Gilgamesh asked in disbelief.

"No, it's more complicated, but I won't explain. You can understand that she is the new Avenger, and I have retired. Of course, the Holy Grail War continues, and even though I am no longer a Servant, I am still your competitor."

It's just a change of name, but they are still enemies in essence.

"I see. Although it's a little confusing, it's not important. Then, you'll be the one to choose the location for the banquet. Is that okay, Shen Yuan?"

"Okay, no problem."

The venue for the banquet was finally chosen to be the Einzbern Villa in Fuyuki City.

The villa was now empty, but the grounds were large enough, far away from the city, and provided with fine wine and delicious food. The courtyard, beautifully maintained by Einzbern's android maids, did not look shabby at all for entertaining guests.

"Come all over!"

Rider took the initiative and stacked many barrels together and carried them over.

The three Servants sat down face to face and confronted each other leisurely. Waver sat trembling at the children's table. Black Jeanne d'Arc sat by the moonlit pond, holding the Banner of Vengeance, watching the scene boredly. She seemed to have no idea what was so interesting about a few men sitting together drinking.

"Back then, I conquered continents and rivers one after another..."

As they drank, the King of Conquerors began to discuss his past great achievements.

"Your level is nothing! Compared to mine, it's still a little bit behind!"

Not wanting to be outdone, the Hero King also began to talk about his history.

"What about you? Shen Yuan, what great feats have you accomplished?"

The two kings looked over at the same time.

"I?"

Shen Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "As Mordekaiser, I created the Noxian Empire... no, the Empire of the Undead, perhaps. I once conquered several nations in another world, defeating undead dragonlords whose breath could destroy nations. I'm also known as the Lich King, and I established a kingdom in the afterlife amidst the ice and snow. Humans fear me, and the undead bow to me, submitting to me equally. The dead are mine, and the living follow. Thus, I founded the legion known as the Scourge."

"The Scourge's army, are they the same armies we saw in the inherent barrier?"

"I have some skills, but that's all."

Gilgamesh slightly recognized the fighting power of the Scourge Legion. After all, they were able to force him to use the "Sword of Separation".

"Is that so? I once considered myself a great conqueror, striving my entire life to enter the eternal Hall of Heroes. But only after death did I realize how petty, pathetic, and mere mortal ambition that was. But now it's different. I will become the master of the underworld, the human world, and the spiritual realm, the king who rules over all three realms! What about you? You certainly won't accept your own death as the final outcome, will you? After you obtain the Holy Grail, what do you plan to do?"

"Of course, first I need a physical body, and then I can bring my king's army to the world!"

"Same as above. You must first have a physical body before you can enjoy the joys of family and take all the treasures in the world for yourself!"

"Ahahahaha!"

If it weren't for the cruel rules of the Holy Grail War, they might all realize their dreams.

"but!"

Rider drank the wine in his spoon first, and then spoke.

"I heard that only those who are qualified can obtain the Holy Grail."

The serious tone made the atmosphere quiet instantly.

"And the ceremony that selects the worthy individual is the so-called Holy Grail War. If we were merely observing, there would be no need for bloodshed. However, as fellow Heroic Spirits, we are already familiar with each other's abilities. There's no need for me to elaborate further."

"Then let's have a true battle in the name of 'King'. Rider, who do you want to fight the most?"

Shen Yuan also drank it all in one gulp, put the glass down, and looked at the two people in front of him.

"If you must put it that way. Archer, what do you think?"

The King of Conquerors suddenly looked at the King of Heroes, while Gilgamesh savored his wine carefully. He then said in a cold voice, "I want to avenge that sword strike, and my target is naturally you—Shen Yuan!"

"Archer, honestly I admire your stubbornness."

Shen Yuan looked forward, his eyes flickering slightly beneath his armor as he spoke, "But you are no match for me. If I were to use my true trump card, it would be a force that would even alarm my 'inhibition force'. Your Noble Phantasm may be powerful, but you only have one chance, while I have at least three."

"Are you kidding me? I'm going to lose? Ha! What a joke!"

Just as Archer was about to get angry, another voice came from outside.

"I'm so sorry, it seems like the timing of my visit is a bit wrong." A humble voice sounded, and Saber appeared at the door.

"Oh, Saber! You're just in time!"

Rider's eyes lit up, and then he said, "Who do you think is stronger between the two of them?"

"this......"

Saber didn't expect to be asked to make a choice right away. She immediately looked around for help, and then her eyes fell on Black Jeanne d'Arc.

"what!"

The moment they saw Black Jeanne d'Arc, both the other party and she were a little surprised.

It's like seeing yourself in the mirror.

Apart from their hair color and eyes, their face shapes are extremely similar, as if they were 0.2 of themselves in the mirror.

"Hello, I am the King of Ancient Britain, Altria Pendragon."

"Joan of Arc Alter."

Black Jeanne doesn't seem to like British people very much.

However, since the two were not from the same era, and Joan of Arc had also heard the story of the Knight King, the unexpected reason at this time was that the other party was not the legendary man, but a girl.

"It's over, a fight is about to begin!"

Weber looked inside in panic at this moment, he knew this would happen.

"Haha, I think Shen Yuan is stronger!"

Rider exaggerated, then continued, "And this king has the most powerful vehicle, so Archer, you may not be my opponent! At most, you'll be ranked third!"

"Miscellaneous cultivator, do not use your thoughts to measure my strength!" Archer, clad in golden armor, gazed proudly at Rider with ruby eyes. "As for mounts, this king possesses the most outstanding throne in the world!"

Gilgamesh does have the royal throne "Vimana", a boat of light made of gold and emeralds that can soar in the sky. It uses mercury as fuel to drive the energy of the sun crystal and can fly at high speeds regardless of the laws of physics.

It has powerful attack power, is equipped with various treasure systems, and even has excellent weapons such as ancient nuclear bombs.

"Then let's have a competition!"

Rider, who looked like a red-haired gorilla, also became angry and shouted, "Shen Yuan, go play with that little British girl! Only one of Archer and I can survive today!"

"I return this sentence to you as it is! Miscellaneous cultivator!" Gilgamesh also revealed a dangerous smile: "You little human over there, block all your Command Seals on your Servant, or someone will die!"

"It seems they are serious."

(ps The decisive battle will begin in the next chapter.)

Chapter 158: Final Battle! Interference of Restraining Force!

"What a boast!"

Not only Shen Yuan was speechless, but everyone present was speechless.

Archer's actions were what he took for granted as the oldest hero king who looked down upon the world.

But in the eyes of outsiders, this way of expression is too stupid.

"Haha, how should I put it."

Unlike Saber, Jeanne d'Arc found it quite interesting: "Being able to decide which opponent they want to conquer and surpass under the cruel stage of the Holy Grail War, and to have an open and honest duel without interference from others, is a kind of happiness for them."

"Does the Emperor really think so?"

Waver, standing by, also immediately began to listen intently, but Rider also gave him a look. Judging from his smile, he wasn't truly angry, but rather genuinely wanted to see who would win against the King of Heroes.

Although Archer was arrogant, he did not take advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

"When you are ready, let's begin the decisive battle!"

A figure in golden armor sat high up on it, looking like he was ready to start fighting at any time.

"The Hero King, Gilgamesh, king of the Babylonian civilization, one of the oldest in human history, was once a legendary king possessing the wealth of the world. Ultimately, he lost his beloved friend, Enkidu, due to his rebellion against the gods. Feeling the fragility and weakness of the human body, he embarked on a quest for the elixir of immortality. After enduring numerous hardships, Gilgamesh finally obtained the elixir. Unfortunately, a greedy snake stole it. Having lost his immortality, he lamented his passing."

On the other side, Shen Yuan slowly told Black Jeanne d'Arc, Saber and others about Archer's identity and past story.

"So that's it..."

The others were all moved. They didn't expect that the guy who looked so arrogant actually had such a past.

"Miscellaneous cultivator, who allowed you to reveal my past?"

Hearing Shen Yuan's revelation, Archer suddenly looked over, with uncontrollable murderous intent in his eyes.

"History won't change, and it's almost the 21st century now. Your dynasty is no longer the one that reigns supreme."

“Perhaps we are all just passers-by in history, temporarily present in this world to satisfy the wishes of modern people.”

Sabe10r added on the side.

"Hurry up and fight! The sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn! Hurry to the next Holy Grail War in an unknown era!"

Black Jeanne didn't think so. She was one of the few Servants who could retain her own memories, and she also knew that the heroic spirits who died in the Holy Grail War might be summoned again in some future era.

...

Near the church.

"I didn't expect that it would be you."

Kotomine Kirei turned his back to the darkness and felt the cold muzzle of a gun behind him.

"...Archer's not here, this is a good opportunity."

At some point, Emiya Kiritsugu appeared near Kotomine Kirei. It seemed that when he heard that Saber was attending the banquet, he realized that this was a good opportunity.

"Don't you think I'm not surprised at all?"

Kirei turned around, as if interrupting Kiritsugu's attempt to pull the trigger.

"What do you mean?"

"The decisive battle between Rider and Archer is about to begin."

Kirei looked at Kiritsugu calmly, then said, "Who do you think will win?"

"who is it?"

Kiritsugu had a puzzled look in his eyes, as if he didn't understand what Kirei was planning.

"It's Archer."

Kirei's shoulders trembled, as if he were laughing, and he immediately burst into a joyful laugh: "Don't you think this is very interesting? Hahahaha, the Holy Grail War, a killing game of life and death, but from the very beginning, this war was not a fair competition!"

"This is incomprehensible! What on earth do you want to say?"

Kiritsugu gripped his pistol tightly, staring intently at Kirei. Then Kirei took a deep breath and said, "You go use the 'Self-Enforcement Certificate' on Lancer's Master, and have him force Lancer to commit suicide in the name of the Command Spell. After that, kidnap someone named Irisviel. Finally, after you get rid of Avenger, it will only be you and me."

The words have not yet fallen.

Kiritsugu understood Kirei's intention, but he did not agree.

"How about this? Or you kill me now, and then fight Avenger and the others on your own. Do you think you have a better chance of success this way, or by cooperating with me?"

Kirei turned around and began reading a book, as if he had no concerns at all about Kiritsugu killing him.

“Maiya, stop.”

Emiya Kiritsugu spoke into the radio, then retracted his pistol and said coldly, "I will kill you with my own hands!"

"Let's wait until you come back."

Kotomine Kirei said with a smile. He was very confident in his own physical skills. At that distance, he was sure that he could forcibly transfer Archer back before the opponent killed him. In this way, Emiya Kiritsugu would have no chance of winning.

Therefore, after realizing this, Emiya Kiritsugu had no choice but to passively accept Kotomine Kirei's advice. Although he had the initiative, it was the opponent who ultimately gained the advantage.

It's good advice though.

After Lancer's death, Rider exits the stage.

There are only three heroic spirits left!

Of course, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't know about the appearance of Ruler and Black Jeanne, and Kotomine Kirei didn't tell him the news, but that's all for later.

Because Ruler's target is Shen Yuan.

At this time, Shen Yuan also found his opponent - Saber.
