I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

A breeze swept through the city, making the red-tiled roofs particularly eye-catching, and as it passed by, a sweet floral fragrance reminiscent of a paradise stimulated the nostrils.

At the other end of the bustling street stands a large building, where the flag of the community governing the outer gates stands proudly.

This is the four-digit number for the small garden—6243 Outer Gate.

It is the upper area where the banner of [The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven] flutters in the wind.

"Oh dear... it seems like it's been a long time since I last came here..." White Yaksha sighed, waving her fan.

"..." Jill looked around at the surroundings and clicked her tongue lightly, "The style of ancient China... It's very familiar, and a little heartwarming."

"Friendly?" White Yaksha gave Gil a strange look.

Jill smiled but didn't say anything more.

Perhaps it's because Chen is Chinese? Jill, who inherited his personality, also felt a sense of familiarity with this place.

"Alright, come with me," White Yaksha said, waving her fan.

"...Hey, White Demon, are you sure you're okay going like this? I remember among those demon kings, the one who hates Buddhism the most is the Bull Demon King," Gil tilted his head and said.

The Buddhist sect not only took away Sun Wukong, the sworn brother of the Bull Demon King, but also destroyed the banner of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Even the Bull Demon King's own son, Red Boy, converted to Buddhism.

This is the hatred of having one's child taken away! Do you think the Bull Demon King wouldn't hate Buddhism? He's not a saint, nor is he Tang Sanzang. The reason he didn't directly attack Buddhism was because of the instructions left by Sun Wukong before his departure.

Is the White Demon now risking his life all by himself?

"It's alright. I was just asked to bring you here to retrieve the Xuanyuan Sword anyway," White Night Demon said nonchalantly.

"If all else fails, why don't you step in and shield me? I remember you have quite a few divine-level blessings, you know? You should be able to hold off the Bull Demon King, right?"

"No way! Besides, you're so much stronger than me, why should I block it for you?" Jill retorted.

"No way, I'm a delicate and beautiful girl now, you know?"

“…Huh?” Jill’s eyebrows twitched wildly.

delicate?

This word is fine for describing the young lady, Kudo Asuka, but using it to describe you...

Something doesn't seem right!

"Tsk, stop arguing, let's go," Jill said, clicking her tongue.

White Yaksha looked up at the main camp of the Heavenly Emperor.

“There is an unknown threat approaching the lower levels. In order to maintain peace, we will probably need the power of the upper levels... the power of the Bull Demon King, the power of the 'Great Sage Equaling Heaven' who single-handedly commanded six demon kings—that is also the purpose I came here this time.”

"Let's talk about that later." Jill glanced at White Yaksha. "Let's go inside first."

Jill strolled slowly toward the pavilion ahead, and she and White Yaksha swaggered straight into the deserted building.

"But it really is empty. Why clear the place out like this?" White Demon pouted unhappily.

The large pavilion, which would normally be bustling with the Bull Demon King's officers, now felt even more spacious because it was deserted.

"Do you think the Chinese gods will let this go if they see the Xuanyuan Sword? If I'm not mistaken, there's something on the Xuanyuan Sword too." Gil narrowed his eyes. "So, the fewer people who know about it, the better. The Bull Demon King did the right thing."

After passing through the exterior corridor, accompanied by an elegant fragrance, the view finally opens up.

The two arrived at the central courtyard. Passing through here would lead them to the Bull Demon King's throne.

At this moment, Jill sensed a different atmosphere, and he looked up at the sky.

The anomaly descended from this azure sky.

"...Huh? Sunlight...?"

The sunlight in the blue sky I had just been looking up at suddenly intensified dramatically.

The originally warm sunlight abruptly transformed into scorching rays that could burn the skin, pouring down upon us.

Jill squinted and looked up at the sky.

At that moment, a feather radiating golden light floated down from the figure exuding a scorching aura.

“…It’s a little bird?” Jill said, looking at the figure.

White Yaksha realized who the other person was through the feathers, and immediately put on a surprised expression.

"...That's quite surprising. I don't recall sending any letters announcing a visit here. Are you so displeased knowing that my sworn brother is going to meet with someone related to Buddhism, Peng Demon King?"

"I just don't like that brat... He has a similar aura to Kevin, which is unpleasant," said the girl known as the Roc Demon King.

She had her black hair tied up, and was dressed in an elegantly patterned outfit that was daringly open from the shoulders to the back. A girl with fiery golden wings appeared behind her, looking down at Jill.

“…The Golden-Winged Roc?” Jill narrowed her eyes. “It would be a suitable opponent.”

laugh……

A crimson light enveloped Jill. "Balance breaker!"

The Crimson Dragon Emperor's Armor instantly covered Gil's body, and the precious stones embedded in it lit up at the same time.

"Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!"

Jill, who had multiplied five times in a second, took a step forward.

Boom!

Very obvious cracks appeared on the ground.

Gil's figure had already arrived in front of the Roc Demon King.

“Unlovable birds will be punished.”

Gil's eyes on his visor lit up completely.

"Boom!"

As a result, Peng Demon King was slammed into the ground by Gil's punch.

“I forgot to mention…” Jill walked to the edge of the pit, and having already mastered the balance breaker, he removed the Crimson Dragon Emperor Armor. “I hate being looked down upon by anyone other than my comrades.”

Chapter 490 The World or Family, Which Will You Choose?

"Alright, Gil, stop making things difficult for him." White Yaksha pulled Gil aside. "Little Galing, I don't care what grudges you have with Kevin, but you can't mess with his words."

"...White Demon, this is the first time I've seen you defend someone." The girl called Galin shook her head and looked at Gil.

Gil was also observing Galin.

Contrary to his magnificent and elegant attire, which included a daring backless design, the Roc Demon King's features still appeared somewhat childish.

Although she uses makeup to cover it up, she probably has a baby face underneath, right?

Jill guessed with a touch of wicked humor.

"But you little brat, you're quite cute, aren't you?" The oblivious golden-winged roc pinched Jill's cheek. "Want to come work for us? I can give you the best treatment, you know?"

You should know that Izayoi only touched his head and was subjected to Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm baptism.

But before White Yaksha could stop him, Galin pinched Gil's cheek.

So Jill laughed.

If that face that could charm any girl were to smile, I bet many girls would want to hug and rub against Jill.

Galing was no exception.

Unfortunately, just as she was about to embrace Jill, she was confronted by countless swords, spears, and halberds pointed at her by Jill.

"I hate it when anyone other than my closest friends pinches my cheeks." A terrifying aura emanated from Jill.

"Alright, alright, Gil, Little Galin didn't mean it." White Yaksha tapped his forehead with his fan, looking annoyed. "Stop fooling around. You'll have to try picking up the Xuanyuan Sword later."

"Pick it up?" Upon hearing this, Jill's golden ripples began to recede one by one. "What do you mean?"

“Otto didn’t come here after repairing the Xuanyuan Sword.” Galing also took a few steps back, putting some distance between himself and Gil. “Instead, he gathered all the fragments and came here to repair it.”

“Once it’s repaired, no one will be able to lift it,” White Yaksha continued. “Little Galing mentioned this in a letter he wrote to Kevin.”

“…” Jill glanced at Galin and pursed her lips. “Alright, I’ll give it a try later.”

"By the way, where's the Bull Demon King?" Jill asked, as if she had just remembered something.

“…That invitation was sent to you in my brother’s name. It was a message he asked me to send you before he left.” Jialing scratched his head. “Since I went to the [Ghost Princess] Alliance in the North District for rescue half a month ago, my brother hasn’t come back even once. But he is my brother after all. Maybe he’s having a good time somewhere.”

“Wh...what…” White Yaksha murmured in response.

—She heard that when the Demon King attacked half a month ago, the Bull Demon King had gone to help the "Ghost Princess" alliance, the rulers of the northern district.

However, she also received a report that the Bull Demon King left the alliance immediately after defeating the Demon King, in addition to the invitation she had just received today...

Therefore, White Yaksha always believed that he had returned to his base.

“Tsk, take me to see the Xuanyuan Sword,” Jill said.

He just wants to get this done as soon as possible so he can go back and rest.

"Come with me." Galin led Gil and the others to a room behind the throne room.

The building outside was just an ordinary structure, but as soon as Galin pushed open the door, a sharp aura rushed towards Gil.

“Hmm!” Jill’s voice deepened a little. “Estelle!”

A silver-white holy sword appeared in Jill's hand, and the Demon Slayer sword trembled with a sword's cry.

“Brother, that one inside… I’m no match for him.” Esther’s voice was unusually grave.

“That’s normal…that sword does have that kind of strength.” Jill’s voice was also serious.

“The Xuanyuan Sword cannot be approached. For the past five years, since it was placed here, the Xuanyuan Sword has been emitting sword energy, making it difficult even for my elder brother to get close,” Jialing said.

“Ah, I see.” Jill clicked her tongue. “That’s why I hate that guy who’s always scheming against others.”

“The Tyrannosaurus isn’t fully formed yet, but it can only be used once at this point.” Gil gestured for White Yaksha and Galin to step back a little. “My size might increase a bit next.”

Crimson gauntlets appeared on Jill's arms.

"Balance breaker!" Crimson armor instantly covered Jill's body.

"—I have awakened as—"

"These are the two dragons who exemplify the way of the king here—"
