He Casually Stabbed the Chief God to Death?

A closer look made Anu's face turn livid, the veins at his temples bulging as though they were about to burst.

Crack!

In his fury, he crushed the armrest of his divine throne. Then he rose to his full, imposing height, and a terrifying aura erupted from him, sending a violent shock through the entire Divine Temple.

The whole Divine Temple shook violently, groaning as though it might collapse at any moment.

"You... you dare—"

They had killed his Bull of Heaven.

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

What an unforgivable sin.

"Wh-what's going on?"

"Lord Anu is angry?"

"Who provoked the Main God?"

The surrounding gods stared in shock toward the highest Divine Temple, from which an awful aura radiated, warping even the air.

Some of the weaker gods were so terrified by that aura that they froze in place, like frogs watched by a snake, not daring to move.

So who had angered the Main God of their pantheon? How long had it been since they had seen him this enraged?

Meanwhile, in the depths of another Divine Temple, suggestive sounds kept coming from a room.

The sudden outburst of divine wrath reached that place as well, instantly throwing those inside into a panic.

A seductive-looking goddess hurriedly ran out. It was Goddess Ishtar.

Though she did not know the exact reason for the Main God's anger, she quickly put an end to the debauchery.

When she reached the Main God's Divine Temple, she found that he was already gone. It seemed he had descended to the lower realm?

"Lord Anu hasn't descended to the Earthly World in centuries. Why did he suddenly go down there?"

"Did some foolish human provoke Lord Anu?"

"But if it was a human, how could they possibly make Lord Anu this furious?"

The gods began discussing it among themselves.

Then they headed for the Earthly World to see what exactly had happened.

At that moment, Sky God Anu had arrived above the Earthly World, his icy eyes looking down upon the City of Uruk.

Countless humans trembled beneath his divine might. Fear seemed to clutch their hearts, making them afraid even to breathe.

One after another, unable to bear the pressure, they began bending their knees to kneel.

"Who gave you permission to kneel without this king's leave?"

Though the voice was not loud, it seemed to reach every human in the city, stopping their bending legs.

The tone sounded calm, yet it contained an absolute command capable of opposing divine might.

It was as though 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. That filled him with both admiration and rage.

His lightning-filled gaze turned toward the King of Uruk seated upon his throne—Gilgamesh. In the face of his arrival, Gilgamesh showed not the slightest fear and casually bit into the chunk of meat in his hand.

What arrogance. What madness.

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

Could he not see the god displaying his power before him?

And yet he could still remain so composed?

"I am Anu, the Sky God!"

A divine voice that made the atmosphere tremble rang out. At the same time, he slightly raised the Divine Staff in his hand, and light shone from it, instantly dispersing the rolling black clouds that had covered the sky.

The stars that had lost their light began to shine again, forming a dazzling and beautiful night sky.

Yet that sky felt even more dangerous than the apocalyptic sight from before.

Looking closely, the glowing stars grew brighter and larger, giving the impression that the heavens were about to crash down upon the earth.

"King of Uruk Gilgamesh, do you know—"

"I don't!"

Before the Sky God could finish, an impatient voice interrupted him. The man seated on the throne twisted his neck and rose to his feet.

The corner of his mouth lifted into a sinister smile. The savage gleam in his crimson eyes seemed to eclipse the starlight above, making the stars dim as though avoiding their edge.

Then he said this.

"Can you get down here? This king is tired of looking up."

Silence—!

At that moment, it was as though time and space had stopped.

The world itself seemed stunned by the words, "Can you get down here? This king is tired of looking up."

Gulp—!

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

She felt that the sound of her swallow was exceptionally loud at that moment.

That sound seemed to catch the attention of the Main God of the Babylonian Pantheon. His eyes appeared to glance in their direction.

That single glance sent a chill down Goll's spine. It felt as though Death's hand had brushed across her back.

That Main God had likely already noticed them beyond time and space. Perhaps he suspected that they had done something to make King Gilgamesh so arrogant, so fearless.

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

Terrified, she could not help clutching Sister Brunhilde's clothes with her little hand.

She looked toward Sister Brunhilde as well. Sweat ran down her sister's lovely face too; she was clearly nervous.

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

Had killing the Bull of Heaven made his confidence swell too much? Did he believe that gods were nothing special?

If that was the case, then it was truly ignorant arrogance. The Bull of Heaven and Sky God Anu existed on entirely different levels.

Of course, Brunhilde did not believe that this king, so full of wisdom, was truly ignorant and overconfident.

This king must have some means of dealing with Sky God Anu.

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

Of course, if Gilgamesh truly lacked the strength to oppose the Sky God, he would never lower his pride. He would never submit to any being, no matter how powerful they were, even unto death. That was the pride of the Human King!

Then King Gilgamesh saw that Sky God Anu had no intention of coming down—naturally, he would never do such a thing.

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

It was a silver chain with wedges of different shapes attached to its two ends.

He appeared to be trying to throw the chain around Sky God Anu and bind him.

Faced with the chain flying toward him, Anu paid it no mind, merely watching with arrogant disdain.

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

It would probably be sent flying away before it even touched the god's body.

No, it would not merely be knocked away. It would be destroyed directly by the Divine Power leaking from him.

The instant it made contact, the chain would likely shatter into countless fragments like fragile pottery striking steel.

Thus, to the Sky God, this was nothing more than a laughable attack from an ant.

However, what he expected did not happen.

The chain was not destroyed by his leaking Divine Power. Rather, it seemed drawn in by that power and instantly wrapped around him, leaving him startled.

"It bound him?"

Brunhilde could not help staring in shock.

Could it be that Sky God Anu had deliberately allowed himself to be bound, merely to toy with Gilgamesh for a moment?

No, that was wrong, because she saw the stunned expression on Sky God Anu's face as well.

As though he had lost his Divine Power in an instant, Sky God Anu fell from the sky in free fall.

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

Normally, a god could not possibly die from such a fall. Divine Power protected their bodies, so nothing would happen to them.

Of course, even without strengthening their bodies with Divine Power, they would not die from a fall of that height. Still, the impact would cause pain.

"Can that chain seal a god's power?"

Watching this scene, Brunhilde muttered in renewed shock. Something capable of sealing a god's power?

The Main God of an entire pantheon had apparently been bound so completely that he could not resist. This was certainly no ordinary object. Was it a divine artifact?

And Sky God Anu happened to fall onto Gilgamesh's Altar, more than ten meters in front of Gilgamesh, shattering the stone floor beneath him.

Seeing Gilgamesh approach with a spear that looked as though it had been dyed red with blood, Anu frantically tried to break free from the chain. Yet the harder he struggled, the tighter it bound him.

Anu sensed the threat of death from that spear!

When Gilgamesh arrived beside him, he raised a chillingly sinister smile and lifted the Crimson Spear, which seemed to radiate an ominous aura.

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

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

The sharp spearhead pierced the Sky God's heart and stabbed into the ground.

Blood poured from his mouth. He tried to say something, but no sound came out. His body could only convulse again and again before finally falling still.

"Mm—!"

Goll nearly screamed, but she covered her little mouth tightly.

Her eyes widened so much they nearly popped out. She simply could not believe that a Main God had been killed so casually?

Could this Main God have deliberately created an illusion just to toy with King Gilgamesh?

Yet the pierced divine body did not disappear. Blood continued to flow, and the body gradually lost its warmth.

Had he truly been killed?

"He... he was killed just like that?"

Brunhilde's voice came out like a dream-struck murmur.

She had thought there would be an earth-shattering battle between man and god, yet it had ended in such a one-sided instant kill?

This had to be a joke, right?

It was as though King Gilgamesh were the god, while Sky God Anu were the human. Their identities and races seemed completely reversed.

That spear was no ordinary object either. Even if a human weapon could inflict some damage on a god's body, it still could not kill a god, especially not a god's soul.

But at that moment, it was obvious that even his divine soul had been slain.

As a Valkyrie, she could sense that Main God Anu's life had truly been completely extinguished by that single strike.

This Altar seemed as though it had been prepared specifically for Sky God Anu. It was his Land of Fallen Gods, and his scarlet divine blood stained the Altar red.

At that moment, Brunhilde began to tremble. She was afraid—afraid of this King of Uruk, Gilgamesh.

At the same time, she was excited. This was exactly the kind of person she had been looking for.

"Ahahahaha! Hehehehe! We hit the jackpot, Goll! If Gilgamesh takes the field, humanity has practically secured one victory!!!"

"S-Sister Brunhilde..."

Seeing her sister act as though she had gone mad made Goll deeply uneasy.
