Chapter 1224 Exposed
“Wake up!”
Sun Wukong said in a deep voice, his right hand clenched into a fist, carrying terrifying power, and smashed it into Gilgamesh’s abdomen!
Boom——!!
An invisible shockwave exploded from the black throne, instantly sweeping through every corner of the courtyard.
Gilgamesh groaned, painfully hunching over, heavy chains restraining his body, making clanking sounds.
“This king will kill you!! This king will definitely kill you!!” Gilgamesh roared again.
Boom——!
Sun Wukong frowned and threw another punch, trying to pull Gilgamesh back to reality from his chaos.
This time, clarity still didn’t appear in his eyes.
He struggled to raise his head, those turbid eyes filled with pain, staring fixedly at Sun Wukong before him:
“This king… will… kill you…”
“This king… is the ruler of Uruk…”
“Those who harm… my Uruk… citizens… die!!”
Sun Wukong stared at Gilgamesh’s almost distorted face, frozen in place.
…
“Gilgamesh…”
In the vast desert, Lin Qiye sensed the situation in the hospital, his brows tightly furrowed.
This time Gilgamesh’s symptoms were more severe than before… Damn, what exactly happened?!
Just then, as if he saw something, his eyes narrowed, looking toward the horizon.
Surging flames rose from behind the distant black city walls, turning half the sky red. Countless human wails and sounds of collapsing buildings faintly reached him.
“Something’s happened in Wu City?!”
Lin Qiye’s heart sank.
In his mind, connecting to Gilgamesh’s symptoms just now, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
It’s worth noting that the people living in Wu City are all descendants of the ancient Uruk kingdom, and the blood flowing in their veins is all from Uruk… In a sense, Wu City is a part of the Uruk kingdom left behind from countless ages ago.
Could it be… that Gilgamesh’s illness is related to Wu City?
Lin Qiye gritted his teeth, pushing his speed to the limit, rushing toward Wu City’s walls!
Moments later, he landed on the city wall, looking down at the scene inside the city, his pupils slightly contracting.
The once peaceful and harmonious Wu City was now covered in flames. Numerous brutally killed corpses and divine artifacts that had lost their luster lay scattered across the streets. Blood stained the ancient stone bricks, a horrifying sight.
“This is…”
Lin Qiye murmured.
Wails and cries came from the other side of the city. Lin Qiye turned to look and saw many Wu City residents fleeing in panic toward the city gates, occasionally looking back, as if being chased by death itself.
On top of the collapsed building ruins, a figure holding the [Scepter] in his left hand and the [Holy Grail] in his right, slowly emerged from the fire.
Countless blood threads floated in the air, falling into the [Holy Grail], turning into crimson wine that gently swayed along the cup walls.
His lips curled slightly upward.
“That should be enough…” he raised the [Holy Grail] in his right hand and spoke leisurely:
“I wish, remove the mark.”
Dreamlike light flashed from the dark golden cup walls, and the crimson wine swirling inside suddenly dropped a notch.
At the same time, a dull breaking sound came from within his body, and a mark dissolved into points of light, dispersing in the air.
He let out a long breath, his expression relaxing somewhat.
“Number 22?” Lin Qiye saw that face and frowned deeply.
He really got the [Scepter]?
And where did the [Holy Grail] come from?
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Qiye’s mind. After hesitating for a moment, a brilliant magical light flashed, and he transformed back into Myles, flying straight toward Number 22.
Whatever the case, he needed to stop the slaughter of Wu City residents first.
Number 22 was chasing residents fleeing toward the city gates when his gaze suddenly focused, turning to look behind him.
“Myles?” he asked in surprise.
“Number 22, what exactly is happening here?” Lin Qiye walked up to him and asked solemnly.
Number 22 didn’t answer Lin Qiye’s question, but instead looked behind him and asked:
“Where are the other agents? Did you find the [Holy Grail]?”
“We didn’t find it, there was a problem with my prophecy.”
“Oh…” Number 22’s eyes narrowed.
“Why are you killing these natives?”
“As you can see, I’m accumulating sacrifices for the [Holy Grail],” Number 22 shrugged and said, “I’ve already used a wish to remove the divine mark in my body, and now… I want to make another wish.”
“What wish?”
Number 22 stared at Lin Qiye, his lips curling into a smile,
“I wish… reveal your true form!”
The moment Number 22’s words fell, the [Holy Grail] flashed with light, and in the next instant, Lin Qiye’s body suddenly distorted!
The magical light shattered from Lin Qiye’s body surface. As the points of light dispersed, his true appearance was exposed to the air.
Lin Qiye’s face immediately darkened.
“As I suspected, you’re not the prophet Myles.” Number 22 seemed to have anticipated this, sneering,
“If I hadn’t sensed the [Holy Grail] in advance, I might have really been fooled by your lies… I wondered why you went to such lengths to rescue me from the dungeon. Now I see your targets were the agents who left with you?
They’re probably all dead by now, aren’t they?”
Number 22 stared at Lin Qiye’s face, pausing for a moment, “Who… exactly are you?”
Lin Qiye looked at him silently, and after a moment of silence, said:
“I am…”
Swoosh——!
Before Lin Qiye could finish speaking, both he and Number 22 simultaneously launched lightning-fast attacks at each other!
Who Lin Qiye was didn’t really matter to Number 22. He just wanted to catch Lin Qiye at his most relaxed moment and end his life, turning him into another sacrifice.
And Lin Qiye similarly wanted to seize the opportunity to kill his opponent before Number 22 could use the [Holy Grail] and [Scepter], these two “supreme” divine artifacts.
The two palms collided in mid-air, and two divine domains—one black, one pink—rapidly spread outward!
Invisible gusts howled, and both men were forced back several steps by each other’s spiritual power. Number 22 stared at his palm in shock, as if pondering:
“The Night Goddess’s divine domain… it’s you? You’re the dual-god agent Lin Qiye?”
Number 22 exclaimed in surprise, “The intelligence you gave us was actually true?!”
Seeing his identity exposed, Lin Qiye no longer bothered to disguise himself and calmly replied:
“True lies are more believable… aren’t they?”
Number 22 looked Lin Qiye up and down, light flickering in his eyes. He licked his somewhat chapped lips and sneered:
“Interesting… Just as I obtained two ‘supreme’ divine artifacts, the dual-god agent delivers himself to my doorstep. My luck today is truly exceptional.”
