Chapter 0008: The Sword of the Hanging Roof
It is regrettable that this world is ultimately not the true world
This sword grants him the power of civilization, strong and mysterious, enabling him to forge brilliance, yet it is exceedingly unsafe, with the tip of the sword poised to fall at any moment, potentially taking his life away.
The center is a vast ocean, surrounded by mountains and rivers
Gilgamesh, with a physique as handsome as a Greek statue, sits upon the throne made of the bones of the great beast Fenba, seemingly gazing through the endless azure sky beyond the palace.
A single breath from it is enough to blow away the giant beasts of Arabia
However, the king of Sumer from that year remained valiant.
Throughout the history of the Earth, regardless of which great ancient king, there has always been a strong thirst for knowledge and ambition towards the world
He strives for excellence in governance, is heroic and extremely charismatic, but also tyrannical and arrogant.
Gilgamesh, imbued with the blood of strength, slays the legendary beast Humbaba, establishing the Sumerian dynasty, moving massive stones to encircle and create the first city-state in history, the city of Uruk
He sat on the throne, like a long-sleeping lion, his eyes slowly gazing into the distance, as if looking through the ancient forest of a hundred years ago that he had once encountered, where a towering giant, a super giant of ten thousand feet tall, with a radiant white glow, born divine, had held his young self in his large hands, overlooking the mountains and rivers of the world, and entrusted him with three treasures of civilization.
The settled tribal era spanned several generations, during which the wooden houses they used decayed and deteriorated. Under the leadership of Gilgamesh, people began to construct houses from stone, officially entering the Stone Age of resisting giant beasts
Yes, Your Majesty
His single-handed strength, unexpectedly able to drag the body of the hundred-meter behemoth Fenba, which is comparable to towering mountains, has made countless tribes proud and left them in awe.
The sound of its breathing and wheezing while sleeping is enough to create a gust in the lush giant forest, causing countless giant trees to sway.
This weapon, the Sword of Damocles, gifted to him, although he treasures it as a priceless possession and it has opened the path for the sacred sword of an entire civilization, is it not also a warning to him
In the eighty-seventh year of the Sumerian dynasty, Gilgamesh was one hundred and twenty-seven years old
Dionysius trembled with fervor
The tribe is in an uproar
Gilgamesh whispered, his astonished fingers caressing the blade, "What material is this? What colossal beast's bones? Or what civilization's craftsmanship?"
He suddenly paused, turned his head, and cast a longing glance at their king, the great hero king who led them out of the cave, ushering in the era of tribal agriculture, transitioning into the Stone Age, and now advancing into the era of city-states
Unfortunately, my life is coming to an end. The power of the bloodline no longer has any effect on me. I want to live a third life... Great wise beast, I want to see you again!
At this moment of his return, he looked at the people of the Stone Age tribe and suddenly said.
The battle lasted for a full three days and nights, causing the earth to crack, the canyons to collapse, and countless giant beasts to flee from the forests.
The sky is an infinitely high arc, while the ground is a perfect square
Your Majesty, yet still youthful
When the tribal people passed away, after nearly a century, their grandchildren and descendants no longer remember the hardships and struggles of their ancestors, and gradually deteriorate along with comfort.
Thirty years later, he returned to the city of Uruk once again to complete his mission. However, he was no longer a young man but a trembling old man with cloudy eyes, who could not live much longer.
The new era of civilization has begun!
Giant beast Fenba, lying on the ground, is like a majestic mountain range.
I want to establish a country.
For over a hundred years, Your Majesty's power has not been exerted. The extent of its strength is already unknown. Perhaps in the future, this long-lived and immortal king will lead the Sumerian people into the next era of civilization.
Gilgamesh, invincible across the entire land, began to devote himself to the development of civilization
The civilization possessed by the wise behemoth is simply difficult to fathom
For this world, this shiny and hard material is both mysterious and powerful, and it is also unique.
More than thirty years ago, Dionysus was still a young man, a renowned adventurer in the city-state. He was summoned to the palace by His Majesty to investigate the entire geographical location and was entrusted by the king with a lifelong great mission - to draw a geographical map of the city-state.
The Sword of Damocles, like a hanging sword, with its tip suspended high above his head.
The round arched roof is intricately carved with delicate textures, while the snow-white wall lamps cast a faint glow. On both sides are pillars adorned with circular golden patterns, and the ground is covered with a bright red carpet made of the fur of powerful beasts.
Gilgamesh, with the genes of termites, can easily uproot a hundred-year-old giant tree that requires four people to embrace. With a gentle leap, he can reach a height of seven to eight meters and possesses the strength to move mountains.
What a magnificent sovereign this is
When the life of the insect ape was about to end, at the moment when Gilgamesh died of old age, he used the blood of power, went through a life-and-death experience, returned to his youthful body, lived a second life, and restored the heroic king full of courage and passion in his youth, leading the tribe to embark on the path of war once again.
What is our world like?
Just as he appeared when he visited as a ranger in those years, his extraordinarily handsome and perfect face seemed as if time had never left a mark upon it
On this vast and boundless land, riding the fastest Fenqila behemoth in a straight line, reaching the edges of both worlds, it takes more than twenty years of full-speed running...
Dionysius rose and departed
The city of Uruk has finally reached a terrifying population of over ten million
The History of the Sumerian Dynasty, Records:
His fingers gently caressed, as if accompanied by a lover who had shared endless years with him
It is the king ruling over the entire era of colossal beasts.
The Power of Civilization, he only mastered a part, the rest is all unknown, just like the secret of how this sword was made, which made him deeply fearful and trembling!!
The power of civilization... truly something to aspire to.
They have all reached the ends of the world, yet none have found that great wise beast from back then. Where exactly does it reside in this world? Gilgamesh took a deep breath
Time has advanced another ten years
Those brave warriors who ventured outward traveled from all directions, undertaking a monumental project that lasted over twenty years to establish a round trip, suffering countless casualties, and today they have finally learned the shape of the entire world
Our world is round like the heavens and square like the earth
The dim and gloomy palace of Uruk
Overcome with joy and tears, they embraced and wept, fully aware that under the leadership of this great and handsome Sumerian hero king, the days of hardship and wandering had come to an end, and there was no longer any need to fear the savage beasts.
When the palace was empty, Gilgamesh let out a long sigh and slowly drew out the holy sword he had carried with him all these years, the Sword of Damocles, its blade intricately crafted, emanating a bright, cold light of steel
Countless slaves are traded here, and even arenas have been established where nobles delight in pitting slaves against ferocious beasts, laughing heartily.
The power of the torch has been mastered, the blood of power has also fully understood its function, yet the sword of Damocles... I have searched the entire world, but I have not found how it was forged
He created currency, refined language, and established cities, yet he cruelly divided humanity into three, six, and nine classes, instituted slavery, and caused great suffering and financial strain by sending forth numerous warriors to begin exploring the boundaries of the world
Dionysius gestured respectfully yet exaggeratedly, saying: "In our world, the heavens are round and the earth is square
History is written by the victors, and Gilgamesh did not record the atrocities of filicide, but rather his valor is documented in the Book of Genesis
A tall and handsome man sits calmly on an exquisite throne of white bones, with the legendary sword, the Sword of Damocles, never leaving his side
Great King of Sumer, Lord of the City-States! Your Majesty Gilgamesh! We have explored the entire land. The palace minister Dionysius, slightly bowing, fervently recounted the experiences of these years
After a moment of silence, the greatest king in the world said: "Alright, you may leave."
Its body spans across the entire Smikarl Giant Forest
He is a great hero of the people, as well as an unmitigated tyrant
There are no mineral veins, no copper mines, no iron mines, and no various ores deliberately buried here; this is originally an ordinary farmland and orchard. Beneath the surface lies only soil, thus they can only remain forever in the Stone Age. In their understanding of the world, the term "metal" will never exist.
On this day, Gilgamesh bathed in blood, his physique robust and strong, holding the sword of Damocles in one hand while dragging back the corpse of the hundred-meter giant Fenba with the other hand
It is the same as before, when Xu Zhi saw that terrifying and invincible giant beast resembling a large cat.
Time continues to move forward
He slaughtered the most terrifying king of the monstrous beasts, Finba, while leading one civilization after another
He led the people in rebellion against the giant beast, engaging in continuous battles. Finally, after thirteen years, the momentum reached its peak, and he chose to challenge the most terrifying creature on this land, known for possessing the greatest power, the legendary giant beast Finba
Countless people have composed hymns in his honor, praising his strength; he is the strongest hero king in history
