I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

“Dad…” Hiruko Kohina looked terrified.

"Cough cough... Jill, couldn't you be a little gentler?" The grayish-brown thing got up; it was Satomi Rentaro...

“Sorry, but this isn’t the time to dwell on that.” Gil looked at Hiruko Kagetane. “As expected, you have someone behind you. Just as I guessed, if I’m not mistaken, the person behind you has probably already been arrested.”

“Gil, don’t you understand? I only accepted the commission to do what I wanted to do. It doesn’t matter how many people behind the scenes die!” Hiruko Kagetane laughed loudly.

"Whatever, you can go now," Jill said, pursing her lips.

"Huh? Hey Gil, you..." Rentaro Satomi exclaimed anxiously.

"Oh? Is this really okay?" Hiruko Kagetane looked at Gil. "Is this really a good idea? Aren't you afraid of being harassed by those high-ranking officials?"

“Why should I be afraid? I’ve always disliked this region. If I had to say, I’m only doing this to protect Homra.” Gil tilted his head. “I have no reason to save the D-Kyo region, and the only reason I’m sparing your life is probably because you didn’t harm the children…”

"Hoo hoo... Well then, thank you very much, Gil. But actually, even if we fight, it won't solve the problem, since it's already here!"

Jill's eyes narrowed as she looked in that direction.

Just how many tens of thousands of organisms' genes did that guy absorb?

The dark brown, cracked muscles were covered in scars, resembling those from smallpox, with protrusions growing on the scars. Eight sickle-shaped foreign objects with barbs pierced the skin from the neck, head, and right eye.

The head was abnormally large, with a bird-beak-like curved object extending unnaturally from the corner of the mouth. The remaining left eye was pitifully small.

The image shows a bipedal giant with an astonishing appearance.

The giant was about 400 meters tall. It moved forward while parting the seawater, its scythe-like tentacles constantly waving.

Before, when I watched it on screen, Jill didn't realize it, but now that I see it, if it's just an anti-military Noble Phantasm, it might not be able to kill that monster...

Therefore, unlocking Excalibur beforehand was the right choice.

But for a guy like this... is Excalibur really enough?

However, the all-knowing and all-powerful star quickly dispelled his unease.

"Then goodbye, you two. I look forward to seeing you again." Hiruko Kagetane and Hiruko Kohina jumped directly to the top of the church and left.

Jill made the call, "Starflow, come and take the children away... I'm going to deal with that monster."

P.S.: I wish everyone a Happy New Year! Although this is the first update a bit late, I still wanted to say Happy New Year!

PS2: Thank you to the readers who pointed out the shortcomings. I will try my best to correct them. The protagonist's personality is indeed a bit unclear... It's my fault.

Chapter Ninety-Four: The Blooming Breath of Stars, the Flow of Glorious Life

After making the call, Jill started walking towards the direction of Scorpio.

"Wait... Jill—"

Rentaro looked at Gilles with incomprehension, "Why didn't you stop Hiruko Kagetane..."

"...Rentaro, I've told you before, you're a lot like the Holy Emperor. You're both the kind of people who would sacrifice themselves without hesitation for their so-called greater good. But when it comes to sacrificing the people around you or other people, you'd hesitate."

Gil didn't turn around. "Rentaro, even if you could beat Hiruko Kagetane when the fight started, would you have had time to stop that monster?" Gil said, taking a step forward. "Enju should be catching up by now."

"Gil brother is so annoying!" Then the figure leaped high again and pounced on Gil...Rentaro next to him.

Rentaro caught Enju steadily. "So what do we do now?"

"...I'll have to go there myself."

Then, a golden ripple appeared around Jill, revealing a blue sword hilt.

Gil gripped the longsword. "Rentaro, would you like to come with me to take down that guy?"

"...Ah, of course!"

……

In the command center...

The defense minister on the list has been arrested.

Hijikata Makoto silently watched Scorpio continuously launch missiles on the screen, and frowned slightly.

"Boss... it's up to you whether you can handle that guy..."

……

On the helicopter.

"Hmm... As expected, it's unlikely that a Noble Phantasm can be destroyed without unleashing its full magical power?" Gil frowned.

"Jill, is that enough?!" Rentaro's voice came from inside the cockpit.

"Drop a little lower!" Jill commanded again.

Because no more than three Noble Phantasms can be unlocked with their true names, and he has already used two of those slots, he cannot fly with Hermes' boots, nor can he bombard with Vimana... or rather, there's no guarantee that Vimana's weapons will be powerful enough.

God knows that using the Gate of Babylon and the Chains of Heaven both count!

Therefore, this is the last Noble Phantasm that Gilles can use, provided he completes the mission.

"Is that enough?! Any further and we'll be in a dangerous area!" Rentaro shouted.

"That's enough, leave the rest to me!"

Gilles stood outside the helicopter, enduring the torrential rain, and began to unleash his Noble Phantasm...

"The breath of a blooming star... the glorious flow of life..." Jill raised the longsword in her hand.

Countless golden points of light began to converge, a sight that was noticed by the people in the conference room.

……

"What is that?" Many high-ranking officials were in an uproar, but only Hijikata Makoto looked at the golden light with a serious expression.

"..." Hijikata Makoto remained calm, silently turning around to leave.

"Mr. Hijikata..."

"Does His Majesty have any orders? That Scorpio is already dead..." Hijikata Makoto chuckled, "I'll go back and prepare some things for the boss, otherwise he'll complain again..."

The Holy Emperor was somewhat taken aback.

What kind of trust is required to say those words...

Gil... the Red King, you certainly have considerable prestige.

……

"Oath... Sword of Victory (Excalibur)!" Gilles revealed the true name of his Noble Phantasm.

That golden light was created by transforming the user's magic into light, which was then emitted from the tip of the downward-swinging sword like a beam of light, destroying everything in its path.

With Jill's full magical power channeled into it, the beam of light, a golden torrent, with unparalleled force, completely engulfed the deformed monster...

That beam of light also completely illuminated the entire dimly lit conference room!

Until the light faded...

Everyone stared at the empty sea in silence.

After Jill fully unleashed Excalibur, Scorpio of the zodiac became the third Gastrea to die at stage V.

Thus... the monster that could have triggered the great catastrophe in the D-Kyoto region was completely dead, and this disaster was also completely over...

Jill looked down and remained silent for a long time.

The sword Excalibur in his hand flickered, its meaning unknown.

……

the next day.

Inside the sanctuary, Jill looked at the reporters outside the door and sneered, "What a bunch of boring bastards."

“Gil-kun…you’re speaking like this in front of the ruler of the D-Kyo region right now,” the Holy Emperor reminded him. “And this is a celebration held for you…”

“…So what?” Jill scoffed. “I don’t need to care about that. I don’t have much of a sense of justice. I just want to protect the children in Homra. There’s no such thing as a strict hierarchy in Homra; everyone’s more like friends or family…”

“My sword is only wielded for my family and friends. I am not a very righteous person…” Jill’s red eyes flickered.

"But didn't you also step in to save the D-Kyoto region?" the Holy Emperor asked with a somewhat sorrowful expression.

“It’s just because Homra is in the Tokyo area,” Gil said, his red eyes flashing. “When I came here two years ago, I was almost ‘dealt with’ as a cursed child.”

"Rather than that, I'm similar to Hiruko Kagetane. I have no reason to save this place; on the contrary, I have a whole host of reasons to destroy it hundreds of times over." Gil said with a sneer. "Your Majesty, how much resistance do you think I encountered when I founded Homra?"

"How many people, officials, like those in Homra, don't discriminate against the children?" Jill sneered. "Your Majesty, believe it or not, if this place ever faces danger, in order to survive, those people will turn into the fiercest beasts and bite us, Homra! If survival requires the sacrifice of some, they will surely abandon Homra first, forgetting the fact that the police and children of Homra once protected them, and abandon us!"

"Is there really not a single place in the D-Kyoto region worth protecting?" asked the Holy Emperor.

"...No, at least I haven't seen a place worth protecting. The only things worthy of a king's protection are the things most precious in his heart..." Gil replied.

That is the king's country and his subjects...

Jill didn't say the last sentence aloud; she just silently thought it to herself.

P.S.: This is for our group member, the great Bai Ji. I'll be posting five chapters tomorrow!

Chapter 95 Are You Interested in Being My Partner? (Bonus Chapter for Another Shipment)

Jill didn't stay any longer, only leaving behind the words "Sorry to bother you" before departing.

The Holy Emperor simply pondered Gilles' words silently.

Although Jill looks young, every word he says is always insightful.

His sharp eyes made one wonder if he was a fifteen-year-old boy.

Perhaps when that time comes, that situation will really occur.

The Holy Emperor found himself unable to refute Gilles's words.

How much did that boy truly see through...?

……

The 39th ward of the D-city area.

Homra.
