I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"Lower your heads! Pay homage to the king! Your posture is utterly vile!"

As if exerting immense pressure, when Jill reached out, the immense pressure slammed the iron ball, which was inlaid with countless "human faces," hard onto the floor.

In just one exchange, he easily defeated two phosphorus particles.

Incidentally, both of the guys in front of us were pinned to the floor, with more than half of their volume sunk beneath it.

“…Why…could it be…also a disciple…” The puppet at Jill’s feet uttered this sound.

“Disciple? Sorry, I’m not the kind of vile person who needs to strip others of their existence to survive.” Gil sneered. “It’s just sealing away, I can do that too.”

"Seal it off!" In the next moment, the crimson world turned golden.

"How is this possible... Could it be Flame Haze...! That gauntlet... is..." Iron Ball screamed in alarm.

The term "Flame Haze" refers to the "Flame Haze Warriors".

That is the collective term for ability users who fight against the "Crimson Denizens" who disrupt the balance of the world. In order to prevent the expansion of the "Distorted World", they are humans who decide to fight alongside the Crimson Denizens and make a contract with the "Crimson Denizens", dedicating their past, present and future to the king as vessels and acting as the king's agents in the present world.

"Oh?"

Jill chuckled.

Flame Haze? Crimson Denizen?

“What is that?” Jill asked with a slight smile.

There wasn't a trace of murderous intent on his face, but the overwhelming killing intent emanating from him terrified both of them.

What was that murderous aura...?

"Don't think I'm someone to be trifled with, you bastards—tell your master..."

Jill's lips curled up. "I will personally go and play with him next. You guys are just the ones who dragged me into this place, and you even dared to look down on me. I'll give you a little punishment."

"Boost (charge) —"

"Transfer"

Gil sang softly.

Although he disliked meddling in other people's business, he couldn't bring himself to do something like the inhuman creature in front of him trying to harm humans.

It's not because I like humans, absolutely not. (denying face)

To deny someone's existence is more cruel than to kill that person.

In this world, everything is composed of the power of existence.

All matter exists because of the "power of existence." When humanity loses the power of existence, it simply ceases to exist. It's not just about dying; it's about never having existed in this world at all. All related knowledge, understanding, memories, and information (photos, written records, names) will disappear. When humanity is completely consumed and disappears, phenomena such as memory fading will also occur.

Therefore, taking away a person's existence is more terrifying than killing a person.

That would be tantamount to denying everything about this person's past.

“If your master ordered me to do this—I would kill him—”

"Disintegrate!" Jill reached out and slapped Phosphorus on the head at her feet.

The phosphorus particle's body immediately transformed into countless eerie blue specks of light, and then vanished.

“Well then, it’s your turn. Go back and deliver the message.” Jill kicked the ball over there. “Tell your master to wash his head, neck and all, very clean. I’ll personally retrieve it—”

Now that Jill has come to this world without the constraints of side quests, he's prepared to be more carefree and do whatever he wants.

Yes, that's how capricious he is. He said he would chop off the two traitors behind Phosphorus, and he will! He will show no mercy.

“Oh, right, and…” Jill’s lips curled into a smile, “Go tell your master—”

"The lost child is with me."

Jill looked at the struggling sphere with a cold expression.

"Get out of here. The next time we meet, you'll die with your master."

Jill kicked out and sent Phosphorus flying.

The next moment, Jill lifted the seal he had maintained, and the whole world instantly regained its color.

People are still walking, and people are still doing what they were supposed to do.

They had no idea that just moments ago, their very existence was about to be taken away.

Their past will be stripped away.

Among them were teenagers who were not yet adults, young people who had already entered society, middle-aged people who had been through many trials and tribulations, and old ladies.

Once their power of existence is taken away, they will be completely forgotten by the world.

Family, friends, children... everything will be forgotten.

All traces they left behind will be gone.

Jill sighed for a moment, then looked behind her. "You've been staring at me for a while now. Aren't you going to come out and have a chat, Flame Haze?"

Chapter 371 Traveler's Diary

"..." The girl stepped forward and stood in front of Jill.

The girl was about 140 centimeters tall, much shorter than Jill.

The girl's delicate and pretty features showed no trace of naivety or childishness. Although her face was expressionless, it was immediately apparent that it was not tense or stiff, but rather contained a firm and unwavering inner strength.

"...You sensed us—and were able to use the Sealing Technique, are you a newly emerged Fire Mist?"

A man's voice came from the jewelry the girl was wearing.

It was a dark sphere, about the size of a fingertip, surrounded by two intersecting gold rings. It looked like both a fine work of art and a sophisticated instrument.

"...Flame Mist... Ha, I'm not one of you, Crimson Lord and Nameless Girl," Gil sneered.

Jill had a vague feeling that something in this world had become connected to her, likely because she had obtained the Zero Hour Child.

However, he wasn't entirely sure either.

"Not Fire Mist—not a disciple either, then what are you?" the girl asked.

"Do we really have to distinguish everything?" Jill laughed. "But speaking of which, I did receive a commission."

His crimson eyes flickered. "It's related to the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter."

The girl's face became even more serious.

"you……"

“Yes, I did come to see you—” Jill nodded. “I’m doing this on someone’s behalf.”

"You... are very suspicious." The man's voice from the necklace rang out again.

indeed--

Because no matter who it is, if they reveal the other person's name on the first meeting and claim to be acting on behalf of someone else, it is highly suspicious no matter how you look at it.

Gil shrugged, a flash of golden light disappearing in an instant, and tossed the greatsword in his hand toward the girl.

Because he had been carrying it around all the time, Gilles felt a little uncomfortable without a scabbard, so he casually found a scabbard in the treasure vault and put it on the sword that Sakai Yuji had given him.

The girl reached out, took the greatsword, and looked at Gil with a strange expression.

"Well... as requested, the sword has been delivered. There's a second matter—"

Jill said, "That person told me to tell you your name—Shana."

"...Isn't it just the syllable of 'Niedono Zana'...wait—is this also 'Niedono Zana'!?" The girl exclaimed in shock.

"That's all I have to say," Jill said, then turned and left.

He didn't want to explain so much.

He came to this world only to retrieve the fragments of the world. Moreover, he is a rather carefree person. If it weren't for the side quests that restrained him in the previous worlds, who knows what kind of trouble he would have caused.

Because he's not exactly a peaceful guy, if he accidentally gets something dirty on his head, he might just go berserk and unleash a finishing blow from Enki that falls from the sky.

Jill thought about it for a moment and decided to do something that had been done in previous worlds.

Find a place to stay...

how to say……

There is a place to settle down in almost every world.

"Hmm, what's this?" Jill touched her coat pocket and then took out a book.

Traveler's Diary.

“…So many books…” Jill opened the diary.

……

[Date]

Today I have come to a new world.

It's a very strange place.

Humans were oppressed and huddled in the rock walls.

Fifteen races waged war against each other.

A substance harmful to living things is falling from the sky—that's called a spirit corpse.

However, those little guys are quite interesting. Rick... he must be a boy who can shoulder everything.

According to Otto's estimation, I have about twelve years left—I'm already quite content.

After all, the Ripple technique taught by Joseph and the "durability" bestowed by the High God have greatly extended my life.

Well, for the sake of these extra ten years, I won't die so easily—I'm still planning to stop Otto.

……

X month X day

Today, the spirit remains formed a storm—if it weren't for the treasure bestowed upon me by the King of Heroes, I probably wouldn't have survived. Although the Azure Spellbook has a way to stop the erosion, the cost is not small.

I have some ideas about the design of that thing proposed by the wise man.
