Capítulo 239: A Divine Partnership

Though not an expert in Sumerian mythology, he was aware of the grief that had plagued Gilgamesh after Enkidu's death. 

Despite the bitter taste, his eyes lit up as he extended his palm.

"I know about the pain of losing a friend, Gilgamesh. We never truly heal from the hole they leave behind." His voice hardened as he balled his fist. "They created him to tone down your arrogance, then took him from you as punishment. All for what?"

He saw Gilgamesh lower his scepter, feeling the man's burning eyes drilling holes in his body, yet he gritted his teeth and continued

"Because they disapproved of your freedom and wanted to shatter your free will. It was never about your arrogance. They don't care about mortals, only about themselves. No. It was because you could threaten their rules."
