Chapter 223
"Answer - answer!
Faith is something that is not rewarded, and prayer is something that is given.
People do not seek favors from God, but only offer favors, and are lifelong slaves!
In this case, answer, who is the cleanliness goddess who is qualified to accept such noble labor - Ishtar, who is dirty and runs around barefoot all day, or Ereshkigal, who is great and loves cleanliness!"
Gilgamesh:"……"
Ye You:"……"
Ishtar:"That's too much! Who walks around barefoot all day?"
"Are you wearing shoes now?"
Hearing Gilgamesh's words, Ishtar choked up and didn't know how to refute Gilgamesh's words.
But in the end, she still held her head high and said disdainfully:"I am a goddess, my whole body is automatically clean, and the magic power covers my body, how can I get dirty!"
"I choose Ereshkigal"
"Ah——! Ye You, why did you betray me again!"
"
Okay , stop pulling my hair, this is just a matter of urgency!���Ishtar on You's neck couldn't see that Ye You was talking with his eyes closed, but Gilgamesh beside him saw it clearly.
"Hahahahahaha, Ye You, you made the right choice!"
Gilgamesh said with a happy face and stepped through the gate one step ahead, and Ye You followed closely behind. As expected, at the moment of passing through, Ishtar became a little smaller.
"Oooooo I got shocked again, but I've gotten used to it, it's so abominable!"
Seeing herself shrink again, Ishtar was angry, but she could do nothing about it, and now her two feet couldn't sit on Ye You's neck, so she could only stand on his shoulders.
"Hahahaha, this is really funny. But in this state, I guess you’re not even cannon fodder. Never mind, I’m not going to rely on a stupid goddess like you anyway!"
""Ah! You damned stinky cow, Sine!"
Ishtar punched Gilgamesh with a flying fist, but it didn't hurt him at all. As for
Ye You, he remained silent, watching the two of them fighting and arguing with each other.
Not long after, the three of them arrived in front of the fifth gate.
"Answer, answer.
To survive is to eliminate useless habits, and to live is to cultivate useless habits. To be extravagant in food and to waste energy in the pursuit of pleasure is a duty that a person of intelligence must bear, but one must be careful.
Because unlimited nutrition will only gain fat, if you have to entrust your life to one person, who would you entrust it to?
Fat and meat and Ishtar, or Ereshkigal, which is good for the liver"
"
Ailei , do you think I will get fat because of eating too much delicious food?"……"
"Hahahaha, what a stupid question!"
"I am a person who follows my heart. I prefer to eat delicious food rather than nourish my liver, so I choose Ishtar!"
"Yes! Ye You, I knew you were the best to me!"
Ishtar saw that Ye You finally chose her, and she jumped excitedly on Ye You's head.
She didn't notice the pitying look on Gilgamesh's face at all.
Since Ye You said that he followed his heart, it means that he chose Elle because he wanted to!
As for Elle in the palace of the underworld, she naturally noticed what Ye You said, and she was very happy in her heart. Ye You had always chosen her sincerely before!
She was not angry that Ye You chose Ishtar for this problem. If she thought about it carefully, it was true. Everyone is at the god level. Are they afraid of eating too much meat?
As for Ye You's thoughts, they were very simple. Anyway, seeing that Elle looked like she was being conquered, there was no need to please her on this matter. It just so happened that he wanted to see who he favored in these issues.
"Ye You——Go! Let’s go to the next door!"
"If you act outrageously again, I'll throw you down!"
"Ahahaha, I don't dare, I'm so sorry!"
Looking at Ye You's dark face, Ishtar hurriedly apologized, combed Ye You's hair, and sat on it steadily.
"Hahahaha, you silly goddess, it seems you have been tamed and are very well behaved!"
"Wulusai, Wulusai!"
Then the three of them crossed the fifth gate, and at the moment they crossed, Ishtar shrank again.
"Ah! Woohoo! It finally became the size of a palm. I am so embarrassed that I can't even cry!"
Ishtar on Ye You's head lay in Ye You's hair with despair.
"Ye You, your hair is quite soft."
"……Don’t use my hair as a blanket!"
"Hahahaha, look at you like this, you're so cute!"
"No road race!"
……
The three of them quickly passed through the next six or seven gates, which respectively asked Ye You who was wiser between Ishtar and Ereshkigal, and who would rule mankind better between Ishtar and Ereshkigal.
(The anime and the game didn't say anything, and I don't know how to say those mysterious things, so I just made up two of them!)
Ye You chose Elei without exception. The little girl was so excited that she almost danced in the palace, and Ishtar pulled out a few strands of Ye You's hair as punishment.
After passing through all seven gates, Gilgamesh grabbed Ishtar's headdress with his ruthless iron hands and began to shake it. He was so happy!
However, following the road under their feet, the three of them finally came to a wide and dark plain, but there were countless gun cages and soul candles dotted on the side.
"This is basically a wilderness!"
Ye You exhaled a breath of hot air and looked at the plains around him without even a blade of grass, and complained speechlessly.
In Ye You's eyes, he was a god after all, and the underworld had palaces and even cities!
Gilgamesh, who was standing aside, heard Ye You's complaints and immediately explained:"This is the so-called underworld. There is nothing gorgeous here. Don't you think so, Ereshkigal, the queen of the galula spirits looking at the dark sky!"
"That Ai Lei is really pitiful!"
Ye You felt distressed for Ai Lei who had endured this environment for tens of thousands of years without complaint!
As Gilgamesh finished speaking, the two stone pillars in front of Ye You flashed with lightning, gradually forming an ugly and huge Garula spirit, and the air became increasingly cold.
Finally, the huge Garula spirit like a mountain appeared in front of the three people, and a majestic voice came out from it.
"Fear, pray, and fall into despair, human!
I am the ruler of death, the mistress of the underworld, the one who tramples the sacred peaks - Ereshkigal!!!"
"……"
Looking at the huge Ereshkigal that appeared in front of him, which was made up entirely of his own bones, Ye You fell into silence. Why did he have an inexplicable feeling of being shocked?
