I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

She was a girl with long blue hair, wearing a black and white dress, black stockings, and boots.

"So-called experience is all conclusions drawn from actual combat, and that's absolutely true." The girl looked at Lian with a hint of approval in her eyes. "As expected of a student taught by that master."

Lian's eyes flickered, but she didn't continue the conversation.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm an S-rank Valkyrie transferred from the Destiny Headquarters to the Far East Branch. My name is Shigure Kira." Shigure Kira introduced herself, her gaze sweeping over the faces of everyone in the training room.

Lian noticed that the other person's gaze seemed to linger on Kiana's face for a while, and that she muttered something before continuing, "I've been assigned to relieve some of the workload that your original teacher, Gil, was supposed to be doing. From now on, I will be your instructor two days a week, Wednesday to Friday, replacing your original teacher."

S-Rank Valkyrie —

This title represents the pinnacle of combat power within the Destiny.

Throughout the entire Schicksal universe, the number of S-rank Valkyries currently in office can be counted on two hands.

Valkyries at this level generally have the ability to annihilate Emperor-class Honkai Beasts on their own—though it depends on the situation.

Jill, standing outside the door, didn't get involved in the matter. Instead, she replied to the messages she received on her phone with annoyance.

Tsk, Otto, if Shigure Kira really is just here to be an instructor and relieve his pressure, he'll be very happy.

“Jill…that person…”

Walter Young struck up a conversation with Gil.

"We'll meet force with force," Gil said calmly.

“We’ll deal with whatever comes our way… Do you want to see what she’s planning to do before making a decision?” Walter Young adjusted his glasses and asked.

“That’s the best course of action, isn’t it? I can’t just lump people together without knowing the facts,” Jill replied with a shrug. “Besides, we’ve at least exchanged a few words—though I don’t think that’s enough for me to let my guard down.”

Jill stopped leaning against the wall and straightened up. "Otto's still here, and you've actually become quite bolder."

"Because you're here too?"

Walter Young smiled. "Otto would definitely prioritize you over dealing with me. Besides, you are the kind of pearl that has fallen on the beach."

Jill herself has an extremely unique aura; she can be easily spotted in a crowd.

"Well, I wouldn't be happy with such praise."

Jill yawned. "Alright, let's go back. At least we can get some rest."

"Come on, come on, I'll treat you to coffee," Walter Young said with a helpless smile.

“I have a very discerning palate. If the coffee doesn’t taste good, I’ll just spit it out,” Jill said.

"Don't worry, that coffee shop is still pretty good."

……

The time is 17:00 PM.

"..."

Standing on the rooftop of St. Freya Academy, Otto quietly watched the figure slowly disappear into the distance.

"Shigure, you can get ready," he said, turning on his communicator.

"clear."

The voice on the other end of the communicator sounded, then fell silent again, leaving only the hissing of the signal.

“King of Heroes… what will you do when you know all this?” Otto laughed, then gripped the communicator tightly and crushed it.

"What would our king do? Of course, he would only want to kill you."

The boy's voice came from behind, and there stood a boy with black hair and black eyes, holding a blue driver in his hand.

"Ah, have we been discovered?" Otto slowly turned around, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"It's more accurate to say that our King has been watching you all along—and don't think that Ren-senpai is just a pretty face." Kusanagi sneered, then fastened the driver to his waist and turned the bottle to fit into the driver.

"Whether for our King or for Senior Lian—"

Kusanagi opened his eyes wide, which had turned ice blue. "I'm going to teach you a lesson right here!"

Immediately afterwards, he pressed down hard on the yellow handle!

"Danger! Crocodile! Tear! Devour! Crush to pieces! Crocodile In Rogue! Oraa!"

P.S.: Why do I feel like my subscriptions are decreasing even though I've returned to full attendance...? Am I about to die out...?

Chapter 144 Let's try again with the awareness of risking our entire destiny!

Purple armor completely covered Kusanagi's body, and Kusanagi drew Mikazuki Munechika.

“…Heh.” Otto laughed. “Then bring it on.”

"Well then, that's just as you wished!" Beneath the mask, Kusanagi's eyes had completely transformed into an ice-blue color.

That deathly, icy blue—if you looked directly at it, you would surely feel something.

I felt death, I felt the fear of facing death.

Light particles slowly appeared in Otto's hand.

Then, the light particles disappeared, transforming into a pistol.

No, that was only in his left hand. Kusanagi could also notice that Otto had one in his right hand as well.

A pair of pistols—

"Mimicry - Heavenly Fire Judgment".

Kusanagi raised his sword, assuming the starting stance for Soul Flash. "The Key of Destruction of Mimicry, that is your Divine Key, the Key of Revelation: The Power of Void Treasury, right?"

The First Key of God, the Key of Revelation, the Void Treasury—

This weapon, created by Dr. Mei of the previous generation using the core of the First Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason, is a regular hexahedron in its normal state and can transform into a fluid. It can replicate weapons and items whose construction principles the user understands, as can Divine Keys, but the replicated Divine Keys are far inferior to the originals. Inside is a nearly infinitely expanding knowledge space, containing knowledge from previous generations of civilizations collected by the Herrscher of Reason. This knowledge, due to the unique nature of the Herrscher of Reason's abilities, was preserved along with the Herrscher core.

This relic was obtained in Asia by the founder of the Apocalypse family, Shakyamuni Buddha, who called it a relic possessing infinite wisdom. Because "only those with the highest wisdom can break its seal," it was enshrined as a sacred object in the Apocalypse family shrine until it was unsealed by Otto two thousand years later.

“Indeed, this is my ability—how come your king even knows this?” Otto frowned.

This key to the gods has almost no weaknesses.

Because of the Void Archives, it can be described as an alternative form of "Unlimited Blade Works".

Unlike Unlimited Blade Works, whose Reality Marble can only project Noble Phantasms, Void Archives can create and replicate things, including all weapons and items. As long as Otto can understand their structure, he can replicate them.

Although Shirou Emiya's projection magic can basically achieve the same result, Shirou Emiya focused his attention and skills on the "sword" throughout his life, which led to the creation of Noble Phantasms (Realistic Marbles) such as "Unlimited Blade Works".

Void Archives is different from Unlimited Blade Works.

Because the Void Treasury is ultimately just a "knowledge base," it is still far from being a fixed barrier that can change the world.

Kusanagi raised the corners of his mouth. "Of course, there's nothing that our king doesn't know—just watch."

zizi...

As if an electric current had shot through his eyes, everything in Kusanagi's eyes began to change.

Everything he looked at was marked with dark lines.

These lines stretch across things, almost imperceptible.

However, Kusanagi knew and understood what those lines were—

That is "death".

The moment when things come to an end.

"Your death."

……

Lian strolled slowly on the beach.

A gentle sea breeze blew by, slowly lifting Lian's long hair.

"So comfortable... I guess I've never been to the beach before..." Lian slowly tied up her black hair into a very simple ponytail.

"You've been following me for so long, is there anything I can help you with, Instructor Shigure?" Ren turned her head and looked at Shigure Kira, who was carrying a black briefcase.

Shigure Kira remained silent for a long time. "Your teacher is the King of Heroes, isn't he?"

“Yes, that’s my master. Does Instructor Shiyu know my master?” Lian asked.

Shigure Kira nodded, "I know her... why wouldn't I know her..."

Her blue eyes gazed at the sea, as if trying to see the other side. "After all, he did help me, and I don't want to repay kindness with enmity."

“Otto intends to use you as the vessel for the Tranquility Gem,” Shigure Kira said.

"Is it one of the four gems that were left after the Herrscher of the Void died... Haha, it doesn't matter. If we do that, Otto's appearance will probably be like the old Chinese saying—'Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.'"

Lian smiled slightly.

Because the existence of the lotus is itself an extremely special existence—

She is the "Dark Elf Queen".

It is the "Demon King".

A being burdened with the darkness of an entire world, and a mere Herrscher wants to possess its body?

It's important to know that in the formation of the Elemental Spirit Realm, the first to appear were the Holy Spirit King Alexander and the Dark Spirit King Lian Ashdor.

The Elemental Spirit Realm can be considered an independent and parallel world within a larger world. The basic structure of this world is "light" and "darkness," which led to the creation of the four great spirit kings: water, fire, earth, and wind.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to compare the Dark Elf King to one of the two cornerstones of a world.

Sirin wants to take over Lian's body?

That's truly a laughable thing to do.

Not to mention that Lian's refusal would make it absolutely impossible for Sirin to succeed, even if Sirin managed to seize Lian's body, without being able to suppress the seventy-two elves, she would undoubtedly face certain death.

Again--

Even the Herrscher of Death, who is connected to the soul, could not seize Ren's body. For a mere Herrscher to try and seize the body of the Dark Elf King, there is only one outcome—

That means even the soul will be reduced to ashes!

"Besides, isn't it enough that the maid has been watching her all this time?"
