Public Executions From King Duma

In the real world, people who saw this scene couldn't help but start discussing.

"666, as expected of Ishtar, this method of opening the gate to the underworld is so unique."

"Cute, I want to..."

"No, you don't!"

"Speaking of which, if it is so simple to open the passage to the underworld, wouldn't it mean that if we were in the age of the gods, we could also easily enter the underworld?"

"I'm overthinking it. This was obviously opened by Ishtar's power. If it had been anyone else, a hole would have been just a hole."

"Look, after Ishtar took Tachibana and Mashu in, the aura of death in the pit began to disappear. The world is fixing this bug."

"I see, this is the authority of God..."

"Well, what's the reason why Merlin can't enter the underworld? From the look of him, he seems to have great concerns?"

"It should be related to Tiamat, right?"

"By the way, since the gods of the Sumerian mythology system are returning to their divinity, doesn't it mean that Elle will also become a cruel god?"

"Isn't this something that has been confirmed? Otherwise, how could Gilgamesh be killed suddenly?"

"Ah? What does Merlin mean by this? Gods are different, and there will be no change even if divinity returns? Guys, what does this mean?"

"Stupid! This means that unlike that crazy woman Ishtar, Little Angel Aire will not have any personality changes even if she returns to her divinity. This means that Little Angel Aire has the same personality as we have seen! "

"Is this the little angel Airei?"

"Isn't Airei a little angel?"

"That's right..."

"Hey~~So, is this a different experience between gods? Is Ereshkigal really such a good god? Isn't he too cute?"

"Cute? It's a pity that our outlook on life is different from that of humans. Their way of saving humans is to let them all die and then sleep in her underworld forever. What's the difference between this and being in a vegetative state?"

"Ah... this... is indeed a bit unbearable..."

In the light screen image, the camera switched back to Fujimaru Tachibana and the others.

Mashu and Fujimaru Tachibana were thrown to the ground roughly by Ishtar, causing a bit of pain in their butts.

Fortunately, both of them were strong enough, so they only felt a little pain, but there were no other problems.

After Ishtar looked around, he clenched his fist and said happily: "Very good! It worked! We successfully smuggled into the underworld!"

This smuggling was used well, making people in the real world complain, and it also made Fujimaru Tachibana ashamed: "Ishtar, why do you always act like this..."

When Ishtar heard this, he immediately became unhappy and retorted with a blushing face: "What? Anyway, we have successfully reached the underworld. Does it matter what method we use?"

As Ishtar said these words, the camera moved to Mashu's side. The girl looked around and found that this was a very wide underground world that extended in all directions. There were black rocks everywhere, and many seemed to be natural. The stone pillars formed support the upper part to ensure that the underground world will not collapse.

Below, it was pitch black, with a gray and misty abyss. There was no end in sight, and no one knew what was below.

The place where Fujimaru Tachibana and the others are now is formed by a rock. The rock passage stands above the abyss. It looks like a naturally formed road, but considering that this is the underworld, we know that this is most likely the handiwork of the gods. .

Moreover, although there is no light at all here, Fujimaru Tachibana and the others can see the place relatively clearly, but it is just a little dim, which is very magical.

Ishtar also gave an explanation for this. This was because of her power. She brought the two down and gave them the blessing of the goddess, allowing them to move around in the underworld while also See clearly what is going on in the underworld.

Otherwise, the two of them would not only see pitch black, but their night vision would be useless.

Moreover, it will be eroded by the breath of the underworld for the first time, and will attract a large group of the dead.

These words made Fujimaru Tachibana involuntarily think of the last time she accidentally fell into the underworld. At that time, she met the dead before she entered such a deep place. The dead were full of jealousy and resentment towards her, a living person, and wanted to kill her on the spot. Drop XXOO and make her a member of the wraith.

At this thought, Fujimaru Tachibana nodded thoughtfully.

As this scene unfolded, the screen switched, and in the empty, dimly lit hall of the underworld, there were many golden birdcages that looked like canaries.

However, what is imprisoned in these birdcages is not birds, but balls of blue will-o'-the-wisps.

Ereshkigal was surrounded by these ghost fire bird cages, sitting quietly in the center like a duck.

Then, at this moment, Ereshkigal seemed to have discovered something and raised his head, seeming a little confused and at a loss.

Obviously, such a scene is definitely not to show Airei's cuteness, but as Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, has discovered that outsiders have invaded the underworld.

At this moment, Chaldea was also investigating the situation of Fujimaru Tachibana and the others, and soon found that although they could confirm the situation of Fujimaru Tachibana and the others, they were unable to contact them.

The underworld, as a special space of the dead, isolates the possibility of communication between the two worlds.

Fortunately, the situation of Fujimaru Tachibana and Mash can be confirmed, and Chaldea is not worried about safety issues.

After Fujimaru Tachibana and the others entered the underworld, under the guidance of Ishtar, they followed the path they were on and gradually encountered some ghosts and will-o'-wisps.

These are all the souls of the dead. Under the guidance of the power of the underworld, they naturally line up and follow the road of the underworld towards the depths of the underworld.

When Fujimaru Tachibana and the others looked at this situation, they felt eerie and inexplicably terrifying.

Moreover, there is a kind of pressure that makes people feel very heavy.

Because these souls are human beings who died at the singularity, and human beings are constantly being led into the depths of the underworld, which means that people are constantly dying outside.

This made Fujimaru Tachibana and the others involuntarily speed up their pace.

After passing through some more passages and the rest of the road began to wind down, I saw that all the soul fires were locked in long golden birdcages.

In each birdcage, there are 2-3 souls.

These souls are very quiet, as if they have fallen into a deep sleep, losing all perception of the outside world.

Such a situation naturally attracted the curious observation of Fujimaru Tachibana and others: "Are these the dead souls in the singularity?"

Ishtar snorted: "Isn't this obvious? In the world of the Age of Gods, the underworld was underground in the Mesopotamian plain, and the souls who died on this land would be summoned by the underworld and come to this land. The kingdom of the dead.”

"In the Age of Gods, the sky, the earth, and the underworld were all on the same fabric. It was just relying on the power of the gods' authority to separate these different places as if they were cutting open different dimensions."

Hearing this, Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu were thoughtful, and then the girl cast her eyes on the soul fire in the cage, and couldn't help but wonder: "So, Ereshkigal just keeps the dead souls like this?" ?”

Ishtar snorted: "As you guessed, after the singularity was generated, all the people who died on the Mesopotamian plain entered the underworld and were placed like this by the goddess of the underworld."

"The souls imprisoned inside are not even allowed to disappear."

Having said this, looking at those souls, his eyes became deep, "That guy Ereshkigal will put the human souls he likes in a cage and keep them around for tens of thousands of years."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiu couldn't help but shed a cold sweat: "Why is this like this? Are all the people who died at the singularity like this?"

Ishtar crossed his arms across his chest: "That's right! The number of these souls is much more than before. After the Three Goddess Alliance was established, many dead people on the ground fell into the underworld after death."

"If we only look at the number of souls, Ereshkigal's current power is already the most powerful among the three goddess alliances, and he can completely establish a kingdom of the dead."

At the end of the story, everyone complained and had doubts.

Ishtar actually didn't know much about this biological sister. After all, the two sides were completely indifferent. The two were like the control group in the novel. One had a wonderful and beautiful divine life experience, and the other was sad and lonely.

Well, Ishtar is the one in the front, and Ereshkigal is the one in the back.

It is impossible for Ishtar, who combines countless beauties and thousands of favors, to understand Ereshkigal, who has been rejected since birth and was forced to become the goddess of the underworld and suffer eternal loneliness.

However, although she does not know her biological sister, Ishtar still has a basic understanding of the underworld.

For example, Gilgamesh should be trapped in the deepest part of the underworld by Ereshkigal, otherwise Gilgamesh would not be trapped, and that is where Ereshkigal's palace is.

To get there, you need to pass through seven gates, which directly correspond to the legend of the underworld in Sumerian mythology.

Many people in the real world directly read the stories about the underworld in Sumerian mythology at this time, and some people soon came up with popular science about it.

In Sumerian mythology, when the dead enter the underworld, they must first pass through seven gates. Each gate has a gatekeeper. The gatekeeper will ask the dead several questions to confirm whether they are qualified to enter the next gate.

The seven gates are the Sun Gate, the Moon Gate, the Dashan Gate, the Back Garden Gate, the Mountain Forest Gate, the Jade Gate and the Yama Gate.

After passing through the seven gates, you will arrive at the palace of the goddess of the underworld for the final judgment.

The goddess of the underworld will evaluate the behavior of the deceased during life, and will give the deceased corresponding treatment and status according to the situation during life. The soul of the deceased can only eat dry dust and drink muddy water in the underworld. There is no light and joy, only darkness and sorrow.

The soul of the deceased cannot return to the earth, unless there are special reasons or divine intervention.

Basically, in the Sumerian mythology system, there will be no good life after death, and there will be no afterlife. The main theme is a literary system of suffering.
