Chapter 567

Hey! You over there next door, the one who keeps saying he wants to be human! Come here right now!

What a fool who doesn't know how lucky he is!

Chapter 510 states the altitude is 20,000 kilometers.

As he thought about it, he lost all interest in playing; he simply didn't have the energy or spirit anymore.

The truth is always more cruel than people expect.

But this is just a thought; we've already come all this way...

If he doesn't manage to get something out of the other party tonight, then he'll have come for nothing. Besides, letting things continue like this could be quite dangerous.

In fact, he had discovered Gilgamesh realm two or three days ago, but he had been too busy to deal with it.

After learning from the Ratziel that he was unlikely to do anything dangerous recently, he postponed the meeting until now.

But thinking about it carefully, he was accidentally dragged into this place during the Fourth World War. If he lost his source of magic power, although he might not be now, in a few days he might go on a killing spree and use his life force to extract magic power in order to maintain his spirit body.

... By the way, does this world have magic?

Elf are quite special; not only are they immortal, but they can also break through space at any time to travel back to Adjacent World and absorb spiritual energy.

From this perspective, his status is considerably higher than the other's... His gaze towards Gilgamesh gradually turned contemptuous. Ha, a mere inferior being, coming to our world to beg for food.

He waved the Michael in his hand, a long-handled magic wand with a ring of stars at the top and an irregular metal key-like toothed bar at the bottom. It was about the same height as him and resembled a magical girl's scepter.

He inserted it into the empty air in front of him, roaring with his spiritual power, and casually twirled it.

"[Open](Rataibu)."

A purplish-black vortex gate, identical to the one he had arrived at, immediately opened.

The "Angel" weapon "Michael" has simple abilities, consisting of four: [Open (Rataibu)], [Close (Seguva)], [Release (Shifuru)], and [Release (Shifuru)].

It sounds simple, but it goes without saying that the power of a concept god is not weak.

It can be ranked alongside the Second: Omniscience and the Third: Time Angel as the three most powerful functional Angel, which is naturally outrageously unreasonable.

[Open] means having the ability to open all things or concepts, while [Close] means being able to close and block all things or concepts.

[Release] unleashes all the potential of the target. If used on the target, both the target and the Michael will change their form, and all their attributes will increase.

[Solution] It can break the bonds between molecules, which, in layman's terms, means ignoring defenses and dealing true damage.

He can teleport to different locations at will by opening spatial Wormhole using the [Open] function and setting the starting point at will.

If the user wishes, they can even spend some time spreading spiritual energy throughout the Earth and use this skill to stop its rotation—it's that unreasonable.

What he meant when he said earlier that he couldn't destroy the world on his own for the time being, but could destroy humanity through drastic environmental changes, was this.

Just in case, he felt it necessary to explain.

The Astral Dress he's wearing now is definitely not from the previous owner of the Spirit Crystal. You understand what he means by that revealing outfit he's wearing, right?

It's perfectly normal for Astral Dress to change depending on their owner, isn't it?

Moreover, the Spirit Astral Dress itself can take the form of partial or special manifestation depending on the different spiritual power output and nature.

The Astral Dress he is currently wearing does not strictly belong to any of the four, but rather is a completely new form that combines the characteristics of all four with his Uehara ordinary clothes.

Of course, since all the Elf were female before, any transformation might seem strange to others, but for him... it was surprisingly suitable.

Could it be... that Mio Takamiya considered this factor when she chose to reincarnate?

"..."

Is she really that smart?

Having no other choice, he shook his head, picked up the Michael, and walked into the Wormhole alone, not worried that Gilgamesh wouldn't follow.

When Gilgamesh followed in his footsteps and left the spatial vortex, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Unfortunately, the moment he emerged, Sakurakoji Talent closed the Wormhole.

"Hey! Woman! Where have you led me?!"

Faced with the sudden and drastic change in his surroundings, which bore almost no resemblance whatsoever, Gilgamesh roared in impotent rage.

Although he asked the question, he already knew where he was.

No, I should say that any modern person would realize where they are.

Sakurakoji Talent smiled subtly, a triumphant smile playing on her lips, and didn't mind explaining it to him again, "At a distance of 20,000 km from the ground, in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), there is an uninhabited area where only meteorites and navigation satellites exist."

"It took a little effort, but it's the perfect Battlefield **, isn't it? There's absolutely no need to worry about affecting anyone else."

The place where they are now standing... floating is the outer edge of the Earth, where half of the land can be seen. Apart from the relatively close land, only the moon and sun, which are not much larger in the distance, are relatively conspicuous.

Surrounded by the pitch-black void of space, for an average person, just seeing this scene would leave them with a lifetime of lingering fear—a fate that no astronaut can escape.

This feeling of immense insignificance is completely different from the tangible experience of knowing "knowledge" when you are grounded in reality.

Even if there are man-made navigation satellites in this area, within this vast expanse, they are like a few grains of sand in the desert; there may not be a single satellite within thousands of kilometers around them.

At this distance, even if Gilgamesh were to unleash all the magic power within him, it would only cause a few drops of water to splash.

This will also prevent him from escaping.

Because the other party also possesses information-gathering skills such as the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence and the Clairvoyance, if he meets him once and lets him go, he will need to keep a close eye on his movements at all times. Therefore, he does not intend to let him leave easily.

Now, he could finally mock without restraint. "Or is it that, as the ancient king of the earth, you've never been to the universe before?"

"You bastard! What are you saying?!"

Gilgamesh, clad in golden armor, had eyes blazing with fury and a face ashen with rage. Gone was his previous composure; he looked as if he wanted to pierce holes in Gilgamesh's body.

In a way, it's because he hit the nail on the head...

"It seems my previous leniency has made you forget how to speak to me!"

"Fine! I'll teach you a lesson you'll learn!"

Without a sound, dozens of golden vortexes rippled from the sky behind him, and golden weapons gradually extended from them, aiming at Sakurakoji Talent's body, as if they would pierce him in the next second.

And indeed, that was the case; the next second—

Bite!

A halberd-shaped heavy weapon struck his body, which was only clad in a thin spiritual garment, with lightning speed without warning—specifically, his left thigh—and then bounced off with an unusually crisp sound.

Gilgamesh's eyes widened in shock, as if he had seen something incomprehensible.

"Pfft~"

Sakurakoji Talent scoffed, turning his head to the side and pointing at him with his finger, laughing wildly, "Have you not eaten? You don't even have the strength to hit someone, yet you call yourself the strongest king?"

"Oh, by the way, just so you know, my Astral Dress looks flimsy, but its defensive power is at least superior to your flashy golden armor. You can't break through its defenses without some force!"

A single Elf's Astral Dress is already so powerful that it can't be broken by cannon fire and can smash through several buildings without sustaining any damage, let alone his current four-piece enhanced set.

Hearing the high-frequency mockery he emitted using spiritual power (because there was no atmosphere here, so sound couldn't travel), Gilgamesh became even more enraged. Veins bulged on his smooth, broad forehead, and red veins filled his eyes. He roared back with magical fury:

"I, the King, will blast you, you ungrateful bastard, into pieces! Die a painful death filled with remorse!!!"

The golden ripples of the Gate of Babylon spread out in vast array, instantly multiplying several times over. A torrent of weapons, numbering in the hundreds, shot out in rapid succession, slamming towards him.

Fueled by rage, he unleashed his full power without restraint, massive amounts of magic gleaming and gushing forth relentlessly.

After several rounds, the weapons within the vast ripples of light all came to a halt. Gilgamesh stopped moving and looked at the enemy, clearly visible in the dust-free vacuum—the stubborn man whose defenses had finally been breached, who was now bleeding and had several weapons embedded in his abdomen, arms, and thighs.

There were large pieces of weapon debris all around, but there was no doubt that the other side had also suffered fatal wounds.

"I thought you were some kind of fierce stray dog, but it seems you're just a pretty face, all you're good for is your mouth!"

He easily crossed his arms again, looking down at him with a playful gaze.

"It's too late to regret it now. You'd better obediently face death before me and pay the price for your insolence!"

"Vomit..."

Sakurakoji Talent spat out a pool of fresh, ruby-red blood. Blood seeped from his gaping wound, his silver hair clung to his scarlet face, and his mouth moved silently up and down. "Is this about the level of his defense? Not bad..."

Although it was supposed to be a test, he might have had to retreat and rest temporarily if the other party hadn't stopped.

"Ugh...!"

Controlling his muscles, which were trembling slightly, he pulled out several weapons one by one and tossed them aside, spraying out more scarlet liquid as he did so.

The pain that would send others into shock and faint, barely even changed his expression. This level of muscle pain wasn't even nerve pain; he'd had it for years...

At the same time as he moved, a crimson glow, lighter than the color of blood, appeared out of nowhere and enveloped his entire body.

When the ribbon-like flames that had obscured the view of others faded, the fully-formed Efreet, unharmed and with even its blood evaporated, stood once more on the battlefield.

Sawa in alternating red and white, layered like a fairy's celestial robe, with pale-colored floating ribbons wrapped around her, exuding an ethereal and awe-inspiring aura.

Only the sharp white demon horns protruding from the sides of his head, and the ever-expanding, mad bloodlust in his crimson eyes, made it clear that this was not a fairy, but a real, violent demon.

The complete form, Phoenix Efreet Form.

Advantages: Incredible destructive power, incredible recovery ability, a pure numerical monster.

Disadvantages: As the battle intensifies, the destructive impulse will gradually escalate and deepen; in short... if you don't play well, it can easily lead to a loss of intelligence.

Chapter 511 Even the Axe King is nothing special.

"What have you been barking like a dog for, Gilgamesh?"

"It's just a minor fatal wound. Do you really think this will bring me down?"

Sakurakoji Talent's smile turned bloodthirsty as he hurled insults while feeling a surge of destructive urges within him.

Since we're not in combat right now, the increase isn't significant... However, even in a real battle, he doesn't think he could swell to the point where he can't control himself.

Who do you think he is! What dark emotions hasn't he experienced?!

That said, because of the restrictions imposed by my upbringing, it's been a long time since I've sworn... It feels so good!

"..."

Gilgamesh silent.

One reason is his unreasonable recovery ability, and the other is... although he doesn't remember saying such a thing, why does it feel so strangely familiar?

"You bastard, are you even human?"

At this point, his expression calmed down, and his eyes became slightly more serious.

While I've seen enemies with high regeneration rates before, this is the first time I've seen one as exaggerated as the one on the other side.

It was both beautiful and carefree, completely different from those monsters; it didn't feel like a fight for survival at all.

Sakurakoji Talent scoffed, "What nonsense are you spouting? Do I look like a human?"

"... What exactly are you? Are you a Dead Apostle, a fantasy species, a mage... or something else?"

"Although I have no obligation to answer you, I'll tell you since I still have something to ask of you."

The beautiful silver-haired Efreet gave a wicked smile, flames flickering in her eyes. "It's Elf, the only Elf in this world."

"Elf? You mean fairies?"

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes, guessing based on his knowledge.

"It's probably not what you think. You don't need to force yourself to understand."

"Hmph, arrogant!"

An invisible aura emanated from him, and starlight flashed in his crimson eyes. "What I want to know, I will naturally know everything!"

After a moment, he spoke slowly, "Your name is Sakurakoji Talent? Elf... It seems you weren't lying to me after all... Huh? You're actually a man?!"

As if he had been utterly deceived, his eyes widened to their limit as he stared intently at Sakurakoji Talent, a surge of indescribable, extreme anger welling up inside him.

"You bastard! How dare you deceive me, the king!"

"..."

Sakurakoji Talent lowered his eyes slightly, making a whistling motion. Whose fault was it that he wasn't blind? Was it because he was born this way?

"Did you just use the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence?"

"You actually know my skills? Who exactly are you?"

Hmm... so that means he hasn't seen his other abilities yet?
