I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

That is--

"Hahahaha—it's finally here, God of War!" the traveler laughed heartily. "Then there's no need to suppress your laughter!"

"Full activation of restraint mechanisms! Blaz Blue fully unleashed!" The traveler unleashed Blaz Blue with all his might.

What the traveler saw was the God of War launching an unparalleled attack—a divine strike—against his allies.

The most skilled races, each possessing their own trump cards—or rather, the energy enough to burn up the entire continent—clashed with the released divine strike, yet even so, they could not neutralize it—thus creating a violent vortex.

The power born outside of common sense is dazzling and not only destroys the world, but also wreaks havoc and ravages it.

Void Zero Blessing—a technique that causes the core of a Fantasy Species to self-destruct, forcibly releasing its power. In nature, a single strike is enough to annihilate the power of multiple Fantasy Species. The Forest Elf fired all eighteen of its available bullets.

At this moment, the goblin species, whose marrow bursts were comparable to the attack, also unleashed all twelve of their attacks. In addition, eight dragon spirits, in accordance with their pact, sacrificed their lives and unleashed eight devastating roars.

That kind of energy conflict is more than enough!

The traveler rushed forward like a moth drawn to a flame, and his arm glowed with a clear blue light.

That wasn't very noticeable in those energy conflicts, but—

It's best if no one notices!

The life-threatening situation caused the Traveler's [Exceptional Protection] to be activated to its maximum extent, and the magic circle unleashed by the Azure Spellbook perfectly devoured that energy in an instant!

The traveler grinned.

"What is that!?" Then all the races discovered the tiny figure.

The traveler smiled happily.

What is it? Why not just experience it for yourself?

However, the object of personal experience is not here.

The immense energy made him feel like he was being inflated like a balloon, and he felt an intense pain as if he were about to explode.

So he needed to vent.

His body vanished instantly from the spot. After absorbing all the energy, the traveler disappeared into that world.

……

tread--

Unknown space.

No, it is not unknown to the traveler.

A year's worth of intelligence information disseminated throughout the world, combined with Jibril's intelligence, Shubi's perfect calculations, and the assistance provided by Rick.

This place is without a doubt the location of Artes, the god of the Skywing race and the god of war!

The traveler looked at Althu, his whole body filled with murderous intent.

Still defiant and unruly, the being with fierce golden eyes propped up its cheeks as if it were perfectly natural.

"—Permission granted. Please state your name."

Just one sentence was enough to make the space shake.

But the traveler was not frightened.

"A name? That means nothing to me."

"If you want my current name, just call me Traveler."

“Traveler…traveler…” God of War Artesius stood up. “Was this journey pleasant?”

“Ha, maybe.” The traveler raised his right hand. “However, I’m reminded of the best things that some of our predecessors did.”

"Hmm?" The traveler's ambiguous words made Alteshu frown.

“My predecessors…were known as…” The traveler grinned, revealing a lewd and impolite smile, “Godslayers!”

"So, prepare to die! War God Arthut!"

The traveler's right arm transformed completely into blue light, and in that instant, a beam of blue light pierced straight through the head of the God of War, Artesius—

“The Spear of Longinus…this is the strike.” The traveler’s face showed exhaustion. “You are the strongest, that’s true, but you are also the weakest.”

"What's the meaning……"

The God of War, Artesius, looked at the traveler.

“Despising the weak is never a right that the strong should have…” The traveler pointed to himself with his thumb. “There is a saying in my hometown that even a lion needs to use its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Your contempt for the weak only proves that you are just a weak person clinging to your own strength.”

"Goodbye, God-like Artesu."

After the traveler finished speaking, the skill that granted him the concept of the Spear of Longinus completely erased Altshu's existence.

The God of War, Artesius, lay on the ground, his body continuously dissolving in blue light.

The traveler's golden, lifeless left eye lit up, then dimmed again.

The body of the God of War was dissolved by a gift from a certain world to the traveler. As long as the traveler grants a skill called "Concept", then the "Concept" will come true.

However, it can only be used once in a world.

That's why the traveler has endured until now.

"...If I had had the Blaz Blue a year ago, I wouldn't have paid such a high price to defeat Jibril," the traveler said with some regret.

"Then, let's begin the final blow—"

The traveler's figure reappeared on the battlefield.

"This attack doesn't need any conceptual explanation—" the traveler laughed, "[Star Destroyer Cannon]—Fire!"

The energy cannons unleashed by the traveler possessed the power to burn continents to ashes and even turn planets into scorched earth.

It transformed completely into a beam of light, piercing through the planet.

It penetrated the core of the planet and even destroyed the Elven Corridor.

The entire crust was ripped up—the primordial current of the Elf Corridor erupted from the pierced star core.

Its immense energy—as if the force just released was merely a prick with a needle.

A power sufficient to constitute a world—and also sufficient to erase it without a trace—was unleashed.

As the traveler was engulfed by that power—he saw it.

It was a multifaceted dodecahedron, shaped like a star, with pentagrams emerging like rays of light—the Star Cup.

It manifests in the place where all the forces of liberation are contracted.

That is, they will only appear next to the true winner.

"What a pity... I am not the so-called victor..." The traveler closed his eyes and smiled, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

After unleashing all the power, the side effects of breaking the rules appeared.

The traveler has lost his sense of smell and it is estimated that it will take several months to recover.

"Hey, God of Games!" the traveler cried out, "I know you're here! No matter what happens next... please pass this on! Let war never happen again!"

The traveler reached out and gouged out his left eye.

His left eye also has another ability...

To seize.

He seized the essence of the God of War and gave it to the person he wanted to give it to.

The traveler laughed, his body emitting phosphorescence, and a complex expression appeared on his face.

That was an expression that showed both a desire to laugh and a desire to cry.

A person walked towards the Star Cup in the light; that person's appearance was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before.

Wearing a large hat, with diamond and spade eyes, he was a boy I had never seen before.

"Finally, please tell Rick and Shubi..." the traveler smiled, but tears welled up in his eyes involuntarily, "Be happy! Forever and ever, be happy!"

The traveler had completely disappeared.

He left this world.

Everyone in the world witnessed that scene.

Therefore, those are among the very few historical facts that have been preserved in the records.

First, light enveloped the world.

The light, spreading from a distant place, dyed the red sky and blue earth white, stealing the boundary between heaven and earth.

When the silent, spreading light stopped, the world instantly lost its color.

Looking out at the sky and the earth, everyone was puzzled, and then it took them a moment to realize what was happening.

The ash drifting in the sky remained suspended in the air, the flames of war forgot to tremble, and everything came to a standstill.

Even time itself. Everything stops except for those with life.

All the creatures, bewildered by that scene, were left behind, a few moments later.

The impact engulfed the world.

Clearly different from destruction—a gentle force moves about as if licking the world.

At the same time, people looking up at the sky opened their eyes wide.

Faced with this extraordinary sight, all creatures and races could only gaze at it in bewilderment.

……

"Hey... what are you talking about!" Rick slammed his fist on the stone wall. "We made a promise, didn't we? You promised you'd live, didn't you?"

“Ric…”

Hughie didn't know how to comfort Rick, so she just patted Rick's back gently.

"Should we listen to his last words?"

As the voice rang out, Rick looked into the darkness.

A boy wearing a big hat, with diamond and spade eyes, is looking here.
