Despite being lofty deities, both of them looked down on her even more.
However, this sudden appearance seemed even more mysterious than Gilgamesh.
A presence emanated from him that even she couldn't see through, as if he contained countless worlds and infinite time.
More transcendent than a god!
Thinking this, Ishtar's rage gradually subsided.
As the goddess most favored by the gods, she could have anything she wanted.
Even the King of Uruk was merely a collectible human treasure in her eyes.
Now, she seemed to have found a rarer collectible.
Facing someone who disdained gods and had such a peculiar origin only made her desire to collect him more.
Interesting!
Truly interesting!
Since he hated gods so much, she'd switch to a human's way of love.
As a goddess, she could do whatever she pleased without restraint!
To mortals, falling in love, confessing, getting together, and even marriage and children were wonderful things.
But in Ishtar's eyes, it was wrong.
Even marriage had a clear hierarchy, with relationships of exploitation and being exploited.
Love was war.
Therefore, she wanted him to confess to her, to completely lower his proud head to her!
Ishtar said with a smile, "Humble mortal, put down your sword and confess to this goddess!"
[Nameless, please stop emitting that damn, unrestrained charm of yours!]
[Lady Ishtar wants me to confess~ A battle of wits in love between a god and a human~]
[I was wondering why Little Mo would fight with Father King... So goddesses want to snatch him too!]
[Golden Star Goddess's affections have shifted (×), Golden Star Goddess wants to snatch Nameless from the King of Heroes (√)!]
"You actually want him to confess to you?"
Tohsaka Rin's face suddenly flushed.
This was because the goddess Ishtar looked exactly like her.
And Nameless bore a strong resemblance to that idiot Wei Gong, who loved high jumps, secretly helping others without asking for anything in return.
When calculated this way, wasn't it equivalent to her confessing to Wei Gong?
She remembered when she asked Wei Gong why he always helped others, and he had said--
"I was caught in the rain once, so I want to hold an umbrella for others."
That sentence was etched into her DNA, and she could never forget it.
Damn it, how could I possibly like this idiot who can't jump high but keeps trying, is always ordered around but happy to help, and has great cooking skills despite being a man?
And then.
Tohsaka Rin saw Nameless's reply in the video--
"I refuse, because I hate gods, unless you become human!"
Huh???
She was instantly stunned.
Could it be that the goddess Ishtar was her past life?
Did she shed her divine body and become human to be with Nameless?
If that were the case, was Wei Gong's past life Nameless?
No, no, I'm overthinking it. How could such a coincidence happen?
Tohsaka Rin felt her cheeks turn red, burning like fire.
Too, too terrifying.
Predestined marriage in past lives, only an idiot would believe that!
In the video.
Facing Nameless's refusal, Ishtar snorted, "Mortals are indeed mortals, only fit to stay on the ground forever!"
"Ishtar, I think I like you..."
Nameless suddenly looked at her with an incredibly affectionate expression.
"Eh?"
Ishtar froze.
That wasn't the answer she expected.
How could someone so arrogant, so hostile towards gods, suddenly fall for her?
No, no. As the goddess of beauty, no mere mortal could resist her charm!
Ishtar's smile grew even brighter. "Mortal, confess your love to the most beautiful, most elegant goddess!"
"I like your sister, Ereshkigal! Sorry, but in my eyes, you're just a monkey. Humans can't be with monkeys!" Nameless said with utmost seriousness.
As soon as he said that, the entire scene fell silent.
The smile on Ishtar's face gradually vanished, and she stared at him blankly.
She was being compared to a monkey?!
Gilgamesh couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Nameless, you never cease to surprise me, King!"
For him, who had always detested gods—
This was truly exhilarating!
Ishtar's face turned red at a visible speed, and she fell into a rage. "You bastard! That woman who hides underground all day, embracing death, is more charming than me?"
"Yes, more charming than you! You're like a monkey in my eyes. Should I call you Monkey King?" Nameless replied calmly.
Ishtar's sister, the mistress of the Underworld, Ereshkigal, was the most feared and reviled existence among humans and gods alike.
This was because seeing her was akin to facing death itself!
No one liked death.
Naturally, no one liked the mistress of the Underworld.
And now, this guy was saying Ereshkigal was more charming than her!
This was unbearable, and she instantly broke down!
Ishtar snorted coldly. "That woman stays underground all day. If she has the guts, let her come before me."
"You wish to see me?"
An extremely chilling aura, as if it could freeze one's soul, descended quietly.
A girl who looked exactly like her stood in the shadows of the city wall, looking at her expressionlessly.
"Ah, why did you come out?"
Ishtar was dumbfounded and immediately took a few steps back. She was seeing a ghost!
Although the two were sister goddesses.
But let's not forget, she had been killed by her once before.
Fortunately, she was personally resurrected by the King of the Gods, Anu!
Facing the terrified Ishtar, the mistress of the Underworld, enveloped in an aura of deathly stillness, didn't even glance at her.
Instead, she looked at the handsome man beside her. "Nameless, aren't you afraid of me?"
Her feigned cold voice trembled slightly.
Everyone feared her and dared not meet her.
But now, someone was saying she was cute, and that he liked her more than her sister, Ishtar!
She was afraid he was just playing and that her only ray of light would be extinguished.
Now, she stood under the shadow of the city wall, as if in a dark hell.
And he, bathed in brilliant sunlight, had a warm and sacred smile.
It was like one was hell and the other was heaven!
"Of course not. A goddess as gentle, virtuous, considerate, easily embarrassed, tsundere, and easily flustered as you, who wouldn't like you?" Nameless smiled very gently.
This treatment made Ishtar beside him feel a pang of jealousy.
Damn it!
You bastard human, why are you treating the sister goddesses differently? How can you be so obviously biased?
"I, I am the mistress of the Underworld, how could I be easily embarrassed or tsundere!"
A faint blush appeared on Ereshkigal's face.
Why would this human of mysterious origin evaluate the goddess of death like this?
Gentle? Virtuous? Considerate?
Wasn't she supposed to be the embodiment of terror, coldness, and slaughter, the very definition of death?
"You're really cute!"
Nameless's smile grew even gentler.
He stepped out of the sunlight and into the shadows, as if walking from heaven into hell.
"Don't come any closer!"
Ereshkigal reached out, wanting to touch him, but her words were full of anxious dissuasion.
Though she craved praise and closeness from people.
She was the Mistress of the Underworld, and any mortal who dared approach would surely die!
When Nameless stepped into the shadows and walked towards her.
This terrifying, brutal Mistress of the Underworld, instantly vanished without a trace.
She actually ran away!?
"So cute!"
Nameless grinned even wider, as if satisfied with a successful prank.
"Bastard, you're dead! The gods have already dispatched Divine Weapons to utterly destroy you and the King of Heroes!"
The Golden Venus Goddess was utterly furious.
I came first, whether it was to make him confess or for him to fall for me, why did it turn out like this?
After saying that, she didn't want to stay any longer.
Stay and continue to be humiliated?
Damn it, what happened to sisterly love?
She had even thought about helping him.
But now it seemed, he didn't need her help at all!
