I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Because in this world, the only person who could make that call is Siegfried.

But why is this phone call coming now?

Siegfried once told Jill that he wanted to defect from Destiny.

If he is in danger at that time, he should call this number, and Jill will do her best to help him.

However, defecting from the enormous organization that has a history of at least five hundred years, Destiny, naturally requires sufficient time to prepare.

Based on his own calculations, Jill estimated that Siegfried would need at least two years to prepare his defection plan.

However, if unforeseen circumstances arise, this defection plan could be extended to three or even four years. Even if the people in Anti-Entropy help Siegfried, his defection won't be that quick...

Thinking this, Jill picked up her phone. "Hello?"

“You brat… There’s a tricky situation in Siberia… To be honest, I really didn’t want to call you… but the guy in front of us is too difficult to deal with.”

Gunshots could still be heard from Siegfried's location. Jill wore a strange expression. "Why is he so difficult to deal with? Don't you possess that Divine Key?"

The so-called Key of God is a weapon made from the core of a Herrscher. It was designed and created by the scientist MEI of the previous generation, with the aim of using the power of the Herrscher to fight against the Herrscher.

The source of these Herrscher cores is naturally the defeated Herrschers of the previous generation.

And there is naturally more than one Divine Key.

For example, Cecilia possesses the Creation Key "Black Abyss White Flower," a weapon made from the core of the previous generation's Sixth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Death. This weapon reverses the Herrscher of Death's abilities and possesses the strongest "creation" power.

For example, Siegfried's weapon, the Key of Destruction "Judgment of Heavenly Fire," is made from the core of the previous generation's Seventh Herrscher, Herrscher of Flame. It reproduces the power of the Herrscher of Flame and is a pair of guns with the strongest "destructive" power.

There's also Theresa, or rather, the weapon used by Kallen in the past, made from the core of the eleventh Herrscher of the previous generation, the Herrscher of Binding: the Key of Binding "Oath of Judah," a binding device for Herrschers and Honkai Beasts with the strongest "binding" power.

Jill also possesses two Divine Keys, but they are Divine Keys from a parallel world.

Jill doesn't intend to use them in this world, as that would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

The divine key, Judgment of Heavenly Fire, known as the "Key of Destruction," is also jokingly called "Heavenly Fire Self-Destruction" and "Life Start-up Gun." However, these two guns are extremely powerful, and there is practically no one who can use this Key of Destruction, Judgment of Heavenly Fire, without any side effects.

But Siegfried, who possessed such a weapon, said that the opponent was difficult to deal with.

After unleashing its full power, the Judgment of Heavenly Fire possesses an attack power roughly equivalent to that of an A-rank Noble Phantasm.

"No... I just instinctively felt that you might know what this thing is, so I called you to ask. Cecilia and I can't hold on much longer either...!"

Gunshots and the clanging of metal rang out again on the other end of the phone.

"What kind of opponent is it?" Jill also sensed that something was wrong.

Siegfried and Cecilia are already among the top-tier combatants in this world. Both of them possess the Divine Key, and if they join forces, even a Herrscher would have a hard time getting the better of them.

But Siegfried said he couldn't hold on for much longer either?

"Damn it, those black devils..." Siegfried's voice was filled with gritted teeth, "In short, they're a huge, dark horde of assassins and Honkai beasts that appeared out of nowhere, originally..."

Jill's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Wait, Siegfried, tell me again, what did those things look like?"

Jill immediately stood up. If it really was the Destruction Factor, then things were in serious trouble.

"Ah, those are dark Honkai Beasts and zombies. I don't know why, but our attacks are having very little effect..." Siegfried's voice came again, "On our side..."

"I understand, I'll be right there." Jill immediately used spatial jump to teleport.

However, a sudden sensation abruptly interrupted Jill's spatial jump.

Jill only felt a "thump" and found herself in another place.

“This is…” Jill looked at the scene before her, “at sea? How is this possible?”

"Nothing is impossible. All I need to do is keep an eye on you, then interrupt and mislead your space jump..." A light, melodious girl's voice rang out.

Two months ago, the Destruction Factor Girl who had appeared in this world has reappeared.

“The aura of Brother An has disappeared from you… It seems that this is the end for Brother An…” The girl put her hands behind her back and looked at Jill.

"Well, I don't care who you're talking about... Anyway, it's only natural that I would annihilate you now that you've come back!" Gil said, his crimson eyes gleaming.

The girl smiled, spreading her arms wide. "My name is Celia Carroll—an enemy of the world!"

Chapter Seventy-Two: The Wise King's Relics

"The world's... enemy..." Jill chuckled. "Ha, that's right, the Destruction Factor is indeed the [world's] enemy..."

Gilgamesh raised his hand and pointed at Celia, "My name is Gilgamesh! I am the oldest hero-king in human history, and the guardian of the world!"

As if in response to his words, countless golden ripples flashed instantly, almost filling the entire sky behind Jill!

"A swift and decisive victory...!" Jill decided, thinking of Siegfried and Cecilia, who were still in danger.

"What, are you going all out to finish this quickly?" A huge circular hole appeared behind Celia, and pitch-black liquid immediately began to flow out, enveloping her body and forming a set of pitch-black armor.

Jill took out the driver. "Alright, let's see how strong you really are."

"Harzed ON!"

A dangerous trigger was mounted on the driver on Jill's waist, and two bottles also appeared in Jill's hands.

The two bottles, one red and one silver-white, shimmered with a faint light.

"Click-clack-clack..." Jill shook the bottle rapidly, and the bottle made that sound.

"Welsh Dragon!"

"White Dragon!"

"Out-of-control switch! A completely opposite, two-faced tyrant! Yabeei!"

The dark gold armor was once again donned by Jill, adding a touch of coldness to her entire being.

Gil flapped the mimicking white dragon emperor's wings on his back and charged directly at Celia.

Countless golden ripples unleashed deadly attacks, both sharp and blunt weapons, all aimed at Celia.

At the same time, Jill drew Excalibur and slashed at Celia!

The opponent's abilities are currently unknown; further observation is needed before any conclusions can be drawn...

The last time Jill used End of the World, the Destruction Factor in front of her disappeared for some reason, but only two months later, it reappeared, bringing with it a bunch of minions.

The grunts were easy targets, easily dealt with with a single shot, and weren't part of Jill's calculations, but Celia was different.

She is an EX-level Destruction Factor.

Jill had faced the Destroyer Factor several times before, but she still wasn't confident about the guy in front of her.

Sonorous——

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

Celia held a jet-black spear in her hand, blocking Gilles's slash. When those Noble Phantasms struck her armor, they only caused a large amount of sparks to fly out, and the armor itself was not damaged!

“What…!” Jill’s face showed surprise.

How is this possible?! The impact of the attack launched by the Gate of Babylon is so great that even Azdahah, who has the mass of a continent, would be blasted back several steps. Yet, it has no effect at all on this black armor!

Boom!

A dull thud echoed from Excalibur in Jill's hand.

Jill was thrown away by the heavy force.

That was incredibly strong!

"What a joke... You're far from enough!" Jill swiftly pressed the danger trigger button on the driver with her right hand!

"Max Harzed on!"

Immediately afterwards, all the jewels on Gil's body suddenly lit up.

"Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!"

The power of the mimicking Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets continuously amplified Gil's own power, causing Gil's aura to rise in a straight line.

Although the mimicry of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet can only double Gil's power by half at a time, once the number of times is increased, coupled with the enhancements given to Gil by the driver and the two bottles, Gil can even forcibly double his power ten or twenty times without worrying about his physical condition, easily matching the power increase of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet.

While this armor possesses such capabilities, it also has both advantages and disadvantages.

After all, this armor and the power of the two full bottles are ultimately incomplete. The Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets and the White Dragon Emperor's wings of light are both divine artifacts with multiple abilities, while the full bottles merely replicated the power of the two artifacts, multiplying and halving it.

“That’s not enough, Guardian of the World!” Celia raised her spear, aimed it at Gil, and made a throwing motion.

Jill remained silent, reaching her hand out into the void.

Golden ripples appeared in front of Jill's hand, and a golden sword hilt slowly fell into Jill's hand.

“Wise King…so that’s what you meant…” Gil slowly pulled out the golden hilt of the sword, revealing its full form in the air.

The black and red blade is made of three interlocking cylindrical sections. The moment the sword is drawn, dark cracks immediately appear in the space.

That sword—it should have been fused with Jill's soul—!

"The simulated star map (Another cosmology) is useless against the Destruction Factor because it is ultimately tainted with my soul's aura. As long as even a trace of the Destruction Aura is mixed in, even creation cannot destroy the Destruction Factor..."

After grasping the sword Ea left behind by the wise king, Gilles also understood what the wise king had said.

This sword, Ea, is a relic left behind by the wise king... or you could say it's the wise king's last hope.

"Whoosh!" The jet-black spear flew towards Jill. Jill raised the Ea sword in her hand and slashed horizontally. The slash, which created a spatial rift, tore the jet-black spear in two!

Celia's pupils contracted. "How could this be...!"

That weapon, constructed entirely of B-grade destructive factors, was annihilated in a single blow?!

"If the simulated star map (Another cosmology) doesn't work, then you can have a good taste of the Ea sword EA, which has broken through five seals!"

The magic power, multiplied eighteen times, was directly injected into the sword Ea, and Gilles raised the sword Ea left behind by the wise king.

"When we talk about the origin, heaven and earth are separated!"

Countless spatial cracks immediately began to extend outwards from the blade of the Ea sword EA.

"The void offers its blessing to creation, and what cuts through this world is my sword of discord!" The three interlocking blades spun wildly, creating gusts of wind.

"A vortex of stars, a hell in the heavens, is the end before creation!"

Celia also sensed something was wrong. A dark spatial rift appeared in an instant, and she quickly rushed towards it.
