At this moment, the entire underworld seemed to tremble, causing the earth and rocks to start rolling.
In Chaldea, the sirens kept sounding, and the voices of Olga Marie, Leonardo da Vinci, and Roman kept coming from the communicator.
"be careful!"
"The magic reaction continues to increase!"
"The power of the goddess is coming!"
The people in Chaldea shouted, causing Luo Zhen and his party to jump up without hesitation and move away from the ground where they were originally standing.
"Bang!"
Under such circumstances, the ground where Luo Zhen and his party were originally standing exploded.
Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, is an entity in charge of "earth" and "death", and her power can also control the earth and death.
Therefore, when the ground exploded, countless gravel and rubble directly turned into endless cannonballs, blasting in all directions.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...
In an instant, the entire wilderness seemed to have been attacked by artillery fire. Every piece of gravel and rubble seemed to have turned into a bomb with astonishing power, sweeping across the entire place, causing explosions to continue to sound.
Luo Zhen hugged Mashu, took Ishtar and Fu Fu, and flew directly into the air during Yu Zhi's instigation, avoiding the bombardment.
If they had not escaped in time, they might have been blown to pieces just now.
"He actually did it! That guy!"
Ishtar gripped Luo Zhen's shoulders tightly and complained through gritted teeth.
"Foo! Fuwu!"
Fufu still got into Luo Zhen's robe, not daring to come out.
"senior!"
As for Ma Xiu, he cast a questioning look at Luo Zhen.
The meaning of that look was obvious, it was asking Luo Zhen a question.
"Do you want a war?"
That's all.
However, Luo Zhen just shook his head gently and signaled Ma Xiu not to act rashly.
Because he still had questions to ask Ereshkigal.
Obviously, Ereshkigal also cares about Luo Zhen's existence.
While venting his anger, Ereshkigal raised his head and looked at Luo Zhen, who was flying into the air.
"Are you here to be my enemy? The last Master of mankind!"
Ereshkigal made this confirmation in a deep voice.
But Luo Zhen did not answer this question directly.
"That depends on what you think."
Luo Zhen's answer was a bit vague.
no way.
"To be honest, I feel very conflicted about your attitude." Luo Zhen looked directly at Ereshkigal and said: "From the two limited contacts before, you gave me the feeling that you are not like me at all. Human beings have a grudge, and it can even be said that their attitude towards me is very kind.”
During the first conversation in the embassy, Ereshkigal showed only curiosity and closeness to Luo Zhen's journey. Although he was one of the "Three Goddess Alliance", he had no interest in the people from the embassy. Luo Zhen of Chaldea had any hostility and murderous intention, and even risked violating the covenant by revealing some information about the "Three Goddess Alliance" to Luo Zhen, which is enough to explain the problem.
The second time in the cedar forest, Ereshkigal, who came in the body of Ishtar, seemed to be on the same side as Gorgon and Quetzal, but he also wanted to escape from the hands of Gorgon and Quetzal. To protect Luo Zhen, he did not hesitate to take action and did some things to protect Luo Zhen.
From these two contacts, Luo Zhen felt no hostility from Ereshkigal at all.
Therefore, Luo Zhen didn't quite understand.
"What exactly is your position? What is your reason for joining the Three Goddesses Alliance?"
Luo Zhen raised such a question.
"The Gorgons want to destroy mankind because of their endless hatred for the human race and their burning desire for revenge."
"Quezal's motives have not been revealed yet, but from her attitude and priesthood, I can somewhat tell some of her thoughts."
"But as you said, I really don't know the reason why you joined the "Three Goddess Alliance" and planned to wipe out all humans."
This is what Luo Zhen is saying.
In view of this...
"Whether I want to be your enemy or not depends not on me, but on you." Luo Zhen said bluntly: "Based on your answer, I will also choose the appropriate course of action."
It's that simple.
So Ereshkigal fell silent.
As if feeling bitter or sighing, he fell silent.
Soon...
"I thought you wanted to say something, but is this what it is?"
After Ereshkigal broke his silence, what came out of his mouth was sarcasm.
A mockery of everything.
"If you really want to know, there's no harm in telling you."
Ereshkigal said so.
"The reason why I joined the Three Goddesses Alliance is very simple, which is to turn all human beings into my private property."
As soon as these words came out, the temperature of the air suddenly dropped again.
"Take humans...?"
"Become private property...?"
Matthew and Ishtar were stunned.
"What?"
Everyone in Chaldea also stood up in shock.
"..."
Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes and looked at the terrifying goddess of death quietly.
In spite of everyone's gaze and astonishment, Ereshkigal opened his hands.
"As you can see, there is nothing in this underworld, no sunlight, no life. Flowers cannot grow here, grass cannot grow here. As long as there are things on the ground, there is almost nothing here."
“There’s not even anything flashy here.”
“There’s not even any luxury here.”
"What's here is nothing but cold, loneliness, wilderness, rocks, and the dead."
As he spoke, Ereshkigal slammed down the light gun in his hand, causing the ground to tremble.
During the tremor, prison-like gun sills emerged from the ground one after another, covering the entire wilderness.
The will-o'-the-wisp that symbolizes the human soul is burning in it, and it has an unusual sense of beauty.
That's right.
"The only beautiful thing here is the fire of the dead that seems to illuminate the entire underworld. Don't you think so?"
Ereshkigal just smiled, laughing extremely wildly, but with an unspeakable sadness.
"Anyway, human history has disappeared, and human principles have been burned away. Sooner or later, the Magic King's great work will reset this planet, and humans will disappear on the ground, not even a single one will be left."
"In this case, instead of letting them suffer an extremely painful death, wouldn't it be better to sleep quietly under the fragrance of my death like now, and finally gather them all here and become my ornaments that decorate the underworld? Isn't this good? ?”
"My purpose in joining the Three Goddesses Alliance is to gather all human souls in this underworld and create a kingdom of death."
"How? Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Ereshkigal's words make people shudder.
"They actually treat human beings as private property..."
Matthew bit his lip.
"Hey..."
Ishtar also screamed.
Only Luo Zhen still stared at Ereshkigal, as if he wanted to see into her heart.
