"Is this the underworld?"

Standing on the stone bridge, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked down at the land below.

It seems that he has arrived in the underworld, but...

"So small..."

Matthew whispered to himself.

Yes, this underworld is very small. Although it is about half of Uruk in terms of area, you must know that Uruk is just a city on the Mesopotamian Plain, and it is not the largest city.

But this underworld is indeed the only underworld in all of Mesopotamia.

Not to mention covering the whole of Mesopotamia, but no matter what, it must be a tenth.

However, the underworld that now appeared in front of them was far smaller than they imagined.

To be honest, I'm a little disappointed.

It's like walking through an eighteen-lane road and passing through a city gate that reaches the sky and the earth. I thought I would see the Lingxiao Palace, which is as vast as a small world. What I finally arrived at was a ninety-square-meter dwelling.

The gap between ideal and reality is really too big.

In addition to its small size, this underworld is also very desolate. There are only dark stones and blue soul flames, and nothing else.

In the land of the underworld, there is an obviously tidied open space, with several pillars as boundaries, and a small, slightly raised flat stone in the middle.

The end of the stone bridge is a small open space like this.

Everyone walked off the stone bridge and landed on the open space. They looked around, but saw nothing.

Palm-sized Ishtar said: "This is Ereshkigal's palace, she must be here."

"palace?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked around.

Can this slightly flat open space be called a palace?

Not to mention comparing it with Ishtar's Golden Temple or Gilgamesh's Palace, any building on the ground is more luxurious than this one.

Because this is just an open space, the only thing that can be related to the palace is probably the four pillars.

Call this area a palace...

For some reason, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly felt like the goddess of the underworld was so pitiful.

Luo Zhi noticed Ereshkigal's location through what he saw and heard, and said: "Come out, Ereshkigal."

His eyes locked directly, making Ereshkigal instantly understand that the person in front of him had noticed that his hidden figure had been noticed.

No longer hidden at the moment, the power of the underworld turned into crimson blood, forming a tornado and rising into the sky, condensing into a ball of blood in mid-air.

In a moment, the blood ball transformed into a ten-meter-tall monster with white bones intertwined with blood and water, revealing the cold air of the underworld.

The cold air swept around, blowing a gust of cold wind, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was the weakest at the scene. Even though she was wearing a defensive suit, her body surface temperature was directly dropped to minus six degrees under the extreme cold.

Luo Zhi waved his hand and turned it into a barrier to block the cold wind. Then he stood in front of everyone and said, "Ereshkigar, we finally meet."

Among the monsters, Ereshkigal's expression changed suddenly.

first?_??

Then Σ(°△°|||)︴

Finally (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Although she is as arrogant and dishonest as Ishtar, and her thoughts have gone astray because she has been alone in the underworld for a long time, she still has a high IQ.

Luo Zhi's words made Ereshkigal immediately realize that the other party seemed to have seen through his disguise a long time ago.

At first, he used Ishtar's vest to do whatever he wanted, but now he was blocked at the door.

For a moment, I don't know whether it was from embarrassment or the atmosphere, but Ereshkigal's cheeks suddenly turned red.

"Who...who knows you? Don't pretend that we are familiar with each other!"

Luo Zhi smiled and said: "Maybe we don't really know each other very well, but at least we have sat together and chatted several times, so we can still be considered acquaintances."

Mashu asked: "Has Lord Thor met Ereshkigal before?"

"It can be considered that we have met before. Ereshkigal and Ishtar are sisters, with similar spiritual bases and wavelengths. So when Ishtar arrived, Ereshkigal also arrived at the same time.

, and both of them are in the same spirit body. During the day, it is Ishtar, and at night, it is Ereshkigal."

"I told you why I always felt weird before. It turns out you already knew it!"

Ishtar flew in front of Luo Zhi and said angrily.

Luo Zhidao: "Although they share the same body and are sisters, one is the goddess of Venus and the other is the goddess of the underworld, but their auras are still very different. I am also the God of Thunder after all. How could I not be able to tell such a big difference?"

"Enough!"

Inside the monster's body, Ereshkigal's cheeks were already red, and steam was coming out of his head.

In embarrassment, he just shouted and interrupted Luo Zhi's discussion, saying: "That's nonsense. How can I, the majestic goddess of the underworld, borrow someone else's body?! Hum╭(╯^╰)╮, all of them

It’s slander!”

The light condensed in the monster's hand, forming a spear with a handle in the middle and wide blades at both ends. It was Ereshkigal's Noble Phantasm, Meslamthea, the Temple of Heat.

Even in this underworld, which is colder than winter, even if it is held by the goddess of the underworld, this spear is full of light and heat.

That is the light and heat that will never be extinguished in this underworld, in the heart of the goddess of the underworld.

Even if it is sent to the underworld as a cornerstone from birth.

Even if I have never been out in thousands of years.

Even if the boring work of condensing the soul continues forever.

It still hasn’t changed!

"Masit!"

Mashu immediately summoned his shield and appeared in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka on guard.

Ishtar also seems to be ready for battle.

Luo Zhi smiled lightly and said, "Don't be angry. As a friend, I prepared a gift before I came to see you this time."

"Gift?!"

The movement of the monster's hand stopped immediately.

Luo Zhi, on the other hand, used the ability to manifest fantasy to condense a red, extremely beautiful and enchanting flower in his hand.

"That is..."

"Flower of the Other Shore."

"Higanbana?"

I don't know Ereshkigal.

Matthew couldn't help but said: "The flower of the other side is said to live in the underworld, on the other side of the underworld. It is the only plant in the underworld and can guide the dead souls to reincarnate in the underworld."

Luo Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, this is a flower that can survive and multiply in the underworld. I give it to you."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and sent the red flowers flying towards the monster.

Ereshkigal hurriedly canceled the monster form and transformed back into her original divine body in the light. But she was a girl who looked exactly like Ishtar, but with brilliant blond hair and a short robe.

.

She flew directly to the crimson flower on the other side, clasped her hands together, and gently held the flower in her palms. She also specially used divine power to protect it. It seemed that the gentle collision between the flower and her palm could make this flower bloom.
