Golden Flash, I'll Screw Your Immortal Ancestors
"Ah..." Although he had countless words and countless doubts in his heart, Rovi simply nodded.
Gilgamesh matured, yet he seems unchanged.
He simply wanted to reunite with his old friends by recognizing their faces.
For Rovi, successfully entering the Underworld was already the first step towards his goal, and reuniting with Gilgamesh, though unexpected, was also something to be happy about.
Gilgamesh is different from Ereshkigal after all. If Gilgamesh dared to give himself any kind of immortality protection or prevent himself from dying, Gilgamesh could easily give him a couple of good punches!
This is a good opportunity to vent my anger over the past mistakes I made.
And in front of that...
Visiting familiar places can be a worthwhile trip.
Uruk was his first stop in this world, and in a way, it could be considered his 'second home'.
However, Rovi's's response still contained a hint of doubt.
He knew that Gilgamesh ruled Uruk, and that at nightfall, as he had left behind his plan, the entire country would enter the underworld.
He knew that Gilgamesh eventually became the 'non-god King of the Underworld '.
But no one knows what he did after entering the underworld, or why he appeared in this underworld that is clearly not on the border of Mesopotamia, and it seems that he has also turned this area into his territory.
However, Rovi soon received an answer.
"After entering the Underworld, this territory you left behind, I did not stop that expansion trend on the ground."
As if sensing the deep doubt in Rovi's heart, Gilgamesh grinned smugly. "Even if we enter the Netherworld, my glory will shine like the sun over this dark land, and this place will belong entirely to me."
Just as he said.
It expands in the underworld.
These are the things Gilgamesh did during the time he entered the Underworld.
After a long period of time, traveling from east to west, he finally acquired ownership of a portion of the Greek region.
That's right.
It was obtained from Hades, the Greek King of the Underworld.
"Hmph, although that Greek King of the Underworld is quite powerful, with my wisdom, how could I possibly confront him head-on?"
"Everything in this world belongs to me, but I shall also give due reward to those who guard my treasures."
"What did you give Him?" Rovi asked, somewhat curious.
"[Sage's Tablet]." Gilgamesh replied.
Rovi: "?"
Damn it, you Golden Flash, is this how you just throw my clay tablet around everywhere?!
"Now that your mad dog's words have been inscribed, how can they not be widely known?!" Gilgamesh not only showed no remorse, but also seemed very proud. "Those Greek gods and men revered them to the extreme. I used to exchange them for many good things, hehehe!"
"Golden Pikachū".
"Um?"
"I'll call you an immortal!"
"You idiot with a brain malfunction dares to spout nonsense in front of me, the King?"
"Damn it, you bastard, Kim Golden Pikachū..."
It is clear that Gilgamesh himself saw and learned from those clay tablets.
As always, the noise echoed deep within the underworld, but to be honest, despite his dark past, Rovi still admired the Golden Pikachū before him.
After all, the reason his clay tablet became so 'precious' is precisely because of the series of actions he took during his lifetime, which gave it great mystery.
Moreover, while alive, they could exchange a great deal of foul language with the Greek gods, and after death, they could exchange their words for a piece of land in the underworld...
This Golden Pikachū is absolutely amazing.
"Those fellows tried to stop me from reuniting with my friend, but how could I let them succeed!?" Gilgamesh remained smug. "Hades, King of the Underworld, just tried to prevent me from arriving here, but I merely threw out a clay tablet, and he obediently submitted to me—"
In other words, Gilgamesh only just seized control of this domain... no wonder I hadn't sensed his presence before.
Rovi understood.
"Alright, now that we're back, let's go check out Uruk!"
"Look at the magnificent things we once built, the glorious achievements of our time!"
As they talked, the two ventured deeper into the Netherworld. In the flickering, eerie blue light, armored Uruk soldiers stood guard on both sides, protecting the 'border.' And in the center of their protective embrace, deep within the Netherworld, a magnificent city could be seen standing tall.
Just like the ancient Uruk Royal City.
With towering buildings and royal palaces at its core, Rovi even felt as if he had returned to the Mesopotamian Plain, back to the country where the three of them had forged the empire together.
This applies to people and things alike.
"It's good," he said.
"You deserve some credit for building this city." Gilgamesh glanced at him and grinned. "I have always reserved the throne for you and that fellow."
"The great achievements you have made are no less than those of me!"
Whether in the past, present, or future, Gilgamesh always regarded Rovi as the only person who could be his equal.
We have arrived at the royal palace.
"Your Majesty." Someone had been waiting there for a long time.
She wore a light veil, her face delicate and feminine.
That was Siduri after her 'death'.
The Grand Judge of Uruk's Underworld.
"Miss Siduri... it's been a long time." Rovi waved.
"Lord Rovi, it has indeed been a long time. It is so good to see you safe and sound." Siduri smiled, her demeanor as dignified as ever.
But you could tell she was happy too.
It has lasted for a long time.
My king, you have finally found your old comrade-in-arms again...
As the king's advisor, she naturally knew that Gilgamesh's expansion after entering the underworld, from beginning to end, was all in preparation for Rovi's's return.
His ' Clairvoyance ' allowed him to see this scene.
He has been preparing for this all along.
Unfortunately, one of the three kings was still missing.
"Little En? I've found her." Rovi said, "She'll wake up soon, and then the three of us will finally be reunited!"
"I knew I hadn't misjudged you." Gilgamesh nodded. "Of all the people in heaven and earth who could find that fellow, you are the only one, my dear friend!"
"By the way, Your Majesty," Siduri suddenly stepped forward, "Hades, King of the Underworld, is already waiting for you in the palace."
Gilgamesh was not surprised and simply waved his hand.
Rovi, however, was somewhat curious.
He had already met Zeus and Poseidon, the two King of Gods. Zeus's supreme strength and omnipotence, and Poseidon's purity and eternity, had left a deep impression on him. What would the third Greek god-king be like?
Could I kill myself...? No, I'm already dead.
That's alright then.
What intrigued him even more was the other party's purpose... Could it be that they had discovered the truth about those clay tablets and were here to confront him?
The God-King is fundamentally different from ordinary gods.
Even if those clay tablets possess a rich, mysterious aura, they can never be equated with a corner of the Netherworld...
The two ascended the towering steps leading to the palace, with Siduri following closely behind, and slowly entered the palace.
The throne still stands tall.
The pillars still stand tall.
The layout remains the same.
But below the steps of the throne, there was a figure with his back to them, dark and deep, exuding a sense of cold and deathly silence.
"Uruk, the King of the Underworld." The man heard the voice, slightly turned his gaze, revealing a pair of completely black eyes. "What is the meaning of you giving me these clay tablets?"
They really came to interrogate me.
"A treasure that speaks frankly to the king, embodying wisdom and courage—how could a small piece of the underworld soil possibly buy it?"
Retract the foreword.
This is a born donkey.
"Hahaha... This is a gift from me, and its value is determined by me. If I say it is, then it is!"
"It may be harsh to say, but I truly feel your magnanimity."
One dares to be a donkey, the other dares to be a donkey.
In some ways, they are a perfect match.
In his mind, Rovi silently labeled this Greek god of the King of the Underworld as an 'honest man'.
