The opulent hotel penthouse.
Within the vast suite, Gilgamesh, holding a wine glass, gazed at the city's night view.
Even though the fall of the Hanging Gardens had plunged the entire city into panic, it did not affect the lives of the upper class.
As long as one had money, one could drink the finest wine and stay in the most luxurious rooms.
Bai Ye glanced at his watch and then said to Gilgamesh, "We'll be saying goodbye soon."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Gilgamesh snorted, "Finally, I won't have to see you anymore."
"Is that so? I'm actually looking forward to meeting you again in the next Holy Grail War," Bai Ye smiled, then raised his wine glass and said, "Cheers."
As Bai Ye spoke, he emptied the red wine in his glass.
Gilgamesh hesitated for a moment, then brought the glass to his lips.
And then...
After Gilgamesh finished his red wine, a faint golden light enveloped his body.
Gilgamesh's body began to gradually fade, then became transparent, and finally turned into a halo of light.
Bai Ye stood up and watched Gilgamesh disappear, smiling, "Farewell, King of Heroes!"
With Gilgamesh's disappearance, the Holy Grail War finally came to an end, marking Bai Ye as the winner of the wish mission once again.
"You have obtained the Holy Grail, and received the mission reward: randomly obtain one Noble Phantasm from the Heroic Spirit you summoned."
Bai Ye instantly became excited.
Regarding the reward for this wish mission, Bai Ye could only describe it in two words: idiotic!
Bai Ye completely understood Li Jiayi's lack of desire to showcase his skills in this wish mission.
His Heroic Spirit was Fuuma Kotaro...
Let alone the difficulty of winning the Holy Grail War, even if Li Jiayi won, what interest would he have in this reward?
What on Fuuma Kotaro's person could make Li Jiayi covetous?
That guy was truly inferior to everyone.
What use were the assortment of kunai, daggers, and shuriken he carried?
It was only after killing Sennar and having Semiramis become Li Jiayi's Servant that Li Jiayi gained some motivation.
After all, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Wine of Pride were quite tempting.
But with the unreliable Fuuma Kotaro, Li Jiayi might not have been able to obtain them. Although Fuuma Kotaro was weak, he carried a lot of miscellaneous items.
Then...
Semiramis's most powerful poison ability happened to be ineffective against Bai Ye, so Li Jiayi simply gave up. Rather than fighting for something he couldn't get, Li Jiayi felt it was better to quickly end the Holy Grail War and complete his own restricted area mission.
However, if the summoned Heroic Spirit was powerful enough, it would be a different matter.
Bai Ye speculated that the chosen ones who triggered the summoning mission were likely Sennar, Cao Mingjin, or Lan Xi, one of the three.
Sennar had a chance to obtain the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Wine of Pride, Cao Mingjin had a chance to obtain the Gate of the Wind and the Sword of Oath and Victory, and Lan Xi had a chance to obtain Scathach's demonic spear.
Furthermore, although it was random, there was no garbage among those three Heroic Spirits, making it almost equivalent to directly obtaining good things. Hence, such a reward was wished for.
And for Bai Ye...
Of course, it was not bad!
After all, Gilgamesh's greatest pleasure was to seek out treasures, and he possessed an countless number of good things.
But...
Gilgamesh, the unlucky child, had too many treasures, so naturally, there were some that were not so good...
Bai Ye felt what it meant to be both pained and happy.
"Enuma Elish, Enuma Elish, Enuma Elish..."
Bai Ye clasped his hands in prayer. With that item, he would take a huge step towards the grand finale.
After all, it was a weapon capable of cleaving worlds, and Bai Ye had personally witnessed the terror of Enuma Elish.
With a casual swing from Gilgamesh, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon was directly rendered useless.
Almost without any doubt, Enuma Elish was on the same level as the Xuanyuan Sword!
Then...
"You have obtained Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm, Gate of Babylon!"
Looking at the words displayed on the light screen, Bai Ye's face was filled with question marks, and he cursed, "Damn it!"
Was Gate of Babylon strong?
Very strong!
However, its strength had prerequisites!
As expected, Bai Ye's mood soured after checking the information for Gate of Babylon.
Gate of Babylon (Noble Phantasm) (White): The treasury of the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, containing endless treasures. Its quality increases with the number of weapons recorded within Gate of Babylon (no upper limit for quality enhancement).
Effect: Record (All obtained weapons can be recorded within Gate of Babylon. Even if the weapon is lost, the weapon recorded within Gate of Babylon will not disappear, but recorded weapons can only be used through Gate of Babylon.)
Royal Authority (Releases a large number of weapons from Gate of Babylon for attack. Its power increases with the number of weapons.)
Currently Recorded Weapons: Frost Sword, Famous Sword Bloodlust, Shadow Battle Axe, Xuanyuan Sword.
Current Quality Enhancement: 4/15
Bai Ye once again experienced the feeling of being both pained and happy.
Bai Ye could already guess the effect of Gate of Babylon to some extent, after all, having watched Gilgamesh use it so often, how could Bai Ye not know?
In Bai Ye's opinion, this item itself was not strong; its strength lay in the weapons stored within it. To put it bluntly, Gate of Babylon was just a warehouse.
Then...
Gate of Babylon was not as useless as Bai Ye had imagined, but Bai Ye had indeed guessed a part of it correctly.
For Bai Ye...
It was a mixed bag!
Bad news: As Bai Ye had guessed, Gate of Babylon itself was not particularly powerful; its strength depended mainly on how many weapons it contained.
Good news: Recording was not the same as storage.
Because Bai Ye had the Steel Slime, Bai Ye's weapons needed to be fed to the Steel Slime, so they couldn't be stored in the Gate of Babylon.
Therefore, the worst-case scenario would be Bai Ye having to "feed" both the Steel Slime and the Gate of Babylon. In that case, he might as well give up playing. No matter how capable Bai Ye was, he couldn't handle that.
Now, as long as Bai Ye had obtained something, he could directly inscribe it into the Gate of Babylon's treasury, and it would not affect the Steel Slime's consumption. This resolved the issue.
"Eh!" Bai Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, "The growth value of the Steel Slime can be rapidly increased by exploiting bugs in the gacha machine. Can the recording of Gate of Babylon also be done similarly?"
Even if the weapons obtained from the gacha machine disappeared, the weapons recorded in Gate of Babylon would not disappear!
Bai Ye immediately looked at the light screen again and was overjoyed!
Among the weapons recorded in Gate of Babylon, there was the Xuanyuan Sword!
Therefore, his guess was likely to be realized, and perhaps he could exploit a bug again! 138 Reading Network
