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

But the key is not divinity, but the person who is willing to give up that divinity!

The light is always there; it appears whenever flames are ignited or thunder is summoned.

But for the underworld, no one has ever been willing to burn for it.

Li Lin, however, is the first person of his kind from ancient times to the present.

Garula's mind is very simple; it likes what its queen likes.

Therefore, Garula Ling showed unusual joy at the gift Li Lin gave her.

It used its claws to collect the orb of light that Li Lin had given it, intending to present it to its queen after seeing Ereshkigal.

Of course, gift-giving should not be a one-sided act of receiving.

As a very well-mannered and cultured Garula spirit, it indicated that Li Lin could call upon it at any time if he encountered any difficulties in the future.

It will transform into the defense mechanism of the underworld, unleashing crimson lightning to annihilate all enemies.

From then on, Li Lin finally obtained his first EX-level cheat.

【A Gift from the Underworld—EX】

....................

Meanwhile, in the temple, just as Li Lin and Garula Ling reached a friendly agreement.

Ereshkigal, who had witnessed everything, felt as if his heart had been suddenly struck hard.

She twitched her little nose slightly, as if she was about to cry.

Although Li Lin's actions may have been something he could easily take out at will.

But for Ai Lei, it was a rare form of recognition.

Since she was sacrificed to the underworld, no one has been willing to approach her.

Not to mention giving gifts.

At that moment, Ereshkigal had forgiven Li Lin for forcibly kissing her.

She raised her hand and touched her mouth.

A blush gradually crept onto her fair face.

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

The "path of recognition" here should not be confused with the "recognition" mentioned by King Hassan in the Seventh Singularity.

When Wang Ha said that he "could not give approval," it was because we were on different sides at the time.

Even if we acknowledge Ereshkigal's kindness, our stance at the time was to save humanity, so we cannot condone her actions. Otherwise, we would be betraying our own stance and would no longer be on the path of salvation.

Chapter Five, When looking up at that distant and dazzling divinity.

The age of gods is not counted in years.

Several years passed quickly.

Through this period of time together, Li Lin's relationship with his goddess Ereshkigal has also made some progress.

However, this progress is somewhat limited.

She truly lives up to her reputation as a homebody; it's almost impossible to see her going out.

Even if you do see it, it's because they're working, or in the process of working.

[Ereshkigal is so cute as she works hard!]

...

That day, Li Lin walked along the path leading to the lower level of the underworld, just like any other day.

He was a conscripted laborer.

Li Lin naturally also gained the ability to create [gun cages] in the underworld.

After all, Ai Lei brought Li Lin here to help her with work and share the burden.

If we let Li Lin live a carefree life, what kind of conscription would that be?

Li Lin had no complaints about this.

Instead, she naturally accepted the arrangements that Ai Lei made for her.

After all, creating the gun cage could be seen as a way for the underworld to open up to him.

Now, in addition to his own divine status as the God of Light, he also possesses the divine status of the God of Death from the Underworld.

It is the only being, apart from the creator god, to have combined two opposing divinities into one.

"To be honest, several years have passed and I almost forgot my real purpose."

Arriving at his usual work area, Li Lin stared blankly at the gun cages scattered all over the ground.

This is a relatively flat area, covered with large, deep blue gun cages, each shimmering with a unique light belonging to a soul.

Looking at the scene before him, Li Lin couldn't help but admire Ai Lei's seriousness and responsibility.

It's important to understand that the Sumerian underworld is not some warm and welcoming place.

That is a deep abyss where both the living and the dead are corrupted.

As the ruler of this place, Ereshkigal wanted to ensure that the dead would not be harmed by the aura of the underworld and could find true peace.

In this endless time, countless gun cages were created to protect these souls.

Li Lin looked up.

A pale blue glow emanated from the inner wall of the gun cage, like countless fireflies gathered together.

Although the light was not very bright, it could only illuminate a small area at most.

But the way it accumulated little by little gave this path to the underworld a light blue veil, making it seem like a dream.

"How beautiful! Although we often see the stars in the sky, the light on the ground is just as stunning."

A slight smile appeared on Li Lin's lips as he softly sighed.

He walked over and picked up a gun cage that was slightly dim in light.

next moment.

Inside the gun cage, the negative emotions carried by that soul surged into Li Lin's body like a tidal wave.

That was the entire experience of an ordinary person from childhood to old age.

It contains countless emotions and sins.

Pride, envy, greed, gluttony... these encompass almost all of the seven deadly sins.

Time passed minute by minute.

After a long while, Li Lin let out a long breath and then put the gun cage back down.

That's right, Li Lin's actions just now were absorbing the power of the Seven Deadly Sins from that soul to strengthen himself.

After all, his true identity is the Demon King of Original Sin, and this simulation is for that purpose.

However, the original sin of mortals is ultimately only a minority.

The most important thing is still the goddess.

Indeed, through his observations over the past few years, Li Lin had already discovered that goddesses were the individuals who possessed the most original sin.

According to his estimation, Ishtar's primary sin is Gluttony. Other sins are secondary.

Ereshkigal's most serious sin is greed. The others are secondary.

Li Lin's judgment was based on evidence.

In mythology, Ishtar was a goddess of extreme luxury and indulgence, which perfectly matches the concept of "gluttony".

Ereshkigal, on the other hand, desires everything precisely because she has nothing. This perfectly embodies the concept of greed.

However, despite being burdened with original sin, a goddess is still a goddess.

They are not like ordinary people, controlled by their own desires.

So on the surface, it appears that Ereshkigal is very envious of her younger sister Ishtar, who has everything.

But her rational divine nature also made her dislike such extravagant people.

So, kind-hearted Ereshkigal is really cute. o>_ After transferring the power of original sin that she had just absorbed to [the seat] via the connection.

Li Lin then looked up at the sky.

In the endless, deep darkness, countless polar stars were twinkling.

The twinkling polar stars, like a vast river, are attracting each other and forming a magnificent sight.

Li Lin is now the God of the Underworld, so the moment he looked up at the sky, he already knew.

Each star hanging in the underworld is actually a soul that has already passed away.

It contained many creatures, not just humans. It could be said that the death of all things gathered in the sky above the underworld at this moment.

It was as beautiful as a night sky surrounded by stars.

"This distant yet brilliant divinity is probably what Lord Ereshkigal is protecting."

"Hehe, what a kind and lovely girl."

What should I do if I suddenly start to like her?

A smile appeared on Li Lin's face, and he couldn't help but mutter a sentence to himself unconsciously.

Although Ereshkigal and Ishtar look very similar, or rather, almost identical except for their clothing, he subconsciously experienced Ishtar PDS syndrome when he first met Ereshkigal.

But in the years that followed, he came to understand that Ellie was Ellie, and not someone else.

Compared to Ishtar, Ereshkigal is just so much cuter!

This made him wonder if he should simply suggest to Utu that he marry Ailey to him.

Anyway, isn't marrying off one's sister a form of marriage?

Ereshkigal is your sister too, there's no difference. [laughs :-D]

However, Li Lin could only think about such ideas at most.

After all, whether Utu dares to come to the underworld is another matter, let alone act as a matchmaker.

On the other hand, what Li Lin didn't know was that in the Age of Gods, the names of gods couldn't be spoken casually.

Especially when it's your own boss.

Because the name of a god is often linked to his divinity.

Once you call out the name of a god, the other person will generally be able to hear what you say, no matter how far away they are.

So it's quite obvious... Ereshkigal, who was making gun cages not far away at that moment, heard everything Li Lin said clearly.

"Waaaaah~~"

Ereshkigal's hand trembled, and a lovely blush suddenly rose on her previously calm face.

Chapter Six, The Anti-Summoning Ritual: Finding Ereshkigal's Mother.

That day, Li Lin arrived at the deepest cavern in the underworld, just like he always had.

Accompanied by the starlight of her soul, Ereshkigal was squatting there alone, kneading mud in her hands while using her divine power to reinforce it into the shape of a gun cage.

Seeing this, Li Lin walked over and spoke without thinking.
