"...I will send the most elite troops of the allied forces to create an opening later. You can rest for a while, and once the opening is made, we will charge forward in one go," King Kish said to the middle-aged general after a moment's thought.

"Good." Now that the goal has been achieved, the middle-aged general didn't waste any more words and immediately turned around to prepare to recall his men.

"King Kish, are we going to use that?" King Ur asked, his face grim. Uruk's fighting strength had exceeded his expectations. He was glad he hadn't stayed in the city and faced the enemy head-on alone.

“Yes, if this continues, we’ll collapse before we even take the city. Anyway, this was originally prepared for him, so sending him up now is just the right time,” King Kish said with a gloomy face.

Not long after the middle-aged general left, the signal to retreat appeared. The army, which had been in chaos, finally reacted in the same way. Upon seeing the signal, they immediately began to retreat. Unfortunately, the chaotic retreat caused them to suffer considerable casualties again.

Jill, who had been observing the situation, looked up at the creature approaching them from a distance. A slight smile appeared on his face. Finally, something that could amuse him had appeared, Jill thought to himself.

After the allied forces retreated, a large number of divine powerhouses, carrying a massive sphinx, walked towards this side. Jill had been wondering why there were almost no divine powerhouses among the attackers; it turned out they had all hidden in the back. As a result, the defending Uruk army was under much less pressure.

Knowing that divine beings would be doomed in Gilgamesh's presence, they naturally dared not climb the city walls. Even King Kish did not allow them to approach Gilgamesh easily, but instead sent them to the vicinity of the magical beasts to prevent any unexpected events from occurring.

The sphinx rapidly approached the city wall, its massive body causing tremendous tremors with each step forward. This was King Kish's trump card, a terrifying monster. When it was captured, it was severely wounded. Even so, the team that carried out the capture suffered heavy casualties before finally bringing it to the vicinity of the temple and temporarily subduing it with divine power.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Gilgamesh's strength and overestimated the strength of the monsters...

The Holy Grail has spent most of its time hunting magical beasts in recent years. (To be continued...)

P.S.: I was afraid I'd fall asleep in front of the computer... I barely managed to get up and finish writing this in the middle of the night, lol

Chapter 207 Sun Wheel War God

Seeing the Sphinx's enormous size, Gil frowned, then leaped lightly off the city wall, and with a powerful push of his feet, instantly appeared in front of the Sphinx.

The shadow of the monster covered the area where Jill was. Given its size and strength, it could easily open a breach in the city wall in just a few moves if it got close. Considering this, Jill decided to intercept it halfway.

"For a magical beast of your level to be enslaved by a bunch of trash, I really don't know how you managed to survive," Gil said mockingly after seeing the magical beast's appearance.

A monster that has reached the peak of the lower level of ferocity and could reach the middle level of ferocity at any time was actually captured alive. This is much more difficult than killing it.

With its head slightly lowered, the lion-like monster's murky eyes showed no change as it stared at Gilgamesh. Then, with a twitch of its front paws, a deep pit instantly appeared before it.

"Qi," Gil clicked his tongue and took a step back. This monster was definitely not normal. Had it been single for too long and become hentai?

"Chains of Heaven!" Gil took a few steps back, pointed at the monster, and shouted quickly.

Around the sphinx, countless ripples appeared in the space. In everyone's eyes, more than a dozen silver chains pierced through the space, like silver streaks of light binding the sphinx to various parts of the sphinx. The chains of heaven would automatically increase in length according to the target, and there would never be a situation where they could not bind the sphinx.

Silver chains bound its limbs and head, with several chains directly fastened to the sphinx's body, binding it in place.

The allied forces were all watching the battle unfold, especially King Kish. Although they had some suspicions, seeing the Sphinx bound by the Chains of Heaven still made them uneasy.

The soldiers of Uruk also focused their attention on the battlefield. Seeing the monster restrained, they unconsciously tightened their grip on their weapons. However, some elite soldiers covered their faces and sighed; their king was making a fool of himself again...

They were all elite soldiers who had participated in the Holy Grail's campaign to slay the monsters, and they were familiar with the Chains of Heaven's power. They had even witnessed the King act foolishly... well, to use the Great Sage's words, foolishly. And still acting like a teenager, knowing it was impossible to succeed but insisting on trying anyway...

The tightly bound sphinx instantly snapped its silver chains in front of everyone's eyes, and countless broken silver chains fell into the air, gradually turning into golden powder and disappearing.

The Chains of Heaven are the natural enemy of the gods, but for those without divinity, they are merely a slightly stronger chain. And the magical beasts don't possess any divinity. It's truly baffling why the king always has to recklessly use them, the elite soldiers on the city walls thought helplessly.

"Hahahaha. King Uruk, we have long studied your divine abilities. They are indeed a natural enemy to those who possess divinity, but how can you deal with a magical beast?" King Ur of the allied forces laughed loudly, feeling extremely smug. When the magical beast was bound by the Chains of Heaven, they were really worried that something unexpected might happen. Now, as long as the magical beast opens a breach in the city wall, everything is already decided.

As soon as King Ur finished speaking, the lion-like monster launched another attack on Gil. Countless tremors shook the earth, leaving the space between Gil and the monster riddled with holes, and cracks constantly appeared in the ground.

If you could see Jill's expression, you would see that he looked very repressed, and his gaze toward the monster was becoming increasingly hostile. "I helped you break free from the control of those scum in the sky, and you still dare to attack me? You want to die? I'll grant your wish!"

With a flash, he swiftly left the ground and leaped directly above the monster. His golden fist struck the monster instantly, the powerful impact causing a small dent in the ground where the monster stood, with cracks spreading outwards.

After being suddenly attacked by Jill, the monster fell to the ground and did not get up for a long time. Cheers suddenly rang out from the city wall.

The powerful one was facing the weaker one, and had been gathering his strength for a long time. If he couldn't finish the job in one blow, all of Wu Feng's years of guidance would have been for nothing. However, Jill also felt his own lack of resources; he had too few weapons! If he had enough weapons to deal with all kinds of situations, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.

Upon witnessing this scene, the morale of the allied forces plummeted. Even King Kish and King Ur widened their eyes, trying to confirm whether it was all an illusion. This was no ordinary beast, but a magical creature! If it hadn't been severely injured, Kish wouldn't have even been able to harm it; it had been taken down so easily!

Some generals in smaller towns have already decided to lead their men in retreat; anyone would feel pressured in the face of such a king.

"Is this the surprise you brought? It's barely passable as a punching bag." Standing in front of the monster, Gil's arrogant face was tinged with mockery.

“King Uruk, don’t be too arrogant. The great god will punish you,” the King of Kish said to him in a somber tone, suppressing his surprise.

What happened today left even King Kish feeling a bit overwhelmed. He hadn't known that human strength could reach such heights. Even the city's strongest divine general couldn't withstand more than a few rounds against a magical beast, yet he was knocked down in one blow, which was simply unbelievable.

"God? I almost forgot. Your biggest trump card should be that God who's always watching from the sky. What, aren't you coming down? Do you want to watch me wipe out all these people?" Jill looked up at the sky and shouted, flames burning in her golden eyes as if she wanted to burn the sky to ashes.

The ferocious low-level demonic beast is already comparable to a low-level celestial being. How could it be so easily controlled? There must be a celestial being behind it, and not just any ordinary celestial being.

Everything was going just as the teacher had predicted, Jill thought to herself.

Jill's words also attracted the attention of others. Could it be that the gods were really watching this battle? Many people also looked up at the sky, but they did not see any gods, only occasional clouds drifting by.

"Gilgamesh, you have gone too far down the wrong path. Now that you have returned, you can still receive Anne's forgiveness." As some people lowered their heads in despair, a loud voice came from the sky and reached everyone's ears.

Golden beams of light descended from the sky, and a burly man gradually fell from the heavens. Behind him was a winged sun disk. His ancient face was solemn and dignified, and his muscles were as if carved by a knife, full of explosive power.

His appearance gave the coalition forces great confidence, especially the Kish army, many of whom knelt down and saluted him.

"Great God of War, please bestow your divine power to destroy the heretics before us," King Kish dismounted, bowed respectfully to him, and then made the request.

This is their city's guardian deity, the Sun Wheel War God - Ashur (To be continued...)

P.S.: Lately, it takes me 48 hours to reach the same level as the first day's 24 hours, lol. Oh well, I'm content... Speaking of which, should I ask for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets here? Thanks to all the readers for the monthly tickets and rewards!

Chapter 208 I'd Rather Die Than Go Out

At the very moment the sun wheel triumphed, Wu Feng, Ye Yue, and Shen Yue, who were far away in Uruk, all sensed that someone had descended from the sky.

“Just as you thought, Jill’s actions have already threatened them, and now she’s come out to obstruct them,” Shen Yue said to Wu Feng with a slight frown as she sensed the approaching figure.

Uruk City isn't exactly close to Ur City, so sensing activity from there wouldn't be easy—at least not with their current strength. But the guy who descended was too conspicuous…

That's right, it's all about showing off, or in a sense, ostentation. They want the whole world to know, making as much noise as possible, to the point that you can clearly sense a god descending over there...

“As expected, if they don’t intervene, Gil’s strength is enough to easily sweep away the nearby cities, smash their idols, and greatly weaken them. Some gods won’t let Gil do that, so the chances of them intervening are very high,” Wu Feng said casually. After learning about the importance of faith to the gods, Wu Feng knew that such a day would definitely come.

"Senior, aren't you worried about your female disciple being surrounded and attacked? Why don't we go take a look?" Ye Yue, who was cleaning the room, stopped sweeping, placed her hands on the broom, tilted her head, and asked. Those gods who had descended over there wouldn't be an easy opponent for her if she didn't transform into a demon.

"No, it won't," Wu Feng replied with absolute certainty.

"Why?" Ye Yue asked curiously. Was it strange that the gods, driven to desperation, descended together to kill Jill? In Ye Yue's opinion, this was the easiest solution.

“Those guys consider themselves superior, like gods. They have incredibly strong egos. They would never mobilize all of them for an emperor. It would be good if one or two of them came down. Unless it's a matter of life and death, it's impossible for too many gods to come down at once,” Wu Feng continued to answer with certainty, his tone so firm that it was astonishing.

"Can't they see the destruction that Jill might bring?" Yoruzuki wondered. Even she couldn't see Uruk's potential, so how could the gods not see it?

"What does Ye Yue think of Uruk's apparent strength?" Wu Feng suddenly asked Ye Yue.

"With the Holy Grail, the Stigmata, King Gilles, and ourselves, given enough time, we might even be able to cripple them in a direct confrontation," Yoruzuki said, considering Uruk's current situation and the composition of its forces.

"On the surface, it's not that much. The only things the gods know are Jill, the king who restrains the gods, and the mysterious Uruk. Under my barrier, those gods who rely solely on faith to build their power will never be able to see even a fraction of what's inside the city."

"All of this combined might at most give Jill the qualifications to threaten God, allowing them to engage in equal dialogue, but it's unlikely to make God feel threatened with destruction. Someone who can restrain most gods, yet pose little threat to them."

"Given their internal discord, as long as the cities Jill possesses don't cross their bottom line, not many gods will descend upon them. Their internal disharmony makes them desperate for their rivals' cities to be destroyed, allowing their own faith to reach new heights," Wu Feng calmly analyzed, concluding with his last sentence.

"Therefore, it's destined that multiple gods cannot descend. Gil's abilities are more than enough to handle everything; we don't need to worry too much."

Wu Feng's analysis gave Ye Yue a headache. She massaged her temples, thinking that what he said made a lot of sense, but something just felt off...

“In the end…” Shen Yue, who had been listening the whole time, sighed, walked between the two of them, to Wu Feng’s side, and looked down at him as she spoke.

"All this explanation is just because you don't want to go out..." Shen Yue said helplessly. In the past two years, Wu Feng has left the Moon Tower less than ten times... When there's something to discuss, Gilgamesh transforms into a girl and comes to the Moon Tower to discuss it. When there's nothing to do, he stays at home and refuses to go out. Even when Enkidu comes, Wu Feng only reluctantly leaves the Moon Tower area... Just how much of a homebody is he!

"Oh right, so that's where the problem is. Sister Yue is amazing, she noticed it right away." Ye Yue clapped her hands and immediately understood.

"After analyzing for so long, the senior concluded that the other side wouldn't send too many people down, so we don't need to help. It's just an excuse to stay at home," Ye Yue said with a sly smile, her eyes narrowed.

"Don't expose my struggles..."

Regardless of Wu Feng's analysis of the reasons, the result was the same as he had guessed: only one god descended to earth, the sun god of war, Ashur, the city's guardian deity worshipped by Kish.

……

As Ashur descended, it was as if a crack appeared in the sky, and golden light illuminated the entire battlefield, making the world seem a little brighter. The place where he was located was even more dazzling with beams of light that reached straight to heaven and earth, and he looked holy and radiant.

"Great God of War, please bestow your divine power to destroy the heretics before us!" King Kish immediately dismounted, bowed respectfully to him, and then pleaded.

This was his true trump card. Before the operation, Ashur had given him instructions to keep Gilgamesh here, and he would personally intervene if necessary.

Ashur ignored King Kish's words and instead looked at Gilgamesh, who was the only one present who was qualified to speak to her.

"I am Ashur, the God of War of the Sun Wheel, Gilgamesh, the Son of God personally chosen by Anne. Why betray the path of God? It's not too late to return now."

"Hahaha, just as the teacher said!" Jill suddenly burst into laughter as she faced Ashur, her voice filled with arrogance and pride.

"You scumbags just love to show off. You're clearly ready to fight at any moment, but you still have to spout a bunch of nonsense."

A radiant flame, like the sun, immediately ignited around Ashur. He didn't know what "showing off" meant, but his intuition told him it wasn't a compliment.

His primary purpose in descending to earth was to kill Gilgamesh, regardless of whether he was the son of a god or not. Ur worshipped the god An, but there were many people in Mesopotamia who believed in An, so he wouldn't descend to earth just for one person.

However, the sun god Ashur only has one city, Kish. With the great city of Kish, he ranks quite high among the gods. Once Uruk expands, the city of Kish, which is not far from him, will suffer a fatal blow. Can a city ruled by unbelievers still be expected to continue to worship him?

"This is your last chance. Return to Uruk immediately and never leave the city again, and I may spare you this time." The sun's flames on Ashur's body grew stronger and stronger, and his aura became even more magnificent. The scorching air flowed across the battlefield, and in just a few breaths, most of the allied forces were already drenched in sweat.

"Our teacher once said, 'If you have the ability to show off, you're awesome; if you don't, you're just an idiot.' Which one do you think you are?" Jill said to Ashur, the chains on her arms clanging together, ready to strike at any moment. (To be continued...)

P.S.: Looks like I'll have to work overtime this weekend... My chapter will have to be delayed again...

Chapter 209 Godslayer

"The teacher once said, 'If you have the ability to show off, you're awesome; if you don't have the ability, you're just stupid.' Which one do you think you are?" Jill said to Ashur, the chains on her arms clanging together, ready to strike at any moment.

"What do you mean?" Ashur asked in a deep voice, having absolutely no idea what Gilgamesh meant by those words.

"What I mean is, in my eyes, you're not even as good as that stupid magical beast!"

Jill shouted, and the Heavenly Chains on her arm instantly detached. Countless ripple-like patterns appeared in the space around Ashur, and silver chains tore through the space, attacking her from all directions.

Jill's words enraged Ashur. To compare the great man to a stupid monster was beyond disrespectful. However, the chains that came flying through the air made him wary, as the pure silver chains brought him a lot of pressure.

Having already obtained the power of the Heavenly Chains from Kish City, even the God of War of the Sun Wheel dared not be easily bound. The sun's flames burned even more fiercely, as if Ashur herself had turned into flames, and all that remained in everyone's eyes was a burning ball of fire in the sky.

The burning flames seemed to scorch even the air, creating a strange distortion in mid-air. The flames quickly broke through the Locks of Heaven and flew towards Gilgamesh, causing the nearby plants to wither rapidly due to the heat they generated.
