The luxurious hotel's top floor.
Inside the vast suite, Gilgamesh held his wine glass, gazing at the city's night view.
Even though the fall of the Hanging Gardens had plunged the entire city into panic, it did not affect the lives of the upper class.
As long as one had money, one could drink the finest wine and stay in the most luxurious rooms.
Bai Ye glanced at the time, then said to Gilgamesh, "It's almost time to say goodbye."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Gilgamesh snorted, "Finally, I don't have to see you anymore."
"Is that so? I, on the other hand, am quite looking forward to meeting you again in the next 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 wine glass to his lips.
And then...
After Gilgamesh finished his red wine, a faint golden radiance enveloped his body.
Gilgamesh's body began to gradually fade, then become transparent, and finally transform into a halo of light.
Bai Ye stood up, looking at Gilgamesh and smiling, "Goodbye, 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 receive one Noble Phantasm of your summoned Heroic Spirit."
Bai Ye immediately became excited.
Regarding the reward for this wish mission, Bai Ye could only describe it in two words: stupid!
Bai Ye fully understood that Li Jiayi had no desire to showcase his abilities in this wish mission.
His Heroic Spirit was Fuuma Kotaro...
Putting aside the difficulty of winning the Holy Grail War, even if Li Jiayi won it, what desire could he have for this reward?
What was there about Fuuma Kotaro that Li Jiayi would covet?
That guy really couldn't beat anyone.
What use were the messy shuriken, daggers, and darts he carried?
It was only after killing Cernunnos and Semiramis becoming Li Jiayi's Servant that Li Jiayi gained some motivation.
After all, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Wine of Pride were quite enticing.
But with the unreliable Fuuma Kotaro around, Li Jiayi might not have been able to obtain them. Although Fuuma Kotaro was weak, he truly had a lot of miscellaneous items.
Then...
Semiramis's most potent poison ability happened to be ineffective against Bai Ye, so Li Jiayi simply gave up. Instead of fighting for something he couldn't get, Li Jiayi felt it was better to end the Holy Grail War quickly and complete his restricted area mission.
However, if the summoned Heroic Spirit was powerful enough, it would be a different story.
Bai Ye guessed that the chosen one who triggered the summoning mission was likely Cernunnos, Cao Mingjin, or Lan Xi.
Cernunnos had the chance to obtain the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Wine of Pride. Cao Mingjin had the chance to obtain the Gate of the Wind King and the Sword of Promises and Victories. Lan Xi, on the other hand, had the chance to obtain Scathach's magic spear.
Furthermore, although it was random, there was no trash among those three Heroic Spirits, making it almost equivalent to directly obtaining good items. Thus, such rewards were wished for.
And for Bai Ye...
It was also not bad!
After all, Gilgamesh's greatest pleasure was to search for treasures, and he possessed countless good items.
But...
Because Gilgamesh, that unlucky child, had too many treasures, there were naturally some that were not so good...
Bai Ye truly experienced what it meant to be both pained and happy.
"Enuma Elish, Enuma Elish, Enuma Elish..."
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 the world, and Bai Ye had personally witnessed the terror of Enuma Elish.
With a casual sword strike from Gilgamesh, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon was directly rendered useless.
With almost no surprises, Enuma Elish 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 displayed on the light screen, Bai Ye's face immediately showed a question mark, and he cursed, "Damn it!"
Was the Gate of Babylon strong?
Very strong!
However, its strength had prerequisites!
As expected, Bai Ye looked at the information of 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 increases 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, the weapon recorded within the Gate of Babylon will not disappear, but recorded weapons can only be used through the Gate of Babylon).
King's Authority (Release a large number of weapons from the Gate of Babylon to attack, its power increases with the number of weapons).
Currently recorded weapons: Frost Edge, Famous Sword Bloodlust, 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 actually guess one or two about the effect of the Gate of Babylon, after all, having watched Gilgamesh use it constantly, 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 part of it correctly.
For Bai Ye...
It was a mix of joy and worry!
Bad news: The Gate of Babylon, as Bai Ye had guessed, was not inherently powerful; its strength depended mainly on how many weapons were stored inside.
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, so 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. Even with Bai Ye's capabilities, he couldn't handle that.
Now, as long as Bai Ye had obtained 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.
"Eh!" Bai Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, "The growth value of the Steel Slime can be rapidly increased through a gacha machine card bug, 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 and was overjoyed!
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!
