Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 825 The Angry Dragon Roar
Armies clenched his fists and looked at the ceiling with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Did Enlil know that the trap he used to lure Tiamat had first ensnared his own son?

With a blank expression, Almes carefully stored away some of the special resources in the vault, including the adamantite plate that Gilgamesh had once paid special attention to but had now suddenly forgotten. He then nimbly left the vault in the center.

After thinking it over carefully, he turned around and pushed open the last treasure vault.

Then he blinked and said to Gilga, who had suddenly flown behind him, "Why don't you go take a look first?"

Gilga gave him a haughty glance and stormed through the gate.

Armies tilted his head and glanced at the fourth vault, which was ajar.

As expected, Gilga already knew about this place.

It's not that he doesn't want to take these things, it's that he can't.

Even if Almes had been Enlil's son, he couldn't have picked up a single gold coin unless he entered with Enlil's key.

That's what makes law-abiding beings so terrifying.

Other gods also set up various strict rules, but only those who embody the laws cannot break them by force.

Even if it's Asmodeus who comes in, he'll have to grab the key first.

However... this one-time rule, once triggered, will not take effect again.

In other words, if Gilgamesh wanted to share the property with Armies, he would have to get those who had been brought in by the key to put away the treasure first.

That's why he retreated because of Hermes' presence.

After all, regardless of whether Hermes was stronger than him, that was enough to preserve a certain degree of freedom for Almes, preventing him from becoming Gilgamesh's tool.

Gilga’s intuition, while somewhat flawed, wasn’t actually that far off.

Indeed, he only used his intuition on his own feelings, but if his nature and intelligence weren't so terrible, his intuition system wouldn't have reached this level.

The most famous intuitive god is Serene of Toril!
That woman was also someone who only cared about her own happiness.

But at least she has a broader perspective and won't be petty about small gains.

Besides, Serene also has the right to be willful.

What does Gilga have?
Intuition corrupted by greed?
Armes turned his head to look at the faint starlight on the side of the hall, then looked at Gilga, who was looking around in the last treasure vault... and slowly counted in his mind.

"No!" Before he could even count to ten, Gilga burst out like a whirlwind. "These jewel-crafted artifacts are quite nice, but... how could Enlil only collect such ordinary things?"

His eyes fell on the first door: "Why is that door closed too? Aren't all your people hidden in the second treasure vault?"
Go open it!

Armies hesitated and said, "The things there are the kind that are best left hidden from the light of day... Don't... it's too dangerous, it's best not to touch them!"

"Ha~ That's for trash like you!" Gilga straightened his chest and pointed at the door without hesitation. "Open it! Let me see what's so great about it!"

After delaying for a few more minutes and confirming that Enlil, who had been watching over them, had no intention of stopping them, Armes finally dawdled and walked to the door.

Although Gilga shouted fiercely, he wasn't entirely without any sense of caution.

Bronze armor appeared on his body, and a bolt of lightning appeared on his hand. Behind him, a luxurious diamond pyramid faintly emerged.

Yes, this is a pyramid made of real gold and inlaid with giant diamonds.

Armies seemed to understand why he was drawn to the last two treasure vaults.

In the last treasure vault, enormous astral diamonds were piled up almost like a small hill.

Although Enlil had already chosen to abandon Gilga, he still gave his foolish son one last chance.

Even if Gilga took everything from those two warehouses, Armes probably wouldn't care too much.

After all, given his already substantial capital, the contents of the first two warehouses were more in line with his requirements.

But if you're still not satisfied with getting this much and insist on settling old scores... then...

Armies shook his head slightly, pushed open the door forcefully, quickly turned around, and stood in front of the third door.

Hermes nimbly moved in front of him, and a winged staff with two serpents appeared in his hand, erecting a transparent blue barrier in front of them.

"Ahhhh!"

"My God!"

"Holy crap!"

Mrs. Yages stood up in surprise, turning to look at the three little dragons who had fled behind her sofa in fright: "What's wrong?"

“That’s! Tiamat’s Dragon Fang!” Lily groaned. “We can’t look at the screen anymore. The most important thing now is to avoid being seen by her!”

Yagris paused for a moment, then immediately turned around: "Smart..."

“Don’t worry, although I appear to be in front of you, I am actually in another dimension,” Smart replied calmly. “As long as they don’t look up and Tiamat on the other side doesn’t sense it, it’s fine.”

That has nothing to do with whether my quarantine was successful or not.

It's a congenital defect of the five-colored dragon.

They are still direct descendants of Tiamat, so their connection will only be stronger.

Tiamat could even see herself reflected in their eyes on the screen.

Mrs. Yages understood and sighed helplessly: "I see, everything is fine, right?"
"What if it were Lori who was here?" "Master Lori doesn't have the blood of the five-colored dragon, so he's not affected at all," Smart replied quickly.

“Then…” Yagris thought for a moment, “Let’s take the three of them to the sunroom on Lori’s floor!”

That place is closer to the Lord of Storms, so it should be better.

“Yes, madam,” Smart replied. “I will inform Chesca immediately.”

Soon, the floorboard behind Lady Yages's seat spun up with three small dragons and rushed directly into the opened ceiling.

The trembling little dragons remained silent.

"Bang!"

"Oh!"

“┗|｀O′|┛Aww~~~”

A furious howl, accompanied by a violent impact, crashed into the originally sealed treasure vault.

We should thank Gilga for spending so many years digging a breach; otherwise, the place where the living feather was hiding wouldn't have been so safe.

Even with immense strength, Tiamat wouldn't necessarily seek out a more solid place to crash into when there's a gap in its defenses.

The half of the wall that had just been cut open with a crack has now completely collapsed.

Sand and gravel flew everywhere amidst the omnipresent hurricane in the noisy tunnel, the sky darkened, and dust billowed.

A gigantic figure, riding on a soaring yellow dragon, fiercely squeezed into the hall.

As soon as she regained her footing, her red head in the center unleashed endless flames without restraint.

Gilga then realized what was happening, released his grip on the crown, and cried out in despair, "Tiamat! You! How did you get here?"

Even the Five-Colored Dragon Queen couldn't help but laugh: "Huh? You're fiddling with my teeth and then asking me why I came?"

Those who court death are truly idiots.

Idiots deserve to die even more!
Oh! Another one of Enser's idiots!

Her blue head, which was positioned to the side, suddenly transformed into yellow and then spewed scorching sand at Gilga.

It seems that she, who had spent a long time in Enser, has not forgotten the lightning attribute of the God King Enser.

They simply replaced the blue dragon head, which was skilled at using lightning bolts, with a yellow dragon head that spews high-temperature sand jets.

Tiamat, with a look of deep resentment on her face, launched an attack using a five-headed rotation without hesitation, giving Gilgamesh no opening whatsoever.

While Gilga's combat strength wasn't particularly high, his defensive capabilities were quite impressive.

It was thanks to the pyramids that appeared that they withstood the entire attack.

Armies was somewhat curious.

Even if the original form of this thing was left to him by Enlil, Gilga actually had enough divine power to support it...

While he was still pondering, Tiamat discovered the truth first: "You actually burned the souls of your own followers as a supplement to your divine power?"

She said, somewhat dumbfounded, "No wonder the Enser people have been joining my Dragon Worship Cult all these years, are you crazy?"
You didn't slip from neutrality to evil?

“I didn’t force them to do anything for me,” Gilga said with a smug smile. “And I certainly didn’t force any non-believers.”

They borrowed so much divine power from me, and when I need it, I will naturally have to return it.

But I only made them pay back a portion of it!

Armies's lips twitched.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky again... How could Enlil have tolerated him until now?

Isn't this just targeting their own people?

How could he say something so stupid with such pride?

Of course, Almes would not sympathize with Enser's Gilga followers.

Since Enlil's fall, his legal system, established by the Enlil Code of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," has been utterly corrupted by his son's followers.

The priests of Gilga allowed nobles to do whatever they pleased, including breaking agreements, confiscating property, murder, and other heinous crimes, in order to acquire land, power, wealth, or anything else that was tempting.

Moreover, in order to win Gilga's favor, they created an unbelievable number of daily religious rituals.

If the Enser people really lived their lives according to these rituals, they probably wouldn't have time to live at all.

The priests were not unaware of how much of a burden these rituals were for ordinary people, so they did not really require everyone to live according to those rules.

However, they can use the pretext of 'disrespecting the gods' to blackmail unfortunate people whose wealth they have their eyes on.

Just as Tiamat said, the Dragon Cult she created, which had caused great harm to Enser, was originally the most difficult to promote in Enser.

As a result, thanks to Gilga and his priests, the country became the most prosperous.

The true nature of the Dragon Worship Cult is the Death Worship Cult!
