Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 302

Silence permeated the place as Gilgamesh stared at Nyx.

Crimson met black, the serious expressions of the two divine beings met without flinching.

Gilgamesh still remembered when he had met with the Primordial Goddess.

It was a few years ago, while Gilgamesh was still working for the Church under his title of "Strongest Exorcist".

It was a simple mission to exterminate some creatures in Greece, although it was troubling that Gilgamesh was acting on the territory of the Greek Pantheon.

But still the King of Heroes had gone to carry out his mission that had been quite simple for him, however in the middle of it he ended up meeting Nyx.

The Primordial Goddess of the Night had a great interest in Sacred Gears of the Longinus class, although it was more of a concern due to the Longinus being like anomalies that interfere a lot in the world.

And then the fact that Gilgamesh at the time possessed two of them caught the Goddess' attention a lot.

Gilgamesh had met with Nyx, and after a conversation between the two a fight inevitably ensued.

Nyx was strong, she deserved her title as "Primordial Goddess of the Night" for a reason, her mastery over [Manipulation of Darkness] was something Gilgamesh had never seen equal.

However even then she didn't come close to beating Gilgamesh who using the [Enkidu: Chains of Heaven] trapped her, and being a deity Nyx can't do to defend herself and ended up being defeated.

After this Gilgamesh had talked and become friends with Nyx, and after that Nyx always appeared from time to time for both of them to talk.

Gilgamesh was not blind not to realize that Nyx had a crush on him, although he liked the Greek Goddess his feelings were not romantic, he just liked to tease the woman.

But the fun and joyful Goddess of the Night that Gilgamesh knew didn't seem to be in front of him now.

Looking at Nyx, the King of Heroes could see that her normally cheerful gaze had been replaced by a blank and distant one.

And that, frankly, Gilgamesh didn't like.

"What happened?" asked Gilgamesh turning to the Primordial Goddess.

For Gilgamesh, who had grown accustomed to Nyx's cheerful look and way of life, seeing her like this made him feel worried.

However, instead of responding, Nyx cut the distance between her and Gilgamesh and did something that surprised the King of Heroes.

She embraced him.

Gilgamesh's crimson eyes widened in surprise when he saw Nyx throw herself against him and hug him, but even though he found this strange he returned the embrace.

"What happened?" asked Gilgamesh as he hugged the Goddess who had tears forming in her eyes.

"They are coming for you" Nyx's sad voice came out in a low whisper.

"Who?" asked Gilgamesh curiously.

Who would be foolish enough to come after him? Even more so after the power he demonstrated in the fight against Sirzechs.

"Hades" replied Nyx.

Gilgamesh's eyes widened at the mention of the Greek God of the Dead, there were few beings who didn't know Hades.

Hades was a member of the Supreme Trinity of Greek Gods, yet his power far exceeded that of Poseidon and Zeus, and he was considered one of the "10 Strongest Beings in the World".

Gilgamesh knew that Hades had a deep hatred for beings from other mythologies, thinking them unnecessary and aiming to eliminate them, besides his clear hatred for the possessors of Longinus.

"Why is Hades after me?" asked Gilgamesh.

Even though he had an idea, he wanted to make sure it was happening.

"Some time ago Hades set up a group and invited other Dark Gods to participate, his goal is to destroy the leaders of each mythology, the Super Devils Sirzechs Lucifer and Ajuka Beelzebub and the Longinus users" replied Nyx as she hugged Gilgamesh tighter.

"And how is he planning to do that?" asked Gilgamesh frowning his eyes.

No matter how he imagined it, what Hades planned to do was pure suicide, no matter how strong he was and how many allies he had, he was bound to fail, especially with such grandiose goals.

He planned to eliminate the leaders of each mythology, and among them were beings such as Ra, Indra, Shiva, Odin, Amaterasu and other gods and beings with absurd powers, not to mention Sirzechs and Ajuka who were in the Top 10.

Besides Gilgamesh himself.

"Hades has an army, long ago he obtained the body of Lilith, the mother of all demons, and since then he has been experimenting to create his own army with over one hundred thousand artificial demons and four of them are exceptional in power" Nyx explained calmly.

Gilgamesh listened to everything calmly, he remembered that Hades had an army, but he couldn't imagine that something like this was happening right under the eyes of the Underworld.

But something was bothering him...

"And how do you know about all this Nyx?" asked Gilgamesh curiously.

Gilgamesh felt Nyx stiffen in his embrace.

"One of the Dark Gods that Hades recruited was my brother Erebus, and I ended up joining in to find out about what Hades was up to" Nyx said as she relaxed.

Gilgamesh only sighed, it was quite in Nyx's temper to do something that dangerous.

"Okay, just be careful, what you did was something very irresponsible" said Gilgamesh shaking his head in denial.

"Okay" muttered Nyx with a smile on her face.

"But then how was Hades planning to deal with the possessors of the Longinus?" asked Gilgamesh curious.

After all, if a Longinus possessor died Sacred Gear would find someone else to be its host.

"It is not Hades, but the Primordial God of the Tartarus Abyss who has a form, he is able to control the abyss, which is a vast space of emptiness filled with pure darkness. Tartarus can seal his enemies inside this abyss and keep them alive, which prevents Longinus from being transferred to another host if his current host dies" Nyx explained calmly. josei

Gilgamesh nodded in understanding, if Tartarus sealed the Longinus possessor there was no way to escape and that way the Sacred Gear of the Longinus class no longer became a problem.

"And after your battle against Sirzechs, Hades is very mad and has advanced his plans to come after you" Nyx said in a whisper.

"I understand. But you don't have to worry, Hades and his group is not a problem for me" said Gilgamesh.

Even before he was transformed into a [True Hero] Gilgamesh was sure that his power would be enough to handle Hades, and his followers.

But now with his transformation to a [True Hero] and with his [Ultimate Skills] the King of Heroes was absolutely certain that not even someone of Shiva's level could beat him, so Hades and his group would not be a problem.

"It's not only Hades that I worry about" Nyx replied as her body trembled slightly.

Gilgamesh's eyes narrowed at that.

"Who?"

"The master of the Walburga Witch, the same man who attacked you and manipulated the holder of the Sacred Sword Caliburn" replied Nyx making eyes at the King of Heroes.
