Others might shudder as they listened to Ereshkigal's explanation.
However, Rozen could hear the sorrow in her voice.
So …
"Is that what you really mean?"
Rozen confirmed it for now.
"Of course." Ereshkigal answered without hesitation, "I am Ereshkigal, the Mistress of the Underworld. Bringing all humans and all souls into the Underworld is not only the meaning of my existence, but also my duty. I am just doing what I am supposed to do, and that is to bring all human souls into the Underworld. Do you want to say that this is wrong?"
If it was wrong, why did she have to come to the Underworld?
If it was wrong, why did she have to sacrifice her to the Underworld as a cornerstone?
The gods created the Underworld to manage the souls of the dead, and Ereshkigal was forced here by the gods who were unwilling to take up their duties. She became a goddess who could not step out of the Underworld and could only manage the dead for eternity.
Since she only had this identity and this duty, she would carry it out to the end. If it was wrong, it would prove that it was a mistake made by the gods from the beginning.
"They took away everything from me and gave me only this duty and duty. Now that things have come to this, I will naturally carry this duty and duty to the end."
Ereshkigal declared.
"Are you denying me? The last master of the human race! "
This time, it was Rozen's turn to be silent.
Seeing Rozen like this, the others could not help but feel anxious.
"What are you silent about?"
Ishtar couldn't help but grab Rozen's hair.
"Deny her quickly!"
Olga Marie's anxious voice came from the communicator.
"The goddess is doing her duty, that is true, but her method is wrong."
Da Vinci pointed out the key point.
"The Underworld can only take in the souls of those who deserve to die, not actively create death on the ground. This is reversing the order of duty and duty!"
Roman also said loudly.
Indeed, Ereshkigal was wrong.
Even if it was her duty and mission, she shouldn't have been creating death on the ground in order to collect and manage souls.
Just like Gorgon, the victim had become the perpetrator. That was inexcusable no matter what.
Therefore, Ereshkigal's actions were undoubtedly wrong.
"The Underworld is a place to judge the good and evil of souls, just like the Seven Stacks Door."
Matthew raised her head, looked at Rozen, and said very seriously.
"Please deny her and show the good and evil of the human soul, Master."
That was what Mashu said.
Everyone was waiting for Rozen to deny Ereshkigal.
However, not only did Rozen not do that, but he also raised another question.
"Why didn't you kill me?"
Rozen abandoned his position and identity and actually asked such an irrelevant question.
"Eh?"
Ereshkigal was stunned.
Not to mention Ereshkigal, everyone present was stunned as well.
But Rozen didn't care about anyone's reaction, he just stared at Ereshkigal and said so.
"You know that I'm Chaldea's master, and you know that I'm here to restore this era, and I'm destined to be the enemy of the Three Goddesses Alliance, right?"
Rozen asked.
"In that case, why didn't you kill me when you appeared on the ground with Ishtar's identity?"
Wasn't that contradictory?
"From a standpoint, you are one of the Three Goddesses Alliance, and eradicating me, an enemy who passed through six singularities, should be the most important thing you should do."
"In terms of responsibility, you also said that your goal is to take all human souls as your own, so I should also be one of your goals."
"But the previous two times, not only did you not kill me, but you also protected me in front of the other goddesses. What's going on?"
Rozen's straightforward accusation made Ereshkigal speechless for a moment.
"I …" Ereshkigal's tone softened, and she said in a low voice: "I just don't think it's the right time, and I don't want you to fall into the hands of the other goddesses."
That was not a far-fetched explanation.
Back in the embassy, because of Rozen's instruction, Attila had been watching Ishtar and Ereshkigal, who occupied Ishtar's body. In that situation, even if Ereshkigal wanted to attack Rozen, it would be difficult.
And that time in the fir forest, Ereshkigal also said that she chose to protect Rozen because she wanted to monopolize him.
In that case, that explanation was indeed not far-fetched.
But …
"That's not right, is it?"
Rozen didn't hold back and directly exposed her.
"Back in the embassy, even if you failed, the only one who would be in trouble is Ishtar, whose body you occupied. You have a grudge against Ishtar anyway, so it doesn't matter to you whether you succeed or fail. You can always take the opportunity to try, can't you?"
Exactly.
If she succeeded, she would be able to get rid of Rozen, which was undoubtedly a good thing.
Even if she failed, Ereshkigal could escape unscathed. After all, the body was not hers, and as the owner of the body, Ishtar's life had nothing to do with her. She would even be happy if something really happened to him.
From the looks of it, Ereshkigal did not have to endure at all.
Not to mention …
"Even if I am killed by the other goddesses, my soul will still be taken away by the spirit of Galula and fall into your hands. In that case, no matter who kills me, it won't matter to you, right?"
Rozen pointed out the flaws in Ereshkigal's words without any hesitation.
"Even if the above is not true, then let me ask you, why did you risk breaking the covenant to tell me about the Three Goddesses Alliance?"
That was another inexplicable point.
In summary …
"Everything you said, I have reason to believe that they are all lies."
Rozen's voice echoed in the room.
"You should have understood from our last conversation. I'm someone who has fought countless battles. Do you think I can't tell what the reason for a battle is and whether it's real or fake?"
"If you want me to be your enemy, then give me a better reason."
"Or, tell me your true feelings, and let me know what kind of goddess you are, Ereshkigal."
When all these words reached Ereshkigal's ears, her breathing seemed to have become rapid.
Involuntarily, the goddess took several steps back.
But …
"… Do you think you can make me waver by saying these words?"
Ereshkigal held back his emotions and spoke.
"You have already entered the underworld as a living being, and now you dare to say that you need a better reason to be my enemy?"
"Stop joking!"
Ereshkigal's magical power completely erupted.
