Chapter 72 - 72. Anake vs. Gilgamesh II

As they fought in the chaotic space pocket, everything seemed to come a stop, which actually led me to have an inner combination of what it means to be alive and what we cannot actually see in the epic battle of two souls of eternal omniverse that no one could observe from any singular universe that they could extract power from. That said, in one side we would have Anake. No one should be actually capable of defeating anyone that could get to face the massive inevitability of what she was and her connection to the divine feminine. As a matter of fact, no one was prepared to shock the main way of life that they were trying to in any way possible. That was why no one would come to challenge Anake.

The first time that Karl had seen Anake, whose real name was Ananke, is surface extended beyond what the eye could see. If one followed the scales downwards, one discovered that they merged with other scales, in the same color, and the two parts intertwined into each other in an ever tightening braid. For this she was distinguished along with her blue goddess eyes and white skin as the snow

The eye lost focus and could no longer distinguish the two snake skins that wound into each other. If one looked upwards, towards the heads of the two entangled snakes, one saw that the body of the first snake rose further up and the scales were no longer scales, but formed the face of a deity; this was the first face that testified to what a deity is, and on each side were seen other heads, a lion and an ox, and from the back rose a pair of huge and beautifully patterned wings as if she were made from a whole movie of the initiation of life.

A white female arm went in and around the god's arm high up, just as the snakes' tails were tied together at the bottom. In that sense, Toward the face of the god the woman's face turned, and she stretched out her free hand, behind which the mighty wing vibrated, as far as she could: where her fingernails reached, there was Everything's limit. They were an immobile and royal couple: they were called Time-Without-Age and Ananke, but in this case, they were never husband and wife: they were brothers. SO basically, Karl had defeated Chronos, getting Ananke for himself as a wife.

As Ananke approached Gilgamesh, something looked off as if it had been taken from a horror story. This was not normal at all. After all, they needed an expert to take on the injuries on the super mega divine Gilgamesh. She looked at him as if he was no big deal. A falure.... he had failed to obey the other gods. In the best way, he got to see defeat for the first time. He was humiliated. Like a simp. Llike a pimp. He is not Andrew Tate, nor Krishna. It seemed to Anank that no one had taken her seriously. For real, that was not his best state for a real character.

Ananke: You are not nothing: you were just a simple mortal with millions of adventure. That will take you millions of years to fix, excluding what you could be for the next generations. As for why it could actually take a tool on you. It is so obvious. Death is inevitable for everyone, except for the one that I love. Initially, I was thinking about letting you go. But I… have decided to change my mind. As far as I can tell, this cannot actually take me any further. This is your end, Gilgamesh. Nothing stronger than Ananke. L'acier, l'airain plus fortement s'allume que les roseaux qu'un feu léger consume.

As she was trying to pierce him, Gilgamesh life was going through a superior flashback. Yes: the gods took Enkidu's life. But man's life is short, at any moment it can be snapped, like a reed in a canebrake.

But that was not enough for him: the handsome young man, the lovely young woman—in their prime, death comes and drags them away. Though no one has seen death's face or heard death's voice, suddenly, savagely, death destroys us, all of us, old or young. And yet we build houses, make contracts, brothers divide their inheritance, conflicts occur—as though this human life lasted forever. The river rises, flows over its banks and carries us all away, like mayflies floating downstream: they stare at the sun, then all at once there is nothing.

 Yeah, I was its king once, a long time ago, when the great gods decided to send the Flood. Five gods decided, and they took an oath to keep the plan secret: Anu their father, the counselor Enlil, Ninurta the gods' chamberlain, and Ennugi the sheriff. Ea also, the cleverest of the gods, had taken the oath, but I heard him whisper the secret to the reed fence around my house. 'Reed fence, reed fence, listen to my words. King of Shuruppak, quickly, quickly tear down your house and build a great ship, leave your possessions, save your life. The ship must be square, so that its length equals its width. Build a roof over it, just as the Great Deep is covered by the earth. Then gather and take aboard the ship examples of every living creature that actually be taken seriously for the unique purpose of life. That is why I did it.

 

Gilgamesh: What am I so pathetic? My life is passing before my very eyes. I cannot defeat this inevitable goddess. Shiva has played a trick against me. I should have killed him in his human form on that day. I cannot actually do shit about my own life. Why would I think about my friend now? This does not make any sense. I will tell them what I wanna do. But in this regard, nothing could actually show them who you are for the following centuries. DAMN! She is about to crush me. I SHOULD DO SOMETHING NOW!!!

As he said that, a light fierier than the sun was piercing through the main contact of the skin and the eternal light of the aurora. But in that sense, it looked like it was a game: he did not know how to find out what it was. Instead, he thought he was halucinating

Enkidu: Can't you see how fortunate you are? You have worn yourself out through ceaseless striving, you have filled your muscles with pain and anguish. And what have you achieved but to bring yourself one day nearer to the end of your days? Do not be that harsh on yourself, Gilgamesh. I am here for you.
