Moe Girl Guardians

Maids in the world of anime, especially those from well-known manga, have another name: all-rounders... Basically, they can handle everything from social graces to domestic skills, and even fight off mistresses... well, let's not get into that. In other words, maids can do most of what you need, especially someone like Shinra, who can watch the Scarlet Devil Mansion all by herself, she's an all-rounder among all-rounders.

The dilapidated open space near the palace was completely reduced to ashes by Wu Feng with a single wave of his fan, giving them a deeper understanding of Wu Feng's abilities.

Then came a variety of precious building materials, which were delivered to their destination. Within a few days, the outline of a truly luxurious villa had already appeared in the city of Uruk.

With Shenyue designing the building and Wu Feng and Yeyue handling the material processing, the construction was completed in just a few days. The name, Moon Tower, had already been decided upon; it didn't have any particular meaning and was just a sudden inspiration from Wu Feng. This place was revered by countless people in Uruk and even around the world in later generations.

After a month of meticulous revisions, it was finally completed, and entering it gave Wu Feng the feeling of returning to the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

When Gilgamesh first arrived at the Moon Tower, he was completely stunned. He stood at the door for a long time before he reacted under Wu Feng's teasing gaze. He was so ashamed and indignant that he immediately returned to the palace.

This was also Wu Feng's first lesson for Gilgamesh: never be too arrogant. There are too many things in the world you haven't seen. If you had to describe Wu Feng's ridiculous behavior in one or two words, it would be: showing off...

However, even he himself did not expect that Shingetsu could design it so well using the existing materials. Apart from its scale, its quality was comparable to parts of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

……

Inside the Moon Tower, Wu Feng held the intelligence written on parchment and analyzed the current situation.

The situation in Uruk was far more dire than Lugalbanda had described. In this era, every city had its own patron deity, the god they worshipped.

The key point is not that, but the hierarchy. Gods are also divided into ranks, and what determines their rank is the cities they rule. The more cities they own, the larger their scale, and the more people who believe in them, the higher their rank.

This led to frequent so-called wars of the gods among the kings, and now, with the rise of Uruk, all the kings have turned their attention to them.

The city without faith is also the most prosperous city, making their respective gods extremely envious. It is precisely the mutual restraint between them that has allowed Uruk to survive until now. Otherwise, even Lugal, who has the title of god, would not be able to face the challenges of multiple kings at the same time.

This stalemate won't last long; the recent invasions show that some are getting impatient.

A general plan had already taken shape in Wu Feng's mind. He decided to make Gilgamesh the strongest king in the vicinity. Wasn't the level of a god determined by the cities under his rule? If no one worshipped him, how weak would the Sumerian pantheon become?

Before that, he needed to hide and avoid appearing in the eyes of the gods as much as possible, at least until Gilgamesh reached their bottom line, to strengthen himself and deliver a thunderous blow when necessary.

……

"Teacher Wu Feng, what are we going to learn today?" A haughty voice echoed in the Moon Tower as a handsome blond youth stood in front of an ordinary boy.

Wu Feng looked at the student in front of him with a conflicted expression. He didn't know why, but whenever Gilgamesh stood in front of him, he felt an urge to punch him… especially after Gilgamesh became taller than him… Only three years! He'd already been overtaken! (orz)

In fact, Wu Feng had indeed beaten him up once, using the pretext of testing his strength, and mercilessly beat him until his face was bruised and swollen. When Gilgamesh found out the reason, he became even more irritating. Every time he came to see Wu Feng, he would deliberately stand in front of him and greet him with a condescending gaze, "Where the hell are you, a primary school student?"

Wu Feng got angry so much that he just let it go... If he really made him stupid, Jin Shanshan would become Silly Shanshan.

"Go back to your studies, don't keep running around here... Have you finished all the books I gave you?" Wu Feng asked, annoyed. In the past three years, Gilgamesh had gone from refusing to come here to coming more and more frequently, and now it was almost once a day. If it weren't for his ignoring of Shen Yue and Ye Yue, Wu Feng would have suspected that he was going through a heat cycle...

"No, I've only read less than half of it," Gilgamesh said decisively.

(Thank you all for the comforting donations, we'll keep going~ We've finally made it through the transition period.)

Chapter 188 A New Chapter

"Then why aren't you going to go see it? Why are you just wandering around here again..." Wu Feng replied weakly after hearing this, and continued to write some documents with his head down.

"There's a section in this volume that I don't quite understand, so I've come specifically to ask you for help," Jill said calmly.

After three years, Gilgamesh had come to accept Wu Feng. It had to be said that although this teacher was quite a scoundrel, he was accomplished in almost every field. His breadth of knowledge was astonishing. Astronomy, geography, military affairs, politics—there was almost nothing he didn't know.

He also helped his father revise the new policies, which made Uruk even more prosperous, and almost everyone in Uruk knew the name of the Holy Master Wu Feng.

What frustrated him most was his strength. Over the past three years, his demigod-like characteristics had gradually become apparent. He could even fight his father, Lugalbanda, for a while, but he had no power to resist Wu Feng, who could do whatever he wanted with him...

"...Where is it this time?" Clearly, this isn't the first time Gilgamesh has used the word "where".

Wu Feng also temporarily stopped writing. This was a grand gift he planned to give Gilgamesh after he became king, but it would take a long time, and he was now nearing the end of the process.

"It's about the previous book..."

"Damn it!" Wu Feng cursed under his breath just as Gilgamesh was about to ask.

"Jill doesn't have time for your questions anymore, and not for my city walls."

Without waiting for Gilgamesh's reaction, Wu Feng grabbed him and floated into the sky. From there, it was clear that Uruk was surrounded by the armies of the four colors. Although they had not yet launched an attack, war could break out at any moment. Lugalbanda was talking to the enemy at the city gate. Wu Feng quickly flew towards that direction with Gilgamesh.

"Those guys can't wait any longer, they're here earlier than I expected." The attack on the city didn't surprise Wu Feng; it was bound to happen sooner or later. But what happened next made Wu Feng pause.

Before their eyes, a black light suddenly shot out from below the city. If Wu Feng were on the city wall, he could have protected him, but the distance was too great to carry out a rescue. They could only watch as Lugal was pierced through.

Subsequently, the surrounding armies also began their attack on the city. It was alright that they hadn't received specific information from other directions, but once they saw the location where Lugal had fallen, their morale plummeted. They had only just begun their siege when they already saw signs of the enemy scaling the city walls.

As Wu Feng landed on the city wall with Gilgamesh in his arms, his face was terribly gloomy. After three years, Lugal could be considered his friend, yet he was ambushed right before his eyes.

After “Father” landed, Gilgamesh quickly ran towards Lugal.

The black light did not immediately take Lugal's life, but his life force was indeed growing weaker and weaker.

"You've come," Lugal said, slumped on the city wall, managing a weak smile. His face no longer held the majesty it had three years ago; he was weak and aged, with nearly half of his hair turned white. The closer he got to the end of his life, the faster the changes became.

"Why didn't you notify me in advance? The alliance of the Four Kings, do you think you're still at your peak?" Wu Feng asked with some sorrow, looking at the aging Lugal.

“I’m getting old, and I can’t remember some things. The temple priests, I never thought I’d be brought to the battlefield…” Lugal said with difficulty, raising his hand to touch Gilgamesh’s head. Although he had no wounds on his body, every move he made seemed to require all his strength.

Temple sacrifices, or sacrifices to the gods, grant the worshippers unique powers, even greater than those of divine beings. This is one reason why other countries worship gods.

"Father, you will be alright. With your teacher here, he will surely be able to save you!" Even the proud Gilgamesh shed tears at this moment. He was the king and also the son of Lugal. In the end, he looked at Wu Feng with hopeful eyes.

"Cough, don't think too much. I know my body better than anyone. Even without this battle, I only have a year left to live before I reach the end," Lugal comforted Gilgamesh, rubbing his head.

Wu Feng remained silent. Indeed, he could lead people to their deaths, and saving them would not be difficult for him. However, Lugal's situation was that his lifespan had run out, and ordinary death could not be reversed by treating injuries or illnesses.

"Senior Wu Feng, could you please find a way to let me live one more day? I can't leave in peace until I repay the harm these bastards have caused me." With all his might, Lugal leaned against the wall, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. He didn't want to leave like this; he had to at least give them a big gift.

"..."

Wu Feng didn't speak, but walked up to Lugal, transferred a portion of his death power into the other's body, and then said with some sorrow.

"My power is based on death; it can only sustain you for an extra hour before dissipating."

"That's enough!" Under the death power transmitted by Wu Feng, Lugal's voice became stronger, and his body briefly regained its mobility.

With sword drawn and fighting spirit burning in his eyes, Lugal stood atop the wall once more, slashing down enemies who had scaled it with a single stroke, and shouted, "You scum, I have returned! Glory be to Uruk! We will surely be victorious!"

With Lugal's return, morale on the city walls instantly returned, and the situation was turned around. Their king was a hero hailed as a god; how could he possibly fail so easily?

Lugal's recovery surprised those below, who launched several more magical attacks. But with Wu Feng right there, they couldn't possibly succeed. All the attacks were inexplicably neutralized in front of Lugal, which boosted the morale of those on the city wall even more.

The battle was ongoing, but Uruk showed no signs of defeat and even appeared poised for a counterattack, making those below somewhat uneasy.

"King Ur, give the order to retreat. As long as he is still alive, it will be difficult for us to advance," the priest in black robes said to the young man before him.

"Let them live a little longer this time," the young man said unwillingly, turning around and issuing the order to retreat. Victory was just around the corner!

Ur's retreat prompted the other three sides to follow suit, and cheers of victory erupted from the city walls. Lugal stood atop the city wall, sword in hand, watching the departing allied forces.

No one noticed that Lugal was now emanating a heavy aura of death, and his remaining time was nearing its end.

"Senior, from now on... Jill... will be relying on your help a lot..."

After leaving behind a final message, Lugalbanda, the third king of Uruk, who held the title of god, passed away.

(Regardless of the actual history, all the plot points are based on the novel, that's all~)

Chapter 189 The Girl Shining

Lugal's death could no longer be kept secret, and the news spread rapidly. The four-king alliance, which had just considered retreating, immediately stopped and began to confirm the news, preparing for the next attack.

This was not the time for Lugal's funeral. That evening, in the palace where he was being mourned, only Gilgamesh and Wu Feng were sitting there; everyone else was forbidden to approach the palace.

“My mother was the goddess Rimatninson, who gave up everything as a god and married my father, King Lugalbanda, as a mortal, but disappeared after I was born,” Gilgamesh said calmly, as if telling a story.

"The reason has never been told to me, but from that day on, my father disregarded everyone's objections and built a temple to worship heroes. Over the next five years, he gradually weakened the influence of the gods. Three years ago, he completely demolished the temples dedicated to the gods. As a result, the gods sent down natural disasters, and the city of Uruk was thrown into turmoil and nearly destroyed."

"In the end, Father succeeded. From that day on, Uruk had no concept of gods. They did nothing to benefit the city, yet they received offerings from thousands. If anything displeased them, they would bring down natural disasters. Teacher... what exactly are gods?" Gilgamesh's face was unusually calm, as if Lugal's death had nothing to do with him.

“...a special creature that was born earlier than humans, possesses greater power, and at the same time must rely on humans to survive.” Wu Feng thought for a moment and gave Gilgamesh a fair assessment.

"Then why should they accept offerings! They can kill whomever they want!" Gilgamesh's voice gradually rose, filled with hatred for those high and mighty gods, even more so than for the Four Kings' alliance. Without them, Uruk would not have been besieged, nor would it have been killed in a sneak attack by the priests.

“Because their power is greater than all of Uruk combined, you have no right to resist their judgment,” Wu Feng said quietly. At this moment, she also understood why such a quest for subjugation had appeared. These greedy false gods and their agents, as long as there was the benefit of power, would be enough to make them betray the world.

“What if I’m stronger than them?” Wu Feng’s answer made Jill laugh, and a strange energy fluctuation spread from his body.

“As long as you have the power to stand against a group of gods, then even if you forcibly bring them down as your servants, no one will dare to rebel against you,” Wu Feng replied confidently.

"...I am the son of the great hero Lugalbandar and the goddess Rematninson. I hereby swear that I will become the strongest king! One day I will drag those high and mighty gods down to earth and make them regret what they have done!"

Gilgamesh suddenly roared to the sky, vowing to be an enemy of the gods from this day forward. At the same time, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a huge bolt of lightning struck straight down from the palace, as if in response to Gilgamesh.

The lightning wasn't very powerful, but it was enough to destroy Gilgamesh before. Wu Feng gritted his teeth; he couldn't let him die like that. It seemed he had no choice but to expose himself to the gods ahead of time.

But before he could make a move, a burst of golden light erupted from the sacrificial palace, enveloping the entire palace. Even the lightning that descended from the sky failed to penetrate it. The guards outside panicked and tried to go in to check the situation, but they were all refused entry.

Inside the palace, Wu Feng, shocked, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes repeatedly. "Holy crap, have I ruined my magic eyes?! Should I go get a new pair and come back for another checkup?"

After Gilgamesh finished shouting, the strange fluctuations around his body intensified, his feet left the ground, and he floated in mid-air. A dazzling light quickly enveloped the entire sacrificial palace centered on him.

In Wu Feng's eyes, Gilgamesh's short golden hair grew rapidly, like a golden waterfall that cascaded down to his waist before stopping. His handsome face also became more delicate, and his crimson eyes blazed like a raging fire, dazzlingly bright. His white breasts were also slightly raised.

A silver chain pierced through space and appeared around Gilgamesh. As the chain appeared, the strange phenomenon gradually faded, the golden light surrounding the palace disappeared, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed. Everything returned to its previous state. The only things that changed were the boy (girl) in front of him and the chain.

"Jill has awakened divine abilities. No one is allowed to enter before dawn." A faint purple light flashed as Wu Feng sealed off the entrance and announced this to the outside world.

Gilgamesh's situation reminded him of divine awakening. Over the years, Wu Feng had also studied divinity a little, but he hadn't figured out exactly what it was. However, he was certain that people who possess divinity go through an awakening process. Before awakening, they are just ordinary people with potential.

The Gilgamesh before my eyes seems to be going through a process of divine awakening. Is the Chains of Heaven the power he awakened? A weapon against the gods that appeared specifically because of his strong desire.

After awakening, Gilgamesh's power has reached the level of a low-ranking false god in this era. However, if the Chains of Heaven are added, even a high-ranking false god might not be able to escape unscathed.

"Is this the power of divine awakening? You scum in the sky, one day I will fulfill my promise. Huh, teacher, what's wrong?" Gilgamesh muttered to himself in a cute girlish voice after landing.

Seeing Wu Feng's reaction, Gilgamesh suddenly asked in confusion, his attitude having changed considerably. With Lugal dead, Wu Feng was the only person she was truly close to.

At this moment, Wu Feng was covering his eyes with one hand, unable to bear looking directly at Gilgamesh, even though the scene he had seen after scanning it once was already deeply imprinted in his mind...

"Gil, hurry up and find some clothes to put on..." Wu Feng said helplessly to Gilgamesh, who was still standing there blankly.
