Heretic God

The air wasn't excessively hot, but the sun was still high, its golden rays sprinkling upon the golden sandy beach, shimmering with a unique beauty.

This was Saint Paul's Island, part of the Cailadi archipelago in southeastern Italy, a half-day's journey from the Italian mainland.

At this moment, on this island serving as a naval port, all warships had been withdrawn, and the soldiers guarding the port had also left with the departing warships.

However, regarding the combat effectiveness and discipline of Italian soldiers, one could just chuckle; after all, that was their tradition since World War II.

So, even though their superiors had issued a direct order, a large number of soldiers were still enjoying the golden sands on Saint Paul's Island.

But this time, for violating military orders, what awaited them was not the punishment of their superiors, but an even greater price.

The price called life.

A colossal being known as a 'Heretic God', an existence far beyond human reach, was about to descend upon this island and then erase all possible life, along with the island itself, from this world.

And the cause of all this was precisely those 'knights' who served as protectors of civilian safety.

"Lady Lilianna, sufficient time has passed since the order for soldiers to leave port was issued. The ships in the naval port have also already set sail towards the mainland ports. Should we begin the summoning ritual? Otherwise, delays may lead to unforeseen complications!"

A knight with a stern face respectfully performed a chest-thumping bow before Lilianna, then spoke calmly. Judging from his sturdy physique, his white, grizzled hair, or the ferocious scar on his face, he hardly seemed like a subordinate to this girl named Lilianna.

However, unfortunately, for the existence known as a knight, experience and tempering were not the sole determinants. For this profession, what mattered more was the insurmountable chasm called talent.

Even though this elderly knight had experienced countless wars, whether it was combat experience or his own training, it was far beyond what Lilianna, not even a quarter of his age, could touch.

If they truly fought, Lilianna was actually confident she could defeat him with ease within a few moves.

Of course, he also had advantages over Lilianna. Decades of experience had made him less rigid; he knew those soldiers enjoying themselves on the beach would be extremely difficult to drive away.

So he concealed all this, concealing the fact that there were still people who hadn't evacuated this island.

Because their time was perhaps running short. After all, Gilgamesh had already taken Erica Blandelli away as a pet. If Paul Blandelli, the Grand Master of the 'Copper Black Cross', found out, no one knew what would happen.

However, if a God Slayer appeared, with the protection of a God Slayer, the Demon King of the Earth, then even if Italy's highest knight, Paul Blandelli, came, he could only swallow his anger.

Of course, perhaps Gilgamesh couldn't accomplish the great feat of god-slaying at all.

But, for some unknown reason, none of the knights who had met Gilgamesh had ever entertained such a thought.

For them, merely having such a thought was itself a sin.

If even Gilgamesh couldn't slay a god, then how could other kings possibly succeed!

They all thought this way; from the moment they saw Gilgamesh, they began to think this way.

That was the aura belonging to a king; no matter who, no matter how stubborn a knight, they had to submit.

They firmly believed that such a great existence, the King of Heroes among heroes, could definitely accomplish the great feat of god-slaying with ease, directly pulling that Heretic God down from its divine throne.

Everyone who had met Gilgamesh thought so.

But this didn't mean they hadn't made any preparations whatsoever.

To minimize losses, only about twenty people had come to this island. Apart from the necessary guards, the rest were all Miko, priestesses chosen from all over the world to summon gods.

And among them, Lilianna was naturally the most outstanding.

"O King, please bestow upon us the divine instrument to summon the Heretic God!"

Seeing that the Miko had finished their preparations, Lilianna spoke softly to the man leaning casually against the altar.

And that man gently opened his half-closed, scarlet, serpentine eyes, a trace of contempt within them—contempt for the Heretic God that was about to arrive.

He didn't respond to the girl's request, but instead reached lightly behind him.

A golden ripple bloomed in the void where nothing had existed.

Then, a scarlet spear was gently drawn out by Gilgamesh from those golden undulations.

"This 'Gungnir', Declaration of the Great God, shall be entrusted to you for now. Do not disappoint this King!"

He spoke calmly, but his tone carried an unquestionable authority.

"I will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty! Even if I must sacrifice my life, I will definitely summon the Heretic God!"

Hearing Gilgamesh's words, Lilianna respectfully received the red divine spear with both hands.

Her light blue eyes, like the most dazzling gemstones, shone with fervent light.

That is Gungnir, the legendary divine instrument! Only this King, who possesses all the treasures of the world, could so casually retrieve it!

She carefully held the divine spear horizontally before her, then respectfully retreated.

However, even as she departed, Gilgamesh made no gesture in response to her loyalty.

The arrogant King merely waved his hand slightly, signaling her to leave quickly.

After all, being overly kind to subordinates was often more harmful than beneficial.

Gilgamesh, deeply understanding the Way of the King, naturally wouldn't make such a mistake.

Even though he had taken in this girl, he had not yet completely accepted her.

After all, becoming the King's consort was not so easy.

And those Miko, seeing the divine instrument Lilianna presented, couldn't help but turn pale.

They could perceive the essence of things from their legends. Even if not entirely accurate, that spear was undoubtedly the 'Declaration of the Great God'.

The stronger the Heretic God summoned, the more dangerous it would be for them, the Miko.

And no matter who it was, none would be as exceedingly dangerous as Odin, King of the Gods.

It could be said that if nothing unexpected happened, these Miko might all die here.

"Do not hesitate! His Majesty said he will protect you all."

Lilianna spoke sternly, and the knights beside her also slightly drew their swords.

Seeing this, the Miko finally stopped hesitating and began to chant the prayer to summon the Heretic God.

And at this moment, the sky also gradually darkened.
