Chapter 1231 Resurrection, Gilgamesh
Praise——!
The sword light pierced through the clouds, instantly creating a large hole in the thick cloud layer.
In mid-air, Lin Qiye released the Sword Saint’s sword intent, and without looking back, immediately mounted the [Somersault Cloud] and sped away into the distance!
He knew clearly in his heart that this sword left by Zhou Ping could kill the Thunder Beast, but definitely not Gibil.
After all, the Thunder Beast was just a divine beast, with combat power at most reaching the sub-divine level, but Gibil was a genuine Major God. Trying to eliminate him with just a trace of sword intent left by Zhou Ping was nothing but a fool’s dream.
Facts proved that Lin Qiye’s choice was correct.
By the time Lin Qiye had ridden the [Somersault Cloud] far away and the surging sword intent tide in the sky had dissipated, a blood-covered figure slowly walked out from the flames.
Gibil’s red armor had shattered by more than half, with a horrific sword wound cutting from his shoulder all the way down to his lower abdomen, exposing bone. He looked extremely miserable, with fresh blood dripping from his red armor into the flames, making sizzling sounds.
“That proxy…”
Gibil’s furious eyes swept over the area below, not finding Lin Qiye’s figure, his chest heaving violently.
He snorted coldly, about to pursue again when an elderly voice reached his ears from afar.
“The sacrifices collected by Inanna are enough, come back.”
Gibil frowned, hesitated for a moment, but still stopped and turned to fly toward the crescent moon boat.
…
“He’s not chasing.”
After confirming Gibil had turned back, Lin Qiye let out a long breath.
He looked down at the wooden chopstick broken in two in his hand, confusion appearing in his eyes.
It had been at least twenty seconds since he materialized this chopstick, yet it still hadn’t disappeared like the [Holy Grail] and the boots… Could it be that what determines the duration of these items isn’t their tier?
The light blue [Star Coin] spun increasingly slower, finally hovering vertically on the back of Lin Qiye’s hand, and after a moment, began to rotate clockwise again.
The broken chopstick in Lin Qiye’s hand disappeared without a trace the instant the [Star Coin] changed direction.
So it was indeed because of the clockwise rotation…
Lin Qiye temporarily put away the [Star Coin] and was about to step forward when a thunderous roar sounded from the sky!
Crack——!!
A thick bolt of lightning, as if it had eyes, struck straight down on Lin Qiye’s head. Caught off guard, dense electric currents surged through every inch of his skin.
In less than half a second, Lin Qiye’s face was charred black and his hair stood on end.
Fortunately, his physical strength was extraordinarily remarkable, so even taking a direct lightning strike wouldn’t be life-threatening.
Someone’s trying to kill me?!
Lin Qiye’s first reaction was that someone was plotting against him. His mental energy instantly swept the surroundings, but apart from a thundercloud that happened to be floating in the sky, there wasn’t a single human figure.
“No one…” Lin Qiye searched repeatedly, puzzled, “Could it really just be a coincidence?”
He hesitated for a moment, then continued to step forward. As soon as his foot touched the ground, the sand in front of him rapidly sank in a spiral, swallowing his foot.
Quicksand?
Lin Qiye was stunned and tried to pull his foot out of the quicksand, but the more he struggled, the more he sank.
The surrounding sand quickly collapsed, and in the space of a breath, the sand within a radius of eight or nine kilometers rapidly flowed with Lin Qiye at the center, like a huge desert monster frantically swallowing his body.
Lin Qiye had never seen or even heard of quicksand on such a large scale!
Lin Qiye gritted his teeth and drew [Zhan Bai] from his waist, his form slipping into the void, finally escaping from the sea of quicksand.
However, as soon as he returned from the void, an even thicker bolt of lightning struck again, precisely hitting his forehead!
Lin Qiye: …
In the next twenty minutes, Lin Qiye suffered nearly fifteen lightning strikes, six major quicksand incidents, was caught in three divine weapon battles, and while trying to stay away from the chaos, even accidentally cut his finger with the [Kusanagi Sword].
Fortunately, Lin Qiye’s strength and physical qualities were exceptional. If it had been an ordinary “Klein,” they would probably have died more than a dozen times by now.
If Lin Qiye hadn’t verified countless times, he would truly suspect someone was secretly trying to harm him.
“Just plain bad luck… Could it be a side effect of using the [Star Coin]?” the charred Lin Qiye wondered aloud.
He took a deep breath and continued walking forward. After some time, his mental perception suddenly detected that crescent moon boat again, along with the three Sumerian deities.
Lin Qiye abruptly stopped.
How is this possible?
They caught up?!
Lin Qiye quickly looked around. The surrounding environment matched what he had seen before, which meant the three Sumerian deities hadn’t moved at all…
So, amid countless “disasters” that forced him to change direction, he had somehow made a big circle and returned to where he started?
If the previous “misfortunes” were all side effects of using the [Star Coin], then perhaps this situation of circling back was also a result of the side effects?
Lin Qiye drew in a sharp breath.
Lightning strikes, quicksand, divine weapon battles… all these things combined weren’t as deadly as this one instance of getting lost!
Fortunately, the three Sumerian deities didn’t seem to notice Lin Qiye’s presence. They stood in a triangle formation in the sky, gazing at the crescent moon boat.
Lin Qiye’s peripheral vision caught sight of the towering black city wall in the distance. He immediately drew [Zhan Bai] and slipped into the void, rushing toward that black wall.
Now that the entire treasury was under the control of the three gods, no matter which direction he ran, he probably couldn’t escape their grasp. Rather than that, it would be better to hide inside the Black City.
After several major battles, the city wall remained intact, which meant it must be a divine artifact that could perhaps conceal his presence.
In the sky,
As Moon God Nanna’s fingertip gently curved, the crescent moon boat gradually melted, transforming into an overflowing pool of moonlight. The surface of the pool rippled slightly, and vaguely, a figure began to take shape from the bottom of the pool.
Nanna narrowed his eyes and raised his fingertip. That figure slowly floated up from the moonlight pool, exposed under the dim sky.
The moment he saw the figure’s face, Lin Qiye’s heart almost stopped.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
“How is this possible…”
At this moment, the figure rising from the moonlight pool was none other than Gilgamesh, wearing a royal robe and crown!
The hazy moonlight illuminated Gilgamesh’s pale face. His eyes were tightly closed, his expression solemn, with droplets of water falling from the tip of his nose into the moonlight pool, creating ripples.
It was a corpse.
The corpse of the Hero King Gilgamesh, who had ruled the kingdom of Uruk countless ages ago.
Perhaps due to the moonlight pool, this corpse had not decayed despite thousands of years, appearing lifelike under the moonlight, as if merely asleep.
The moment they saw this body, excitement appeared in the eyes of all three Sumerian deities.
“Gilgamesh, before your death you went to great lengths to hide this treasury, not wanting it to fall into our hands. But you never imagined that after countless ages, your corpse would become the key for us to control this treasury.”
“Five ‘Supreme’ divine artifacts, fourteen ‘Major God’ divine artifacts, forty-two ‘Sub-divine’ divine artifacts… your lifelong collection will all become the capital for our Sumerian pantheon’s rise!”
Moon God Nanna, admiring this perfect body, raised the [Holy Grail] in his hand high. The crimson wine swirled against the cup walls, emitting an intoxicating fragrance.
His old and deep voice echoed under the dim sky:
“Gilgamesh… resurrect in flesh!”
