Abnormal Moon

Although Gilgamesh is Kirei Kotomine's Servant, he himself has a personality that is very fond of wandering around outside. He does not stay in Fuyuki City for most of the year, so Roy has many opportunities to kill Kirei Kotomine.

With Roy's strength, he can even kill a third-rate Servant head-on. If he is properly prepared, it is not impossible for him to kill Kirei Kotomine.

But Roy did not kill Kirei Kotomine.

Even knowing that he might be a threat to her, she still let him live.

"...What do you want to say?"

Gilgamesh's expression froze.

His dangerous, serpentine eyes were fixed on Roy, as if trying to see through his thoughts.

"You're waiting for the Greater Grail to restart so Kirei Kotomine can make a wish, but little do you know, this is exactly what I wanted!"

Seeing that even the mighty King of Heroes hadn't figured out his trump card, Roy couldn't help but laugh even more heartily.

"You've probably been feeling dizzy and lightheaded since just now, right? You probably thought we might have used some kind of magic, but the truth is, no magic has been applied to you; the problem is with yourself!"

“I’ve been in Fuyuki City for three years and have come into contact with the Greater Grail at least fifty or a hundred times. Even if Angra Mainyu tried to stop me, how much could a Heroic Spirit who doesn’t know magic possibly stop me? The modifications I’ve made to the Greater Grail in secret are far more extensive than you know!”

To be honest, Roy was quite nervous at first, because Gilgamesh really did have some omniscient power, and if he could see through his actions, then things would be terrible.

But the reality is that Gilgamesh did not see through everything. He may have indeed seen through many things in this world, but his understanding of this world was still like a mirage.

That's right.

Over the past three years, Roy has come into contact with the Greater Grail dozens of times!

On the surface, he only made a very minor alteration, thus deceiving Angra Mainyu, who knew nothing about magic. However, he was unaware that through repeated contact, Roy had already made a very radical alteration to the deeper mechanisms of the Greater Grail.

This is Roy's second trump card.

—He adjusted the activation mechanism of the Greater Grail, changing the activation condition to require the consumption of magical energy and the soul of a Servant!

Chapter 119 God-Slaying Whip VS Ecstasy Sword

Roy didn't tell anyone about this alteration.

Even to Taigong Wang, he only told him that he had "a magic weapon to win", without telling him that the mechanism of the Greater Grail had been tampered with.

He was really worried that if he told a second person, a third person might find out, and then a fourth, a fifth person... so he kept it to himself and didn't tell anyone.

Naturally, in order to ensure that Taikomoku would not die easily from the Greater Grail, he also had Taikomoku cast a spell on him to stabilize his soul beforehand.

At that time, Taigong Wang did not understand Roy's intention in doing so.

Now, he finally understands.

"Hahaha, you've really laid out an incredible trump card, my Master!"

Taigong Wang laughed heartily, praising his master.

seriously.

You're so well prepared!

Even Taiko-no-Wang thought that his Master's preparations were far too thorough!

Taikoubou, who was disgusted by Gilgamesh's statement that disregarded the lives of all mankind, had his gloom swept away at this moment, leaving only joy and admiration.

"At this time, the soul of the Heroic Spirit closest to the Greater Grail—specifically, Angra Mainyu's soul—should have already been absorbed into the Greater Grail and consumed."

Roy looked down at the crimson Holy Grail in the great void, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face, his mood extremely pleasant.

That black guy deserved to die!

Although Angra Mainyu entered the Greater Grail and thus corrupted it, he was not a part of the Grail but a parasite. If the Grail had exercised its own initiative, it could have easily destroyed him. However, the Grail had no autonomy and allowed Angra Mainyu to ruin it.

Now that Roy has used his Mystic Eyes to tamper with the activation mechanism of the Greater Grail, it's as if he has activated its initiative and begun to reclaim the souls of Servants.

And it's not just recycling, it's also consumption!

By using the Servant's soul as nourishment and consuming it on the spot, the possibility of it committing evil again is avoided!

However, all of this is predicated on the Greater Grail being reactivated.

In other words, someone still needs to make a wish to restart the Greater Grail for this mechanism to unfold.

However, if anyone else makes a wish, Gilgamesh or Angra Mainyu will definitely stop them. Only when Kirei Kotomine makes a wish will they be completely unguarded.

Roy saw through this, so he played along and never attacked Kirei Kotomine, letting him live instead, all in order to use him to restart the Greater Grail!

Then, whether it's Angra Mainyu, Archer, Okita, or even Gilgamesh, they will all be targeted by the Greater Grail.

Because this is a new mechanism that will only be activated after the Greater Grail restarts, even Angra Mainyu didn't notice it due to Roy's skill in "using big moves to cover up small moves." It has been hidden in the Greater Grail mechanism all along, and no one knows about it.

It was only at this moment that Roy revealed it.

"You said it, didn't you, King of Heroes?"

Roy looked at Gilgamesh, whose face had darkened.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Roy was overjoyed; this is the law of conservation of happiness.

“Once the Greater Grail is activated, there is no way to stop it. It will continuously absorb the magic power of the ley lines to fulfill wishes until the wishes are fulfilled. Even I cannot change the mechanism back.”

"Damn miscellaneous cultivators!"

Gilgamesh was so angry that his lips twitched.

He said those words just a minute ago, but they've been used to mock him instead!

The Greater Grail cannot be stopped.

In other words, even if they chased him to the ends of the earth, the Greater Grail would still absorb Gilgamesh's soul.

In this respect, Taigong Wang is no different. Even if he uses magic to stabilize his soul, as long as his soul is still alive, the Greater Grail will not let him go.

Admittedly, Gilgamesh could also use corresponding treasures to guard his soul, but the Greater Grail would still relentlessly pursue them like a leech.

Moreover, as long as the Greater Grail has not fulfilled its wish, it will continue to absorb the magical power of the world's ley lines. Sooner or later, the suction force from it will become stronger and stronger, eventually reaching a point where it cannot be resisted.

"...I see, you really put a lot of effort into it."

Gilgamesh closed his eyes, then opened them again.

The previous joy, mockery, and danger in his eyes had all vanished, replaced by coldness and brutality.

"If you were a mediocre Heroic Spirit, you might already have lost to me—"

A brand new golden ripple appeared beside his hand.

Gilgamesh reached his hand into the ripple.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a "sword".

Whether that thing can be described as a "sword" is really confusing. In terms of appearance, it is a cylindrical object with a handle, which can be held in one hand. The entire cylinder is black and the same length as a regular sword, with scarlet to dazzling zigzag patterns carved on it.

Gilgamesh rose from his throne and raised the sword high, as if in a tribute ceremony.

"Wake up, EA!"

In that instant, an astonishing sense of oppression emanated from the air.

For a moment, Roy even felt breathless. He looked at the sword with deep awe in his eyes. Anyone who knew about that sword would not dare to show the slightest disrespect to it.

"Master!"

Taigong Wang quickly stepped in front of Roy, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

"The Primordial Sword! They actually brought it out here; they really think highly of us!"

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Roy rolled his eyes at him.

Now that things have come to this, Gilgamesh has no choice but to take out this sword to settle the score with Taigong Wang. Otherwise, the two of them would probably fight until the Great Dao is obliterated and still not be able to determine a winner.

"Rider, use your strongest Noble Phantasm!"

"Haha, let's decide the winner with maximum firepower? I don't mind!"

Taigong Wang chuckled softly.

Since that's the case, then he'll stop pretending!

"Activate your thought patterns to the fullest extent!"

Taigong Wang raised his hand and took out an iron whip.

This whip is three feet six and a half inches long, entirely black, and has twenty-one sections. Each section has four talismans, for a total of eighty-four talismans. It is wrapped with a heavy, ancient, and murderous aura, and is stained with the blood of countless people and gods.

"Eighty-four talismans, activate all machines!"

Taigong Wang casually tossed the iron whip in his hand.

But in that instant, a massive magical power, as turbulent as a tsunami, was released from him.

"Heavens above, open up!"

A huge ripple spread across the sky, like waves crashing on the sea. It was space itself twisting and reshaping. Then, a massive iron whip, as thick and heavy as a mountain pillar, descended from the sky!

"Disappear in this light—God-Slaying Whip!"
