The more important thing in Gilgamesh's mouth is naturally Uruk, the city-state.
His notoriety still exists on this land, but the people of Uruk can clearly feel the changes that this king has undergone in the past few years.
Although it is still terrifying and supreme, as if it is impossible to even look up, there are some changes that the common people can experience personally.
Food production has increased, and there are more monsters around the city, but safety remains the same. Other industries are also prospering, and there have even been fewer starvation deaths in winter in the past two years.
Such changes can be felt and seen by the common people.
This is Gilgamesh's achievement, the achievement of full confidence.
But what the people don't know is that the relationship between the king and the gods seems to have undergone some changes...
There are also Ananu and Enkidu who give warriors courage and wisdom to the people. The news of Ananu's return from the underworld was announced to the entire city-state by King Gilgamesh, which attracted all the people to cheer and celebrate, and even held a grand ceremony.
A banquet was held to praise such a great achievement.
That is returning from the underworld! Returning from the abyss of the land of death!
However, while the people were rejoicing, the gods belonging to Uruk quietly released Ma Anna, and under the light of his father, the moon god Nanna, he flew into the sky and headed towards his hometown.
Heading towards the Anunnaki realm.
...
"Ishtar is gone."
After two days, Ishtar did not come back. Gilgamesh called Ananu and Enkidu to the front hall and said with a serious face.
"Are you not planning to come back again?"
Ananu felt a little weird.
Escape is not something that the goddess would do.
"It's not clear, but according to what Kurgalu said, Ishtar flew away under the moonlight." Gilgamesh summoned Kurgalu before and got some information from him.
Moonlight may not have any special meaning to ordinary people, but it is different for Ishtar, because the moon is her father.
"Going back to find your father?"
Ananu had a strange expression on his face.
"Do gods also react like this because of emotional troubles?" Enkidu thought thoughtfully, "But the moon god doesn't seem to care about his daughter."
Nanna is powerful. As the father of the sun god Utu, the Venus god Ishtar, and the god of the underworld Ereshkigal, his strength is considered to be in the first echelon even among the Anunnaki, and he can even
A brief fight with Enki.
But the problem is that his character is almost equal to that of the great god Enlil.
He doesn't care about worldly affairs and only thinks about his own purity. It is said that this is the reason why he only lets the moon rise in the sky at night.
All he wants is peace and quiet, everything else has nothing to do with him.
Because of this character, when Ishtar died in the underworld and Ishtar's maid Ninshubul came to look for Nanna and wanted him to rescue his own daughter, Nanna didn't care about Ishtar at all.
Er, he drove Ninshubur away impatiently.
In the end, it was Enki who rescued Ishtar.
"No matter how Ishtar does it, I think we all have to be prepared. That goddess is a relatively standard psychopath. We can't use common sense to speculate on her." Gilgamesh pinched the bridge of his nose, and then
He smiled and said, "But this is actually good news."
"If Ishtar goes to the God Realm, he will naturally bring the news of Ananu's return from the underworld to the God Realm." He leaned forward and made a movement that could give his lumbar spine a little rest, "This way
If so, we can at least achieve our original intention.”
The gods are a group of cowardly losers. The underworld can be equated with death, and Ishtar, the dead god, is the best negative teaching material.
The news of Ananu's return from the underworld will definitely make those gods suspicious and jealous, so they will not dare to take action.
They had long wanted to get involved in this matter. Although Gilgamesh had stopped the war and the worship of gods had been restored, the most critical issue was not as simple as ordinary worship.
It's that the gods don't look good.
We reported this news to the Great God, who ordered Utu to create Ananu and Enkidu. What was it for?
They were going to kill Gilgamesh who didn't respect them!
But how do they do it now?
Instead of killing Gilgamesh, they became friends with Gilgamesh!
And one of them actually went to the underworld and returned successfully!
None of the developments of things are in line with the wishes of those little gods, and it has been like this from the beginning.
So the gods are very unhappy and displeased, but they don’t know what Ananu did in the underworld. They will be afraid to move because they know that Ananu has the strength to kill them.
Weapons can kill gods, this is normal.
But this is just a way to delay time. I don’t know what the Anunnaki will do in the future...
Ananu was a little worried that Ishtar would be used by those gods, and he gave a special reminder when he left the temple two days ago, but now it seems...
That woman's mind is very magical.
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads together.
There are some things that they can't control.
...
Hades.
"Hmph, hum, hum~"
Ereshkigal did not wear a hat, but showed his beautiful face with a happy expression.
This has been rare for thousands of years, that is, because no other living creature can come to the underworld. Otherwise, if you see the mistress of the underworld like this, you will definitely be frightened.
Ereshkigal has a gloomy personality. This is a fact known to all gods. But now, this gloomy and powerful god is actually laughing? And he is singing while laughing?
In front of Ereshkigal is a flower field.
This flower has a metal-like rhizome that can drill through rocks and take root in the rock. Then, on the rhizome, two green leaves and a small yellow flower grow.
It's not particularly beautiful, nor does it have much fragrance. It's just an ordinary and ordinary little yellow flower called the flower of Ananu, but it has a reassuring feeling.
Ereshkigal has been cultivating this flower field during this period, which makes her very busy. After all, she will not forget her responsibilities. She also has to make gun thresholds for those Galula spirits.
Let them rest in peace after death.
These flowers are her best means of entertainment after work.
