Honkai Summoning.

An angry roar came from the surging black mud. Such a distinctive way of cursing could only belong to Jin Shanshan.

His confidence stemmed from his own strength, and it wasn't entirely without reason. At the very least, with Gilgamesh's power, he had every right to be arrogant.

As he himself hadn't finished saying, the malicious black mud hadn't been able to assimilate him in the same way it had eroded and assimilated Artoria. As a king who considered himself the noblest, he resisted the black mud's erosion with his pride and could still curse with great vigor.

However, upon hearing this voice, the expressions of Emiya Kiritsugu and the others changed slightly.

Su Mo frowned, touching his chin as if deep in thought.

Golden light emanated from the protruding mass of black mud. The mud no longer flowed as before, but solidified and then fell into the black mud on the ground, disappearing without a trace.

Gilgamesh, clad in golden armor, wore a displeased expression. Although the black mud had no effect on him, being enveloped by a malicious substance would anger anyone, let alone Gilgamesh.

"Holy crap, it really has changed!" Su Mo's eyes widened, and he slapped his hands together in front of him, unable to help but exclaim.

Kiritsugu Emiya maintained his indifferent poker face, but upon closer inspection of his face as usual, one could see that the twitching corners of his mouth and eyes revealed that his inner turmoil was far from calm.

"What the hell is going on?" Li Yunlong's voice came from the roof on the other side, deeply expressing his shock.

“Bastards, who gave you permission to look me in the eye…” The last “king” was left unsaid, and Gilgamesh’s voice trailed off, eventually turning into a silent mouth shape.

Jin Shanshan remained silent, then reached behind his back, extended two fingers, pinched a strand of long golden hair, and pulled it close to his eyes to examine it closely. His expression grew even more unpleasant.

Then, he—or rather, she—looked down and saw that her form had clearly changed, with a raised golden armor on her chest.

With her eyes closed, Gilgamesh still seemed unable to accept the fact that she had been gender-swapped. She slightly raised the hand holding the Star of Ea, and the Star of Ea disappeared. A halo appeared beside her hand, and Gilgamesh took out an exquisitely crafted mirror from it.

By the bright moonlight, Gilgamesh looked at her face in the mirror. She had long, wavy golden hair, red eyes, and a face that was no less beautiful than Artoria's, with an air of obvious arrogance.

The woman reflected in the mirror was beautiful and as proud as a queen.

Gilgamesh was indeed not corrupted by the black mud, but... for some reason, he was turned into a feminine version of Gilgamesh!

It has to be said that this result was truly unexpected by everyone. Even the corrupted Artoria couldn't hide her surprise, her mouth slightly agape.

Only Irisviel looked at her mother, Sparkle, with a beaming smile, appearing very happy, and murmured, "So cute."

“You…” The mirror in Mother Shanshan’s hand shattered instantly. She took out the Star of Creation and Divergence again. A huge wind pressure swept out the moment the Star of Creation and Divergence appeared, and the howling wind filled the night sky.

"Oh my, what terrifying power!"

Irisviel said with a smile, and Artoria stepped forward, blocking Irisviel's path. She raised Excalibur high and slashed down at Gilgamesh in an instant.

The golden sword light had now turned black, forming a black curtain of light that rushed straight towards Jin Shanshan.

Gilgamesh held the Star of Divergence, which had been created by the creation of heaven and earth, horizontally in front of his chest, clashing with the black sword light.

A tremendous roar came from between the two, the ground caved in, and the scene was replaced by a vast expanse of darkness, the earth trembled.

Tokiomi Tohsaka's luxurious mansion was completely reduced to ruins upon impact—no, to be precise, reduced to nothingness, leaving only some fragments and a deep crater.

Fortunately, the Tohsaka family was very wealthy, and their houses and estates were large enough that the disaster did not spread to other places.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Gilgamesh didn't have time to unleash the power of Ea, and only used it to block Excalibur.

The black and red light dissipated, and Jin Shanshan stood in the deep pit.

Not far ahead, Irisviel and Artoria were gradually sinking into the black mud and disappearing from sight.

Before Gilgamesh could summon his Noble Phantasm to stop them, the two disappeared from his sight, leaving a rather mocking smiley face on the ground with black mud.

Chapter 82 Girl, Shall we sign a contract?

(Thanks to Ashura's Wrath a for the 1888 reward! Thanks to Demon Lord San San, Little Human Flesh, Half-Face Clown, Sui Xin o Ji Yi, and Shen Shang for their rewards!)

"Bastard!"

With a furious shout—no, with a delicate shout—that mocking smile vanished without a trace.

"Huh..." Su Mo had returned to the vicinity at some point, looking around at the messy battlefield, and made a puzzled sound.

Gilgamesh stood there, not saying a word, nor paying any attention to Su Mo, probably still processing the fact that she had suddenly been turned into a female character.

"Is something wrong?" Kiritsugu Emiya strolled over slowly. If Su Mo hadn't led this guy to a safe place first, this already injured man might have already died.

“There were no bodies, no blood, no pieces. Those people were taken away,” Su Mo said, noting that there was no trace of blood or other corpses on the ground beneath his feet.

Under the powerful aftershocks of Gilgamesh and Atoria's clash, even if Kirei Kotomine and the others hadn't died, they might not have been able to withstand it, let alone become defenseless corpses, torn apart to pieces without a trace.

But even if there are no remains, there would still be scenes that make people want to vomit, with all sorts of pixelated images... The scene couldn't possibly be "so clean".

The only explanation is that Irisviel took them along with their bodies. As for the reason for taking them, Su Mo remembered that the black mud from the Holy Grail filled Kirei Kotomine's heart, allowing him to live until the Fifth Holy Grail War ten years later.

So, does that mean Irisviel will also save those people?

"Golden Gilgamesh." Thinking of this, Su Mo turned to look at Golden Gilgamesh and said.

"..." Gilgamesh glared at Su Mo, probably deeply affected by the gender-bending, and finally refrained from saying anything like "This bastard has no right to look me in the eye."

“Irisviel took away the perverted priest, who is now your Master. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be resurrected soon, and then you will become his dog,” Su Mo said.

Jin Shanshan turned around, walked up to Su Mo, and looked directly into his face: "Who are you, and what do you mean by that?"

"You understand the literal meaning, don't you?" Su Mo said, glancing down at the now-transformed, golden armor, and said with a half-smile, "Don't you want revenge and just let it go like this?"

A halo appeared behind Jin Shanshan, and the Lock of Heaven instantly appeared, circling around Su Mo's body like a venomous snake, before its sharp tip pressed against Su Mo's back.

With just a thought from Jin Shanshan, the Lock of Heaven could instantly tighten, completely trapping Su Mo, and then piercing his heart.

"I have one of these too."

Faced with Gilgamesh's threat, Su Mo calmly raised his left hand. The tip of the concentric chain on it had somehow already pressed against Gilgamesh's chest armor, constantly shifting between reality and illusion.

"I still have eight Italian cannons left..."

Li Yunlong's voice came from behind Jin Shanshan. Eight Italian cannons were aimed at Jin Shanshan, two of which had been destroyed in the chase between him and Jin Shanshan earlier.

However, if all eight gates are activated simultaneously, the power is still astonishing.

"So, are you interested in cooperating with us? We have the same goal. Of course, if you don't mind being gender-bent or like this look, then forget it," Su Mo said.

"Cooperate?" Jin Shanshan sneered, about to say, "What right do you bunch of trash have to cooperate with me?" But then he thought of Li Yunlong from earlier and the strange treasure on this mysterious guy in front of him.

It seems that these people are not weaklings, and treating them as his subordinates would not be an insult to him.

Yes, in Gilgamesh's eyes, the world is basically divided into two types of people: those who are qualified to be his subjects and those who are not even qualified to be his subjects. Moreover, the second type makes up the majority.

Being recognized or allowed to serve as a subject is the greatest praise one can receive.

"Heh..." Gilgamesh chuckled arrogantly, put away the Chains of Heaven, and looked at Kiritsugu Emiya. "Come here. I hope you're more interesting than Tokiomi Tohsaka."

With two Servants and one Master before him, Gilgamesh naturally assumed he should sign a new contract with Kiritsugu Emiya.

“It’s not him. You sign a contract with me,” Su Mo said.

"You?" Gilgamesh was taken aback.

“Who says a Heroic Spirit can’t become a Master of Heroic Spirits?” Su Mo said. “Sign a contract with me, and no matter what happens, if the Holy Grail has a problem, unless I’m no longer in this world, you can continue to live in the mortal world.”

Kiritsugu Emiya has now severed his connection with Artoria, but he still has some contact with Su Mo and Li Yunlong.

The Holy Grail and Irisviel are currently in a very strange state; who knows if they will continue to supply the magical power that allows the Heroic Spirits to exist in the mortal world.

If Su Mo, Li Yunlong, and Gilgamesh all need Kiritsugu Emiya to provide magic power, this man might be drained dry in the next second, dying from exhaustion like Kariya Matou.

The Holy Grail War has now become a complete mess, and no one knows where the story will go next. As a local and Su Mo's Master, Kiritsugu Emiya is someone Su Mo would never allow to die.

Therefore, signing a contract with Su Mo is the best choice. Even if Irisviel cuts off the magic at that time, the large number of souls stored in Su Mo's body can allow Gilgamesh to stay in the mortal world and become a great help to him.

Finally, we ate this guy.

It's a perfect plan, the only problem is whether Gilgamesh is willing.

Gilgamesh didn't have much time to think. After Kirei Kotomine was resurrected, he would either be controlled by Command Seals for a period of time or die directly.

Gilgamesh wasn't that concerned about death, but as a proud king, being gender-bent and unable to retaliate, only to leave in disgrace, was something he couldn't tolerate.

Gilgamesh didn't really have a choice, unless she gave up her pride.

As for signing a contract, since he is a Heroic Spirit, it's not a big deal in Gilgamesh's eyes. She won't feel any humiliation from being enslaved. Otherwise, she wouldn't have signed a contract with Kirei Kotomine and become his Servant.

Looking at the Command Seal pattern of two intertwined chains on the back of her hand, Su Mo glanced at Gilgamesh with a strange look, as if wondering if she had truly been completely feminized...

"You dare?" Jin Shanshan glared at Su Mo, seemingly sensing the ill intentions Su Mo was hiding.

"Sigh, let's talk about it later. Let's go and rest for a bit first."

Since it was only the beginning of their cooperation, Su Mo refrained from any actions that might cause Jin Shanshan to immediately turn against them.

So much happened that night that it was overwhelming, and most people couldn't even keep up. Now, Irisviel and the others have disappeared, and there's no rush to find them.

Su Mo felt it was better to rest. At least, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been injured by Gilgamesh and had been holding on until now, definitely needed a good rest.

The next day, Jin Shanshan appeared in casual clothes, looking like a nouveau riche with a big gold chain around her neck and gold bracelets on her wrists. If it weren't for her handsome appearance... no, now she's beautiful and has a noble air, she would definitely be looked down upon if she went out dressed like that.

Now... when Gilgamesh appears, he only receives envious and infatuated glances.

Holding his wine glass and gently swirling the red wine inside, Jin Shanshan looked at Su Mo, who was also sitting on the sofa, and said, "In terms of quality of life, I agree with you."

"Thank you," Su Mo replied casually, but he wasn't really happy to be praised like that by Jin Shanshan.

“You should have been more pleased with my praise,” Jin Shanshan said, frowning, clearly sensing Su Mo’s perfunctory attitude.

Su Mo glanced at Jin Shanshan and suddenly asked, "I'm a little curious, how do you, with your personality, become friends with people?"

"I have never needed friends." Gilgamesh's reply was as arrogant as his personality.

“Enkidu?” Su Mo said a name.

Gilgamesh's expression changed slightly, then he chuckled, "This is the only friend I acknowledge. By the way, you're a Heroic Spirit too, right?" To be honest, Gilgamesh was also somewhat curious about the Heroic Spirit before him.

I have a feeling that this heroic spirit seems to know quite a lot.

“Yes,” Su Mo said.

"So what was your identity before?" Jin Shanshan asked. As a king, he was very interested in the aura that Su Mo occasionally revealed, which was no less than his own.

That aura wasn't the domineering and bandit-like air of Li Yunlong, nor the powerful charisma and forthrightness of the Conqueror King, nor the feeling of the lonely and heavy journey of the king of Artoria carrying his dreams.

Su Mo brought to Jin Shanshan a feeling that was very similar to her own: a sense of entitlement, indifference, and nonchalance towards most things.

The only difference is that Gilgamesh unabashedly displays this temperament, often making himself seem like a grumpy, immature person. Su Mo, on the other hand, hides it very well, only occasionally revealing it in his sharp tongue.

“Wang Aiguo, an elite agent of the Special Operations Bureau.” Su Mo nodded to Jin Shanshan.

"Is the Secret Service very powerful?" Gilgamesh asked.
