The Bull of Heaven, as terrifying as the World-Ending Demon King, had been destroyed just like that!
Everyone found it somewhat unbelievable.
This was the terrifying punishment the gods had imposed on humanity, intending to annihilate mankind completely.
With a single stomp, the entire world had trembled.
Countless houses in Uruk had collapsed in an instant.
Hideous cracks had appeared across the ground.
Yet now, this invincible and terrifying divine beast had been slain by the combined efforts of three people!
On the screen,
the densely packed cheering comments had fallen into dead silence in an instant.
Everyone remained stunned for a long while before erupting into excited celebration—
[Good grief, it was slain just like that?]
[Awesome! King of Gods Anu had only just declared that the Bull of Heaven would punish humanity, and now it had been slain in return. That slap must have really hurt!]
[I thought this would be an incredibly difficult battle. I never expected the nameless trio to nearly kill it instantly!]
[Don't celebrate too soon. The gods are still watching from above!]
[We're doomed. This will definitely enrage the gods. No one can withstand them!]
Just as countless people had feared,
an even more terrifying divine punishment descended!
The magnificent figure of Anu, King of Gods, appeared before everyone's eyes for the first time.
He wore a dazzling crown, was clad in a resplendent golden robe, and held the divine staff that governed the Heavenly Realm.
All the gods stood behind him and began the final judgment of the humans who did not believe in the gods.
"I declare that you are guilty!"
The King of Gods spoke, and an irresistible might came crashing down.
Under his overwhelming pressure,
Nameless and Gilgamesh both felt as though they were carrying a mountain on their heads, as if they were about to kneel and prostrate themselves on the ground.
They could not breathe! They could not escape! They could not resist!
It was as if the entire age rejected them, as if all things were judging them.
This was the power of gods who controlled the laws of the world!
"This king is innocent!"
Gilgamesh gripped the Calamity Sword and stared coldly at him.
No matter how the other party invoked his authority and mobilized the entire world to suppress him, he could not make Gilgamesh bow his head and confess his guilt.
In an even more arrogant tone than the King of Gods, he said, "Between heaven and earth, I alone am the true king. Even you, the so-called King of Gods, are nothing more than a mongrel who stole the laws of the world!"
The moment these words were spoken, the gods instantly fell into a fury.
One after another, they coldly rebuked him—
"Gilgamesh, you are merely a dog we raised in captivity. You are courting your own destruction!"
"Sinner, you will suffer eternal punishment. You will personally watch your kingdom perish, and you will struggle in agony amid endless regret!"
"All your struggles are completely futile!"
The gods' surging voices echoed throughout heaven and earth.
All the mortals grew even more terrified and knelt on the ground.
Their faces were filled with despair.
To them, the gods were supreme. It was simply impossible to resist the gods.
"To have humanity retain its sanity forever is indeed an extravagant hope."
The King of Gods' grand voice resounded as he delivered the final judgment.
"Gilgamesh, because of your sins, you will destroy Uruk. Everything will be swept away by the flood!"
"Divine Weapon, you who are made of clay, return to clay once more!"
"Nameless, visitor from another spacetime, we will follow your causality to the spacetime you inhabit and destroy everything you possess!"
The gods began the true destruction of the world.
A surging flood appeared in their view, about to destroy all of Uruk!
That was not all.
Cracks also appeared across the body of the Divine Weapon who had fought alongside them.
Like a dried clay figurine, it was about to collapse and be destroyed!
Since the gods had created it, they could naturally destroy it as well!
Nameless held it in his arms. "Little En..."
"Nameless, don't grieve for me. I am grateful that you gave me a 'heart,' allowing me to truly live."
Radiance glittered in Enkidu's emerald-green eyes, and its smile was exceptionally captivating.
The weapon that had originally possessed no reason had become a true person under Nameless's influence.
It was happy.
It thoroughly enjoyed this experience of possessing a "heart."
Even though the time had been short, even though it wanted to continue enjoying it, even though there were still far too many things left undone,
it was enough.
This kind of life was too extravagant. Every minute and every second had been incomparably precious.
Enkidu broke free from Nameless's embrace and once again liberated its final form—
[O people of the world, bind the gods with chains (Enuma Elish)!]
Brilliant golden chains rose from the ground and reached straight into the heavens.
Using these chains, it linked heaven and earth together.
This was its true form: locking the Heavenly Realm and the human world together, never allowing them to part!
"Nameless, it's time to act according to the plan. The weapon's loss does not count as a failure. We will ultimately achieve victory!"
Enkidu's smile grew even brighter. "Come. Cut me down!"
"Little En..."
Nameless let out a heavy sigh and stretched his hand toward the king beside him. "Golden Flash, lend me the Calamity Sword."
"But I refuse! I, Gilgamesh, love saying no to self-righteous people like you!"
Gilgamesh snorted coldly without hesitation. "The king will bear everything. You two bastards, stay put!"
His expression became incomparably furious, as though he had suffered the greatest possible insult.
As the proudest king, how could he tolerate letting others bear these costs?
However,
Nameless did not care about his anger at all. "As the king, you will obediently bear the entire world and everyone's future. Don't even think about escaping! Do you want me, this bastard, to handle all the troublesome management for you?"
Nameless strode to his side and reached out to snatch away the Calamity Sword.
"You really are a bastard!"
The King of Heroes wanted to reach out and stop him, but he lowered his hand all the same.
He was the king. He bore the entire world, as well as the future entrusted to him by his two Dear Friends!
Above the heavens,
the gods suddenly fell into panic one after another.
At this moment, they finally realized what the other party intended to do!
"Lowly ants, stop at once!"
Those bastards intended to sever the link between the Heavenly Realm and the human world completely!
Several thousand years ago, a terrifying existence from beyond the world had descended, and the Age of Gods had begun to fade.
The Heavenly Realm where the gods dwelled and the world where humanity lived had begun to separate at an accelerated pace.
The gods had created the [Wedge of Heaven] as an anchor.
They had used the [Enkidu] as an anchor chain, hoping to lock heaven and earth together.
However,
the Wedge of Heaven and Enkidu had both slipped out of their control.
Only then had the gods decided to destroy humanity completely and cultivate obedient anchors and chains anew!
Now, these people actually intended to sever the Human-God Connection themselves!
"I know I can't win, but I have to stand here. If even the last hope is abandoned, who else can defeat the gods?"
Nameless held the Calamity Sword and looked up at the gods in the sky. "This strike will sever the Human-God Connection! This is my final—"
[The Star of Creation that Divides Heaven and Earth (Enuma Elish)!]
Unlike when the King of Heroes used it,
this time, he directly transformed himself into the strongest fuel, completely unleashing this Noble Phantasm that possessed the power to cleave the world apart.
With it, he would truly cut the world in two!
Nameless raised his sword and slashed toward the heavens. "Arrogant gods, accept humanity's final resistance!"
His entire body began to burn, transforming into a dazzling little golden sun that illuminated the world shrouded in the gods' shadows.
A brilliant pillar of light surged along the golden chains and shot straight into the heavens.
Crack—
The golden chains broke!
Crack—
The final link between the Heavenly Realm and the human world broke!
With a single strike, the Human-God Connection was severed, and the Way to Heaven was cut off from the earth!
From that day onward, heaven and earth, gods and humans, each remained in their own world, without interfering with one another!
The gods fell into complete chaos.
This meant that the gods would no longer be able to interfere in the human world. They had been completely isolated!
"Lowly ant, stop!"
"Bastard, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
