Wucheng.

The remaining fire flickered silently in the dead silence. The cold wind filled with the smell of blood swept through the devastated ruins, making a low humming sound.

In a remote alley, a slight clanging sound was heard, and a delicate figure carefully lifted a stone slab. She glanced around and made sure that there was no one else nearby before she climbed out of the cellar, supporting herself on the ground with both hands.

It was a little girl, not very tall, wearing the traditional dress of Uruk. She turned around and whispered to the cellar:

"The intruder is gone, you can come out now!"

One after another, figures crawled out of the cellar.

Most of these people are elderly people, women and children.

When No. 22 was killing people in the city with the [Scepter] and the [Holy Grail] in his hands, the men living nearby went to fight him with the artifacts and hid them in this cellar in advance.

At this moment, they were the last survivors in the city.

The little girl who came out first plucked up her courage and walked forward for a while. Every street, house, and ruin was completely empty, without a single person in sight.

"Where are dad and uncle?" a child asked puzzledly.

The little girl stared at the messy battlefield and the remains of clothing everywhere, her face pale. "It was the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail took them..."

"Tali!" An old man interrupted the little girl. He glanced at the child who was only four or five years old and shook his head silently at the little girl.

Looking at those innocent eyes, the little girl closed her mouth silently.

They are all native residents of Wucheng and have lived in this treasure house for generations. Except for very young children, everyone else basically knows the types and numbers of artifacts in this treasure house, and the [Holy Grail] and [Scepter] are no exception.

Although there had been a great battle, not even a corpse or a drop of blood was left. The only possibility was that the invaders had killed those men and offered their bodies as sacrifices to the Holy Grail.

"Maybe some of them are still alive." Someone suddenly spoke in the crowd.

"Yes, if so many artifacts work together, they should be able to kill the invaders, right?"

"Let's go around the city again, maybe we can find them!"

"May the three gods bless them..."

With their last fantasy in mind, everyone searched Wucheng thoroughly along the bumpy road, but they did not find a single person.

Just when they were completely hopeless, they heard a faint noise coming from outside the city wall.

"There's a noise outside the city!"

"Still alive! There must be someone still alive!"

"Quick! Quick! Let's go up to the city wall and take a look!"

Everyone's expressions lit up with joy and they quickly ran up to the city wall. When they saw the scene in the distance, they all froze in their places.

Under the dim sky, a graceful figure in a white robe walked down from the clouds. In the desert in the distance, dozens of residents of Wucheng were fleeing frantically, as if they were being chased by a demon. Cries and screams echoed among the clouds.

The graceful figure in white robe chased after the many survivors indifferently. With a wave of her hand, a long spear streaked across the sky like a meteor and instantly fell into the crowd of people who were fleeing in panic. A horrifying divine power swept across the sky, and dozens of figures exploded at the same time, turning into a blood rain that shattered in the air.

The screams and cries came to an abrupt end.

The white-robed goddess standing in the air lightly hooked her fingertips, and the shattered flesh and blood automatically flew to the crescent-shaped boat in the sky and gathered into the [Holy Grail].

Tali and others who witnessed this scene at the city wall turned pale, their legs trembled uncontrollably, and their faces were filled with fear.

"They...they..." An old man rolled his eyes and almost fainted on the spot.

"Those aren't invaders..." Tali stared blankly at the three divine figures that were gathered together in the sky, "Those are... three gods?"

"The God of Wisdom and the Moon, the God of Love and Beauty, the God of Fire and Hope...they are truly the Three Gods!"

"But, why do the three gods want to kill us? Aren't they gods under the command of our king?"

"Yes, weren't they our king's confidants when he was alive? They also know so many secrets of the Uruk era and know everything about our king... They even have our king's keepsake!"

"They have blessed Wucheng with good weather and good harvests for a hundred years on behalf of our king. Why would they want to kill us?"

“…”

The survivors of Wucheng present were all filled with shock and confusion. These words reached the ears of Lin Qiye, who had just hidden in the wall of Wucheng, causing him to frown unconsciously.

Three gods? The king's henchmen?

When he was in Wucheng before, Lin Qiye heard the term "Three Gods" from the residents of Wucheng, but at that time he only thought it was some kind of belief or rhetoric left over from the Uruk era. He never expected that the "Three Gods" they were talking about were actually the three guys in the sky.

The "king" they were referring to was undoubtedly Gilgamesh.

Those three gods are Gilgamesh's confidants?

Are you kidding?

Even though Lin Qiye didn't know much about the history of the Kingdom of Uruk, he knew clearly that Gilgamesh and the Sumerian pantheon were absolute enemies. It could even be said that Gilgamesh had been fighting against the Sumerian gods all his life. Even after his death, he specially hid the King's Treasury to prevent the Sumerian gods from getting it.

From the words of the people in Wucheng, Lin Qiye could roughly infer that the residents of Wucheng should have been deceived by the three gods who sneaked in a hundred years ago.

If you think about it carefully, it is not surprising. The ancestors of this Uruk city were the two major forging families in Uruk at that time. Moreover, before Gilgamesh's death, they had moved into the treasury and were completely isolated from the world for thousands of years.

They knew nothing about Gilgamesh's death from old age or the fall of the Kingdom of Uruk.

After thousands of years of reproduction and development, everything in Uruk could only be transformed into ancient cuneiform characters and engraved on soft clay tablets.

When the three gods came to the treasury with the token stripped from Gilgamesh's body and a large number of secrets from thousands of years ago, the people of Ucheng were completely unable to distinguish their identities and could only be deceived and fooled by them. As long as the three gods could use a little trick to make the residents of Ucheng feel their blessings, they would soon worship them as savior gods.

The god of wisdom and the moon, the god of love and beauty, the god of fire and hope... These names really beautify oneself.

"The three gods... betrayed us." Tali muttered to herself.

"Look, does that corpse floating in the air look like the stone statue at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion?"

"The king... is my king Gilgamesh!"

"How come the body of our king is in the hands of the three gods?!"

"..." The surviving residents of Ucheng recognized Gilgamesh's appearance and exclaimed.

Above the Moonlight Pool, the mysterious light pouring out from the Holy Grail flowed over the surface of Gilgamesh's body.

Gilgamesh's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and after a moment, they slowly opened...
