Enki naturally didn't know what happened to Rozen.
Enki just continued to explain.
"Probably only the gods know what happened at that time, but the initial decline of the Age of Gods began at that time, and the era of the gods gradually faded away."
Enkidu's voice rang out slowly.
"The gods of Mesopotamia may want to continue the era of the gods in their own unique way. So, in order to keep humans and gods together and prevent the growth of humans from leading to the mysterious decline, they created a king who was a hybrid between a god and a human, who was expected to be the Heaven's Wedge."
That half-human half-god was the Hero King, Gilgamesh.
However, Gilgamesh's actions were contrary to the mission given to him by the gods. Not only did he not help the gods to control the growth of humans, but he also ruled the humans and gave them the power to prosper.
Because of Gilgamesh's resistance, the gods of Mesopotamia lost their power one by one and disappeared from the earth.
From that time on, the gods were no longer there.
They ended their duty and disappeared from this world, went to a higher dimension, and watched over this world as the illusory gods.
"This is the era, in your words, the end of the Age of Gods in 2600 BC, the end of the Age of Gods, and the time when the gods disappeared."
Enki's voice became low.
"From then on, the gods would only leave a small trace in the human world. If nothing goes wrong, this trace would completely thin out in about a thousand years. Soon, it would be replaced by a legend in people's consciousness until it completely disappears. Therefore, even in this era, logically speaking, there shouldn't be an active divine body."
That was why Rozen asked Enki if there were still gods in this era.
Even if the Age of Gods was in the end, even if there were traces of the power of the gods everywhere, it should be impossible to meet a living god.
The gods have become gods, just like the heroes have become spirits, it was impossible for them to appear on the earth for no reason.
But …
"Human reason is burning, and this crisis seems to have summoned the three goddesses of the three pillars, allowing them to descend in this world."
Enki pointed at the magical beasts that could be seen everywhere on the ground.
"These magical beasts came from one of the goddesses. They are the children of that goddess."
Upon hearing Enkidu's words, Rozen finally raised his head.
"Goddess of Magical Beasts?"
Rozen couldn't help but ask.
"Could it be Tiamat?"
"Tiamat."
He was one of the gods of creation in ancient Mesopotamian mythology.
In Mesopotamian mythology, the gods were born from Abozu, who was freshwater, and Tiamat, who was saltwater.
However, as her children, the Gods later rebelled against her original father, Abozu, and gained control over the world. Tiamat calmly accepted the actions of her children, but she was also persecuted by the Gods. Lamenting and in a daze, she gave birth to eleven magical beasts and fought against the Gods. In the end, she was defeated and died. Her corpse was split into two by the Gods, and each was used to create the world. That was how the human world was born.
This was a ceremony for the creation of the world, the great work of the Gods.
As the center of the ceremony and the Goddess who created everything, Tiamat was regarded as the Mother of Life, the origin of the ocean. At the same time, because she gave birth to eleven magical beasts that could rival the Gods, she was also known as the Goddess of Magical Beasts.
Enkidu's words made Rozen think of this Goddess first.
If it really was this Goddess, then it would be troublesome.
After all, she was one of the highest Gods in Mesopotamian mythology. Not only was she the God of Creation, but she was also the mother of all Gods. Going against her was probably more terrifying than going against Solomon, the King of Magic.
As a God-forged weapon, Enkidu naturally knew how terrifying Tiamat was, and he shook his head as he spoke.
"Whether the other party is Tiamat or not, we have yet to receive confirmation. All we know is that the Three Pillar Goddesses of the current world have formed an alliance. In order to wipe out the human race and wipe out the human race in the future, they are using their own methods to ravage Mesopotamia. Among them, the biggest force is the Goddess of Magical Beasts."
The Goddess of Magical Beasts created by the Goddess of Magical Beasts spread all over the earth, destroying one city after another, killing one human after another, and turning the earth into what it was now.
The other two Goddesses were also killing humans, stubbornly removing them from the earth.
"In order to resist the invasion of the Three Goddesses Alliance, the Sumer Kingdom led by Uruk built a line of defense, and under the leadership of Uruk King, they have been resisting for half a year."
This surprised Rozen.
Although it was Kanzaki, and it was led by the Hero King Gilgamesh, it was a miracle that a human kingdom could resist the Three Pillar Goddesses Alliance's invasion for half a year.
But that might be the current situation of Kanzaki.
Humans were neighbors to the gods, and they had endured all kinds of disasters and tests brought by the gods. It didn't seem surprising that they were so tenacious.
The problem was …
"Why do the Goddesses want to destroy humans?"
Matthew's voice came from the air, and her voice was full of incomprehensible emotions.
However, Enkidu remained indifferent to all of this.
Because …
"That's what God is."
Enki used a short sentence to define the concept of God.
Unfortunately, the weight of this sentence was not small.
After all, wasn't that the reason?
"God is temperamental."
"God is unpredictable."
"They can turn the world upside down because of a small matter, and they can also benefit mankind because of a small matter. But in essence, for the gods, human beings are just labor. The Mesopotamian gods also created human beings to create something that could replace their work."
"For the gods, human beings are indeed objects to be protected, but not objects to be invested in. Whether it's prosperity or decline, it all depends on the gods."
"Just on this point alone, King Gilgamesh is the same. He believes that he should decide the prosperity and decline of the world. Perhaps it's because of this that the Hero King rejected the gods, using his royal authority to deny the authority of the gods?"
For some reason, Enkidu said that as if he was mocking the gods.
"The disaster this time might be the result of the goddesses' tolerance towards the rebellion of humans reaching its limit. That's not for sure."
At this point, Enki's tone suddenly changed.
"In fact, this time, in addition to being entrusted by the chief witch to bring you to Uruk, I also have another purpose, which is to take the opportunity to annihilate one of the pillars of the Three Goddesses Alliance."
As soon as that was said, Rozen suddenly looked at Enkidu.
"You want to destroy one of the pillars of the Three Goddesses Alliance?"
Rozen raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." Enkidu said in an inexplicable tone: "I have a certain fate with her, and there is reliable information saying that she often appears in this area alone recently. I want to take this opportunity to eliminate her."
"Fate with you …?" Rozen said as if he understood something: "Don't tell me …"
Enkidu nodded.
"She is the culprit who once killed me, Ishtar, the goddess."
