After an unknown period of time, the undead monsters that invaded Uruk were either annihilated or chased away, restoring peace to Uruk once again.
With the two rituals gone, Rozen and the rest could join in the battle. Gilgamesh had also prepared beforehand to deal with the undead monsters, so Uruk was able to successfully deal with the invasion.
Fortunately, the undead monsters that invaded Uruk were the type that relied on numbers to win. If there were existences on the same level as the northern daemons, such as Ugar and Bashmu, or the southern army's pterosaurs, the crisis would have been difficult to resolve.
Therefore, the crisis this time could be said to be more daunting than dangerous, and they safely passed through.
However, it was not without a price.
Even though Gilgamesh had ordered the citizens not to go out and try not to reveal their aura of the living to avoid attracting the attention of the undead monsters, how could they not reveal their aura of the living?
The citizens of Uruk were just ordinary humans. They were not magicians or even warriors. Even if they wanted to hide their aura, it was not something that could be done easily, was it?
Hence, there were still sacrifices in Uruk.
This time, a total of 824 people were attacked by the undead monsters. After being injured and weakened, their souls were directly taken away by the Garulla spirit.
Including the 113 people who died before, Uruk had lost almost a thousand people in the past two days. Their souls were taken to the underworld and fell into an eternal slumber.
This was not something that could be joked about.
How many people were there in Uruk?
It had only been two days, yet such a high number of people had been sacrificed, and the matter had yet to be resolved. This was a major problem that could not be ignored.
After the invasion of the undead monsters, the scent of death that shrouded Uruk became even stronger, causing many people in Uruk to show signs of weakness.
If this continued, more and more people's souls would be forcefully taken to the underworld.
"Looks like we have to find a way to deal with the Goddess of the Underworld."
On this day, Rozen and the rest were summoned to the royal hall of the divine tower by Siduri, and Gilgamesh, who was sitting on the throne, tossed out such a topic without hesitation.
Matthew and Anna were stunned.
Merlin, on the other hand, was dozing off because he had worked through the night to set up a new barrier. Fou, who was standing on his shoulder, slapped his face from time to time.
Rozen was the only one who sighed, as if he had already expected this to happen.
Because this meant one thing.
"You want us to go to the Underworld to find Ereshkigal, right? King Gilgamesh? "
Rozen voiced Gilgamesh's thoughts.
"That's right." Gilgamesh had no intention of hiding anything. "Ereshkigal will not leave the Underworld. If you want to solve her problem, you have to go to the Underworld. Besides, only you have enough power to deal with the Goddess, so there is no other way."
Gilgamesh had already put it this way, so it was obvious that there was no other way.
Rozen, on the other hand, had no objection.
After all, Chaldea and Uruk were on the same side. If Uruk perished, the history of mankind would be over. Both sides' purpose was to protect mankind and Uruk, and it was inevitable that they would fight against the Three Goddesses Alliance.
In that case, Rozen had to make this trip.
But …
"Are we really going to the Underworld?"
"That's the Underworld!"
"We're still alive, but we have to go to the Underworld. Is it really okay?"
Chaldea and the others' worried voices came from the communicator on Rozen's wrist.
It couldn't be helped. Even Chaldea, who claimed to be able to transfer Reiatsu to any era, was a little nervous.
The so-called Underworld was a place that only the dead could enter. It was equivalent to Sumer's Hell or the Yellow Springs. Even in the Age of Gods, the Underworld was just an underground world, but that didn't change the fact that it was the world of the dead.
If one went to that kind of place, it was very likely that they would never be able to return and would never be able to return to the surface. In fact, they might even lose their lives, turning from the living to the dead. The loss outweighed the gain.
Ishtar was a living example. The great goddess, who thought highly of herself, went to the Underworld with many powers, but in the end, didn't she still end up in pieces?
Therefore, in this era, even if the Underworld belonged to the underground world, it was almost impossible for those who entered the Underworld to return.
And those who could return would eventually become heroes that people loved to talk about.
For example, Uruk, who was sitting on the throne, was a living example.
Only the king dared to say that.
"It's just the Underworld. With your ability, you shouldn't be unable to return, right?"
That was what Gilgamesh said.
"I don't expect you to bring back the souls of the victims and resurrect them, but at least ask Ereshkigal to retract the Scent of Death and the Spirit of Garulla."
This was already very difficult, wasn't it?
She was here to kill people and take their souls. Asking her to retract the Scent of Death and the Spirit of Garulla was easier said than done.
Rather than doing this, it would be easier to just knock the other party down.
Although Ereshkigal was an invincible existence in the Underworld, and no god or heroic spirit could disobey her, there was one exception.
That was the living.
Only those who were alive could resist the laws of the world of the dead.
Therefore, if Rozen went to the Underworld as a living person, then Ereshkigal's invincibility couldn't be displayed. That was also the reason why the living who entered the Underworld would basically lose their lives. In addition to the fact that it was not a forbidden place for the living, there was another reason, and that was to prevent them from threatening the God of the Underworld.
Of course, even if she was not invincible, Ereshkigal was still a goddess. Even if her divinity and power were only at the middle level, she was not someone that ordinary humans could deal with.
That was why Gilgamesh said that with the ability of Rozen and others, they should be able to deal with the goddess.
"How about it? Do you accept this mission? "
Gilgamesh decided to ask this question.
At this time, the two ritual's words flashed in Rozen's mind.
"If you really want to solve the problem of the Three Goddesses Alliance, then come to the Underworld."
"That Goddess who has been forcing herself, she should need you."
Thinking of those words, Rozen pondered for a while and made a decision.
