Chapter 14 Monkey Joy (Newbies please read it!!!)

14. Monkey is happy
——Let’s turn back the time a little.

Fuyuki City, downtown, the center of pollution—

When people are killed, they die - this is wrong.

In the celestial world (Chaldeas), this kind of common sense does not exist.

The so-called celestial world (Chaldeas) can be called a different world without any problem, but in the final analysis, it is fundamentally different from the general material world.

The source substance that constitutes the celestial world is not the atoms of matter.

The essence of the celestial world is "information" and "information".

It's difficult to explain the 'information that makes up the world', but there's an easy-to-understand metaphor: data.

Computer world, data world, virtual world, spirit world, digital world

The existence of the celestial world is like an ultra-high-density data compression ball, which in turn forms something like a pseudo-black hole with self-awareness.

If the celestial world is used as a weapon, it would be like pushing a black hole to devour and decompose the target.

But for the countless creatures living in the celestial world, there seems to be no difference between here and the ordinary world.

However, there are always some special beings who can see through the data nature and operating logic of the celestial world.

Will a person die if he is killed?

No.

The correct answer is: In the celestial world, after a person is 'killed', he will be thrown into the 'recycling bin'.

Beings with abilities similar to those of a spirit particle hacker (magician version of a computer hacker) can reverse this process and achieve 'restoration of local files' - that is, 'resurrection'.

If you really want to kill someone, you have to go a step further and empty the Recycle Bin.

If you want to completely destroy an existence, you need to format it.

of course.

If the being you kill does not have the ability of a 'spiritual hacker' and cannot 'restore local files' on its own, then sending a person to the Recycle Bin is almost the same as killing him.

--but

It is obvious that Gilgamesh, who possesses the skills of 'Clairvoyance' and 'Omniscient Star', has such an ability.

If you want to kill him in the digital world, you should at least send him to the Recycle Bin and then "empty the Recycle Bin".

Shirou and Musashi were unaware of these rules, nor did they know that Gilgamesh possessed abilities similar to the Spirit Hacker, so they only managed to "send it to the recycling bin."

However, the time that the soul data was in the recycling bin did allow Gilgamesh to calm down a little after his defeat.

The conflict started out from Gilgamesh's curiosity about Miyamoto Musashi, a person with a strange "time traveler's physique".

Just try it out at first.

But things changed after the seven-year-old 'Emiya Shirou' - who did not yet have the last name Emiya - got involved.

The feud between Gilgamesh and Shirou Emiya, a wholesaler of counterfeit goods, in various world lines has been going on for a long time.

In countless world lines, different types of Shirou and different types of Gilgamesh have had various conflicts for various reasons.

Originally, Gilgamesh's attitude towards Emiya Shirou should be: "I'm tired of seeing all those tricks of yours (even though I've hardly ever won)."

However, Gilgamesh was still furious when the conflict with the seven-year-old Shirou of this celestial world just broke out.

Angry to the point of losing control of emotions.

The reason is related to a person. No, rather than a person, it is related to the existence called 'Enkidu'.

——Let’s talk about the story of Gilgamesh
In ancient Mesopotamian legends, two-thirds of the heroes were gods and one-third were human.

According to the Epic of Gilgamesh (← still undergoing archaeological updates), it is said that Gilgamesh as a child was an ideal human being loved and expected by everyone, including the gods.

However, for some unknown reason, this child grew up to be a tyrant.

Gilgamesh was called a tyrant.

Just because he did not believe in gods, he displayed the gods' art to the world with human hands. Simply because of the reason that "I don't need gods that are useless to humans or even harmful to humans", he disrespected and even expelled the gods from his city many times, and then intended to build a more glorious new city with human hands.

This is an absolutely heinous act. Human beings must rely on gods to survive and prosper. This is the basic logic of the age of gods. Going against this is tantamount to betrayal.

No matter how much people tried to persuade the king, he would not yield. Instead, he became more irritable, cruel and impatient in the process. He would even scold humans and gods who he considered unqualified as "bastards".

TMD! Next is the era of humans, an era where humans can create great things with their own hands without relying on gods. Why can't you fools understand? ?

God can build the grand projects that humans desire out of thin air according to their wishes, but that is just a "projection" that degrades human dreams. How can such a "fake" that takes shortcuts compare to the wonders (real things) built brick by brick by human hands! ?
What made Gilgamesh even more furious was something that had accompanied him throughout his entire teenage years: he was good at "making props (forging, civil engineering)" - from small items like various accessories, civilian tools, magical weapons to large items like various water conservancy projects, etc. - every time he designed and polished and refined them with his own hands, the people around him would praise him for the "wisdom bestowed by God".

Am I a hybrid of a human and a god or are you guys hybrids?!
In order to persuade such a cruel young king, the goddess Aluru blew air to the soil somewhere, and it gained life in the wind and was named "Enkidu".

Although Enkidu is a puppet created by the gods, he is also a spirit of the earth that is in harmony and integration with nature.

To be more precise, it is God who molded the spirit of the earth into his own image and endowed it with a way of thinking similar to that of God.

At first, Enkidu ran freely in the fields and forests like a wild animal.

Later, under the guidance of the gods, Enkidu met a kind and saintly prostitute, and gained humanity, wisdom, and the appearance of a human being.

Enkidu and Gilgamesh were destined to meet and to clash, because Gilgamesh, who had driven away the gods, intended to build a larger city, and would definitely need to obtain wood from the forest and soil from the earth for refining.

As the gods wished, a conflict broke out between Enkidu and Gilgamesh.

As a manifestation of nature and a spirit of a planet (celestial spirit), Enkidu, who can freely change his appearance and power, would definitely stop Gilgamesh, teach him a lesson for his lawless and tyrannical personality, and then let him seek help from the gods and bow his head.

But the final result was something the gods could not have expected.

There were indeed numerous conflicts between Gilgamesh and Enkidu, but in the end, the two became friends, and the tyrant Gilgamesh was even willing to share power with him.

After that, the two even joined hands to defeat the forest demon Humbaba and obtained "all the treasures in the world".

——It’s probably this story

No.

wrong.

To be more precise, 'such stories have been passed down'.

As we all know, stories will be distorted in the process of being passed down, and the stories that are passed down are often very different from the actual situation.

For example, the story of Gilgamesh and Enkidu was passed down through the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the person who wrote this book was the goddess of wisdom - Siduri.

Although this story was passed down in later generations, Gilgamesh knew that Siduri was not actually a goddess, but just the chief priest in charge of education under him and his childhood sweetheart. At the same time, Siduri herself also beautified a lot in the process of writing this story (although the main beautification object was actually their urban goddess Ishtar).

Although the beginning and ending of the story of Gilgamesh and Enkidu are basically correct, the process and specific events in the middle contain a lot of Spring and Autumn style writing.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu fought many times, even when Enkidu was still a "monster" and had not yet acquired humanity. Each battle was particularly brutal.

Gilgamesh's initial impression of Enkidu was extremely bad.

That 'monster (Enkidu)' knew the weather, the terrain, changes, and the movement of stars, but he did not have human nature and wisdom, and could not communicate.

Fighting with it is brutal or not. What is even more disgusting is that it has no "self" and will constantly "analyze" the object it is fighting with during the battle, continuously obtain the power of others, and project it onto itself for its own use.

"Damned fake!" King Gilgamesh was furious.

Rather than being a monster (creature), it is more like a special combat weapon aimed at humans and the civilization established by humans.

Every time he fought with it, Gilgamesh felt that everything about him was being dissected by it. Even if Gilgamesh continued to practice or create new weapons in order to defeat it, he would still be taken away by this damn "fake" during the battle!
The real story behind Siduri's story of Enkidu coming into contact with a divine prostitute and gaining humanity and wisdom is actually this:
At that time, the monster Enkidu was so dangerous that it was not just aimed at Gilgamesh, but directly threatened the safety of all humans in Uruk.

The basic livelihood operations of human society - planting, animal husbandry, hunting, construction and so on - will all be regarded by the monster Enkidu as "threats to nature" and attacked.

The most powerful King Gilgamesh tried his best but was unable to defeat him. Although it was a draw every time, everyone could see that although the king was getting stronger, Enkidu was also getting stronger (projection).

At that time, many temple staff believed that this was not going to work, and that they should ask the gods for help, even if they had to bypass the king.

However, Ishtar, the goddess of fertility and abundance, the deity of Uruk (Gilgamesh's capital), took the opportunity to demand an exorbitant price.

Whether it was Enkidu's threat or the tribute demanded by the goddess, the people of Uruk could not accept it. The former and the latter were both tantamount to a catastrophe.

The goddess believed that humans, who were protected by noble spirits, were like wheat. It was natural to harvest them regularly, as there would always be another crop after each one.

The conflict between Gilgamesh and the goddess Ishtar was also difficult to ease.

Just when the people of Uruk were in a dilemma, a sacred prostitute stood up - or to be more precise, she ran away secretly.

With a noble belief in self-sacrifice, she went alone into the depths of the forest to look for Enkidu.

The prostitute thought that since Enkidu had the ability to imitate, learn, and plunder any creature that appeared before him, then instead of sending out warriors to attack it, if she, who had no ill intentions, went, she might be able to use its ability and sacrifice herself to Enkidu.

Enkidu, who has gained everything he has, may calm down, or become able to communicate with humans, and there is no need to continue fighting endlessly.

The idea was naive, but miraculously, she actually did it.

Human courage creates miracles.

Although Siduri, a priestess, described this story as a prostitute being guided by the gods, the relationship between Uruk and the gods was extremely bad at that time, which was objectively impossible.

In short, Enkidu obtained everything from the girl, including her humanity, wisdom, thoughts, body - and perhaps even the name Enkidu.

As for where the prostitute went, no one knows. Maybe she disappeared, or maybe she merged with Enkidu.

In short, after that, the battle between Enkidu and Gilgamesh continued, but the difference from before was that Enkidu, who had gained humanity, understood Gilgamesh's thoughts and the reasons why he insisted on becoming a tyrant more and more during the battle.

Ultimately, Enkidu, who was able to understand Gilgamesh’s heart, became Gilgamesh’s literal soul friend.

Enkidu said, "I may not agree with all of your ideas, but I think you are fighting for the right reasons."

Gilgamesh said, "You are more dangerous than me, aren't you?!"

The two people who understood each other became each other's unique friends.

——That’s why

When Shirou of the celestial world burst out with extraordinary power, Gilgamesh, who was fighting with him, couldn't help but think of the past.

So it was extremely angry.

This anger was even several times greater when Gilgamesh, who was far away in another world line, was copied by Emiya Shirou's projection and his treasure was stolen!
Shirou certainly didn't know it at the time. After all, the author didn't know it at the time either.

Gilgamesh angrily called Shirou a "fake", which actually meant that in Gilgamesh's eyes at that time, Shirou in front of him was like a "fake" who was imitating and recreating the Enkidu in his memory.

It is not surprising that the proud King Gilgamesh, with his arrogant and twisted mind, would think this was an "offense to his best friend Enkidu".

But now Gilgamesh calmed down.

After calming down, Gilgamesh realized in the recycling station that his emotional fluctuations were probably more or less affected by the black mud (all the evil in this world).

——Speaking of which
Gilgamesh's clairvoyance and omniscience were ineffective against Shirou.

But what about going around in a circle?

Gilgamesh once again activated the Clairvoyance + Omniscience Star, targeting the celestial world itself, and conducted a data search for Shirou-related entries at the 'code' level!
Gilgamesh opened the search bar of the Omniscient Star and entered the keyword 'Shirou Emiya of the Celestial World'.
[Gilgamesh uses his skill 'Clairvoyance and Omniscience' to try to obtain information about Shirou by searching for keywords on Chaldeas.]

[Difficulty: 150]

[Gilgamesh's 'Clairvoyance EX': 1D100=91]

[Gilgamesh's 'Omniscient and Omnipotent Star EX': 1D100=70]

[Total: 161＞150]

【success! 】

Gilgamesh successfully retrieved information about Shirou from Chaldeas!

Chaldea, Subservient, Son Goku
“Hahahahahahahahaha!!!”

After truly figuring out the origins of Shirou in this celestial world, King Gilgamesh couldn't help but burst into an extremely wild laugh.

Pleasure.

So enjoyable!

This feeling!

I thought it was just a being with abilities similar to Enkidu, but I didn't expect that there was actually a certain connection!

Is that a very distant relative?

Or is it reincarnation? An existence with a similar fate?
So that's how it is. Gilgamesh finally figured out what the "extra emotion" that he couldn't understand at the time and just felt restless in his chest was when he was fighting with Shirou.

That's right.

"This meeting is a joy!"
