Gilgamesh is slightly outdated. Clearly he is not as worshipped or remembered as he would liker to be.
Gilgamesh: “Hercules was my friend, but battled each other too”
Alex: “Oh, so which of the twelve tasks were you? Never heard of you.”
Oh! Gilgamesh! Good luck with that whole Agatha thing.
As funny as this page is, my first reaction was “Alex, FOCUS. It’s good to know who you are fighting lest you get blindsided, but Batman you are not, so get to stabbing!”
I have to disagree. Alex is doing a great job here stalling. Gilgamesh is so busy posturing and boasting that he’s not fighting and he’s not paying any attention to what the others are doing. Alex in his fleshy human body with no armor stands almost no chance in a physical fight here. Remember the way he batted away Nick like he was a pesky fly? If Alex were to force the physical conflict right now, he’d be made into whipped dream.
Alex: “I have no clue what you’re talking about, but if you stop hurting my brother, i’m willing to learn”
Gil “That sounds fair”
Shortly after, they’re both sitting on the ground, Gil: “…and Noah and his sons did start rebuilding everything on earth, and repopulating, but it was I who started building….”
Alex “Woah, you have to repeat that part of Noah, the whole earth was covered in water?!”
When Alex’s ignorance turns into an excellent accidental psychological warfare tactic… 🙂 “Sorry, Gil, but I’ve never heard of you. Are you sure you were important? Because I may have slept through a lot of history classes, but I feel like I’d recognize a weird name like yours.”
I don’t think he knows Gil is very old, his brother searched the internet, but he didn’t, so he’ll probably think he’s an strange old man living somewhere on earth
If that’s what he’s actually consciously doing, great. Hopefully he knows some more experienced fighters are about to break free of Abbadon and surprise Gil. But if he’s just being dumb, well he’s just riling up a giant, giving him more reason to kill all the meatbags and relying on luck to finish things up.
Alex just needs to get one good hit to the gut and get out of the way. Neither are wearing armor. Gil has the advantage of height and strength, but Alex has the advantage of 3 feet of sharp steel and he has had some experience using it, at least his dream self does. Hope some of it carries over to his physical self. Perhaps it does, because he seems to at least be able to wield the sword.
Hmmm *pulls out phone* “Siri, look up Gilgamesh”
I’m sorry, no signal found
“Siri, search Gilgamesh”
I’m sorry, no signal found
“Siri…” *pockets phone, draws sword* “You know what, screw it… I got nothing…” *attacks*
The best part is that Gilgamesh was attempting psychological warfare against Alex by intimidating him by how great he is, and instead he loses round one because Alex not having a clue is devastating to Gil’s ego.
History has all but forgotten you. Your “accomplishments” and “legacies” faded into dust. Sucks knowing that when you die, nobody will care, doesn’t it?
No comment is about right.
*phonebot voice* “The knowledge you are looking for does not reside in this brain. Please hang up.”
Now, that’s the correct reaction. To put Gil off balance.
BTW I bet he didn’t build the wall. It was build by slaves and hard workers…
Cracking up
“Listen, if you weren’t on Dancing with the Stars at least once….”

Alex should have said “Why aren’t you a blond bishie?”
(Fate Stay Night Reference, but Alex doesn’t look like an anime fan)
Is Alex contemplating all of this?
if you read the Bartimaeus series you’ll know exactly who built it 😉

And then….and then…NO MORE AND THEN!
“Ah wait, one of the guys you could summon in Final Fantasy, right?”
He does not sound happy that someone does not know who he is.
Gilgamesh and Enkidu at Uruk.

Meanwhile, Dan is safe again 😛
I can hear Dan rolling his eyes, even from all this distance…
Alex could not be more perfect for this fight. He’s pretty much like, “yeah, you talk too much. I think I’ll just kill you.”

LMAO! Definite upvote! Haha!

“What sort of king doesn’t even wear pants?”

One who was alive before pants were invented?

that is definitely a 404 File Not Found look XD
more like a 501, i think.
In my heart I’m really hoping his response is something like, “Uh, well isn’t that nice for you. Congratulations, I guess?”
It’s not tactics when it’s genuine. Unless Dan PLANNED it, knowing well how ignorant his brother is …

Nicodemus: *Frustrated* GOOGLE IT!!!
“Need a little help here, dude. Twitter handle? Facebook?
LinkedIn??? Seriously, dude? More like 4chan, amirite?”
And Mexico paid for it? 😛
love that blank look!

When you are totally full of it, you need to meet someone totally void of it.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha! * Whoop?! ‘tumble, rumble, CRASH, oop… rustle…
Sorry… fell out of my chair laughing at Alex’s blank look.
Alex doesn’t even realize he’s about to get ol’ Gil monologuing! Go, Alex! Go!

Ah, sounds pretty typical for the U.S. education system (and yes, I am a citizen :p)
Picard and Dathon at El-Adrel.
Talking about leaving a footprint…
He’s probably wishing he was still talking to Dan…
Yeah, I also thought this was a case of “HI, I’m a distraction!”. Well, at least now his bro is being choked in ONE world only.

Should’ve went with Nightmare King
