Let me start with that. To be blunt, humanity in Mesopotamia is on the brink of extinction.

Roughly 80% of the population here has been slaughtered.

However, the goddesses that have appeared here in Mesopotamia are different.
|

[k]
|

It is true they are Divine Spirits summoned by someone, but their Spirit Origins are on the level of true gods.

The monsters we fought earlier were subordinates[line 2]no, it's better to say children[line 2]of one of the goddesses.

The Three Goddess Alliance is, as the name suggests, three female deities working together.
|

[k]
|

We know almost nothing about them, individually or as a group. Their objective, though, is crystal clear.

...The annihilation of the human race.[sr]Complete extinction. No survivors.

“Eradicate humanity here to cause everything rising from this era to die out.” That seems to be their objective.

There's never been a time when gods allied with humans. Humans are nothing more than worker drones to the gods.

Whatever the truth is, for gods, humans are objects to keep, not objects to love.
|

Gods who love humans merely suffer from a logical error due to being multifunctional.

Take the great goddess Inanna[line 2]known as Ishtar in Akkadian[line 2]for instance.
|

[k]
|

|

＠Enkidu

That goddess has a confusing nature unfit for a deity. She loves abundant harvests, man, war, and being at the top.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|

She claims to love humans, but favors war where humans kill each other. Isn't that contradictory?

Right. That's why it's helpful to think of it as a kind of logical error.

Lack of uniformity from having too many elements and functions. Put simply, she's just insane.

In polytheism, the roles of the gods are subdivided into small parts. In other words, they are all specialists, so nothing is wasted.

|

＠Dr. Roman
|

That's why so few gods have this error that makes them love humans. Is that what you're saying?

Yes. Usually the demiurge who possesses many functions and roles is the one that loves humans.
|

[k]
|

The more roles a god has, the more they make logical mistakes. Just like humans.

The three goddesses that appeared here each used their own methods to destroy Mesopotamia.
|

The greatest force of the three drifted over from Greece: The “Goddess of Demonic Beasts.”

From this plateau, you have a clear view of the situation at the Northern Wall.
