I don’t know how much time passed, but the necromantic monsters that invaded Uruk were finally annihilated and expelled, allowing Uruk to regain peace.
Because the two rituals have retreated, Luo Zhen and his party can join the battle. In addition, Gilgamesh has been prepared for this before, providing a good means to deal with the necromancy monsters. Uruk can successfully solve this problem. invasion.
Fortunately, the necromancy monsters that invaded Uruk are the type that win with numbers. If there are existences of the same level as Ugar and Bashumu in the northern monsters or the pterosaurs in the southern army in the opponent's camp, , this time the crisis will not be easy to solve.
Therefore, this crisis can be regarded as a near miss and passed safely.
However, it's not completely cost-effective.
Even if Gilgamesh has already ordered the citizens not to go out and try not to reveal their aura as living beings in order to avoid attracting the attention of undead monsters, what if people do not reveal their aura as living beings? Can it be done
The citizens of Uruk are just ordinary humans, not magicians or even warriors. Even if they want to control their aura, it is not something that can be done, right
Therefore, sacrifice ultimately occurs in Uruk.
This time, a total of 824 people were attacked by necromantic monsters. After being injured and falling into a weak state, their souls were directly taken away by the Galula spirit.
Including the 113 people who appeared before, nearly a thousand victims appeared in Uruk in the past two days, and their souls were taken into the underworld and fell into eternal sleep.
This is not something to joke about.
How many people are there in Uruk
Such a sacrifice rate has occurred in just two days, and the matter has not yet been resolved. This is definitely a major issue that cannot be ignored.
After this invasion of necromantic monsters, the aroma of death that enveloped Uruk became even stronger, causing many physical weaknesses to appear in Uruk.
If this continues, I'm afraid more and more people's souls will be arbitrarily taken to the underworld.
"It seems that we have to find a way to solve the problem of the goddess of the underworld first."
On this day, Luo Zhen and others were called to the royal hall of the pagoda by Siduli, and Gilgamesh, who was sitting on the throne, brought up such a topic without saying a word.
Matthew and Anna were stunned.
Merlin was dozing off because he had to work all night again yesterday to set up a new barrier, and was being slapped in the face by Fufu who was standing on his shoulder.
Only Luo Zhen, as if he had expected this to happen, sighed.
Because it means one thing.
"You want us to go down to the underworld to find Ereshkigal, right? King Gilgamesh?"
Luo Zhen revealed what Gilgamesh was thinking.
"That's right." Gilgamesh didn't mean to hide it at all, and said very directly: "Ereshkigal will not leave the underworld. If you want to solve her problem, you must go down to the underworld. , plus currently you are the only ones who have enough ability to deal with the goddess, so there is no other way."
Gilgamesh had reached this point, and it was obvious that there was really no other way.
Luo Zhen had no objection.
After all, Chaldea and Uruk are originally on the same side. If Uruk is destroyed, human history will be over. The purpose of both parties is to preserve mankind and Uruk, and it is inevitable to avoid the conflict with the "Three Goddesses" Alliance>Fight directly.
In this case, due to emotions and reasons, Luo Zhen had to run this time.
only...
"Really... do you really want to go to the underworld?"
"Is that the underworld?"
"You are obviously a living person, but you want to go to the underworld. Is this really okay?"
From the communicator on Luo Zhen's wrist, the extremely worried voices of the Chaldean people came out one after another.
There is no way, because of this matter, even Chaldea, who claims to be able to transfer souls to any era, feels a little uneasy.
You must know that the so-called underworld is a place that only the dead can enter, which is equivalent to the hell or underworld in Sumer. Even in the Age of Gods, the underworld is just a world underground, but that cannot change its status as the world of the dead. fact.
If you go to that kind of place, it is very likely that you will never return, never return to the earth, or even lose your life altogether, turning from the living to the dead.
The former Ishtar is a living example. This great goddess with high self-esteem entered the underworld with many powers, but in the end, didn't she end up being torn into pieces
Therefore, in this era, even though the underworld belongs to the category of the underworld, it is almost impossible for people who enter the underworld to come back.
And those who can come back will eventually become heroes who are talked about by people.
For example, the King of Uruk sitting on the throne is a living example.
Only this king dared to say this.
"It's just the underworld. With your abilities, you shouldn't be able to go there and never come back, right?"
That's what Gilgamesh said.
"I don't expect you to bring back the souls of the victims and resurrect them, but at least let Ereshkigal take back the aroma of death and the Galula spirit."
This is already difficult to do, right
The other party originally came here for the purpose of killing and seducing people. How easy is it to get the other party to take back the scent of death and the Galura spirit
Rather than doing this, it would be easier to just knock the opponent down.
Although Ereshkigal is an invincible existence in the underworld, and no gods or heroic spirits can disobey her, there is only one existence that is an exception.
That is the living.
Only those who possess life can resist the laws of the realm of the dead.
Therefore, if Luo Zhen goes to the underworld as a living person, Ereshkigal's invincibility will not be able to be used. This is also the reason why living people who enter the underworld will basically lose their lives, except that it is not a place that living people should enter. Outside of the forbidden area, there is another reason, that is, they cannot be allowed to threaten the God of the Underworld.
Of course, even if she is not invincible, Ereshkigal is still a goddess. Even if her divinity and power are only at a medium level, it is not something that ordinary humans can deal with.
In view of this, Gilgamesh said that the abilities of Luo Zhen and others should be enough to deal with the goddess.
"How about it? Do you accept this commission?"
Gilgamesh still asked this question.
At this time, the words of the two rituals flashed through Luo Zhen's mind.
"If you really want to solve the problem of the Three Goddess Alliance, then come to the underworld."
"The goddess who has been forcing herself will probably need you."
Thinking of these words, Luo Zhen pondered for a while and then made a decision.
