(Would a hero king like Gilgamesh also expect immortality?

People felt an indescribable emotion echoing in front of a king who was so real and did not hide his desires like a friend.

Some people who had beautiful fantasies showed blank expressions.

But surprisingly, they did not feel disillusioned by Gilgamesh's honesty.

What's going on?

Or——)

"This way, we can defeat death and wipe out the shame of our friend being taken away by death."

"As I was daydreaming, I seemed to hear the cheers of the people of Uruk.

——If I bring immortality back to my city, I will definitely be greeted by unprecedented praise and praise from the people."

"In fact, in the final analysis, I am just a human son of flesh and blood. Just imagining that scene makes me excited."

"But vanity also grew along with this high enthusiasm.

I noticed my appearance at that time. I had always I didn't realize that my body was already quite shabby."

(At this moment, Gilgamesh made people feel that he was more like a flesh-and-blood person than the perfect king.

...Everyone was shocked. That indescribable feeling became stronger.

--Only there was no disappointment.)

"Before returning to Uruk, let's wash ourselves first. With this intention, I walked into the nearby spring pool. I wanted to relieve my fatigue."

"That was the fatigue accumulated over decades. The clear spring in the pool was like the breeze sweeping across the sky, and also like the holy snow on the sacred peaks, warm and cool, gently soothing my body."

"--Peaceful."

"I really thought so. This kind of freedom, as if both the body and the mind were liberated from long-term shackles."

"At this time, I was not immersed in my own achievements. I was not for the spiritual herbs or immortality, but was more intoxicated and devoted, wanting to shout to the world with all my strength."

"That was the first time I really felt joy."

Chapter 466 Why do I need immortality? I don’t need it at all!!

‘I felt joy for the first time in my life! ’

Harut was silent, and Yuzuha stared at those words in a daze.

For the first time, I felt how strong the loneliness of being a king was.

It seemed that at this moment, the Hero King had truly unloaded the burden on his shoulders, and was happy from the bottom of his heart, resting, and bathing his body.

At this moment, he forgot ‘everything’, but the truth was even more moving.

…

"Collecting wealth is my instinct, just like breathing. It is not happiness."

"But at that moment, for the first time, I was happy that I could be born into this world, and I was sincerely and deeply grateful."

"Although I have always been praised for "having a human perspective", until that moment, I could not be considered a human."

"I was freed from all constraints. There was no confusion, no fear. No obsession and no mission. I just let the overwhelming sense of omnipotence wander and run in my body, and then trembled because of it."

"I couldn't help thinking like that-"

"-This is the leap of life. This is the reward of the self! This joy that can be compared to the conclusion of the birth of the universe, I can enjoy it forever and ever as I please!"

"But, what awaits such a fool like me is only The snake just stole the medicine. I lost the spiritual herb, and the snake got a new body and left. "

"——Looking at that scene, the unbearable self-mockery dominated my whole body, and I couldn't help laughing out loud. I almost laughed my body into a twisted state and laughed out of control. It was like I was crazy and couldn't stop at all."

"Look! This is the conclusion for me!"

(...! The little princess lay on the bed while reading a book, and subconsciously grabbed the sheets.

Imagine the scene of Gilgamesh laughing convulsively.

At the same time——'Gilgamesh, won't he go crazy?'

In the little princess's opinion, Gilgamesh's medicine was stolen, and as expected——he still couldn't accept it! It's over, he was so emotional!

But——)

"I laughed loudly at my own stupidity!"

"What I finally got, what I am proud of, is just, just "nothing"! Ah... but it's not all in vain, right? Because I finally understood it thoroughly!"

"--At the end of the day, when everything ends, there will be nothing left in my hands. This is the only reward I will get after I've given everything!"

"The fullness of life and the joy of life that I felt for the first time are all fleeting and disappear in an instant."

"What I can have in the end is nothing!"

"This is the world. This is the world I have been witnessing and will continue to witness! How can an immortal body understand the taste of this enlightenment?"

(A series of words, completely different from the imagined complaints... but more hysterical, thorough human questions and interrogations. That feeling is like the sudden realization when you lose something precious but discover more precious truths and emotions.

Hermitus: "...! From existence to nothingness, the evolution of life, the world?")

"Eternal life is just an unrealistic dream of ordinary people, just a foolish dream of bastards who think that living forever will never end!"

"Why do I need immortality? I don't need it at all! My eyes have foreseen the entire future from the beginning, and I have no reason to fear death!!"

Like a mountain torrent collapsing, like thunder resounding through the sky - deafening words.

With a strong, tangible spirit and the spirit of a king, in those words, it is openly displayed in front of people!

Gilgamesh's words at this moment sounded extremely arrogant and convincing.

Let the little princess be stunned.

The son of the blacksmith, the young master of the nobles, the cat-eared girl Yuzuha, and another hero king named Harut...

At this moment, they all seemed to see a king who stood tall and upright.

Then the storm came even more violently! ! Everything is not over yet, the king's shocking speech will reach its peak.

"I existed in that era and have long been immortal. Even if I cannot grow with the years and the sky and the earth, it is enough for me to see through the distant future!"

"——The oldest story of mankind——. As long as I am still a hero that is constantly praised by future generations, my responsibility is fulfilled."

"All, all stories are just this simple. I was born as a human in that era, experienced joy and happiness, and died as a human again."

"I'm sorry. I said that I was perfect since birth, but this is still inaccurate. I also had an immature period."

"I spent almost my entire life to gain real growth. My body spent time with friends and Being nurtured, the spirit transformed into maturity with this epiphany. "

"——————At that moment, my long childhood finally came to an end."

(After the body, the spirit finally matured, the middle school period passed, and the wise king came!)

"I looked up at the vast blue sky above, and the vastness continued to extend, heading towards the increasingly distant other side. Even my eyes need to go through many hardships to see everything."

"——My body will decay and dissipate in this era, but human cognition will never stagnate. It will continue to grow until one day even the light of hundreds of millions of years ago can be clear——"

The familiar words appeared in front of everyone again.

His body will eventually decay and dissipate with the times.

But he has understood...

This is the life of a human being! He felt the joy of being born and dying as a human being.

Yes! Human cognition will never stagnate and move forward!

Civilization will continue to grow——that's enough.

"Hero King!" At this moment, countless people who saw this couldn't help but mutter the name in a lost voice.

At this moment, they finally understood how deep and far-reaching the meaning of that name really was.

——The oldest story of mankind——.

Thinking about what was introduced at the beginning...

It was the earliest heroic epic in the history of human literature, belonging to the Sumerian mythology region.

"Wow wow wow!!" Claire suddenly burst into tears and cried like a girl.

She thought of Riku and the others...

Thinking of the countless human regions, the kings who watched over the continuous progress of mankind and witnessed the growth of mankind in the mythological system of the past.

These are the heroes of mankind, with glory, achievements, and beautiful legends that are worth singing forever.

Their spirits should have lived forever!

"As long as I am still a hero who is constantly praised by future generations, my responsibility is fulfilled." Seeing Gilgamesh's words at this moment.

Facing that realization——

In the capital, in various bookstores——and in many rooms and streets, people who are reading the story of Gilgamesh have complicated feelings.

Some people clenched their fists and suddenly realized...

If, if it weren't for Andersen's appearance.

They don’t know the legend of Gilgamesh, nor do they know heroes like King Arthur, Licushubi, the Grand Duke, and Sigurd.

What a terrible thing!

‘Have humans forgotten so many important stories? ’

Chapter 467: The so-called king is great in life and glorious in death!

“…I saw it. Such a scene appeared before my eyes. It was a gratifying future”

“Now that I think about it, maybe I have lost my pursuit”

“I have already obtained everything that can be obtained. This era will no longer make me feel any joy”

“All I can do is sleep in a pure body - what’s wrong with experiencing death a few more times?”

“Until the end of the world”

“Until the day when humans cross my star court and sail out of the dark sea - reach the end of the sky and get a conclusion”

That is the dream he saw.

He faced the joy of being a human being that quietly blossomed in his heart with a tolerant attitude, and embarked on the journey back to Uruk.

This is the end of Gilgamesh’s adventure. Compared to the truth he had realized, the elixir of immortality was nothing.

"--Ah, but after Uruk was rebuilt, I secretly went to the abyss to retrieve it. Even if I don't want immortality anymore, it's still a rare treasure"

(Little Princesses:!!!……………………I actually retrieved it?!

Then the girls were a little amused and a little helpless. Isn't this the hero king who has not been liberated from the desires of his ego?!)

"Hmph. How can you talk like that? Accumulating treasure is like an instinct for me, don't worry about it, just shut up."

As if he saw the slander in everyone's heart, the king suddenly spoke.

...!

...? ! !

Everyone was shocked and froze, just like being caught talking bad about someone behind their back.

And it was unbelievable!

Damn! Oh, scratch, scratch! Claire and the others exclaimed.

This hero king is going to be amazing!

Across the ages - talking to them through epics? !

(Homura Andersen: No, that's just your illusion.

It's just a little psychological trick. What he did was just to reproduce Gilgamesh's reaction.

If it weren't for the previous foreshadowing, and if he subconsciously complained about the King of Heroes in his heart, he wouldn't have the illusion that the King of Heroes was talking to "me"!

But Homura never said that the people to whom the King of Heroes was telling his story were humans from another world.)

"Everything is prepared, and there is no need to worry. You must have heard this, right? Maybe one day you will encounter a situation where you must rejuvenate."

(The elixir of immortality - no, it should be called the elixir of rejuvenating now. Did Gilgamesh get it for the second time?
