Chapter 491: Chapter 491: The Story of a Certain Monster
[The god who created her gave her orders]
[This is the reason for Humbaba's rampage]
[The world vibrated in a dreamlike feeling. It was a nightmare, but also a sweet dream, it felt like everything from the past had returned]
[She had already lost her mind, and was also submerged in the torrent of countless mad spirits. Suddenly, consciousness floated to the surface in the illusion]
[What came into view was the sky]
[In the battlefield stained with blood, she saw several different figures, one of whom was a friend she knew well]
[Completely different from the image she knew]
[But she could be sure at a glance]
[That was undoubtedly——]
"En…ki…du…"
[Almost at the same time as she called out that name, divine power from the root flowed into her body]
[Stimulating her madness and fighting spirit]
[Forcing her to act out the instinct of the monster Humbaba, using fangs and claws to become the fear of humans]
"Don't…!"
[The world was immediately rewritten]
[The girl's consciousness was erased by nearly three thousand "voices" and pushed into the abyss of consciousness. Her consciousness was only filled with those many "voices", and she knew very well who she was seeing]
[Those are enemies, those are traitors]
"No, that's wrong!"
[Those are the hateful enemies who drove us to extinction]
[Those are the terrible enemies who don't allow us to exist]
[Those are the cruel enemies who didn't save us when we were dying]
[Those are the foolish enemies who dream to liberate us]
"En… ki… du… are you all…!"
[It's all his fault]
[It's all his fault]
[It's his fault that none of us can become]
[Cannot become human, cannot help the gods]
[Cannot guard the goddess's courtyard]
[Not even allowed to become a monster]
"Take us——!!"
[Must kill, must kill]
[Master, Goddess, Gods, Humans, World, Forest]
[All of these are expecting it]
[This is a decision, this is a duty]
[Will never acknowledge a mere insignificant human!]
[This is the splendor issued by Enlil, King of the Gods, Humbaba must become the fear of humans]
"Ooooooh——!!"
[Kill him, destroy him, annihilate him]
[Destroy that terrifying human]
[Kill that horrifying "clay doll"]
[Give him meaningless, merciless, even reasonless, only painful disappearance]
[Hatred and killing intent engulf the girl's consciousness like a tide, turning the originally pure and flawless existence into a bloodthirsty and brutal beast]
[Completely degenerating into a tool in the hands of the gods]
[However, just as everything was pushing her towards destruction, the mellow and sweet scent was captured by her sense of smell]
[Intimate, and cannot help but feel attached]
[As if in the arms of a father, or in the womb of a mother, exceptionally peaceful]
[——Ah, that is the scent of beast's blood]
["We" are here]
"I am the Beast Emperor, your gods have abandoned you, now I will give you a new life! If the gods won't save you, I will!"
[An unfamiliar man exuding a pleasant scent]
[Clearly, he was initially an enemy, but now he speaks words of wanting to save. Clearly, he is giving destruction, but the blood flowing into the body feels so reassuring]
[A warm current gradually spreads throughout the body]
[Memories, like treasures, return, and the violent killing intent and emotions return to calmness]
"You… are… who?"
[Finally, the monster only asked this question]
[Then fell into a deep sleep]
[Although consciousness fell into darkness, there was no anxiety or panic. Perhaps, this is what people call liberation]
[If that's the case, then she thinks it's pretty good]
"Is her consciousness still deep inside?"
"Yes, I felt it was strange when she wasn't talking to us earlier. I just checked and found out that she was completely in a runaway state, completely driven by the divinity within her."
Moran's face looked slightly pale.
He had just given Humbaba a lot of blood.
In order not to let Humbaba's specifications drop too much, he didn't hold back at all with his Beast Emperor's blood.
The divine aspect was also taken care of.
From the root, he gave this monster a major blood transfusion, reducing its connection with the Sumerian gods…
"…Thank you."
Enkidu looked at Moran's fatigue.
She felt a little guilty.
Originally, the relationship between herself and Humbaba was a private matter and should not affect such a major event concerning humanity.
However, she still made this mistake.
Too incompetent as a weapon.
"No need to thank me, I'm only doing this because I don't want to fall into the trap set by the gods. It's not worth thanking. If it weren't for your repeated questioning of her, Enkidu, I wouldn't have noticed so quickly. If we had really killed Humbaba, the gods would probably come after us soon."
"…They noticed?"
"Those guys are arrogant and conceited, but they're not fools. They've already begun to notice that you are no longer under the control of the gods, and Gil is taking the lead in deviating from the age of gods… those guys are going to get anxious."
Moran chuckled, very pleased.
Originally, he wasn't sure if Humbaba would stand on the side of humanity, but after this incident, he was very certain.
The abandoned Humbaba will definitely choose humanity.
Unless she still has feelings for the gods who abandoned her once, in which case Moran would have nothing to say.
Moran believes that Humbaba can still distinguish between good and bad.
A friend who saves people, and a master who harms them.
This is not a difficult choice.
"She has always been bound by the gods, neither human nor god, not even qualified to be a monster. Before I transformed into human form, she only had me as a friend…
Humbaba, she is not bad, her soul is very pure and flawless. It's just that she was chosen to become a divine beast that ravages humans.
Even now, she still wears the flower crown I gave her… Why does she still wear it?"
Enkidu couldn't help but murmur.
Gazing at Humbaba sleeping on the ground.
She rarely expressed her thoughts.
On Humbaba's neck, there were flowers that Enkidu had planted in the Cedar Forest. Small light blue flowers.
Enkidu, for this monster with a girlish heart, had twisted the principles of the earth to create a garden for her.
That was before she met Moran.
