...I am actually pretty certain that it is a quote of King David.
Or at least a cribbed version.
The Psalm I would think.
EDIT: It was bothering me. Bothering me a lot. Google-Fu to the rescue!
I was right. Although not word for word, the beginning and a bit are paraphrased from Psalm 19, and as such, was in fact David the Archer who is the Servant.
I figured as much since I don't recall Jeanne having any sins to repent of and the Knights of Camelot where not exactly the most reliant on The Biblical God thanks to Merlin and the Fae's constant help in their plights.
...that is kinda bullshit since he has a legit OHKO, if given the time to set up, as a Noble Phantasm. ESPECIALLY against those bigger than him... which all the Endbringers and Scion count as.

It would be cool
If he just empowers them
And let them shine at the endbringer battles
Gil is still part Gilgamesh so he shiuld only have to face the largest threats right
The endbringers are just not on his level
If those he empowered can't somehow finish them
Them comes Gil

As I entered the car and took a hold of the steering wheel I was faced with a Plethora of questions. Well, not a plethora but a lot.
"What happened out there?" Taylor asked.
"Well", I began grinning. "let's just say I made them understand their actions. Apparently, Emma had a mental illness which is why she was behaving the way she was."
Taylor looked at me unconvinced.
"Don't worry, I cured her of it. Sophia though is a sociopath through and through, so I'm not sure what effects my little 'talk' had on her.
Greg was strangely silent.
"I...see.." Taylor said awkwardly. No, I don't think she saw. I chuckled at that causing her face to redden from embarrassment.
"So you guys want to go anywhere?" I asked as I started the engine and slowly drove out of Winslow and on to the Main road.
"Greg anywhere I can drop you off?"
Apparently, Greg was a car fanatic as well and was trying to figure out which one this was.
When he couldn't identify which on this was he immediately came out of his silent daze and started pouring forth questions upon questions.
The company, the year it was made in, every little question his little mind could think of.
It was nice to see there was someone who was curious about technology as I was. I just didn't show it much, and so I began answering his questions. One by one it was clear that this world has stagnated a lot. Most Likely from the end bringers. There was not a single supercar or anything even remotely close to a supercar in existence yet. Oh, supercars did exist. Just that most of them came from ToyBox and Tinkers.
"WAIT, SIXTEEN Cylinders!" Greg gasped his eyes wide.
"Yes."
"How?" He asked.
"What?" Taylor has joined the conversation. Even the girl who was no interest in Auto-motives realized it was simply ridiculous.
"By putting together two V-8's?" I tossed a guess and shrugged.
"But then the Engine must be HUGE!" He exclaimed opening his arms wide.
"It kind of has to be if it cranks out a 1001 Horsepower."
Taylor was silent.
Greg was silent.
and I was driving leisurely, grinning all the while.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" Greg sceamed. Ah, there was the reaction I was looking for.
"Yeeees?" I said unable to wipe the stupid grin off my face.
I arrived at one of the Endbringer Shelters owned by Fortress Construction. This one wasn't completed. But the fact that it was an Enbringer shelter made it the perfect hideout.
Parking the Veryon and switching it off I got out, briefcase in hand only to be greeted by Tattletale in a Coil costume... Looks like she took over his stuff.
I could tell she was grinning, and smug.
"Welcome back Otouto." Oh, that cheeky little brat. This was for the last time... Right well Jokes can wait after the situation with Noelle was resolved.
"I take it the travellers are here?"
"Yep," Her voice turned serious."I think you need to see her though, I've never seen anything like it. My power is not telling me much either." She rubbed her head clearly frustrated. Not surprising, Most shards are restricted so that people don't find out the truth about Zion.
She turned to me. "You know something. You know what is the cause of Noelle's problem?"
I nodded and lifted the briefcase slightly.
She glanced at it. "So you already have a cure?"
"Yes."
"Good, this way." I followed her into a secret entrance in the back. She placed her palm against the wall and a keypad popped out. She typed in a number that I was sure was larger than 20 digits before it released a beep and a hidden door opened.
I was led through the high tech base through twists and turns until she opened a door to a fairly Large and well-furnished room. Complete with a T.V. Sofa, an Air Conditioner, potted plants and even a large fridge and a vending machine.
Within the room were three people.
A girl in a wheelchair. Who looked as ordinary as she could be with a mop of auburn hair. Also the only one in the room without a mask, other than myself that was.
Next to her was a girl in a suit of black body armour emblazoned with red suns. I assume she was Sundancer.
Then there was a boy who sat his right leg on top of his left, laid back on the Sofa, consuming a cigarette, wearing a black costume with a red mask and a top hat.
Next to him was another boy, wearing a square mask and bulky, angular black armour, with hard-edged pads and pockets.
"Boss", the boy with the Tophat began turning to Lisa. "You've got a Job for us?"
"No, not now, however, I believe the deal was to get some help for your girlfriend? Well, this man has a cure." Tattletale said gesturing to me.
I stepped forward and lifted the Black Briefcase facing them and opened it showing the contents within, a Glass vial filled with glowing red liquid. "Indeed, this is the cure. All she has to do is drink it. Be careful not to waste it. This is a treasure worth Millions." All the members of the Travelers within the room got a bit closer to take a look at the Vial and trickster stood up walking towards me, disbelief and uncertainty etched on his face.
"Will this Really work?"
"Trickster, if it doesn't work I'll eat my own costume." Tattletale finished. Where did she get that kind of confidence from? or perhaps she found out something? It wouldn't be surprising considering her power.
The now named Trickster nodded then turned to me his eyes narrowed.
"Aren't you that new Independent that popped up, Gilgamesh right?" Trickster asked suspiciously. "Why would you help us? What do you get out of this?"
"Trickster," Sundancer whispered trying to stop him.
"It's fine, I would be more worried about him if he wasn't suspicious. As for what I get? I want you to stop being Villains in exchange." I stated my wish.
He turned to Tattletale who nodded in confirmation.
"is that all?" he questioned again turning to stare at the vial.
"Yes."
He took the vial and looked still having doubts "This will really cure Noelle?"
"Yes, there's no doubt about it." After all, it was a potion I created, the Liquid inside was a Power in Liquid form, created using Power Manipulation. A simple power.
Replace the old power and bring her to her peak health while curing any mental illnesses. If Noelle was given this not only would she be 'cured' but she would be as healthy as she could be for the rest of her life.
"Wait here. Sundancer keeps an eye on him. If this doesn't work..." he left the threat unfinished not caring of whether his 'Boss' that was Tattletale in Coil's costume was there or not. "Ballistic, Sundancer! Keep an eye on him, I'm going down to the Vault, to see Oliver and Noelle. and see if this works." He finished exiting the room.
"Sorry about him, he's stressed," Sundancer said apologetically.
"It's fine I get it," I say waving it off. "So where are you guys, from?"
She tensed a bit before answering. "Madison."
"Really? Not Earth Aleph?" Tattletale questioned and raised an Eyebrow.
"How-" her neck turned to her so fast I wouldn't be surprised if it had snapped.
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone." she raised her hands in a placating motion.
After a minute of silence, she let out a breath. "What do you want?"
"What if you can all go home?"
"What?" It was clear that was not what she was expecting. She most likely was expecting some kind of blackmail.
"He can send you all back to Earth Aleph if you want to, just say the word," Tattletale said. "His powers are absolute Bullshit."
She stayed silent for a moment. "Bullshit?" She asked tilting her head in confusion.
Wait, what?
"Yeah." Tattletale placed a hand on the temple of her head and began rubbing it as if she had Migraine. "His power is Absolute bullshit. Power Limiter Removal removes the Limits of any parahuman he wants," Tattletale lifted her hand into a fist and opened her index finger. "Dragon grade Tinker tech created by his power, he doesn't have to spend a minute tinkering, his power does the tinkering for him and stores it in a pocket dimension which he can pull out of his ass." her middle finger joined the index finger, "He is a brute near Alexandria's Level," the ring finger joined. "He can open portals to other worlds which he can use to open a portal to Aleph and any other earth." her pinkie joined the other three fingers. "AND he could probably pull even more powers out from his ass!" She threw her hands out in the air in exasperation."
I sweated at that. How powerful is her thinker power? No. It's not if I was actually trying to hide my powers in the first place so it makes sense.
"Ridiculous." The girl in the wheelchair said in disbelief.
"I know! Thank you, Genesis!" Tattletale said sighing.
"Well, at least he's nice?" The boy with the bulky armour added shrugging his shoulders.
Tattletale deadpanned at him. "Ballistic, you're fired." Tattletale finished her tone dry as the Sahara desert.
"A portal?" Sundancer wondered.
I nod. waving my hand a rainbow-coloured portal opened beside me. Within the portal showed a remote city where not many people lived, but it was clear from Sundancers gasp that she recognized the place.
And Trickster whose real name is Krouse was a surprisingly a nice guy.
With Noelle now walking on her own two feet he didn't seem like the annoying person described in Worm at all.
In fact, he seemed like Bro material.
"Thank you so much." Noelle smiled a beautiful smile.
"Yeah, sorry for being suspicious earlier," He paused. "Cool Portal though." Well.
I think unworming them really helped. Eh. Eh?
Oh god, that was a horrible pun. I think Yang is affecting me.
I shrugged. "s fine. Don't thank me. Just make sure to live your life without regrets yeah?"
"Bye, bye." Sundancer waved. I liked that girl she seemed nice.
After they said there thanks and byes I closed the portal to earth Aleph and turned towards Tattletale.
She gestured me to the exit.
Soon I was out of the base and back in the Veyron. Tattletale next to me as I drove through the streets.
Well, that's one problem now taken care of, but there was no way Tattletale told them about my Kaleidoscope from the goodness of her heart.
"Oh, come on, I can be nice sometimes." I rose an eyebrow at that. Maybe she is, maybe not, I can't say.
"Fine, it's not just the goodness of my heart. I don't think Noelle would have been stable much longer, and I'd rather not draw the attention of the protectorate when I can relax."
Well, that was one thing she and I could agree on except I like that occasional fights even if I did roll over most of my opponents.
"You know, if people saw us they would be wondering what kind of relationship we had for us to understand each other so well to hold a one-sided conversation."
I choked on air and nearly crashed.
AGAIN.
I turned to her with a nasty glare.
She did this on purpose, I definitely know that. She simply grinned smugly as she removed her coil costume revealing her purple costume beneath it.
I would so get her back for this.
"Good luck with that."
Well, I think Neo could definitely one up her.
"Something tell's me you're thinking of bringing a disaster onto this world."
I raised an eyebrow at that, well Neo was an adorable Dumdum. So yes in a sense that was true.
"Well, this is my stop. I suppose you're going back to the protectorate?" She asked as I slowed down and stopped near the underside's base.
I closed my eyes in thought. Well, I could go back, on the other hand, I'm starting to feel a bit bored. Perhaps I should visit another world?
"I have a feeling you are going to cause a lot of trouble."
"Yep." Was all I said as I drove off leaving Tattletale behind to head of to my next destination.
Ah Tattletale still the shitest/unlikable character in Worm, personality wise and pure douche baggary who goes around fucking with people and not in the fun way.
Gripping aside I was wondering when you were gonna head to a Fate universe.
