Chapter 1238 – Memories Resurface
”Going out now?” Lin Qiye was stunned and opened his mouth to remind, “You’re still not fully cured, even if you go out, you’ll still be a soul body and won’t be able to fight.”
”This king knows, but if you can’t even protect your own people, how can you deserve to be called king?” Gilgamesh paused for a moment, turned his head back, and looked at the lone black throne in the courtyard.
”The lone king with only the throne remaining …… This king has been king enough!”
Seeing this, Lin Qiye no longer stopped, grabbed the corner of Gilgamesh’s coat, and his consciousness gradually returned to the outside world.
Sun Wukong stabilized himself in the yellow sand and looked towards the figure that gradually stood up in the distance, his brows slightly wrinkled.
The previous punch, although it shattered the Puppet Hero King’s brain, for a puppet manipulated by moonlight, it was simply unable to completely disable it.
As the Puppet Hero King staggered up from the rubble, the [Scepter], which carried the Sun Wukong’s divine power, fell back into the palm of his hand, and surging divine power poured into the Puppet Hero King’s body, causing his divine power to soar at an astonishing rate!
”He’s dead!” Inanna, who flew back into the sky with serious injuries, saw this scene and a morose smile appeared on her face, and
”Gilgamesh used the [Scepter] to plunder his divine power and add it to himself, it’s equivalent to having double the divine power of a Lord God level, even if there’s some inconvenience in maneuvering, it’s still enough to crush that monkey.
Together with the three of us, even if this monkey’s instincts are great, it’s impossible for him to turn over any waves ……”
”He’s too arrogant.” Nanner spoke indifferently, “If he didn’t fight to the death to throw that punch just now, but instead avoided the [Scepter] range of action, with his strength, he might really be able to break through our encirclement and leave this place.”
”Beasts are beasts, they only know how to fight for bravery, are all the gods of Da Xia so stupid?” Biggil sneered.
Above the battlefield where the yellow sand was flying
The Puppet Hero King stepped on a wave of divine power that had nearly condensed into substance, holding the [Scepter] in his hand, a king’s robe fluttering in the wind as he slowly took a step towards the Monkey King.
The Monkey King, who had lost his divine power, couldn’t see the slightest bit of panic in his expression as he slightly sidestepped his head and looked not far behind him:
”The thing you begged for, I’ve done it ……
Next, it’s up to you.”
He muttered.
Lin Qiye’s eyes slowly opened.
In the nothingness beside him, a figure cloaked in gray robes was outlined, and although it was scarred, those eyes were as bright as stars.
Gilgamesh’s gaze swept around, and when he saw the crumbling ruins around him, he couldn’t control the anger that surfaced in the depths of his eyes.
Just then, a voice came from behind:
”Don’t cry, aren’t we still alive here?”
Hearing the familiar language, Gilgamesh’s body shook and turned his head to look.
Only to see that in the middle of a ruin, a group of old and young figures were hunched behind a broken wall, their faces pale.
A young boy, was sitting in the corner constantly sobbing, his whimpers tugging at everyone’s heartstrings, their heads hung low, their eyes full of death, the atmosphere low and heavy.
A slightly older girl, on the other hand, reached out and stroked his back, softly comforting, and
”My king sent the god over, he’s so powerful, he wounded Inanna in one go, he’ll definitely protect us.”
”You lie!” The boy stretched out his hand, pointing to the distance, “As you can see, the [scepter] siphoned off his divine power, he can’t beat the three gods ……
And, and my king is dead, his body is in the hands of the three gods, how could he send a god to save us? That was him lying to us!”
Tali opened her mouth, wanting to persuade something more, but she couldn’t say anything.
”Those are all the descendants of your people.” Lin Qiye looked at the place and explained to Gilgamesh, “Aren’t you going to take a look?”
Gilgamesh gazed at the figures, his eyes complicated.
He was silent for a moment and shook his head, “Not now …….”
”Why?”
”The current me is not worthy of being their king.” Gilgamesh looked at the battlefield, “[Star Coin] is there?”
”In.”
Lin Qiye nodded his head, and a brilliant magical glow blossomed between his palms, directly summoning the King’s [Star Coin] hanging in the sky into his hands.
Although he was unable to prevent the [Star Coin] from being taken away by the Golem Hero King, he had left a summoning mark on the surface in advance, so he could take it away at any time as long as the Golem Hero King wasn’t paying attention.
Gilgamesh reached out and picked it up.
”This [Star Coin], what exactly does it do?” Lin Qiye asked in disbelief, “It can make imagined things materialize?”
Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow, “You’ve used it?”
”Uh-huh.”
Gilgamesh glanced at him and explained, “The function of this [Star Coin] is not to make imaginations materialize …… Its true ability is ‘Memory Reproduction’.”
”Memory Reproduction?”
”Under normal circumstances, the [Star Coin] will constantly rotate clockwise at all times, but when the direction of its rotation is changed, it will recreate the memories that the holder recalls, once again.” Gilgamesh spoke calmly.
”The memory that is recreated will retain all the characteristics of the past intact.
Moreover, the deeper the holder’s impression of that memory is, the longer it will be reproduced, and if the impression of the memory is vague, it may only appear for a moment.
Moreover, this kind of ‘reappearance’ is not limited to items …… people, too.”
”People are also possible?” Lin Qiye spoke in surprise, “That is to say, it can make people who have existed in memory …… summoned again?”
”That’s right, this is the most terrifying thing about the [Star Coin].” Gilgamesh paused, “Of course, its side effects are also huge.”
”Like …… Doom?”
”It seems like you’ve already experienced it.” Gilgamesh swept Lin Qiye a glance, and after confirming that he wasn’t missing any arms or legs, he continued.
”One of the side effects of the [Star Coin] is that within half an hour after the counterclockwise rotation ends, the holder will experience an extremely terrifying backlash of doom, and this backlash is realm-ignorant, whether it’s a commoner with unarmed hands or a superbly powerful Lord God, the backlash they receive is enough to destroy themselves.
For ordinary people, it might be going out and being smashed to death by a falling vase, or losing one’s footing and falling into a river and drowning.
For a god, it might be being struck alive by a falling thunderbolt, being accidentally injured by a divine weapon, or suddenly getting caught in a melee of several gods and being besieged to death.
When I first got the [Star Coin], I experimented with a few captives, and some of them reproduced the wealth they had acquired, some of them reproduced their deceased mothers, and some of them reproduced their younger selves …… But at the end of the [Star Coin] flipping, out of the ten, only one of them ended up surviving.
The fact that you were able to live intact after using the [Star Coin] shows that your chance is truly extraordinary.”
