At the beginning, unlimited skill tree!

What kindness was shown during the duel?

If the opponent challenges you with the determination to die, then accept the challenge.

But if it is an unenlightened person, save his life.

Because of this, Tesca took advantage of him.

But she didn't reflect on it at all. "

Being taken advantage of by Tesca...?

Who is Tesca?

Everyone was a little confused.

Then they saw the vision in front of them change, and at the same time, an epic poem was narrated in the text version of the epic.

Death in South American Mythology,

It is the end of growth and maturity, and at the same time heralds a new birth.

It was a world that was always repeating destruction and creation, a new world that was constantly growing towards an ideal form.

In a region called Aztec mythology,

The gods will create the next world after the old world is destroyed.

And that destruction is not the death of the world in a simple sense, but refers to another deeper kind of new life born from destruction.

One of the gods who spent his life explaining that truth was named Quetzalcoatl.

The name "Quezal" means a bird with beautiful feathers, and "Coatl" means a snake.

Quetzalcoatl is the image of a "snake with wings".

The snake symbolizes her physical body, the human body, and the feathers symbolize her spiritual world and wisdom.

legend--

Quetzalcoatl is one of the four children of the creator gods Ometeotto and Omesivato.

But Quetzalcoatl had a bad relationship with his brother Tezcatlipoca, the god of the night sky and the god of discord.

After the universe was created, humans worshiped gods, built temples, and held living sacrifices.

But Quetzalcoatl doesn't like living sacrifices. It hates human beings bleeding in order to worship themselves, so it decided to come to Toyan City.

When people are about to perform human sacrifices, it immediately descends to earth to stop and prohibits humans from holding similar sacrifices again.

In addition, it taught people various crafts and techniques, such as growing corn, writing and inventing calendars... skills that only gods could master in the past.

As a result, the city of Tojan began to prosper, but Quetzalcoat's brother, Tezcatlipoca, couldn't stand this behavior, so he wanted to expel Quetzalcoat out of the divine world and designed it to indulge in worldly pleasures. , seize the opportunity to make moral mistakes and destroy the city.

So Tezcatlipoca got Quetzalcoat drunk and made him commit the law of lust.

When Quetzalcoatl woke up early the next morning, he felt humiliated by his mistake, so he went to the Atlantic coast, lit a bonfire on the beach, and burned himself to apologize.

Quetzalcoatl, as a benevolent god who guides human prosperity,

In the end, he was defeated by the god Disctripoca and disappeared from the Aztecs.

Only the prophecy of his return was left.

Therefore, the Aztecs mistook the Spanish invaders who came later for the "returning Quetzalcoatl and his army", and eventually perished.

Countless scenes flashed before people's eyes, including beautiful and majestic snake gods with wings,

There is a giant (Tesca) who is arrogant, thinks highly of himself, firmly believes in the supremacy of gods, and is known as the manipulator of human destiny.

They are like the two poles of the world,

Just like in ancient Persian mythology, the two main gods of light and darkness, good and evil, are in tit-for-tat opposition.

And in these pictures, people also saw...

The god of the night sky who is high above and controls the life and death of mankind, but has become a sun-like existence, resisting the arrogant god of the night sky and illuminating the existence of mankind!

It was a completely different appearance from the terrifying jungle goddess in people's minds.

At that time, Quetzalcoatl was still male, which was the same as the original gender of Quetzalcoatl in the information given by Roman and Merlin.

Corresponding to that myth, everyone also witnessed another period of history,

As a Toltec monarch, a human named Quetzalcoatl was framed by Tezcatripoca and had an affair with his sister; he regretted it afterwards and exiled himself.

However, several subsequent Aztec kings still took Quetzalcoatl as their name.

This scene is connected to everything,

Combined with the previous discussion in the temple of Uruk, the South American gods were considered to be "possessed by humans" in order to carry out their activities.

Everyone naturally regarded the human monarch as Quetzalcoatl, which was originally believed to be male.

I'm afraid that the current Quetzalcoatl is the form of one of the many women who were later entrusted with divinity by Quetzalcoatl.

But no matter what, there is no doubt about that noble temperament and character worthy of human trust.

The sights that flashed across the field of vision gave people a deep sense of shock.

Although it bestows favors on mankind, it is not simply mercy and compassion;

Rather, it is like the sun, guiding people forward,... teaching humans to pursue their own path, and respecting the meaning of human existence.

He will also be willing to accept punishment like an ordinary human because he made a mistake as his human incarnation (the monarch in people's eyes).

After all—

...There are some rules that are intolerable and unacceptable in the eyes of humans, but humans have never dared to use them to force the gods they believe in to do the same.

Whatever the gods do seems to them to be harmless.

In some mythological systems, there are many main gods with chaotic relationships.

There are a few gods who can set an example like this. When acting as human beings, they will definitely practice human principles.

Regardless of whether this behavior has meaning in itself, whether it is correct for gods and humans.

But no one can say such malicious words to humans.

Not to mention that it taught mankind all kinds of knowledge that originally belonged to gods.

Even if Quetzalcoatl loves humans deeply! People believe it too!

At this moment, everyone was shocked by the fleeting epic scene.

Walking with others -

Such a picture, which is deeply reflected in people's hearts, is indescribably touching!

At this time, people can’t help but think,

In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the original Enkidu... also accompanied the king and the humans on the plains of Mesopotamia in this way.

This is the story between gods and humans, weapons made by gods and humans!

Chapter 956: Someone who cares and takes care of others must not be Ishtar!

Once waited for mankind tenderly,

God and man coexist peacefully and build prosperity together——

It is an era of happiness that only exists in ideals and fantasies.

At this moment, people are thinking a lot,

He recalled the heavy words that Ai Lei once said.

The goddess who couldn't bear to see human suffering and was willing to endure everything alone.

Perhaps there are indeed selfish and arrogant beings among the gods who regard the fate of humans as playthings.

But we must not ignore those gods who have shown gentleness to mankind, selflessly burned themselves to illuminate the path forward for mankind, and provided warmth...

Hmm~...Everyone was speechless and fell into silence.

At this time, the scene in the field of vision has returned to the city of Ur, and the Leopard Man is still shouting: "She will be looked down upon by other goddesses like this.

Sister, I am so worried. "

"Could it be that the casualties were actually zero...?" Guda.

Merlin: "Well, the king also received the same report. Leaving aside the soldiers who were taken away,

There were no casualties among the soldiers involved. "

Hearing this, people lowered their heads one after another,

I felt puzzled, shocked, and dumbfounded not knowing what to say...I hesitated to speak.

In that case——

What's the point of her doing this?

Why does the once good god now obey the so-called mother's orders and stand against people?

Merlin had previously deduced that the only person on this earth who could be called a mother was Tiamat, the true mother goddess of creation.

But in the Three Goddess Alliance, apart from Gorgon, I don’t know where they got Tiamat’s power.

There is no appearance of Tiamat, the creator god!

People who can't figure it out are in trouble...

but--

Although the goddess saved these soldiers, she did not let them go back. This was also a problem.

When the Uruk soldiers in Ur City complained that it was this leopard lady here who had been preventing them from leaving.

Leopard Man quits——

One after another, they were all living sacrifices, which shocked people.

Didn't it mean that Quetzalcoatl hated living sacrifices and specifically abolished the plan of priestly gods for human beings?

As a result, after listening carefully to the description of the Leopard Man, people discovered that the so-called living sacrifice was actually a reorganization of the army to fight for Quetzal Coatl.

The Quetzalcoatl seemed to be preparing something.

"Huh?!" The noble young men couldn't help but laugh,

Isn’t this just robbing people directly from Uruk? After working on it for a long time, there is no such thing as invading and killing human beings!

It couldn't be that Quezal Koatl started to keep an eye on Uruk because the troops in the cities in the south had almost been replenished before.

Of course the soldiers of Uruk were not happy to see this, and they said they would go back and fight with everyone.

Leopard Man: "Okay, okay. Let's put it this way. You are happy in Ur, too?"

Although the residents have little fighting spirit, this is a different matter.

Some people will work hard, and some people will not work hard.

No matter what era, this will not change.

But it is precisely because of this that mankind can prosper for a long time.

It would be too scary if everyone worked with the consciousness of death. "

Everyone: "..."

They couldn't help but want to ask this leopard man whose side he was on.

Why are you always speaking for Quetzalcoatl?

Although that goddess seems to be a little different from what people imagined at first...

Um……

The leopard man said that these words were taught to her by Quetzalcoatl.

That goddess seems to not only have the memory of a god, but also inherits all the memories of being the 'King of Men', so she also has excellent military command skills.

This gradually began to overlap with what people had seen before, the side of Quetzalcoatl as a monarch.

It seems that a long time ago, Quetzalcoatl has always been personally fighting with humans on the front line.

Putting aside their previous prejudices, after everyone got to know this god again, they found that she was indeed a good god.
