Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Brief Silence Before the Finale

Piloting Vimona back to the mountain and landing on the battle platform, Gilgamesh and Enki saw from a distance that it was empty.

No sooner had they landed than the figure of Hassan stepped out of the shadows and came in front of them.

"Welcome back, two."

"Did everyone else go to the underworld?" Gilgamesh asked, after a cursory look around.

"Yes, everyone has been transferred to the underworld for safety, and I am here to wait for the two of you."

"The underworld." Enqidu's expression was a little complicated and said, "I didn't expect that I would enter the underworld again. ”

"No need to do that, my friend."

Gilgamesh patted him on the shoulder and said, "This so-called underworld, in fact, is just a name for the underworld, don't care so much, let's go." ”

"Hmm."

The two of them walked towards the entrance to the underworld with Hassan, but halfway through, Gilgamesh suddenly had a bad premonition.

Driven by this hunch, he used his clairvoyance to look at the future in the near future.

Then what appeared before his eyes was the image of the Abbif Mountain shattering, and finally only a large rock ball remained.

Enkidu, who was walking forward, noticed that Gilgamesh beside him suddenly stopped moving, and his expression was a little dull, but his eyes were extremely attentive.

Now he knew that Gilgamesh was looking into the future with his clairvoyance.

When the other man's expression gradually softened, he asked, "Jill, what do you see?" ”

Gilgamesh did not answer His question immediately, but reached out and rubbed his eyes before saying, "Not a good thing." ”

"Oh?"

Enkidu was about to ask something, but Gilgamesh walked past him and walked briskly forward.

"Alright, my friend, let's go to the underworld as soon as possible, and there should be an answer when we get there."

"Okay."

Then several people quickened their pace and walked forward, and in a short time they passed through the corridor and entered the interior of the underworld.

Upon entering the underworld, Gilgamesh saw everyone gathered around what resembled the Great Grail.

On the platform that resembled the Great Grail, Elle stood with her gun in her right hand, crimson magic gushing out from her side, while her left hand rested on Ishtar's ride, Anna.

But there was no figure of Ishtar.

Scanning everyone present, Gilgamesh noticed that many of them were not there.

At least Asclepius, who had impressed him, was not there.

At this moment, Dongfang Shuoyin's figure walked out of the crowd and came in front of Gilgamesh.

"Welcome back, King Gilgamesh."

"This king is looking for you, Dongfang Shuoyin."

"Leave other matters aside to the king, and tell the king about the current situation first."

Gilgamesh glanced at Elle on the stage, then turned his gaze to the person in front of him.

"Okay. First of all, it's what Elle is doing right now, and she's currently strengthening the existence of this world. ”

"Now that we are in this underworld, in fact, it is only the name of the underworld, and it is not a concept of another world for this world."

"Therefore, we need Elle to continue to strengthen this underworld, for the concept of a world, so that when this world collapses, we can still rely on this small underworld to continue to protect ourselves."

"Well, then what's going on with that Maranna."

"It was Ishtar who lent his power to Elle, and with the power of the Mistress of Heaven to allow this little underworld to fly."

"And what about her?"

"I'm lying in the infirmary right now."

……………

Asclepius' infirmary, in Ward 1.

The door to the hospital room was pushed open, and Gawain and Lancelot, who were lying on the bed, saw Tristan walking in with a cane.

Now his entire left leg is in a cast, which was broken during the battle with Matthew.

The potion that Asclepius had given them was a mixture of stimulants, painkillers, and healing agents.

Its greatest use is that it can quickly restore the wounded to combat effectiveness, rather than healing people's wounds, although it has a healing effect, but this is only an emergency treatment.

Therefore, when the battle is over, the bed should be laid, and the plaster should be cast.

"Yo, Tristan, your treatment is over."

Lancelot waved his right hand, which was bandaged into a long baguette, and greeted Tristan.

Of course, his left hand and Gawain's hands are also like this.

"Well, although the treatment process was very uncomfortable, in terms of results, I was able to remove the cast in a day at most."

"Really? That's really envious of you. ”

Gawain glanced down at his baguette hand and said, "We're this, the doctor said it would take two days." ”

"Although these two days will be very sad, compared to us as human beings, if we suffer to this extent, I am afraid that we will only be crippled for the rest of our lives." Lancelot comforted him.

"Indeed." Tristan sat down on his hospital bed and hung his legs. "If we humans really suffer such injuries, I'm afraid we can only pray to the gods to heal us."

In ward 2, Sakura walked into the room on a drip.

"Huh? Sakura, you're back. ”

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, Rin Tosaka, who was lying on the bed, immediately sat up.

"Sister, I'm back." Sakura smiled at her and sat down on her hospital bed.

Seeing that she was back, Rin Tosaka asked with concern, "Sakura, what's your situation?" I think you weren't hurt at all, right? ”

"It really doesn't hurt." Sakura curled the ends of her hair and said, "Actually, it's my artificial nerve that has a problem." ”

"What?!" Hearing this, Rin Tosaka's expression changed instantly, and she became very flustered, but she quickly calmed down.

"Sakura, since Asclepius asked you to come back, it proves that you're okay."

"This ...... I can't say it's completely fine. Sakura hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I've been mentally prepared for this for a long time. ”

"The artificial nerve that Dr. Asclepius prepared for me is a human-sized being."

"But this time, I became a mimic of the goddess Parvati, and the god-level magic power really made these artificial nerves unbearable."

"So, Asclepius he replaced you with a god?"

"No, he's too busy to make that, so he's just trying to help me with the symptoms of nervous overload."

"That's right." Rin Tosaka nodded, and then she remembered something.

"So Asclepius, what is he doing now?"

"When I left, he was preparing to operate on his seniors."

"Oh, that's it, let's do the operation on Wei Gongjun."

"Say ......" Sakura suddenly looked like she wanted to say something.

"What's wrong? Cherry. Rin Tosaka asked suspiciously.

"Well, hasn't she finished her medicine yet?" Sakura lifted her finger and pointed in one direction.

Rin Tosaka looked in the direction of her finger and saw Mordred, sitting alone on the side, with a solemn face.

"Uh...... This, according to her, seems to be quite bitter. ”

Sitting alone in the corner of ward No. 2, Mordred, who was not afraid of heaven and earth in the past, was now frowning because of a bowl of soup and medicine.

She was also injured, and the moment she was blown by Matthew, her internal organs were shocked, although the injuries were not very serious.

But it was still very uncomfortable to keep dragging it out without treatment, so she came to look for medicine, and Asclepius gave her this bowl of bitter medicine.

It is said that this is the result of his research on ancient Oriental medicine, and the exact effect of the medicine is uncertain, but it is definitely useful.

In the kitchen of the clinic, Dongfang Yunfan is skillfully handling the ingredients and medicinal herbs, and he is preparing nutritious meals for the sick at the request of Asclepius.

After all, both patients and doctors are in great need of nutrition, and Asclepius learned this from the East.

When Dongfang Yunfan was boiling porridge, a person walked in.

"You're here."

"Came to me? Or are you attracted by the smell of food? Enkidu. ”

Dongfang Yunfan turned around with a big spoon and saw a beautiful person who made people feel like a spring breeze at first sight.

"It's both, the aroma of these foods is really strong."

Enkidu nodded, and did not shy away from admitting it.

"In that case, do you want to try it?"

Dongfang Yunfan took out a bowl of porridge from the pot and handed it to Enqidu.

The overall porridge is not thick or thin, and there are lotus seeds and red dates in it, which looks delicious and nutritious.

"No, whether it's me before or now, eating is an unnecessary behavior."

Enki shook his head and refused.

"But you might as well try it."

Dongfang Yunfan insisted: "Sometimes, people don't eat to wrap their stomachs and supplement nutrition, but because eating will fill them with a sense of happiness. ”

"Happiness?" Enkidu looked down at the bowl of porridge and didn't take it.

"Forget it." He finally shook his head and said, "I didn't come to you for this. ”

"Oh? What is that? Dongfang Yunfan put down everything in his hand and waited intently for his next step.

"I'm here to ask you if there's a backup plan at the moment."

"Ask me this? Don't you worry about the goddess of the underworld? ”

"I was created by God, but I don't really like God."

"Really? Let me tell you, this is the best solution at the moment, but it is not the only one. ”

"Then tell me the spare ones."

"You're going to do it?"

"There's this idea."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ Good. ”
