In Mesopotamian mythology, there was a goddess who had been in charge of the underworld since she was born.
She was in charge of the growth and decay of plants, as well as the servants of snakes and dragons. She could freely control Garulla Spirit, the messenger of the underworld. She existed as the controller of death.
When it came to divinity and power, the goddess could only be regarded as a medium among the many gods in Mesopotamian mythology.
However, because the Netherworld needed someone to manage it, and the death of life and death also needed someone to be responsible for it, this Goddess was an existence that was forced to do a thankless job. Although her divinity and power were not strong, it was only limited to the Netherworld. There was no doubt that she would be invincible, and no god or heroic spirit would be able to resist her judgment.
The goddess's name was Ereshkigal. She was the mistress of the underworld, the ruler of death and the undead. She was also a Mother Goddess. She was widely known as the guardian goddess of the city of Kuza, and she was respected by humans.
Now, the goddess's name was mentioned.
Because the current situation was indeed related to the goddess.
"The Garulla Spirit was originally the Underworld Messenger under that guy's control. Only that guy could emit the scent of death that could envelop the entire fortress city, constantly bringing death to humans, and also control the army of necromancy to attack. There's no one else other than Ereshkigal who could do such a thing." "That's right.
And so Gilgamesh said.
However, those words caused the crowd to fall into chaos.
"Please … please wait a minute!" Matthew couldn't help but ask, "You said that the controller behind the undead monsters is the goddess Ereshkigal? Why … why did it become like this? "
"Yes." Anna also frowned and said, "Isn't it the three pillars of the Three Goddesses Alliance who attacked Uruk?"
"Goddess Ereshkigal …" Siduri was also surprised and said, "Could it be that the goddess also appeared in the underworld?"
Matthew, Anna, and Siduri, who didn't know the reason, were all surprised.
Everyone had always believed that the manipulator behind the undead monsters was Ishtar, the goddess of Venus in the Three Goddesses Alliance.
After all, the one in the north was the Goddess of Magical Beast, and the one in the south was the Goddess of Jungle. The third party should be the last pillar of the Three Goddesses Alliance, Ishtar.
Now that they suddenly heard the name of the fourth goddess, everyone was naturally shocked.
Not to mention everyone present, even Chaldea's group was astonished.
"Isn't Ishtar the one controlling the necromancy monsters?"
Olga Marie was surprised.
"This …"
Roman's expression also changed.
Only Da Vinci was not surprised. Instead, he spoke in a relieved tone.
"That's why I found it strange. The Goddess Ishtar shouldn't be behind the undead monsters."
This was only natural.
"Ishtar is the mistress of the sky, the Mother Goddess of Life who represents harvest and growth. How could she have the power to control death?"
Da Vinci's words awakened everyone who didn't know what was going on.
Just as she said, although Ishtar was a great goddess who had obtained various powers from the gods, she did not have the power to control death.
In the myth, Ishtar once went to the underworld, but the result was quite bleak.
It was said that Ishtar, who had always been successful in all her endeavors, had only suffered a great setback when she descended to the underworld. The goddess, who thought that there was no place she couldn't go, charged straight into the underworld with her many powers. In the end, all her powers were stripped away, turning her from the high and mighty mistress of the heavens into a drowning dog that could be beaten at any time.
Because in the underworld, no matter how powerful a god was, they must obey the will of Ereshkigal. Otherwise, they would be powerless, stripped naked, and brought to Ereshkigal.
That was exactly what happened to Ishtar.
Hence, in Mesopotamian mythology, the legend of Ishtar's descent to the underworld ended in failure. She was even dismembered. If not for the power of Dumuzid, the Shepherd God, to resurrect her, her carefree and capricious career as a goddess might have ended in the underworld.
Such Ishtar didn't have the power of the underworld goddess, and she herself was in charge of "life". She didn't have the power to control "death" at all.
In other words, the one behind the army of undead monsters from the northeast could not be Ishtar.
"Unless Ishtar, like Gorgon, has the power of the Holy Grail and can integrate the divinity of the underworld goddess to become a composite divinity, otherwise, it's impossible."
Da Vinci's words made everyone speechless.
Only three people didn't show any surprise from beginning to end.
One was Gilgamesh.
One was Merlin.
And the last one was Rozen.
Rozen said so.
"No matter what, based on the current situation, we have to solve the problem of Garulla Spirit first."
Rozen said as if he was trying to change the topic.
"The situation in the north and south has been stabilized, and the undead army in the northeast is also blocked outside the city. Only Garulla Spirit can freely go in and out of any place where there are humans, making them the only threat in Uruk."
If they didn't find a way to solve this problem, then even without Rozen's reminder, everyone knew what would happen if the situation continued.
"It's not easy to save 100,000 people. If more people die for no reason, the loss of manpower and combat power is secondary, I'm afraid even Uruk will be destroyed."
Gilgamesh said.
"Now, in Uruk, the only ones who have the ability to deal with the Garulas without a mission are you."
Gilgamesh's eyes fell on Rozen, Matthew, and Anna.
"I hereby formally entrust you to find a way to expel the Garulla Spirit in Uruk, to prevent more people from dying due to exhaustion and having their souls taken away."
This was also the reason why Rozen and the others were here.
Early in the morning, Gilgamesh asked Siduri to bring Rozen and the others here.
It was to issue the entrustment.
"Once Uruk is destroyed, the Sumerian culture, the foundation of human civilization, will disappear as well. Laying the foundation of human reason and saving human history will become empty talk. This isn't what you want to see, right?"
Gilgamesh stretched out a hand.
"We have the same interests! All of you, contribute your strength to Uruk! "
Hearing that, Matthew and Anna focused their attention on Rozen.
Obviously, they wanted to let Rozen make the decision.
And Rozen naturally wouldn't refuse.
Whether it was out of his standpoint or his own selfishness, he wanted to find out more about the Garulla Spirit.
So …
"I accept this entrustment."
Rozen gave such a response.
Rozen, Matthew, and Anna returned to the embassy together.
It was going to be a sleepless night.
