Wise King Gilgamesh: Alaya, I'll curse your ancestors! Goetia was still too restrained! (Continued)
Too insidious!
"Taking advice is a good thing. After all, the last demigod like you, bare-chested, sitting on a throne, fighting to the last man in his own city-state... Sigh, forget it. I won't say any more."
Chen Li sighed and shook his head.
Bare-chested? Sitting on a throne? His own city-state? Fighting to the last man?
And he was a goddamn demigod?
"Forgive me for asking, but was this demigod you mentioned blond?"
Gilgamesh suddenly asked.
"That's right."

Isn't he talking about me?
Gilgamesh straightened up slightly.
In truth, the Seventh Singularity had not started out as the divine free-for-all it was now. At first, Gilgamesh had only needed to face the Three Goddess Alliance.
And through Gilgamesh's Clairvoyance, he had seen that if Ea had not been sealed, he would have had enough power to defeat the Three Goddess Alliance alone.

"Please, tell me the ending of that war god. It is very important to me."
Gilgamesh spoke sincerely.
"Huh? Are you misunderstanding something? I wasn't talking about you..." Seeing how grave and earnest Gilgamesh looked, Chen Li seemed to realize something.

Gilgamesh nodded.

The secrets of heaven could not be divulged!
"He..."
"He?"
Gilgamesh leaned forward slightly.
"He had scoliosis."
"..."
Goddamn it!
"So... what exactly were you expecting?"
