612: Thousands of years of loneliness

- The Underworld.

Fujimaru Rika and Matthew, as well as the young Baihua who was being held, looked at it for a moment, this temple that belonged to the ruler of the underworld, Ereshkigale.

"This is the temple?"

"Nothing."

"How can I say that the temple as the goddess of Hades undoubtedly matches the mythological description of Hades, desolate, gloomy, desolate, and lonely. It's really worthy of Hades' Although I want to praise it like this, this place is indeed amazing and shocking enough, but... It's not a sight to be amazed. ”

The expressions of the three were surprised and heavy, with some disbelief.

Among them, Youbaihua is the most empathetic.

As for why this is so?

Because there is really no place in front of you that can be called a temple.

No, there was only a barren plain in front of them, and a fatally strong dead air. If you think about it from the perspective of a magician, the land where such a large amount of death qi and various grievances and other spiritual energy are concentrated can indeed be called a temple. But from the perspective of human beings, the land that can be called a building and empty is a little desolate and lonely.

"There's nothing surprising that the underworld is such a place."

Gilgamesh glanced at a few people, and said without waves: "When the underworld was first formed, no god was willing to come here. But the underworld has a very special and important significance to the gods, and as a result, the newly born Eleshkigal became a victim, was thrown away from the underworld, became a pillar, and dedicated everything to the underworld. As the goddess who manages the undead, she has been here for thousands of years, and has never left even a moment. ”

Isn't this a sad thing?

Hearing this, Matthew's eyes showed deep sadness.

She could understand the feeling of being in one place, but she couldn't understand the loneliness that had been the same for thousands of years.

"The temple is an empty wilderness, and the underworld is a cage with only the flames of the undead... Miss Ereshkigal was confined to such a place, deprived not only of the right to walk, but also of the freedom to see. This kind of thing is too ······."

"Pathetic?"

You Baihua glanced at Matthew with a complicated expression, how could he not understand such a mood.

He was once imprisoned in the cage of concepts, and the same is true, deep in the darkness where space and time are blurred, and the only thing he can do is to observe the earth that he once walked, fought and loved, and then watched everything he protected being destroyed little by little.

Although he was in a different cage and had a different status, in the final analysis, he only experienced ten years, while Ereshkigal survived in this situation for tens of millions of years.

However, this is by no means something that requires mercy.

"Matthew, you can't pity each other. There is an essential difference between God and man, the difference in life, the difference in lifespan, the difference in strength, the difference in duty, the difference in thought, everything determines the clear boundary between the two. Speculating on God from a human perspective, and even showing mercy to God, is no different from blasphemy, put away your arrogance. ”

After the warning, Yubaihua struggled out of Mathieu's embrace, deftly dodging the attack (hug) from Gilgamesh and Fujimaru Rika, and pushed Altair, who was rushing towards him, to prevent the so-called 'proof of loyalty' from dripping on him, and then walked in front of Ereshkigal.

"O ruler of Hades, my name is Bevera Arthur Doyle, and let me begin with apologies, respect, and hostility. I apologize to you for my family, and I commend you for being a goddess and worthy of respect. And in the end, I inform you of three things. ”

"Wh... What? ”

Ereshkigal looked a little nervous, especially after hearing that Altaïr was a family member of Young Baihua.

And Yu Baihua, looking at the familiar face, let out a long sigh.

"One, please free the soul of Gilgamesh, who is needed by Uruk now. Second, I will take care of my dependents during this time, and I will take her away later. Finally, it has been determined that you are one of the Three Goddesses Alliance, and what I want to say is, stop your actions, if you don't agree, we will crusade against you. ”

"Huh?"

"Mr. Bai Hua?"

"Bai Hua, you..."

"Hahahahaha, that's right, this king also wants to ask about this matter, Ereshkigale, why did you join the Goddess Alliance?!"

Fujimaru Rika, Matthew, Altaïr, and Gilgamesh reacted differently, either shocked, worried, or agreed.

On the other side, Ereshkigal suddenly fell silent and slowly lowered his head, causing the air in the underworld to change suddenly, and a biting cold current erupted violently around the goddess.

Seeing this, Altair's heart sank, and he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.

"Elle-chan, calm down, he just can't speak." After speaking, he turned to Youbaihua and persuaded: "Elle-chan is actually not what you imagined, she didn't want to destroy humans, just to better protect humans, that's why-"

"I know, after seeing the scenery of the underworld all the way, I know it all. But, Altair, do you think what she's doing right now? Or do you think necromancy is what humans should be? ”

"But..."

Altaïr wanted to say something, but was speechless.

How could she not understand that although Ereshkigal wanted to protect humanity, what he could do had been turned upside down, and in the end it would definitely be the result of a dead end?

It's not like she hasn't been persuaded in the past three months, but it has had little effect.

"If you don't want to make a move on her, just watch quietly, even if you are my dependent, I will not force you to do what you don't want to do. Or maybe it doesn't hurt to protect her and be my enemy, how about it? You Baihua said without sparing.

"I... I can't do it, I can't do it to you. Altaïr hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside in silence.

At this time, Ereshkigal spoke.

There was disappointment and pain in his voice.

"You, you, are you going to take her away from me?"

For Ereshkigal, the sky was dark, the sun could not reach the earth, the soil could not nurture flowers, and Hades was like her temple, empty. She is the ruler of the necromancy, but she cannot understand the words of the undead, the underworld is all to her, but the underworld is empty, therefore, she has nothing.

The only thing she can take out her hand is the meaning and obligation that the underworld has given her, the loneliness and sadness accumulated over thousands of years.

And the belief and determination that have always been adhered to.

Therefore, Altair, who can talk to herself and dare to make intimate acts, will forgive the other party even if she does something excessive. Even if the other party approaches her with bad thoughts, even if the other party is a hopeless pervert, Ereshkigal will still admit in her heart that it is her friend.

But now, the man in front of me—

He wants to take away her only friend, and he wants to deny her meaning and merit.

He's going to destroy everything about her.
