Bring Some "Sincerity"! 1/4

"You didn't hide it inside Mayan Pyramid?"

"Based on the description of the inch just now, how is this possible..."

"Could it still be in the Temple of Ea in Eridu?"

"I've taken over that area, and I haven't seen any large objects like that..."

The more questions Samael asked, the uglier his face became. Still unwilling to give up, he paced around the back of the Mayan Pyramid, muttering to himself.

"That shouldn't be the case..."

At this moment, the Feathered Serpent God gazed at the Mayan temple with a profound and meaningful tone.

"Anyway, I haven't seen it since I arrived, but maybe it existed before."

Samael's body stiffened, and his mind was as if struck by lightning, the fog instantly dissipating.

Beneath the vines that were inadvertently kicked aside at one's feet, several barely visible scratches were hidden.

Merlin picked up the scattered pebbles and solemnly handed them to Samael.

The traces of Wedge-shaped Divine Script are faintly visible on it. Although it is broken and incomplete, the general outline can still be seen.

He had seen these cuneiform characters in Uruk before—the curse of the gods! Ishtar had learned this the hard way!

The man's heart pounded. He immediately climbed back to the top of the Mayan temple and looked down from different angles. His face gradually darkened, and he even faintly revealed a hint of paleness.

These traces confirm that the Marduk's Axe did indeed exist!

Furthermore, it seems that to ensure the safety of this thing, several guardian statues have been placed nearby to protect the surrounding area.

After that, some unknown force forcibly pulled it from the ground, even erasing it!

Based on the age of the marks, the growth of the surrounding vegetation, and the guidance of Feathered Serpent God, Marduk's Axe had been missing for at least six months.

In other words, the thing used to fight the Beast Goddess had already disappeared by the time the Great Hollow first appeared and the Three Goddesses Alliance was finalized!

"That doesn't make sense..."

Ishtar stepped forward, her brow slightly furrowed, her expression puzzled.

It is generally known that the Marduk's Axe, as a symbol of Eridu, was left on the ground by the King of Kings for people to worship.

How could it suddenly disappear? Who did it?

"It doesn't make sense, anyway, I don't have the habit of carelessly throwing away magical artifacts."

Quetzalcoatl chuckled in response, his expression mocking.

In a daze, Samael's breath hitched, as if he had thought of something, and he immediately grabbed the blonde woman's shoulder.

"In the center of Eridu, is that oldest Cylinder Seal, which records the [Mandate of Heaven], still there?"

Feathered Serpent God nodded with a smile, and then, at Samael's request, led everyone to ride the wind god pterosaur to watch from the front.

Upon arrival, the ancient serpent jumped off the pterosaur's back and hurriedly headed to the location of the Cylinder Seal to take a look.

A Cylinder Seal is a pillar engraved with Cuneiform Rune and is a symbolic landmark.

The one from Eridu is the oldest, and it records various myths and histories of Mesopotamia from its birth to the present.

From the creation of the world by the saltwater Tiamat and the sweetwater Apsu, to the gods' patricide and usurpation of power;

From the birth of the Golden Humans to the destruction caused by the Great Flood of Enlil;

From the disqualification of the birth of the Wedge of Heaven to the guidance of the arrival of the Chain of Heaven;

Due to the great age of the artifacts and the difficulty in sorting them, everyone seemed to be struggling. Merlin, quite sensibly, waved his wand to complete the copying of the space and imprinted the contents onto the clay tablet.

Samael vaguely saw in these myths and histories records that were extremely similar to the two great Mesopotamian epics, Enuma Elish and Gilgamesh.

When the ancient serpent's gaze turned to the end, it was astonishing to find that the crucial passage had been forcibly erased by an invisible force, leaving only ambiguous fragments of words.

Cylinder Seal, besides recording history, also contain chapters that predict the future.

What Yu lost was precisely the most crucial part.

"City... Dragon..."

Anna leaned close to the clay tablet, muttering and pondering over the few missing characters, while Merlin also frowned deeply.

"When the sky is covered by a halo, the land of Mesopotamia will return to its origin, and a colossal dragon will rise from the black tide, carrying darkness and obliterating cities one by one..."

"This is the one destined to destroy the world! A terrifying catastrophe!"

"The Evening Bell bells have tolled, and the world will be reborn!"

"Everything must come to an end; nothing can stop it, nothing can defy it..."

A low murmur came from behind, and everyone looked up in surprise, their intertwined gazes converging on Samael, who was holding a clay tablet.

Why are you all looking at me?

Noticing the intense gaze freeze, the ancient snake looked up in surprise.

What you just said was...

"That? I just made it up based on the 'fu' style!"

Samael blinked innocently, and Merlin, who had asked the question, caught his breath, feeling for the first time the urge to strangle someone.

The four goddesses beside her, whose hearts were inexplicably pounding, breathed a sigh of relief, yet a strange unease lingered within them.

"Alright, we've seen everything, can we go now?"

Attracted by the ancient serpent, everyone instinctively followed, leaping onto the Quetzalcoatl and flying to the open space in front of the Mayan Pyramid.

"Um, Feathered Serpent God, do you have a quiet place here to talk?"

Samael, who was the first to flip down from the pterosaur's back, smiled and extended his hand in an invitation.

"Damn it, inside my temple!"

"Am I going to be confessed to by a cute little brother so soon? I'm a little shy."

Feathered Serpent God cupped his slightly flushed cheeks in his hands, looking shy, and then, without saying a word, pulled Samael into the interior of his Mayan Pyramid -shaped temple.

"Hey! This is clearly mine! How come there's another one trying to steal it!"

"Even if you're going to steal it, you have to talk to me first!"

"Let's discuss this! Don't you understand what a Latina woman is? Where's your sincerity?!"

Seeing that the fat sheep she had nurtured was about to be snatched away by someone else, Ishtar shouted and chased after him.

Merlin and Anna exchanged a glance and followed one after the other into the Mayan Pyramid. The Jaguar Man, who loved to join in the fun, also went with the flow to watch the show.

However, the instant everyone stepped onto the Mayan Pyramid, the giant stone that served as the gate suddenly fell, and rings of divine runes were activated simultaneously.

Then, the oil lamps on both sides were lit, and the Feathered Serpent God, who had been completely devoid of his previous coyness, looked at Samael, who was standing in front of the stone table, and spoke gently.

"It's safe here. Say whatever you want to say."

"Bang!"

The ancient serpent slammed its hands heavily on the stone table, its raised face as gloomy as still water, and the words squeezed out from between its teeth were full of a harsh and cold aura.

"We're in big trouble now!"

"Is it because of Marduk's Axe? Perhaps it's just a coincidence."

"Don't worry, even Quetzalcoatl, the strongest of the Three Goddesses, has sided with Uruk. We can think of other ways to deal with the Beast Goddess."

Ishtar seemed lost in thought. The growing team rapport she had cultivated led her to speak up and offer Shepherd Priest she had chosen.

"No combination? You think all of this is no combination?"

Samael slowly raised his head, his expression gloomy, and asked a question, word by word.
