I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Chapter Forty-Five: The Final Battle - Son of Man, be bound to the gods!

“Is there no way to use the Enuma Elish?” Enkidu looked at Gil in the sky. “Gil, you made the wrong decision.”

"Have you forgotten? My Noble Phantasm is the one that counters yours..." Enkidu slightly opened his arms. "Let it begin... Awaken the breath of the stars. I will walk with humanity. Therefore—Son of Humanity, bind yourself to the gods (Enuma Elish)!"

The ability to transform Enkidu's body into a divinely created weapon.

It transforms into a nail of light, infusing it with the [restraining force] known as Alaya or Gaia.

Transforming immense energy into a form that the world can perceive, delivering a devastating blow to the opponent.

Its power increases dramatically depending on the amount of damage done to the planet or to humanity.

Enkidu was originally a weapon sent by the gods to bring Gilgamesh back to the side of the gods.

Gilgamesh was originally created as the "Wedge of Heaven" to prevent the separation of gods and humans, but he rebelled against the gods, and Enkidu's mission was to capture him and bring him back to heaven.

However, Enkidu became Gilgamesh's friend, causing this "chain that could bind even the heavens" to be used for humanity, just as a close friend had wished.

This Noble Phantasm, "Son of Man, bind yourself to the gods (Enuma Elish)," is a Purification Noble Phantasm!

Jill's ultimate sword, Enki, is, in a sense, part of the "purification" process.

The flood at Napishtim is like the flood of Noah in the Bible, or rather, it was God's way of punishing and "purifying" mankind.

Before using the Purification Treasure, Enuma Elish, Son of Man, it's like a moth drawn to a flame!

Jill was certainly aware of this, so he prepared for a second attack.

"Ah, I know." Jill looked at the indescribable cone of light. "So this attack was also prepared for you."

“Perhaps this sword wasn’t meant for use right now, but if my opponent is you, I’m willing to give it my all to fight you!” Gil put down the great bow in his hand. “Even these national-level treasures are no match for you.”

"That's why I'm going to give it my all." Jill gripped the other longsword in her hand tightly.

“Take this…” Gil looked at Enkidu, who had transformed into a cone of light.

"The evil dragon will surely fall, and the world will face its sunset! Shoot it down—"

Although it wasn't his own Noble Phantasm, Gilles was still able to unleash this dragon-slaying holy sword precisely because—

……

a few days ago.

“Why are so many of my Noble Phantasms unusable in the Gate of Babylon?” Jill asked.

"Because these treasures did not originally belong to the host, there are naturally conditions for unlocking them." The template's answer surprised Gilles slightly.

"Aside from the Noble Phantasms originally in the Gate of Babylon, the rest were added to the host by the template. Although many cannot be used, they can be used under certain conditions. As for the conditions... the template can only tell the host that these conditions are extremely demanding. Currently, the host can only fulfill the requirements for two Noble Phantasms."

"Then tell me."

"Yes, the illusionary trial begins—"

……

"Who knows what I went through... I was just pierced, torn apart, and experienced death several times—but it was quite an exciting adventure."

“Even so—even so!” Gil raised his greatsword. “My resolve cannot be defeated so easily! Fantasy Greatsword: Balmung!”

A cyan-blue light shot into the sky and collided directly with the light cone!

That was the power of the Dragon-Slaying Sword—

"This time, I'll win!" Jill roared, "Ughh ...

All magic was poured in! The powerful forces collided, triggering a nuclear explosion-like force!

In fact, if Gilles hadn't given Meteora a Noble Phantasm to strengthen her barrier beforehand, this clash of Noble Phantasms would have been enough to destroy the original city, not to mention the final sword Enki from earlier!

Simply put, this is two Noble Phantasms against one Noble Phantasm!

“Boom boom boom—”

All the cameras placed in this area have been destroyed; only cameras located very far away were able to capture the horrific explosion!

……

"What happened?" Altair and Serega both looked at the towering pillar of light in the distance.

"It seems the battle between the Hero King and his close friend is over," Altair said with a smile. "It seems our battle will continue."

"Tch!" Seresa looked at the distant sky, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

"Then let's continue. The King of Heroes should have already left the stage..."

……

"Cough cough...cough..." Gil lay on the ground, and Enkidu lay on the other side.

Even with the use of two Noble Phantasms, one of which was an exceptionally powerful one, the battle only ended in a draw.

Ah... this place really gives me a strong sense of déjà vu...

Are the memories within this body starting to resurface...?

"Don't you feel sorry for the treasures you've used up?"

Enkidu's words made Gil laugh.

"What's the big deal? If the opponent is worth it, I'd throw them all out without a care."

"They really are... exactly the same."

"Ah, yes." Gil felt the endless magical power within him, looking at Enkidu who was almost gone. "Again... is it like this... are we going to part ways again?"

As if possessed, Jill blurted out these words uncontrollably.

Tears began to flow, and Jill felt the temperature of the tears, somewhat stunned.

"Please don't be sad. I am merely a weapon. Just one weapon among your countless treasures. In the future, many more treasures, far superior to mine, will surely appear. Therefore, I... have no reason or value to make you shed tears..."

“Fool…walking side by side, speaking side by side, fighting side by side…this is neither human nor tool…but…friend…Enkidu…”

Blue specks of light drifted away, and Enkidu smiled. "Exactly the same. Even Gil in a parallel world is this gentle."

"Don't worry, I'm just appearing as a creation, it's not a real farewell. We will definitely meet again next time, definitely."

As he spoke, Enkidu's figure disappeared even faster.

Gil struggled to his feet and ran straight up to grab Enkidu's arm.

but……

He missed.

Completely and utterly missing out.

Jill knelt there, tears streaming down her face.

"Who...am I...why...am I so sad...it hurts so much, my heart feels like it's being torn apart..." Jill clutched her heart. "Who...am I...when the other person is a complete stranger to me..."

P.S.: It seems I need to explain this part, otherwise a bunch of people will start causing trouble again...

Gilgamesh awoke, but was suppressed by the powerful being who created the template, unable to seize control of the body. However, he could still influence the body's emotions.

However, Gilgamesh's will is truly strong; a mere E-rank spirit would definitely be affected.

Furthermore, the protagonist has a deep connection with Gilgamesh, but going any further would be a spoiler, so I'll stop here.

Chapter Forty-Six: The Final Battle - The Blazing Fire Falls from the Sky, and the Raging Waves of Napishtim Strikes!

On this side of the battlefield, Serega actively controlled the Vogel Knights to attack.

"Wave Chant!" With a shout, Serega's Vogel Knight released a ball of light, but it was easily destroyed by Altair!

"Too weak. If we're talking about real opponents, the King of Heroes would be the true rival, but unfortunately he's already retired," Altair said with certainty.

"hateful……"

"But I'm sorry to disappoint you," a weary voice, tinged with hidden anger, rang out.

“Altair…” Gil stood in the air, looking at Altair.

"Ah, is that so? As expected, you didn't hesitate to kill her." Altair said with a knowing smile.

“It’s just a pity I didn’t have that idea.” Jill pressed one hand to her chest, her red eyes flashing. “Anyway, as long as the opponent is worth fighting, it doesn’t matter if all the treasure is lost.”

"So, are you worthy of making me unleash such power?" Jill asked with a cold smile. "Although I can't use Ea in this [Birdcage], I can bring out something else."

He raised his hand, the longsword fell into his grasp, and Jill revealed a cold expression.

“Hey…this is interesting, King of Heroes!” Altair slowly raised his saber.

"The indestructible blade that made the Rakshasa King submit, experience it well with your own body! Pierce through the Rakshasa and never perish (Brahmastra)!"

Jill raised her longsword and then hurled it away!

This Noble Phantasm—Brahmastra—should originally be an arrow, but strangely, Gilles possesses the longsword Xingtai's Undying Blade.

Picking up the PPSh-41 submachine gun, Altair once again, with a motion reminiscent of holding a violin, slashed the PPSh-41 with his saber—

"The Ninth Movement of the Myriad Phenomena – The Return to Cause and Effect –"

"Buzz—" Gil felt the halo pass by, and his Mythic Mystic Armor disappeared, and then the infinite magic power brought by the Holy Grail also disappeared!

"Tsk!" Jill clicked her tongue.

"The Ninth Movement, 'Returning to the Source of Cause and Effect,' returns the creation's inherent nature to 'nothingness.'" Altair revealed a mocking expression. "In that case, do you still have enough mana to activate your Noble Phantasm? King of Heroes!"

"Everyone, step back!" Jill said, waving her hand.

"Jill!"

“Stop thinking about it. If you keep arguing, it could get very dangerous—” Jill cracked her neck. “Then let’s get a little serious!”

As the space began to fluctuate, golden ripples shimmered, and from these ripples emerged numerous chains of gemstones.

"I'm sorry, but I've seen it all..." Jill's lips curled into a genuinely mocking smile. "I'm very sorry... because you couldn't possibly not know—"

"The Omniscient and Omnipotent Star...?" Altair sighed. "Looks like I'm really unlucky."

Although it's only an incomplete version of the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star, its revelatory abilities are still very useful.

Jill had foreseen these events before the battle even began.
