The blue clear sky was greeted by a spectacular show of golden and red that dyed the whole air with their colors. Everyone who looked at the sky was surprised and so couldn't believe it.
Two teorites showers cut through the sky and left nurous rays of light across the horizon. The two sides drew a magnificent scene in the blue that could rival the true teors showers.
The mana was stirred over the whole country, which made it hard to look at the show clearly as the two sides t.
The thunderous roars filled the whole horizon as it turned into a sea of flas and stirred the mana further.
Thousands of Noble Phantasms, magecraft, laser beams, and bullets were clashing like teorites showers. An explosion after another kept echoing in the calm sky showing the huge battle aftermath. Although it should be called a war by now.
The heavy fire from Leo was still going against Gilgash treasury as both sides looked at the sea of flas in the middle without moving. Several stray shots passed through the attacks and hit their sides, which broke so of Gilgash's portals and hit Leo's ships in their shield to slow them down.
Although they seed to block the attacks, they were aiming directly at each other, but because of that, they ended up clashing in the air as the mana filled the air because of explosions.
Glancing at his portals getting destroyed, Gilgash lifted his arm before activating the Gate of Babylon remotely. A giant gate appeared above Leo and as lightning and electricity were flashing from it.
Sensing the breath of divinity, Leo calmly looked up to see the gate that was about to drop the heaven thunder on his head. Honestly, he was still impressed by the Gate of Babylon of Gilgash.
Before he ca to this world, he thought it was just a treasury, but in fact, it's an inseparable part of history.
As long as it was created, there's a treasure about it, this line describes this treasury perfectly.
Not only it contains Noble Phantasms and items, but even ready to use spells and attacks are actually stored there. Gilgash wasn't exaggerating when he said that his knowledge, which is his Clairvoyance, Sha Naqba Imuru, can't see the true limit for it.
"However, if you're planning to surpass the serpent of wisdom with this, then you're very wrong…" Leo's eyes flickered with a bright gleam before the sides of ships opened and showed a couple of hidden cannons.
Gilgash opened more portals around the ships without caring about his mana consumption. The gate shone with different thunder-based magecraft from the Age of Gods before they shot from all directions. The ships were focusing on the frontal attack, so these attacks ca very suddenly.
However, the side cannons were charging with blue and red mana before they shot several beams in the air. Like having a mind of their own, the beams beca arcs in the air and crushed the magecrafts.
They almost beca homing laser beams before tearing down all the gate in the surrounding and moving towards the giant gate.
The gate shot the heaven thunder as the golden lightning fell down like a monster roaring in the sky. The beams did an arc and circled around the thunder before they attacked it from all directions.
*BOOOOOM!!!*
Another ear-splitting explosion filled the air before the flas and sparks from it filled all the surrounding, especially around Leo and his fleet.
Gilgash frowned while looking at the flas. Despite having his clairvoyance, he couldn't see Leo under the flas.
Suddenly, he widened his eyes slightly before the ship under his feet glowed. In a glimpse of a second, the ship turned into a flash and appeared far away from the previous location.
Several shots and beams passed the previous place before they lost their power and exploded mid-air.
Looking at his previous location, Gilgash saw Leo with his green lines web and fleet floating behind it. Each one of the ships had a weird looking blue magic-circle with a pink glow under them.
"Spatial jump chanism is 0.33145 second late. Applying Palkia's concept to the magecraft formula lowered the stress on the energy source, but the trajectory needed to be re-calculated" Leo looked at his hand as it showed a blue-pink magic-circle.
This is the spatial jump system of the ships, which isn't their strong point, to be honest. Leo had to augnt it with Palkia's concept to fight a quick battle, but he still needed to re-calculate the values and trajectories each ti he used it, even if that is simple for him.
"Anyway…" Leo pointed at Gilgash as all the magic-circles started glowing before he said "... Bang"
With a blue-pink glow, Leo and his fleet turned into light particles and disappeared from their place. Gilgash, who saw this, waved with his hand before several gates appeared all around the ship of light.
At this mont, different ships appeared in all directions around Gilgash while aiming at him with all their guns. However, Gilgash already saw this as his gates were glowing with an intense light.
Like a machine gun, the gates shot nurous attacks and weapons at the battleships, however, they were blocked by the heavy heavy fire from the cannons.
But when the battleships wanted to aim at Gilgash, the light of the ship turned into a flash and appeared on top of a battleship.
Before it had a chance of a reaction, the Noble Phantasms fell down like rain and drowned the battleship.
*BOOOM!!!*
Sparks and electricity flashed on top of the ship before it got overwheld by the Noble Phantasms and exploded. The ship turned into a curtain of flas as its energy core left several energy waves in the air.
At that mont, several ships teleported around Gilgash and surrounded him in their attack range.
The bullets and shells filled the area around Gilgash in an instant. He glanced at these attacks before he turned into a flash of light and disappeared. However, it wasn't easy.
Like locking him down, the battleships kept teleporting next to Gilgash and keeping up with the ship of light's speed, which made him frown.
All of Gilgash's gates started shooting without rcy as the battleship did the sa. The flash of light crossed a huge distance towards the sky in monts and the particles of light followed it as they appeared from place to place.
Wherever they appeared, a lot of explosions filled the space as the battlefield changed place to a very huge height.
On the ground, Archer looked at the light trail and the explosions that kept following it until they disappeared from the limits of his vision.
"Like they had to show off their big guns… Can soone be this bored?" Archer shook his head while looking at the flas and explosions disappearing in the sky.
"I don't know and I don't wanna know either" Rin also shook her head. Even if she couldn't see what Archer saw because of his eyesight, she can hear the loud impacts from here.
"Are you fine?" Ritsuka couldn't help but ask Nero, who was looking at the sky without a word.
"Umu, I'm fine" Nero shook her head before smiling at Ritsuka.
"I see…" Ritsuka didn't ask more even if she noticed that sothing had changed.
They were looking at Gilgash and Leo taking the battle towards the sky as they lost all the vision on them, except the constant explosions.
It was weird because they had a feeling that these two were just throwing stuff at each other to see who was the best.
"Fou?" Suddenly, Fou, who was in Ritsuka's arm, raised his head as his ears were twitching.
Looking at the direction of the mountain, Fou's nose shook for a mont before he jumped from Ritsuka's arms.
"Fou, what happened?" Ritsuka looked at Fou jumping on the ground, which attracted the attention of everyone here.
With quick steps, Fou sprinted forward before he looked at Ritsuka and signaled her to follow.
"He wants us to follow?" Rin lifted her eyebrow before she said " Good, let's go, Archer"
"Yes…" Archer nodded before he stopped and looked at Rin with a weird look. He said " You're going to follow him?"
"Of course, he looks like a very high-level familiar, and from what I saw, he doesn't seem to be simple" Rin felt her reasoning was correct, which made Archer speechless.
She isn't wrong, but this didn't stop Archer from sighing and covering his face{ This isn't just a familiar, he's a killing machine made to hunt humans}
"I agreed!" Nero nodded while looking at the weird fluffy creature that sent the sa waves as Leo.
"It decided then, let's go before we lose him" Ritsuka said before they went after Fou, who deliberately lowered his speed for them.
Archer looked at everyone following the killing machine as he sighed at his current life before following.
anwhile, in the sky, the chase already reached more than 30km above the earth before it slowed down. It would have taken a shorter ti if they didn't fly in a completely chaotic way.
All that was behind them, except the huge number of explosions, was broken Noble Phantasms, Battleships, and shells, which turned into light particles and disappeared.
Gilgash looked at the earth below before he glanced to his side to see Leo, who was just teleporting quickly. He opened his gates and aid at him imdiately.
Leo's main ship cannons were activated before they fired down all Gilgash's Noble Phantasms or the gates that didn't shoot yet.
Suddenly, a ship teleported in front of Gilgash as all its cannons were charging with a huge amount of mana, however, before it shot, Gilgash just used EA to blast through it with his ship.
*BOOOM!!!*
The battleship turned into a curtain of flas and smoke in Gilgash's face, but they didn't pass his ship protection as he just went through it.
Despite going at this speed, Gilgash was able to see clearly, which made him widen his eyes when he saw what was behind the smoke.
"FIRE!!!" Leo, on his main ship, was aiming all his cannons at Gilgash as the heavy fire filled all the surrounding in the instant.
Gilgash looked at the rain of bullets rushing towards him before his activated Gate of Babylon and flying forward.
*BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!* *BOOM!!*
Speeding through the explosions, Gilgash reached Leo before he raised the roaring EA. The green lines around Leo tried to stop him, but a golden light from Gilgash knocked them away briefly, which allowed him to advance.
"ENUMA ELISH!!" Announcing the real na of the Noble Phantasm, Gilgash waved forwards as EA shot a huge red lighting storm that was ripping the world apart.
The rules, laws, concepts, reality, everything was getting severed by EA's power before it rushed towards Leo.
"OI! Are you trying to make lose my job?!" Leo snapped at this red storm before he raised his lance.
"Rhongomyniad!!!" Waving the spinning lance, Leo stabbed forward as a huge dark lightning storm rushed forward.
*BAAAAAAAAMMM!!!*
The two hurricanes clashed again in the sky, however, this clash was more intense as the shockwaves rushed everywhere and made the area completely distorted before they crumbled into sparks of mana.
Gilgash blasted through the mana sparks as he turned into a flash of light. It took him an instant to reach Leo and attacked with EA. Unlike the last ti, the sword was still charging, but Gilgash didn't stop as he sent the mana and waved.
Leo lifted his eyebrow before he blocked with his Rhongomyniad. However, unlike the last ti, EA wasn't charged enough, so Leo attacked with his physical strength and knocked Gilgash away.
Strangely, Gilgash didn't resist as he moved backward with his ship before his mana increased.
Golden gates appeared around Leo as they shot all they could from magecraft before Leo's main ship reacted and shot them down.
Explosions filled the area again before Gilgash rushed again, however, this ti, Leo saw sothing that made him teleport away.
In his last position, so hidden portals shot golden chains before they lost power and disappeared.
"How many tis do you need to understand that I'm not a part of the clay club, so keep that chain away from !!" Leo's eyebrow twitched while looking at chains in Gilgash's hands.
Unlike the true Enkidu, who probably can stop him for a short ti, this chain can't stop him for a mont. However, this wasn't the real problem.
The mont when Leo saw this chain, he had a very uncomfortable and disgusted feeling when imagining it on his body, especially after Gilgash's earlier words. He will just say no and will probably activate his Noble Phantasm if that chain was 3 ters away from him.
"....." Gilgash didn't answer as his eyes were glowing red and burning with anger.
"Hey, I know you're angry, but calling everyone mongrel while you're one is ridiculous!" Leo couldn't help but say that out loud.
"Nonsense! The king's words are law and only is allowed to call mongrels, mongrels! You mongrel!" Gilgash was boiling from anger as his Gate of Babylon, EA, and Enkidu were flashing with mana.
"Heh" Leo chuckled at this amount of mongrels' words, which made Gilgash's anger reach a new high before gates appeared around him.
However, they were instantly destroyed by Leo's main ship, quick magecraft guns. However, the light flashed again as Gilgash and his ship turned into a teor towards Leo.
"But I guess this is approaching an end" Leo said while looking at Gilgash's remaining mana. Using the spatial jump, Leo made a distance with the flash of light before shooting his homing laser beams.
Gilgash kept using EA and charging it this whole battle to stop Leo's attacks, so although he still has a considerable amount of mana and can use Gate of Babylon's items, he can't keep going forever because his chance to win will beco less and less.
"Hmph!" Gilgash knew that very well, but he just stared at Leo coldly while piloting the ship. The flash of light crossed the sky as the beams weren't able to reach it at all before losing their power.
Halting in mid-air, Gilgash did a surprising turn in the air before he shot several Noble Phantasms at Leo.
"I guess this is it" Leo shrugged his shoulders at Gilgash's actions before he raised Rhongomyniad that was releasing its authority all this ti.
The main battleship cannons shot all the Noble Phantasms before they tried to lock Gilgash, however, he disappeared again at it left while aiming with EA.
"Yet, this is a serious question from to you, who saw the sa. What did it look like for you?" Leo's words made Gilgash lift his eyebrow before he said " Are you an idiot to ask this question? Or it's more ridiculous for a being without original sin, to carry all those sins on his shoulders. "
".... We're all idiots, one way or another" Leo nodded like he got his answer before ripples of energy were released from Rhongomyniad. With those ripples, the area stability and sturdiness started changing to reach a higher state that made Gilgash slightly surprised.
"This is a sight to behold, a Beast making sure the world stays safe" Gilgash grinned at this sight before looking at Leo raising his lance up high.
"Well, I won't deny that I'm very weird, even among the Beasts. But what is so good about being normal?" Leo shook his head before smiling while looking at the earth beneath him and saying " I saw a lot of different scenes and people, but I've to say that what left it mark in this history is those who broke the normal situation to achieve sothing"
"Slaying dragons, discovering the unknown, and even defying gods" Leo looked at Gilgash before he said "Those were all out of the ordinary, bizarre, and weird for the people around them, even impossible"
"For , normal is tasteless and boring. No one can guess what's going on in my mind, even if there was a book about it" Leo laughed at this because it made a funny scene in his head.
"Hmph! Aren't you full of yourself, Morning Star?" Gilgash just shrugged off those words, even if they made sense in this vision.
"Maybe, I am. After all, I'm a prideful angel" Leo shrugged his shoulders and stabbed the surface of the ship with the lance.
A bright light appeared in the surrounding before the lance recovered to its holy form and started rotating. Tusk appeared behind Leo as the spin speed increased further, but there was sothing off about him because he was shining slightly.
"Again with this" Gilgash lifted his eyebrow while looking at Rhongomyniad releasing it authority of the anchor of reality that stabilizes the world. However, EA in his hand was shining as its power was charging.
"Well, it isn't all that important" Leo shrugged before closing his eyes as the ships, except the main one, turned into light particles and flew with the spin. The area suddenly beca filled with green light particles.
Made In Hell also sank into Leo's shadow as Leo stood on top of the main ship with his lance stabbing its surface.
"You know, humanity isn't all that bad, even if I want to deny it. There's a lot of good and wonderful people, but in the end… This doesn't matter for a Beast!" Leo snapped his eyes open as his necklace opened up and all the main ship shone with a bright light.
The whole ship started to lose in normal form and transform into sothing else, especially at the front as it got bigger.
"We are only here to show the worst in humanity and beco the enemy they need to defeat!" the intense light beca stronger before Leo twisted the lance on top of the ship.
He didn't know when a halo appeared above Leo's head and black wings were wide open on his back. However, he didn't waste ti as EA shone with a bright light before he raised it up high.
"Even if most of us didn't want to admit it, we're here to be a trial that they need to pass…" Leo said those words calmly before the main ship showed it true form. Its colors beca red and golden as its front had a dragon head. It literally beca a chanical dragon-type battleship.
Gilgash glanced at the new ship before he grinned like seeing sothing funny and said " Ignorance as a sin and regrets as a goal. Even this king has to admit that it's a magnificent sight…"
Gilgash's eyes, after this confrontation, were able to see the sin and goal that Leo carries in his existence. The aning behind his 'garden' and those Ten Crowns, which are just a gift and a curse.
Honestly, those Ten Crowns don't have a single battle ability in Gilgash's eyes, they are only sothing that achieved the impossible by using the humanity illusions, which was giving the original sin to an angel.
"FUHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Gilgash laughed before he raised EA as the storm grew larger and started to distort the world around it.
For Gilgash, an angel like Leo, is free from all sins, even if he fell. However, he still carries those sins on himself while manifesting as the Beast that represents the ignorance of humanity.
"Yeah, it doesn't matter anymore…" Leo said before he looked at Gilgash charging EA.
Besides being soone similar, Leo hadn't had a reason to go all out in this bullet hell battle. Maybe one full power Rhongomyniad without giving him a chance will do the trick, but he still played this ga, which he had to admit that was interesting.
{I feel like I failed as a Beast, not like I care, of course. But I guess it's not all that bad} Leo smiled slightly before he twisted the handle of Rhongomyniad again.
Honestly, Leo still having his emotions and thoughts, even with all that he saw in his Origin, is an impossible feat. To still feel like a human, even if there's a lot of species that have the sa feelings, but people like to call these feelings humanity, so just be it.
"There's no use to wait, Tusk, just do it" Leo sighed before his expression beca serious. The ship under him opened its front as the dragon's head was wide open.
Energy and mana started gathering inside the mouth as it looked like the dragon was sucking the air around.
At this mont, Tusk looked at Leo, who nodded at him before a bright light filled him. In a few seconds, Tusk changed his shape from a small flying stand to a stand that has a more distinctly human shape.
It had arms and small feet that had nails on them while his shoulders had a star mark. This is Tusk act 3. He imdiately beca transparent before lting into the ship.
At the dragon's mouth, the absorption speed of mana increased to a ridiculous degree before it started to form a black point. A singularity was made just by the pure speed of the spin, which is a use of Tusk act 3 ability, spatial wormholes.
By using the spin, Tusk can make a point of infinite rotation on surfaces, even if it isn't true infinite because they disappear after a while. However, Leo can make it anywhere, even on his palm.
Everything was getting sucked into the singularity. The dragon's mouth seed to contain a galaxy of seven colors distorting the space around it.
"This is just a greeting to soone who saw the sa, nothing more" Leo raised his hand as the dragon was almost ready to launch its attack.
This attack isn't just a beam of mana, but it is sothing that even has so of Leo's authority of Forsaken Eden, Rhongomyniad's authority, and power of flaws. Using the power of Rhongomyniad as the anchor between the reality and illusions with Leo's authority, a bullet was made to be able to pierce through both.
However, he probably won't say that he only used this because he doesn't want to attack Gilgash with his lance. After all, he feels weird and disgusted about it.
"Very well" At this mont, Gilgash stopped his usual arrogant look while channeling most of his mana towards EA. Even if he feels that he won't be able to stop the next attack, he'll never surrender or admit it.
There aren't a lot of words to say about this because they understand perfectly, even without talking. They are both who saw the farthest end of the world and moved forward despite that.
Gilgash, who gave up immortality after his journey and could not understand the appeal of an undying body, didn't care about death nor feared it because he saw the future.
The future he is able to see for humanity is that of human knowledge continues to expand until they will be able to see even light from millions of years away. Though it would take such a long ti that his body will have long rotted, it was an exhilarating sight for him.
So, as long as his legend remains, he'll always be there. His duty would be fulfilled as long as a hero, humanity's most ancient tale, was passed down through the ages.
Leo also saw the sa, even if the ending kept repeating itself. Humanity, one day, will pass everything and co face to face with its destiny to break the impossible again and reach beyond the planet.
However, before that, he'll be the test, the barrier, and the last dam for them to affirm their way.
So, for the two of them, who experienced almost everything. They will keep experiencing death as many tis as necessary, reviving again and again, and observing until the end of the world and the day when humanity reaches beyond the garden.
The planet for Gilgash and Forsaken Eden for Leo, just to reach the end of the sky and strike its final note. For this, the King of Heroes and Beast of Babylon doesn't find any aning to do anything.
This is funny because they both believed that the world is their reality and doesn't need another one, so this most likely the reason they don't have a reality marble.
Well, Leo was also locked once in a place similar to a reality marble, so he doesn't like them at all.
The seven colors galaxy and the red storm are charging to their maximum power while both sides raised their weapons. It's like a clash that will shake the world is about to happen.
However, suddenly, a weird wave of energy passed this place. Most of the people won't recognize it, but they can feel it easily, especially Leo.
{Age of God's textures? Who is the madman that wants to rewrite reality now?'} Leo had a weird expression on his face before he slled sothing. It was like well cooked, even slightly burned… No, it was a completely burned thing.
"Oh, it's humanity burned into crips and charcoal…" Leo nodded because he felt it was the correct guess before he stopped in his place. The small galaxy beca more intense like it was angry.
An awkward silence filled the place, which made Gilgash, who felt the Age of God's textures lift his eyebrow.
Without looking at Goldy, Leo's dragon ship did a 110-degree turn to the right and a 60-degree turn down before he scread " FIRE!!!!"
*BOOOOOOM!!!!*
The small galaxy exploded as a seven-colored bream rushed like a supernova across the sky.
Everyone in the city, be it, Archer or rlin, saw the beam cross the sky and all the city before it landed on top of the reality marble in Fuyuki city.
However, there wasn't an explosion. Like sothing that doesn't exist, the beam passed through the reality marble and entered it easily before silence filled the place.
Despite that, the faint earthquake and the speed of the Age of God's textures slowed down, which didn't give them a good feeling at all.
Leo, who shot his attack at a different target, looked at the bewildered Gilgash that even his EA slowed down.
"You!" Leo pointed at Gilgash with his lance before he said " I'll deal with you later!"
Leaving those words, Leo's wings flickered before he disappeared from that place, leaving Gilgash starting at the dragon ship with EA slowing down.
"I'm the dragonzord! I ca from a far, far place between galaxies to say that mongrels an th-…" The ship's voice system didn't continue his recorded speech because Gilgash crushed directly with the Gate of Babylon.
"YOU MONGREL!!!!" Angry screams filled the sky as the king of heroes was ignored… Twice.
