Northern Mesopotamia, cedar forest.
This is a forest that originally existed.
If the tropical jungles in southern Mesopotamia are the result of the manifestation of the goddess's power and are artificial forests, then this cedar forest in the north is different. It has existed in this forest from the beginning. earth.
For Mesopotamia, fir is a very precious and valuable resource. It is located in the Mesopotamia area, where wood is scarce, and the forests are generally inhabited by extremely powerful monsters. The Sumerians wanted to enjoy the wood. The blessing brought is a very difficult thing.
In the past, Gilgamesh and Enkidu had fought together to defeat the monster Humbaba that lived in the cedar forest. It was an extremely famous monster that even the gods did not want to provoke easily. Both Shi and Enki brought danger. One can imagine how difficult it would be for ordinary humans to set their sights on this fir forest.
In the depths of such a cedar forest, there is a temple.
It was a temple of blood, exuding the smell of blood and extremely ominous. Rather than saying that there were gods enshrined in it, it was more like a monster inhabiting it.
In fact, there are indeed monsters living in this temple, or in other words, gods who are no different from monsters.
And there was a man walking barefoot in this temple.
Astonishingly, it was Jin Gu.
Jin Gu was seen walking all the way in the dark and ominous corridor. There were cocoon-like things hanging on the surrounding walls. There seemed to be some shadows shaking inside, but he never caught a glimpse of them.
Jin Gu came to the depths of the temple and stopped in front of a place that looked like a pool of blood.
Looking at the blood pool in front of him, Jin Gu said this with a slightly respectful voice.
"Are you awake yet? Mother?"
The sound echoed clearly around and spread.
"Crash...!"
The blood pool suddenly moved.
If you look closely, you will see a huge figure in the blood pool.
The figure seemed to be bathed in blood. It made a sound of water and slowly emerged from it, as if it could reach the sky. It was as huge and terrifying as a mountain.
What's even more terrifying is that there are huge python-like black shadows surrounding his body, making his eyes light up like blood.
"Did you go out again? Jin Gu."
A low and terrifying voice resounded.
"Didn't I already tell you that you just need to stay here and leave human affairs to the monsters?"
The huge figure spoke like this.
"I'm sorry, mother." Jin Gu lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Because there are unpleasant things in this era, I just want to clean it up a little."
"An unpleasant existence?" Snake Shadow said without sadness or joy: "Is there any existence in this world that is more unpleasant than human beings?"
"Of course." Jin Gu said with a sneer: "That is because we are clearly on the verge of despair, and it is enough to just suffer death obediently, but in the end, we still want to linger, and are regarded as the so-called hopeless remnants of human history. "
"This is indeed very unpleasant." Snake Shadow suddenly said in annoyance: "Hope? That does not exist. Human beings only deserve to have despair. To become the feed of my children like this, to be drained of blood. That's their only use. They don't want to accept this ending. They give the dying struggle the name of "hope" and think they can be saved. It's ugly, it's really ugly."
"Yes." Jin Gu agreed while saying this: "However, there are indeed some troublesome people coming this time. Even if they are just the remnants of human history, they can go through six singular points and reach this era. If you push your dying struggle to its limit, no matter how ugly it is, it must be said that it still needs to be taken seriously."
"Huh?" Snake Shadow paused for a moment, then said clearly: "Is it the so-called Chaldea, the last master of mankind, who has arrived?"
"Exactly." Jin Gu said directly: "If there are no accidents, the other party should have met with the stupid King of Uruk."
"Really?" Snake Shadow's voice began to become unhappy, and while stirring up the blood pool, he said: "It's really irritating, it's so irritating, why can't you be killed obediently? They're just a bunch of people." A life without value.”
Saying this, the snake shadow seemed to be planning to come out of the blood pool, causing the surge of blood to become violent.
Seeing this, Jin Gu's complexion changed.
"No, mother." Jin Gu quickly stopped: "Now is not the time for you to take action personally, we still need time."
"But I don't want to wait any longer." Snake Shadow's voice turned from unhappy to violent, causing the air to vibrate, and said: "The king of Uruk and the last master of mankind, if they are the last support of mankind, , then let me kill it, so that humans can realize how stupid their resistance is, right?"
"Indeed, as long as these two people are lost, humanity will never be able to stand up again." Jin Gu nodded, but still admonished: "But, please wait patiently, mother. Don't forget, the reason why we do not destroy humanity is , not because humans can stop us.”
"What we are really wary of are the other two goddesses. They are our rivals for the dominance of this land. For this reason, my mother formed a so-called alliance with those two goddesses, agreeing not to invade each other. Who will win in the end?" If you can obtain the Holy Grail of Uruk, you can control the future of the earth and mankind."
"If mother takes action now, it's hard to guarantee that the two goddesses won't take action."
"After all, although those two goddesses are also cannibalizing human beings, they are different from us. They do not want to take away the future of human beings. If mother takes action casually, she will be in big trouble."
Hearing this, Snake Shadow stopped moving.
After a while, the other party made an extremely unpleasant noise.
"Do those two guys already know that the last Master of mankind has arrived in this era?"
Snake Shadow asked tentatively.
"That's right." Jin Gu said truthfully: "And with the personalities of those two people, they shouldn't be able to help but contact that Master, right?"
Who makes those two people different from their mother, not hating human beings, but loving them deeply
Knowing that the last Master of mankind conquered six entire eras and reached this age of gods, they would definitely not be able to help but come into contact with him, right
"During this period, we can take the opportunity to accomplish what we want to do." Jin Gu warned earnestly: "Please mother, please be patient and patient for a while."
After hearing Jin Gu's words, Snake Shadow didn't make any more noise.
This silence seemed to be expressing his own impatience, extremely depressing.
After a long time...
"That's all."
Snake Shadow spoke in a low voice.
"Just let those two goddesses have their fun for the time being."
"But my patience is limited."
"Human, please don't challenge my limits."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I really won't be able to bear it."
With these words behind him, the snake shadow stirred up the water and dipped into it again.
The water in the pool rippled until it returned to calm after a while.
Jin Gu looked at this scene, turned his head, and looked in the direction of Uruk.
"Actually, I'm also afraid that I won't be able to bear it."
Such sounds undulated slightly and were swallowed up by the darkness of this temple.
Mesopotamia is destined to become even more unstable in the future.
