Chapter 83: The Mightiest Holy Sword—The Disruptor Sword!

At just ten years old, Gilgamesh seized the highest authority in the city-state of Uruk through sheer martial force, becoming the youngest lord in history! Right from the start, he held absolute power without any council system to share authority.

The city of Uruk transformed into a militarized state, with the entire city focused on warfare. Every day, intense battles broke out! Gilgamesh enacted combat policies, encouraging the populace to duel one another, embracing a love for battle while shunning any form of cowardice! The emergence of artifacts in the Middle Garden drew everyone’s attention, and Gilgamesh felt it was time to prepare himself with the most formidable equipment!

He constantly sought out the mightiest beasts to challenge, honing his skills through combat. Along the way, he discovered several artifacts, but unfortunately, none caught his fancy.

Slowly, his power surpassed what common people could conceive; his immense strength was enough to rival the mightiest dragons, while his archery skills were said to be scarier than those of the Elves! A mere saint was insufficient to assess his true power.

After five long years of searching, traversing mountains and rivers…

Gilgamesh stumbled upon three divine gemstones in a perilous dead zone: one blue, one yellow, and one black.

The blue gem symbolized the sky, the yellow represented the earth, but the meaning of the black gem remained a mystery.

Upon finding these three gemstones, Gilgamesh let out a wild laugh, forgetting protocol; he knew he had stumbled upon the strongest artifact!

Returning to the city of Uruk, he spent a whole year forging the mightiest holy sword—the Disruptor Sword! Though named a sword, it was really just the closest form to one.

Gilgamesh raised the Disruptor Sword high, its three cylindrical blades rotating in different directions, and cracks began to appear in space!

Its mere activation was enough to cut through dimensions! With the birth of the Disruptor Sword, the sky over the Middle Garden changed color in an instant as black lightning struck down, attempting to destroy this artifact. Gilgamesh bellowed, ‘The time for judgment has arrived! With my Disruptor Sword, I shall rend the world asunder— the doomsday of the gods is upon us!’

The Disruptor Sword was fully unleashed! The storm clouds in the sky dissipated in an instant, and the three blade tips disappeared, revealing an endless array of law patterns across the sky—this was the interpretation of the world’s laws! Gilgamesh laughed maniacally; he had shattered his limits, a surge of magic power coursing through him, stepping into a new realm he called: legend!

The sky over the Middle Garden turned dark, as if heaven itself was enraged.

Players were puzzled, wondering what had happened since they had logged in after a long time without a system announcement.

‘A new era has arrived! The Middle Garden’s protagonist, Hero King Gilgamesh, forges the mightiest artifact, the Disruptor Sword, breaking through limits and stepping into the realm of legends—he will officially dominate the entire Middle Garden and raise a rebellious sword against the gods!’

Players were dumbstruck, never expecting a true protagonist to emerge. Judging by the information, they realized he was a force beyond their capabilities! The forums buzzed with discussions; everyone hailed the arrival of a new expansion, eager to ally with this king in hopes of securing positions of power! However, players’ opinions varied.

Among them was Xilin, currently the most successful. ‘I’ve fought so hard, conquered multiple city-states, and built a powerful army—there’s no way I’ll back down!’

In the Middle Garden, 16-year-old Gilgamesh wielded the world-shaking holy sword, embarking on a campaign. City-states eagerly submitted to this unrivaled powerhouse.

In Corinth, a city with a legacy spanning thousands of years, boasting countless gold-tier experts and a council of saints, Gilgamesh single-handedly stormed into the city.

Dozens of saint-level masters fell effortlessly to his blade, even without fully unleashing their artifacts.

Suddenly, a five-colored divine glow erupted as a saint concealed his artifact— a holy sword of light like gathering lightning!

Its speed rivaled lightning racing through the sky. Gilgamesh sneered, and with a swift motion, the blades of the Disruptor Sword began to spin.

With a crackling sound, space was torn apart; the holy sword of light let out a mournful cry, submitting to the superior artifact!

The saint’s face changed dramatically as he exclaimed, ‘This artifact has never been recorded in any ancient texts; how could it be so powerful?’

With a casual wave, space shattered, and a wind pressure like a hurricane leveled nearby stone houses, the saint was instantly reduced to the basic elements of existence.

‘Surely, it could rival the might of the strongest artifact, the God King’s Authority!’

This was the saint’s only thought before he met his end— such a terrifying artifact surpassed imagination! Only the Original Sin Holy Sword, the source of all conflict and evil, could possibly suppress it! One city-state after another fell under Gilgamesh’s reign, and powerful figures bowed before him, gradually establishing a vast empire known as Sumer! Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent, across the Qina Sea, a large alliance began to gather—the Xilin Alliance! Led by Xilin, whose wisdom amazed everyone. Faced with the pressure from the Sumer Kingdom, many city-states began to ally on this side of the Qina Sea, aiming to resist together.

‘According to analysis, Gilgamesh’s cultivation has already surpassed the saint realm; he claims to be a legend, though his experience in advancing to legend is not easily replicable.

If we can figure out a method for ascending to legend, surely we could garner the support of most powerful figures! It would lead to a massive influx of neutral city-states joining us!’ A woman in light clothing responded.

Xilin frowned—while he was interested in cultivation, focusing all his energy on expanding his influence left him limited. Finding a breakthrough method to legend wouldn’t be easy. Suddenly, his expression brightened. Just because he didn’t know didn’t mean the vast number of netizens wouldn’t! Thinking this, he told his subordinates, ‘You all go back to rest. I’ll consult the extraterrestrial beings.’

The others, long aware of their lord’s odd habits, knew these otherworldly beings indeed existed, so one by one, they headed home.

Once Xilin logged off, he immediately posted on the forum to articulate his dilemma.

‘Big shot, you can’t be seriously thinking of arm wrestling with the protagonist, Gilgamesh? The data you’ve shared reveals he’s incredibly powerful, half-man, half-god—beyond your ability to handle!’

While some netizens urged Xilin to give up, others began theorizing based on the data he provided, particularly since they had practiced the Hill Breathing Technique in the real world.

Though the results were nearly nonexistent, they understood the principles! Moreover, such theorizing could even utilize calculators for simulations.

‘Let’s see—bronze, silver, gold, saint level. The principle is to guide energy to cleanse the body. At the saint level, the soul begins to separate from the body. After that, doesn’t it require splitting the soul? After all, splitting the mind is a means of strengthening!’ (dog head emoji)

‘Don’t throw around random ideas; this is soul consciousness. A slight mistake could turn a person into an idiot!’

‘Next, we should consider ways to strengthen the soul. Once the soul becomes powerful enough to control the body, then we should be able to touch the path to legend.’

‘No, no, according to the data, many saint-level experts have sought rare herbs, and after consumption, their souls and bodies were already perfect, yet they still couldn’t live beyond a millennium; that’s clearly not the correct path.’

Finding a way to ascend to legend has become a hot topic across the web, with various netizens brainstorming ideas, but few truly viable solutions emerged.

In the Middle Garden, many strong beings, like dragons, possibly possess legendary strength or beyond, but they are all born with it, unaware of the reasons behind their abilities!

They merely needed to mature naturally over time, relying purely on their innate talents, while more terrifyingly, some were born as divine beings! With billions of people on Earth, the diversity of thoughts is immense, especially since they possess their own advantages accumulated over time.

A particular research facility’s viewpoint caught everyone’s attention.

‘Have you noticed? Gilgamesh’s ascension to legend seems linked to forging a powerful artifact; thus, he shattered his limits! Despite previously being much stronger than other saints, he remained within this realm!’

This statement ignited many minds as they speculated what unexpected events had occurred during Gilgamesh’s artifact forging that allowed him to finally break through the barriers, transforming into a Middle Garden legend!
