"impossible!"
Gilgamesh broke down instantly, and just like in the original story, his face showed an expression of disbelief.
At the same time, it was also because of his mental imbalance that the Star of Heaven and Earth's Divergence, which could have held on a little longer, collapsed instantly, just like a balloon punctured by a needle.
Then, enveloped by the golden beam of light from the curry stick, it blasted towards him.
To be honest, Gilgamesh actually had the opportunity and ability to dodge at that moment, but he was too shocked to remember, or perhaps out of royal pride, he was unwilling to dodge.
Facing the approaching golden pillar of light, Gilgamesh stood motionless on Vimana, as if he had already accepted his fate of defeat.
Given Gilgamesh's personality, it's not like he wouldn't do something like that.
In the original storyline, he was defeated by Artoria's Excalibur in a battle of Noble Phantasms, looking utterly helpless. Although he didn't die, he was so dejected that he looked almost as if he were dead.
In the end, if the black mud hadn't tried to devour and corrupt him, he would still be lying there dead.
However, he wasn't fighting alone now; Tokiomi Tohsaka was staring intently at him with wide eyes.
Even if he wanted to lie dead and die, Tokiomi Tohsaka wouldn't allow it!
In fact, Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't know if Gilgamesh could dodge in the end, but he didn't dare to gamble. At this moment, he unleashed the fastest speed he had ever experienced, directly activating a Command Spell to teleport Gilgamesh to Kotomine Risei's side. Not to mention Gilgamesh himself, even Medusa, who was ready to launch a sneak attack at any time, was stunned.
"What about people?!"
"Here I am!"
Kiritsugu Emiya's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He looked at Gilgamesh, who had suddenly appeared in his presence, and his voice was filled with gritted teeth.
However, it was Gilgamesh himself who was even angrier than him.
Being defeated at his strongest point was indeed exhausting for him, and he felt an urge to destroy everything. Although this thought was fleeting, Tokiomi Tohsaka once again forcefully interfered with his choice!
Back in Uruk, no one dared to treat him like that! Even his best friend Enkidu would only try to persuade him, unlike Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was respectful in words but actually regarded him as a familiar, a puppet, or a tool.
This is understandable, as most orthodox magicians in the Type-Moon universe are a group of people lacking in common human ethics and morals.
What do the contributions of Heroic Spirits to human history have to do with them? They can even use their own relatives and disciples as tools, so isn't it normal for them to use Heroic Spirits as tools as well?
Even Weber did things like stealing his teacher's relics and using hypnosis to control an ordinary elderly couple and hide them in their house.
The Holy Grail War was so brutal that he never considered whether living there would cause trouble for others.
Take Kiritsugu Emiya for example. If we found his residence, we would definitely send them both to their deaths with an RPG or a bomb.
However, Tokiomi Tohsaka was not stupid, but rather lacked a common sense of morality. Knowing Gilgamesh's personality, he knew that doing so would provoke Gilgamesh's rage. Therefore, he did not give Gilgamesh a chance to retaliate. Without saying a word, he activated the second Command Spell, replenishing Gilgamesh's magic power while forcibly ordering Gilgamesh to bring back Kotomine Risei and the dozens of Command Spells.
With those dozens of Command Seals in hand, would he still be afraid of Gilgamesh's resistance?
As for himself, he immediately ran away as fast as he could.
Gilgamesh was no match for the enemy's Heroic Spirit. Relying solely on the magical traps accumulated by the Tohsaka family over the years would certainly not be enough to stop the enemy's attack, so running away and hiding was the right choice.
So when the golden light dissipated, Kitagawa Yu glanced in the direction of Iskandar, who was still battling Scheherazade in his mental world, and decided to go and capture Tohsaka Tokiomi first, only to find that he had missed him.
Although they were able to break through the Tohsaka family's magic barrier quickly without interference, Tokiomi Tohsaka had already vanished without a trace by the time they entered the Tohsaka mansion. Clearly, they had considered this possibility and had prepared a backup plan.
Meanwhile, Kiritsugu Emiya's heart sank upon receiving the news.
Now that things have come to this point, even if Gilgamesh were to come, he wouldn't just hand over Kotomine Ryougi and those dozens of Command Seals so easily. So he has no choice but to take a gamble.
"If Kitagawa Yu's information is correct, Archer should possess a divinity that appears to be B-rank but is actually A+ rank, which is precisely what makes him vulnerable to Avenger's anti-god Noble Phantasm."
Seeing Gilgamesh still stuck there, struggling against the power of the Command Seals, Kiritsugu Emiya gritted his teeth and directly used a Command Seal to amplify the power of Nobunaga's Noble Phantasm, causing him to unleash his Noble Phantasm on Gilgamesh.
"Damn it! Another scoundrel has come to provoke me! In that case, I'll destroy them all!"
This time, Gilgamesh did not sit idly by and wait for his death. Instead, he was furious and once again activated the Star of Divergence.
No way, he's going back to personally twist the head off that bastard Tokiomi Tohsaka, how could he possibly die here?
And it's one thing to lose to Artoria's curry stick.
That was a powerful being that had defeated his Ea in a fair and square clash of Noble Phantasms. Although he found it hard to believe, he was willing to acknowledge the opponent and accept the consequences of defeat.
Emiya Kiritsugu and Demon King Nobunaga want to kill him with a shameless sneak attack? What a joke!
However, the Demon King Nobunaga was much stronger than he had imagined.
A sea of blazing fire unfolded beneath Demon King Nobunaga's feet. With the enhancement of his inherent skills, Dreamlike Illusion and Helplessness, the magical energy fluctuations emanating from Demon King Nobunaga, standing amidst the fire, surged wildly. Coupled with the enhancement brought by Kiritsugu Emiya's Command Spells, Demon King Nobunaga's magical energy fluctuations at this moment were almost on par with Gilgamesh's.
What annoyed Gilgamesh even more was that he could sense that the Noble Phantasm that Demon King Nobunaga was activating was extremely effective against him!
But what about that?
At this moment, he was serious! And when he was serious, he would never lose to anyone except Artoria and her curry stick.
"Prepare to die! You bastard! Star that created the chaos of heaven and earth!"
The crimson energy intertwined with the torn, dark spatial rift, transforming into a storm-like pillar of light that reappeared in the world and blasted towards the Demon King Nobunaga.
At the same time, Demon King Nobunaga also activated his Noble Phantasm.
"Gathering the six heavens, covering the four seas! Mara's transformation! The three thousand great demon kings of the Thousand Heavens!"

Chapter 181 They've Lost All Humanity
A gigantic, six-armed skeleton rose up from behind Demon King Nobunaga, and at the same time, Demon King Nobunaga, who was originally in the form of a young girl, grew into a mature woman.
The next second, countless crimson flame rays rushed towards the beam of light blasted out by the Ea.
The two collided in mid-air, turning the entire sky completely red.
This made it difficult for outsiders to tell who had the upper hand, and it also made Kiritsugu Emiya's heart pound more violently than ever before. An unprecedented sense of tension overwhelmed him, making him want to crush the gun in his hand.
"We must win, Avenger!"
Even Kiritsugu Emiya, who never believed in God, couldn't help but pray in his heart. If Yu Kitagawa were here, he might be able to receive his wishes.
Unfortunately, it was too late to pray to the gods at that point.
Nobunaga the Demon King is not Artoria; he doesn't have Artoria's powerful ability to withstand attacks from her curry sticks.
Even with all the buffs stacked up and the Command Seals' blessing, she still couldn't defeat the Heaven and Earth Ea, the most powerful sword, from the Ea.
After a brief stalemate, the countless fireballs were shredded by the wind pressure generated by the wildly spinning red beam of light, which tore the space open with dark cracks. The fireballs continued to bombard her with undiminished force.
Clearly, without a defensive Noble Phantasm like Avalon, without a loyal knight like Lancelot who would follow him to the death, and even with a less-than-helpful Master, the Demon Lord Nobunaga, whose mana was depleted, had no way to withstand this terrifying attack.
Just moments ago, he was wielding a Gatling gun glowing red, blasting one of Hassan's clones into pieces. In the blink of an eye, he turned to ashes in the Star of Ea, becoming the first Heroic Spirit to be defeated and leave the battlefield in this Holy Grail War.
I wonder if this is Avenger's destiny.
However, Kiritsugu Emiya had no time to despair, or perhaps because he had the Holy Grail from other worlds as a backup plan, he was not prepared to despair at all.
Seeing that Demon King Nobunaga was defeated in the clash of Noble Phantasms, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately used the Command Seal in his hand before it disappeared, and teleported himself directly to Hisamu Maiya's side.
Of course, he wasn't there to treat Hisamu Maiya; now wasn't the time to worry about her injuries. His priority was to eliminate Kenneth as quickly as possible and seize control of Scheherazade.
That's right. Although Hisayu Maiya's previous actions failed, she did manage to find out Kenneth's true strength and weaknesses.
Because of the time constraints, Kenneth did indeed simply set up a fog barrier, as he had expected, and the battle relied entirely on summoning demon wolves.
For Hisau Maiya, the demonic wolves were indeed a bit of a problem, but for him, who had mastered the Emiya family's inherited magic, killing these demonic wolves and finding Kenneth was not a difficult task.
The only thing to be wary of is Kenneth using a Command Spell to forcibly teleport Scheherazade back.
Although he was confident in his own strength, he also knew that he was probably no match for this Heroic Spirit whose charm ability was at its maximum level.
However, he couldn't wait for Iskandar to kill Scheherazade before making his move; otherwise, his actions would be meaningless.
Therefore, his actions must be swift, ruthless, and precise, giving Kenneth no chance to react.
"I'll help you!" Hisayu Maiya, disregarding the fact that her unbandaged wound was still bleeding, was about to get up and go with Emiya Kiritsugu.
It has to be said that Hisa Maiya's love for Emiya Kiritsugu is true love.
“No need. You’ve lost too much blood and are having difficulty moving around. You should stay here.” A complex light flashed in Kiritsugu Emiya’s eyes as he quickly said.
After a pause, perhaps worried that Hisayu Maiya might disobey, he added, "After you treat your wound, take the sniper rifle to the building across the street and provide long-range sniping support if necessary."
"it is good!"
Hisayu Maiya readily agreed and then quickly began treating the wound.
Seeing this, Kiritsugu Emiya didn't delay any longer. He took the revolver loaded with the Origin Bullet from her and rushed into the hotel building like a cheetah.
Meanwhile, Gilgamesh won the Noble Phantasm clash and felt incredibly satisfied.
But his Master, Tokiomi Tohsaka, was dumbfounded. In the recent clash of Noble Phantasms, even Kiritsugu Emiya, who was standing so far away, was almost affected by the aftershocks of the Ea, and had to use teleportation to escape. What about Kirei Kotomine, Kirei Kotomine, and Hassan Hyakko, who were even closer to him?
When the red light faded, a huge crater with a radius of one kilometer had appeared on the once empty highway.
The deepest part of the pit is tens of meters deep, and even the soil has turned into dark red lava like a purgatory, which is quite in line with the setting of the star that separated heaven and earth.
Hassan the Hundred Faces clones didn't even last half a second before being completely evaporated by the red energy. However, before he died, he did what a Servant should do: he used his own body to shield his Master Kirei Kotomine.
In addition, Kirei Kotomine's clothes were also the Mystic Code of the Proxy, which had good defense. Furthermore, his own physical body had been honed to an extremely powerful level, so he was lucky to survive.
But Yan Fengli was not so lucky.
He only had one Hassan clone beside him, unlike Kirei Kotomine who had a human wall of dozens of Hassans to help block damage. In addition, Gilgamesh's sword was deliberately aimed at him. It would be too unreasonable for him not to die.
That's right, he did that sword strike on purpose.
Didn't Tokiomi Tohsaka forcibly command him with Command Seals? Then he'll just kill Risei Kotomine and see how he gets Command Seals then!
No one can force the great hero king to do something he doesn't want to do!
"Damn it! How could this happen!"
In a secret underground space located on Mount Maru, Tokiomi Tohsaka, looking somewhat disheveled from his hasty escape, slumped to the ground, his eyes glazed over.
He put in so much effort, even colluding with the church and allowing Matou Kariya, the only one in the Matou family with the magical talent to become a Master, to have an affair with his wife, all in pursuit of victory in the Holy Grail War. Now, it's clear that victory is slipping away from him.
How could he possibly accept this?
Suddenly, Tokiomi Tohsaka's expression turned ferocious, and he shouted loudly, "No! I haven't failed yet! Archer isn't dead yet, I still have a chance!"
At this point, he obviously didn't care about whether he was the King of Heroes or not, and directly called Gilgamesh "Archer".
That's why Gilgamesh isn't here; otherwise, he would probably have chopped this guy to pieces with a single sword strike.
However, he was right. As long as Gilgamesh is still around, he hasn't completely failed.
