National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

"Humph!"

Gilgamesh raised his hand and waved!

Blades, knives... the prototypes of all Noble Phantasms begin to appear in Gate of Babylon!

It fired with a vengeance! All of it struck Susanoo!

The series of explosions enveloped Susanoo's body, and the force of the explosions forced Susanoo to take several steps back.

Wu Yue, however, looked down at all of this with a blank expression.

Do you remember what Wu Yue said?

Wu Yue felt that fighting Gilgamesh was a bit risky.

But this uncertainty is actually just an unknown.

Because Wu Yue kept thinking about whether to believe in causality or in the power of expression when it came to Gilgamesh.

If we're only talking about expressiveness...

Wu Yue was confident he could end the fight within five seconds.

Chapter 143 Gilgamesh is furious! He swings the sword Equality wildly!

Causality and expressiveness

This is a point of contention that has been ongoing regarding the fighting power on Tieba (Baidu's online forum).

To give a very simple example.

Cu Chulainn's Noble Phantasm - The Spear That Pierces Death Thorns -

The use of this Noble Phantasm is a move that reverses the "cause and effect" that means the order of things. At the moment it is released, the "effect" of "the opponent's heart being pierced" will be created first.

The "cause" that "the gun hit because the heart was pierced" occurred afterward. Without considerable luck, it could be said to be a move that was guaranteed to kill if released.

To put it bluntly...

That is, once this Noble Phantasm is used, it will...

must!

middle!

Heart!

dirty!

—Guaranteed to win!—

But what was the result? Wu Yue easily banished him using Susanoo.

The law of cause and effect guarantees a result, yet its expressive power is so weak.

Similarly, Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm

—The Star That Created the Separation of Heaven and Earth—

is also like this.

Recounting the beginning, when heaven and earth separated, and no one was created, I wielded the sword of separation that cleaved the world, and rolled up the mortar of stars. The hell in the heavens was the end point on the eve of creation, and I submitted to it with my death, the star that separated heaven and earth.

The sword, hailed as the "world-splitter," surpasses the power of the "Excalibur." Its effect, identical to the legend of "slicing through the world," elevates it to a special category.

Its sword emits wind pressure that creates a simulated spatial fracture, shattering the enemy. This can be expressed as—understanding something that was "a planet that was hell before the creation of the world"—

To put it bluntly

That is a power similar to the power that created heaven and earth, the power that created all things.

Wu Yue remained cautious about this much-hyped Noble Phantasm.

But now, I'm getting a little impatient.

Gilgamesh stood atop the tallest, most prominent tree in the forest, arms crossed.

He raised his hand and waved!

Countless treasures of the king appeared in the sky! Even the horizon was dyed gold!

The prototype of the world's Noble Phantasm, countless weapons and blades shot out at Susanoo like machine guns!

—Bang bang bang!!!—

Huge explosions continued one after another! Susanoo was engulfed in dust!

"You really deserve praise for making me use my true abilities...—Hmm—?!"

"Yeah~"

Wu Yue, hands on his hips and carrying the demonic spear, had somehow teleported behind Gilgamesh!

The two were facing away from each other...

--------

Celestial Empire

"Holy crap! When?! My damn awesome wife's Flying Thunder God Technique?!"

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, so sexy! A black and purple bodysuit with her back to Gilgamesh! Wu Yue has such a great figure!"

"Fuck..."

"Holy crap! How did Susanoo collapse?! Wasn't Wu Yue inside?!"

"What the hell are they focusing on upstairs?! It's a big place, but there's a fierce battle going on right now!"

"Holy crap! Guys, doesn't this look like when Cú Chulainn suddenly appears behind Archer in the original story, casually wielding his magic spear as if nothing's wrong, and then suddenly stabs him backward?!"

"Holy crap... Wu Yue's figure is ridiculously good... and that black and purple bodysuit... her waist is so tiny, holy crap..."

--------

"You bastard..."

Wu Yue lowered his head and smiled. He tightened his grip on the magic spear that was resting on his right shoulder.

Give it your all!

--call out!--

The demonic spear broke through! Its speed was so great that it blasted up the surrounding air, creating two visible shockwaves!

The atmosphere instantly became quiet...

Wu Yue looked back and smiled helplessly.

At the last second, Gilgamesh dodged the attack and leaped into the forest.

Upon landing on the ground, Gilgamesh touched his right cheek...

I put it down and looked at it...

Wu Yue also jumped down from the tree and landed directly in front of Gilgamesh.

"What's wrong? Are you angry because you saw yourself bleeding? That's not the kind of spirit a king should have~"

Gilgamesh's eyes widened instantly, clearly enraged, as he glared at the woman before him.

"You're really angry, aren't you? Then why don't you just go all out and kill me? Just use your... what's that... Heaven and Earth Divergence... Heaven and Earth Divergence what's that again..."

Wu Yue deliberately touched his chin, pretending to think about it seriously.

"Hmm... Ah, sorry, it's because you're a chuunibyou kid who's never been properly beaten that you've attracted so much of my attention... I forgot... Hahaha~ But this is absolutely not meant to mock or insult your Noble Phantasm~"

Gilgamesh slowly lowered his head, his body beginning to tremble... his anger rising!

"Oh no re! Oh no re! Oh no re! Oh no re! Oh no re! Oh no re! Oh no re! Oh no re! Oh no re! Oh no re!"

Next second!

A treasure unlike any other appeared to Gilgamesh's right!

And from within the golden vortex of the Gate of Babylon, something golden slowly emerged!

Upon seeing this, Wu Yue immediately made preparations!

Coming soon!

The star that marked the beginning of the separation of heaven and earth!

"Simply killing is far from satisfactory, you mongrel. Fine, so be it."

Gilgamesh slowly pulled something resembling a keychain from the Gate of Babylon.

It was pure gold, with intricate mechanisms, each one linked to the next, and a red aura visibly emanated from it.

Place it in front of you, straighten it, and twist it.

—Click!—Click!—

The key began to assemble automatically! At the same time, a dazzling golden light began to shine!

Next second!

Countless crimson magic runes shot into the sky! Intricate and complex! Yet incomparably magnificent!
