Moe Girl Guardians

The flames resembled a fireball, rampaging through the air. Any life within its range was inevitably drained of moisture and rendered unable to fight.

But just as he was not far from Jill, two silver chains suddenly appeared without warning and swiftly pierced into the fireball, instantly halting his advance.

Although Wu Feng did not understand the special reason for Gil's divinity, he understood the power of the Chains of Heaven very well. The most important thing in the past two years was to train him in the use of the Chains of Heaven. After all, if you can't bind people, no matter how powerful it is, it's useless.

As Ashur transformed into flames and broke through the chains, a second wave of chains was already prepared.

The moment the chains pierced the fireball, it was as if they had encountered their natural enemy, immediately halting the fireball's advance. The burning flames also began to twist irregularly, and soon after, the flames gradually died down, revealing the Sun Wheel War God within once more.

His face was extremely pale. Two chains were wrapped around Ashur's right hand and left leg, respectively. What alarmed him was that these chains were made of some unknown material, and even his flames could not melt them in the slightest. When he tried to break the chains, the binding force would suddenly increase.

While bound by chains, he felt a slight suppression of his strength, though the suppression was minor and had little impact on him.

“If it were that monster on the ground, my Chains of Heaven would be useless; I would have to take action myself. But if it's you, there's no way you can break free of my Chains of Heaven.” When the Chains of Heaven bound Ashur, Jill was already relieved; the outcome was already decided.

The current Celestial's strength is roughly at the lower level of the Berserker realm, or more accurately, the pseudo-Berserker realm. At this level, if it were a magical beast, Gil would have a hard time winning, but as for a Celestial, this level doesn't yet have the ability to break free of the Heavenly Chains. According to Wu Feng's estimation, at least the peak of the lower level of the Berserker realm is needed to break the chains.

"Don't think that just because you've bound one of my hands and one foot, I can't do anything to you." Jill's veiled insult made Ashur's face turn grim. He secretly tried several methods, but none of them could break the chains. He knew he had overestimated himself this time.

"One hand and one foot? Hahaha!" Ashur's foolish words made Jill laugh again. She never expected that the god worshipped by all people was only this level.

With a flick of her hand, countless ripples appeared around Ashur once again, and silver chains reappeared. This time, Ashur had no way to avoid them; with two chains holding him in place, he was like a sitting duck.

"Do you still think there's a chance to turn things around? The outcome was decided the moment you were locked up," Jill said arrogantly. At the same time, she moved her hand, and the Chains of Heaven instantly burst out of space, locking all of Ashur's limbs and binding her into a starfish shape, fixing her in mid-air.

"Gilgamesh, don't go too far!" Hanging in mid-air in front of the believers, feeling humiliated, even Ashur felt like she was going crazy. She even wanted to kill everyone who saw this scene, and she roared in a low voice.

“Insolence… You scum have no right to speak to me like that. Die!” A slight emotional fluctuation appeared in Jill’s eyes, and her indifferent voice rang out with the clanging of chains.

The chains on his arm transformed into a streak of silver light, flying rapidly into the sky like a death warrant, intending to kill Ashur in one blow.

Ashur probably knew that she had completely failed this time, failed because she underestimated Gilgamesh's abilities, and stared at Gilgamesh intently, as if trying to remember his appearance.

"If you manage to escape this calamity, I will remember you, Gilgamesh!" Ashur roared one last time, his body radiating a blinding light like the sun, and even the chains of heaven that bound him began to show slight cracks.

"Self-destruct," Jill thought instinctively.

We must not let him succeed! Jill instantly became serious, and the speed of the flying Chains of Heaven increased even more. If a god were to self-destruct, only he would have a chance to escape, while all the soldiers of Uruk would surely perish!

The silver light rapidly approached Ashur, finally passing through his body just as it was about to reach its peak, and the intensification of the light stopped.

"Who is it! Who is interfering with me..." Ashur stammered, but before she could finish speaking, she turned into a flame in mid-air, gradually burning away and disappearing from the battlefield.

……

"Godslayer! That man actually killed a god!" Ashur's disappearance caused a brief pause on the battlefield. Countless people stared in astonishment at what was happening before their eyes until someone cried out in surprise. Like dominoes, fear spread rapidly to everyone, even King Kish and King Ur felt the same emotion.

The first deserter appeared, followed by hundreds and thousands of people evacuating. The generals of the various cities ignored the orders of the King of Kish and quickly returned with their men. What a joke! Fighting these guys would take more than a few lives. Even the gods would be dead!

The chaotic scene left King Kish helpless, and he led his men back into the city, needing to cool down his somewhat overwhelmed mind.

Jill stood there, watching everyone evacuate without giving any orders. Only he knew how dangerous what had just happened was...

The self-destruction of the god would have destroyed most of the city of Ur. Theoretically, it would have been difficult for Jill's chains to catch up before the self-destruction. Just as the god said at the end, something delayed his self-destruction, which allowed Jill to finally succeed in killing the god.

A teacher? Jill wondered, but she wasn't sure. (To be continued)

P.S.: Thank you everyone for the monthly tickets and donations~ I can't believe I actually got them (facepalm)

Chapter 210 The Legend of the Demon God

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on successfully slaying the god!" After the allied forces retreated, the soldiers of Uruk also came out of the city and gathered behind Jill to congratulate her.

"Godslayer? Not yet," Gil chuckled and turned to walk into the city.

"Those gods will not die completely as long as there is enough faith. To truly kill the gods, we need to completely destroy the temples in Kish City. Pass the word: we will set off in one hour. Target: Kish City."

"As ordered!"

After giving the orders, Jill walked up to the sphinx lying on the ground, kicked out with her right foot, sending the beast flying into the air before it fell back to the ground, causing the ground nearby to tremble again.

"Don't play dead for me, or do you really want to die!" Gil whispered a threat to the monster.

"Great King, thank you for your help." Under Jill's kick, the monster indeed stood up again, but dared not show the slightest ferocity. It lay down in front of Jill and said respectfully.

Once any wild beast reaches the ferocity level, it is no longer a wild beast but a magical beast. Human language is not difficult for them; it's just a matter of whether they want to learn it. The magical beast in front of us is clearly a magical beast that is proficient in human language.

“If you weren’t a lion, you would be dead by now. How dare you lay a hand on me?” Gil said expressionlessly to the lion-bodied monster. When he first saw this monster, its lion form suited Gil’s tastes. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of helping it break free from the god’s control.

As soon as the control was broken, the Sphinx attacked even more fiercely, making Jill feel an urge to kill it.

"I apologize for my mistake. My mind was not clear after being controlled. I made a mistake and I ask for your forgiveness, Your Majesty," the Sphinx said in a low voice.

It was originally the king of a nearby mountain range. If monsters had attributes, it would probably be considered lawful/neutral, not easily attacking humans, but also not refusing to retaliate when provoked.

As compensation, I'd like to tell you some news.

Jill nodded slightly, indicating that she could continue, but she had no expectations in her heart that a magical beast could bring her any useful information.

"The forest demon, Lababa, has awakened!" The lion-like beast's face already showed fear as soon as it began to say this; if Jill hadn't been there, it probably would have hidden itself immediately.

"Laubaba," Jill repeated to herself, a look of surprise and a hint of unknown anticipation on her face.

The myth of Lao Baba is something that most people in this era have probably heard of. It is a myth because it has been nearly a thousand years since it last appeared, and after that, no one in the world has seen its true face.

It is called the strongest monster in the world, and Gil knows better than most people what kind of existence it is.

Because Lugal was one of the few people in the world who had seen Raubaba's true form and returned alive. Jill still remembered the fear that unconsciously showed on her father's face when he, in his prime, fearless of the gods, mentioned Raubaba.

"Never even think about it. Stay as far away as possible. It's a taboo that no human can challenge. Even a god can't do anything about it." This is what Lugal told her. Gil was surprised that her father would say such cowardly words.

Lugal's discovery of Lababa was also a coincidence; before that, he wasn't even sure if such a magical beast as Lababa really existed.

During his time before becoming king, there was a rumor about a cave where a perpetually howling wind blew. Lugal, in the prime of his life, was naturally quite interested and went alone to find the cave. After several years, he finally found it: a cave in a vast forest, beneath a giant mountain, where the wind never stopped blowing.

As the greatest hero among humankind, after countless failures, Lugal successfully entered the cave and witnessed a terrifying truth.

An enormous monster slumbered inside, and the ceaseless gale was the air it exhaled while sleeping. Shocked, Lugal was once again blown away by the monster's breath, and then he chose to leave.

Upon further consideration, the monster was likely the legendary monster Lao Baba, and the mountain was formed from years of accumulated dust over hundreds of years. The oppressive feeling of facing it was far stronger than that of a god, and even Lugal lacked the confidence to face it again.

"Are you sure Raubaba has awakened?" Recalling the information she knew, Jill asked again to confirm. If he really had awakened, it would be troublesome. Once that guy started to riot, cities would be no different from paper in front of him. Legend has it that the gods once wanted to subdue him as a mount, but were killed instead. The name of the demon god spread from that time.

“Absolutely right. The mountain trembled and collapsed. The aura of a superior being emanated from it. Then the mountain completely cracked open, and a colossal creature awoke from within. I was only grazed and was severely injured. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been captured by those humans.” The lion-like beast’s voice trembled, and its body was somewhat unstable.

“Tell me where it is and you can leave,” Jill said gravely, continuing to ask the sphinx. A mere brush against it had severely injured it, while her previous attack with eighty percent of her power had only caused it minor damage…

"Your Majesty, although you are very strong, if I may be so disrespectful, you will definitely not be able to withstand three attacks from Lao Baba. It is best not to approach it." After telling Jill a place name, the lion-like monster advised him again. Although the human in front of him was very impolite, he had saved his life after all.

"I understand. You may leave now," Gil nodded irritably, letting the sphinx depart on its own.

That place is not close to Uruk, it can even be said to be very far away. Even if Lao Baba goes berserk, he will not threaten Uruk in the short term. But leaving it is still a hidden danger. He also understands that he can barely hope to fight a god who is above his level. As for magical beasts, forget it. Going there is obviously courting death, and a big death at that.

"Hopefully the teacher can find a way," Jill sighed, putting her thoughts aside for the time being.

The most urgent task is to capture Kish City and completely destroy Ashur's faith. After everything is resolved, we can go back and discuss with our teacher how to deal with Raubaba. There are also rumors that Raubaba is the guardian of the treasure and possesses the key to the Golden City, where all the world's treasures are hidden. If we can obtain it, it will surely be of great help to the gods.

Back in the city, Uruk's soldiers were making tense preparations and would be able to set off soon. Ashur was crippled and it would take at least ten years to recover, so it was a good time to take revenge for what happened back then.

Dealing with Lao Baba isn't urgent; we got through the year before last, so a few more days won't have a significant impact. (To be continued...)

Chapter 211 Enkidu's Change

Outside Uruk, Enkidu, with her green hair and androgynous appearance, returned to the city once more. Her white robes were as tattered as before, and her face was filled with endless confusion.

After Enkidu began to have doubts about his mission in Uruk, he decided to take Wu Feng's advice and go to other cities to see what cities with faith in gods would be like.

The result was far beyond her expectations; the other cities were like two completely different worlds compared to Uruk.

After several days of systematic learning with Wu Feng, some basic understandings have been imprinted in his mind. He can tell at a glance the difference in prosperity between the two cities. Even without any formal training, Enkidu can tell whether people are happy from their smiles.

The city they first visited wasn't exactly dilapidated, but the people's living standards were much lower. Enkidu could only see weariness and fear on their faces; they had almost no concept of happiness or joy.

As soon as she entered the city, she immediately attracted everyone's attention. Before long, soldiers came to her and told her that the king wanted to see her. Enki did not resist and went with them to see the king.

The king's eyes were filled with aggression and possessiveness. She didn't understand what they meant, but she found them repulsive. He wanted to do something to her as soon as they met. Disappointed, Enkidu forcibly drove out of the city, leaving permanent damage marks on the city walls.

Enkidu had considered that it might be a coincidence, how could a city ruled by a god be so wretched? But the cities she visited next disappointed her completely. People lived in oppression and suffering. Compared to them, Uruk seemed like an ideal capital.

Enkidu was somewhat confused as to why. Wandering aimlessly, she returned once more to the vicinity of Uruk. Looking at the familiar city, a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes; perhaps it could offer her the answer.

When Enkidu entered Uruk for the second time, the guards at the city gate had already received word and did not stop her, allowing her to enter the city easily.

The prosperous scene cheered Enkidu up considerably, and a smile appeared on his face as he walked along the familiar route. He arrived once again at the edge of the Moon Tower area, where he could see the outline of the exquisite pavilion, but not completely, as the view was obstructed in some places.

Unlike her first visit, it was only dawn, the sun just beginning to rise. A thin mist enveloped the area around the Moon Tower, and the morning light, filtering through the mist, strangely transformed into a pale red glow, illuminating the Moon Tower. Combined with the exquisite architecture, it was exceptionally beautiful and magnificent. Enkidu paused for a moment, but the part of her vision obscured her eyes, and for the first time, she felt a surge of annoyance.

After looking around at the surroundings, he keenly spotted a simple platform from which he should be able to see the entire Moon Tower.

Enkidu moved swiftly, arriving near the platform in a few moments. He leaped onto the platform and stood there. Looking around, the entire Moon Tower was right before his eyes. The thin mist, the exquisite pavilions, and the strange pale red light illuminating the tower made it exceptionally beautiful.

"Phew, finally caught up!" As Enkidu was admiring the view, a cheerful girl's voice came from behind. A girl struggled to climb onto the platform and stood beside her, looking at the Moon Tower together, her eyes filled with admiration and hope.

The strange scene at the Moon Tower quickly disappeared as the sun rose, returning the exquisite pavilion to its original state. The girl who had climbed up also noticed the people around her.

"Sister, you're so beautiful! Did you come all this way to see the Moon Tower too?" The girl was surprised to see Enkidu, and then greeted her in a very familiar manner.

"I searched for a long time before I found this location~ It is said that there is a barrier personally set up by the Holy Master in the Moon Tower. Every time the sun rises, there will be strange phenomena, but the time is very short. I only discovered it by chance~" The girl straightened her body and said to Enkidu with pride and joy.

Perhaps it was the girl's cheerfulness that moved her, for Enkidu's lips also curled into a smile. The words "Holy Master" also caught her attention slightly. Wasn't this the place where that person lived? Thinking of that person, a strange look appeared on Enkidu's face. It was the first time she had ever seen such a person.

"Holy Master?"

"Hmm, you must be from the outer city, right? There shouldn't be anyone here who doesn't know about the Holy Master," the girl said confidently as she sat down next to Enkidu, still looking in the direction of the Moon Tower.

Enkidu nodded, indicating his agreement with the girl.

“The Holy Master is the most powerful person in our city and the guardian deity of Uruk. Although Uruk was not bad back then, it was only slightly better than other places and was far from being as prosperous as it is now. It was only after the Holy Master came to the city that everything changed.” Enkidu’s tone of admiration became more and more obvious.

Uruk reforms, the promulgation of the legal code... the girl slowly told Enkidu about the changes Wu Feng made after arriving in Uruk.

Even the usually calm Enkidu's eyes sparkled after hearing this. Before, she only knew that he was very strong, but she never imagined that the changes in Uruk were all because of him.

"So, Uruk only gradually became what it is now after he arrived?" Even though he already knew the answer, Enkidu couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, although King Lugal and the new king also made indelible contributions, I still think the appearance of the Holy Master is the main reason," the girl continued, nodding affirmatively.

"The Holy Master is in that Moon Tower now. I really want to go in and see what the Holy Master looks like. I heard that even the gods can't compare to him. It's a pity that the Holy Master is too mysterious. He hasn't left the Moon Tower even once in several years. He only appeared once at the new king's succession ceremony, but I missed it... The sacrificial hall is the same. The carvings are so unclear..." As she spoke, the girl gradually became depressed. It seemed that she really wanted to go in.

"I've heard that Uruk is a city that doesn't believe in God. What if the gods punish us?" Enkidu asked with a sigh, thinking about his mission.
