Chapter 190: The Battle of the Godslayer

[Destiny Clay Tablet, a divine tool with the power of destiny.] 】

It's a very simple introduction, so simple that it's maddening. If it weren't for the fact that Zheng Shuanglong had such a knowledgeable girl as Yuki Nagato by his side, Zheng Shuanglong would really throw the Yu disc into the sand and shout: "Pit......!!! ”

"How can I tell if it's related to that god!?" Saying that, Zheng Shuanglong looked at Nagato Youxi with a wry smile, here, only Youxi can know, and may know these myths and legends.

Facing Zheng Shuanglong's gaze for help, Nagato Yuki tilted his head slightly, and explained calmly and softly: "The Fate Clay Tablet, a very important object in Sumerian mythology. ”

"It is a very important artifact of the Sumerian god Enlil, and it has the power of this destiny, and it records everything Sumerian. It is a record of history, a witness to fate, and a supreme divine tool. It sustained Enlil's rule over Sumer. ”

"During the Sumerian period, the god Ann and the queen of heaven Antum were only superficially supreme gods, while Enlil was the de facto ruler, known as 'Pill' (meaning 'Lord'). Enlil is the god of earth and air, the protector of the city-state of Nippur. Possess the godhead of the god of war and the god of wind. The culprit of the Sumerian mythology of the flood was Enlil. He has great power, great mystery, and is the supreme being. ”

"Enlil is the only god who can reach the gods of heaven, he rules over other gods, and he is seen as a model for kingship. Ilir was assimilated to the north of the 'ecliptic pole'. His sacred numeral name is 50. He is the head of the pantheon. It is the 'land of kings', 'king of heaven and earth', and 'father of the gods'. ”

Hearing such an introduction from Yuki Nagato, Zheng Shuanglong felt that Alexander, facing a god king in the first battle, was not an easy thing.

But. Even if it was so difficult, Zheng Shuanglong didn't want to throw away the fate clay tablet. This was what Lady Aisha had asked him for.

Although he may be targeted by God, Zheng Shuanglong, who has already attained enlightenment, will not be afraid of the arrival of a god.

However, this place is already known to God after all. It's better to avoid it for the time being, with a little more time to prepare, and a little more time to understand, the probability of winning this battle will be higher.

Therefore, when Nagato Yuki calmly introduced, Zheng Shuanglong took the small hands of Nagato Yuki and Lihua and walked in the opposite direction to the direction where Lady Aisha left. It may not be very effective, but no matter what, you can always buy a little time.

Nagato Yuxi, who was led by Zheng Shuanglong and moved forward quickly. In uninterrupted, but rather clear words, he continued: "In Sumerian mythology, there are two other gods associated with the fateful tablets, besides Enlil. ”

"The first, Anzu, is in early literature and images. Anzu was a charitable god who lived high in the mountains. Anzu is a symbol of the great god Enlil. It has wings. Stretched above animal symbols that symbolize other gods, this may reflect Enlil's all-powerful power. ”

"In Ubaid's Anzu faith, Enlil riding on a stag is often depicted with the goddess Ninhursaag. In Troll, Anzu had a close relationship with the goddess Ninhursag, the child of Enlil, the warrior, and the patron saint of Lagash. It is preserved in mythological texts and iconographic materials from the early dynasties to the three periods of your. ”

But Anzu was a complex god, and in later literature it was described as an even more troublesome god. The history of Anzu's poetry dates back to the early 2000 BC and tells the story of a bad-hearted Anzu who stole the Tablet of Destiny and was eventually killed by the god Ninurta . ”

"There is an Akkadian seal that represents a bird-man being brought to the great god Enki. It may depict parts of this story, suggesting that in at least one particular tradition, Anzu was a god of both good and evil, and on this plaque, Anzu is rather aggressive towards mountain animals associated with the sun god, and similar scenes are also seen on mosaic shells in Troll, your, and Ebla in western Syria. ”

Speaking of this, Nagato Yuki blinked, paused slightly, and pointed in the southwest direction before continuing: "The second is the god Ninurta who killed Anzu in mythology. ”

Zheng Shuanglong, who got Nagato's guidance, although he didn't know what was in the southwest direction, it was much better than getting lost in the yellow sand. Either way, it's no fun to face a god of great power in a rather unfamiliar desert.

Nagato Yuki, who was obediently led by Zheng Shuanglong to walk, continued to say calmly: "Ninurta, in Sumerian and Mesopotamian mythology, is the god Lagash, also known as Ningirsu. And in early commentaries, he is sometimes depicted as a sun god. Ninurtar often appears with a bow and arrow, a scythe, a sword, or a hammer called Sharul, who in Sumerian mythology had the ability to speak and could transform into a winged lion, possibly the prototype of the later Sharu. ”

"In Nipur, Ninurta, along with his father Enlil and mother Ninlir, was worshipped as evil deities. In other myths, his mother is the god Ninhursag. ”

"In another legend, Ninurta fights Anzu, a monster that resembles a bird, and the Babylonian version tells of Anzu stealing the clay tablets of fate that Enlil used to maintain his rule."

"These three are the gods associated with the Tablet of Fate." After speaking, Nagato Yuki, who had been maintaining the barrier, looked at Zheng Shuanglong calmly.

Listening to Yuki Nagato's explanation, Zheng Shuanglong looked up at the scorching sun and asked seriously, "Except for the three of them, there are no other gods related to the fate clay tablet?" ”

"That's all I know in Sumerian mythology." Hearing Zheng Shuanglong's question, Nagato Yuki blinked and said calmly.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Shuanglong asked seriously: "So, there is a record of the fate clay tablet!" Yuki, do you remember some of the records about the Tablet of Fate? ”

Listening to Zheng Shuanglong's question, Nagato Yuki continued to say calmly: "The prototype of the fate clay tablet is the clay tablet document, and the clay tablet document is a kind of written record engraved on the clay tablet in ancient West Asia. Initially adopted by the Sumerians, it later expanded to a vast area west of the Iranian plateau. The content includes various economic documents, literary works, legal texts and religious texts. ”

Speaking of this, Nagato Yuki paused and calmly apologized: "...... I'm documenting mostly in the sci-fi category. There are not many records of mythology, and there is not a lot of knowledge about the fateful tablets. Didn't help, sorry. ”

Hearing Nagato Yuki's apology, Zheng Shuanglong stopped, reached out and touched Nagato Yuki's hair, and said softly: "No." Yuki doesn't need to apologize to me, Yuki has already helped me a lot, and if it weren't for Yuki, I wouldn't even know the enemy I'm going to face next, which is pretty bad. Thank you very much! ”

"Really?" Looking at Zheng Shuanglong calmly, Nagato Yuki blinked his eyes slightly and said softly.

"Really." Nodding heavily, Zheng Shuanglong looked at the rolling yellow sand around him, the yellow storm that made people lose it. He smiled and asked, "That, Yuki, is there something over there, why are you going that way?" There is likely to be a rather troublesome existence behind us, and if it is a small town or settlement, it is better to avoid it. ”

Let ordinary people suffer from unwarranted disasters, or the kind of unjustified disasters that they have brought themselves, and they are still useless disasters at all. Although Zheng Shuanglong's face is thick, his heart is black. But it's not so shameless.

Of course, if they can weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness to a certain extent and allow themselves to avoid the enemy, then, even if it is a big city with tens of millions of people, Zheng Shuanglong will not be stingy to take a trip.

After all. There are a lot of people in this world, so many that it is surprising, as long as it is not someone Zheng Shuanglong knows and is familiar with, Zheng Shuanglong does not care whether he is dead or alive. Zheng Shuanglong doesn't have that kind of virgin attribute.

Harming others with no value at all, this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to oneself. Zheng Shuanglong was not interested at all.

"Information, ruins, ancient ruins. It may be useful. Faced with Zheng Shuanglong's doubts, Nagato Yuki tilted his head and said softly.

Zheng Shuanglong, who once again took the small hands of Nagato Yuki and Lihua and walked forward, and said softly: "Youxi, you mean, there is a ruin over there, an ancient ruin, a ruin that may be useful for us to get rid of, or defeat the god hanging behind us?" ”

"Hmm." Yuki Nagato nodded.

"Well, it seems that the heavens are endless! I don't know how much of a difference it makes, but being able to weaken the other party by one point is enough to make me satisfied. After all, our opponents are like that! With a firm face, he looked at the faint coercion behind him, the coercion that the transcendent perception could barely sense like a giant beast, and all Zheng Shuanglong's eyes had was the surging battle intent.

Since others can kill gods and achieve such a great feat, since it is not a completely impossible thing, Zheng Shuanglong will not think that he will lose to the other party.

There is great power and great mystery between heaven and earth, and human beings who are puzzled and confused and in awe of this mystery and power, in order to restrain themselves, to understand, to control, and to circumvent, this terrifying mystery and power weaves all kinds of myths, and myths create all kinds of gods.

The gods are supposed to maintain their proper role in their respective myths and make the world run normally, but not all gods are also content to obey their own mythological roles, and these so-called "disobedient gods" will bring disaster.

Whether man made God or God created man may only be known by those who know it, but it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that you are about to face such a disobedient God.

Enlil, Anzu, and Ninurta are the three great gods who may be the enemies they are about to face.

Enlil is the supreme power of Sumerian mythology, the main god with great power.

The sky, the earth, and the sea, among the three major human worships, Enlil alone occupies the priesthood of the earth and the sea, and also refers to the priesthood of the sky, storms, and war, and even the patron saint of the race, with so many priesthoods and divine powers, Enlil's strength is not comparable to ordinary gods.

Although in Sumerian mythology, Enlil's presiding god power was eventually taken over by the nephew Marduk, who killed the monster Tiamat, but in any case, Enlil was once a very good being, but he was not an easy existence to clean up.

However, it should not be Enlil, the former main god.

Although the Tablet of Fate was the god of Enlilvi's rule, with the advent of the Babylonian era, Enlil was replaced by his nephew Marduk, and the position of the main god was taken away, and he had lost his rule over the Sumerian gods. This means that this tablet of fate, which symbolizes the dominion power of the Sumerian gods, no longer belongs to Enlil, who has the priesthood of the earth.

In the mythology of Marduk, Marduk, who took the place of the main god of Enlil, did not get the Tablet of Fate, and the symbols of Marduk were the sun and fire. He is the god of wind and rain, the god of the sun, the god of fire, and the king of the gods.

Anzu is the god of good and evil in Sumerian mythology, he is Lugarbanda, the father of the half-human, half-god hero king Gilgamesh. He is a symbol of Enlil.

In mythology, Anzu once stole Enlil's god of rule, the Tablet of Destiny, and was finally killed by Ninurta, the god of the sun, the god of war, and the god of agriculture. The Tablet of Destiny ended up in the hands of Ninurta .

Of course, Zheng Shuanglong believes that this is a battle in which Enlil was degraded and seized of the position of the main god, after all, Anzu symbolizes Enlil, and why should Enlil steal his own [Destiny Clay Tablet].

In this way, it shouldn't be the god Anzu, after all, the [Destiny Clay Tablet] no longer belongs to Anzu. He or she is not capable of taking the spoils of the victor.

Ninurta, the god of war and agriculture in Sumerian mythology, was associated with the priesthood of the sun god when the Sumerian civilization was replaced by the Babylonian civilization.

Ninurta is supposed to be a steel hero who has the attributes of steel, and in mythology, he often appears with a bow and arrow, a scythe sword, or a hammer called Sharul.

Agriculture draws nutrients from the earth, fire forges steel, and wars slay monsters to achieve heroic deeds. The Tablet of Destiny is his trophy.

Ninurtar has the attributes of an astral spirit, and he represents Saturn. Such a Ninurta is indeed eligible to hold the Tablet of Destiny.

Then, it is determined that the enemy who is chasing after him is this god of the sun, the god of war, and the god of agriculture, Ninurta .

When Zheng Shuanglong finally identified the enemy through a series of analyses, the yellow sand caused by the sandstorm subsided, and Zheng Shuanglong, Lihua Song, and Nagato Yuki finally walked to the ancient ruins in Nagato Yuki's mouth.

The ancient ruins built in worship of Gilgamesh. (To be continued.) )
