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.

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.

Speaking with the Dead

As they entered the cemetery, suddenly, combat experts like Eris and Roxy immediately felt as if dazzling eyes were watching them from the caves around the mountains and burrows in the earth. All those eyes, staring at them intently, and in a matter of seconds, hundreds of undead emerged.

Seeing the sudden arrival of the undead caused the group to be on high alert.

Boom!

However, at that very moment, Gilgamesh raised his hand, and the chains from the sky shot out at great speed, creating a mysterious rhythmic sound with golden ripples.

"Disappear before me, you damned filthy creatures!" Gilgamesh released a powerful shout that shook the earth, and the chains, feeling the authority, began to tear apart the undead.

The sound of the chains moving was incredibly powerful, and the golden color soon illuminated the surroundings.

Within the harmonization of the two distinct sounds, the atmosphere suddenly became terrified. It was as if someone in the darkness was swallowed by the golden color of the chains from the sky, causing everyone nearby to look in that direction.

But the sound of the chains along with Gilgamesh's cry echoed in the skies, and this immediately caused the undead to retreat slowly like frightened ghosts hiding in caves and underground.

Seeing the result of this scene, Gilgamesh's group finally understood the true power of the chains from the sky. Of course, Cunsfiel already knew this.

"Anyone who dares to stand in my way will be reduced to ashes. I will not only destroy their bodies but also their souls! Whether gods or demons, bow your heads and hide like the filthy scum you are!" The chains from the sky wrapped around Gilgamesh's right arm.

Many of the chains penetrated the earth and split two mountains; the calm rivers began to vibrate, and this disturbance caused many to be afraid. Even large undead that lingered in this place felt intimidated.

Coming out and bothering Gilgamesh had caused such a great turbulence that it split the earth for several kilometers around. At that moment, as a form of defense, the cemetery gathered truly dark energy that flowed along with the earth. This began to gather around Gilgamesh's group.

Seeing the death energy gathering at their side, everyone went into defense mode. If suddenly buried by the earth, they could hardly react with effective attacks.

At that moment, the chains from the sky began to embed themselves in the ground, surrounding Gilgamesh's group and emitting vibrant sounds. This made the earth beneath their feet vibrate.

Speaking from the point of view of strangeness, when the chains began to vibrate, the earth alongside that energy had no way to approach.

As they delved into the cemetery, the death energy became more severe. The places with a high density of undead inside the cemetery were normally weak, but as they went deeper, these undead became increasingly powerful. However, nothing could penetrate the chains from the sky.

Gilgamesh, who walked without any fear on his face, began to pass by mountains and tread on lakes. Step by step, they moved forward, encountering numerous undead consisting of humans, beastmen, and demons. Moreover, all these beings were extremely powerful.

Nevertheless, with Gilgamesh manipulating the chains from the sky while moving his hand, he prevented all these undead from approaching. No one attacked Gilgamesh's group; instead, after a few seconds, they returned to their domains.

They saw many graves along the way... Many tombs were placed on mysterious cliffs. Some floated in the water, and others sank beneath the lake, while a few lay on top of the bone trees.

Seeing all these old and new coffins protruding from the graves sent shivers down Gilgamesh's group. This place called the Ancient Cemetery was entirely appropriate because there are many graves here.

They were also curious to know if there were corpses in the coffins, alive or dead, but without Gilgamesh's permission, they didn't dare to take any hasty action.

In fact, they began to wonder how those chains moved on their own. Moreover, how were they originally constructed?

They passed through countless mountains and rivers before stopping in a flat valley. This valley was like an abandoned wheat field; it had a very methodical appearance.

"This will be the first chosen one..." Standing in this valley, Gilgamesh, with his eyes shining, assessed this place and made a decision.

At that moment, there were quite a few wandering undead outside, their eyes emitting a faint and hellish light. They were like the eyes of the dead or evil demons, giving others a terrible sense of crisis.

Standing inside, they were a bit nervous. Not out of fear, but out of caution, not wanting to have the chance to make a mistake.

"My name is Gilgamesh, King of Kings, Emperor of humanity, and future immortal being in this world. I plan to conquer the whole world under a doctrine of self-love and unique judgment; everyone will have the right to think." Gilgamesh's words were as authoritative as if he were the Emperor of the world at that moment.

However, the next event was even more terrifying.

Boom!

Deafening noises rang out, and the earth seemed to open. Suddenly, the entire earth in the valley lit up, and wave after wave of bluish light spilled out, intertwining into a large magical formation. This formation shone brightly, and clear sounds of swords continuously occurred with a dominant aura like tidal waves.

In a blink of an eye, with a crack, a coffin floated slowly from the ground. This coffin was violet. It was evident that this coffin had experienced countless moons.

Seeing this coffin, the people behind Gilgamesh had never before thought they witnessed events like these.

"What do you have to offer?" Finally, an ancient voice came from the coffin.

Gilgamesh opened his hand and said slowly, "A fruit that can cleanse your soul!"

Crack!

Finally, the coffin slowly opened, and the character inside took a step out.

At that moment, everyone clearly saw the incomparably old centaur. He wore silver armor while holding a finned sword in his hand.

Although the old centaur had his eyes closed and no power in his body, there was an endless and majestic battle aura that caused others to tremble.

"A demon lord..." Roxy whispered softly as she looked at the centaur race.

When Roxy uttered these words, the centaur opened his eyes and shot a sinister aura toward Roxy.

"How dare you, you damn filth?!"

Boom!

Gilgamesh unleashed his murderous intent that split the earth and divided the skies, all that bloody aura made the centaur unconsciously tremble and fall to his knees.

"You filthy wretch! Now you will answer my questions if you don't want to die this instant." Gilgamesh said solemnly while his body emitted a suffocating heat. "If you are willing to answer my questions, nod your head; otherwise, I will kill you on the spot."

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the centaur touched his heart as his body throbbed.

"Give me that fruit, and I will answer whatever you want..." After sitting down, the old centaur uttered those words.

Gilgamesh then threw a fruit of very low quality due to the disrespect from this centaur.

"Now I will ask my question..." Gilgamesh looked coldly at the centaur and asked, "Do you know anything about the Human God also known as Hitogami?"
