Chapter 440 The goddess with vicious possessiveness
Astarte did not mention her by name, but Eros understood all she meant.
Even if he doesn't think of it at the moment, Metis, the built-in brain, will quickly complete it for Eros.
Her so-called mother and father are the origins of Mesopotamian mythology, Tiamat, the mother of salt water, and Absu, the god of fresh water.
These two are the creators of the Mesopotamian world and the origin of mythology, similar to the primitive gods of Greece.
It's just different from Zeus who has an absolute iron fist and can suppress Gaia.
Ang, the king of the gods in Mesopotamia and known as the Sky God, was even more weak.
He divided himself into Enki, who represents wisdom, and Enlil, who represents power.
Then, various worlds derived from Mesopotamia cast their own incarnations, such as Canaan's supreme god Eiyl.
Although his power has not diminished, the character of the King of Gods is still weak, and he has never had a real record of taking action.
Even those who once exiled Tiamat and Absu were his two incarnations and the entire Mesopotamian gods.
This did not surprise Eros, after all, he had heard of these myths and legends before.
It's just that he has some doubts. According to legend, Tiamat's final outcome should be death.
Marduk, the third god-king, used the storm to tear apart the Saltwater Mother who had transformed into a dragon and snake body, and re-created the world with the mother goddess's corpse.
Such legends are very normal. Almost every new god king will re-create the world in his own new way.
It's just that Eros doesn't know what period Mesopotamia is in. Has the legend of Marduk killing the Salt Water Mother not happened yet?
Not many legends circulated in Mesopotamia, and Eros didn't know what happened before Marduk came to power.
But since that's the case now, that's it.
"So, the reason why you don't compete for this position is because of this?"
The world of Canaan is the most peripheral one among the several worlds that originated from the entire Mesopotamia.
Like a fortress on the border, it undertakes the arduous task of resisting foreign enemies.
Except for the gods who were born in Canaan and would leave only as a last resort, outsiders who basically knew the inside story would not be willing to do this kind of task.
The vacant position of God King Baal Hadad that was thrown out was just a bait.
Countless gods who were in trouble and had nowhere to return came to Canaan for such a position, and then became the nourishment of this world.
Even if there was an accident, and a fierce man really overturned the god born in Canaan, he would have to fight for the world and his own authority as a god king.
Help Mesopotamia resist the creation god who may return from Chaos at any time.
This strategy is a very upright conspiracy, and it's not really a trap at all.
After all, rights and obligations are relative. This is nothing to the local gods of Canaan, and it is no problem to refugees from other worlds.
But for the mistress of heaven with excellent birth and high status, the goddess Inanna of Mesopotamia, now Astarte.
This position is just a pitfall. It is just the position of the God King in a small world. It may not be as powerful as the King of Gods if it is far away from Canaan.
If it were replaced by the position of God-King of Mesopotamia, she would definitely be happy to do it.
"So there is nothing good about this kind of position. Be good, my little pearl. We will return to Mesopotamia after a while."
"I will get you a good priesthood then. Isn't it better to be the main god in Mesopotamia than to be the god king here?"
Clam, why would I rather be a dog in the capital than a border person?
This situation seems a bit familiar. But going to Mesopotamia was naturally impossible for Eros.
His goal was only Canaan. If he followed Astarte to Mesopotamia, he didn't know if he could go back.
But now, it seems that there is no room for Eros to refuse this matter. Astarte, who is quite self-centered, does not discuss it with Eros at all.
"I don't think this is good."
"What's wrong?"
Astarte laughed indifferently.
She was just making a decision and then said this to Eros.
At the same time, her hidden ambition was also ignited by Eros's words just now.
Maybe when she returns to Mesopotamia, she can really try to do something she hasn't done before.
This person in the position of God King is too weak, and maybe it's time for some changes.
It's just that this idea is hidden in Astarte's heart. After all, it's just an idea now, and it's still far from being realized.
Now, she still has to accept her unexpected blessing, a male companion who can match her beauty and status.
A look full of aggression and possessiveness appeared in Astarte's eyes, without concealing the slightest bit of malice in them.
After all, she is not a kind goddess, and naturally has a very tough and bad attitude towards her belongings.
The fact that I was able to maintain a superficial kindness to Eros just now was all due to Eros's layers of charm buffs.
This was troublesome. Eros didn't react on the surface, but he was already complaining to Metis in his mind.
Look at your bad idea, now you've got yourself into trouble.
Metis was also quite dissatisfied with Eros' blame-shifting. She believed that this was also the reason why Eros insisted on finding a goddess to cooperate with.
Otherwise, on the way here, any weak god can control the other party to start taking action.
Now that Astarte has been found, although the opponent is stronger, it is more suitable as a shield on the surface.
But the other party knows more, has a worse personality, and is harder to control.
Although she is not very smart, she is more or less a experienced goddess and is not fooled so easily.
Seeing that Metis would not take the blame, Eros immediately started to act up.
"I don't care, you are my brain now, give me an idea how to deal with this guy."
"Huh? Aren't you the God of Love? Can't you just use your charm to make her love you till death?"
"Love is not something so random, let alone a tool that can be used to manipulate other people, right?"
She is charming and likeable, but in the final analysis, likes are diverse.
Astati likes Eros quite a lot now, but her love is reflected in possessiveness.
There are also people like Apollo. The more they love, the more affectionate they are, the more they can't let go.
Although Astarte is not affectionate, her possessiveness and ego are the most serious among the goddesses Eros has ever seen.
It would be more troublesome to really put a love spell on her.
