More than two hundred years had passed, and the flood had lasted for several generations.
The people of the Babylonian tribe no longer needed their natural hair to keep them warm because they were wearing animal skins and clothes. Their black body hair was gradually decreasing, and their thin outer shell disappeared. Their bodies began to straighten up, gradually revealing their snow-white skin.
They began to evolve from the hairy apes to the thin-haired demi-humans. In terms of body size, they were getting closer and closer to the rugged, strong, and muscular Westerners.
They once had a glorious civilization and established a city-state era, but they had yet to recover. They were still a simple farming tribe and did not even have the ability to rebuild the city-state.
Their glory was built on the foundation of the great Hero King, Gilgamesh.
The great Hero King had the strongest power in the world. He had suppressed countless giant beasts in the world with his own strength, making their Sumerian race the top of the food chain!
But without the Hero King, they would have nothing.
They were unable to develop the Bronze and Iron Age. How could they fight against the giant beasts with only crude stone spears and clubs?
The only holy sword of civilization, the metal weapon, the Sword of Damocles, had already been buried forever in the Great Apocalyptic Flood along with the Hero King Gilgamesh, sinking into the Endless Deep Sea.
Even now, they did not even have the ability to rebuild the city wall.
Uruk Capital City was a city built by Gilgamesh alone. He had personally moved boulders that were comparable to mountains to surround it, and it had only taken him a month.
However, for ordinary people, the workload of building a giant city was already comparable to the difficulty of building a pyramid in ancient Egypt. It would take more than ten years. In such a hungry and cold environment, how could they have so much manpower and material resources?
At this moment.
The daughter of the leader of the Babylonian tribe, Midea, was sighing.
" Sumer is truly a tragic place. That was an epic era that belonged to one person, the great Hero King Gilgamesh. No wonder the people at that time sang praises of him, wrote epics for him, and recorded his glory.”
A vast epic, a glorious civilization.
Merchants, shops, colosseum, slavery.
In the exquisite Uruk palace, the great hero king sat on the throne with deep eyes. He held the Sword of Damocles in his hand and looked down at all living beings.
" Our era has declined, heading towards decline and extinction. If it weren't for the loss of the God-given Sword of Civilization, even if we didn't have the power of the Blood of Strength, we wouldn't have had such a difficult time.”
"Heavens, do you want to destroy our Babylon tribe?”
" Civilization is the power that protects us intelligent species. I, Midea, want to know the path forward for our civilization! How are we supposed to survive!"
Media's expression was calm. She was the bravest and wisest person in the tribe. Her strength was not as good as the men, but her killing skills allowed her to defeat and surpass most of the warriors in the tribe.
She looked at a few burly men from the hunting team who were wearing animal skins and returned to reality." How's the exploration of this area going?”
There was a puddle of rotten mud around them. A warrior answered," This is a vast muddy swamp. It should be the muddy terrain formed by the accumulation of puddles after the flood. There are many species and delicious fruits inside.”
This was a fertile swamp that Xu Zhi had laid out with chicken droppings and cow dung. Naturally, the plants here would flourish even more.
"A great flood?"
Midea took a deep breath and looked at the vast black swamp in front of her.
It was hard to imagine the disaster that happened more than two hundred years ago, the flood that drowned the entire world.
Gods have unimaginable power. They can destroy our entire world with just a wave of their hands.
" There's plenty of food here, so it'll be our tribe's next gathering point." She looked around and suddenly felt something was wrong." Wait, where's Garkai and Bolonigas?”
Looking around, they also found that two people had disappeared.
This had never happened before.
The barbarians on this land did not have much intelligence, and they would not attack weak humans. This was because the people holding crude stone spears and stone axes could not break the scales of the giant beasts at all. They could only let the giant beasts slaughter them and treat them as food.
"Something's wrong. This seemingly peaceful swamp contains strange and terrifying creatures that we don't know about.”" No," Midea's expression changed." The huge size of the giant beasts can't enter the swamp. They will only sink here. There are no traces of the giant beasts. It's only possible that small swamp creatures are secretly attacking us.”
"Let's go!"
Midea made a prompt decision and left with more than twenty people.
However, at this moment, a disgusting gray-black tentacle monster suddenly appeared in the swamp. Its tentacles were like gray seaweed, and its tentacles surrounded a huge scarlet eyeball that was covered in blood vessels.
This was an extremely disproportionate body.
A large eyeball covered in blood vessels actually occupied two-thirds of his body.
"So beautiful."
"How can there be such a good-looking girl in this world!”
A few muscular men dressed in animal skin suddenly met the bewitching blood-shot eyeball of the Evil Eye Creature and couldn't help but walk over in a frenzy. It was as if they had seen a peerless beauty, and they were so excited that no one could stop them.
" What are you guys doing?!"
"Don't go over!"
The surrounding warriors of the Babylonian tribe could not help but feel terrified.
Such a strange and bizarre scene had already subverted their understanding.
As the smartest person in the Babylonian tribe, Media instantly noticed something." What kind of terrifying creature lives in this mud?？Those strange and evil giant eyeballs could actually lure their prey over. The disappearing Garkai and Bolonigas must have walked into the trap and died!”
"Run!"
She made a prompt decision and led everyone to immediately abandon the few people who were slowly walking over and quickly escape.
However, at this moment, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, and her eyes burned with passion.
" What kind of magical creatures are they? They are even weaker than us humans. They have weak tentacles and stupid huge eyeballs, but they have terrifying and inconceivable power. They can destroy creatures that are stronger than themselves.”
" Aren't we weak as well? Why are they the only ones with a unique power?" Media's eyes were burning with passion. It was as if there was a nameless torch burning in her eyes, and a terrifying thought awakened in her mind.
I want to seize its power and revitalize the tribe!!
"Kill it, then we can escape!" Midea suddenly shouted.
"What?"
The warriors of the tribe were shocked.
She turned around and raised the white stone spear high.
" Kill it with me. I want to bring its corpse back to the tribe!" A ray of light fell from the sky and landed on her beautiful and cold face. She looked like the goddess of war in Norse mythology.”
