Bang!
A loud noise echoed through the Grand Master's office of the Bronze Black Cross.
Fortunately, the soundproofing of this building was quite good, at least preventing the diligent subordinates from being frightened.
Diana Milito—that was the name of the furious woman slamming the table.
She was the leader of the Naples branch of the Bronze Black Cross, currently acting as the Grand Master, handling administrative affairs.
At the same time, she was also one of the Bronze Black Cross's heaven's chosen, the future of this prominent magic organization, and the mentor of Lilianna Kranjčar.
"Did that fellow really say that!?"
She roared thus, but the disbelief flickering in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Please show some respect towards that Monarch. Currently, he is the object of my loyalty. So even if it is you, if you speak like that again, I will draw my sword against you!"
The girl named Lilianna spoke with an extremely stiff expression, her tone utterly stubborn. Perfectly adhering to the knight's code, she was like the most flawless knight in every aspect.
Of course, a perfect knight wouldn't be obsessed with romance novels.
"So it is."
Diana pursed her lips slightly, then fell silent.
Knowing her disciple well, she naturally understood that this girl was extremely headstrong.
If she truly continued to show disrespect towards the King named Gilgamesh, perhaps this girl really would disregard their master-disciple relationship and directly draw the exceedingly sharp 'Il Maestro'.
However, after a moment of silence, Diana finally couldn't restrain her curiosity.
"Isn't that man a Heretic God? Why would he still want to slay gods?"
She asked thus, her tone filled with bewilderment.
There were indeed enmities between gods. 'Gilgamesh', as a Steel Hero God, would naturally be enemies with the Sumerian pantheon.
However, after all, Heretic Gods killing each other offered no chance to gain Authorities.
So, why would such a King act so whimsically for something without any benefit?
But hearing this question, Lilianna's face suddenly turned scarlet red, like a fully ripened fruit.
"Um, His Majesty... he might not be a Heretic God, more like... 'revived'."
Thinking about sneaking into Gilgamesh's bedroom last night and everything that happened afterward, Lilianna couldn't help blushing furiously.
After all, a Heretic God purely composed of divine power probably wouldn't have the interest to 'pa pa pa' with a knight like her, right?
Setting aside whether Heretic Gods would 'favor' young maidens, at least Gilgamesh's body felt more like flesh and blood, not like a pseudo-body woven from divine power.
At least, Lilianna, having understood Gilgamesh's body from 'negative distance', had a profound impression of this.
"'Revival' of a Hero from the Age of Gods? But there's no evidence that the sorceresses who performed the summoning ritual prepared his mortal remains."
Diana asked doubtfully, completely unaware that her disciple had already been thoroughly 'devoured' by that King of Heroes.
But he probably wouldn't eat her clean and refuse to acknowledge it, right? Hmm, probably not.
"That, I don't know. In any case, His Majesty is not a Heretic God."
Lilianna spoke casually without hesitation, defending her lord.
Perhaps it was also because her interactions with Gilgamesh made her prioritize her lord's favor even more than adhering strictly to the knightly code.
"Is that so? He also intends to slay gods."
Diana lightly tousled her smooth, long hair, considering this without speaking.
Seeing her mentor still pondering, Lilianna grew somewhat anxious; she didn't want the first task her lord entrusted to her to fail just like this.
"This might be good too. If we successfully support a God Slayer, presumably we can surpass the Copper Black Cross. Paul Blandelli wouldn't be someone we can't contend with anymore."
Diana spoke thus, yet a trace of unwillingness flickered in her eyes.
"Moreover, if that King truly is the one who killed the divine beast Humbaba and obtained the 'Sword of Rupture' that can cleave the world... we fundamentally cannot refuse him!"
She shook her head slightly, casually sketching a spell rune in the air.
"Leave the matter of that King slaying gods to you. The Bronze Black Cross will exert its full strength to complete the summoning of the god."
Immediately, Diana's tone changed, becoming incomparably strict.
"However, regardless, I don't want to hear about any ordinary people dying because of this, or any city being attacked. This god-summoning ritual should be arranged on a deserted island. And, Lilianna, you must remember, you are a knight of the Bronze Black Cross. Do not betray the organization's many years of investment!"
Diana didn't even consider whether Gilgamesh had the strength to accomplish god-slaying.
Perhaps in her mind, Gilgamesh, as the most ancient king, could naturally deal with gods.
Of course, if he failed, performing the summoning on an island in the Atlantic would also prevent damage to the mainland.
"Yes! Please rest assured, Lady Diana!"
At some point, Lilianna's tone had also become slightly stiff. Or perhaps, at this moment, this girl who had already given everything to Gilgamesh had already made her decision.
However, at this time, in the capital of Italy, Rome, within a shopping street, all the tourists were facing a deadly crisis.
Of course, perhaps they themselves were unaware.
Gilgamesh, clad in black motorcycle gear, casually browsed the surrounding products.
Perhaps compared to the dazzling array of goods, the malice inadvertently revealed by these humans brought him more pleasure.
Watching the deceit between merchants, witnessing the violence enacted in alleyways.
Regardless, Gilgamesh 'loved' humanity; it was precisely because of humanity's various interesting aspects that he could find a sliver of amusement in this boring life.
Of course, if Enkidu were still here, he would probably be complaining again right now.
Gilgamesh, giving a disdainful laugh, turned into a dark alleyway nearby.
And behind him, after waiting a short while, a blonde girl also entered the alley as if by chance.
However, no matter how she looked around, she couldn't find the figure that had just entered.
"Daring to audaciously follow this King? Are you prepared to pay the price with your life, mongrel?"
A sudden voice came from behind, startling the girl into jumping forward.
"How could!"
The blonde girl couldn't help but cry out, looking at the man watching her playfully, a trace of annoyance showing in her eyes.
"Forget it! Since you've found me anyway, let's settle this!"
