Merlin stepped forward and said calmly.

"Ah."

Gilgamesh nodded slightly. Just as Xia Die was about to introduce herself, Gilgamesh interrupted her, saying, "No need for introductions. I know you, Xia Die. I have seen everything you have done. Whatever your purpose in coming here, I acknowledge your contributions to Uruk. I will not mistreat anyone who has contributed to Uruk. State your needs. If possible, I will assist you. Of course, you also need to contribute to Uruk."

Gilgamesh's words startled Xia Die.

That's not right. Logically speaking, this wise king should be the arrogant type who looks down on everyone. How come he's so easy to talk to?

However, Xia Die overlooked the differences between herself and the original work.

In the original story, Gudako had to go through many events to demonstrate her strength before she could gain Gilgamesh's approval. However, Chloe's actions in escorting survivors and her battles outside the city allowed Gilgamesh to see her strength.

Both in terms of strength and character, he is a first-rate individual. If Gilgamesh didn't want such an ally, he wouldn't be a wise king, but rather a third-rate villain from a novel.

In such a life-or-death situation, any effective and powerful combat force can influence the course of the battle, let alone a being like Xia Die who can rival a god.

Even Gilgamesh's clairvoyance couldn't see through Xia Die's identity, which made Gilgamesh quite curious.

In his all-seeing eyes, the one who should have arrived at his palace at this moment was the Master of Chaldea, but in reality, the Master of Chaldea did not arrive; instead, an unknown being came.

Ohm, Golden Descendant—Gilgamesh guessed that the butterfly must be a god from some world.

Otherwise, one could not understand the intense death power emanating from the other party and the power comparable to that of a god.

In the age of gods, there were indeed many beings who could rival the gods with their mortal bodies. Generally speaking, such people would eventually become gods or great heroes.

"All I seek is the spark of death, to restore my wholeness. In the meantime, I will remain in Uruk to help defend against the monsters. If you need anything, please ask me."

"Hahaha, that's great. Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony. Uruk is going through a turbulent time right now, so having one more person is never a bad thing."

A hearty laugh echoed throughout the hall. After receiving the answer he wanted, the oldest king couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Gilgamesh then calmed down and looked at Xia Die: "So, can you tell me why you helped Uruk?"

"I just... don't want to see death come."

"Are they people who have been blessed by death, yet they hate death?"

Gilgamesh looked at the other person and stroked his chin as he spoke.

"It's not that I hate it, but death should be a serious matter no matter what, and the more you come into contact with death, the more serious it becomes."

Xia Die gently shook her head.

Merlin pondered for a moment, and was about to speak when he saw a guard rush in in a panic.

"I apologize for interrupting your pleasant conversation, Your Majesty!"

"What happened?"

Gilgamesh did not deny the conversation. At their first meeting, he and Xia Die both got what they wanted, and it was indeed a pleasant chat.

"Someone is approaching Uruk; it is one of the pillars of the Three Goddesses Alliance, the goddess Iztar!"

Upon hearing the guard's report, Gilgamesh sighed as he sat on his throne: "That idiot again. Is she an incorrigible moron?"

When Ishtar was mentioned, Gilgamesh immediately switched to Zaun mode.

"What did you say!?"

As soon as Gilgamesh finished speaking, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the sky directly above the temple, and then Iztar appeared in the room riding on Maana.

Dust and smoke filled the air; it was clear that the goddess's battle was not something ordinary people could get involved in, and the guards left the scene immediately.

Upon entering the room, Ishtar discovered that the other butterfly was also there.

"You're here too? Stay away, or you might get hurt."

Upon seeing the butterfly, Ishtar paused for a moment, then waved her hand and spoke gently.

Gilgamesh, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow: "That's really strange. The goddess Ishtar is actually worried about others."

"Huh? I...I'm not worried at all! You mere humans, don't take yourselves too seriously...I'm just worried about Uruk, no, this place no longer belongs to me, anyway, I'm not worried about her at all!"

Ishtar, struck by Gilgamesh's words, quickly shook her head and then began to contradict herself.

Watching the interaction between the two, Xia Die couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Ishtar's personality is so easy to guess.

The difference between Xia Die and Gilgamesh is that Xia Die is willing to go along with the other person, to soothe them and make them happy, while Gilgamesh is not at all indulgent and does not give the other person any face.

"Your anxious defense is truly repulsive. Is it because Xia Die is your only believer now? Hahaha, Xia Die, don't be fooled by this woman's appearance. Although she looks like a goddess, in reality, she's just an arrogant and conceited fool, completely unworthy of being a goddess!"

"I don't care about Xia Die at all! You bastard, I'm going to riddle you with bullets!"

Chacha (Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia) : 14: The Possibility of Becoming a Master

Ishtar did not linger. Although she was furious and wanted to kill Gilgamesh, the large number of people present clearly prevented her from doing so. In the end, after seeing the Gorgon symbol above Anna's head, she pondered for a moment and left Uruk.

Gilgamesh did not keep Xia Die and the others to talk, after all, he was pressed for time and had many political affairs to attend to. After a brief meeting, Xia Die and Merlin quickly left the palace.

Gilgamesh gave Thalys a great deal of freedom regarding her arrangements in Uruk; except for his specific commissions, Thalys was free to move about the city.

Of course, if there are any difficult tasks, Gilgamesh will still entrust them to Thanatos.

"Is something on your mind, Merlin?"

Walking along the road, Xia Die looked at Merlin, who had been deep in thought since earlier, and asked him curiously.

"Hmm, there's something. According to the timeline, the Chaldea Master should have arrived in Uruk by now, but I haven't heard any news about Chaldea yet. This is really unusual. Could it be that something happened to them on the way?"

Merlin scratched his head in frustration. The situation was dire. Chaldea Masters could greatly aid in battle by using Command Seals, as a single Command Seal could force a Servant to unleash their full power—such an ability was incredibly valuable.

Without Chaldea's support, many Servants probably won't be able to use their full strength.

Xia Die didn't say anything about it, but she soon noticed that Merlin was looking at her strangely.

"What does this have to do with me?"

I have a feeling this guy isn't up to any good...

"No, no, no, Ms. Xia Die, you forgot one thing, which is... you also have magic circuits in your body, which means you also have the ability to become a Master."

Merlin looked at Xia Die with a smile.

A question mark slowly appeared on Xia Die's forehead.

So, did the system modify itself when it traveled through time?

Logically speaking, I shouldn't have this thing.

Even if she did have them, it wouldn't matter much, since Cheryl doesn't have Command Seals. Without the effects of Command Seals, all Cheryl can do is act as a power bank for Servants.

The key point is that Xia Die herself is very powerful and doesn't need any Servants to help her fight...

"Well, don't worry, Miss Xia Die. I know what you're thinking. However, I want you to sign a contract with Anna. As a Servant, Anna is still somewhat weak without a Master. If you sign a contract, it might come in handy at a crucial moment."

Merlin suggested.

"Anna, what do you think?"

Xia Die didn't offer any opinion, but instead looked at Anna.

If it were Anna, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

After all, Xia Die didn't dislike this cute little guy; in fact, she liked him quite a bit.

"I wouldn't dislike having you as my Master... but never mind, anyway, what happens to humanity in the end is none of my business..."

Anna paused for a moment, looked at the people around her, and said calmly.

There was still a slight barrier in her heart, but it was no exception when she thought about what happened when the Gorgon sisters moved to the island in the myth.

Why do I always feel that the way you look at me is somewhat rude?

Merlin on the side complained.

"No, that's not true. If you feel offended, then you are the one who is offended."

Anna turned her face away and said indifferently.

"Forehead..."

Merlin scratched the back of his head and just smiled.

Anna didn't like Merlin, who was a bit glib. Of course, the bigger reason was probably that Merlin had tricked Anna out of one of the candies that Xiaodie had given her a couple of days ago.

How wicked Merlin! He tricked the kids into giving him candy!

Since Anna hasn't resolved her inner conflict yet, neither Merlin nor Xiaodie brought up the matter again.

It's a bit of a shame that Xia Die can't summon Servants, otherwise she really wanted to give it a try.

To be honest, Xia Die was a little curious about who she would summon if she were to summon a Servant. Maybe she could even summon some fictional Heroic Spirits.

If it were possible to summon Kratos, wouldn't that make him invincible?

Or perhaps it's about summoning an enemy with ten thousand lives, sending them to the battlefield to fight...

If we could summon those fellow Golden Blood companions as Servants, things here might be much simpler.

That night, to celebrate the arrival of Xia Die, Siduli hosted a small welcome party.

Gilgamesh did not come over. Even though the sun had set, he was still handling official business in his palace. Merlin felt his scalp tingle at the intensity of his work and bluntly said that if an ordinary person did this, they would have died from overwork long ago.

On the table, Xia Die also saw the other Servants.

King Leonidas I of Sparta, the famous Japanese warlord Ushiwakamaru Minamoto no Yoshitsune, and her retainer Musashibo.

Although these Servants aren't considered particularly rare in the game, in reality, their combat power is extremely high.

With his speed, Ushiwakamaru moved across the battlefield as if it were empty, and so did Leonidas. Now that Uruk is impregnable, he and his three hundred warriors deserve a lot of credit.

The title of "Guardian of the Flame Gate" is well-deserved.

"Speaking of which, Miss Xia Die's ability is truly terrifying. She can actually kill an enemy with just a touch? This ability is really convenient on the battlefield. If it weren't for Miss Xia Die's ability, the number of survivors who returned would probably be much smaller."

Beside him, 'Ling Liu Si (Liu Qi Ba Er Xia Niu Ruo Wan) sat down next to Xia Die with a glass of barley wine, completely ignoring the death curse on her.
