"I'll go take a look. Gilgamesh, Lawrence, wait for me."
Nanshe felt a little weary, but she still decided to go see what was happening.
For some reason, she had an ominous feeling.
That feeling compelled her to chase after Annanu, who was pursuing Ishtar.
"Hey, Annanu, wait for me!"
Only Gilgamesh and Lawrence remained in the front hall.
Lawrence and Gilgamesh exchanged a glance, then gave each other awkward yet polite smiles.
"Hero King, then I shall take my leave first."
".Mm. I should go rest as well." Gilgamesh felt utterly exhausted. Those three could do whatever they wanted.
Right now, he only wanted to return to his chambers and get some proper sleep.
As for Lawrence—
She still had unfinished work and could not sleep just yet.
Ishtar piloted Maanna at full speed, fleeing with all her might. Lightning crackled around Annanu as he pursued her at full speed, while behind Annanu followed Nanshe, riding upon a current of water.
It reminded Ishtar of the time with the Bull of Heaven.
And she fled even faster.
"Stop running! I'm not going to do anything to you!"
Light gleamed in Annanu's eyes as he shouted while giving chase.
"No! I knew it! You were definitely hiding somewhere, waiting to give me a beating! That really was what you were thinking!"
Ishtar's voice was trembling with tears, and she was shouting at the top of her lungs.
"Tch, you're forcing me to play dirty." Annanu's expression turned cold, a sinister curve rising at the corner of his mouth.
"Enkidu, help me catch her!"
In an instant, they switched places. Golden chains surged from Enkidu's hands and coiled toward Ishtar.
The Chains of Heaven's suppressive power against divinity was displayed in full. In less than a second, Maanna's speed slowed dramatically.
