The luxurious hotel penthouse.
Within the vast suite, Gilgamesh held his 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 elite.
As long as one had money, they could drink the finest wines 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 don't have to see you anymore."
"Is that so? I'm actually looking forward to seeing you again in the next Holy Grail War," Bai Ye smiled, then raised his glass. "Cheers."
As Bai Ye spoke, he drained the red wine in his glass.
Gilgamesh hesitated for a moment, then brought the glass to his lips.
Then...
As Gilgamesh finished his red wine, a faint golden light enveloped his body.
Gilgamesh's body began to gradually fade, then become transparent, eventually transforming into a shimmering aura.
Bai Ye stood up, watching Gilgamesh with a smile. "Farewell, King of Heroes!"
With Gilgamesh's disappearance, the Holy Grail War officially concluded, signifying Bai Ye's victory in the wish mission once again.
"You have obtained the Holy Grail and the mission reward: randomly gain one Noble Phantasm of a summoned Heroic Spirit."
Bai Ye instantly became excited.
He could only describe this wish mission reward in two words: foolish.
Bai Ye completely understood Li Jiayi's lack of desire to truly exert himself in this wish mission.
His Heroic Spirit was Fuuma Kotarou...
Setting aside the immense difficulty of winning the Holy Grail War, even if Li Jiayi won, what desire could he have for this reward?
What on Fuuma Kotarou could Li Jiayi covet?
That guy truly couldn't beat anyone.
A bunch of miscellaneous kunai, daggers, and shuriken, what use were they?
Only after killing Sennar and Semiramis becoming Li Jiayi's Servant did Li Jiayi gain some motivation.
After all, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Wine of Prideful Kings were quite alluring.
But with the troublesome Fuuma Kotarou, Li Jiayi might not even be able to obtain them. Although Fuuma Kotarou was weak, he possessed a truly chaotic assortment of items.
Then...
Semiramis's most potent poison assassination abilities were coincidentally ineffective against Bai Ye. Li Jiayi simply gave up. Rather than fighting for something he couldn't obtain, Li Jiayi felt it was better to quickly end the Holy Grail War and complete his own Forbidden Zone missions.
However, if the summoned Heroic Spirit was sufficiently powerful, it would be a different story.
Bai Ye speculated that the chosen ones who triggered the summon mission were likely Sennar, Cao Mingjin, or Lan Xi.
Sennar had the chance to obtain the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Wine of Prideful Kings. Cao Mingjin had the chance to obtain the Gate of the Wind and the Sword of Vows and Victories. Lan Xi, on the other hand, had the chance to obtain Scathach's demonic spear.
Furthermore, despite being random, the three Heroic Spirits did not possess any trash among them, almost guaranteeing the acquisition of good items. Hence, they wished for such rewards.
And for Bai Ye...
It was naturally not bad either!
After all, Gilgamesh's greatest joy was in seeking out treasures, and he possessed countless good things.
But...
Gilgamesh, that unlucky child, had too many treasures, and naturally, not all of them were top-tier...
Bai Ye experienced what it was like to be pained yet happy.
"Ea Sword, Ea Sword, Ea Sword..."
Bai Ye clasped his hands together 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 the Ea Sword.
With a casual sword strike from Gilgamesh, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon was directly crippled.
Almost without a doubt, the Ea Sword was 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's face was filled with a question mark, and he cursed, "Damn it!"
Was the Gate of Babylon strong?
It was very strong!
However, its strength had prerequisites!
As expected, Bai Ye looked at the information for the Gate of Babylon and felt completely disheartened.
Gate of Babylon (Noble Phantasm) (White): The treasury of the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, containing endless treasures. Its quality improves with the number of weapons recorded within the Gate of Babylon (no upper limit to quality improvement).
Effect: Record (All obtained weapons can be recorded within the Gate of Babylon. Even if the weapon is lost, it will not disappear from the Gate of Babylon, but recorded weapons can only be used through the Gate of Babylon).
Royal Decree (Release a multitude of weapons from the Gate of Babylon to attack, their power increasing with the number of weapons).
Currently Recorded Weapons: Frostbite Sword, Famous Sword Bloodthirst, Shadow Axe, Xuanyuan Sword.
Current Quality Improvement: 4/15
Bai Ye once again felt the sensation of being pained yet happy.
Bai Ye could somewhat guess the effect of the Gate of Babylon. After all, he had watched Gilgamesh use it countless times; how could he not know?
In Bai Ye's opinion, this item itself was not strong; its strength lay in the weapons it contained. To put it directly, the Gate of Babylon was just a warehouse.
Then...
The Gate of Babylon was not as trashy as Bai Ye imagined, but he had indeed guessed part of it correctly.
For Bai Ye...
It was a mixed blessing!
Bad News: The Gate of Babylon, as Bai Ye suspected, was not powerful in itself; its strength depended primarily on the number of weapons stored within it.
Good News: Recording was not the same as storing.
Because Bai Ye had the Steel Slime, his weapons needed to be fed to the Steel Slime, meaning they could not 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, which would be impossible to manage. No matter how capable Bai Ye was, he couldn't handle that.
Now, as long as Bai Ye had acquired an item, it could be directly recorded into the Gate of Babylon's treasury without affecting the Steel Slime's consumption. This meant there was no problem.
"Huh!" Bai Ye's eyes suddenly lit up. "The growth value of the Steel Slime can be rapidly increased through gacha machine card bugs. Can the recording of the Gate of Babylon also be done?"
Even if the weapons obtained from the gacha machine disappeared, the weapons recorded in the Gate of Babylon would not!
Bai Ye immediately looked at the light screen again and was overjoyed!
Among the weapons recorded in the 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
