"From the future?"
Rozen's words stunned Ishtar.
However, in the next second, Ishtar calmly accepted it.
If it was anyone else who heard Rozen's self-introduction, they would most likely think that there was something wrong with the person's head, or be surprised, bewildered, or even suspicious.
Unfortunately, Ishtar was not a human. She was a true goddess, a 100% natural deity.
Since she was a goddess, she would be able to accept anything no matter how unbelievable it was.
At the very least, things like time travel were inconceivable to Ishtar, who was a goddess, but it was not something to be surprised about.
Moreover, Rozen's attire and appearance were vastly different from the Sumeer people and even the humans of this era, so Ishtar believed Rozen's words.
However …
"A human from the future, to be able to obtain the protection of a … no, it seems to be two gods. What a strange thing."
Ishtar saw through the existence of the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit on Rozen.
Of course, the uniqueness that Ishtar sensed from Rozen was not just the existence of the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit.
From Ishtar's point of view, the human in front of him was exuding a rather unique presence. He was definitely not simple.
However …
"No matter how extraordinary he is, don't think that I will let you off easily since you dare to be rude to me." Ishtar threatened Rozen. "You'd better release me now. That way, I will spare you after you hand over all your belongings for the sake of the god on you."
The goddess of Venus actually made such a request. She really did not have any self-awareness as a captive.
Even so, Gilgamesh still let out a "Woah".
"Sure enough, your temper is much better than before. If it was you in the past, it would be impossible for you not to kill all the humans who saw you in such an ugly state. Or have you finally found your conscience?"
Gilgamesh's sarcasm almost made Ishtar curse out loud again.
That being said, Ishtar also felt that he was being too merciful in dealing with the situation.
(Sigh, I can't help it. Who asked me to be such a merciful goddess?)
That was Ishtar's narcissistic thought.
However, Gilgamesh wouldn't care about Ishtar's narcissism, and neither would Rozen.
Rozen just stared at Ishtar for a long time.
"I'm sorry, Goddess. It's not a matter of whether I want to let you go or not, but a matter of whether I should let you go or not." So Rozen smiled and said, "You also know what kind of desperate situation humans are facing now. For the humans of this era, the Goddess has become the enemy, and I also have my own purpose in coming to this era. I need to cooperate with King Gilgamesh, so I am prepared to offer you as a greeting gift."
"Wh … what?" Ishtar's eyes widened.
"Greeting gift?" Gilgamesh laughed heartily and said, "I see. This is a gift for the King. The great Venus Goddess has actually become a gift. It's only natural for This King to wrap you up with a ribbon, right? Hahaha! "
"Are … are you kidding me?!" Ishtar yelled and shouted, "If you know what's good for you, hurry up and let me go! Hurry up! "
Ishtar yelled and continued to struggle.
"I advise you to give up." Rozen spread his hands and said, "Although you are a goddess, you have a grudge against King Gilgamesh. As you said, you better know what's good for you. Otherwise, with the King's personality, he might really humiliate you to the point where you can no longer raise your head."
"He wouldn't dare!" Ishtar glared at Gilgamesh.
"Why wouldn't This King dare?" When Gilgamesh was almost done laughing, he snorted coldly and said, "Although it's a little vile, and This King does not have much time to waste on an incompetent goddess, if it's just some entertainment, it's not bad to temporarily have some fun."
"You … you …" Ishtar's face twitched. If his hands weren't bound, he might have raised his trembling finger and pointed at Gilgamesh.
This finally made Siduri unable to stand it anymore.
"Please stop joking, King," Siduri said with a sigh. "Goddess Ishtar is the urban goddess of Uruk. If King doesn't want Uruk to be cursed by the goddess in the future, then stop before you go too far."
Clearly, the chief shaman of the sacrificial ground couldn't just stand by and watch the goddess he worshiped be humiliated.
Ishtar looked at Siduri with teary eyes as if he had seen his savior.
"You're the most understanding one, Siduri. Hurry up and let me go. That way, after this golden shimmering goddess dies, I will return to Uruk and save all of you from the persecution of other goddesses."
It seemed that Ishtar had placed his hope of regaining his freedom on Siduri.
Gilgamesh, of course, wouldn't pretend that he didn't hear it.
"Don't be too compassionate, Siduri." Gilgamesh waved his hand at Siduri and said, "Even if she's an urban goddess, it's a fact that this idiot has ravaged the land of Uruk. You shouldn't be in awe of an evil goddess. You just need to watch her make a fool of herself."
"Who's the evil goddess?!" Ishtar's teary eyes turned into an angry glare.
The two of them were indeed a pair of enemies. It was impossible for them to not quarrel with each other when they bumped into each other.
In fact, with the enmity between the two of them, it wouldn't be strange at all if they were to suddenly fight each other at any time.
Fortunately, Gilgamesh was no longer the vicious-looking hero king he used to be. After coming to a complete realization, he didn't care too much about his past grudges. For some reason, Ishtar's personality was different from what was described in the legends. Even though he was still arrogant and willful, he was much gentler than what was described in the legends. His love for Gilgamesh had turned into an eyesore.
It should be said that the two of them didn't see eye to eye with each other.
Therefore, there wasn't an atmosphere of a life-and-death struggle between the two of them.
As if he had had his fill of enjoyment, Gilgamesh turned around.
"No matter what, it's a good thing to be able to capture this incompetent goddess. It's up to you to decide how you want to deal with her. I'm very busy and really don't have time to deal with these chores. Do as you please."
With that, Gilgamesh gave the order.
"Siduri, arrange a place for them to stay and give them a pass. Give them the right to enter and leave Uruk freely. I'm going to deal with some matters. You're all dismissed."
With these words, Gilgamesh returned to his throne.
Seeing that, Siduri turned around helplessly.
"Well then, everyone, please come with me. Remember to bring Lord Ishtar along."
Hearing that, Rozen and the others nodded one after another.
"Wait! Let go of me first! Let go of me! Or else I'll really get angry! "
Ishtar was still yelling.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her.
Therefore, Matthew carried Ishtar again. Ignoring Ishtar's yelling, she, Rozen, Merlin, and Fou followed behind Siduri and left the throne room.
Sitting on the throne, Gilgamesh glanced at everyone. To be more precise, he glanced at Rozen. Then, he retracted his gaze and continued to deal with his affairs.
The meeting with Gilgamesh ended here.
However, only God knew what would happen next.
