Chapter 733: The Flood of Destruction

Marduk's gaze was cold and unwavering, and the longbow in his hand reflected the sunlight, like a sacred weapon bestowed upon him.

In the distant past, Marduk shot Tiamat with a single arrow.

And the longbow in his hand is the weapon that shot Tiamat in the first place, "Rainwater".

Looking at the artifact in his hand, a trace of fear finally appeared in Jin Gu's eyes.

But soon, he suppressed the fear in his heart, roared angrily, and rushed towards Marduk first.

But soon, the surrounding void once again burst into the primordial fire that Marduk had just released!

It's a trap!

Obviously, the reason why Marduk chatted with Jin Gu was to set up this trap!

And the reason why he summoned this bow and arrow was to attract Jin Gu to rush towards this trap.

The scorching flames scorched the golden skin, and He let out a roar of pain.

But he didn't sit still, and the terrifying magic spread from him in all directions.

A great deal of sea water poured out of Him, and He was a child of fresh and saltwater, and it was easy to summon the sea.

The sea is also not simple, fighting against these flames.

A large amount of seawater is evaporated instantaneously, forming water vapor that floats around.

Logically, in an environment like the universe that is close to absolute zero, the water vapor would have condensed into ice in an instant, but now it is clearly under the influence of the primordial fire.

But Marduk wasn't going to let him out of the flames.

He also raised the longbow in his hand, and a horizontal phantom of a golden bow appeared in front of the bow, forming a cross shape with the bow, surrounded by a circle of ancient arcane runes.

And on the bow, a golden bow gradually appeared.

At the same time, in the cosmic void above them, several golden bows tens of meters long slowly appeared, exuding a strange brilliance like the scorching sun.

Marduk stared at the dragon, the power surging within him, the power of the ancient stars flowing through his veins. He took a deep breath and tightened his bowstring, the arrows glittering in the sunlight.

An arrow was fired, and the bowstring vibrated with a terrifying roar.

The arrow pierced the night sky, leaving a brilliant trail of light, like a meteor galloping towards the dragon, hitting him with precision.

The terrifying force enveloped him and slammed straight into the moon in the distance.

The earth rumbled.

Jin Gu was nailed to the surface of the moon and could not move.

And that's just the artifact's positioning system.

Soon, several arrows that appeared behind Marduk fused together and turned into a golden spear tens of meters long.

At that moment, the spear pierced through the sky and crashed into Jingu.

Soon, the moment the arrow came into contact with Jin Gu, it burst out with amazing energy. The arrow seemed to contain endless destructive power, and Jin Gu roared in pain, his body trembling under the power of the arrow.

After a brief silence, a magical power so terrifying that the pupils of all the dragons present contracted slightly, rapidly spreading to all sides.

Then, they saw the point of impact suddenly begin to spread in all directions with countless red lines.

It's as if an illusory game world has suddenly been eroded by some kind of virus.

These lines spread in all directions, spreading across the surface.

It's not a computer virus, but in a sense, it's similar to a computer virus, it's a "power" that can affect the rules.

The spread of the lines is swift and silent, like the steps of death.

All the dragons were breathing a little stagnant.

Then.

"Boom!!"

On the barren surface of the moon, countless floods gushed out.

Like an angry beast breaking free. The water carries endless power, forming a spectacular fountain in the low gravity of the moon and soaring into the sky.

The flood spread in an instant in the darkness of the universe, turning the surface of the moon into an ocean. The water rippled, and under the cosmic light, it seemed that the entire planet was shrouded in a layer of mysterious power.

As with many myths, Sumerian mythology also contains legends of the Great Flood.

In the distant past, human beings multiplied, and the whole world was filled with noise, like the roar of a bison, so noisy that the gods could not sleep.

Enlil, the king of the gods before Marduk, was so unhappy with this that he decided to unleash floods, droughts, and pestilences to wipe out humanity.

In Sumerian mythology, the three most exalted gods are Anu, Enlil, and Enki.

Anu, revered as the father of the gods, is the embodiment of the Divine. Although his authority in Sumerian mythology was not as prominent as that of the other two gods, he was still regarded as the maker of the cosmic order.

Enlil is known as the lord of the world, the granter of kingship, and the king of the gods who "created the world and brought order to the world". Nipur, where his temple was located, later became the religious center of Sumer and Akkad. Enlil was a violent man who was hostile to humanity and even tried to destroy it three times, most notably for causing the prehistoric Flood.

Enki, also known as Ea, is the god of water, wisdom, and protector of art, science, literature, and witchcraft. His personality is relatively subtle and complex, and his relationship with humans is relatively close.

Enki's compassion for humanity enabled him to impart knowledge to Arahasis about irrigation, grain storage, and medicine, which enabled humanity to survive the disaster.

However, Enlil did not abandon his plan to exterminate humanity. He secretly summoned other gods and prepared to unleash a great flood to exterminate humanity.

Enki learns of this plan and arranges in advance for Utanapizm to build a ship for refuge. When the flood came, Utanapizm and his family, along with various biological seeds, hid in the boat and managed to escape the disaster.

After the flood, Enlil expressed anger at Enki's actions, but Enki explained that in order to maintain the balance of the world, innocent humans should not be completely exterminated, but the remaining humans should be sterilized. At the same time, he also warned that if humans did not believe in gods and fell, then the gods had the right to slaughter them.

This story, in fact, has also revealed the relationship between humans and the gods.

When human civilization develops to a certain extent, the existence of gods will inevitably become an obstacle to the development of civilization, which may be why Gilgamesh appeared later.

Enki, is Marduk's father.

And Marduk overthrew Enlil and became the next generation of god-kings.

The "rain flood" in Marduk's hand symbolizes this world-destroying flood.

In taking over Enlil's rights, he also inherited something from him.

That's a weapon that can destroy civilization. (End of chapter)
