[284] The King Exits
Ozymandias was well aware of one thing.
That was, he hadn't completely gotten rid of DIO yet; occasionally, he would pop up, just like he did a moment ago. However, most of the time, Ozymandias didn't care and found it inconsequential.
As long as he was in this temple, he had absolute control!
Boom —
Just at that moment, another roar echoed from outside. The temple began to collapse amidst the rumbling, and it didn't stop until the top part above Ozymandias completely collapsed.
Then — As if it were fragments of spacetime, in just a few seconds, everything returned to normal. The previous collapse seemed like a simple illusion.
"Haha, I've said it before. Such attacks are nothing! Completely inconsequential!"
"Tarasque —!"
In the next moment, taking advantage of this moment, Martha and Tarasque rushed to Ozymandias from both sides.
"It's over like this!"
Bang —
"What —?"
"Haha, I just said, 'such attacks are nothing!'" Ozymandias ignored the wound that pierced his chest, grabbed Martha's wrist, and said, "It's over! Disappear, Ruler!"
Martha's expression changed.
Indeed...
Was she disappearing?
"What... is this?" At this moment, Martha had only one thought in her mind... she hadn't finished reading her manga.
It's a pity; she had to disappear at a time like this.
"Oh... isn't she entering the Holy Grail?" Ozymandias looked at the disappearing Martha, and the wound on her chest instantly healed. Martha's blow had pierced his spiritual core, but it didn't destroy his immortality.
What intrigued him more was that Martha didn't enter the Holy Grail but directly broke into the Throne of Heroes. "So, this is the Ruler class... not bad. No matter what happens, I'm sure I can't be that!"
"Hahaha —" he continued, lifting his head and looking through the pyramid, seeing the golden king outside, "It's over like this, next is your turn! Gilgamesh!"
...
"Hehahaha —! Wrong! It's over for you!"
Gilgamesh laughed, "Did you not notice while being distracted by that Saint's battle? It's now — let me show you! The true brilliance of EA!"
The charging was complete.
A massive amount of magical energy filled EA.
This would be the most powerful strike since Gilgamesh descended, slightly weaker than the one from the Age of Gods!
"Oh no —!"
Ozymandias's face changed.
Indeed, this attack could not be blocked by the current temple. But —
"Haha! You think the gigantic lightning ball from earlier was my Noble Phantasm?" Ozymandias laughed, and golden light began to appear in the sky.
On the ground.
The pyramid started trembling and floated towards the sky bit by bit.
"This is my true Noble Phantasm! My ultimate move — take it —"
Gilgamesh's expression also became serious.
"The Grand Temple is not just one but two, right?" Arash, who was preparing to launch his Noble Phantasm to help Ozymandias, was slightly stunned.
Sky and earth.
Two pyramids.
And in the middle was that King of Heroes — Gilgamesh.
"Humming —"
In the sky, one after another light circle appeared.
Countless shields were thrown out all at once.
Now, Gilgamesh's entire attention was on his Noble Phantasm, Enuma Elish. There was no spare energy to see what treasures he had thrown out, no spare energy to choose the right treasures to radiate their proper brilliance.
This strike was already at full power!
Even with numerous magus from the Cathedral as magical energy supplies, it was already the limit. Some of those people might have died now due to the excessive withdrawal of magical energy.
To recreate such a move again, relying solely on his magical energy wasn't enough... not completely impossible, even surpassing the power of this strike, he could do it with his treasures.
However —
It was difficult to recreate such an opportunity.
If this strike didn't go out now, who would distract Ozymandias's attention in the temple!
At that time, the real victory would be unpredictable.
"All my attention is poured into this one strike —!"
Gilgamesh shouted, "Rejoice — EA! Before you is a formidable enemy! End his existence — let this battle come to an end!"
"Star of Creation that Split Heaven and Earth, Enuma Elish—!!!"
Boom —
The Sword of Rupture roared like never before.
A massive torrent swallowed the world and roared towards the temple that was charging.
Facing this situation, even the King of Heroes couldn't hold back to check on the Holy Grail's condition. In other words —
With one slight mistake, the Holy Grail might disappear under this attack.
"Let me see, whether my Noble Phantasm is stronger or you'll die under the attack of my temple —" Ramses II laughed, "That's right! Victory has been destined long ago. The only one who can win is me —! Activate!"
"Ramesseum Tentyris—!!!"
Boom —
The temple collided with the torrent, piercing through the shields.
This strike.
Everyone had exerted all their efforts.
There could only be one winner; there wouldn't be a second outcome.
Both kings were extremely certain of one thing —
The winner would be themselves!
...
"Ugh —!"
Breaking free from Gilgamesh's restraint, Enkidu, who was already covered in wounds, deeply breathed in. The wounds were slowly healing; as long as his core wasn't damaged, these injuries were negligible.
But...
His current focus wasn't here.
In the sky, a radiant light appeared —
The dazzling light made countless people temporarily lose their vision, but Enkidu didn't —
He stared into the light; he wanted to see... wanted to see the birth of the victor!
