That Woman Has Gone Crazy Again

Uruk, the dark chamber of the sacrificial site.

Samael held the Soul Cage in his hand and shook it gently; a pleasant thumping sound came from inside.

Wisps of deathly gray mist escaped from the acupoints of the six unconscious individuals and were drawn out of the cage.

Immediately, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the faces of the victims lying on the ground became visibly rosy, and their hearts began to rise and fall within their chests.

Upon seeing this, Siduri quickly stepped forward to check, lifted her eyelids, and felt her pulse. She was both pleased and worried.

"Their vital signs have returned to normal, but they still show no signs of waking up."

Samael frowned slightly, his expression serious.

"That's because the underground of Uruk is filled with Death Qi, which suppresses their bodies and forces their souls, which are forced to leave their bodies, to be imprisoned."

"Of course, I'm more inclined to believe it's some kind of alternative protection, otherwise these bodies would have rotted away long ago."

"The details will all come to light once you make a trip to the underworld."

Merlin, carrying his staff, emerged from the corner and solemnly instructed Siduri.

"Their recovery of their aircraft is both a good thing and a bad thing."

"On the one hand, you don't need to maintain the corpse preservation Magecraft circle, so you can allocate more manpower to ensure the operation of Uruk."

"But on the other hand, if the soul and body are separated for too long, they will also suffer unnecessary damage."

"Therefore, within three days, we will bring these imprisoned souls back to their respective bodies from the underworld."

The high priest immediately understood the hidden meaning of the court Magecraft, raised his right hand, unconsciously pressed the energy potion in his pocket, and nodded solemnly.

"Okay! I'll try to give you three days!"

"No matter what, I will defend Uruk! I'm leaving the rest to you all!"

Immediately, the flower Magecraft turned around, glanced at the cage that could dispel Death Qi, and then looked at the Underworld Protection on the back of Samael's hand.

"It seems that the goddess's favor is not without reason. This time, we'll probably have to rely on you, Samael."

"It's our duty; we're all in the same boat now."

The ancient serpent nodded slightly, but then paused for a moment, his brow furrowing slightly.

"However, before that, I need to thoroughly search every street and alley in Uruk to remove the remaining Death Qi."

"Otherwise, even more people will die from exhaustion, and then the Babylonia defenses will likely collapse on their own!"

"Oh, right, we also need to help Kusa and his group. They're probably in a similar situation. Let's help them out and ease the burden on the shrine and the Astrology Platform."

At this moment, faint traces of Death Qi emanated from the ground in the crisscrossing streets and various dark corners outside the arena.

"Alright, let's get ready tonight and set off tomorrow!"

"How do we get to the underworld? Is there a specific entrance?"

Merlin was getting impatient, and Anna, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but ask.

"Kusa is the guardian of the Goddess of the Underworld, and the plague first spread from there. The underworld of the gods is underground."

"The pervasive Death Qi proves that the underworld and the surface are extremely close. We only need to blast through the thin layer of soil and barrier to find a direct path to the underworld."

Samael added that he had a profound understanding of the inner workings of the underworld, and Ishtar immediately nodded in agreement.

"That's right, we can break in from Kusa. As long as we activate Ma'anna and unleash Noble Phantasm, breaking through the barrier shouldn't be a problem."

"Besides, Kusa is all gone, and it's that woman's territory again, so it doesn't matter what we do with her."

"Sir, let's get this straight: you're not allowed to touch my Uruk!"

As they spoke, a certain crazy woman grinned from ear to ear, eager to try, her face almost revealing her gloating and deliberate revenge.

Feathered Serpent God gently rubbed his forehead, his expression somewhat helpless.

"Don't worry, if we dig a tunnel through Uruk, the news of King Gilgamesh's death will not be kept secret at all."

Although both are goddesses associated with Venus, this woman's unconventional and willful personality makes her less than admirable.

"Alright, let's do it this way. We'll set off for the underground tomorrow. I'll lead the team, and Anna, Merlin, Ishtar will accompany us."

"Let's work together to rescue the trapped souls, defeat the Goddess of the Underworld Ereshkigal, and dismantle the second pillar of the Three Goddesses Alliance!"

"As for Feathered Serpent God Sister Quetzalcoatl, you are bound by the Triple Goddess Alliance Contract, so it would be better for you to stay in Uruk with Miss Leopard Person."

Samael raised his arm and pondered for a moment before making arrangements. He had gradually developed trust in the ancient serpent in all aspects, and the gods all nodded in agreement.

However, just as everyone was preparing to leave to deal with their own affairs, Siduri recalled the three large baskets of Clay Tablet piled up in the Royal Palace Divine Tower and couldn't help but look troubled.

"Gentlemen, the king has perished. I am, after all, only the chief priest in charge of resource allocation. There are some things that I cannot decide, whether due to experience or seniority."

"Now that everyone's back, why don't we..."

As the high priest spoke, his gaze turned to Merlin, who had experience in assisting kings.

"You're looking for someone to discuss it with, right? Then let's go with him!"

"His meaning is our meaning!"

The old fox immediately stepped aside, pushed Samael in front of him, and with a knowing expression, grabbed the snake's left wrist, raised the back of his hand, and revealed a golden-white crown pattern.

"Moreover, this Shepherd Priest was carefully selected by Lord Ishtar, the guardian deity of Uruk. He not only has full authority over the Shrine Maiden's Office and temples, but also represents the will of the gods."

"In addition to his two merits in the ruins of Babylon and the Absolute Demonic Beast Front, as well as his great achievements in conquering the three goddesses Ishtar, Quetzalcoatl, and the Jaguar Man, he is absolutely qualified in terms of both status and ability!"

Siduri raised her hand and grabbed Samael's arm, which she instinctively tried to curl up. She carefully examined the divine seal on it, and her probing gaze involuntarily turned to Ishtar.

"That's right! Samael is the one whom the goddess has taken a liking to, and no one is allowed to take him away."

"Even if you want to transfer someone on loan, you have to show some sincerity first. Do you understand sincerity?"

This stunning woman placed her left hand on her hip and extended her right hand forward, repeatedly shaking it in a suggestive manner.

However, Siduri subconsciously ignored the money-grubbing goddess and fixed her serious gaze on Samael, nodding slightly.

"Since it's Shepherd Priest, then there's no problem."

"Although it is disrespectful to King Gilgamesh, all matters of urgency must be handled in due course, and there is precedent for this, so it is not considered an overstepping of authority."

"Next, I'll trouble Samael to come with me to the Royal Palace Divine Tower to finalize these thorny issues together."

However, the ancient serpent knew its own limitations and did not want to easily take on this heavy responsibility. Instead, it glared at Merlin, who had sold him out.

"Don't worry, you can do it."

"Besides, we're not abandoning you. If you have any problems, contact us via the Sorcery Array. I promise I won't shirk my responsibility."

Seeing Samael's suspicious look, Merlin stepped forward, put his arm around the ancient snake's shoulder, and whispered something.

"You can't carry Soul Cage to stroll around the streets to dispel the Death Qi during the day. If you make a big fuss, the people's hearts will inevitably be unsettled."

"Why don't we take this opportunity to help Siduri? She's almost at her breaking point."

The ancient snake glanced back at the pale-faced high priestess, and recalling how she had taken care of him in the past, his expression softened considerably.

"Furthermore, I believe that Siduri is just a bit insecure and conservative, and doesn't dare to overstep her bounds."

"The high priest needs a humanoid seal of sufficient importance by his side, and at present, you are the most suitable."

"If you need to go, you can do whatever you want in the Royal Palace Divine Tower. It won't get in the way anyway."

The Magecraft, with his keen insight into the situation in Uruk, conducted a rational analysis, which ultimately led Samael, after much deliberation, to slowly nod in agreement.

Coincidentally, he also needed to go to the Royal Palace Divine Tower to investigate something.
