People in Type-Moon have a hero simulator.

Both you and Gilgamesh are ready for battle, but you do not want war; you do not wish to hear the cries of the people.

[You understand that gods are not so easily tamed; even you and Gilgamesh are not enough to completely annihilate them.]

You need a perfect plan.

……

Inside Annu's temple, the elderly Annu gasped for breath. After witnessing Fujimaru Kyoya's "use it to death" approach to life, he felt the malice of the world for the first time.

"How dare you treat the gods like this! Damn Gilgamesh, damned Shadow, you will surely suffer retribution."

Annu pondered how to deal with the two men.

On that day, with the two of them working together and under the threat of the two bright moons and EA, he already felt a great sense of crisis. Surrender was only a temporary measure, because he understood that this era could not allow two kings.

Gilgamesh and Fujimaru Kyoya are destined to fight.

"I must get them to start the war as soon as possible, and those who influence the balance of this war..."

Anu is planning to create another fighter who is no less powerful than Gilgamesh, but this time he will absolutely not make any mistakes.

He absolutely must be able to control the life and death of this creation, and cannot grant it any divinity.

"That's right. That thing doesn't need divinity. It just needs to be a weapon, a weapon to deal with Gilgamesh and the Shadow."

Anu wanted to create the most powerful weapon from the lowest quality clay. It needed to have special attacks against the gods and the ability to change shape and exert its strongest power no matter where it was.

"Ishtar, what was your sister's response to us?"

Ereshkigal was not particularly prominent among the gods of Mesopotamia, but now, thanks to the presence of Fujimaru Kyoya, this goddess has once again come into the spotlight.

She said the child had grown up and become rebellious, and she couldn't control him.

After a long day of hard work, Ishtar still had to go to the underworld. At this moment, she lay on the ground like a dead dog.

"Rebellious? I think she's the one who's rebellious."

According to Anu's original plan, keeping Fujimaru Kyoya in the Underworld would have made him a backup for the Heavenly Wedge that could be activated at any time. However, he has now become a traitor who has joined forces with Gilgamesh.

"Fine, now I'm asking you to do everything you can to help Shadow. With your support, he will fight Gilgamesh with all his might. As for Gilgamesh, I will also arrange help for him."

Annu had already planned the situation. When the two were at their strongest, Ishtar and another of Annu's creations betrayed them, delivering a fatal blow to both of them.

Then the age of God will return.

"Hehe~ I will repay you a thousand times over for all the humiliation you have suffered."

In the dark temple, the chief god Anu was playing with a lump of mud, infusing it with power and giving it life.

Make it a powerful being that can rival Gilgamesh, and let it assist Gilgamesh in fighting against Fujimaru Kyoya.

"Your power comes from the people, so let all your people perish."

When war broke out, the gods seized the opportunity to strike. The humans they wanted to kill dared not resist again and regretted their arrogant behavior.

The lump of clay gradually took on a human shape, but it had no specific features. Then, Annu had it make love with a divine prostitute for three days and three nights, and it gradually became human and took on a human appearance.

“Enkidu, this is the name I gave you.”

"Enkidu?"

The green-haired boy had a very androgynous appearance. He seemed unaware of what had happened, as innocent and naive as a newborn.

“Go to Uruk, challenge the strongest man there, become his friend, and then do everything you can to help him.”

Annu left Enkidu with just these words, because that was enough.

In Uruk, only Gilgamesh is capable of fighting Enkidu, and with Enkidu's help, Gilgamesh's power will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

When both sides improve their combat capabilities, war will inevitably break out.

Will Gilgamesh be able to sense that something is wrong?

Yes, even without his clairvoyance, Gilgamesh would have been able to sense the danger.

But he also knew that the battle with Fujimaru Kyoya could not be delayed any longer, because the longer it dragged on, the stronger Fujimaru Kyoya would become.

He would jump into a trap even if it was one.

……

"Uruk? Fight? Help?"

Under the starry sky, a gender-neutral green-haired boy walks across the wilderness, gazing at the bustling city.

After Gilgamesh began to restrain himself, Uruk seemed to have returned to its original prosperous state.

His opponent is in the city.

Chapter Thirty-One: The Awareness of Both Sides

You've heard that Gilgamesh encountered a very strong opponent, and through a fight, they became friends.

[You understand that Gilgamesh's power has increased extremely rapidly, and Ishtar has been unusually obedient lately, not complaining even when using the Bull of Heaven; she seems even more loyal to you now.]

With the help of the Heavenly Bull and your national strength constantly rising, the longer this drags on, the more advantageous it will be for you, so...

"Take the initiative?"

Ishtar had originally intended to persuade Fujimaru Kyoya to take the initiative, since if the battle became one-sided, they wouldn't be allowed to reap the benefits.

"The people's trust in me is almost at its limit. Continuing to delay will only be disadvantageous. It would be better to take the initiative now and catch Gilgamesh off guard. This time, I need to use the Bull of Heaven."

Fujimaru Kyoya showed no intention of negotiating at this point, and his tone was more of a direct command.

"I understand, I will fight alongside you."

Although she was very unwilling, Ishtar still had to grovel before Fujimaru Kyouya, waiting for their victory so she could take revenge on everything.

"You may leave now. When we need your help, someone will naturally notify us."

He casually dismissed Ishtar, and naturally, Fujimaru Kyo didn't feel anything about ordering a goddess around like that.

Gods have a much longer lifespan than humans. Even if Gilgamesh and he joined forces to suppress the gods, what would happen after they died?

Of course, Fujimaru Kyoya and Gilgamesh could try to explore immortality, but at that time they would become gods who rule over mankind.

Fujimaru Kyoya dislikes the story of the dragon slayer ultimately becoming the dragon.

"Gilgamesh, do you understand what to do next?"

Fujimaru Kyo didn't have clairvoyance, but standing on high ground, he seemed to make eye contact with Gilgamesh in the distance. The future of humanity rested on the shoulders of these two.

……

"Jill, what are you looking at?"

Enkidu stared at Gilgamesh, who was lost in thought atop the mountain, seemingly pondering something—an expression rarely seen on the King of Heroes.

"I'm pondering what exactly 'death' is."

"die?"

Enkidu did not understand what "death" meant. He was a creation of God, and if God did not intend to discard him, he could live on forever.

"I possess the power and wisdom of a god. If I were to also have the lifespan of a god, then what would I be?"

"It's probably a god."

"really?"

"Is that even a question?"

After receiving Enkidu's approval, Gilgamesh abandoned the path to becoming a god. Although death was terrifying, his pride still refused to bow to it.

"Enkidu, you should leave."

Gilgamesh actually wanted to expel a powerful figure like Enkidu before the great battle.

"why?"

"Because you didn't come here based on your own inner thoughts, did you?"

Although Gilgamesh had calmed down considerably, his clairvoyance had not yet returned, but this did not prevent him from guessing Enkidu's identity and purpose for coming here.

"My inner self?"

“My friend, I know why you came here, and I know the intentions of the people behind you, but I still regard you as a friend because you have a pure heart. You are different from others.”

Gilgamesh doesn't just consider anyone a friend; it's not just about having power, but also about having a noble soul.

He had seen such a soul in Enkidu and... Fujimaru Kyoya.

"You may accompany me on this campaign, but I hope it is a decision you make from your own heart, and not on anyone's orders."

Gilgamesh patted Enkidu on the shoulder, then walked down the hill and returned to the city to gather his troops.

Everyone is waiting for this battle, where Gilgamesh and Fujimaru Kyoya will determine who is the true master of this land, and the gods are also waiting for the opportunity for both of them to be severely injured.

“Annu will not let this opportunity slip by. This time is different from the last. He will definitely bring enough fighting force. My choice is of utmost importance.”

Gilgamesh has given up on becoming a god, and he alone cannot separate humanity from the gods; he still needs the help of Fujimaru Kyoya.

"You bastard, are you thinking about something with me?"

……

The war broke out; it came suddenly, but everyone was prepared for it.

There can't be two suns in the sky. The Mesopotamian region was never large to begin with, and now it was finally going to be divided up by two kings, thus beginning their struggle.

On one side is the suddenly rising Holy King of the Bright Moon, who lives a simple life, cares for the people, and has no exorbitant taxes. If there is any difficulty, he will always be the first to step forward.

On one side is Gilgamesh, who has come to his senses after going astray. He is arrogant, cruel, and extravagant, but he also has his own unique charm, which makes people unconsciously gather around him.

If the two had lived in different eras, it would have been a blessing for the people of that era. But their mistake was living in the same era, both being kings, and having to fight to the death.

[Your sleep quality is very poor. The moment you close your eyes, you can feel the people's yearning for war. He wants to prove to everyone that their king is unparalleled. "Benevolent Dark Emperor" effect enhanced.]

[Your inspection of the soldiers' training, insisting on continuing even when some are injured, is all for the sake of your selfless gaze; the "Benevolent Dark Emperor" effect is enhanced.]

You stopped an ordinary person and asked them a question.

"Looking forward to war? We don't look forward to war at all."

The person chosen by Fujimaru Kyoya unexpectedly shook his head. He knew very well how terrible war was; he might die if he went to the battlefield, but…
