I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Fu Hua let out a deep breath, and his aura suddenly became heavy.

The two auras clashed in the air for a moment, and neither gained the upper hand in the first exchange.

This is also why Jill didn't intend to go all out; otherwise, a magic release combined with a heavy punch would have been enough to knock Fu Hua to the ground.

Jill's agility stat is also quite high. As the saying goes, "speed is the only way to break through all martial arts." If Jill really goes all out, Fu Hua probably won't be able to last even one round.

Boom!

The two men took a step forward at the same time and threw a punch at each other.

boom!

Fists collided, and powerful air currents instantly dispersed. Jill and Fu Hua's first attack on each other ended inconclusively.

"Oh, you're getting serious..." Jill stepped to the right, dodging Fu Hua's punch that came from his blind spot, while simultaneously kicking Fu Hua with a gust of wind from her left foot.

Fu Hua reacted quickly, reaching out to block Jill's whip kick, then wrapping her hands around it, as if to throw Jill away!

But Jill wasn't going to be dealt with so easily. With a burst of strength, Jill braced his upper body and placed his hands on the ground. Then, in a handstand position that was almost impossible for a human to do, he threw Fu Hua away.

After several rounds of exchanges, neither of them gained the upper hand.

Because this is merely a warm-up.

"Warm-up's over, let's get serious." Jill planted her right foot on the ground. "Fu Hua, watch out."

As a practical combat instructor, Jill once single-handedly defeated two hundred Valkyries (albeit in a series of battles), and there are even rumors that even the S-rank Valkyrie, Principal St. Freya, could not defeat him.

However, this rumor was denied by the students.

After all, if this teacher had that kind of strength, he would definitely be a trump card firmly held in the hands of the Destiny Headquarters, instead of letting this guy, who is equivalent to a human bomb, run around.

In reality, the students forgot to consider one thing...

That means this teacher is not subject to destiny at all.

Fu Hua saw Jill's movements, narrowed her eyes, and at the same time, a faint blue gas seemed to appear on her hands.

The next moment, Fu Hua struck first. With a loud "bang", Fu Hua raised her hand and her right hand was already in front of Jill's chest!

However, Fu Hua noticed that there was no shadow at Jill's feet.

Logically speaking, any living thing will inevitably cast a shadow when there is light.

However, if there is no shadow beneath one's feet, then this person can only be air, or an energy body without a physical form—

Moreover, the generation of an energy body must involve energy fluctuations, but Fu Hua did not sense the slightest energy fluctuation!

At that moment, a sensation like her hair standing on end came from the back of Fu Hua's head, and Fu Hua almost instinctively wanted to turn around—

The next moment, a hand pressed down on Fu Hua's head from behind, "Game over."

“…It’s happening again…” Fu Hua looked at the fading afterimage. “Teacher, you’re using this little trick again.”

In recent practice matches, Fu Hua has lost to this afterimage for the second time.

“However, I won’t use the same ability a third time, you should know that.” Jill smiled with narrowed eyes. “You lost, Fu Hua.”

"..."

Fu Hua sighed, "Alright, let's call it a day. After all, if you were really serious, I would have lost in the first round, right?"

Indeed, if Jill gets serious, and if Fu Hua doesn't unleash that peculiar hidden power within her, she would be defeated by Jill in a single move.

Putting everything else aside, Fu Hua simply has no way to defend against the terrifying speed that leaves afterimages in place. Moreover, Jill must be very strong, since she held back a lot of strength when she sparred with Fu Hua before.

"Alright, alright, that's it for today's practice. Everyone, you can all go home now." Jill waved and turned to leave the training ground.

……

Having been in this world for fifteen years, Jill has been searching through the ancient texts of this world for information about "Apocalypse" and Zoroastrianism, specifically about an existence called "Az Dakhaha" or "Az Dahaka," in an attempt to unravel the mystery of why that absolutely evil demon king became humanity's final trial.

However, after searching for about six years, Jill still found nothing.

Some time ago, Jill also gave up the idea of ​​continuing to search for information, since the Honkai world does not have a so-called "final trial for humanity", only the disaster of "Honkai".

While both "Honkai" and "Humanity's Final Trial" are terrifying disasters to some extent, and "Honkai" will become stronger and stronger, eventually destroying human civilization and forcing it to restart.

The "Final Trial of Mankind" is a trial that manifests to destroy humanity.

"Humanity, brought about by its own hands." This is the common thread of the final trial.

While there are differences, there are also similarities. Jill is also pondering, through all the materials she has read, what exactly the spirit of "Az Dakhaha" points to.

Logically, the spiritual rank attained by each human in their final trial should point to a source of destruction created by humanity itself.

The essence of humanity's final trial—

The exact nature of the "condition α that leads to the extinction of humanity" remains to be determined.

Moreover, Jill felt she was missing a very important clue.

If Jill had that clue, she would be certain that the mystery of "Az Dakha" would be completely solved!

Jill closed the other Zoroastrian book in her hand and muttered to herself, "Destroyed a third of the world...?"

That's part of the legend of Azdaqah, who, before being killed, destroyed a third of the world.

Gilmore stroked the characters on the book, as if he had thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face.

However, Jill's joy was short-lived, as Fu Hua came to speak with her.

"Teacher Gil... the third collapse has occurred."

Chapter 77 Justice from Heaven Needs No Umbrella!

"...So my dream is to leisurely read books and tutor my classmates. Why do you have to drag me into this?" Jill lay on the table, looking utterly dejected.

Indeed, since a collapse has occurred, the Far East Branch, which is closest to the collapse site, naturally has to be the first to go there.

"The Hyperion isn't even here, so you just randomly picked a plane to pull me up, and then you're planning to airdrop me as supplies, is that it..."

Jill looked at the white-haired girl on the screen in front of her and said, "Theresa, you really have the makings of a ruthless entrepreneur. Come and learn business from me... By the way, there was no raise this time, so I'm going to transform into a monster and smash up your office every day from now on."

On the other side of the screen, Theresa spat out a mouthful of unidentified green liquid. "You, who are richer than the entire Schicksal organization combined, still care about the meager salary I give you, which is practically nothing to you!?"

Gil replied righteously, "How can they be the same?! You must know that the reward for labor is completely different from the tribute offered by those subjects!"

This answer left Theresa speechless.

After all, spending your own money and spending money given to you feel completely different!

“…Ah, never mind, I figured you’d refuse if I asked you directly anyway, so I’ll just have Fu Hua make the request. You’re always soft-hearted with the children, you’ll definitely agree.” Theresa said, resting her chin on her hands.

If Theresa had glowing glasses, a dim background, and a desk lamp, she would look like the head of a criminal gang.

Hmm... never mind...

"Alright, I'll go get ready. We're starting the airdrop." Jill ended the call and glanced out the window at the ground below.

The weather was great today, with few clouds, and Jill could see the city below perfectly.

It was a city that Jill was somewhat familiar with.

After all, Jill had lived here for almost six years.

Changkong City—this is the city where Jill lived for six years after leaving Destiny, and where she spent the Far East preparing building materials, manpower, and so on for St. Freya Academy.

Now, this place has become a "dead city".

There are probably very few living humans left in the city, and those who are alive are likely turning into "suicide squads".

"I'll get off now, and you can head back later," Jill said to the pilot of the plane.

The driver was also a student at St. Freya Academy, a graduate from a few years ago, and happened to be a student in the class that Jill had taught.

She asked, a little worried, "Ms. Jill... are you okay... wait, Ms.! You didn't bring your parachute!"

"Teacher, I, the hero, don't need an umbrella!"

After saying that, Jill gave her a thumbs up.

Then he took a step forward and jumped directly out of the hatch!

While Jill was in the air, Hermes Boots activated instantly, allowing Jill to regain her balance just before she was about to fall to the ground.

Next, the driver was equipped by Jill.

The light shimmered as Jill donned a dragon armor that shimmered with a purplish-red light, but this time the dragon armor had no wings.

Because the bottle that Jill used to combine with the Honkai Full Bottle this time is a Full Bottle that symbolizes the power of Draig.

As soon as Jill landed, a voice came through his earpiece, "Hey kid, you really are the first one to arrive on the battlefield."

The voice was a woman's voice, with a slightly deep and husky tone. If you only listened to the voice, it was undoubtedly a very pleasant voice.

Gil's microphone inside his mask was moved to his mouth. "Himeko, shouldn't you be on a date?"

The woman's voice complained, "I wanted to continue, but Theresa said you might not even help, so she asked me to come too."

"Ha, just like that heartless little capitalist," Jill chuckled softly. "So, my mission is to search for survivors?"

Himeko's voice carried a certain matter-of-fact tone, "After all, you are a keen observer."

“If my dearest friend were here, I could relax a lot more… Anyway, I’m starting my search now. How much longer until you get here?” Jill asked as she took the 2nd relic from the Gate of Babylon.

As Gil condensed magic into bullets, he was also listening to Himeko's words, and the answer she gave left Gil feeling helpless.

"It will probably take another two hours or so. We're already on our way," Himeko's voice rang out again.

“Understood…” Jill abruptly pulled the trigger of her pistol, instantly blowing the head off a Claw assassin that was approaching her. “I know Changkong City fairly well, but even so, it will probably take me two hours to conduct the search. You’d better hurry up.”

Jill pulled the trigger again, and a magic bullet instantly blew the head off a rush-class Honkai Beast. "I still need to get my wages back from that heartless loli."

“After all, we’re not in Uruk anymore…” Jill raised her hand and smacked another scythe-wielding assassin on the head. “If you want the King of Heroes to work overtime, you’ll have to pay a hefty price!”

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of Changkong City.

"Since you're all dead, don't block my way!" A white-haired, blue-eyed girl was holding a pistol and firing at the zombies and Honkai Beasts that were protecting them on the road.

The reason I say "them" is because, in addition to the white-haired, blue-eyed girl, there was another black-haired girl present.

"Kiana, be careful." The black-haired girl, holding a katana, beheaded a suicide soldier as she spoke to Kiana.
