Chat group, if you have anything to say to my Holy Sword,

Looking at the fully automated engineering project of the entire underworld, Ereshkigal was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

She turned to look at Luo Tianyi, who had just said a few words: "Thank you all for your trouble."

As a result, the entire underworld mobilized to act on their behalf.

Just as Ereshkigal was pondering how the other party had managed to do it, Luo Tianyi's voice reached her ears.

"At this pace, is it possible to complete it within two days?"

Ereshkigal looked at the automated, engineered underworld, made a brief estimate, and finally nodded affirmatively, "Two days...that's definitely enough!"

"That's good!" Luo Tianyi patted her chest, her face beaming with joy.

Although she had used up a lot of mental energy, she could hold on!

When everyone learned that Luo Tianyi would be able to complete the expansion of the Underworld in just two days, a look of relief finally appeared on their faces.

However, at this very moment—

“Report——!!!”

A soldier stumbled in, pale-faced and his voice trembling: "Your Majesty! Kim... Kim Gyu is here!"

The air suddenly solidified.

Gilgamesh's eyes sharpened instantly.

"...Has it finally arrived?"

......

Jingu hovered high in the sky, his hair fluttering slightly in the wind, his eyes looking down at the barrier outside Uruk City, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"I see... No wonder there were so few human casualties, they're all hiding here?" His voice was soft, yet it carried a chilling coldness.

He slowly raised his hand, magic gathering in his palm, aiming at the city below—however, before he could make a move, a blazing beam of light suddenly shot out from the city!

Jin Gu instantly dodged to the right, the beam of light grazing his clothes before exploding into a blinding burst of fire in the distant sky.

Jin Gu steadied himself, his gaze turning cold as he looked toward the direction from which the attack had come.

But when his gaze fell on the person at the very front, a strange feeling suddenly stirred deep within him.

{Gilgamesh.......}

He frowned slightly, quickly suppressing the inexplicable emotion, and a playful smile reappeared on his shrewd face: "Yo~ we meet again, everyone, how have you been?"

"What are you doing here, Kingu?" Gilgamesh said calmly from the highest point of the city wall.

Jingu spread his hands, his smile both bright and cold: "Of course—"

"—I will bring you destruction!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly split into two—one, two, ten, a hundred… In the blink of an eye, countless golden figures appeared in the sky! They were all different in posture, but all wore the same smile, looking down at the people of Uruk.

“Wh…what?!” Dr. Roman’s voice came through the communicator, filled with disbelief and shock. “Judging from the Spirit Origin reactions, these are all Kingu himself! Not illusions, not clones, but the real ‘Kingu’!”

"Hey, this is ridiculous!" Ishtar swallowed hard, her mouth full of saliva! What... what kind of horror story is this?!

"Ah!" Jingu's true form tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on Kevin, and his smile deepened: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have returned to my mother's embrace so quickly."

"And now..."

Jin Gu slowly raised his hand and gently waved it.

"—Destroy this place."

In an instant, all the metal objects moved simultaneously!

"Whoosh—!" Countless chains of heaven burst forth from the void, coiling around Uruk like giant pythons. The chains intertwined into a massive net that blotted out the sky, instantly enveloping the entire city! The soldiers on the city walls turned pale, some even collapsing to the ground, staring at the sky in despair.

"Hey, hey, I can't withstand this!" the Faded One shouted anxiously. With an attack of this magnitude, let alone one city, even ten cities would be wiped out!

Just as the chains were about to crush the city wall—

"Hear my command!" Gilgamesh's voice boomed like thunder in everyone's ears.

"All cannons unlocked! Raise your bows and arrows, I grant permission! Let the might of Uruk be displayed in its defense! Our resolve permeates the earth!"

There were no grand speeches, no blustering threats, but this brief declaration of counterattack rekindled the flames in the eyes of the soldiers who were on the verge of collapse.

"Ohhh!!"

A deafening battle cry erupted from all parts of the city wall. The soldiers who had been slumped up stood up, and one cannon after another extended from the city wall, aimed at the sky, the muzzles gleaming with a dangerous light.

"Fire!!!"

The next second, the world was engulfed in light.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!"

Tens of thousands of magical projectiles traced dazzling trajectories, exploding into countless flowers of light on the giant chain net. The shockwave from the explosions caused the entire earth to tremble.

The defenses provided by the Faded Ones were operating at full speed.

"Keep firing! Don't stop!" Gilgamesh's roar pierced through the explosions. "Let these imposters witness the will of us!"

Looking at the barrage of artillery fire, Kevin said softly, "Did you see that?"

"I can see it clearly." Remian's pupils pierced through countless chains, reaching straight to a figure.

A black sword imbued with the concept of death appeared in Kevin's hands.

Remy pointed in one direction.

At this moment, Kevin's vision synchronized with Remian's!

He saw it!

Kingu looked at Kevin, who had broken through countless chains to stand before him, with a broad smile.

"I should be the one telling you that."

"Jin Gu!"

I have brought you destruction!

"Heh, if you can do it, then give it a try, human!"

"Something terrible has happened, Ritsuka!" Hearing Roman's anxious voice from the castle wall, Fujimaru Ritsuka hurriedly asked, "What happened, Doctor!"

"Tiamat, she's moving, and very fast! She's expected to arrive in Uruk in no more than half a day! Maybe even sooner!"

Above the sea, countless chains entangle Tiamat, and at the end of those chains lies Jingu, born from countless pools of black mud!

At this moment, they were like kites, pulling Tiamat along as they headed towards Uruk!

It was already close to dusk...

Chapter Ninety-Five: Dragon Lord Dan Heng and Kevin: I am the rising sun

Fujimaru Ritsuka told everyone what she had heard, and upon hearing the news, even the people in the chat group fell silent.

Within half a day, the goddess of creation would descend upon Uruk, completely disrupting their plans.

Even if Luo Tianyi disregards the depletion of her mental energy and accelerates the expansion of the Underworld, it will still take at least a day.

It seems like things are going well. As long as Kevin goes to stop Tiamat, everything will be fine. But... is it really that simple?

Even if those bred Jin Gu are not as strong as the original, they are not just any ordinary soldiers.

Countless Kings have unleashed the Chains of Heaven in an attempt to shatter the city of Uruk. Currently, Gilgamesh's King's Cannon, the Faded Ones' barrier, and the attacks of several divine spirits are temporarily holding back the chains. However, as time goes by, the chains are beginning to get closer. If this continues, the destruction of Uruk is only a matter of time.

The others, including Houraiji Kusho, Elena, and the other Servants, were unable to stop the chains because their power was insufficient to join the battle; they could only stand on the city wall and watch it all unfold.

In the public eye, with Remian's guidance, Kevin navigated through countless chains of heaven, attempting to plunge the black sword into Kingu's body and bring him to death. However, Kingu was not weak, and countless reproductive beings blocked his path, hindering Kevin's approach and relentlessly attacking him.

This caused Kevin's decapitation plan to fail, and instead gave the enemy time to delay, while Tiamat was still getting closer.

With a single swing of his sword, he transformed into a blazing inferno, instantly obliterating the surrounding golden cogs. However, these were merely reproductive forms. Surrounded by countless reproductive forms, the golden cogs gazed at Kevin with gentle smiles.

However, his gentle smile now seemed more like disdain.

"Give up, you can't bring me death, ah, of course."

Jingu's smile widened. "If you can unleash that attack again, you can definitely destroy me once more, but..."

His gaze fell upon Uruk below.

"That would save me a lot of trouble, since you're really strong."

The relentless blazing sun exploded in the sky once again.

It instantly turned a region of gold solid into ashes, but it was useless and had no effect whatsoever. More and more gold solid was continuously emerging from the main body.

"How pitiful!"

Jingu's expression was no longer a smile, but a mocking one.

"Despite possessing immense strength, they are constrained and hesitant."

"If you had chosen to take the plunge, perhaps you really could have killed me. What a pity, what a pity."

Jin Gu was somewhat certain that there must have been some special conditions that enabled the other party to unleash that level of power.

It instantly killed three of them, which were approaching its own reproductive form.

Kevin sneered, his voice laced with disdain. "How pathetic, Jingu."

This seemingly casual remark pierced Jin Gu's mind, instantly freezing his composed smile and causing his brows to furrow deeply. "...Has he finally gone mad? He's starting to ramble on!"

As if wanting to hear what Kevin had to say next, the reproductive creatures stopped their attack and silently surrounded him.

Kevin looked at Jingu with pity in his eyes, which made Jingu frown even more.

Kevin pointed his sword at the Rahmu outside Uruk city, who were still frantically attacking the barrier. "You keep saying they are your brothers and sisters, but when you send them to their deaths, you don't show any sadness."

"...So what? Their glory lies in sacrificing themselves for the new era."

“Glory?” Kevin scoffed, as if he had heard the most absurd joke. “You… have you even spoken with them? Given your status?”

Before Jingu could answer, Kevin continued, "No, right?"

"Have you tried to understand their thoughts?"

"no?"

“Looking down at them from your high vantage point, tell me, Jingu.”

"What are they in your eyes? A new kind of human?"

Kevin suddenly swung his sword: "No!"

"In your eyes, they probably don't even qualify as useful tools! They're just... cheap consumables that you can throw away at will!"

"What exactly are you trying to say?!" Jin Gu could no longer maintain his feigned gentle demeanor and questioned angrily.

Kevin's voice, however, softened strangely at this moment, even carrying a hint of... sympathy?

"What I wanted to say was, Jingu..."

"You...don't have any friends, right?"

"Jingu, you don't have any friends, do you?"

These last few words, like an echoing curse, swelled, roared, and reverberated endlessly in Jingu's mind!

Friends? Friends...? What are those? Fragile lies woven by the old humans to keep each other warm?

A concept that... has never appeared in his core logic? Why does this word make him feel so... agitated? So... bewildered?

Jingu's facial muscles twitched stiffly as he tried to force a smile, but the curve of his lips looked so distorted and forced: "This...this is a meaningless emotional bond that only you old humans, destined to be eliminated, need! I...I don't need it!"

Kevin's response to Jingu's self-explanation was...

"Ah"

That soft laugh was like the last straw that broke the camel's back! The string of reason in Jin Gu's mind snapped completely!

"Shut up! Die!!!" Jingu let out an unprecedented shriek!

In an instant, the countless Jingu replicas surrounding Kevin ceased to be humanoid! They transformed themselves, undergoing ecological changes and fusion, like boiling black asphalt! This was precisely the ability Jingu gained after merging with the Sea of ​​Life! The viscous black matter frantically converged, fused, and expanded! A black mountain range, formed by the dissolution and construction of countless replicas, rose from the ground before Kevin!
