The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

All that could be heard was the constant clanging of metal and the sound of the land crumbling and collapsing.

"As expected of Saber and Lancer, the two top riders are worlds apart from the weak Caster and Assassin."

On the crane in the warehouse district, the 5 Assassins occupied this prime location where they could have a panoramic view of the entire battlefield. Kirei Kotomine shared his senses with his Servant through a technique and reported everything that had happened to Tokiomi Tohsaka.

“As the strongest class, Saber is also someone who needs to be taken seriously, especially since she was taken by the Einzbern family.”

Tokiomi Tohsaka still felt regretful about this, because although he summoned the King of Heroes Gilgamesh, it was not Saber, but Archer.

"Lancer is about to use his Noble Phantasm, the long spear of the two, and he has broken through the spell of Saber's hidden sword."

Kirei Kotomine's report made Tokiomi Tohsaka stop talking and listen attentively, as the battle in Warehouse Street had reached a critical moment.

Lancer removed the disguise from the two pistols in his hands, revealing the power of those two demonic guns.

With a bit of tactical trickery, Lancer threw the yellow magic spear to the ground and then hooked it with his leg, stabbing Saber's wrist.

The yellow pistol in Lancer's hand is called the Destroyer Rose; wounds inflicted by this gun cannot be healed.

Saber's left wrist was stabbed, which prevented her from swinging the holy sword with both hands at full power, and thus prevented her from unleashing the true name of her Noble Phantasm.

Manju has achieved his goal, and Matou Kariya has also sent back the information.

Manshu put away the book he was reading and placed it on the table to read later.

However, he did not rush to set off, but listened attentively.

My formal appearance before all these heroes cannot be too casual; I should be prepared.

As a thunderous roar echoed in the sky and purple lightning streaked across the night, Manshu finally stood up.

"The thunderbolts of Zeus were just right as a sign of the rising sun."⑧

Saber and Lancer in Warehouse Street had just regrouped, and the two sides were once again locked in a stalemate, with another battle seemingly imminent. ⑤

A deafening clap of thunder from the horizon broke the standoff, causing them all to turn and look up at the sky. ⑦

On the other side, under the cover of night, a tank, flashing with crisscrossing purple light, sped towards them. ⑥

"A chariot?"

The people on the field gasped in astonishment, marveling at the chariot emitting purple lightning; such power and phenomena were definitely the work of a Servant's Noble Phantasm. ③

However, some people couldn't help but have some doubts.

This oxcart is undoubtedly used as a vehicle for a Noble Phantasm, so could it be that there are two Riders in this Holy Grail War? ④

However, this doubt could only remain in their hearts for the time being; they could only watch as the oxcart, imbued with the divine light of Zeus, approached.

However, just as the oxcart descended through the void, emitting purple lightning and a deafening roar, the sun...

In this night sky, something that should absolutely not exist appeared with overwhelming power. Even more...

It was a blazing sun, just as described in ancient mythology, where the great sun god Ra traveled in his sun boat to bring daylight and the sun to the world.

The moment the solar boat appeared, the pitch-black night was completely torn apart; a torrent of light and heat burned away the darkness, and the sun's radiance truly shone upon the earth.

It was as if we had returned to ancient Egypt, to the time when the god-king still roamed this land.

The last time the God-King toured, he unleashed his wrath, and raging fire serpents from the raging sun devoured the villains.

This procession, however, was a display of the divine king's majesty, and naturally brought forth a warm and abundant light.

Even such brilliance still inspires fear. The sun's rays are like moths drawn to a flame; even the gentle glow that brings life can bring death if you get too close.

The commotion surrounding Rider's entrance was completely overshadowed; no one was paying attention to the chariot anymore, their eyes were entirely drawn to the brilliance of the solar ship.

"The limelight has been completely stolen."

Rider scratched his head while standing on the chariot, but couldn't help looking back at the blazing sun.

The intense scent of the sun was far superior to even the oxen chariot beneath me, which was offered to the great god Zeus.

This must be the chariot of some sun god, otherwise how could it have such a grand display?

Is it the divine ship that was pulled?

Rider struggled to identify the man standing at the bow of the boat, and only after confirming that he was a stranger did he turn around and drive the oxcart down.

"Hahaha, your frolicking is indeed quite good, and it's certainly worthy of being a prelude to the king's arrival."

And now...

Kneel down and worship! It's time to welcome the King of Kings!

Chapter Eight: Rage

"Where did this madman come from?"

Kiritsugu Emiya, who was lying in ambush nearby, looked up at the sun ship in the sky, which was radiating intense heat.

Such words were undoubtedly a serious provocation, especially since they were directed at all the Servants present.

He directly attracted at least three enemies, practically cutting off his own escape route.

Were the heroes of ancient times idiots?

The man couldn't understand this, only finding the dazzling light a bit blinding; he wasn't the kind of guy who could appear in the sunlight.

"In short, be prepared; the appearance of such a disruptor could cause some trouble."

Kiritsugu Emiya could only sigh and speak into the communicator.

"……Um"

Mai, on the other end of the communicator, was also speechless, only responding with a soft "yes" after a moment of silence.

"King of Kings... Who does such a self-proclaimed title remind you of, Kirei?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was inside the workshop, asked Kirei Kotomine.

“If I only heard that title, my answer would be Nimrod. But that ship looks like a creation of Egypt, so I think it might be a pharaoh. Hmm… I think it would be Ramses II.”

"If it's that king, then it's troublesome. And it's for a king who is equally arrogant, so arrogant as to be almost rude... This is terrible."

Tokiomi Rintosaka's tone carried a hint of bitterness, and Kirei Kotomine couldn't help but frown.

"Si is indeed in some trouble; things are probably going to get bad."

(8) Because there was an equally arrogant king there, and by his nature he would never turn a deaf ear to such words.

4 But even Gilgamesh would probably have to use every trick in the book to defeat Ramses II.

However, this completely contradicts the strategy that Tokiomi Tohsaka set at the beginning: Gilgamesh's abilities should not be revealed too much before the real decisive battle.

jiu……

As Manjus's voice faded from the sun boat, a blinding golden light appeared atop a streetlamp more than ten meters above the ground.

That was a man wearing armor that emitted a dazzling golden light, possessing a magnificent and radiant appearance—the hero-king Gilgamesh.

"This is unbelievable. I never expected a madman who calls himself the King of Kings to appear here. Bastard, daring to call yourself a king in front of me is an unforgivable crime. How dare you say you are the King of Kings? Have you thought about how you want to die?"

Gilgamesh gave a cold, displeased laugh, looking down at the solar ship in the sky with disdain; his voice and eyes were filled with nothing but cold indifference.

"Hahahaha, Archer, your aura of being both human and god is so strong that I can smell it even in the heavens."

Manju stood fearlessly at the bow of the ship, laughing loudly, and spoke in the same mocking tone and expression.

"You scum born of a hybrid of man and god, how dare you stand before the throne of the King of Kings and utter such arrogant and foolish words!"

The moment the solar boat descended upon this land, Manju was already in a daze and didn't care about anything else.

Perhaps it should be called an attack, but the feeling was really good, so Manshu let loose and let loose.

Manju simply considered himself the true master of this solar ship, watching as Gilgamesh, the hero king, below had his crimson eyes blooming like red lotuses, his raging fury threatening to ignite the world. Manju responded with mocking laughter.

"Go ahead and try, you man of no light. See if you can shoot down the sun from the sky and then call yourself king."

"Because before you stands the King of Kings, protected by the omnipotent gods. Amplify your radiance as much as possible, and perhaps you will shine bright enough to be worthy of attention." Mi

"Hahahaha... So that's it, so that's it! Their minds were clouded by the barrier of madness, which is why they dared to be so offensive and act so disrespectfully." Nine

The Hero King, standing atop the lamppost, revealed a twisted smile, devoid of any beauty. 4

A world-destroying flame burned in the king's eyes; his furious expression revealed the form of a demon, the deep lines etched between his brows making his once dazzling face appear ferocious.

"But you madman, that is no reason for your offense. Even the sun must bow before the king, and even the master of the sky must be defeated."

"You have committed a crime deserving of ten thousand deaths; await your annihilation, you piece of trash!"

Countless weapons appeared beside the enraged Hero-King Gilgamesh, each a Noble Phantasm of extremely high rank. 5

There's no need to test them anymore; facing such a madman, the only order that can be given is the death penalty. 6.

The first time, thirty-two Noble Phantasms shot out from beside Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, their thunderous roar shaking the very air, their trajectory seemingly tearing the sky apart. (4)

Such a sight was utterly astonishing and left one speechless.

"Then let's give it a try, Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, and witness the glory of the gods on earth."

Seeing the dozens of magical artifacts being shot at him, Manju remained proudly standing at the bow of the sun ship, and chuckled softly.

The magic surged forth, and the solar boat transformed from the warm, bountiful sunrise into a vast, blazing sun that brought destruction.

The radiant, serpentine flames were unleashed, a testament to the wrath of the gods.

In ancient times, when the sun god Ra still ruled the earth, some people privately discussed that the great god Ra was old and weak.

Upon hearing these rumors, Ra took off his own eyes and used them to punish those foolish people.

The radiance of that day was just like this moment, descending from Ra's sun ship with a world-ending light, turning all the foolish madmen to ashes.

The magical artifacts that shot into the sky collided with these frenzied serpents of light.

The golden light magic collided with the glittering golden weapons, causing a violent explosion.

The pitch-black night had been completely disrupted, torn apart and shattered by the endless radiance, and now it was utterly obliterated in the sound of the explosion.

Before everyone's eyes, it was as bright as day; the sky was filled with light, and there were deafening explosions. 9

"Is that all, Archer? If that's all, it's very disappointing." Mio

Manju remained standing at the bow of the ship, looking down arrogantly at the Hero King, and spoke loudly.

"This is what I should be saying. Is this all the tricks you've got? That's hardly commensurate with your boastful words. If that's all, then let's just annihilate you completely." (8)

Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, seemed to have recovered from his rage, but... an incredible radiance appeared around him. ④
