I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

The sword of creation roared, a symbol of the awakening of the power to create heaven and earth!

"The void offers its blessing to the creation, and the one who cuts through this world is my sword of discord!"

The wind howled, a crimson storm surged, and countless black lights around Jill were annihilated as soon as they came within a short distance.

The space created by the release of the Ea sword around Gilles already possessed terrifying defensive power—

"A vortex of stars, a hell in the heavens, is the end before creation!"

A crimson and black storm surged into the sky, telling not only of the final darkness before creation, but also of the end of the enemies who faced this sword!

"Be silent in death!"

Jill roared, and at the same time, all the power of the Creation Star Dragon and the Destruction Star Dragon was poured into the Ea sword in his hand!

"Enuma Elish!"

Final Volume, Chapter Five: The Battle of Time, The Design of Schemes

"Enuma Elish!"

Ea's full-force strike was Gil's primordial sword, imbued with utter rage; its overwhelming power instantly swept away everything Gil could see.

Wherever the crimson-black storm passed, no matter what level of destructive factor it was, it could not escape being directly annihilated.

Seeing this, Izayoi immediately fled the area at high speed, thinking, "At least say something before unleashing your ultimate attack..."

Even Azdahah back then, without the Another Cosmology, would probably have died if he had taken that attack head-on.

However, it's only a single death, since non-humans cannot kill humans in the final trial.

"Humph……"

After Jill unleashed this attack, a large portion of the surrounding destructive factors disappeared. However, the earth was left scarred, marked by the damage inflicted by the Ecstasy Sword. Had it not been for the fact that many destructive factors had absorbed the damage, this attack would have likely cleaved the world in two.

On the ground, countless dark lights flickered, which were the cracks in space torn apart by the Ea sword EA.

Boom...!

At that moment, the world changed.

Jill suddenly fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Boom!" A deafening roar resounded, and black and white light rippled alternately around Jill's body.

"!?!" This unexpected change put everyone else present on high alert.

"You're here." Jill closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes, which were covered by the visor, had turned black and white.

That means you can see the state of any destructive factor, and no matter what state the destructive factor is in, you can see exactly where it is hiding.

Even when time stands still, Jill can still detect the other party's actions.

"I can see it...!"

thump...

Time stopped.

However, Jill could see a figure approaching her.

It was a tall, slender figure with arms like a mantis's scythe.

“Grandmaster Kelchat.” Ann’s voice echoed in Jill’s mind.

“…I know,” Jill replied.

"Because I'm no longer affiliated with the Destruction Factor, my abilities only last about seven seconds per action, with a five-second interval between each action," Ann said.

"So, every seven seconds I'll get hit for five seconds, right?" Jill asked, staring at the figure slowly closing in.

“Yes, but the armor of the Creation Star Extreme Dragon and the Destruction Extreme Dragon can provide you with protection. After all, the armor you are wearing carries the power of the Destruction Factor. The mutual attack of the same power will weaken itself, not to mention that you also have the power of the Creation Factor.” An’s spiritual voice carried a ferocious laugh. “We should throw this guy into the power nullification zone and give him a good beating.”

“Of course!” Jill grinned. “If he gets any closer, I’ll leave it to you.”

An joked, "Ha, then we should say—this is a Stand attack!"

"Hmph, still in the mood for jokes... I'm about to go!"

Jill smiled, just as the figure approached to within two meters of her!

Gil's body regained its mobility, and he rushed out with lightning speed, then suddenly threw a jab, the sharp magic power bursting out with terrifying force, directly hitting Granster!

"clang!"

However, by a hair's breadth, Jill's fist was blocked by the sharp scythe.

“Ann, indeed, is not a guy to be underestimated,” Granster said.

“Likewise, [Kelchart].” Ann’s voice rang out from Jill’s armor. “Jill, don’t stop, unleash a burst of damage to finish him off!”

“I know without you saying it!” Without saying a word, Gil directly activated the power of the Undying Flame, a power belonging to Draig, a flame that would burn anyone who came into contact with it.

However, this did not work for Jill.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that because the power of the Creation Factor was fused with the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets, the flames of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets no longer had that terrifying and taboo side effect on Gil.

Therefore, Jill confidently unleashed a barrage of punches, raining down blow after blow on Granster.

Granster seemed to sense the danger and was therefore constantly dodging Jill's attacks.

In fact, his choice was absolutely correct.

“That flame is really dangerous,” Granster said.

Because it combines with the creation factor, this flame is like Amaterasu from Naruto; once it touches something, it will burn incessantly. However, unlike the creation factor, this flame is several times more powerful when facing the destruction factor.

Such flames are like using destructive factors as fuel, directly consuming them, burning more and more fiercely until the fuel is gone.

"Well, you try it yourself and see if it's dangerous, you bastard!"

With a roar, Jill swung a vicious hook punch out—

At that moment, exactly seven seconds had elapsed.

Jill's movements were stopped.

“…Seven seconds.” Granster dodged the hook that would have been a sure hit. “Unfortunately, I can do more than just stop time; I have another ability—”

His figure appeared behind Jill in an instant, and in that instant, Jill had no idea what was happening!

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Jill's figure was once again blasted away!

"Whoa!"

He couldn't help but cough up blood. Even with the power of the creation factor and the destruction factor protecting him, the pain still made Jill cough up blood.

"...This is terrible. Time stopped, and with that kind of attack power, they're even harder to deal with than DIO was back then..."

Kevin, who was observing from the shadows, narrowed his eyes. "But what just happened? Why did Jill fly out in those last few seconds?"

Kevin, who also possesses time-related abilities, was naturally able to see the actions during that period.

only……

"Damn it, maintaining this stand is so tiring..."

Maintaining a Stand that can stop time continuously is very energy-consuming, especially since Kevin's Stand isn't even a proper Stand; it's merely a product of plunder.

Kevin squinted. "Speaking of which, I remember there was a similar ability in that world, and it seemed like there were almost no ways to deal with it..."

Final Volume, Chapter 6: Erasing Time and Foreseeing the Future, Time Stops

"That's really going too far, that ability."

Jill shook her head and then got up.

Granster's power was insufficient to break through the armor protecting Jill, and Jill could sense that the opponent's time-stopping ability could not be sustained indefinitely.

"The duration is thirty seconds, and the opponent also seems to have the ability to predict the future and the ability to cut time."

An said, "It should also have the ability to rewind, otherwise there would still be a gap where you hit the opponent directly the first time."

"So, this guy's abilities are really troublesome, both for you and for me."

Magic surged through Jill as she began to heal her wounds. "But we have to find a way to drag them in there."

"Yeah, I know, so I'll handle this guy."

A surge of magical power coursed through Jill's body. "Let's fight and retreat as we go."

“Okay, leave the defense to me,” Ann replied, but as if remembering something, she added, “Jill, there’s something you need to pay attention to; it’s very important.”

“Speak, I’m listening,” Jill said, keeping an eye on her surroundings to guard against a sneak attack.

"Kelchat's form hasn't been used yet."

"That form refers to..."

"【Return to the Origin】, that's what they call that form."

"So, it's a killing move?"

“Yes, perhaps Kelchat can't break through your defenses right now, but once he enters the [Return to the Origin] state, his fatal blow will definitely pierce through your armor. However, he only has one chance—”

"Sell an opening to counterattack?" Jill asked.

While manipulating the power of the Destruction Factor to block one of Granster's attacks, Ann said, "No, Granster is not only good at scheming, but also very cautious. He will definitely find an opportunity to kill with one blow. Deliberately creating an opening is absolutely useless."

"Ha, what a troublesome enemy." Jill took a step and started running forward.

“Droin was a very troublesome enemy back then. He was far more cunning than Kelchat, and his abilities were also very troublesome. It’s just that we only have thirty percent of that power left now, so we can’t completely counter him.” As Ann said this, a black light wall rose up again, blocking a black blade. Jill threw a punch, but Granster was alert and jumped away immediately.

Jill squinted, then quickly dashed off in a certain direction.

He was certain that Granster was watching him and chasing after him.

Now, we must eliminate them.

Moreover, the opponent's ability to reduce time makes the course of the battle even more unpredictable.

"Can you be sure how much time can be cut off?" Jill asked Ann.
