Uruk, Chaldea Embassy.
After returning here, Luo Zhen and Mashu took care of their basic needs, then prepared to set out.
Gilgamesh had issued them a pass, allowing Luo Zhen and Mashu to freely enter and leave Uruk and travel to Kusaa City.
Thus, Luo Zhen and Mashu were ready to depart for the Underworld at once.
Anna and Merlin had come along with them.
However, the two of them were unable to accompany them.
"After all, we're Heroic Spirits. We're not humans, let alone living beings. Even if we went to the Underworld, we wouldn't be able to help you. We might even hold you back. You'll have to go on your own this time."
Merlin spoke helplessly, and Fou, perched on his shoulder, cried out twice.
"I'm sorry I can't help you."
Anna spoke as well, her voice filled with apology and guilt.
"Don't worry about it, Miss Anna, Merlin. You've already helped us a great deal."
Mashu hurriedly offered them comfort.
Luo Zhen shrugged as well.
"To be honest, I'm in a bit of a bind this time too." Luo Zhen spoke to Merlin and Anna. "In a place like the Underworld, I don't even know how much of the little power I have left I'll be able to use."
Who could blame him? The Underworld was a place capable of rendering even the gods powerless.
In such a place, even the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit might be unable to help.
What was more, if even Heroic Spirits were subject to the laws of the Underworld, then neither Mashu nor Attila might be able to use their full strength, making it impossible for them to deal with Ereshkigal.
On top of that, Luo Zhen was still recovering. This trip to the Underworld was fraught with danger
