Although they still didn't understand why she was pregnant, the two of them didn't care anymore. Whatever it was, it was the life she was nurturing, the most precious treasure in her heart.
"Alastor, you're not like them, are you?"
Momo asked softly, and Shana, who was standing beside him, immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, the Crimson World needs a demon god to manage it. Alastor is responsible for the final awakening, and this can be done with the power left behind by Best."
"Yes, managers, I'm sorry I didn't disclose the detailed plan to you before."
Momo naturally knew why Alastor apologized. Their previous plan was to destroy Gilgamesh together after awakening the gods. However, judging from the current state of the Crimson World, they were severely weakened after awakening the gods and might not be able to contribute much in the subsequent battles.
Hongshi concealed something on this point.
"It doesn't matter. Whether what you've done is right or wrong, I admire the will of the Crimson World."
One has to admire him. Compared to Momo, that fake good guy, Crimson World is truly selfless and a model of righteousness. Didn't you see how high Shana's chest was held back? Clearly, for Crimson World, this wasn't a sad scene, but a glorious one!
This... it really can't compare.
But perhaps only in this way could Best resonate so deeply with the Crimson World.
"It's about to start, Shana."
"No problem, leave it to me, Alastor!"
Flames erupted from Shana's body, her black hair and eyes turned a blinding red, and the once delicate little girl transformed into a strong-willed one. She flew towards the giant egg, clutching the last remaining power left behind by Best in her hands.
Using this power as its spark, the sacrifice of the Creator God as its body, and the life force of the entire two-dimensional world as its consciousness, the great being created through all of this is the god of the two-dimensional world, the supreme god who will save the two-dimensional world and stand against the three-dimensional world!
This is the goal that Hongshi has been striving for all along, and today it is about to be realized...?
Shana respectfully planted the seed of this power into the enormous silver egg. The pure white flames belonging to Shahar leaped from beyond the boundless world and poured into the egg. Immediately afterward, the silver egg began to expand, completely engulfing the body of the sacrificial serpent.
"Thump, thump!"
A tremendous heartbeat emanated from the giant egg, shaking everyone present, and an aura no weaker than Gaia and Alaya emanated from it. Before anyone could be overwhelmed by this power, the giant egg suddenly shrank to the size of a person.
A mysterious, ethereal light surrounded the giant egg, and the eggshell gradually became transparent, revealing the human form of a woman within. As the eggshell became more transparent, the shape became clearer and clearer.
"Is this our god? He's not all that great, is he?"
Gilgamesh showed absolutely no respect for the gods, a statement that earned him an angry glare from Shana. However, before she could retort, a chilling wail echoed from within the giant egg.
At the same time came an order that no one could resist.
"Hungry……"
"I'm so hungry..."
"I'm so hungry..."
"eat……"
"I want to eat……"
"I'm going to eat you all..."
"Don't run away..."
An arm, as large as a baby's, reached out, ignoring the translucent eggshell, and grabbed at Shana, who was standing right in front of her. Shana was completely stunned by this sight and seemed to have forgotten to run away.
"Shana!"
With a roar, Alastor's enormous demonic form materialized without hesitation. This was a deliberate summoning of divine power; the seemingly infantile hand posed a tremendous threat to him.
However, the scorching flames had no effect, nor did the Crimson World Demon God's body. With a gentle grab from that small hand, Alastor's body suddenly shrank into a ball and fell into that hand.
The little hand reached back into the eggshell, swallowed the crimson flame into its mouth, and gulped it down.
"Too little..."
"It's not enough..."
I'm still hungry!
114 I'm so hungry!
"Alastel!"
Shana gasped in shock. Seeing Alastor being swallowed, she lost her mind for a moment. Tears blurred her vision, and she raised the knife in her hand to strike the giant egg.
However, at this moment, the flames on her body disappeared, and the fiery-haired, scorching-eyed slayer turned into an ordinary human girl named Shana.
How can a human girl survive in the void?
Even the legendary gap-gap youkai, Yukari Yakumo, couldn't do this, so how could Shana possibly do it?
Almost instantly, Shana's body began to collapse, and her desire for revenge ultimately remained just a thought.
However, at the critical moment, a pure white light enveloped her body, preventing it from collapsing. It was at this moment that a hand reached out from the giant egg, towards Shana, whose body had mostly crumbled.
"retreat!"
Mo Mo's face was ashen. He didn't know what had happened, but there was no doubt that the power nurtured within this giant egg was no weaker than Gaia and Alaya, and could even be described as a combination of three-dimensional Gaia and Alaya.
The outward-reaching hand of the silver giant egg caused Momo's will and power to sway wildly.
The seemingly invincible quantum light appears to have lost its excellent properties at this moment.
"it is good!"
Yuki Nagato never wastes words. She and Momo disappeared together with Shana, who could still be saved, leaving only Gilgamesh and Enkidu, who were equally stunned by this huge change.
"Enkidu, what's going on?"
Gilgamesh's words contained no blame, but rather a great deal of schadenfreude. He said, "Is this what you call a god? Is this a god created with righteousness and a spirit of sacrifice? The first thing a created god does is to devour the god who created it to fill its belly. This is utterly ridiculous!"
"Hahahaha, is there any farce more absurd than this in the world? So-called gods are always just like this, insatiable creatures!"
"Jill, should we retreat too?"
Enkidu's face was also grim, but he was not human, and naturally did not possess human emotions. All he had was the same wisdom as Gilgamesh, and an eternal, pure friendship with him.
Enkidu almost instantly abandoned his plan to continue awakening the gods. He was not as righteous and noble as the demons of the Crimson World; all he ever thought about was his best friend Gilgamesh.
"Hungry, so hungry!"
Just then, the hands reached out from the giant egg again, this time naturally heading towards Gilgamesh and Enkidu. The two men's expressions changed drastically, and without a second thought, they began to retreat.
"Damn it, we don't have a way to move immediately!"
At this moment, Gilgamesh realized the biggest problem: they could not instantly teleport across worlds at will like Momo and the SOS Brigade!
After all, it was the serpent of sacrifice that brought them here to meet, but now, the bus has sacrificed itself, leaving only Gilgamesh and Enkidu as passengers.
"There's no other way but to fight it out."
With a roar, Gilgamesh unleashed a torrent of black mud from his body. The mud dripped onto the ground, and the world that Momo had saved, the world that once housed Gensokyo, was once again corrupted.
The black mud was like ink dropped into a ball of water, turning the entire planet black in the blink of an eye. All living things on the planet turned into black mud amidst silent wails, and the endless black mud formed waves on the planet, then rushed towards the outstretched arm.
The tiny arm looked incredibly weak, yet the invincible black mud was once again rendered ineffective against it. The arm continued to tear at the black mud, turning it into clumps of spheres, which she then stuffed into her mouth and swallowed as food.
This scene sent chills down Gilgamesh and Enkidu's spines. What on earth was this thing? What had they awakened?
"Jill, continue! Our power is limitless!"
Even without Enkidu's prompting, Gilgamesh knew what to do. Since strength was insufficient to overcome this formidable enemy, he would simply overwhelm him with sheer numbers.
Countless streams of black mud gathered together, forming a massive, dark portal. The portal slowly opened, and endless streams of black mud churned and flowed out, expanding the entire planet several times its original size in a very short time.
This endless black mud was the power controlled by Gilgamesh. Countless heroic spirits leaped out of the black mud and, under Gilgamesh's control, rushed towards the hand that was reaching out again.
"In short, let's evacuate first."
Gilgamesh watched as that tiny hand relentlessly consumed an endless supply of black mud and heroic spirits, and a chill ran through him. He summoned the Gate of Black Mud; through the passages within the black mud, he could escape this world.
Once he went inside...
"I am the bone of my sword..."
Familiar incantations and voices rang out behind Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Turning around, they saw Archer's gentle smile. That smile seemed to say of someone who had endured too much hardship and was finally able to face death with a sense of relief.
This smile is so similar to the smile on Kiritsugu Emiya's face when he died in a certain world.
"You...you piece of trash!"
Gilgamesh was just wondering why his loyal hound was releasing a Reality Marble here. Then he saw Archer make a throat-slitting gesture at him, his eyes full of mockery.
Red A is stalling for time!
What time is being delayed?
Delay his and Enkidu's escape!
Almost instantly, Gilgamesh and Enkidu unleashed their strongest power. The light of Ea turned black, and the Reality Marble shattered under their attack in less than three seconds. Red A's body and will also shattered.
However, from the very beginning, Archer never expected to survive. Even the destruction of the barrier and the shattering of his body did not change his resolute actions. The pseudo-spiral sword he projected transformed into an arrow, which he fired with his last strength towards the newly formed Black Mud Gate.
Also left for Gilgamesh was that mocking smile.
"I just don't know... whether that guy can keep his promise and take good care of them."
With Archer's final words, his body vanished, and his Reality Marble disappeared. And buried with Archer was the Black Mud Gate that Gilgamesh had just painstakingly summoned.
“Jill…”
"Again!"
Gilgamesh roared, and countless black muds were mobilized once again. The Black Mud Gate was rapidly repaired, and the endless stream of heroic spirits and black mud almost buried the silver-white egg.
However, at that moment, a scream that sounded like both a baby's and a woman's shriek came out of the giant egg, and all the black mud and all the heroic spirits disappeared without a trace along with this scream.
The next moment, countless arms traversed time and space, directly grabbing at Enkidu and Gilgamesh.
I'm so hungry!
115 Unsatisfied Desires
This time, their arms were engulfed in crimson flames, and they wore black armor. The crimson flames seemed to originate from Alastor, while the black armor came from Gilgamesh's black mud.
Fear gripped Gilgamesh's heart, and with a roar, he unleashed all his power. The power belonging to the supreme god coalesced at his chest—a power that could be described as both rage and limitless.
Unlike the power to grant wishes in the Crimson World and the trading power of Momo, Gilgamesh's power is purer. The angrier and more arrogant he is, the closer his power gets to infinity. This power is best suited to be wielded by the Saiyans of the Dragon Ball world, yet they perished under Gilgamesh's power.
After all, Gilgamesh was a proud king, and the wrath of a scoundrel paled in comparison to the wrath of a king.
