Chapter 993: Prologue to the End and Beginning (7)
ββBC.2655ββ
Tiamat, is one of the two great creation gods in Sumerian mythology.
According to legend, the world was originally a void, with only Tiamat, which represents "salt water", and "ApsΓ»", which represents "fresh water", and it was agreed that Tiamat would create life, and Abozu would design the living environment of life.
Because they don't know what kind of life to adapt to what environment, they have tried countless times, and those who survived were divided into "monsters" and "gods" according to whether they were rational or not.
Abuzu generously - perhaps lazily - gave the authority of the world to the "gods" and made them gods of natural phenomena such as the earth, springs, fires, storms, thunder, the sun, the moon, etc., but these natural gods were not satisfied, and took advantage of the weakness of Abozu's authority to raise the banner and defeat him and seize the authority to "create the world."
Tiamat silently accepted the fact that she could not make a decision to help either because the gods were created by her, equal to her children.
However, the gods of nature, who had been given the authority to "create the world", were still not satisfied, because as long as Tiamat continued to create life, even if the success rate was not high, there would always be new gods who would compete with them for power, so these nature gods turned to Tiamat to attack him, trying to seize the authority to "create life" to ensure that no new gods were born, and that new life would always be inferior to the gods.
Finally utterly disappointed, Tiamat unleashed her full power to "create life", creating eleven powerful monsters in the opposite direction of the gods' template to fight against many nature gods.
As a result, Tiamat was defeated, but the authority to "create life" was completely annihilated, leaving new life to grow and emerge spontaneously.
The gods of nature, who wield the authority to "create the world", split Tiamat's body in two, turning into heaven and earth, and sealed her soul in the "non-existent" [imaginary space].
After the advent of the human race, they each sought out the city-state to become their guardian deity, forcing the humans to worship them, and ruled for nearly a thousand years, during which time they repeatedly fought against each other to seize the authority of the other gods for funβuntil the humans began to declare war on the gods as they had done in the first place.
The first unfortunate was the god of the south wind, who was torn by a mortal named Apada and lost his "south wind" priesthood and could no longer fly, and the god of the sky, Anu, took Apada for trial and examined it repeatedly, but found nothing.
When there were more and more such things, the gods were shocked to discover that any god whose authority was taken away would lose all the authority he had taken away as long as he lost to mankind, and that it was not taken away by human beings, but disappeared out of thin air, as if it had been taken back by heaven and earth.
And just when the gods were thinking about withdrawing from the human world, the man who planned to tear down all the "gods" from the altar appeared-the king of Uruk, [Gilgamesh].
Fortunately or unfortunately, the authority of Ishtar, the patron goddess of Uruk, is beauty and love, wealth and war, all of which will not be deprived, so although she lost to Gilgamesh a few times, it has no effect, and thus slightly misleads the judgment of the young king of Uruk.
Until the alliance of the Three Goddesses was established, they began to attack Uruk.
ββββ
"So, Mother, what priesthood are you?"
Young Gilgamesh asked the goddess Ningsun.
Yes, of course, all those myths and histories are told by Jill's mother.
Although Ryunosuke went to the underworld to determine the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, he couldn't kill him directly, not only because Uruk and the Persian Gulf were separated by the rainforest of Quetzalcoatl in South America, but also because the mess after defeating Gorgon needed to be cleaned up and he was understaffed.
So, after reporting the incident to Gilgamesh of Tosaka and Caster, Ryunosuke and Matthew followed Gil Jr. to visit his mother.
"I'm just an ordinary god without a priesthood," Goddess Ningsun said with a smile, "Even if there is, after losing to your father, it has disappeared." β
It seems to be common in mythology that ordinary people find trouble with the goddess and end up marrying.,Myths in various places have similar episodes.,Ryunosuke, who was listening, secretly complained.γ
Even, the previous "Nergale" also had this plan, wanting to defeat the goddess of the underworld according to the mythological record and then take advantage of the situation to make trouble, but he didn't expect that the current goddess of the underworld was a servant and was directly killed.
Just like the two Gilgamesh are like fish in water in Uruk, the goddess of the underworld returns to her hometown and is not something that others can shake, but in this case, where is the original goddess? And that strange and familiar black fog......
"What if I really challenged the gods to end the god generation like those two me?" Young Jill still doesn't hide his emotions a little, and his ruby eyes show a look of worry.
"Hmm...... Probably from an ordinary goddess to an ordinary old lady," as Ryunosuke guessed, Goddess Ningsun didn't care about this matter: "You will have to come and see me more when the time comes." β
"If the gods become ordinary people, you can live in the temple of Ishtar, and just drive that guy out to herd sheep." Young Jill replied casually.
"I'm not going to herd sheep!" Ishtar rushed in straight through the door: "If you let me herd the sheep, I'll kill them all!" β
Ryunosuke glanced out the door, and saw the chief priest Siduli standing there with a helpless face, obviously Ishtar had already arrived, but he didn't know how long he had been listening.
However, this goddess is not concerned about the possibility that she may lose her divine power and become a mortal, but she is very opposed to herding sheep?
Well...... She is probably true love for Gilgamesh.
"What happened?" Youngster skipped Ishtar and asked directly to Siduri, who was outside the door.
"Another king, please go up to the southeast wall at once, there is a strange movement there." The chief priest bowed his head slightly, and then answered.
"Reconnaissance work?" Youjir raised one eyebrow, nodded to Ning Sun, and walked directly out of the gate that Ishtar had crashed open, and then took out a skateboard and flew into the sky.
"Wait for meβ" Ishtar followed closely with her great bow.
"Senpai?" Matthew looked at Ryunosuke.
"There's no way, our car can't fly," Ryunosuke said goodbye to Goddess Ningsun and walked out to his car: "Let's go up to the city wall and take a look." β
ββββ
There is no doubt that it is indeed an anomaly.
Ryunosuke first appeared at the location of this peculiar point, the rainforest that was constantly approaching Uruk, and now it was suddenly split on both sides, making way for a road to the Persian Gulf.
I had learned from the goddess of death that Leif, who was pretending to be the god of plague, was heading to the Persian Gulf, but he certainly didn't have the face to let Quetzalcoatl, who loves Mexican wrestling, make his debut, so the conclusion is obvious - Quetzalcoatl is making way for some "something" to come out of the sea.
Don't Tiamat really wake up by Leif, right? There's no reason, she should be happy to see the gods of nature and humans fighting each other now.
What's more, is the imaginary space so easy to come out?
Ryunosuke looked at the Persian Gulf from afar, and he didn't see anything special, but he could distinguish Younggir and Ishtar in the sky.
He took another look at the overall situation, turned his face to Mathieu, and said, "In any case, Leif is the purpose of our trip, as well as the 'Enkidu' and the 'Heavenly Bull' who are hiding, if they succeed in summoning Tiamat, they are likely to show their flaws, so I think it's time to go to the beach to help, don't you think?" β
"Well, I support the decision of my seniors." Matthew tightened the grip of the shield in his hand.
Ryunosuke nodded, and with a turn of the steering wheel "jumped" off the city wall, and at the same time, at the same time, the entire body of the car turned a translucent pale green.
Although it is possible to ask the nearby Uruk soldiers to help rappel down, the speed is too slow and eye-catching, and the method of "virtualizing" in mid-air to sneak into the imaginary space, fall into the ground and then "resurface" and then "solidify" can be said to be fast and hidden.
Poof, whew-
With a few exclamations from the city walls, Ryunosuke drove along the edge of the forest towards the Persian Gulf.
I have to say that Ryunosuke's judgment was quite accurate, just as he passed through the half-divided rainforest and could already see the waves on the surface of the sea, there was a wave in the direction of the Persian Gulf that was enough to shock the soul.
[Giant Shadow, Descending from the Sea of Life (AirΔvataγ»Kingsajz)!] γ
At this moment, the originally sparkling sea in the distance suddenly became pitch black and viscous, as if the waters there had instantly turned into asphalt, and then an incomparably huge human head with two horns slowly rose from the surface of the sea.
The horns were blue-green curved sheep's horns, and a long dark purple hair was scattered, and her face looked like that of a rather delicate girl.
"Huh...... This face ......"
Ryunosuke was in confusion as his head continued to rise, revealing the parts of Tiamat's body.
The asphalt-looking black mud had not been stained on Tiamat's head, but it had wrapped around her body tightly from her shoulders and neck, changing shape with the height of her water, and finally transformed into a silk dress with plush shoulders on the surface of the huge woman's body, completely black and red, and Tiamat stepped on the land, with a pair of delicate high-heeled sandals on her feet.
I have to say that this outfit is not bad taste...... If their owners are not sixty meters tall.
"Isn't this Miss Sakura Makiri?!" Matthew called out the vague doubt in Ryunosuke's heart before.
From the moment he came to this peculiarity, Ryunosuke felt very strange, not to mention how similar Prime Minister Tosaka and Tosaka Tokitomi were, those leopard people were completely the appearance of Fujimura Taiga, and the chief priest Siduli turned out to be exactly the same as Lady Tosaka and Aoi Tosaka, plus Ishtar and Rin Tosaka, whose appearance and personality are almost identical, it would be strange if no one in this world was like Sakura - but I didn't expect it to be Tiamat.
"[Fishing ββββ! When Tiamat came ashore, he put his hands to his lips without hesitation, and let out a roar of unknown meaning in the direction of Uruk.
Boom Boom!
The ground in the sonic path exploded violently in an instant, leaving only a massive depression that clinged to the edge of the rainforest.
There was no movement on Uruk's side, and I don't know if it was a missed hit or someone stopped it.
"[You, you, unexpectedly, yet, deceitful, negative, beautiful, Du, Sha! Tiamat, or the giant Sakura Makiri, said as she stooped down and grabbed a boulder from the ground and threw it far away at Uruk.
Countless golden rays of light flashed, shattering the boulder in the air.
"[Small, small, of, living, thing. Tiamat walked slowly but surely in the direction of Uruk, and with each step she took, the coastline behind her drew closer inland.
Medusa's words...... Ryunosuke parked his car in the rainforest and watched Tiamat walk by, before he began to think about what he meant, could it be that he meant "Gorgon"?
Speaking of which, although "Gorgon" is full of anger and has a hideous expression, Rongzi is indeed very similar to "Medusa" who has met several times.
From this point of view, Leif's plan is really one link after another, even if he fails all the way, he still accomplishes the ultimate goal of the plan, 'Awakening Tiamat'.
Shout! Shout! Boom!
Naturally, Youngster and Ishtar were not idle, constantly attacking Tiamat to attract her attention, and finally succeeded in getting her feet in the direction of "Kuta".
"[If it has always been Leif who has been borrowing Tiamat's power before, then she must not dare to approach the giant goddess when she has awakened, we just need to find it! Yard quickly sketched a picture in the air of a green-clad and green-hatted Leif confronting Enkidu and the Celestial Bull at a lighthouse near the coast: "[He has lost his ability to confuse his mind and is being besieged by them!] γβ
"Very good, let's go!" Since the surrounding area was almost submerged by the sea, Ryunosuke dived directly into the imaginary space with a dozen steering wheels and drove towards Leif's position.
"Oh, calm down, calm down, you should know that you were created to destroy Uruk, right? Isn't the goal about to be achieved in this situation? What does it matter if you are controlled a few times? Even when surrounded by Enkidu and the Bull of the Sky, Leif did not change his face.
The Bull of Heaven was the size of a calf at this time, and Enkidu's eyes were no longer golden, but soft green.
"I agree with you, Mr. Nergal," Enkidu's chains fluttered, "so you don't mind being 'controlled once' and going with us to the Goddess?" β
Squeak squeak - poof!
With a strange metal car suddenly appearing, Ryunosuke leaned out of the window and stabbed Leif through the back with a sword: "Both, if you want to capture the target alive, you must at least seriously injure it, right?" β
"[Whew! You're all going to die! γβ
Lef's body swelled suddenly, turning into a huge black pillar of red eyes, and ricocheting the armored car, Enkidu, and the Bull of the Sky all away.
