New life

Inside Bai Mo's house, several people sat around a table. Gilgamesh sighed deeply and said, "As Servant, Servants are useless without Command Spell. Maybe we should use the contract to make that guy commit suicide."

"If you're going to kill them, you should bring those unfortunate bastards who followed him back first." Bai Mo shook his hand, turned to look at Arcueid, and then Arcueid smiled and said:

"If you leave me all alone again before you keep your promise, I can't guarantee what I'll do, okay?"

In the firelight, Arcueid's eyes gleamed coldly, like a ravenous beast staring at Bai Mo. It was as if, if she wasn't fed soon, this ravenous beast would devour her.

"Then I'll leave Uruk to you, Ishtar. With your strength, you should be able to hold your ground steadily. Even if trouble arises, as long as you respond promptly, I'll return quickly."

Bai Mo said to Ishtar, "Although Ishtar's strength of 400,000 horses isn't particularly strong, as long as a message can be sent, he can quickly return. It's better not to leave Arcueid aside for now."

Upon hearing this, Ishtar raised an eyebrow, instantly realizing that this was an opportunity.

"Hmm~ Continue guarding Uruk? Sure, but my price won't be cheap." Ishtar sat on Maanna, floating in the air. Luckily, the room Gilgamesh provided was large enough, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to accommodate this enormous vehicle.

"Forget it, Bai Mo, you've already signed a contract with Ereshkigal. Let's just knock this woman unconscious and let Ereshkigal take over this body."

Gilgamesh offered his suggestion in a mocking tone, which made Ishtar's veins bulge.

"Indeed, it would have been better if Gilgamesh had died."

"Heh, it seems the Underworld suits you better Ishtar."

The two were locked in a fierce confrontation, seemingly about to fight at any moment. Bai Mo looked at these two sworn enemies with a headache and said helplessly, "Ishtar, what do you want, a jewel?"

"How could that be? I don't need that kind of thing right now."

Ishtar tossed her long hair and spoke with great flair, while Gilgamesh beside her stared wide-eyed as if looking at something unbelievable. Even Cathy Parug, perched on Bai Mo's shoulder, wore a look of utter astonishment.

"Fu? (Could this be a fake?)"

"Ah, is this thing a fake?" Arcueid pointed at Ishtar, displeased, and said:

"What's wrong? Do you think I'm a miser?"

No one spoke, but their eyes answered.

"Ishtar, although it seems unlikely, you wouldn't be eyeing the Kingship Me, would you?"

Bai Mo's lips twitched slightly as she spoke. Ishtar was instantly struck dumb, then put her hands on her hips and angrily said, "You bastard? You didn't use your power to read my mind, did you!"

"No, it was Ereshkigal who reminded me. She said your eyes were clearly strange when you found out that the Kingship was on my side."

Exposed, Ishtar collapsed weakly onto Maanna. Gilgamesh looked at Ishtar with the gaze one would give to unrecyclable trash and said, "That kind of thing, Bai Mo returned it a long time ago. What an idiot."

To actually set your sights on Kingship just to collect jewels? That's unbelievably stupid! You evil god, you'd better just disappear and let Ereshkigal your place."

"What happened! All my treasured gems are gone! Those were the most precious ones! There's no way to make up for this loss!" Ishtar said, somewhat aggrieved.

"This is truly the first time I've seen someone with 400,000 horsepower of Magnetic Field Power still care about money. Arcueid, thank you for your help." Bai Mo said to Arcueid with a hint of helplessness, then she moved her fingers, and suddenly a mountain of gems appeared on the table.

Ishtar's gaze froze instantly. She stepped off Maanna and approached the mountain of gems before her step by step, her expression like that of an emperor of China looking at the Imperial Seal of the Realm.

"What... what is this? Bai Mo, is this an illusion? If it is, can I indulge in it a little longer?"

"No, once your power reaches 750,000 horsepower, you can manipulate matter at the atomic level, theoretically allowing you to create anything."

Bai Mo's words struck Ishtar like a thunderclap, her breathing became heavy, and as she looked at her hands, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.

Then, she turned her gaze and stared intently at Bai Mo, as if looking at her future.

Her power was difficult to break through, and the only known paths were the stone tablet and Bai Mo. The choice was obvious.

"Ahem, I see. Bai Mo, in that case, I have a suggestion. Compared to that gloomy Ereshkigal is bound to the Underworld, I, as the goddess of Venus, am obviously more suitable as Servant."

How about we sign a contract, and then I'll help you protect Uruk. Servant and Master can communicate directly, isn't that more stable?"

Bai Mo shrugged, completely unconcerned about such matters. Just as he was about to reach out, a smooth, jade-like foot adorned with a gold anklet was offered to him.

Ishtar, seated on Maanna, said, "Since that's the case, you must understand the way the goddess of the Age of Gods made her vows. Kiss my instep..."

But before she could finish speaking, a gleaming chain suddenly appeared behind Bai Mo, locking Ishtar's feet and then swinging her around the room like a yo-yo. In just a few moments, the entire room was practically reduced to ruins.

Bai Mo turned to look at the person who had attacked him. Returning his gaze were a pair of iridescent eyes. Crimson Moon coldly snorted, "Isn't your temper a little too mild? As my companion, I won't allow you to suffer such insults."

A flash of annoyance crossed her eyes as she looked at the unconscious Venus Goddess. She suddenly had an urge to stomp on his leg and break it.

I only asked him to kiss the back of my hand. Does this mere goddess of Earth not even have a shred of ladylike manners?

Thinking this, Crimson Moon snorted coldly. Bai Mo looked at the destroyed houses and said to Gilgamesh, "I'll leave it to her. I'll set up the defenses in Uruk, and then I'll head straight to Eridu."

The sun rose, and Bai Mo disappeared into the sunlight. The sunlight shone on the Daichi and rivers of Mesopotamia. After Bai Mo left, a person wrapped up tightly secretly slipped into Uruk.

He seemed quite weak, and after only a few steps he sat down in a corner, panting. Seeing his condition, a citizen of Uruk handed him some bread.

"You're not doing well. Have something to eat, it's free."

Don't touch me!

The man slapped away the citizen's outstretched hand, but he was too weak and lost his balance, falling to the ground. Seeing this, the citizen assumed he was a pitiful person whose family had been killed by a monster and who couldn't accept reality. He left the bread and turned to leave.

The man's hood fell down, revealing long green hair. If the person who had been there a little longer had known him, they would have recognized him. It was Kingu, who possessed Enkidu's body.

"Damn it, you let me live just to torture me?"

Kingu was breathing rapidly. He stared at the bread on the ground, grabbed it, and took a big bite.

"I can't die. Although I've lost all my power, there's still something I can do for my mother. Now that I've infiltrated, I should gather as much intelligence as possible."
