Kaimu Kitagawa became the subordinate.
His realm level was also reduced to the lower level.
At the same time, Zhongli also accelerated his learning of the supernatural power of the Spiritual Field Furnace Heart.
In this way, it can bear even greater power from heaven and earth.
In addition, Zhongli also learned the ability to simulate all forms of supernatural powers.
Now that he has no shortage of spiritual resources, he will learn any supernatural abilities that the girls possess.
What's more, this time the supernatural power is quite overpowered.
Once everything is settled.
Another 13 portions of the Source of Spirituality have been consumed, leaving 27 portions.
It's time for afternoon club activities.
Zhongli took Kitagawa Kaimu to meet Busujima Saeko and the others.
After giving some guidance to the martial arts club members on their training, Tianyu Zhanzhan and the others prepared to return.
Before they could even leave the teaching building, Kaguya Shinomiya's anxious voice came from behind them.
"Lord Zhongli, something terrible has happened."
"The King of Heroes has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Zhongli stopped and looked back in confusion at Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka, who were jogging over.
……
P.S.: Writing this is a daily writer's block, it's driving this new author crazy! I only managed to write one chapter after a whole day of struggling. So sad...
Chapter 172 The King of Heroes' Banquet Begins, the First Clash at the Table.
A sprawling resort estate on the outskirts of Tokyo.
Zhong Li stepped out of the limousine that had picked him up, followed by Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka.
"This is the place where Gilgamesh hosted the banquet for me. Not bad at all."
I glanced at the Japanese-style buildings inside the manor and the surrounding pavilions and streams, along with the green lawn in the center.
It is so beautiful that it makes people feel relaxed and happy at first glance.
Zhongli still had the mood to appreciate the environment.
Kaguya Shinomiya, who had been very tense, relaxed a lot.
"Lord Zhongli, would you like to take a tour of the manor?"
Or should we just go inside and meet the hero/king?
Upon hearing this, Zhongli waved his hand.
"No need, let's go straight to see Gilgamesh."
As he spoke, he walked toward the courtyard in the center of the manor.
Seeing this, Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka followed and led the way.
Soon, Zhongli led them to the open space in the center of the courtyard.
In the center of the open space, Gilgamesh, dressed in casual motorcycle attire, sat on a luxurious sofa with his legs crossed, gently swirling a glass of red wine in his hand.
In front of him was a large white round table, and opposite him was a sofa.
Behind him stood a middle-aged bald man standing respectfully.
Several maids stood around him, ready to give orders at any time.
Gilgamesh, who was savoring red wine, smiled when he saw Zhongli arrive. He placed the wine on the table and spoke directly without getting up.
"Oh, my creator, you've finally arrived."
It's so easy to see you.
Zhongli was quite surprised to hear Gilgamesh call him the Creator.
Arrogant as Gilgamesh was, he called everyone a "chaotic fellow."
Zhongli was able to tell from the words that he was being treated as an equal.
He had originally thought that if Gilgamesh had bad breath, he would give him a Heavenly Hand Strength to make him speak obediently.
With that thought in mind, Zhongli slowly walked to the sofa opposite Gilgamesh and sat down, with Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka standing behind him.
Then Zhongli looked directly at the other person and chuckled.
"You surprised me quite a bit."
I thought you'd call me a monastic the moment we met.
Gilgamesh remained unperturbed by Zhongli's teasing, merely scoffing.
"Hmph, I will still give the respect due to the strong."
With that, Gilgamesh waved to the maids around him.
Soon the maids obeyed and brought out the prepared delicacies to the table one by one.
Half of the food dishes are Chinese cuisine, including Peking duck, sweet and sour pork ribs, chopped chili fish head, and Kung Pao chicken.
Gilgamesh clearly put a lot of thought into hosting this banquet.
This made Zhongli increasingly curious about what Gilgamesh was thinking at that moment.
Before long, the round table was filled with dishes.
But Zhongli glanced at the table and asked Gilgamesh curiously.
"Where's the wine?"
"With such a grand display, surely they don't even have any alcohol?"
"I ask you, how can ordinary wine be worthy of this banquet?"
With that, Gilgamesh snapped his fingers.
Two golden ripples appeared on the banquet table, releasing two golden wine glasses and two golden wine jugs adorned with gemstones.
"Come, taste the divine wine that I have treasured."
Even if you personally crafted this divine wine.
You've probably never tasted that exquisite, delicious aroma of wine before.
From his words, it was clear that the maids serving on either side of him had already received orders.
He carefully picked up the jewel-adorned wine jug and poured the pale gold wine inside into a golden wine glass.
In an instant, the aroma of the pale gold liquor filled the entire courtyard.
It made everyone present swallow hard.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh's lips curled up in a smug smile.
But seeing Zhongli's unmoved expression, he suppressed his smugness.
Gilgamesh originally thought that Zhongli would be tempted and reveal his ugly side.
He was obviously overthinking it.
A small cup of divine wine was not enough to make Zhongli lose his composure.
Actually, that's not the case; Zhongli is quite looking forward to the divine wine.
He simply had a strong resistance to the deliciousness of wine because he had only drunk the spirit wine brewed by the gourd of wine.
The maid filled the golden wine glasses with wine.
Zhongli reached out and picked it up, then addressed Gilgamesh.
"Indeed, although I described the divine wine as having the ultimate deliciousness."
But I still had some unrealistic expectations, and now I can watch it more often.
I wonder how it compares to my own Spirit Wine.
As he said this, he brought the wine glass to his face and took a small sip.
The rich aroma of the wine instantly fills the throat, initially like a cool mountain spring, but upon entering the stomach, it warms and expands.
The lingering aroma of wine on the tip of my tongue subtly urges me to have another glass.
After downing a glass of wine, Zhongli also showed a hint of intoxication.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh's suppressed smile resurfaced, and he felt a surge of triumph.
"How is it? Is it more delicious than the spirit wine you mentioned?"
Upon hearing this, Zhongli nodded and praised without hesitation.
"It's really delicious."
Its taste is absolutely superb, even surpassing the spirit wine I mentioned.
Hearing such praise, Gilgamesh was overjoyed, and his pride grew even stronger.
But Zhongli's next words made his face freeze.
After praising the divine wine, Zhongli gently shook his head.
"Unfortunately, the name of this divine wine is not commensurate with its reputation."
It has the flavor, but no special effects, just like ordinary wine.
Its value cannot compare to even a fraction of my divine wine.
Indeed, the taste of the divine wine brings out the full aroma of the wine to its fullest extent.
However, it had no miraculous effect whatsoever.
In this way, for ordinary people, the "divine wine" is more like an addictive substance.
Those who are not of strong will or extraordinary ability will be captivated by the aroma of this wine and become obsessed with it.
Unlike the spirit wine brewed by the Shuten-dōji gourd, which not only has an extremely intoxicating aroma but also a strange restorative and enhancing effect.
Although after drinking, you will want to drink more and more until you get completely drunk.
But after getting drunk, I felt completely refreshed and comfortable, without any trace of intoxication.
Only the aroma of wine can whet one's appetite.
The smug Gilgamesh heard that his treasured divine wine had been devalued to nothing.
His face was stiff, but a hint of rage was about to emerge.
After all, what he treasured was the finest wine in all of Mesopotamia.
It is a wine brewed by the gods, and one of his proudest collections.
But now it's being called ordinary wine, not even a fraction as good as the so-called divine wine.
How could Gilgamesh not be furious?
The maids around them, as well as Shinomiya Hikari, Shinomiya Kaguya, and Hayasaka Ai, felt their hearts pounding wildly, as if they were about to burst out of their chests, seeing Gilgamesh about to erupt in fury.
He cried out in his heart, "Hey, you two, don't fight! They're still here!"
Seeing Gilgamesh's unbearable reaction, Zhongli was speechless.
"I didn't mean to belittle you."
"Just taste my spirit wine for yourself and you'll see."
As he spoke, Zhongli took out the gourd of wine and, without worrying about it being snatched, tossed it directly to Gilgamesh.
When Gilgamesh saw the gourd being thrown at him, his face contorted with rage, he reached out and caught it.
"I want to see what's so magical about your spirit wine."
If you cannot satisfy me, even if you are someone I approve of, I will still take your head.
