[That brilliance, that tenacity, that legacy—]
[What a splendid race of beings]
[Since the arrival of the The White Death to this planet, trampling and destroying all myths and fantasies]
[The Sumerian gods, on the brink of extinction, should have fallen in fear and despair, yet they heard the indomitable roar of a certain human]
[That human resolutely faced the white giant]
[With love for the great ancestors in his heart, bearing the awareness to transcend everything, he offered the wish to reach tomorrow]
[The blood flowing in him is that of a beast]
[The Sumerian gods do not know which divine realm this human descendant comes from, but they saw the dawn of hope]
[Thus, the gods made a choice]
[All surviving gods of the pantheon did this]
[They chose to respond to the call of this dazzling brilliance, entrusting all their prayers and wishes to the insignificant human]
[In the end, that human, like a fierce beast]
[He embodied the golden radiance of his ancestors, carrying hope and love, delivering a final blow with all the power of this planet]
[The Vanguard of the Umbral Star was crushed and destroyed by the light of the holy sword]
[The one who gave everything dissipated with a satisfied smile, without a trace of regret or remorse, his noble figure, filled with great love, truly evokes deep emotions]
[At that moment, the sun god Utu saw the light of humanity and understood the infinite possibilities that humanity possesses]
[He was overjoyed by such beautiful and powerful brilliance]
[It could be said that he was infatuated with it]
[He sincerely wanted to sing praises for the courage of humanity, a desire that reached the point of hoarseness]
[—Humanity is a group of beings with strong vitality; they should not be bound by the gods; they should have a broader space for growth]
[The sun god Utu recognized humanity as the spirit of the stars]
[Perhaps, the decline of the divine age is inevitable]
[In his view, the gods did not defeat the Umbral Star, but humanity did defeat the Vanguard of the Umbral Star. This is already the best proof]
[However, the Sumerian gods do not share his thoughts]
[Many gods have a different perspective]
[—Undefined and ambiguous humanity is terrifying; they actually defeated an enemy that even they could do nothing about?]
[The humanity that perished time and again at their hands?]
[They actually surpassed the gods?]
[The Sumerian gods found this incomprehensible and felt a near-embarrassed anger]
[Their desire to control humanity intensified]
[They cannot accept the arrival of an era where the gods fade away, and they absolutely refuse to hand this planet over to humanity]
[—Humanity is merely a tool for the gods,
Even if humanity achieves feats that surpass the gods, that cannot change the ironclad rule that humanity is a tool of the gods]
[This is the attitude of the god king Enlil]
[No, rather, this is the attitude of most Mesopotamian gods. For a long time, they have viewed humanity as tools, and their gazes contain almost no love]
[The sun god Utu felt displeased by this]
[But, there is nothing he can do]
[Now seeing the gods so sensitive that they would persecute even a newly born child]
[This long-accumulated resentment made the sun god Utu unable to endure any longer, and he resolutely stood up]
"Utu, you have spoken!"
Enlil seemed to be pricked at a painful spot.
The fear of the Vanguard of the Umbral Star shone from the depths of his eyes, as if he could see the disaster that destroyed the planet thousands of years ago.
Many Sumerian gods had once knelt and begged for mercy from The White Death, Sefar, to survive under the titan's hand.
This shame is unforgettable for anyone.
Although the god king Enlil did not kneel and beg for mercy from the White Titan, the outcome was not much better.
He merely survived that great battle.
Indeed, just barely surviving.
The Greek gods fought to the last moment for the humanity they loved, and the Norse gods and their people bravely perished in the flames of war.
They all fought to the last moment.
The Sumerian gods also had significant sacrifices, but it is a fact that some gods knelt and begged for mercy among them.
Begging for mercy from the invaders from another star.
—Despicable, shameful.
"Enlil, I will not allow you to lay a hand on this child. He has committed no crime and should never be treated this way!"
The sun god Utu said firmly.
He stood between the goddess Ninsun and the other gods, shining brilliantly like a sunbeam...
[Those gods who were originally indifferent]
[At this moment, could no longer maintain their aloofness]
[Some gods were indeed swayed by the sun god Utu; it was too disgraceful to act against Ninsun's child]
[This is simply not something a god should do]
[Can they not even tolerate a child now?]
[Of course, there are also gods who were angered and embarrassed by Utu's words]
[The humiliation brought by the Vanguard of the Umbral Star is a painful scar that the Sumerian gods can never forget]
"Utu, my decision is not something you can defy.
The supreme god orders, in the name of the god king Enlil. This child must be bound! This is for the survival of the Mesopotamian gods!"
Enlil said with wide-open eyes.
The sun god Utu not only exposed the gods' scars but also publicly defied his decision.
The child himself has become unimportant.
There is no doubt that Utu is challenging the authority of his supreme god.
Although the sun god Utu holds a high position in Mesopotamia, he is still not as esteemed as the god king Enlil.
[The gods gradually split into two factions in this atmosphere]
[One side supports Utu, while the other side supports the god king Enlil]
[The tension between the two sides is rising]
[However, if the god king Enlil truly decides to act, it is unlikely that anyone would come to the aid of the sun god Utu]
[Because the authority of the god king Enlil is absolute]
[At this moment, the true end to the dispute comes from another god who arrives in this wilderness]
[—The father of the gods, Anu]
[This great god has come this time for his beloved daughter and the adorable grandson born into the world]
[As a result, what he saw upon arrival was a farce]
[An infuriating farce]
"Enlil, have you been the god king for too long, becoming this foolish? You cannot even tolerate the birth of a child; with such a mindset, how can our divine lineage continue?"
The ancient sky god Anu intervened.
Among the gods present, even the god king Enlil is merely his child.
Anu cannot tolerate his beloved daughter enduring the pain of having her own child stripped away.
