21 The Goddess of the Underworld and the People of the Earth
In the final analysis, although Luo Wei was not hostile to the gods in the sky as Gilgamesh was, but it was indeed true that he disrespected the gods.
After all as a person who transmigrated from another modern world, it was difficult for Luo Wei to believe in these so-called gods.
And even if he did, he certainly wouldn't believe in these selfish Sumerian Gods.
The reason why he became a sacrifice to the gods was just to be close to Gilgamesh.
The reason why he accepted the Key to Heaven was so that he could not be suppressed by the environment and seize every opportunity to seek death.
To a certain extent, it was because he did not trust the gods that he accepted the Key to Heaven.
And even though he very much wished they had some conspiracy to frame him, but this did not mean that Luo Wei could accept their arrogant desire to play with their own future.
As a mortal, the most important thing is yourself.
And the most valuable thing about self is freedom.
It's more precious than anything.

In the Warcraft Forest to the west of Uruk, this lush land that was already in great turmoil due to the previous battle between Gilgamesh and Enkidu was filled with a picture of shock and fear at this moment.
Enkidu, who had fully manifested his power, was no longer in the form of a magical weapon made from infinite soil.
His whole body disappeared directly on the spot.
Instead, there was a silver chain, which was dug up from deep inside the ground and rushed into the sky...
The golden light, the treasury of Babylon, rippled around the chains.
The power of Gilgamesh, the Celestial Clock, formed a channel linking the upper and lower parts.
And Luo Wei——
He held both the wedge and the lock of heaven.
His body was suspended in the middle, looking up, looking at the eyes of the gods vaguely appearing high in the sky.
From a distance, it looked like a grand flower blooming at the bottom.
The vast chains were the bones of the flower.
The rippling door leaves were the leaves, and the dangling 'key' was the heart of the flower.
Beautiful yet magnificent.
'What is he doing? '
'What do they want to do? '
'Pave the road with Heaven's wedge, use Heaven's lock as guide, and use Heaven's key as door...'
'They want to shake the heavens! ? '
Presumptuous!
Boom——
The gods cursed, accompanied by the thunder that tore the heaven and earth apart, blooming in an instant.
They finally realized what Luo Wei and the others wanted to do, and what followed was obvious wrath.
The anger of being offended by mortals manifested itself.
The Gods originally appeared naturally, but in their anger, the heavens and earth changed dramatically.
It's just that these thunder, wind and rain could not stop Luo Wei's actions.
He extended the Heaven's Lock upwards.
"Hahahaha...a bunch of rotten fools!"
On one side, sitting on the throne, Gilgamesh smiled even more cheerfully:
"You are useless idiots who only hide behind layers of curtains and act like some mighty beings..
Ugly mongrels.. Hahaha
Are you angry?
Come on then, I am right here. —You guys, come down and have a showdown with me..cowards!"
Gods: "..."
'This guy really deserves a beating, I really want to hit him...but I can't get down, what should I do?'
Everyone god that was watching had the same thoughts at this moment..!
Luo Wei glanced at Gilgamesh, who was laughing wildly, and also couldn't help laughing.
Now he understood why this guy acted so recklessly.
Wanton and Fearless.
What he wanted was this feeling!
Boom, boom, boom...The thunder swept more rapidly, showing that the gods were becoming more and more angry.
It was at this moment that Luo Wei suddenly grasped the 'Lock of Heaven' transformed by Enkidu in his hand, and then...suddenly raised it upward!
Bang - the thunder was shattered like fireworks, and the wind and clouds were swept away like dust.
He held a spear and pierced the sky—stabbing into the 'eyes' of the gods!
'Damn, damn, damn -'
'How dare they, how dare this guy...'
'We, the last remaining eyes of the gods in the human world, must not be defeated! '
This moment.
Gods were truly afraid.
For those who could no longer come to the present world in their true form, if even their eyes got blinded, then they would not be able to even observe the present world, let alone interfere with it.
Not every god can come by virtue of it..in a state of dependency, after all, there were very few bodies suitable for gods to rely on.
So, it was impossible for them not to be afraid.
The sky shook violently under the shaking of the chains.
Not only the Warcraft Forest but also the ground under it's feet and the sky above them began to tremble!
The boundaries between the three realms of heaven, earth, and man were shaken by the combination of the Key of Heaven, the Clock of Heaven, and the Lock of Heaven!
'Leave first...'
'Anyway, they can't touch the heaven where we exist! '
'Leave, leave -'
The gods finally made up their minds, and Divine 'eyes' quickly disappeared and retreated.
Well..Luo Wei was not surprised.
He never intended to really pull down the heaven and let the gods fall into dust, nor could he do so
At most, he could make the heaven shake a few times.
The Heaven's Wedge, Heaven's Key, and Heaven's Lock indeed have potent powers, but the three of them have not yet been able to bring these things to their fullest potential, so even if he wanted to, he could do nothing more than that.
So, the reason why he did it was obvious.
After all, this was also an excellent opportunity to highlight Luo Wei's determination and to anger the gods and make them hate him!
From now on.
The gods will put the main contradiction on him.
Once served as a servant of God,
But at this moment, he defected.
The gods will definitely hate him to the core.
Naturally, he will become the person most targeted by the gods.
'In this way, we can probably change the endings of Enkidu and Gilgamesh, right? '
In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Enkidu's body declined and died due to the curse of the gods.
Luo Wei hopes that these people will do the same to him.
'I hope the gods can help me——'
But amidst all this, there was one thing he didn't notice, or in other words, he just didn't care.
In this violent shaking, it was not just the human world and the heavens that were affected.
There were also land boundaries.
Underworld——
"There's such a sound... on the ground? How long has it been..."
The dark and icy wilderness was filled with endless darkness; cold desolate, and without any life, except for a few clusters of blue will-o'-the-wisps floating and swaying in the air.
A shadow opened its ruby-like eyes, and it's loose blond hair swayed in all directions.
'How long has it been since I heard the sound?'
It's been a long, long time... since the soil belonging to the gods completely disappeared from the human world.
The goddess of the Underworld looked up.
Looking at the originally airtight dome of the underworld, she saw that, on the road leading to the human world, there was a little crack, giving way to a small ray of light.
'Isn't it... a dream? '
Whispering in a low voice, the goddess shed a sigh of relief..
Whatever it was, but after a long period of loneliness, she had seen the light of day again
This was the deepest part of Hades, and above it, there was a layer close to the human world. Figures stood tall, leaning on their swords.
"The vast heaven and earth trembled with this event, shaking a territory spanning thousands of miles. The gods seethed with anger at their disregard for divine authority and were unnerved by their reckless conduct, but they were powerless."
"Because this land no longer belonged to them."
"Because their time had long passed."
"The gods withdrew, and their divine power wavered."
"The original three—"
"The hero who challenged the gods."
"After all these years, I can still see you..."
"Old man Ziusudra, it's a great honor."
Ziusudra was an ancient Mesopotamian immortal residing in the underworld.
Since it was him—
There was a click.
'He' raised the heavy sword at his station, stepped into the blue firelight, the clinking of his heavy armor echoing, and strode towards the light and the world.
