One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

"Turn to ashes, you ants!"

As soon as Gilgamesh raised his hand, the number of golden vortexes behind him immediately doubled.

"Arrogant fool, it seems you are the source of the problems in this Holy Grail War. Well then, let's eliminate you here."

Although Abel spoke with disdain, he actually stacked buffs layer by layer and activated his talents one by one.

Then he entered the Dragon God form, his ice dragon armor exuding an unparalleled aura of power.

Others would only assume it's his Noble Phantasm or defensive equipment, like Artoria's Knight Armor.

Facing the dozens of Noble Phantasm prototype weapons shooting towards him, Abel took a deep breath and then unleashed a powerful punch.

"Overlord's Entanglement - Dragon Fist!"

A magnificent and imposing golden dragon immediately devoured all the weapons flying towards it, and then rammed into Gilgamesh.

"The King's Treasure!"

As the golden dragon flew over, Gilgamesh snorted coldly and became serious.

Behind him, countless golden vortexes lit up simultaneously in the air.

The seemingly endless treasures shot out one after another, colliding with the golden dragon whose body was wrapped in black arcs of electricity.

Among them are many powerful Noble Phantasms with real might!

Although Abel's Overlord Dragon Fist was incredibly powerful, Gilgamesh's attack had already caused a qualitative change due to the quantitative change.

Finally, with a loud bang!

The golden dragon exploded, blasting away all the surrounding magical artifacts.

Abel's punch, of course, missed its mark.

But the final explosion forced Gilgamesh back a great distance, leaving a shallow wound on his face.

This enraged Gilgamesh, the 'Hero King' who regarded everyone as ants.

"It is an utter disgrace that I could be hurt by an ant like you!"

"I'm going to cut you into pieces!"

With Gilgamesh unleashing the full power of Gate of Babylon, almost the entire sky was stained with a golden vortex.

Witnessing this scene, even Iskandar the Conqueror, Artoria Pendragon the King Arthur, and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne were all shocked.

Although they already knew that this incredibly arrogant blond man was Gilgamesh, the oldest "Hero King" in human history, when Abel revealed his name and real name!

But when the opponent revealed such terrifying strength, they were still taken aback.

Just how many Noble Phantasms does this guy possess?

Simply unbelievable!

The mysterious Servant, who is currently evenly matched with him in battle, seems to show no fear whatsoever.

Even though he knew the other party was the King of Heroes, he didn't care at all.

They're either really capable or just stupid.

Clearly, this mysterious servant is not the latter.

After all, the terrifying aura it initially exuded clearly overwhelmed that hero king.

Just as everyone was anticipating the next clash between the two, Gilgamesh suddenly revealed an angry expression.

"You think you can make me retreat based on your advice?"

"You've got some nerve, Tokiomi!"

Gilgamesh was very unwilling, but his master used the power of the Command Spell to force him to obey, and there was nothing he could do about it.

At most, they can only utter a couple of harsh words.

"Consider yourself lucky; you've escaped with your life."

"But you won't be so lucky the next time we meet."

The countless golden vortexes vanished in an instant. Gilgamesh, while speaking, entered Heroic Spirit form and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Abel could have left it behind if he wanted to, but it wouldn't have made any sense, so he did nothing.

Chapter 840 The Root of Calamity and Everything Under Control

"It is too reckless to keep displaying your ultimate weapon in front of everyone."

"By the Command Spell, King of Heroes, please calm your anger and withdraw."

Tokiomi looked at the Command Seal on the back of his hand, where a third of the design was missing, and couldn't help but sigh.

He simply couldn't understand why the 'Conqueror King' would suddenly utter such a declaration.

Otherwise, Gilgamesh wouldn't have shown himself so easily.

And it certainly won't provoke the Ruler!

But perhaps this is a good thing.

Knowing in advance about the appearance of the "Adjudicator" is better than being caught off guard at a crucial moment.

So what he needed to do next was to appease the discontented hero king as much as possible.

He considered himself quite adept at this, as he only needed to adopt a humble attitude and give the other party enough face.

It's actually quite similar to coaxing a child.

He can endure in order to win the Holy Grail War.

What Tokiomi didn't know was that he had underestimated this Hero King.

Using a Command Spell to force him to retreat this time made Gilgamesh hold a grudge against him.

This foreshadowing could very well lead to his death.

Then came the investigation into what exactly this "arbitrator" was all about.

This is of utmost importance.

However, it is not appropriate for Tokiomi to step forward; this matter should be handled by Kotomine Risei.

As the supervisor of this Holy Grail War.

Kotomine Ryougi has a perfectly valid reason to approach the other party without arousing suspicion.

"I hope it's not aimed at me, otherwise, even the [Arbitrator] won't live to see the end of the Holy Grail War."

In the candlelight, Tokiomi Tohsaka, with his expressionless face, looked particularly terrifying.

……

There were several reasons why Abel wanted to fight Gilgamesh.

First, he should demonstrate his strength and his status as the Ruler, thus minimizing the chances of anyone stubbornly provoking him.

Secondly, it adds a condition for making a move.

The "Arbitrator" who cannot intervene in the Holy Grail War is useless; no one will be afraid of him.

But things are different now.

He believed that once he gave this 'condition for action,' Kiritsugu Emiya would definitely arrange everything for him.

Kiritsugu Emiya wanted to use his power as the "Arbitrator" to win the Holy Grail War, but wasn't Abel also using Kiritsugu Emiya to achieve his own goals?

It can only be described as each getting what they need.

In this way, he can often be openly and legitimately 'forced' to intervene in the Holy Grail War.

If I help Saber kill a few other Servants, it won't arouse suspicion.

As for the third reason...

Gilgamesh is such a show-off; he would never allow anyone to be more pretentious than him.

With the added assistance of Iskandar the Conqueror, how could Abel, the King, not show up?

It can be said that everything tonight is under his control.

This includes Gilgamesh's eventual evacuation.

Without a Master, Abel's actions just now would have been tantamount to making Gilgamesh his mortal enemy, only to have him do the work for someone else.

But Abel understood Tokiomi too well!

That cunning old fox will absolutely not let Gilgamesh reveal his hand so early.

Also, do you remember that Abel declared his identity as the "Arbitrator" at the start of the battle?

Gilgamesh's arrogance might allow him to ignore it, but Tokiomi, as his Master, could not.

Because the appearance of the "Ruletor" is only related to the Greater Grail.

With a guilty conscience, he instinctively suspected that his alliance with the supervisor, Kotomine Risei, had been exposed.

Or perhaps the fact that Assassin faked his death, allowing his Master Kirei Kotomine to hide in the church, touched a loophole in the Holy Grail War rules, which is why the Greater Grail summoned the "Arbitrator" to investigate?

In this situation, unless Tokiomi had given up on winning and was ready to throw up and lose, he would have been in a difficult position.

Otherwise, Gilgamesh would definitely be recalled immediately!

We need to find out what happened first before we can formulate a new plan.

So far, Abel's plans have been going smoothly.

Even Berserker, who should have been involved, did not show up. It is estimated that the Master behind him was intimidated by his identity and dared not make any rash moves.

"Lancer, come back."

"As you command, my lord."

Diarmuid Ua Duibhne also retreated, giving Artoria a deep look before leaving.

"Now it's just you left, Conqueror King. If you want to fight, I'm ready anytime."
