Gilgamesh in DxD - Chapter 120
🕑 Added 2021-11-07 06:40:02 +0000 UTCInside the battlefield was totally immersed in ice, every tree, every water, every tiny bit of land was frozen to the point that not even sound could be heard, even the atmosphere was frozen to the point that it was breaking through the barrier created by the [Rating Game].
The only things that weren't frozen were Gilgamesh, the one who conjured this technique, and Riser and Ravel Phenex, although they were only free because Gilgamesh allowed it.
Sirzechs had asked for unshakable power and so Gilgamesh decided to show him, and it was also a good way to test his technique.
Absolute Zero.
The name already says well what the technique is.
Something far beyond freezing, a world that reaches the absolute zero of strong climatic events where Gilgamesh can deny everything, even space-time.
A technique created by Gilgamesh based on Longinus' Balance Breaker [Absolute Demise]: Assoluto Argento Mondo that has the ability to create a strong snowstorm capable of swallowing an entire country.
It is also based on Serafall's signature technique [Celsius Cross Trigger].
A technique created by Gilgamesh mixing his [Ice Devil Slayer Magic] along with his Longinus [Zenith Tempest] along with the Mana Zone.
It was something far beyond freezing everything coming back, after all Gilgamesh could easily freeze entire countries easily, it was a world created from Absolute Zero.
Of course it is impossible to reach Absolute Zero, his Longinus [Zenith Tempest] is said to be capable of reaching that level, however Gilgamesh did not master it to that level.
The [Ice Devil Slayer Magic] is also capable of reaching that level, however only in Devil Force.
His Absolute Zero is a technique that mixes others.
First your [Ice Devil Slayer Magic] is used to use Glaciate.
Glaciate is a powerful supplemental passive ability of [Ice Devil Slayer Magic] and perhaps its greatest asset - effectively, it allows the user of [Ice Devil Slayer Magic] to turn anything they come into contact with into ice and then use that ice in any way they see fit, as long as the object of choice they touch is capable of turning into ice. Glaciate can be turned on and off according to the user's will, which means it fares a little better than most "Elemental Conversion Affinity" type abilities.
When inducing Glaciate, as the [Ice Devil Slayer Magic] is constantly generating tiny amounts of semi-solid ice with every breath it takes, when the user comes into contact with anything that can be turned into ice, the temperature of the object it touches has its temperature immediately reduced to its freezing point, effectively causing a sheen of ice to glide over its very existence, from which the user is able to modify it in any way they see fit, it is not only solids that can be frozen, but Glaciate is able to freeze air itself.
This freezing effect is capable of extending for several miles, and anything the resulting ice comes into contact with is also subjected to the effect of the Glaciate itself.
Using the Glaciate, Gilgamesh puts everything into a frozen paradise, after this Gilgamesh uses his Mana Zone to gain control of all the magical power of the entire range of the technique, soon after this he manipulates all the magical power within his range to create weather disasters which Gilgamesh manipulates with his Longinus [Zenith Tempest] in addition to manipulating every heat source, this is something beyond freezing as he manipulates every piece of ice in his range.
Using all this Gilgamesh reaches Absolute Zero.
In fact, although theoretically impossible to achieve naturally, the dream of reaching absolute zero is able to become a reality through the application of the fighting spirit or by the Enchantment In conjunction with ice-derived spells, allowing the user's willpower to break the limits of the temperatures that ice generated by a supernatural force can reach, bringing this miraculous power to the mortal plane. Once the user's ice reaches absolute zero, at such extreme temperatures, events that do not normally occur in nature begin to happen, such as ruptures on the atomic level as everything frozen by absolute zero shatters with the slightest breeze flowing towards it and superconductivity; it is well known that when under the effects of absolute zero, the world is enveloped in silence as all material things stop moving, all placed in absolute stillness.
In addition Gilgamesh is able to use an ability called Hishoku or Ice Erosion, with the ice he manifests inducing the breaking of anything he comes in contact with in a manner not unlike Crash, itself a power that gives the user the ability to break everything they come in contact with into countless pieces through a pressurization of magical energies.
This, with some help from Gilgamesh's magical energies, causes anything his ice-created attacks come in contact with to have their atomic structure lose its flexibility, resulting in the target shattering where they stand, granting each of Gilgamesh's blows possessing a certain transcendent priority, exhibiting the ability to transcend the normal area of effect of close combat attacks, since his [Ice Devil Slayer] magic cannot collide with, block, cancel, or be canceled by other attacks, even other priority-oriented attacks of a similar nature.
When Absolute Zero is invoked, it results in completely impossible to block blows that are certain death in the first place, with the only way to escape its properties of a death blow being to evade.
This was Gilgamesh's Absolute Zero, a world of ice where he could kill gods.
An ability that could be called all-powerful.
Although such power it had several weaknesses and limitations.
The first was that Gilgamesh could not maintain it for very long, because even for him it was difficult to control all this power and the range.
But beings from the Top 10 would be able to fight against Gilgamesh in this world because the power would be able to neutralize a little the effects of the technique, the only ones that Gilgamesh knew he couldn't win with this technique alone would be Great Red, Ophis, Trihexa, Shiva, Indra and beings from the Celestial Dragon Class.
Apart from these beings no one would be able to defeat Gilgamesh in this world, a world where Gilgamesh could defeat entire armies.
This was Absolute Zero.
Gilgamesh walked across the battlefield towards Riser without making a sound as he let out his breath in the form of mist, he was only able to survive the effects of Absolute Zero due to his [Ice Devil Slayer Magic].
Gilgamesh frowned as he saw that his technique was destroying the barrier of the [Rating Game], Gilgamesh knew that this could occur, he must finish this as soon as possible.
Gilgamesh looked at Riser who was still releasing his magic power and flames, that's because Gilgamesh allowed Riser to release his power, Gilgamesh could just freeze him.
Riser although he was afraid of the power released he was angrier.
How could a human have more power than him? Unacceptable!
Something in Riser seemed to snap and he began to attack with a fierce scream. He rained down attacks on Gilgamesh from above as if it were judgment day. Great waves of fire were conjured as if they were hot air. Dozens of fire spears were launched at the same time and fireballs, hot enough to melt rocks, flew through the sky.
Gilgamesh simply looked at the flames that stopped in mid-air.
A zoneless sphere of energy came and seemed to protect Gilgamesh. The flames hanging in the air seemed to have stopped, as space-time itself prohibited further movement.
In a single instant all the magic power unleashed by Riser was frozen in the air.
They were all immersed in blocks of ice while standing still in the air, a single glance from Gilgamesh was enough to make them break.
Gilgamesh began to approach Riser and the ice got stronger and stronger with each step.
Riser stopped when he could no longer muster his power and an unbearable pain surged through his body, with each step Gilgamesh took getting bigger and bigger.
Gilgamesh's very presence was freezing Riser with every step he took.

I will publish another chapter later.

You know I don’t want to say this. I know that you have created more following chapters but lately the recent chapters are basically just telling the readers about the technique that Gil and his team use. Like in this chapter 80% are basically a detail of his absolute zero. Knowing about the technique is fine but this is probably too much. No reader want to learn about a skill or technique in this very detail. At least for me, I want to see the progress of the plot more than the detail of his skill. The fight with Riser could end more faster by skipping the detail of his technique with just a brief paragraph on what it is.
