How About Hatching a Tiamat for Me? 3/3

Realizing he had overestimated the woman's integrity, Samael secretly rolled his eyes, then confidently patted Ishtar's shoulder as encouragement.

"If you're satisfied, then go ahead. I promise you won't be treated badly after it's all over!"

So, does this mean he sold himself out?

Ishtar twitched her lips, her mind wandering.

When the goddess's peeping eyes fell upon that beautifully shaped face, her heart pounded, her blood rushed to her head, and a captivating blush rose to her cheeks. She couldn't help but mutter to herself.

If it's this guy, then it doesn't seem like it's entirely unacceptable.

Anyway, since we've already made a pact, if I make a small sacrifice to solidify this Sacred Marriage, then after Gilgamesh abdicates, the whole of Uruk will be mine, right?

Ishtar was lost in thought, her eyes growing brighter and brighter, her heart filled with restlessness.

Even the image of Samael reflected in her pupils resembled a smiling, beckoning cat waving its claws at her, its entire body radiating golden light and shimmering with the luster of gemstones.

Immediately, Ishtar, feeling dizzy, was carried out of the Royal Palace Divine Tower by the lucky cat behind her.

At this moment, only Samael and Anna remained in the empty hall.

The ancient snake picked up the silver pot, poured a cup of milk for the little girl, handed her a cup, and pulled up a chair to ask her about her condition as she sipped the milk.

"You have absorbed the powers of the Gorgon?"

"Um..."

Anna lowered her head and gave a subdued response, looking flustered like a child who had done something wrong, before opening her mouth to explain.

"But I never intended to do anything bad, much less hurt anyone!"

"Silly girl, how could I not trust you..."

"You are you, Gorgon is the Gorgon."

Samael chuckled and gently stroked Anna's head to comfort her.

Seeing that she wasn't being questioned, the purple-haired loli patted her chest and continued sipping her sweet milk.

Then, the ancient snake hesitated slightly, its expression strange.

"By the way, I wanted to ask, do you know how to... hatch eggs?"

"Puff!"

Anna, holding the cup, looked up in surprise and spat out a mouthful of milk onto Samael's face, which was close to hers. Instantly, the little girl's face turned red and feverish, and she kicked the man's shin hard with her right foot.

"Won't!"

The ancient snake watched as the figure slammed the cup down on the table and stormed out of the Royal Palace Divine Tower, then helplessly wiped the milk off its face and muttered to itself.

Apsu, the Father of Creation, was able to awaken because of the incubation of Gorgon.

Considering you're still young, I won't ask for much; just help me hatch a Tiamat.

Look, I've even prepared the Holy Grail...

Samael took out the Holy Grail and looked resentfully at his blinking, Cross Star Pupils in the mirror.

If the Gorgon's powers are not sufficient, then does that mean only those who control the wombs of beasts count?

The problem is, I'm a male snake, and I'm completely incompatible with the offspring of a beast. How could I possibly hatch anything?

Besides, who knows where to incubate it or how to incubate it!

Ever since the God of the Underworld granted me the power to strip away my authority, I have been in a deep sleep and I cannot wake him no matter how much I call him.

The ancient serpent gazed melancholically at the torrential rain outside the window, then lay on the table, fiddling with the Holy Grail in its hand, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The waters were divided into upper and lower sections, each occupying its own territory."

With the appearance of Apsu, he probably understood the mystery behind Ziusudra's first prophecy.

Tiamat and Apsu represent the unity of opposites at the Beginning of Creation, namely the two sides of life and death, birth and destruction, and also refer to the upper and Lower Waters respectively.

In the past, Tiamat, who came from the Sea of Imaginary Numbers above, was a calamity that destroyed Uruk.

The only way out is for Yang to use the power of the Abyss Underworld to suppress her life force and thus give her the Concept of Death.

Beneath the underworld lies the prison where Apsu is held.

Perhaps it was because of the existence of this God of Underground Freshwater that Tiamat's abilities were weakened and suppressed.

But now, Apsu has been resurrected, and the abyss waters below have become the culprits of the world's destruction.

Therefore, only the power of Tiamat might be able to neutralize Apsu's characteristics.

To put it simply, releasing Tiamat to deal with Apsu is the best solution.

But it's easier said than done.

He had considered using the Holy Grail to summon the god of death, but unfortunately, he couldn't get it right.

Unless it's Incomplete Form after Divine Degradation Tiamat after her demotion, there might still be a sliver of a possibility.

If he really had a solution, he wouldn't have randomly asked Anna.

But now it seems that this method is also unworkable.

Forget it, I'll try a different approach later. The things I have to deal with right now are more pressing.

Samael extinguished his unrealistic fantasies and focused on reviewing the current battle situation and secretly making calculations.

According to Kingu, Apsu should wake up in about seven days.

In this process, the first thing to do is to reduce the rainfall brought by the torrential rains, so as to prevent Uruk from turning into a desert prematurely and to delay the restoration of the God of Creation.

Currently, the only things capable of altering the climate over a long period and on a large scale are Quetzalcoatl and the Sun Calendar Stone in her possession.

Therefore, Samael commissioned the Maya Goddess to return to her own temple, dismantle her second Noble Phantasm, and bring it to Uruk to dispel the bad weather.

The problem is that Apsu not only has a higher divine status Quetzalcoatl, but also has the buffs of native Qicheng and [Destiny], not to mention that Feathered Serpent God has had his divinity reduced by nearly half.

Therefore, according to the ancient snake's speculation, this method is only a temporary solution and can at most buy some time.

Hopefully, with this extra time, the orders he placed before Apsu woke up could still be shipped out in time.

Grandpa Ziusudra, I'm counting on you to help Sumer hold on.

Samael prayed silently for a moment, then turned his gaze to the broken clay tablet in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly.

This thing was given to him discreetly by the Feathered Serpent God before Linqi's embrace, and the contents recorded inside did indeed give him a sense of something unusual.

If the information is true, the trouble caused by Apsu may only be the beginning.

As night deepened, the gates of the Royal Palace Divine Tower creaked open. Samael, who was sitting in front of the sand table deep in thought, looked up and smiled slightly after seeing the bright golden hair.

"Ereshkigal, you've come..."

"Hmm, I was a little worried when I heard you calling. What's wrong?"

Within Ishtar's body, Ereshkigal, whose consciousness had surfaced, glanced at the red and black divine mark on Samael's hand, and, feigning nonchalance, responded.

"I would like to ask you to help me collect Enkidu's memories."

"But her soul has vanished because of the Curse of the Gods, where am I supposed to collect it?"

Ereshkigal looked troubled and somewhat helpless.

Samael tapped his head, smiled knowingly.

"Enkidu's soul is gone, but Shamhat, Gilgamesh, Siduri, and all of Uruk, those who remember her, are still here."

"Memories are interconnected. Why not try to extract the time spent with Enkidu from the minds of those involved?"

Sometimes, we Live in Others' Eyes...

Ereshkigal suddenly understood, her eyes sparkling with wonder.

"Good job! You're really something, Samael!"
