Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 91

Chapter 91

Because they were children of the gods they were able to draw on a portion of their father's divine power and this allowed them great feats.

Just look at the mythology where most of the great Heroes were demigods.

Hercules, son of the King of the Greek Gods, Zeus, the man who was recognized as the greatest Hero of Greece and even gained a rank among the Gods.

Achilles, son of a Greek Sea nymph Thetis, and descended from a Primitive Sea God Nereus, the hero of the Trojan War and one who gained invulnerability by being bathed in divine flames and trained by Chiron the Trainer of Heroes.

Karna, son of the Hindu Sun God Surya, the invulnerable Hero who wielded the spear Vasaki Shakti, the hero who earned the respect even of the God Indra.

Among many others, all were great heroes children of gods.

The power of the demigods was great enough to destabilize the balance of the world, along with the fact that the gods always had several demigods, this only increased.

So the Gods had made a non-verbal agreement to stop having children with mortals, or at least decrease it, thus keeping the balance of the world.

So here was Gilgamesh a two-thirds divine demigod who possesses Sacred Gear of the Longinus Class, though his deity is inherited from the original Gilgamesh, as his parents are human.

This already made its very existence capable of destroying the balance of the world.

"Although I am very surprised that You have three Longinus, considering I don't believe you were born with them all, and also the fact that your body can withstand the pressure exerted by them, so how do you have them?" asked Azazel as he looked at Gilgamesh out of the corner of his eye.

Gilgamesh laughed before answering.

"I don't mind saying. I was truly born with [Zenith Tempest] two years ago and fought and tamed [Regulus Nemea]," said Gilgamesh.

"But doesn't that explain [Boosted Gear]?" asks Azazel curiously.

"Some time ago I found some of his Fallen Angels killing a boy to extract his Sacred Gear, so I killed them and used my power to extract the boy's Sacred Gear for me, but keeping him alive so he could go on living." Gilgamesh while looking at the river.

Azazel's eyes widened slightly at that.

His Fallen Angels weren't the most loyal, as they always did things behind his back, so it's no surprise they tried to kill someone with power.

Though it made him sad.

But what surprised him most was what he said.

To be able to extract the Sacred Gear from someone and leave those people still living?

Gilgamesh shook his head.

Sighing Gilgamesh stood up, making Azazel look surprised.

"I think I should go," said Gilgamesh before turning to leave.

"Have a good night" said Azazel before getting up and saying one more thing: "Before you go I want you to answer me, whose side are you on?"

Azazel asked this question as he had realized that Gilgamesh had no love and loyalty for the Church.

Gilgamesh stopped with his back to Azazel and replied:

"I'm on the human side," said Gilgamesh, making Azazel doubt: "I don't care what you and the Fiends do, as long as you don't take advantage of innocent humans and I won't do anything. I do not mind"

Azazel then laughed and replied.

"That would be impossible, as long as the supernatural exists they have always taken advantage of humans," said Azazel in an empty voice.

"It is true. Wanting that to change would be like wanting a lion to stop eating meat. And that's why as long as I live I won't let you harm humans," said Gilgamesh in a serious voice.

"Is this a threat, King of Heroes?" questions Azazel with a dangerous tone.

"That is a promise, Archangel of Doom," said Gilgamesh seriously as the Leader of the Fallen Angels frowned at the mention of his title he held when he had his white wings.

Azazel let out a cynical laugh.

And then it happened.

In less than a second Azazel created a spear of light in his hand and held it, this spear had been imbedded with enough power to vaporize Ultimate class beings, burning steals could even kill a being of Satan class, and in that same second he turned and swung his spear at Gilgamesh.

The intention was not to kill Gilgamesh, the intention of Azazel was to see how far the King of Heroes was willing to go, what he would be willing to do.

So blood goes everywhere.

So Azazel then looked at his hand, or rather the lack of it.

The dismembered right hand fell to the ground with a splash a few meters away. Azazel looked at his severed hand, confused, before comprehension began to dawn.

In a single instant he leapt away from Gilgamesh and created a magic circle on his torn arm to stop the bleeding.
