Dragon of the Root - Chapter 986: Gorgon leaves the stage
Chapter 986: Gorgon leaves the stage
While thinking silently, the Gorgon’s body cracked even more. In the end, his huge body that didn’t say anything, instantly disintegrated, turned into tiny magic particles, and disappeared in the underworld.
At this point, the beast goddess who had been destroying Mesopotamia for half a year, was killed in such a humiliating situation as being “stabbed in the heart by an enemy without any defense” and left the stage.
At the same time, in the dense forest in the southwest, in the Feathered Serpent God’s territory, Anna who was injured from dealing with Mušḫuššu, seemed to have telepathy, and suddenly looked in a certain direction on the north wall.
The robed girl held her body with both hands, saw what to do, and muttered silently.
“Gorgons…”
…
In the Underworld, Wu Ming did not rest on his laurels or feel guilty about killing a Gorgon. After all, he could kill a Gorgon even if it was face-to-face, but it was only a little troublesome.
It can only be said that this is a matter of luck, who would have thought that the Gorgons would come to the underworld, who would have thought that Ereshkigal would join Wu Ming, and who would have thought that Wu Ming would take advantage of Ereshkigal and just stab the Divine Sword of Salvation. into the heart of the Gorgons.
The so-called “time is also destiny” is almost like this.
With a single move, Wu Ming took the Divine Sword of Salvation in the air into his hands, and held it high, the light shone into the underworld again, but this time the light was a little softer than before.
When the Gorgons broke free, some black mud fell into the underworld, and Wu Ming was responsible for solving them. No, it must be said that only he who holds the power of Root, can completely remove the black mud.
Ereshkigal who was behind Wu Ming, fell into a sluggish state once again due to the light shining on the underworld.
After a while, the remaining black mud of the underworld was cleaned by Wu Ming, the light disappeared, and the Divine Sword of Salvation was removed.
Wu Ming turned around and looked at Ereshkigal, who was still slumped on the ground.
“Why are you in a daze?”
Wu Ming’s words brought Ereshkigal back to his senses, and immediately lowered his head.
Even though the underworld was still dark, Ereshkigal’s cheeks reddened with embarrassment still caught his attention.
However Wu Ming was also used to the attitude of a little girl like Ereshkigal, who attracted more attention than Ishtar.
“Ereshkigal, what are you going to do next?”
“Next?”
“Then let me ask you another question. Gorgon one of the three goddess alliances, left the stage, and the other goddesses were also pulled to the human side by me. Now that you are the only remaining human enemy, and the alliance between the three goddesses can also be considered as an indirect collapse, either you will continue to attack Uruk, or you will stop there.”
Ereshkigal was clearly dumbfounded by this, she didn’t think about it at all.
After all no matter who it was, humans could not fight against the gods, so in the end there must be a certain goddess who attacked Uruk and took the Holy Grail in Uruk, and ended up facing the attacks of the two remaining goddesses.
Just like Merlin’s analysis of Gudako and the others earlier, the three goddesses still had to rely on strength to decide the outcome.
In the end, who would have thought that one of them would stop and the other would turn against, leaving Ereshkigal alone?
“You want to create a death kingdom, why do you have this idea?”
Because the underworld exists, the souls of those who have died in the past six months will come to the underworld. Not only that, but also the people of Kusa. The city was also overnight, all of them died mysteriously, and this was undoubtedly done by Ereshkigal.
And judging by the number of souls in the armory that Wu Ming entered the underworld twice, those people were definitely imprisoned there, and it was clear that Ereshkigal wanted to create a death kingdom.
Even if Wu Ming’s guess is not completely correct, it is estimated to be inseparable.
“…” Ereshkigal did not speak, but remained silent and lowered his head slowly.
“Do you want to protect humans?”
If the human body cannot be protected, then at least the human soul must be preserved. Ereshkigal was thought to have joined the Three Goddess Alliance with this idea in mind.
Ereshkigal suddenly raised his head and looked at Wu Ming with astonished eyes, as if to say, “Why do you know?”
However Wu Ming returned a natural smile, for this reason, if he could not guess, how stupid he was.
“People say that the goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal is a scary goddess, and I think so too, but in the two times I’ve had contact with you, I haven’t discovered how scary you are. The reason why people like this think, is only the fear of ‘death’ in your grasp. ”
Suppose someone looks fierce and very quiet and has no friends, even though that person’s heart is better than other people, but there must be people around people who judge people by their appearance, then this person will inevitably be considered a bad person, because of his bad appearance. fierce.
In addition, this person is lonely and has no friends. Once the rumors spread, this person would assume the identity of a bad person.
The same goes for Ereshkigal, as she is the ruler of the underworld. Because of death, coupled with Ereshkigal’s inability to leave the underworld, and not being able to show people her good side, this caused the people on land to become even more afraid of Ereshkigal, afraid of the Queen of the Great Below.
Precisely because it is considered a scary goddess, then Ereshkigal will dress up as an evil goddess, precisely because her heart is not that of an evil goddess character, so when she encountered Wu Ming before.
She didn’t pretend to be the Evil Goddess in time, but kept her original character, which was why Ereshkigal panicked because she was afraid that the secret of pretending to be Goddess Jagat would be exposed.
Someone will try to play a role because of the rumors, can such a character, a girl who panics and is “crushed” when a little secret is discovered, can be a bad person?
And most importantly…
“Those who subconsciously thank others, I really don’t think such a person is the so-called evil goddess. ”
Ereshkigal was much better than Ishtar only in this way.
Having said this, no matter how stupid Ereshkigal could understand, Wu Ming was almost clear.
Then, Ereshkigal spoke
“That’s right, I don’t want to destroy Uruk like the Gorgons, I just want to protect Human Souls, evil will also use evil means to help humans, this is my way.”
