That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

"Mother, was I really wrong?"

He still couldn't let it go.

hoohoo!

Kingu heard the roar of a beast behind him, chains wrapped around his right hand, and he squeezed out his last bit of magic to fight back.

After the chain blade pierced through the bodies of several magical beasts, Jingu looked up in astonishment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Magic light cannons rained down from the sky, indiscriminately bombarding the forest surrounding Jingu.

Kingu sensed the rage in the magical attack; the caster was not satisfied with merely driving away the magical beasts, but wanted to exterminate them all to quell the anger.

When it was all over, King Gilgamesh sat down with his back against the tree trunk, shaking his head and mocking himself: "To actually save your own enemy, how utterly foolish, King Gilgamesh."

King Gilgamesh descended from the sky, his expression cold and stern, and closed the large magic tablet in his hand: "Even if our hearts are different and our souls are different, your body is still the only Heavenly Chain on this earth. What is wrong with me saving my friend?"

“Friend?” Jingu smiled bitterly: “Are you pitying me? Pitying me for my current state, pitying me for being abandoned. In the end, what you care about is what this body used to be like.”

"So what? Is this matter that important? As long as you are still the Chains of Heaven, you will always be my friend. If you are unwilling to admit it, why do you still approach Uruk?"

Jingu muttered to himself in confusion, "Who knows? Maybe it's because of Enkidu's remaining memories, or maybe it's because he wants to experience what he once had. It's such a waste. I, who have never met Shanhant, cannot understand what is called a beautiful existence. It has no humanity and no true wisdom."

"Even so, you still came here, you came before me. Can't understand? The biggest difference between you and him is that you are more human, even though you both consider yourselves weapons."

"..."

Jin Gu was lost in thought.

King Gilgamesh approached King Gu and proudly declared: "If you still intend to stick to that old rhetoric, listen carefully. You once said that you were created to admonish me, and you succeeded. So I stand here, and now I bestow this favor upon my only friend. I give you humanity, I give you value, and I acknowledge your existence!"

King Gilgamesh's voice brought back more memories of Enkidu, and more emotions flowed into his body, shaping his humanity.

He vaguely heard King Gilgamesh say something.

"You want to admonish me?"

"It is the king's responsibility to build the civilization and future of this planet."

"You have value, you have unique value! I hereby swear that in this world, my dearest friend will forever be only one person! Only one person! This value will never change in the future, for all eternity!"

"Walking side by side, talking side by side, fighting side by side, this is neither human nor prop, but friend."

From meeting to acquaintance, from acquaintance to understanding what friendship is, to finally being separated by death.

Sadly, he didn't understand these things until the very end.

Jingu's face was pale, but he smiled from the bottom of his heart: "I see, I knew it would happen. I saw his memories. You are still the same as before, nothing has changed."

"Fool, do you finally understand?" King Gilgamesh smiled knowingly.

"I'm a little tired, Jill. Can you hold my hand one last time?"

King Gilgamesh grasped King's right hand and watched him fall into a deep sleep. The beautiful face that imitated the goddess Shanhanna returned to peace, and his body gradually became transparent, emitting a faint golden light.

The forest glowed together, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves, as if weaving a tender dream.

King Gilgamesh stood there until King Jingu's body disappeared, witnessing his friend's departure.

"The second time."

Farewell, my friend.

Whoosh~

King Gilgamesh's body vanished, leaving behind the gleaming Chains of Heaven in his hands.

Chapter 467 The Last Night

At the Uruk Palace, King Gilgamesh urgently summoned everyone.

He stood before the throne, his deep red eyes surveying the remaining Servants he had summoned, along with the Chaldea's fighting force. As for the two goddesses, bound by the contract of the Three Goddesses Alliance, they were basically useless in direct combat, so there was no need to summon them.

Everyone present was a rare warrior, a warrior recognized by the King of Heroes.

Two of the three goddesses in the alliance are no longer a threat, leaving only the monster goddess Gorgon, who threatens the north wall.

King Gilgamesh proclaimed loudly: "The time has come. Warriors gathered here, now only the goddess Gorgon, the goddess of monsters, remains of the Three Goddesses Alliance that threatens the survival of Uruk. I'm afraid they will launch an attack tomorrow. It will be a battle unlike any before, more cruel and fierce than ever before. Some of you will surely die because of it."

"However, this is not only for Uruk, but also for the survival of humanity. It is a battle to correct the order of humanity. I will not ask you such a foolish question as whether you have the courage. If you do not fight, you will perish. It is that simple."

Fujimaru Ritsuka stepped forward, raised her hand to signal, and after receiving permission from King Gilgamesh, asked, "King Gilgamesh, why is this happening so suddenly? Of course, we are not afraid of battle, but we want to know information to make a better judgment."

"Hmph, do you mean my judgment is wrong? What a foolish and audacious idea. I may tell you, though." King Gilgamesh said calmly, "Just now, the heart of the friend I bid farewell to for the second time, which is the Holy Grail of the Magic King, has been dug out. If there are no accidents, it has fallen into the hands of the goddess of vengeance, Gorgon. She does not possess the wisdom of forbearance; she was only summoned to seek revenge on humanity. Hmph, what will happen when a starving beast sees its prey?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka fell into thought: "Friend... um... no, is it Kingu?"

Ushiwakamaru asked, puzzled, "Would someone possessing the Magic King's Holy Grail be defeated so easily? Even if the opponent is the legendary monster Gorgon..."

Dr. Roman displayed a projection: "Gorgon, as a transformed monster, does indeed possess a god-level spirit origin, but based on the data collected previously, she should not be able to defeat Kingu, whose level surpasses hers and who also possesses the Magic King Grail."

Merlin held his staff in one hand and stroked his chin thoughtfully with the other.

King Gilgamesh said impatiently, "Further explanations are useless, which is why I disdain to explain. I'll leave the truth for you to uncover. Now, I'll give the order."

"Leonidas, you will lead all the soldiers to the North Wall, including the new recruits who are training and the city guards."

"As ordered."

"Niu Ruowan, you will lead an elite squad of soldiers to the forest on the flank of the battle line to wait. The battle will surely be fierce and the situation will change in an instant. You will have to judge the timing of the elite squad's entry. I have faith in your abilities."

"Yes, I will not fail in my duty to Your Majesty." Niu Ruowan knelt down to receive the order.

"Warriors from the observatory, you are responsible for guarding the main gate. This is a great responsibility that cannot be shirked. You can search for any materials you need in my treasury at any time. Make any requests now."

"understand!"

King Gilgamesh assigned strategic tasks to almost every follower, demanding their immediate execution.

Anna was the last one left in the palace.

"You should know why I specifically kept you here."

"Yes." Anna nodded gently.

King Gilgamesh scrutinized Anna and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"

"I was summoned here to destroy another version of myself."

"You inherited her rational side, but you still harbor the same hatred for humanity as she did."

Anna shook her head: "I've decided to help humanity. The residents of this city are all very kind, and Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others have been very good to me. I can't bear to watch them die."

King Gilgamesh extended his right hand, and golden light coalesced into the Holy Grail, which he tossed to Anna. "Hmph, take it."

"This is!?" Anna caught the Holy Grail with both hands, her eyes wide with surprise and confusion.

"You've seen the Great Cup of Uruk before, haven't you? Even in my treasury, there are treasures of a very high standard."

Why should I give it to you?

“It’s not for you. The Great Cup of Uruk has not belonged to me for months. I’m just borrowing it now to fulfill my promise to him and give you the Holy Grail of Uruk.”

"Could that person be Hall?"

"Go, use the power of the Holy Grail to protect what you don't want to lose. Your eyes still show hesitation. Saving humanity is not a matter that you absolutely must do. You will know the answer after you meet Gorgon."

"Yes, thank you very much."

······

Olga Marie wandered alone in the woods outside North Wall City, carefully watching her surroundings.

She is a magician, and after her soul materialized, her abilities are beyond those of an ordinary magician. She is roughly able to fight a defensive battle against a third-rate Servant. However, without any preparation, and in a forest environment that is favorable to magical beasts, she was unable to withstand even a small group of magical beasts.

Olga Marie received a call from Hall's familiar, which is why she came here.

She harbored resentment, even though she knew from Fujimaru Ritsuka that Hall must have encountered something in the Sixth Singularity to disappear. She had been worried about Hall every day for some time, and had several emotional breakdowns due to the pressure.

Despite the danger, she still came to the outskirts of Beibi City at this crucial moment, unable to hide her excitement and anticipation.

"Disappeared for so long!"

"He's far too arrogant! He must be taught a lesson this time!"

Olga Marie, who was talking to herself, sensed an eerie aura. She turned around abruptly and saw a pitch-black figure standing silently in the darkness. Its body was made up of black and red vertical stripes, like a human wearing a long robe, revealing eerie magical properties.

"This is an imaginary number!"

Olga Marie instantly understood what it was—imaginary projection.

It is a terrifying existence that even top-tier Servants find troublesome; it is neither a life form nor a spirit, but a phenomenon.

Olga Marie raised her hand without hesitation and fired several cursed bullets at it, but they were like hitting a bottomless abyss, completely useless.

Swish!

The darkness beneath the projection's feet instantly spread to Olga Marie's feet.

"Hall..."

She instinctively called out Hall's name as she fell into darkness, her heart filled only with the regret of not seeing Hall.

However, she did not discover the terrifying thing she had imagined.

As her body continued to fall into darkness, Olga Marie found herself still conscious.

This is impossible; any magician with common sense knows the consequences of being swallowed by imaginary space.

As Olga Marie felt something was amiss, her body emerged from the darkness and fell into Hall's hands.

Olga Marie timidly opened her eyes, and upon seeing Hall so close to her with a smile in his eyes, she immediately realized she had been tricked. Suppressing the urge to slap Hall, her smile concealed her anger: "Is this funny?"

“It’s very interesting. Just seeing you is very interesting.”

Olga Marie glared at Hall: "I almost thought I was going to die. I don't call being scared funny."

"Sorry, that thing is just a teleportation portal."
