Chapter 421: [419] Different Level
"Laeding?"
When the chains appeared, Koyomi Shizuka's first reaction was to glance at Nangou Natsuki.
But seeing the same shock reflected in Natsuki's expression, Koyomi Shizuka dismissed her initial suspicion.
It wasn't an unreasonable assumption. The Laeding were divine artifacts, forged by the gods themselves. Their binding power was unparalleled—most demonic beings, once ensnared, found escape utterly impossible.
And across the entire world, the only person known to wield these chains was Nangou Natsuki.
"Hey, where did you get those Laeding?" Natsuki asked, her voice sharp with confusion.
August smiled faintly at her question, his expression calm yet brimming with confidence.
"My treasury contains every treasure in existence, past or present. The Laeding are naturally among them."
"You bastard! Are you seriously showing off right now?" Natsuki snapped, irritation flashing across her face.
August simply chuckled, declining to offer further explanation. The Gate of Babylon didn't require elaboration—its magnificence spoke for itself.
In that moment, August finally understood the pleasure Gilgamesh must have felt. To possess the sum total of human history's treasures, every relic of wisdom and ingenuity, was a triumph beyond comprehension.
