I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Well, nowadays, someone could call her a little girl without any problem, so this little fist is also fine.

"Let go of me!"

……

"...Pfft, hahahahahahahaha..."

Himeko looked at Gil in his current state, slammed her hand on the table, and had a look on her face that was about to burst out laughing; she was practically rolling on the floor.

"It's been three minutes already. If you don't stop, I'll take care of you right now." Gil's face darkened as he looked at Himeko.

“Theresa, this child’s jokes are hilarious. She said she and that cold-faced workaholic are the same person… No, I might laugh for a while longer…”

Himeko took a couple of breaths, then saw Theresa sigh helplessly.

Theresa walked up to Himeko and handed her a photograph.

That photo is a group photo of four people.

A white-haired youth, a white-haired woman, Theresa, and a blond, short-haired boy with an impatient expression.

"……this……"

“This is Jill from ten years ago, look how much she looks.” Theresa handed the photo to Himeko.

Himeko held the photo and noticed that apart from her facial features being softer and her hair being a little longer—

Almost no difference.

"...That's quite surprising." Himeko took the photo, looked at the boy's face carefully, and then looked at Gil. "I still remember the smug look on your face when I first saw Gil."

"Should I say that you guys have nerves as thick as century-old trees?" Jill complained. "Something so magical, yet not fantastical or scientific, is happening right in front of you, and you don't even show the slightest surprise or shout 'This is not scientific!'"

"..." The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Theresa sighed, "Ever since you single-handedly killed the Herrscher in Siberia, I've not believed that science can prove anything about you—and then what you said to me yesterday, even if I'm slow on the uptake, I can tell that you're absolutely unscientific."

“…That’s a rather rude way to put it.” Jill shrugged. “Well, whatever. I’m here to deliver something.”

Jill stretched out her hand, and golden ripples shimmered in the air before she unleashed a strange amulet.

“…You’ve got the wrong one.” Jill paused for a moment, then quickly reached out and tossed the amulet into the Gate of Babylon, before taking out something that looked like a ring.

“Something that can shield your aura, although not very effective, it should at least be able to cover the Honkai energy on your body.” Gil tossed the ring to Mei. “You can just put it in your pocket. As long as it doesn’t exceed two meters from your body, it will work.”

"This is also a measure to prevent you from being targeted. That bastard came to see me just now. Don't ask about the result, anyway, I didn't give him a good look."

Jill glanced at Theresa, and seeing that she didn't react at all, she looked at Kiana and said, "You can go out without worry. I want to see if Otto has the guts to capture you and use you to threaten Siegfried."

"Threatening Dad? What's going on?" Kiana slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, staring intently at Gil.

“What could possibly happen… Never mind, if your old man won’t tell you, then I don’t need to tell you either.” Gil half-closed his eyes. “That’s just how it is—and I guess Otto has probably gone back obediently by now.”

Going back obediently is out of the question; our Lord Otto is heading towards Fu Hua's dormitory.

Unfortunately—

"Sorry, this road is blocked." A girl with long green hair blocked his way.

“…You are…” Otto frowned. The fact that this girl appeared before him meant without a doubt—

"Don't make things difficult for that Crimson Mandarin Duck Immortal." Golden chains began to surge around Enkidu. "Unless you think you can defeat me."

"who are you?"

"Me?" Enkidu tilted his head. "You know Gil's real name, so you should know mine, right?"

Otto paused for a moment, then his face gradually darkened.

Gil—referring naturally to the hero-king Gilgamesh who has now become a little girl.

The girl in front of us had said this using lip reading during the day—

"Please leave. My friend is resting. If you disturb her, I will beat you up without hesitation."

Gilgamesh's friend.

The clues are very simple and clear; they might be difficult to find in other ancient figures.

Because it's impossible for a person to have only one friend.

However, Gilgamesh was an exception.

There is only one person who can call himself a friend of that proud king.

“…Enkidu.” Otto’s face slowly darkened as he uttered the name of the person before him, word by word.

"Bingo, although he's quite obsessed, he doesn't seem to have completely lost his mind yet."

Enkidu casually responded to Otto's guess, "Yes, I am indeed Enkidu—"

“…Tsk!” Otto clicked his tongue, then turned and left.

Unless he's out of his mind, he wouldn't think he can defeat Enkidu in front of him.

Historical records describe him as a powerful figure who could rival Gilgamesh in a head-on confrontation, their bravery and skill holding their own...

And who knows if they hurt Enkidu, will that Hero King, who has turned into a loli, go crazy when he turns back?!

His life can only be taken by one person—neither Gilgamesh nor Enkidu can take his life!

Chapter 138 Otto's Little Scheme

"Uooooohhhh!"

On the beach, Kusanagi, already clad in his armor, roared and charged toward Ren.

"It's too obvious!" Lian, holding a jet-black longsword, immediately saw through Kusanagi's charge. She sidestepped to avoid Kusanagi's frontal attack, and at the same time, her demonic sword slashed out horizontally!

"Clang!" The sound of metal clashing rang out as Kusanagi's left arm blocked the demonic sword, and a burst of dazzling sparks erupted.

"Huh? Not bad. You took this hit yesterday and then disarmed yourself," Ren replied, somewhat surprised.

"Who would fall for the same move twice! Take this!" In an instant, Kusanagi leaped to the side, his right hand slamming down on the handle—

"Crack up Finish!"

The purple power overflowed, transforming into a giant crocodile's snout, which fiercely bit down on Lian!

However, a dark divine power suddenly swelled up from Lian's body, completely blocking the crocodile's bite.

That was the divine power emanating from the black feather robe on Lian's body.

That's the armor of the Demon King Solomon, called the Robe of the Supreme.

This garment isn't some kind of elven costume or magical attire for an elven incarnation; to be precise, it's just a piece of clothing.

However, this garment was not only made of fabric, but also carried a "curse".

The curse on this garment can absorb energy and also deflect a certain amount of physical attacks.

However, after putting on this outfit, Lian's speed would decrease by at least 20%.

The Demon King Solomon was not a warrior known for his speed, and the curse on the robe affected Lian's divine power to some extent.

Then, after Jill took it and returned it, the robe changed from its original coat style to a haori style. The curse on it seemed to have weakened a bit, but when Lian wore it, it still had that powerful defensive ability, only the part that hindered speed was gone.

“It’s just forcibly synchronizing the curse with your divine power, what’s so strange about that?” Jill retorted at the time.

It's really strange!

You should know that when Jill said that, a certain princess who had considerable skill in elven magic almost went mad...

Lotus herself doesn't know much about elven magic, and her skills aren't deep, but just how difficult is the thing that Fiona's Way of Nature Gil did?

It's like trying to feed yourself by using chopsticks to pick up food from the ground while standing upside down and feeding it through your nose.

After blocking the attack, Lian revealed a wicked smile, "My turn, Dark Death Thunder!"

Kusanagi Kakuzu performed a backflip, quickly pulled out a full bottle, placed it in the groove, and pressed down the handle.

"Cannot be crushed! Discharge Crash!"

The full bottle, as deep as the starry sky, is filled with this special driver and cannot be squeezed, but that doesn't mean it can't work—

The blue starlight directly blocked the dark lightning, but it shattered as the lightning disappeared.

"It's a little better than yesterday, junior."

Lian slowly pointed the demonic sword that pierced through reality at the boy, "However, it's just about reaction speed. That thing should have been given to you by your master."

"Indeed, but it's quite unexpected... Let's give this a try then."

Kusanagi took out a white full bottle, the pure white of which made it look as if it were an empty bottle—

"Cannot be crushed! Discharge Crash!"

In an instant, Lian felt a cold aura emanating from the opposite side—

"Drink!"

Kusanagi suddenly threw a punch, and countless blasts of cold air instantly swept towards Ren.

Lian immediately unleashed Dark Death Thunder, successfully blocking the opponent's attack.

"...As expected, it's only this good... It's barely usable, but for Master, it's just like a toy at best." Lian pursed her lips and commented.

"Ah, that's exactly what the king said."

After removing the driver and his armor vanishing in a flash of light, Kusanagi frowned. "This thing is really troublesome. It's terrifying how the driver drains my stamina..."

The fact that the finishing move consumes a lot of stamina each time it is used is also a major headache for Kusanagi.

"Just hang in there, and you'll see some results in three months."

Lian assessed what Jill was planning to do and then said this.

"Really?" Kusanagi asked, somewhat puzzled.

“This is the shortest time; it would take about half a year if it were longer.” Lian counted the time on her fingers. “You may not know, but Master used a similar method to train my physical strength, only… it was a bit more severe than yours.”

……

"Run! The Gate of Babylon is right behind you! Don't think Restia can protect you! She's not enough! Run!"
