In the beginning, it was the plague of death spread by the Pale Rider.
Then there was the shadow of death from Hassan of the Fathomless Rift.
The two followers used themselves as the base to build the cornerstone of death, laying a solid foundation for Ereshkigal, allowing her to directly reproduce the underworld in Snowfield.
Therefore, even when facing Ishtar, who built the temple, Ereshkigal was not inferior.
Originally enough to completely wipe out the divine punishment of Snowfield.
Now, she blocked it all.
"Hehe, I won't let you act recklessly. No matter what, I was entrusted by others to guard this city…"
Ereshkigal said lightly.
Earlier, when the citizens were dragged into the barrier by the haze of death, she guarded the souls of the people.
And when the Pale Rider was about to disappear.
Ereshkigal also saw Tsubaki and it, and at that time she knew the Pale Rider's wish.
That is to protect this little girl.
Having received a request from a "colleague" with a similar position to her, Ereshkigal accepted it.
She has always been very tolerant of souls.
Not to mention that Ishtar now wants to dominate humans.
Although it is natural for gods to dominate humans.
However, Ereshkigal could not accept being dominated by Ishtar, the scene must be extremely bad.
Moreover, she does not deny that she has prejudice.
"Ereshkigal…!"
Ishtar gritted her silver teeth and was very hateful.
Currently, the Sumerian Age of Gods has ended, and the former underworld has also disappeared with the Age of Gods.
In other words, Ereshkigal has no precepts.
But there is still the divinity of the mistress of the underworld.
Facing the goddess of the underworld who can shoot unscrupulously, Ishtar is extremely disadvantaged in terms of strength and compatibility.
Suddenly, at this critical moment.
Ishtar turned her head to look at the temple, something was shaking her foundation.
When she wanted to ride Maanna to rush over.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Ishtar Temple, in front.
Time was turned forward a little, when Ishtar was condensing the golden star brilliance in the sky and was about to destroy Snowfield.
Moran happened to walk to the temple.
On the way, facing Haruri who stopped him to ask questions, he still showed a calm attitude.
"Haruri, your real wish is not to subvert the magical world, but to make the magi who persecuted you feel the same degree of pain, right? And this is the revenge you really expect."
"…So what?"
Haruri didn't want to answer.
However, feeling the majesty from Moran and the special aura beyond the world.
She opened her mouth unconsciously.
In the past, she had always heard others deny herself, saying that such revenge was too naive and unrealistic.
However, the man in front of her.
He did not say anything to make her give up revenge, but explained revenge itself from her perspective.
"…Why…do you say that…?"
"Well…it's just that I've seen too much. I've also seen people who take revenge just to pursue that sense of emptiness in the end.
So, I won't deny your revenge. The rights and wrongs of revenge depend on the feelings of the person involved. No one has the right to criticize revenge itself. This is beyond doubt for the living. "
Moran seemed to pry open the door wrapped in chains.
Let Haruri fall into silence.
An undeniable sense of identity surged in her heart, as if she had heard what she had always wanted to hear.
No one had ever said these words to her.
"However, girl…it's not enough to just know these things, you also need to know. There is no such thing as justified revenge in this world. We have no right to justified revenge, nor do we have the right not to take revenge."
"Who…are you…why are you telling me this?"
"Hehe, didn't I say that I'm just an old acquaintance of your goddess in the past? You can treat it as an adult's rambling. I'm here this time just to take on her anger."
Moran continued to play the riddle man.
There was no way, he couldn't directly tell Haruri that he and Ishtar broke up back then, right?
Since she was the priest chosen by Ishtar.
Moran was also a little interested.
He can probably understand now why Haruri can get along with Ishtar, and why she is valued by the other party.
The core of the problem is still "revenge".
Thinking of this, Moran couldn't help but sigh.
Although he felt a little sorry for Ishtar.
However, this time he plans to deal with the problem in his own way and try his best to get a satisfactory answer.
"Have you ever…been like me before…Although I'm a little sorry, I don't think there's anything wrong with what I'm doing now."
Haruri still firmly believes in the idea of revenge.
However, because of Moran's words.
She has broadened her horizons a lot.
Moran just smiled slightly at this: "It's okay. Everyone has moments when they desire revenge, and I'm no exception…All we can do is bet all our self-esteem to measure everything.
After all, no one can stop revenge except ourselves…Don't you think so? "
As he spoke, he inadvertently thought of Alcides.
He shook his head and smiled.
This is the reason why Moran never denied Alcides' revenge.
Judging from the persecution Alcides has suffered, he is fully qualified to take revenge on the gods.
And he himself does not think that his revenge is justified.
Atalanta and others who rose up to stop him.
Rather than saying that they were trying to stop Alcides from taking revenge, it was more like they were trying to prevent the fire of revenge from spreading to the world.
When faced with this kind of selfish grudge.
Naturally, it is time for the Argo heroes to take action.
