or a tree of life or something like that."

"Although I don't know how many life trees have left the Golden Sea of ​​Trees and become anti-life trees, it is definitely not enough for her to expand on a large scale. I'm afraid that they will be consumed soon, and her invasion will begin."

Blaze's expression became serious. This was not good news.

He never considered fighting Hela in Helheim, because unless Helheim was destroyed, Hela in Helheim would be invincible.

This is the absolute power gained at the cost of freedom.

But on the other hand, Ereshkigal is also quite easy to deal with. As long as we continue to eliminate the Underworld Kul and shrink the range of the Underworld Kul, we can trap the hostess.

In order to accomplish this, it is particularly important to resist the first round of attacks from the Black Gold Tree Sea. As long as they can hold on and make the Black Gold Tree Sea lack expendable life to expand, then they can launch a counterattack and reduce the Underworld Kul.

"I think the golden sea of ​​trees is the main target of attack."

"The Golden Forest will of course be the main target of attack, not only because whoever gets the Golden Forest will have enough power to turn the entire world into the underworld, but also because she knows I'm here, and I'm the one she hates the most." There was no sign of tension on Ishtar's face, and that kind of weak emotion didn't seem to be something she had in common with.

As Ishtar finished her words, the entire space began to shake, and the constellations in the night dome began to flicker.

"Ah~ I can't wait." Ishtar was not nervous at all. She even smiled and her ruby ​​earrings swayed.

Blaze was not as calm as Ishtar. He had to go to support immediately. He slapped the head of the three-star white tiger hard.

"Hand over the belt now!"

The three-star white tiger let out a dull sound of grievance, and its entire body gradually became illusory, leaving only the three stars on its forehead that formed the word "King". A belt fell into Blaze's hands.

【Three Star Belt/World Class】

[Only star hunters can wear this belt. The three shining stars on the waist are proof of hunting the white beast in the sky.]

"It really doesn't need to be eliminated."

There must be something wrong with the common sense. If the opponent in the final challenge is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, it is usually possible to get the clearance reward without fighting, and the reward obtained without fighting may be even better.

Blaze immediately put on the three-star belt around his waist, and without even checking to see if it had any effect, he shouted to Ishtar, "Let me out first. I have to go and defend against the invasion of the black gold forest."

Ishtar waved her hand, and a huge crack immediately opened up behind her, revealing the golden sea of ​​trees.

This time it was not an illusory spiritual space, but the real world inside the Tree of Life. Blaze immediately rushed to the crack, closed his eyes, and the [Seal of Saint Longinus] pointed out the source of the restlessness in the golden sea of ​​trees.

It was the north. Blaze looked over there. His field of vision was expanded after he put on the three-star belt. As long as he concentrated, he could see where the conflict broke out in the distance.

On the land full of vitality, a touch of black and gray appeared, and countless tree roots were spreading outward with the black and gray spot as the center.

But the strangers around reacted quickly, as if they had known what to do for a long time. They skillfully dug up the earth, summoned the water, and used the flowing river water to form a surrounding black and gray environment.

The tree roots, which were spreading very quickly, stopped in an instant, as if they were afraid of the flowing water.

"So that's how it is. Those are the undead spirits of plants, so they are restrained by water." Blaze took out the Star Hunting Bow from the warehouse and pulled the bowstring very easily. An arrow of light was generated as the bowstring was pulled.

The control of the water flow over the plant spirits is only temporary. The plant spirits can drill deeper underground, or entangle and rise up. There are many ways to invade the golden forest without touching the water flow.

Sure enough, the moment the water flow blocked the gray tree roots, they entangled themselves like a hand, trying to cross the water flow directly.

Blaze loosened his fingers, and the bow and arrow disappeared in an instant, passing through the golden forest and landing on the hand made of gray tree roots. The next second, the gray tree roots were covered by a column of light, and turned into ashes in the light column as if they were under unparalleled power.

Not only the gray roots, but also the land where the gray roots grew and had already become the underworld was destroyed into a deep pit.

"This, this is too exaggerated." Blaze's eyes twitched.

While there are many ways to create a similar amount of power, none of them can do it as easily as the Star Hunter Bow.

It can be said that this power is worthy of being used to hunt monsters of stars. Just a random arrow attack has such great power.

If he used bow and arrow skills, not too exaggerated, just simply increasing the shooting speed and the skills that can split arrows, then he could easily use the Star Hunting Bow to create a devastating meteor shower.

If the skill of heavy arrows is used, it is possible to penetrate the mountain with one shot.

"What's so strange about that? If you have this power, you can easily destroy Hades Kul and Ereshkigal. Isn't that why you came here?"

"That's what he said, but..." Blaze turned his head slowly. Ishtar was standing behind him, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Why do I sense hostility from you?"

Chapter 1439 I want her

Blaze glanced into the distance and saw that the invasion of the black and gold forest had ended.

This round can probably only be regarded as an advance force among advance forces, used for testing, and its biggest role is to determine the stage of preparation of the preventive measures of the invading target.

He believed that Ereshkigal must have received an answer that he did not like.

Foreigners will continue to learn and evolve. Even if they are defeated, they will quickly stand up and complete their learning.

This time, the strangers obtained the information that the flowing water could restrict the movement of the black gold forest. They also learned that the black gold forest would adapt to the situation and find ways to bypass the water.

It is estimated that the strangers have already arranged their formation by now, and the next time the black gold forest invades, there will be special strangers to keep an eye on it.

Blaze summoned the chicken and asked her to use her teleportation skill to determine the status of several key areas, and then told the names of Ishtar and Ereshkigal to those who needed to know to see if she could get more information.

The invasion project on the black golden forest had one less flaw, but a huge mistake appeared on the golden forest side.

Blaze looked back at Ishtar, the origin of the Golden Sea of ​​Trees, who showed obvious hostility when he attacked the Black Golden Sea of ​​Trees.

All the trees of life are differentiated from Ishtar's power and authority. Even if the trees of life have their own consciousness, there is no guarantee that Ishtar will not be able to interfere with the power and authority that originally belonged to them.

If Ishtar interferes, the Golden Sea of ​​Trees will be conquered directly from the inside. If the Golden Sea of ​​Trees is gone, the real end of the world will not be far away.

"I thought you and your sister Ereshkigal didn't have a good relationship. After all, life and death are as incompatible as fire and water. And you also said that she hated you the most."

"Yes, she stripped me naked, stabbed me with a gun like a hedgehog, and finally pierced my feet with an iron hook and hung me upside down like bacon. Later, those old men came to beg for mercy, and she reluctantly made a few more holes in me and let me go."

"..." Blaze fell into a long silence, until Ishtar began to shake her feet impatiently, and then he managed to say something.

"I hate you so much, what on earth did you do?"

"That was just the result of a mistake I made while trying to achieve my goal." Ishtar waved her hand nonchalantly. "My goal requires Ereshkigal to be alive. I think you should know what kind of god I am from these few words, right?"

"Anyone who gets in your way is your enemy."

Blaze's experience was not enough to see through a person in just a few words, but Ishtar did not hide it. She casually displayed her personality as if she was proud of it, even the [shortcomings] in the usual sense were displayed.

"Then you let me get the three-star belt."

"Let's be clear. Although you didn't give chocolates to the Tree of Life to express your love, nor did you try to mate with me to express your praise for my rule, I know that the plan to give chocolates was made by you."

"Just like every tree of life has its own consciousness, and when they are put together they form the consciousness of the golden sea of ​​trees, I can unify the true feelings of each piece of chocolate and count it as your expression of love to me."

Ishtar put her hands on her hips, raised her head and sighed in a classic "Why am I so popular?"

"Can you stop being so corny? Before making this plan, I didn't even know you existed. I just simply wanted to thank the golden sea of ​​trees." Blaze couldn't help but complain. This goddess's level of talking to herself has reached a rather exaggerated level.

"Anyway, I am the god of love. Repaying love is natural, so I will give you what you need."

"That's a lie," Blaze sighed helplessly. "For someone like you who prioritizes your own ideas, if your priesthood conflicts with your own ideas, you will definitely prioritize them. So, it was you who wanted to give me the three-star belt, and the Valentine's Day chocolate thing was just an excuse."

As if to verify his own thoughts, Blaze simply took off the three-star belt and handed it to Ishtar.

He had just confirmed that the Three-Star Belt could enhance the power and distance of the Star Hunting Bow. Without the Three-Star Belt, he would not be able to make such a deterrent attack as he just did.

As expected, Ishtar remained motionless and made no attempt to take the belt.

"I must tell you that the invasion of the Black Gold Sea of ​​Trees is all-encompassing, dragging all life in the world into it."

"Even if I don't take action, there are foreigners who will take action to protect this world. They may not be able to suppress like the Star Hunting Bow, but they are numerous, and it won't be difficult for them to destroy the Underworld Kul."

Ishtar, who had a very casual expression, was stunned, and her smile became a little forced.

"Is it true? Speaking of which, the Titan God was killed by a foreigner, so destroying the Underworld Kul doesn't seem to be a difficult task."

"So can you tell me the inside story you haven't told me yet?"

Ishtar crossed her arms over her chest, looked at Blaze with squinted eyes, and stomped the ground with her bare feet in a somewhat impatient manner.

She didn't say anything, and Blaze became afraid instead.

After only a few minutes of contact, Ishtar has already shown her unique personality. She says whatever she wants to say, and the one with the problem is definitely not herself, but the person who thinks there is something wrong with her.

On the other hand, if there is something Ishtar doesn't want to say, it must be extremely explosive.

"Forget it, don't tell me."

"I want her."

The corner of Blaze's eye twitched, his brain had already realized what it meant, but he still instinctively didn't want to accept it.

"I see, so that's how it is. You are already the Mistress of Heaven and Earth, so it's only natural that you want to become the Mistress of the Real World. To do that, the only thing you lack is the Mistress of the Underworld, Kul."

"Why are you just like those old guys, so boring? That's why I don't want to say anything." Ishtar snorted and reiterated her words in a loud and clear voice, like singing.

"I want to possess her! Not by holding her in my hands like an object, but by embracing her passionately like a lover, and then in bed -"

"Stop!" Blaze covered his ears. It took him a long time to understand what Ishtar said.

But now he knew why Ishtar had tried to stop him, well, he didn't understand anything else besides that.

Chapter 1440: Rebellious Love

Blaze sat on the branch, racking his brains, and thinking about Ishtar's words with his face flushed.

【I want to have her】

There is nothing wrong with this sentence. It is a relatively domineering way of expressing love.

There was nothing wrong with the target being Ereshkigal, the goddess of death and the mistress of the underworld Kul. Although death can separate all love, there is also a saying that only by transcending death can one embrace true love.

But women and women, sisters, the god of death and the god who symbolizes life and reproduction, isn’t it a bit too exaggerated?

"I knew the gods were outrageous, but I didn't expect them to be this outrageous." Blaze rubbed his face hard. The key point was that Ishtar was serious.

If Ishtar was like Athena, it would be fine if she was just lustful, but the problem is that she is too serious, and her words seem to be full of lust, but with a certain purity.

"I say..." Blaze turned around and saw Ishtar playing with her hair out of boredom at the gap in the ancient Tree of Life.

Can't seem to leave? Blaze narrowed his eyes.

"The reason you were pierced like a hedgehog and hung upside down to dry as bacon wasn't because... you expressed your love without any subtlety, right?"

"Maybe it's because I rushed over naked." Ishtar shrugged and held her forehead in distress.

"She set up seven gates, and I had to take off a piece of clothing at each gate. When I got in front of her, I was naked. I thought it was some kind of interesting foreplay, so the moment I saw her, I pounced on her and pushed her down on the throne."

"You know, no matter how much you love someone, you can't change the way they express their love. I like to take the initiative."

"I don't know!" Blaze pinched his brows. When he realized what he heard, he really listened to every word.

Compared to this outrageous answer, Blaze could better accept that Ishtar was ambitious and wanted to become the mistress of the world and complete the three elements of heaven, earth and the underworld.

“Hmph, this is why I don’t want to say it. This is something that no one can understand even if I say it.” Ishtar snorted.

"No matter what, you can't be with your sister, right?"
