After testing the weapon, Mo Li waved his hand and threw Marduk's Axe into the Divine Might Space.
After all, they didn't have a very good way to transport something this big back.
"Let's go, let's get out of here before dark."
Mo Li slowly landed on the ground and addressed the crowd.
The others were still stunned by what he had just witnessed, their minds not yet processing it. They simply nodded subconsciously. Now, Mo Li's words carried more weight than Gilgamesh's.
And so, the group embarked on their journey back.
However, because Merlin was traveling too slowly, they did not emerge from the jungle before nightfall.
For this reason, Anna complained about Merlin's incompetence more than once.
With things having come to this, the group had no choice but to spend the night in the jungle, as it was not easy to travel at night.
After finishing the food brought back by the leopard man, everyone found a place to rest.
Mo Li volunteered to keep watch, as there were still many things he didn't understand, especially about Morgan, which kept lingering in his mind.
"Sigh, I really don't understand her anymore. What's the reason for this?"
Mo Li sighed and added some firewood to the fire, the firelight illuminating his face.
Just then, Mo Li heard footsteps behind him and couldn't help but speak:
"It's still early before your shift ends, why not sleep a little longer? Even goddesses need to rest!"
Mo Li's words stunned the person behind him, followed by a sigh.
"Your intuition is quite sharp, or have you become so sensitive to my presence?"
Ishtar hugged Moli's shoulders from behind, breathing greedily into his face.
Mo Li was startled by her movement, and her body stiffened for a moment before relaxing.
He suddenly remembered that Ishtar and Ereshkigal shared one body, and Ishtar obviously wouldn't do this to him, so it was Ereshkigal in front of him now.
Because of the covenant of the Three Goddesses, Ereshkigal, despite having a physical body, cannot leave the Underworld.
The only way for her to see Mo Li is through Ishtar's body.
"How did you come?"
Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Ai Lei pouted in dissatisfaction, her face showing an angry expression.
But the next moment, Ereshkigal seemed to remember something and said:
"Alright, I'm here to reward you tonight. You've captured another goddess. You're really amazing."
After saying that, Ai Lei reached out her little hand and pinched Mo Li's cheek, and couldn't help but use her strength.
"But for some reason, it's really annoying. Pinch my cheek."
After doing all this, Ai Lei released Mo Li, looking completely satisfied.
"Ah... the unpleasant feeling really has disappeared. It's a wonderful effect. I must write this down: when Mo Li is close to other goddesses, as long as they are physically attacked, their depressed mood will disappear..."
Seeing Ai Lei's serious expression, Mo Li couldn't help but smile wryly. What kind of situation was this?
If Ereshkigal knew what she had done to the goddess in another world, who knows what terrible punishment she would inflict upon herself.
Thinking of this, Mo Li shook her head. She should try to control herself a bit in the future.
Seeing Mo Li shaking his head, Ai Lei thought he was angry, so she quickly sat down next to him.
"Alright, but congratulations anyway. Quetzalcoatl is the strongest in our Three Goddess Alliance. Even against Gorgon, she can still defeat him if she gets serious."
"Is that so? I don't really care about those things, if possible..."
Mo Li was speaking when she suddenly felt dizzy and her vision blurred.
Seeing the unsteady Mo Li, Ai Lei quickly went to him and asked anxiously:
"Wait, you look terrible! What's wrong with you? Can I borrow your forehead?"
Ai Lei pressed her head against Mo Li's forehead and immediately felt it was very hot.
"Ah, it looks really hot. This is the first time I've ever encountered something this hot. Are you alright? You're not human, yet you can still catch a cold and get a fever. The surface of the earth is definitely not clean!"
Mo Li felt completely drained, and her breathing became increasingly heavy.
. ...
This symptom is so strange. I was perfectly fine during the day, and suddenly I'm like this.
What Mo Li didn't notice was that behind him, a faint purple mist enveloped him.
However, this feeling came and went quickly, and Mo Li recovered in no time.
After carefully checking her body and finding nothing abnormal, Mo Li forgot about the matter.
Seeing Ai Lei's worried expression, Mo Li reached out and gently stroked her little head.
"I'm fine. Maybe I'm just a little tired from the fighting during the day."
"Is that so? Did you get enough rest?"
"Hmm... Come to think of it, I haven't had a break since Camelot started!"
Mo Li chuckled softly. Since arriving in this world, apart from the time in Uruk, he seemed to have never rested, and his mind was always on edge.
Ai Lei was surprised to hear that Mo Li had not rested for several months.
"Wait a minute, there's a limit to how much you can get into work. Even heavy labor in the underworld only lasts for three days."
"It's okay, I'm used to it by now!"
Mo Li replied with a smile that it was probably because she was too tired.
"I see. After all, you were suddenly exiled to this world. It must have been very lonely for you."
Ereshkigal could empathize deeply because she had been in the underworld for a long time because she was in the same situation.
Thinking of this, Ai Lei stood up, put one hand on her hip and pointed at Mo Li with the other, saying:
"Alright, I'll keep watch for you. You just rest over there. I'll make sure the area is perfectly secure, and in the name of Irigal, I won't let any enemies get close!"
Chapter 526 The King's Death, Return to the Underworld
"Then it's up to you!"
Mo Li did not refuse Ai Lei's kindness, and lay down on her lap, slowly closing her eyes.
Gazing at Mo Li's sleeping face, Ai Lei unconsciously leaned closer.
With her hands gently patting Mo Li's back, feeling the warmth from her palms, Ai Lei's lips curled into a smile.
The night passed quickly, and when Mo Li woke up again, Ai Lei was nowhere to be found.
It has to be said that last night was a rare night of relaxation for Mo Li, and he was in top form.
The next morning, after a quick packing, the group set off for Uruk.
"Wow, the completely destroyed walls have been fully repaired! The people of Uruk are truly amazing!"
Looking at the restored city walls, Quetzal couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing this, Ishtar nodded in agreement.
"Of course, because the citizens of Uruk are very hardworking, and the perpetually morally challenged children only have that golden glitter on '137'."
“That way we can get the king’s reward,” Anna chimed in.
The gains this time were considerable: a new goddess, the Marduk Axe, and the return of Mori.
These messages were enough to boost the morale of the entire Uruk population, let alone Gilgamesh.
Just as everyone was preparing to enter the city, the gate suddenly opened, and a familiar figure ran out.
"Isn't that... Siduri?"
Judging from her expression, everyone immediately had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, when Siduri ran up to the crowd, she revealed a bombshell.
"No, no, King Gilgamesh... has passed away...!"
Everyone was stunned by the news and remained in shock for a long time.
Mo Li frowned, ignoring the others who were still in shock, and flew directly towards the Divine Tower.
Once they realized what was happening, the crowd didn't care about anything else and followed Mo Li towards the Divine Tower.
Upon entering the tower, Mo Li saw many people preparing for a funeral.
"How is this possible? A magician with clairvoyance and the qualifications of a Grand Master could be assassinated? Could it be King Hassan who was behind it? Impossible!"
Mo Li couldn't understand what had happened while they were gone.
Who could have killed Gilgamesh, who was heavily protected, without anyone noticing?
There are currently two suspects: one is Wang Hassan, and the other is Morgan, who was expelled.
But Mo Li quickly ruled them out; they had no reason to do so, nor would they.
"Senior Mo Li!"
At this moment, Gudako, Mashu, and the others also arrived. Looking at the temple where the funeral was being held, they were extremely shocked, and no one wanted to believe this fact.
"What exactly happened, Siduri?!" 9119
All eyes turned to Siduri, waiting for her explanation.
Siduri gave a wry smile and then explained the whole story.
It turns out that Gilgamesh did not die in an assassination, but rather from overwork and died suddenly on his throne.
"That's how it happened. When I returned, the king was already asleep on his throne forever..."
Upon hearing this reason, Mo Li's lips twitched a few times; this was far too dramatic.
Immediately, Mo Li burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.
"Hahahaha, a dignified and wise prince, actually... actually died from overwork... hahaha..."
"Mash, have you ever heard a joke funnier than this? King Gilgamesh died in the end because of his work, hahahaha, that's just too outrageous!"
Mo Li's loud laughter displeased the nearby soldiers, but they dared not come forward to stop him.
After all, Gilgamesh was a figure greater than the gods in their hearts, and it was inevitable that they would feel angry to be so desecrated by others.
Seeing that the soldiers around her were looking at her more and more strangely, Mashu quickly tugged at Mori's sleeve.
"Senior Mo Li...this isn't quite right..."
Mo Li wiped away the tears that had flowed from the corners of her eyes from laughing, which was truly hard not to chuckle.
“Indeed, Mo Li is right. That’s King Gilgamesh! If he could die from something like this, he would have died countless times over!”
Dr. Roman's voice came through the communicator.
Everyone then realized that, just as Roman had said, things were not as simple as they had imagined.
"Your Excellency Siduri, has anything unusual happened in Uruk since we set off for Ur?"
"An anomaly?" Siduri wiped away her tears and began to recall, "Speaking of which, there have been many reports of people dying from weakness in Uruk, could it be..."
Siduri considered a possibility: Gilgamesh might not have died from overwork, but rather from murder.
"I see, I think I know who the culprit is!"
Mo Li's lips curled up slightly. The only person who could do something like this was probably Ai Lei, who had just enjoyed having her head resting on his lap last night.
However, what Mo Li couldn't understand was why Ereshkigal, who had clearly formed a contract with him and had nothing to do with the Three Goddess Alliance anymore, would suddenly attack Gilgamesh.
Something must have happened during this time, because Mo Li suddenly had a bad feeling.
"I hope it's not what I think...!" Mo Li murmured.
"Senior Mo Li, do you know who the culprit is?"
When Mo Li came to his senses, he saw that everyone had gathered in front of him, staring intently at him.
Especially Siduri, with her big, watery eyes staring straight at him, making it hard to look directly at her.
Mo Li nodded and said in a very calm tone:
