Chapter 119. The Wrath of Gilgamesh!
The entire globe trembled, countless eyes turned toward the Celestial Curtain.
"Wtf wtf! Just how many Noble Phantasms does the Heroic King actually have… no, wait, are those all Divine Constructs?!"
"Who knows… but according to major mythologies like Greek, Christian, Hindu, and Japanese, at the very least he owns a few hundred Divine Constructs casually…"
"Who knows, maybe legendary artifacts like Longinus, Lotus Lantern, Ruyi Jingu Bang, and Eight Trigrams Furnace all belong to him too!"
"No way?!"
Seeing Gilgamesh still so leisurely as if on a stroll…
Everyone felt a chill down their spines.
Before the rising storm of chatter could explode, many people held their breath in tension.
In the sky, the colossal armored machine wielding twin blazing swords began to move.
...
["Ommmm~."]
[The eyes of the Supreme Divine Machine glowed a fierce red, casting its gaze below the clouds, like two massive blood moons pouring cold light down to the earth, engulfing thousands of miles, sweeping through every lifeform within sensing range.]
[Immediately after, a dim crimson light locked onto the white-haired girl standing atop the peak.]
[This is bad…]
[Yukinoshita Yukino furrowed her brows, eyes locked on the molten sword in the hand of the Divine Machine, she tried to use Projection Magecraft to replicate it.]
[However, her brain throbbed like it was on fire, forcing her to bite down on her upper lip.]
[Why can't it be copied…]
[Is it a hollow shell?]
["Drip… drip…"]
[The girl's whole body trembled, bright red blood seeping from her eye sockets.]
[No, I can definitely project it!!]
[Yukinoshita Yukino clenched her teeth, her inner will invoking the power of Origin.]
[Not enough time…]
[The moment it locked onto its target, the towering Supreme Divine Machine roared into the clouds.]
[A terrifying sonic wave erupted into a thunderous cloud burst, then it raised its right arm, mechanical components blazing as it swung out the Divine Construct『Sul-sagana: The Horizon of Dawn that Purifies the Seas』, unleashing a blazing sword slash.]
[No, more accurately—it unleashed an entire sea of molten fire!]
["BOOM BOOM BOOM...!!"]
[Heaven and earth shook, the fiery light like a galaxy falling, engulfing everything, annihilating all, even the lava lake stretching for dozens of miles was swallowed whole.]
[Like a red streak breaching boundaries, the firestorm swept through, wiping out even the most majestic mountains!]
...
The next moment, the scene was nothing short of a cinematic volcanic apocalypse explosion by Micheal Bay!!
Reality fell into stunned silence.
This was absolute dominance, absolute violence!!
Without even releasing the True Name of the Noble Phantasm, just a single swing had reached such a level!
Too overwhelming!
Many people stared blankly at the Celestial Curtain, where the river of lava thousands of miles long still flowed endlessly.
And what about Yukinoshita Yukino?
Where was she? Could she already have been reduced to ashes?
People found it hard to believe that Yukino would die in a place like this; deep in their hearts, they still held onto a sliver of hope, gazing toward the Celestial Curtain—but only white mist rose, like scattered snowfall, making it utterly impossible to see a single human figure.
"U u u u, Yukino Oujou-sama, I'll come clean your grave on this day every year."
Inside the Celestial Curtain world, Hikki-Neet Satou Kazuma choked up, trying to squeeze out a crocodile tear, but the slight curl at the corner of his lips clearly betrayed his smug satisfaction.
It was like… popping champagne!
"…"
In the crowd, Yukinoshita Yukino's expression turned dark…
That bastard—ever since getting the Command Seal, he's been acting more and more arrogant.
She needed to find a chance to teach him a proper lesson…
As fellow Magi of the Japanese government, they had to settle things with real strength.
"What a pity."
Not far away, Mizusawa Matsuri sighed. That perfect girl had passed away just like that.
But thankfully, she could still hold Yukinon of this world.
...
Very quickly, regarding whether the girl was still alive or not, the Celestial Curtain gave its answer!
["Gaaah… gaaah!"]
[The colossal mecha standing tall on the earth roared in fury, its blood-red eyes like moons glancing to the side, then lowered its gaze toward a stretch of asphalt road far off in the distance, not yet engulfed by lava—thermal imaging technology had detected a powerful red dot.]
[And then…]
["BOOM!!"]
[A terrifying explosion stirred a stream of air ten thousand meters high, collapsing the sky and shattering the earth.]
[The molten greatsword was hurled, as if cleaving oceans in two, slicing through the heavens!]
[It flew straight toward the location where the girl had survived.]
[Then, a blinding light erupted!]
["Broken Phantasm!!"]
[Amid Yukino's furious cry, the light of a Broken Phantasm strike hit the fire-attributed Divine Construct, slightly knocking its trajectory off-course—it grazed past her.]
[The blazing greatsword swept through several cities and crashed with a roar into the seaside base.]
...
Everyone held their breath.
Because in the thunderous clash between sword and sea, hundreds of millions of tons of seawater instantly evaporated.
That molten Divine Sword stabbed straight into the seabed.
Then, like the legend of Moses parting the sea, it split the entire ocean in two, forming walls of water tens of thousands of meters high on either side of the great molten sword!
"Divine Construct… truly this terrifying!"
In the town of Hori, the green-haired loli girl who managed the divine blade "Murasamemaru"—Murasame—was so shocked she was tongue-tied.
Though also bearing the title of Divine Blade…
The power of Murasamemaru was frankly embarrassing.
...
[At this moment, Yukino's skin had suffered widespread burns, a direct result of the destructive force of the molten greatsword.]
[No time to celebrate narrowly dodging the throw of『Sul-sagana』, Yukino's pupils trembled—she saw the gigantic stone greatsword capable of cleaving mountains descending upon her head.]
[In just a flash it had crossed a thousand miles, bringing with it howling gales—a fatal strike impossible to evade…]
[Yukino's soul trembled wildly.]
[No… she absolutely could not fall here!!]
["Gradation Air!!"]
[Ignoring what manifesting a Divine Construct might do to her body, Yukinoshita Yukino gritted her teeth, eyes locked on the patterns of the stone greatsword, the blood vessels in her eyes spreading like wildfire, nosebleed flowing uncontrollably.]
[Her brain overheated, every cell in her body overloaded, on the verge of destruction.]
[In the next instant, dazzling light flared in her palm.]
[Projection!!]
["『Ig-Alima: Green Field Cutting Through the Thousand Mountains - Fake』!!"]
[In a moment balanced on the edge of life and death, Yukino projected a replica of the Divine Construct – the Cleaving Mountain Sword.]
[The majestic shadow slowly blanketed the skies, even causing Gilgamesh to show a hint of surprise.]
["BOOM BOOM BOOM…!!"]
[The heavens roared, unleashing floods and hurricanes. The projected colossal greatsword tore through a thousand-mile air current and collided with the mountain-cleaving blade of the Divine Machine. The void exploded, triggering the most intense sword duel beneath the sky!]
[Sword clashed with sword, each strike a desperate gamble—so violent that even the tectonic plates of the Eurasian continent were shaken...]
[However… perhaps fake still couldn't match real.]
[In the brutal collision of mountain-cleaving blades, the projected Divine Construct was slowly sliced apart.]
[The girl, body pierced all over with blades, decisively used her last bit of mana to trigger a direct explosion.]
[Broken Phantasm—explode!!]
["BOOM!!"]
[In an instant, the projected Divine Construct shattered, and overwhelming energy erupted—a massive dark crimson mushroom cloud, carrying the aura of world-ending destruction, slowly rose and caused the vast sky region to completely collapse.]
[Immediately after, the Supreme Divine Machine was also torn to shreds in the clash between Divine Constructs.]
[The gaze of the King of Heroes wavered slightly; from the Treasury of the King, he pulled out countless defensive Noble Phantasms, breaking through seventeen layers of defense in an instant, barely managing to block the attack.]
[The aftershock swept away everything—the cloud layers were torn apart, and the troposphere was pierced with a massive hole!]
[A scar that looked as though it had ripped the entire planet, the shockwave alone enough to pulverize an ordinary human body.]
["Not bad, mongrel."]
[Gilgamesh's hairstyle was completely disheveled. He smirked coldly and lifted his head.]
[In that moment, as the smoke and dust cleared, a figure burst out of the sky.]
[Around her floated countless Noble Phantasms, ready to fire; she rushed forward, dual blades in hand.]
["Don't joke with me… just a fake..."]
[The Golden King gritted his teeth, and from within the ripples, more than ten A-rank Noble Phantasms launched straight toward her.]
[Yukino's sideburns were splattered with blood, but her eyes remained cold and calm. Dozens of projected Noble Phantasms appeared to counterattack—if one-on-one didn't work, then one against seven—striking down all the Noble Phantasms that filled the sky!]
[In that instant, countless small-scale explosions erupted in rapid succession, almost forming a continuous chain. The King of Heroes roared in fury: "Don't get too arrogant, mongrel!!"]
[A wave of gold and crimson bloomed.]
[A crimson divine chain shot out from the Gates of Babylon!]
[Even its aura alone rivaled that of a Divine Construct!!]
[Something massive was about to emerge!]
...
Reality stood stunned.
"What the hell is that??"
"Goldy's final trump card?"
"This pressure is terrifying—even from the Celestial Curtain high above, I can't breathe!"
"Reality Marble has been destroyed—Yukino's projection speed can't keep up."
While the world held its breath…
"She's smiling!"
Someone shouted in shock.
...
["…Let it end here."]
[On Yukino's calm, blood-splattered face appeared a faint smile.]
[No matter how many times she brushed against the line of life and death, she always remained calm and resilient — but now, she smiled.]
[She was saying—]
[Victory is hers!]
[In the split second before Gilgamesh could react from his daze, Yukino tightened her grip: "Crane Wing… Triple Slash!!"]
["Whoosh!"]
[A burst of air exploded, followed by an ear-splitting sonic boom!]
[Instantly, a black sword that had been knocked away earlier suddenly flew back in reverse!]
["Splurt!!"]
[Blood sprayed everywhere. Under Gilgamesh's disbelieving gaze, his right elbow—along with Ea—was cleanly severed and fell.]
[Immediately after, the blade pierced straight through his chest!!]
