Multiverse: Ragnarok's Beginning - The Hero King's Path

A closer look made Anu's face turn black as pitch, veins bulging at his temples, looking like they might burst.

Crack!

In his fury, he crushed the armrest of his divine throne, then rose to his full, towering stature. A terrifying aura erupted explosively, sending a violent shockwave through the entire Divine Temple.

The whole temple trembled violently, groaning as if it might collapse at any moment.

"How—how dare you—"

They had killed his Heavenly Bull.

Mere humans had slaughtered Gugalanna and even cooked and eaten it!!!

What an unforgivable sin.

"What... what is this?"

"Lord Anu is angry?"

"Who dared to provoke the Main God!"

The surrounding gods all stared in shock toward the highest temple, where an aura so fearsome it warped the air radiated outward.

Some of the weaker gods froze on the spot under that pressure, like frogs pinned by a snake's gaze, not daring to move.

So, who had angered their pantheon's Main God? How long had it been since they'd seen such rage?

Meanwhile, at a certain temple, sounds that invited wild imaginings kept drifting from the deepest room.

Then the sudden divine wrath swept over, instantly throwing those inside into panic.

A goddess who looked extremely seductive rushed out in a fluster—that was the Goddess Ishtar.

Though she didn't know the exact cause of the Main God's fury, she quickly ended her debauched situation.

When she arrived at the Main God's temple, she found he was already gone—had he descended to the lower world?

"Lord Anu hasn't descended in years—why suddenly go to the Earthly World?"

"Which foolish human angered Lord Anu?"

"But if it's a human... how could they make Lord Anu this furious?"

The gods buzzed with discussion.

Then they too headed to the Earthly World to see what had actually happened.

At that moment, having arrived above the Earthly World, the Sky God Anu gazed down at the City of Uruk with icy eyes.

Countless humans trembled beneath his divine might, fear gripping their hearts like a vice, not even daring to breathe.

One by one, unable to bear the pressure, they began to bend their knees as if to kneel.

"Without this King's permission, who allowed you to kneel?"

A voice not particularly loud yet seeming to reach the ears of every human in the city halted their bending legs.

The tone sounded plain, but it carried an absolute command that could oppose divine might.

As if that voice had given the people of Uruk courage, the fear on their faces gradually faded, replaced by resolute bravery.

One by one, they dared to look directly at him, the Main God—a sight that made him both admire and rage.

His lightning-crackling eyes turned to the King of Uruk seated on his throne—Gilgamesh. Facing his arrival, Gilgamesh showed no fear, casually tearing at a chunk of meat in his hands as if nothing was wrong.

What arrogance. What insolence.

Did he not know what a god was? Was he too ignorant?

Could he not see the power the god was displaying right before him?

And still maintain such composure?

"I am the Sky God, Anu!"

A divine voice that made the very atmosphere tremble rang out. At the same time, he slightly raised his Divine Staff. Light shone from it, and the rolling black clouds that had blotted out the sky instantly scattered.

The stars, which had lost their light, began to shine again, revealing a brilliant and beautiful night sky.

Yet this night sky felt even more dangerous than the apocalyptic scene just moments ago.

Look closely at those glowing stars—they grew brighter, larger, as if the very firmament was about to crash down upon the earth.

"King of Uruk, Gilgamesh, do you know—"

"I don't!"

Before the Sky God could finish, he was cut off by an impatient voice. The man seated on the throne twisted his neck and stood up.

He curled his lips into a sinister smirk, and the fierce light in his crimson eyes seemed to outshine the starlight above, forcing the stars' radiance to dim as if avoiding his edge.

Then he spoke these words.

"Can you get down here? This King's neck is sore from looking up."

Chapter 011—Killed the Main God with a Single, Casual Stab?

Silence—!

At this moment, the world's time and space seemed to freeze.

The world itself appeared stunned into stillness by that line—"Can you get down here? This King's neck is sore from looking up."

Gulp—!

The sound of swallowing came from a young girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old. She was the Valkyries' youngest sister, Goll.

She felt that the sound of her own swallowing was abnormally loud in this moment.

That swallowing sound seemed to catch the attention of the Babylonian Pantheon's Main God as well, whose gaze appeared to flicker in their direction.

Just that one glance sent a chill down Goll's spine. She felt as if the hand of Death had lightly brushed her back.

That Main God had likely already noticed them outside of time and space, and might be suspecting that they were somehow behind King Gilgamesh's arrogance and fearlessness.

And so, the Sky God Anu laughed. His laughter made the very atmosphere tremble, and it soaked Goll's clothes with cold sweat.

Terrified, she couldn't help but grab tightly at Sister Brunhilde's clothes.

She also looked toward Sister Brunhilde. At this moment, cold sweat was also trickling down her sister's delicate face—clearly, she was tense too.

"Is this arrogance born of ignorance, or is it simply your nature to be so unruly, never lowering your proud gaze no matter what you face?"

Was it because killing the Bull of Heaven had inflated his confidence to the point of believing gods were nothing special?

If so, then this was truly the arrogance of ignorance. The Bull of Heaven and the Sky God Anu were beings on completely different levels.

Of course, Brunhilde didn't believe this wise king was truly that ignorant or arrogant.

This king must have some method for dealing with the Sky God Anu.

But what method could possibly kill the Sky God Anu? No matter how Brunhilde thought about it, she couldn't guess.

Of course, even if Gilgamesh truly had no power to contend with the Sky God, he would never lower his pride or his dignity. He would never yield to any existence, no matter how strong—that was his pride as the Human King.

Then, King Gilgamesh saw that the Sky God Anu had no intention of coming down—which was never going to happen anyway.

So Gilgamesh flung a chain toward the Sky God Anu in the sky.

It was a silver chain, with differently shaped wedges tied at both ends.

He seemed to be trying to throw this chain at the Sky God Anu to bind him up.

Facing the flying chain, Anu didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he watched with an arrogant and contemptuous gaze.

At this distance, even if Gilgamesh could throw the chain that far, what could it do?

It would probably be deflected before even touching his divine body.

No, not deflected—it would be destroyed outright by his leaking Divine Power.

The moment it touched, the chain would shatter into countless pieces like fragile ceramic hitting steel.

So, in the Sky God's eyes, this was nothing more than an ant's laughable attack.

However, what he imagined didn't happen.

The chain wasn't destroyed by his leaking Divine Power. On the contrary, it was drawn in by his Divine Power and instantly coiled around him, catching him off guard.

"It's bound?"

Brunhilde couldn't help but be stunned.

Could it be that the Sky God Anu let himself be bound on purpose, just to toy with Gilgamesh a little?

No, that wasn't right—because she saw the Sky God Anu also wore a stunned expression.

It was as if he had suddenly lost his Divine Power. The Sky God Anu simply fell from the sky in free fall.

With a heavy thud, he crashed hard into the ground, letting out a muffled groan of pain.

Normally, a god couldn't die from falling—their Divine Power protected their bodies, so nothing would happen.

Of course, even without using Divine Power to strengthen his body, he still couldn't die from such a height. But the impact would still cause pain.

"That chain can seal a god's power?"

Witnessing this, Brunhilde muttered in shock again. Something that could seal a god?

As a Main God of a pantheon, he seemed unable to resist being locked down. This thing was clearly no ordinary object—it was a divine artifact, wasn't it?

The fallen Sky God Anu landed right on Gilgamesh's altar platform, just over ten meters in front of Gilgamesh, smashing the stone floor to pieces.

Gilgamesh, holding a long spear that looked stained with blood, walked toward the Sky God Anu, who was frantically trying to break free from the chains. But the more he struggled, the tighter the chains seemed to bind him.

Anu felt the threat of death from that spear!

When Gilgamesh reached his side, he curled his lips into a chillingly sinister smile and raised the crimson spear in his hand, which seemed to radiate an ominous aura.

"Do you think this spear can pierce your body?"

Gilgamesh said this, but even before he finished speaking, he had already driven the spear down fiercely.

The sharp spearhead pierced straight through the Sky God's heart and embedded itself into the ground.

Blood gushed from Anu's mouth. He tried to say something, but no words came out. His body could only twitch continuously before finally going still.

"Ugh—!"

Goll, who had nearly screamed, clamped her hands tightly over her mouth.

She stared with eyes that seemed ready to pop out, utterly unable to believe that a Main God had been killed so casually.

Could this be an illusion created by the Main God, just toying with King Gilgamesh?

Yet the pierced divine body did not vanish; blood continued to flow, and the body was losing warmth.

Had he truly been killed?

"T-to think he was killed just like that?"

Brunhilde's voice came out like a sleep-talker's murmur.

She had expected an earth-shattering battle between man and god, but instead it ended in such an overwhelming instant kill?

Was this a joke?

It was as if King Gilgamesh were the god, and the Sky God Anu the human, their identities and races completely reversed.

That spear was no ordinary weapon either—even if a human's tool could inflict some damage on a god's body, it still couldn't kill a god, especially a god's soul.

But, but in this moment, it was clear that the divine soul had also been slain.

As a Valkyrie, she could sense that the Main God Anu's life had truly been ended by that single thrust.

This altar seemed specially prepared for the Sky God, his Land of Fallen Gods, its crimson divine blood staining the platform.

At this moment, Brunhilde trembled—she feared this King of Uruk, Gilgamesh.

At the same time, she was excited; this was exactly the kind of person she was looking for.

"Hahahaha, hehehehe, we hit the jackpot, Goll! With Gilgamesh on the field, humanity almost has one round secured!!!"

"B-Brun, Sister Brunhilde..."

Seeing her sister lose herself like this made Goll deeply uneasy.
