"Ishtar … Go to hell!"
Boom!
Just like how the attacker was feeling at the moment. Amidst the violent bombardment, countless precious artifacts poured forward like bullets. There was almost no place that could be considered safe in the entire space, and there was even the sound of rattling chains when they shook.
Heaven's Lock!
It was mixed in with the other relics in an attempt to restrain the enemy.
In the next moment, the enormous heavenly boat pulled back its bowstring. Sharp arrows scattered down from above, and under the sounds of metal colliding, they disappeared. However, there were still some precious artifacts that shot upwards, almost seriously injuring the figures on the heavenly boat.
"Idiot!" Gilgamesh lifted his head and smirked as he watched Ishtar who managed to dodge his attack in time. "I have an overwhelming number of relics. How dare you try to compete with my relics? You're indeed a hopeless idiot! Even in the modern era, your idiocy hasn't improved at all. Go to hell! "
"Hah! What right do you have to criticize me, you b * stard gold pickup! " While dodging Gilgamesh's noble relic, Ishtar countered, "You're just a human. How dare you point your finger at me, a goddess? What's with that funny expression? Are you crazy?"
"Humph, idiot, you can only show off with your mouth. If you can take it, then try it!"
Swoosh!
Suddenly, more relics shot out from the golden halo behind him and attacked Ishtar from all angles. The bombardment was almost fatal to an attacker in such a narrow space, especially a goddess like Ishtar. She had the Heaven's Lock in her relic. Once she was restrained, she would definitely die.
However, Ishtar was not fighting alone. Gilgamesh had the King's Treasure Vault while she had the heavenly ship Ma Anna. In terms of mobility, the heavenly ship was one of the best in the entire God's Age.
Under the bombardment of countless relics, the heavenly ship Ma Anna moved quickly, leaving afterimages in the air. She managed to bring Ishtar out of the attack range of the relics.
"Hah, the high and mighty goddess only knows how to run now? What a pity. " Gilgamesh immediately mocked her. "Unfortunately, this isn't Kanzaki. Little girls who lose in a fight only have to run home and cry to Father God to get help. Here, the loser dies. A pitiful and lonely death is the most suitable ending for an idiot like you!"
"What did you say?!" Ishtar glared at him and scolded, "Don't think you can say whatever you want just because I didn't say anything. You're a useless tyrant who can't even protect his own country. What ancient hero king? You're just an immature idiot. That's why you were defeated by Tang Hao ten years ago. Haha, I'm dying of laughter!"
"Aren't you the laughable one? As a Goddess, you were summoned by the Holy Grail and can only rely on a human. Do you think that you are still a high and mighty Goddess?"
"Of course, no matter when, I will always be a goddess, because a god cannot die. Even if a god's generation dies, a god will still be a god. But Gilgamesh, you are no longer a king, but a stray dog!"
"Bastard! You've angered me! "
"What a joke! You've angered me long ago!"
"Go to hell! Disappear completely like a god's generation, Ishtar! "
"You're the one who deserves to die, Gilgamesh!"
Boom! Boom! Boom …
The two of them attacked with all their might while cursing each other with the most venomous words, belittling each other to the point of being worthless. Such a scene left little Ilya, who was watching from afar, speechless. She felt … as if she was watching two elementary school students quarrel.
"Heh … Hehe, looks like the relationship between the Goddess and that King Gilgamesh is really bad."
The corner of Little Ilya's mouth twitched. To prevent herself from being affected by the battle, she took a few steps back.
It wasn't that she was afraid of battle, but when she met Gilgamesh previously, Ishtar had warned her not to make a move. Since both sides were in an intense battle and it was difficult to determine the victor, she decided to watch from the sidelines for the time being.
"Aiyah, that's to be expected. After all, it's that King Gilgamesh and the Goddess Ishtar. The grudge between the two can be said to be the death of their wives. It would be abnormal if they didn't fight to the death," Ruby said.
"The death of their wives?" Little Ilya blinked.
Ruby immediately showed off her knowledge and explained, "In Sumerian mythology, when King Gilgamesh was young, he accidentally rescued the trapped Goddess Ishtar. Moreover, he was handsome, so Ishtar fell in love with him and proposed to him. However, not only did Gilgamesh not accept, he even criticized her harshly, causing Ishtar to leave in shame. After that, she found out that Gilgamesh and Enki were together … "
"Enki?"
"That's right, Enki is a humanoid weapon created by the Gods. He was originally created to keep the tyrant Gilgamesh in check, but after the two of them fought to a draw, they appreciated each other's talents and became best friends … Of course, in this generation, masculinity prevails. Although they appear to be best friends on the surface, their relationship is actually even more intimate than that. This is especially true for kings. If they haven't experienced masculinity before, they would be too embarrassed to greet others."
"Hey hey hey! Two men? "Ilya was shocked.
"Well, that's not important. You'll understand in the future, Ilya. Anyway, strictly speaking, Enki is a servant of Ishtar. Gilgamesh rejected her proposal, and instead slept with her servant. This made her completely angry. After all, she was a very bad and capricious goddess. So, her love turned to hate, and she released the Bull of Heaven to take revenge. "
"For a whole seven years, Uruk was ravaged by the Bull of Heaven. Disasters were everywhere, and it was only after seven years that it was defeated by Gilgamesh and Enki. But because of this, Enki was punished by the gods, and died not long after the battle. This was a huge blow to Gilgamesh, and he hated Ishtar ever since. "
"Of course, as the goddess said, the gods cannot die. Even if they disappear, they only exist in a different form. So, Gilgamesh did not have the chance to take revenge even after he died. And now, Ishtar has appeared as a servant. This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for him to settle his grudge. And Ishtar is not someone who is willing to suffer losses. The two of them will definitely fight to the death. "
"I see. I can't believe it …" After listening to Ruby's explanation, Ilya fell into deep thought.
"Hmm? What's wrong? "Ruby asked.
"That …" Ilya frowned. "That guy killed Sela and Lizette so cruelly. I thought he was always a cold and ruthless character. I didn't expect him to have such a past. But, he was clearly angry and pained because of the death of his cyborgs, but he treated other cyborgs cruelly. It feels like … the him in the myths and the him now are like two different people. There's no way to link them together."
In fact, she could already understand the cruelty of the Holy Grail War. As long as one entered this battlefield, there was no distinction between gender or age. Only the strong would live, and the weak would die. What she really could not accept was Gilgamesh's attitude when facing the other Ilya, as if he was looking at a prop.
The gods did not treat Enki as a human. He was just a weapon, a prop. Gilgamesh, on the other hand, regarded him as his closest friend, and would be angry and pained because of his death. And now, Gilgamesh returned to the world as a servant. Facing the cyborgs who were similar to Enki, he similarly did not treat them as humans. They were just props …
Although he used his strength to gain her recognition, what if she did not have that kind of strength?
Perhaps it would be the same.
In the end, wouldn't Gilgamesh become exactly the same as the gods he once hated the most?
"Sure enough, I still can't forgive this guy."
"Well, well, it's a myth after all. There might be some discrepancies with reality. Moreover, humans have always been complicated creatures. To be lenient to oneself and strict to others, they're the best at double standards." "Since ancient times, humans have two main characteristics. The first is that they like to build their happiness on the pain of others. The second is that they keep repeating the same mistakes. Even if the human race is destroyed, these are unchangeable." Ruby said calmly as she continued to impart knowledge to Lin Sanjiu.
"Anyway, don't think too much about it. Your current situation is not suitable for you to participate in this kind of battle. Why don't you back off a little … Huh?" Ruby suddenly paused, her tone carrying a hint of shock and seriousness.
Ilya quickly shook off those messy thoughts and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Something's not right …" Ruby 'looked' at the battlefield not far away. "Ishtar might be defeated."
"Huh?"
"As expected, Ishtar might be stronger than Gilgamesh when she was alive. But now, humans no longer believe in the gods, and the era of gods is long gone. No matter how powerful a god is, he can't unleash his full power. Especially after turning into a Servant, the goddess can only manifest a portion of her Psionic Base, while the human hero has a complete Psionic Base. Even if both of them aren't at their peak, Ishtar is still the one who is weakened. She doesn't have the power to fight Gilgamesh in her current state. Furthermore … Ishtar has the Heaven Lock that specifically restrains the gods. "
"Then … Then what do we do?" Ilya's expression changed as she asked anxiously.
"There's no other way." Ruby said honestly. "Ilya, don't even think about charging in and fighting. Your body hasn't fully recovered. You might be able to fight against a normal Servant, but against a top-tier Servant like Gilgamesh, you won't be able to survive. The only thing you can do now is run. I hope Ishtar isn't so stubborn."
