"I know that you can't convey my opinion, because this is equivalent to questioning the blasphemy of the oracle. In that case…I'll have to offend you.”
Now, there was only one way to go.
It was wishful thinking to expect these people to convey his words. The relationship between the priest and the gods was a game of deceiving the superior and deceiving the subordinate. One of the biggest taboos of the priest was to question the accuracy of the oracle.
The thing that conservative people liked to do the most was to remain the same. In the Temple of Ishtar, even if Abel were to move Gilgamesh, he would not be able to let these stone brains know what flexibility was.
The dispute between the theocracy and the royal power was like this. In the face of the willfulness of the theocracy, the royal power would one day have a dispute with it.
Since that was the case, he could only force his way in!
Anyway, it was something that had to be done sooner or later. There was no difference between doing it now and doing it later.
Either he would break into the temple and be killed by Ishtar's wrath, or he would get an oracle from Ishtar to prove that royal power was greater than divine power on earth!
Gilgamesh had probably expected this to happen. He wanted to take Abel's hand and complete a blow to the theocracy.
He himself could not do so because he was an Earth God with two-thirds of the divine blood. No matter how he smashed the statue, it could not prove that the king's power was greater than the divine power.
As expected of a complete Hero King who had the wisdom and strength of a god, apart from the lifespan of a human. He was completely incomparable to the egotistical person from the Holy Grail War.
Abel extended his fingers, and a powerful light shot out from his fingertips. Layers of barriers spread out under his feet, and a huge Mandala Divine Rune appeared in the air.
Abel's divine might was overwhelming!
"What do you want? This was the temple of Ishtar!”
A white-haired old woman with a walking stick stood out from the priests and pointed at Abel excitedly. The temple guards immediately aimed their blades at this daring blasphemer!
"You blasphemous maniac, retreat quickly, or God Ishtar will punish Uruk!”
The old woman waved her walking stick around and cursed Abel.
"So that's how it is?"
Abel narrowed his eyes. He looked at the silent Siduri and the young and beautiful priests behind her, as well as the excited old woman and the old priests behind her. He seemed to understand something.
Another dirty political fight? It seemed that even in the domain of divine power, this was something that could not be avoided.
Was the ideology of the previous High Priest different from that of the current High Priest? Speaking of which, Siduri and Gilgamesh did not seem to have a bad relationship.
But that fellow always had a disgusted expression when he talked about the Ishtar Temple. It seemed that he was referring to these annoying old women.
The shadow of theocracy was gradually fading away from the land of the human world. Otherwise, the gods would not have created Gilgamesh, the Wedge of Heaven, to connect gods and humans.
However, the older generation of priests who had survived from the previous god's generation still served the gods with their devoutness. They regarded the oracle as the only indicator and ignored Uruk's current situation.
What they did not know was that it was difficult for the gods to pay attention to Uruk at all times, much less issue new oracles for them.
In the past, the gods could always pay attention to the earth and at the same time issue more appropriate oracles for the development of mankind. The gods and kings could work closely together.
But now, the gods could not pay attention to the earth all the time, nor could they casually pass down oracles. Under such circumstances, the balance between royal power and theocracy would definitely be broken. Royal power must be above theocracy in order to adapt to the development of the times.
"Cunning fellow." Abel said in a low voice. He looked up at the elderly priests with his golden eyes and said coldly,
" King Gilgamesh's orders are absolute. Even the temple cannot violate the king's orders. The law of adultery must be carried out. Today, I will destroy Ishtar's temple!”
