[That is the death that all living things must face]

Neither you nor Enkidu can escape the law of mortality. For this reason, Gilgamesh, who has always wanted to defeat and surpass you, is lost and terrified.

[Even when facing Subaba, I have never been so scared]

[As a demigod, he has a long lifespan]

[However, because of your battle with the gods, you and Enkidu will face the same fate as mortals in the future.]

[Neither you nor Enki is afraid of death]

Gilgamesh is afraid

He just didn't say it. Given his personality, it's impossible for him to say this in front of you.

[The thought of losing you in the future]

Everything in the future seems to be becoming dull and boring, whether it is the great achievements of defeating the gods or the glory of being a king and a hero.

No one to drink with

The fine wine in the glass will no longer be fragrant.

No one to share with

[The fun in life will also turn into lonely self-entertainment]

Gilgamesh feels a tearing pain in his heart whenever he thinks of you and Enkidu dying like mortals.

He hates and fears death, which can take you away, and is afraid that he will encounter similar things in the future.

The arrogant Hero King blames you for not conquering death, and is disgusted by Enkidu's recognition of you.

[No matter how glorious the Hero King was in the past, at this moment, he is just a mortal who is afraid of death.]

So, he decided to embark on the journey alone.

[Searching for the magical herb that can prolong the lifespan of both of you]

After you know he made this decision

[Just shook his head and smiled bitterly]

The night before he left Uruk, you found Gilgamesh and asked him only one question—

"Jill, is it really death that you're afraid of?"

[For a moment, Gilgamesh was in a daze]

He cannot answer your words.

[And you, too, have seen your brother's true self, but you know you can't reveal it to him yourself.]

If he doesn't realize it himself, it's meaningless.

"I..........."

When Gilgamesh came to his senses.

He found that the palace was empty.

However, the question still haunted him.

Am I really afraid of death?

Gilgamesh couldn't think of an answer to this question for now.

You know the answer

【Those involved are confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly】

Having experienced life and death many times, you have a deeper understanding of death than Gilgamesh.

[The first reason is that he cannot accept the death of both of you while he lives alone in the world enjoying glory.]

【As for the second one, he has not yet realized it】

Gilgamesh cannot forgive himself for abandoning his duties as king.

[He once said that he would watch over humanity until the last moment]

He is the king who carries the future of mankind.

Therefore, he must continue to witness and judge, and he must be the judge of humanity. It is not as simple as just watching humans live a happy and fulfilling life.

This is the way of the king that Gilgamesh upholds.

[That’s why——]

[In order to witness the end of humanity]

He longs to live forever, until the end of the world.

[For this duty, Gilgamesh chooses to pursue immortality and seek immortality]

So, you knew you couldn't convince Gilgamesh, which is one of the reasons why you didn't stop him.

[This road is too long]

[Even you who are observing from the dark feel it is too long]

[You see, after completing a journey that lasted longer than his own lifespan, the Hero King finally obtained the immortality herb.]

[At that moment, as long as he eats the spiritual herb, he will be able to overcome your inevitable death without resistance]

Gilgamesh feels like he's defeated you for the first time.

The soul-stirring sense of accomplishment, fulfillment, and joy...it could be said that it was the first time he realized the meaning of life.

“Hahahaha…Finally…I found it…!”

[He laughed with joy]

[This way, not only will he defeat you, but he will also save both of you from the pain of death, allowing you to always enjoy the same pleasure and happiness as him.]

Gilgamesh daydreams about the future

At this moment, he seemed to hear the cheers of the people of Uruk. 0 2.7... He thought that if he returned to the city-state, he would be greeted with unprecedented praise and acclaim.

[By then, I'm sure even you will have to admit that you lost to Gilgamesh.]

Gilgamesh couldn't help laughing when he thought of this, and his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

He took the spiritual herbs with him and set out on the journey.

Gilgamesh looked around at his body and realized that after the long journey, his body had become quite shabby.

Vanity overflows along with high enthusiasm.

If I return to Uruk looking like a beggar, you will definitely make fun of me.

Gilgamesh thought of this and decided to tidy up his appearance.

[He found a spring on his way back].

Chapter 522: There must be something like the Immortal Grass, right? [Subscribe! Flowers!]

[The fatigue accumulated over decades was washed away by the spring water]

【--serene】

Gilgamesh thought earnestly.

You can more or less understand his mentality at this moment.

[That kind of freedom is like liberating both the body and the mind from a long period of shackles.]

This is a joy I have never experienced before

【I feel like I am human at this moment】

[——This is the leap of life]

[This kind of joy, comparable to the conclusion of the birth of the universe, is enough for anyone to savor forever and at will.]

But you know how this story ends.

All that awaited the foolish Gilgamesh was the sacred herb being eaten by a snake. The ending was so absurd and ridiculous.

Gilgamesh fell silent after seeing that scene.

[You laughed heartlessly]

[Still hammering the floor of the underworld and laughing]

[In the end, even Gilgamesh laughed, and the indescribable self-mockery instantly swallowed him up.]

[He bursts out laughing uncontrollably]

【Like crazy】04

Even Gilgamesh laughed at his own folly. He paid so much, but got this result.

After nearly a hundred years, what he finally got, what he was proud of, was just "nothing"

Gilgamesh returns to Uruk in disgrace.

[At that time, he learned that you had passed away]

Uruk gave you, the prime minister who had made a great contribution for a century, a grand burial. Until now, the successor king of Uruk has been diligently guiding his people according to your will.

[Although not as prosperous as during the reign of Gilgamesh]

【But, fortunately, it did not decline】

Gilgamesh went to your grave, and there he saw his brother's grave.

[For a moment, he felt that everything was lost]

How ridiculous this is

If he had spent his final moments with his family and close friends, perhaps he would have left something behind. However, he didn't.

He chose to pursue the elusive eternal life.

[In my memory, there is only endless self-mockery]

[At the very end, when everything is over, nothing will remain in his hands]

[——This is the only reward Gilgamesh received after giving everything.]

[It was like feeling the fullness of life and the joy of life for the first time]

[These are all things that will be fleeting like that, disappearing in an instant.]
