Chapter 1232 – Three Gods Deception

　　Wu City.

　　The remnants of the fire pulsed silently in the dead silence, and the cold wind, filled with the smell of blood, rolled over the devastated remains of the ruins, emitting a low whimpering sound.

　　In the remote alleyway, a slight clunking sound rang out, and a delicate figure carefully lifted up a stone slab, and swept her gaze around to confirm that there was no one else nearby before she climbed out of the cellar with her hands propped up on the ground.

　　It was a little girl, not very tall, wearing the traditional dress of Uruk, she turned back to the cellar and shouted softly:

　　”That intruder is gone, you can come out now!”

　　One after another figure crawled out of the cellar.

　　These people, for the most part, were old people, women, and children.

　　When No. 22 went on a killing spree in the city with the [Scepter] and [Holy Grail] in his hands, the men living nearby went to fight him with their divine weapons in hand, hiding them in this cellar in advance.

　　At this point, they were the last survivors in this city.

　　The little girl who was the first to come out was brave enough to walk forward for a while, every street, house, and ruin, all of them were empty, not a single silhouette.

　　”Where’s daddy and uncle?” A child asked in disbelief.

　　The little girl gazed at the wretched battlefield, and the remnants of clothing everywhere, her face a little pale, “It’s the [Holy Grail], the [Holy Grail] took them ……”

　　”Tali!” An old man interrupted the little girl’s words, he looked at the child who was no more than four or five years old, and wordlessly shook his head at the little girl.

　　Looking at those innocent eyes, the little girl closed her mouth in silence.

　　All of them were the aborigines of Wu City, living in this treasure trove for generations, except for the extremely young child, everyone else basically knew the types and numbers of artifacts in this treasure trove, and the [Holy Grail] and the [Scepter] were no exception.

　　It was clear that they had suffered a great battle, yet not even a single corpse or a single drop of blood was left behind, it could only be that the invaders, after killing those men, offered their corpses as sacrifices to the [Holy Grail].

　　”Maybe, there are still some of them who survived.” In the crowd, someone suddenly spoke up.

　　”Yeah, so many artifacts together should be able to kill the invaders, right?”

　　”Let’s go around along the city again, maybe we can find them!”

　　”May the three gods bless them ……”

　　With their last fantasies in mind, the crowd searched the city of Wu along the potholed roads, but they didn’t find half of them.

　　Just when they were all disillusioned, outside the city walls, there were vague noises and cacophonies coming from the city.

　　”There are voices outside the city!”

　　”Still alive! They must still have people alive!”

　　”Hurry! Quickly! Let’s go up to the city wall and take a look!”

　　The crowd’s expressions were overjoyed as they quickly ran up the city wall and froze in place at the same time when they saw the scene in the distance.

　　Under the dim dome of the sky, a white-robed sinister shadow paced down from between the clouds, and in the desert in the distance, dozens of residents of the City of Wu fled frantically as if they were being chased by a demon, cries of alarm and screams of misery echoed between the clouds.

　　The white-robed silhouette indifferently chased behind the many remnants, palm wave, a long spear like a meteor across the sky, instantly smashed down in the crowd of panicked fleeing, a terrifying sweep of divine might, dozens of figures burst open at the same time, turned into a sky of blood rain crumbled in the air.

　　The screams and cries of terror came to an abrupt end.

　　The white-robed goddess standing in the air, her fingertips lightly hooked, and those broken flesh and blood automatically flew to the sky above the lone boat that looked like a crescent moon, converging into the [Holy Grail].

　　Tali and the others who witnessed this scene by the city wall, their faces turned white, their legs couldn’t stop trembling, and their faces were terrified.

　　”They …… they ……” An old man’s eyes rolled over in both directions, nearly fainting on the spot.

　　”That’s not an intruder …… “Tali looked at the sky in a daze, the three converging divine figures, “That’s …… the three gods? ”

　　”The God of Wisdom and the Moon, the God of Love and Beauty, and the God of Flame and Hope …… That really is the Three Gods!”

　　”But, but why would the Three Gods want to kill us? Aren’t they the gods under my king’s command?”

　　”Yeah, weren’t they the beloved of the My King during his lifetime? They also know so many secrets of the Uruk Era, and they know everything about my king …… even have his tokens!”

　　”They have been blessing the wind and rain of Ucheng for a hundred years on behalf of my king, so why do they want to kill us?”

　　”……”

　　The eyes of the survivors of Wu City who were present were filled with shock and disbelief, and these words reached the ears of Lin Qiye, who had just hidden himself in the walls of Wu City, causing his brows to unconsciously furrow.

　　Three gods? The king’s beloved?

　　When he was in Wu City, Lin Qiye had heard the term “Three Gods” from the residents of Wu City, but at the time, he only thought that it was some kind of belief or rhetoric left over from the Uruk era, but he never imagined that the “Three Gods” in their mouths were actually the three guys in the sky. The “three gods” in their mouths were actually the three guys in the sky.

　　The “King” they spoke of was undoubtedly Gilgamesh.

　　Those three gods were Gilgamesh’s inner circle?

　　Are you kidding me?

　　Even though Lin Qiye didn’t know much about the history of the Uruk Kingdom, he clearly knew that Gilgamesh and the Sumerian Gods were absolute enemies, and it could even be said that Gilgamesh’s entire life had been a struggle against the Sumerian Gods, and even after his death, he had hidden the King’s Treasure Trove specifically to prevent the Sumerian Gods from obtaining it.

　　From the words of the people of Wu City, Lin Qiye could roughly deduce that the residents of this Wu City, should have been tricked by the three gods that infiltrated a hundred years ago.

　　Thinking about it carefully, it wasn’t surprising, this Ucheng’s ancestors were the two major forging families of Uruk back then, and had moved into the treasure trove before Gilgamesh’s death, completely isolating themselves from the world for thousands of years.

　　Gilgamesh’s old age and death, the overthrow of the Uruk Kingdom, all these things were unknown to them.

　　After thousands of years of reproduction and development, everything in Uruk back then could only be transformed into ancient cuneiform script, which was carved on top of soft clay tablets.

　　When the three gods descended on the treasury with the tokens stripped from Gilgamesh’s corpse, along with a large number of thousand-year-old secrets, the crowds of Uruk were unable to distinguish their identities at all, and could only remain to be deceived and fooled by them, and as long as the three gods then played a little trick to let the residents of Uruk experience the grace, they would soon offer them up as the gods of salvation.

　　God of Wisdom and the Moon, God of Love and Beauty, God of Flame and Hope …… This name was given, but it is really good at glorifying itself.

　　”The three gods …… betrayed us.” Tali muttered.

　　”You guys, look, that body floating in the air, does it look like the stone statue at the entrance of the city lord s mansion?”

　　”The king …… is my king Gilgamesh!”

　　”My king’s corpse, how come it’s in the hands of the three gods?!”

　　”……” the surviving residents of U City, recognizing Gilgamesh’s appearance, exclaimed.

　　Over the moonlit pool, the mysterious light pouring out from the [Holy Grail] flowed over the surface of Gilgamesh’s corpse.

　　Gilgamesh’s eyes, which were tightly closed, trembled slightly, and after a moment, slowly opened ……
