Chapter 68 Ishtar
Chapter 68 Ishtar
Lucifer seemed to be choked, staring at Ali Kumon for a while without speaking.
"Actually...it's pretty good." Alikumon pursed his lips and smiled, looked at Lucifer's flattery against his will, and then seemed to feel a little inappropriate, so he added: "But I'm not used to watching Seeing that these habits are very unique... well, small animals."
"It's just some creations." Lucifer said so, he looked at Ali Kumeng, his eyes showed interest, he looked Ali Kumon up and down, and asked: "But you, since you have become the main god, why don't you come here?" What is my Dark Temple doing?"
Lucifer knew that his trump card to seduce Ali Kumon had always been the godhead of the main god, but now, Ali Kumon had become the main god, and there was nothing in his hands that could make Ali Kumon's heart flutter.
Lucifer didn't know that Alikumon was actually still concerned about the treasures in his warehouse, because Alikumon didn't seem to be a god who lacked money, not to mention that Apollo, the supreme god of light, would never be short of money. own lover.
But the purpose of Alikumon's visit to the Dark Temple this time was not for the treasure in Lucifer's warehouse, but for the goddess who was sitting behind Lucifer's throne at this moment, quietly looking at him.
"I'm here this time, not because I want the godhead of the main god." Alikumeng said, he paused, and looked up at Ishtar who was sitting behind Lucifer, the noble goddess was also looking at it at this moment His eyes were full of judgment.
Ali Kumon smiled at her, turned his gaze to Lucifer, and said, "I'm here for Ishtar."
The Goddess of Nature, who was always in the shadow of Lucifer's throne, looked at Ali Kumon unexpectedly.
She is not familiar with this newly promoted main god.
The first time the other party opened his mouth, it was for her, which was really beyond his expectation.
Lucifer was surprised, but there was no surprise on his face. He just looked at Alikumon with great interest, and asked with a smile, "Does Apollo know that you came to the Temple of Darkness alone for Ishtar?"
"I probably know it. I didn't hide it from him." Ali Kumeng looked at Lucifer, and he didn't receive any instigation from him at all. "Actually, Apollo and I don't need to hide anything from each other."
Lucifer raised the corner of his mouth, and a flash of light flashed in his red eyes, as if he had seen through the soul of Ali Kumon directly through the cover of his appearance. After a while, Lucifer chuckled and said, "You're lying."
Ali Kumeng was startled. When Lucifer's eyes fell on him, he felt as if his soul was exposed to the outside world nakedly, and he was easily seen through.
This feeling was not good. Alikumon looked at Lucifer for a while, and didn't feel flustered or anything else because of the other party's conclusion.
"I'm not lying." He just said that, very frankly.
Although he did not tell Apollo the secret of the existence he relied on, he didn't think it was concealed from Apollo.
Because when he used those programs to achieve his goal, he didn't do anything special to cover up, so he let Apollo see it thoroughly.
Apollo probably also had some guesses about his special methods, and Ali Kumeng thought he was definitely a very special existence.
After all, he obtained this body with a human soul, and also obtained a godhead, which is definitely a unique existence in the world of Greek mythology.
There is no one before, and it is estimated that there will be no one in the future.
Otherwise, how could Zeus and Apollo be distracted by him in the first place?
Apollo must have known in his heart that he had some special techniques, especially when the emergency procedure tore apart the space before, Ali Cumon exposed too many things.
Apollo is so smart, and he still has the talent of prophecy, how could he not see his specialness, but Apollo didn't ask, and Ali Kumon didn't bother to explain himself—he had a question about how to talk to a person from the magic plane. Explaining high technology is still a bit vague.
Because he himself doesn't know what's going on with the system he activated.
But after so long, he also knows that these procedures are of no harm to him, and the occasional small flaws are harmless.
"Don't lie in front of the devil who can see through people's hearts." Lucifer said so, looking quite relaxed, "The stupid and fragile disguise is just like a joke."
"I didn't lie." Ali Kumon reiterated, seeing that Lucifer was unmoved and not angry, he just made his own request: "If possible, I hope to have a private chat with Ishtar."
"You probably don't know each other." Lucifer just said that without nodding or shaking his head.
"As a god of nature, isn't it normal for me to come to the Supreme God of Nature?" asked Ali Kumeng, "What does this have to do with our acquaintance? If Ishtar didn't come to you, I don't have to go all the way to the Dark Temple."
The implication is that he really does not rarely come to the Dark Temple. If it weren't for Ishtar's reasons, Alikumon probably wouldn't even have the idea of stepping into the Dark Territory.
"Unfortunately, the place you are now belongs to my territory." Lucifer smiled, especially shamelessly, "Ishtar, would you like to talk to him alone?"
The Goddess of Nature hesitated for a moment, and replied, "It's right here."
It has been a long, long time since no one came to her, Ishtar thought in a daze.
Ever since she had turned her back on her best friend in the Exiled Lands for Lucifer, no one had visited her in this dark, lifeless place.
Even if she worked hard to decorate the dark territory with vitality, no one would come to see her.
Even her servants are the same.
How long has this been the case?
Ishtar has the final say, at least three or four thousand years.
As soon as Ishtar finished speaking, Lucifer raised his chin and looked at Ali Kumon in a victorious gesture.
Ali Cumon wanted to roll his eyes.
He ignored Lucifer's dead look, but looked directly at Ishtar, "Are you sure you want to say it here?"
Ishtar froze for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.
Ali Kumeng is not her former good daughter, the Goddess of Life, so there is really no need to find a place alone to whisper.
And she was not familiar with Ali Kumon at all.
She really couldn't think of what Ali Kumon had to say to her.
"...Then let me put it this way." Ali Kumon sighed, "Ishtar, do you still remember Uruk in Mesopotamia?"
"You!" Ishtar suddenly stood up, staring at Alikumon with wide eyes.
Lucifer's eyes turned to Ishtar, who rarely lost his composure, and looked at her in surprise.
"Follow me to my temple." Regardless of Lucifer's reaction, Ishtar stepped down the steps and strode away.
Ali Kumon grinned, turned around and followed behind Ishtar, glanced back at Lucifer, and bared his teeth at him.
Lucifer didn't seem to see his provocation, until the figures of the two natural gods disappeared from his vision, he laughed a little happily.
Ali Kumon once said that he knew the secrets of almost everyone, and now it seems that it is not true.
Ishtar has hardly lost his composure in front of him. The goddess of nature has always maintained a very calm and quiet posture since she met him.
Even when Lucifer showed interest in others, she never showed any emotion—of course, those creatures died quietly in the end.
This kind of thing was undoubtedly done by Ishtar, and it was done quite cleanly.
Lucifer clearly knew the murderer behind it, but he couldn't find any trace of Ishtar's action.
This keeps the dark supreme god always fresh and curious about the natural supreme god.
Lucifer did not forget that his and Cain's godheads were also thanks to Ishtar's blessing. Although they fought for it themselves, Ishtar's role as the leader was immeasurable.
This is why Lucifer never drove Ishtar out of the Dark Temple, and even allowed her to sit at the same height as him.
——Of course not equal. In the territory of darkness, even the supreme god of nature has to shy away from darkness.
Ishtar lost her father Anu after arriving in the exile, and her growth rate was beyond everyone's expectations.
As the goddess of life who arrived in the land of exile at the same time as her, she has a very thorough understanding. Watching Ishtar grow stronger from a spoiled and willful little girl who stumbled and touched her head full of bags, not only climbed up Naturally, the position of the supreme god also brought in the goddess of life who did not have much pursuit of the supreme god.
So she always sat behind Lucifer, hiding in the darkness, without speaking.
It is precisely because of this that Lucifer has a very high tolerance for this interesting and good-looking goddess.
After all, although the other party is also the supreme god, he has always maintained a lower-level attitude than him, and has never pointed fingers at dark affairs because of his tolerance.
That's why Lucifer was very interested in Ali Kumon, who could make Ishtar lose his composure to the point where he could hardly care about his etiquette and leave his temple, and the word in his mouth that he didn't know whether it was a person's name or a place name.
"Mesopotamia... Uruk..." Lucifer chewed on these two words for a while. After a while, his brows frowned, and he tapped on the handrail lightly. He looked up at the still quietly standing below. Loyal subordinate, "Cain."
"I am here, Lord Satan."
"I think these two names are familiar." Lucifer pondered, as if confirming his own thoughts, slightly nodded, "I've heard of it."
Cain and Lucifer came from the same world. If Lucifer had heard of these two names, Cain should not be unfamiliar either.
As Cain, who has walked in the human world for a long time, he understands the human world better than Lucifer.
Cain pondered for a while, "It did happen."
"But it has nothing to do with Ishtar." Lucifer said, "I have never heard of other gods besides... Jehovah, and the name Ishtar has never been mentioned among the angels. .”
Cain responded, to express his agreement with the other party's idea.
They want to go deeper, but they feel that the things they touched are blank, and they can't even continue thinking.
The two gods glanced at each other, and finally gave up the idea of continuing to pursue tacitly.
Even the gods would not try to challenge the authority of the rules, and now they have obviously touched something that the rules do not want them to know.
In the temple of Ishtar in the Dark Territory, Ali Kumon sat opposite the graceful goddess of nature.
Ali Kumon was a little surprised that Ishtar didn't put on a high profile to him. Ali Kumon was already ready to be ridiculed by Ishtar.
He was not surprised by Ishtar's meekness in front of Lucifer, because the tenderness in her eyes was too obvious when she looked at Lucifer, and she didn't hide it.
It's just that in private, Alikumon didn't think that Ishtar's character would be so good.
After all, judging from the legends related to Ishtar, this goddess is really not a gentle type.
"I've never heard of your name." Ishtar straightened it out, straight to the point, and said, "Unless you are a newly born god after I left."
"No." Ali Kumon was also happy to have such a straightforward conversation. The gods always like others to add various honorific titles or other praises in front of their names. Facing those main gods, every time I want to say hello, my teeth feel sore.
Ishtar's eyes dimmed for a moment after being rejected by Ali Kumon. Lucifer was always lukewarm to her, and her best and only friend no longer came to her. Ishtar was too lonely. For a long time, he thought that Ali Kumon would come from the same world as her, and maybe he would bring her news of the Father God who had always loved her.
Unfortunately not, Ishtar wanted to sigh, but he pulled himself together quickly and asked, "How do you know me? I don't think Lucifer will mention me to you."
"Natural elves told me about your existence." Alikumon paused, and found that Ishtar did not show his offended anger, and then continued: "Gilgamesh and Enkidu have come The Land of Exile."
Ishtar's breathing stopped for a moment, and he seemed a little dazed. After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at Ali Kumon, but he didn't ask him how he knew her existence, because he could directly tell Gilga The names of Mesh and Enkidu must be very familiar with her and the world she once lived in.
Ishtar breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "As a god?"
"It was only a human being, but now it is a god." Alikumon sighed, "Enkidu has been here for 23 years, in the Efe Empire, he was the king of the Efe Empire before—he used to believe in life The kingdom of the goddess."
Ishtar listened without speaking.
"The Goddess of Life should have a good relationship with you." Alikumeng said, unceremoniously stabbing the knife in Ishtar's heart.
Ishtar looked a little tired, she shook her head and said, "I have no contact with her...now."
"The Goddess of Life was offended by Enkidu, but she couldn't punish Enkidu because someone was against her." Ali Kumon told Ishtar, "And now Enkidu has also obtained the godhead of the God of Life, Gil Gamesh has mastered the godhead of this storm, I guess they will take action after they know your existence."
"You told me that you wanted me to do something, didn't you?" Ishtar looked at Alikumon and said firmly, "You have grievances with Gilgamesh and Enki."
"Yes." Ali Kumon admitted generously, "You have to do something, don't you? They will definitely not let you go."
"You're right, Gilgamesh always takes revenge." Ishtar snorted coldly, "Even if they don't know I exist, you will tell them."
Ali Kumon smiled and said nothing.
Ishtar looked at the newly promoted god in front of him, and after a while, he said, "Shall we cooperate?"
"I guess, if you have something to do..." Ali Kumeng didn't answer Ishtar's words, but looked at her with a half-smile, "The Goddess of Life will definitely stand up and help you."
Ishtar's expression froze for a moment.
"Oh, if you hadn't abandoned the natural elves, and even made the goddess of life speak out against the natural elves, and even almost let them perish, the natural elves would have become your vanguard without hesitation just like 300 years ago. front."
This kind of thing never happened even if Ali Kumeng searched through the dossiers recorded by the nature elves.
Because the relationship between the God of Nature and the God of Life in the past dynasties is quite good, maybe it is some kind of fate, or a blessing from the world, the nature elves have never worried about the problems of future generations.
It is precisely because there are no worries about the future that the natural elves who do not like wars will invest in the previous rebellion under the call of the gods they believe in.
But Ishtar deserted her followers.
The natural Supreme God lowered his eyes and was speechless for a while.
In order to please Lucifer, she did too many things that she herself could not understand.
But she doesn't regret it.
"So, what exactly do you want to say?" Ishtar looked up and asked.
"I didn't want to say anything, I was just complaining for the goddess of life and the nature elves." Alikumon was a little surprised by Ishtar's calm and calm posture now, he shrugged, "Your personality is a little gentle I wasn't expecting it—you weren't like this before."
Ishtar snorted: "Humans will change, and so will the gods."
"I know." Alikumon raised his lips and sat up straight. "Then, let's talk seriously about Gilgamesh and Enkidu."
Ishtar was not as irritating as expected, which surprised Alikumon.
But such a calm and calm goddess of nature made him feel quite good, at least he knew the bottom line, had a common enemy and knew each other's weaknesses.
It is much more reliable than Enkidu's empty promises before.
It is worth cooperating.
Alikumon wasn't worried at all about whether Ishtar would turn his back on him.
Because of Gilgamesh's character, after knowing the existence of Ishtar, he will definitely pursue and beat her fiercely, and will not stop until she is killed.
The ideal situation is that Lucifer was involved when Gilgamesh took revenge on Ishtar, and it would be great to involve the entire dark camp.
Ali Kumon was talking to Ishtar with a smile.
Apollo, who returned to the Temple of Light and stabilized the floating mood of the gods, sat on his throne and played with the warm magic ball in his hand.
The gods have reported all the recent things, and they have all left his temple at this moment.
Apollo closed his eyes, reading the message of the ball in his hand and the gentle divine power that made him feel comfortable.
After he finished reading all the information, he suddenly opened his eyes with deep eyes.
Creation. World God's Light Inheritance...
What Ali Kumon gave him was really a...surprise.
Apollo took a deep breath and stroked the ball in his hand.
"Rhea." Apollo called out in a low voice, a little hoarse because of excitement.
After getting the answer, Apollo disappeared into the temple in an instant.
And in the dark Effie Empire, which could not see its fingers, Enkidu and Gilgamesh who had returned to normal welcomed one of their guests.
The evil god, whom the gods had never been able to find, sensed the two extremely powerful gods next to them in terms of godhood.
"Welcome to the world of gods." There was an obvious smile in Loki's voice.
"I am Loki, the god of... the Aesir, the god of magic."
