After sending Gilgamesh away, Wu Ming immediately caught up with Ishtar who was walking to the top of the mountain.
After that, Wu Ming descended the mountain with Ishtar. After seeing Ishtar off, he specially set up a barrier to prevent Ishtar from breaking his promise.
After that, he returned to the Uruk Sage Dragon stone statue.
"Are you back, Sage Dragon." Young Gilgamesh sat before the stone statue, looking up at the vast sky.
"Well, I came back, and I managed to stop Ishtar, but..."
"Did something happen, Sage Dragon?" The young king tilted his head, very cute.
"Ah~, you will know in the future. Now, you will start to get stronger Gil, otherwise you can't protect what you want to protect. Just like today, you can only rely on other people."
"Yes, I understand~" Young Gil smiled innocently.
In fact, young Gilgamesh was not weak. Of course, this is only for "humans." Young Gilgamesh was a prodigy, and his martial arts and wisdom were above the common man, but---
"In the future, the various gods you will face, you can't compete with them without a strong power."
Gilgamesh wasn't a fool, she was naive now, but she wasn't stupid.
"As for the Magecraft aspect, you still continue to ask your mother for advice, and as for martial arts matters come to me, but—"
Wu Ming clung to the stone statue, emitting a terrifying aura.
"This teaching, if you don't take it seriously, you will die."
Young Gilgamesh gulped, his little head nodding frantically.
....
Since then, under the guidance of Wu Ming and Rimat Ninsun, Gilgamesh developed rapidly.
Time flies.
After the ritual of offering to the sage dragon ended, the woman with blonde hair and red eyes leaned in front of the stone statue of the sage dragon.
"..." She just sat quietly, staring at the vast sky without saying a word.
The stone statue began to glow, showing a ghost.
"What is it Gil, are you worried?"
Wu Ming looked at the woman in front of him, and couldn't help but remember the past.
(I didn't realize that Gil was a woman before, I was so stupid... Ah~~)
There was no way, who made Gilgamesh look so handsome and neutral when she was a child, and there was no way Wu Ming saw Gilgamesh bathing or going to the toilet.
"Nothing big, I just think that people lives are too monotonous."
"Don't they have the courage to face fear? If I think about it carefully, they will come to me if they have a problem."
Wu Ming thought that the current Uruk people might not be able to withstand the Gugalanna (Bull of Heaven) in the future—Seven years of drought.
"So are you going to become a tyrant."
Upon hearing these words, Gilgamesh face lifted an arrogant smile.
"I am not a tyrant, I am a tyrant myself. I'll go first, Sage Dragon."
As she spoke, Gilgamesh stood valiantly and headed for the Uruk Palace.
After all, it was inevitable that a perfect genius would become king when she reached adulthood.
Sure enough, during these days, King Gilgamesh of Uruk arbitrarily fought and amassed wealth.
Remembering Gilgamesh when she was a child, she was highly respected and loved by all. Even though she was a woman, Gilgamesh was extraordinary, beautiful and heroic. The important thing is that she is the ideal ruler of the people.
Young Gilgamesh possessed the qualities of a king better than anyone on earth: tolerance, care, justice, and benevolence. All the people praised her and were amazed by his appearance.
It's just that all of this is God conspiracy.
To limit the people, the gods created Gilgamesh with "two-thirds as gods and one-thirds as humans", letting her become king, rule over the fools, keep them stable, and trust them.
However, as an adult, Gilgamesh discovers that people lack something, like the courage to face fear, and there is now more silence, which only makes these incidents worse.
From then on, Gilgamesh decided to create a great storm that ruled mankind, not just a king who ruled mankind.
The people "disaster" has come.
During this time Gilgamesh bullied both men and women, dominated rampantly, and his personality had changed from being wise and gentle, tolerant and just to arrogant.
Now he often calls other people "hybrids".
How could he say that? She is 2/3 god and 1/3 human and calling others "hybrids" is the hero king Gilgamesh. (just kidding)
So, one day, Wu Ming slipped into the dream of Gilgamesh, who was sleeping.
Gilgamesh walks a dark path with a bleak future.
"Is this… my dream," said Gilgamesh.
"Yes, Gil, this is your dream." A great sage dragon appeared behind Gilgamesh.
"Oh~ Is this your real body, Sage Dragon?" Gilgamesh said with great interest his arms wrapped around his chest.
"How, not bad, hahaha~" Wu Ming dull voice started to spread.
Gilgamesh who frowned slightly, only chuckled, and his lips said lightly.
"So, what were you doing in my dream, Sage Dragon."
"I dive into your dreams today, one to tell you about the predictions I saw today, and the other is to see if you have changed." Wu Ming stopped laughing and said.
"What prophecy?" said Gilgamesh firmly.
After all, it was the mentor prophecy, so she still needed to listen to it.
This is exactly what Gilgamesh was thinking.
"The gods made humanoid weapons to guard against your recklessness to suppress the people. Soon, these humanoid weapons will inadvertently learn of your atrocities, and will come to Uruk to stop your atrocities. His name is-Enkidu."
"Enkidu~ Interesting, let him come, let me see the power he has as a god-made weapon."
After speaking, Gilgamesh turned and walked down the dimly lit street.
"You will be friends with him."
Gilgamesh who was advancing stopped and turned to look at Wu Ming.
"Humph! Friends, I don't need friends, and no one is qualified to be my friend." Gilgamesh stared at Wu Ming viciously.
It's just that in Wu Ming eyes this is like an arrogant lioness.
"Oh~ Really, Gil~" said Wu Ming with a smile, deliberately lowering his long tone.
"You are my mentor, with a different nature." Before he could finish speaking, Gilgamesh immediately turned around and continued walking. However the last rosy face before turning around was still caught by Wu Ming.
"He will be the only friend you know. You'll find this out when you see it," said Wu Ming, looking at Gilgamesh, who was traveling far away.
"Huh! Then I'll beat him up when I see him," Gilgamesh said as he walked without turning around.
Wu Ming big dragon mouth smirked, and he smiled.
"Do as you please."
Gilgamesh stopped, and continued walking in an instant.
"Even though your future is full of fog, your aim is unshakable. You will definitely reach the end. Keep forward. Before I leave, I will pave the way for you as the teacher who has taught you for eighteen years."
After speaking, the darkness around Gilgamesh path gradually dissipated, and Wu Ming huge dragon body also turned into a hint of starlight, hovering around Gilgamesh.
At this moment, she was like a battle goddess, heroic, beautiful, and strong.
Translator note: Gilgamesh in the previous chapters used the word [He] because I thought Gilgamesh was a man, but in this chapter it is revealed that Gilgamesh is a woman 😂, so from now on Gilgamesh in later chapters will use the word [She]
And for Enkidu because he doesn't have a gender, Enkidu uses the word [He]
