We Are All Bound by Something

Boom!

Gilgamesh remained indifferent in the air, levitating as if he dominated everything around him, while his right arm tightly held his divine weapon EA.

"Who the hell are you?!" A cold voice echoed in the confined space, not only stirring the undead but also the movements of Gilgamesh, who continued to advance slowly.

"You are not worthy to know my name. As a being from another timeline, you have endured much hiding in this place." Gilgamesh fixed his gaze on what seemed to be a deep cave, beside a freshwater lake. The surroundings, due to the intense battle that had unfolded, were in chaos, but Gilgamesh seemed unconcerned as he scorned his enemy who dared not show his face.

"You have not existed in my timeline, so you should be a reincarnate..." A figure rose into the air at Gilgamesh's level. His aura had become non-existent for a very long time; his tattered skin seemed like it could break at any moment.

Gilgamesh knew that this man did not belong to this timeline, just like the ancient dragon that had helped. Yet, for some reason, he had not died after violating the rules of his own existence. It must be said that they were not gods; their power could barely be considered within the standards of the strong.

"My name is Aligor. I haven't met you, but apparently, after looking at me with those special eyes, you know everything about me..." Aligor looked at Gilgamesh calmly, as if he were not here to kill him and end the existence of this place.

"After coming to this world, my only purpose is to rest. I don't want chaos, and definitely, the existence of this place is extremely chaotic. Can you understand my point in coming to this place?" Gilgamesh asked as he waved his sword, highly intrigued by this man, so he remained unusually calm.

Aligor's eyes flashed with a cold light. Seeing Gilgamesh's attitude, he knew that this man had not used his full strength a moment ago; he was holding back, just like those people waiting just outside the portal.

He was also surprised because only a true God could create a visual phenomenon that could even split space, so he could not be too careless.

"My goal since I was little is immortality. A certain being told me that you might have a way to achieve it, but I'm still doubtful... Do you have any way to achieve immortality?" Aligor asked with greedy eyes.

Gilgamesh smiled. The mysteries of life seemed very boring for him to investigate. He had no desire to waste his life delving into things that eventually came to him, like this unknown yet visionary being.

"Immortality is a gift. I understood that when I abandoned that insatiable pursuit that you are taking to a completely different level..." Gilgamesh tilted his head and saw the undead approaching him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Waves after waves of explosions echoed as Gilgamesh opened several golden ripples that were as easy to release as breathing.

"There are certain people who are worthy and others who are not. Immortality is not something to be asked for but earned through your own merits. Why do you come to me begging for something as vain as living forever?" Gilgamesh asked with a disdainful look.

Aligor smiled naturally and immediately said, "Do you really think everyone has the opportunity to live eternally? You should know a lot about life to say those words, but I don't even want to think that you will be so arrogant as to disdain my dreams."

"How to travel between dimensions?" Gilgamesh asked as he stared at Aligor.

"Let's make a deal. You help me seek immortality, and I'll tell you how I came to this timeline..."

"I'm not interested," said Gilgamesh as he held the head of an undead and crushed it forcefully.

"Hey, you'll only seek a slow death at my hands." Aligor shouted loudly. The buzzing sounds of the air were accompanied by crashes. A powerful battle aura was released; this was nothing Gilgamesh had not seen before.

Rooooaaarr!

Skeletal claws emerged from the ground trying to strike Gilgamesh, but with a simple swing of his EA sword, he destroyed everything. He made it look so simple that it exerted pressure on Aligor.

"Well, let's first see if you have the chance to withstand my strength." At that moment, Aigor's body, resembling that of a demon, transformed as his aura exploded furiously.

Explosions resonated in the dimension, causing everything to break.

Boom!

Under Aligor's attacks, as strong as the weight of a mountain, Gilgamesh smiled and used only his right hand. The only thing visible amid the dust were Gilgamesh's golden swords, flying from side to side.

"Hahaha!" Gilgamesh shouted as he fell to the ground, pushed by blows that were actually strong, but there was no injury or wound on his body, creating an unimaginable dignity under his strength.

"I still find it curious, but even if I have less life than some beings like you, I remain unparalleled under the same sky. No one can compare to my greatness, none while I live is destined to be greater than me," said Gilgamesh arrogantly.

"You have never known a limit!" Aligor's expression turned cold.

Immediately afterward, more cracks resonated in Aligor's body. Certainly, he could kill anyone in the world except for a few, but he was certainly one of the most powerful beings Gilgamesh had faced.

Crack! Crack!

At this point, the cracks were much more evident on Aligor's face. His life in this timeline was being punished, going to the limit of his strength and will.

"You're dying, why don't we stop?" Gilgamesh asked as he looked at Aligor, who returned to his normal appearance.
