The Goddess's Accusation

"Lovers, family, friends, praise—you have it all!"

"Why... why are you taking my things!"

"The only thing I have left!"

Red light surged from the giant skull's eye sockets, and a beam of light swept across, intending to cleave the annoying "little dragonfly" in two.

However, Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm projection and Merlin's illusion enhancement caused Ereshkigal to only stagger and strike the illusory afterimage.

"You place your hopes on me, yet you want to help her!"

"It's not fair! It's not fair!"

"They're all liars!"

The Underworld Goddess, engulfed in flames, went to extremes, ruthlessly lowering the lance wheel, preparing to unleash her Noble Phantasm once more.

"Ereshkigal! That's enough!"

"If you like something, go for it! If you want it, say it out loud!"

"When faced with frustrating situations, you go down a dead end, vent your frustrations mindlessly, hurting others and yourself even more. What kind of behavior is that!"

"If you continue like this, all the people who care about you will stay far away!"

Under the cover of the crowd, Ishtar flew through the strong wind to the side of the dark red skull, angrily scolding it for its lack of ambition.

"Shut up!"

Ereshkigal, who had sealed herself within a skeleton, had her inner cowardice exposed. And after seeing the still-dried bloodstains on the ground, she clutched her cloak tightly in shame and indignation.

"I won't!"

Ishtar leaped onto the shoulder of the giant skeleton, facing the deathly fog, and proudly raised her chin.

"So what if I take your things? Even if I gave you the chance, would you dare to take them back?!"

Immediately, the goddess, the size of an elf, raised her hand and conjured a wisp of pink mist, which she then flung into the skull's eye socket.

Merlin, who was watching from afar, immediately understood and shouted at the two flanks where the two were converging.

"Anna, throw it over!"

"Um!"

Before Samael could react, the chain wrapped around his waist immediately swung forward.

The ancient serpent, which was the target of the competition, suddenly crashed into the giant skeleton's arms.

Samael couldn't help but shed tears; what a great group of teammates they were!

I was planning to sell Ishtar, and you all conspired to sell me out!

Don't they think about what would happen if those two sisters started competing and split me in half?!

However, the expected heavy impact did not arrive as predicted.

Samael fell straight into the ethereal skeleton and bumped into a warm embrace that instinctively opened its arms.

After a roll upon landing, the ancient snake was shocked to find itself with Ereshkigal pinned beneath it when it got up.

At the same time, a scalding heat emanated from the point of contact between their skin. The God of the Underworld, who had just been gloomy and angry, now had hazy eyes and an alluring pink flush on his cheeks.

"Don't... don't touch me! You're a liar!"

Seeing that the two were now very close, the mist in Ereshkigal's eyes flickered, and a cold expression settled on her face. She then glared angrily at Samael and raised her hand to push him away.

Just as the ancient serpent was extremely embarrassed and at a loss, the three-inch-tall Ishtar Fei Ereshkigal placed its fingers and palms close to the rather regrettable pair of breasts.

A thick, pink mist seeped into the goddess's core through her pores and skin.

Instantly, Ereshkigal, whose pretty face had just been filled with frost and anger, became as if she were drunk, her face flushed, and her pushing movements became weak and feeble.

"Idiot, do I have to remind you of something like this?"

"Should I hold your hands and feet down? Go for it!"

Just as Samael's brain went blank, Ishtar, who seemed to be monopolizing her sister's breasts, reminded him with exasperation, while shrugging her shoulders and complaining.

"This time, I'm risking my life to help you!"

"If she regains her senses and you still haven't convinced her, I'll be lucky to be stabbed to death!"

Aren't you afraid that if you fail to persuade her, she'll stab me in the back?!

The ancient snake swallowed hard, engaging in a psychological battle between being a beast and being worse than a beast, its downward thrust repeatedly pausing.

Finally, their lips were about to touch, their rough breaths exhaling onto each other's skin, bringing waves of heat.

Like a chick pecking at rice, after taking a bite of Ereshkigal's burning cheek, Samael, seemingly having made a decision, immediately looked up with a dry laugh.

"Um, how about we ask Ereshkigal's opinion again..."

"Bang!"

However, before Ishtar could even strike and kill the guy, a pair of intertwined arms hooked around Samael's neck and suddenly pressed down.

Immediately, their eyes met, and the delicate blush on Ereshkigal's face, along with the emotions stirred within her, caused Gu She to fall instantly. The two drew close and finally kissed passionately.

Seeing that the time was ripe, and desperate to save her own life, Ishtar began her usual flirtatious behavior, fully utilizing the power of the Goddess of Love and Beauty to the extreme.

"Don't just kiss! Hold hands!"

"Get started, you idiots! You're telling me you can't teach me? You guys are driving me crazy!"

"And also, explain this for me now!"

"At this point, she'll believe anything you say!"

Ishtar, who continued to maintain the pink mist, guided Samael on how to flirt with this body while whispering and shouting in someone's ear.

Meanwhile, as Ishtar climbed up and down the ground to provide guidance, she felt inexplicably heartbroken.

Dozens of steps away, even Merlin and Gilgamesh were used to grand scenes, couldn't help but twitch their lips slightly.

This seems like the behavior of a wicked younger sister who stole her older sister's man, then went to her sister's house to show off, and helped her treacherous husband ruin her sister's life as well.

Yes, that's outrageous!

The chief culprit is none other than Uruk, the goddess of love and marriage.

Despite this, the two guys showed no intention of stopping them; on the contrary, they watched with great interest.

Merlin even went so far as to transform the ground into a sea of flowers, using illusion magic to enhance the tactile experience.

Immediately, the White-Haired Succubus seemed to remember something and looked down at the purple-haired loli beside her for a reminder.

"Oh, right..."

"Anna, close your eyes. Children shouldn't watch this kind of thing..."

The little girl under the hood obediently raised her hands to cover her eyes, but through the gaps between her fingers, her pair of purple Mystic Eyes stared straight ahead.

After a long while, their lips parted.

After explaining her journey and her encounter with Ishtar, Ereshkigal's eyes gradually regained their Ereshkigal, and an unnatural blush rose on her cheeks.

"I never thought of running away from you. I came here this time to fight alongside you for the humans you love."

The ancient serpent's sincere whispers gradually calmed the Underworld Goddess's panic and inferiority.

Furthermore, after learning that Ishtar's alleged misdeeds during their several meetings were just a misunderstanding, Ereshkigal couldn't help but feel a surge of secret joy.

However, this change in status was too sudden. The two cherished each other and, due to the influence of "love," they took this step by chance.

Therefore, after both of them regained their senses, their tenderness lasted only a short time before they tacitly gave each other some independent space, maintaining a close yet distant intimacy.

"I can let bygones be bygones."

"But just now, you didn't see or hear anything! No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today!"

Sensing the increasingly strange atmosphere around her, and knowing that her embarrassing moment had been witnessed by everyone, the goddess was filled with shame and indignation. Before negotiating, she didn't forget to threaten to shut up, displaying her arrogant and haughty demeanor.

Then, Ereshkigal coughed dryly, maintaining the composure that everyone else saw as already shattered.

"Ahem, let's talk about the defense of Uruk first..."

Just as everyone gathered at the Temple of Heat, preparing to discuss the follow-up, a strong tremor came from the ground.

This place is... Uruk!

Everyone's hearts pounded, and a sense of foreboding arose within them.
