Mushoku Tensei: Defying Divinity

There was a time when Gilgamesh was a simple child, living and dying while always being himself. Reborn in the magnificent city of Uruk, he became a revered King in his final days. His story was forged as that of a man who defied divine authority, ascending to the throne as the Emperor of humanity with the purpose of erasing the marks that the gods had left on people's hearts. On the brink of death, his last thought was that he had fulfilled his duty as the King of Uruk and the Emperor of humanity, living and dying as a mere mortal despite having the opportunity to attain immortality. However, his fate takes an unexpected turn when he suddenly awakens in a completely magical world. He has been reborn in the form of a ten-year-old child, now known as Gilgamesh Asura. His adventure is just beginning in this new world, where he must face unknown challenges and discover the purpose of this new life filled with mysteries and possibilities.

Is that all?

"Yes, you come from the dark world where any creatures, be they humans, elves, dragons, dwarves, or even sea creatures corrupted by darkness, were banished to that place. But with the death of the other worlds and the loss of existing connections with the ancient tree, you somehow managed to connect your world to this place with the help of the ancient tree."

As Gilgamesh spoke these words, his smile was so arrogant that he looked at the dark elf in front of him with utter contempt. There was absolutely no respect in his gaze, as if that insignificant being suddenly meant nothing to him.

"You cursed creature, I will slaughter all of your kingdom and crush the homes of your families!" Alamon shouted with fury coursing through his veins.

Gilgamesh wasn't angered by such a low insult; instead, he revealed a faint smile. With dignity and indifference, he said, "Even if all those at your level want to beg for mercy, I won't grant it when I visit your world. I will completely destroy your star and bury you in the cold void; that's what worthless swine like you and those you live with deserve."

The moon elves knew Gilgamesh was powerful, beyond their comprehension, but not to the extent of single-handedly rivaling all the darkness hiding behind that portal. Against that immense power, even the thousands of elven warriors didn't have the confidence to survive.

While the others couldn't move, Gilgamesh was calmly flying toward the enemy in the sky who seemed unwilling to move from his position for some reason.

"You have a bold tone for someone who could easily die at the hands of our God, but I will kill you and take your head back as a trophy," Alamon held a scythe-like weapon and prepared to attack Gilgamesh, but something unexpected happened.

"Then I'll let you open the portal; I'm curious to see if you are as powerful as you claim to be. If you can open the portal, I'll wait in this place, and you'll see with your own eyes as I crush all of your kind," Gilgamesh said as he pointed to the portal.

"Gilgamesh, we must stop him from opening the portal!" Cirdian, who was holding back the darkness, shouted in panic upon hearing Gilgamesh's reckless intentions.

"You can't always escape destiny; it's better that we deal with these issues now that we have the opportunity," Gilgamesh summoned his golden armor and asked Alamon, "Do you want to try to open the portal?"

Alamon, who saw no deceit in Gilgamesh's gaze, nodded. He said nothing more and suddenly appeared over the wooden portal. Cirdian, who was about to rush to stop him, sweated so much that he immediately wanted to run and prevent it, but a soft voice said, "Don't interfere with Gilgamesh's plans; you will die if you do."

Eris, who was standing in front of the throne on the Vimana, looked at Cirdian and reminded him, "If there's something on Gilgamesh's mind, there's no one who can pull him out of those thoughts, not even us would be useful. Now, you will witness something incredible."

"You are so arrogant that there are no levels to compare you with other humans. I hope you don't regret it once the dark creatures arrive..." Alamon cut his hand, and the blood filled the wooden portal, and suddenly, a massive concentration of mana made the earth tremble.

Alamon had been studying forbidden ancient texts for years and had learned the dark secrets necessary to carry out his plan. Before him, on the ancient tree wood, he had drawn a runic circle with sacrificial blood, surrounded by a horrifying aura. At each of the cardinal points, he had placed cursed artifacts that would serve as anchors for the portal.

Alamon began to recite words in an ancient and forgotten language, words that resonated with ancestral malevolence. His voice was deep and guttural, and his hands shook as he channeled his dark power into the runic circle. As his incantations progressed, the air in the chamber became dense and cold, as if the abyss itself were lurking, eager to enter our world.

Gilgamesh, who had been waiting calmly, murmured, "Medusa and Mordred, present yourselves before me."

As Gilgamesh's words ended, two figures with an aura that dwarfed the heavens appeared at his side and bowed respectfully.

"What are your orders, my lord?" Medusa asked with a calm look, as if the commotion around them didn't concern her.

Gilgamesh smiled and said, "I want you to summon Amy to reinforce the surroundings; in a few minutes, a portal will open, and when I'm in battle, I won't pay attention to anything else but that. So, while you do that, Mordred can take care of Eris and Roxy, who are on my Vimana."

"Do you not need assistance with that?" Mordred wanted to go to the battlefield.

"No, just observe," Gilgamesh smiled as he looked at the huge portal taking shape, and as things had come to this point, he unsheathed his weapon, EA, without any restraint.

Alamon, who was working on the portal, began to feel a powerful presence behind him, and his body began to sweat with concern, wondering if he could open the portal in time.

The runic circle began to glow with a red and ominous light, and Alamon felt a dark, magical force beginning to flow through it. The ground beneath his feet shook as the portal slowly opened, and the sound of inhuman moans and whispers filled the surroundings.

Dark creatures from the abyss began to emerge from the portal, at first as indistinct shadows that writhed and contorted before taking shape. They were nightmare monsters, with twisted bodies and malicious, glowing eyes. They crawled out of the portal, filling the place with their malevolent presence.

"Hahaha! Two hundred years waiting in a lucid and painful dream, but at last, I will ravage this place and crush what I once swore to do."

Octopus-like creatures crawled through the sand, emitting ferocious roars, and the huge whales flying through the air did the same. Behind them, beings similar to Alamon appeared, and after emerging from the portal, they saw Gilgamesh, who maintained a smile on his face.

"Alamon, it took you two hundred years to reopen the gate!" shouted a beast-man shrouded in darkness.

Boom!

But at that moment, hundreds of monsters died in a single strike from Gilgamesh's EA, unleashing powerful attacks like lightning that shattered their bodies and ended their lives.

Roar!

A bloody rain began to pour from the enormous sky-whales. They died as easily as if an adult were fighting a baby, no, the outcome of this battle was even less favorable than that. The initial clashes were like an ant facing a giant kilometers tall, everyone who appeared turned into dark meat paste, torn apart so easily it was terrifying.

Roar!

The dark creatures themselves roared furiously and rushed at Gilgamesh, who with a single swing of his EA sword mowed down thousands of enemies. Red marks on Gilgamesh's body began to appear, and as the enemies increased, the brutality of this confrontation intensified.

"Who is this being?"

The beings of the society were scared. Many gathered their courage and charged toward Gilgamesh with their most powerful weapons before them.

Boom!

But at this moment, Gilgamesh was like a warlord in a total frenzy. He didn't use any techniques; he only used his sword and brute force to shred his rivals. On the top of his head, hundreds of golden ripples began to form, hundreds, and eventually thousands shone in a brilliant tone, pointing toward that dark space where thousands of creatures of darkness emerged every ten seconds like a swarm.

Boom!

Split in two the enemies, hundreds of thousands of swords began to shoot out like an arrow, infused with a divine power that began to shatter hundreds of thousands of enemies who hadn't fully emerged from the portal yet.

"It can't be possible..." Watching this situation as if it were the end of all existence, Alamon knew he had made a grave mistake by opening the portal to this powerful being.

"Ahhhhhh!"

In just a few seconds, Gilgamesh had killed a million dark creatures, and his body shone as he appeared near Amolon, staring at him with a look of contempt and said, "Pathetic beings..."

Boom!

With a swing of Gilgamesh's sword, Alamon was sent hurtling back into the portal, followed by Gilgamesh, who was suddenly stopped by annoying creatures that kept coming out in search of their death.
