Type-Moon Demon King exploded Elle's gold coins at the beginning!

However, although Li Lin had some complaints about Ai Lei's behavior, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Instead, he waited quietly for the other person to calm down before slowly raising his head and cautiously looking at Ai Lei.

"Um, Lord Ereshkigal, I really didn't mean it."

"Please forgive me this time, for I am just a humble and weak ordinary person."

"Spare you? Impossible."

Ereshkigal crossed his arms and refused Li Lin's request without hesitation.

She said coldly as she stepped on Li Lin's head with her fleshy, beautiful legs.

"You have violated the authority of the underworld. No matter who you are, you will not escape the punishment of death."

"Hmph, now you know fear? Too late."

Ereshkigal looked at Li Lin, who was crawling on the ground and trembling, and couldn't help but let out a smug hum.

She raised her hand and waved it, and a door shimmering with a ghostly light appeared in the space beside her.

She clearly intends to keep her word.

If I say I'll throw Li Lin into the deepest hell, I will absolutely keep my word.

Seeing this, Li Lin thought to himself, "Gordon."

The ominous star was burning brightly above his head.

"Wait, wait! Lord Ereshkigal, I have something else to say!"

Feeling the gradually increasing suction force on his body, Li Lin grabbed Ai Lei's thigh and said urgently.

"This can't be entirely my fault! I remember Lord Ereshkigal was quite proactive back then!"

"Wh-what...!"

"No, no way! I didn't take the initiative!"

"And let go right now, don't you dare cling to my leg like that!"

Ereshkigal blushed deeply at Li Lin's words.

She raised her foot and kicked Li Lin in the face, trying to kick this lecherous man away.

But how strong was Li Lin?

In order to avoid being thrown into the deepest hell, he has now almost abandoned all his integrity, clinging to Ai Lei's legs like an octopus.

"Let me go!"

"I won't let you go unless you take back your plan to throw me into the deepest hell. Otherwise, I'd rather die than let you go."

"You, you better stop this now!!!"

Finally, amidst Ereshkigal's extremely angry roar, a thick, crimson bolt of lightning struck straight down on Li Lin's head.

boom--

The intense light shimmered in the dim space of the underworld.

A few seconds later, Li Lin lay on the ground, his body charred black, with wisps of white smoke occasionally escaping from his slightly open mouth.

"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~".

Ereshkigal pressed his hands to his chest, slowly calming his wildly beating heart.

At this moment, her face was flushed with a lovely blush, her pearly white teeth gently biting her lower lip, and her pair of crimson eyes, rippling like water, looked at the man in front of her, who looked like a piece of charcoal, with a complicated expression.

To be honest, her feelings for Li Lin were complicated.

Although we've only just met.

But Li Lin's behavior—not fearing her, not being afraid of her, not running away from her, and even daring to cling to her leg and beg for mercy like a lecher—involve a strange thought in Ereshkigal's mind.

She is the goddess of fear who governs all corruption and death in the world.

When before, who would have been willing to get so close to her?

Moreover, the other party is a god.

Logically, they should understand the fear she evoked even better, but why...?

Why does he give off such a friendly vibe?

It's like when friends do something wrong and then ask the other person for forgiveness.

It gives people the feeling that they are determined to admit their mistakes, but there is not much of a distance between them.

"Friends...?"

Ereshkigal reached out and clutched his heart, his face flushed and quite adorable.

She looked at Li Lin, who was lying on the ground, raised her head slightly, and said with feigned arrogance.

"Hmph ╯^╰, since you sincerely admitted your mistake, I can forgive you."

"You may escape death, but you cannot escape punishment. As punishment, you shall stay in the underworld and work diligently for me."

"I'll let you go once you've gained my approval."

After saying that, Ereshkigal fled as if his life depended on it, turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing without a trace.

Ps..................

Ereshkigal's blushing, haughty face is so cute! I want to hug her, I want to kiss her. [Going crazy.]

Chapter Four: Gifts from Light, and Feedback from Darkness.

They emerged from the temple of Ereshkigal.

Li Lin walked aimlessly down a dark path.

Although he was ordered to serve Ereshkigal as a servant, which meant he was trapped in the Underworld to some extent, Li Lin did not feel sad. Instead, he was a little happy.

The reason is also very simple.

The identity he was posing as was that of a god of light, who was originally supposed to marry Utu's sister, the goddess of Venus, Ishtar.

However, Ishtar's personality made it difficult for him to speak, which caused him to run away in the simulation.

That's why he disguised himself as an ordinary person and hid in an inconspicuous corner.

Now, due to an accident that led to his death, his soul has arrived in the underworld.

But looking at it from another angle, isn't the underworld the perfect hiding place for him?

And that's not all.

As time goes by, after becoming Ereshkigal's subordinate, Li Lin's own divine light will gradually be covered by a thick aura of death.

This is a unique power possessed by the underworld.

It is the grace that Ereshkigal bestows upon every Grim Reaper.

In this respect, even if Ishtar were the goddess of Venus, she wouldn't be able to recognize him before he deliberately revealed himself.

"Hmph, I never expected that I would actually turn misfortune into a blessing in disguise."

"Although staying in the underworld is a bit boring, it's still better than being captured by that woman Ishtar up there."

Li Lin crossed his arms and strolled around, nodding with satisfaction.

He walked along the short path and came to a relatively spacious flat area.

Just as he turned around, intending to leave directly and head down another road, a striking black dot caught his attention.

"That is?"

Then, following Li Lin's gaze, they saw...

There was a dark, shadowy thing lying on the flat ground ahead.

The square shape resembles a large dog, with its thick limbs lying on the ground as if it were asleep.

Li Lin carefully examined the other person.

He quickly learned of the existence of the creature before him from his memories as the God of Light.

Garula Spirit, the guardian of the underworld.

In mythology, Garula is a unique creature found in the underworld.

No, calling it biological might be a bit one-sided.

Garula Spirit is actually a manifestation of the underworld's defense mechanism.

It is both a mythical beast and a symbol of great power.

The ability they possess allows them to conjure up all sorts of monsters.

Dragons and snakes are included. These are weapons unique to Ereshkigal, the Queen of the Underworld.

Just like during the final battle of the Seventh Singularity, the Garuda spirits heeded Ereshkigal's call and transformed into the Crimson Lightning of the Underworld to temporarily restrain Tiamat's attack.

This shows that Garuda Spirit, as the embodiment of the great power of the underworld, is truly powerful.

Li Lin looked at the large dog in front of him that looked like it was sleeping, and a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

I am now under Ai Lei's command.

Logically speaking, they should be colleagues with Garula and the others.

Given this, is it possible for me to get a little closer to the other person and thus gain their favor and help?

Li Lin rubbed his chin, feeling that this possibility was very high.

To verify this, Li Lin no longer hesitated and slowly walked over.

".roar..."

I sensed an unfamiliar presence approaching.

Garula, who was taking a nap, suddenly opened her eyes.

However, upon seeing the newcomer, a rare hint of surprise appeared in its red-glowing eyes.

Although it had never met Li Lin.

The scent on Li Lin was also unfamiliar to them.

But the familiar taste mixed in made it immediately understand.

Oh, so it was a colleague who got drafted. Oh, never mind then.

Garura Spirit lay down on the ground again, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he returned to his lazy state.

Li Lin walked over.

Seeing that Garula Spirit did not attack him, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He looked at the big dog lying on the ground, staring at him with half-closed eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he reached inside his body.

The next moment, the spherical object emitting white light was pulled out of Li Lin's body.

"Well, it's our first meeting, so I don't really have anything to offer."

"This is a part of my divinity as the God of Light; consider it a gift to you."

"Well, although this divinity may be insignificant in the underworld, it's good to use it for lighting as a memento."

Li Lin smiled and placed the ball of light in his hand next to Garula Spirit.

The faint white light emitted was like a firefly, simply illuminating this small area.

Upon hearing this, Garula did not reply.

But its eyes, which had been half-closed, were now fully open.

O divine light!

What a rare gift!

For creatures of the underworld, light is as distant and unattainable as the stars in the sky.

Although this divinity is but a drop in the ocean of power in the underworld.
