I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

[Absolute Evil] Azdakha, [Closed World], [Decadent Wind]...

“…I finally understand…the essence of the miniature garden.” Gil slowly leaned back on the bed and said softly.

"A world where human history is interdependent in time, a world where humans and gods are interdependent..."

Jill shook the documents in her hand.

“Interesting…interesting…” Jill narrowed her eyes. “So, where exactly is my limit…”

Four-digit number? Three-digit number?

No, that level isn't enough.

Jill lay down, "The Destruction Factor..."

If we were to make a conservative estimate, in Jill's perception, Celia was a top-tier, four-figure figure.

The second time Carlos was killed, there were already three players of mid-to-lower rank.

So what kind of beings are the top-tier ones? This is just a Devourer, not the [Primordial].

So how strong is the [Primordial]?

Two-digit number?

Or is he a powerhouse at the [Concept] level?

Or perhaps it's somewhere in between?

Jill rubbed her head, feeling a headache coming on.

At this moment, silvery-white light particles flickered.

Esther appeared beside Jill.

"Brother Gil." Esther curled up in Gil's arms like a kitten.

"What's wrong, Esther?" Gil patted Esther's little head. The little girl was so cute, just like a kitten.

"Brother Gil, are you in a bad mood?" Esther asked.

“No… I’m just feeling a bit sentimental,” Jill replied. “Estelle, do you ever think about going back for a visit?”

Esther tilted her head curiously. "Go back?"

“Let’s go back and see that world,” Jill said. “And while we’re at it, how about we visit Arecia too?”

"...Irecia, she..."

“If you don’t go and see for yourself, there are some things you’re destined to never be able to let go of, right?” Jill ruffled Esther’s hair, making it messy. “Esther, you can’t let go of your guilt over killing Arecia, but have you ever thought that Arecia was one of those ‘victims’?”

"[The victim]?"

"Voluntarily sacrificing one's life to bring peace to the world..."

Gil raised the corners of his mouth. "You're a hero... although I can't agree with the fact that Enkidu sealed you away in the end."

"After all, I want to prioritize the feelings of those around me..."

"Thank you... Brother Gil..."

"I've said it a few times already... There's nothing to thank me for, is there?" Jill smiled helplessly. "Get a good night's sleep... After we've dealt with everything in this world, we'll start dealing with the Destruction Factor and the concept of Destruction."

"Okay, goodnight, Gil."

Goodnight, Esther.

Jill held Esther in her arms to make her more comfortable while she slept.

After a while, Esther's breathing became steady, and she had fallen asleep.

"It's like an old father coaxing his daughter to sleep."

A slightly mocking voice came from the windowsill, and Enkidu jumped in through the window.

Because she noticed that Esther was already asleep,

"It doesn't seem like it," Gilles replied with a wry smile, responding to Enkidu's words. "Shouldn't it be the older brother putting the younger sister to sleep?"

“The final battle is coming soon—I will fight Azdahaha with you then.” Enkidu looked at Jill seriously and said, “I will beat it to a pulp.”

“Then let’s make a pact.” Gilles looked at Enkidu. “If there is any danger, never go in and risk fighting.”

Chapter Fifteen: Taking it a step further, and then another step further?

three days later.

There is only one day left until Azdakarha breaks free from his seal during humanity's final trial.

Inside the castle, everyone was busily preparing for their work.

Jill was no exception.

However, it seems he only kicked the people out and hid in his room, doing who knows what.

Black Rabbit was quite worried about Gilles's condition, but Enkidu didn't seem flustered at all, so Black Rabbit didn't say anything.

Otto offered only a simple assessment of what Gil was doing.

"He's taking it a step further; he's already feeling the pressure."

A sense of crisis?

When Black Rabbit heard this, his ears perked up immediately.

Isn't the final trial for humanity something that even the King of Heroes can handle? Why then do I still feel a sense of crisis?

"Don't worry, that's our business..." Kevin said upon returning. "However, he probably really feels a sense of crisis."

A sense of crisis?

The rabbit's ears twitched; it felt like something was amiss.

Because Jill had locked herself in her room for almost half a day.

Doesn't he need to eat?

Although I know that powerful beings at that level don't necessarily need to eat, but...

Jill, who makes no attempt to hide her desires, actually refuses to eat?

Black Rabbit thought about it for a while, but in the end, he didn't have the courage to bother Jill.

After all, this is a crucial factor in determining whether a certain hero king will pick up a rabbit and play with it as a toy.

Inside the room, Jill was indeed doing something very daring.

That is, to use the spiritual essence of the third perpetual motion machine for myself.

……

"The third perpetual motion machine... it has to be said to be a magical existence." After absorbing the spirit of the third perpetual motion machine, Jill successfully integrated it into her soul.

The benefits of the creative factor are obvious.

His Destruction Factor ability made him immune to all negative curses and negative emotions.

His ability to create factors allows him to encompass everything, enabling his own magic to transform into any system of power without alteration.

What he needs to do is not only to take it a step further, but also to build upon that foundation and take it a step further!

The spirit of the third perpetual motion machine can provide him with a continuous source of magic.

In addition to his ability to create factors, Jill will find it much easier to use abilities such as Ea or Another Cosmology continuously.

Even if a buffer period is needed, it will definitely not be too long.

This gives Jill a greater chance of winning when fighting the Destruction Factor in the future.

Moreover, the destructive factors have not been completely eliminated.

Of the twelve EX-level Destruction Factors, Sequence Twelve, Sequence Eight, and Sequence One are already dead...

However, the current problem is something else entirely.

First, Jill found a way to prevent "Avesta" from imitating her cosmology and to be restrained.

After using this method, Jill will be able to defeat Azdakha.

The prerequisite is that someone can help him hold off those Azdaqah who are equivalent to gods.

Everything is ready.

However, Jill had also taken the final blow into account—it had to be delivered by a human.

However, choosing Izayoi to deliver the final blow back then seems a bit inappropriate now.

Izayoi is arrogant. Making his companions fight with all their might while he delivers the final blow without any risk must have made him very unhappy.

In addition, a month ago, Gil sacrificed his life to block Azdakka and cover Izayoi's escape with Black Rabbit, which undoubtedly made this proud young man unhappy.

So upon hearing Otto say that Gil had returned, the boy immediately sprang into action, rushing out, ostensibly to avenge the failed Gift Game at the Dragon Birth Festival—

But Gil and Izayoi both knew each other very well.

Izayoi is venting her dissatisfaction in her own way.

Dissatisfied with their own weakness, dissatisfied with the fact that they could only escape by relying on the sacrifice of their companions.

They were also dissatisfied that Jill had chosen to sacrifice herself...

Izayoi, who has always possessed great strength and is relied upon by her companions, is naturally dissatisfied with this matter.

After much deliberation, Jill could only sigh inwardly and abandon her final idea.

After all, asking Izayoi to do that would really put him in a difficult position.

Considering this... after much deliberation, Gil didn't say that to Izayoi in the end.

He values ​​the people around him highly, and he values ​​their feelings more than the long term.

But if that's the case... then who should we choose?

Kevin? Or Keitel? Or perhaps Otto? Chenxi?

Otto is out of the question. Although he seems to be able to go toe-to-toe with a Herrscher, Azir Dakah is stronger than a Herrscher even when he's low on health. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Otto can't fly either, so pass.
