Ereshkigal looked down at her own body, then looked up at Ishtar who had rushed over, her face filled with disbelief.

"Huh? What's going on? Why can I leave the Underworld directly?"

As the goddess of the Underworld, she cannot leave the Underworld, but as Ishtar's second face, she can sometimes temporarily appear on earth in Ishtar's body.

But now, without a doubt, she has her own body and can even come to the outside world.

"The constraints have disappeared? The Underworld is still there, but have the constraints that bound Ereshkigal disappeared?" Gilgamesh looked at Bai Mo with a questioning expression. Bai Mo shrugged and repeated the situation of "Ninkigal".

"Your body was created by me using the Asura Way, and it was also briefly possessed by ' Ninkigal '. I reckon all your constraints have been removed by her."

After all, someone of that caliber, even if only temporarily residing there, wouldn't allow such a constraint on their body.

Bai Mo explained the situation, and after listening, Ereshkigal's cheeks turned as red as a boiled crab. She covered her face and said:

"Wait, doesn't that mean that you created my body, so I'm now your daughter?"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent. Ishtar, standing beside her, delivered a swift and merciless punch to Ereshkigal's head, gritting her teeth as she said:

"Damn it, what's the point of having such a vivid imagination? Have you gone insane from being cooped up in the Underworld, you dark woman?"

"Hmm, that makes some sense. Congratulations, Ishtar, now you have another father who can tolerate your whims."

Gilgamesh nodded in deep agreement; he certainly wouldn't let go of such an opportunity to give Ishtar a good thrashing.

You bastard!

Ishtar and Ereshkigal are like sisters, each with their own unique traits. It could be said that Ereshkigal's slip of the tongue has directly brought trouble to Ishtar.

On the other side, Bai Mo tapped Ereshkigal on the head, interrupting the farce. This trip in the Imaginary Number Space could be described as magnificent; let's leave these kinds of jokes for later.

Previously in the Imaginary Number Space, Ninkigal had some basic communication with Bai Mo about her situation, claiming that she came from a universe called "Azure Radiance Galaxy".

It must be said that the spacetime portal created by the system's self-destruction has far too many implications; the few known souls have all ended up in extraordinary places.

The Sun and Moon Elders reside within the Reality Marble the Crimson Moon in a parallel world, while Bai Lubao is in Mesopotamia at the dawn of human civilization. Dark Leiao, however, is the most absurd, residing in a branch of the future, which Ninkigal refers to as the "Azure Radiance Galaxy."

Moreover, he is doing much better than Bai Lubao and the others. Not only has he gained his own body, but he has also raised his strength to a level that even Ninkigal finds difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Bai Mo was not opposed to Ninkigal's cooperation proposal.

In any case, Dark Leiao has already caused far too much trouble. If this guy continues to operate, who knows what earth-shattering feats he might create.

Moreover, as a scattered Primordial Spirit, Bai Mo will eventually have to face him, not only for the sake of responsibility, but also because he must face these powerful figures if he wants to recover.

Although it's unknown what Jingtian thing he did to offend someone like Ninkigal, under the current circumstances, Ninkigal is essentially on the same side as Bai Mo.

But that's all a long way off. With Bai Mo's current strength, Dark Leiao isn't something he should be thinking about. He should focus on the current situation in Uruk.

The attendant led everyone to a council hall, where Bai Mo recounted everything that had happened in the Imaginary Number Space. He assured them that these people were trustworthy, and that Ninkigal was too powerful; even if Enlil and the others knew, it wouldn't make a difference.

"So many things are happening, really. It seems it's not just this planet; certain parts of the future are being affected." Gilgamesh shook his head helplessly, while Bai Mo beside him also looked troubled.

Gilgamesh somewhat relieved; thankfully, he only needed to take care of his Uruk, while Bai Mo had already booked tickets to the "Azure Radiance Galaxy."

"Alright, that's all for later. Let's focus on the present." Bai Mo said, taking out some gleaming fragments. The fragments shone brightly in the castle's firelight, like stars in the sky.

"Me?! Really? There are so many?"

Ishtar was astonished. Back then, in order to devise Me for Uruk, she had made a special trip to Eridu to get Enki drunk and then pack up all his Me and take them away.

Although her moral character wasn't exactly high, the fact that a goddess would commit such fraud speaks volumes about the value of these Me. If a monarch obtained these Me, he could build a powerful empire in just a decade or so, even if he remained idle.

Gilgamesh and said expressionlessly, "I didn't expect there to be so many. Enlil really went all out. It seems that most of the other native gods of Sumer are finished."

"Luckily you managed to get these things back; you can keep them safe."

Hearing this, Bai Mo was somewhat puzzled and said, "You want me to keep it? I'm not some king, you have plenty of space in your warehouse, don't you?"

These things are all closely related to the city, so it seems better for them to be in Gilgamesh's hands.

"Uruk doesn't need these things, and human civilization no longer needs gods."

Gilgamesh ignored this. Seeing this, Bai Mo nodded. The Me was absolutely unique, and it was the safest choice to let Bai Mo keep it. Just as he was taking them back one by one, one of the Me emitted a faint light and floated out the window.

Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow and examined it closely. This Me represented "exploration," which could ensure that a city would continuously produce explorers, navigators, and the like.

"I see. No wonder Enlil was able to accurately project Lahmu into Uruk even while he was in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers. Uruk has coordinates he set up. As long as these coordinates are recorded in the Me, the 'explorers' that are born will continuously head there."

Gilgamesh smiled and praised Bai Mo:

"Well done. With this, at least that situation won't happen again."

Gilgamesh was very satisfied with this achievement. Not only was he free from worries, but he could even reverse-analyze Me "Kingship Me" to deduce the opponent's location in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers. In this way, he could even turn defense into offense.

Meanwhile, Ishtar, standing to the side, said rather irritably:

"How can you still laugh? You don't even realize your own house has been haunted. I told you long ago, that Kingu is definitely suspicious, he should be killed."

Ishtar wasn't so lenient with Kingu, who was trying to drastically alter her. If it weren't for the fact that Bai Mo and Gilgamesh both ignored him, she would have made him realize just how far his imagination paled in comparison to that of the goddess when it came to tormenting people.

Gilgamesh snorted coldly, ignoring Ishtar's rebuke. She might not know Kingu's background, but didn't he know? If there were any problems, Enki would have dealt with them long ago.

On the other side, Bai Mo looked at the faint band of light outside the window and said, "Ishtar, that thing seems to be pointing to your tower."

"Ha?"

The group quickly left the palace. Bai Mo held the Me in his hand, and the light within it was indeed pointing towards Ishtar's tower.

Ishtar instantly felt countless unfriendly gazes fixed on her. If it were Ereshkigal, she would have already crouched down and begun to doubt herself, but Ishtar's mentality was not so easily defeated!

"Very well, Kingu has actually hidden in my temple. Now I have a legitimate reason to attack. Don't interfere; let me punish this stray dog properly."

With that, under the suspicious gazes of the crowd, Ishtar disappeared into her tower without looking back.

Upon entering the tower, she frantically searched everywhere, carelessly kicking aside her clean pearl anklet and tossing her beloved gold and gemstone statues aside like trash.

Yes, this goddess was just spouting complete nonsense with a straight face. Kingu has no power, and this tower is her territory. How could she not know if there are people inside?

Volunteering only buys you time to destroy evidence!

"Not this one, that's strange, which one is it... Ah, I found it!"

Ishtar took out a jet-black gem as deep as a cold pool, from which extremely subtle magical power slowly flowed, merging with the power released by the Me, like a tributary of a river.

"Oh, finally found it?"

Familiar voices came from outside the door. Ishtar turned her head and found everyone standing in the doorway, staring straight at her.

Ereshkigal looked at someone terminally ill and on their deathbed with an expression that suggested they were looking at a person on their deathbed. Bai Mo also covered his eyes, as if he didn't want to see this insulting scene anymore. On the other side Gilgamesh was like a volcano about to erupt, his bulging veins speaking volumes.
