It was a laugh that came from the heart, so real and touching.

"Enkidu, you trust me even more than I do—even though you wanted to kill me from the beginning, didn't you?"

"Isn't that what you are?"

Enkidu blinked his own eyes.

"Didn't you initially intend to kill me for the people of Uruk?"

"We're even—"

"We are destined to be together."

"Then Enkidu, just marry me." Ian said, "Since we are going to be together, this is the best proof."

"Do not."

Enkidu shook his head without hesitation.

"I will not marry you—the King of Uruk does not need a consort like me."

"Siduri is the one who is more suitable for you. If the one who is more suitable for you doesn't marry you, how can I be so shameless?"

"I will be as loyal to you as she is, until death."

"..."

Although he had regained his consciousness, Enkidu's words were still as blunt as ever.

Ian fell silent again, then finally nodded.

"Yeah, till death do us part."

【Enkidu rejected your "proposal."】

[But you know, in her heart, there is a deeper "acceptance" than "rejection" - it's just that those things will hurt Siduri, so she gave up.]

You also understand that this is indeed the best way to deal with it.

【after all--】

You actually don't want to see Siduri secretly wiping away tears in the crowd when you and Enkidu take a step further.

[Now, being able to occasionally enjoy an evening in the baths of the Uruk Palace with the three of us is already a good outcome.]

【certainly. 】

Although you feel a little sad about this, you haven't forgotten what you have to do, nor the trust placed in you by the people of Uruk.

You organized them and began to build walls along the border of Uruk, hoping to resist some foreign invasions.

[During this process, Siduri played a supervisory role, while Enkidu became the best "processor."]

You further added a mysterious substance left by your father, Rugopanda, to it, making it much stronger than ordinary city walls.

[But what you don’t know is——]

[Such behavior invisibly provoked a goddess lurking in the dark. ]

【Yes. 】

【That is Ishtar.】

On Mount Ebifu.

Ishtar came here again.

As for why they did this, the reason was simple - this was the best place to observe the entire Uruk, and basically no humans would visit here, so no one would know that they were doing this.

Ishtar was very dissatisfied.

She didn't think that the man who expanded his territory to the level of the Two Rivers was as bad as she imagined.

This is... one of the few kings among humans who has such an achievement!

How could it not be possible?!

That's right!

I must not have observed carefully enough.

If I could find out more about his great achievements, my sister Ereshkigal would definitely agree with my idea!

Thinking this, Ishtar sat on the mountain that was severed by the arrow.

She was so angry that she pouted, and then she summoned the light of Venus again.

Yes.

Ishtar had no way to directly see the situation inside Uruk, and could only use the light transmitted by Venus to indirectly understand everything about Uruk.

only--

When the light of that information returned to her, Ishtar was stunned.

"No, what is this?!"

"How come it becomes like this after not watching it for a few days!"

Just as Ishtar complained, the message transmitted back by Venus should have been the naked appearance of Uruk.

but now……

All that no longer exists.

The only thing that caught the eyes of the Venus goddess was the city wall that was built in a short time (in fact, it was not a short time at all, but Ishtar had a weak understanding of the concept of time).

Can't see it anymore.

Nothing can be seen.

Ishtar held her cheeks and began to scream.

Rumbling--

Rumbling--

There were several thunders in the sky, which were the goddess's surprise.

"Something's wrong...why is this thing here?"

Ishtar became anxious, and then felt that this could not be the truth.

no.

Absolutely not.

It's impossible not to see anything at all.

There must be something that is not sealed!

Ishtar searched so impatiently that she subconsciously overlooked many places.

finally--

The Venus goddess came to a conclusion that was not actually carefully verified at all.

That is……

The King of Uruk stopped himself from "peeking"... No, looked straight at him!

Yes, it must have been the obstruction of his sister Ereshkigal that made the human king think that he did not want to respond to the arrow that was shot at Mount Ebifu. That's why he used this extremely simple and crude way of revenge to prevent him from seeing everything in Uruk!

It’s all that stupid sister’s fault!

Obviously things shouldn't be like this!

Mad!

Mad!

The more Ishtar thought about it, the angrier she became, as if all the facts were as bad and absurd, as outrageous and confusing as she had imagined.

“I can’t stand it anymore!”

"I'm furious!"

"Beat this stupid sister up with one punch!"

Boom!

Ishtar stamped her foot hard.

She already possessed extremely powerful strength, and in this situation of extreme anger, she naturally had no intention of restraining herself.

Click——

Click——

Cracks appeared on the mountain starting from the point where Ishtar landed.

As the goddess vented her emotions by stomping her feet without restraint, the cracks continued to spread in all directions like branches, just like trees that had received nutrients.

thump—

thump—

Mount Ebifu began to fall apart bit by bit, until it was finally out of control.

The only snow-covered mountain range on this scorching land turned into dismembered stones and began to collapse unstoppably towards the ground.

"Ehehehe——!"

Ishtar had never expected things to turn out like this.

I just stomped my feet a few times, how come Mount Aibifu became so broken into pieces?

Gollum-

Ishtar rolled to the ground along with the broken and shattered mountain rocks.

"It hurts..."

"It's all that stupid sister's fault..."

You don't know what happened.

You only know that on the day Ishtar broke Mount Ebifu, you received countless responses from the people of Uruk.

Some say, "Thunderbolts rained down from the sky, splitting Mount Ebifu in half," while others say, "The earth, filled with wrath, shook violently."

[But you understand that this is probably not the truth, but a series of things done by the god who has been watching you and Uruk.]

【but--】

【You didn’t care.】

[After all, whether it's a blessing or a curse, for Uruk at this moment, it's no longer something they can escape.]

【Besides...】

[The Mount Ebifu that made you unhappy has also been destroyed.]

【Why... not be happy about this? 】

The Underworld

This is beneath the ground. All dead creatures, after going through many "processes", will eventually come to this realm of death surrounded by darkness and despair.

And Ereshkigal is the master here and also the god who controls life and death.

but……

At this moment, she didn't care about life or death.

She just wanted to laugh.

As for the reason for laughing——

Ereshkigal looked at Ishtar, whose face was bruised and battered by the shattering of Mount Ebifu, and suppressed his laughter before speaking.

"I said……"

"Sister, do you really have to do this? Do you have to go see that person and Uruk no matter what?"

"Yes! What else?"

Ishtar covered her nose and said with a look of grievance.
