Facing the terrifying Thunderbolt hurtling toward her, Nitocris had been driven into a desperate situation.
However, she was not the only one cornered.
In Gilgamesh's battle, Atalanta and Medea had already lost all ability to fight back.
The King of Heroes possessed a powerful Noble Phantasm known as the "King's Treasury." "I have collected every treasure in the world" was Gilgamesh's favorite saying, but it was not merely a metaphor. Gilgamesh had gathered and claimed for himself the prototypes of every technology born in his age. Rather than treasures stored by Gilgamesh, it was better described as the very "original canon of human wisdom."
In fact, the prototypes of most heroes' Noble Phantasms could be found within Gate of Babylon.
With this treasury, Gilgamesh could summon Noble Phantasms of nearly any function to handle any situation. So long as he stood upon the battlefield, he became an impregnable fortress and an unstoppable artillery platform.
Neither magic nor physical attacks could do anything to this mighty king, no matter what methods Atalanta and Medea used. Instead, under Gate of Babylon's ceaseless barrage, the two could only flee in panic.
Elsewhere, in their battle against Rome's founding emperor, Romulus, the valiant Amazon sisters were both at a disadvantage, reduced to barely holding their ground.
Greatly different from who he had been in life, Romulus, as a Heroic Spirit, was not merely a demigod. He was also a divine king bearing the name of the chief god, "Quirinus."
Naturally, when summoned as a Heroic Spirit, he did not truly possess the divine authority of a god-king. Yet even without it, his combat power came infinitely close to that of a chief god.
Moreover, he possessed a Noble Phantasm that could only be called cheating.
