887 Plan to Save George (8) There Will Be Another Update Soon...
"Master, I'm here."
The Flame Angel said without changing his expression, and he bowed cautiously and respectfully towards Wei Xun. Even though the inner core changed from David to astrologer, Wei Xun's title was more respectful. Yin Yang Die's face became more and more sinister. She just thought how could this person be so shameless and hypocritical? Who knows who he is even after his memory has been restored? How come he still dares to call his eldest brother master?
He didn't even think about it!
But Yin Yang Die's face turned pale, but he remained silent because he noticed that his elder brother did not refute the title of angel. On the contrary, he smiled——
Wei Xun curled his lips. They were all smart people. Wei Xun could tell what the astrologer meant from this title. He came in not as the captain of the second largest brigade in the Western Region to plan the Tower of Babel alone, but instead abandoned his identity and still assisted Wei Xun in the name of the 'Fire Angel' and served as his deputy.
Just assist him.
"very good."
Wei Xun nodded and relaxed slightly as he imprinted the Flame Angel's soul. He did not force cooperation with the Fire Angels and Puppet Masters who were also thrown into the Tower of Babel, as well as the tourist guides who recovered their memories. But since you want to come to him, you can't be half-hearted.
The astrologers had a good grasp. These half-dead Babylonian gods could only be regarded as appetizers offered by him, and the Yin-Yang butterflies could also be killed. What Wei Xun really expected was his wisdom, his ability to divine and the information he brought.
"They are Abu, Nintura, Ninsutu and Ninkasi, all children of Enki."
The astrologer pretended to nod over the heads of the four gods who were lying half-dead on the ground, as if they had raided Enki's lair, and then said succinctly: "There are still four more on top, so it's hard to take them down."
After saying this, the astrologer took a step back and handed the four gods to Wei Xun, who wanted to kill or cut them into pieces as he pleased.
Four more? In other words, the astrologer not only killed four gods, but eight in total! Yin Yang Butterfly couldn't breathe after hearing this, and her heart was on fire. It would have been great if he had killed him, but now it was all the credit of this bird man! Wei Xun was also surprised when he heard this. After all, the number of 'eight gods' was quite deceiving at first sight.
But I fiddled with the gods who fell on the ground with my vampire knife, and I felt that they all had different powers, but none of them had authority or strength, so I understood clearly.
"Are they all Enki's children?"
"They are all his children."
Wei Xun did not kill them immediately, but asked Yin Yang Butterfly and Astrologer to take these four gods and go up to join their other four brothers and sisters. Their group of people's indifferent exchanges and the vicious glances glanced at by Yin Yang Butterfly from time to time made the four gods who fell on the ground gradually restrain the anger and hatred in their eyes, and gradually revealed expressions of anxiety and panic. Especially when the resurrected God of the Abyss ordered his evil servants to drag them roughly to the high platform, the panic became more obvious.
But their voices were taken away by the vicious angels, and now they are unable to speak out, and can only let fear ferment deep in their souls.
"Eight of them are the children of Ning Shen. Nhursag is the goddess of mountains and the mother of gods. She is the fertility goddess of Mesopotamia and one of the seven gods of Sumer. one."
The astrologer has opened up the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth floors. There are no other dangers along the way. He can only see blazing flames. This is the fire he set along the way - borrowing the power of Wei Xun, the god of fire, to cover the Babylonian power. , turning this place into a 'black zone', because the Babylonian divine power is covered, the Babylonian gods will no longer be able to obtain any information from here, and these gods will also be cut off from seeking help from more powerful gods.
It completely became Wei Xun's territory.
There are many advantages to setting fire, but there is only one disadvantage, and that is that the special products of these high platforms, such as the fertile soil and spiders that Wei Xun had searched before, were also burned. The astrologer's family had a big business, so he looked down on it. He also felt that Wei Xun, who had such a big business on the way home, and the entire journey of 30 degrees north latitude to the Tusi King's Tomb, would not care about such a small thing.
In fact, Wei Xun found it a little difficult to breathe when he looked at the blazing fire and various resources scorched by the fire - he actually didn't lack anything, he just had a little bit of a collecting habit. It was as small as King Xiangxiong's crown back then, and as big as the collection of seven fallen angels now. Wei Xun felt panicked if he couldn't just collect some things and walk around.
In order to divert his attention, he listened to the astrologer talk about the background of these eight vegetable gods. The astrologer is like a moving book of myths; there is nothing he does not know. He said that the Mesopotamian civilization was the earliest civilization in the world, starting with the Sumerians. The Sumerians established the earliest cities in the Mesopotamian plains and built temples of various sizes.
The myths that originated on the Mesopotamian plain are collectively called Mesopotamian myths, and one of the most influential myths is the Sumerian myth.
"Babylonian mythology is deeply influenced by Sumerian mythology. The gods in these two myths have many similarities, and many of them just changed their names."
The voices of the astrologer and David were clearly audible, and David's voice was more energetic, like a beating flame. The astrologer's voice is more magnetic and deep, making people's ears itchy. When he tells myths in a calm tone instead of being sinister, it is like the starry sky on the endless grassland on a summer night, with a mysterious atmosphere.
In other words, when he talks about mythology, it is very immersive and emotional, and even the Yin-Yang butterflies who raised their noses and raised their eyes subconsciously listened to him.
"In Sumerian mythology, Enki is the water god of Sumer and the child of the sky god An. But in the Babylonian "Ilish", Enki is the offspring of Apsu and the dragon mother Tiamat."
"Similarly, Enki's wife Nhursag (Ninhersha), also known as Ninhersha, has a prominent position in Sumerian mythology, but in Babylonian mythology, she changed her name and was called Dagalnuna, which means loyal wife. Although she is still the mother of the gods, most of her power was divided by the dragon mother Tiamat."
"..."
Yin Yang Butterfly was most impatient to listen to these. If he were here, he would definitely be impatient to let people talk about the key points. But seeing that the eldest brother was listening with relish, his attention fell on the flame angel. Yin Yang Butterfly also calmed down and listened carefully, encouraging himself to make progress in his heart, and he had to have a common language with the eldest brother.
He was not a fool. The astrologer's words were actually quite straightforward. Soon, Yin Yang Butterfly tasted the core meaning of his words-
Babylonian gods are easy to kill!
And killing one counts as two!
Because most of the gods in this mythology involve the two mythological systems of Sumer and Babylon, and Sumer is the source and Babylon is the extension.
Usually, in a journey, the more gods are included in the mythology, the more powerful they are, because this involves people's cognitive issues. Just like Enlil, the god of earth and air in Sumerian mythology, he is the king of gods and the ruler of all gods in Sumerian mythology, but in Babylonian mythology, Enlil's position as the god king is replaced by Marduk.
And these two mythological systems also have a very close "inheritance" relationship. Enlil in Sumerian mythology and Babylonian mythology is considered to be the same god.
Therefore, in the background of Babylonian mythology, the wind god Enlil is much weaker than in Sumerian mythology, and is much easier to kill. Moreover, killing him is equivalent to killing the ‘Enlil’ in both Sumerian mythology and Babylonian mythology!
Because the gods in these two mythological civilizations overlap too much, if Wei Xun destroys Babylonian mythology, Sumerian mythology will also be severely damaged!
“These eight children were born by Ning Hesha to save Enki.”
Seeing Wei Xun’s understanding expression, the astrologer stopped. At this moment, they walked through a piece of scorched earth and reached the sixth-level platform. This sixth-level platform was not completely covered with flames, and the astrologer actually retained a piece of land. The other four gods were placed here by the astrologer, and they were also half-dead and imprisoned by flames.
This piece of land felt different from the fertile soil that Wei Xun had collected before. The black and red soil exuded a strange and bloody unclean feeling, as if the gods would be infected with it and fall. But strangely, the Babylonian gods placed on the soil did not have any adverse reactions. Some of them were still very energetic and glared at them fiercely. It was not until Wei Xun took out the Crow Medal filled with a strong smell of blood that they turned pale, as if they knew that their death was coming.
"You should know the story of Ning Sha and others."
The astrologer said. To be honest, although his temper was very mild when he was with Wei Xun, he was still too lazy to tell these classic stories that he thought everyone should know. In the mysticism, he said what he said and didn't have to explain anything to the team members unless he wanted to. Everyone would follow his orders.
But now is not the time for him to show off his power as the captain. Pinching his nose and thinking about the way the Half-Life Taoist and Wei Xun get along, the astrologer couldn't help but mock in his heart, "Oh, he talks more than David", while actively introducing a few more words to Wei Xun.
Enji and his daughter committed incest, and also harmed the daughter born by his daughter one after another. When she arrived in Wudu, she was unwilling to accept Enji's pursuit, so she went to Ning Hesha for help.
Ning Hesha was also very dissatisfied with her husband, so she buried his semen underground, and eight kinds of plants grew on the ground. After Enki ate these eight plants, his eight organs were all terminally ill and he would soon die. Because his death would lead to the destruction of the world, after a series of circumstances, Ning Hesha finally returned to Enki's side and gave birth to eight children, each of whom was cured - that is, he took on one of Enki's illnesses.
When the eight children were born, Enki's terminal illness was cured.
"If we kill these eight gods, will Enki's terminal illness return to him?"
As soon as the astrologer finished speaking, the straightforward Yin-Yang Butterfly came up with a simple and crude idea. After hearing this, the astrologer finally suppressed his habitual cold sneer. Can you let you kill the gods like this? It is difficult to really kill the gods completely. If the soul runs away, won't all the previous efforts be wasted? The person who wants to say this is David, and he can spray David so hard that he dare not talk to him for three days! But the astrologer remained silent, because he noticed from the corner of his eye that Wei Xun actually nodded slightly when Yin Yang Butterfly proposed, and he actually agreed with Yin Yang Butterfly's opinion!
At this moment, the astrologer's mood was as gloomy as Yin Yang Butterfly's when he heard that the eight gods were killed, but he had cut out the pessimism after all. He didn't say these things in such an annoying way like???, but quickly stood on Wei Xun's side - since they decided to do it together, of course Wei Xun's opinion would prevail.
"Kill them all."
Wei Xun’s words set the tone. They couldn’t take this bunch of burdens to the Tower of Babel, nor could they let them go. The simplest and most direct way was to kill them all. Soon the three of them became a killing assembly line. The astrologer was responsible for controlling the flame prison to prevent any divine power from escaping. Wei Xun was responsible for slaughtering and taking away their souls after killing the gods. The dirty work was given to Yin Yang Butterfly. He worked hard to dig out the heart of each god and turned it into energy to feed little George.
After taking away the soul of the first god, draining the divine power, and feeding the heart to the little angel, Wei Xun clearly felt the vibration of Apsu’s authority. The pleasure that permeated from the depths of his soul made his eyes narrow slightly. Gods all have omens. He can feel that the death of these gods has indeed had a very bad impact on his mortal enemy Enki.
The enemy is unfortunate, that is my luck.
“Did you encounter a puppet master along the way?”
’Working’ Wei Xun didn’t waste time and asked the astrologer. The compass pointed out that the Flame Angel was in Marduk's temple, and the Puppet Master was on the eighth floor. Logically, the Astrologer went down, and he and Yin Yang Butterfly went up, so they should have met the Puppet Master.
The Astrologer said, "She went straight up, and I didn't stop her."
Up...
Above the eighth floor is the Tower of Babel.
* *
"Father God? Father?"
At the top of the Tower of Babel, Enki's face was gloomy, and he came back to his senses at the call of Marduk. A fluttering sound came from above his head, and it was the damn angels flapping their wings. Being besieged by seven powerful angels who invaded the Tower of Babel was already bad enough for God, and what made Enki extremely unhappy was that his teeth, ribs, jaws, etc. were in a familiar pain again. The pain that penetrated his soul made his divine power stagnate a little.
This feeling... is just like when he was sick and had a terminal illness!
