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

Just by looking at that big ship below, you can tell that there must be gods helping them. Otherwise, how could a group of mortals know that the cataclysmic disaster was coming and thus build a ship in advance?

Although it has been ostensibly decided that the human race must be cleansed.

But didn't you see that the gods didn't say anything? Anyone with eyes can see whether there's any exaggeration involved.

However, although he thought this, no god came to remind the fool.

Those who can't see the truth deserve their misfortune.

...

Seeing that Enlil did not reply and that the other main gods were not paying attention to him, this random god began to feel uneasy.

Upon arriving here, even he gradually realized that something was wrong.

However, before he could leave, Enlil suddenly spoke up.

"Since you're so keen on it, then go down and cause them some trouble."

"Uh, yes, I understand."

Upon hearing this, the passerby god had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up again. Then, witnessed by all the gods, he transformed into a streak of light and flew down to the mortal realm.

...divider...................

At this moment, the water level in the Mesopotamian plain has reached its fifth day.

The raging floodwaters submerged everything.

The surging waves covered the entire land.

Only a few large ships, burdened with heavy loads, stubbornly continued to navigate through the waves.

Of these large ships, apart from Siduri's, the others were all built by the water god Enki.

As the floodwaters intensified, some of them gathered together, while others were swept away to distant places and disappeared without a trace.

Ultimately, building large ships only offered people a glimmer of hope; it didn't mean that anyone who boarded a ship would definitely survive.

Faced with the gods' wrath that covered the entire earth, the power of mortals was ultimately too insignificant.

Siduri knew this, so she did not have a sense of justice in her heart to save everyone.

Even if a large ship were to be swept away and sink right before her eyes, she would not have the slightest thought of trying to save it.

After all, the swiftness of the flood was beyond human control, and she had to be responsible for the lives of the people on her boat.

If they rush in rashly, there's a high chance they won't be able to save her, and her boat will be washed away as well.

In this life-or-death crisis, calmness is essential.

"Lady Siduri, if this continues, we will be swept into the sea."

Just then, a former soldier from Elidu walked over and said with an anxious expression.

Upon hearing this, Siduli turned her head to look in the direction the soldiers were looking.

The large ship, carried by the raging floodwaters, continued to rush towards the Persian Gulf.

If things continue like this, even if they manage to survive and weather this flood crisis safely...

They might also be swept away into the vast ocean, lose their way, and eventually starve to death on the ship.

"Have the spotter carefully check if there are any large mountains nearby. We'll sail with the wind, and then I'll try to use magic to see if we can stabilize the boat."

Siduri made a quick decision and spoke directly to the soldiers.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Upon hearing this, the soldier forgot even basic etiquette and turned to run towards the watchtower in the middle of the large ship.

However, just as he had organized his men and selected those with good eyesight to carefully observe the surrounding area...

Suddenly, a fog enveloped the entire area, concealing the whole of Mesopotamia.

Such a sudden fog was naturally a blow to all the humans who had temporarily survived.

Crossing floodwaters is dangerous enough.

Sailors must always pay attention to the size of the waves and judge whether whirlpools have formed nearby, so as to avoid them in advance.

Suddenly, the fog blocked their view, rendering all their efforts futile. In the end, they could only rely on luck to sway back and forth on the water, hoping that no accidents would occur.

But, is this possible?

This flood was designed to wipe out humanity, so how could we possibly let them survive it safely?

Therefore, it is seen from the perspective of the gods.

What was originally just a simple surge of waves suddenly began to swirl in many places, creating one powerful vortex after another.

If large human ships are not detected in advance and are sucked in, the only result will be that they are crushed into dust and fall into the water.

"Tsk, I thought I wouldn't have to lift a finger."

Standing at the southernmost point, at the confluence of the Persian Gulf, Li Lin watched the surging floodwaters and murmured to himself.

He originally thought that if it was just a simple flood, Siduri's wisdom and the large ships she had built would make it easy for her to survive the disaster.

Who would have thought that the gods in the sky would be so uncivilized, actually ordering people to release smoke bombs and plant landmine vortexes in many places? If someone were to be accidentally pulled into one, even a ship like the Siduri, which was blessed with magic, would not be able to withstand it.

"In that case, let me help you one last time."

"Enki, Ishtar, as two of the Seven Fates, you'd better keep a close eye on things for me."

Li Lin looked up at the sky, his deep eyes devoid of any emotion.

At this moment, he has shed his cloak as the god of death and donned his divine status as the god of light once more.

But this is not enough.

Oh, the distant and radiant divinity.

That is a mother's boundless love for her children.

Like the deep ocean, it embraces everything, even the scorching sun finds its home in its mother's embrace.

Li Lin closed his eyes, channeling all his power into a future moment.

The power of the Seven Deadly Sins has ripped the course of history.

In the Zoroastrian religion of the neighboring Persian Empire, I saw a figure radiant with light, as grand as the abyss of the universe.

The Supreme God of Light, Ahura Mazda.

P.S.............................

The adorable author, with her perky butt, is asking for votes.

Enlil: Holy crap, the God-King from next door is attacking?! Σ(OдO|||)ノノ

Chapter 44, The Rising and Setting of Light

In fact, the power of light is by no means weak.

The sun isn't something only you, Shamash, are entitled to shine upon.

Although the power of light varies in different mythologies.

But without a doubt, the strongest among them is Ahura Mazda, the supreme god of the Zoroastrianism next door.

Li Lin used the power of the system to travel through time and space.

He didn't have much hope at first, he just wanted to see if he could borrow some of the power of the Seven Deadly Sins from the future.

Unexpectedly, the Seven Deadly Sins of the future did not arrive; instead, Ahura, who was also a being of light, cast a glance in their direction.

The next moment, Li Lin's original Sumerian divinity was completely covered.

A great sun appeared at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, rising from the embrace of its mother like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, slowly flying into the sky.

At that moment, the dark clouds were pierced by the dazzling light.

The dawn of hope pierced through the wind and rain, falling upon the entire plains of Mesopotamia, dispelling the thick fog and giving those who were still struggling a way to finally see the light of day.

Splash!

In an instant, everyone who was still alive knelt down.

Overjoyed, they knelt at the bow of the ship, their faces streaked with tears as they gazed at the sky.

They had already given up hope. The great flood, the fog, the whirlpool—each of these was a disaster that could easily destroy them.

Having already made her choice, she decided to stop hoping for more and instead find the motivation to live with her own hands.

Many of them did not lose their faith in the gods.

Even if a great flood comes, it will be the same.

However, they also understood that simple faith was useless if they wanted to survive.

If they don't work hard with their own hands, death will be their only destination.

Li Lin looked down at everything below.

He felt nothing about people kneeling before him, this "god," again.

Although he hopes that humanity can take its own path into the future.

But this kind of thing can't be accomplished overnight; it needs to develop gradually.

Living for one's own life—that's an inspiration, an initial spark.

He believed that one day this spark would gradually grow bigger.

Ultimately, it burns fiercely, using its blazing light to carve out its own future.

...

"How is that possible? Why would the sun appear at this time?"

In the heavens, all the gods stared wide-eyed at the changes below.

They all turned to look at Shamash beside them, as if to say something.

Good heavens, your sun chariot has been stolen, and you're still sitting there calmly?

Shouldn't we go down and slap that person twice?

"Ahem, this matter has nothing to do with me, so don't all stare at me."

Faced with the gazes of the gods, Shamash was somewhat embarrassed and couldn't help but cough lightly and say something.

The gods looked at him with even more strange expressions.

It wasn't doubt, nor was it anger.

After all, as gods, they were able to clearly see the scene of Li Lin transforming into the sun.

Although it is unknown when Li Lin received Tiamat's blessing, and what exactly caused that inexplicable light emanating from him.

But they still understood that this really had nothing to do with Shamash.

Although it was irrelevant, it didn't stop them from looking at Shamash with strange eyes.

It's generally accepted that a pantheon typically has only one sun.

And guess what? The Sumerian pantheon actually produced a second sun!

And it's even officially recognized by the "mother" (the government/organization), so tell me, isn't that embarrassing for you, Shamash?

Faced with the gazes of the gods, Shamash opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Given his rigid and serious personality, he should have already picked up his greatsword and struck down someone who would commit such a blasphemous act.

But when he looked down at the sea, which shimmered with a white light, like a mother's arms, watching over the sun in the sky, he fell silent.

Damn it, someone's cheating and you still want me to go down and take him down?

What if I lose? Will I still be able to be the sun god?

Thinking of this, Shamash simply shut up.

Fine, let's just take it as a tacit agreement. It's not a big deal to leave a few humans behind.

At this moment, the word "heart" was written all over Shamash's face.

Although others couldn't tell, Ishtar, standing nearby, just found it amusing.
