Crossover Anime: Offering Myself as a Sacrifice to the Sword? I Choose to Be the Great Demon King

"that is……"

"Gorgon? Wasn't she killed by Senior Mo Li?"

Gudako asked in confusion, and everyone else had the same question as her.

Only Anna, weakly clinging to the pterosaur's back, looked at Mo Li, who had been rescued, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Great, I... I can finally help you... Cang"

Just then, a column of water made of black mud suddenly appeared in the Black Sea and rushed straight towards Gorgon.

Gorgon turned his head, his eyes glowing purple, and activated his Petrifying Eye.

The water column immediately turned to stone and could no longer move forward.

"Master, now we're even."

Chapter 539 The Final Move - Aqua

Gorgon flew away with Moli into the distance, and Tiamat showed no intention of giving chase.

After tossing Moli to Ishtar, the Gorgon arrogantly turned his head away.

It is clear that she has not forgiven everyone, especially Ishtar and Quetzal, who are also members of the Goddess Alliance.

"Thank you for your hard work, Gorky."

Mo Li said softly that no matter what, she was the one who saved her life.

Gorgon merely snorted coldly and said in a nonchalant tone:

"I just don't want you to die at the hands of other goddesses. Only I can take your life!"

After saying that, Gorgon glanced at the weakened Anna and then returned to the Divine Might Space on his own.

Mo Li gave a helpless wry smile, and facing the puzzled looks of the crowd, he began to explain:

“I know you have many questions right now. Let’s go back to Uruk first, and I will tell you the truth.”

"Yes, sea levels are rising. I wonder how Uruk is doing?"

Everyone nodded; clearly, the Gorgon problem was no longer important, and defeating Tiamat was the top priority.

Thanks to the pterosaur's speed, the group made it back to Uruk before sunset.

The good news was that King Gilgamesh had anticipated this and had placed the Fang of Napishtim outside the city walls beforehand, separating the black mud and stopping the tide from advancing. 140

The bad news is that fewer than 500 people remain in the entire city of Uruk.

Upon hearing this news, Mashu immediately thought she had misheard, her face filled with disbelief.

Gilgamesh, however, remained calm and spoke in a composed tone:

"Because of Rahmu's two attacks and the erosion of the black mud, the First Dynasty of Uruk has collapsed. Even if this predicament is overcome, the kingdom cannot be sustained with such a small population."

Since that was the case, Gudako became extremely frustrated.

Their purpose in coming here is to save humanity. If even humanity itself ceases to exist, then all their previous efforts will be in vain.

"We...failed to protect this era..."

"Don't worry, even if we perish, as long as Sumerian culture exists, there will be successors."

Gilgamesh was very open-minded; he understood that as long as Uruk existed, human history would not disappear.

"By the way, where's Aqua? Where did that girl go?"

Mo Li looked around but didn't see Aqua, so she asked in confusion.

Just then, Siduri suddenly ran in from outside the temple, her face showing surprise and delight.

"Your Majesty, great news! Fantastic news!"

"How rude of you, Siduri! Tell me what's going on right now!"

Siduri ran all the way to the center of the hall, and before she could even catch her breath, she hurriedly said:

"Ah... Aqua... she... can purify the black mud!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

The hall was eerily quiet; everyone was immersed in shock and disbelief.

Mo Li slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten that Aqua was the goddess of water, and purification was her most proficient skill.

After passing through the intermediate channel, the purification of the black mud is a natural consequence.

"How could I forget about her? Where is Aqua now?"

"Miss Aqua is maintaining the barrier on the city wall."

"With her here, Uruk will be fine for the time being. Romani, have you finished analyzing Tiamat's data?"

Mo Li shouted loudly, "We have enough time to figure out a way to kill Tiamat now!"

A blue light screen appeared before everyone, revealing Tiamat's figure.

“Tiamat… no, I think there are individual differences in the characteristics of the Beast. Tiamat is born immortal, which has been proven by Moli, who broke through the head of the Beast at sea.”

Mo Li frowned. This was also a difficult problem for him. Immortality was one of Tiamat's powers. As long as she existed in this world, no one could kill her.

Tiamat is the mother of all life, and she will never die as long as there is living life on earth.

Even Mo Li, who possesses the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, could not see any death lines or dead spots on Tiamat.

"To defeat Tiamat, must all life on Earth be wiped out first?"

This almost proves that Tiamat is an invincible being.

Gudako frowned, resting her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

"Hmph, it's not that there's no way!"

Gilgamesh's words broke the silence, and all eyes turned to him.

“Mo Li, you said before that you possess half of Ereshkigal’s Netherworld powers, right?”

“I think I know what you’re trying to do. In fact, it might work.”

Mo Li's lips curled up slightly. To be honest, he wasn't the type of person who liked to use his brain. He would never think about problems that could be solved with force.

But now, for the first time, he experienced the benefits of having a brain.

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

“Gilgamesh meant that as long as there is life on the earth, Tiamat will not die. If one does not know death in a world with life, then one should be pushed into a world without life.”

Gilgamesh nodded and continued:

"As long as he's in the underworld, that guy will become the last living being, right?"

According to Gilgamesh, the probability of success would indeed increase significantly.

"There is a problem: the underworld is not underground in Uruk, and it needs to cover the entire Uruk region. It will take at least ten years."

Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Gilgamesh frowned. He couldn't even wait ten days, let alone ten years.

With Aqua's purification abilities, Uruk can only last for three to five days at most.

Once Tiamat reaches Uruk, all physical attacks will become ineffective.

"Ten years... Hmm... It seems I was naive."

"But isn't there another way?"

"You bastard, can't you just finish what you're saying at a time like this?"

Gilgamesh felt as if he had been tricked by Mo Li, and immediately shouted angrily.

Gudako and the others quickly asked:

"Senior Mo Li, what exactly is your method?"

"Just create another underworld!"

Mo Li's words were startling, causing a look of surprise to flash across everyone's faces.

"Creating the underworld... is that really possible?"

"Oh, is everything alright, Ereshkigal?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Ai Lei's voice came from inside the room.

The Mirror of the Underworld slowly rose from the ground, and Ereshkigal's figure appeared, saying confidently:

"Leave it to me, it'll be done in just three days!"

Mashu turned her gaze to Mo Li and asked cautiously:

"Senior Mo Li, could it be that you..."

Mo Li smiled but did not answer Mashu's question.

However, everyone already had a clear answer in their hearts.

"If we push them into the underworld, it won't be impossible to defeat Tiamat."

"The problem now is that Tiamat's arrival is only two days away, while rebuilding the Underworld will take three days."

Chapter 540 Rebuilding the Underworld, Mo Li's Thoughts

"Should we at least try to gain another day?"

Gudako frowned, wondering if they could hold out with their strength.

Just as everyone fell silent, Mo Li chuckled, drawing everyone's attention.

"Have you forgotten that Marduk's Axe is still kept with me?"

"By the way, but apart from Senior Mo Li, I don't think anyone can wield Marduk's Axe anymore."

Mashu said with a worried look, "The Marduk Axe, which weighs as much as a city, is something even a god cannot use as a weapon, let alone an opponent like Tiamat."

Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, feeling as if they possessed a treasure but were unable to use it.

"No need to worry, I have already seen the path to victory, after all, we have Ishtar on our side!"

"Huh? Why me?"

Ishtar was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

Gudako, Mashu, and the others also brightened up, looking at Ishtar with expectant eyes.

Faced with the hopeful gazes of the crowd, Ishtar looked completely bewildered.

"Hahaha, you actually know how to show your trump card, how hateful, how hateful."

"Wait, wait a minute..."

"Come quickly, there's no need to do such a hateful thing. Quickly call out Gugalana."

Upon hearing the name Gugalana, Ishtar froze on the spot, her body stiff as if petrified.

Mashu clapped her hands from the side and explained:

"Yes, it is Gugalana, the bull of the heavens who serves the goddess Ishtar. I have heard that its figure is as majestic as a mountain, and it is the greatest divine beast in Sumer!"

"I heard that Gugalana can even drain the Tigris River, so it should be no problem to hold back Tiamat's advance."

"As expected of you, Miss Ishtar!"

Faced with everyone's praise, Ishtar's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Only Mo Li, standing to the side, curled her lips. If the Heavenly Bull really existed, she probably would have already shown it off, so why wait until now?

But given the current situation, Ishtar didn't want to disrupt everyone's peaceful moment, so she could only say it tactfully:

"Actually... Gugalan wasn't such a great guy after all. He was completely useless in front of Tiamat!"

Ishtar's voice grew softer and softer, and was soon drowned out by the voices of the crowd.

King Gilgamesh gave her a strange look, as if he had noticed something.

If it were any other time, Ishtar would have burst into loud laughter and started boasting about how powerful Gugalan was. Why was she so silent today?

"What's wrong? You look a little strange."

Gilgamesh seemed to realize something, and his expression instantly turned ugly.
