Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 255

So Gilgamesh summoned the first weapon that came to mind capable of rivaling the Mjolnir of Norse myth.

A spear. Its color is golden, its length is two meters. Few emerald green jewel ornaments of beauty adorning several of them part. The spear is so beautifully crafted that even the gods will approve and honor it for wielding such a masterpiece.

The moment Gilgamesh touched it he saw everything needed to wield this weapon, he saw the whole story of how it was wielded, all its skills and who wielded it.

A new rune formed on the shaft of the spear that Gilgamesh summoned.

'Eihwaz', pronounced with the meaning of an all-seeing eye.

The crows flying through the air suddenly began to caw.

Gilgamesh himself could feel a substantial difference in the spear he now wielded. What was originally nothing more than a prototype with great power, but now where its true power was unleashed seemed to have become a weapon of unimaginable destruction.

Thor and the spectators suddenly felt chills run down their backs.

They already had their suspicions about what kind of spear Gilgamesh had summoned, and now, they felt totally exposed when the tip of the spear was directed at them.

It seemed that no matter what kind of defense they put up or what strategy they employed, that spear would surely reach them.

It was an inherent fear born of recognition.

The flickering Nordic runes practically proved it.

"The Spear that always hits the target" Thor spoke earnestly, "The Norse spear that never misses atop the mythical stallion Sleipnir."

It was only a moment of Thor's distraction, but that alone was enough.

In a single instant Gilgamesh appeared in front of the son of Odin and swung the spear against his chest.

Like a snake crawling among the grass and swaying reeds, the silver blade struck from unknown angles.

The spear pierced with unerring precision. A weapon that took countless lives and was the trademark of the ancestor of all Norse gods.

"Gungnir, the Spear of Odin."

Blood gushed from Thor's face as a metal tip directly pierced his arm causing the God to scream in pain before moving as far away from Gilgamesh as possible and raining down his lightning bolts.

Yet no matter what lightning move Thor made, no matter what decision he made, it was as if he was being totally read.

He was an all-seeing eye.

It was said that, for the price of sight, Odin would set aside a single eye for wisdom.

It was not the strength that purely constituted a warrior, but the knowledge to see through even the deepest magic and deception.

A mystical eye.

Amidst the fury of battle, a faint silhouette could be seen causing terror in all; a reaper beyond reach whose means were akin to an old Norse saying.

'When the spear is thrust, it is sure to hit.'

Cracks in the armor, cracks wide and narrow, it was if Gilgamesh could see them all within his field of vision. More than that, it was as if he could see everything. The eyes of the ravens flying above or perched in the distant treetops glowed with traces of Divine Energy.

The legends tell of Odin's Watchers, that even if he sat on his throne in Asgard, he could see everything that happens in the world through the eyes of his family members.

This property was being displayed in its entirety by Gungnir in the hands of Gilgamesh.

Everyone who was watching the battle was increasingly perplexed by what was happening.

They had never seen Thor overcome like this, indeed Thor had much more raw power than Gilgamesh, yet none of Thor's blows had hit him yet.

Using his genius mind Gilgamesh would nullify any of Thor's attacks with his elements or his spear and then strike back with certainty.

"How...?" whispered Odin in doubt as he saw his spear in Gilgamesh's hand.

It was really his spear, it was really Gungnir, the aura was really from his mighty spear, though the shape was different and it emanated a power that Odin had never felt before, as if it was stronger than his.

"Gate of Babylon" spoke Enkidu naturally and Odin understood everything.

It was obvious that in the vault that held all the treasures of the world, his spear would be there.

But to be there was one thing, to know how to wield it so well was completely different.

But Odin with his great wisdom already knew.

This battle was already decided.

Thor fired as he gasped and blood leaked from his body, but Gilgamesh totally nullified them.

Now that Gilgamesh had the divine weapon in hand the whole battle had become more complicated.

Any elemental attack by Thor would be nullified by Gilgamesh's Avatars and the King of Heroes would use Gungnir to pierce Thor's skin.

The God of Thunder knew that to beat Gilgamesh he would have to use one of his most powerful blows.

Gilgamesh was forced to retreat as Thor's power exploded from his body that emanated much more power, like an immense storm.

All the possibilities of what Thor was going to do flashed through Gilgamesh's mind in an instant, until Gilgamesh saw the God of Thunder raise his hammer and concentrate all his power on him.

Gilgamesh at that instant understood what Thor wanted to do.

He was going to release had the power of Mjolnir, a release compared to a Noble Phantom.

"Come to me, lightning! Go mad and exceed the limits of nature!" chanted Thor as all the lightning converged within Mjolnir.

Gilgamesh knew that blow could decide the fight, Gilgamesh was immune to lightning, but not the burning that lightning could produce if released at high power.

Thor would not only electrocute him, but also incinerate him.

"Spear that pierces the World Tree, Yggdrasil! Give me the power to overcome my enemy!" said Gilgamesh as Gungnir glowed in gold as his power.

If Thor would release his true power Gilgamesh would also release the power of his weapon.

The dimension shook and seemed to collapse as the two released their power to the point that Sebas, Odin and Enkidu had to reinforce it.

Then the weapon releases began and the battle was over.

Smashing Hammer of the Thunder God.

All possible lightning and thunder focused on Mjolnir as Thor prepared to swing it.

Declaration of the Great God.

All the divine energy that Gilgamesh released converged within the tip of Gungnir as Gilgamesh's Avatars disappeared as he could not keep them.

Mjolnir.

And an immense lightning bolt fell upon the earth.

Gungnir.

And an immense bolt of divine energy advanced over the heavens.

Mjolnir's lightning crashed into Gungnir's energy generating an explosion so gigantic that everything was destroyed, the tsunami created by Leviathan was vaporized, all the clouds were separated and the earth, even those who were under the protection of the barrier felt the tremors as the dimension shook.

Dust separated from the earth that looked like nothing but ruins where nothing could live.

And the first to be revealed was Thor.
