Heracles did not answer, only a furious roar.
It was clear that Heracles responded to Ichila's command, even if Ichila's command was for him to die.
Roar!
Heracles roared, struggled wildly, and continuously dragged the chains.
Clang, clang, clang!
The chains of heaven struck the ground, making a clear sound.
Heracles walked slowly.
Such heavy steps were of no meaning, and he found it difficult to even walk to Gilgamesh's front.
However...
This was the heart of a warrior!
Heracles would challenge Gilgamesh with his last will.
If he could not kill Gilgamesh, then being killed by Gilgamesh would also suffice!
Gilgamesh said, "Then I shall grant your wish."
Behind Gilgamesh, a golden light screen bloomed with radiance again, more intense and fierce than before. Large golden ripples continuously appeared, followed by a barrage of weapons flying out.
This was Heracles' last life!
Thud, thud, thud!
One weapon after another pierced into Heracles' body.
In the blink of an eye, Heracles was impaled like a hedgehog, with various weapons completely piercing his body.
His massive frame gradually fell forward.
But at this moment...
Gilgamesh waved his hand, and the chains of heaven wrapped around Heracles' body, pulling him backward until he was pressed against the wall, allowing Heracles to die standing.
Bai Ye glanced at Gilgamesh and said, "I never thought that someone like you would show mercy?"
Allowing a warrior to die standing was undoubtedly the greatest mercy to that warrior.
"Hmph!" Gilgamesh snorted coldly, then said, "As agreed, the Master is yours. That woman is getting away."
Bai Ye said, "That is my mercy."
As Bai Ye spoke, he raised the Xuanyuan Sword and slashed towards the side.
Sky Splitting Fracture (A sword strike that shatters the void, cutting across space to strike the enemy)
As the Xuanyuan Sword unleashed its strike, the surrounding space trembled. Then, behind Ichila, a black void rift appeared.
The void rift exuded chaotic mist, appearing void and deep, and then it sliced through the entire space.
And everything within that space was naturally split in two at this moment!
Walls, ground, ceiling...
Of course, Ichila's body was also split in two!
Similarly, Ichila's body was divided by the fractured space.
Plop!
Ichila fell forward, his eyes wide, blood continuously flowing from his severed body.
"You have slain a participant (Modern Civilization World)."
"You have obtained a fragment of a God Stone."
Bai Ye could have killed Ichila at any time.
He didn't kill him so that Heracles could die before Ichila.
This was Bai Ye's mercy towards Heracles!
"Let's go find the Holy Grail," Gilgamesh said with a pout, "I'm starting to get bored with this game."
Bai Ye nodded. "Alright!"
For Bai Ye, it was naturally a good thing that Gilgamesh wanted to end everything.
Because, in Bai Ye's opinion, Gilgamesh was powerful, but he was too capricious and had little interest in the Holy Grail. His only criterion for action was his own preference.
And Bai Ye never cared about the process, as long as he could achieve the desired outcome, the process was irrelevant.
So, what was the outcome Bai Ye desired?
Naturally, it was the Holy Grail!
Since Gilgamesh now intended to obtain the Holy Grail and end everything, it was naturally a good thing for Bai Ye.
The two had finally reached a consensus.
On the other side, after speaking, Gilgamesh showed no intention of moving forward, instead spreading his palm to the side.
"Gáe Bulg!"
Gilgamesh spread his palm, and a blood-red spear appeared in his hand, very similar to the one in Scathach's hand.
This was a legendary demonic spear, whose ability to pierce through five stars made it difficult to evade.
And now...
What Gilgamesh intended to pierce was not a person, but...
This Hanging Gardens of Babylon!
Taking a step forward, Gilgamesh threw Gáe Bulg upwards.
In the next instant, the blood-red demonic spear exploded, transforming into five blood-red beams of light that blasted upwards.
Boom, boom, boom!
The five beams of light formed by the demonic spear continuously surged upwards, smashing through the ceiling!
The ground of the upper floors continuously shattered, and the Dragon Tooth soldiers filling the corridors twisted their bodies and looked towards the direction of the shattered ground.
Then...
As the red radiance swept past, the bodies of those Dragon Tooth soldiers were continuously blown apart, turning into piles of bone fragments.
One layer, two layers, three layers...
Continuous loud noises emanated from the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Looking from outside the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one could see large clouds of dust and smoke constantly rising from various floors.
Countless pieces of rubble scattered in the air, falling downwards.
"Vimana!"
Gilgamesh waved his hand, summoned his chariot, and then, taking Bai Ye with him, ascended into the sky.
The Vimana transformed into a golden beam of light.
As it ascended, it pulverized all the falling debris.
Unstoppable!
Gilgamesh clearly had no interest in slowly wearing down the opponent, nor was there any need.
The King of Knights was an interesting enemy for Gilgamesh, but his Master was already incapacitated and most likely unable to fight further.
Heracles was dead.
As for Astolfo, one of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne, Gilgamesh disdained him.
The only one who could currently pique Gilgamesh's interest was the owner of this Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Therefore, Gilgamesh now intended to go to the top floor of the Hanging Gardens to confront him.
Boom!
Once again smashing through the ceiling.
Gilgamesh and Bai Ye arrived at the very top floor of the Hanging Gardens.
A long and deep corridor exuded an indescribable tranquility.
At the end of the corridor, there was a large and luxurious gate, through which a sliver of light could be faintly seen.
Bai Ye walked forward first, arrived at the gate, and pushed it open.
As the large gate opened, what appeared before Bai Ye and Gilgamesh was a rather luxurious banquet hall.
Dripping chandeliers emanated brilliance, and the floor behind the door was covered with a red carpet.
On the other side of the banquet hall was a vast terrace offering a view of everything outside, and at the far end of the red carpet, there was a throne.
However, the throne was clearly peculiar, facing the wall with its back to the hall.
And in the center of the hall...
A golden orb of light floated in the air, continuously rising and falling, and within that radiance...
Was the Holy Grail!
