[Gilgamesh was already irritable from being yanked here and being forced to wait until he'd calmed down enough not to quite literally flip tables -- and wardrobes, and other heavy objects -- once he was finally released. Him? The King of All, pulled here by some trifling godling without even properly greeting him and according him the necessary respect? But the piece de resistance was, without a doubt, the fact that he could no longer open the Gate to access his rightful Treasury. The King of Heroes was feeling downright murderous. He doesn't so much as even acknowledge that there's anyone else out there in lieu of threatening the gods who brought them all there.]

Gods... [he smirks slightly and chuckles, but then he's back to simmering anger] Don't make me laugh. Any so-called god who would request an audience with the King, yet fails to so much as appear, is merely another cur to be properly disciplined.

I assure you that your punishment will be sufficiently agonising, mongrel, if my Treasury is not restored to me and I am not returned. Do not waste my time with offers of compensation; there is no treasure you could possibly offer in exchange for the one I was about to claim.

Aren't kings usually lower than gods? [mfw this is pretty much the worst thing to say to him ever WELP...]

[gate_of_babylon]

[Another soft, devilish chuckle. He's mercurial, yep]

Under normal circumstances... those who dare call themselves kings are mere pretenders to the throne. They could not hope to stand at the shoulders of gods.

The King, however, is another matter entirely.

[ryougi]

And why's that?

[gate_of_babylon]

Because there is none greater than the King.

[Power level arguments, what are those?]

[ryougi]

... yeah, I'm not really following. [Shiki just accept that this guy is as arrogant as they come STOP TRYING TO FIND A REAL REASON.]

[gate_of_babylon]

I am in a generous mood now, so I will be gracious and give you a hint.

Who is it who suffered all and overcame all?

[ryougi]

... was it that Jesus guy?

[Dramatic sigh]

I suppose it was inevitable to come across a stupid one, eventually.

[ryougi]

Haven't you heard? You run into all sorts of people in life.

[gate_of_babylon]

Certainly, the grand majority in the current era have been stupid, among other things. But I must admit the mongrels I had encountered here at least proved to be of passable intelligence.

[ryougi]

Guess that's better than nothing.

[Tapping his chin thoughtfully]

The circumstances aside, there are many more amusements here than previously.

[And by "amusements" he means "people to troll"]

[ryougi]

Ah, really? Seems pretty boring here to me so far.
