I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Just then, a phone rang.

Hijikata Makoto paused for a moment, then answered the phone.

"Hello? Oh...it's you...what's up? Is there something you want to discuss with me? Um..."

After listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Hijikata Makoto frowned and nodded. "I understand, but that kind of thing isn't in my possession. If Kushina can't give you a reply, there's nothing I can do..."

At this moment, Gil gestured to Hijikata Makoto with his eyes, and Hijikata Makoto nodded, "But although the [Holy Sword] isn't with me, but... uh? A face-to-face meeting? Then why don't you go find the boss?"

"Hmm... okay, I understand then." Hijikata Makoto hung up the phone. "Gil, it's that young lady on the phone, saying she wants to see the Red King."

“Okay, I understand.” Gil nodded. “That’s all for today. Rentaro, Enju, Kisara, I’ve already spoken to the Quest Center. They can let you take on missions. Go now, or you’ll go hungry again.”

"Great! Satomi-kun, let's go!"

"Hey!"

"Kisara, you milk cow! Don't you dare drag my partner away without permission!"

Watching the three of them leave noisily, Jill couldn't help but smile wryly.

"This is really quite fun."

“They have a very good relationship…” Xia Shi murmured softly.

Jill saw a barely perceptible hint of envy in Xia Shi's eyes.

Jill paused for a moment, then raised her hand and gently patted Xia Shi's little head.

"Don't worry, this is Homra, and I'm your partner..." Gilles laughed, "So there's no need to be envious... Alright, let's go, let's go meet that young lady from Sima Heavy Industries... That's why we sent Kisara away..."

If Tendo Kisara and Sima Miori, the young lady of Sima Heavy Industries, were to collide, it would be a disaster.

Jill deliberately made sure that these people didn't call out her name directly when they told her... After all... Jill still remembered how the two so-called young ladies had torn each other apart in her drawing room.

One shouted, "Today I'll make you bleed under my Tendo style!" while pulling the other's hair; the other shouted, "Let me show you the Sima style!" while also pulling the other's hair...

Jill wondered why she had been so good-natured and hadn't just thrown them out.

Sima Heavy Industries is a weapons supplier that has a cooperative relationship with Homra. In fact, the two pistols that Jill uses, and even more than 60% of the weapons in Homra, are supplied by Sima Heavy Industries.

Of course, Jill's Imitation Spirit Blade, Ice Bloom Heavenly Blade, was also borrowed by Sima Heavy Industries for research due to its special materials...

Of course, there was no result, after all, the Imitation Spirit Blade - Ice Lotus Heaven was forged from Soul Steel.

That's a metal that doesn't exist in this world, or rather, it's an extremely precious metal even in that world. It's a special metal that doesn't exist in Jill's Gate of Babylon. Although it's sold in the template shop, a D-level access level isn't enough to unlock it...

If I can't think of a title for Chapter 97 and beyond, I'll just use interludes.

The template tells Jill that you cannot open the store without C-level or higher permissions.

However, Gilles recalled the Fairy Heart he had exchanged for Illya during the Holy Grail War, and thus raised strong questions about the template.

The template's nonchalant response shut Jill down.

"The Fairy Heart I gave you was exchanged based on your abilities. If you want Soul Steel, you can also exchange it for fifteen tons of Soul Steel by bringing the incomplete version of the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star."

Jill: "Don't even think about it!"

Well, so Soul Steel is actually pretty useless, since Gastrea in this world can only be dealt with using bizarre weapons.

Of course, if you're quick enough, even ordinary metal swords can solve the problem.

Gastrea regeneration is theoretically classified into five levels.

Individuals that can be killed by ordinary chromatic weapons are defined as Regeneration Level 1. Most Gastrea and Initiators belong to this level, while those that do not belong to this level are defined as Level 2 or higher.

Level 2 means the ability to resist ordinary firearms, requiring decapitation or burning with fuel to defeat.

At level three, even a severed arm can regenerate or return to its original body, with the cells seemingly responding to each other.

Level four can regenerate even after losing most of its internal organs; to kill it, you need to completely destroy it, leaving no trace.

It has a regeneration level of five; even if it's thrown into extremely low temperatures, a vacuum, or magma at thousands of degrees Celsius, it can regenerate after adapting to the environment. Moreover, it regenerates at the molecular level. With the scientific level of 2031, there is no physical means to kill it; it seems that nothing except ultra-precipitated materials can kill it.

Most of the Gastrea that Jill killed were Level 1 Regeneration Gastrea, and the Gate of Babylon could instantly blast them to pieces.

Or, skills like Soul Flash Seven Wheels, which can instantly annihilate Gastrea, make it pointless for Jill not to use firearms.

But this isn't the case for most people other than Jill, which is why Jill is collaborating with Sima Heavy Industries.

On one hand, they provide weapons at preferential prices, and on the other hand, they use them for propaganda purposes. This is the cooperation between Jill and Sima Heavy Industries.

Of course, this young lady in front of me is definitely here for the [Holy Sword]...

Anyway, I didn't lie. Well... Excalibur is a holy sword.

As for the true nature of that power, it is indeed capable of saving all of humanity.

But why did he do that?

Those children were innocent, yet they suffered such treatment...

Many cursed children are thrown into a river to drown or abandoned by their mothers on the first day of their birth.

Jill even remembers a child who, when he first met her, had bandages around his eyes and was with a younger sister.

She unwrapped the bandages, revealing a blackened area around her eye socket.

The child said that her mother hated her eyes and filled them with lead.

It was at that time that Jill began to feel disgusted with the world.

Even so, the child was still smiling...

That smile was so pure.

Even if life is tough, live it with a smile.

Even when you are discriminated against, you should still smile.

Then someone tossed a ring into the bowl of the praying child, who just wanted a few coins to buy food to fill his stomach, or even food that wouldn't fill it.

Jill was furious. She ripped the man's arm off and forced him to apologize in front of the child.

Jill then personally took the child back to Homra and used the potion from the Gate of Babylon to heal the little girl's eyes.

He was very tired at that time.

Although Gilgamesh's spirit and will were gradually absorbed by Gil, there was no such ugly humanity even in the era of Gilgamesh's rule.

A biological mother treating her own daughter like this... There's a saying that even a tiger wouldn't eat its cubs... but these people are worse than animals!

Although Jill had seen the darkness many times, it didn't mean he could get used to it.

Although Jill was lost in thought, she quickly came to her senses.

Xia Shi, who was beside Jill, did not disturb him, but gently touched his hand when they were almost in the reception room.

Jill smiled gently at Xia Shi and patted her head. "Come in with me later."

"Brother... has he been hiding his identity all this time?" Although Xia Shi was young, she was actually very smart and could tell that Gil was the Red King that the people of Homra had been talking about.

"No, not really. Within Homra, almost everyone knows I'm the real leader. It's just that outsiders, because I've kept it a secret, and with Hijikata and the others standing in the limelight, only about five or six people truly know my identity. Of course, last time some annoying guy let it slip, and if it weren't for his efficient work, he'd probably be hanging at the entrance of the commission hall by now." Gil casually remarked something that made outsiders' eyes widen in astonishment.

Honestly, if Gilgamesh had a worse temper, someone like Hijikata Makoto, who always messes up at crucial moments, would probably be dead by now.

Although he often falters at crucial moments, when he gets serious, Hijikata Makoto's actions are very swift.

It wasn't without reason that Gil entrusted the intelligence department to Makoto Tsuchikata.

Gil entered the reception room, where a beautiful girl in a furisode kimono was also looking in his direction.

"Hey! Gil-chan, let me hug you!" The girl looked at Gil, reached out her arms, and made a hugging gesture.

Although the other party was indeed a very beautiful girl, Gil wasn't very interested in her... In his eyes, she was just someone to negotiate with.

“Miss Sima, can we have a proper talk? I don’t want to use the same tactics I used on Tu Fang (hanging it somewhere for people to see) on you.” As the conversation began, Jill unconsciously exuded the aura of a superior, and her tone became serious.

“Hey, I know… I’m here mainly for a deeper collaboration with Homra,” said Sima Miori, sitting down on the sofa in the reception room.

Jill walked to the sofa opposite and sat down, while Xia Shi stood next to Jill. "Miss Sima Weizhi, we are both smart people, so there's no need to beat around the bush. We both know that some things are impossible."

“Yes, of course, so that’s one of my purposes in coming here this time… Gil-chan, how many times can you use the Holy Sword you’re using?” Sima Weizhi closed her paper fan, looked at Gil, and asked this question.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Holy Sword, which can only be used by one person.

"How many times? If I want, I can at least guarantee the elimination of all Stage V," Jill replied.

He concealed a fact here: if he wanted to, he could wipe out all Gastrea in the world.

Or you could just use Enki's finishing blow to destroy the entire world.

Although he has already used three Noble Phantasms, if Gilles really didn't want the full side quest completion rating, he could have just taken out all the Noble Phantasms he had unlocked and unleashed them all.

However, the world fragments have not yet been found... We must be patient about this.

"Is that so? Then, would Gil-chan be willing to provide some information about the [Holy Sword]? You know, both Kushina and Hijikata are very tight-lipped." Shiba Miori said with a smile, covering her face with a paper fan.

"...Well, it's not impossible. Then I'll be blunt—this holy sword can only be used by me in this world."

Jill wasn't wrong about that.

In this world, a world without any mystical entities, only Jill can wield this weapon, the holy sword known as Excalibur.

You think you can wield the holy sword without magic? Dream on!

Even if Jill gave them the holy sword, they probably wouldn't be able to figure it out.

Sima Miori narrowed her eyes. "Gil-chan, this joke isn't funny."

"What's wrong? Do you think I would lie to people so easily?" Gil asked with a mischievous grin.

“No… because you generally don’t lie, you just like to say half of what you mean.” Sima Weizhi shook her head.

“…” Jill was speechless for a moment.

He certainly doesn't like lying, but he really enjoys telling half-truths.

While Gil wouldn't mind teaching a lesson to anyone who dared to covet the king's treasure, he also hated trouble. Though he was by no means afraid of anyone causing trouble.

"Well, it's alright." Sima Miori snapped her paper fan shut. "Gil-chan, this time, Sima Heavy Industries is planning a major collaboration with your Homra."

"A big collaboration? For the eldest daughter of the Sima family to personally come to my outlying area, it must be no small order, right?" Jill asked with a squinting smile.
