A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Gudako's expression became somewhat tense.

"Then...then isn't that just like Solomon, the Magic King...!?"

The three arrived at the lakeside, where fish could occasionally be seen swimming happily in the clear water reflecting the sunlight.

Shirou crossed his arms and watched quietly as the two simple-minded fools in front of him were being wildly fooled by Kingu's words.

Seeing that Gudako and Mashu had fallen for his trap, 'Kingu' immediately continued to instill in them preconceived notions.

The impression.

"The three goddesses are ravaging this land in their own ways. One of them is the Goddess of Monsters, who has created monsters, including the ones we encountered in the ruins. These monsters have flooded the north. To fight against these monsters, humanity has built something..."

Kingu stopped, his purple eyes fixed on Gudako, and casually extended an invitation.

"Should we stop by and take a look along the way?"

“Of course.” Gudako was also curious to see what he meant by something that could fight against magical beasts, so she immediately agreed.

Then, the three people and one beast followed Enkidu's footsteps, walking along the cliffs of a mountain range. A cacophony of sounds came from all around, like the roars of monsters or some kind of scream.

After following them all the way to the edge of the cliff, the group was able to see the scene in the distance clearly.

Stretching for tens of kilometers, a massive and magnificent wall stood there, while countless monsters on the ground rushed towards the huge wall one after another.

"This is the last and largest fortress guarding humanity's last hope, the Absolute Monster Front: Babylonia!" 'Jingu' looked at the massive fortress in the distance and his voice rose slightly.

"Are these... the monsters we just encountered...? Wow, there are so many!" Gudako exclaimed in surprise.

"No, that's not all. There's a magical reaction in the north that's dozens of times stronger... It's unbelievable." Mash was also somewhat surprised when she saw the densely packed army of magical beasts, numbering at least hundreds of thousands.

"Was it that city wall that stopped the monsters' attack?" Gudako couldn't help but click her tongue in surprise.

“It’s nothing to be surprised about, it’s just a small matter.” ’Kingu’s’ words caught the attention of Gudako and Mash. “After all, they have been maintaining that wall for half a year.”

"Half...half a year!?"

"That's right, the monsters' relentless attacks and the soldiers who kept repelling them... but the human casualties were fewer than those of the monsters."

"indeed……"

Gudako looked in the direction that 'Kingu' was pointing.

"Yes, although there is a huge difference in combat strength in terms of numbers, who exactly is in charge of commanding that fortress?" Mashu asked, puzzled.

"I think he must have been an outstanding general," Gudako replied with some emotion.

Kingu sneered at Gudako's words.

“Ha…They’re just bleeding pointlessly anyway, there’s no need to destroy them all.” ’Jingu’ turned and walked to the other side. “They would have all died anyway if left unattended, really.”

No one knew whether he was referring to the monsters or the humans who were desperately defending the city.

Chapter Nine: The Man Beyond Fate

As dusk fell, under a dim sky, the group arrived at a forest.

The air was filled with the scents of earth, flowers, and trees, and a gentle breeze blew through the woods.

A thin mist swirls through the forest, and under the veil of white fog, the sunlight shining down from the horizon is like strands of golden sand, filtering through the layers of tree trunks and branches, dappling the grass.

The air is filled with the fragrance of grass, flowers, and damp earth. Countless flowers of all kinds are scattered throughout the forest, twinkling like stars, making the forest floor shine with colorful vitality.

"It looks like we'll be able to reach Uruk before sunset."

"Jin Gu" said as he walked.

“But Mr. Enkidu… Uruk is in the opposite direction?” Mash also felt something was wrong at this moment.

“There’s a dock up ahead. Just take a boat there, and you can reach Uruk by going downstream,” Jingu explained.

"Really? I had no idea there was such a road." Just then, a somewhat flippant voice came from the other direction.

"Oh dear~ I'm sorry to have startled you, but please don't panic. We just got lost on this unfamiliar path, but we never expected to encounter humans right under the nose of the Goddess of Monsters."

A man dressed in white, carrying a staff, emerged from the forest, smiling at the crowd.

He had white hair and a handsome face, wore a rather ornate white robe, and held a staff in his hand.

"That's really unfortunate."

Jingu smiled, his eyes narrowed, and said, "We're heading to Uruk next. Would you like to come with us?"

"That would be wonderful if you could," Merlin replied with a smile. "It's fate that we met here. If it's convenient, could you tell me your names?"

"I am Gudako, this is Mash Kyrielight, and this is Orihara Shirou-senpai."

Upon hearing Gudako's words, Merlin raised an eyebrow and looked at Shirou with some confusion.

"You two look alike, could you be siblings?"

This man was not in the foreseen future. Merlin, realizing this, felt a surge of doubt.

"I am Enkidu."

After 'Jingu' revealed his name, Merlin frowned.

Her attention, which had just been focused on Shirou, was also diverted to him.

“Enkidu? That’s a bit strange…” Merlin stared intently at 'Jingu', resting his chin on his hand as he spoke thoughtfully.

"Because Gilgamesh, who is currently commanding the battle on the Uruk front, has returned from exploring the herb of immortality." Merlin's words caused Mash's expression to change.

"In that case... wouldn't that mean...!?"

In the legend, after Enkidu's death, in his despair, Tenabishtim told Gilgamesh that even if he could not achieve immortality, he could use a magical herb with restorative powers to regain his youth.

Upon learning of a magical herb that could restore youth, Gilgamesh jumped into the sea to search for it. However, while bathing in a spring, the herb he had painstakingly found was stolen and eaten by an old snake. After consuming the herb, the snake immediately shed its skin and became rejuvenated.

Disheartened and resigned, Gilgamesh returned to Uruk. There, he missed his deceased friend Enkidu even more. He sought the help of the gods and met with Enkidu's ghost. He asked Enkidu to tell him the "Laws of the Earth," and only then did he understand that humans cannot live forever.

Gilgamesh then became a wise king, guiding and governing his city-state until his death.

“That’s right! Why did Gilgamesh go back to find the herb of immortality? It was because of the death of his dear friend Enkidu that he went back to find the herb of immortality!” Merlin said, looking at 'Kingu' with a clear voice.

“If this is after we’ve finished searching for the herbs, then Enkidu here is…” Gudako looked warily at the man who resembled Enkidu.

"Tch...!" Jingu clicked his tongue in annoyance. "I was originally planning to take you all to our destination and then wipe you all out, but since we've been exposed, I'll just kill you all here!"

The next moment, a massive surge of magical power erupted from Kingu's body, and the instant he raised his hand, a golden beam of light shot towards Gudako.

Whoosh!

In that instant, a Noble Phantasm shot out and detonated just before hitting the beam cannon.

boom----!

The magic transformed into a raging wind that swept through the area, destroying the surrounding trees.

"What is that...?"

Kingu was somewhat confused by the sudden appearance of the Noble Phantasm.

"Shall we continue the performance?" Above Shirou, who was saying this, blue ripples spread out, and the Noble Phantasms swayed menacingly with sharp blades and daggers, their sharpness fully revealed.

Merlin, who witnessed this scene, looked surprised and pondered, resting his chin on his hand.

Kingu showed a somewhat surprised expression when faced with those treasures, but it was quickly replaced by disdain.

"Heh... a large number of Noble Phantasms, huh... I never thought that among the incompetent people of Chaldea, there would be someone like you."

"Is that a compliment?" Shirou asked with a smile.

At the same time, dozens of Noble Phantasms shot out, trailing blue magical light in the air, rushing towards Kingu.

Jin Gu retreated rapidly, while continuously unleashing light cannons to defend himself.

After narrowly dodging the attacks of these Noble Phantasms, Kingu raised his arm towards Shirou without hesitation.

At the same time, several golden beams shot out in that instant, golden wedges flying towards Shirou, seemingly about to pierce his body in the next second.

"The Chains of Heaven aren't your patent," Shirou said with a cold laugh.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

In that instant, the clanging of chains rang out, and dozens of golden chains shot out from the rippling blue waves, completely binding his body the next second after shattering the solid Heavenly Lock.

"This...how is this possible?!"

Kingu, whose limbs were completely bound by Shirou's "Chains of Heaven," exclaimed in disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible. Since this singularity can gather so many heroes from different eras, then even my existence, possessing the 'Chains of Heaven,' isn't that surprising, is it?"

Shirou looked at the bound Kingo and said in a leisurely tone.

"While there's some truth to what you're saying, something just doesn't feel quite right to me..." Merlin twitched the corner of his mouth as he listened to Shirou's words.

He possesses EX-level "clairvoyance," which is the ability to foresee the future. He predicted Shirou's appearance during the Sixth Singularity, but this time he was unable to predict when Shirou would arrive.

This is a very strange thing. For Merlin.

This person... seems to have gradually drifted away from fate.

Chapter Ten Merlin and Anna

Shirou is facing off against Kingo.

"Tch... If you want to torture me, then you don't need to," Jin Gu said coldly.

"There's no need for that. I already knew everything about you."

Upon hearing Shirou's words, Kingo's expression froze.

“However, I have no reason to kill you,” Shirou said casually.

Although Jingu gives a very bad impression in the early part of the story, he is ultimately just a puppet, and killing him won't make a difference.

It has great significance.

The chains were finally released, and Kingu, now free, looked at Shirou with some confusion, completely unable to understand his actions.

"I am facing the gods, not you, Kingu." Shirou's calm words sent a chill down Kingu's spine.

He stood there motionless for a long time before he recovered from his shock and uttered, "You...you're a complete madman..."

"A madman? Ha..." Shirou shrugged indifferently at Kingu's assessment.

Countless people have doubted his abilities; you get used to it and it doesn't bother you anymore.
