I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

"That means Uruk's food is in crisis?!" Enkidu stood up. "Do you need me to do something? My spiritual soil can give birth to plants."

"In fact, thanks to a certain guy, Uruk's food reserves are very sufficient, and it even has enough energy to support other cities." Gilgamesh glanced at Seleus beside him.

"My lord understands why you, who advised me to be tolerant, uncharacteristically strictly control the brewing of wine and save a large part of the grain. Have you guessed that this day will come?"

"No, it's just a habitual precaution, but I didn't expect it would come in handy one day." Serius responded absent-mindedly while tapping on the armrest of the seat.

To be honest, he would rather the granary he had prepared never come in handy, and he didn't want to have such an emergency situation where he needed to reserve food suddenly.

"There is a problem in Ishtar, should we help our city god..."

"Since there is enough food, I hope that the useless goddess will suffer more." Gilgamesh directly interrupted Enkidu's proposal. "Sooner or later you will understand how annoying that goddess is."

"I still feel something is wrong. It is not a trivial matter for the goddess of fertility to have a problem." Seleus shook his head, he did not agree with his friend's point of view.

"It's not necessary at all. Even if there is a food problem, we still have a flock of sheep, enough to maintain Uruk's current population..."

"My king! The herdsmen gathered outside the palace, saying that all the sheep are showing signs of weakness!"

"what?"

......

"The Eye of Truth told me that Ishtar went to Hades, and the entrance to Hades is around the city of Kusa."

Serleus, who was flying in the sky, found a very unnatural abyss on the outskirts of Kusa City, which seemed to be hit by a meteorite.

"Smashing down the gate of the underworld aggressively, for fear that the master will come to challenge you without knowing it. This is an act that even the god kings dare not try. Ten death without life."

"Is that Ishtar guy so brave?"

Helplessly, he covered his forehead. Just seeing the abyss in front of him, Seleus could guess how "remarkable" the goddess had done, in various senses.

Calming his mind, Seleus slowly descended from the abyss to the underworld. During this period, he could feel a mysterious rule trying to suppress his own power, but lost that effect after meeting his even more mysterious body.

Soon, Seleus came to the Hades, and his keen perception allowed him to quickly find the existence of Hades, but when he observed with extraordinary eyesight, the scene in front of him surprised him who was well-informed. Can't help but exclaim——

The mistress of the sky was stripped of all her clothes, her naked body was hung on a giant spear, and there was a majestic bone giant guarding her beside her...

......

"The so-called heaven and earth are kings, everything that can be called wealth in the world belongs to this king's collection. Hahahahahahaha!"

Gilgamesh couldn't help laughing out loud as he played with the newly acquired treasures 'Wheel of Life' and 'Standard of Death'.

"Hey, hey, hey! That's the reward I got from that outrageous goddess after I worked so hard to kill the big snake and drive away the witch." Serius rolled his eyes and stared angrily at the two Gilgamesh who took back the treasure from the treasury.

"These two treasures will only gather dust in your hands." Gilgamesh, who was sitting on the throne, snorted. "You have so many treasures on your body, but when you fight, you just rush up to chop people with an axe, and they don't leave it with me. Do you have a place to take it?"

"So, do I have to thank my great King, His Majesty, for helping me solve a burden?" Seleus's words were a little bit weird.

"Otherwise? I don't know how to thank you for being favored by the king. This is a crime of treason."

Serius thought that as long as Gilgamesh had a conscience, he would be more or less mean.But who knew that the Golden King not only directly ignored the soft knife in Seleus's words, but also choked him in turn.

"Then I really want to thank you very much, my respected Majesty the King." Serius gritted his teeth and popped out these words from his mouth, he found that Gilgamesh was getting better and better when there were no outsiders around I am getting more and more shameless.

"Okay, okay, Jill don't continue to be angry with Seleus, and give your gift quickly." Seeing his two best friends starting to quarrel again, Enkidu, who had been sitting by the side with a smile, hurriedly Walk to the middle of the two.

"Gift? Did Gil prepare a gift for me?" Noticing the information revealed in Enkidu's words, Seleuston looked expectantly at Gilgamesh who was suddenly a little embarrassed on the throne.

"You guy, you always meddle in some nosy business." Seeing that Enkidu had directly disclosed the matter he had been hiding to the person involved, Gilgamesh scolded a little bit angrily.

"I always feel that if I don't point out Gilgamesh's thoughts, the gift matter will be dragged on forever." Facing the scolding but still smiling, Tian Zhisuo is facing Gilgamesh and Gilgamesh who regard him as a precious friend. Serius has always been very accommodating.

"If you don't have anything to say, you can talk about it later. Jill, where is my gift? Show it to me." For some reason, Seleus always felt that as long as Gilgamesh and Enkidu stood together, the atmosphere would change. It was very subtle, although Serius had heard Jill complaining about the same problem to him, but anyway, it was right to turn the topic back before the atmosphere became subtle.

"Hmph!" Gilgamesh snorted coldly with an unhappy expression, but still reached out and took out a key the size of Serius' palm from the golden ripples beside him.

"This king accidentally discovered a copy of the treasure house when he was analyzing the treasures he owned. Although it only has the storage function and cannot throw weapons like the original king's product, for a guy with extremely high strength like you, those developed The attack method is the most useless."

After taking out the key, Gilgamesh acted as if he was throwing away some useless garbage, and threw the key to Seleus, who was a little surprised, without hesitation.

After catching the key thrown by his friend, Serius carefully put it in his hand and looked at it carefully.The key is made of gold, and the handle is a tight mechanism that is constantly changing. After the analysis of the Eye of Reality, Seleus understands that if there is no wisdom to unlock the mechanism in an instant, then the key cannot open the door of the treasure house.

"My king who owns genuine products doesn't need such useless things, so you should be grateful to Dade for accepting this king's..."

"After knowing that you were going to leave after a while, Jill racked his brains to think about giving you a 'king's friend' and 'a unique gift that only this king can give'." Before the king finished speaking, Enkidu interrupted him with a smile on his face.

"Enkidu! You bastard..."

"But ordinary treasures are of no use to you at all, and you will never accept the authentic products of the treasure house. Gil has no choice but to find me." Ignoring Gilgamesh who was a little crazy, Enkidu, who was crazily tearing down the stage, still Smiling.

"After using some of my soil and various strange props, Jill spent a lot of effort to make this imitation of the Wang Lu key according to the principle of the genuine one, and said that you should tighten the press too tightly (for you a surprise)."

"Enkidu! You bastard!" Gilgamesh, who couldn't bear it any longer, tore Enkidu's cheek vigorously, but the Sky Lock still exposed his little thoughts with a smile on his face.

"Gill is always unable to find the right time, so I want to help you." Enkidu, who broke free from his friend's ruthless iron grip, put his hand on Gilgamesh's shoulder comfortingly. "After all, we are not sure when Seleus will leave, and it doesn't make sense if it's late."

"That's why you always do meaningless things." Unhappily shaking off his friend's hand on his shoulder, Gilgamesh turned his head in embarrassment. "Just like what the talkative guy said, this is the gift that the king and him gave you together..."

"If it's a gift, I have it too..." Saying this, Serius also took out the treasures he found from his travels around the world, and with a burst of crimson light, the outlines of the spear and the bow appeared on his body hands.

"Idiot!" Gilgamesh stopped Seleus suddenly excitedly. "What do you want to do! Just like you will never accept Wang Lujian representing my achievements, do you think Enkidu and I will accept the spear and bow representing your achievements?"

"So, my friend Seleus." Enkidu, who had been smiling all the time, walked to Seleus' side.

"Just like the imitation of Wang Lujian we prepared, it is enough for you to use the wheel and stick as a gift for me and Jill, and you also wanted to prepare gifts for me and Jill before accepting the commission of that outrageous goddess, right? ?”

"How do you..."

"Otherwise, how could an existence like you take the initiative to help that useless guy." As if thinking of something bad, Gilgamesh looked disgusted when he mentioned 'that useless guy'.

"Why do you take back those two treasures that are completely useless to you when you only have a battle ax as your belongings?" Enkidu walked up to Seleus's side, his beautiful eyes looked at his own tenderly. friends.

"Also, when you find out that our presents far exceed the wheels and sticks you prepared, it's like preparing ale to entertain a friend but discovering that the other party brought you fruit wine. You guys can't hide things in front of us. Know it Is it?" Gilgamesh also walked to Seleus's side, his bright red eyes filled with pride.

Looking at the two friends standing in front of him, and the imitation of the Wang Lu Key with their blessings in his hands, Seleus hugged his two friends directly.

"I just accepted this gift with a grateful heart, it really helped Jill..."

"Speaking of which, you bastard, don't touch me!"

"Jill is so inconsistent."

"Enkidu, you too, take your hands off my face..."

Chapter 31 Hades

The Euphrates River at night is very quiet, and the city of Uruk beside the river also reveals a peaceful atmosphere under the moonlight. The strange disease that suddenly appeared in the flock was solved by the king's friend. During this time, Uruk, who had been in fear Keren was finally able to have a peaceful dream at night.

"That is to say, that useless goddess Ishtar had some nerves to snatch Ereshkigal's authority, but she was stripped naked and hung on the spear without any power to fight back?"

Different from the peaceful residential area, the lights in Jigurat’s king’s room are still lit, and the king and his two close friends are talking about what happened to Serius when he went down to the underworld.

"It's hard to understand her thoughts. To challenge the god of the underworld in the underworld, even the god Anu doesn't have such ability?"

Enkidu frowned tightly, this newborn Tian Zhisuo couldn't figure out why a god would do such an 'unbelievable' stupid thing.

"Although it sounds incomprehensible, it is indeed something that the arrogant goddess who regards money as her life will do."

As the king of Uruk, Gilgamesh had dealt with the city god of Uruk a lot before, and he knew what kind of virtue Ishtar was, so he was not surprised that this happened, and compared to In the mind of the goddess, the King of Gold is more concerned about her fate.

"Selius, did Ereshkigal punish her other than being stripped naked and hanging on the spear?" Seleus on the side.

"Although I really don't want to praise her, Ishtar is a smart and powerful existence. It is impossible to face her sister without making any preparations when she knows that she will be suppressed in the underworld. And once she Those who are ready to bring destruction to Hades cannot simply be hung on spears."

The King of Gold expressed his dissatisfaction by placing his hand on Serius' wine glass. He believed that his friend had concealed many "details" from him that he was very interested in. "Ereshkigal is a very just god. As long as you violate the laws of the underworld, even if the other party is your sister, you will never tolerate it."

Serius glanced at Gilgamesh who was beside him with 'gloating' and 'tell me about the tragedy of that goddess, I'm ready to laugh', then reached out to take Enki They all handed over the wine glasses and said thank you.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you Jill. Although Ishtar did make a lot of preparations to prevent his divine power from being unable to resist meeting Ereshkigal after being sealed by the underworld, but..."

Serius thought of the extra divine treasures on Hades, and Ishtar's expression of "why didn't I think of that" that remained on her face even if she turned into a corpse, it seemed that compared with death, that The off-line goddess cares about another thing more.

"Even the gods themselves will be directly suppressed by the rules of the underworld. How do you think those artifacts that only have divine power can resist the majesty of the underworld? Ishtar has no ability to cause damage to the underworld, Ereshkiga Le also has no reason to..."

"Huh ha ha ha ha ha ha! In other words, that guy not only failed to achieve his goal, but also put his life and treasure on it, ha ha ha ha ha ha! This king really wants to see the expression of the useless goddess at that time, the loss of treasure I'm afraid it will make that guy more uncomfortable than losing his life. Hahahahahaha!"

Seleus had expected Gilgamesh to be disappointed to hear that Ishtar had escaped other punishments, but he didn't want to be startled by the sudden burst of laughter.

I saw Gilgamesh lying on Enkidu's lap, clutching his chest and laughing wildly, looking like he couldn't stop at all.

Seleus looked at his friend opposite with puzzled eyes, and Enkidu, who also looked confused, spread his hands, indicating that he himself was not aware of Jill's situation.

After laughing for a long while, Gilgamesh sat up straight while supporting the green-haired beauty's legs until his abdomen hurt and his whole body became weak.

"How many pieces? How many pieces? Don't tell me, let me guess: a crown that represents status, two earrings that protect life, and a cloak that resists the wind of the underworld... Hahahahaha! No! A small I can't help laughing out loud just thinking about it...hahahaha!"

As soon as Gilgamesh sat down, he put his upper body in front of Serius, and stretched out a hand to show the number of Ishtar's treasures, but the King of Gold who couldn't help laughing could only Lying on Serius' body weakly, even so, he laughed intermittently.

"Are you a young girl who is easy to be laughed at? Neither Enki nor I can feel the point of the joke at all." Pushing his friend aside with his hand, Seleus's face was full of disgust.

"That's because you don't understand the situation of Ishtar. The goddess who lacks the golden rule lost her treasure, and she delivered it to her door herself. When I think of the expression of that useless goddess..."

"Lock it—"

The laughter stopped abruptly, and Enkidu, who couldn't bear it anymore, directly tied up Gilgamesh, who was laughing all the time, with a lock, and wrapped around Gilgamesh's mouth intimately a few times.After eliminating the noise of the palace, Enkidu placed his seat next to Serius, his big green eyes full of curiosity.

"Selius, since Ishtar has been killed, and Ereshkigal is a fair and strict goddess, how did you bring Ishtar back?"

The corners of his eyes twitched and he glanced at Gilgamesh, who could only move his feet and neck. Only then did Seleus realize that the beauty with a gentle smile in front of him was the darkest one among the three of them.

"Actually, Ishtar himself has a backup. Enki fabricated two elves as foreign aid and went to the underworld to save Ishtar..."

......

The surrounding scenery is like a gloomy and pitch-black cave, only a trace of light blue light allows people to barely see the road under their feet.

The rules of the underworld have no effect on Seleus, he can fly directly in front of the bone giant.However, Serius, who was born in the underworld and had a good impression of the god of the underworld, still decided to abide by the rules here, and walked towards the deepest step by step.

"Huh?" After walking a few steps, Seleus found that there were rows of slender objects like birdcages on both sides of the road, and there was a blue flame-like thing inside them.The light in the entire cave is emitted through them, and the top without them is truly dark.

"Soul? It's completely different from the one in Greece." Seleus walked to a birdcage and looked curiously at the blue soul fire inside.

"But why lock up the soul?" Seleus frowned.

In Greece, the souls of the dead can still maintain their human form, and the underground kingdom is no different from the world on the ground.But in Sumer, these souls without human form were locked in cages. What did that Ereshkigal want to do...

"call--"

Even though it was the underground Hades, there was a biting wind of death blowing. Even Serius would feel a bit of psychological discomfort after being blown by this cold wind.

'Desolate world, dead cold wind. '

Shaking his head lightly, Serius planned to move on towards his goal, but just as he raised his foot, from the corner of his eyes, he saw that the cages that restricted the soul actually resisted the roar of the wind of death, and even the gods The unbearable cold wind has no effect on the dead souls of these mortals.

"This world doesn't seem to be as bad as it looks." Frowning brows relaxed, and Serius took a step forward, feeling a lot more relaxed.

Following the light of the soul in the cage, Seleus soon came to a stone gate. The closed gate blocked all roads, and there were dark cliffs on the left and right sides.

"If you want to obey the rules, do you have to go through the stone gate?" Some curiously knocked on the gate erected in front of him. The uniqueness of the underworld in other worlds made Seleus very interested.

"Ask!"

The stone door in front of him suddenly lit up, hoarse, indifferent, accompanied by the sound of bones rubbing together.

"Those who have fallen into the underworld, please answer the way of existence of the soul—"

"Is the test of the question-and-answer method? It feels very similar to Master Ra's place." Seleus recalled his past experience. From his experience, generally this kind of question-and-answer test set up in the underworld is for the soul of the answerer. Questioning is fair and rational, good and evil are equal, and whether it is correct or not depends entirely on the value of the respondent.

"The sky has a beginning, the earth has an end, and everything has its end. So, those who have fallen into the underworld, what is the end of everything—"

"..."

Seleus fell silent. What's going on in this situation like finding the answer in the question during an exam?Isn't he answering the test of Hades?

"Survivors, please answer as soon as possible—"

"Death, death is the end of everything." Upon sensing the urging of the gods, Seleus immediately said his answer.Even without the previous prompt, 'death' was Serius' only answer.

"The correct answer—"

Accompanied by the voice of the gods, the stone door slowly opened.

"Is it that simple?"

Serius stepped into the stone door tentatively, and after finding nothing abnormal, he continued to move forward, and soon came to the second door.

"Question! The living, life determines his destiny from birth. The gods rule the world, and the king governs the country. The life gap between the poor and the rich is so huge, so in this world full of various injustices, the most just what's-"

"Death, everything has its time to decay, and death is the most just existence in the natural world." He answered without hesitation, and Seleus himself understood death like this.

"The correct answer—"...

"Ask! The meaning of life is laughter, happiness, the sky and the flowers that bloom in the sun...beautiful, so what is the meaning of death to you—"
