Dragon of the Root

Chapter 981: Hints to be able to ignore the oppression of the underworld

But two meetings alone can not explain anything. After all, this was only Wu Ming's guess. Even though it's close to the correct answer, a guess is still a guess. Before the truth, he would not make judgments so easily.

At this time Wu Ming stopped thinking about this, and turned his attention to the Gorgons. However the current Gorgon is attractive, but this "interesting" refers to the dangerous aspect.

If you were curious about the Gorgon situation, asking Ereshkigal's side was the most direct and effective way, so Wu Ming spoke directly.

"Ereshkigal, what happened to the Gorgons before I arrived?"

If he wanted to clear the Gorgons, Wu Ming had to know what had happened to the other party to become like this. Otherwise, this black mud will likely flow into the underworld.

At this time, the Gorgons had already had an accident, and Wu Ming didn't want to appear in an accident again.

The huge Gallu Spirit transformed by Ereshkigal stared at Wu Ming. Even though his large skeletal eyes had no eyeballs, Wu Ming could sense that Ereshkigal was indeed staring at him, as if to say "You're welcome".

However Ereshkigal finally told Wu Ming the truth.

"The battle between the Gorgons and Humbaba disturbed Gallu's spirit and affected the calm of the underworld, but due to the suppression of the underworld, the two only fought violently, and they didn't cause much damage to the underworld."

After all, the underworld had divine suppression. Even though Humbaba had no divinity, it was not a "living being" in the sense when merging with Yggdrasil, so it would also be suppressed to some extent.

But both of their body size was there, and it didn't matter if the ability was suppressed, the result was exactly what Ereshkigal had said, and it became a violent battle situation.

"After that, I used the power of the underworld to suppress Humbaba and the Gorgons." Even though the Three Goddess Alliance was a cooperative relationship, the Gorgon broke through Ereshkigal's territory, she didn't attack Ereshkigal, the Gorgon was not punished by the Three Goddess Alliance Agreement.

And Ereshkigal used the power of the underworld to suppress the Gorgon without causing any damage to it. Besides, it was indeed the Gorgons that entered the territory of another goddess, so Ereshkigal didn't break the agreement.

In this contradictory situation where both sides are wrong and both sides are right, in short the Gorgons will be suppressed in the underworld, but Ereshkigal can't hurt the Gorgons in this way.

"But for some reason, the Gorgons are really showing signs of resisting the oppression of the underworld."

Any god would be suppressed after entering the underworld, and Ereshkigal was a god born to manage the underworld. Active suppression by herself is more absolute than the passive suppression of the "inanimate" by the underworld.

From what Ereshkigal said "Gorgons and Humbaba use violence to fight", it can be seen that the suppression of the underworld is indeed effective for the Gorgons.

But the passive suppression of the underworld was working on the Gorgons. But the active and stronger suppression of the Gorgons by Ereshkigal herself met resistance from the Gorgons?

The important thing is that the Three Goddess alliance still exists, where do the Gorgons have the ability to fight?

Hearing what Ereshkigal said, Wu Ming couldn't help but look at the black mud that covered the Gorgons completely.

The only existence that could make the Gorgons revolt against Ereshkigal's power was black mud.

"After that, a lot of black substance emerged from the Gorgon's body. Not to mention completely encasing the Gorgons, it also broke my suppression of the Gorgons, um...

Ereshkigal who said this, felt a little confused, like the feeling that a strong little girl would cry when she faced a difficult problem.

Ereshkigal's momentary breakthrough made Wu Ming glance at Ereshkigal in surprise again.

What's more, this also made Wu Ming feel even more that his previous guess was correct.

But from the skeleton-like face of the gigantic Gallu spirit that Ereshkigal transformed, there was absolutely no feeling of fluctuating.

And Ereshkigal might as well discover that she had failed again, so she quickly adjusted his tone and changed the subject.

"Cough cough The reason I can suppress the Gorgons now is because of the results I got by sacrificing my divinity, but the effect is quite reluctant."

Wu Ming could only be dumbfounded. It turned out that Ereshkigal was forced to suppress the Gorgons at the expense of his own divinity, and Ereshkigal definitely wouldn't last long if she continued to use divinity.

Ereshkigal could see that this black mud wasn't a good thing even if she wasn't smart. If these things are allowed to flow into the underworld, let's not talk about the dangers, just cleaning should leave Ereshkigal troubled for a while.

"The black mud is highly erosive, and 'inanimate objects' are basically unaffected, but 'living things' are likely an exception. If you let this black mud flow into the underworld, be prepared to release it in the underworld."

Wu Ming's "dead" and "alive" here naturally refers to "dead" and "alive" in a broad sense. As a simple example, "dead" is the underworld, and "alive" is Gallu's spirit.

Wu Ming guessed that the black mud from the origin, must also have the ability to ignore the "rules". It was this ability that rendered Ereshkigal's suppression ineffective against the Gorgons.

Although not as good as Wu Ming's ability to ignore the "rules" of the Little Garden world, but only to the extent of ignoring the "rules" of the underworld, the Gorgon swallowed by the black mud is still very likely to do so.

However Ereshkigal was taken aback by Wu Ming's words.

"What?!"

Is this really scary?

But think about it, these things attached to the Gorgon allowed her to easily break through Ereshkigal's suppression of her, and ended up allowing Ereshkigal to be suppressed at the expense of divinity.

Ereshkigal could naturally see that this black mud was different, but she never thought that Wu Ming would say such serious words.

Because of that, Ereshkigal became somewhat dissatisfied.

"What do you mean by that?!"
