Chapter 203 – 202. Return to Sapil (5)
-Uruk Imperial Palace Ziggurat / Emperor’s Office-
“Kkkk, kkkk!
“Why the hell are you doing this again, Gilgamesh?”
“No, isn’t it funny? You laugh because it’s funny. Isn’t that right?”
Looks like you’re using clairvoyance again. While doing this, Elkie stuck out his tongue and said, “Tsk.”
And new documents are delivered to Gilgamesh, and Gilgamesh is processing them.
Even if he is said to be clairvoyant, Gilgamesh is in reality the same as blind.
To be honest, I’m curious about how he handles documents, but seeing as he can read and write accurately, it seems like he has no problem living his life.
Gilgamesh, who was observing Clark from afar through clairvoyance, chuckled and spoke to Elkidu.
“Isn’t it fun? To come down after seeing the gods. Oh my God, who else could do something like this? Don’t you think it’s fun, the rule of the gods is finally being shaken. Yes, the rule of the damned bastards.”
“…”
Maybe Gilgamesh didn’t want to be born like this.
He himself was born to bind men to the gods. Likewise, Elkidu was a chain made to make Gilgamesh obey the gods again.
Such is the life created for someone’s purpose.
That’s why Gilgamesh was able to understand Clark, resisting the gods, and directly disobeying and resisting the [Demon Sultan] Who created him.
I don’t know what the Demon Sultan really wants from Clark, but it’s clear that he at least wanted this situation.
That’s right, because a pained yet giggling sound came from beyond the dimension to Gilgamesh’s ears. It’s clear that he’s having a lot of fun with this situation.
“Why are you giggling and laughing so much, Gilgamesh?”
And here, the voice of a third person is heard. She is a woman who appears with the light of Venus and the light of the morning star. She is so beautiful that she doesn’t look like she’s human.
A face with shining lavender hair, golden eyes, and beautiful features.
Her net veil is adorned with golden jewelry, and the same goes for the top that covers her chest. The goddess, with her navel exposed, her fishnets, and herself adorned with golden chains and colorful jewels, appears out of thin air.
She is a goddess
Goddess of the Uruk Empire.
Because it was Ishtar.
And as soon as Ishtar’s voice was heard, Gilgamesh, who had been laughing, narrowed his eyes and asked Ishtar as if he was displeased.
“Is there any reason why I shouldn’t smile, Ishtar?”
“Ha, really! There’s a fucking star on this planet right now, and what are you doing if you don’t get rid of it?”
Ah, as expected.
Did even this idiot goddess notice that?
Gilgamesh’s actions are foolish, arbitrary, and completely self-centered. She is Anu’s spoiled daughter and a self-indulgent goddess who threw Gugal Anna into Uruk because she rejected her marriage proposal. She remembers that she had taken care of Gugal Anna on her own and that El Kidou had taken care of it.
She lifted her hind legs and waved them around for some teabagging, and it seemed like she was trying to take out her anger on El Kidu.
From that day on, whenever Elkidu looks at Ishtar, he grits his teeth, but holds it back.
And Gilgamesh asks Ishtar.
Is this something to make such a fuss about?
At least from Gilgamesh’s perspective, it’s not something to make a fuss about, but rather it’s more like entertainment.
Why did God become so annoying?
They are just cowards.
And, they are just afraid of retaliation for their actions.
So you must be afraid.
That’s why Gilgamesh asks.
“Why are you afraid?”
“Hah? Are you afraid? If I use my strength, I can get rid of it as much as I want? Even if it’s Shubniguras or something, it’s only as strong as cancer…”
Well, then that would be it.
That is, until I saw the head break in person.
Well, considering that Mount Ebih was eventually torn down and leveled, I can appreciate your stubbornness and persistence, but…
That’s only when you can endure it.
“Well, shouldn’t you look at your opponent and attack him? I think it’s better for you to disappear, but the people of Uruk want your presence.”
Even though she looks like that, she is a goddess with a complex portfolio of fertility, abundance, war, and love. If she dies, Uruk will be full of disasters such as poor harvests for a while, and of course she may be resurrected, but for now, Mortus is by her side.
“Mortus is there, so stop. If you cross the line there, it may use its own hands.”
After announcing that it would be the end if she died this time, Ishtar seemed to calm down a bit and asked Gilgamesh.
Is he the type to worry this much? It’s a bonus to be surprised while doing it.
“Huh, huh, what is it? If that’s the case, then why did you reject my marriage proposal before?”
“It’s because I hate you. If I live with someone like you who combines a swarm of locusts, a sandstorm, and a child’s tantrums, I won’t live even 10 years before I die. I’d rather choose death than marry you.”
“Ugh!!! You idiot!!!”
“…Tsk. Put it aside, there’s no need to look at the young star’s existence as a bad thing.”
Whether we like it or not, it is bound to create change and bring change to stagnant human lives. Gilgamesh hoped for that, and the large-scale transfer and reincarnation incident caused by Nodens brought about changes in Uruk as Gilgamesh captured those who were transferred.
Whether it is destruction or creation, it is time for change.
“What guarantees that they won’t outright try to kill us?”
“As long as some idiot doesn’t openly attack in everyone’s name.”
A strong candidate is Phrygia, the realm of the Olympian gods where Clark is now.
And after attacking Clark in the name of Jupiter and Olympia, he is being robbed.
Plus, it was a trap prepared by Clark.
And Mars rushed there.
“Mars, that won’t last long.”
Ishtar also activates her divine eye and looks at Mars, who is fighting fiercely with Gawain from afar. A large body measuring 3 m. Red armor, and two flames, a torch, and a hearth perched on both shoulders. Phrygia’s two great predecessors, Minerva and Mars.
And now the flame next to Mars.
The symbol of those hot flames is…
“Ceres, and Vesta. Those two are also fused.”
“Yes. It’s because of the threat Geumtaeyang made.”
“…Do you really have the power to kill all the humans there?”
“You better be careful, too. That guy survived after being poisoned by Hydra.”
“What?!”
Hydra’s poison.
Ancient demonic beast Hydra.
One of Typhon and Echidna’s children.
One of the demonic beasts killed by Alcaedes was the Nemean Lion, the white-headed serpent Hydra, the Sphinx, Orthos, Radon, and Eton, among whom he had a relationship and had a child.
They may be trapped somewhere in the Demon World, but that’s up to them to take care of it. Anyway, not only will I no longer come out into the world because I’ve seen all the trouble, but if I really want to come out and start a fight, I’ll just have to break my head.
The poison of the ancient demon beast Hydra, along with that of Jormungand, is an incredibly poisonous poison, and even Chiron accidentally stepped on it and became poisoned, so I will choose death! It is the poison that made him choose death.
But, you survived after being hit?
“What are you doing other than getting rid of it?”
Ishtar asked Gilgamesh why he didn’t get rid of it.
If it survived after being hit by that, it would be said to be a monster beyond imagination.
Of course Gilgamesh tilts his head and asks:
“?Why should I do that?”
“You threaten to kill me with that, but if you fuse that with magic and spread it, you’re not saying you can massacre humans! That’s how Mars came down!”
Oh, really.
Have you come to care for humans after spending such a long time here? I don’t know whether to laugh at this or not.
Gilgamesh said that this self-indulgent goddess still looks like a god, and she does it for a while.
“Don’t worry. That was a lie to begin with.”
“Huh? Ka?”
“…When you don’t know if it’s real or not, it’s a dilemma of whether or not to wait and see that if it’s real, a lot of people could die. Hehe-“
If it doesn’t come out, it’s fine as long as it doesn’t come out.
Gilgamesh couldn’t help but admire Clark’s cleverness.
Threat.
In other words, if you ignore the threat to spread poison, the faith in the gods in the area will decrease as you ignore it, and if you come out, you can kill enemies who oppose you.
It doesn’t matter whether it comes out or not.
In any case, Clark had no intention of letting those who opposed him live, and that was a truth that would never change no matter who came and begged for it.
The only truth.
It becomes impossible to tell whether it’s true or not, and if it’s true, huge damage is expected, and if you don’t come out and ignore the cries of your followers.
Why does a god exist that no one needs?
The dilemma is used to diminish the omnipotence, divinity, and status of the gods.
From beginning to end, it seems that Clark acted with the intention of completely destroying the gods of Olympia, but seeing as he was surprised that Mars came down with the combined powers of two goddesses besides himself, Ceres and Vesta, it seems that he did not know that he would really come down.
But Ilias spoke her words-
Clark listens to those words.
And Mars was grappling with Gawain, and even though it looked like he was about to break, he tenaciously got up and faced Mars. The time when he first threw away Mars’ huge sword –
The magic sword in Gawain’s left hand, Barisarda, shines and cuts through Mars’ thick shield.
Did you say that the magic sword was made by Clark?
Hmm.
What a waste.
If I hadn’t given it as a gift, it would have added more collectibles to my treasure chest.
It is a weapon so superior that it ignores defense and can reach even gods.
“Mars, why – why on a mortal?”
“Of course. Because I was beaten by Jupiter.”
Jupiter.
The intolerant playboy of Olympia.
A rare asshole who had his dick ripped off by a hunting dog while playing around with it carelessly.
He tried and failed to kill young Clark, losing his powers as a result.
Thor of Asgard touched his priestess and they are still arguing with him to this day.
He knew very well that it was dangerous for him and did not allow him to go down on such a subject. Because he thought Clark was going to kill him. He committed a rare act of irrationality by ordering his followers to use the commonly known [Eokka], Which he openly intended to kill, and poisoning the Eda Hydra in the entire territory.
Still, he refused the cries of his believers and tried to prevent them from going down.
Mars objected.
In the end, it incurred the wrath of Jupiter, and its armor cracked after being hit by [Astrape: Keraunos].
And other goddesses who disobeyed it.
Ceres, and Vesta.
The gods who protect the home and are responsible for abundance and the well-being of mankind came down to kill the Golden Sun and save their followers and those who desperately call out to them.
“What a pitiful and pitiful person.”
Will that dedication pay off?
No,
Just like Gilgamesh, Clark already knows the outcome.
The end is a terrible betrayal, and if you can maintain your innocence despite that.
…
After that, we will be able to create a new history.
Kaaaaa!!
“Keuheuk-“
Marth coughs up blood from his helmet.
The shield splits, and Barisarda’s blade cuts open the wound again. And even though Gawain is covered in blood, he never backs down from Mars. All I do is give Gawain some sunlight.
Just as humans need sunbathing, Gawain, who has returned once again as the Holy Knight of the Sun, also needs sunbathing.
“You… Are quite good.”
Is this the beginning of the final phase?
The shield splits, and Mars grabs his sword with both hands at the same time.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■!!!!
And cheer up.
A spirit so strong that the heavens and earth shake.
Flames on both shoulders.
Those flames are also divinity, and each one is a different divinity. Naturally, we see that power inhabiting Mars’ body.
Flames begin to burn throughout the body, and even the helmet catches fire.
Wow.
It’s getting really hot.
They say I work with flames too, and this thing is really hot.
It’s as bright as a candle before it goes out.
“It is the same for both of us, who were unable to exert their proper strength in the underground waterway. Yes, warrior. I accept you. The second and third time, you mortal who wounded me, Gawain – why do you follow him? What kind of being is he? “You know this, but you’re blocking my path. Why are you waiting for this, warrior, to kill humans?”
“If punishing those who deserve to be punished is wrong, I will stand in your way as many times as I can, Mars.”
“…It’s not the Golden Sun that should punish you!”
Yeah, I agree on that point.
Of course, I agree.
Just like I said to my adoptive father, the victim is not able to complete revenge properly. Of course, that’s true if it’s superficial.
I need to make a correction about that.
“Oh, I don’t care if they get the right punishment or not. I’m just trying to get it because I’m a dick. I almost got it and they tried to get me to get it, but their opinion doesn’t matter. I want someone to give the perpetrator a fair sentence. “It’s not like I’m looking at you as a bastard asking for something.”
“Aren’t you planning on killing everyone, even those who have nothing to do with it!!”
…That was a lie in the first place.
Anyway, if I just kill all the bastards who tried to attack me right here, that’s what I’m going to do! It doesn’t really matter if you misunderstand it because it has become a saying. If nothing else, they probably don’t even know their bodies are dying.
No matter what I do, the bastards who tried to kill me will die anyway.
From the time I blew them away with a magical explosion, they were already poisoned and would melt into a handful of blood whenever I detonated the detonator.
And at the same time, if no matter how much you call him, he doesn’t come out, if you build up resentment towards the god who doesn’t come out no matter how much you call him –
I was preparing a trap to lower their status through this.
After discussions with Akashic Records and Ilias, it was one of the tasks to weaken the enemies I had to deal with.
Apollo, Diana, Venus. Eros and Mercurius are also falling, and of course I am still wary of them as well.
Quaaaaa!!
Once again, the Holy Sword of the Sun and Barisarda clash.
Granted to Varisarda.
Due to the [Concept] Of penetrating [Defense], Even the armor of God cannot restore the advantage of that defense.
And it was a bloody battle between Mars, who spewed out more flames and wielded the three-colored flame sword, and Gawain, who struck back.
Ppajik-
I can hear it in my ears.
And it can already be heard by those who are watching this fight.
I already noticed, and Ilias noticed too.
The cracks in Mars’ armor are widening.
It wasn’t even due to Gawain’s attack.
The reason is Jupiter’s thunderbolt located there.
It is a wound caused by [Astrape: Keraunos].
Well, that’s good.
“It’s getting a little boring, but if it seems like the final decision is too late, what… I’ll kill them all first?”
Spreads a poisonous cloud.
And before throwing it at the tied up guys-
“If you want to stop it, try subduing Gawain. Then, shall we go?”
Just when I was about to raise my finger and direct the poison cloud towards the people who stabbed me.
The light shines in Mars’ eyes.
“I can’t leave it like that!!!!!”
Quaaaaa!!
“Big!?”
And Gawain flies next to me.
Oh wow.
And Gawain’s eyes are filled with resentment, asking me if I’m teabagging there.
Sorry, Brother Gawain.
But, without doing this, I don’t know the truth of this.
As expected, if a god gives his best, is it still too much for him to not be able to fully adapt to the power of Ilias? I’ll have to spar with Gawain later.
I’m telling you to adapt.
Naturally, it sounds louder in my ears.
Pakak-
It’s bigger this time.
Cracks starting from the waist.
And then, the three-colored sword of Mars that was shining in red, orange, and green, which was about to strike at me, crashed down next to me-
Mars’ waist is cut in half.
Well, of course.
“…Are they really so important to you that you disobeyed your father’s orders and came down?”
And the hope of being able to live becomes despair.
And then the moment comes when it turns into anger.
“This is useless-“
Ah, as expected.
Fuck it, fuck it, never change.
“…Kkkk-“
A brown-haired god burning with black flame.
Almost everything is on fire.
According to Jupiter’s orders, Youngji Carlos poisoned Clark, diluted the poison and spread it widely, leaving a message to Clark that there was an antidote and that he should take it.
I thought I could easily lead Clark to death.
But…
That monster overcame the poison.
He made the poison his own and adapted to it.
Ha, really.
And he is dying.
The black flame that carries Mortus’ power does not go out, and he himself continues to die.
Wee.
If it’s just for a little while…
Clark, I will not hand over complete victory to that damn bastard.
And what caught his eye.
The blonde-haired youngest son of the Cherpitz family who is poisoned by the poison he sprayed, the poison of Hydra.
Next to him, he sees what appears to be an antidote.
…
Now I know that there is an antidote, that there is a being who can decipher it, but what does that mean?
The important thing is-
It just so happens that there is a good [Host].
