Chapter 283
A strange circle of light that almost occupies the entire sky.
She felt a long-lost strong threat from that thing, and an inexplicable burning sensation.
"What? Some astronomical phenomenon? No, now is not the time to talk about this."
Tatsumaki's delicate brows furrowed.
The sudden changes in the position of space, the different components of the air, the weird things in the sky, and this inexplicably depressing abnormal environment are not suitable for modern people to survive, and it seems difficult to even break the speed of sound.
Is she still on earth now?
The second-ranked S-class hero had deep doubts in his heart, but he didn't feel any panic.
Because she has absolute confidence in her own strength, whether it is a meteorite falling or a dragon-level monster attacking, she can easily solve it alone without anyone's help.
It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will definitely be like this in the future.
So first, let’s start collecting the necessary information.
Tatsumaki, who was still holding the milk tea straw in her mouth, glanced at the dense forest below. After looking around for a while, the wide view from high altitude allowed her to easily discover that there happened to be a human settlement roughly thirteen kilometers away to the northeast. Traces of the building complex.
"...Let's go there and have a look."
After hesitating for a while, the tornado finally started to move and fly, and at the same time, it continued to slowly lower its height.
Because at this time, she has discovered that the air here contains more proportions of unknown energy than on the earth.
Although this has improved the recovery efficiency of her superpower and slightly increased its strength, it also brings more limitations.
Limits on the extent of environmental damage.
"Leopard Man Attack!"
The loud noise coming from below interrupted Tatsumaki's thoughts.
And when she had descended to an altitude of 100 meters and looked down, she found a suspicious person wearing a tiger puppet suit and holding a funny tiger-pawed staff, abruptly rising from the ground in the dense forest. , jumped up directly with pure physical fitness, and was wrapped in some high-density golden energy, and had already rushed into her eyes.
next moment.
The staff that condensed the divinity suddenly collided with the invisible barrier of telekinesis.
"boom----!"
The huge muffled sound frightened the monsters hiding in the dense forest, and the spreading air waves pushed down the lush tree crown branches and leaves.
The level of a dragon-level monster.
The tornado, which instantly judged this point, stopped flying and looked down at the strange guy below who was falling back at a high speed due to the reaction force, but lost all its kinetic energy in the middle and landed steadily on a rubber tree.
Looking at the puppet costumes that were full of modern style, as if they were handing out flyers in an amusement park, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned and said in surprise.
"tiger?"
"It's the Leopard Man, you bastard!"
The leopard man jumped angrily on the rubber tree canopy. There was no trace of murderous aura or fear in his body.
But her short orange-yellow hair like a lion's temples and her golden-orange eyes full of wild instinct hinted to her enemy that she was not as clumsy and funny as she seemed.
"A strange creature, with more wild aura than intelligence. It doesn't look like a human... and it looks a bit like an idiot." Tatsumaki said with a venomous snort.
"I'm not a hippopotamus!"
The leopard man started jumping up and down angrily again.
"I don't understand, why do people always like to use 'hippopotamus' as a metaphor for me? Obviously I am the embodiment of the jungle, the embodiment of the great warriors - the Leopard Man!"
She lifted up the Q-shaped tiger fangs on her tiger hood and growled threateningly.
"If you are not afraid of being torn apart by my fangs, then let your horse come over here!"
"......baffling."
Tatsumaki, who didn't want to see the other party playing tricks, tilted his head and said in a calm voice.
"Although I'm not sure whether you are a weirdo or a terrorist, it is true that you attacked me inexplicably. So, give me an explanation that I can accept, so that I may be able to attack you later."
From being completely buried in the ground, to being able to still show your head outside.
She added in her mind.
"Arrogant, such an arrogant guy, don't underestimate the gods!"
The leopard man howled and screamed wildly, and the staff and sticks condensed with terrifying magic power in his hands spun around to form afterimages, but they did not make any sound.
"Mortal envoy sent by Gilgamesh, you are not welcome in the city of Ur or in the dense forest. You and your shameful little chest are stubborn and holding a cup. The leopard people also hate you. So, retreat quickly. ..."
Rumble————! ! !
Before he finished speaking, a strong earthquake shook the dense forest land within a ten-mile radius, and then thousands of huge rocks and towering trees broke away from the surface and were suspended a hundred meters in the air, all emitting a faint green light.
Acting as a "sandbag", it automatically targets the target of the arrogant words.
Covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
"Who are you saying is embarrassing small breasts?"
His delicate and childish face turned completely dark. After meeting that hedgehog-headed bastard, Tatsumaki once again felt the emotion of being about to burst with anger for the first time in a long time.
The flat airport is slightly undulating.
Looking down at the suspicious person who claimed to be a god below, the trembling Tatsumaki, who was the second S-class member of the Hero Association, the strongest superpower, and was praised as the most powerful weapon, twitched the corner of his mouth with a smile.
He chuckled sweetly.
"Kill you."
Chapter 292: The underworld where the living stop
Sumerian god of the underworld.
According to legend, he is a terrifying ruler of the underworld who can freely control a cage that looks like a gun, sometimes piercing enemies, sometimes imprisoning souls, and sometimes raining down lightning.
But in fact, she was just a beautiful but sad lonely goddess who had been in charge of the underworld since her birth. She did not know what the surface and freedom were, and she disappeared with the age of the gods.
The dead underworld is too far away from the living world. There are about 11 kilometers of rock formations in between, which directly cuts off any sunlight and the possibility of flowers growing and blooming from the beginning.
This is where the living stop and the dead rest.
But today, the underworld welcomed visitors from the living from another world.
"...It seems like I just came out of the independent world, right?"
I looked around at the surrounding environment. It was a barren land of black soil, filled with ugly holes made of broken rocks, and countless rotten gun sills that seemed to imprison the soul flame, shaped like birdcages, and wrapped with iron chains.
The "sky" is dark red, and there are some sparse dead grass between the rocks on the ground in the distance.
A lifeless and cold depressing world.
Sa——
The breeze from the underworld is blowing, enough to freeze the souls of ordinary people.
Gafan, who was not affected at all, took out the slime bun and took a bite of it with an expressionless face, calming down his shock.
"Are you wearing it again?"
He glanced at the virtual panel speechlessly.
Current world: Absolute Warcraft Front.
"Well, okay, although there are constant accidents, life has to go on, but... where is this?"
Chewing the steamed bun calmly in his mouth, Gafan's perception magic had spread to a range of 10,000 meters, and then he discovered that on this desolate and silent land, in addition to rocks and gun sills, there were also some strange figures wearing rags and gray robes. figure.
"They don't even look like humans. They look a bit like the ghosts wandering around Chiba City... Is this the underworld of Mesopotamia?"
After thinking about it, Gafan came to a conclusion.
"Wow, Gafan, you are so calm." The white dumpling on the shoulder said in surprise.
"Please, System, don't you think about how many times we have passively traveled through time?" Gafan said nonchalantly, "And we have just been to a similar Hades in the last world, so we really can't be shocked."
"Life, living beings, living beings... Why are there living beings in the underworld?"
At this time, the Galula spirits who were wandering aimlessly finally noticed that there was a being in their kingdom of death who did not belong here.
Their movements all paused, and then they all staggered towards Gafan's position in unison, raising their mummy-like hands, their empty eyes full of anger and malice towards the living.
"What's going on?" Gafan was confused as he was surrounded by people.
Did he do something nasty... Oh, I remembered.
The figure who was about to be thrown into the ring and kicked disappeared instantly, leaning casually on an empty gun sill three kilometers away.
"It seems that the wandering souls in the underworld will feel unspeakable anger towards the living people who accidentally enter this place."
Gafan, who was already invisible, calmly continued to eat slime buns.
"According to this concept, it's really me who's wrong...well, I'd better find a way to go out directly."
He glanced at the "dark red sky" above.
According to the setting of the original work, the human world and the underworld in the Age of Gods were both on the earth, but one side was on the surface and the other side was in the dark underground, separated by a layer of deep rocks.
This is a little difficult to position... Then just open the other end of the boundary gate 100,000 meters directly above.
At this point, Gafan was about to raise his hand to open a space crack and open the cross-border door, but the female voice coming from behind stopped him.
"The rude human beings who mistakenly entered the kingdom of death and exposed their bodies and souls to the winds of the underworld without taking protective measures, don't they want to live?"
The harsh tone was mixed with unnoticeable worry.
Gafan looked back in surprise, and then looked through the gap in the gun sill cage and saw a beautiful girl sitting on a strange red gold spear that looked like falling thunder.
The other party has beautiful golden double ponytail hair, wears a large and exquisite obsidian-like crown, wears a luxurious black dress and a crimson coat on his upper body, and wears long and short combat boots on his slender legs.
With his legs crossed and his arms folded, his stunning jewel-red eyes were full of undisguised dissatisfaction.
It seemed that he was blaming the human being in front of him for not taking his own life seriously.
"...Ereshkigal?"
"Rude human being, who allows you to call the gods by their names? Be careful I don't let you out of the underworld!"
Ailei was not surprised when her identity was recognized. After all, she was the great goddess of the underworld. However, she was displeased that the other party spoke her full name in a tone that was not respectful without her permission. He still frowned a little angrily.
"If it weren't for the fact that you didn't attack the Galula spirits just now, I would have beaten you now. It hurts me to hit you!"
She threatened fiercely.
But the expressionless Gafan noticed the gaze of the girl in front of him, and seemed to glance at the slime bun in his mouth subconsciously from time to time.
"...Want to eat?"
"Huh?! Stop joking, how could I eat mortal food!"
Jumping off Methlamthea and landing gently on the barren ground that was even more devoid of life than the desert, the 1.59-meter tall Ai Lei took a few steps forward angrily and was about to reprimand the other party——
However, he found that he, who was 1.59 meters tall, seemed a bit lacking in majesty when looking up at the opponent who was 1.85 meters tall.
Then Gafan silently glanced at the slowly rising earth and rocks at the opponent's feet, and decided in his heart that it would be better to pretend that he didn't see it.
And Ai Lei, who had successfully "increased" to two meters in height, looked down at the mortal in front of her menacingly, and said fiercely: "Human, I feel that you lack respect for me, be careful of me punishing you!"
"Want to eat?" Gafan, whose mouth was full of bean paste filling and white noodles, handed over a steaming slime bun and asked again flatly.
"...But if you insist on offering a tribute anyway, the kind-hearted goddess of the underworld will not be able to accept it kindly."
Ailei took the slime bun with a dissatisfied and angry look and took a bite. Just when she was about to scold the other party with bad taste, the sweetness coming from her taste buds made her subconsciously reveal it. A beautiful smile.
"M-this, this tastes good!"
The goddess of the underworld couldn't help but look intoxicated, but soon realized that she seemed to be a little lost, so she quickly turned her head to the side with a red face, and coughed twice on purpose.
"Ahem, ahem, human being, the tribute you gave is barely adequate. It's not like I can't praise you."
"nice! You love it."
Chewing the steamed bun in his mouth, Gafan replied vaguely: "I have many other delicacies here. If you want to eat, just tell me."
"Hmm, really?"
Ai Lei showed a surprised expression.
Then the smile froze.
