The Path to the Underworld

This place was undoubtedly very strange. Gilgamesh, before destroying it, wanted to investigate it thoroughly and, if somehow it is of importance, seal it. However, if it turns out to be a problem, he would wipe it off the map along with all the troubles surrounding it.

Riding the Vimana, they quickly passed over dark mountains and lakes. The Vimana's speed depended on what Gilgamesh, as the pilot, wanted, so he immediately took them to a flatter area deeper within the cemetery.

This desert was completely desolate. There were no tall mountains, only short hills, and it seemed like a silent place.

Regardless, Gilgamesh looked at this place with a hidden caution in his face. He could see what used to be the ruins of a palace, the fall of a civilization caused by war.

Just as Gilgamesh was surveying the surroundings, he felt something in the distance and said, "Roxy, take control of the Vimana and deactivate the shield."

Holding a crimson spear in his right hand, Gilgamesh muttered, "The dead die, and the living weep..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the earth shook, and the sky darkened. Stairs emerged from under the ground, and several majestic peaks trod the skies.

Gilgamesh glanced at Roxy once, then brought everyone inside this palace. It was very large, but there was no one inside.

In the center of the palace was an ancient dark coffin, it had a rotten appearance as if anything related to it was dead.

"Why are you here?" Finally, a decrepit voice came from the ancient black coffin. The voice was heroically magnificent, like a true monarch.

Gilgamesh unleashed his aura and said, "I can walk any path I desire; a dead man like you has no authority to question my decisions. I have a question for you: do you know the whereabouts of the temples that praised the ancient Human God?"

"What kind of foolish question is that? I wouldn't mess with the gods if I were you. I already have enough with my curse waiting for my moment to reincarnate," said the voice again.

"Can't you answer?" Gilgamesh asked with an even colder voice.

"If you didn't have an Emperor's aura in your body, I would have killed you already." A dominant voice came from inside the ancient coffin.

At this point, Gilgamesh's group's hearts were full of anger.

Gilgamesh just smiled and said, "A ship has appeared in the sky, and it is said that the underworld is emerging again in this cursed place." Gilgamesh said solemnly, "Being buried inside the cave for thousands of years just for a measly chance is lamentable. Answer my question, and maybe I will consider destroying or not destroying this place."

At this point, Gilgamesh paused for a moment, then continued, "This place should not exist, and I suppose it is an error due to my forceful immersion into this world. So, correcting my mistake is only a necessary good for this world."

"Hehehehe... The tone of your words is grander than anything I have witnessed. I could feel that you were a king in your past life and an unparalleled one at that..." At this moment, the hearty laughter of the man inside the coffin resonated, and he said, "I never thought someone could destroy this dimensional rift."

The explosion of laughter echoed, sending chills among Roxy's group. The laughter eventually subsided, bringing back silence inside the ancient coffin.

"I only seek information about the Human God I am going to kill. It would serve me greatly if you tell me what you know. If you have nothing to say, I will leave this place since my time is more valuable than gold." Gilgamesh had no time to waste in this place.

"Well, what you should know is that this place is only caused by the struggle of various powerful beings in different dimensions. This is the result of various timelines and their involvement in something unknown, but it finally caused this place of death, which many call an opportunity."

"The reason why many say they live and find rebirth is that there is a possibility of entering again into a new body within some of the existing timelines. If you seek a temple, you might find answers if you participate in entering the so-called underworld."

At this point, Gilgamesh's group did not dare to breathe heavily. This was a very dangerous maneuver.

Gilgamesh looked deep into the bottom of the palace and said, "This place will be destroyed or not by me. Are you okay with that?"

"I'll leave that to fate. I hope your amusing struggle comes sooner rather than later and that you don't end up only with the destruction of that God but with the entire existence of the six worlds. At the end of the day, that's what we deserve for having despicable and foolish gods."

Gilgamesh pointed his spear towards the ground and murmured, "I guess then I will decide whether to kill you sooner or later, a grotesque waste of time..."

Eris looked deeply at that place and said, "For God's sake, how can mummies exist in this world?"

Cusnfiel, who had just woken up afew moments ago, said, "That piece of ancestral relic doesn't even reach the level of a mummy; there is nothing but dust in that place... The bones, my beloved bones, do not exist."

Roxy frowned and muttered, "You are truly a wholehearted dog now..."

"A hunting dog..." murmured the twins, feeding him the bones they had kept for Cunsfiel.

"I'm not a bone-eating dog, girls!"
