Golden spears suddenly surged from the ground around him, stabbing straight toward Nameless Heroic Spirit.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Nameless Heroic Spirit's figure blurred. Holding [Ganjiang] and [Moye], he easily knocked the attacks back.
However, even more chains came rushing over.
They were densely packed, like a serpent monster with countless heads.
A strange longbow instantly materialized in Nameless Heroic Spirit's hands.
It was none other than the Noble Phantasm of Heracles, the Great Hero of Greek Mythology, who had slain the Hydra—
[Nine Lives!]
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As Nameless Heroic Spirit drew his bow and fired, nine arrows materialized at once, striking nine chains simultaneously.
Amid thunderous booms, the arrows and chains collapsed and vanished upon impact.
Nameless Heroic Spirit drew his bow and fired again.
Divine Weapon likewise summoned even more spears.
It had been born to restrain [Wedge of Heaven], connect heaven and earth, and make humanity worship the gods forever.
It possessed [Wisdom of Governance]. Like King of Heroes's [Gate of Babylon], it could summon endless spears and swords from the earth.
The two sides battled for a very, very long time.
In the end, neither could defeat the other, but a strange battle friendship was born.
"Your strength has earned my acknowledgment!"
With no emotion in its emerald eyes, Divine Weapon pressed both hands against Nameless Heroic Spirit's shoulders and said, "Please turn me into a true human!"
Pinned beneath it, Nameless Heroic Spirit smiled. "Of course. I'll give you a human heart. First, I'll name you [Enkidu]. From now on, I'll call you Little En."
"Enkidu? Little En? I like it!"
Divine Weapon nodded.
At that moment, it finally gained humanity and wisdom, transforming from a soulless clay doll.
Nameless Heroic Spirit's mana had been drained by Divine Weapon, so he lay on the ground and rested for a while.
A crowd of spectators watching the spectacle all found it strange—
[Why did I read that as "Please turn me into a real woman"? Did I somehow awaken King Crimson?]
[Enkidu doesn't seem to have a gender? Damn, I'm even more excited now!]
[In the Epic of Gilgamesh, King of Heroes and Enkidu also battled to a draw, acknowledged each other's strength, and became Dear Friends!]
[I get it now! Nameless Heroic Spirit first became Dear Friends with King of Heroes, then became Dear Friends with Enkidu, forming the most stable love triangle!]
[Emm, this reminds me of a certain question: If you had to lie between a gay man and a beautiful woman, who would you turn your back on?]
Wei Gong couldn't help smiling as he watched the scene on the screen.
When he first met Little En, she had been no different from a robot, moving only according to a fixed program.
But after he taught her again and again until dawn, she had finally developed human emotions—in other words, a "heart."
That sense of accomplishment was no different from raising a child.
Wei Gong turned to the troublesome child beside him. "Sigh, if only you were as gentle and obedient as Little En."
"Hmph! I'm such a cute Little Angel, and you're still dissatisfied?"
Luo Ya said righteously.
"A useless angel who keeps pulling out the World-Destroying Horn and trying to destroy the world?"
Wei Gong disliked her even more.
The Gabriel in the anime only talked about it.
But his own really was a world-destroying brat!
No, he needed to add several more chains around her. He absolutely couldn't let her true nature be exposed!
"I'm too lazy to deal with you!"
Luo Ya sprawled on the sofa, eating watermelon with a spoon while continuing to watch the video.
The most exciting scene had arrived.
King of Heroes finally reached the scene.
Standing in the distance, he happened to see Nameless Heroic Spirit lying on the ground, looking haggard.
Enkidu, meanwhile, looked like a flower that had been watered, brimming with vitality.
The stark contrast made King of Heroes draw his Strongest Noble Phantasm, Calamity Sword, without hesitation!
This Noble Phantasm possessed the terrifying power to "sever the world," and even he did not know its true name.
Gilgamesh said furiously, "A mere weapon forged by the gods dares provoke this king?"
Just as Nameless Heroic Spirit had said, in the eyes of the gods, he was merely a dog guarding their livestock.
The gods had forged a dog collar and wanted him to serve them forever!
What utter delusion!
"Wedge of Heaven, you have defied the gods' command. I shall correct you!"
The Divine Weapon Enkidu likewise instantly assumed a battle stance upon seeing the other party.
It was a Divine Weapon created around the concept of "returning the wedge to the gods"!
Its sole purpose in descending into the human world was to question and correct King of Heroes.
Countless golden chains appeared behind it.
King of Heroes likewise held Calamity Sword, intending to kill his opponent with a single strike.
Just as the two were about to begin their battle, Nameless Heroic Spirit finally opened his eyes. "Golden Flash? Little En, what are you two doing?"
"You bastard, you're still alive?" Gilgamesh froze for a moment.
"Get lost! Even if you died, I wouldn't!"
Nameless Heroic Spirit retorted irritably.
Then,
he got up and walked over to Enkidu. He reached out and stroked her green hair, as if comforting a kitten with its fur standing on end. "Little En, he's one of us. Don't fight him."
"My mission is to correct Wedge of Heaven and make it fulfill its duty!"
Enkidu answered expressionlessly.
"Exactly! Let's join forces and give this Chūnibyō Flash a personality-correction punch, so she becomes a little more normal!" Nameless Heroic Spirit said with an extremely pleased smile.
"Personality-correction punch? You want to discipline him together with me?"
Enkidu tilted her head slightly, confusion filling her jade-like eyes.
She had only just been given a name, and everything about humanity filled her with curiosity.
"Of course. I won't attack a friend—unless you pay me more!"
After replying, Nameless Heroic Spirit turned his gaze toward King of Heroes. "Little En won't attack you, and you don't attack her either. Wouldn't it be nice to have another friend?"
"Heh. This king doesn't need friends!"
Gilgamesh refused with extreme arrogance.
However,
although he verbally refused, he truly did not continue attacking.
The three returned to Uruk together...
[A triangle really is the most stable relationship!]
[Damn it, King of Heroes, why aren't you a girl if you're going to be this tsundere?]
[Sigh, Nameless Heroic Spirit's charm is getting stronger and stronger. He used to win over girls, and now even men and genderless beings can't resist his damn charm!]
[I'm so jealous! I'm devouring lemons like crazy!]
"Nameless Heroic Spirit... Enkidu..."
King of Heroes stared at the two familiar figures on the screen.
Countless forgotten memories surged back wildly, all scenes of the little moments they had shared.
There had been arguments, cooperation, and fighting side by side in rivers of blood...
What exactly had happened to make him forget that infuriating bastard?
At that moment,
the Captain of the Guard approached and said, "Great King, that Magician of Flowers, Merlin, wishes to discuss something with you."
"Oh? What is it?"
Gilgamesh lowered his gaze, looking uninterested.
"Please see for yourself."
The Captain of the Guard handed him a tablet computer.
Gilgamesh suddenly froze, remembering that Siduri had presented clay tablets to him in exactly this manner back then.
Time had flown by, and the people were gone.
There wasn't even a single familiar person left by his side...
Gilgamesh pulled his wandering thoughts back and reached out to take the tablet computer.
A message appeared on it—
[Esteemed King of Heroes, I am Merlin, the Magician of Flowers. Would you be interested in working together?]
"Oh? How does he wish to cooperate with this king?"
Gilgamesh casually replied.
That fellow had always hidden in the Endless Tower of Avalon, where even he found it difficult to locate him.
[I am deeply honored that you once praised me publicly, saying I would make a suitable subject of yours. Now, I wish to cooperate with King of Heroes and seek even greater pleasure!]
"A disgusting rat hiding its head and tail. You think you're worthy?"
Gilgamesh mocked him mercilessly.
"Er, I know it's an ambitious proposal, of course, but this concerns Nameless Heroic Spirit!"
Merlin, who was sitting before the computer, froze slightly.
Things seemed a little different from what he had expected.
The other party had previously praised his understanding of pleasure and said he was qualified to become his subject.
Why did he seem somewhat... hostile this time?
Merlin continued typing: "I plan to assist Mordred in traveling to Fusang in the Dragon Kingdom, find the Nameless Heroic Spirit who dared insult you, and put on another delightful show!"
[In Fusang of the Dragon Kingdom...? Very well. Rat crawling through the stinking gutter, I shall heed you this once.]
"Happy cooperation!"
Merlin smiled brilliantly, happier than ever.
Mordred had previously told him that Nameless Heroic Spirit should be in Fusang of the Dragon Kingdom.
Before you continue
