King of Heroes

Sirzech's PoV

Regina is an interesting girl. Although its hard to tell with her face that is expressionless most of the time. She is a caring girl as she came to back up Issei by coming here.

She also smart and capable judging from the when they entered the hall from the aura she released. With that action she told us who is supporting Issei. It acted as a warning as well as a show of power towards me.

She is a good friend for Rias to have, as not anyone would have the courage to come here even if she is strong. Especially since she knows of the possibility of taking on a Demon King in their own territory.

"Grayfia what do you think of her?" I asked my [Queen], Grayfia as we walked back to the office to deal with some paperwork.

"She is dangerous." She said simply with a serious look.

I also agree with her statement. She was incredibly powerful. Im not sure what else she is hiding but her sacred gear is seriously terrifying.

"The aura she released reached satan class. From that we can see that she is at least on par with the other demon kings." Grayfia concluded.

"Im not so sure about that. Even I would have a hard time against her." I told her.

Hearing me she was slightly confused and shocked.

"You forgot she had a sacred gear."

"You mean those chains?" She said doubtful.

"You think those chains are weak?" I asked her, to which she answered with a nod.

"Those golden chains are called [Enkidu] they are the chains of heavens that bind the Gods. The more divinity a person has, the tighter those chains become." (Sirzechs)

Hearing what I said she was shocked.

"The reason they were so weak looking that you could break them easily is because it was against devils. If it was a God they would find it hard to escape, and from what I see she held back by quite a lot when she used those chains earlier as even if it was weapon to bind Gods it shouldn't be that weak against non-divines." (Sirzechs)

"However if thats the case I don't see whats so powerful about her sacred gear as it only has that purpose."

"Thats not her sacred gear." I told her simply.

"What!?" She asked with an expression of disbelief.

"You probably didn't notice as she only used the chains but her sacred gear was those golden ripples that appeared when the chains appeared."

I look at her who is listening with a serious expression.

"Her sacred gear is called, [Gate of Babylon]. Inside it is a treasury which has all the world's treasure. Have you heard of Gilgamesh?"

"It was on her name when she introduced herself." She said.

"Yes, that means she is that person's descendant."

"Who?"

"Gilgamesh is the King of Uruk, Humanity's first civilization. He was the king of humanity's oldest civilization which later laid the foundations of the human world for the next generations. He lived in the age of the oldest of Gods. Even before various mythologies came to exist. Even before the time of the Devils and the Biblical God. When the Gods of Ancient Mesopotamia roamed the world. Although now they have disappeared the power they once held is terrifying." I look towards her who had a serious expression and listening intently. Gilgamesh's legend is quite old and most people forgot about it nowadays.

"Gilgamesh who lived in that period had power that rivals the strongest of Gods."

"How was he so powerful? Even in the past years only few Humans are capable of fighting Gods and he can fight the strongest of them?" Grayfia replied with a face of disbelief.

"[The Gate of Babylon.]" I told her.

"Her Sacred Gear?"

"Yes, Her Sacred gear is that powerful." I saw that she still doesn't believe me so I continued and explained the Sacred Gear in detail.

"Technically the [Gate of Babylon] isnt a sacred gear as it wasn't made by the Biblical God. It is a unique creation that later became under the classification of weapons that are [Sacred Gears]. Its classification is that of a Longinus like the [Boosted Gear].

Unlike the well known 13. It was forgotten through time as in history only 3 people ever held it to this day.

The first was the original Gilgamesh the king of uruk.

The second was the human who later became called the [Godslayer] who's name was lost in time and finally Regina the current holder.

It is a unique sacred gear that is only passed down through Gilgamesh's own descendants.

Inside the sacred gear is a treasury referred to as the Golden Capital. In Gilgamesh's legend he collected every treasures in the world and among them was an unnamed storing device which later became the [Gate of Babylon]. Initially it was just a storing device that Gilgamesh used to store his treasures.

However it later evolved and became the first sacred gear before even the concept of sacred gears and longinus existed as this was a time from before the Biblical God was born, before he created the concept of sacred gears.

When the first civilization fell all the treasures in the treasury was dispersed around the world through various means eventually landing on the hands of various heroes of legends as well as in the hands of Gods." (Sirzechs)

"Wait if that is so how come it still has items inside?" (Grayfia)

"As it evolved it developed another ability. Even treasure inside it was recorded and the [Gate of Babylon] created a copy of those very treasures in their strongest state.

It also gained the ability to add records of weapons that weren't even inside of it and created later on as the basis used for those weapons were the treasures within the [Gate of Babylon itself. The sacred gear replicated those treasures inside of it and till this day it continuous to increase. However the only weapons it can recreate are those created later on that are derived from the treasures within. As such those that aren't derived from the treasury cannot be copied.

"But if its a storage type sacred tool. why was it so powerful? I get that it can recreate various legendary weapons but that wouldnt justify it classification as a longinus."

"You remember those golden ripples I mentioned earlier right? Those are where the weapons come from. Regina can shoot hundreds of weapons that came from different legends and myths around the world throughout history at extreme speeds.

Each of those weapons has a legend of their own and each individual projectile that shoots has different effects. If she wishes she could just fire countless holy swords from history in the hall earlier. Even famous swords like Excalibur, Joyeux, Caliburn and Durandal are within the treasury in their most powerful states.

The amount of dead devils would be astonishing should she really shoot those swords. As only a few of the devils would survive being shot by an uncountable amount of holy swords at succession."

Hearing Sirzech's explanation, Grayfia finally understood how terrifying Regina really is.

"Then doesnt that mean the only way for is to fight her is through close combat? As the projectiles that came from the sacred gear is fatal, Attacking in short range would be the only way to fight against her."

"From what I heard from Rias, Regina is also a capable swordswoman and the aura she released is Satan class. So I doubt close combat would also work that easily. From what I think, Its not impossible for her to fight in close combat while launching swords at you." Said Sirzech with a sigh.

"Then doesnt she have too many counters? Against Devils she can use Holy Swords, Against Dragons she can use dragon slaying swords, Against Angels and Fallen Angels she can just use Demon Swords. Thats too absurd." Grayfia said with shock as even the known longinus doesnt have that much versatility and has each of their own weaknesses such as the [Boosted Gear] being weak to those with dragon slaying swords.

"Yes and whats worst is that the weapons inside as at their strongest states. It basically derives the weapon's strongest state so the weapons she can pull out are terrifying as you wont know what effect the weapons has.

Due to this property of the sacred gear it gives Gilgamesh the title of 'King of Heroes' as the weapons inside his treasury are those that are later used by various heroes in different legends and myths."

"Then what can we do against her?" Asked Grayfia as she has no idea how to deal with her.

"Nothing, the only weakness she has is that she is human and their lifespan is quite short and keeping friendly ties with her should be good for now as from what I have seen she has a good personality and I quite like her a bit. Having the current King- no rather Queen of Heroes as an ally is better as an enemy right?" Said Sirzechs with a chuckle.

Sirzechs and Grayfia doesnt know of Regina's lineage as a Fallen Angel as she used an item that conceals her fallen angel lineage. If they knew they wouldnt think that she would die of old age on the contrary she would live for quite a long time and have a lot more time getting much stronger and as for weaknesses, as Regina is half fallen angel, demon swords would work quite well against her. Though not as much as pure blood fallen angels.
