[Currently, there is no need for Uruk to collapse the existing order.]
[You only need to subtly shift the influence of the gods on the world, allowing the new generation of citizens to gradually beco independent and autonomous.]
[Finally, embark on a path that no longer needs gods.]
[Although you cannot see the end.]
[But you believe that Gilgash can do it, and you also believe that the citizens of Uruk will not let you down.]
[The gods fall, and human reason rises.]
[Without the threat brought by the gods, you began to guide the citizens to step out of the comfort zone of the gods.]
[Currently, you have completed the planning for Uruk.]
[Using sopotamia as the cradle of civilization, other regions will gradually enter into farewells with the gods. You have set the frawork, and this frawork will not disappear even if the Uruk dynasty collapses.]
[Humanity will break free from the constraints of the gods.]
[Although the day of that true arrival is still very far away, you are not in a hurry.]
[Gilgash learned about the existence of the herb of immortality from the underworld, and he embarked on the road to find the herb of immortality.]
[This journey will be very long.]
[Since the end of the great war with the gods, you have known that Gilgash fears only one thing.]"
[That is the death that all living beings must face]
[Whether it is you, or Enkidu, neither can escape the law that all must die. Because of this, Gilgash, who always wanted to defeat and surpass you, fell into confusion and felt fear]
[Even when facing Humbaba, he had never been so afraid]
[As a demigod, he has a long lifespan]
[But, you and Enkidu, because of the battle with the gods, will face the sa fate as mortals in the future]
[You and Enkidu are not afraid of death]
[Gilgash is afraid]
[He just didn’t say it; with his personality, it was impossible for him to say such a thing in front of you]
[The re thought of losing you in the future]
[Makes everything in the future seem dim and tasteless, whether it is the great achievent of defeating the gods, or the glory as a king and hero]
[Without soone to drink with]
[The fine wine in the cup will no longer be fragrant]
[Without soone to share with]
[The joy of life will turn into lonely self-entertainnt]
[Every ti he thinks that you and Enkidu will die like mortals, Gilgash feels a tearing pain in his heart]
[He hates and fears the death that can take you away, and fears that he will encounter similar things in the future]
[The arrogant King of Heroes complains about why you don’t go to conquer death, and is disgusted by Enkidu’s recognition of you]
[Even if the King of Heroes was once so radiant, at this mont, he is just a mortal who is afraid of death]
[Therefore, he decided to embark on the road alone]
[To find the spirit herb that can extend your and Enkidu’s lives forever]
[You knew after he made this decision]
[You just shook your head and smiled wryly]
[On the night before he left Uruk, you found Gilgash and asked him only one question—]
"Gil, are you really afraid of death?"
[For a mont, Gilgash was in a daze]
[He couldn’t answer your words]
[And you, also saw clearly the truth of your younger brother, but knew that you couldn’t be the one to point it out]
[It would be aningless unless he realized it himself]
"I..."
When Gilgash ca back to his senses.
He found that the palace was empty.
However, the question still lingered in his mind.
Am I really afraid of death?
[Gilgash couldn’t think of an answer to this question for the ti being]
[You know the answer]
[The one involved is confused, the bystander sees clearly]
[Having experienced life and death several tis, your understanding of death is far deeper than Gilgash’s]
[The first reason is that he cannot accept letting the two of you die, while he alone lives in the world to enjoy glory]
[As for the second reason, it is sothing he has not yet realized]
[Gilgash cannot forgive himself for abandoning his duties as a king]
[He once said that he would watch over humanity until the very end]
[He is the king who bears the future of mankind]
[Therefore, he must continue to witness and judge; he must continue to be the arbiter of mankind. It is not as simple as just watching humanity live a happy life]
[This is the royal way that Gilgash follows]
[That’s why—]
[In order to be able to witness humanity until the very end]
[He longs to live forever, until the end of the world]
[For this duty, Gilgash will choose to pursue immortality and seek an indestructible body]
[Therefore, you know that you cannot persuade Gilgash, which is also one of the reasons why you do not stop him]
[This road is too long]
[Even you, who are observing in secret, feel that it is too long]
[You saw that after the King of Heroes ended a journey longer than his own lifespan, he finally obtained the spirit herb of immortality]
[At that mont, as long as he ate the spirit herb, he would be able to overco the destined death that you did not resist]
[Gilgash felt like he had won against you for the first ti]
[That sense of accomplishnt, fulfillnt, and joy that impacted his soul... it could be said that it made him realize the aning of life for the first ti]
"Hahahaha... Finally... This king has found it...!"
[He laughed with joy]
[In this way, not only would he win against you, but he would also be able to prevent the two of you from suffering the pain of death, so that you could always enjoy the sa pleasure and happiness as him]
[Gilgash fantasized about the future]
[At this ti, he seed to hear the cheers of the people of Uruk... Thinking that if he returned to the city-state, he would be greeted with unprecedented praise and accolades]
[At that ti, even you would have to admit that you lost to him, Gilgash]
[Gilgash couldn’t help but laugh at this thought, his mouth almost reaching his ears]
[He carried the spirit herb with him and embarked on the return journey]
[At that ti, Gilgash looked at his body and realized that after the long journey, his body had beco quite shabby]
[Vanity overflowed along with his soaring enthusiasm]
[If he returned to Uruk looking like a beggar, he would definitely be laughed at by you]
[Thinking of this, Gilgash decided to tidy up his appearance]
[He found a spring on the way back]
