"King Gilgamesh, we are back!"
As soon as they entered the tower, Merlin ignored Gilgamesh who was handling government affairs and said with a smile: "There are many things to report!"
"Merlin, you have brought back a new guest——"
Seeing Merlin and Li Ye coming, Gilgamesh quickly finished the things at hand and raised his hand to signal Siduri to pause.
Seeing this, Siduri silently stepped aside and looked quietly at Gilgamesh and Li Ye and the other two below.
Gilgamesh didn't have any opinion about the new member Anna Medusa.
It was just an insignificant servant who joined.
Merlin just smiled at this. There was nothing much to introduce between Anna and Gilgamesh.
The main scene was when Li Ye slowly stepped forward and said, "King Gilgamesh, I didn't get to meet the goddess of warcraft Gorgon this time, but I can confirm that her stance is absolutely anti-human."
When Li Ye mentioned the Warcraft goddess Gorgon, Anna beside him subconsciously looked at him.
Gilgamesh on the throne raised his eyebrows upon hearing this: "Wow, what else?"
Gilgamesh didn't care that Li Ye failed to meet the Warcraft Goddess Gorgon. In his opinion, the Warcraft Goddess was completely different from the other goddesses.
It is an existence that ignores humans and is full of hatred.
"Well, there are many things going on. To put it simply, your friend has faked his death."
After some thought, Liye decided to use the most concise language to tell Gilgamesh about Enkidu.
"Ok?"
After these words were spoken, even Gilgamesh couldn't help but snort in confusion.
He seemed puzzled by Li Ye's confusing answer.
Seeing that Gilgamesh did not understand what he meant, Li Ye said again: "It is your only friend Enkidu who has resurrected, but the soul in his body has been replaced by a different one, and now it is Kingu, the son of Tiamat.
Its purpose was supposedly to free the goddess of creation, Tiamat, from her cradle.”
"........."
Hearing this, even Gilgamesh fell silent, and Siduri beside Gilgamesh exclaimed: "What? It's Enkidu——"
Resurrected?
Siduri, who accompanied Gilgamesh throughout his life, also had deep feelings for Enkidu, Gilgamesh's only close friend.
Only Enkidu can bring so-called friendship to Gilgamesh and is a green man worthy of respect.
After defeating the Bull of Heaven, he was punished by the gods and lost his life, and was buried in the underworld by King Gilgamesh.
The dead cannot be resurrected, but Enkidu was half resurrected.
The body reappears, but the soul within it is different.
As Siduri was shocked, Gilgamesh finally spoke: "Did Enkidu's body become Kingu, the son of Tiamat?"
Before he finished speaking, Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "How did you recognize the Heaven's Chain?"
Li Ye did not lie, Gilgamesh was certain of it, so Enkidu's resurrection from the dead was absolutely true.
But Gilgamesh still wanted to confirm it.
"I [remembered] that my eyes saw a lot of things, and I remember all of them."
Li Ye smiled and pointed to his eyes, and spoke frankly about the existence of Fantasy Drift.
Having witnessed thousands of years of human accumulation, many mysteries are clear to Li Ye. Unless he deprives himself of time, no secret can escape Li Ye's eyes.
Although it cannot be activated actively and requires passive media and information to cause "recollection", it is undeniable that Li Ye's brain seems to have become the second Hermes Tristess, the most powerful brain that records everything.
Li Ye at this moment is the biggest mystery.
"Well, Enkidu's body was used by the god Tiamat to create a being called Kingo. Is there anything else you need to report?"
Gilgamesh's expression remained unchanged, and he accepted the fact that his best friend's body had been stolen with ease.
"And one more thing--"
Chapter 199: Countermeasures
"Huh? Go ahead and tell me."
Seeing that Li Ye's report was not finished, Gilgamesh's expression remained normal, but he changed his posture to face Li Ye.
Li Ye's voice also rang out: "That is about the migration of Nippur citizens. With the threat of Kingu and the Gorgon monster group, the area outside the north wall is no longer suitable for living.
At least the citizens of Nippur should be relocated inside the north wall."
"As for this matter, the citizens in Nippur are unable to evacuate due to the group of magical beasts. Now they should be able to hold on with the help of the two Heroic Spirits until they can be completely evacuated."
Gilgamesh raised his hand and said casually, "But if you want to be efficient, then you can go and escort the evacuation, Liye."
"A herd of monsters?"
After hearing what Gilgamesh said, Liye immediately understood why there were still people living in Nippur.
But he didn't encounter many magical beasts on the way to the Black Fir Forest. Could it be that they were gathering around Nippur?
A hint of doubt flashed through Li Ye's mind, but was quickly suppressed.
"I will rush to Nippur to assist them in evacuating."
Li Ye took on the task readily.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh nodded slightly and said, "Siduri, go and prepare for the evacuation and resettlement of Nippur."
After receiving the order, Siduri nodded slightly and said, "Then I will withdraw first, King."
When Siduri left the ziggurat and started the migration work in Nippur, Gilgamesh looked at Liye and Merlin again.
After telling all the information, Li Ye seemed to have no reason to stay in the God Tower. With the idea of finding a place to deal with the goddess alone, he followed Siduri's footsteps and left the God Tower.
Leaving space for Gilgamesh and Merlin.
Half a minute later——
Li Ye was seen sitting alone on the steps outside the sacred tower, with his hands resting on his knees with his fingers crossed.
Although he was not wearing any accessories such as glasses, Li Ye's eyes seemed to be reflecting pure white light at this moment.
Li Ye was thinking.
After the battle with Jingu, Li Ye saw many of his own shortcomings. Although most of them were obvious to him a long time ago, the battle with Jingu pointed them out better.
The biggest reason is that Li Ye himself is too weak and is far inferior to these top heroes.
"We need to develop it in a more comprehensive way."
Li Ye thought that not only his physical strength but also his martial arts skills needed to be strengthened.
The dragon blood that continued to grow after entering the Age of Gods made Li Ye's physical strength and total magic power truly close to or even surpass those of dragon species.
His strength is comparable to that of a hero.
However, time waits for no one, and there is no extra time for Li Ye to wait for the dragon blood to grow, unless Li Ye can accelerate the growth of the dragon blood and make it truly comparable to the dragon species of the God Era.
But the so-called dragon is the embodiment of mystery and the accumulation of years.
Li Ye alone could not accelerate the growth of dragon blood. Knowing this, Li Ye had to give up the idea.
What is more important is the countermeasures against Jingu. Hundreds of Heavenly Chains are attacking at the same time. Li Ye cannot block them with his current condition and will only end up in the same defeat.
More powerful martial arts, or targeted counterattack capabilities——
"The Holy Inquisition's multiple launches—"
Li Ye could think of few countermeasures. One of them was to strengthen the multiple launches of the Holy Judgment to offset the Heavenly Chains in a one-on-many situation, but that would consume a lot of magic power.
According to Li Ye's estimation, if the Holy Judge engaged in a war of attrition with Jingu, it would probably only last for three minutes.
This was after Li Ye's Holy Judgment reached the target and was able to offset the Heavenly Lock launched by Jingu for three minutes.
"Reduce the consumption of mana, or obtain a replenishment of mana—"
Li Ye felt that it was possible to launch Holy Judgment with normal power or even power far exceeding normal power with minimal resources, but it was not an achievement that could be achieved so easily.
That was the ultimate achievement of Li Ye's control over his own magic power.
It might be much easier for Li Ye to find a way to replenish his magic power.
The Holy Grail is not the only one that can provide external replenishment of magical resources. The figures of King Lionheart and King Osmandis quickly emerged in Li Ye's mind.
After giving the Holy Grail to Li Ye, Osmandis has been using the strategy of absorbing magic power from the earth veins to maintain consumption, while the Lionheart King chose to transform himself into a human battery to maintain magic power consumption.
The Lionheart King's method was not something Li Ye could accept or do, so he had to imitate Osmandis to connect with the earth vein magic.
"It's possible. I'll ask Gilgamesh and Merlin later. If it works, I can at least be on par with Kingo."
Li Ye gazed at Uruk below the sacred tower and the more distant land of Mesopotamia. In this era when the gods had not yet left, the magic power of the earth veins was undoubtedly abundant.
Even if it is not as flexible as the Holy Grail, it is enough for one person to use.
Putting aside the issue of earth vein magic for the moment, Li Ye thought about the last and most important question.
That is - tapping into one's own strength.
The moment his limbs were pierced by the Jingutian Chain, Li Ye noticed something unusual.
A strange [magic power] emerged from inside the body, or rather, Li Ye's own magic power had undergone unknown changes again, which was similar to the time when he [reflected] Ishtar's spirit.
"Could it be Jingu?"
If it is said that Li Ye [reflected] Jingu's magic or other things by relying on the Heavenly Chains that penetrated his limbs, but Li Ye had never discovered the changes in the magic, and he was even confused about what really happened.
But Li Ye understood that something must have changed, not a significant change that was visible on the outside, but a hidden change.
After thinking for a while without coming to a conclusion, Li Ye decisively stood up and walked back to the divine tower.
At this time, the communication between Merlin and Gilgamesh was coming to an end.
Seeing Li Ye return again, Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows slightly.
Li Ye's action of sitting alone in the divine tower did not avoid Gilgamesh and Merlin. Although it was not clear what Li Ye was thinking about, no one would go into it deeply.
"I want to obtain the magic power of the earth veins to replenish myself. As the king, King Gilgamesh, you have the right to control the earth veins, right?"
Li Ye, who was clear about his own thoughts, didn't waste any words. He stared at Gilgamesh and decisively expressed his thoughts: "As long as I can get the magic power of the earth veins, I can hold Jingu back--"
With the experience of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, Li Ye acquired the superb skill of being able to greatly compress his own magic power and pump it out in one breath. The upper limit of magic power output is not a problem at all for him.
As long as he has enough magic power, Li Ye is confident that he can engage in a long-term tug-of-war with Jingu.
Even if he can't defeat Jingu, Jingu can't defeat Li Ye.
"Wow, interesting——"
Hearing Li Ye's request, Gilgamesh smiled faintly.
Want to get the magical support of the earth veins to fight against the Heavenly Chain, the incarnation of the earth?
Chapter 200: Humanity's Oldest Robot Cat
"Wow, this is getting interesting—"
Not only Gilgamesh, but Merlin on the side also showed a subtle expression when he saw that Li Ye actually proposed the idea of connecting to the earth veins to obtain magical support.
It is very common among magicians to extract magical resources from the earth veins for use. Basically, magic families will occupy local earth vein nodes to build workshops.
This move was not only to be able to extract considerable magical resources from the earth veins for research, but more importantly to gain control of the local area.
Normally, only one magic family can occupy the spiritual land of the earth vein node, because the resources are limited, and most of the occupants will build a barrier against foreign magicians to achieve control of the precious resource of the earth vein node and declare territory.
In this era when the gods have not yet left, the precious resource of earth magic is naturally in the hands of gods or the only king.
Thinking of this, Merlin looked at the golden king on the jade throne with a smile on his face.
Like Merlin, Gilgamesh also possesses the qualifications to be a Grand Magician, but there are some differences.
As the oldest hero king, Gilgamesh reached the pinnacle of the era by virtue of a large number of magic costumes, thus becoming qualified as the Grand Magician.
Not only is it made of top-notch props (treasures taken from the Golden City), but it is also made of extremely high-level battlefields.
Gilgamesh can fully meet Liye's needs.
