Gilgamesh in DxD - Chapter 138
🕑 Added 2021-11-23 03:04:42 +0000 UTCKur, Sumerian Underworld.
Currently in the Sumerian underworld it was possible to see someone walking.
The Sumerian underworld, Kur, was like a big cave under the earth that extended for several meters or kilometers, there were corridors made of stones that led to it, and it also had cages with blue flames scattered around, but they weren't flames, but souls of the people who lived there.
Who could be seen walking there was its ruler.
Ereshkigal, the Sumerian Goddess of Death and Queen of Kur.
The Goddess of the Underworld has two absurdly beautiful red eyes, which have rounded features and, in addition, you can see a black outline. She has blond hair, which is quite long. Ereshkigal usually wears a considerable amount of accessories on her body, and because of this it is difficult to see all the details present in her clothing and physical constitution. Finally she is wearing a dark crown, and soon afterwards some objects that apparently serve to attach the aforementioned accessory to Ereshkigal. She wears a cape that has alternative colors, these being pink and gold, and, in addition, a skull-shaped utensil is used to attach it to her clothing. She, in fact, remains wearing something very similar to a dress, which has black and gold coloring. On her legs we can see a kind of anklet, which is apparently black with some yellow aspects and reddish jewelry.
It had been some time since Ereshkigal and his sister Ishtar had returned and reported to their father meeting Gilgamesh, the King of the Gods did not even look sad as if he already knew that Gilgamesh would reject his proposal.
Currently Ereshkigal was doing her work in the underworld, while she learned that her sister had already had a party with the jewels.
Ereshkigal can't help but sigh, her brief time on earth was something wonderful that she wanted to continue experiencing, however her happiness faded too soon.
It's not as if Ereshkigal didn't enjoy being Queen of Kur, however she was envious of her sister who could always do whatever she wanted.
When Ereshkigal was getting ready to continue her work she remembered Gilgamesh's gift.
Taking the seed from her pocket she looked at it.
Ereshkigal knew that it would not live, after all anything planted in Kur would die, it was a true land of the dead.
Deciding to do this she dug a small hole where she buried the seed.
Ereshkigal looked for a few seconds and saw that nothing had happened, sighing she decided to get back to work and that she should not trust Gilgamesh's words.
However when she turned around she felt a pulse of energy behind her and when she turned to look she saw that where she had planted the seed a flower had been born.
"Impossible..." whispered Ereshkigal in shock, no plant could live in Kur.
When Gilgamesh created this seed he embedded the power of the [Zenith Tempest] which allowed the user to manipulate all elemental attributes, and that included nature.
However regardless of the plant everything would die when it was in Kur, but Gilgamesh made sure that didn't happen.
He put some of Verethragna's Authority into the Golden Sword, causing Kur's Authority to be nullified and the plant to grow, and he did this at an extremely high rate due to having fed off Gilgamesh's power.
Slowly the pulse of energy spread throughout the underworld causing flowers, trees and plants to grow everywhere.
Slowly the whole Kur turned into a paradise, not a land of the dead, but a place that everyone would like to go to.
Ereshkigal could not believe what was happening.
She had never liked the very dark appearance of Kur, she had tried to change it several times but it always returned to a land of the dead.
But now it was as she wanted it to be, a paradise and not a gloomy land.
Gilgamesh knew this desire of Ereshkigal's and that's why he granted her this seed.
Ereshkigal could only let tears flow from her eyes when she saw the beauty of her home.
She was certainly indebted to Gilgamesh.
And she would thank him when she saw him again.
*With Le Fay.*
Because she was separated from her brother, Le Fay had limited options. She didn't have many people she could trust, and besides, she knew that if she told certain people what happened to Arthur, they might try to take advantage of the situation.
She knew, however, that the Heroic Faction was interested in having Arthur join, and if she could get them on side, then perhaps she could attempt a rescue ... although she would have to find out exactly where they had gone to begin with.
Arriving at the Heroes Faction base, Le Fay stepped forward and tried to enter the building, when a thick mist came before her. The mist was so thick that she could no longer see the building, but she knew who was responsible for it.
"Georg-sama, please let me pass. I would like to speak with Cao Cao-sama."
Le Fay shouted, unable to see Georg at first.
But then, a few seconds later, he emerged from the mist.
A boy in his teens, wearing glasses and wearing a modified school uniform, tilted his glasses toward Le Fay and she could feel the coldness of his gaze burning her.
"Le Fay, where exactly is your Onii-sama? Cao Cao-sama was waiting for an answer."
"That's why I came here. Georg-sama, it's terrible, he was captured by a man who had incredible power. Even Onii-sama couldn't do anything against him."
Georg was captivated by this.
"A power that even your Onii-sama could not fight?"
"Yes, we have to help him! I-I don't know what will happen to Onii-sama! V-could you help? It all started when a witch named Walburga approached us!"
Georg looked confused for a few moments, before slowly exhaling.
"If they were able to defeat your Onii-sama, then they must be powerful."
"And-even so, we must save him!"
"If we put ourselves in danger for one person, then ..."
Le Fay couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Georg was denying her the chance to save her older brother?
"But Cao Cao-sama would certainly help if the circumstances were explained ..."
"While it may be worth the risk, we don't know this opponent. We can't rush blindly to help your Onii-sama if we don't know what kind of opponent we are dealing with. Arthur is a strong man, Cao Cao-sama even said that he is powerful, so if your Onii-sama lost without being able to do much, then we can't do much better, and we can't separate our forces now to provide assistance."
Le Fay didn't know what to say.
Cao Cao was even denying him the chance to help his brother?
Realizing that she would not get any help from the Hero Faction, she turned her neck to the side.
"... I understand, if you won't help me, then I will find someone who will."
Georg crossed his arms.
"And that person is?"
"... I don't know yet, but I'm sure there will be someone who will help me find my Onii-sama. I can't... I can't leave him in their clutches."
