Chapter 58: A Mortal Wound!! Uruk is still alive and well!
🕑 Added 2025-03-14 03:01:02 +0000 UTC【 Gilgamesh spoke as if realizing something! Looking up at the sky, He saw Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash appear above the red ocean, flying toward Uruk aboard Quetzalcoatlus.
"Are you okay?"
"King Gilgamesh!" Before the Quetzalcoatlus even landed, Fujimaru Ritsuka jumped down and shouted anxiously toward the distant figure!
"You’ve returned!" Gilgamesh turned his head to look at both of them, then turned back to gaze at Uruk again! He spoke calmly:
"Look, the entire overview of Uruk!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash stared into the distance. The once grand and magnificent Uruk was now engulfed in flames, and black and red mud seas were flowing in through gaps in the city walls!
“This is yet another step closer to disappearing from the face of the Earth! The end of the world!” Gilgamesh declared solemnly.
Then, the scene shifts to the city of Uruk. Thick smoke filled the air everywhere. The once radiant city could only be described as desolate. There was no sign of life left in this great city.
The entire city was flooded with black and red mud. Soldiers lay lifeless on the ground, and countless monsters roamed around!
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, who had witnessed the prosperity of Uruk, looked at the scene before them in shock. Cold sweat broke out on their faces...
This is the end of the world! It’s the end of civilization. Gilgamesh is the only one left in Uruk! 】
.....
~Projection of All Worlds~
“Is this the end of the world?”
Someone whispered hoarsely.
The question hung in the air, whispered hoarsely by someone in the crowd. It was a question no one wanted to answer, but the scene before them left little room for hope.
Uruk, once a thriving city of life and prosperity, now lay in ruins. The streets were empty, the buildings crumbling, and the sky darkened by the looming shadow of Tiamat. It was as if the world itself had been drained of color, leaving only desolation in its wake.
"Uruk, once a prosperous city, has become the background for the end of the world!"
Others marveled at Gilgamesh’s resolve.
"The era has ended, and there is only one person left in the world!"
"Now there is only Gilgamesh left. Can he really delay the opening of the gates to the underworld?"
When Fujimaru and the others returned, they found Uruk devoid of life. Tiamat approached relentlessly, and time was running out.
"But now, Tiamat is approaching, and time is running out...!"
Everyone outside the video was stunned by this apocalyptic scene. Is this the end of the world? And can they successfully buy more time? Everyone is eagerly awaiting it.

"Even in the face of annihilation, he doesn’t falter."
Yuji Itadori’s voice was filled with respect. He had faced his own share of impossible odds, but nothing compared to what Gilgamesh was up against.
【 She’s here! Our mother has appeared!" Gilgamesh crossed his arms and looked at the figure appearing before him, startling the two people who were still in shock!
As Gilgamesh watched, the huge Tiamat had arrived outside the walls of Uruk, and countless Lahmu were moving toward Uruk like dark clouds!
"Open your eyes and observe carefully!"
Gilgamesh showed no fear in this situation. He calmly looked ahead and extended his right hand. With a flash of golden light, a stone book appeared in his hand!
“Next, let Tiamat witness the last courage of Uruk!”
Gilgamesh stares at Tiamat with steady eyes. The stone book opened, and golden runes began spinning within it! A golden magic circle beneath his feet suddenly revealed itself—
"Buzz——!"
The seal of divine authority on the walls of Uruk glowed red!
Dr. Roman, upon detecting this scene, couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise: "There are no Lapiz Lazuli stones! Not a single soldier left!
"The Seal of Sacred Power has been activated!"
The seals of sacred power on the city walls, resembling cannons, slowly rose, and golden magical energy continued to gather at the tips!
"Who am I? The 360 Sacred Seals are set up in Uruk! I built it myself! I personally supplied it with magical power and coordinated it all by myself!"
As Gilgamesh proudly declared this, countless golden magical bullets were fired from the Sacred Seals! -
"Bang, bang, bang——!"
Countless cannons rained down on Tiamat like meteors, successfully slowing down the advance of Tiamat!
The immense magical power caused Gilgamesh to break out in a cold sweat, but he gritted his teeth and stared forward.
“As long as you drive this body with the determination to die, I can operate it together!” he growled fiercely.
"I will complete my mission of pinning Tiamat here perfectly!"
"Aaah——" Tiamat, attacked by countless cannons, couldn’t help but let out a strange cry—
"Amazing!" Fujimaru Ritsuka beside him watched everything in front of him in shock. 】

"That’s right! You can all enjoy witnessing the glory of this king!"
Gilgamesh’s laughter echoed through the room, rich and unrestrained, as he watched his own performance in the video.
His golden eyes gleamed with pride, his arms crossed over his chest as if daring anyone to challenge his magnificence.
"......!!"
Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou both acknowledged that this king was indeed the same person!
Impossible, absolutely impossible! Both of them seemed to have their worldviews shattered.
~Type-Moon World in the Fourth Holy Grail War worldline~
"This is it! The King of Heroes?!"
Irisviel’s voice was filled with awe as she watched the screen, her crimson eyes wide with disbelief.
Even though he’s alone, he fights to the very end without fear. This is completely different from the Gilgamesh standing before him.
【 Fujimaru Ritsuka was suddenly startled, turned his head, and shouted to Ereshkigal underground: "Ereshkigal, how’s the preparation for the underworld going?"
Ereshkigal looked up with cold sweat on her face and quickly replied: "Just a little more! Please wait a bit longer!"
Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned. A bad feeling immediately arose, and he looked toward the distant Tiamat!
Amidst the dense cannon fire, the mouth of Tiamat opened slightly, revealing her sharp teeth, but the light continued to gather!
Gilgamesh’s eyes turned orange, and he activated his special intuition to see the future—
A purple light was emitted from afar, and Fujimaru Ritsuka could only stare wide-eyed, unable to react at all!
Just as he thought he was about to die, he saw Gilgamesh, who predicted the attack. Without hesitation, he pushed Fujimaru aside and took the hit himself—
As blood flowed to the ground, Fujimaru Ritsuka, with blood still on his face, stared blankly at Gilgamesh in front of him. His voice trembled:
"King Gilgamesh…!"
Gilgamesh, whose heart had been stabbed and wounded, looked at the blood on his hand and said indifferently:
“You actually played sniping! How hateful. Your aim was excellent! Damn it, Tiamat, you’re truly capable!”
Gilgamesh finishes speaking and walks away again.
Mash, who stood nearby, found it hard to accept this and tearfully said:
"King Gilgamesh! It’s my fault for not being able to protect Master..."
Gilgamesh interrupted him before he could finish, saying nonchalantly:
"Don’t worry about it! It’s just a fatal injury... as long as you’re okay!" 】
.....
~Projection of All Worlds~
"What a fatal injury!... And this is what it means to be a king? I really like it! A truly handsome king! If I ever meet him, I’ll definitely dedicate everything to him!"
Others marveled at Gilgamesh’s influence.
The words were spoken with a mix of awe and admiration, the speaker clearly captivated by Gilgamesh’s heroic actions. The sight of the King of Heroes standing tall despite his injuries, his resolve unshaken, left a lasting impression on everyone who watched.
"No wonder the mere 500 people left in Uruk have no fear of death!"
"No wonder the previous soldiers of Uruk were willing to sacrifice their lives!"
~Type-Moon World in the Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
"Is that really you!?"
The King of Conquerors, Iskandar, looked at the arrogant Gilgamesh before him, his brow furrowed in confusion. The man in the video—heroic, selfless, and brave—was a far cry from the Gilgamesh he knew.
The magnificent king in the video— what a brave man! He sacrificed his life to block the attack of someone not from this era!
Why does the person before me only show arrogance? Their personalities are so completely different!
"Who else can it be except me?"
Gilgamesh sneered, his golden eyes glinting with pride. He understood that after experiencing the death of his best friend and searching for the elixir of immortality, his personality had changed completely.
But that didn’t stop him from being proud of himself in the video. The wine in his hand tasted better, and he took a full gulp.
Artoria, the King of Knights, stood silently nearby, her expression unreadable. Her piercing green eyes were fixed on the projection, her mind racing with thoughts.
"That version of Gilgamesh... he acted selflessly, putting the lives of others above his own,"
She murmured, her voice soft but firm.
"It seems even the King of Heroes is capable of change."
The King of Conquerors, Iskandar, turned to her, his boisterous laughter filling the room.
"What do you think, Saber? Isn’t it fascinating to see such a stark contrast between the Gilgamesh we know and the one in that screen?"
Artoria’s gaze remained steady, her tone measured.
"A king’s duty is to protect their people, no matter the cost. The Gilgamesh in the video understood that. He embodied the true essence of kingship—sacrifice and responsibility."
Gilgamesh, overhearing her words, let out a derisive snort.
"Spare me your sanctimonious drivel, King of Knights. A king is the law, the absolute authority. My actions are beyond your comprehension."
Artoria’s eyes narrowed, but she did not rise to his bait. Instead, she turned back to the projection, her voice carrying a quiet resolve.
"Perhaps. But even you cannot deny the impact of your actions in that world. You saved a life, not for glory or pride, but because it was the right thing to do. That is the mark of a true king."

~Chaldea~
"It’s my fault for not being prepared... I couldn’t protect Senpai!"
Mash clenched her fists tightly, guilt weighing heavily on her heart. If I had been in the video, I could have raised the shield, perhaps I could have prevented this attack...
But she resolved firmly:
"But it hasn’t happened yet... I won’t let the same situation occur again! I will definitely protect Senpai!"
~Akame Ga Kill World~
Tatsumi stared at the screen, his fists clenched tightly at his sides.
The image of Gilgamesh—standing tall despite his fatal injury, protecting Fujimaru Ritsuka without hesitation—burned itself into his mind.
"It would be great if he were our king..."
Tatsumi murmured, his voice tinged with both longing and bitterness.
The memory of his two fallen friends, Ieyasu and Sayo, flashed before his eyes.
Their deaths had been the catalyst for his journey, a grim reminder of the corruption and cruelty that plagued the Millennium Empire.
The rulers of this world cared nothing for their people, only for their own power and greed.
But Gilgamesh... the Gilgamesh in the projection was different.
He was arrogant, yes, but he had also proven himself willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of others. He was a king who inspired loyalty, not fear.
"Maybe... if we had a king like him, there wouldn’t be a need for a revolutionary army,"
Tatsumi said quietly, his gaze fixed on the screen.
Beside him, Akame tilted her head, her crimson eyes thoughtful.
"A king who fights for his people, even at the cost of his own life... It’s hard to imagine such a ruler in this world."
Leone, leaning against a wall, crossed her arms and smirked.
"Well, if that guy ever showed up here, I’d gladly follow him. At least he’s got style—and the guts to back it up."
Tatsumi nodded slowly, a spark of hope igniting in his chest. The Millennium Empire was a rotten system, but seeing Gilgamesh’s actions made him wonder if true change was possible.
If a king like that could exist, then maybe—just maybe—there was a future worth fighting for.
【 Gilgamesh walked away, turning his back to the two. With a wave of his right hand, the glowing golden stone book appeared in his hand again—
"Move! King's Signal Cannon!"
(Melammu Dingir)
The Sacred Seal, which had originally stopped attacking, gathered light again and attacked Tiamat!
Mash, who stood nearby, couldn’t help but cry out upon seeing this and shouted anxiously to Gilgamesh: "Please stop! No matter what your body has..."
"Are you trying to say it’s impossible?"
The cannons in the sky kept firing, and Gilgamesh, with cold sweat on his face, looked at the figure of Tiamat before him without turning his head! There was anger in his tone: "Do you think I’ve reached my limit yet?"
"Do you think Uruk can no longer fight?"
As he spoke, the cannon fire didn’t stop. Gilgamesh, with blood flowing from his mouth, shouted loudly: "Do you think the same? Fujimaru Ritsuka!"
Looking at Uruk, which had no vitality, there were only a few of them left in the whole city. With tears in his eyes, Fujimaru Ritsuka supported his body.
"No!"
Looking at Gilgamesh’s back! He clenched his fist over his chest and spoke in a firm tone:
"Uruk is still alive here!" 】
