To be honest, what Wu Ming said made Ereshkigal a little displeased.
What made the underworld give up?
As the Queen of the Great Below, Ereshkigal seems to be of boundless beauty, she holds the authority of the underworld. It can be said that being in the underworld is an invincible existence, but the drawback is also quite obvious, that is, Ereshkigal cannot leave the underworld.
It didn't mean that Ereshkigal didn't want to leave the underworld, she couldn't do anything about it. As the "capstone" offered by the birth of the underworld, Ereshkigal traded the condition of "not leaving the underworld" in exchange for "being in the underworld invincible", because it wasn't Ereshkigal's initiative, so it was like a curse.
Apart from the stone being Gallu's spirit, the underworld is still dark all year round. No matter what, Ereshkigal is a girl, how can she be willing to live here, just for the "responsibility".
But this is not the point, the point is that Ereshkigal and the underworld are closely related. It is no exaggeration to say that the two are in a symbiotic relationship, but Wu Ming said that let her let go of the underworld, what difference does it make? Between letting her die?
In this case, Wu Ming explained.
"Don't be nervous, I won't let things develop to the point where a dignified ruler of the underworld must give up the underworld." Wu Ming didn't want the Gorgons to leave the underworld.
Wu Ming took out the Divine Sword of Salvation from the golden ripple, and flew towards the huge body of the Gorgon that was swallowed up by the black mud.
Was he really just looking for Humbaba? Isn't it to get rid of the Gorgons?
The answer is of course so.
Due to the backlash of Goddess Tiamat's power and the black mud, the whole god became a little abnormal. If you insist on a metaphor that is, the Gorgons have gone from "Avengers" to "Berserkers".
Continuing to let the Gorgons go unchecked would likely lead to accidents, plus the Demon Beast army was also dispatched in full force, seizing this opportunity to annihilate all enemies in one fell swoop was the king's way.
"How long can you suppress the Gorgons?" Wu Ming suddenly asked Ereshkigal.
"Hah?" Ereshkigal didn't react for a while.
"Can you suppress the Gorgons who might be running away due to death threats?"
"Ahem… Dragon Sage, your self-righteous appearance really sucks." Ereshkigal was quite dissatisfied and very rude, she replied.
"Please answer honestly, this is related to the next plan and the situation between you and the underworld." At this time Wu Ming was like a god, his expression was quite serious, and his tone was full of undeniable charm.
Maybe Wu Ming didn't mean it, but only the "strong" could decide everything, he had a way to finish the Gorgon. In this sense, he was a strong man who was even stronger than Ereshkigal.
It was probably Ereshkigal's natural distraction, she didn't find that Wu Ming and her had gradually become an atmosphere of dialogue between superiors and subordinates. She simply decided that Wu Ming had suddenly become much more serious.
Wu Ming's sudden seriousness overwhelmed Ereshkigal a little, just as Ishtar faced Wu Ming, but compared to Ishtar's breathlessness towards Wu Ming, Ereshkigal was a little overwhelmed and more uneasy about Wu Ming.
At this moment Ereshkigal also subconsciously ignored continuing to dress up as the Queen of the Great Below, and directly communicated with Wu Ming with his true voice.
"If… if I suppress it like this, I can suppress it until my divinity completely dissipates…" The innocent girl's voice came out of Spirit Gally's large mouth, a little inconsistent, but nothing. Wu Ming's attention was no longer on this, he paid attention to Ereshkigal's answer.
The first half of the sentence left Wu Ming quite satisfied, but the second half of Ereshkigal's answer left him stunned for a moment.
"As for whether the Gorgon that was threatened with death can be suppressed… I don't know…"
Replied Ereshkigal weakly.
Perhaps due to a lack of confidence, the last few words of Ereshkigal's last sentence sounded low and pitiful, but luckily Wu Ming had good hearing.
However, Wu Ming hoped he had heard wrong.
"What is not clear." Wu Ming frowned.
Ereshkigal's answer was related to the survival of the underworld.
Ambiguous answers like "I don't know" were what made Wu Ming how to attack the Gorgons next.
Wu Ming will pierce the Gorgon's heart with the Divine Sword of Salvation, and use the power of the Root in the Divine Sword of Salvation to kill the Gorgon as a "core".
As a result, the black mud does not have a "core", and they will It is the same as the lamb being slaughtered.
Let Wu Ming currently deal with the black mud, he said that he could do it at his fingertips.
Yet it was all based on the fact that the Gorgons would not break Ereshkigal's oppression of her here because of the death crisis.
Even though Wu Ming could still kill a Gorgon, if a Gorgon that possessed black mud broke through Ereshkigal's suppression of her and allowed the black mud to flow into the underworld, then the result would be quite a troublesome job.
If an unforeseen situation occurs, perhaps Ereshkigal, who is unable to leave the underworld, will become the "core" of the next source of black mud.
Although Wu Ming and Ereshkigal only met twice, but Ereshkigal was not bad, he didn't want Ereshkigal to be his enemy.
Of course, even if the black mud flows into the underworld after the Gorgon breaks through the suppression of Ereshkigal, Wu Ming still has a way to get rid of the black mud, but in that case, the underworld can also be affected.
After all, not much of the underworld followed Ereshkigal back to Mesopotamia. If they were "cleaned" indiscriminately, the underworld that returned with Ereshkigal would be here disappearing, and in that case, Ereshkigal might as well go off stage with the underworld.
Wu Ming didn't want to kill an enemy at the expense of one who might become a friend, what difference would it make to kill a criminal and a hostage together.
If this was the case, Wu Ming might as well let the black mud enter the underworld to erode Ereshkigal, however, the result would be Ereshkigal off stage.
Hence, Wu Ming asked Ereshkigal if he could suppress the Gorgons that might be escaping. He wanted to use that method with the least amount of loss.
After all the Three Goddess Alliance was humanity's enemy, Gilgamesh would probably say something like, "Wouldn't it be a good idea to take this opportunity to destroy the two pillars of the Three Goddess Alliance."
However, since Wu Ming saw that Ereshkigal did have another hidden side, he would not do this.
