Chapter 1229 – A Glimmer of Life

　　The surging black hair dispersed, and a figure covered in blood fell from the sky.

　　Number 22 smashed down in the yellow sand like a corpse, his bloodshot eyes opened with difficulty, looking at the white-robed woman who stepped out of the black hair holding the [Scepter] in her hand, and in a trance, her figure overlapped with a certain enchanting goddess in his memories.

　　No. 22 seemed to think of something, endless shame overflowed into his chest, and his eyes opened angrily, resentful as if they were going to spit out fire:

　　”God …… God! God again!”

　　”These ****ing gods!”

　　”All of you wait for me …… As long as I don’t die, sooner or later, one day, I will let you know …… what it’s like to be a dog!”

　　No. 22’s curses drowned in the whistling gale, he clenched his teeth, his only remaining five fingers snapped into the sand, dragging his stiff body, like a worm, moving a little bit in the direction away from the battlefield.

　　In the sky, the pink color of the white-robed goddess’s cheeks gradually faded, she licked her bright red lips and turned her head to look at the moonlit lone boat.

　　The old man stood under the dim dome of the sky, his pale hand holding an incandescent fiery heart, slowly pulling it out of Bifetu’s body.

　　Bifetu’s eyes widened angrily, his chest rose and fell twice, and he soon lost his breath, and his body was suspended like a dead fish in front of the Lunar Lone Boat, floating in the wind.

　　”A perfect sacrifice.” The old man held the beating heart and scrutinized it for a long time, sighing with a smile.

　　He threw the heart in his hand, turning it into roiling blood and integrating it into the [Holy Grail].

　　The old man did not stop there, he turned his head towards Bifetu’s corpse, like a finely tuned fisherman, holding a sharp knife in his hand, carefully cutting off every piece of Bifetu’s body that belonged to the Sun God, and throwing it into the [Holy Grail].

　　As the heart as well as the torso of the Sun God was incorporated, the scarlet wine that shook within the walls of the cup rose sharply, nearly overflowing the mouth of the cup, emitting a mesmerizing fragrance.

　　When he had thoroughly dismembered Bifitu, the old man waved his palm, and the mutilated corpse was casually thrown into the desert below like garbage.

　　”Is that enough?” The white-robed goddess asked softly.

　　”It should be about right.” The old man swept his eyes at the wine that filled the [Holy Grail] and held the bottom of the cup, lifting it up.

　　His gaze swept across the world, and the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually faded, replaced by solemnity and solemnity.

　　He stood on top of the crescent moon lone boat and spoke softly:

　　”From today, the glory of Sumer …… will return to the world.”

　　He held the [Holy Grail] in both hands and raised it high above his head, the overflowing wine churning within the walls of the cup.

　　The old man took a deep breath and

　　made his first wish:

　　”Inanna, Goddess of Love and Lust and War, and Jibir, God of Flame, divine power revives!”

　　As the words fell, the white-robed goddess standing in the sky, as well as the red-armored man, the dried-up divine power within their bodies surged once again, and two terrifying auras of the main gods exploded one after another!

　　Inanna closed her beautiful eyes, feeling the long-lost sense of fullness within her body, and let out a long breath.

　　”It’s been a hundred years, finally I’m back ……”

　　Three figures stood in the moonlight, the aura of the gods from the ancient times, after countless years, once again descended into the world.

　　”Inanna, Jibir ……,” Lin Qiye muttered as he stood amidst the wild sand in the distance, looking up at the three figures in the sky.

　　These two names, both of which he had seen in the archives of the Upper Evil Society, belonged to the main gods of Sumerian mythology, and if he wasn’t mistaken, the old man in the center with his feet on a lonely boat of the crescent moon was Moon God Nanna.

　　Moon God Nanna raised the chalice high and was about to say something more when he frowned.

　　”What’s wrong?” Fire God Gibil asked suspiciously.

　　”The consumption of restoring divine power is a bit greater than I expected, and the offering to fulfill that wish is still a hair short of ……,” Nanner spoke in a deep voice.

　　Jibir paused for a moment and spoke, “Fortunately, there is another agent with extraordinary vitality down there, and there is also a group of Uruk relics on the run to the east; kill them, and you should be close.”

　　”Then I’ll go kill the Remnants, and leave that agent to you.” Inanna, the goddess of love and war, said.

　　Gibil turned his head to look in the direction Lin Qiye was in, and his figure transformed into a streak of flame that instantly disappeared in place.

　　Seeing this flame flying straight towards him, Lin Qiye’s heart thumped as his figure transformed into a flash of night and flew rapidly in the opposite direction!

　　After the [Scepter] was taken away, Lin Qiye’s spiritual realm returned once again, but even so, it was impossible for him to shake off a Lord God.

　　Damn it!

　　Why are you just chasing after me and not going after that 22 that isn’t dead yet?

　　Lin Qiye cursed.

　　Of course, he didn’t know that he, who had been baptized with faith and swallowed peaches, was so vigorous in the eyes of these gods that he might not be able to match him even if ten 22s were added together, not to mention just one 22.

　　As the flames streamed by, the distance between the two saw became smaller with the naked eye, feeling the raging heat wave sweeping from behind, Lin Qiye’s heart was anxious and incomparable.

　　The unprecedented shadow of death was rapidly looming over him.

　　Before Gibil’s divine power had been restored, Lin Qiye could fight him back and forth, but now the other party could directly crush him to death with just one finger!

　　In front of a true god, “Klein” was no different from an ordinary person, they were all ants.

　　In the moment of life and death crisis, Lin Qiye’s mind flashed through all of his cards, Soul Bearing, Tian Cong Yun Sword, Summoning Thunder Beasts …… He had a lot of cards, but none of them were able to threaten a Lord God.

　　Suddenly, Lin Qiye looked like he thought of something and fished out a [Star Coin] that emitted a light blue shimmer from his bosom.

　　”The King’s [Star Coin] ……” Lin Qiye’s eyes lit up with a flame of hope.

　　Being able to be on par with the [Scepter], [Holy Grail] and [Sword], the [Star Coin] was bound to possess some sort of extremely powerful ability as well, and with this ability being able to make even the Hero King Gilgamesh of that year fearful, this might be the only way out at the moment!

　　But how to use this thing?

　　The introduction of the [Star Coin] has been erased by man, and Gilgamesh did not mention its use before he fell into chaos. ……

　　The light blue [Star Coin] was between Lin Qiye’s palms, spinning clockwise non-stop for a few moments, and the swaying light and shadow reflected in Lin Qiye’s eyes, causing him to be in a trance.

　　He ghosted this [Star Coin] against the knuckles of his thumb and forefinger and forcefully flexed his fingers!

　　Ding-!

　　A crisp buzzing sound rang out.

　　The light blue [Star Coin], along with the thumb flick, was thrown high into the dim sky.

　　The glossy surface of the coin clearly reflected Lin Qiye’s eyes, and with the flaming streams of light near behind it, it began to rapidly rotate in the air in a counterclockwise fashion!
