I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

A sense of foreboding made her instinctively shout, "Watch out!"

Jill's sword tip was now almost touching the girl's throat.

The next moment, without warning, Jill's entire body passed through the girl's body.

“What…!?” Jill was instinctively stunned.

In less than half a second, Jill knew what had happened.

The girl in front of me isn't real, is she? She's probably some kind of projection or something...!

Once Jill realized what was happening, she immediately tried to turn around and retaliate.

However, a pale arm that appeared out of nowhere suddenly grabbed his limbs and restrained his movements.

Then, the pale arm tried to pull Jill away—

"Tch... Don't even think about it!" Gil brandished his hands, confident that as long as he could use rune magic, breaking free wouldn't be a problem...

Golden ripples began to appear in mid-air, and the Chains of Heaven (Enkidu) and countless Noble Phantasms emerged from the sky.

"Annoying!" With that, the girl snapped her fingers, and a void suddenly appeared in the space, instantly swallowing up the Enkidu and all the treasures.

Jill was stunned for a moment, her playful expression completely gone. "Spatial... ability!?"

If we're talking about which attribute abilities are the most troublesome, then it's definitely the mysterious and top-tier abilities of "time" and "space".

These two abilities can completely neutralize almost all abilities outside their own category.

While Gilles' Gate of Babylon can be considered a "space" type Noble Phantasm, its limitations are still too great.

After all, the Gate of Babylon only serves two purposes: "storage space" and "ejection." Although these two abilities can have many special applications under Jill's control, they are far inferior to those of someone who can truly control "space."

For Jill, the abilities that can counter the attacks of the Gate of Babylon are probably "time", "space", and "invulnerability".

It's immediately apparent how much invulnerability counters Jill's ability, completely nullifying the ricochet of Jill's Gate of Babylon.

Although Gilles can use special Noble Phantasms like beam attacks to break through, the fact that his attacks are normally rendered ineffective makes Gilles very upset.

Then there are "space" and "time".

These two abilities can completely nullify or even counter Gilles' Noble Phantasm bombardment.

It can be said to be the ability that best counters Jill.

The girl in front of me is exhibiting this very situation.

"It's not over yet...!" Gil's left eye faintly emitted a golden light, but the next moment, he was completely dragged into the "giant egg" that Theresa had tried to touch earlier.

The girl's figure also disappeared.

"You little brat!" Siegfried and Theresa almost simultaneously tried to rush forward.

But the next moment...

That "giant egg" opened its eyes.

“Honkai Beast…” Siegfried gritted his teeth and revealed the true nature of this “giant egg.”

It's not just the "cocoon" exterior, but also a true guardian!

"Roar!" The Honkai Beast roared.

It begins with the appearance of the "Second Herrscher" of this era—the Herrscher of the Void...

The Second Honkai Impact 3rd has officially begun.

……

"Where... am I?" Jill felt that he was still conscious after being dragged into the giant egg, so he opened his eyes.

Then, he saw the dimly lit scene before him...

It's the Tower of Babel that I left before!

Jill looked up and saw a line of little girls ahead of her, waiting in line to receive injections of a strange purple solvent from the researchers.

thump—

Without a second thought, Jill charged straight ahead.

He raised his foot and kicked directly at the heads of those researchers.

However, the imagined scene of researchers' heads being kicked and smashed like watermelons did not occur.

Jill passed through the researchers' heads, and then he watched as the reagents were injected into the girls' bodies.

Chapter Fifty-Six: Dream Summoning!

Jill stopped, a slight fluctuation appearing in her eyes.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

The purple-haired girl, injected with Honkai energy, was writhing in agony as the energy destroyed her body, causing her to scream and howl in agony...

Jill's eyes wavered.

His hand clenched into a fist, and his crimson left eye began to flicker with golden light, its brightness shifting unpredictably due to his fluctuating emotions.

"This test subject isn't working either... Tch, what a useless fellow."

The researcher's words made Jill want to smash his head in.

"Aurora... Agatha... Bella...you should get some rest..."

The scene changed again, this time to a snowy landscape.

The purple-haired girl spoke softly to the snow-covered ground before her.

It's obvious... that place has already buried several girls whose bodies couldn't withstand the Honkai energy's corrosive effects.

"...Are you very sad?" Jill asked the lonely figure standing in the snow.

“I’ve done something similar…” Jill slowly lowered her eyes and began to recount her past.

"Before, in another world... in that world, there was a [monster] that was very similar to the Honkai..."

And some children... because they inherited the monster's genes, were ruthlessly abandoned by their parents... In that river, those guys and I saved countless children... but... I also don't know how many children... died in my arms..."

Jill's voice carried a hint of bitterness, and the girl's figure trembled slightly.

“I’m heartbroken…that innocent child…the cold body in my arms…” Jill said through gritted teeth.

“If only I could have done it sooner… I’ve thought that way so many times…” Jill gritted her teeth, a hint of sadness flashing in her crimson eyes.

He looked at that retreating figure again, "I know that so-called preaching... is of no use."

“But I still hope you can believe that humanity… is not beyond redemption,” Jill said, watching the girl’s retreating figure.

Yes... Even in a world like the Dark Bullet, aren't there kind people like Chu Xingliu, Kushina Yoru, Hijikata Makoto, and Rentaro who don't discriminate against the cursed children?

That world... also has kind people...

Although Jill was disappointed with that world, he had initially held onto hope.

But precisely because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment... is also.

The girl turned around. "Too late."

She transformed into the Second Herrscher once more. "It's rare for me to share my experiences with you. I thought you would understand me... I refuse to trust those hypocritical adults. I'm going to kill them all! I'll show you just how pathetic humans are when faced with death!"

The scene changed once again, transforming into a crimson space.

There is not a single other life form in this space.

Jill could only deduce that this was probably a place similar to "the world in the mirror".

Gilles sighed softly and closed his eyes. "If that pitiful girl weren't here... if only that cruel Herrscher were left."

Jill opened her eyes again.

His eyes were devoid of all pity and compassion, overflowing with boundless killing intent and icy coldness. "Then I, Gilgamesh, the Hero King, will surely annihilate you here!"

Jill raised her hand and, finding the Demon Slayer no longer in her grasp, looked at the girl.

The girl smiled and waved the small silver sword in her hand.

"How could I possibly let you continue operating in my space with such a great threat?" The Herrscher of the Void revealed a playful smile. "But this thing is indeed quite interesting."

Jill's eyes took on an even more chilling glint.

"Well, you brought this on yourself, so don't blame me."

Two cards appeared in Jill's hand; one card depicted a person holding scales.

The other card depicts a person wearing a long robe and holding a magic wand.

“Dream Summoning!” Gil's body shone brightly.

The Ruler class card, symbolizing the power of Joan of Arc, and the Caster class card, symbolizing the power of Gilles de Rais during his time as a wise king, both lit up at the same time.

"Don't even think about it!" The Herrscher of the Void tried to stop Gil without hesitation.

However, the dream summoning can be completed in less than two seconds.

Gil's attire had become almost identical to that of the Wise King.

The Herrscher of the Void's Honkai energy attack was completely blocked by magic.

“Then let’s give it a try!” Gilles stretched out his hand. “My magical feast is about to begin!”

The God-ordained Slab of Mudstone and the Golden Axe fell into Jill's hands at the same time.

Countless runes immediately floated up in this crimson space.

"...I underestimated you..." The Herrscher of the Void stared intently at Gil with her amber eyes.

"Hehe...you still underestimate me in many ways!" Jill raised her hand. "Come on, let's start our first round!"

……

"Roar!" The pink and blue alien Honkai Beast was completely different from any Honkai Beast Jill had encountered before.

They have small heads, enormous arms on the left and right, and very thin bodies, making them look rather strange.

However, apart from the difference in the position and color of the huge arms, these two Honkai Beasts are almost identical.
