I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Welt Yang was quite confident in Gil, after all, how could someone who could wipe out five hundred Honkai Beasts in a dozen seconds be weak?

“It’s just ahead,” Theresa suddenly said.

On the back of her hand, a small golden cross was spreading out with countless golden chains.

One of the chains is pointing in the direction ahead.

In that direction, two strange objects, one pink and one blue, stood quietly.

……

"Bang!" A golden ripple shot out, killing a dark blue-green cavalry Honkai Beast. The longsword in hand swept across, slaying another Temple-class Honkai Beast wielding a heavy shield.

"Tch! Reinforcements?" Jill gritted her teeth. "You really don't want me to leave here?"

There were probably far more than two or three hundred Honkai Beasts surrounding Jill; the number was estimated to be around seven hundred.

Moreover, there are many special individuals inside. Jill tried to create an opening and rush out, but failed.

The gap was blocked by more Honkai Beasts within seconds. Moreover, seemingly sensing Gil's threat, these Honkai Beasts attacked Gil like madmen, preventing Gil from having another chance to unleash a powerful Noble Phantasm.

Chapter 54 Collapse - Arrival!

Several times when Gil tried to use a powerful Noble Phantasm to clear the field, the Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors would rush up like madmen, interrupting Gil's actions of accumulating magic power.

"There's no other way, so let's use the weapons of this world!"

Several golden ripples suddenly appeared around Jill, and the cannons inside were beginning to charge.

"Fire!"

The cannons roared with a dull thud, the two cannons spewing out deadly firepower, and the missiles they fired instantly blasted open a clearing.

"Effective!" More golden ripples bloomed around Jill, instantly scattering the Honkai Beasts that rushed towards her.

“Then let’s try this…” Jill poured all her divine power into the Demon Slayer, and a silvery light instantly shone forth.

"Soul Flash - Full Moon!" A wide-range circular sword slash directly drew traces of death in the air. Any Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors that were struck by the Demon Slayer would have their bodies shattered in two.

Gil saw the Honkai Beasts around him scatter once more, and he raised his sword again.

However, this sword is not Excalibur, but another sword similar to Excalibur.

It is the Noble Phantasm used by Rider Gawain in the Fate/stay night world, Excalibur Galatine.

According to legend, this holy sword has the same power as King Arthur's sword.

The sister sword of Excalibur in Arthurian legend, originally wielded by a lake spirit, just like Excalibur.

Hidden in the shadow of Excalibur within its heritage is a holy sword that is not described in much detail.

King Arthur and his sword were blessed by the moon, and conversely, he and the sword were blessed by the sun.

King Arthur's sword Excalibur gathers the light of the planets, while Gawain's sword Galatine reveals the blazing rays of the sun.

Excalibur is a single-point focused anti-city Noble Phantasm, while Galatine is a horizontal, radial Noble Phantasm used to wipe out approaching enemy troops.

Therefore, this attack by Jill is an attempt to break through the encirclement—

"This sword is the embodiment of the sun, the blazing flame that burns away all impurities!" Gilles shouted the release incantation for his Noble Phantasm, "Excalibur Galatine!"

The horizontally projected light, capable of holding its own against the Ea, erupted with intense heat.

The A+ rank anti-army Noble Phantasm unleashed terrifying power in an instant; the blazing sun flames nearly burned everything in its path!

Whether it's a Honkai Beast or a zombie, whether it's a living being or a non-living being, in this world, there are very few people who can withstand the bombardment of this Noble Phantasm with its true name fully unleashed!

"Boom——"

With a deafening roar, a massive gap appeared in the Honkai Beasts' encirclement under the bombardment of the Excalibur Galatine.

Moreover, the surrounding trees were blasted into countless charred remains by this attack, and the snow on the ground was melted into a large pool of water. Because of the heat of the sun, the water was not frozen into ice, so the area in front of Jill became an environment of charred remains and water.

"Ugh... Damn it... My bad, my bad!" Gil rubbed his temples, his head aching. "If Enkidu saw this, he'd probably give me a lecture."

However, now is not the time to think about that.

Hermes' boots were put on, and Gil leaped out, beginning to fly at low altitude.

Because many of the trees ahead had been scorched by Gil's Excalibur Galatine, Gil's flight speed was also very fast, and he quickly left the Honkai Beasts far behind.

"Hey, you think you can stop me? You don't have enough troops." Jill stuck out her tongue.

"Hiss... It's so cold, so cold. Let's hurry, as soon as possible..."

Golden rays of light swept through the forest, stirring up countless leaves.

……

“…This is Judah’s guidance,” Theresa said, pointing to a huge “egg” in front of her.

It was a huge white egg with pink and blue patterns on it.

What Theresa and the others saw from afar was a more striking blue and pink pattern.

"But what exactly is this? Could that purple-haired girl be inside?"

Theresa reached out her finger, wanting to touch the big egg.

"Don't touch that! A huge amount of Honkai energy suddenly came out of that egg," Yang stopped Theresa.

"I understand." Theresa immediately abandoned the idea and turned to leave.

At that moment, a pale arm suddenly emerged from the giant egg and grabbed Theresa's arm.

“What…” Theresa looked surprised.

But at that moment, even more pale arms reached out and grabbed Theresa, trying to pull her into the giant egg.

"Theresa!" Siegfried reached out his hand to Theresa. "I've come to save you!"

But the golden arm moved much faster than Siegfried, and it looked like Theresa was about to be pulled into that space—

Countless golden ripples suddenly unfolded, and the silver chains with golden light and wedges slammed hard into those arms.

Those arms seemed to have a sense of control, and they immediately released Theresa.

Theresa immediately felt a sense of weightlessness, and then she felt a pair of arms catch her just in time.

"Looks like I've arrived just in time." The blond, red-eyed boy smiled as he looked at the silver-haired girl in his arms. "Am I right?"

The boy's warm, sunny smile startled Theresa, and her face quickly flushed. "Put me down!"

“Alright, alright.” Jill put Theresa down and looked at the giant egg in front of her. “Everyone, step back… This thing is more like a cocoon than an egg…”

Theresa had already retreated back to Siegfried's side.

"What do you mean by saying it's more like a cocoon than an egg?" Siegfried asked, looking at Gilles, who had also retreated.

Jill glanced at Siegfried. "It's just my personal feeling... that thing is more like a life undergoing a metamorphosis than a newborn life..."

"And when that thing emerges from its cocoon—"

As Jill spoke, countless cracks suddenly appeared in that space.

Then, the purple-haired girl appeared from that space...

"The Honkai... is about to descend!"

Chapter 55 "The Herrscher of the Void"

The purple-haired girl is no longer dressed the way Jill first saw her.

The girl's long purple hair had spread out, reaching up to her ankles, and in her amber eyes, an "X"-shaped pupil was reflected in Jill's eyes.

She was dressed in purple, cape-like clothing.

The girl's legs were still wrapped in bandages.

A complex look flashed across Jill's eyes.

The girl was also watching Gil.

A tense atmosphere began to rise.

“You’ve become a Herrscher… Well, there’s nothing we can do about it…” Gil’s magical power began to surge, and golden ripples appeared in the space.

“You guys go first… her target is me,” Jill said, blocking Theresa from stepping forward with her arm.

“But Gil…” Siegfried was about to say something when he was stopped by a stern voice.

"Hurry up, I'll be fine..." Jill looked intently at the girl before her—

Or rather, the "Second Herrscher" of this world and this era!

At that moment, countless pale arms suddenly appeared and stretched out towards Jill and Theresa.

Jill stretched out her hand, and amidst countless golden ripples, silver chains carrying golden light struck directly against those arms.

The pale arm was quickly knocked away by the silver chains, and Jill gripped the small sword at her waist with her right hand.

"Este, it's time to go!" Jill communicated with Esther telepathically.

"Yes... I am my brother's sword, everything is as you wished." Esther's light and ethereal voice rang out, and a silvery divine light shone forth.

"The ruthless Steel Queen, the holy sword that slays demons and monsters, has transformed into a steel blade here, granting me divine power!"

An obscure language, incomprehensible to anyone but Jill, rang out, and the silver holy sword reappeared in Jill's hand.

The Demon Slayer gleamed with a cold, silvery light, illuminating the space.

"Thump!" Jill's footsteps left a large footprint in the snow, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

At this moment, Gil's figure also appeared behind the Second Herrscher.

"So fast!?" Gil's speed surprised both Walter and Siegfried.

What's going on with that speed?

Jill's sword flashed like lightning, aimed directly at the girl's neck, clearly intending to kill her with a single blow!

At that moment, Theresa saw it.

The girl whose sword was pointed at by Gil smiled.
