Miss Surtr will ignite the world

Benkei is nowhere to be found; he's probably everywhere.

Half of Ushiwakamaru's body can be seen on the head of one of the snakes.

Behind him, grayish-white stones climbed up Leonidas's muscular body. His body remained upright, but the objective conditions did not allow him to make any further movements.

The sound of stones breaking.

With just a little effort, his feet turned to dust. Although the difference was slight, the general who had guarded the north wall for more than half a year still fell to Gorgon's attack.

The other person looked at Surtr, a relieved expression flashing in their eyes.

Although she could no longer speak, she could roughly understand what the other person meant.

Followed by.

Her petrified body turned to ashes and disappeared into the air under the impact. Surtr leaped up, wielding her Heavenly Fire, and sliced ​​open the snake head that was trying to attack her.

The gaze fell behind Gorgon, where there lay a huge cave.

It was so huge that it could contain the entire body of Gorgon. Come to think of it, it seemed to be quite good at digging holes.

She now understood why Uruk's defensive barrier had been completely ineffective; probably no one would extend a barrier underground, as the concept of tunnel warfare was far too advanced for people of this era.

"Tsk, you damned ants, getting in my way again!"

Gorgon's angry voice came from above. For an avenger, nothing is more exciting than seeing a target of revenge.

As for the difference in strength?

Please, if someone's not even thinking straight, who cares about that?

Gorgon casually swallowed the corpse he had bitten, and his snake hair surged wildly toward Surtr on the ground.

From the very center of the head, a jet-black light emanated.

Legend has it that Gorgon possesses the highest level of petrification magic eye, which can turn ordinary people into a pile of stones simply by looking at them.

But the next moment, Gorgon's shocked voice came from above.

"Why isn't it working!"

The light swept across Surtr's body, but did not cause him any obstruction.

To be honest, Surtr wasn't quite sure which buff on her body had helped her negate it.

Whether it's her own magical resistance, Avalon, or the adaptation and the Twelve Trials, the Mystic Eyes, which aren't even powers, are destined to have no effect on her.

She didn't even feel the pressure.

All I can say is that Surtr is tough in every way right now.

Cutting off the snake's hair that was attacking him, Surtr pondered how to throw the creature away.

Miss Surtr was somewhat annoyed that she couldn't directly kill him, but there was nothing she could do; she was now on Uruk's side.

Shangri-La can't send something that big. The Thousand Realms One Vehicle... there are no restrictions, but it takes time to activate, and it's difficult to succeed if the other party resists.

Honestly, why did it have to be so big?

Surtr complained about a genius engineer whose ashes had been cold for tens of thousands of years, and finally decided to lock the guy up with the Holy Lance first.

However, before that, I caught a glimpse of a small green man flying towards us out of the corner of my eye.

"Report the casualties immediately, take stock of the losses, and have the soldiers find all the remaining magical beasts in the city as soon as possible... What is the situation with Gorgon?"

"Report: Gorgon and Enkidu are both moving towards Kusa City."

When Surtr dismissed Kingu and arrived at the Divine Tower, this was the scene that greeted him.

The golden-haired king sat on his broken throne, issuing commands to his subjects below with a powerful voice.

It doesn't seem like there's anything seriously wrong, at least on the surface.

"I thought I would see him suffer at least a serious injury or something, but I didn't expect him to still be able to work."

Is this the power of a demigod?

"No, it's not that good either. It would be better to let Wang rest first."

Ritsuka shook her head and secretly asked Merlin, the court magician.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the other party seems perfectly fine now; when they arrived, this king was covered in blood and looked like he was about to kick the bucket at any moment.

Although no fatal injuries were found after the examination, it was still clear that the other person was extremely exhausted.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have sat on the ground in front of Ishtar.

This is the result.

After a hasty treatment, he immediately returned to his throne and began dealing with post-war matters.

Let's not call him the oldest hero king anymore, the oldest workaholic would be more appropriate.

Ritsuka thought to herself, "This is what I'm complaining about."

But despite her complaints, she was genuinely worried about his health. If he were to collapse during this period, the entire city of Uruk might descend into chaos.

"As a doctor, I also advised the other party to rest first. Although he is a demigod, the body of a living person is not as robust as that of a Servant."

Roman said.

“I would like to do that too, but this Wang is not the type to listen to advice unless he himself feels that he can’t hold on any longer.”

Merlin shook his head with a wry smile.

Gilgamesh has been doing this for quite some time now, and it's not like he hasn't tried to dissuade him, but it's been to no avail.

"Honestly, I feel like if this keeps up, this guy will die from overwork sooner or later."

Ishtar spoke from the bottom of her heart.

"Over there! Instead of spending your time cursing this king here, you should hurry up and go to the city to help search for monsters."

Seemingly noticing this, Gilgamesh roared.

"Yes Yes!"

Ritsuka straightened her body instinctively, and then quickly left the tower with Mash.

After everyone left the tower, Gilgamesh rubbed his temples and continued with his business.

It went on until late at night.

"Your Majesty, please rest well now. Your health is Uruk's most important asset."

Before leaving, Siduri gave a solemn reminder.

"I understand, I will go later."

Gilgamesh waved his hand dismissively.

"Then, please take note."

Knowing that the other party hadn't listened, Siduri sighed helplessly, picked up the stone tablet used for communication, and left the hall.

Gilgamesh put down the stone slab in his hand and let out a long sigh of relief as the last person left the tower.

His tense body relaxed slightly, and he raised his hand to rub his temples.

Although he didn't seem to care, his body had indeed reached its limit.

"Tsk, I thought we could hold out for a while longer."

Gilgamesh was speechless. Today's battle had been the last straw that broke the camel's back. Perhaps he really needed to take a good rest.

But at times like this

Never mind, I'll take a nap first.

Absolute Demonic Front: Chapter 29 - The Underworld

The next day.

Gilgamesh has officially died suddenly.

On the tower, Surtr and the others, having received the news, came to the hall and gathered around Gilgamesh's corpse. Then, they all turned their gazes toward Ishtar.

"What are you doing?"

At first, she was stunned, and then, as if she remembered something, Ishtar's eyes widened.

"What's going on! You don't suspect me, do you?! I did say something like this guy would die from overwork, but I was just saying it! I didn't secretly put any curses on him or anything like that!"

Ishtar pointed at the corpse on the throne and loudly argued back, gesturing wildly.

The more they talk, the more suspicious it seems.

However, Surtr knew it couldn't really have been the other party who did it. Given the other party's personality, if they really killed Gilgamesh, they would definitely publicize it and say something like, "Come on, take over Uruk!"

"This guy probably just died from overwork. Who told him to work so hard?"

Having seen what that guy looked like last night, Ishtar was not at all surprised by today's situation.

"It's simply undeniable."

Ritsuka nodded subconsciously.

"But this is just too outrageous. Even if he was working incredibly hard, he should know how important he is to Uruk right now. How could he die for such a careless reason!"

Roman loudly protested through the bracelet, expressing his strong aversion to this method of death.

"That's true. It's probably because they were too exhausted that their souls were taken to the underworld by Ereshkigal. Aren't there a lot of people dying of weakness in Uruk recently? It's similar to that."

Surtr revealed the truth.

"We have indeed received many similar reports recently."

Siduri nodded, while the others turned their attention elsewhere.

"Huh, Ereshkigal? Why is she here too?!"

Ishtar's voice rose as she heard the name she disliked.

"Oh my, didn't you know? Ereshkigal is the last member of the Three Goddesses Alliance. She even used your body to fight me a while ago."

"Surtel said."

"Use...my body?"

The shocking facts assaulted Ishtar's mind, reminding her of the strange things that had happened recently.

"No wonder I felt like I'd been out and about when I woke up that night, and so many gems were mysteriously missing. It was all Ereshkigal's doing!"

Ishtar clutched her head, a horrified expression on her face. One of her favorite pastimes was counting her jewels, which explained why the numbers didn't match up no matter how she counted them that day.

"That wretched Ereshkigal! I will tear down her temple and use it as collateral for my lost jewels!"

Ishtar spat out a sound of gritted teeth.

"Although their existence is surprising, there is still a chance if Ereshkigal is there."

Merlin said.

What does "turning point" mean?

Ritsuka was puzzled.

"In the world of the Age of Gods, physical death and spiritual death are different. Even if the soul has fallen into the underworld, as long as the body is intact, it can still be resurrected if the soul is brought back."

Surtr explained.

"So the story of Sisyphus is a work of documentary literature?"

Mashu thought of the man who had deceived the Grim Reaper multiple times; such things could really happen in the Age of Gods.

"So that means we can be resurrected as long as we bring back King Gilgamesh's soul, right?"

Roman made a summary.

"Yes, but there will probably be a battle. The opponent is currently under Ereshkigal's control, and we must defeat her to free his soul."

"I'm telling you, are you serious? In the Underworld, Ereshkigal is the supreme ruler. No matter what kind of god or heroic spirit she is, she is powerless. It's almost impossible to defeat her."

Ishtar poured cold water on the idea.

Gods need no introduction. In places like the underworld, the higher one's divinity, the weaker one becomes. Heroic spirits and undead are not that different; they are all objects within Ereshkigal's jurisdiction.

It's wishful thinking to think you can defeat her.
