I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"I want the people I protect to never be hurt again..."

“So I just try to perfect the plan as much as possible during the mission… even if it’s a little tiring, it’s nothing.” Gil looked at Enkidu. “But thank you, Enkidu, it feels much better to have all this out in the open.”

“...You’re not the same as before,” Enkidu said.

“Who can remain unchanged?” Gil smiled, responding to Enkidu’s words.

“…Then, give me half of what you’re carrying.” Enkidu looked at Gilles.

"What you want to protect, what you want to endure, what you want to destroy, what you hate... give me half of it." Enkidu looked at Gilles. "We are best friends, best friends who walk side by side."

Chapter 105 Ann Duroin and Ann

“…Thank you…” Jill murmured softly.

“Since we agreed to split the burden in half, I’ll go on the next mission with you,” Enkidu said.

“Ha, no problem.” Jill nodded.

As for St. Freya Academy, I'll talk to Himeko about it later and ask her to stay and help Theresa.

If Enkidu went with him, the chance of an accident would be almost zero.

Even a Herrscher would only be able to flee in defeat or die on the spot when faced with Enkidu's Noble Phantasm.

The Purification Noble Phantasm against a Herrscher in the Purification phase seems like an absolute sure thing.

Jill yawned and rubbed her forehead. "Never mind, I should get up and write the action plan..."

As soon as Jill got up, she saw the Enkidu (Heavenly Lock) in the golden ripples.

After pondering for two seconds, Jill obediently climbed back into bed and casually pulled her blanket over herself.

I can't beat them, I can't beat them...

What do you mean by cowardly? This isn't cowardice. How can you call it cowardice when it comes to Wang's affairs? This is the care of a close friend!

He touched it... and with that thought in mind, Jill closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

However, things didn't go as planned.

Jill's cell phone suddenly rang.

Enkidu answered the phone.

"Hey?"

"Gil...no, is that Enkidu's voice?"

Enkidu listened to the voice on the other end of the phone and paused, "Theresa?"

Gil pricked up his ears, his back to Enkidu, and listened to the phone call.

Although Jill's hearing isn't very good, she can still hear the phone at this distance.

“Jill is resting now, so I'll answer the phone for her.”

"The workaholic is finally willing to rest... That's great. So if he works overtime for more than 24 hours without sleep in the future, please drag him back home..." Theresa's voice sounded more relieved.

"Theresa, let me ask you a question. Does your St. Freya have a lot of official duties?"

"Actually, no, and most of the work is handled by me and my secretary... As for Jill, he usually handles his own work and some of the tasks assigned to him. I've tried to persuade him several times, but he won't listen."

Theresa's words were filled with deep helplessness.

Jill felt a little warm in bed.

Oh my god, I have a feeling that Theresa sold me out?

Deli's so stupid, Deli's so stupid, she actually betrayed her teammates!

"Fu Hua tried to persuade him a few times, but it was no use—Fu Hua is the class monitor of the class he teaches. I used to just call to urge him to rest, but now that he's resting, that's great. I'll hang up now, and I'll leave the rest to you, Enkidu."

"Okay, I understand." Enkidu sighed deeply and hung up the phone.

“I’m too tired to talk to you anymore, Gil.” Enkidu frowned deeply. “I’m wondering if I have to make you look like you’re ten years old again before you’ll stop working overtime.”

Jill broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

It wasn't that his body was weak before, but in terms of combat power, it would be difficult to defeat Enkidu. He would probably be instantly killed by Enkidu's Chains of Heaven if he made a mistake...

"No way, impossible, go to sleep." Jill quickly typed three times and indicated that she would obediently get a good night's sleep.

I might try smashing all the age-reducing potions in my Gate of Babylon later...

This thing looks really dangerous!

At that moment, an intense drowsiness swept over Jill's mind.

Ah, this blanket is so comfortable...

Darkness enveloped Jill's vision.

……

tick...

Where am I?

"By this command, you are made the primordial messenger."

It was a dark figure.

“Your name is Ann Duloin.”

The body... is out of control? Is this Ann Duroin's memory?

His dark eyes were fixed on Jill's direction, as if trying to pierce through his soul.

"Go and fulfill your mission."

……

"So why do we need such a perfect plan?!"

At that moment, our Dean, Theresa Apocalypse, was writing plans in her office.

He complained loudly as he wrote.

Himeko looked at her helplessly, "There's no other way, it's necessary for Gil to get some rest, isn't it?"

"Ugh... I know! You wretched guy... Himeko, you don't need to go on this mission. Enkidu will go with Gilgamesh. I know what you're worried about, but Enkidu is someone who can beat Gilgamesh. With him and her there, even if a Herrscher comes, or even a fully awakened Herrscher, they'll have to go around them."

Theresa crumpled the plan paper with the second problem she had written down into a ball and threw it into the trash can. "Anyway, I'll leave it to them. I'm not worried."

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, Headmaster." Himeko sighed, her tone full of helplessness.

Anyway, let them make a scene... that man won't just ignore everything.

……

here it is……

Jill felt as if she were being bound by something.

"Oh, you're awake?" A voice that was unfamiliar yet strangely familiar reached Jill's senses.

Who?

Ah... how should I put it? I should say I am you, or you are me.

Black particles slowly coalesced in the white space.

Wearing a black trench coat, her black hair was styled into a side-swept fringe that covered her left eye, while her right eye shone with a golden light. Her appearance was quite ordinary; if it weren't for her unusual eyes and hairstyle, she would probably be the kind of person who blends into a crowd and goes unnoticed.

"Hey, how have you been lately?"

……I?

"Yes, yes, you should have heard of my name, right?"

The fair-skinned young man smiled. "My name is An."

Ann... Ann Duroin?!

Jill stared wide-eyed at the young man before her.

"Don't be so hostile... I'm already dead. This spirit of mine only appeared because you activated my power last time." Ann smiled. "By the way, just call me Ann. There's no need to add the suffix 'Duroin'."

"..." Jill frowned. "You... could read my mind just now, right?"

Jill hadn't spoken yet when the other person answered the question that was on his mind, which made Jill realize something.

“Yes, because we are one person—or rather, we share the same concept. Apart from our own existence and some other unique differences, we can basically be said to be the same.” An smiled, squinting her eyes.

"And it's precisely because it's in this world that I can tell you now that those people are gone—so I'll tell you the truth about the birth of the Destruction Factor."

Chapter 106 [Sin]

"The truth?" Jill raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, for example, how did the concept of destruction come about—destruction factor and creation factor, and the so-called world template?” An’s figure floated and came to Jill’s side. “After all, you and I are one existence, or rather, the manifestation of one existence.”

Jill raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying it.

Whether Jill and Ann Duroin are real persons is highly debatable.

Because Jill is no longer simply an embodiment of the primordial destructive factor.

Gilgamesh's body comes from the hero-king Gilgamesh, his memories and spirit come from a certain personality of Chenxi, and his soul is the embodiment of the destructive factor purified by Ann Duroin.

And these two entities had long ago, with the help of Yuji Sakai, merged into one: Jill's soul and her physical body.

Therefore, Gilgamesh's existence is quite special; he is neither Gilgamesh alone nor Androin alone, nor can it be said that he is simply a combination of the two.

Rather, after traveling to so many worlds, Jill herself is a unique being.

It is not a destructive factor that brings calamity to the world.

He is not the lofty hero-king sitting high above you.

Gil is willing to call himself the Hero King because he inherited the will of the Wise King and the will to protect the world.

Jill doesn't deny his identity as a Destruction Factor because that is indeed who he is.
