The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest existing heroic epic in the world.
Its content is divided into three sections, each detailing the protagonist Gilgamesh's journey through three stages.
From the brutal tyrant of Uruk to the King of Heroes who, alongside his close friend Enkidu, battles Humbaba, and finally, after failing in his quest for the herb of immortality, he awakens to become a wise king.
The protagonist, the King of Heroes Gilgamesh, possesses two-thirds divine blood and one-third human lineage, beloved by the Sumerian gods as a pivotal figure bridging humans and deities.
His legend is grand and magnificent; the strength and greatness of Gilgamesh are vividly depicted in the epic.
Now, they have crossed swords with this king, and truly feel the absolute power emanating from the King of Heroes.
Even in their eyes, what was already an almost invincible army crumbled in an instant under Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm.
This terrifying power is truly deserving of the title of the top-tier Servant, the King of Heroes.
"What on earth is happening? Why is this happening?!"
Kayneth could hardly accept this cruel reality.
As the Sword of the End fell, a cataclysmic flood, symbolizing destruction, descended upon them, and the endless waves swallowed everything within the Ionioi Hetairoi... be it the yellow sand world or the invincible formation, all were quickly buried in the raging sea.
Gilgamesh had condemned the Ionioi Hetairoi to destruction with the Anti-Civilization Noble Phantasm, the Sword of the End - Enki.
Enki is a divine construct recorded in the Epic of Gilgamesh, originally used by Enlil, the god of air and storms from Sumerian mythology, during the flood to exterminate humanity. It was later gifted to Gilgamesh.
This is a genuine Anti-Civilization Noble Phantasm; legend has it that once the Sword of the End is fired, it will activate on its own, increasing in intensity each day, and by the seventh day, it will become a tsunami, unleashing gigantic waves that could entirely engulf the world.
The moment the flood arrived, sensing the impending disaster, Kayneth immediately released a large number of familiars and various mystic codes to protect himself.
Fionn swiftly decided to carry Kayneth and escape, while Iskandar still drove the divine wheel, struggling through the deluge.
Disadvantage.
An absolute disadvantage.
Undoubtedly, facing Gilgamesh, who possessed the largest area of attack Noble Phantasms, Iskandar was at an overwhelming disadvantage... not just in terms of hard power, but more so due to the mutual restraining nature of their abilities.
His pride, the Ionioi Hetairoi, represents the pinnacle of human endeavors, while the Sword of the End is a tool of civilization's destruction, the world-ending artifact used by Enlil to eradicate humanity, effectively rendering Gilgamesh's Sword of the End a lethal counter to his Ionioi Hetairoi.
Yet even so, despite his army being obliterated...
Iskandar felt no fear; he gripped the reins tightly with both hands, still commanding his chariot to charge resolutely into the endless ocean.
For him, even in the face of an utterly unbeatable enemy, there was no reason to retreat, let alone any choice to do so, because he was the King of Conquerors!!
Boom...
The roaring thunder trampled across the raging sea, and the two azure divine bulls exhaled thunderous roars, their bodies exploding with lightning as they resisted the oncoming giant waves.
