What's Your Choice?

"They sure got a beating. I should send them the new modifications to my Golden Lion Sword style... Well, we'll talk about that later."

As Gilgamesh walked forward, the gigantic ogre reformed and directed a gaze filled with murderous intent towards him. He perceived this as nothing more than the sight of a small dog barking without really knowing whom it's barking at. But considering that things had been quite dull in Roa lately, this time he would show off a bit in front of everyone.

"I don't even want to know why you attacked this village or what your intentions are. I'll figure that out with my own eyes later, so don't bother telling me anything." Gilgamesh seemed a bit serious as he looked at Falken and said, "Watch this spectacle from above, or it won't be interesting."

"Yes, my lord." Kaelen immediately waved his hand, and a floating ship appeared behind them. After boarding it, they rose into the sky, looking down where Gilgamesh stood doing nothing.

"Is he going to fight alone?" Paul didn't seem to agree with the choice these knights had made. Even if Gilgamesh is powerful, they shouldn't have left him alone. Even if Rudeus is strong, as a father, he wouldn't let him fight alone against an unknown creature.

"We'll only interfere if necessary. We're not on his level, after all," Falken, who had been healed by Kaelen, watched closely what was happening below.

"Just pay attention and don't speak."

...

"All the gods believe they have the authority to meddle in my decisions, come to kill those who will be something to me in the future, or try to wage wars against me." Gilgamesh, who had ceased to be as arrogant as before due to Eris's presence, today once again showed his eyes to the world, releasing an aura so arrogant that even the gods bowed before him.

"Come, EA..."

As he uttered those words, a golden ripple shone intensely on the ground, and a pressure that shook the surroundings began to unconsciously emanate. The sky turned black, crimson lightning flashed, and a bladeless sword appeared in Gilgamesh's hand, releasing an aura of power that could crush any god.

"What must I prove for you to patiently wait in your place until I decide to visit you personally?"

At this moment, Gilgamesh looked down at the gods, demonstrating that with his presence alone, he could crush them without leaving any trace of their past, present, or future.

His divinity was omnipotent, making even monsters or demons unable to raise their gaze to his eyes.

No one was worthy of looking at him at the same level, at least not here; he hadn't met anyone worthy of even calling a friend.

"This sword can only be used by me, a unique existence in this universe, incapable of being surpassed, and suitable only for a ruler."

The weapon Gilgamesh held had an abnormal shape that didn't fit the typical classification of a sword in this world. It was something that existed before the concept that this world called a sword, so it couldn't truly be called a sword, nor did it have the shape of a known blade.

As Gilgamesh held his sword by the hilt, a stream of energy began to surround him, growing stronger with each passing second. As the energy concentrated, the tip of the sword itself began to spin in a spiral.

Boom!

As the ground sank, Gilgamesh soared directly into the sky and looked down at the motionless monster below him.

"How much will be enough to not destroy this world?" Gilgamesh raised his Ea sword, which had the form of a cylindrical pillar, like a drill, composed of three rotating segments engraved with crimson cuneiform letters that spun slowly in alternating directions.

The same weapon from the universe...

This was the first time Gilgamesh would use his most trusted weapon in combat, the one with which he had killed numerous apostles in his past life with the power of a god. An weapon with which he had pulverized divine, ancient, and cosmic beasts.

Boom!

The aura forming around Gilgamesh was enough to completely obliterate a city the size of Roa, but he didn't stop there; he decided that the power he would unleash would be even greater.

Both the monster on the ground and other powerful divinities in this world felt the terrifying power Gilgamesh was releasing at this moment. Now, very few could match the power about to be unleashed.

Gilgamesh only looked at that monster, and through his eyes, he saw the Human God lurking like a shadow behind that individual. Lowering his weapon, he muttered only a few words, "Enuma Elish!"

Boom!

The thunderous power unleashed was a strange combination of energies, all concentrated and directed toward a specific location with brutality. The energy of the attack swept across the plains and shot forward.

Boom!

Any response attack would be reduced to nothing, disappearing from reality. This attack, seemingly originating from a god, completely pulverized the enemy, and to those nearby, it seemed like the end of the world.

"Is that attack from a mere human?!" Paul fell to the ground with no strength in his legs, and the others were no different. Never before in their lives had they seen such a terrifying attack capable of annihilating an entire city.

A loud explosion echoed, and a hole as deep as an abyss was being created on the ground due to Gilgamesh's unstoppable attack.

Those far away threw themselves to the ground, animals fled in panic, and the wind severely damaged the nearby village houses.

On the ground, after Gilgamesh had released only 1% of his power with Ea, a massive crater lay where it seemed to have no end. The monster that had caused so much trouble to Falken's group had disappeared without a trace.

Spectators watched this scene with pale expressions. Even the Emperor Dragon's greatest attack couldn't cause this magnitude of damage. Moreover, it seemed that the just-released attack had no weak form that others could defend against.

"Once again, Human God, you have lost..." Gilgamesh said this indifferently as he walked toward the edge of the crater.

However, as if something, an entity, wanted to continually present problems to Gilgamesh, a white figure appeared not too far away. Without showing any negative intentions, he saluted respectfully and said, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, my lord. My name is Almanfi of the Bright, and my lord Pelagius Dola sent me to investigate what happened in this place."

Gilgamesh didn't sheath his Ea but instead looked directly at this masked man, who seemed arrogantly demanding information about what had happened, as if this were his backyard into which he could enter without any problem.
