I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"Aaaaaahhhhhh—!" The tearing pain made the Holy King grit his teeth, but could he really suppress the pain with just that?

That was naturally impossible, so the Holy King let out a painful cry.

Something's wrong——

Something is wrong.

There was absolutely no way to fight back...!

Speed, strength, divine might, even the very existence of this person—this person is simply too powerful!

"Will the power behind the summoned [Gate] destroy and rebuild the world?"

Jill stared at the dark pillar of light. "Then I'll show you how I shatter your unrealistic dreams right here!"

"End of the world activated!" A black power swelled up from Jill's body, causing the entire world to tremble—the activation of destructive power!

"Listen to the silence of extinction!"

Jill reached out her hand towards the dark pillar of light, and a light even darker than the pillar of light bloomed from Jill's hand—

"Let all things perish here, simulated cosmology!"

The pitch-black light that condensed in Jill's hands transformed into a world-destroying black pillar of light, instantly engulfing everything!

The "door" opened by the dark beam of light was instantly destroyed!

"Are you insane?!" The Holy King struggled to look at Gil. "If you do this, you'll directly cause the rest of the Elf Kings to...!"

"No way?" Jill looked at the Holy King, and as if teleporting, she grabbed the Holy King by the neck and lifted her up. "Do you think I'll make the same mistake again after I've already made it once?"

“What I destroyed was the concept of the ‘Gate,’ and along with it, the connection between the ‘Gate’ and the sacrifice.” Gil approached the Holy King, his dark eyes fixed on him. “This is your dream, unrealistic, and as fragile as a candle in the wind. A flower in a mirror, a moon in the water—even if it weren’t me, someone else could have stopped you.”

Accompanied by a light effect that seemed to cleanse, the layer of dark light on Jill's body gradually disappeared, turning back into the original white and emerald green light.

“Venom…” As Jill spoke, an invisible force swept through the space, enveloping the Holy King like a hazy mist.

Then, as if throwing away trash, Gil tossed the Holy Elf King onto the floor and walked toward the direction from which the dark pillar of light had risen.

"You...you won't kill me?" The Holy King knelt on the ground, looking at Gil who was about to leave, and asked in surprise.

"No, I don't need to talk too much with the dead."

As if remembering something, Jill turned around and picked up the Demon Slayer—the original form of Tiruminus Ester—that had flown to the side earlier.

"What are you saying...!" At this moment, the Holy King suddenly felt a piercing pain.

The pain was like having a sharp needle drilled into the bones of a living person, causing the Holy King to scream in agony and roll around on the ground.

Blood flowed uncontrollably from the Holy King's mouth, nostrils, ears, and eye sockets, staining her face red.

The so-called bleeding from all seven orifices refers to this situation.

"This is...! What the hell?!?!" Even if Arecia's face was beautiful, the way it was contorted with pain made it anything but pretty.

Jill turned her head. "That's my ability, of course. I told you, I'll make you die in the most painful way."

"That's an ability I once abandoned." From the wings on Gil's back, Albion spoke as if he wanted the Holy King to die knowing why.

"The true body is a kind of poison, and its target is all existence other than inorganic matter. As long as it is a living thing, if it is poisoned by my poison, then everything that forms life, whether it is blood, bones, organs or soul, will be reduced. Therefore, it is called reduction."

“Unless it’s the Crimson Dragon Emperor, or someone with exceptionally powerful abilities, or your true self, they might be immune to this toxin… But you, resurrected through Arecia’s body, can’t escape.” Gil, with his back to Holy King Alexander, slowly closed his eyes. “This is your final act, your true final act.”

"The Reduction Poison... I don't like using poison, but because you did something I absolutely cannot forgive," Jill said in a cold tone, "because you plotted against my dearest friend, causing him pain..."

"Therefore, I will use this power as your final act—farewell, Holy King Alexander."

Chapter Eighty-Eight: Ending in this world, moving on to the next.

In a dark space.

"Oh...it looks like that guy made a stupid decision."

In Lian's consciousness, the body of the Dark Elf King slowly turned into specks of light and began to dissipate.

"What are you..."

Lian was also a little confused when she saw the Dark Elf King.

"Because her power has completely disappeared, right? And since you subconsciously resisted my power, it seems I'll have to hand over my power to you almost entirely as well?"

The girl gave a sly smile. "So, this is where we say goodbye. Please apologize to me and them for me."

"Wait...!" Lian reached out, wanting to grab the Dark Elf King, but another hand reached out and grasped Lian's hand.

The girl turned around and saw a girl with beautiful, long, dark hair holding her hand, looking at the Dark Elf King.

The two looked so alike that for a moment Lian almost couldn't tell them apart.

"Restia..."

However, thanks to their years of tacit understanding, Ren still recognized who the girl was.

"Have you made up your mind?" Restia asked the Dark Elf King.

The Dark Elf King laughed.

It was a smile as fleeting as a bubble.

"The rest is up to you... Go and take a look at Osdekiah."

The dream abruptly ended there.

……

"...It's over."

Jill looked at the Demon Slayer in her hand with a complicated expression.

Under the influence of "poison" that diminishes even the soul, the Holy King naturally could not escape the fate of death.

"...In the very end, shall I treat Esther kindly?" Gil looked at the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword in his hand, which had originally belonged to the Holy King. "Will you hate me, Esther?"

The Demon-Slaying Holy Sword flickered with light, and then the elven mark on Gil's right hand lit up.

Esther appeared and took the Demon Slayer from Jill's hand.

“Brother, leave this to me,” Esther said to Gil.

"Oh?" Jill ruffled Esther's hair. "Then, it's up to you?"

“Hmm…” Esther nodded.

Gil turned around and walked toward the temple where the five—no, now only the four Elf Kings resided.

"It's finally here."

The first thing I heard was this sentence.

The water spirit queen with hair as beautiful as lake water—no, the one standing here now is the real Isalia.

"Ha, I saved you all perfectly well, what kind of impolite tone is this?"

Jill chuckled. "But there's no need for formalities, since I'll be leaving soon."

"It seems you're the only one who's recovered?" Jill asked.

"Indeed, Fire may have been slightly injured because of your attack, Beval and Rod Gia are still asleep, and I am fine in the end because you freed me."

Isalia looked at Gil, "So, in this world..."

“For me, there’s not much left to cherish.” Gil paused. “However, this world has given me pleasant memories and brought me joy… Haha, it might be embarrassing to say…”

"But I don't hate this world, because there are people in this world who care about me." Gil gazed into the distance. "By the way, Isalia, before I leave, I have a favor to ask of you. It's just a small matter in the mortal world, but could you help me out?"

"Of course, what's wrong with not allowing this condition when facing the savior of this world?"

"Well then, that's settled then—"

……

A month later.

The world order has undergone significant upheaval and change.

In order to destroy the world and start anew, the Holy Elf King Alexander moved the entire Holy Capital of the Holy Lugia Kingdom to the Elemental Elf Realm and sacrificed all people to open the gate to another world.

Although it failed, it still caused quite serious consequences and panic.

The Holy Lugia Kingdom was once subjected to unequal treaties by several countries, but one person stepped forward to protect it.

That person is the current Queen of the Austrian Empire, Fiona Austria.

"Even if a holy king makes many mistakes, he must never implicate the people."

However, one person alone is not enough—

Even the Water Spirit King stepped in to mediate the matter.

Because the Elf King issued a decree to mediate, those nations that were planning to reignite the war were also silenced.

The reigning king of Odyssia was forced to abdicate under the threat of the Elf King's decree: "If this incompetent king is not removed from the throne, I will bring natural disasters upon the country."

Meanwhile, at this very moment, in Osdukia...

"It's time to leave."

Gil addressed Enkidu in this way.

"My lord, please take me with you... Ah—!" Upon hearing this, Kusanagi immediately declared his intention to follow his lord.

But Lian smacked him hard on the head with a chop to the head, yelling, "Come help me!"

"Hahaha, no, Kusanagi, you're still too naive." Gil shook his head slightly. "However, this time I'll take you there, to that world."

"Thank you very much, Wang!"

“Then Master…” Lian looked pitiful and spoke to Jill.

"...It's not impossible...Anyway, that heartless little capitalist shouldn't mind taking in one more person."

Jill stroked her chin and then spoke.

Then even the corner of his eye twitched.

Unscrupulous capitalists?
