CHAPTER 1280: CHAPTER 40: THE LEGACY OF THE MASTER CANNOT BE LOST

Nineveh, located on the east bank of the Tigris River, stands opposite Mosul City across the river, known as "the greatest city before God." The Bible mentions Nineveh City: "Yahweh shall stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and make Nineveh a wasteland, as dry as a desert."

Could it be that this is indeed a famous historical city with profound ties to him?

No wonder this place can serve as a waypoint, allowing him to bring Tiamat along, forcibly breaking through the World Barrier of the Babylonian Divine Era and sneaking in.

Of course, the female mage who served as a medium to activate the summoning array also deserves credit.

Luo En gave a playful smile, observing the summoner in front of him with great interest.

Semiramis, the legendary queen who is said to have once reigned over the Assyrian Empire. From an early age, she studied various refinements extensively, from makeup, hairstyling, decoration to dance, music, and astronomy; possessing beauty that fascinated men. On the other hand, she loved extravagance and decay, with a passionate personality. This passion drove her to continually invest her energy in things that interested her, quickly achieving significant accomplishments; in politics, she showed ruthlessness, poisoning the king, who was her husband, launching multiple expeditions during her reign, brutally suppressing courtier rebellions, and even overseeing the construction of Nineveh’s walls and the famous Ishtar Gate, showcasing a unique talent in civil engineering.

In short, she is a highly controversial yet very capable queen.

Moreover, considering bloodline and status, it seems Luo En could also have some relation to this future Assyrian Empress.

Legend has it that the half-man, half-fish god in Greek mythology, Dekatos, offended the Love God Aphrodite for some reason and was cursed. Later, Dekatos wandered to the Syria region and, under the influence of the curse, fell madly in love with a young Syrian man, Kanestros, and bore him a daughter.

After giving birth to the daughter, Dekatos realized the shame of losing herself to a human, so she abandoned the daughter, used the authority of the fish god to turn her legs into a fish tail, and leaped into a lake to escape, disappearing. Being a naturally born demigod, she had a strong affinity with all things in nature. Seeing the abandoned baby girl, a group of doves stole cream and cheese from a shepherd’s house to feed her. Finally, the shepherd, through the doves, discovered this divine baby girl and took her to the tribe’s chief, Sims, who named her "Semiramis."

After being adopted, Semiramis gradually grew up and learned various knowledge. Upon reaching adulthood, she married the old General Onnes, but due to her beauty, she was taken by the lustful Assyrian King Ninus, leading General Onnes to commit suicide in resentment.

From then on, Semiramis entered the royal palace, and with her extensive knowledge, she proposed new tactics to the king and won his favor, soon becoming a princess officially. After successfully winning the favor of this Assyrian king, she secretly poisoned him, united the old troops of General Onnes, and became the next ruler of Assyria.

In fact, from her marriage to the Assyrian king, to poisoning her husband, and reigning over Nineveh, all occurred within just a few days.

In the following decades, she ruled Assyria as a regent, leading Assyria to grow continuously, building a prosperous empire.

If the above records are correct, it’s very likely that Semiramis contains half the bloodline of the Greek Gods.

And since Luo En is the current Heavenly Father of the Age of Greek Gods, this future Assyrian Empress might even call him "Father God."

Probably due to this subtle connection, Luo En managed to seamlessly integrate into the Babylonian Divine Era through this summoning ritual.

Furthermore, according to the room’s layout and this future Assyrian Empress’s account, the time node when he and Tiamat descended seemed to be on the eve of Semiramis’s plan to strike against the Assyrian king.

This is considered the oldest recorded poisoning event in history, hence, Semiramis is also known in later generations as the world’s oldest poisoner.

It seems like witnessing history again.

Luo En chuckled silently, casually lifted the restrictions on Semiramis, and showed a smile he thought was friendly:

"Semiramis, do you want revenge? Against that Assyrian king who ruined your life?"

"You’re joking, that’s the man who will soon be my husband, my reliance and love."

Semiramis quickly shook her head, showing a smile she thought was "affectionate" on her face.

Luo En rolled his eyes, directly getting to the point:

"Don’t be nervous, I’m here to help you. If I really had malicious intent, do you think you could escape?"

Hearing this, Semiramis looked at the invisible barrier enveloping the entire room behind her, pondering deeply.

The summoning earlier caused quite a commotion, yet until now, neither the royal palace guards nor the court mages could detect it, and no one came.

This is enough to prove that the man before her possesses terrifying power, likely a true god descended upon the world.

As he said, if he really planned to do anything to her, a weak woman, she would be powerless to resist.

Thinking of this, Semiramis slightly lowered her guard and curiously asked:

"So, what do I need to pay, sir?"

Everything comes at a price.

Deities are not philanthropists, how could they help her seek revenge for nothing?

"Loyalty!" Luo En’s answer was straightforward, "Serve me, Semiramis. I can offer you the opportunity and ability for revenge against the Assyrian king, as well as a stage to showcase your talents."
