[ Another video transmission starts. This time, you'll find Gilgamesh in all of his glory chillaxing on one of his gaudy looking couches, sipping the red wine he loves so much. You may notice he seems more interested in it than what he's actually talking about. ]

It's come to my attention that some of you mongrels are uneducated about who or what Gods are.

You see, in ancient times, the Gods existed as a means to explain why seemingly random things happened in the world. Floods, drought, blizzards, all sorts of works of nature were believed to be the work of various Gods. Everybody civilization dreamt up different sets of Gods to explain things they simply could not. That's pretty much all they were, originally. And then those poor mongrels thought, maybe if we offered things to them, they'll bless us instead of cursing us. Thus, the worship of the Gods began. The earliest kings were even considers Gods due to how much good they did for their people.

The truth is they are all pretty much worthless and you should discredit them all. Especially those that are still worshipped in this age. I've done my fair share of research, and the Gods are now being abused as means for the various governments of the world to rule over the easily influenced sheep of the world. It's sad, really. To think humanity has fallen so low.

[ After a bit of a pause, he sets the finished glass of wine down and actually turns to address his audience. ]

Ah, but I probably gave the impression that Gods never existed, didn't I? That's not entirely true. I'm living proof that at some point, they did live. I suppose if you want to worship a God, I would be the best choice. I'll happily accept any offerings you wish to pile at my feet. I am, after all, the greatest Hero and King to have ever existed. And I am obviously a better choice than these so called "Goddesses", since I'm real and can actually give you kingly advice. You would be stupid to not choose me over them. Of course, you're free to do whatever you wish. I will not be the one to force your hand. I trust you'll do what is right in the end, won't you?

[ And he'll end the video with one of his charasmatic smiles, as if he's actually trying to sell himself. ]

But Gilgamesh, it would be strange to worship you since we know each other so well, wouldn't it?

[Video]

[king_of_heroes]

...Good point.

[Video]

[unknownrival]

...Can I ask an unrelated question now that you're available?

[Video]

[king_of_heroes]

I suppose.

[Video]

[crownedexorcist]

And what if someone have no reason to worship you? They went on with their life?

Re: [Video]

[king_of_heroes]

I never said anybody HAD to worship me. I'm merely providing an alternative to this supposed trio the rulers of Prospero are trying to introduce.

[It takes Lion a while to figure out how to work this blasted futuristic technology and everything, but eventually he manages a reply.]

Umm...I'm afraid I don't quite know what you're talking about, and it might be a bit bold of me to say this, but...isn't it a little brazen to claim yourself a god to be worshipped?

Video

[king_of_heroes]

Not at all. Even if I'm technically stripped of my divine blood here, that doesn't change the fact that I am the son of the Goddess Ninsun and the holy Lugalbanda.

[golden_witch]

Really?

You're really trying to make this about you?

Really?

[king_of_heroes]

I'm only trying to help the poor misguided sheep.

[Video]

[soulsborderline]

I feel sick for actually agreeing with you for the first minute and a half there.

[Video]

[king_of_heroes]

Oh, of course. You do seem like the type that would only worship yourself. That's fine, too. So long as you don't give any credit to these false goddesses.

[... You know. As a newcomer, he had been suspecting he didn't know much of what was going on. But this sort of post, with information he did not know and someone claiming to be better than a goddess?]

[Well, he can't resist talking to him, now can he?]

The first part of your message is very true - and where I'm from, the part about the government using religion to control people is also happening.

But who are you to demand worship?

[Video]

[king_of_heroes]

I don't remember demanding anything. Only providing people with a reasonable choice.

[scorpiospider]

What kind of advice, "how to be a redblood douche in three easy steps"?

[video] 1/2

[king_of_heroes]

Please. It would take more than three steps to make any mongrels as douche--

[video] 2/2

[king_of_heroes]

T'ch. It takes one to know one, doesn't it?

[needsteaplz]

[She sighs. With that news cast, she was trying to stay out things because religion was something she wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. However since Gilly boy decided to open his mouth again, she had to speak up.]

Honestly, if you hadn't gone on any further, I would've said you actually said something pretty good.

While it maybe true people have done some incredibly atrocious acts both past and present, and try to justify it with their religious beliefs, it shouldn't paint the religion as a whole in a dark manner.

And...I'm not even going to comment on that last part.

[video]

[king_of_heroes]

I've seen enough, both in my years as king and as servant to know how corrupt religion and the Gods themselves can be. Are you honestly trying to tell me that somewhere in that confusing mess is some actual good?

That's ridiculous

[rocker]

[ woooow Gil this entire feed is right in the heart, man. ]

I see you still follow your false beliefs. [ actually a bit more frowny than his usual pokerface.. ]

[ video ]

[king_of_heroes]

[ Sorry, bro. ]

I believe this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black, is it not?

[Audio]

[maguskiller]

Don't need to be a god to be a false figure of worship.

[Kiritsugu's not religious in the least, but to hear criticism directed at gods, when heroes of the past caused just as much damage to societies in his mind, does strike him as hypocritical.]

[Audio]

[king_of_heroes]

And how does one become a false figure of worship, exactly?

[ Well, it's certain that if one person could entirely kill his mood, it would be a certain magus killer. Still, this could prove to be an interesting conversation for him. He did always have a thing for getting into other's thought processes. ]

[breatheinthefog]

Pointless.

[king_of_heroes]

Yes, humanity is mostly pointless, isn't it?

[video]

[devola]

You were pretty close to saying something kinda profound, y'know.

Though, I guess from a certain perspective, if you wanted that last bit to be humorous it would make the first part a fantastic setup for the punchline.

[video]

[king_of_heroes]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

video/actionish since she's chilling at home n-e-ways;

[ex_cashcow493]

Give me three reasons why I should not strike you down for your blasphemy, Gilgamesh.

actideo then. or something. idk meds make words funny.

[king_of_heroes]

[ Wow, why so hostile, Seiba? The funny thing is that he doesn't even seem the least bit concerned over her threat. Hell, he's probably smiling even more now. Just how much of a masochist is he? ]

And what exactly would you gain by striking me down, Arturia? A brief moment of satisfaction? I fail to see how that would do anything to remove the guilt you obviously feel over the truth I've spoken.

Why no Blondie, you're not in the slightest bit annoying! And you're so very modest too!
