"To all the people of Uruk —"
The King's voice was mighty, like the might of the heavens.
As Gilgamesh spoke, the people of Uruk stood up one after another. After shouting the King's name, they quickly quieted down.
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the high and mighty King Gilgamesh.
Their eyes were burning with a raging fire.
They had just eaten their fill and were feeling suffocated.
Gilgamesh looked down at the city.
His gaze swept across each and every one of them.
Including Irin and Miriam.
King Gilgamesh continued to speak loudly.
"Three years ago, our God, Hope, decided to challenge the Masters."
"She brought all of our awareness and ascended to the highest level."
"However, the cowardly and decadent 'rulers' feared our gods. The gods under the four 'rulers' launched an attack on our world."
"Sacred Mountain, Kunlun, and Mystery Realm, Atlantis, fell one after another."
"Now, only we, Heavenly Palace, Uruk, are left to make our last stand."
"A year ago, I told you that no matter how we struggle, Uruk will eventually be destroyed!"
"You can run away, indulge in pleasure, lament your fate, or use any method to enjoy your last moments."
"But you still decided to fight to the end for Uruk, for Hope!"
"You know the outcome, but you still insist on living up to the name of Hope and fighting against God!"
Gilgamesh crossed his arms.
"Without a doubt, Uruk is a happy city."
"We believe, we survive, we reproduce, and we progress."
"Including me, we all feel proud that we are the people of 'Hope', and that we are a member of Uruk."
At this point,
Gilgamesh took a deep breath in the silence of everyone and waved his hand. "I will repeat it one more time! Uruk will eventually be destroyed! This will become a "history" that no one can change! But there is no need to be sad! Because, as long as one of us can survive, as long as one of us can see the dawn, our struggle in this battle will be forever engraved in the memory of the "future"! "
"Even if we die in the end,"
"Even if we don't leave behind descendants,"
"We will also leave our will to fight in the hearts of others."
"We will become the 'thoughts' of others."
"We will become the 'faith' of others."
"Our will will also become the will of others!"
"Our struggle today will become the link between 'history' and 'the future'!"
"It's not the inheritance of any bloodline, offspring, or descendants, but the inheritance of the will, thoughts, and spirit of us humans!"
"The destruction of Uruk does not mean the destruction of mankind!"
"We will use our blood and our lives to give the high and mighty 'masters' and those rotten gods a head-on blow. Let them marvel at the tenacity and immortality of human beings! We will use our battle as a pivot to open the path to a new era for future generations of humans! "
Gilgamesh clenched his fists tightly. Golden light illuminated the sky!
"Elites of Uruk …"
"Offer your lowly lives to this king!"
"Our wills shall be passed on for eternity!"
"Mankind will win!"
Gilgamesh's words ignited the will of all the Uruk people.
Everyone raised their arms and cheered.
They held their weapons.
They put on their armor.
"Mankind will win!"
"Mankind will win!"
"Mankind will win!"
The cheers of a few hundred people shook the ruined city of Uruk!
At this moment.
Irin and Miriam, who were silent, raised their heads at the same time.
They looked at the starry sky.
Next to the first fissure, another huge fissure was torn open.
Other than that, another rift appeared.
Following the appearance of the spatial rift, the entire night sky was torn to pieces.
One eye after another appeared behind the crack in a bizarre manner.
They were here!
After Gilgamesh finished his speech, Uruk's fighting spirit soared.
Yi Lin suddenly realized that even without Gilgamesh's food and his "items", the despair that shrouded Uruk City would still disappear because of Gilgamesh's appearance. Irin's existence and Irin's actions did not change history.
History was still operating according to the established trend.
"Do you understand? Mankind. "
Gilgamesh walked in front of Irin and said with a straight face.
"I don't really understand." Irin and Miriam stood up at the same time. He looked at Gilgamesh calmly. "You said that Uruk's future does not represent my future. Then, Uruk is destined to be destroyed. I cannot die here. Finally, listen to my advice. Lend me the Holy Grail. Don't force me, or else — "
"Take it."
Gilgamesh threw a small item to Irin.
Irin was stunned.
His words were stuck in his throat. He had to spit them out.
He almost said, "It's not me who is wrong, it's the world."
Irin caught the item that Gilgamesh threw to him.
It was the Holy Grail!
Gilgamesh threw the Holy Grail over as if it was trash!
F * ck!
What if it destroyed the flowers and plants?
Irin looked at the Holy Grail in his hand and raised his head. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Didn't you say that you won't lend it to me?"
"Hmph, you underestimate my inventory." Gilgamesh looked away and snorted. "It's just a Holy Grail."
Just a Holy Grail?
You make it sound so easy.
Didn't you say that the Holy Grail was also a treasure in your treasury?
Now it's just a Holy Grail?
Irin only dared to say these words in his heart.
If he really said it out loud, King Gilgamesh might turn hostile.
So, Irin let him show off.
Feeling the magic power surging out of the small mouth of the Holy Grail, Irin had nothing to say.
Gilgamesh walked up the city wall.
He suddenly remembered something and asked, "What did you want to say just now?"
"Ahem." Irin coughed hard. "I was going to say, 'Don't force me, or I will use my trump card to fight for Uruk'."
Gilgamesh nodded. He was very satisfied with Irin's ability to take advantage of the situation. He gave him a thumbs up in his heart. "Very good."
Miriam frowned. "You really wanted to say that just now? I feel like you're … Mmph! "
She didn't feel like it.
Based on her understanding of Irin, this guy should have wanted to say something fierce.
Yi Lin hurriedly used all of her strength to cover Miriam's big mouth.
…
Irin held the Holy Grail in his arms.
He brought Miriam to a deserted corner.
The atmosphere in the city was burning.
The sounds of killing shook the sky.
Everyone was shouting slogans.
But this had nothing to do with Irin.
His eyes, heart, and hands were only left with the Holy Grail.
The two of them hid in the corner.
Irin pinched Miriam's face hard.
"Does it hurt?"
"No."
"…"
Irin realized that his strength attribute was not worth mentioning in front of Miriam's.
So he pinched his own face.
It hurt.
This was not a dream.
Every magician's lifelong pursuit, the legendary Holy Grail that could grant all wishes, was now in his hands.
The Holy Grail looked like it was made of pure gold.
It was inlaid with sparkling and translucent gems. It was extremely luxurious.
But this was not the main point.
Holding the Holy Grail, Irin could feel that he was not holding a cup.
He felt like he was holding a "substantial" magic power.
Irin faced the mouth of the Holy Grail and took a deep breath. Pure magic power flowed in his body, causing every pore on Irin's body to unconsciously relax. He felt extremely carefree.
This was the Universal Wishing Machine, the Holy Grail!
Before he really got the Holy Grail, Irin had many bold ideas.
But when he really held the Holy Grail in his hands, Irin fell silent. He did not know what to do.
"What do we do now?"
Miriam asked.
Unknowingly, Irin seemed to have become Miriam's think tank and personal chef. He had to ask her about everything.
"I'm thinking, what is this Holy Grail?"
Irin closed his eyes and reorganized the clues from the trial in his mind.
He thought and muttered to himself, "Can the Holy Grail really be like the legends, able to grant all wishes? If so, then Circia did not need to make it so complicated. She could have just made a wish directly. After all, since she could use the Holy Grail in her body to summon seven heroic spirits, that means that she herself also has the most basic function of the Holy Grail. "
Miriam was stunned and thought, 'Here we go again.'
She started to not understand, so she quickly went into brain shutdown mode. She listened silently and did not express any opinions.
"So, I think that this' Universal 'is only for ordinary people. Otherwise, Gilgamesh, who had the Holy Grail, could have done many more things. He would not have just used the Holy Grail to drink wine and summon heroic spirits. In other words, he, who had the Holy Grail, could not stop the destruction of Uruk. "
The golden Holy Grail spun quickly on Irin's fingertips.
Miriam was listening at the side. As she listened, her ahoge trembled. She tilted her head and asked, "Can you make a wish to let us out?"
"Yes." Irin sighed. "But, how do we get out?"
“？”
Irin looked at Miriam's confused expression and frowned. However, he did not say anything. Instead, he explained, "If even we do not know how to leave this world, how do you think the Holy Grail will send us out?"
"Just open a door and throw us out?"
"After we pass through the door, can we survive?"
"Live again and have our 'bodies' leave while our souls stay here?"
"What if we make a wish to 'let us leave this place intact and alive'?"
"Will it turn into a pig? After all, the pig is also intact. "
Miriam stared at Irin in a daze … She did not understand.
Irin sighed. "What I mean is, the more complicated and detailed the wish is, can it really be fulfilled according to the original intention of the person making the wish?"
"Also, this kind of action is equivalent to 'escaping the trial'. I have never tried it before, so I do not know what the consequences will be."
"Try it, you can try. However, there are certain risks. "
Irin did not know how to leave this world.
He had a vague idea, but he was not sure.
There were risks in the Holy Grail's wish.
If the person making the wish did not even know how to fulfill the wish, then the Holy Grail would very likely use "its" understanding to fulfill the wish of the person making the wish.
Take for example.
If Irin made a wish, "I want world peace."
How to achieve world peace?
Although the magic power in the Holy Grail was enormous, there was definitely a limit.
Irin felt that the simplest way to create peace was to eliminate all humans. When there were no humans in the world, there would be peace.
This idea was very extreme. However, Irin felt that if he really made such a wish to the Holy Grail, it might really cause a disaster.
Irin never thought that the so-called Universal Wishing Machine was so convenient and easy to use.
Just as Irin was hesitating and staring at Miriam.
There was a commotion inside and outside the city.
Irin's eyes focused. He leaped into the air and stepped into the sky.
A few seconds later.
Irin's eyes changed.
There were a total of four cracks in the sky.
Outsiders were spying on them from every spatial rift.
In Uruk City, the horn was loud and clear. The enemy was about to attack.
In the whole of Uruk City, only 623 people survived and had the ability to continue fighting.
623 people!
Other than these 623 people, the rest were old, young, women, and children.
However, these old, young, women, and children, even under the protection of the city walls, were all holding crude weapons and guarding the streets silently.
They were already mentally prepared to live and die with Uruk.
623 people, in an irregular military formation, stood outside the city walls with their backs straight. They did not retreat.
Should they leave?
Irin repeatedly speculated that if he used the Holy Grail to "leave", there would be a certain success rate.
But now, Irin hesitated.
He actually hesitated.
Irin felt that this was not the usual him.
"This is only history, the past."
Irin comforted himself.
Suddenly.
A huge hand tore open the crack and stretched out from it.
A huge red eyeball suddenly opened from another crack. The cold vertical pupil was spying on this world.
The huge vertical pupil was like a moon hanging in the sky, dyeing the night red.
Irin looked at the vertical pupil in shock.
It was the Evil God!
It was the Evil God that destroyed the world of Uranus and became Little Raven's nightmare at the end of that world!
How could it appear here?!
From another crack, a huge bony claw stretched out.
Two huge ghostfire, like eyes, flashed with a dark green light. It was breathtaking.
Except for these few especially big ones.
Countless monsters, like locusts, surged out from the crack, covering the sky and the moon.
The foreign army had arrived!
Just as Gilgamesh's "prophecy" said, tonight would be the end of Uruk!
The "Gods" outside the world had launched a general attack on Uruk!
"Humans will win in the end."
Irin watched all of this from the sky.
He chewed on the last sentence of Gilgamesh's speech.
The entire world was caught in the flames of war.
The last spark of humanity, Uruk, was now like a lonely boat in a storm. In the sky full of monsters, it was as if it would be drowned at any time.
The earth was in ruins.
There was no place to stand in the ocean.
Even the sky was no longer clear.
Gilgamesh walked down from the palace, wearing golden armor.
He came to the statue of the goddess.
A drop of sparkling tear fell from the corner of the "Hope" statue's eye.
"What are you crying for? This is not like you, Hope … My Captain."
Gilgamesh stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tear from the corner of the goddess's eye. He smiled gently. "You said that if 'humans' are treated as a race, then the life of an individual is so insignificant. Yes, Uruk's destruction is destined, but we will also leave behind a spark, a ray of hope. Aren't you working hard too? "
Gilgamesh laughed loudly. His body flashed with golden light. He walked out of the city wall. With a bang, the city gate closed tightly behind him.
He came in front of the 623 people. Gilgamesh casually took out a shiny golden sword from the treasury. He stood with both hands on the sword, raised his head, and looked coldly at the exotic beasts in the sky.
"Hope! My crybaby captain! "
Gilgamesh laughed loudly at the sky, his heroism soaring to the sky.
In such a desperate situation,
Under such an overwhelming difference in numbers,
Gilgamesh issued a declaration of victory!
"Open your eyes," he said.
"Smile,"
"Be proud,"
"Wait patiently,"
"We will not die,"
"We will not lament the injustice of fate,"
"We will fight to the end,"
"In the end, we will become your 'thoughts',"
"Our will will bring the true dawn for the future generations!"
"Humans will win in the end!"
"Uruk will be here forever!"
