Indeed, Ishtar had an undeniable responsibility for Enkidu's death.
If it weren't for her request, if it weren't for the gods' love for her, Enkidu wouldn't have died.
It could be said that Ishtar was the one who single-handedly caused Enkidu's death, and the goddess was the culprit behind it all.
In the past, Ishtar had always felt that there was nothing wrong with what she did, but now, after hearing Siduri's words, she felt a little ashamed.
On one hand, Siduri, as the chief shaman of the Uruk Sacrificial Grounds, had always been very devoted to the city goddess, even more so than the chief shaman of the Miko Shrine. That was why Ishtar had always treated Siduri as one of his own.
On the other hand, in Ishtar's eyes, what he had done in the past was indeed a little too much.
Of course, this was due to the fact that he had fused with a human's personality, but for the current Ishtar, he still had the thought of 'why did he go so far'.
Therefore, in the face of the gazes of the crowd, Ishtar felt guilty and embarrassed. He didn't know what to say at all. He could only look away, pretend not to know anything, and even held the back of his head and whistled.
Looking at this scene, the crowd was also speechless.
However, they also knew that it was useless to blame the current Ishtar.
After all, Enkidu was a weapon created by the gods with the purpose of bringing Gilgamesh back to the side of the gods. In the end, not only did Enkidu fail to complete his mission, but he also conspired with Gilgamesh to help humans break away from the control of the gods. This was a complete betrayal of his own creator.
In this way, Enkidu would anger the gods and be taken back by them. This was something that was destined to happen. Even without Ishtar's request, the gods would have taken back his life and soul sooner or later.
On the other hand, Enkidu's death would allow Gilgamesh to descend to the underworld in search of immortality. In the end, he would attain enlightenment and awaken as a Wise King, laying the most important foundation for the subsequent development of human history. All of this seemed to be destined, and no one could be blamed for it.
It could be said that Enkidu was the most ancient king sent by the world to create all of humanity.
Without his death, Gilgamesh wouldn't have awakened, and humanity wouldn't have been able to reproduce. It was all fate.
Although Ishtar had played a bad role, at least she was not the jealous and unscrupulous goddess in the myths. She still had some redeeming qualities.
Therefore, no one had any intention to reprimand her. Only Merlin, the black-bellied fellow, could not help but tease her.
Rozen rolled his eyes at Ishtar before looking at Siduri again.
"Since you said so, then if there is a chance, I will help you ask him." Rozen said, "Moreover, I am also very curious about this so-called Jin Gu."
"Curious?" Siduri was slightly startled.
"Yes." Rozen nodded. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said, "Is he really a fake Enkidu?"
This question made everyone frown.
There was no other reason.
"Isn't he?" Merlin seemed to want to see through Rozen's thoughts. He looked over and said with a thoughtful smile, "If he is Enkidu, there is no way he would help the Goddess of Warcraft destroy the humans. Moreover, Enkidu is already dead."
In that case, there was no doubt that this Enkidu was a fake.
That was what everyone else was thinking.
Including Siduri.
Including Ishtar.
Of course, including Merlin.
However …
"If he's really a fake, then isn't his Completion Rate a little too high?"
Rozen voiced out his thoughts.
That was the question Rozen had been asking since the fight with Jin Gu.
"Although in terms of personality, Jin Gu's personality is very different from the legendary Enkidu, if we ignore that aspect, this Jin Gu is extremely similar to the legendary Enkidu."
Rozen calmly pointed out one problem after another.
"For example, Jin Gu can be the embodiment of nature and the earth, and can sense things within a large range."
"For example, Jin Gu's fighting style is the same as King Gilgamesh and Enkidu's."
"Moreover, Jin Gu can also use Heaven's Chains, which is a precious artifact used against gods. The higher the divinity, the stronger the binding force of the chains. I don't think this kind of precious artifact against gods can be easily replicated through imitation and imitation."
"There are also other abilities such as fighting with the whole body as a weapon. All of these behaviors are exactly the same as Enkidu. They are so similar that it can't be explained as a fake."
So Rozen looked around at the crowd and said so.
"Therefore, Miss Siduri's premonition is probably right. That Jin Gu must have a deep connection with Enkidu. Whether he is a fake or not, it's still hard to say."
Hearing Rozen's words, everyone's expression changed, especially Siduri.
One of her hands was clenched tightly in front of her body, and her face that was covered by a veil seemed to have turned a little pale.
"But if Jin Gu is Enkidu, why did he become like this?"
Matthew also asked hurriedly.
However, it wasn't Rozen who answered this question, but Anna who had been silent all this while.
"Be it human nature or divinity, they are all things that can be changed." Anna suddenly said in a low voice, "Just like many mythical monsters, they are innocent at first, but due to various reasons, they are cursed and eventually turned evil, went berserk, and lost control. They become so evil that even their closest relatives can't recognize them. They become real monsters and murder their families."
What she meant was that Enkidu might have also been like that, which was why he became Jin Gu today.
"Since it's a precious artifact made by gods, it's possible for the gods to destroy it and restart it if they want to, right?"
Anna said in a low voice, not knowing what kind of mood she was in.
However, the crowd couldn't refute her.
In fact, Rozen had the same thought.
"Among the servants, there's also the so-called reversal state, which can cause a great change in their temperament and make them do things that are completely impossible under normal circumstances." Rozen said lightly: "Perhaps, Enkidu encountered the same thing, that's not certain."
At this point, Rozen didn't continue.
"I see." Merlin stroked his chin and said, "It seems that using the Magical Beast Goddess as our target is a good starting point."
Whether it was the Magical Beast Goddess or Jin Gu, there were secrets that they couldn't understand.
In the end, was the Magical Beast Goddess the original goddess Tiamat?
In the end, was the young man who called himself Jin Gu the deceased Enkidu?
All of these needed to be confirmed.
"In short, I'll pay attention to this matter." Rozen said to Siduri, "If there's any discovery, I'll let you know immediately."
"I'll leave it to you." Siduri didn't think too much about it and bowed her head toward Rozen, expressing her gratitude and apology.
"Then, let's go." Rozen's gaze swept across Matthew, Merlin, and Ishtar, and finally landed on Anna. "Anna, do you plan to come with us?"
"… Yes." Anna was silent for a moment, then nodded. "My goal is to kill the Magical Beast Goddess. Please let me come with you."
"Alright." Rozen agreed without hesitation. "Then, let's go."
Everyone nodded at once.
Therefore, under Siduri's gaze, the group left Uruk together.
Their destination was the fir forest in the north.
