Many of us support that theory. Gilgamesh too, travel to the underworld,
land of death, or whatever you want to call it when is friend Enkidu died
and he managed to bring him back to life. It's a classic in mythology, any
mythology as a matter of fact. I think he will travel to the underworld,
even knowing that he might not come back that sacrifice will make him more
powerful and will give him kwnoledge and the true power to defeat LV,
whatever it is.
