Merlin, standing to the side, looked at the leopard-man and said.
"Although you'll suffer some hardships, your life should be safe. Are you done asking? If you are, then you can leave."
The leopard-man waved his hand at the group, as if to say goodbye.
"Wait a minute, I have something to ask you."
Just as the leopard man was about to see the guest off, Xia Die interrupted him.
"What is it? Ask me while I'm in a good mood."
The leopard man seemed to treat Xia Die slightly better.
After all, one is bound to be obligated to those who accept bribes, and even gods have their pride.
You can't just turn your back on someone right after you've taken their things, can you?
"I want to ask you, have you ever seen death?"
Could you be more specific? What do you mean by death...?
Hearing Xia Die's somewhat abstract question, Leopard Man felt his CP was getting a little hot.
What kind of death is this she's talking about?
“I don’t know her exact form. All I know is that she is my half-body, the embodiment of death. I don’t know anything else.”
"I don't know, at least I've never seen it. As for whether Kukul knows anything about it, I'm not sure either."
The leopard-man shrugged and said.
Seeing this, Xia Die nodded, without showing any disappointment in her eyes. After all, if she could find her other half so easily, the task would be far too simple.
Since her last encounter with Ellie, Xia Die had not met her again, so she had no opportunity to ask her.
If we were to pinpoint the most likely location for her other half, it would undoubtedly be the Underworld. Of course, if she were to actually appear, given the power of the Titans, Ereshkigal wouldn't be so relaxed right now. Even if the Titans are invincible in the Underworld, it's hard to say how a power from beyond the heavens like the Titans would fare in this world.
"It's troublesome."
Xia Die nodded. The purpose of this trip had been achieved. Although the people of Ur had not been rescued, Merlin was still relieved to know that they were safe.
Afterwards, Xia Die and the others returned to Uruk.
After returning to Gilgamesh's palace, Xia Die recounted the events of the past two days to Gilgamesh in detail.
"hahahahahahahaha."
Just then, wild laughter erupted from inside the palace.
"What a pity, what a pity! I didn't witness such an interesting thing myself. It's such a shame. I'm going to write this on the stone tablet. Hmm, I'll write that I laughed so hard my abs hurt."
Gilgamesh couldn't hold back his laughter after hearing Xia Die's description of the leopard-man.
"Your Majesty, this is not the time to laugh. If the goddess in the dense forest is real, then we're in for a lot of trouble."
Merlin, standing to the side, looked at Gilgamesh with a headache.
That's Quetzalcoatl, a true god-level being. Even if he doesn't belong to this era and didn't descend in his complete form, considering the inexplicably appearing tropical rainforest, his strength might be far more terrifying than imagined.
There are no tropical rainforests in Mesopotamia, so there is only one possibility for the tropical rainforest that suddenly appeared on the border of Ur: it is the power of the feathered serpent god. Its scale is probably at the level of an inherent barrier, a manifestation of a miracle.
To be honest, it's only because Xia Die knows that the other party is a benevolent god. If such a being is truly an enemy, perhaps only Xia Die, after becoming a Titan, would be able to defeat it.

Xia Die (Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia) : 21: Ushiwakamaru's touching moment
After returning from Ur, Gilgamesh seemed to have suppressed his playful nature and secretly went for a stroll by the sea. He was attacked and fought a great battle with the god who looked exactly like Enkidu, but the final result was a draw.
While Gilgamesh was sneaking away, Xia Die was not idle either. She reappeared on the northern battlefield, and sure enough, after Xia Die appeared on the battlefield, the enemy's attack followed.
The two demon generals came out together, wanting to kill Xia Die, but with Merlin's help, Xia Die touched one of them first.
Interestingly, this time the Warcraft generals are a man and a woman.
Meanwhile, Xia Die delivered a stunning performance, instantly defeating the snake woman. Finally, with Anna's help, the other monster general was also left behind.
The once incredibly powerful enemy lost three high-level combatants in a short period of time, after which the attacks of those magical beasts became somewhat weak.
With Xia Die's help, the casualties on the front lines were reduced by a huge margin in a short period of time.
However, the very next day, Xia Die was summoned by Gilgamesh.
When Merlin brought Xia Die and Anna to the main hall, Ushiwakamaru had just returned from the front lines. She had originally planned to fight on the front lines, but Gilgamesh told them to rest because they were too tired to be of any use.
He nodded to Ushiwakamaru, and after the other party left, Xia Die came to Gilgamesh.
"What do you need me for, Wang?"
She wore a faint smile as she looked at the king sitting above her.
As she spoke, she glanced at Siduri beside her. Siduri still had a hint of dissatisfaction on her face. Clearly, she had given Gilgamesh a good scolding before Xia Die and Ushiwakamaru arrived. However, he was, after all, her king. It was one thing for the two of them to complain in private, but in front of Xia Die and the others, Siduri still had to give Gilgamesh face.
"I remembered something, so I summoned you. Go and retrieve the Destiny Tablet."
Gilgamesh rested his chin on his hand, his eyes glancing at the information on the stone tablet, and casually spoke to Xia Die.
He indulged himself all day yesterday, leaving behind a lot of work. Although Siduri helped solve some of it, there were still many things he needed to decide for himself. So even while talking with Xia Die, he was dealing with matters.
If Jingyuan were here, the two of them would probably have a lot to say to each other.
Of course, if Xia Die had transformed into Jing Yuan this time, she wouldn't have had so many concerns. With the power of the Commander, she could have pierced and destroyed all the enemies in this world with a single strike.
"The Destiny Tablet?"
Anna looked at the other person with some confusion.
“That’s right, the clay tablet records the future that I saw in meditation before.”
Gilgamesh nodded.
"Since you wrote it down, you should still remember it, right?"
Xia Die looked at the other person with some confusion.
"Why should I remember the premonitions of the all-seeing eye that I recorded while half-asleep? Do you remember every detail of your dreams? Or do you remember exactly how many slices of bread you ate every morning?"
Gilgamesh waved his hand and said.
Xia Die thought about it and realized that it made sense. She had so many dreams, but she could only remember a few. Most of the time, she knew she had a dream yesterday, but she couldn't remember what it was.
"Have you remembered where you put the clay tablet?"
Merlin said.
“That is a clay tablet that I recorded in Kusa City on my way back to Uruk from the underworld.”
"To be able to come back from the underworld is just incredible..."
Xia Die couldn't help but sigh; the structure of this world was far too simple. Above was the human world, and digging directly underground led to the underworld...
That's a bit too simplistic and crude.
"Kusa City is now within the sphere of influence of the goddess Ishtar, which is why the king sent you there."
Siduri added from the side.
"Although you'll have to fight that woman sooner or later, she seems to treat you quite well. It's better to avoid trouble and save yourself a lot of problems. Hmm... so it seems that woman isn't as bad as she seems..."
Gilgamesh seemed to be pondering something.
She looked at Xia Die beside her and waved her hand: "Go, this is the king's order, bring back the Heavenly Mandate Tablet."
After leaving, Xia Die returned to her residence.
Kusa is still some distance from Uruk, but the speed of Thalyss, Anna, and Merlin is unmatched by ordinary people. After discussing it, the three decided to set off tomorrow.
"Speaking of which, Anna seems to be quite clingy to you. She was like that when she was plotting against the Beast General. If it were me, Anna would definitely refuse, but she agreed without even thinking when Miss Xia Die asked."
Merlin joked from the side.
"I would refuse if it were Merlin, but I would agree if it were anyone else."
Anna, standing to the side, pouted and said unhappily.
"Discrimination! This is blatant discrimination!"
"That's right, I do discriminate against you, and one day I'll kill you, you hateful guy."
Anna gave Merlin a wistful look.
"Anna, you must be joking, haha..."
Merlin scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.
"Guess what?"
"Cough cough..."
Seeing that Anna's expression was serious, Merlin chuckled and left.
Meanwhile, Xia Die took Anna back to her residence.
At night, the bright moonlight shines on Uruk, and the city glitters in the darkness.
It was as if covered with a layer of silver gauze.
Xia Die stayed in the same house as Niu Ruowan, but Niu Ruowan was usually on the battlefield and rarely came back to spend the night.
However, today, under Gilgamesh's orders, Ushiwakamaru also rested at home for a day.
At night, after washing up, I put on a white gauze dress and enjoyed a moment of tranquility on the rooftop, feeling the evening breeze.
Before she knew it, more than a month had passed since she came to this world. Before, Xia Die would never have dared to imagine that she could come here. Time travel is amazing, isn't it?
Just then, Xia Die heard crisp footsteps behind her.
"I didn't expect to meet Miss Xia Die here. By the way, I haven't thanked you yet. If it weren't for your help on the front line, our pressure would have been much greater. After you arrived, even the loss of soldiers has decreased a lot. There are many soldiers in the army who admire you."
Behind him, Ushiwakamaru looked at Xia Die and said.
"It's just something I can do. This power to take lives, if used properly, can also be used to protect. I'm happy to be able to help everyone."
Xia Die gently touched her chest and said with a smile.
