"Cannot form bonds, only loneliness?"

Ereshkigal murmured the sentence, her eyes suddenly widening. "You're leaving?"

"Mhm."

The other party nodded, his handsome face full of apology. "How about I give you some flowers?"

"No, flowers cannot grow in the Underworld!"

Ereshkigal shook her head without hesitation.

The Underworld, the land of death for all things, could not possibly have any living creatures.

"No, you're mistaken. There are flowers in the Underworld, and only one. The most beautiful flower in the world!" Nameless suddenly contradicted her.

"Where?"

Ereshkigal looked surprised.

She was the mistress of the Underworld, so why hadn't she seen it at all?

"Right in front of me."

Nameless smiled. "You are the most beautiful flower in the Underworld!"

"...Hmph, you're talking nonsense again!"

Ereshkigal stomped her foot, her cheeks instantly flushing red.

That scoundrel, always finding ways to tease her, what a terrible person.

She couldn't help but chide him angrily, "If there's a next time, I won't talk to you... you..."

Her words were cut off because the person in front of her had quietly disappeared.

That person, just like when he arrived, had vanished without a trace.

Even using her divine senses, she couldn't find any trace of him.

Passing through your entire world!

"Cannot form bonds... only loneliness..."

Ereshkigal stood frozen in place for a long, long time, murmuring the words.

Finally, she completely understood the meaning of the sentence.

After a long while.

She sat alone on her throne, gazing at the empty Underworld, and sighed softly.

"I could have endured the darkness, if I had never seen the light... Why did you make me see the light?"

Feared by all, disliked by all gods, the mistress of the Underworld was once again alone in the lifeless Underworld.

But this time, she was lonelier than before.

Just then, A violent roar echoed from above, and a large hole suddenly appeared.

Ishtar's voice came from above. "Ereshkigal, did that bastard come to see you?"

"He's already gone," Ereshkigal replied calmly.

"Ahhh, that bastard! I have to settle the score with him! How dare he call me a monkey? I must find him!"

Ishtar's furious roar echoed throughout the Underworld.

The scene froze.

Lines of text popped up on the screen--

[Decades later, Ereshkigal joined the Three Goddess Alliance, deciding to protect humanity in her own way...]

[This side story ends!]

[To find out what happens next, watch the next video!]

The screen slowly dimmed.

"Mere gods, trying to descend into reality?"

Wei Gong said with disdain.

"My lord, the Age of Gods has long since perished!"

The entire world repels the descent of all gods.

No matter how extraordinary your methods, you cannot descend into this era.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Wei Gong's gaze suddenly shifted to a spot three seats away.

On that young lady Rin, how could there be a familiar--

Divine aura?

"How is this possible!!!"

The Age of Gods ended long ago, and humanity rules the entire world.

Alaya, as the collective consciousness of humanity, has completely sealed off all channels for gods to descend!

However.

From the Tohsaka Rin next door, an extremely clear divine aura emerged!

That familiar divine scent, it's impossible to forget.

This means a god has possessed Miss Rin and descended directly into her body!

Wei Gong wore a faint smile on his face, while internally cursing profusely.

Logically speaking, the Age of Gods has completely vanished now, and even possession shouldn't be possible.

Eliminating all impossibilities, whatever remains, no matter how incredible, must be the truth.

Therefore, there is only one truth—

Alaya is behind this!

Only that damn black-hearted capitalist would torment him in such creative ways.

Damn it, Alaya!

I work 007 for you, protecting human history, why can't I even get a moment of rest?

Even capitalists would weep and beg for advice!

So, which god is it?

As far as Wei Gong knew, the only divine pair capable of possessing Miss Rin were those two sisters.

One is Ishtar, who governs divine duties such as [Beauty] and [War] in the Sumerian world.

The other is Ereshkigal, the mistress of the Underworld, who governs the Underworld and death.

Both are Sovereign-class gods, and they are very different from other gods, not truly hostile or hateful towards humans.

This allowed them to continue existing in the human world after Wei Gong severed the Human-God Connection.

When the gods previously sent the Bull of Heaven to descend and destroy humanity, Ishtar even tried to plead for humanity.

In the end, she even tried to negotiate with Wei Gong and Golden Flash, asking them to bow their heads, seek forgiveness from the gods, and continue to live on.

Unfortunately, if humans want to live as "humans," they must break free from the enslavement of the gods.

Those who live on their knees are not humans, but a herd of livestock being penned!

Therefore, Wei Gong had already decided on a plan to sacrifice himself from the beginning.

Before, as a Master, he repeatedly used the Great Hero like fireworks; this time, he would use himself as fireworks!

Facts have proven that when a person becomes ruthless, they won't even spare themselves!

It's just that Little En was implicated, which made him feel very guilty.

So, who is it this time?

Not far away, "Tohsaka Rin" felt like she had woken from a dream, lost and dazed, unsure of where she was.

Wei Gong maintained his composure, doing his best to conceal all his aura.

If he hadn't been worried about attracting attention by taking leave, he would have skipped class long ago.

After class ended, he left the classroom immediately.

He decisively chose to skip the next class.

Let those Heroic Spirits deal with the descent of a god into reality.

Now he is just an ordinary high school student; no one can disturb his peaceful life.

However.

Hiding on the rooftop, Wei Gong once again clearly smelled that divine scent.

She's here, she's here, she's coming with a scent!

Wei Gong directly took out his phone and made a call: "Aya, come to the rooftop of Building Six."

"Hey, hey, why are you suddenly asking me to go to where Brother Cheng had his fight?"

Luo Ya was a little confused.

The rooftop is considered one of the sacred places for couples to date.

Due to some accidents that happened there, ordinary people really can't get onto the rooftop.

She said with a smile, "Don't tell me you want to do something improper to me at school?"

"I need to borrow your body, hurry up and come!" the other party replied.

???

A bunch of question marks popped up over Luo Ya's head.

What the hell?

What's gotten into this guy, how did he suddenly evolve from a pure-hearted virgin to an ultimate veteran driver?

What do I do?

I'm not even remotely prepared, am I really going to be *** by that shut-in at school like this?

No, I absolutely have to refuse firmly and make him wait a few more years!

On the rooftop.

After Wei Gong finished his call, he leaned on the railing, turned his head, and asked with feigned casualness, "Miss Rin, why did you suddenly come here?"

"You seem to be avoiding me?"

Tohsaka Rin

No, she should be called—

[Ishtar]

The Heavenly Realm had long been severed from the human world by Nameless, and even she couldn't descend to the human world freely.

But after the primal mother Tiamat awakened, she, as her beloved child, completely regained her freedom.

An even stranger scene unfolded.

An inexplicable passage opened for her.

This passage was the vessel she had summoned back from the future, granting her the qualification to directly reach the future.
