In 2600 BC, the early Sumerian dynasty was established, and the city-states became the main body of this era.
In this era, the system of one city being one country was everywhere. Some slave city-states fought with each other for a long time, and they dominated one after another. It was not until the middle of the 24th century BC, when the Umar King conquered the southern city-states, that the Sumerian state was established, and the capital was set in Uruk.
And this so-called Umar King was the protagonist in the oldest heroic epic of mankind, the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh.
He was the oldest king in human history, as well as the oldest hero in human history. People of the later generations called him the Hero King. He was the most unique and legendary of the three heroes of Sumeer. He was deeply worshipped and praised by the Sumeer people.
If it was said that heroic spirits were existences that evolved from historical and mythical heroes, then the Hero King was no doubt the first heroic spirit, the most ancient hero.
His Spirit was comparable to the greatest king in Egyptian history, Osmandis. In terms of experience, he was even more powerful than Osmandis. Even throughout the history of mankind, there were only one or two who could rival him. He could be said to be one of the strongest Heroic Spirits, the one who stood at the pinnacle of heroes and kings, and almost no one could match him.
Now, the era that Rozen and others arrived at was the era where the Hero King lived.
There were many legends about him, and Rozen remembered all of them clearly.
The Hero King was originally created by the gods to restrain the power of the human race after the overpopulation of the human race. They combined the Royal Family and the Goddess to create a wedge that the gods used to restrain the human race. The gods regarded it as the "Heaven's Wedge" that was used to restrain the human race.
Therefore, Gilgamesh was actually a being that was half human and half divine, possessing an extremely high divinity that was two-thirds divine and one-third human, as well as the perspective of both gods and humans.
The young Gilgamesh used to be a highly respected and idealistic ruler. He had qualities that were better than anyone else in the world. He was tolerant, just, and virtuous, which was why he was loved and respected by the people.
Until he entered his youth, Gilgamesh suddenly decided to create a storm to discipline human beings, not just as a king who managed human beings.
In order to judge the human race, he wantonly fought and accumulated wealth, collecting all the treasures in the world in his own treasure vault, only for himself.
Facing such a Gilgamesh, in order to bring him back to their side, the gods created a warrior to fight against Gilgamesh, Enkidu.
So, Gilgamesh and Enkidu met on the ground and launched a mythical and epic battle, but there was no winner.
After that battle, Gilgamesh, who met for the first time, became friends with Enkidu.
With his friends by his side, Gilgamesh guided Uruk on the right path and gave it prosperity, creating a flourishing civilization. However, he was still an unreasonable tyrant who did whatever he wanted.
Later on, the goddess Ishtar proposed to Gilgamesh, but was rejected. In her rage, Ishtar wept in front of her father, the god Anu. She also released the strongest divine beast, the Bull of Heaven, into the human world. It ravaged the earth and harmed humans, bringing terrible disasters to the human world.
Gilgamesh and Enkidu worked together to fight against the Bull of Heaven, so that the earth was spared from the flood and Ishtar's ambition failed.
However, after his defeat, Ishtar petitioned the gods, causing Enki, who was a weapon created by the gods and could not defy them, to die of exhaustion.
Gilgamesh was sad and regretful, thinking that it was all because of him, and fell into great sorrow and shadow.
After witnessing Enkidu's death, Gilgamesh also realized that one day, he would also die like Enkidu, so in order to seek eternal life, he embarked on a journey to the underworld, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, experienced all kinds of hardships, and finally met an old man named Nabistin in the underworld, and obtained the Spirit Herb of Immortality.
However, Gilgamesh didn't eat the Spirit Herb directly.
As the son of a human with flesh and blood, he finally decided to bring the Spirit Herb of Immortality back to the city.
Unfortunately, on the way back to Uruk, when Gilgamesh was bathing in a spring, freeing his spirit and body from all restraints, a snake stole the Spirit Herb, shed its skin, and slipped away after obtaining a new body.
Gilgamesh witnessed this scene and came to a sudden realization, coming to a conclusion.
"At the end of everything, there will be nothing left in my hands."
Just like that, Gilgamesh, who had seen through the distant future from the very beginning, believed that he did not need to live forever and should be praised as a hero by the later generations. Having fulfilled his duty, Gilgamesh returned to Uruk, shed his tyrannical ways and steadily governed the country. Finally, with the world-famous title of Virtuous King, he welcomed the end of his life.
It was also because this king rose up against the gods, believing that the world no longer needed them. From this era onward, humans and the gods parted ways. The Mysteries began to fade, and the gods gradually left the land. The Age of Gods came to an end, and it was only in the first year of the Common Era that the Age of Gods came to an end.
In other words, at the end of the Age of Gods, Gilgamesh was the center of everything, and the Uruk city he ruled was also the center of this singularity, similar to the Holy Capital of the sixth singularity.
"Now, we have just arrived at this singularity, so we don't know the situation in this singularity yet. So, we can go to Uruk first. There will be things we want to know."
It was with this in mind that Rozan Can wanted to go to Uruk.
Because the Age of Gods was too far away, the concentration of the Mysteries in this era was far from comparable to the modern era. With the hastily prepared Reiki transfer, it would take some time for Chaldea to connect to this side of the Age of Gods.
This was something that Chaldea had already expected. So, he had already entered the map of this era into his communicator, so that Rozen would know the location of Uruk.
Just like that, Rozen brought Matthew and Attila all the way to Uruk.
However, on the way, Rozen realized that something terrible might have happened in this era.
Swoosh!
As the tri-colored lightsaber flashed, a roaring monster that pounced on them was cut in half by Attila's War God's Sword. It died on the spot, its carcass and blood splattering all over the ground.
Rozen looked around with a solemn expression.
Taking a closer look, there were corpses of magical beasts lying on the ground all around them.
This made Attila frown, and Matthew was even more shocked.
Rozen let out a sigh of relief and asked.
"How many batches of monsters has this been?"
Rozen asked.
"The 34th batch." Matthew replied in a low voice, "This is the 34th batch of monsters. There should be at least a few hundred monsters in total."
Yes.
Along the way, Rozen and his group were continuously attacked by monsters.
This was definitely not normal.
"Although this is the Age of Gods, and it would not be strange for there to be Gods and Mythical Beasts, and it should not be surprising for monsters to appear frequently, but there are too many of them."
If there were monsters like this everywhere, how could humans survive?
So, Rozen was certain.
"Something terrible must have happened in this singularity."
Rozen pondered.
At this moment, Matthew spoke up.
"There's a city in front!"
Hearing this, Rozen came back to his senses and looked over.
With one look, Rozen's expression changed again.
