Guarding beside them were Kotomine and his sons, Risei and Kirei.

Kirei stared intently at the holy relic placed on the altar.

At first glance, it looks like a fragment of a mummy, but it is actually said to be the fossil of a snake that shed its skin for the first time in the world in the ancient times.

Toosaka Tokiomi is already prepared. The one he is going to summon will be the strongest of all the servants, the one that will win the victory once successfully summoned!

But, for some reason, Kotomine Kirei could not feel the element of happiness. This guy is still so unhappy!

Emptiness, nothingness, or the feeling that none of this matters.

His eyes were very empty, and for some reason, he felt the back of his hand was hot and scalding.

He couldn't help but touch the back of his hand. The mark with three bright red holy marks was emitting a strange heat.

This was probably a phenomenon caused by resonance with magic power, Kotomine Kirei thought so, but this empty priest still did not have much practical feeling about this personal matter.

His father’s teachings, his teachers’ instruction, God’s grace, all of these were good, but he could not feel any sense of the reality of what he had done. After all, wasn’t all of this meaningless?

He could not get answers from the teachings, nor could he find meaning in the teachings. As for God's gift? He had never felt it before.

Just like this war, the reason he participated was just to serve as a cushion for Tohsaka Tokiomi, and all he had to do was to ensure the victory of the Tohsaka family.

It's boring, all of this is boring.

Looking at Tōsaka Tokiomi chanting the summoning spell, an idea suddenly emerged in Kotomine Kirei's mind.

If he could win this war, or destroy Tōsaka Tokiomi's dream of obtaining the Holy Grail, it would definitely be a very interesting experience.

It wasn't for victory, nor was it for the wish to fulfill one's own desires after obtaining the Holy Grail... It was purely the strange feeling that came from the thought of destroying the hope that a person had worked hard for his whole life.

Maybe it's just... pleasure?

"The spirit of the three great words that entangle you comes from the wheel of restraint, guardian of Libra! Ending his prayer with these words, Tōsaka Tokiomi felt that the magic power flowing through his body had accelerated to its limit.

There were thunder and lightning, and the wind and clouds were rolling.

In the wind pressure that prevented Kotomine Kirei and the others from even opening their eyes, the summoning pattern shone with brilliant light.

Finally, the circuit in the magic circle was connected to the place in the otherworld. From the dazzling light that continued to overflow, a golden standing figure appeared. Being overwhelmed by the majesty, Father Risei could not help but uttered a selfless muttering.

"We win, Kirei. We won this battle!"

There were sounds of joy and excitement, and Toosaka Tokiomi felt a strong sense of exhaustion after the excitement. He had been under too much pressure during this period.

First of all, Matou, who is also one of the three great families, suddenly died, and Sakura's whereabouts are unknown.

Then the destruction of the Clock Tower caused chaos in the entire Western European magic circle... and the whole city was in turmoil, as if World War III was about to break out at any time.

But for Tōsaka Tokiomi, he didn't care whether a war would break out or whether many people would die... He only cared about the simple and pure purpose of whether he could realize the long-cherished wish of his ancestors.

Now it seems that he has succeeded.

"Are you the one who summoned me? Zaxiu."

The arrogant and completely unceremonious words, the golden Heroic Spirit in front of him was undoubtedly the Golden King that Tōsaka Tokiomi wanted to summon, Gilgamesh...

And Tōsaka Tokiomi, who had probably already prepared himself to face the attitudes of these ancient kings, immediately acted like a subject and said respectfully...

"My king, it was your humble servant, Tōsaka Tokiomi, who rashly summoned you to participate in this hunt."

"Hunting? Haha, that's a good point."

Gilgamesh's mouth curled up slightly, and when he saw Tohsaka Tokiomi's face, which looked as if everyone owed him millions, he softened a little.

Tōsaka Tokiomi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and used the power bestowed upon the Master by the Holy Grail to observe Gilgamesh's attributes. However, the result of the reflection——stupefied him.

Because the Hero King he summoned was not the upper third rank as he had imagined. In fact, his rank was totally inconsistent with Toosaka Tokiomi's perception of him.

Gilgamesh's job is -

"Caster?"

The surprised Tōsaka Tokiomi even shouted out loud, because the hero king he expected should be Archer at the very least!

Also, is it true that the heroic king in the Epic of Gilgamesh was a magician?

Gilgamesh's eyebrows raised slightly, and then his expression became a little surprised.

Perhaps he had never thought that with his own character or his current appearance, he would have the opportunity to descend as Caster, and—

It seems that all the abilities and treasures he possessed during his lifetime have been unlocked.

From the Omniscient Star to the King's Treasury, from EA to the Sword of Ending Enki - although most of the time he would carry these treasures with him regardless of his class...

But this time, even the conditions for opening and using it are almost not met, and he can release all his power and use it at almost no cost.

And just speaking from the attributes, he is even in a state of being "enhanced"... Even if he descends as a heroic spirit, he can be said to be in a blessed state!

Not only that, in addition to these preferential treatments, he was even blessed with a——

"Grand?" Gilgamesh was really shocked this time, but this was not a happy surprise, but a frown with an indescribable huge dissatisfaction!

The crown can be seen as a qualification for a Heroic Spirit, and only servants at the top of the seven major classes are eligible to be crowned.

But strictly speaking, this is just a blessing BUFF. There is no fixed crown servant. Servant with crown rank can only be granted when needed.

So strictly speaking, even if you are not in your current job, you can still be given the power of a crown... but the chances of this happening are infinitesimally close to zero...

Gilgamesh, who already has the qualifications to hold the top rank of Caster, knows...

This might sound like a cool thing, but it's just a weapon to throw out to the cleaners who do their dirty work.

The awarding of a crown is not something to be honored at all...

This is just evidence that you are the best thug in the hands of the suppression force.

Generally speaking, being given a crown is equivalent to...

This time he came down from the Throne of Heroes to do the dirty work!

Gilgamesh's originally good mood was ruined in an instant, and his handsome face instantly turned gloomy.

Being a rebellious person by nature, he was not willing to accept the instructions of the restraining force, not to mention that he was almost "tricked" off his seat!

But after realizing that this matter was not simple and that he was very likely to fail, Gilgamesh no longer cared about Tōsaka Tokiomi who was cautious beside him, and directly opened his clairvoyance to observe the world.

Although he was very reluctant to work for the inhibitory force, he at least had to know where his enemy was, who he was, and what he should do.

Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was ignored by his Servant, looked extremely embarrassed... But Kotomine Kirei, who was standing next to him, suddenly squatted down in pain... And his father Risho, who was standing next to him, immediately helped him up...

"Kirei, what's wrong with you?"

"Father, it seems that... the Command Seal is activating."

Kotomine Kirei raised his right hand, and the bright red Command Seal on the back of his hand glowed like hot wrought iron... and then, right inside the magic circle from which Gilgamesh had emerged -

The surging, terrifying, shining electric current continued to boil and surge, and then, a figure appeared in it!

Astonishment! At this moment, no one, including Kotomine Kirei, could have anticipated this sudden situation. This sudden scene happened without any signs!

Even Gilgamesh couldn't help but frown and look away—

However, the one who appeared in the summoning circle was neither the scheduled Assassin Hassan nor any other servant, or rather... he looked so recognizable!

His shoulder-length curly golden hair fell behind his head, and his sturdy figure, about two meters tall, was wrapped in a white linen robe.

He has a heroic face that looks a bit like an Oriental but is of mixed blood. He is silent, without any murderous aura or intimidating force, yet he can give people an extraordinary feeling.

Standing tall and upright, he just stood there motionless, but gave people an indescribable sense of reverence.

Although he didn't look like the Son of God in the Bible story at all... not only was his hair golden, but his body was also too burly...

He was so big and strong that it seemed like he could have jumped off the cross and killed the Romans with one fucking punch!

He didn't wear thorns, he didn't walk on water, he didn't look like the Son of God in any form of Catholicism!

But for some reason, when he appeared there, he gave people a strong illusion -

Sacred, great, noble!

It was as if it was the greatness that bore the suffering of the world, as if it was the incarnation of the Lord.

He is the saint, he is Jesus, he is the Christ, he is the Messiah, he is the one who will come on the day of judgment...

It even gave believers like Kotomine Kirei and his son a strong urge to kneel down.

The Lord has come here.

17. The King of Babylon vs. Jesus Christ

At this moment, the "Servant" who suddenly appeared did not speak. This man who looked like Jesus Christ just walked out of the summoning circle and looked at everyone without saying a word. In this silent moment, it added a damn solemnity to the awkward atmosphere.

Gilgamesh felt a huge pressure.

Although he would never admit it, he felt a fatal pressure from the man in front of him.

He narrowed his eyes and activated the Noble Phantasm of the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star, but it did not give him any useful information.

Yes, not at all. This treasure that he was so proud of, which was sublimated from his spirit during his lifetime, was actually completely useless?

There are only two possibilities... Either the opponent's inherent skill of concealing information is also EX level, or... he is an "Alien".

Yes, the ability possessed by the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star is not to see the future, that is his ability of clairvoyance.

But as one of Gilgamesh's most useful treasures... this thing is just a cheat that directly reveals people's cards in a normal Holy Grail War.

Not to mention being a Servant, as long as you are still a person within the Earth, all your information will be completely exposed under the effect of this treasure!

But would Gilgamesh be a person who treats others well just because he feels pressure and threat? No, it is absolutely impossible! The King of Heroes will always be a proud person!

He is so proud that people think he is mentally handicapped.

"Kirei! Is this the Servant you summoned? Can you see his real name?"

As if sensing Gilgamesh's dangerous attitude, Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was in a state of panic, immediately intervened to smooth things over, and at the same time used his eyes to signal the Command Seals in Kotomine Kirei's hand -

If things are impossible and a Servant who cannot be controlled is summoned, then use the Command Spell to kill him here and there!

However, Kotomine Kirei ignored his master. He and his father stared at the "Jesus" in front of them, their expressions excited and confused.

Their instinct made them not believe that the person in front of them was the "Lord" they respected, but...

Even if they don't want to believe it, they will never blaspheme it! Because even if it just gives them such a feeling, attacking the target of their own beliefs, or even wanting to kill him, such an evil act...

Talking nonsense is an atrocity that a believer cannot possibly do!

Even Kotomine Kirei was the same, even though he did not have much devout faith in the Lord, even though this part of his soul was as empty as a void...but the existence in front of him gave Kirei an indescribable curiosity and expectation!

If he is truly the Lord, then as a follower of the Lord, can I find something that can fill the emptiness in my soul?

"Miscellaneous cultivator, where on earth did you get this thing?"

With an extremely arrogant attitude, Gilgamesh did not try to hide his superiority. He decisively started his hostile speech and sneered...

"Don't tell me you're really that Monotheist kid. I've never seen him, but I'm sure he can't be summoned. Even if you replace this shabby Holy Grail with his real one, it won't work!"

Even though Gilgamesh cannot be said to know everything on the Throne of Heroes...but as a TOP target servant and the top ceiling, he also understands many "inside stories" that ordinary servants do not know.

The object of faith of the monotheistic religion, the “dove”, really exists…

In fact, the source of the "baptism chant"-like magic used by the Holy Church today is him. He can be said to be a god, but he is definitely much stronger than those rubbish in Babylon!

The gods on Earth are divided into many different categories according to regions, from Gaia's tentacles to alien mechas to alien bacteria... but without exception, they can never be the opponent of this pigeon.

This guy's situation is similar to that of the Buddha's incarnation, the "Enlightened One". Even if he descends in a form close to that of a human, this planet cannot bear the weight of his spiritual base.

From a certain perspective, they are completely beyond the scope of the solar system.

However, Jesus Christ still ignored him and just looked at Gilgamesh silently. That empty and silent look made Gilgamesh feel his blood pressure surge...

"You have a mouth but you can't open it? Zaxiu, let me help you cut open your mouth!"

Gilgamesh had a cruel grin on his face, and behind him appeared waves of light and shadow with golden ripples. That was the opened Babylonian Treasury and the endless prototypes of treasures stored in it.

He knew that the person in front of him was not someone to be trifled with, so Gilgamesh took out the thirty-two most top-level treasures in his treasury at once, aimed at the opponent and threw them out!

"My king, please..."

The shocked Tōsaka Tokiomi had barely had time to raise his hand before the Noble Phantasm was already unleashed. The actions of a Heroic Spirit were so fast compared to the reactions of an ordinary person!

Thirty-two top-level treasures were coming, but Jesus did not dodge or evade. He just raised his hands silently and used his power - the power of the magnetic field!

250,000 Horsepower·Hand of God!!

A magnetic field force of 250,000 horsepower, combined with a very high level of perfection...
