I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

No, this can no longer be called a "deity".

It's like something that happened at the very beginning of the world.

That is creation.

That was destruction...

That is……

"Thump!" The impact of the white figure sent the black figure flying a great distance.

"Let it burn..."

Flames slowly ignited on the white figure.

If you look closely, you'll see that the white figure's armor has many damaged areas, clearly indicating that the clash with the black figure has also caused him considerable harm.

"Enough with the farce and the charade, Joker," Jill said in a suppressed voice.

"Ah, this is quite enjoyable. All the other opponents are too weak. So far, no opponent has been able to play with me for this long... Haha, I'll say it's pretty good." Will Summers laughed heartily, and then raised the long staff in his hand once more.

“The finale,” Wilsamus murmured.

Seeing that Will Summers was no longer insane but completely normal, Jill responded with her own actions.

"Ah, this is indeed the last one. I will use all my strength in this strike to defeat you." Jill casually threw the white, tattered weapon behind her, and then white flames burst into flames on her body.

Chapter Seventy-Seven: That is our inescapable fate

White flames continuously erupted from Jill's body, enveloping her entirely, making her appear as if she were wearing a white, burning feather robe.

Meanwhile, a jet-black light continuously surged from Willsamors' body, while the black light, similar to the white flames attached to Jill's body, gradually receded and eventually disappeared completely.

thump...

White stars and the sun appeared behind Jill.

A vast and immense power surged forth instantly.

A vicious expression appeared on Will Summers' clown face.

"Star Creator activated!" The white flames on Jill's body transformed into the most dazzling white star. "Let all things rise from nothing, simulate Another Cosmology!"

The power known as the Star Creator transformed into a star and was imprinted on Jill's body. A massive pillar of light erupted instantly, engulfing Wilsamus!

Wilsamus let out a scream that could only be described as a desperate cry, but Jill could clearly feel it—

"Didn't disappear?"

Unlike the last time when Jill directly attacked Carlos, Willsamers did not disappear...?

"Something...is wrong!"

Jill realized something, and her magic power immediately surged once again.

"...Ah, I didn't expect you to be so vigilant. But this power is still a bit weak, and it really hurts."

As the pure white light released by Jill disappeared, another figure stood there.

White hair, blood-red eyes.

He was only slightly shorter than Jill, with a angular, middle-aged face.

"However, that's enough. I just didn't expect you could do that," the white-haired man said, raising the corners of his mouth.

"You... are not Wilsamus. Perhaps the seventh EX-level Destruction Factor really is Wilsamus, but you are not a Devourer..."

It is not a Devourer, yet it possesses the ability to mimic a Devourer, along with such immense destructive power and raw strength...

Therefore, it couldn't possibly be scum of the level of a destructive species or a possessing species, so there's only one answer.

Jill gritted her teeth, “[The Primal].”

One of the original six Destruction Factors, although now only five remain, but...

“The third in the sequence, the [Primordial] [Redeemer].” The old man raised the corners of his mouth. “Inkarst, call me that.”

The aura emanating from the opponent was already quite strong, comparable to that of Azdaha. Furthermore, given that the opponent possessed the concept of "destruction," he was definitely stronger than Azdaha.

"Oh, then there's no need to continue this conversation."

White flames surged around Jill once again.

"Hahahaha, let's not fight anymore. After all... you don't know what kind of impact the power shrunk into [Creation] will have on [Destruction], do you?" Inkarst laughed loudly, and then, jet-black and pure white light surged from his body.

Jill's eyes widened at that moment.

“Unlike you, I’ve managed to control my destructive impulses very well.” Inkarst raised the corners of his mouth. “Because it’s something the six of us have to do, and it’s a destiny we can never escape.”

Karst uttered these nonsensical words, then raised his hand again, letting black and white light flow across his arm.

“There are still three guys, number two, four, and six, who haven’t regained their memories yet.” Inkarst looked at Jill. “However, it seems Otto still hasn’t told you anything. So, to ensure the plan goes smoothly, I’ll wait until you return to the front lines and then we can talk properly.”

Then, a golden portal suddenly appeared beside him. Inkarst stepped into the portal and disappeared.

Jill remained silent for a long time before slowly lowering her hand, her brows furrowed deeply.

This guy said a whole bunch of strange and incoherent things...

Tsk!

Gil smacked his lips forcefully, and finally slowly dissipated the power within him. The white light gradually disappeared, and [Creative Star's Extreme Tyrant Dragon] transformed back into [Red King's Extreme Tyrant Dragon].

A whole host of things got tangled up together, and Jill was very unhappy about the intense sense of unease she felt.

"...Ah, never mind, let's deal with the things in this world first."

Jill scratched her head and then looked into the distance.

"I don't want to believe in fate either."

Jill clicked her tongue. "Anyway, who cares about all that? Just do what you're supposed to do."

……

At this moment.

the other side.

"We're about to set off for the Crimson Death Desert. Is there anything we should be careful about there?"

In the throne room of Doragonia, Enkidu was discussing with the Dragon King about traveling to the Crimson Death Desert.

“You’re going there… That makes sense. There’s something important there, and it wouldn’t be good not to go get it. Besides, if what that man said is true, then the truth about the Demon King must also be related to that guy, the Holy Elf King.”

The Dragon King pondered for a moment, then said to Enkidu, "There aren't many things to be careful about, but more importantly, it's about those girls. For you, just be careful not to damage the [Demon King's Tomb] carelessly."

“Well then, thank you.” Enkidu nodded. “We’ll make some preparations and set off in two days at most. Gil has already headed straight for the Holy Kingdom, so our actions here naturally need to be expedited as well.”

The Dragon King suggested, "Shall I let the children follow you?"

“No, no need. I think too many people can sometimes have the opposite effect…” Enkidu shook his head. “But thank you anyway.”

"To be honest, I still can't believe it after hearing what he said... But, well." The Dragon King laughed, looking out of the throne room with a gentle expression, "I must say, this world is very beautiful. My lord once said that she really likes this world... So, I also hope to protect this world, instead of letting the so-called 'creation after destruction' make it disappear."

“If that’s really the case, I feel that this world will no longer be the world we know. What I’m looking out for are the children of this country, and my children may not necessarily like that kind of world…” The Dragon King looked at Enkidu and said seriously, “Go ahead and do it without worry. I will do everything I can to help.”

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Departure, Heading Towards the Crimson Desert!

“Before we go to the Crimson Death Desert, we must pass through the Alphas Church.” Rubia was discussing the specifics of the journey to the Crimson Death Desert with Lian.

"Moreover, the climate there is not easy to endure, so we need to bring enough fresh water in advance." Lian nodded. "There are also some elf ores that may not be usable. Apart from fire-type elves and earth-type elves, very few elves can tolerate the climate there."

Rubia glanced at Ren with some surprise. Ren blinked. "My master told me that he went there to find Enkidu back then. Although he didn't find any Demon King's tomb, he still managed to come out after going around in circles."

"Moreover, Master gave me this." Lian took out a ring that shimmered with golden light and was inlaid with several gorgeous gems. "It is said to be a ring that can store a considerable amount of things, and it already contains the tool that Master used to navigate the Crimson Death Desert."

Rubia nodded. "That person is very reliable, so I don't think there's a big problem with that. On the contrary, you should make sure you don't lose this thing."

"I will keep it safe, so you can rest assured." Lian placed the ring in her bosom. "I'm leaving the preparation of supplies to you."

“Then, let me ask you another question. What decision did you make to fight against the Holy King? Was it to truly obtain that power... or…?” Rubia asked Lian.

“I will gain that power, and I will truly settle this grudge on my own.” Lian’s eyes showed a determined look. “Master has already helped me so much, and I don’t want to continue like this. I will not grow if I always hide behind Master. I will start to handle many things on my own.”

Rubia nodded. "Then I will support you too."

"Thank you," Lian nodded and said.

……

"Phew, we've finally arrived." Gil stopped Vimana just before reaching the border of the Holy Kingdom of Lugia.

Further ahead was the enemy's airspace. Although the enemy's ships' attacks couldn't penetrate Vimona's armor, being constantly harassed by the bugs was troublesome, so Jill simply stopped there.

As she reached out, a hat made of black cloth strips fell from the golden ripples and was caught by Jill's hand.

Jill raised her hand and put Hades' invisibility helmet on her head, and her figure disappeared from the spot in the next instant.

Hades' invisibility helmet can conceal the user's body and scent, but it cannot block out smells and sounds.

I vaguely remember that in another timeline, Ilya almost got discovered because of the strong smell of Mapo Tofu, even though she used Hades' invisibility helmet to infiltrate the Einzworth family's house after eating Mapo Tofu.

Fortunately, Jill wasn't particularly interested in strongly flavored food, and her breakfast was relatively light and easy to digest. Plus, Jill had no one to talk to while she was infiltrating—

In short, unless it's a true miracle, once Jill puts on Hades' invisibility helmet, she can freely enter and exit any place, no matter how tight the security is—

Unless you have anti-stealth devices, such as thermal imaging devices, but such technology is impossible in this world.

While some Pokémon can sense a person's presence through smell or other senses, Gil doesn't become helpless just because he's detected...

Jill decided to enter by hiding her body in order to avoid some trouble.

While fighting their way in would also be a good option, to prevent the Holy Kingdom from using this as an excuse to start a war, disrupt the order of the human world, and cause the gate to another world to open, Gil chose to [hide his form].

Being cautious in your actions is sometimes a good choice; otherwise, how do you think Gilgamesh lost in FSN?

If it were the wise king or Gilgamesh in his youth, both of them would be well prepared. The opponent would probably not come out unscathed and would be beaten half to death by various Noble Phantasms and magic before being killed outright.

Look at what Gilgamesh did back then.

Gilles believed that if he hadn't appeared, the opponent might have been chopped in the elbow and shot in the head without even being able to use Ea in that Holy Grail War.

It's possible that their attack was blocked by the idyllic paradise of A valon, which is far removed from the world, and they were then blasted to death at close range by the sword of Excalibur, or perhaps they were swallowed by the black mud without even having to lift a finger...
