As Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to express her distress, Matthew quickly comforted her.

Merlin, on the other hand, noticed the different situations of the other two.

"Oh my? The expressions on your faces don't seem to show any signs of distress at all."

In contrast to Fujimaru Ritsuka's sorrowful expression, as if she foresaw what was about to happen, Accelerator and Hatsune Miku showed no distress whatsoever.

Hatsune Miku even smiled as if she was looking forward to it.

"Hehe~ Anyway, just wait and see what happens next!"

"What do you mean by 'good show'?"

"That's why we're not going to let everyone just walk all this way for nothing!"

Hatsune Miku smiled at everyone, but the meaning behind her words was something that Matthew and Fujimaru Ritsuka found hard to understand.

then.

In front of everyone, Accelerator raised his hand.

Whoosh—! The flames of karma burn, and brilliance bursts forth.

A silver scythe named Nathos appeared directly in his hand.

Ignoring the surprised looks of the others, he threw the sickle in his hand forward.

Then, in an instant, Nathos transformed from mid-air into a supercar with silver and red stripes.

This is more than just being dumbfounded.

"Whoa? Whoa who ...

"This...this is a car?! A supercar, something only found in modern times, has appeared in the Age of Gods!"

Hmm~ Hatsune Miku nodded with satisfaction after seeing the two girls in front of her scream in fright.

"The reason we didn't rush like this yesterday was simply because we wanted to expose Enkidu's abnormal behavior. Now, there's absolutely no need to hide it!"

"You talk as if this thing belongs to you."

Accelerator's seemingly ordinary rant elicited different reactions from the people on the other side.

Matthew was shocked, and Fujimaru Ritsuka was equally shocked.

Dr. Roman, far away in Chaldea... is an even greater and more awe-inspiring experience.

"No, no, no—what was that just now? Can you do it again? I know you don't use magic to move around, but this is just too incredible! Turning such a small scythe into a car?! Are you a Servant?! That thing is practically a Noble Phantasm!"

"Hahaha—I see, I see. This makes traveling much more convenient."

Merlin laughed with great pleasure. There was no need for an introduction. As a magician with the ability to see the world from afar, Merlin naturally knew exactly what modern transportation was.

That being said, the ability to conjure a weapon out of thin air and then transform it into such a large vehicle is indeed a very impressive sight.

"This is incredible... Am I really going to ride in this supercar to Uruk?"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only two seats in the back. The interior space can be adjusted at will. If you want, you can fit more than ten people in there."

After saying that, Accelerator opened the car door.

"Come on, everyone, get on the bus quickly. Judging from Nateus's speed, we'll arrive in Uruk in just about an hour!"

"One hour?!"

"Not only that, if we weren't concerned that everyone might feel dizzy from the faster speed, we could reach Uruk in an instant at an even faster speed!"

"So this thing wasn't even yours to begin with... This is really annoying."

This is what Accelerator said with a speechless expression after seeing Hatsune Miku showing off like she was flaunting her own stuff.

"But no matter what, this way we can get to Uruk as soon as possible."

"Well... but anyway, you should still be careful."

Romani Archman was ultimately wary of Accelerator, so his vigilance was heightened in such an unbelievable situation.

The group then entered the car, and then...

—The car broke the sound barrier the moment it started moving.

Bang! The scenery outside the car window flashed by as if a movie were rewinding.

"What?! Whoa ...

"Um, Senior..."

"Although it is moving at extremely high speeds, the interior of this car protects us well from the impact of speed and makes us feel uncomfortable. Well, the only thing we can feel is the visual impact."

Merlin and Matthew noticed as soon as they entered the car that although the vehicle was moving forward at incredible speed, it did not affect them.

despite this.

"Even so, I'm still a human being! Supersonic racing and all that, this is my first time doing it—!!!"

Of course, what happened in the back of the car, and how Hatsune Miku cheered in the passenger seat, had nothing to do with Accelerator.

Because he had already reflected all the voices of those idiots.

Therefore, he wouldn't hear even the slightest sound, whether it was a mournful cry or anything else.

——————————————————————————————————————

We've arrived in Uruk.

However, as soon as they got off the car, a figure was seen lying on the ground.

"Senior! Cheer up!"

"Ugh... Ming, I told you everything would be alright on the train, so why does it still feel so disgusting..."

The girl covered her mouth and fell to the ground, but no matter how much she gagged, she couldn't vomit anything.

"Oh dear, after all, Fujimaru, you weren't affected by anything outside the car... The reason you're like this is just because you're scaring yourself."

"There's nothing I can do! I'm the only innocent human here, and I'm just a weak woman—Pfft!"

As Fujimaru Ritsuka shouted this, she gagged a few more times on the ground, but of course, nothing came out.

After everyone had left, Accelerator put away Nathos.

"Hmm... Is this Uruk?"

"Only places like this can be so prosperous in this era."

Not far in front of them was a huge, blue city gate.

Several soldiers guarded the entrance, and many carriages surrounded the area.

The main gate of Uruk... even just the gate itself is heavily guarded.

"Wow...! It looks heavily guarded. If we just go in, it might turn from a verbal argument into a fight, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I've told you many times, just follow me."

Merlin calmly led everyone forward.

"Come on, don't be afraid. The oldest city in human history is right before us. Now is not the time for us to turn back!"

Uruk...?

Accelerator stood before the gate, gazing at the massive city walls before him.

If the area just for defense is already this vast, one can only imagine how much larger and more prosperous the city inside must be.

His purpose in coming here was essentially still to gather intelligence.

"Let's go in first, explore the situation further, and then analyze countermeasures based on the specific circumstances."

"Really... We've come all this way to a city like this, can't we just enjoy sightseeing?"

Even at this point, I still can't shake off the constant state of vigilance I've always maintained.

Hatsune Miku, standing to the side, noticed this situation and couldn't help but murmur to herself.

The group quickly entered the city gate. Although there was a minor incident involving Anna and the gatekeeper along the way, it wasn't a big problem; in fact, it was a positive development.

It was only through Accelerator that we could see the face of the entire city more clearly.

Vast and prosperous, just as Merlin and Dr. Roman had described countless times before.

But what surprised everyone even more was not just these things.

"It's obvious, even during wartime, that the entire city's internal operations are running flawlessly?!"

"Yes... Although the people here only came onto the stage of history around 4000 BC, their lives are very refined, and the changes in the city are not affected by war at all."

As we have seen before, even with so many monsters attacking the city walls from the outside, the city's interior still maintains a reasonable operating order.

No one showed any fear because of the monster attack.

The people living here all have smiles on their faces.

'...This is truly an extraordinary place.'

Compared to Academy City, it's a completely different style and genre.

Even in the age of gods, so far removed from modern times, it still managed to maintain such a reasonable way of functioning that it would be entirely feasible to place such a city in modern times.

Accelerator and the others walked down the street, looking into the distance.

Located directly in front of the street... there is a huge temple that seems to reach the heavens.

"Then let's postpone our trip to enjoy the scenery of Uruk for now."

Merlin then turned around and looked at the crowd.

"Right now, we should prioritize meeting King Gilgamesh."

————————————————————————————————————————

Located directly in front of the street, within the Mesopotamian altar and temple.

The clothes she was wearing were blue and gold, but they couldn't completely cover her almost naked upper body.

A white hat covered her golden hair, and deep red things, like the hem of a skirt, covered her lower body.

"…Um."

The oldest king to rule over this Mesopotamian civilization.

His red eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at the street in the distance.

"I see, it seems we've arrived... Hmm?"

The scene should have been exactly the same as what I had seen and anticipated.

However, two shadows that I had never seen before appeared.

Wang squinted slightly, gazing ahead—as if he could see the person walking in the procession and approaching him.

The shadow of white hair, and the figure with the same eye color as himself.

"...Interesting, this is really interesting."

The king, who had spent almost half the day dealing with state affairs, for the first time—

The attention was substantially focused on a particular person.

Chapter 593 Gilgamesh

Following Merlin's instructions, the group headed directly into the temple.

These steps alone would take them several minutes to climb, and even looking down from here...

'So high…!'

Looking down at it, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt it was even larger than a skyscraper—

No, that's probably not a feeling.

As a Mesopotamian altar, this temple's tower... certainly far surpasses the height of other buildings.

"It's incredibly impactful..."

Perhaps that is indeed the case for Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew.

However, compared to Accelerator and Hatsune Miku, they are simply insignificant.
