Heracles did not answer, only let out an enraged roar.
It was clear that Heracles had responded to Ichila's command, even if Ichila's command was for him to die.
Roar!
Heracles roared, struggling frantically, dragging the iron chains.
Clang, clang, clang!
The chains of Heaven struck the ground repeatedly, making clear ringing sounds.
Heracles walked slowly.
Such heavy steps were utterly meaningless, and it was even difficult for him to reach Gilgamesh.
However…
This was the heart of a warrior!
Heracles would challenge Gilgamesh with his last will.
If he could not kill Gilgamesh, then being killed by Gilgamesh would suffice!
Gilgamesh said, "Then I shall grant your wish."
Behind Gilgamesh, a golden screen of light bloomed again, more intense and fierce than before. Large golden ripples appeared continuously, followed by a volley of weapons.
This was Heracles' last life!
Thwack, thwack, thwack!
Weapon after weapon pierced Heracles' body.
In the blink of an eye, Heracles was impaled like a hedgehog, various weapons completely penetrating his body.
His massive form slowly began to fall forward.
But at this moment…
Gilgamesh waved his hand, and the chains of Heaven wrapped around Heracles' body, pulling him backward until he was pressed against the wall, allowing Heracles to die standing.
Bai Ye glanced at Gilgamesh and said, "I didn't expect someone like you to be merciful?"
Allowing a warrior to die standing was undoubtedly the greatest mercy to that warrior.
"Hmph!" Gilgamesh snorted coldly, then said, "As agreed, the Master is yours. That woman is escaping."
Bai Ye said, "That is my mercy."
As Bai Ye spoke, he raised the Xuanyuan Sword and slashed sideways.
Splitting the Void (A sword that shatters the void and cuts across space to strike the enemy)
As the Xuanyuan Sword was swung, the surrounding space trembled. Immediately, a dark rift appeared behind Ichila.
The rift exuded chaotic mist, void and abyssal, and then sliced through the entire space.
And everything within the space was naturally divided in two at this moment!
Walls, floor, ceiling…
And of course, Ichila's body!
It was also split in two by the fractured space.
Plop!
Ichila fell forward, his eyes wide, blood gushing from his severed body.
"You have killed a participant (Modern Civilization World)."
"You have obtained a fragment of a God Stone."
Bai Ye could have killed Ichila at any moment.
He didn't kill him to allow Heracles to fall before Ichila.
This was Bai Ye's mercy towards Heracles!
"Let's go, we'll find the Holy Grail," Gilgamesh said with a pout. "I'm starting to get tired of this game."
Bai Ye nodded. "Alright!"
For Bai Ye, it was a good thing that Gilgamesh wanted to end everything.
Because, in Bai Ye's opinion, Gilgamesh was powerful, but he was too capricious and had little interest in the Holy Grail. His only guiding principle was his own preferences.
Bai Ye, on the other hand, never cared about the process, as long as he could achieve the desired outcome.
So, what was the outcome Bai Ye desired?
Of course, it was the Holy Grail!
Now that Gilgamesh intended to obtain the Holy Grail and end everything, it was naturally a good thing for Bai Ye.
The two had finally reached a consensus.
On the other side, after speaking, Gilgamesh showed no intention of moving forward, instead spreading his palms to the side.
"Gáe Bulg!"
Gilgamesh spread his palms, and a blood-red spear appeared in his hand, very similar to the one held by Scáthach.
This was the legendary demonic spear, its ability to pierce five stars made it difficult to dodge.
And now…
What Gilgamesh intended to pierce was not a person, but…
This Hanging Gardens of Babylon!
Taking a step forward, Gilgamesh threw Gáe Bulg upward.
The next instant, the blood-red demonic spear exploded, transforming into five blood-red beams of light that shot upward.
Boom, boom, boom!
The five beams of light from the demonic spear continued upward, smashing through the ceiling!
The upper floors began to shatter, and the Dragon Tooth Warriors lining the corridors twisted their bodies, looking towards the direction of the shattered ground.
Then…
As the red light swept past, the bodies of the Dragon Tooth Warriors were continuously blown apart, turning into piles of broken bones.
First floor, second floor, third floor…
Continuous loud noises echoed from within the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Looking from afar outside the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, large clouds of dust and smoke could be seen rising from various floors.
Countless pieces of rubble scattered in the air, falling downward.
"Vimana!"
Gilgamesh waved his hand, summoning his mount, and then, taking Bai Ye with him, soared into the sky.
The Vimana turned into a golden streak of light.
As it ascended, it shattered all the falling debris.
Unstoppable!
Gilgamesh clearly had no interest in slowly wearing down his opponents, nor was there any need to.
The Knight King was an enemy that interested Gilgamesh, but her Master was incapacitated and most likely unable to fight anymore.
Heracles was dead.
As for Astolfo, one of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne, Gilgamesh disdained him.
The only one who could pique Gilgamesh's interest at the moment was the owner of these Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Therefore, Gilgamesh intended to go to the top floor of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to confront him.
Boom!
Shattering the ceiling once more.
Gilgamesh and Bai Ye arrived at the highest level of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
A long and deep corridor exuded an indescribable tranquility.
At the end of the corridor was a large and luxurious gate, through which a sliver of light could be faintly seen.
Bai Ye walked forward first, arriving at the door and pushing it open.
As the gate swung open, a rather luxurious banquet hall appeared before Bai Ye and Gilgamesh.
Dangling crystal chandeliers emitted light, and a red carpet was laid on the floor behind the entrance.
On the other side of the banquet hall was a vast terrace offering a panoramic view of everything outside. At the far end of the red carpet was a throne.
However, the throne was clearly peculiar, facing the wall with its back to the hall.
And in the center of the hall…
A golden ball of light floated in the air, rising and falling continuously, and within that radiance…
Was the Holy Grail!
