However, Gilgamesh stopped again, this time frowning as if he had sensed something bad.

"Hmph, what tricks does this stray dog ​​have up its sleeve this time?"

As if talking to himself, Gilgamesh pointed, and a mass of black mud rolled along a vast network of black mud from afar, finally spitting out a human figure in front of Gilgamesh.

Red A, or rather, Emiya Shirou, covered in wounds, collapsed to his knees before Gilgamesh, trembling as if he dared not utter a single word.

"What's going on? Do I have to ask them all one by one?"

"Don't dare..."

So Red A told Gilgamesh about his encounter with Momo. Of course, he couldn't tell him about the deal with Momo, because the trading power had already kept it a secret.

"That weak, worthless administrator from last time? You're saying that administrator has grown to an incredibly powerful level, capable of contending with my abilities?"

"Yes……"

"Pfft, hahahahaha!"

Gilgamesh raised his head and laughed wildly. Before Red A could react, he was already being lifted up by the neck by Gilgamesh.

Are you telling the truth or a lie?

"I'm telling the truth..."

"Of course I know you are telling the truth."

Gilgamesh's lips curled into a contemptuous smile. He said, "You only ever tell me the truth, but you don't always tell me the real facts. I'm curious why you are so loyal to me, willing to abandon all your dignity and principles to unconditionally become my lackey?"

"Originally, I thought you would be the most stubborn of the heroic spirits. I even planned to use you as a corrupted individual to make an example of you."

"Cough cough..."

Red A coughed desperately on the ground. Already severely injured, he had just been threatened mercilessly by Gilgamesh. If Gilgamesh had even a hint of murderous intent, he would be dead by now.

"Isn't it normal to submit to the strong and live a life of ignominy? Nobody wants to die; living is the most important thing."

"There's no credibility to what you're saying, but I'll believe you for now."

Gilgamesh proudly raised his head and said, "Mortals in the mortal world may abandon everything to survive, but which of us who have become heroic spirits does not have a deeper obsession than death? No matter why you are willing to become a dog, as long as you are still a dog, I have no reason to kill you."

"If I can't even control a subject like you, then what is the meaning of my kingship?"

After saying this, Gilgamesh pondered for a long time and then said, "It's good that you've come. I want to see just how much this so-called administrator is favored by the Supreme God. I don't believe that the Supreme God can protect such scum forever!"

"Now the power I wield is growing stronger and stronger. One day this power will break through its limits and make even the so-called supreme god tremble. Just wait, Enkidu, I will definitely find you."

Gilgamesh made his decision and set off for the world where Gensokyo was located, where he vowed to personally kill the ruler beloved by the supreme god. Of course, before the ruler died, he also exerted some influence, allowing Gilgamesh to use him as a bargaining chip to inquire about Enkidu's whereabouts from the supreme god.

My dearest friend, where are you?

Since Gilgamesh acquired the power of the administrator who died at his hands, his abilities and ambitions have expanded wildly. The small Hall of Heroes was utterly unable to restrain him, and he even managed to survive the subsequent clash with the Fate world and escape from it.

After that, Gilgamesh began his swarming journey through the worlds like a locust. Using the power he wielded, along with the power of the black mud he controlled, countless worlds were corrupted, becoming greenhouses nourishing the black mud. All the black mud, in turn, came to Gilgamesh's disposal, becoming an invincible sword in his hands.

Finally, one day, this sword was once again turned against the Fate world where Gilgamesh originally resided.

Faced with the endless black mud, even the restraining force could not resist this power. The very source of the world turned black, and the power of the entire world was exposed to Gilgamesh and taken into his hands.

Everything in the entire Type-Moon world has become Gilgamesh's possession. Although Gilgamesh is not a creator god, but more like a demon king who destroys everything, the current Gilgamesh truly controls the entire Fate world. Even the Counter Force dares not resist and has become Gilgamesh's mouthpiece.

A triumphant Gilgamesh realized that he had finally become a true king, a king above all others, a king who reigned above the gods and even above the world. Only such a king could be called the greatest king, the invincible king!

How could he not share such a great achievement with his closest friends?

However, at this moment Gilgamesh realized that he controlled everything in the Fate world, except that one person was missing from the entire world.

He lost his only close friend, Enkidu.

090 I want something sour.

Gilgamesh suspected that this was a conspiracy by the Counter Force of the Fate World, but after much verification, Gilgamesh could only conclude that Enkidu's disappearance had absolutely no basis whatsoever.

Enkidu, as a Heroic Spirit, should have resided in Valhalla, under the control of the Counter Force. However, when even the Counter Force could not explain Enkidu's disappearance, Gilgamesh felt only utter bewilderment and helplessness.

Where did his dearest friend go?

Gilgamesh frantically searched for his closest friend, his search gradually spreading from the Fate world to other worlds. It wasn't until after a battle with another administrator that he learned of the existence of the Supreme God.

It turns out that there are gods above him. Even though Gilgamesh's kingship has surpassed the world and he controls many other worlds, there are still gods in places he cannot look up to who can control and destroy everything.

This made Gilgamesh feel as if he had returned to his previous life, when his fate was controlled by the gods, and his dearest friend seemed destined to relive the tragedy of being killed by the gods. The reunion he had hoped for did not happen; what lay before Gilgamesh might even be a permanent separation.

Enraged, Gilgamesh finally couldn't resist challenging the Supreme God, demanding an answer from him regarding the whereabouts of his dearest friend. However, how could Alaya and Gaia respond to a transcendent being like Gilgamesh? No matter how much trouble he caused, Gaia and Alaya believed they would simply ignore him.

Of course, that's how it appears on the surface.

This ultimately became the reason why Gilgamesh pursued power without any restraint, seeking unlimited power.

Since you remain unmoved by my questioning, one day I will trample you under my feet, then arrogantly laugh as I watch your tears fall and listen to your pleading explanations.

This is what Gilgamesh is doing now.

People always have to do something in life, and Gilgamesh was no exception. As a Heroic Spirit, he naturally had no freedom or autonomy, but now, above the world, he had been completely unshackled. His anger, like the black mud, was spread to different worlds.

"Is this alright, Jill?"

A gentle question brushed past Gilgamesh's ear, and without hesitation, he replied, "There's nothing wrong with it. To me, the people of this other world are nothing but weeds. Humans are the very source of filth in the world. If humanity had even a shred of hope, how could it not be able to resist the power of this black mud?"

"This is a trial, a trial of humanity itself."

Gilgamesh finished speaking and suddenly froze.

The question and answer just now made Gilgamesh feel as if he had returned to the days when he was still in Uruk.

He and Enkidu always talked about the universe and the principles of being a king. No one but Enkidu could ever get Gilgamesh to open up and talk about everything, and no one could ever get Gilgamesh to calmly contemplate the good and evil, right and wrong of the world.

Is he in Uruk right now?

How can it be!

Beneath his feet lay endless black mud, a constant lamentation of humanity's sins and evils, an amalgamation that threatened to consume Gilgamesh. If it weren't for Gilgamesh's seemingly flawless rule, Gilgamesh felt he might have utterly degenerated into a madman.

So, if this isn't Uruk, who was the person who just spoke in his ear?

In this world, or rather, in the entire anime world, who is qualified to call Gilgamesh "Gil" and who makes Gilgamesh accept it naturally without any resistance?

"Enkidu!"

Gilgamesh whirled around, his eyes wide and bloodshot, a flicker of panic in them. He was afraid. This man, who feared nothing and even wanted to trample the supreme god underfoot, was now genuinely afraid that what had just reached his ears was merely an illusion.

However, the person who appeared behind him revealed a smile that Gilgamesh knew all too well.

"Yes, it's me, Jill."

"I'm so sorry for leaving without saying goodbye. I'm sure I've made you worry for so long."

No confirmation or verification was needed; simply by looking at that incredibly familiar smiling face, Gilgamesh knew that this person was indeed Enkidu. His dearest friend, his one and only friend in the world, Enkidu had returned.

"What... happened?"

Gilgamesh could only utter this question softly in the end. He was somewhat unsure how to face Enkidu's familiar smiling face. Should he put on the familiar face he had in Uruk, or should he stage a long-awaited reunion embrace with Enkidu?

Gilgamesh felt his face stiffen; the countless years of slaughter and madness across countless worlds had indeed taken their toll. Gilgamesh felt a heaviness in his body; now, clad in black armor, did he still deserve to be Enkidu's friend?

"It's a bit complicated to explain, but to put it simply, it's that I responded to a miracle and accepted God's call."

As Enkidu drew closer, Gilgamesh realized that beneath Enkidu's feet lay a colossal, black serpent. Its immense and powerful aura instantly convinced Gilgamesh that it too was a world-class deity, much like the Counter Force in the Fate universe.

Seemingly sensing Gilgamesh's gaze, the giant serpent beneath Enkidu's feet uttered a deep voice, saying, "I am the Serpent of Ritual, the creator god of the Crimson World, the supreme king of another world, Gilgamesh. I have brought your dearest friend, and I have also brought goodwill for cooperation."

"The time is ripe; it is time to welcome our own God."

……

"Mikuru, where are you?"

Haruhi Suzumiya's voice echoed in the living room as she changed her shoes and entered this temporary base located in Karakura Town, the world of Bleach.

For some unknown reason, the black mud and heroic spirits that invaded the world of Bleach have begun to retreat. Although the two sides were locked in a stalemate and the world of Bleach was showing signs of being unable to hold on, the battle suddenly came to an abrupt end.

Neither Haruhi Suzumiya nor the Bleach world, nor even the entire SOS Brigade, knew anything about what had happened on the Black Mud Army's side. After all, there was absolutely no possibility of communication with them, nor of any possibility of them spying on them.

However, this is a good thing for the entire SOS Brigade regardless.

Having gained some experience in dealing with the Black Mud in the Gensokyo world, the Black Mud that had invaded the Bleach world was finally brought under control. Thanks to the Bleach's cleanup efforts, the entire Bleach world, and even ordinary people, were completely unaware that disaster was looming over them.

"I'm in the kitchen. I've made the cake. Would you like to eat it now?"

"Wow, this is great, Mikuru's cake!"

Haruhi Suzumiya rushed into the kitchen and saw Mikuru putting the finishing touches on the cake with strawberries. Mikuru had clearly recovered by now, which undoubtedly made Haruhi Suzumiya the happiest.

"Let me try it first!"

Under Mikuru's slightly annoyed gaze, Haruhi Suzumiya unceremoniously picked up the strawberry from the center of the cake and stuffed it into her mouth. Even though there were still quite a few strawberries waiting to be used on Mikuru's plate, Haruhi Suzumiya deliberately chose the most conspicuous one.

Haruhi Suzumiya is Haruhi Suzumiya, still willful as ever, and it seems nothing can change her.

"Wow, it's sweet..."

Savoring the sweet and delicious strawberries, Haruhi Suzumiya strangely felt less happy than she had imagined. With Mikuru's cake and the retreat of the Black Mud Army—two things to be happy about—Haruhi Suzumiya felt a lingering desire that hadn't been fulfilled.

"Isn't it good if it's sweet? I specially picked out these strawberries!"

"It's not that it's bad..."

Haruhi Suzumiya frowned, not quite understanding what was wrong with her, and said, "Maybe I've been under a lot of pressure lately, and I keep wanting to eat something sweet."

091 Ugh—

"Want something sour?"

Mikuru looked at Haruhi Suzumiya with some surprise, as she was very familiar with Haruhi's condition. Although Haruhi currently appeared no different from an ordinary person, a powerful force had already been integrated into her body.

Since then, Haruhi Suzumiya has never been sick, nor has she experienced even the slightest abnormality. As for changes in her tastes due to stress, that has never happened either.

"Have you had Ryoko checked? Kasuga, are you still worried about what happened that day?"

The matter that day naturally involved her meeting with Momo. Although the meeting was brief, there was no doubt that Haruhi Suzumiya was at a complete disadvantage.

If it were a weakness in terms of strength, Haruhi Suzumiya would accept it. After all, the SOS Brigade had been almost constantly defeated since their encounter with Gilgamesh, and Haruhi Suzumiya had almost gotten used to this kind of weakness.

However, Momo's suppression of her was in almost every other aspect except for strength. Whether it was intelligence or demeanor, whether it was scheming or mentality, on that day, Haruhi Suzumiya felt that she had lost completely.
