His crimson eyes narrowed slightly, the body reflected on his retina remained motionless.
The chest pierced by the red spear was gushing blood, soaking the stone slab.
Was something called a god really killed like this?
To be honest, when he threw the Chains of Heaven, he couldn't be sure if this thing would actually work against the gods of this world.
But in terms of results, it was evidently effective.
Look at the Chains of Heaven binding the sky god Anu; it had originally been tightly bound, as if pulled taut by chains, but now it had loosened.
And the long spear he held, seemingly stained with blood, exuding an ominous aura, now felt quite ordinary, like a common metal spear simply coated in red paint.
The reason was that these two items had lost their Noble Phantasm effects; this was the reward he received after reaching 90% progress.
Disposable Noble Phantasm: Chains of Heaven and Disposable Soaring Spear of Piercing Death.
When he first reached 50% progress, there was a chime.
[Progress Reached 50%, Reward: Disposable Noble Phantasm: Chains of Heaven]
Disposable?
Then, when he reached 90% progress,
[Progress Reached 90%, Reward: Disposable King's Treasure...]
When he saw this, he felt a bit excited, but there was more text that followed—
'...a randomly selected Noble Phantasm from the King's Treasure—Soaring Spear of Piercing Death.'
What a perplexing Noble Phantasm; it seemed powerful, yet its performance was hard to describe.
They say that since ancient times, spearmen have had E-rank luck, so he was also troubled about whether he had been cursed.
However, upon closer inspection, he found an explanation: it was not Cú Chulainn's spear, but the god-slaying spear of Scáthach.
As for why he could draw Scáthach's spear from the Gate of Babylon instead of Gungnir, the spear of the great god, he had no idea.
So now that he had killed the sky god Anu, what was the progress?
'Current Progress: 99.9%'
What a frustrating progress; it felt like he was stuck at this point, unable to move forward.
And this time, being able to kill a god so seemingly easily was due to the opponent's underestimation and contempt, allowing the Chains of Heaven to bind him.
Hmm? Another guest has arrived; this is troublesome.
If he had come with the sky god from the beginning, he could have better unleashed the spear's power instead of just using it to pin down a body.
At this moment, multiple figures appeared in the sky; they were the other Babylonian gods who had arrived a moment too late.
Silence—!
Originally, the gods had dared not approach due to the enraged main god Anu, but upon sensing something was amiss, they drew closer, only to be met with a scene that left their minds blank.
The once-mighty main god Anu now lay dead on the altar of the earthly world.
Was he really struck down by a chain thrown by a human, then pierced through the heart like a lamb to the slaughter?
Humans killed a god?
How could this be possible? This was absolutely an impossible truth.
But how could the scene before them be explained?
Should they say that the main god Anu suddenly succumbed to some old ailment, allowing Gilgamesh to stumble upon a dead rat?
What a joke! Their main god had died at the hands of a human like this?
This was a tremendous blow, a colossal humiliation, a grand mockery!
As their pupils constricted, they noticed a large pot on the altar? Cooking a bull?
"The Bull of Heaven?"
The Bull of Heaven was being cooked?
This king of Uruk—Gilgamesh had truly gone mad; no wonder the sky god Anu had been so furious.
"Uruk King, what have you done?!"
The sharp, hoarse voice belonged to a goddess—Ishtar, her voice trembling.
Likewise, her body shook, unsure whether from fear or anger.
In response to such a question, Gilgamesh raised the corners of his mouth in delight.
"What have I done? As you can see, I merely killed one of your lowly ones; is it necessary to make such a fuss?"
Such a flippant tone, such nonchalant words, truly made the gods' souls tremble with rage.
It was too arrogant; they wanted to strangle this human before them.
But without understanding the situation, they hesitated.
They did not believe Gilgamesh could kill the main god Anu, but others might have helped him; who knew what god might have assisted him in secret?
So, without confirming the situation, if they rashly acted, they might find themselves caught in a trap.
That chain binding the main god Anu and the spear piercing his heart were definitely problematic; they were not mere human-made weapons.
After carefully observing their surroundings, they found nothing amiss.
Their gaze returned to the figure on the earthly altar; Gilgamesh had already taken his seat on the throne.
Though he merely sat on a throne ten meters high, he should have looked up at the gods, yet in a daze, his fearless and arrogant aura made the gods feel as if the altar towered above them in the sky, forcing them to look up at this lofty king.
Just a mere human, yet he made the gods feel such a misconception!!!
This left them shocked, ashamed, and furious!
In the next moment, a terrifying divine might filled the heavens and earth; it was another main god of their pantheon—Marduk, descending.
The main god Marduk appeared fearlessly on the altar, beside the body of Lord Anu, reaching for the weapon that had slain him.
"What—!"
Marduk's expression turned to one of shock; the spear stained with blood in his hand was nothing more than an ordinary human-made weapon.
How could this be possible!
Such a weapon could never kill Anu; even without divine power, piercing his body would be unlikely.
Even if it did pierce his body, how could the god's soul be extinguished?
And as he summoned the chain binding Anu, it flew into his hand; upon inspection, it was just an ordinary chain.
"What have you done? King of Uruk, who helped you?"
This was too bizarre; Anu had died by a mortal's weapon?
Completely killed, reduced to cosmic dust; no resurrection method would work, this was an established causal fact.
"I do not wish to answer a second time. As for who helped me? Hehehe, why would I need anyone's help?"
That arrogant attitude, that disdainful superiority, did not seem like a lie to Marduk.
This human king was that proud.
It seemed he would not obtain any useful information, so Marduk's expression turned stern.
In an instant, terrifying apocalyptic thunder gathered in the sky, forming a spear of thunder; it was divine punishment!
