Chapter 1224 – Recognizing and Breaking

　　”Wake up!”

　　Sun Wukong said in a deep voice, his right hand clenched his fist and rolled with terrifying power, slamming into Gilgamesh’s abdomen!

　　Dang-!

　　An invisible air wave erupted with the Paint Black Throne as the center, instantly sweeping every corner of the compound.

　　Gilgamesh stifled a grunt and slumped down in pain, the thick and heavy chains binding his body with a clunking sound.

　　”This king will kill you! The King will kill you!!!” Gilgamesh roared again.

　　Thunk-!

　　Sun Wukong frowned and swung his fist once again, trying to pull Gilgamesh back to reality from the chaos.

　　This time, clarity still did not surface in his eyes.

　　He lifted his head with difficulty, and those cloudy and pain-filled eyes stared dead at the Sun Wukong in front of him:

　　”This king …… is going to …… kill you …….”

　　”This king …… is the king of this Uruk ……”

　　”Those who hurt my Uruk…… people…… die!!!”

　　Sun Wukong looked at Gilgamesh’s nearly twisted face and was stunned in place.

　　”Gilgamesh ……”

　　In the vast desert, Lin Qiye sensed the situation in the sickbay and frowned tightly.

　　This time, the symptoms of Gilgamesh’s onset were even more severe than before …… Damn, what exactly happened?

　　Just then, as if he saw something, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked to the end of his field of vision.

　　Raging flames ignited from behind the darkened city walls in the distance, reflecting half of the sky, and the sound of countless humans wailing and buildings collapsing, came faintly.

　　”Something happened in Wu City?!”

　　Lin Qiye’s heart sank.

　　In his mind, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind as he associated it with Gilgamesh’s symptoms just now.

　　One must know that the people living within Wu City were all descendants of the Uruk Kingdom back then, and what flowed within their bodies was also the bloodline of Uruk……. In a sense, Wu City was a part of the Uruk Kingdom that had been left behind an unknown number of years ago.

　　Could it be that …… the reason why Gilgamesh had an attack had something to do with Ucheng?

　　Lin Qiye clenched his teeth and pushed his speed to the extreme as he rushed towards the walls of Ucheng!

　　A few moments later, he landed on top of the city wall and looked down at the scene inside the city, his pupils contracting slightly.

　　Only to see that the originally stable and harmonious Wu City had been covered by fire at this moment, a corpse with a gruesome death, along with divine weapons that had lost their luster, laying east and west in various parts of the streets, blood staining the ancient stone bricks red, shocking to the eyes.

　　”This is ……”

　　Lin Qiye muttered.

　　Wailing and cries came from the other side of the city-state, and as Lin Qiye turned his head to look, there were still a large number of residents of Wu City fleeing out of the city in haste and terror, glancing back every now and then as if they were being chased by the God of Death.

　　Above the ruins of the collapsed building, a figure slowly walked out of the fire with the [Scepter] in his left hand and the [Holy Grail] in his right hand.

　　Countless threads of blood floated in the air and fell into the [Holy Grail], turning into scarlet wine that shook slightly along the walls of the cup.

　　The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

　　”It’s almost …… time,” he raised the [Holy Grail] in his right hand and spoke leisurely:

　　”Make a wish and the seal is erased.”

　　A fantastic light flashed from the walls of the dark golden cup, and the scarlet wine swirling within the cup suddenly dropped by a fraction.

　　At the same time, a dull shattering sound came from within his body, and a seal transformed into dots of shimmering light that dissipated into the air.

　　He let out a long breath, his expression relaxing a bit.

　　”Number 22?” Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed when he saw that face.

　　Did he really get the [Scepter]?

　　And where did the [Holy Grail] come from?

　　Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Qiye’s mind as he hesitated for a moment, a brilliant magical light flashed and he once again transformed into Miles, flying straight towards number 22.

　　In any case, let’s make him stop slaughtering the residents of Wu City first.

　　No. 22 was chasing after the residents who fled towards the outside of the city, when suddenly his gaze froze and he turned his head to look behind him.

　　”Myles?” He spoke in surprise.

　　”No. 22, what exactly is going on here?” Lin Qiye walked up to him and asked in a deep voice.

　　No. 22 didn’t answer Lin Qiye’s question, but instead looked behind him and asked in return:

　　”Where are the other agents? Have you found the [Holy Grail]?”

　　”Didn’t find it, something went wrong with my prophecy.”

　　”Oh ……,” 22’s eyes narrowed slightly.

　　”Why are you killing these natives?”

　　”As you can see, I’m accumulating sacrifices for the [Holy Grail].” No.22 shrugged and said, “I’ve already contacted the divine seal in my body by making a wish, next …… I want to make another wish.”

　　”What wish?”

　　No. 22 gazed at Lin Qiye, the corner of his mouth hooked into a smile, and

　　”Make a wish …… to reveal your true body!”

　　The moment No. 22’s words fell, a shimmering light flashed across the surface of the [Holy Grail], and in the next moment, Lin Qiye’s body suddenly twisted!

　　The magical glow crumbled from the surface of Lin Qiye’s body, and as the dots of light were dispersed, his true appearance was exposed to the air.

　　Lin Qiye’s face instantly became gloomy.

　　”Sure enough, you’re not some prophet Miles.” As if he had already guessed this scene, No. 22 sneered and said.

　　”If it wasn’t for me sensing the [Holy Grail] in advance, I’m afraid that I really would have been fooled by your lies……. I told you why you went through all the trouble of rescuing them from the dungeon, and now it seems like you’re aiming for those agents who left with you?

　　They are now, presumably, dead?”

　　Number 22 stared at Lin Qiye’s face and paused for a moment, “What exactly are you ……?”

　　Lin Qiye quietly looked at him and after a moment of silence, said:

　　”I’m …….”

　　Swish-!

　　Lin Qiye had just gotten halfway through his words when No. 22 and him, simultaneously struck out at each other like lightning!

　　Who Lin Qiye was, No. 22 didn’t really care, he only wanted to catch Lin Qiye at his most lax and directly understand his life, turning him into a sacrifice as well.

　　As for Lin Qiye, he also wanted to seize the opportunity to kill the other party before No.22 used the [Holy Grail] and [Scepter], the two “supreme” divine artifacts.

　　The two palms of the hands collided in mid-air, and the black and pink divine ruins spread rapidly to the surroundings!

　　The invisible wind whistled, and both of them were shocked by each other’s spiritual power and retreated a few steps. No.22 looked at his own palm in a daze, as if he was pondering:

　　”Goddess of Darkness’s Divine Ruin …… is you? You’re Dual God Agent Lin Qiye?”

　　No. 22 spoke in surprise, “All that information you told us is actually true?!”

　　Seeing that his identity was recognized, Lin Qiye simply stopped pretending and spoke calmly:

　　”A true lie is more trustworthy …… isn’t it?”

　　No. 22 looked Lin Qiye up and down, the light in his eyes flickered as he licked his somewhat dry lips and sneered:

　　”Interesting …… Just got two ‘supreme’ divine artifacts, and the Dual God Agent sends himself to the door, my luck today, it’s really good.”
