Chapter 1,385 The God of Hades is Surprisingly Easy to Talk to
Ananu, who had been deprived of seven lives, stood in front of Ereshkigal.
It was an extremely huge Garula spirit, with a distinctive red aura wrapped around its blue skull, and a large black crown on its head.
Ananu stood there with a somewhat depressed look, raised his head, and looked at the huge red Garula spirit.
Ereshkigal was also sizing up Ananu.
"Disgusting, living life."
Two huge paws slapped Ananu's side, and Ereshkigal leaned down and stared at Ananu with his empty eyes.
"Why invade my underworld? Why enter my abode?"
"You clearly know that this is a forbidden place for the living."
Ereshkigal's body was surrounded by a terrifying cold air, and even a being like Ananu could not help but feel frozen.
The underworld is already cold and is the coldest place in the world. This is especially obvious around Ereshkigal.
But Ananu didn't care about the physical pain, because he knew that Enkidu was in the same pain as him, and he was extremely anxious.
The sense of oppression coming from Ereshkigal made Ananu understand that it might not be that simple to leave the underworld.
With this level of magic output, it is no wonder that even the great god Enlil had to pay the price of his own children to escape from the underworld. If it is in the underworld, no existence can surely defeat this terrifying queen of the underworld, not even the underworld.
Ananu may not be able to do it even if he has full power, even if he has a high-level special attack against divinity.
"I will tell you my situation and why I came to the underworld alone."
Ananu said in a weak voice.
"But I ask you now to allow your gatekeeper to return my life force to me."
When Ereshkigal heard Ananu's words, the aura and magic power on his body suddenly became violent.
But after hearing Ananu's next words, she stopped trying to destroy Ananu.
"My brother will suffer the same pain as me. He must be in a coma in Uruk by now."
"Please, please return your life force to me."
He kissed Ereshkigal's huge bone claws, with a hint of sad dejection in his voice.
"You... don't care about your own pain, you just want to save your brother?" Ereshkigal's voice contained stern questioning.
"I never care about my pain, because I know what the meaning of my birth is." Ananu just shook his head, as if he was very tired, sat on the ground, lowered his head and said, "
We were created by God, and my greatest significance is to serve as Enkidu’s shield, nothing more.”
"Everything else may be false, but I am extremely clear about this. It is true and will not change no matter what."
"So, I ask you..."
The red light in Ereshkigal's eyes flashed slightly, and he finally shook his head.
Ananu's heart sank.
But what Ereshkigal said made him feel better again.
"Many of your characteristics make it impossible for me to trust you. Therefore, I will only give you half of the vitality that was taken away, that is, three copies."
Ereshkigal raised his bone claws at the gatekeeper, and the gatekeeper understood and placed the three fragments of the Key to the Sky next to Ananu.
"Thank you, Mistress of the Underworld."
Ananu did not immediately pick up his life, but bowed solemnly to Ereshkigal, and then picked up the pieces of his own life.
Far away in Uruk, Enkidu, who was being cared for by Gilgamesh personally, had fallen into a coma. His eyelids twitched, making Gilgamesh tremble suddenly.
"Enkidu? Are you awake Enkidu?"
He held Enkidu's hand, nervously.
Enkidu's cold hands did not move at all, but Enkidu was still breathing.
Gilgamesh sighed involuntarily and looked to the southeast, looking at the vast sea beyond the Persian Gulf.
Ananu, come back soon, come back soon...
...
After integrating the vitality into his body again, Ananu finally felt better.
However, his own comfort is not what Ananu pursues, and he will not lie.
"In this way, Enkidu should be able to..."
He breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head, only to find that the huge red Garula spirit had disappeared.
"Huh?" He blinked blankly.
In addition to the huge Garula spirit missing, the gatekeeper carrying the birdcage has also disappeared.
Instead, what stood in front of him was a...god wearing a red robe and covering his face with a hood.
Ananu understood in an instant that this was the true posture of Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld.
"Is this your true attitude?"
Ereshkigal did not answer Ananu's question. She just placed the cage swaying with blue flames in front of Ananu, and then sat down on Ananu's bed.
Opposite Nanu.
"Tell me why you came to the underworld."
"I can feel that what you said is true, otherwise I would not let my gatekeeper return the life force to you."
"I don't hate people who tell the truth."
Ananu was slightly startled and scratched his face.
It turns out that in the legend, the mistress of the underworld who brutally whipped her own sister Ishtar to death and hung up Ishtar like bacon, was that easy to talk to?
Ananu thought for a moment, and soon understood why Ereshkigal did not believe in him before, and even threatened him.
He is a creation of the gods in the sky. Whether he is willing to admit it subjectively or not, this is a fact. Moreover, he comes from Uruk, and who is the patron saint of Uruk?
It’s Ereshkigal’s arch-enemy, Ishtar.
It is not surprising that Ereshkigal had doubts about himself.
"Then I will give you the reason why I have to go to the underworld."
Ananu began his narration, telling Ereshkigal everything he had experienced, as well as his, Enkidu, and Gilgamesh's plans.
Ereshkigal did not move at all, as if it were a dead thing, sitting there and listening quietly.
But on the other side of Uruk, her sisters were already uneasy.
Because Ishtar received the news - Enkidu, who fell into a deep sleep because Ananu entered the underworld, woke up.
