Angelica

Regina's PoV

I opened my eyes. Looking around I saw countless treasures scattered and embedded across the ground. Several renowned blades as far as the eye can see.

To the center was a golden fountain surrounded by piles of Gold. Behind it was an altar where a sword(?) was floating enveloped by several chains. It had three cylindrical segments and shaped like a drill. Each of those segments had inscriptions that glowed with a crimson color. It handle was gold in color. The weapon was emanating a strong aura that materializes as a visible crimson aura. This was the sword of rupture, Ea.

Looking around I saw two massive swords in the distance. It was Ig Alima and Shul Shaganna.  Other various recognizable weapons were also embedded around me. I then look at the person sitting on the fountain of gold.

"Its been a while Angelica." I greeted her.

The girl called Angelica looked similar to me and also had blonde hair and crimson red eyes. She wore a golden armor in her lower body however her top was topless with only a black shirt to cover.

"Yes, it has been partner." She greeted me back with a slight smile on her face.

"You like to sleep too much." I said to her with a sigh.

Hearing that she chuckled and apologized.

"Sorry, force of habit. Gilgamesh wasn't really one to talk nor the [God Slayer] so I didn't interact much with them and was a sleep most of the time. I also slept for thousands of years since there wasn't anyone else after them till you inherited the sacred gear."

This girl is Angelica. The spirit that resides the sacred gear, Gate of Babylon.

The other sacred users from Regulus Dominion with the exception of Raina and Yun Yao who had the White Tiger sealed in it didn't have a chance to talk to the consciousness inside. Raina like me also seemed to have a spirit within her sacred gear.

Throughout history except those with beings sealed inside there wasn't any other account of such a phenomenon where the sacred gear had a consciousness. Even Father only thought that it was a theory until we asked him about the spirit in our sacred gears.

"So how much can I control as of now?"

"You can already control most of the layers within the treasury. There are only a few ones remaining that you can't fully use such as Ea and those two swords used by the [Godslayer]."

Throughout the years, with the help of Angelica I have subdued almost everyone of the treasures within the gate of babylon. There are only a few left that I cant fully use. Among them was Ea that I can use some extent but not to its full potential. Those two swords are also problematic as they still are possessed by the lingering hatred of the Godslayer for the Gods.

These two swords were used by the Godslayer to massacre the entire Mesopotamia Pantheon along with Ea and the other treasures leading it to be corrupted with his hatred. This is the reason why that pantheon doesn't exist and Hades controls the world of the dead and not Ereshkigal who is the oldest God of Death.

These pair of sword are unnamed and appeared as a black sword and a white sword with golden inscriptions. It also has some gold engravings in its hilt and guard. They along with Enkidu are the few anti-divinity weapons in the vault that specialize in dealing with Gods and the Divine. If I have to compare them. They are like how holy swords that are a weakness to Devils just replacing the Devils with Gods.

"My predecessor really hated the ancient Gods huh..." I muttered looking at the intense bloodthirsty aura that surrounds the two swords.

"Yes, after all those Gods wanted to force him to marry one of their own as the first Gilgamesh refused back then they wanted to try his descendant. " Angelica said with a sigh.

I have already heard of the things that happened back then. My predecessor's wife was taken hostage to force him to marry one of their Goddesses. When he refused they killed her which infuriated him which started his assault on the Mesopotamian Gods eventually wiping them out before succumbing to his injuries as he was just human.

A really sad and tragic story. Even now my predecessor's hatred lingered in the sacred gear, I have felt it during this 5 years as I subdued most of the treasures within the treasury. Thankfully, Angelica managed to help me otherwise I wouldn't be able to get this far in just 5 years.

Ea should be fine for the most part as its only a matter of time. I just need to be strong enough to wield it to its full potential. The real issue are those twin blades. Unlike the other treasures, those twin blades originated from the Godslayer and not Gilgamesh. They were the very blades he used to murder countless Gods and were soaked in his hatred the most out of the innumerable weapons within the treasury.

"You probably won't need it right now but who could say for the future... but I'll remind you to not use those blades as much as possible. Although they can give you an advantage and suppress Gods. The lingering hatred is similar to the two heavenly dragon's juggernaut drive. You may lose control should you use them for too long." Angelica reminded me just to be sure.

I nodded in agreement as I have already experienced it first hand when I almost entered a state similar to [Juggernaut Drive]. I believe it was called [Tyrant's Reign].

I can go to that form accidentally if I use those blades for too long. Although that ability is powerful, its too dangerous and uncontrollable.

"I'll keep it in mind."

Bright light then started to cover the room as it goes towards my body enveloping it.

"It seems you are starting to wake up from your sleep."

"Well I'll talk to you later then." I said as I wake up from my sleep.
