Chapter 216 Ereshkigal And Ishtar, Who Is The Most Beautiful Goddess?
Kusa underground, the underworld.
Under the leadership of Ishtar, the group continued to go deeper into the underworld.
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the surrounding scene and sighed in surprise.
"I didn't expect that there is an underworld underground in Kusa."
Matthew beside him was watching vigilantly, in case of a sudden attack.
After hearing what Fujimaru Ritsuka said, he also wrote a letter expressing his agreement.
"It's not a realm from another dimension, but a real land connection."
Although most magicians look down on modern technology, they have to admit that technology does have its own unique features and can thoroughly study many mysteries.
Just like the existence of the underworld and heaven.
Let’s not talk about whether the underworld is really deep underground. After all, human beings’ current penetration of the earth is only at the very shallow surface.
But the sky is different. With the help of high technology, human beings have even set foot in the universe.
But no so-called existence of heaven was found.
So, magicians think.
Even if the so-called heaven and underworld really exist, they should be in other planes, or hidden by magic, and are not connected to the real world.
But the scene before them was somewhat beyond their expectations.
The underworld is so openly hidden under Kusa!
When Ishtar, who was leading the way, heard this, she said it in a matter-of-fact tone without looking back.
"Of course."
"In the age of gods, whether it is heaven, earth, or the underworld, they are all on the same scroll."
"Otherwise, why do you think there are so many legends about breaking into special realms such as the "297" underworld?"
"That's right."
The two people behind were stunned.
"Speaking of which, Miss Ishtar, you have gone deep into the underworld in legend. No wonder you are so familiar with this place."
"Is the underworld also like this when you came here last time?"
Matthew looked at the scene next to him and continued to ask.
At this moment, they were on a steep path leading to the depths of the underworld.
Apart from this trail, there is a bottomless abyss. If you accidentally fall into it, you may not even be able to find the body.
However, because there are flowers and plants planted around the trail, it doesn't seem so scary.
Matthew even saw cage-shaped shelves erected on both sides of the road, with vines climbing up the shelves and blooming flowers.
"I didn't expect that the goddess of the underworld loves flowers so much, and even specially prepared so many flower stands to let the flowers grow!"
Matthew couldn't help but sigh.
She felt that maybe the humans on earth had misunderstood this goddess of the underworld.
Judging from the many flowers along the way, Ereshkigal might be a kind-hearted goddess that is different from what we imagined!
What she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch, Fujimaru Ritsuka also leaned forward to watch, a little curious.
"I advise you not to touch it randomly. That thing is not a flower stand for flowers to grow."
Ishtar on the side said suddenly.
"Not a flower………………?"
"Yes, that is the cage that Ereshkigal prepared to imprison the souls who came to the underworld!"
Under the confused looks of the two people, Ishtar slowly explained.
"The human souls placed there are not even allowed to disappear. They can only be imprisoned inside for thousands of years for the goddess to appreciate."
"Eh?!!"
The two of them were instantly frightened, and quickly stood up and backed away, not daring to get close.
They couldn't help but ask.
"Then why now......"
"Who knows?"
In response, Ishtar shrugged and said casually.
"Perhaps the goddess found a better ornament than human souls, so she let go of the human souls that were originally inside, so that the cage used to imprison the souls has now become a flower stand for flowers to grow?"
"By the way, maybe what was inside was the chief witch and the people of Kuza who died of weakness,"
Ishtar thought.
She felt that she had guessed the reason for the inexplicable resurrection of human beings from the dead.
"Aix**..."
Both Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka looked unhappy.
Were those human souls actually placed here before?
When I looked at the cage again, I didn't feel that it was beautiful at all, as if it was some kind of soul-absorbing cage.
"Okay, we've arrived at the first difficulty."
Ignoring the complicated emotions of the two people behind him, Ishtar suddenly stopped.
"*......?"
The two looked up in confusion.
I found that the original path had been cut off by a gate that appeared out of thin air at some point, with various flowers growing on both sides of the gate. ,
The originally terrifying gate to the underworld has been transformed into a flower gate, not to mention, it’s quite beautiful.
At least Matthew liked it.
"On the road to the depths of the underworld, there are seven gates, and this is the first."
Ishtar explained.
Immediately afterwards, she stepped forward curiously, looked at the greatly changed Shimen, and thought.
"Sure enough, not only has it changed on the way here, but also the stone gate has changed? Really, what did that guy from Ereshkigal transform the underworld into?"
"And they are all flowers, so this taste is a bit too bad!"
Ishtar complained dissatisfiedly.
I feel like the taste is like that of an elderly woman. Apart from flowers, there are still flowers. It is simply rubbish!
Although in terms of age, Ereshkigal is indeed an old woman.
"Ishtar! You are really arrogant!!!"
A cold, deep and terrifying voice suddenly appeared, with a cold kindness.
"Master! It's Ereshkigal!"
Mashu quickly put up a shield and protected the Master behind him.
But Ishtar seemed quite calm about this. The underworld was the garden of Ereshkigal. From the moment they stepped into the underworld, they were completely under Ereshkigal's nose.
So there is absolutely no need to avoid it.
Ishtar took the initiative to step forward and asked.
"Did I say anything wrong? If it were me, the underworld would be much more beautiful than it is now!"
That is, Ereshkigal, a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. If she were the one to transform it, she would definitely inlaid the underworld with beautiful gems everywhere.
This dark stone door also needs to be changed into gold!
Resplendent and dazzling.
That is Ishtar’s dream residence!
"This is the only hope a money-worshiping goddess can have with her head only for money!"
Ai Lei retorted disdainfully.
Money, what use is that kind of thing to goddesses like them?
Nothing compares to the underworld that she and her chat group friends worked so hard to decorate and transformed one pit at a time!
Only Ishtar, a money worshipper, likes money so much!
"Master, the relationship between the goddess Ishtar and Ereshkigal seems to be pretty good. They are like good sisters."
Mashu approached Fujimaru Ritsuka and expressed his opinion.
It seems that their journey to the underworld may not be as difficult as imagined?
However, her words immediately met with unanimous rebuttal from the two goddesses.
Ishtar turned around suddenly, and Ai Lei's voice appeared together.
"Ha?! Who is a good sister to this gloomy goddess/money worshiping goddess!"
"..."
Faced with the oppression of the two goddesses at the same time, the poor little eggplant could only shut up in aggrieved manner.
But the relationship is really good!
Little Eggplant feels aggrieved and dares not speak out.
"Hmph! Anyway, Ishtar! Just go through these seven doors honestly, and then come to me in a mess like last time!"
Ailei was obviously caught off guard by what Mashu said and didn't know how to continue.
The relationship between her and Ishtar is quite complicated.
In the end, he could only put aside these words and run away quickly.
"EX-......"
Noticing Ailei's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a little confused, and she turned to look at Ishtar.
"Miss Ishtar, have you been to the underworld before?"
Doctor Roman's voice came through the air, and he temporarily browsed through the information on Babylonian mythology.
"According to Babylonian mythology, after conquering Mount Elf, the goddess Ishtar went deep into the underworld, but..."
"ah!!!"
Ishtar was about to go crazy, so she quickly interrupted Roman by shouting and changing the subject.
"Let's take a look at the problem at hand. If you want to see Ereshkigal, you must first go through seven doors like this..."
Behind them, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other, and they both saw the same thoughts in each other's eyes.
It seems that it was a very painful past that Ishtar was unwilling to even talk about.
They wisely chose not to ask any more questions, and then looked at the gate of the underworld in front of them with confusion.
"It's a difficult problem, but isn't it just a door? It doesn't look like there's any mechanism or anything like that."
Ishtar didn't answer, but silently took out two gems and threw them towards the door.
The two gems collided in the air.
"Peng——!"
In an instant, powerful magic burst out from the door, and the two precious gems around his waist were shattered into pieces.
"As you can see, although there seems to be no danger, as long as you try to force your way through, the Gate of the Underworld will launch a counterattack."
"When I first went to the underworld...no, it was nothing!"
Ishtar, who almost spilled the beans and revealed all her dark history, quickly changed her story.
"The only way to pass through this door safely is to answer the questions asked by the Gate of the Underworld correctly."
The moment Ishtar finished speaking.
The strange sound of the gate to the underworld also sounded.
"Answer...Answer..."
"O living beings who have fallen into the underworld, answer the question of how their souls exist!"
The cold voice seemed to come from the depths of the netherworld, carrying a soul-trembling coldness that made Fujimaru Ritsuka and others look solemn.
Ereshkigal is indeed a very scary goddess.
Of course, this is not the case in the ears of Lu Yuan and others.
Deep in the underworld.
"Hahaha!"
"Ai Lei's voice sounds so interesting! Answer it~ Answer it~~~"
Waves of laughter rang out, and the girls in the chat group were laughing so hard that they hugged their bellies and kept laughing.
They were all amused by Ailei's voice just now.
Gabriel, a guy who didn't care about his image, even rolled on the ground.
Even Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"puff---!"
"Ah! Even Lu Yuan, you laugh at me like this!"
Ai Lei, who was next to him, turned red and looked confused.
She has a thin-skinned character to begin with, and it is already shameful to pretend to be a scary goddess in front of everyone.
In the end, these people actually laughed at her!
She wished she could find a piece of land and just dig in!
"Sorry, sorry, because Ailei is really cute like this." 5.9 Lu Yuan laughed and said without sincerity.
no way!
Seeing that Ai Lei is so cute, but she insists on lowering her voice and pretending to be a scary goddess.
It’s so much fun!
Ailei couldn't help it anymore and started talking to everyone.
"Ah! It's true! If you laugh again, you can do the dubbing yourself!!! 17
"Sorry, sorry, we stopped laughing, you continue, you continue..."
Only then did everyone stop laughing and put their hands on their mouths, indicating that we have received professional training and will never laugh.
Signing for Ai Lei to continue.
Ai Lei finally suppressed her shame and continued to communicate with the gate of the underworld.
At the same time, in front of the gate of the underworld.
Ishtar also reminded the two people who were in a daze.
"Here comes the question of choosing one of the two."
"The gate of the underworld is a fair and rational gate that inquires about the good and evil of the soul."
"Ahem!"
Ailei cleared her throat, lowered her voice again, and her cold voice returned.
"Then you are a sinful man!"
"The standards of beauty seem to vary widely, but they are actually absolute. Black beats white [earth beats sky]."
"In that case, who is the most beautiful goddess, Ereshkigal or Ishtar?"
Ishtar: "Huh?!!"
Ishtar was stunned.
"Wait a minute! This is different from the previous one! What's the problem!!!I"
