Gilgamesh and Enkidu / The King's Reward
All of this was given to her by her king.
As a subject of such a king, Tinī felt very lucky and honored.
Her eyes were filled with undisguised adoration as she gazed at the golden figure in the sky.
So tall, majestic, and arrogant.
This is her king, the King of Heroes, the king of kings, the hero of heroes, the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh!
Chapter 46, Section 560: Gilgamesh and Enkidu
Gilgamesh, high in the sky, looked down upon the earth and extended an invitation to Enkidu once again.
His joyful mood kept him smiling, laughing heartily.
"As you wish!"
Enkidu readily accepted Gilgamesh's suggestion, as he also desired a thoroughly enjoyable battle.
Those two collisions were just appetizers.
As if on cue, the two of them unleashed their Noble Phantasm simultaneously once again.
"O mortals, hoping to bind the gods!" (Enuma Elish)
"The Ea, Star of Ruin!" (Enuma Elish)
This time, the collision was even more intense than before, and the two of them simultaneously increased their output, maximizing the energy of their Noble Phantasm.
The wind howled, the yellow sand filled the sky, space was cut off, and time stood still.
That wasn't all. Under the astonished gazes of Yuxian and the others, the two of them actually unleashed their Noble Phantasm once again.
"O mortals, hoping to bind the gods!" (Enuma Elish)
"The Ea, Star of Ruin!" (Enuma Elish)
What is this? A barrage of Noble Phantasm? Noble Phantasm of this power can be used repeatedly?
Everyone gaped in disbelief, their mouths agape even as sand blew into them.
Amazing, absolutely amazing.
Is this their true strength?
Such strength and such combat are awe-inspiring and terrifying to behold.
Richard I was deeply impressed. He realized that Gilgamesh's battle with him that day was just a game, and that Gilgamesh hadn't used his true strength at all.
There are very, very few people in this world who can make Gilgamesh seriously.
Enkidu must be one of them.
How terrifying Gilgamesh when he's serious? This is a truth that even Yuxian has never witnessed.
Because most of the time, Golden Flash always has a cool and arrogant expression, calling everyone a bastard, and throwing his Noble Phantasm around like a nouveau riche who has never seen the world.
But the current Golden Flash is clearly different. He is smiling and enjoying himself, while at the same time facing his opponent with utmost seriousness.
That was his only close friend, Enkidu.
He is the kind of person for whom it is worth doing this.
Enkidu is in no way inferior to Gilgamesh; he appears quieter and more elegant.
Her stunningly beautiful face, with its irresistible charm that appeals to both men and women, was on full display at this moment.
That was a state completely different from Enkidu's stroll through the forest.
It is a dynamic and dynamic aesthetic.
Every movement he makes is so captivating, as if it were perfectly natural.
Enkidu more charismatic in battle than usual, especially in battles where he goes all out, which possess a violent beauty.
His long hair flowed freely, his loose clothes rustled, and the yellow sand seemed to deliberately avoid him, swirling around him without leaving a speck of dust.
An androgynous beauty, indescribable in words, emanates from Enkidu and is so captivating.
This beauty blooms only for one person.
That person was also the only one he saw now: Gilgamesh.
"My dearest friend!"
"Gilles!"
The two shouted each other's names at the same time, and smiled at each other in perfect unison, gazing at each other across the sky and the light emanating from their Noble Phantasm.
They recognized and cherished this tacit understanding and friendship.
This friendship, which transcends time and space, has been reunited, blossomed, and borne fruit once again in America in the 21st century.
Accompanying this friendship was a battle in which the two gave their all.
Others may not understand this way of performing, but they know deep down that it is the best and most dazzling performance.
Hahahaha!
Gilgamesh's wild laughter even drowned out the sound of the Noble Phantasm clashing and reached Yuxian's ears.
"Let us add even more splendor to this reunion, my dearest friend!"
Gilgamesh raised Enuma Elish once more, his movements especially solemn.
His entire body was covered in golden armor, which rustled and creaked as if he was using all his strength to lift the sword that could cleave the heavens.
And that is indeed the case; he poured everything into that sword.
"Elements mix, condense, and give birth to the interwoven stars of all things. With this insight, I will understand the primordial principles and tear the world apart with my Enuma Elish."
"Take it, my dearest friend!"
Gilgamesh roared furiously, in a manner unbecoming of a king.
"The Ea, Star of Ruin!" (Enuma Elish)
His voice even cracked, which was unimaginable for Gilgamesh, who considered himself the most noble king.
However, that's exactly what he did, and it didn't diminish his majesty in the slightest. Every word he uttered was so domineering, so firm and powerful.
The emotions contained within can be felt even from a distance.
So intense, so sincere.
Enkidu still smiled elegantly, and he spoke clearly with a laugh:
"This... this is such a beautiful voice!"
His head was held high, always facing Gilgamesh in the sky, his gaze never wavering for even a moment.
His eyes were fixed on that golden, glittering figure.
Enkidu remained as elegant and composed as ever, every move he made exuding his unique charm.
But the violent shaking of his long hair betrayed his state of mind at that moment.
He was excited, expectant, and joyful.
"What is awakened is the breath of the stars; I will move forward shoulder to shoulder with humanity."
"My dearest friend, I stand shoulder to shoulder with you!"
In that instant, Enkidu abandoned his previous elegance and became wild and unrestrained, shouting and echoing in his distinctive voice.
"O mortals, hoping to bind the gods!" (Enuma Elish)
The sky trembled, and the earth shook.
They are singing for the two of them, cheering and applauding for their friendship.
The world paled in comparison, relinquishing its most beautiful scene to these two extraordinary friends.
The center of the world at this moment is in Snowfield, in this desert, in Gilgamesh and Enkidu.
Such a display of power clearly forces people to avoid it and back down.
But Yuxian's eyes were fixed on the scene, and even blinking once would be a huge loss to miss it.
If you miss such a scene, you'll truly miss it.
This is a once-in-a-millennium event... It truly happens only once every few thousand years.
It would be truly impolite not to take in their figures.
Everyone shared the same sentiment as Yuxian, witnessing this moment.
Witnessing the friendship between the King of Heroes Gilgamesh and Enkidu.
This friendship is as grand, intense, and unstoppable as the clash of their Noble Phantasm at this moment.
Hahahahahahahahaha!
The two of them laughed loudly, wildly, and hysterically.
It echoed throughout the world.
Section 561, Chapter 47: The King's Reward
The gale subsided, the roar ceased, and the world fell silent once more.
The transition from extreme motion to extreme stillness is so natural.
Gilgamesh fell from the sky, managing to maintain his balance and land steadily on the ground, still standing tall and upright.
Enkidu also stood up and stood opposite Gilgamesh, looking at each other.
Hahahaha!
The two of them burst into laughter at the same time.
This is unrestrained laughter, joyful laughter without regrets.
They just laughed like that, and no one bothered them; this was their time.
They didn't speak to each other; everything was conveyed through laughter.
The laughter contained everything between them.
Not long after, Gilgamesh turned to look at Yuxian.
"Tinī!"
He called out to his Master, his eyes fixed on the vassal who served him so faithfully.
"King!"
Tinī bowed to Gilgamesh with utmost sincerity, her posture completely unpretentious, like a loyal subject who had served for a thousand years, naturally showing respect and adoration to her king.
"Protect the courtyard for me."
Gilgamesh said calmly.
His voice seemed to descend from the heavens, penetrating Tinī's heart and deeply engraving the command into her soul.
Tinī immediately stood up straight, her eyes unwavering, her voice strong and clear.
"Tinī Cherke will obey the King's instructions and will firmly guard the King's courtyard!"
Gilgamesh nodded in satisfaction and gave Tinī a look of approval.
"Children should act like children. As my subject, I allow you to play in this courtyard."
Gilgamesh waved his hand gently.
