They were clearly lofty gods, yet these two looked down on her more than the other.
However, this sudden newcomer seemed even more mysterious than Gilgamesh.
An aura that even she could not see through permeated him, as if countless worlds and countless ages had been condensed within him.
He was even more transcendent than a god!
At that thought, Ishtar's anger gradually subsided.
As the goddess most beloved by the gods, she could obtain anything she wanted.
Even the King of Uruk was no more than a collectible humanoid treasure in her eyes.
Now, it seemed she had found an even rarer collectible.
A strange fellow who looked down on the gods like this only made her want to collect him more.
Interesting!
How truly interesting!
Since he hated gods so much, she would switch to the human way of romance.
That was how gods were—reckless and completely unrestrained, doing whatever they wanted!
In the eyes of mortals, falling for someone, confessing, getting together, and even marrying and having children were all wonderful things.
But in Ishtar's eyes, that was wrong.
Even marriage had a clear hierarchy, with one side exploiting and the other being exploited.
Love was war.
Therefore, she would make him confess to her and completely bow his proud head!
With a smile all over her face, Ishtar said, "Humble mortal, put down your sword and confess your love to this goddess!"
[Nameless, please rein in that damn charm of yours before it runs wild!]
[Lady Ishtar wants me to confess~ The Mental War of Love Between a Goddess and a Human~]
[I was wondering why Little Mordred would compete with Father King... So all goddesses want to snatch him too!]
[The Venus Goddess has fallen for someone else (×), the Venus Goddess wants to snatch Nameless from the King of Heroes (√)!]
"You actually want him to confess to you?"
Tohsaka Rin's face suddenly flushed.
That was because the goddess Ishtar looked exactly like her.
And Nameless resembled that idiot Wei Gong, who loved jumping high, silently helping others without asking for anything in return.
If you added it all up, wouldn't that mean she was confessing her love to Wei Gong?
She remembered asking Wei Gong why he kept helping other people. That guy had said—
"I've been caught in the rain before, so I want to hold an umbrella for others."
Those words had been etched deeply into her DNA, and she could never forget them.
Damn it, how could I possibly like an idiot who can't jump high enough yet keeps trying, gets ordered around by people every day yet still enjoys helping others, and is obviously a man yet has such good cooking skills...?
Then.
Tohsaka Rin saw Nameless answer 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 really was her past life?
Had she shed her divine form and become human to obtain Nameless?
If that was the case, could Wei Gong's past life have been Nameless?
No, no, I'm overthinking it. How could such a coincidence be possible?
Tohsaka Rin felt her cheeks flush bright red, burning as if they were on fire.
This was, this was too terrifying.
Only idiots would believe in something like a destined marriage from a past life!
In the video.
Facing Nameless's refusal, Ishtar snorted. "A mortal is still a mortal. You truly deserve to remain on the ground forever!"
"Ishtar, I think I like you..."
Nameless suddenly looked at her with an incomparably affectionate expression.
"Huh?"
Ishtar froze.
That wasn't the answer she had expected.
How could someone so arrogant and hostile toward the gods suddenly fall for her?
No, no. As the goddess who governed beauty, how could a mere mortal possibly resist her charm?
Ishtar's smile grew even brighter. "Mortal, come and confess your love to the most beautiful and elegant goddess!"
"I like your big sister Ereshkigal! Sorry, but in my eyes, you're just a monkey. Humans can't be together with monkeys!" Nameless said with utmost seriousness.
The moment those words came out, the entire scene fell silent.
The smile gradually vanished from Ishtar's face as she stared blankly at him.
He had actually treated her as a monkey???
Gilgamesh could not help laughing out loud. "Hahaha! Nameless, as expected of you. You always manage to give this king a surprise!"
For someone who had always hated gods—
I'm having the time of my life!
Ishtar's face reddened at a visible speed, and she plunged into a furious rage. "Bastard, is that fellow who hides underground every day and embraces death more charming than me?"
"Yes, she's more charming than you! In my eyes, you're just like a monkey. Should I call you Monkey King?" Nameless replied calmly.
Ishtar's elder sister, Ereshkigal, the mistress of the Underworld, was practically the being most feared and hated by both humanity and the gods.
That was because seeing her was equivalent to facing death itself!
No one liked death.
Naturally, no one liked the mistress of the Underworld.
Yet now, this guy was actually saying that Ereshkigal was more charming than her!
This was intolerable. She instantly broke down.
Ishtar snorted. "That woman stays underground every day. If she's so capable, let her come stand in front of me!"
"You want to see me?"
An icy aura, cold enough to freeze the soul, quietly descended.
A girl who looked exactly like her stood in the shadow of the city wall, staring at her expressionlessly.
"Ahaha, how did you get out?"
Ishtar looked utterly bewildered and instantly took several steps back. This was a real-life ghost encounter!
Although the two of them were divine sisters, one thing could not be forgotten.
Back then, Ishtar had been killed by her once.
Fortunately, she had been personally revived by Anu, King of the Gods!
Facing the frightened Ishtar, the mistress of the Underworld, her whole body wreathed in an aura of death, did not even spare her a glance.
Instead, she looked at the handsome man beside her. "Nameless, aren't you afraid of me?"
Her deliberately cold voice trembled slightly.
Everyone feared her. No one even dared to meet her.
Yet now, someone had actually said she was cute, and that he liked her even more than her younger sister Ishtar!
She was terrified that he was only joking. Terrified that the one source of light she had would be extinguished forever.
Now, she stood beneath the shadow of the city wall, as if she were in a dark hell.
Meanwhile, he bathed in brilliant sunlight, his smile warm and divine.
It was as if one side were hell and the other heaven!
"Of course not. You're such a gentle, virtuous, considerate, easily embarrassed, easily tsundere, easily white... goddess. Who could possibly not like you?" Nameless said with an exceptionally gentle smile.
Seeing this treatment, Ishtar's heart soured.
Damn it!
Bastard human, why were you treating divine sisters differently? How could you be such a shameless hypocrite?
"I-I'm the mistress of the Underworld. How could I possibly be easily embarrassed or easily tsundere?"
A faint blush appeared on Ereshkigal's face.
Why would this mysterious human evaluate the goddess of the Underworld, who governed death, like this?
Gentle? Virtuous? Considerate?
Weren't terror, coldness, and slaughter the synonyms of death in everyone's eyes?
"You really are adorable!"
Nameless's smile grew even gentler.
He stepped out of the sunlight and walked toward the shadows, as if walking from heaven into hell.
"Don't come over!"
Ereshkigal reached out, wanting to touch him, yet anxiously tried to stop him.
Although she longed to be praised and approached by others, she was the mistress of the Underworld. Any mortal who dared come near her would surely die!
When Nameless stepped into the shadows and walked toward her,
the terrifying and savage mistress of the Underworld from the legends vanished without a trace.
She ran away!?
"She really is adorable!"
Nameless smiled even more brightly, as if he had the satisfaction of successfully pulling a prank.
"Bastard, you're finished! The gods have already sent the Divine Weapon to completely destroy you and the King of Heroes!"
The Venus Goddess was thoroughly enraged.
I was clearly the one who came first. Whether it was making him confess or making him fall for me, why did things turn out like this?
After saying that, she did not want to stay any longer.
Stay and keep waiting to be humiliated?
Damn it, so much for sisterly affection,
I even thought about helping her.
But now it seemed she did not need my help at all!
