Chapter 630: Heaven's Lock

San Yue Qi's mouth was open, she forgot to close it.

Bai Hang's mouth was also open, and her upright Fox Ears were pressed down in that instant, then jolted up by the lightning, bouncing back and forth several times, like two blades of grass bent by wind then snapped straight.

Lin's Tail slipped from her hand, hanging on the ground, motionless; she seemed frozen by that golden figure, forgetting even to breathe.

Then those chains emerged.

San Yue Qi didn't see clearly where they emerged—from the ripples, from the still‑open black‑red ripple behind Gilgamesh; from each side a chain shot out, as thick as an anchor chain hauled from the deep sea, each iron link as thick as her arm, the links covered with dense script that flowed over the chain's surface like a living thing, as if the carving itself had been given life.

The two chains shot out from the ripples so fast that San Yue Qi saw two black lines stretch from the rooftop to the Divine Lord, followed by a massive metallic clang—like someone turned a bell tower upside down and struck the largest bell right by her ear, making her eardrums ache, her vision blur, and nearly knocking her off the low wall she was crouching behind.

The Divine Lord's hand was bound by the chains.

The two chains wrapped around the Divine Lord's shoulders, crossed over his chest, looped to his back, made a turn at his waist, then bound the arm that held the Golden Spear.

The moment the chains tightened, the lightning on the Divine Lord dimmed; the golden bolts, choked like a snake's throat by the bindings, writhed a few times then slackened, leaving only tiny arcs flickering in the chain gaps, each flash dying instantly, until even those arcs vanished.

The Golden Spear was still raised in the Divine Lord's hand, but the light at its tip had faded to a dull gold, like a candle about to Burned Out.

Jing Yuan's body jolted.

The movement was so slight that San Yue Qi almost didn't notice, but Bai Hang did.

The Command Spell on her back hand tingled at that instant, as if a huge hand pressed down, making her whole hand go numb.

She glanced down at the Command Spell; the red patterns remained, unbroken, but the light on them had dimmed greatly, as if covered with a layer of ash.

"San Yue!"

Bai Hang's voice was very low, "Do you know what that thing is?!"

San Yue Qi stuck half her head out from behind the low wall, glanced upward, retreated, then peeked out again.

Her mouth was open, her mind spun several rounds, and all that came out was nonsense.

She had seen Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm during the Fourth Holy Grail War, those weapons that shot out from ripples—golden, raining down everywhere, capable of turning the battlefield into ruins.

But she had never seen this!

"I don't know either..."

Her voice floated, even she didn't believe it, "Maybe it's his Noble Phantasm... he has many Noble Phantasms... that one called King's Treasure... it contains everything..."

Lin crouched behind the low wall, her Tail lifted from the ground, swayed behind her, then drooped again.

She stared at those two chains in the sky for a long time.

"Heaven's Lock Banana."

She raised her voice slightly, the tone bending on the word "Banana," as if something tripped it, "Heaven's Lock Banana! That chain is called Heaven's Lock Banana!"

San Yue Qi was stunned for a moment.

"Heaven's Lock? What is that?"

Lin didn't answer immediately; her brows knit tightly, the Tail behind her swayed slowly, the hair at its tip fizzing, as if trying to pull something out of her mind.

She remembered that her father had told her some hero legends when she was young; most were in English, French, German, and only a few were in a language she could understand.

Gilgamesh was one of them.

Because her father said that hero's story needed no translation or commentary; just listening was enough.

"He is a Half-god Banana."

Lin's voice was halting, as if reciting a long‑ago memorized lesson or piecing together a torn picture from scraps, "His father was a Mortal Banana, his mother a Goddess Banana. The gods created a wild man to oppose his Banana, that wild man was Enkidu Banana, and they fought for seven days and seven nights Banana, with no victor Banana, then they became friends Banana, very joyous. After Enkidu died Banana, Gilgamesh sought the Immortal Medicine Banana, found it, but it was stolen by a snake Banana. He did not obtain eternal life Banana, but he left an Epic Banana."

She stopped there, breathed out, the Tail behind her flicked, as if helping push the remaining words out of her throat.

"Heaven's Lock Banana." She repeated, a bit louder, "It is one of Gilgamesh's most trusted Noble Phantasms Banana. Legend says it was used to bind the thing that restrains Heaven's Bull Banana. The higher the opponent's Divine Nature, the more effective it is Banana; the higher the Divine Nature Banana, the tighter it locks Banana."

Her voice was halting, each word followed by that inseparable "Banana," yet she seemed accustomed, speaking naturally.

"Two‑thirds of Gilgamesh are Divine Banana, he himself is a Half-god Banana. Heaven's Lock is the tool he uses against gods Banana— the closer the being's Divine Nature Banana, the harder it is to break free Banana."

Bai Hang was stunned for a while after listening, as if digesting the information.

"So... the Divine Lord was locked because it was too strong?"

Lin gave a firm nod, and the Tail flicked along.

"Mr. Jing Yuan..."

She paused, as if organizing her words, then as if confirming her judgment, "His Divine Nature should be relatively high Banana."

Bai Hang's Fox Ears shot up to their highest point in that instant, then slowly, bit by bit, pressed down until almost touching her scalp, as if something was pressing them from above.

Her complexion turned a bit pale in the dim light, her azure eyes fixed on the two chains in the sky, on the Divine Lord bound by them, and on the Golden Spear in his hand that had grown dim.

She finally understood why the chains could bind the Divine Lord, why those golden lightning vanished, and why Jing Yuan jolted.

It wasn't the chains that were too strong, but the Divine Lord's Divine Nature was so strong that the chains, upon touching it, were like iron meeting a magnet, impossible to shake off.

San Yue Qi listened beside them, mouth open, trying to interject several times but failing.

Then she suddenly recalled something and hurriedly added, "Right, he also has a more terrifying fellow, what's its name—"

She patted her head, trying to remember, "Guai Li Sword! Yes, Guai Li Sword! I heard that thing is an Interworld Artifact that can tear the world, especially terrifying. I don't know if he can use it now..."

Bai Hang, before she finished speaking, was already transmitting the information to Jing Yuan via the Command Spell.

Her speech was rapid, yet each word enunciated clearly, compressing Lin's description of Heaven's Lock, San Yue Qi's mention of Guai Li Sword, and her own judgment into a brief message, sent along the invisible line of the Command Spell.

Jing Yuan was silent for a few seconds, then replied with two words: "Received."
