Chapter 991: Prologue to the End and Beginning (5)

——BC.2655——

"You said it yourself, you can kill this cow."

"Of course it would have killed someone if it trampled on someone, but now the Kuta guys didn't even get a hair hurt! Give it back! ”

"But if it weren't for the king's protection of it, you would have killed it with your own hands."

"Didn't you read it wrong before! It's a lot of work to resurrect it! ”

By this time, Ryunosuke and Matthew had returned to the main city of Uruk with the young Gil and Ishtar, and the "Heavenly Bull", which was originally quite large but now only the size of an ordinary calf, was also brought to his palace by the blonde boy.

Ishtar tried his way to no avail, and at this time he was lying in the palace of the young Gil and refused to leave, and the two sides quarreled like real children.

Tosaka, the prime minister, and Siduri, the chief priest, were apparently accustomed to this, and were discussing something on the side of the palace, laughing and laughing, completely ignoring the tense goddess and the king.

"Goddess Ishtar doesn't seem to have noticed that she has been 'replaced' at all, and has taken everything that 'that one' did before as if it were her own subjective doing." Matthew whispered to Ryunosuke.

"Ah, that's right, she just took out the Freedom Haven and drove back very naturally, not thinking about how she could suddenly drive." Ryunosuke nodded in response.

"Could it be another senior......" Matthew guessed hesitantly.

"Well, it's possible, but she shouldn't be in any danger now, it's better to say that she's very safe, and she can even ask the goddess to send us a message." Ryunosuke agreed.

At this time, after all, it is the "Age of Mythology", and if the quality of ordinary people is the same as that of modern times, then it is impossible for Uruk soldiers alone to block the attack of monsters and beasts, and it is not something that can be solved by a few more Gilgamesh.

The most intuitive example is that when Ryunosuke was pinning down and killing the "Heavenly Bull", Kuta's defenders had already blocked the surprise attack of the demonic beasts outside the walls with great difficulty, although the "Goddess of Death" assisted them, which was enough to prove their quality.

This directly leads to the fact that if Lin Hao's incarnation of the servant strength is very average, he may not even be able to defeat ordinary soldiers, and it will be difficult to protect himself when the "immortals fight" on all sides.

However, if she is directly relied upon by one of the strongest goddesses of the current era, [Death Goddess Ereshkigal], her safety is well guaranteed, and even if she plans to mess around like she did in "Fuyuki ten years ago", it is impossible to snatch the goddess in terms of control.

However, what do the three sentences she specially conveyed mean?

No, wait, "with pleasure in the heart" words......

Ryunosuke looked at the young Jill on the throne, and as expected, he saw a pleasure in his red eyes that was not much hidden.

So now it's only Ishtar himself who is seriously arguing?

But what does "non-consent" mean?

Boom.

A subtle cracking sound sounded, and when Ryunosuke followed the prestige, he found that the sound came from the point of contention between the young Gil and Ishtar, the bull of the sky who was tied to the pillar behind the king's palace, and the "lock of heaven" on its body had broken at this time, and the one who appeared beside it inexplicably was the "Enkidu" who had a side of fate, with green hair and golden eyes, and wearing a wide white coat.

When did this guy sneak in? Ryunosuke didn't have time to think about it, and charged towards him one step faster than the other guards reacted.

It doesn't have to be killed, but at least it has to leave him behind-

Moo——! 】”

The Heavenly Bull's eyes turned red again, and his body instantly regained its size like a giant palace, and it jumped straight upward, slammed into the roof of the palace, and flew away with "Enqidu" all the way to the sky.

————

"There is no doubt about it, to remove all the god-made things within the walls of Uruk!"

Gilgamesh, who was covered in golden armor, his hair stood on end, and his eyes were vicious, said.

"You're going to throw yourself out too, you idiot? Just check everything that might be controlled. ”

Cloth hat and robe, left hand axe and right hand book, disdainful Gilgamesh lightly retorted.

"If you want me to say, to sum it up, just check the creations of Ishtar, and throw out those who are suspicious."

Gilgamesh, a small boy with a broken golden chain and one eye closed, wondering what he was thinking, made a suggestion.

Since the roof of the young Jill's palace was torn off by the bull of heaven, the location of the three Gilgamesh to discuss countermeasures was located in the palace of "Gilgamesh of the Caster Vocation".

Because the bull of heaven did belong to Ishtar, the little goddess was excluded from this meeting, even if she was very dissatisfied.

In addition, dealing with the unknown enemy's obstruction of the young Gil's "completion of history" by controlling the creation of the gods is only one of the many issues, and they also have to manage the municipalities of the member cities of Uruk, arrange the defense of multiple sections of the city walls, and make plans for the production economy, etc., etc.

"Ryunosuke, what's your point of view?" As the palace approached the door, Tosaka asked in the tone of an examination school - since he first recognized the teacher-student relationship, he no longer called Ryunosuke a slightly unfamiliar "sir".

"I want to ...... Not. Ryunosuke was about to choose one of the three options, but suddenly paused.

[Do not give consent to a person who is happy].

There is no doubt that all three Gilgamesh are "happy", that is, they are all wrong.

And after negating everything in their agenda, all that's left is ......

"The students want to check all the god-made things in Uruk that don't belong to Ishtar and don't seem likely to be controlled." Ryunosuke concluded.

"Oh?" Tosaka's face was slightly surprised: "Since the plans of the three kings may be in the other party's plans, the idea of finding another way is not bad, but have you thought about what this condition points to in the first place?" ”

"What is it?" Ryunosuke had a faint premonition.

"Of course—" Tosaka stretched out his arms and drew a large circle around him, "the walls that protect Uruk from falling." ”

————

"This wall can really ......be controlled," Tosaka said with some emotion as he sat in the back seat of the Freedom Haven and watched the wild and prosperous scenery on both sides of the car retreat at high speed.

Since Ishtar was unable to clear her own suspicions in the "Heavenly Bull Incident", the entire god had been controlled by the goddess Ningsun, and the responsibility of inspecting the god's creations in Uruk fell to Ryunosuke and Matthew, so she simply returned the car.

No matter what Ryunosuke thinks, that goddess Ningsun is an ordinary strong woman, and she is at the executive level of a Fortune 500 company in the modern era, but since the three Gilgamesh call her mother, she can only be treated as a real person.

In addition, because this examination involved Gilgamesh himself, Young Gil did not participate, and Siduli, who had no goddess, was so busy that she hit the back of her head with her foot, so she had to ask Tosaka to take the time to go with her.

As for the results of the examination, they were not too unexpected:

As the patron saint of Uruk, Ishtar can be said to be everywhere in his reckless and casual creations, and the control is also quite unstable, if all of them are controlled by the people behind the control of Enkidu and the Bull of the Heavens, it is indeed enough to make the entire Uruk City unpeaceful, if it is launched at a critical moment, it is likely to lead to the loss of some sections of the city wall, as for the upper and lower sections of the city wall, as a defense facility built by Gilgamesh himself, the control is firmly in the hands of the most ancient king, and there is no room for anyone to interfere.

If the investigation ends here, it will completely confirm the speculation that Ishtar is the mastermind behind the scenes or is being used, and her usual nonsense and acceptance by the "Three Goddesses Alliance" can also be used as ironclad evidence.

The two "Gilgamesh" may not be unaware that Ishtar is wronged, but out of disgust with her and confidence in their own control, they will try to bring about this outcome, and in the case of two against one, and this "one" is in juvenile form, it will be a foregone conclusion that Ishtar and her creation will be driven out of Uruk.

- If Elishkigal hadn't appeared.

She explicitly admonished: "Do not give consent to those who are happy in your heart," that is, whatever Gilgamesh concludes, it must be denied.

Her words of "saving the inhabitants of Kuta" and "preventing that section of the city from being breached" are two feats that could never be performed, and anyone has to weigh them.

In this way, further inferences are interesting.

If the enemy's goal is to expel all the remnants of Ishtar's divine creations and powers, what is the purpose? After all, these divine powers are just as chaotic and disorderly as their masters, and no one will accept them, and any attempt to intervene will cause them to fight back with all their might.

Combined with Gilgamesh's other statement that "he has complete control over the walls", as well as the attributes of Enkidu, Finbaba, and the Bull of Heaven in the previous incident, a somewhat incredible, but very frightening, conclusion is reached:

The people behind the scenes intend to bypass Gilgamesh by some means after expelling Ishtar, a divine power that must be antagonized, to control the wall that acts as the "upper and lower eyelids", and then make this "eye" blink.

And during the time that Ryunosuke drove on the walls of the "upper eyelid", Tosaka had fully confirmed that such "control" was possible.

It is better to say that the previous control of Finbaba and the Bull of Heaven is to lay out for this.

But how to break the game? If the status quo is maintained, as long as the other party does not start for a day, the pressure on Ishtar's side will be greater, although the little goddess may not care about this kind of pressure from mortals, but it cannot be ruled out that she may suddenly lose her temper, and it is really impossible to go back and tease her to sneeze......

————

Whew-

"Senior, be careful!"

The convertible was speeding on a flat city wall, but seventeen or eighteen sharp gold and silver chains suddenly appeared in the air in front of it, pointing directly at the three people in the car.

Matthew stood up with a scream and raised his shield to knock away several chains that rushed towards the driver's seat, but the vehicle itself spun around due to the sudden stall.

What's even more bizarre is that there is nothing on the wall, but the vehicle keeps shaking and shaking as if it keeps hitting something.

"A sapphire of silence will dispel all illusions!" Tosaka raised his cane and slammed it on the edge of the vehicle.

Whew-

With a burst of blue light, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

The walls had become so wide and flat that the part near the interior had even collapsed in half, and it was the irregular bumps that kept the car jolting.

The reason for the collapse was the "Heavenly Bull" who was under the city walls, his eyes were red, and he didn't seem to care about the tiredness and pain of hitting the city walls.

The chains were projected by Enkidu, who was standing on a high battlement and staring at the car with a cold and angry gaze, and when he saw that the first wave of chains did not hit, he took them back and threw a second wave at the "Haven of Freedom" without hesitation.

Squeak Squeak –

Ryunosuke poured magic into the convertible he was driving - especially the brake pads, and narrowly stopped the car before the chain rain fell, and then jumped out of the car without saying a word.

Ding-dong!

As expected, the speed of the chain attack and retraction became faster and faster when they were closer to the "Enkidu", but Ryunosuke, who had expected it, not only blocked them, but also rushed a few steps closer to the "Enkidu".

"Wise Topaz, please shelter my friend!" "Bright rubies, go burn my enemies!" Behind Ryunosuke, Tosaka, who jumped out of the car with a vigorous movement, raised the gem cane he was holding again, and quickly activated the magic in the two gems with the speed of an ordinary person's tongue.

As he summoned a three-sided yellowish shield from Ryunosuke's side, a huge fireball flew towards Enkidu, and several other chains attempted to attack Tosaka, but were steadily blocked by Maxiu beside him.

Snort - Zheng!

Several more chains flew out from Enkidu's back, and the division of labor clearly broke through Tosaka's fireball, and also blocked Ryunosuke's invisible greatsword, but he himself took a few steps back, obviously not easily.

"Are you an octopus?" Ryunosuke couldn't help but complain.

"......" and "Enqidu" obviously did not have the mood to laugh, glared at him coldly, and jumped down from the city wall, landing right on the head of the Heavenly Bull.

"Next time you won't be so lucky, nosy [Chaldean]." "Enqidu" pressed on the cow's head, and somehow communicated, the red glow in the eyes of the bull of the sky dimmed a lot, and then gave up hitting the city wall, and flew away with the green-haired boy far northwest.

"Hmm......" Tosaka walked to the edge of the collapse of the city wall with his cane in hand, and looked at it, "Is it possible to break the king's control over it by setting up an illusion to destroy it?" And because the attack came from within, it didn't raise the alarm, which is indeed a smart thing to do, but Wang's work looks like it's going to increase again. ”

Speaking of which...... Ryunosuke frowned and pondered: After we came to this peculiar point, did we ever claim to be "from Chaldees"?
