Gilgamesh hugged his chest, looked down at his own Uruk, and spoke calmly to the three people around him and behind him.
Listening to this, the three people had different expressions.
Ananu frowned, Enkidu pursed his lips, and Siduri... widened his eyes.
She still didn't say anything, but what Gilgamesh said made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"...Is it because of the Bull of Heaven?" After a two-second pause, Ananu changed back and looked at Gilgamesh's side face and asked.
He had already taken out his key in his hand, and looked as if he was going to beat Ishtar up.
Gilgamesh shook his head.
"This king should actually be blamed for this matter, but let Ishtar continue to hold that clay tablet."
He put down his hands, sighed, and then sat down on the edge of the palace.
"Ever since I knew that this singularity would eventually occur in Mesopotamia and in my own Uruk, I was indeed frightened for a while, but after knowing that it was bound to happen, I
Calm down."
"I have done a lot to learn magic, re-establish the warcraft front, and expand my power to recruit troops. But in fact, I know it. I have known it from the beginning."
He lowered his head: "Uruk's destruction... is destined."
"This city that I am proud of and have devoted all my love to will be destroyed in this disaster for all mankind."
"Inevitable."
"king......"
Siduli put a hand on her chest and looked at Wang's back.
Gilgamesh seemed not to have heard Siduri's words. He raised his head again and looked straight ahead.
"Since that time, I have begun to ask myself a question repeatedly and think about it."
"What does Uruk mean to human beings and to human history?"
The wind blew past the ears of the three of them, curling up all their hair.
There is no difference between them.
Maybe it's a king, maybe it's a weapon, maybe it's a consul.
But there is essentially no difference.
They are all just a part of this world.
Human history is very long, spanning countless human lifetimes. At this point, Ananu and Enkidu may have a say.
"The destruction of Uruk is inevitable. I, the king, must consider one thing: what can be achieved by the destruction of Uruk."
Gilgamesh did not answer the previous question, but continued to talk to several people and tell his thoughts.
"So this king told the people of Uruk everything, when the Warcraft Front was built half a year ago."
"They have not left. They still have confidence in this city and still believe that I can withstand this disaster."
"but......"
After saying this, he fell silent.
Although he did not continue speaking, Ananu, Enkidu, and Siduri actually already knew what he meant.
He wants to become the king who can withstand disasters, but there are some things that cannot be avoided by knowing them in advance.
"Ananu, I remember that you and Ereshkigal planned to attract Tiamat to the underworld."
Gilgamesh stood up.
Before Ananu could answer, he turned his head, looked at Ananu and continued: "Then let Tiamat enter the underworld from Uruk!"
"Let Ereshkigal move the entrance to the underworld from the Persian Gulf to Uruk. When she comes chasing that breath, Uruk will prepare the most grand welcome ceremony for her! What do you think?"
He looked at Ananu, his eyes were calm, but his words sounded like a madman.
He didn't lose his mind, he just felt that... his city was worthless and should not be destroyed.
Hearing such words, Ananu's eyes... became strange.
"...What's wrong?" King Gilgamesh looked confused.
"Let me explain." Ananu switched to Enkidu and smiled helplessly.
"At the beginning, Ananu was cursed by the gods and did not die immediately. The most fundamental reason was that he gave the flower of Ananu to Ereshkigal. Ereshkigal used the flower with his own
Divine power is planted all over the divine world, and those flowers are equivalent to a part of Ananu, so before Ananu dies, those flowers will die instead of Ananu."
"At that time, the goddess Ereshkigal, because the flowers of Ananu that she had worked so hard to cultivate were dying one after another, she wanted to come to Uruk crazily, so she used her power to bring the flowers of the underworld to Uruk.
The position moved with all its strength, now... it is directly below Uruk."
Gilgamesh and Siduri looked at their feet together.
"Two days ago, Ananu was discussing with Ereshkigal how to move the underworld back." Enkidu added and shrugged, "Looking at the situation now, it seems that there is no need to move it.
."
"But Jill..."
Enkidu had a look of pain in his eyes.
"People of Uruk..."
"Are you going to be destroyed with this city too?"
"I am not a stupid person, don't worry." Gilgamesh waved his hand, "Half a year ago, some citizens of Uruk, mainly composed of women and children, had already gathered under the arrangement of this king.
Went to the north."
The city is just a symbol of Uruk. The real Uruk is composed of the people. As long as the people still exist, Uruk will exist forever.
"Is this so..." Enkidu sighed.
He still...feels sad for the people of Uruk, but the disaster has already happened and there is no sacrifice, which is a fallacy.
"Haha, don't look sad, Enkidu, don't forget that your face is still very young. Making such an expression will damage your beauty." Gilgamesh laughed twice, "That's it.
This is one of the few good news for me. If this is the case, some of my plans can be carried out smoothly, but——"
He returned to his original posture and looked at the city.
"Siduli, come forward."
After watching for two seconds, he suddenly spoke and gave an order to Siduli behind him.
"Huh?...Yes." Siduli was stunned, but still carried out Gilgamesh's order, took a step forward, stood beside King Gilgamesh, and joined him
, looking at the city.
"Take a good look at the Uruk that belongs to my king." Gilgamesh didn't care about the final destruction, with a smile on his face.
"Remember it, and—"
"Before the last moment comes, be sincerely proud of it!"
The king of Uruk, standing at the highest place in Uruk, said this to his consul and close friend.
