Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with Conquering a Greek Goddess!-Chapter 405: Better to Avoid Trouble Than to Invite It

[Golden hair shining brilliantly under the moonlight]

[A body pure and graceful, untouched by any filth]

[The divine aura she radiates flows around, embodying both holiness and majesty. Her stunning face exudes a fiery passion, yet is as chilling as a towering iceberg]

[The pure goddess appears before him]

[Different from any other goddess he has encountered before]

[Even now, a goddess like this is an extremely rare existence, like a unique treasure in this world]

[That specialness, that uniqueness]

[Makes it impossible to forget after just one glance; she is so impressively unforgettable]

"Oh? You know my identity? Did Ninsun tell you?

How excessive! Ninsun and I have such a good relationship, yet she didn't let me meet a lovely child like you... I wouldn't do anything bad.

After all, I am such a kind and beautiful goddess.

So, now that you have met me, Ishtar, do you have any complaints about your mother?"

Ishtar said, tossing her golden hair.

At this moment, she appeared in her pure divine form, her hair symbolizing the Sumerian gods.

Her words were filled with the unique arrogance of a deity.

"No, not at all. If my mother decided to do that, it must have been for her own reasons."

Moran replied in a calm tone.

In the past, Ninsun had mentioned Ishtar to him.

[When Ninsun first arrived in Uruk, it was Ishtar who warmly welcomed her. She held a grand feast in her honor and later facilitated the union of Lugalbanda and Ninsun]

[During that time, she and Ninsun were as close as sisters]

[The reason Ishtar facilitated their union was simple: she thought it would be interesting for a human and a god to have a child]

[Because it was interesting, she acted on a whim]

[This is very much in line with Ishtar's style]

[Later, Ninsun and Lugalbanda fell in love and had offspring, leading to the story of the gods judging you]

[Regarding that grand judgment]

[As Ishtar was Ninsun's good sister, she naturally chose to grant you the rights of a divine child]

[She stood on the side supporting Ninsun]

[However, during this process, she also revealed her thoughts]

[The fundamental reason Ishtar supported Ninsun]

[Was still because she found children like you very interesting, and that having you around might be even more fun]

[—The child of a god and a human, this is something Ishtar must play with. If you were to die just like that, what a pity it would be]

[Ninsun glimpsed Ishtar's thoughts]

[Understanding Ishtar's unconscious malice, as well as her capriciousness and arrogance that surpassed all gods]

[Ishtar's love is very special]

[She loves lions but will strip them of their fangs and claws; she loves humans but will push them into the fire with affection]

[In the end, the goddess will say that everything she does is out of love. She wants to see dazzling things, so with a radiant smile, she pushes them into hell]

[This goddess's love is undoubtedly capricious]

[At the same time, it is unreasonable]

[Ninsun had heard of Ishtar's ways but had not felt it specifically before]

[When she noticed Ishtar's interest in her child]

[Ninsun decisively chose to leave Uruk]

[Not only to avoid the gods but also to escape the capricious and unreasonable Ishtar]

[Her desires seem endless]

[After becoming the mistress of heaven, she not only ravaged the revered Ebih Mountains but also led Uruk to conquer all the city-states of Mesopotamia over hundreds of years, becoming the mistress of the earth]

[In the end, she even set her sights on the underworld]

[It has been proven that no one can sail smoothly through life forever, not even gods can escape this theorem]

[Ishtar suffered a painful defeat in the underworld]

[Now, the one appearing before you is she who has given up on contending for the underworld. That past is regarded by Ishtar as a dark history]

[The painful defeat in the underworld, to some extent, taught Ishtar a lesson, making her much more composed]

[However, the malice deep within her has not changed at all]

"How sad... Clearly, Ninsun and I were such good sisters... After having a child, she always avoids me. I'm not a hungry tiger or a wolf. Hmph, could it be that Ninsun sent you to see me~!"

Ishtar said eagerly.

Still self-centered.

"No, I thought of traveling outside on my own. It has nothing to do with my mother."

"Oh? Is that so? I thought Ninsun intended for me to see you... But it doesn't matter."

Ishtar's look of regret flashed for just a moment.

Her bright eyes were fixed on Moran.

The curious gaze was like examining a treasure, indulgent to the point of making one feel at a loss.

"I tell you, compared to your mother's little plot of land, mine is much more interesting. Everything on this land belongs to me, and if I wish, I can show you even more.

Don't be fooled by my appearance. Compared to other gods, I love humans more than any of them."

Ishtar placed one hand on her chest.

Her beautiful face, like flawless white jade, radiated a beauty that seemed to be far removed from the mundane world under the moonlight.

"..."

Moran listened, his mouth twitching.

If it were any other goddess saying this, he might have believed it to some extent.

However, since it was Ishtar speaking, who would believe her? She could do anything.

"Goddess Ishtar, there are many interesting people in this world besides me, right? Please, move on to other places.

I am not worthy of your love."

Moran finished the wine in his cup.

He felt it was time to leave.

Considering Ninsun and Lugalbanda's positions, he did not want to provoke unnecessary conflicts with the gods.

Better to avoid trouble than to invite it.

"Oh? You really know how to speak. But there aren't many half-god, half-human beings like you in this world. At least, not in Mesopotamia. Let alone someone with such a unique personality as you."

Ishtar sat with her legs crossed on the celestial boat, Manna.

The playful colors in her eyes had not faded...
