The luxurious hotel penthouse.
In the immense 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, 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 don't have to see you."
"Is that so? I'm actually 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 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 become transparent, and finally turned into a halo of light.
Bai Ye stood up, watching Gilgamesh disappear, and smiled, "Goodbye, King of Heroes!"
With Gilgamesh's disappearance, the Holy Grail War officially concluded, marking Bai Ye as the winner of the wish mission once again.
"You have obtained the Holy Grail and the mission reward: randomly obtain one Noble Phantasm of the Heroic Spirit you summoned."
Bai Ye immediately became excited.
He could only describe this wish mission reward in two words: idiotic!
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…
Setting aside the immense difficulty of winning the Holy Grail War, even if Li Jia Yi won, what desire could he have for this reward?
What on Fuuma Kotaro could make Li Jia Yi covetous?
That guy was truly a match for no one.
A pile of assorted kunai, short swords, and shuriken, what use were they?
It was only after killing Sennal and Semiramis becoming Li Jia Yi's Servant that Li Jia Yi gained some motivation.
After all, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Wine of the Arrogant King were quite alluring.
But with the problematic Fuuma Kotaro around, Li Jia Yi might not even get them. Although Fuuma Kotaro was weak, he had a surprising amount of miscellaneous items.
Then…
Semiramis' most powerful poison-killing ability happened to be ineffective against Bai Ye. Li Jia Yi simply gave up. Instead of fighting for what he couldn't obtain, Li Jia Yi felt it was better to end the Holy Grail War quickly and complete his Forbidden Zone mission.
However, if the summoned Heroic Spirit was powerful enough, it would be another matter entirely.
Bai Ye speculated that the chosen ones who triggered the summoning mission were likely Sennal, Cao Ming Jin, or Lan Xi.
Sennal had a chance to obtain the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Wine of the Arrogant King. Cao Ming Jin had a chance to obtain the Wind King Barrier and the Sword of Vows and Victories. Lan Xi, on the other hand, had a chance to obtain Scathach's demonic spear.
Furthermore, although it was random, the three Heroic Spirits possessed no trash items, making it almost equivalent to directly obtaining good things. This was why such a reward was wished for.
And for Bai Ye…
It was not bad either!
After all, Gilgamesh's greatest pleasure was in collecting treasures, and he had an innumerable amount of good items.
But…
Gilgamesh had too many treasures, which naturally meant there were some that were not as 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 in prayer. With that item, he would take a huge leap towards the grand finale.
After all, it was a weapon capable of cleaving the world, and Bai Ye had witnessed the terror of Enuma Elish firsthand.
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 screen, Bai Ye's face immediately showed a question mark, and he cursed, "Damn it!"
Was Gate of Babylon strong?
Very strong!
But its strength came with a prerequisite!
As expected, Bai Ye's heart sank after checking the information for Gate of Babylon.
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 Gate of Babylon (no upper limit to quality increase).
Effect: Record (All obtained weapons can be recorded within Gate of Babylon. Even if the weapon is lost, the weapon recorded within Gate of Babylon will not disappear, but recorded weapons can only be used through Gate of Babylon).
Royal Authority (Releases a large number of weapons from Gate of Babylon to attack. Its power increases with the number of weapons).
Currently Recorded Weapons: Frostbite Sword, Famous Sword Blood Drinker, Shadow Battle Axe, Xuanyuan Sword.
Current Quality Improvement: 4/15
Bai Ye felt the sensation of being both pained and happy once again.
Bai Ye could guess the effect of Gate of Babylon to some extent. After all, he had watched Gilgamesh use it so often, how could he not know?
In Bai Ye's opinion, this item itself was not strong; its strength lay in the weapons stored within. To put it plainly, Gate of Babylon was a warehouse.
Then…
Gate of Babylon was not as useless as Bai Ye thought, but Bai Ye had indeed guessed part of it correctly.
For Bai Ye…
It was a mixed blessing!
The bad news: Gate of Babylon, as Bai Ye guessed, was not inherently powerful, and its strength depended mainly on the number of weapons stored within.
The good news: Recording was not the same as storage.
Because Bai Ye had the Steel Slime, his weapons undoubtedly needed to be fed to the Steel Slime, so they couldn't 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, making it impossible to play. Even with Bai Ye's capabilities, he couldn't manage that.
Now, as long as Bai Ye had obtained something, it could be directly recorded into the Gate of Babylon, and it wouldn't affect the Steel Slime's consumption, so there was no problem.
"Huh!" Bai Ye's eyes suddenly lit up. "The growth value of the Steel Slime can be rapidly increased by exploiting the gacha machine's bugs, so can the recording of Gate of Babylon also be done?"
Even if the weapons obtained from the gacha machine disappeared, the weapons recorded in Gate of Babylon would not disappear!
Bai Ye immediately looked at the screen again and was overjoyed!
Among the weapons recorded in Gate of Babylon, there was the Xuanyuan Sword!
In that case, his guess might be realized, and he might be able to exploit a bug again! 138 Reading Network
