Earlier, when the school asked students to recommend representatives to participate in receiving the Heroic Spirits, he had recommended this best friend without hesitation.
He had even given his own candidate spot directly to him.
As for the qualification to receive the Heroic Spirits, he genuinely didn't care about it at all.
"What is it?"
Wei Gong was slightly stunned.
It was one thing for Ilya the Little Angel to say she wanted to give him a surprise earlier, but why the hell did a man want to give him one too?
"You'll know later."
Julian pushed up his glasses, looking mysterious.
Although he was just an ordinary person, he always remained calm in front of everyone.
Wei Gong was really looking forward to seeing the other man's moved, tearfully grateful expression after learning the truth, and how he would willingly go through fire and water for him!
"Tch, forget it if you're not going to tell me!"
Wei Gong grew even more speechless.
He had encountered two people in one day who said they wanted to surprise him. Had they discussed this beforehand?
Forget it. It probably wasn't anything important. At most, they would give him some gifts or something.
At that moment, he saw another familiar classmate, Tohsaka Rin.
She had an icy expression and the full bearing of an aristocratic young lady.
Her beautiful legs, wrapped in black stockings, attracted countless eyes as usual.
If he hadn't seen her embarrassed state while buying groceries at the supermarket earlier, Wei Gong might have been fooled by that appearance too.
Even a young lady's family could run out of food!
Huh? Why was she walking toward him?
Wei Gong was a little surprised. He waved and greeted her. "Yo, Miss Rin. Good morning~"
"Good morning."
Tohsaka Rin revealed a standard young-lady smile, though it looked a little stiff.
After watching the video of The Oldest King, she had seen that Ishtar looked exactly like her, while Nameless also somewhat resembled the boy in front of her.
This made her feel as if she had confessed to him!
And then been rejected without mercy, with him even claiming that she was just a monkey.
However.
Whenever Tohsaka Rin dreamed at night, he appeared in her dreams with increasing frequency.
Sometimes, he was repeatedly practicing the high jump on the athletic field.
Sometimes, he sat on a chair and looked at her with a face full of smiles.
Sometimes, he lay beside her on the grass, shoulder to shoulder with her in an intimate manner, and so on.
Each scene seemed incredibly real—so real that she could remember every detail clearly after waking up.
Good heavens!
This was too strange. Could she have been cursed?
Tohsaka Rin decided to grant him an enormous favor and completely escape this bizarre state.
She looked at him seriously. "I owed you a favor before. I'll repay you soon."
"Uh, there's no need to be so polite."
Wei Gong hurriedly waved his hands and refused.
Was it really necessary to be so polite over a few discount coupons?
"Hmph. You can refuse, but I can't not give it to you. Just wait for the surprise this young lady is going to give you!"
Tohsaka Rin gave a light snort and left with deliberately haughty strides.
Her heart had already begun beating faster.
If she stayed any longer, something would go wrong sooner or later.
Wei Gong was completely baffled.
What exactly was this young lady being tsundere about?
Could it be that, because she looked exactly like Ishtar, she felt embarrassed and shy?
Even as he walked along, he could clearly hear many people looking at Tohsaka Rin and whispering things like, "She really looks the same," and "She's the reincarnation of a goddess."
Wei Gong silently apologized in his heart.
Sorry. This really isn't my fault. If you want to blame someone, go blame that bastard Alaya.
If that guy hadn't exposed things again and again, so many incidents wouldn't have happened.
"So why do all three of them want to surprise me? You really didn't discuss this beforehand?"
Wei Gong's feelings were extremely complicated.
One person would be fine, and two would be manageable, but with three people, it became a case of three people making a tiger!
He had an ominous feeling that a storm was about to arrive!
Ding-dong~
Wei Gong felt his phone vibrate lightly. He took it out and glanced at it—
[The Uploader you follow has updated. Come take a look!]
"Holy crap, speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives. It's only been a day!"
Wei Gong felt that his peaceful daily life was about to be completely destroyed by that black-hearted bastard of a boss.
Do you really want me to become a tool again?
Good heavens, couldn't you stop squeezing the same person dry and switch to someone else?
Let's see what kind of exposure video it is—
[The Oldest King Extra Story—Flower of the Underworld]
[This Extra Story is told from the perspective of the Underworld Goddess Ereshkigal, recounting what happened after Nameless severed the Human-God Connection!]
After returning to the classroom.
Wei Gong saw that everyone had taken out their phones and was staring intently at the screens.
Ring-ring-ring~
The class bell rang.
The older unmarried woman, Teacher Hiratsuka, walked up to the podium and stared speechlessly at everyone below. "Hey, hey, class is starting. Are you trying to rebel?"
It was clearly class time, yet every single one of them was playing with their phones!
She instantly grew fierce.
Her fists had grown fierce!
Did they have a death wish?
Julian reminded her expressionlessly, "Teacher, the Uploader Alaya has updated!"
"Huh? That's your excuse for playing with your phones in class? Put them all away!"
Teacher Hiratsuka rapped on the desks without the slightest courtesy.
Everyone reluctantly put away their phones and glared at her resentfully.
Then.
The teacher turned on the projector. "What good is watching your phones one by one during class? We'll watch it together on the big screen. Isn't this much better?"
"Long live Teacher Hiratsuka! We love you the most!"
Everyone began confessing their love frantically.
This showed just how popular the Uploader Alaya had become after exposing things again and again.
Wei Gong silently shed tears in his heart. "The problem is—you keep exposing my Black History!"
Making money off other people's Black History through traffic—no wonder Alaya was a black-hearted capitalist who made him work seven days a week!
The video began playing on the big screen.
Facing the judgment of the gods in the heavens, Nameless, like Great Hero Arash, sacrificed himself to unleash the ultimate power of the Calamity Sword.
With one slash, he severed the connection between humans and gods, Severing the Way to Heaven!
The world-destroying flood abruptly vanished.
It transformed into a torrential downpour that enveloped all creation.
Gilgamesh stood in the pouring rain, watching his Dear Friend slowly collapse and fade away.
The battle against the gods was over. Humanity would break free from the constraints of the gods of the Heavenly Realm and regain a bright future.
Unfortunately, this future was one without them.
Loneliness, solitude, helplessness...
The arrogant King of Heroes, who had always looked down on everyone, displayed these emotions before everyone for the first time, making him seem even more real.
"He looks so lonely!"
A group of people whispered among themselves.
Just by watching the scene, they could feel that renowned sense of loneliness.
The scene abruptly changed.
What had been full of life instantly became gloomy and deathly silent.
There was no longer a single living thing visible anywhere on the screen.
Animals, plants, insects, and everything else had all disappeared.
Only endless oppression remained.
[Underworld]
The stark white caption made everyone shudder, afraid that a terrifying ghost might suddenly appear.
Nameless, whose body had previously collapsed and vanished, appeared on the screen once again.
He was walking through a strange passageway, with specks of golden light shining in his hand.
Looking closely, one could see that the golden light was actually a dazzling golden chain.
It was the chain that bound the Heavenly Realm and the human world, bound humans and gods, and bound the Wedge of Heaven—
[Enkidu]
Its abilities had been reclaimed by the gods, and its origin had been severed by the Calamity Sword, causing it to completely return to its original form.
Holding the golden chain, Nameless walked toward a door blocking his path. "Ereshkigal, I'm here to negotiate with you!"
The path to the deepest part of the Underworld had a total of seven doors.
When Ishtar had wanted to meet Ereshkigal back then, her every Authority had been stripped away layer by layer by the seven doors.
Even her clothes had been stripped off layer by layer.
By the time she reached the mistress of the Underworld, she had been killed with ease!
If King of Gods Anu hadn't personally resurrected her, Ishtar would have ceased to exist!
However, after Nameless arrived, faint light shone from the vicious stone door, and a gentle voice came from within—
[Answer my question first]
