I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"Be silent in death, Enuma Elish, the star that created the separation of heaven and earth!"

Chapter Seventy-Three: Just this kind of opponent.

Jill swung the longsword that stirred up a storm, and the huge storm generated by the Ea sword instantly shattered all the space it touched!

Ea is an Anti-World Noble Phantasm, possessing the power to create the world.

While the Enuma Elish, a cosmology-simulated creation poem, is very similar to the Ea in terms of ability, their natures are completely different in some ways.

The form of Ea is a Noble Phantasm, a physical entity that needs to be stored in the treasure vault and retrieved when necessary. Its ability is simply creation, but compared to Another cosmology, it is less powerful and consumes less energy.

The Enuma Elish, a cosmology-simulated creation, is even more powerful than Ea, and it is fused with the soul. However, it consumes more energy than Ea. After fusing with Jill's soul, it can even seal the spirit of others and banish gods.

However, when dealing with Destruction Factors, or specifically EX-level Destruction Factors, using Another cosmology is less effective than using Ea.

After all, the damage caused by the pure principle of "opening up" is still quite high.

Jill looked at the messy space swept by her Ea sword EA's attack, her gaze sweeping across the large, dark crack.

“You’re not dead yet, are you? Although Ea’s attack tore through space, if it were an EX-level Destruction Factor like you, this attack would have caused serious damage. But given the tenacious vitality of Destruction Factors, you’re not dead yet, are you?” Jill said, her gaze fixed on a corner of the dark spatial rift.

Within the pitch-black spatial rift, a dark shadow slowly floated up.

Jill's breath almost stopped for a moment.

His gaze was fixed on that figure.

That dark figure was undoubtedly Celia.

However, at this moment, Celia was no longer a young girl, but a dark figure like a shadow.

No… if Jill really had to describe it, then when she first saw this dark figure, she felt something…

Malice, yes, just like the feeling when Takuto Howaki looked at Gil with that hateful gaze...

Yes, it was almost overflowing with malice, pure... hatred!

Jill had a vague sense of possibility, but it was fleeting and she didn't grasp it immediately.

Pure, unadulterated malice struck Jill directly, and those blood-red eyes fixed on him.

"!" As Jill sensed the danger, she did not hesitate to initiate a spatial jump, leaving her original location.

"Bang—Boom—!"

It was clearly just an attack on the air, yet it produced such a terrifying sound. The powerful air blast instantly swept through every nerve in Jill's body!

"Ugh...!" Even though the Knight System armor hadn't been removed, Gil felt a stinging sensation on his skin and around his eyes.

The hurricane caused by the gas explosion quickly subsided, and Jill's armor vanished in an instant, turning into black light particles.

Jill retrieved both the driver and the bottle into the Gate of Babylon, and Jill's armor was visibly destroyed by a single attack!

"...This is terrible..."

Jill felt a dampness on his face. He raised his hand to touch it, and a streak of crimson blood came into his view.

……Blood……

Jill looked at the other person.

How long has it been since I last got injured?

The last time he was injured was during humanity's final trial, caused by the "absolute evil" demon king Azdakha.

Going back further, it was during the battle with the Three Pillar Ministers in the Xingli Palace.

That's been a long time.

Jill chuckled.

“I’d almost forgotten what this feeling was like…” Gil’s magic surged once more.

The dark figure looked at Jill once again.

“But… you bastard, who gave you permission to look at me with such filthy and contemptuous eyes!?” Gilles gripped the sword Ea and pointed it at the monster. “It’s a pity, but this is the end.”

"Die like a lowly ant! Enuma Elish, the star that created the world!"

A crimson storm surged up instantly, swallowing the dark figure whole in a flash!

Celia Carlo, one of the eleven EX-level Destruction Factors besides Ann Dukalo, was annihilated by Jill.

Almost at the instant Celia's body shattered, countless blue crystal fragments also floated up.

What those things are is self-evident.

Those thousands of blue crystal fragments, of course, are all...

"Fragments of the world..."

Gil was bathed in the light formed by the blue crystal fragments, feeling the emotions that the world conveyed to him.

hapiness……

happy……

These fragments of the world are like children...

Jill chuckled softly, "Well then, it's time to go home, fragments of the world..."

"Template! Activate world fragment recycling!" Jill activated the template recycling function.

The blue crystal fragments were all recovered after three minutes, and Jill prepared for another spatial transfer.

He still has to clean up all the remaining small fish...

……

"Damn it...! You brat... aren't you here yet...!" Siegfried complained as he fired two more shots.

The jet-black assassins wielding scythes and the jet-black Honkai Beasts resembling knights both let out tremendous roars.

boom!

A loud thud echoed beside Siegfried. "Siegfried, what are you spacing out for!"

The girl, holding a huge golden cross, said to Siegfried, "These things... are completely useless!"

At that moment, golden light began to shimmer in the air.

The blond boy, dressed in thick winter clothes, had his hands in his pockets. "Sorry I'm late because of some things."

Siegfried looked at him, "Ha, brat, too slow..."

“Well, leave it to me.” Gil looked at the Honkai Beasts and zombies. “After all, they’re only this level? They’re still far inferior to those guys…”

Jill held out her hand. "An opponent like this can be dealt with just like this."

He stood at the very front, drawing the attention of all the Honkai Beasts and Death Knights.

"Roar!" The Honkai Beasts suddenly charged towards Gil, completely ignoring Siegfried and the others who had attacked them earlier.

"Little devil, you..."

"Snapped……"

Jill snapped her fingers.

Countless golden ripples instantly appeared in the air.

Swords, spears, and halberds instantly shot out from the ripples—

End of Chapter Seventy-Four

The world of Hakoba.

"Zizi...Zizi..."

Otto made himself a cup of tea while looking at the messages displayed on the crystal screen.

"What time is it? You're still in the mood to make tea?! I don't even know where Ren is!" Chen Xi said irritably to Otto.

“Don’t panic… The good news is that we’ve recovered some world fragments, 1032 in total… The second piece of good news is that the weakest EX-level Destruction Factor—Celia—has been annihilated. And I think you know who annihilated her.” Otto took a sip of tea and said.

"Ah, I know this is good news, but the current situation is not optimistic..." Chen Xi pulled out a chair and sat down directly.

“That weakest guy isn’t even a tenth as strong as An. You could have taken him down by yourself, right? And because he evolved from a lower-level Destruction Factor, his intelligence is inferior to the six EX-level Destruction Factors of the [Primordial].” Chen Xi picked up Otto’s teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and continued, “Even you and I could have taken down that kind of opponent.”

That was a classification of EX-level destructive factors that even the Wise King was unaware of.

The levels of the Destruction Factors are like a pyramid, with each level having a smaller number but increasing strength.

While there are twelve EX-level Destruction Factors, not all of them possess equal power.

Take Ann Dukalo for example. He is a Destruction Factor that was directly separated from the Destruction Factor. There are five other beings like Ann, who are also called "Primordial". Each of them has Destruction Factors with memories no less than those of the Wise King.

The Wise King had not seen all the Destruction Factors, but had participated in three "Primordial" extermination operations. Two failed, and one succeeded, resulting in the capture of the Destruction Factor alive. The successful operation was the one that wiped out An. Ultimately, inferences based solely on these three experiences were insufficient.

The remaining six EX-level Destruction Factors are a special type of Destruction Factor.

Just like the Titans in Attack on Titan have Abnormal types, the Destruction Factor also has beings like "Abnormal types".

That is the "Devouring Species," a destructive factor that grows stronger by devouring a portion of the power of a destroyed world. After devouring the power of more than 1000 worlds, they also become EX-level destructive factors.

This is the result of Otto's research after he captured a small Devourer monster.

However, this evolved destructive factor is naturally far inferior to the "original" one. Moreover, Celia is even the weakest among these "devouring species," so it's really not that much for Jill to defeat Celia.

“How could that be? That was a destructive factor representing a corner of [hatred].” Otto revealed a solemn expression. “Although we annihilated it, it is still not enough. After all, the [Primordial] that is directly separated from the concept of destruction cannot be compared with the [Devour] that comes from evolution. Don’t forget how much effort and manpower we spent to capture An alive.”

Chen Xi had just brought the teacup to her lips when, as if remembering something, she didn't drink the tea but instead said, "Kevin sent him a message, right?"

"Well... it's irrelevant anyway, let it be." Otto stood up. "Let's go find Brother Ren."

"Hey, wait for me! I haven't even had a sip of my tea yet! Wait for me!"

Chen Xi stood up and quickly chased after him.

Inside the room, only a cup of steaming black tea remained...

……

"Alright, that's the end of it this time." Jill said, looking at Theresa who was directing the cleanup of the battlefield. "Honestly, all that help for nothing. She ran off without even having a bite to eat."
