Heroic Spirit Transformation System 2

Chapter 89: Flowers bloom in the underworld (second update)

The Assyrian Empire belonged to the Mesopotamian civilization and inherited the cultural traditions of ancient Babylon. The myths of ancient Babylon were inherited from Sumerian myths. Therefore, the Assyrian empress, Semiramis, was the source of belief in her country.

Ereshkigal, the queen of the underworld in Sumerian mythology, is very familiar.

Semiramis was even considered an incarnation of Ishtar.

However, in front of the real goddess Ereshkigal, Semiramis, who had lost the bonus of the hanging garden, obviously had no elements that could be taken seriously by the other party. The other party did not even release murderous intent towards her, just there

Chat with the young man in white robe.

Fortunately, they have already died once. Although it is regrettable, Semiramis's mentality is still relatively stable and she will not make herself look too ugly. After all, she is an arrogant empress. Even if she does not intend to be captured, she does not want to.

If you quit in too much embarrassment, you must die gracefully.

Bai Lan's attitude is the worst.

Such a young man who usually loves to laugh has never laughed once since he was picked up by Ereshkigal. His face was expressionless throughout the whole process, and he even criticized Semiramis. Both parties looked at each other with disgust, feeling that they had been reduced to this point.

It's the other person's fault.

In the exchange of words, the Assyrian empress finally figured out what was going on.

Because this guy was not strict with his words, he told Merlin all the secret codes to contact her...

Bai Lan's reason was: "I can't lie in front of Ereshkigal, and it's even more impossible with Merlin."

One of the things that Ereshkigal hates is people who have no respect for death but enter the underworld. Bai Lan is undoubtedly hated.

Semiramis sat on the throne, holding her forehead gracefully.

Is this the consequence of meeting a pig teammate? I’m so reluctant...

Bai Lan confidently said: "Even if it is not today, you will fly to Japan later. It is impossible to bypass Japan, right? It will happen sooner or later."

Semiramis: "..."

That makes sense, but why is she still so unhappy? Sure enough, it's because Bai Lan's attitude is too annoying!?

I have only been in the underworld for less than a week. The personality of a good person before has suddenly changed to this. It is really a scary place.

Not wanting to look at his bad former ally, Semiramis looked at his real enemy.

"Really, why are you so obsessed with coming to the underworld? I told you that I can just come by myself..."

Ereshkigal complained.

"You have already taken care of the hanging garden. I can't bother you with anything."

Qiye looked polite and said, but what he was actually thinking was that if it becomes stuck in your field, I don't know whether it can still be in my hands. I have to come down and take a look at it myself.

Ereshkigal didn't know what Qiye was thinking, and thought he was caring about himself, so he said awkwardly: "Yeah, it's not free! Remember to give me a tribute!"

"Hi~~Hi."

Semiramis: "…………"

You guys, if you want to fight, fight quickly and be serious, okay?!

Suddenly, Ereshkigal, who was immersed in Qiye's bickering, finally noticed something and suddenly turned his head to look around: "Poisonous!"

Semiramis, who has used her second Noble Phantasm [The Wine of the Arrogant King (sikerausum)] for some time, actually felt a little relieved - yes, she was the one who gave the poison! You have just discovered it.

Got it!

This Noble Phantasm of hers can impart poisonous properties to both space and magic. Although the effect is greatly reduced due to the decay of the Sky Garden, it is better than nothing.

Qiye coughed: "Well, now is not the time to chat. Let's deal with the enemy first."

Alas, perhaps due to overconfidence, Ereshkigal didn't take Semiramis seriously at all, and in order to maintain his character, he couldn't keep urging Ereshkigal to start quickly... Now he finally

The war can officially begin!

After all, this is Ereshkigal's domain. She started to dispel the poisonous gas. When she heard Qiye coughing, she glanced at him worriedly: "Are you okay?... The underworld is too dark, I can't see you clearly.

His face..."

The underworld in Sumerian mythology is really full of dark elements, such as death, decay and darkness... there is not even light, which is really inconvenient.

Qiye, who was losing a little blood but still had to maintain his integrity, thought for a moment and said, "As for the tribute, how about I give it to you now?"

"Huh?" Ereshkigal, who was thinking about how to kill Semiramis to make his image look better and less cruel, was stunned for a moment, "What kind of tribute?"

"I was in a dream before, but this time I'm in the underworld."

The half-dream demon didn't seem to want to explain. He raised his staff and knocked it on the ground, intending to demonstrate directly.

"The Inner Sea of ​​Stars, the Observation Tower. Telling you from the end of paradise, may your stories be filled with blessings. Only those who are pure and flawless can pass through - [the Garden Favaln that has been permanently closed]!"

Starting from the point where the staff touched the ground, soft white light accompanied by colorful flowers surged in all directions, covering the earth as far as the eye could see in the blink of an eye.

The shadow of the Claustrophobic Tower appeared behind the mage, and the dim underworld was sprinkled with sunlight, illuminating the entire underground world.

For the first time, the mistress of the underworld actually felt the presence of sunlight in the real world instead of in a dream.

This is the effect of Merlin's Noble Phantasm. No matter what kind of darkness or hell you are in, it can make flowers everywhere and sunshine pour down.

Wherever the flower magician Merlin is, it is not hell, but a land full of hope (*Note 1).

"Ahh..."

Flowers bloom in the underworld, and the bright sunlight shines on the wilderness. This is the scene Ereshkigal has looked forward to in countless dreams.

A feeling called happiness surged in her heart.

If that's the case, if that's the case...! As long as that guy stays, her underworld can go on and on and on--

"that's not allowed."

Probably seeing what she was thinking, the half-incubus demon didn't get angry and just said with a smile: "In that case, the humans you like in this world will be destroyed together with us."

The violent and cruel nature was suppressed by the gentle tone of the half-dream demon.

Ereshkigal was a little ashamed and dissatisfied. Her tone became anxious and she changed the subject: "Anyway, in short, I am very satisfied with your tribute. The next step is to give back to the tribute!"

After saying that, she forced her attention to turn to the enemy she didn't actually pay much attention to.

Semiramis's first Noble Phantasm [Hanging Gardens of Vanity (hanginggardensfbabyln)] has been corroded, corrupted and collapsed by the effects of the underworld and can no longer be effective, and her second Noble Phantasm [Wine of the Pride King]

(sikerausum)] has also been purified... Many of her methods rely on the existence of the aerial garden. Now apart from "a little knowledge" of magic, there are no more methods.

And her level of magic is definitely not comparable to that of a goddess from the age of gods and a half-dream demon who is famous as a mage in this enemy's territory.

She sat on her throne, which seemed to have been eroded by time for thousands of years, with its outer layer peeling off and broken. She maintained her dignity, and when she saw Ereshkigal finally looking at her, she said gracefully.

"Come, mistress of the underworld," the empress said, "take me to taste death again."

"Now that you say so..." Although it seemed unreliable just now, but seriously, Ereshkigal respects the enemy very much, "I will not be soft-hearted during the battle, so be prepared!"

The fragrance of flowers accompanied by the breeze gently surrounded Ereshkigal. She had never fought in such a gentle and warm environment, which made her hesitate to raise the gun in her hand.

However, in order to show Merlin her reliable side and respect for the empress who was so calm in the face of death, she decided to release the Noble Phantasm and finish it off in one go.

Ereshkigal took a deep breath and twirled the spear in her hand handsomely with both hands. The magic flow spread all over the surface of the spear, making a strange sound as she waved it.

"There is a sea in the sky, a prison in the earth - my heel is the wrath of Hades! Appear, Fever Temple!"

The pure magic power rushed forward along the spear she poked into the ground, shaking the earth's crust along the way, and swallowed up the Assyrian Empress on the throne.

"——Reflect on it! [Lingfeng Steps on the Tao of Hades ()]!"

Countless purple-red, lightning-gun-shaped magic powers suddenly formed around the empress, and then gathered together towards the center, and finally released all the energy, flashing into a red doomsday-like scene.

This scene lasted for a full seven or eight seconds before the red light dissipated, and the remains of the hanging garden that was originally located in the center also turned into golden spirits and dissipated in the wind along with its owner.

The next second, countless flowers bloomed along the traces of the battle, covering the exposed barren and broken ground with beautiful flowers again.

Ereshkigal stared at this picture for a while, without looking at Merlin, and said directly: "I will be next, right? Only if I leave this world can you leave with peace of mind, and there will be no problems in this world.

?”

"Yes."

The gentle voice of the half-incubus sounded behind her.

"...You guys are really annoying!"

Since you don’t understand feelings, don’t say those words or do those things!

Fortunately she was always awake.

That's right, she was just using this guy because she wanted to see the sea of ​​flowers and stand under the sun...even if it was just in a dream.

Ereshkigal took a deep breath: "Then I'll leave?"

Just as he wished.

A bouquet of golden flowers was handed to her, and the half-sleep demon said: "Farewell gift, this flower looks very similar to you."

Ereshkigal took it silently, her golden hair hanging down, more vivid and beautiful than the color of flowers.

"So, goodbye."

she says.

With these words, the concept of the underworld began to retreat from this world. The cage that trapped Bai Lan first dissipated, then the breath of decay, the shadow of death, and finally the body of the goddess.

The goddess of the underworld disappeared surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers.

Bai Lan coughed and looked up at the stars and moon above the pothole, feeling grateful to have survived the disaster.

It turns out that he can still return to the human world!

However, the white-robed mage looked at him and muttered: "Vongola and the others need you."

Bai Lan: "………………"

It doesn’t matter what Vongola said, I think Mirufiore needs me more!

"People from Vongola will be coming to pick you up soon." The mage said, "Say hello to them for me and suggest you change your ambitions. It's best not to give away experience. You will lose."

"Is this your prophecy?" Bai Lan asked.

"No, it's the fact I saw."

As soon as he finished speaking, the half-dream demon turned into golden particles and disappeared.

Bai Lan clenched her fist and touched the Mare Sky Ring on her hand, feeling that she had not lost yet.

It's impossible to give experience for free! Except for those heroic spirits who don't play according to common sense, how could there be anyone in this world that he can't beat?!

A pair of wings formed behind Bai Lan and she flew out of the deep pit.

Then he found himself surrounded.

"Are you Bailan?" Sawada Tsunayoshi from ten years ago looked at him with subtle eyes and asked someone, "As long as we defeat him, we don't need to train. We can go back to ten years ago, right?"

Probably after getting the affirmative answer, Sawada Tsunayoshi rushed up shouting "In order to have a peaceful sleep!!!"

Bai Lan: "...???"

Stop! He is still in a very weak state——

After the goddess of the underworld saves the world, it is the story of humans saving the world.

It's gratifying, it's gratifying.
