Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Merlin: King of Heroes, Let’s Team Up Against Nameless

Nameless, pinned beneath Enkidu, smiled and said, "Of course. Let me grant you a human heart. I'll name you Enkidu — I'll call you En-chan from now on."

"Enkidu? En-chan? I like it."

The divine weapon nodded in agreement.

And at that moment, the clay puppet that once lacked a heart was finally granted humanity and wisdom.

Nameless had been completely drained of magical energy by the divine weapon and now lay sprawled on the ground, taking a short rest.

Meanwhile, the comment section couldn't help but comment:

YeetTheInfidel-[Why did I read that as "please turn me into a real woman"?]

ICastFart-[Isn't Enkidu genderless? Damn, I'm getting even more excited now!]

HistorianWithWifi-[In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes and Enkidu also fought to a draw before recognizing each other's strength and becoming close friends!]

ConstipatedProcrastinator-[I get it now! Nameless first becomes best friends with the King of Heroes, then with Enkidu — forming the most stable triangle relationship!]

YaoiBreed-[Hmm... reminds me of a classic question: If you had to lie between a gay guy and a beautiful girl, which direction would you face?]

Watching this unfold on video, Sanjiro couldn't help but smile.

The first time he met Enkidu, Enkidu had been no different from a robot — only capable of acting according to preset programs.

But thanks to his many late-night lectures and guidance, Enkidu had finally gained human emotions — in other words, a heart.

That sense of accomplishment felt no different from raising a child.

Sanjiro turned to the little brat beside him and sighed, "If only you were as gentle and obedient as En-chan."

"Hmph, how could you complain about someone as adorable as me, your precious little angel?"

Kirina responded proudly.

"A fallen angel who keeps trying to bring out a world-ending horn and destroy the world?"

Sanjiro looked increasingly annoyed.

In anime, Gabriel was just all talk.

But Kirina here? She's a real end-of-the-world-level brat!

No way — he needed to add even more chains to bind her. Her true nature must never be unleashed!

"I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Kirina flopped onto the couch, munching on watermelon with a spoon while continuing to watch the video.

The most exciting scene had finally arrived.

Gilgamesh had entered the scene.

He stood at a distance, just in time to see the Nameless lying weakly on the ground, looking utterly exhausted.

Meanwhile, Enkidu seemed like a flower freshly watered — brimming with life and energy.

The stark contrast ignited the King of Heroes fury. Without hesitation, he pulled out his most powerful Noble Phantasm — Ea, the Sword of Rupture!

This Noble Phantasm possessed the terrifying power to cut the world itself, and even he didn't know its true name.

Gilgamesh roared in anger, "A mere weapon forged by the gods dares challenge this king?!"

Just as Nameless had once said — he was like a dog in the eyes of the gods, a hound meant to guard livestock.

Now the gods had forged a divine leash, intending to shackle him into eternal servitude.

What utter delusion!

"Wedge of Heaven — you defied the will of the gods. I shall be the one to correct you."

Enkidu took a fighting stance the moment it saw Gilgamesh.

Enkidu had been created with one purpose: to return the wedge to the gods — in other words, to correct Gilgamesh.

Enkidu's only reason for descending into the human realm was to challenge and rectify Gilgamesh.

Behind Enkidu, countless golden chains materialized.

Meanwhile, the Hero King gripped Ea, ready to strike down his opponent in a single blow.

Just as the two were about to clash—

Nameless finally opened his eyes. "Gilgamesh? En-chan, what are you two doing?"

"You bastard — you're still alive?!" Gilgamesh froze in surprise.

"Shut up. Even if you die, I won't."

Nameless snapped back irritably.

Then—

He stood up and walked over to Enkidu, gently ruffling its green hair like soothing a fluffed-up kitten.

"En-chan, he's one of us — don't fight him."

"My mission is to correct the Wedge of Heaven and make it fulfill its role."

Enkidu replied expressionlessly.

"Exactly! So let's team up and hit this Chuunibyou king with a personality-correcting punch! Get him back to normal!"

Nameless grinned cheerfully.

"Personality-correcting punch? You mean we're going to... adjust him together?"

Enkidu tilted its head, Enkidu's jewel-like green eyes filled with confusion.

Enkidu just received its name and was still curious about everything human-related.

"Of course. I don't fight friends — unless you pay me extra!"

Nameless joked, then turned to Gilgamesh. "En-chan won't attack you, so you don't need to attack him either. Isn't it better to have more friends?"

"Hmph, this king needs no friends!"

Gilgamesh scoffed arrogantly.

Yet—

Despite his words, he didn't make another move.

And so, the trio returned to Uruk together...

ConstipatedProcrastinator-[Triangles really are the most stable shape!]

AlphaSigma-[Damn it! Why isn't this tsundere Hero King a girl?!]

SinMommy-[Ugh, Nameless' charm is off the charts! He was seducing girls before, and now even guys and genderless beings can't resist him!]

YaoiBreed-[So jealous! I'm eating lemons like crazy over here!]

"Nameless… Enkidu…"

Gilgamesh stared at the familiar silhouettes on screen.

Countless forgotten memories surged back — every bit of time spent together flashing through his mind.

Arguments. Cooperation. Fighting side by side in bloody battles...

What on earth had happened… to make him forget that annoying bastard?

Just then—

The Captain of the Guard walked over. "Great King, the Flower Magus, Merlin, requests an audience with you."

"Oh? What's it about?"

Gilgamesh lowered his gaze, clearly uninterested.

"Please, take a look for yourself."

The captain handed him a tablet.

This made Gilgamesh pause — remembering how Siduri once used to offer him clay tablets the same way.

Time had passed. She was gone.

Not a single familiar face remained around him…

Snapping out of his thoughts, Gilgamesh accepted the tablet.

On the screen was a message—

[Esteemed King of Heroes, I am Merlin, the Flower Magus. Would you be interested in working together?]

"Oh? And how exactly do you propose we collaborate?"

Gilgamesh replied casually.

That guy had always hidden away in Avalon's endless tower, even Gilgamesh had trouble locating him.

[It was truly an honor to have once been publicly praised by you — you said I'd make a fine retainer. This time, I seek your cooperation in pursuit of greater delight~!]

"Cloaked rat hiding in the shadows — you think you're worthy?"

Gilgamesh scorned him without mercy.

"Uhh, I know I'm aiming high here, but this time, it's about Nameless!"

Sitting before his screen, Merlin blinked in surprise.

Something felt... off.

Didn't Gilgamesh once praise him for his understanding of delight, saying he deserved to be his retainer?

Why did it feel like he was being viewed as a potential enemy now?

Merlin quickly typed:

[I'm planning to assist Mordred in heading to Japan. We'll seek out that arrogant Nameless spirit and stage a grand performance full of delight!]

[In Japan, huh... Fine, you gutter rat. This once, I'll humor you.]

"Pleasure doing business!"

Merlin grinned ear to ear, overflowing with joy.

Mordred had told him earlier that Nameless should be in Japan. And a truly spectacular performance needed a proper audience.

Who better than the King of Heroes himself as the VIP guest?

Seeing how eager he was to witness Nameless' humiliation, he'd definitely show up — and join Merlin in tormenting him!

This plan was foolproof!

The excitement was almost too much to handle!

Merlin smiled joyfully as he streamed his antics — teasing that top-ranking shut-in doctor.

All the while, he continued watching the Oldest King video.

In the video—

The divine weapon that was meant to correct Gilgamesh had been completely won over by Nameless.

Naturally, the gods would not sit idly by.

A titanic beast of unimaginable scale descended from the heavens.

Behind it surged an endless flood, and above it flashed thunderous storms — all aimed at devouring Uruk in one fell swoop!

The gods' punishment had arrived — it was none other than the Bull of Heaven!

===============

T/N: Well bruh, Imma admit, the place where Sanjiro lived aint Japan, its somewhere in China. Even the motherfucking weapons came from there.

I really don't get why chinese authors changing the original locations and other stuffs, it just create mess one after another.

So Imma wing it, of course.... not like I've not been winging it since Chapter 1 XD.

I'm just worried a lil bit to mess up the locations or names and said one thing but put something different in the next chap.

That's all.
