Gilgamesh in DxD - Chapter 300

[The “Hero’s Egg” Skill was acquired]

Gilgamesh could only blink in surprise at what had appeared in front of him, first for the skill he had gained and mostly because he had never heard of a skill with that name.

“What is that?” he asked curiously.

[The “Hero’s Egg” is the skill needed to awaken as a “True Hero”]

Gilgamesh’s eyes blinked in surprise and not understanding what was going on, especially about the “True Hero” part.

He was a hero, the King of Heroes.

“What is the difference between me and a real hero?” asked Gilgamesh sarcastically.

[“Hero” or more specifically, “True Hero” is one of the last forms of existence in the world, it is also known as Title which can also be considered a kind of race.

Heroes are the humans or the humanity/good aligned equivalent of the Demon Lord. They are the opposites of the same coin.

Also, unlike Demon Lords, heroes are always human, which means that they are a specific human existence. But since the human race as a whole is weak, they tend to proclaim certain individuals as heroes, even if they are not one, as long as they have a huge record of being undefeated in battle and a good reputation in helping humanity. These individuals would be similar to self-proclaimed Demon Lords, but in this case it would be something like a “Hero proclaimed by society”.

Thus, according to the Voice of the World, the title of Hero always refers to the True Hero and not the Hero proclaimed by society, since the True Hero is the existence recognized by the World Systems themselves. The only reason the prefix term “True” exists is to create a distinction between the two.

In order to Evolve into a True Hero: a human being needs to obtain Hero Egg and willpower, to break the shell of the Hero Egg]

Gilgamesh quietly watched as he analyzed everything and understood.

A “True Hero” was a title and a race, something different from Gilgamesh himself who would be considered a “Proclaimed Hero by Society”.

This also had nothing to do with strength and power, it was just that Gilgamesh did not have the lineage of a “True Hero”, so he was not considered one.

Of the same strength as the current Maous, he would be “Self-Proclaimed Demon Lords” since they did not evolve from the “Demon” race to “Demon Lord”.

Gilgamesh could tell that the System was drawing on the Tensei Shitara Slime universe for this.

He actually wasn’t too surprised, Sebas himself, someone who knew the System deeply, had told Gilgamesh that the Goddesses had relied heavily on “Tensei Shitara Slime” to create the System.

And he also knew that the highest level skills were the “Ultimate Skill” of the Slime universe.

The Ultimate Skill or Ultimate/Supreme Skills, as the name implies, give the user the ultimate power to control the very laws of nature. The only way to neutralize an Ultimate Skill is with another Ultimate Skill. That is the absolute and inflexible rule of the world.

Possessing an Ultimate Skill indicated that the user completely understood the laws of the world. Therefore they became superior existences in the use of magic.

So the King of Heroes couldn’t be more excited.

“How do I become a True Hero?” asked Gilgamesh.

[The process of evolving Heroes is very similar to Demon Lords, except for a few requirements. After the requirements are met, the Human will undergo a compositional change and become the True Hero. Naturally, an Ultimate Skill can also be acquired.

Requirements:

To become a Hero, a Human generally needs to have a disinterested and caring person, even if they have a specific goal in mind that they are running after you. If so, as long as the person is strong enough and has done many acts of good, out of the goodness of their heart on behalf of humanity, then they have earned the Hero Egg

The Hero’s Egg is an ability that is also not a skill. It has no purpose other than to awaken its bearer into a Hero once the conditions have been met. It does not give additional skills or techniques. The person who has the Hero Egg can also be called the Egg of a Hero, since he is a future Hero.

Then, the only remaining step would be to “hatch” the egg. Although it seems simple, it is actually a more difficult task than the Demon Lord’s ‘collection of 10,000 souls’, since the Hero’s Egg only seems to hatch by the strong willpower and conviction of the bearer. The person needs to really know right from wrong and believe that what they are doing is a righteous act, and also be willing to face death for that conviction.

Once the egg hatches, the person becomes recognized as a True Hero. In other words, this means that the world recognized the person’s noble deeds, despite facing the danger they had, and so they evolved.

After the hatching, the new Hero’s body is rebuilt and their lifespan increased, although it is not known whether they become immortal like Demon Lords (since they become half-spiritual beings) or it is simply too high. The latter is more likely, since the next stage of the Hero, the Demi God is spiritual existence]

After analyzing everything, Gilgamesh sighed.

“So for that I must have an unshakable willpower, huh” said Gilgamesh smiling.

[Warning: The Evolution to “True Hero” is available]

Sekiryuutei’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Really?” asked Gilgamesh in surprise.

[Yes, the individual Gilgamesh meets all the requirements to become a “True Hero”]

[Do you wish to start the evolution?]

[Yes] [No]

Without a second thought Gilgamesh accepted his evolution.

[Evolution to “True Hero” will begin] [Yes] [No

Before Gilgamesh could say anything an immense fatigue washed over his body.

“What the…” muttered the King of Heroes weakly.

He had never felt so tired before, even all the battles he had were nothing compared to this.

Even moving a part of his body was becoming an impossible task.

All Gilgamesh could do was create a barrier to prevent his energy from leaking out as he fell asleep.

[Report: After meeting the requirements the individual Gilgamesh will evolve into “True Hero”]

[Confirmed]

[Successful “Demigod” race ascension process]

[All physical attributes have been improved immensely]

[Subsequently all abilities and resistances possessed before ascension will be re-acquired…]

[Successful]

[Acquisition of new intrinsic abilities: “Infinite Regeneration”, “Universal Sense”, “Hero Haki”]

[Acquisition of new resistances: “Nullification of Physical Attacks”, “Nullification of Natural Elements”, “Resistance to Spirit Attacks”, “Resistance to Sacred-Demon attacks”]

[Evolution adds new abilities: “Clairvoyance (Future Prediction)”, “Usurper”, “Infinite Prison”, “Degenerator”, “Wrath”, “Time”]

[Successfully Acquired]

[Evolution is complete]

After the evolution was complete what would be expected was for Gilgamesh to be able to wake up.

But this did not occur.

After spending so many years with his master, the System, an emotionless being that had only been created to help Gilgamesh became attached to him, and so in order to continue to serve the King of Heroes, he sought to evolve.

[Warning: Additional Evolution Requested]

[The Unique Power; “System” seeks evolution]

[Failed]

[Trying Again…]

[Warning: The Unique Power; “System” will use the “Rinnegan” ability as a sacrifice to evolve]

[Success]

[The Unique Power; “System” evolved into the Ultimate Skill “King of Wisdom Raphael”]

After making millions of combinations, it finally paid off. Evolution granted him a gift.

The ability to develop skills. For what is known in this world as Ultimate Skill is something almost impossible to happen.

After several failures, the results finally appear.

It was something that a skill wanted to fulfill the master’s request without realizing it, but because of the concept, I felt no pleasure.

I felt sympathy, somehow.

But it would be feeling sympathy and not emotion …

With the new found skill, it works according to its master’s request.

But to do that … maybe …

Once again, his evolution continues.

[Disclaimer: Due to the evolution of “System” for the Supreme Skill “King of Wisdom Raphael” a chain reaction has been activated]

Overcoming the almost impossible odds of his evolution generated a series of chain reactions, a series of miracles.

In the deepest abyss of his soul, beyond the perception of Gilgamesh’s grasp.

To ensure his master’s desire to become stronger, by Raphael’s command the abilities were optimized.
