-Before-

Gilgamesh frowns as he walks beside Adonai, his golden armor shining bright as the sun beam down on the two traveling men.

"Why are we here old man?" The Blonde King rarely left Heaven since his death, he could count on one hand the number of times he has walked the earth. The first was when he checked on Aya a year after his death to make sure she had received the treasures he had left her which she did and that was the last time he bothered the woman definitely when he noticed the woman was somehow spiritually aware of his presence, She looked directly at him as he was masquerading as a plebian and began to approach him. He darted off as soon as the woman narrowed her eyes on him, and he changed into multiple people to follow her that day and somehow always knew when he was looking at her. He had to admit it was pretty creepy and of course, he told Adonai about it and the man eyes twinkle in amusement.

The second time was after Aya death and he approached her daughter Aela offering his condolences, he didn't even try to hide his presence though he knew to wear his armor would have a dead give away so he has forgone that attire all together and went in casual clothes and handed her personally a sack of gold. She was the eldest of Aya children and he didn't trust the father very much but then he doesn't trust anyone easily, He also had to admit Aela definitely had her mother genes but after the ceremony, he didn't stick around long and went back to Heaven.

Adonai told him that Aya lineage will live for a long time and most of them will have pretty good lives. He trusted in Adonai sight and made sure that was the last time, he checked on the woman lineage.

"I am meeting one of my children."The blonde King raised a brow at the man. He wasn't aware of the man having an angel living on earth and why the hell are they traveling through a military camp. The Knights and men at arms stood assuming the two finely dressed men were nobles doing an inspection of the camp.

"Milords." The peasants greeted them as they pass through towards the biggest tent in the camp. Adonai smiles as two heavily armored men stood outside the tent "Tell your leader that Adonai wishes to speak."

Gilgamesh crosses his arms in annoyance as a man went inside, He didn't like waiting on others it was something that he was unfamiliar with, even after spending much time in Heaven he still was accustom to being the man in charge even though now, it still was Adonai.

"Who we're meeting was my second option if you had refused." The twinkle in Adonai's eyes shined brightly as the knight exited and pull the flaps aside for the two of them to enter.

Gilgamesh smirks, He wonders what kind of second rate ruler would have been enough to replace him as he enters the tent only for his smirk to drop into a frown.

The second rate ruler is a damn angel, that was the only explanation he had for the long blonde hair woman standing at a war table. The woman's hair was braided neatly down her back and she wore a revealing skin-tight shirt that had the sleeves removed for maneuverability, a short skirt, and a silver sword is attached to her waist but small silver cross dangle around her neck. The woman's armor was thrown at the foot of the table and her bright blue round eyes look at him in curiosity. The angel peers at Adonai before bowing "Forgive me, father, I wasn't expecting you." The woman's voice was sweet and titillating to his ears and Gilgamesh couldn't help but glare at Adonai who held a wry smirk on his face.

'Forgive me father for I may sin.' He thought to himself before his lips grew into a charming smile "And who might you be?"He asks, the interest in his voice not veiled in the slightest.

Adonai chuckles "This is Jeanne D'arc, One of my most devout followers." Adonai looks over the woman and the affection and respect he had for the woman shown through his very eyes, piquing Gilgamesh's interest even more. God smiles sadly as the woman pours three cups of wine "My child here has set herself on a path that will surely end in a gruesome death soon." The woman didn't even flinch at his words "I have given her orders and she will complete them without fail to result in her being burn at a pyre."

Gilgamesh's eyes widen and his respect for the woman has greatly increased in that instant, Very few people see death and walk towards it. He himself spent time trying to beat it and he's a demi-god. The King of Heroes eyes narrow as he lifted the cup to his lips, he wanted her, that kind of faith and loyalty is rare, to die for someone or something that you believe is the ultimate sacrifice when a man or woman willingly give up what they know (Life) for the unknown (death) is quite a labor to bear by oneself "this war?" He asks.

"Must be done." Adonai Continues on "But for the matter that I've brought you here." Adonai looks between the two "I wanted the two of you to meet." He smiles grandfatherly as he stood between the two of them "She will be rewarded for her sacrifice and be gifted with a position by your side. I care not which place she takes but as long as she is part of your court. I will recreate her myself as I intend to do the same as I did with you onto her."

"what of your Seraph's?" Gilgamesh remembers the reception that he had received from the other angels and knows the same may happen to her.

The man took a seat and Gilgamesh frowns at the sight before him, when Adonai first came upon him in Uruk the man looked healthy and strong in his white robes, The Holy Aura the man exuded was overwhelming. He noticed a long time ago that Aura was beginning to wane. Gilgamesh had the feeling that the man was indeed dying and his final quest will push him over the edge. He only wishes the man would ask him for his help with this quest of his. He turns away slightly annoyed at the man and he met blue orbs, the two blondes at that moment share the same thoughts "When I die many of my children will fall, scared of the unknown you bring and seeking sanctuary within the ranks of Azazel."The god wet his lips with the wine "They will only damn themselves in the end."A frost crosses the man's eyes as Gilgamesh took in his words "Azazel is gifted yes but he is no true leader, many follow power but do not know power doesn't equal leadership."He waves his hand acrosses Jeanne's field map" To sacrifice hundreds for thousands, to deny yourself of want to satisfy everyone else, to stay faithful when everyone is calling you a sinner."He looks at Jeanne with that last sentence" my child couldn't even let go of his jealousy." Adonai frowns "Gilgamesh do not kill him unless you have to, take it as a request from a caring father for his wayward son."

Gilgamesh closes his eyes and he knew he wasn't a man to hesitate when it comes to culling a problem but just this once " Don't make it a habit of asking me things like this old man if he crosses me I will punish him…but I'll try and leave him in one piece." His face contorted in a grimace as if the words were a bad taste in his mouth.

The woman seated quietly across from the king couldn't help but giggle at his response, amusement dance in her bright eyes "Did that physically hurt you?" She couldn't help but laugh harder as his glare fix on her.

"Hush mongrel." He orders petulantly and she looks at him in surprise at the insult only to smirk ignoring it altogether, She was a simple farm girl and had to endure much worse insults than being called a mongrel and she notices from the way it flows off his tongue like it was second nature told her that it wasn't personal just a reaction and attempt to get her to break her cool. The glare he had fixed on her died down and he chuckles in amusement, realizing the woman wouldn't rise to his bait

Jeanne D'arc silently appraised the man, She had met with God a few times first when he set her upon this path and few times after when she really needed someone to talk but this was the first time he brought anyone with him. The man had perfect posture, He sat tall and proud with his perfect features and entrancing ruby eyes and the very second he stepped into her tent she could see that he was no ordinary man or angel, his aura screamed obey "Yes your grace." She taunted him.

Gilgamesh huffs in annoyance not wanting to admit, he enjoys those words leaving her lips.

Adonai's eyes brighten in amusement at the two blondes 'Such youth.' He chuckles already knowing how this is going to play out.

-Now-

Jeanne D'arc silently prayed in front of the wooden cross in the little run-down church "I was wondering when you would need me." The blonde battle maiden slowly stood as golden particles slowly form the sight of her King and friend "Gilgamesh." She greets the Ruler of Heaven warmly, She knew exactly who the man was unlike the angels of heaven who were vastly ignorant of human affairs until said king started repopulating the pearly city with the Souls of the fortunate.

She turns fully and lets a small smile grace her lips as the man floated above the floor refusing to touch the dust that litter the place "If I would have known you would make an appearance I would have clean the place first." She chuckles at the man aversion to grime.

He chuckles sardonically "Oh you would do that for me, Jean?"

The battle maiden walks towards him before taking a seat on a semi-clean bench "Anything for you, Your Grace."The words came out drily but she meant every single one.

His ruby gaze studies the woman and notices she wore a blue cloak over steel fitted armor that hugged her large chest and stopped at the top of her thighs underneath were black fitted shorts. The woman's legs were covered by blue thigh-length stockings and a large white cross was stitched into the cloak. He was glad she did away with that gaudy head plate it took away from the woman's beauty.

"I'm just merely checking on my favorite subject." He stated casually bringing a smile to her face as his roundabout way of showing affection. The man would never say anything remote to a compliment without having a sniping jab with it but if you understood the man well enough you learn what to take in and what to ignore.

Jeanne stretches out unknowingly drawing the man's attention to her large chest "When will you put down the sword and become one my brides Jean?" his words were lace in amusement but she had a feeling the man meant every word and she couldn't help but chuckle at his forwardness. She had come to learn that the man's morals were crafted on a gray tablet and he followed his own set of ambiguous rules, He was a complex individual that walks a fine line between the dark and light.

She had no doubt that to the denizens of heaven that this man was a hero, a role model, someone to strive and be like but to his enemies that he's the wrath of God himself which recently from what she been hearing is actually pretty accurate. She gave a coy smile before rubbing her hands across her sword "When you no longer need my sword, your grace." Then her smile shifted "Besides I vowed to love no one but the Lord himself…so I guess we're already married."

Gilgamesh snorted in amusement "You know I don't like the title Adonai left me." He rolled his eyes, the man still held disdain for gods "What are your plans?"

His friend frowns "I been hearing some disturbing rumors involving the church trying to turn kids into wielders of the Excalibur fragments." She notices his raise brow before chuckling "Not yours, the fake." He hmm in thought at the answer.

He watches as the woman stands and dust herself off, she turns to him and smiles "I should be off I have a long way to travel." He silently appraised the woman etching her face into his perfect memory.

"If you ever need me."The Gates of Babylon open beside him and a sword slowly slid out "Just pray." The gate closed as the woman nods thankfully and left the church.

Gilgamesh was very protective of that woman, the hardest thing he ever had to do was watch the beautiful woman burn at the pyre and she refused to stop praying even as her skin slowly burned away. He floated above her as support as the blonde prayed over and over again until life finally left her and he carried her soul to Adonai and not once did she look to him for help. She had accepted what was going to happen but he did not.

24 hours later, He turned that city to dust

He knew it wasn't the right thing to do, but he needed gratification and watching those smug bastards run away in terror as he rains steel down upon them did more than satisfied him, no one break his things and got away from it. Gilgamesh slowly opens his eyes removing himself from that memory.

"She's pretty." A deep voice stated casually and Gilgamesh fixed the intruder with a narrow glare, as he assessed the man that he hasn't seen in a long time.

"A cur like you shouldn't even be able to breathe the same air as her." The coldness in Gilgamesh shows the individual how much he didn't like him "Azazel."

The fallen angel stares back in amusements etched onto his lips but none of it met his eyes, his jet black wings displayed proudly on his back and he was clothed casually in a maroon long coat and pair of grey slacks "Why the cold reception brother?"

Gilgamesh eyes ran over Azazel and he sniffs in disgust "I see your fashion sense hasn't gotten better but I didn't expect much from a traitorous rat."

Azazel sneers " that's rich coming from Father's pet project, he was a fool for wasting so much time on you."

Gilgamesh continues to stare at Azazel, the only angel he truly couldn't stand "if it weren't for that so call fool, your entrails would be decorating this church." Gilgamesh calms himself "You let your lust and jealousy dictate your actions." A wry smirk crossed Gilgamesh's lips "Did you really think we didn't notice?" his eyes grew frosty and he wanted to hurt this man and since he couldn't do it physically "You wanted Gabriel, did you not?" He didn't wait for the angel to answer "Our beautiful and lovely Gabriel, she is quite the sight isn't she? You should know she is quite gorgeous when she lays in my bed with her legs in the air and that amazing smile she has when we're together." He smirks coldly knowing the man's perverted mind would finish for him even though that wasn't how it happened.

Azazel energy exploded and Gilgamesh wasted no time in shooting a regular steel sword from his gates impaling the man by his wing to the wall, The blonde King chuckles darkly " Don't tempt me Mongrel, I would hate to have to tell our beloved Gabriel that I have shredded you like swiss cheese." The King of Heroes turns away from the Fallen angel before disappearing in particles of gold.

"See you around Mongrel." Gilgamesh taunted one last time before returning to Heaven.

-Author Note-

You guys don't know how many times I redid this chapter lmao it had so many different openings but to clear a few things up. I'm changing the timeline think of it as alternate universe if you have too, The Great war ended 20 years before the start of canon (Highschool DxD) So Rias and company hasn't been born yet, The church is currently experimenting on children but it hasn't gone to the length as it has in the series yet.

Okay to answer a few questions and responding to the readers' time. I rather put author notes at the bottom so if you don't feel like reading this shit you won't have to scroll past willy nilly to get to the actual story rofl I know from experience, sometimes I am like fuck a long author note. When I'm reading a story.

VGBlackwing

To respond to your comment, writing Gilgamesh is difficult asf at least for me lol, I don't want to take him to much out of his character but at the same time, we all know he's a bit of a…dick, gotta make him somewhat likable for the ladies at least on the Fate/ Stay Night side of things. I mean The DxD women may go for the super perve shit but Gil to damn cool for that. So think of him as a mixture of the wise king from grand order and himself from Fate/Zero but for the rest of your comment (^_^) I plead the 5th.

Louis XII

I originally had an idea for a romance between the two but after a bit of thought, You guys are kinda right in that regard lmao Gilgamesh wouldn't give a crap about her so I'm modifying on that idea and using her as another way. I'll get around to untagging her soon so I won't give anyone the wrong impression.

Ghostly

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy it mate and to answer your question. 1. They'll be his peacekeeping force, Gilgamesh is too proud and arrogant to willingly have bodyguards but it will be times when they insist on it. 2: I have covered why he wouldn't create enkidu in the previous chapter lol.

Miki

Lmao yeah, he does have a thing for Arturia in canon but it's kinda difficult to write it in unless I play with her personality and she's like a favored character so one wrong move the hounds will swarm me lmao I'll explain the process on his creating the Heroic Spirits in the next chapter I supplemented her for Modred for now and leaving her involvement ambiguous.

Kevin J

Your cool man lol but nah Issei is going to have a part but he won't be getting a harem and the main focus will stay on Gilgamesh. I rarely jump around to different characters but I may have to every now and then to move somethings along. I won't treat this shit like game of thrones where it's a different character focus each chapter lmao

TrueVirt

Lmao I looked her up and yeah she is pretty hot (T_T)

Anti- Weeb

Lol I'm definitely working on that, I sent a few messages to different Betas (still learning how the Beta thing works on this tbh) but I would definitely appreciate the help if one of my readers sign up for the position I know I'm probably making everyone eyes bleed lmfao.

Gilgamesh is running Heaven, earth and now the underworld. He feels like all of that belongs to him despite what the devils may think (I specifically left that out when Adonai was telling Gilgamesh what was required of him.) Gilgamesh feels like any conflict within the underworld could spill over to earth. The angels are ignorant of Gilgamesh's lineage since many of them stay away from mankind and don't know the history of Uruk and he doesn't feel the need to enlighten them.
