[After that, Ishtar went to the heavens.]
[She complained to the gods who were her brothers and sisters.]
[After the gods learned about this, they were shocked.]
[Ishtar's emotional problems are not what the gods care about. What they care about is that humans actually attacked the gods.]
[This alone is unforgivable.]
[Since ancient times, humans in Mesopotamia have been defined as tools created by the gods.]
[A mere tool disobeys the gods.]
[This made many gods furious.]
[It hasn't been long since you conquered Humbaba, and the authority of the gods has been further challenged.]
"Conquered our divine beasts, and then hurt the goddess, humph, next, humans are probably going to overthrow us gods?! Humans are too rampant and arrogant!"
"Tools should do what tools should do. Trying to hurt the master? I think humans should have another great cleansing! God King Enlil, send down destruction on humans again! No need for mercy! No need for pity!"
"A person hurt a god, is there any need to defend it? This is a crime!"
[The gods' accusations ere as fierce as a rainstorm.]
[However, there are also rational people in these voices. They believe that this matter is entirely Ishtar's problem.]
[The two factions quarreled again.]
[The voices condemning humans are even more enthusiastic and huge.]
[At the same time, Ishtar is also helping to fuel the flames, making the fire of this debate burn even more vigorously.]
[The sun god Utu is on your side.]
[He is not in a good position to speak at this time.]
[The fact that you attacked Ishtar is too fatal for the gods.]
[The gods are thinking, today you can hurt Ishtar.]
[Tomorrow, I'm afraid you will be able to hurt them.]
[Therefore, there is fear in the anger of the gods. They believe that this trend must not be allowed to rise and must be punished.]
[Utu, who tried to defend you, looked embarrassed.]
[This matter is difficult to simply gloss over]
[At this moment, the King of the Gods, Enlil, spoke, delivering a judgment on behalf of the gods who were stirred by indignation—]
"Now is ultimately the age of humans. We can no longer bring down destruction as we did before, as it is not conducive to the continuation of the age of the gods.
I know your anger, know your fear. However, humans are not what they used to be."
King of the Gods, Enlil, said slowly.
Everyone could hear that this was once again protecting humanity.
Many gods were enraged.
Previously, Enlil had already granted humans special treatment, and now he was bringing out this set of excuses.
The gods' anger thus intensified.
But, just as the gods were about to start arguing again, Enlil added: "However, there must still be punishment, otherwise we gods will lose our authority in the eyes of humans… Let the Bull of Heaven descend."
[In an instant, the gods stopped their thoughts of speaking]
[In their view, this was indeed a rather good method]
[The Bull of Heaven is also a divine weapon]
[Its power is only stronger than Humbaba, making it perfect for demonstrating the majesty of the gods]
[Although, some gods felt it was not enough]
[But, not many gods opposed this matter, after all, it was a decision made by the King of the Gods, Enlil]
[Many gods suppressed their dissatisfaction]
[The numerous special protections Enlil gave to humans caused their dissatisfaction to accumulate]
[The gods more wished for the humans who harmed them to directly pay the price with their lives, not just sending out the Bull of Heaven so simply]
[The Sun God Utu sensed the wrong atmosphere]
[The gods' dissatisfaction was gradually brewing]
[Enlil wanted to continuously compress this emotion, and then let it completely erupt]
[Coincidentally, the ownership of the Bull of Heaven currently lies with Enlil]
[In his view, if the Bull of Heaven did not successfully bring disaster, it would further enrage the gods]
[At that time, the gods would not have any complaints about punishing humans]
[From Ishtar's injury, he could see]
[You are a threat that must be eliminated]
[All that he is doing is to make the gods see this point, that a poison to the world like you is the threat]
[The one that the gods must deal with]
[Obviously, the open scheme used by Enlil left Utu with no choice; no god could stop the descent of the Bull of Heaven]
[Thus, the judgment against humanity was handed down]
[The gods proclaimed that, because you committed the sin of arrogance in defying the gods, the Bull of Heaven will descend from the sky in seven days, delivering divine punishment]
[Having received the divine decree, you began to prepare for war]
[Soon, seven days passed]
[The gods ordered the Bull of Heaven, Gugalanna, to descend upon Uruk as a disaster for humanity's offense against the gods]
[On that day, the giant bull descended from the sky]
[It charged wildly, destroying the magnificent walls of Uruk, its breath scorching the city like fire]
[Its hooves smashed the ground like falling stars]
[Fortunately, the Sun God Utu had informed you of the Bull of Heaven's attack in advance, and the people of Uruk took refuge ahead of time, so the arrival of the Bull of Heaven did not cause too many casualties]
[You, Gilgamesh, Enkidu]
[The three of you faced the Bull of Heaven directly]
[No, not just you, but also Humbaba, who regarded Enkidu as a close friend, was also providing assistance]
[The three people and one beast confronted the Bull of Heaven's rage]
[The divine beast Humbaba and Gilgamesh directly confronted the Bull of Heaven, Enkidu used the Chains of Heaven to apply restraints, and you seized the opportunity to give this heavenly bull a head-on blow]
[The body of the Bull of Heaven was like a giant cumulonimbus cloud, and its storm-like footsteps made it impossible to approach easily]
[However, with the restraints of the Chains of Heaven]
[In addition, your special attack targeting divinity and beast-like enemies made it difficult for even the Bull of Heaven to parry]
[Not to mention, there were also the divine beast Humbaba and Gilgamesh]
[The combined attack of the Sword of Rupture and the Seven Natural Splendors]
[This righteous four-on-one made the Bull of Heaven feel extremely frustrated]
[The Chains of Heaven almost bound it into a dumpling]
[Each of your slashes would split its skin and flesh, and after only a few rounds, it became so angry that its bull eyes turned blood-red]
[The Bull of Heaven was indeed very powerful]
[You also suffered varying degrees of injuries when facing its rampage. However, your combined attack was clearly stronger, and you forcibly held down this divine weapon and beat it]
[You grabbed the Bull of Heaven's horns with both hands]
[As if condensing the brute force of all the magical beasts and divine beasts in the world, it seemed as if even the sky was about to be turned upside down]
[An astonishing scene appeared—]
[The Bull of Heaven was lifted up by you just like that!]
