Defeated! Marduk is defeated!
Seeing with their own eyes the strongest King of Kings turn to ashes, the remaining Babylonian deities were completely terrified.
"Lay down your weapons, surrender and be spared!"
As Luo En shouted loudly from the sky, the Babylonian gods lost all will to resist and surrendered with raised hands.
Even though a few stubborn diehards with less clarity in their minds still resisted, faced with the united Alliance and Luo En, an overwhelming Origin God, their only fate was to accompany Marduk down below.
Soon, all resistance was purged, and the surrendered Babylonian gods were individually sealed of their Divine Power and Authority, and escorted to the Aerial Courtyard controlled by Empress Semiramis, awaiting judgment after Goddess Tiamat reclaimed power.
Luo En slightly raised his hand and picked up the Heavenly Destiny Mud Tablet, which had lost its luster, and handed it to Tiamat, who had transformed into human form behind him.
This was the Destiny Artifact of the Babylonian Divine Era, a secret treasure once belonging to Tiamat.
Returning it to its original owner was only right.
However, Tiamat gently shook her head, transforming the Heavenly Destiny Mud Tablet into a golden Life Plate, and personally adorned it onto Luo En:
"You are my husband, what’s mine is yours."
On the night of their wedding, she had already entrusted her all to this man before her.
This included her Divine Authority over commanding and creating all beasts.
Due to this, the War Giant Beast Behemoth and the Doomsday Giant Eagle Sierra were born.
Now her children had survived the crisis, so who held this so-called "Destiny" wasn’t important to a "mother."
Luo En smiled warmly, decisively accepting the gift, then stretched out his right hand, revealing a light core composed of countless wedge-shaped Divine Patterns:
"Then this, you’re bound to accept, right? I don’t want to be rejected twice."
The World Origin stolen by Marduk!
Tiamat understood her husband’s good intentions and did not refuse again, opening her mouth to swallow the Source Quality to complete her own deficiencies.
Seeming to feel the world’s authority returning to the original Mother’s hands, all phenomena and creatures of the Babylonian Divine Era emitted joyful sounds, collectively offering congratulations to Goddess Tiamat.
However, due to recently encountering an apocalyptic flood and Origin God’s war, the entire Babylonian Divine Era was full of wounds.
Whether it’s Tiamat’s self-completion or the world’s gradual recovery, both require a slow process.
Since there’s no immediate result, Luo En simply put the matter aside and inquired about the damages and casualties of both sides.
At the start of the battle, the deities of the Netherworld opted to first rescue places like Nineveh, Uruk, and Babylon, allowing most residents to survive.
In contrast, Uruk suffered greatly.
Not only isolated and helpless, but due to the presence of diehards Gilgamesh and Enkidu, it attracted almost all attention from the Babylonian Divine Domain, being dealt with repeatedly by the gods.
After the Divine War, Uruk was left with only a few thousand survivors, even Gilgamesh himself got struck by a Cursed Bullet, suffering a "mere mortal wound."
However, Gilgamesh did not care.
He had long grown tired of his exhausting life as a king and had no intention of continuing Uruk’s glory, conveniently retiring and going with Enkidu to the Garden of Eden to spend his old age.
Of course, completely lying down is impossible.
After all, he still carries the duties of a Judge of the Underworld and would just figure out ways to slack off, leaving the six fellow Judges to bear more of the workload.
As for the defeated Babylonian gods, naturally they were even worse off.
Facing the combined massacre by the Netherworld, Magic Beasts, demigods, and angels, more than half of the named deities fell, even Heavenly God Anu and Earth God Enki were not spared.
Only a few clever ones remained, seeing the bad signs, they wisely surrendered.
However, Luo En was surprised to find that Air God Enlil, one of the Three Pillar Gods, managed to break through the deadlock and escape successfully.
This was partly due to the Moon Goddess Sin being unwilling to strike a deadly blow, and partly due to Enlil’s own ruthlessness and decisiveness.
He was the first to notice the Babylonian gods had no hope of victory, so he decisively betrayed Heavenly God Anu and Earth God Enki and fled quickly.
After all, due to the Divine Authority disputes, he had longstanding enmity with the other two Pillar Gods and the King of Kings Marduk.
The entire Babylonian Divine Era was the industry of that big nephew’s family and had little relation to him.
When disaster approached, naturally he wouldn’t expect to die for it.
"Appropriate for the God of Storms and Air, he sure is adept at going with the wind and fleeing."
Luo En remarked, briefly mourning silently for Anu and Enki who were betrayed by Enlil.
Then, he looked playfully at Moon Goddess Sin before him:
"So, do you know where Enlil might have fled to, Sir?"
Feeling an invisible pressure enveloping him, Moon Goddess Sin recalled King of Kings Marduk who had recently turned to dust, and couldn’t help but swallow, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Although they’re parent and child, his father never cared much for familial bonds.
And even though there is a bit of blood relation, he had already repaid his due in this Divine War.
Next, he had to somewhat consider his own life and Future.
Resolving his decision, Moon Goddess Sin promptly bowed his head and respectfully replied:
"Sire, judging by the direction, it should be Canaan!"
