Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

hum!

As the slender, white fingers approached, colorful ripples spread across the outer wall of the bubble.

"Please, Mother Goddess..."

"I don't want to see you die with my own eyes..."

Lin Xian pursed his lips and slowly closed his eyes, but the shattering of his pure white mental space and the rapid descent of his consciousness instantly plunged his mood to the bottom.

Since you've made your decision, I respect that answer.

Just as the ancient serpent was showing its determination to die, its outward senses vaguely saw that the great void that connected heaven and earth was actually beginning to slowly close!

Immediately, the towering figure outside the world wall withdrew its fingers and quietly sank back into the sea of ​​imaginary numbers.

Could it be... that the Mother Goddess was repairing the Hole in the Sky just now!

"I...I'll wait for you to come back..."

The murmur that traveled into Lin Xian's mind along the anchor line filled the ancient snake with ecstasy.

It worked!

It actually worked!

It is an incredible miracle that the Origin Goddess was able to persuade her to suppress her instincts and choose to remain silent!

However, before he could enjoy his joy for long, a strong feeling of weightlessness followed.

The strange sensation of body and consciousness merging caused Lin Xian, whose mental energy was severely depleted, to have a splitting headache, as if every nerve was being pricked and pierced by red-hot iron needles.

hiss!

The ancient snake, writhing and thrashing on the rocks, persisted for a moment before lying on its back, unconscious.

Eresh hurriedly picked up her pet, transformed into a red streak of light, and rushed towards the temple.

Before Lin Xian's consciousness sank into chaos, a sense of relief welled up in his mind.

Fortunately, we managed to persuade Ti's mother not to get involved, which at least ensured her survival, and that's better than anything else!

But then, strange and confused feelings surged and churned within me.

If the great cavern closes, Mother Teresa will no longer come ashore…

What will happen next: the Three Goddess Alliance hunting humans, the Chaldean travelers repairing the distortions of humanity, and the Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia composing an epic of human resistance…?

Who knows?!

Finally, the ancient serpent, filled with complex emotions, fainted.

But the storm he stirred up had a huge impact.

Like a pebble thrown into a lake, it creates distorted ripples that spread outwards in circles until they stir up the dark currents across the entire lake!

Several days later, unrestrained laughter echoed throughout the royal palace tower in Uruk.

"Interesting! Interesting!"

“It’s so much fun!”

"Hahaha! Such irresistible pleasure!"

The Hero King, toying with a clay tablet in one hand and massaging his aching abdominal muscles with the other, gasped slightly, raised the corners of his lips, and beckoned to the people below.

"Siduli, come, have a drink with me!"

Chapter Ten: The Blank Destiny

With black hair and black eyes, dressed in a light green Sumerian outfit and wearing a white veil, the high priestess Siduri possessed a gentle yet intellectual air. Seeing that Gilgamesh was in high spirits, she reluctantly accepted the wine cup, lifted her veil, and drank with the monarch.

However, the alcohol she ingested did not dispel Siduri's worries, and she couldn't help but ask Gilgamesh, who was on the throne.

"Your Majesty, what is it that makes you so pleased?"

The Hero King smiled mysteriously and casually tossed the clay tablet he had been playing with for a long time to Siduri.

The high priest hurriedly took it, looking somewhat clumsy and surprised. Due to the suddenness of the event, she almost dropped it on the ground.

This Mr. Wang always likes to be unpredictable and defy the rules.

Siduli calmed her heart, which had been pounding in her throat, muttered a small complaint to herself, and then turned her gaze to the clay tablet in her hand.

However, the high priest looked puzzled and looked up to ask.

"Your Majesty, this clay tablet..."

"It was during my return journey from searching for the elixir of immortality that I glimpsed the future in a notebook while Kusa was half-asleep. It recorded the destiny of Uruk."

"Because the content was very interesting, I brought it back with me after I woke up."

A divine decree tablet?!

Siduri's expression instantly turned to surprise and doubt. She repeatedly examined the clay tablet, even running her fingertips over every inch of it, but her face remained even more bewildered.

After a long silence, the priest finally spoke with difficulty, his expression strange.

"But, Your Majesty, it's empty..."

The clay tablet held up by Siduri had a slightly uneven surface, but no inscriptions, as if the previous marks had been violently erased.

Gilgamesh drank the nectar in his cup in one gulp, his smile carrying a profound meaning.

"That's why it's funny!"

The chief priest looked bewildered, not understanding what he meant.

Gilgamesh leaned back in his chair, propped his chin up with one hand, and lay lazily on the throne.

"The future I once saw was a stagnant pool, its shape already fixed, its interior rotten and uninteresting..."

"But now, the river of fate has deviated from its predetermined course, and anything is possible!"

At this moment, the King of Heroes paused for a moment, glanced at the high priest below the stage, and his eyes were full of meaning.

“You should be thankful for this, Siduri…”

"Only by starting from scratch can we write the most beautiful poems!"

However, Siduri, lacking any foresight into future wisdom, remained completely baffled by it.

But seeing King Gilgamesh so happy, the high priest couldn't help but curl up his lips and reveal a genuine smile.

Since the passing of that beautiful green-clad person, such a pure smile has rarely been seen on the king's face.

The rumors that the immortal herb had been devoured by a snake, and the shattering of the king's desire for immortality, made Siduri even more worried about Gilgamesh's condition.

However, unexpectedly, the monarch's mood improved after returning from Qusa, and he even became interested in drinking with her.

Whether it's the Mandate of Heaven tablet or an infinitely possible future, as long as the king is happy and continues to guide the people with wisdom, nothing else matters.

"Haha, delightful! Delightful! Truly delightful!"

"If it weren't for the intense pressure from outside, I would have declared a day off for everyone in Uruk to celebrate to their heart's content!"

After drinking heavily for a while, Gilgamesh casually tossed his wine cup into the golden vortex behind him, then sat upright and summoned the guards who had been waiting outside the door.

The priests presented several baskets of clay tablets to the hero-king in turn, and while Gilgamesh reviewed the messages, they reported back in concise language.

"Your Majesty, the water level in the Persian Gulf in the south has risen sharply, and the waters of the two rivers are becoming saline..."

"In the northwestern fir forest region, a large number of magical beasts have broken through the blockade of the Northern Highlands, forming a cluster in Babylon and establishing their nests there..."

"In Kusa City on the east side, an epidemic is spreading, and 127 people have died from exhaustion. The astrological observatory suspects that there is a problem with the soil and water. We are organizing personnel to cover the evacuation of the survivors..."

"The southwestern rainforest is growing abnormally, spreading rapidly in all directions, and even cutting off the banks of the Euphrates River into completely different landscapes."

"No one has survived the fall of Eridu..."

"Furthermore, according to the soldiers' reports, sporadic magical beasts have appeared on the road."

"And the priestess's previous act of privately summoning the gods to descend also brought about bad consequences."

"The goddess Ishtar, who possessed a human, not only failed to protect Uruk, but instead caused chaos and looted treasures everywhere. Some of the herders who were attacked suffered heavy losses."

Gilgamesh quickly scanned the cuneiform script on the clay tablet, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised.

"Tsk tsk, it's a complete mess in all four directions..."

"Even the sky, the earth, the forests, and even the ocean have become enemies that squeeze human living space..."

"Things are getting interesting."

Siduri coughed softly, interrupting the pleasure-seeker's reverie, upon hearing Gilgamesh's untimely remark.

"Alright, there's my decree above. Take it and do as I say!"

"Humans are not that fragile!"

"Whether it's the rainforest to the south, the flooding of the Persian Gulf, or even the plague in Kusa, the threat posed is quite limited."

"The monster horde emerging from the cedar forest is highly mobile and dangerous; dealing with them first is the most important thing."

"Therefore, immediately mobilize manpower and food from Nippur, Kazaru, Sipa, Kish, and Ur. I intend to build a fortress on the northern wall to defend against the invasion of magical beasts!"

Gilgamesh arranged the affairs methodically, and the tense atmosphere among the people in the hall gradually eased.

When the King of Heroes revealed his final decision, a hint of intrigue flickered in his eyes, as if he had thought of something intriguing, before he slowly began to speak.

"The name will be—Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia!"

After the priests had received their orders and dispersed with heavy hearts, Siduri hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward with a clay tablet in her hand and whispered worriedly.

"Your Majesty, the priestess received a divine revelation during a spirit-summoning ceremony."

"It seems that three goddesses are forming an alliance, unleashing disaster, hunting down humanity, destroying an entire era, and intending to become the eternal rulers of this land..."

Gilgamesh took the clay tablet and examined the inscriptions with little interest, seemingly showing little surprise.

"I thought that after such an accident, they would have made great progress, but it turns out they're still the same old thing?"

Siduri's expression shifted, clearly understanding the hidden meaning.

"Your Majesty, do you know the true identities and intentions of the three goddesses?"

Gilgamesh looked up and pondered, casually shattering the high priest's reverie.

"Perhaps I knew before..."

"But now, with the gates of heaven sealed and the distorted human reason of Babylon gone, those busybodies from Chaldea will probably be absent,"

"Tsk tsk, everything has changed. No one can see the future amidst the turmoil..."

Me too…

Siduri's face fell, her expression showing disappointment and unease.

Without the wise king's insightful and far-sighted guidance, who could see the situation from afar, she lacked confidence in her ability to hold Uruk.

However, in the darkness, a cold sneer appeared on the lips of the hero-king.

Is it a blessing from heaven that fate is clearly visible in one's eyes?

madness!

Since the outcome is fixed, it means that no matter how much you struggle, nothing can be changed.

The more clearly one sees through things, the tighter the shackles become, until the puppet imprisoned within is strangled.

For example, a future king who claims to possess infinite wisdom, can see through the joys and sorrows of all things in the world, and is nominally capable of solving everything, yet does nothing, is a good example.

I'm not like that pathetic wretch!

This time, I, the King, will write the answer myself on the blank Destiny Tablet!

The real answer that belongs to me!

Unconsciously, Gilgamesh clenched his hands behind his back, his piercing gaze fixed on the vast void.

hum!

In the underworld, the sound, like the playing of harp strings, spreads upwards along an invisible anchor line, reaching the sea of ​​imaginary numbers.
