Spreading Public Opinion and Exaggerating Terror

"Although it's wild dog's nonsense, I'll still reluctantly give your idea a positive evaluation!"

After Luo Wei expressed his thoughts, Gilgamesh pondered for a moment and then made an evaluation.

The words seemed hard to hear, but looking at his expression, it was full of happiness, a look of eagerness to try.

Well...it had to be said that the plan proposed by Luo Wei was more in line with the thinking of the King of Heroes.

Simply overcoming difficulties has never been what he likes.

If it weren't for the fact that it was impossible, who would want to be spied on by those guys who think they are superior all day long?

"I am looking forward to the reaction of those stupid guys, hahahaha!"

The devilish laughter sounded again.

"I will support whatever Luo Wei wants to do," Little En looked meek.

Enkidu said in a gentle tone.When it came to the actions of her "friend," she wouldn't oppose but would do everything in her power to fulfill his wishes.

"Assistant Luo Wei's proposal... is indeed worth a try,"

Siduri over there also responded after thinking for a moment.

Compared to Gilgamesh, who only wanted to make himself happy, this young woman who coordinated all the affairs in Uruk, obviously had more considerations.

But in the end, there was no room for refutation.

Of course, this did not mean that Luo Wei's idea was really without problems.

The theory is just a theory after all, and putting it into practice would require much preparation.For example...

For example,

"How... to make other countries feel the crisis?"

The young assistant raised the most critical question.

The appearance of the Bull of Heaven and Humbaba was estimated at the border of Uruk, and their likely actions would involve attacking the royal city from both the east and west.

Although both have great powers and would be greater threats, but their only target would be the country of Uruk.

It certainly would not have much impact on other countries on the Mesopotamian plain.

But then again.

"The gods may have sent down these mighty divine beasts and monstrous creatures, claiming it's a punishment only for us, but... who would believe that?"

When Luo Wei said this, he couldn't help laughing.

The relationship between the gods and humans could very well be implemented as the one between humans and other living beings on the Earth..

Gods never cared about humans.

Just as humans didn't care about the thoughts of livestock.

Some so-called kind Gods and humans might think they do..hahaha.

Well.. let's not go there.

The so-called verbal promises have always been false.

As early as the heyday of the Age of Gods a long time ago, the gods had done many treacherous things.

Gods had faith, but it was because of their power, not their trustworthiness.

The trust in the divine had long been exhausted.

So, if the things were to come to the words of these gods, it would be difficult for any country to trust them fully.

Even if the kings and priests were willing to believe out of sheer hope, what about the common people?

If it was possible, no one would want to pin their life on the illusory moods of the gods, right?

"I understand what Luo Wei means!"

Siduri was stunned and did not react.

Instead, Enkidu over there spoke first.

Her long, smooth emerald hair moved beside her ears as she spoke with moist red lips, clear syllables:

"No matter what the gods say, as long as we let other countries know about the coming crisis of Bull of the Sky and Humbaba - or let them think so, it will be enough."

In other words, public opinion.

Public sentiment was like water, but if it boiled, it could turn falsehoods into truths.

Enkidu, crafted by the gods themselves, truly had exceptional wisdom, at least in innate intelligence.

And she understood it, just as Gilgamesh quickly grasped the idea.

So, there was no need for Luo Wei to lead the next development.

"As expected of this king's friend!"

He started by boasting, well as expected of the narcissistic king.

Then the blond King of Heroes glanced at Siduri:

"If I recall correctly, there are merchants from various countries in Uruk city at all times, right?"

"Yes, my king."

Uruk was the largest city/ kingdom in Mesopotamia and also the most developed area.

Free people from various nations exchanged goods here to transport back to their own countries, thereby promoting developed commerce.

And merchants were driven by profit.

So as long as they were given enough incentive, they would willing to do anything.

"Give those merchants a sum of money and ask them to do something for my king!"

Gilgamesh waved his hand:

"Let them spread the news during their trade routes –"

"Tell them that the gods have grown tired of the existence of humans, and they will send down a trial of heaven and earth, a punishment capable of destroying humanity."

"And if us, humankind want to survive this test, we need everyone to unite together with the most powerful country as the core!"

Or in the name of God.

Although he was very disdainful of those guys, Gilgamesh never minded borrowing the power of those guys when he was serious.

He also had to admit that at the end of the Age of Gods, humans still generally believed in gods.

So this was the most appropriate and most likely to be effective way.

"Yes, my king." Siduri hesitated for a moment, then bowed: "I will go and take care of it!"

The young assistant understood the significance of this task.

First, apply pressure through public opinion.

Then, build momentum –

"In the name of the gods... shall we drag the gods down into the dust?

Hm-hahaha, I really look forward to the expressions of those fools when the time comes!"

For some reason, Gilgamesh suddenly felt extremely happy.

Luo Wei was also secretly calculating.

To unite countries, we need to show sincerity, right?

At that time, he might be able to lead an envoy to a hostile country... and deliberately lead the enemy country to assassinate him.

In doing so, if he died, Gilgamesh would also have a better chance to declare war on that nation, demonstrating his power and deterring neighboring nations that refused to submit.

Devote oneself completely, even unto death.

If he could successfully remove the protection of the Goddess of the Underworld later, Luo Wei might have a chance.

Even if this "death" might be intercepted by Ereshkigal in the Underworld... no, it should be said that the probability of interception was close to one hundred percent.

But he still wanted to try..

Saying that he wanted to achieve great things and die a great death, but Luo Wei had no intention of giving up the potential opportunities in between.

'The king, the sage, and the clay figure created by the gods gathered in the room and devised a plan to punish the gods. '

'The king ordered merchants to come and go, bringing with them the words of sage. '

'The heavens and the earth were about to collapse, and just like the ancient deluge of Nippur, another disaster was about to strike the land.'

'The king urged everyone to unite in the name of the gods.'

'The sage called upon everyone to take up weapons.'

'The clay figures made by the Gods also stand with them. '

Rustling.

On the sand in the wilderness, someone was staggering.

His skinny body was covered under a black and broken robe, but it did not look weak but instead, it gave him a sense of strength.

He raised his head, revealing a face covered with a black beard and hair.



Behind him lay a dark, abyss-like rift, a gateway to the netherworld.

The man, who identified himself as Ziusudra, listened to the distant tidings carried by the wind.

"A calamity is on the horizon..."

"The one of the original three without a destiny; perhaps he is the key."

"This old man should go meet him."

He exhaled deeply, then lowered his head once more, moving forward slowly.

His footsteps left dark footprints on the yellow sand and dust, as if Death itself had passed through, causing life around to wither instantly.
