Bai Ye shrugged and looked at Li Jia Yi, saying, "Since we've run into each other, one of us dies this time!"
As Bai Ye spoke, he raised the Xuanyuan Sword.
Bai Ye had long wanted to kill Li Jia Yi.
This guy was stronger and more troublesome than Bai Ye had imagined, and most importantly...
Some of the traits Li Jia Yi displayed perfectly fit the description of "promising future." From Bai Ye's past life experience, if nothing unexpected happened, Li Jia Yi would definitely live to the very end of the world battlefield.
Therefore, in Bai Ye's eyes, Li Jia Yi was clearly a potential threat, someone who might become an enemy in the future, and Bai Ye had no intention of holding back.
However, this was also strange.
Because, Bai Ye had never heard of Li Jia Yi's name in his previous life, which meant Li Jia Yi did not survive his past life, perhaps suffering some accident along the way.
So, in this life...
Bai Ye grinned and said, "I'll be your accident!"
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand slashed forward fiercely.
Golden sword energy appeared, sweeping across the ground, cutting a trench in it as it sped towards Li Jia Yi.
Semiramis immediately stepped in front of Li Jia Yi and waved her hand forward. Then, a huge Dragon Tooth Warrior stepped forward, attempting to block the golden sword energy.
Unfortunately...
It was useless!
Rumble!
The instant the Dragon Tooth Warrior collided with the golden sword energy, a deafening roar erupted, and the Dragon Tooth Warrior's body shattered, collapsing into countless bone fragments.
Semiramis reached forward, a circle of magic crests appeared, and three magic bullets shot out from it, heading directly for Bai Ye and Gilgamesh.
Bai Ye casually swung his sword. The moment the Xuanyuan Sword met the magic bullets, it cleaved them in two.
As for Gilgamesh, he didn't even move. The magic bullets struck his golden armor, then shattered, leaving Gilgamesh completely unharmed.
Li Jia Yi glanced at Semiramis, signaling her to proceed according to their plan.
Semiramis nodded, then stepped forward. With a lift of her hand, a goblet of vibrant red wine appeared in her hand.
The Wine of the Proud King!
Semiramis's Noble Phantasm!
As Semiramis slowly tilted the wine goblet, the red liquid poured out.
In the banquet hall, a large area of magic crests lit up, emitting a crimson glow.
A low voice sounded from the center of the magic crests, and then...
Within the light, a massive black serpent slowly emerged.
The serpent was enormous. Even with only half of its body summoned from the magic crests, it was over ten meters long. Its front half reared up, and its back was covered in sharp scales.
Furthermore, on either side of its body were two arms, possessing dragon-like claws.
The Tiamat Serpent, a creature from Babylonian legend, the most powerful monster created by the monstrous deity Tiamat, one of the apexes of fantastical beings.
Semiramis looked forward and said, "Bashmu, poison them!"
Following Semiramis's command, the Tiamat Serpent instantly moved, charging towards Bai Ye and Gilgamesh.
Bai Ye looked at Gilgamesh and asked, "This thing is highly poisonous, right?"
Gilgamesh nodded.
Bai Ye nodded, then decided not to dodge.
The next instant...
The Tiamat Serpent rushed in front of Bai Ye, opened its gaping maw, and spewed out a cloud of green poisonous mist, instantly engulfing Bai Ye.
Semiramis smiled with satisfaction.
As a beast of the apex, even Semiramis couldn't fully summon the Tiamat Serpent, only manage to summon half of it.
This demonstrated the Tiamat Serpent's power. No one could survive being enveloped by its poisonous mist.
Unless they utilized the power of the three magic crests.
The magic crests not only made Servants obedient but also contained immense magical power, capable of temporarily boosting a Servant's strength.
With Gilgamesh's power, amplified by the magic of the crests, he might be able to withstand the Tiamat Serpent.
Semiramis thought to herself, then looked at Gilgamesh.
However, Gilgamesh showed no intention of making a move.
Then...
The next moment.
Bai Ye casually walked out of the poisonous mist, looking unconcerned.
Semiramis's eyes widened instantly.
"Don't you understand yet?" Bai Ye said, "Poison doesn't affect me."
Semiramis suddenly realized why her previous traps had been ineffective; the toxic mud balls had had no effect on Bai Ye.
But this was Bashmu!
A legendary venomous snake, and even its poison was ineffective?
Li Jia Yi, however, remained calm and said indifferently, "Don't panic, the Tiamat Serpent's weapon isn't just poison!"
Hearing Li Jia Yi's voice, Semiramis quickly calmed down.
Indeed, the Tiamat Serpent's weapon was not solely its poison; its massive body was also a weapon.
Semiramis glanced at the Tiamat Serpent, and then it charged towards Bai Ye.
Then...
Clang, clang, clang!
The crisp sound of chains echoed.
Chains of Heaven!
Gilgamesh summoned the Chains of Heaven, and then countless chains appeared from all directions, firmly binding the Tiamat Serpent and rendering it immobile.
"Insects," Gilgamesh sneered, "Did you think I didn't exist?"
The moment Gilgamesh spoke, Bai Ye swung the Xuanyuan Sword forward.
The sword's cry vibrated.
The space ahead was suddenly cleaved open, and a black rift appeared. Then, with a "噗" sound, the Tiamat Serpent's body was effortlessly severed, and large amounts of venom splashed outwards.
Pools of venom appeared on the ground, emitting white smoke.
Semiramis gritted her teeth.
Li Jia Yi's voice rang out, "Don't worry, don't forget, this is within the Hanging Gardens of Babylon!"
Semiramis nodded.
Within the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Semiramis's strength would be enhanced in all aspects.
All magical arrays used by Semiramis would be upgraded, her opponent's magic crests would be nullified, and she could even deploy array magic within the domain.
Furthermore, Semiramis could summon spatial chains and even temporarily break free from the spiritual form of a heroic spirit, gaining a physical body.
Even if her opponent was the King of Heroes...
Within the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Semiramis was confident she could fight.
At the same time, Li Jia Yi said to Fuuma Kotaro, "You're in charge of covering her!"
Fuuma Kotaro nodded resolutely.
