[Holy crap, Nameless actually dared to insult the King of Heroes to his face?]
[Gilgamesh possesses the Bloodline of the King of Gods. Even when he was young, his strength was terrifying. He wasn't as weak as Joan or King Arthur were during the same period!]
[The modern King of Heroes is wise and virtuous. Why does this one feel so different from the one we know?]
[I think I understand why the Epic of Gilgamesh recorded the King of Heroes as a tyrant...]
[Good grief, Alaya's exposure is pretty intense this time. I wonder how the King of Heroes will react after watching the video!]
[Are they going to fight?]
Facing the King, who was seething with rage.
"I wasn't insulting you. I was just stating a fact!"
Nameless remained completely calm. "Your mother is a goddess, and your father is the King of Uruk. So you're neither a pure-blooded human nor a pure-blooded god. Am I wrong?"
"You mongrel... Who exactly are you?"
Gilgamesh glared at him furiously.
A mere ordinary human actually dared to insult him to his face. He could barely restrain himself from attacking.
The bloodline power of Anu, the King of Gods, surged into action, causing violent energy to churn around him.
Once it erupted, it would destroy everything nearby!
However.
Nameless didn't care about his anger at all. In an even more contemptuous tone, he rebuked him. "If you want to wear the crown, you must first bear its weight! You call yourself a king, yet you can't give your people a prosperous, happy life. Are you really fit to be king?"
The King of Heroes was already domineering enough.
Yet this Nameless Heroic Spirit was even more forceful than the King of Heroes, scolding him to his face sentence by sentence!
"You mongrel... I... This king..."
Gilgamesh had intended to rage and force him into submission.
But then he looked around.
Countless people were suffering from terrible hunger.
During this dreadful famine, everyone was terrified and uneasy, believing it to be punishment from the gods.
Their worship of him, their king, had completely vanished.
Every one of them was praying to the gods!
All of this proved that the other man's words were completely correct!
Nameless continued, "Why aren't you saying anything? Has the gods' punishment made you feel that you're unworthy of being king?"
"Are you a lackey of the gods?"
Suppressing endless fury, Gilgamesh forced the words through clenched teeth.
That was what he found most intolerable.
Countless subjects believed the gods considered him unfit to be king and had therefore punished them all.
An even more terrifying disaster was about to arrive!
"Hahaha, how could I possibly be a mere lackey of the gods?"
Nameless suddenly burst into loud laughter. "They aren't worthy! I have never worshiped the gods. I only believe that man can conquer nature!"
His red cloak fluttered wildly in the wind.
At that moment, his boundless arrogance was on full display.
[666, is this really the Nameless Heroic Spirit?]
[You're arrogant? I'm even more arrogant than you!]
[Good grief, this is the first time I've seen someone act so arrogantly in front of the King of Heroes!]
[I have to say, he just showed off again!]
"Did he really just insult him to his face?"
Luo Ya stood there with her mouth hanging open.
He had really gone too far!
The first person to insult the King of Heroes to his face had appeared!
What on earth would the King of Heroes, who was watching the video right now, be furious enough to do?
Gulp~
Luo Ya took a sip of ice-cold cola to calm herself. A bold thought surfaced in her mind.
"Could this be a video exposing the King of Heroes' Black History and publicly executing him?"
In the previous two videos,
in Vengeful Witch, Nameless had silently helped Joan the entire time, assisting her in subduing Orléans.
After Joan was sent to the stake, he had even turned to ash with her in the flames.
In The Perfect King, Nameless had clearly said he wouldn't become King Arthur's knight, yet he had continued eliminating every one of her enemies.
Especially Mordred—he came up with different ways to give her special treats every day. The delicious dishes had even made Luo Ya envious.
When King Arthur and Mordred had been displaying their father-daughter affection, he had even sacrificed himself to stop their quarrel.
But now!
Luo Ya looked at Nameless, who had started by trading insults with the King of Heroes.
Watching this video made her tremble with anger. Despite the blazing summer heat, cold sweat covered her body and her hands and feet felt icy. Could he stop treating people so differently?
When would men finally get to enjoy the same kind of care?
Unable to contain her curiosity, Luo Ya asked, "By the way, why is Nameless targeting the King of Heroes like this? Will the King of Heroes try to kill him after watching the video?"
"No." Wei Gong replied calmly.
"Why not? He insulted the King of Heroes to his face!"
Luo Ya became even more puzzled.
As long as Human History continued, these Heroic Spirits could continue to exist.
It had been a century since Gilgamesh descended into the modern era.
Yet this was the first time anyone had dared to insult him to his face!
"Just keep watching."
Wei Gong naturally wasn't going to tell the troublesome child the reason.
Before he had gone to Uruk during the Age of Gods, he had once stayed in another modern parallel world.
Chūnibyō Flash had done something so outrageous that it angered both gods and humans, and Wei Gong had been enraged enough to challenge him to a duel.
At the time, his strength hadn't been particularly great, and he had been brutally beaten by the other man.
In the end, he had managed a difficult reversal and killed him.
After going through something like that, it would have been miraculous if he could have treated the other man warmly when they met again. Yet by accident, he had discovered another side of the King of Heroes!
Wei Gong was certain.
Alaya would definitely release a whole series of related videos next.
When that happened, Golden Flash's expression would certainly be spectacular!
For some reason, he was looking forward to it a little.
Could this be the pleasure of exposing someone else's Black History?
Alaya, that heartless boss who forced her employees to work around the clock, you don't spend every day watching videos and enjoying the pleasure of exposing other people, do you?
At this thought, Wei Gong's mood became rather complicated.
One day, he would make that woman kneel before him and sing "Conquer"!
"The King of Heroes is furious! They're about to fight!" Luo Ya widened her eyes and watched the video in anticipation.
As a qualified spectator, the bigger the drama, the better!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
On the screen.
"You mongrel... How dare you speak of the gods like that?"
Gilgamesh, who had been consumed by rage and was about to unleash a thunderous strike, froze slightly when he heard those words.
Everyone worshiped the gods with fanatical devotion.
They regarded the famine as punishment from the gods.
They believed he needed to bow his head to the gods and beg their forgiveness!
That was something Gilgamesh could never do.
But now, this person had actually said, "I have never worshiped the gods. I only believe that man can conquer nature."
He was just as arrogant as Gilgamesh—arrogant to the extreme.
In fact, he was even more arrogant.
Even Gilgamesh himself had never been so certain that he could defeat the gods!
"In the eyes of the gods, humans are merely livestock kept in captivity. To manage this herd, the gods deliberately raised a dog."
Nameless gazed at him with a mocking smile. "The so-called Wedge of Heaven—what does this dog have to do with you?"
Under his questioning,
Gilgamesh's face turned livid.
His vermilion eyes were filled with endless killing intent.
Violent energy churned around him, crushing stones into powder.
Even though he was furious to the extreme, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and admit—
the other's analogy wasn't wrong!
To put it nicely, he was the Wedge of Heaven raised by the gods to restrain humanity.
He possessed the lofty status of being "two-thirds god and one-third human."
In reality,
the gods regarded humans as livestock kept in captivity.
To curb the humans who were multiplying excessively and growing too powerful, they had deliberately sent a goddess—in other words, his mother—to mate with the King of Uruk.
Thus, they had created a creature with the bloodlines of both gods and humans—
a sheepdog!
Gilgamesh knew this clearly, which was why he had hated and opposed the gods from the very beginning.
From the moment he was born, he had wanted to break free from the gods' control and become a free king!
Those words had completely plunged him into boundless rage!
Gilgamesh said furiously, "This king is already enraged beyond endurance. You utterly self-unaware mongrel, how do you want to die?"
However.
Faced with the furious King of Heroes, Nameless didn't retreat or lower his head in the slightest.
