[Eriri Spencer Sawamura: What does that mean? Did Gilgamesh guess that Elysia is a transmigrator?]
[Fallen Black Cat: Saying someone isn't human right to their face... that's exactly what I'd expect from the chunni king.]
[Conan Edogawa: But he doesn't seem to be wrong. Elysia really doesn't look like a human.]
[L: What kind of power does Elysia possess that even a king as proud as him is wary of it?]
As the exchange between the King of Heroes and Elysia unfolded, the viewers in the comment section began to speculate wildly. After all, Elysia's presence had been relatively low-key from the very beginning. As a transmigrator, she had even less screen time than Diarmuid, who had fought King Arthur earlier.
When it came to Elysia, everyone was completely stumped. At least with Servants, once their True Name was known, one could learn about their personality and weaknesses from their legends and history.
But from the start, besides being a lesbian, overly enthusiastic, and possibly not human, there was nothing else particularly noteworthy about Elysia.
All sorts of theories were flying around in the comment section, but most of them were skeptical of Elysia. Possessing immense and mysterious power, pink hair, a fiery passion, and treating everyone with kindness... Such a character was the perfect setup for being "sweet on the outside, black on the inside."
Under normal circumstances, such characters are often revealed as late-game villains. Although she was the protagonist of the viewing, no one ever said the protagonist couldn't be a villain.
In the Sea of Quanta, upon seeing the groundless speculation and even some malicious comments, Kevin wanted to explain things for Elysia. But after some thought, he remained silent, choosing to ignore those remarks.
Sweet on the outside, black on the inside... Elysia... In a way, that was true. She had indeed deceived all of them, and she had indeed hidden everything about herself. But... she would never be a villain.
If the person in the video was truly the Elysia he knew, then he believed Elysia would prove herself through her actions.

In the projection, upon hearing Gilgamesh say she wasn't human, Elysia froze for a moment. In a certain sense, she was indeed not purely human.
By the same token, she was not a so-called Phantasmal Species either. In that world ravaged by the Honkai, people were more inclined to use the term "Herrscher" to describe a being like her. However... although Elysia knew her identity as a Herrscher, compared to being a powerful Herrscher, she much preferred the identity of a human.
Therefore, she grew to dislike this shimmering, golden, ancient bully who said she wasn't human even more. Wasn't calling her "not human" just an indirect way of insulting her?
And so, Elysia's eyes narrowed slightly. She gave Gilgamesh a harmless smile and said, "The famous throne of the King of Heroes is now being used as a weapon in someone else's hands~"
"What?" Gilgamesh didn't react for a second. He had wanted to see what kind of emotional fluctuation Elysia would show after his statement, but he hadn't expected her to say something like this.
This King's throne? Although the King of Heroes' treasury did contain countless thrones, he had never brought them out. This method of changing the subject was far too childish...
Just as Gilgamesh was about to scoff, he inadvertently glanced at the lamppost wielded by the rampaging Berserker and finally understood Elysia's meaning. "To compare this King's throne to such an unseemly object... Elysia! How dare you treat the King's grace with such contempt—"
After deciphering Elysia's intent, the King of Heroes' cold expression was once again set ablaze with fury. In a single night, this king had been provoked again and again, and both times it was because of the woman before him. He originally thought she was different from those mongrels who coveted his treasures, but now it seemed a person who repeatedly challenged the dignity of a king had no need to continue existing.
At this moment, Gilgamesh's killing intent was stirred. It wasn't born from resentment towards Elysia for being provoked so many times in one night, but rather from a mysterious sense of disgust. He wasn't disgusted by Elysia herself, but by the power she carried. As he had said before, if that power were to be unleashed, the current world, where the Age of Gods has faded, would be utterly powerless to resist it...
Legend says that Gilgamesh was the most ancient king, two-thirds god and one-third human. He possessed god-like wisdom and strength. And as the King of Uruk, regardless of the era, Gilgamesh deeply loved his people. This held true even now, as he appeared in the guise of a tyrant.
It was precisely because of this that his Servant parameter sheet displayed the alignment: Chaotic Good. Though his current demeanor seemed to have no connection to the word 'Good' whatsoever.
He claimed he would eliminate Elysia because of her provocation, but in reality, this king's true motive was to prevent the power within her body from being unleashed upon the world.

[Eriri Spencer Sawamura: I think my eyes are deceiving me. This projection just said Gilgamesh is 'Good'.]
[Yukino Yukinoshita: If Gilgamesh is 'Good', then wouldn't King Arthur be a saint?]
[King of Heroes: Ignorant projection. How could a mere light screen possibly fathom the thoughts and considerations of a King?]
[Schicksal Overseer: I knew I wasn't mistaken. It seems Elysia's true identity is about to be revealed.]
[L: Oh? Have you already figured out the answer? Although the light screen connects to a multiverse, the world I reside in is but an ordinary one. From my limited perspective, it is truly difficult to imagine what Elysia's true identity might be.]
[Light Yagami: Indeed. Those of us from ordinary worlds cannot comprehend those from higher-level worlds. Could you perhaps explain to us what this power within Elysia, which the projection keeps mentioning, truly is?]
In the shadows, Light Yagami, who had just obtained the Death Note, was filled with ambition to become the God of a new world. Perhaps because of this miraculous light screen, he had no doubt about the notebook in his hands or the self-proclaimed demon standing before him.
If other worlds possessed supernatural abilities, how could his world be the peaceful place that ordinary people perceived it to be?
Like many others in the comment section, he was extremely curious about Elysia's true identity. The projection's deliberate concealment and occasional hints had long since piqued the curiosity of intelligent people like him. He was certain that, by the end of this viewing, Elysia would stun everyone.
