Chapter 89: The Angel That Announces Death! The Name of the Strongest Class, Only One STRIKE!! Is needed

『 "It's just a mortal wound, no need to worry," Gilgamesh paid no mind to the gushing blood.

Amidst the flames of war, amidst the end, his figure stood unmoving.

"It's time for this King to show his true strength. Although I've been going all out from the start, this King still needs face!"

Blood continuously overflowed from Gilgamesh's mouth, but the golden meteor streaking across the sky shone even brighter! 』

[ Boros (One Punch Man): "Just a mortal wound… Hahahahahaha! WHAT AN ARROGANT DECLARATION—!" ]

[ Nami (One Piece): "Is this the charm of a handsome and rich man?!" ]

[ Siduri (Type-Moon): "Oh King, Uruk shall exist forever!" ]

[ Dio Brando (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure): "The oldest King, your body is already boro boro da! You can still fight?!" ]

[ Yang Jian (New Gods): "…Humans have infinite possibilities." ]

[ Urahara Kisuke (Bleach): "In the dark mud of the Hollows, looking up with a condescending gaze, amidst endless annihilation, the figure of the King stands unmoving. Is this the demeanor of the oldest King?" ]

[ Tezcatlipoca⦍Assassin⦎: "This golden flash's Battle Continuation is that strong?" ]

[ Tohsaka Tokiomi: "So this is what a true King is like? Throughout history, how many Kings would shield their subjects from attacks…!" ]

[ .....]

〜JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Part 3: Stardust Crusaders Worldline〜

"Just a mortal wound…"

Dio sneered, swirling the champagne in his hand.

"Indeed, humans have limits, Gilgamesh. You are already boro boro da, seemingly powerful, but you are merely a spent force."

"Humans have limits!"

But now, at this moment, how could Gilgamesh evolve into the ultimate immortal being?

Everything should end.

〜Naruto World〜

"Ahhh! King Gilgamesh is too cool!"

Sakura Haruno's eyes sparkled with hearts, her breathing rapid, her maidenly body tinged with pink.

Naruto, standing beside her, felt a bit jealous, but he had to admit, Gilgamesh was really handsome!

"Just a mortal wound, huh…"

Sasuke's eyes flickered, filled with regret. Such a cool line was stolen from him!

〜Boardtop World Disboard, Present Timeline〜

"This should have been an unknown battle, but it is now presented before the eyes of the world,"

Tet murmured.

As the sole god of this world and the God of Games, he instantly understood from the three words 'Singularity' that this history did not exist.

It was a flawed historical point, unknown to anyone.

Yet it appeared here now…

"In that case, those ghosts also have a chance, right?"

Tet smiled.

『 Sharp, hoarse, like a locust plague, the overwhelming Lahmu almost devoured everything in the world.

They advanced in waves, fearless of death.

At this pace, they wouldn't make it until Ereshkigal unearthed Uruk. Seeing this, Ishtar decided it was time to go all out!

But just as she was about to unleash her Noble Phantasm, countless golden ripples opened behind her, and countless chains shot out from above Ishtar's head!

With a wave of his hand, countless Lahmu were strangled by the Chains of Heaven.

It was Kingu… Ishtar, squatting with her head in her hands, touched her head with lingering fear. More than why Kingu came to help, she wanted to ask…

Was she almost blown up by this guy just now?! 』

『 .....』

〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜

In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—

"Ugh! Too much!"

At Mount Ebih, Ishtar pouted, her anger maxed out.

Those involved are often blind, while bystanders see clearly. She saw it all too clearly!

That shot was aimed at her head. If she hadn't squatted down early, she would have been skewered!

"It's just killing you, is it that big a deal! Didn't you also destroy my Gugalanna!"

Ishtar complained.

『 "Why are you still alive, Kingu!" a Lahmu sharply questioned.

But the response was the piercing of cold chains. Kingu looked indifferently, "To be rendered helpless by these mass-produced types, the old humans are truly useless."

"…And you still dare to brag to me," Kingu looked at the figure at the top of Uruk.

Neither the Master of Chaldea nor you can do anything alone.

Kingu's eyes flickered with complexity.

"Why, why are you helping humanity!" the Lahmu roared in anger.

"Who said I'm helping humanity? I am a brand new human, the only new human, Kingu."

"But…"

Kingu once again recalled Gilgamesh's words: regardless of mother and birth background, do what you truly want to do.

That… that wish…

"I don't have it, Gil." Kingu looked at his hands, his vision gradually blurring. An unprecedented surge of emotion rose in his heart.

"But upon closer thought, there was one."

"I want to see you, I want to talk to you, I want to tell you all the memories and feelings I hold in my heart, as a friend, one by one."

Blurred, chaotic, redundant, countless memories emerged from this body. He, who should have been a weapon, was now weeping uncontrollably.

But this was impossible. Kingu understood that this was not his wish, but the wish of the Enkidu body…

His wish was only one: a life obtained to maintain the human world— 』

『 .....』

〜Jujutsu Kaisen World〜

"How pitiful, Suguru Geto, wouldn't you say~"

Mahito smiled brightly, looking at Kingu on the screen, and suddenly asked.

"Oh?"

The forehead stitches twitched slightly. Kenjaku looked at Mahito.

"Eh? Not pitiful?"

Mahito chuckled,

"Although he was toyed with by fate, it's more due to the malicious amusement of certain beings."

"Best friends, fighting each other, it's too pitiful~."

"It makes me curious, what do you think Kingu's soul is now? Is it Kingu, or Enkidu, or are their two souls fused together?"

『 "Goodbye, Mother, you chose the wrong child."

Kingu's figure paused before Tiamat. At this moment, Kingu realized that he would no longer be lost on the path ahead.

"Tiamat's children, Kingu, will now display the name of the Chains of Heaven!"

The earth was illuminated by brilliant golden light. Tiamat's terrifying body was enveloped in golden light. At this moment, what awakened was the aura of the stars—

Within the golden ripples, the Chains of Heaven pierced the earth, soaring into the sky.

"Mother's wrath is a thing of the past. What is awakened now is the Breath of the Stars!"

This body transforms into a giant wedge of the Chains of Heaven, rising like the morning sun, falling like a meteor—

Gil, you are the King of Uruk, and also my friend.

Since we met, we have walked a journey longer than life, crossed oceans older than time, and seen the future and the past.

But this is not mine… this is the wish that exists as the concept of Uruk. I will burn everything to intercept it!

"Enuma Elish—!!"

(O' Humans, Let Us Restrain the Gods)

The wedge piercing the god shimmered with brilliant divinity. Tiamat's terrifying body was firmly restrained in place by the Chains of Heaven!

Fujimaru and Mashu watched this shocking scene with utter astonishment and tremor.

"Look closely, if she takes a few more steps forward, this divine tower will turn to ash," Gilgamesh wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "She must be very unwilling; taking a single step is so heavy."

"Although it's only a momentary restraint, it's already an unbearable eternity."

"The Chains of Heaven can finally suppress even the power of a Creator God!"

"This King has witnessed the departure of his dear friend twice. The first time was in sorrow, but this time is different. That proud and heroic figure…"

"Has been forever etched into this King's eyes!" 』

『 .....』

[ Siduri: "O beautiful one with purple eyes, may you find happiness." ]

[ Index (A Certain Magical Index): "Transforming your body into chains, Kingu, at this moment you are no longer a soulless shell, but a true human being, a new human." ]

[ Emiya Shirou: "Is this Anti-Purge Defense? The greater the threat to the world, the stronger its power." ]

[ Fiamma (A Certain Magical Index): "As expected of the legendary Chains of Heaven, the higher the divinity within, the stronger the effect? But to actually bind a Creator God in place… truly terrifying." ]

[ Laura Stuart (A Certain Magical Index): "Oh my, if the Chains of Heaven in Christianity were really like this, I'd be tempted to snatch them away~" ]

[ Tobirama Senju (Naruto): "This is true sealing jutsu! I have an idea, Big Brother!" ]

[ Hashirama Senju (Naruto): "Not Water ninjutsu? Then forbid it." ]

[ .....]

〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜

In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—

"Where exactly should I go…"

On the boundless plain, Kingu hung his head, looking at his palms in a daze.

Unable to face the friend of this body, and no longer accepted by his mother…

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

Although everyone was shocked that the Chains of Heaven could restrain a Creator God in place, it was limited to that.

To restrain Tiamat for a moment, Kingu sacrificed himself as a price. It was feared that in no time…

.....

『 Gilgamesh turned back, "This King must thank you, Fujimaru. Even if everything in this era were utilized, we could probably only reach this point."

"You are a stranger, an anomaly of this era, a superfluous existence. But precisely because you are superfluous, you can deliver the final counterattack against this inevitable destruction that we are powerless to reverse."

"The time is ripe; all victory and defeat are now in your hands."

The Chains of Heaven shattered layer by layer, and Ereshkigal in the Underworld had also completed the phase shift of the Underworld!

Now, all that was needed was to punch a hole!

"Ishtar!" Ritsuka Fujimaru shouted.

"Understood! As per Master's command!"

" Gate Open—" a crack tens of thousands of meters wide ripped through the sky, and dazzling stars fell once again.

"To the great Heaven, to the great Earth—"

At this moment, it was also time for Venus to shine!

The authority of Venus filled the concept, and purple arrows struck the earth!

"BOOM—!" A terrifying beam of light exploded, and a mysterious and eerie mushroom cloud bloomed.

"Senpai!" Mashu tightly grasped Ritsuka Fujimaru's hand as the two rapidly fell into the Underworld.

Ritsuka Fujimaru suddenly realized something. She abruptly looked at King Gilgamesh, reaching out to grasp something.

But all that remained for the girl was his figure swallowed by the light, and that… never-before-seen gentle smile.

The oldest King—falls! 』

『 .....』

〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜

[ Aqua (KonoSuba): "Wait! Gilgamesh just ended like that?! So those were his dying words?!" ]

[ Donquixote Doflamingo (One Piece): "How pathetic, as the last King, he didn't even witness the end of an era." ]

[ Artoria Pendragon⦍Lancer Alter⦎: "The death of the King, humanity's true farewell to the gods." ]

[ Tohsaka Tokiomi: "This is the true King Gilgamesh!" ]

[ Nami (One Piece): "Ahhh, King Gilgamesh's last smile, I'm literally crying to death! So gentle! The King departed so sadly, boo hoo hoo." ]

[ Merlin: "Just stepping away to put on some hair gel, no need to mind." ]

[ .....]

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜

〜Myriad Worlds livestream Barrage〜

/From anti-flash to flash-fan, you flashy guy, you're too much! Boo hoo hoo!

/This time he's truly dead. Unlike before, when he entered the Underworld, this is real physical death.

/Oh, King, this is the gentlest smile you showed us.

.....

Ritsuka Fujimaru's heart was touched, and tears welled up in the girl's eyes. From the King's initial disdain to their farewell now, everything passed like a fleeting cloud.

It constantly stirred the girl's heart.

Ritsuka Fujimaru also understood that this so-called oldest Heroic Spirit King was just the oldest tsundere!

If they could meet again, she would definitely make that King look at her with new eyes. The girl vigorously wiped away her tears, and at the same time, looked at the barrage of comments below, her heart filled with confusion.

/Flashy: Don't rush, I'm going to put on some hair gel and grab my EA.

/Archer Flashy requests to join the battle.

/Your friend Merlin is on his way.

.....

What are they talking about…? The girl's clear and naive eyes were full of bewilderment.

『 Tiamat fell into the Underworld.

Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash also fell into the Underworld. Ereshkigal used her authority to grant them the right to exist and fly in the Underworld.

Now they existed in the Underworld as the dead. 』

『 .....』

〜Saint Seiya Toeiverse, ??? timeline〜

Hades frowned. If he remembered correctly…

Granting Underworld authority to a living being would also cause severe damage to oneself, right? What was this Underworld Goddess thinking…

『 "Aaaaaaaaa!" in the pitch-black Underworld, terrifying lightning flashed. Each strike was burning Tiamat with heat equivalent to Ishtar's Noble Phantasm.

This was the Underworld's defense mechanism, specifically designed to deal with living beings who trespassed into the Underworld without permission!

Ereshkigal mobilized her authority, preparing to unleash an even more terrifying attack, but the moment the attack fell, Tiamat actually enveloped herself in the Chaos Tide!

Crimson, ominous, bizarre! At this rate, the entire Underworld would be corroded by the Chaos Tide!

And the figure within the chaos reappeared, completely different from its previous form.

The dragonized Tiamat let out a terrifying roar!

Instantly, the chaos, as if to devour the world, surged towards everyone!

But at the last moment, a petal drifted by, and that Chaos Tide actually transformed into a sky full of petals!

The Chaos Tide was being neutralized, and Lahmu could no longer be born from it. And this iconic magic!

It was Merlin, who had specially rushed over from Avalon!

This time, it wasn't a clone, but The Living Merlin itself! 』

『 .....』

〜Type-Moon World〜

Ran… from Avalon?

Everyone's minds even stalled, unable to react. Was this some Grand Marathon runner?!

Singularities were distorted historical points. Chaldea could only reach them through Spiritron Dive, but Merlin?

Not to mention that this guy isn't dead, so he can be summoned as a Heroic Spirit.

Just crossing time and space from the inside of the world to the outside of the world at an unknown time is strange enough, right?!

Chaldea—

Romani watched this scene, shocked for a whole year.

Merlin… ran from Avalon to the Uruk—?!

Somewhere in an unknown place—

"Oh dear, what's going on~"

Lady Avalon pouted, displeased.

"Shouldn't we let Ritsuka and the others gamble their lives, unleash their final power, and turn the tide again~? What are you, a incubus, doing getting involved~"

Indeed, there's a difference between a good-hearted Merlin and a self-serving one.

『 Seeing Merlin, everyone seemed to see a glimmer of hope again. However, the next moment, the scummy Merlin indicated that he, too, was helpless.

This was one of the Seven Evils abandoned by humanity. Despite all their previous efforts, Tiamat still knew no death.

Now, only a Grand Servant could deal with her—

And what attracted the Grand Servant was Ritsuka Fujimaru!

"No death, no life. Only with death can there be life. The eternity you speak of is not walking, but silence," holding a greatsword,

"Beast of Calamity, an evil born of humanity."

"To long for that maternal love is to reject your very foundation, but as the Mother of Origin, I must state my name."

"Rushing from the abyss of the deep valley, from the dark death, Old Man of the Mountain, Hassan-i-Sabbah."

Holding a giant sword, clad in black armor, with a faint blue (Underworld fire) burning in the hollow eye sockets of his skull. The old man descended upon the world like a grim reaper from the abyss! 』

『 .....』

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜

An overwhelming barrage of comments scrolled across the girl's eyes!

〜Myriad Worlds livestream Barrage〜

/Everyone, stand up!

/King Hassan has infiltrated! Unrivaled!

/The evening bell has rung!

/The name of Grand is not what we seek; the proof of the strongest lies solely in this one Big sword!
