Chapter 815 The Hero King Bids Farewell
Chapter 815 The Hero King Bids Farewell
Huangsha Pass.
The north wind howls.
The setting sun cast its last rays.
On the towering city wall, a king dressed in a tattered gray robe looked out over the desolate northwest.
Behind him stood a group of people who had come to see him off.
Gu Tianchen handed Gilgamesh a longsword that shimmered with purple light.
“King Gigi, I heard from Monkey King that your weapon is damaged. This is the divine sword I have forged for you.”
Gilgamesh took the purple longsword from Gu Tianchen, casually twirled it, and said with a smile, "It's quite substantial. I like it very much. Thank you, young Gu."
King Gigi accepted the purple divine sword and sheathed it.
Ye Fan glanced at Gilgamesh and slowly said, "The people of Uruk are living very well in my Great Xia. They have adapted to life here."
"Thank you for your arrangement, Commander Ye. You have relieved me of my worries." Gilgamesh gave Ye Fan a grateful look.
Lin Qiye handed the King's Treasury to Gilgamesh.
"King of Heroes, are you sure you don't need me to come with you?"
Gilgamesh smiled and said, "No need, I can manage on my own. You can keep the Royal Treasury for me for now."
Lin Qiye nodded and said, "Okay, take care."
Gilgamesh looked at the figure carrying the golden cudgel in the crowd.
Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow. "I, Old Sun, am waiting for you to come back. We haven't decided who's the winner yet."
The Hero King and the Monkey King bumped fists, their eyes revealing mutual respect.
"Hehe, once I find the lost origin of the Sumerian pantheon, you monkey will be no match for me."
"Alright, let's wait and see."
"gone."
Gilgamesh waved his hand and flew northwest, disappearing into the mist.
Lin Qiye looked at the departing figure of the Hero King and said silently, "I hope he can find the origin of the Sumerian Kingdom."
Gu Tianchen looked at Lin Qiye and said, "Let's go back to Heaven with Brother Monkey. We have important things to do."
……
In the mist.
Mesopotamian plain.
The desolate land was littered with animal remains.
As far as the eye can see, there is only desolation.
A figure in a gray robe appeared on the plain, sensing the divine power fluctuations emanating from the Sumerian pantheon.
Gilgamesh looked up at the sky.
On the desolate land, a beautiful sky garden appears and disappears in the mist.
Gilgamesh transformed into a streak of purple light and flew towards the Hanging Gardens.
Like a fairy palace, the sky garden is full of flowers and green grass, lush and vibrant, full of life and spirit.
Gilgamesh walked warily across the meadow full of blooming flowers, slowly drawing his longsword from his waist.
Swish!
Suddenly, two vines shot out from the grass and instantly wrapped around Gilgamesh's ankles!
Gilgamesh immediately swung his sword, severing the vines that were binding his ankles, the longsword revealing its sharp edge!
"Who?!"
"Come out to me!"
A grass-green seed, nourished by abundant life energy, quickly grew strong and slowly transformed into a vibrant young woman wearing a grass-green dress.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing on our Sky Garden?!" The girl in blue, with a vibrant face, questioned the slightly weathered-looking man before her.
Gilgamesh gripped his longsword tightly and said in a deep voice, "I am Gilgamesh, the eternal king of Uruk!"
An aura of domineering monarchy emanated from Gilgamesh, but the girl in blue remained completely unaffected.
Upon hearing the name Gilgamesh, the girl in blue smiled and said, "Gilgamesh? The ancient hero-king, I've heard my master mention you."
“My name is Mina, and I am one of the guardians of the Hanging Gardens. This meadow of life is my territory.”
"I bet you've come here to search for the lost origins of the Sumerian pantheon, haven't you?"
Mina looked at Gilgamesh with regret and said, "Sigh, don't bother looking anymore. Our master used the essence of your divine kingdom to create this hanging garden."
"If the Sumerian primordial power is lost, this beautiful hanging garden will also disappear."
"I advise you to leave. Don't go looking for your own death."
Gilgamesh sneered, "Hmph, what a joke. I've taken back what's rightfully mine. Who are you usurpers to point fingers here?"
"My sword never strikes the old or the young. You brat, get out of my way right now!"
Gilgamesh raised his sword and pointed it at Mina.
Mina looked at Gilgamesh and shook her head, a hint of pity flashing in her emerald green eyes.
“Ancient hero king, this is no longer your Uruk, but our Hanging Gardens.”
"Only an adult can lead us to establish a new divine kingdom. If you wish to join, I can introduce you."
"But if you want to seize the origin of the Sumerian pantheon..."
Mina stretched out her hand, and on the boundless green grassland, all the grass instantly raised its head!
In an instant, every blade of green grass was like a sharp sword, gleaming with a cold light!
Gilgamesh looked at Mina, his eyes turning cold.
Divine light flowed around Mina, unleashing a terrifying supreme divine power!
Gilgamesh never expected that the seemingly frail girl before him was actually a supreme god!
Mina raised her hand and waved it, and countless emerald green grass swords rose from the ground, containing terrifying killing intent, surrounding Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh's longsword gleamed with a purple light as he unleashed a fierce sword aura, slicing down all the grass swords around him.
Amidst the falling leaves, Gilgamesh thrusts his sword at Mina!
puff!
The sharp sword pierced through the girl's body in an instant!
Gilgamesh frowned... Something's not right, the feel is off!
The sword seemed to have pierced the straw man.
A flash of emerald light, and the girl in front of Gilgamesh turned into a withered scarecrow.
Mina appeared behind Gilgamesh, reached out and grasped a grass-green whip, and lashed it fiercely at the King of Heroes!
Sensing the murderous aura behind him, Gilgamesh quickly turned around and blocked with his sword, but Mina's long whip coiled around the sword like a poisonous dragon.
Gilgamesh channeled his divine power into his longsword, attempting to sever the grass whip that was binding the blade.
However, with the blessing of Mina's supreme divine power, this grass whip was extremely tough. Even a divine sword at the peak level of a main god could not cut it with its fierce sword energy!
Mina smiled slightly at Gilgamesh and said, "King of Heroes, times have changed. This is no longer the era of your triumphant myths and legends."
"Your legend has long been lost to the annals of history with the demise of Uruk."
"Gilgamesh, surrender now, stop struggling in vain."
