25 The wind of underworld roared past

The deep, dark bottom of the underworld was covered only by cold rocks.

Little blue ghost fires complemented each other.

It was the last bit of warmth that a person's soul retained after death, and it was also the only light in the underworld.

And the deserted temple constructed from piles of rocks and surrounded by clusters, the goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal, looked up between the thrones, her delicate face framed by blonde hair, full of surprise and disbelief.

She couldn't believe it.

Although she heard the voice clearly, both its source and its content.

But it's just she couldn't believe it.

Did she hear someone in the world saying...he admired hers?

Moreover, that voice and that breath were extremely familiar to the goddess who wandered in the silent underworld.

"Are you the one who allowed me to see the light of day again?"

The goddess thought about it and closed her eyes slightly.

Do you really admire me?

The word "Admiration" was both familiar and yet strange to Ereshkigal.

It is normal for gods to be admired because admiration is also a type of belief.

Gods are admired because of their brilliance, and they also become beliefs in people's hearts because of their admiration.

It's just that she was just an ordinary god.

As the goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal is not popular among the gods, and in the human world, she is regarded as the incarnation of death and feared.

"I have never had any faith, let alone being admired."

But now, someone said that he admires her..

And he was the one who allowed her to see the light of the world after a long time.

Who is he?

He tore the gap between the underworld and the world?

Was he doing it for her?

Wonder who that is.

'I really want to see what he looks like.'

Want to go to the human world.

The cold wind instantly echoed in the icy world.

The shadow of the goddess on the throne was still there, but the soul seemed to have gone far away.

To the human world...

"You guy..." After a long silence, Ishtar's voice sounded again in the deep alleys of Uruk City: "Are you serious?"

As time went by, the last sunset had already disappeared below the horizon, and the vast night covered the sky, shining like thousands of bright fireflies.

A wisp of moonlight slipped silently through the cracks in the house and fell on Luo Wei.

He looked at Ishtar, who had a complicated expression in front of him, looking both shocked and angry; the corners of his mouth raised and he said with a smile,

"Do I need to deceive you?"

"Don't underestimate me, goddess— no matter what, I have also been a priest at the Uruk Temple!"

Yes, Ishtar at this moment did not yet know that Luo Wei had launched a challenge to the gods who were trying to interfere with his destiny and arrange his future.

In the eyes of the Venus Goddess, Luo Wei was not a challenger to all the gods.

This was an extremely disrespectful person, but he was a priest who had served as a priest in the temple at a young age, and he wouldn't lie about this kind of thing.

So--

'If you want to take action, do it quickly!'

For her, a mortal who doesn't care about her and even insults her, but still longs for her sister...

Luo Wei, who was at the information desk, spread out his hands and looked like he was obeying everyone.

However, what greeted him was just a faint sigh from Ishtar.

The previous shock and anger seemed to be all hallucinations, and he was startled.

Did it really fail?

He wasn't surprised.

Ishtar, who he had known before was now influenced by 'Tohsaka Rin', and she certainly would not want to kill him like this.

In his conjecture,

When he said this, the other party eas either angry or... just emotional.

"She has heard it,"

Ishtar said inexplicably.

The night was as cool as water and the moonlight was as frosty.

After the goddess's words fell, Luo Wei opened his eyes, but looked at the figure in his sight, and in an instant, there was a distortion.

It was like two shadows appeared in the same place, similar but different.

"She heard what you said, and she is longing in her heart to see you." Ishtar's voice floated in the wind: "However, she is very afraid."

The goddess's red eyes were full of complexity.

She had always sympathized with her sister, who stayed in the deepest part of underworld forever like a prisoner.

But as the daughter of the gods, the mistress of heaven, just as the goddess of the underworld cannot leave the underworld, she could not set foot in the underworld.

And in addition to sympathy, she was also a little afraid of Elli..the goddess of the underworld.

However, this was the first time someone told her that he longed for her sister, who symbolized death.

Something that even she had never done..

But he spoke out.

Made it known to the public firmly and without hesitation.

It was under this inexplicable emotion that she restored the original connection with Elli, which had been interrupted for many years due to various reasons.

She knew the Elli heard Luo Wei's words.

And she was also moved.

She wanted to come and see Luo Wei.

So Ishtar accepted part of her consciousness, just as she herself came to him.

It turned into an overlapping shadow on the body.

Now--

"She's here, but she doesn't dare to see you."

Ishtar whispered and repeated in a low voice.

"She just wants to see you."

"Look at you, the only person in the world who admires her."

"Then leave."

Repeating shadows gradually gathered on Ishtar's body, and Luo Wei saw a goddess that was very similar to her.

It was hazy and unreal, but he could still see the blond hair and the same red eyes as Ishtar.

Elli.

In other words, she should be called the goddess of the underworld

Ereshkigal..

Just like Ishtar, she also descended into this body.

But not fully revealed.

As Ishtar said, she just came to take a look and see the appearance of the only admirer she had never had before.

She was also afraid that if Luo Wei really touched her, he would show fear.

That will make that 'Admiration' disappear.

It really is...

He didn't know how to describe her character.

It can be said to be a completely different extreme from Ishtar.

But at the same time, the rippling wind in the air suddenly became very cold, and the darkness was like a curtain, covering the mistress of the underworld into a hazy shadow.

The goddess of the underworld descended and naturally brought the wind from the deep realm that symbolized death.

Blocking the road and blocking

Luo Wei's possible steps forward.

That was a wall that was difficult for the living to touch.

--but.

The goddess of the underworld would appear directly, which was not beyond Luo Wei's expectations.

For him, this was actually just right.

Even though death, which represents the end, is an extremely terrifying thing, whether it is for people, objects, or even gods.

But he is different.

He is very eager to die!

How could he miss this opportunity?

Come, come close.

Can I still let you run away?

Luo Wei moved forward and touched the wind from the underworld.

His heart was filled with excitement.

Today, this can be said to be the moment he has been closest to death since his transmigration..
