Chapter 324: Goddess Ishtar (2)

—

Ianna, more popularly known as Ishtar, was a Goddess born to Gilgamesh's mother. Ishtar was Gil's half-sister, in that manner, and she was the older one to be precise.

Decades earlier, when Gilgamesh took down the Guardian of the Forest with the help of Enkidu—Ishtar built a huge crush on him the moment she heard the news. In the heat of the moment, she rushed to meet him and proposed to marry him.

Gilgamesh didn't find her suitable to be his Queen, however, so he rejected her flat out. Sadly, he hadn't seen the consequences coming.

Angered by this Demi-God's rejection, Ishtar called upon the Bull of Heaven to battle Gil and Enkidu. The fight was miraculously won by Gilgamesh, however, Enkidu got a heavy blow from the enraged Gods and passed away.

Goddess Ishtar was behind Enkidu's death.

Gilgamesh vowed to never forgive the Gods, and so he became a thorn in their paths. When King Gilgamesh began to take the ruling of Uruk seriously again, he stopped people from praying to the Gods. Some still secretly prayed, but they were punished when found.

The fewer prayers caused the Gods to lose Faith and Divinity, so they began to perish away—initiating what would later be called the End of the Age of Gods.

So, whilst Goddess Ishtar killed King Gilgamesh's only friend, he began to destroy her entire kin. Expectedly, there was long beef between them, going on for decades.

So, it's nobody's surprise that Ishtar reacted this way. "Gilgamesh. Get out of here before I get mad."

Resting her fat ass on her Boat of Heaven, her clothes displaying her body that she wasn't ashamed to show in the slightest, the Goddess of Beauty and Lust looked down on Neji and his group from a few meters up in the sky.

The girls from Chaldea who were beside Neji exclaimed in surprise when the Goddess made an appearance. They had met before.

"It's you...!"

"The girl who saved us from monsters when we came to this world."

"Ah-huh. So she is Goddess Ishtar, that's why she didn't disclose her identity earlier."

Fujimaru, Mash, and Da Vinci spoke after one another—wearing surprised expressions.

Earlier, when they first entered the Singularity, they were attacked by lion-like monsters who threatened to kill them. If not for Ishtar here, they might not have escaped unscratched. The person they were so thankful to though didn't seem to share their enthusiasm, she acted calm though her eyes shone in recognition when she noticed the three of them.

"Surprising." Neji began to speak while looking up at Ishtar, her thick and creamy thighs looking like some sort of appetizer. "You tell me to leave as if you have never trespassed to my castle and come biker me. Thank you for the view, by the way."

Ishtar's eyelids twitched hearing his last words, and as if to stop giving him the view, she lowered her Boat to look at Neji at eye level.

She said as she lowered her flight, "Perhaps because I am the Goddess of Uruk, and I have so many followers there? It's natural for me to visit my domain, and your castle happens to fall under that part."

"As for the bickering?" Neji countered back her smart answer. "Do you not come to me every week and mock me about the current state of Uruk? Also, did you just admit you care for Uruk?"

Ishtar looked annoyed at his words and grumbled a little. "I bicker with you exactly because I don't care about Uruk anymore. I don't care about humans, in general. They have stopped praying to us Gods just because you told them so, and now barely anyone prays to us. At least you lowered your tyranny and didn't kill anybody you found praying."
