The luxurious hotel penthouse.
Inside the vast suite, Gilgamesh held a wine glass, gazing out at the city's night view.
Even though the fall of the Hanging Gardens had plunged the entire city into panic, it did not disrupt the lives of the upper class.
As long as one had money, they could drink the finest wine and stay in the most opulent rooms.
Bai Ye glanced at his watch, 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, however, am looking forward to meeting you again if there's another Holy Grail War," Bai Ye smiled, then raised his glass, "Cheers."
As Bai Ye spoke, he finished 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 glow enveloped his body.
Gilgamesh's body began to gradually fade, then became transparent, and finally transformed into a halo of light.
Bai Ye stood up, looking at Gilgamesh, and smiled, "Farewell, King of Heroes!"
With Gilgamesh's disappearance, the Holy Grail War officially concluded, signifying that Bai Ye had once again emerged as the winner of the wish mission.
"You have obtained the Holy Grail, and the mission reward: Randomly obtain one Noble Phantasm from a summoned Heroic Spirit of your own."
Bai Ye instantly became excited.
Regarding the reward for this wish mission, Bai Ye could only describe it in two words: stupid!
Bai Ye completely understood Li Jia Yi's lack of desire to showcase his abilities in this Holy Grail War.
His Heroic Spirit was Fuuma Kotaro...
Let alone the immense difficulty of winning the Holy Grail War, even if Li Jia Yi won it, what desire could he have for this reward?
What on Fuuma Kotaro was there that Li Jia Yi would covet?
That guy truly couldn't defeat anyone.
What use were the miscellaneous kunai, short swords, and shurikens he carried?
It was only after killing Sennar and Semiramis becoming Li Jia Yi's follower that Li Jia Yi gained some motivation.
After all, the Hanging Gardens of Vanity and the Wine of the King of Pride were quite tempting.
But with the troublesome Fuuma Kotaro around, Li Jia Yi might not even get them. Although Fuuma Kotaro was weak, he truly had a lot of miscellaneous items.
Then...
Semiramis's most powerful poison ability was coincidentally ineffective against Bai Ye, so Li Jia Yi simply gave up. Rather than fighting for something he couldn't get, Li Jia Yi felt it was better to quickly end the Holy Grail War and complete his forbidden zone mission.
However, if the summoned Heroic Spirit was powerful enough, it would be a different story.
Bai Ye guessed that the chosen ones who triggered the summoning mission were likely Sennar, Cao Ming Jin, or Lan Xi.
Sennar had the chance to obtain the Hanging Gardens of Vanity and the Wine of the King of Pride, Cao Ming Jin had the chance to obtain the Gate of Wind and the Sword of Vows and Victory, and Lan Xi had the chance to obtain Scathach's magic spear.
Moreover, although it was random, there was no trash among the three Heroic Spirits; it was almost equivalent to directly obtaining good items. Thus, he wished for such a reward.
And for Bai Ye...
It was certainly not bad!
After all, Gilgamesh's greatest pleasure was in collecting treasures, and he possessed an immeasurable amount of good items.
But...
Because Gilgamesh, the unlucky child, had too many treasures, there were naturally some that were not as good...
Bai Ye finally understood what it meant to be both pained and happy.
"Ea Sword, Ea Sword, Ea Sword..."
Bai Ye clasped his hands in prayer. With that item, he would take a huge stride towards the grand finale.
After all, it was a weapon capable of cleaving worlds, and Bai Ye had personally witnessed the terror of the Ea Sword.
With a casual sword strike from Gilgamesh, the Hanging Gardens of Vanity were directly ruined.
Almost without any surprise, the Ea Sword was definitely on the same level as the Xuanyuan Sword!
Then...
"You have obtained Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm, Gate of Babylon!"
Looking at the words appearing on the light screen, Bai Ye wore a bewildered expression and cursed, "Damn it!"
Was the Gate of Babylon strong?
Very strong!
However, its strength had prerequisites!
As expected, when Bai Ye looked at the information for the Gate of Babylon, he felt terrible.
Gate of Babylon (Noble Phantasm) (White): The treasure hoard of the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, containing endless treasures. Its quality increases with the number of weapons recorded within the Gate of Babylon (no upper limit to quality improvement).
Effect: Record (All acquired weapons can be recorded within the Gate of Babylon. Even if the weapon is lost, the weapon recorded within the Gate of Babylon will not disappear, but recorded weapons can only be used through the Gate of Babylon).
Royal Authority (Releases a large number of weapons from the Gate of Babylon to attack, the power of which increases with the number of weapons).
Currently Recorded Weapons: Frosty Sword, Famous Blade Bloodthirsty, Shadow Battle Axe, Xuanyuan Sword.
Current Quality Improvement: 4/15
Bai Ye once again felt the sensation of being both pained and happy.
Bai Ye could already guess the effects of the 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, the Gate of Babylon was just a warehouse.
Then...
The Gate of Babylon was not as trashy as Bai Ye had imagined, but Bai Ye had indeed guessed a part of it correctly.
This item for Bai Ye...
Was a mixed blessing!
Bad news: The Gate of Babylon, as Bai Ye had guessed, was not inherently powerful; its strength depended mainly on the number of weapons it contained.
Good news: Recording was not the same as storage.
Because Bai Ye had the Steel Slime, Bai Ye's weapons undoubtedly needed to be fed to the Steel Slime, so they could not be stored in the Gate of Babylon.
Therefore, the worst-case scenario was that Bai Ye would have to "feed" both the Steel Slime and the Gate of Babylon, which would be impossible to play. No matter how capable Bai Ye was, he couldn't manage that.
Now, as long as Bai Ye had acquired something, it could be directly recorded into the Gate of Babylon's treasury, and it would not affect the Steel Slime's consumption, so there was no problem.
"Oh!" Bai Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, "The growth value of the Steel Slime can be rapidly increased through gacha machine bugs, so can the recording of the Gate of Babylon?"
Even if the weapons obtained from the gacha machine disappeared, the weapons recorded in the Gate of Babylon would not disappear!
Bai Ye immediately looked at the light screen again, then rejoiced!
Among the weapons recorded in the Gate of Babylon, there was the Xuanyuan Sword!
Therefore, his conjecture might be realized, and perhaps he could exploit a bug again! 138 Reading Network
