Chapter 656: I want to mention my mother and go home (seeking votes)
"roar!"
A violent roar came from the sky, and the Storm Lion Rab flapped his wings. The power bestowed by Enlil, the god of air, suddenly surged.
——The Storm Pillar connecting heaven and earth!
Interlaced light green wind columns, carrying thousands of transparent sharp blades, cut through the divine barrier outside the city wall with a crackling sound.
In just a moment, this "shield" that had protected the city of Uruk for six days and nights was completely shattered.
Even the statue of the Triple Star God that served as the core of the barrier in the palace's divine tower collapsed.
The entire city of Uruk and tens of thousands of civilians in it were exposed to heavy rain and strong winds.
Seeing that the Storm Lion Rab had broken through Uruk's defenses, the rock giant Ulikume on the other side was not to be outdone. He waved the stone scepter in his hand and swept forward.
Lines of black mud flew out from under the water, splashing onto the walls of Uruk. When they landed, they turned into stone giants more than three meters tall, trying to destroy this sinful city that had angered the gods as quickly as possible.
Blood splattered and flesh and bones were shattered.
The screams of dying lives and the roars of dying resistance rose one after another, converging into a tragic song of doomsday in the sky above Uruk.
"Bastard!"
Gilgamesh's eyes were red with anger. He held his right hand back and pulled out a divine weapon of exaggerated shape and astonishing length from the opened Gate of Babylon. He shouted:
"Open up a thousand mountains, green horizon - Igalima!"
Igarima, in Sumerian mythology, is one of the seven divine weapons created by Zababa, the patron god and goddess of war of the city-state of Kish. It means "green blade" or "bison gate", and is also known as the "mountain-cutting sword".
This is a great, boneless sword that can cut through thousands of mountains. It does not just cut with its blade. It does not just open up with its mass. This divinely created sword contains the concept of "horizon". This is the result of the "principle of the absolute separation of heaven and earth" itself flowing out of the sword.
The boneless giant sword swung forward, tearing through the storm and huge waves, easily forming a space fault visible to the naked eye.
And the thousands of stone giants within the range were crushed into powder in an instant.
After dealing with the miscellaneous soldiers, Gilgamesh grabbed another divine weapon with his left hand and swung it forward while shouting:
"Burning the seas, dawning the horizon - Shulshagana!"
Shorshagana is one of the seven divine weapons of Zababa, the patron saint of the city-state of Kish and the goddess of war. It means "red blade" or "beloved young man" and is also known as the Broken Sea Sword.
The blade is made of lava-like peaks and pure fire, and it can burn away all the seas. Because this divinely created sword contains the concept of "horizontal line". This is the end of the sky and the sea, the extreme of "the realm of melting and mixing". If the direction of dawn is given here, it means a furnace that melts all things. Good and evil, good and evil, sky and sea, enemies, and hostile things all melt and disappear equally in the dawn.
As the blazing sword light fell, the third and fourth waves rolling in from outside the city of Uruk were torn apart, turning into raindrops splashing all over the sky and white mist rising up.
The people who survived the disaster in the city could not help but cast fanatical and respectful glances at the monarch in mid-air, and cheered deafeningly:
"Gilgamesh! Gilgamesh! Gilgamesh!"
However, before the celebration could last for a few seconds, the roar of the lion and the roar of the giant shattered the glimmer of faith that had just risen in the hearts of mortals.
A giant beast as tall as a mountain crossed the murky waters and descended upon the outskirts of Uruk like a nightmare.
Along with the surge of magic power, twelve light blue wind pillars and twelve purple-red lightning spears fell from the sky, conveying the gods' determination to the city of Uruk.
——This city must be destroyed!
"Don't even think about it!"
A green figure rose into the air from the city wall, and silver-white light vortices emerged one after another on the ground below him. Thousands of silver-white chains shot out from them, firmly binding the two evil gods who announced the coming of doomsday.
Even though the city of Uruk was right in front of them, they could only stop there and could not move forward.
“Roar! Roar!”
The giant and the lion roared angrily, and the surging divine power broke the chains wrapped around their bodies bit by bit.
Not enough! Not enough!
Enkidu gritted his teeth in mid-air, made up his mind, and broke his body apart, transforming into a huge silver chain that once again wrapped around the two evil gods, forcing them to stop attacking.
The Heavenly Chain is both her divine weapon and her essence.
In the name of heaven, we bind the gods to the world and eliminate disasters.
Therefore, this thing possesses the characteristics of the "God of Law". The higher the divinity of the object being captured, the more superior its performance will be.
While fighting alongside their good friend Gilgamesh, the cedar beast Humbaba and the bull of heaven Gugalana both fell victim to this thing.
And the same is true for the two evil gods today!
"Well done, my friend!"
Seeing that Enkidu had tried his best and successfully restrained the Storm Lion Lab and the Rock Giant Ulikume outside the city, Gilgamesh immediately seized the opportunity and launched his strongest attack.
He took off a gold ornament on his chest that looked like a key and held it up high.
Thousands of golden whirlpools appeared behind him, with red and black divine patterns as their veins, connected to each other, instantly covering the sky, water and earth.
Afterwards, the light-like doors that gathered the highest wealth and buried the strongest secrets of Babylonian civilization gathered together in Gilgamesh's hands and turned into a uniquely shaped divine weapon.
This object is composed of three cylindrical blades, each of which symbolizes the sky, the earth, and the underworld. They rotate in different directions, showing the form of the world. When they are combined, they can express the essence of "universe".
"Narrative origin..."
"When the world was created, nothingness also presented a gift to celebrate..."
"Tear the world apart with my sword of separation!"
Gilgamesh's lips moved, and he uttered a song-like chant.
The divine sword named "Divorce" was slowly raised, and the three red and black columns began to spin faster, sucking out all the magic factors around it. A strong sense of distortion spread rapidly with it as the core.
As if they had smelled the breath of death, the Storm Lion and the Rock Giant trapped by the [Chains of Heaven] struggled frantically, and the chains on their bodies broke one by one.
But new chains grew one by one from the water, from the air, and from the ground, stretching endlessly and being strong and indestructible.
Weren't you guys arrogant just now? Bastard!
Gilgamesh sneered, and poured all his divine power into the Sword of Separation, chanting his final powerful melody:
"Surrounding the mortar of stars, the hell in the sky is the end point on the eve of creation - the separation of heaven and earth, the star of creation!"
In an instant, the Sword of Separation fell forward, and a red and black ether storm formed a torrent that engulfed everything, venting madly towards the two evil gods in front.
The spreading halo made the dark night sky as bright as day, and the terrifying distortion swept around to form a space fault visible to the naked eye.
Bang bang bang bang!
The storm and thunder within a radius of a hundred miles were swept away, and the sound like glass breaking rang out successively from the Storm Lion and the Rock Giant.
Everyone looked intently and saw that the two huge monsters outside the city looked like they were stuffed into a terrible meat grinder.
Amidst their shrill screams, their bodies, divinities, and even souls shattered bit by bit and were decomposed into the most basic spirit particles, leaving no possibility of survival.
Success?
After a brief moment of daze, the people of Uruk burst into cheers like a landslide and tsunami, hugged each other, and cried for joy.
Yes, they survived!
“Crack~~!”
However, the sudden explosion was like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's heads.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that the sky was covered with spider-web-like cracks at some point, like a broken mirror.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, light cocoons like stars fell to the earth and turned into majestic figures.
Anu, the god of the sky, Enki, the god of the earth, Enlil, the lord of the air, Marduk, the king of kings... those faces are exactly the objects that humans once enshrined and worshipped in temples.
But at this moment, their faces no longer had the majesty and false kindness of the past, only suffocating gloom and anger.
"You are such a fool, you actually want me to take action myself!"
The hot-tempered Enlil snorted coldly and waved his hand to summon hundreds of violent winds, which swept towards the city of Uruk.
After a series of fierce battles, this human city has been left in ruins.
Gilgamesh and Enkidu had also exhausted their magic power and were at the end of their strength.
The two men's full-strength attack lasted only a few seconds before it was shattered by Enlil's storm, and their bodies smashed into the city of Uruk like meteors, unable to rise again.
When the survivors saw this, their hearts sank to the bottom.
It’s over…
Even the two strongest kings could not resist the determination of the gods. As weak mortals, they naturally could not stop the destined death.
But at this moment, they can at least choose how to die, gloriously or humiliatingly!
"Fuck you, bastard!"
I don't know who shouted the first cry, or threw the first spear, but one after another weak and tiny figures stood up on the dilapidated city wall, venting their anger and showing their pride to the gods in the sky.
Although the spear fell down due to exhaustion before it reached the front, this act of disobedience was like a loud slap in the face of the arrogant gods.
Burning, stinging, astonishment...all kinds of emotions churned in the hearts of the gods, eventually brewing into intense anger and humiliation.
These ants are so bold, we must not let them die quickly!
Enlil took the first step, and the divine power of creation was activated. The violent hurricane turned into storm lions, roaring and rushing towards the city of Uruk.
Anu and Enki were not to be outdone. The elves made of thunder and fire and the giants born of earth also joined the wave of destruction, ready to ravage this godless and sinful city.
Just as the overwhelming shadow was about to submerge the human city that had become an isolated island, dark blue lightning as thick as bowls struck down from the sky, tearing hundreds of storm lions into pieces.
Through the fierce lightning, a longicorn beetle, ten thousand meters tall and with a metallic luster all over its body, stood proudly in the rolling thundercloud.
——The Bull of Heaven, Gugalana? !
The Uruk people were slightly stunned when they recognized this mythical beast.
Before they could react, a white hand holding a large golden cup studded with gems emerged from the thundercloud and poured the golden divine liquid in the cup onto the earth.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Under the majestic and sacred vibration, the originally dead and gloomy world was given the rhythm of life.
The invisible air condensed into giant birds with a wingspan of hundreds of meters, the rippling water waves transformed into giant blue-black snakes, and the wriggling soil solidified into giant beasts as big as mountains with twisted muscles.
——The Doomsday Eagle Sheela;
——Leviathan, the serpent of the deep sea;
——The war monster Behemoth!
They are God's creations and the guardians of life.
In an instant, the rich aroma of wine filled the city, and a large amount of information flooded into everyone's mind.
And the monsters that had just joined the battlefield did exactly as the information said, they formed groups and pounced on the creations of the three pillars of Babylon, successfully defending the crumbling Uruk.
"court death!"
The series of incidents made the hot-tempered Enlil furious. He immediately mounted his chariot and led his subordinate gods and evil beasts to rush towards the small human city that had been unable to be conquered.
The sky god Anu and the earth god Enki also showed displeasure on their faces, and immediately joined the battlefield, ready to completely crush this resistance force that brought shame upon them.
But at the same time, the waters shook violently, and two dark waves rolled in from the Persian Gulf and Mount Abifu respectively.
No, not the wave!
But they are magical beasts of different species!
The winged two-legged snake "Bashumu", the three-cornered lion dragon "Ushumugalu", the seven-headed snake "Mushomafu", the angry snake "Mushusu", the river spirit "Rahmu", the lion-headed storm demon "Ugallu", the lion-headed man "Ulidim", the scorpion man "Kitablilu", the storm "Um Dabrutu", the mermaid "Kululu" and the bull-man "Kusaliku".
——Eleven monsters!
——The creation of the goddess Tiamat!
They are the ancestors of Babylonian monsters, the "great fathers" of gods and monsters, and possess the power and authority to compete with the Babylonian gods.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the black tide army composed of eleven magical beasts forcibly stopped the team of the gods and fought with them.
Damn it!
Seeing this, Marduk in the sky could no longer sit still. He raised the giant axe in his hand and launched a thundering attack towards the chaotic battlefield and the human city that had not yet fallen.
“Aaaa!”
At the same time, loud and solemn chanting came from behind the army of monsters, and two blue-red rays of light shot out from a pair of cross-shaped pupils that looked like stars.
One beam can curse tangible life, and the other can decompose intangible power.
These two gorgeous beams of light containing extreme colors cut through the endless darkness and chaos, bringing a moment of light.
Wherever it passed, the rainstorm clouds and thunder fields accumulated in the sky were torn apart.
"boom!"
Marduk was caught off guard and was hit by two beams of light. His body fell from the sky and into the rolling waves.
"Aaaaa!"
At this moment, the Mother Dragon of Creation, with the Touch of the Earth above her head, emerged from the black tide and spread her emerald wings.
A wave of magical power radiating holy light spread out, sweeping away the haze along the way and eliminating the fierce wind.
In the blink of an eye, the clouds disappeared, the rain stopped, the thunderstorm retreated, and the dull and gloomy air was filled with the fresh feeling of the beginning of creation, when all things were about to be born from the womb.
The Mother of Origin - Tiamat!
Everyone looked at the unexpected reinforcements, and their hearts could not calm down for a long time.
The god we once believed in abandoned his duty of protection and insisted on bringing down death.
The beast that was once a disaster forgot the shame of betrayal and chose to protect life.
How ironic, how absurd.
But, that's true.
Good and evil should not be judged by appearance or species.
A devil's body can also bear the wings of an angel!
The people who survived the disaster looked up at the army of monsters and the Goddess of Origin outside the city, lowered their heads, and silently said in their hearts:
——Welcome back, beasts that were once gods!
——Welcome home, mother!
