"Chi!"
"Chi!"
In the boundless sky, two streams of light flew past at an extremely fast speed, one in front and one behind. They approached the other end of the horizon bit by bit.
Rozen, who was covered in dazzling fire powder and his black Haori fluttered in the wind, flew forward while looking at the land below.
Over there, there were ant-like demonic beasts scattered in every corner of the land, but they were densely packed and moving in groups.
Looking at such a scene, anyone would think that the land of this era had been occupied by demonic beasts.
As for the humans, not even a trace of them could be seen.
On the contrary, Rozen had seen several cities along the way, but without exception, all of them had been destroyed and turned into ruins. There was no sign of life at all, only demonic beasts moving around. It looked like doomsday, and it was frightening.
Rozen confirmed such a scene and thought to himself.
At this time …
"It's really surprising. You are obviously a human, but you can fly as fast as me. It's the first time I've seen a human like you."
Hearing such words that sounded both emotional and admiring, Rozen came back to his senses and looked to his side.
He saw Enkidu's whole body bathed in the wind, flying one after the other with Rozen, looking at him with eyes full of admiration.
Rozen responded with a smile.
"Is this really surprising?" Rozen said casually, "In Kanzaki, this level shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
After all, this era was the beginning of human history, and it was the last fantasy era of mankind. Any mysterious appearance was not surprising.
Therefore, Rozen really thought that this level shouldn't be surprising.
However, this was Rozen taking it for granted.
"Indeed, this is an era where even if the gods suddenly descended and caused havoc on the land, it wouldn't be surprising, but that's only limited to the gods. Humans are humans after all, and it's not allowed to touch the realm of gods and fly freely in the sky."
Enki had been telling stories like this all along.
"Generally speaking, in this era, those who can master the mysteries are directly related to the gods. For example, the witches and priests can obtain magic knowledge from the gods. The witches in Uruk can also use astrology skills from the gods. Then there are those like Gilgamesh who are half-human and half-god and are born with power. Otherwise, even in the era of the gods, humans will only be able to wield weapons to kill their enemies."
In this era, although mystery was not as weak as it was in the modern era, it was still in the hands of a few people.
Therefore, most of the humans were ordinary humans. This was what Enki wanted to say.
"Although I don't know what the future will be like, to me, the existence of a human like you who soars in the sky like a god is an incredible thing." Enki said with a deeper meaning: "However, perhaps it's because you have such a special characteristic that you could become the last master of humanity. In order to save humanity, you came all the way to this era."
Enki's evaluation of Rozen seemed to be very high. It was unknown whether or not he could see that the reason why Rozen could soar in the sky like this was all because of the Golden Crow.
As a divine weapon, the Jade Rabbit aside, if it's the Golden Crow, Enki should be able to more or less sense its existence, right?
In that case, the reason why Rozen could soar in the sky like this was actually the same as what Enki said, it was all because he was directly related to the gods.
Of course, Rozen could also fly by himself, but since he had the Golden Crow to do it for him, there was no need to waste mana.
Thinking so, Rozen shook his head.
"Why don't you tell me about this era first?" Rozen said to Enkidu: "This era should be facing a very bad crisis, isn't it?"
"That's right." Enki's expression became serious as he looked at the horizon in front of him and said: "Mesopotamia is indeed standing on the brink of destruction. Nearly 80% of the cities have been destroyed. The survivors are either unaware of the current situation, or are huddled in Uruk to fight against the approaching destruction."
Then, what was the source of the destruction?
It was very simple.
"Gods."
Enki said with an extremely calm tone.
"Three goddesses have appeared on the surface and attempted to destroy humanity. They even took away 60% of the land of Mesopotamia."
Hearing this, Rozen narrowed his eyes.
"Gods?" Rozen said to Enki: "Although this era is indeed the era of the gods, but if I remember correctly, with the beginning of this era, the gods and humans have already gone their separate ways. The gods should have gradually left the surface. Even so, there are still gods?"
"That's right." Enki said without hesitation: "The gods are everywhere, and they won't easily let go of the humans who disobey them. Coupled with their temperamental nature, they have brought many disasters to the earth in the past. Because of this, Gilgamesh, as the Heaven's Wedge, began to hate the gods. He thought that humans didn't need the gods, and there was no room for the gods to intervene in his rule. Therefore, he announced his farewell to the gods, just like separating heaven and earth, separating the worlds of humans and gods."
At this point, Enki added another sentence.
"That's true, but this era is just a declaration of farewell to the gods. The reason for the decline of the gods is even earlier, right?"
That made Rozen confused.
"Even earlier?"
Rozen muttered.
"That's right."
Enki nodded in agreement and began to elaborate.
"The main reason for the demise of the gods is because it went through three stages."
"The first is the decline."
"The first is the farewell."
"The first is the opportunity."
"The opportunity hasn't come yet, but from your description, it should have happened in a certain era, leading to the complete disappearance of the gods after the Common Era. For now, it's still something that will happen in the future."
"The decline occurred about 10,000 years ago. At that time, the prehistoric civilization created by humans ushered in a terrible disaster."
When such words came out of Enki's mouth, Rozen suddenly felt it.
He felt that the servant beside him, whether it was the breath or the magical power of his soul, was in disorder.
Rozen couldn't help but be startled.
However, before Rozen could react, Enkidu's explanation came again.
"It's said that the human civilization was extremely prosperous at that time, and the gods existed in the world as spirits of nature. They didn't even have clear divinity and divinity like they do now. Their nature was quite ancient, and it was equivalent to the primitive form of all the gods."
"That era was the most prosperous time for the civilization of the planet, and it was also the most prosperous time for the gods. Whether it was humans or gods, they were far more powerful and meaningful than they are now. It was far from what the current human history can imagine."
"Until one day, a great disaster suddenly came. Both human civilization and gods were destroyed and disappeared from the earth."
"From that time on, the mysteries of the earth seemed to have been invaded and absorbed, and it declined to the extreme. Only then did the new human history, new civilizations, and gods with a clearer division of labor come into being."
Enki's explanation made Rozen clearly feel that the emotions of the servant beside him were very unstable.
This made Rozen frown and fall silent.
