With a "pfft," Gilgamesh spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body transformed into a cannonball, plunging heavily into the wall.

Hercules followed closely behind Gilgamesh, and more than half of the Einzbern Castle was reduced to ruins. Thousands of golden ripples crackled as they projected their Noble Phantasms, focusing their attacks on Gilgamesh.

With a clanging sound, the golden chains transformed into a fishing net, guarding Gilgamesh.

Hercules looked warily at the golden chains in front of him, and was about to retreat with Ilya when a loud rumble sounded.

The surge of magical power unleashed by the crimson magic sword tore the body of the great hero Hercules to shreds.

"No, no! Berserker...!" Tears streamed down Ilya's face as she looked at the vanishing Hercules with immense sorrow.

The heartbroken Ilya also had her heart taken away by the disheveled Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh wore a humiliated expression, almost causing his own demise.

Emiya Shirou watched this scene angrily, brandishing his sword and sword, and roared as he tried to rush forward, but was stopped by the Gate of Babylon.

Lying in a pool of blood, Ilya touched the stone beside her, the place where Berserker had once been.

"Even if it's pitch black, I won't be afraid. Because Berserker is strong, and having him by my side like this makes me feel safe."

You've always protected me. Although I was afraid at times, you're so gentle, with a strong and imposing presence, just like a father.

Just once is enough, I really want you to pick me up.

Having lost too much blood, her body grew cold, and she recalled what had happened with Berserker in the snow-covered forest.

She held Hercules' hand as they walked together through the cold, snowy landscape.

Fate/stay night, UBW timeline.

Einzbern Castle.

"Eek! Gold Pikachu! That hateful Gold Pikachu, what kind of Noble Phantasm is that?! How can it directly destroy Berserker's Noble Phantasm?!"

Watching the defeated Berserker vanish, Illya gritted her teeth in anger, pointing at Gilgamesh, "Now that I knew about your Noble Phantasm beforehand, I won't lose to you, you despicable bastard, next time!"

"It's all my fault for holding Berserker back. Otherwise, Kim Pikachu would have no chance against Berserker."

"That's right! That despicable scoundrel, who calls himself a king, used his Noble Phantasm entirely against Illya, forcing Heracles to keep defending and missing the chance to kill him with one blow."

Jason clenched his fists, watching the screen with immense resentment as he witnessed Berserker's defeat.

Jason felt frustrated and resentful at his defeat!

He had forgotten the feeling of his own defeat in the Third Singularity. But the one thing he couldn't accept was Hercules' defeat.

"I see... Ilya, you are the Lesser Grail. Your heart, or rather your body, is one of the vessels of the Grail."

In other words... even if Ilya wins the Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family magicians will betray you and turn you into the Holy Grail!

Jason stood up and leaned against Hercules. "Brother, I know what you're planning."

"But first, we need to clean up this place."

He wore a cold yet radiant smile; he was ruthless towards his enemies, but he had to maintain a radiant smile towards his comrades.

This is what the captain of the Argo should do.

"..." Hercules nodded slightly, his eyes, still retaining a semblance of rationality, looked at his dearest friend, and raised his fist to clash with Jason's.

He grabbed Jason and jumped off the third-floor balcony, joining Jason in annihilating the Einzbern family's magician.

Sera watched Jason and Hercules disappear into the room with a complicated expression.

She is feeling very conflicted right now.

His orders were to protect the young lady and assist her in winning the Holy Grail War.

But those magicians who create themselves are their own masters in contract.

But when she thought about Jason's words, she realized they must be true—the magician who created her and the young lady. He was just using the young lady as a prop, to be discarded once he was done with her.

"I am the guardian of the young lady."

"My lord... I will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen."

Ryudong Temple.

With a loud bang, the floor cracked, and Atalanta stared at the screen, furious. What Dark Pikachu Gilgamesh had done had directly exposed her sore spot.

Harming Ilya, who was still a child, was something Atalanta absolutely could not tolerate.

"A beast who harms children dares to call himself a king?!"

"Calm down, calm down, Atalanta, Atalanta! Ilya is still alive and well, you still have a chance to protect the child."

Fantasy carnival world.

Gilgamesh frowned, looking at his other self with utter disgust. "A counterfeit bastard, merely resembling me and possessing extremely similar traits. This bastard could never be me."

If he were to fight Hercules, he would certainly be unable to produce the Star of Divergence.

He would never use his Noble Phantasm against Illya to force Heracles to defend himself. By resorting to such despicable and shameless behavior, he had already indicated that the being named Gilgamesh had lost.

The real Gilgamesh could not have done that.

Only a counterfeit Gilgamesh would do such a thing.

"Whoa, Jill is right!!! That Jill must be an imposter. The Jill I know is definitely not like that!"

The boy who often played with Gilgamesh held a soccer ball in his hand and looked at the black-hearted Gilgamesh with disgust.

"That's right, that's right, this is definitely a fake Jill!! What a despicable guy who looks like Jill and does bad things. Jill always lends me his comic books. How could such a kind and gentle older brother like Jill possibly hurt Ilya!"

A boy who often shared comic books with Gilgamesh said.

The girl holding the shuttlecock pointed at the fake Gilgamesh in the picture and said, "I don't know who created this fake Gilgamesh. It's so shameful to do such a thing! Hurting innocent little girls."

"The Jill I like is definitely not like that! He's a handsome, rich, and dazzlingly handsome guy!"

"Exactly! If Gilles were here, the Holy Grail War would have been over long ago!! The Gilles we know isn't this weak or this pathetic!" Jiro said, waving his little fist.

Listening to the children's words, Gilgamesh's face lit up with an incredibly bright smile, and he pointed at the shopping mall with his right hand on his hip:

"Haha ...

"That's right! If I were truly here, those watchdogs, bootleggers, roly-poly toys, and those stupid long-eared fools would have already been defeated by my glory! Haha ...

Gilgamesh, dressed in his custom-made, luxurious attire, smiled radiantly and said:

"Kamen Rider is showing at the cinema today, and I've booked the entire theater! Let's go, kids! After the movie, there'll be a feast befitting my status!"

"Haha ...

This is the real Gilgamesh.

Surrounded by children, Kim Pikachu was the one with a happy, bright smile on his face.

Archer, who was buying things at the fishing shop in the mall, turned ashen-faced and was in immense pain, wishing he could fight Gilgamesh right now.

47. The Fake Gilgamesh, Shirou Emiya's Confession

The Emiya family.

"Whoa, this guy is so rude!! He shamelessly pulled out his cheat weapon." Rin Tohsaka pointed at the oldest version of Gilgamesh.

"Ah... this Gilgamesh in this world is excessively amazing. It's just too... unsettling."

"Huh—! Is this really Mr. Gilgamesh?? He's always been so generous when he eats at hotels, restaurants, and cafes. How did he end up like this?" Fujimura Taiga had even stayed up all night drinking with Gilgamesh several times.

The Gilgamesh she knew was a monstrous being, and he always had that word on his lips.

However, Gilgamesh is a character that is very popular with children.

Every child in the town knows Gilgamesh and has a good relationship with him.

Mr. Gilgamesh, just like a king of children, could easily be mistaken for a kindergarten teacher.

Shirou Emiya sighed deeply in the kitchen, realizing how different he was from the Gilgamesh he knew.

He saw absolutely no regal bearing in Gilgamesh as depicted in the image.

Do people from different worlds have such drastically different personalities?

Really...

The young Gilgamesh shook his head speechlessly, "Foolish, so incredibly foolish. How could I have such a wicked and despicable personality? Ah... ah... This is such a headache, such a headache."

Artoria expressed that she was incompatible with this world.

In this world, Medea might at most take a candid photo of herself and send herself some cute clothes or something.

He wouldn't dare to hold himself hostage...

Just kidding, the Command Seals are useless against her. She has a special ability: by plucking the ahoge (cowlick) from her forehead, she can forcibly change her class.

Even the effects of a contract can be reversed!

"Waaaaaah, Kimihiro!! You just wait and see!" Illya transformed...

The little lion tore at the sheets and angrily pounded the mattress, "Berserker can't possibly lose."

You despicable Gilgamesh, how could you possibly defeat my Berserker!

"It's all those idiot magicians in the family's hands' fault for turning Berserker into this. Otherwise, Berserker would never have been defeated by a mere Golden P.E.K.K.A.!!"

The Kyushu Lostbelt, Chen Gong, and Red Hare timeline.

"I see. Gilgamesh used the Chains of Heaven and the Gate of Babylon to give himself time to draw his Noble Phantasm, Ea. He then used a violent projection of magical energy to tear Heracles' body apart."

"What a troublesome Noble Phantasm! It deploys extremely quickly and has various other Noble Phantasms to buy me time."

Chen Gong stroked his chin, looking at Gilgamesh in the scene who had almost been killed:

"A very wise decision. Knowing that their overall strength was far inferior to Hercules', they targeted Ilya, who provided magic to Hercules, from the very beginning."

Once Illya is dealt with, Hercules' expended magical energy will soon vanish from the mortal realm. It seems that resorting to his trump card was a last resort.

"The overwhelming barrage of Noble Phantasms looks exaggerated, but it's actually just average. How could Hercules possibly not be able to stop it at that speed?" Leonardo da Vinci said.

Fujimaru Ritsuka believes that if it were the real Gilgamesh, he would definitely use the Chains of Heaven in combination with other Noble Phantasms to attack Heracles immediately.

This world's knock-off Gilgamesh is really too weak.

He was nowhere near as powerful as Gilgamesh, whom I had encountered in the Seventh Singularity.

....................

....................

Emiya Shirou carried Illya's now-cold body out of the castle, a look of grief on his face.

He jumped down without hesitation and appeared in front of Gilgamesh.

He was determined to save Ilya at all costs.

In the end, they still couldn't save him.

He hates this kind of thing.

I hate seeing children die in front of me.

"I don't want to see anyone die in front of me."

It's heartbreaking to see people before you yearning for salvation but not being saved...

Rin Tohsaka stood behind Shirou Emiya, her expression complex and her heart aching as she watched his retreating figure.

The girl in front of him had absolutely no relation to Emiya Shirou.

But he still chose to save him, completely disregarding his own life, watching the tears streaming down Shirou Emiya's face.

Rin Tohsaka could no longer hold back and asked, "Why?"

You should understand the consequences of showing up in front of that guy, right?

But why did you want to save Ilya? No matter the outcome, Ilya is our enemy. Why are you so saddened by this child's death?

Rin Tohsaka looked at Shirou Emiya with a sorrowful expression.

She didn't want what happened to Archer to happen to Shirou Emiya again.

"—There's no reason why, I just wanted to save her. I only stood up because I wanted to save her."
