A Gift

"It seems you have certain issues, little Alexander. You should retreat and calm your mind. Reconsider your actions and think of this as a second chance I give you as a good man that I am," said Gilgamesh, looking at that child with eyes full of disdain.

Alexander's words were like sharp thorns, and he replied, "Holding onto that treasure won't only be your death but also the downfall of the Kingdom. Smart are those who live, who take only what they need and leave the rest to others. But being selfish and arrogant like you will lead to your doom. Lower your head, and we'll accept your goodwill."

"Who is this worm?" Eris asked Roxy, not understanding why they were having this conversation with an unknown idiot.

"I don't know, maybe just someone seeking attention," Roxy said. She didn't know who Alex was, but there are many fools in this world who always seek attention in the most stupid ways.

"If you aim high, you must have the strength to back it up. We are tired of killing idiots like you all the time. You should lower your head and apologize, as my dear Gil has given you a chance to live another day." At that moment, Eris, who was on the huge pig, pointed at Alexander with her finger and scolded him.

Eris's statement made Alexander's expression turn from red to green. Then, he coldly frowned and remained arrogant in front of Gilgamesh. "My patience is limited. Hurry up and hand over the divine weapon, or else, suffer the consequences."

At this moment, Alexander unleashed his aggressive aura and grew impatient.

Gilgamesh burst into laughter. Even in front of everyone, he remained indifferent and calm. "What if I don't hand over the treasure?"

"You will only die by my hands..." Alexander responded with just one sentence. It was filled with a killing intent like cold steel, causing chilling shivers in the others.

"You will become the enemy of the entire world if you don't hand over the treasure. You will be hunted down and eventually killed by everyone," one of the men behind Alexander mentioned these words.

Desire, greed, and something else were being released around the place without anyone realizing it.

It was like the callus of desire, an imperceptible poison.

"Enemy with everyone in this world? Killed by everyone? I'm so scared, ah..."

If there was a reason why Gilgamesh had let time pass without killing these people, it was that there was something bothering him that he had just deciphered. Right now, the boy called Alexander was actually a young man named Alex. What he could see in the future was tiny, and in the past, everything was blank. But there was only one possibility for this to happen: it was the Human God, the idiotic pig that never seems to give up.

Gilgamesh now more than ever wanted to have fun, so he mocked and patted his chest. Then, he narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "Enemy with everyone in this world? Everyone in this world, only with you? All worthless! And what if the whole world were my enemy? I'd still kill you without mercy!"

"You're a brave young man, but sometimes the weight of your words is nothing compared to reality... The world is dark and mysterious; you must be careful."

"I'm so scared..."

"I wonder how many..."

Roxy, who looked at Gilgamesh, felt that something was wrong, and at that moment, she heard a voice in her mind: "My dear Roxy, stay alert and don't separate from Eris... For some reason, don't be near Richard either."

"How many of you think you'll come out of this alive?" Richard took a few steps forward and said, "Do you really think you're facing someone you can defeat? Rethink!"

At this point, an old man with a hat next to Alexander took a few steps forward. His intention was very clear; he wanted to unite everyone against a single man who was actually terribly powerful.

This old man came out with a completely different momentum, imposing like a giant mountain, standing still like iron chains blocking the clouds. Even though he suppressed his own aura, when he came out, everyone felt very oppressive, and the air was suffocating.

When this old man took a step forward, even the eyes of the old master Richard narrowed. He felt a great threat, knowing that he had encountered an enemy much stronger than him!

"Only one man can give this feeling, and that's a Sword God..."

Alexander looked at the old man, who was his master, and smiled arrogantly.

"A Sword God!"

At that moment, countless people trembled just by being in the presence of such a powerful human being.

"Today, we have a mission; this is destiny..."

Gilgamesh smiled and replied, "You're just a child in my eyes. My swords have touched more blood than you've seen in your life. I suppose you've made your decision, then I'll consider making mine."

The old man with a long sword on his back said, "Invader from another world, you don't need to worry. If you lower your head, we can all leave here alive."

"Will you?" Gilgamesh knew that these puppets only wanted him to bow his head, as if he were a mere human in the eyes of a Stupid God. But it's normal; the little that the Human God has seen is enough for him to believe that simple traps could kill him.

After a few seconds, he looked at everyone around him, and Gilgamesh said, "I am a person with a bad habit. When others want to oppose me, my blood can't help but boil, and I have to cleanse my beautiful swords with blood. Since this is a mistake, then that's fine; I like mistakes."

This time, Gilgamesh had decided. He looked at everyone and with a sinister intent of death, he asked with the authority of a man, "Who do you think you are? A damn Apostle of the Human God? Even if you are the same God, I won't bow my head; I never did, and I won't now. Will I be the enemy of the whole world? I love that title; I'll crush you all as I always have. I'll live with my own, and then I'll seek out your God and kill him. Very well, come all who want to die today."

This unrestrained arrogance caused everyone to burst into laughter. Alexander took a step forward and laughed, "You're a damn foreigner from another world, how come you're so arrogant?"

Gilgamesh rejoiced loudly and spoke with disdain while looking at Alexander. "It's a pity your sweet sister died. But are you blaming me for something that's fate? I saved your life, you should thank me, you damn wretch."

"Enough words, I'll kill you!" Alexander unleashed his battle aura, and with a swing of his sword, a blade headed towards Gilgamesh.

"A trash like you has no right!" Eris immediately attacked before Gilgamesh could move. A single sword movement forced Alexander to step back several paces. With her beauty and that beautiful armor, she looked at Alexander with contempt. "A puppet has no right to speak."

Being looked down upon by Eris infuriated Alexander to the point where he began to tremble with an ugly and pale expression on his face.

"Accept your death!" Alexander seemed to lose his mind and roared with force, his battle aura exploding with power beyond what a normal human could achieve.

"Get lost!" After a shout, orange flames surged like ocean waves. Eris maneuvered and blocked Alexander's strike. In the blink of an eye, her battle aura caused several sacred lights to appear, and delicate tattoos emerged on her skin.

"A mere apostle who wants to touch my man, you must be ten times stronger if you want to fight me." Eris stood up with complete dominance. She was as determined as a war goddess.

"Well, well... Miss Eris, people will say I'm intimidating a little girl; that wouldn't be a good outcome." Gilgamesh calmly said as he pulled Eris back and held her by the hips while whispering something in her ear. After that, he looked at everyone with indifference. "Trying to snatch my treasure... I have no choice but to kill you all. One on one, that would be me intimidating you. All of you, come. Puppets of a God who doesn't value you, in my eyes, you're all worse than shit. I could kill you all with one hand."

"You ignorant fool, let's go and tear him apart!" Gilgamesh's arrogance infuriated everyone, and one of them exclaimed furiously.

"Since you're seeking your own death, I'll help!" Alexander, with a powerful aura, took a step forward. Not only Alexander but also the two Emperors of the North, the elderly man with the long sword. They all wanted to tear apart Gilgamesh.

But that wasn't all; they also wanted to eliminate Gilgamesh's group, including his two women.

"Indeed, those who know me understand that I'm intimidating the weak. My bad..."
