Chapter 980: Instructions Ereshkigal

"Ereshkigal?" Wu Ming spoke doubtful words, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The sage can see that he is very confused at the moment, Humbaba is like this, Ereshkigal is even more so.

But this is also what can be done.

Wu Ming only saw Ereshkigal once, and that was the last time he met Ereshkigal in the underground world near Mount Ebih, and at that moment, Ereshkigal's voice sounded full of majesty, completely befitting the Queen of the Great Below, The Goddess of the Netherworld. etc.

But the sound Ereshkigal made just now could be very different from the sound Ereshkigal made earlier, it was very different.

If it wasn't for Wu Ming to confirm that the other party was indeed Ereshkigal, he doubted whether Ereshkigal was disguised as Ishtar. After all, the voices of Ereshkigal and Ishtar just now were very similar.

"Cough cough Sure enough, you also came to my underworld, Dragon Sage."

Upon hearing Wu Ming's questioning voice, Ereshkigal immediately adjusted his voice and returned to his previous way of Queen of the Great Below.

Seeing Ereshkigal change his voice, Wu Ming didn't hold it in anymore.

"After all Humbaba is my partner, and the Gorgons are my enemy, I had to come here."

Wu Ming was at the side, while Humbaba was rubbing again.

However Ereshkigal sneered at this, but not at the relationship between Humbaba and Wu Ming, but at the unsolicited "provocation".

"You know, this is my underworld, you can't just enter, whether it's a human or a god. The last time I let you and the greedy goddess go was because I missed you so much, but that's okay. On behalf of my underworld, you can enter anytime, anywhere!!"

In an instant, a large amount of magic power was released from the huge Gallu Spirit, forming a wave of air, which made the surrounding temperature even lower.

However Wu Ming was a little unconcerned, and even wanted to laugh. However, this made Ereshkigal feel that Wu Ming was insulting her, so she became angrier, and the temperature of the underworld fell again and again. A layer of ice rose on Humbaba's fur.

Even Wu Ming felt a little cold, which made him couldn't help but admire Ereshkigal, but at the same time, his smile became even more intense.

However his smile was not due to his arrogance, Wu Ming's full laugh was entirely due to Ereshkigal.

"You'd better save your magic against the Gorgons."

As soon as Wu Ming's words came out, the Gallu spirit transformed by Ereshkigal couldn't help but be shocked.

Ereshkigal understood Wu Ming's meaning, and she immediately saw his current predicament.

Restricting the Gorgon that was completely contaminated with black mud at this time, had made Ereshkigal suffer, and she had divided his magic power to try to face Wu Ming face to face. A great burden, "adding bitterness" to everything.

Therefore, Wu Ming's smile was not to laugh at the current half-hearted Ereshkigal, he only thought that Ereshkigal was a little similar to Ishtar.

For a long time, Ishtar had always made people feel worried, but only to the extent of worrying. Humans do not have the meaning of "hatred" towards Ishtar, i.e. Ishtar is not an evil god, at most only a good God who does evil.

Ishtar is the most favored daughter of God, even if she starts committing crimes for some reason, the "crimes" are still not serious.

To give a simple example, in mythology, Dumuts and Nergal were trapped in the underworld by Ishtar and paid a certain price, but in general, as gods, this price was nothing, even if in the extreme, they could be resurrected even if they died.

There is also the Bull of Heaven that Ishtar expelled because of being humiliated by Gilgamesh, causing calamity to earth for seven years, resulting in no human harvest in Mesopotamia, but Ishtar only allowed the Bull of Heaven to destroy the land, and did not let it kill humans.

Ishtar is a daughter who often lets herself go but has a certain sense of proportion, even though the lower limit of her proportion is very low.

In short, in Wu Ming's view, as a god with different aspects from the same god as Ishtar, Ereshkigal wasn't bad either.

Ereshkigal is positioned as an evil god in mythology, the queen of the underworld who is responsible for death, and rules the underworld.

When not seeing Ereshkigal, Wu Ming initially thought that Ereshkigal was the same evil god described by the world, but after the last contact, Wu Ming went through a very short-lived contact, as well as attention to detail, finding that Ereshkigal was actually very kind to humans, she only prepared to use a method that was unacceptable to the world to save humans, such as Quetzalcoatl.

And the panicked voice that Ereshkigal made at Wu Ming just now exposed some of Ereshkigal's reports, like his assertiveness was fake.

Ereshkigal may not be the same as what she appears and the myth circulating in the world.

Wu Ming felt that Ereshkigal might be a goddess who was well-spoken.

Ereshkigal and Ishtar are different aspects of the same god. Ishtar was the goddess in charge of "harvest" and represented life, while Ereshkigal was the goddess of the underworld, the goddess in charge of powers such as "death" that no doubt frightened people.

The strengths of the two sides are to some extent opposite. Since this was the case, the two goddesses might as well be opposites.

For example the opposite of "no kind words at all, very arrogant" in Ishtar, in Ereshkigal it becomes "kind and kind to talk to people".

Wu Ming guessed that the world's fear of Ereshkigal might just be because she was responsible for death, and she didn't defend herself, so humans were afraid of Ereshkigal.

But because of this, in order to maintain the appearance described by the world, Ereshkigal who pretended to be cold and behaved like a child, was unable to make Wu Ming feel relieved and amused, and thus laughed.
