As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Ereshkigal, "Ereshkigal, your appearance has truly surprised me."

Ereshkigal nodded to Golden Flash and said, "My sister has caused you trouble. She's always so willful. Please don't blame her."

"Hahaha!" Golden Flash laughed loudly, "How could I possibly stoop to her level?"

"My heart is as vast as my treasure trove!"

Upon hearing this, Yuxian couldn't help but glance at him, thinking to herself, "You really don't mind?"

Yuxian always felt that Golden Flash was being somewhat insincere. The laughter sounded like she was trying to cover something up. Otherwise, given Golden Flash's temperament, she would have been dismissive and wouldn't have offered so many explanations.

As the saying goes, explanation is just a cover-up, and cover-up is just confirmation.

Ishtar really caused him a lot of trouble, and she was one of the few people who could give Golden Flash a headache.

Yuxian had no intention of exposing Golden Flash; it wouldn't be a wise thing to do, and it would be bad if Golden Flash got angry.

He changed the subject and asked, "King of Heroes, the Holy Grail War is almost over. What are your thoughts?"

He paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something and answered himself, "That's right, you probably just want to have a good fight with Enkidu, after all, he's your only best friend."

Yuxian was well aware that Golden Flash had no need for the Holy Grail, which was why they felt no burden when they came to see Golden Flash.

Essentially, Yuxian doesn't want the Holy Grail to be granted any wishes, since no one knows what a wish might turn out to be.

It's better to just destroy something unreliable like that.

Golden Flash gave Yuxian a meaningful look, "You seem to know me quite well."

"Indeed, this king must have a battle with his dearest friend, a truly exhilarating fight!"

"Can we just watch?" Yuxian immediately asked. "Don't worry, we definitely won't bother you. We just want to see what it's like."

"I'm sure the King of Heroes won't refuse this small request."

Yuxian really wanted to see Golden Flash and Enkidu fight; that would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It gave him the feeling of witnessing a legend.

"It's alright!" Golden Flash said arrogantly. "It's not a problem to let you mongrels witness my majesty."

"Mhm!" Yuxian repeatedly. "I can help protect your Master then, so you can fight freely without any worries."

Yuxian is trying to curry favor with Golden Flash. It's clear that he treats Tinī differently from the others, which suggests that he genuinely acknowledges this young Master.

Aside from himself, Yu Yuxian had never seen Master could be recognized by the King of Heroes Gilgamesh.

Tokiomi Tohsaka was tormented to the point of ecstasy by Golden Flash.

This shows that Tinī is indeed a very special little girl.

Golden Flash said noncommittally, "My subjects are under my protection. If you can serve me, I will grant your request."

Yuxian didn't care that Golden Flash called his help in protecting Tinī a request. Anyway, that's just Golden Flash's personality. If you argue with him, Yuxian will lose.

"When will you start fighting?" Yuxian asked.

Buzz!

The earth emitted a soft hum.

"Hahaha! It seems my dearest friend can't wait any longer!"

Yuxian was a little surprised. It was still daytime, yet Enkidu actually taken the initiative to invite Golden Flash to a battle.

This is not like him. Did something happen to him?

While Yuxian was still pondering, Golden Flash had already taken out Vimana from the treasury, eager to go into battle.

The group climbed Vimana and headed straight for the desert south of Snowfield.

This desert has truly suffered many disasters, with several major battles taking place here. Fortunately, the desert has a strong ability to recover, and the craters and potholes caused by previous battles have long been buried by the endless yellow sand.

Golden Flash put everyone down at the edge of the desert, while Enkidu slowly walked over carrying the Silver Wolf.

Yuxian had excellent eyesight and could tell at a glance that the Silver Wolf in Enkidu's arms was in very poor condition.

After all, it's a synthetic beast, so its lifespan is probably not long. That's probably why Enkidu couldn't wait to challenge Golden Flash to a battle during the day.

Enkidu gently put the Silver Wolf down, stroked its fur, and whispered something to it.

The Silver Wolf howled and rubbed against Enkidu, clearly reluctant to leave him.

Finally, after some unknown conversation between Enkidu and the silver wolf, the Silver Wolf finally staggered toward Yuxian and his companions.

Chapter 45, Section 559: The Chains of Heaven and the Chains of Heaven

Silver Wolf walked over to Yuxian and his group, Mash naturally picked it up.

When Fou saw the Silver Wolf, she called out softly, but it was unclear what she was saying.

The Silver Wolf obediently stayed in Mash's arms, but its eyes remained fixed on Enkidu's direction, unblinking.

The Silver Wolf, whose life was nearing its end, revealed a deep affection in its eyes. Although its time with Enkidu was short, it did not prevent it from regarding Enkidu as family, its only family.

Tinī was also watching the scene ahead with great attention, but she had great confidence in Golden Flash.

Wang will not lose, he definitely will not lose!

Hiss! Hiss!

Flat ran up to Yuxian, panting, "I'm exhausted. What are you doing here? We saw something flying over here and rushed over."

Yuxian glanced at him, then looked over his shoulder into the distance.

Richard I and Sajyou Ayaka also walked quickly towards them.

Golden Flash arrived here using Vimana without any attempt at concealment, nor did he bother to conceal it.

Flat and Richard I, among others, found nothing unusual.

Yuxian even suspected that ordinary people might have seen it, but of course, others would handle the cover-up, and it was none of his business.

There is no doubt that many people are paying attention to the situation here.

Flat and his group only came over without any disguise because they knew Yuxian; others were probably observing from the shadows.

"An epic battle is about to take place here. You're in luck!"

Yuxian gestured towards Golden Flash and Enkidu in the desert.

Flat blinked and said to his wristwatch, "Mr. Jack, I told you coming here was the right thing to do. If we had listened to you, we would have missed such a great event."

Richard I approached and nodded, saying, "The battle between the King of Heroes Gilgamesh and Enkidu, they are continuing that unfinished battle... It is certainly not to be missed."

The entire Snowfield was in an uproar because of the battle between Golden Flash and Enkidu.

At that moment, Golden Flash, standing high in the sky, and Enkidu, standing on the ground, looked at each other.

The two of them simultaneously raised the corners of their mouths slightly and smiled at each other.

This laugh was like a signal to start a war. Golden Flash drew a strange sword from the void. This cylindrical sword kept spinning, as if it was cutting through the air and cutting through space.

Enuma Elish, Golden Flash's most powerful weapon, is said to possess the power to cleave the heavens and the earth.

Without warning, yet seemingly by choice.

Golden Flash raised the Enuma Elish Ea high, immediately addressing his only true friend with the highest level of courtesy.

"The Ea, Star of Ruin!" (Enuma Elish)

Enkidu understands Golden Flash, just as Golden Flash understands Enkidu.

He wasn't surprised at all that Golden Flash would unleash Enuma Elish from the very beginning.

It's as if he also planned to unleash his Noble Phantasm from the very beginning.

"O mortals, hoping to bind the gods!" (Enuma Elish)

The two Noble Phantasm collided instantly.

This battle was a climax from the very beginning; there was no build-up or preparation, it was a clash of titans right from the start.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu, these two confidants who are both enemies and friends, don't need any testing or groundwork between them.

Everything felt so familiar, so natural.

The Chains of Heaven and the Chains of Heaven, their meeting was destiny, and their battle was an extension of destiny.

"My dearest friend! Let us continue that unfinished battle and rewrite that legend for this world!"

Gilgamesh no longer referred to himself as "this king," because the person before him was Enkidu, his only close friend, someone who could stand on equal footing with his King of Heroes Gilgamesh.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

Gilgamesh laughed heartily, he laughed joyfully, he laughed heartily.

At that moment, he felt so joyful and delighted.

The deafening roar of their Noble Phantasm clashing resounded throughout the heavens and earth, but Gilgamesh's words clearly reached Enkidu's ears.

"Gilles, you're still the same as before, you haven't changed at all."

Enkidu laughing, though his laughter wasn't as arrogant as Gilgamesh's, but his inner joy was no less Gilgamesh's.

They were best friends, and not only Gilgamesh thought so, but Enkidu thought so too.

Friendship is a irrational thing; they've all forgotten when it started, but it just happened without them even realizing it.

A tremendous echo reverberated between heaven and earth. The two remained unreserved, oblivious to everyone else, their eyes fixed solely on each other.

The light of the Noble Phantasm faded slightly, ripples appeared behind Gilgamesh, and countless Noble Phantasm emerged, slowly turning towards the ground.

Enkidu braced his palms against the yellow sand, and clay weapons emerged from the ground, their number no less than Gilgamesh's.

Boom!

Another collision.

If the previous Noble Phantasm collision was a massive explosion at a single point, then this time it's a simultaneous shattering of countless points.

Yuxian subconsciously rubbed his ears; the enormous sound waves made them hurt a little.

All other sounds in the world were completely drowned out, leaving only the sound of this battle.

It was as if even the sound couldn't bear to disturb them.

"What a magnificent epic," Yuxian thought to himself.

Even though I already knew this battle would be earth-shattering, I still couldn't help but feel moved after witnessing it.

Compared to the battle between Ereshkigal and Ishtar, the passion displayed in the current fight between the two is more captivating.

This is a battle between men, even though Enkidu has no gender.

Hahahaha!

Gilgamesh laughed wildly, "I haven't felt this good in a long time! My dearest friend! Let's fight with all our might, leaving no regrets! Hahahaha!"

Tinī stared blankly at Gilgamesh in the sky; it was the first time she had ever seen her king so happy.

This was a genuine joy; she could sense that Wang's laughter was heartfelt, undisguised, unpretentious, and even childlike in its purity.

She realized that she had never truly understood the Golden King she served.

Learn?

Tinī suddenly felt that she had been extremely rude.

She felt ashamed for trying to guess the king's thoughts; this was not something a subject should do.

If Wang is happy, then she is happy.

This is the proper way of a subject.

Nothing else matters.

Just as her king said, all she had to do was look up to his majesty.

Thinking this, a smile appeared on Tinī's lips, an extremely innocent smile.

This little girl, only eleven or twelve years old, who bore the fate of her entire family on her shoulders, smiled from the bottom of her heart for the first time.
