I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

The next moment, blood splattered—

Hercules did not give up; he continued to run towards Gilgamesh, step by step.

Then he roared.

His steps gradually came to a halt.

Hercules stopped moving.

His body remained frozen in place.

Standing there, he resembled a stone statue, his entire body adorned with golden magical artifacts.

His enormous body gradually transformed into countless points of light and disappeared.

Hercules, one of the four who fought Gilgamesh inside the Reality Marble...

Exit.

……

"Hmm... Hercules!" Gilles saw the unusual movement of the Holy Grail and immediately sensed something was wrong.

Hercules left the stage so quickly.

In fact, the Holy Grail can be summoned when the soul of the fifth Servant is absorbed.

But Jill was becoming increasingly uneasy.

He didn't know where this unease came from.

However, the all-knowing and all-powerful star also gave him a warning.

Jill suppressed her unease. "It's coming."

Then, countless streams of black mud surged forth—

They surged toward Jill—

……

"Berserker!" Shirou Emiya's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw this. "Bastard!"

"Hahahaha... Saber, Saber's Master and Rider, you guys aren't good enough yet... But this isn't very interesting..."

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes, and the undisguised malice made the remaining three frown.

Gawain looked at Gilgamesh, "This is terrible... My Noble Phantasm was actually blocked..."

高文持有着名为圣者的数字的固有技能，这是高文拥有的特殊体质。上午9时至正午的3个小时、下午3时至日落的3个小时，力量会变成3倍。

For a moment, although the area within the inherent barrier appeared to be a sunset, there was no sun at all, and the time outside was unknown.

Within such an inherent boundary, the Saint's numbers cannot be utilized.

Gawain's power was slightly restricted, so he was unable to cause Gilgamesh much trouble.

“Then leave it to me.” Shirou Emiya calculated the time. “Time is running out. Leave the rest to me. Saber, Rider, you two are in charge of harassing Gilgamesh!”

"Okay." Gawain and Artoria responded.

Emiya Shirou stepped forward.

"What's wrong? You counterfeit, do you want to fight me too?"

"Don't underestimate me, King of Heroes! There's no such thing as a fake being unable to beat the real thing!"

P.S.: The voting results are in... Although I had expected it during the vote counting, I still didn't expect it to be a black ball...

PS2: This world needs extras... Does anyone here have information on how to be Jill's little brother's extra?

PS3: The book's fan group number is 672529890. The group name reflects the author's terrible naming skills!

Chapter 80 Facing My True Self (Bonus Chapter 9/24)

“Then let’s begin—” Jill took out the crystal ball.

"Surround it, surround it..." Jill began chanting the purification spell of the Purifying Spring, "Then five, then three thousand... All filth vanishes, surrounded by light..."

The black mud surged even more frantically towards Jill, engulfing her completely.

Jill closed her eyes and let herself be swallowed by the black mud.

……

"...Hmph, how boring...this black mud."

Even all the evils of this world that would kill humans and drive Servants mad would pose no threat to Gilgamesh in his current state.

Jill strolled through the black mud, ignoring the illusions of her past life created by the mud.

“I’ve already decided to abandon the past, so this illusion is useless to me.” Jill waved her hand, and all the illusions vanished.

"What...do you desire?"

An unknown voice came from somewhere. Jill didn't know where the voice came from, but he answered anyway.

"I only seek to face my true self."

"Are you trying to escape reality?"

"That is my weakness, and I will not deny it."

"What do you consider to be sin?"

"Things that deviate from humanity."

"What do you consider to be good?"

"The things I want to protect."

"Do you...do you know the source of your power?"

"To bear the weight of the world, to protect those I love, for those I love and those who love me, I will surely wield my sword!"

"...Good, your mind can be inherited..."

Jill then realized that this was not the voice of evil in the world.

"who are you?!"

"The evils of this world are nothing to you; you could purify them all without consequence."

The sound finally disappeared.

Then came the madness of “sin” about the evils of this world!

Those were waves of frantic denial, waves of frantic evil!

Jill chuckled, "Nothing special."

Didn't I already witness this in my past life? All people are sinful; even saints have their own selfish desires…

"The world is already like this, why lament over these sins?"

Jill trudged through the black mud.

"What is right?!"

The cursed voice asked, "Who admits it? Who allows it? And who will bear the burden of this sin?!"

"A foolish question! If the world is like this, then the king shall acknowledge it, the king shall permit it, the king shall bear the weight of the entire world!"

What is a king?

Therefore, this problem is self-evident.

No one other than oneself is allowed to exist within this black mud.

Thus, the black mud became a contradiction.

"The light will surely shine upon the world, and all filth will vanish!" Jill opened her eyes and chanted the final incantation.

The purifying spring emitted a bright light, then slowly covered the black mud.

The black mud was slowly purified.

Everything was enclosed inside the crystal ball, and within that crystal ball, only pure gold remained.

Jill silently gazed at the crystal ball in her hand.

Is this the real Holy Grail? No… it just feels like a large mass of pure magic.

Jill grinned, then absorbed the large mass of magic power.

He needs to break through his magical power.

……

"Clang!" At this moment, Gilgamesh was caught in a fierce battle.

Gilgamesh had initially thought it would be a crushing defeat, but the opponent's fighting style infuriated him.

"Bastard, don't be so arrogant!" Gilgamesh summoned even more golden ripples.

However, all those Noble Phantasms were knocked away by even more Noble Phantasms, which made the King of Heroes' face turn ferocious.

"Why, the swordsmanship of the bastards..."

"Don't you understand? You possess countless Noble Phantasms, placing you at the pinnacle even among Heroic Spirits. However, while you are a king, you are not a warrior. You didn't choose to utilize a single Noble Phantasm to its fullest potential, making you just like me—a loser who gave up halfway!"

"...Hmph, what a joke! You bastard, I'm going to blast your arrogant head to smithereens!"

"King of Heroes, don't forget that Shirou isn't your only opponent!" Artoria raised her longsword and swung it fiercely!

"Boom!" Gilgamesh was caught off guard and was blasted away!

"Damn bastard... take this!" Gilgamesh then drew his weapon from the golden ripples beside him—

"Don't even think about succeeding!" Gawain activated his Noble Phantasm once more, "Excalibur Caradin!"

The sweeping flames of the sun were blocked once again, and Gilgamesh finally drew his weapon.

"Oh no!" Artoria's expression changed drastically. "Gil said we can't let him take out that Noble Phantasm..."

"Too late! Enuma Elish, the Star of Divergence!" Gilgamesh activated his Noble Phantasm immediately!
