"Yare-yare."
Faced with Gilgamesh's threat, Eiji did not change his expression and instead spoke the words the protagonist usually said when everything was still under his control.
Artoria and Medea did not know this.
They panicked hearing Gilgamesh was going to kill everyone in the city.
"Eiji, this is serious. We might not be able to protect everyone from Gilgamesh's attack this time."
"I might be able to make a bigger barrier, but it will take time and won't last long in the face of the bombardment from the Gate of Babylon."
Even the King of Knights from Britannia and the powerful Magus from the Age of Gods were powerless before the full might of the King of Heroes.
Gilgamesh was pleased to see the desperation of the women, he started laughing again. His arrogant laughter echoed in Fuyuki City.
"Hahahaha! Is this the struggle of the desperate insects? Ho ho, did you hear that, mongrel? Even if you have a cheap imitation of the Gate of Babylon, everyone in this city won't survive the bombing."
"What are you going to do? Make a wise choice, kneel down to this King and beg for forgiveness! Maybe if you do that, I'll restrain myself like before."
He looked at Eiji with a condescending gaze and began folding his hands again.
His arrogant posture had returned, and he would also regain his dignity that had been trampled on.
[Host, what are you going to do?]
Miss System asked curiously.
Eiji smiled faintly.
Isn't it obvious? He was going to slap Gilgamesh again.
"Kneel down and beg for forgiveness? That's the thing you should do to me."
"Huh? Mongrel, don't act so strong! I know you're desperate! Hahaha, do you really want everyone in this city to die because of you?"
Gilgamesh said angrily.
He also slyly tried to make his opponent uncomfortable by guilt.
He wanted to see Eiji in despair, but what he saw disappointed him.
"I won't let everyone in this city die or be injured in the slightest. That's not a difficult thing for me."
Everyone at the scene was confused.
They didn't know if Eiji was overbearing or confident.
Gilgamesh thought it was both, he couldn't wait to see him embarrass himself.
Under everyone's gaze, Eiji raised one of his hands in front of his face.
He formed a unique hand seal where the tips of the index and middle fingers touched the fingers of the other hand in reverse, while the ring and little fingers were bent inward and the thumbs crossed. This gesture symbolizes Taishakuten-In, a mudra associated with the Buddhist deity Indra.
Actually he doesn't need to do that to use it.
But he did it like Gojo and even used his Cursed Energy. His body was enveloped by a dark aura that was a negative human emotion.
Oppression that reminded every Servant of All the World's Evils or the Beasts burst out of him.
"!!!" Gilgamesh, Artoria, Medea and even the Assassin's original body hiding in the distance gasped.
Before they could react, Eiji had uttered the name of his creation technique.
Or rather, he used Cursed Energy to activate his other Noble Phantasm.
It created something different from his original work.
"Domain Expansion: Unlimited Blade Works."
Instantly, the area around him and the people around him changed drastically. A domain barrier was created, and the real world was replaced by another world with a deep or gray twilight sky, sometimes shrouded in black smoke and steam.
The plains turned into a vast, barren desert. The landscape in that place was filled with infinite swords with cursed energy stuck in the ground like tombstones in a cemetery. There were also several giant gears spinning in the background of everyone.
The combination created an eerie atmosphere like in a horror movie.
"This place..." Artoria gulped, she felt a sense of unease when standing in the place her master had created.
Especially the swords stuck in the ground, they emitted a negative or evil energy no less than All the World's Evils.
It felt like if you touched them, you would be cursed. Her instincts told her that.
"This is a Reality Marble! A form of high-level magic that manifests the user's inner world into the real world as a bounded field. But instead of magic, I sense another type of energy that created this world."
Medea's eyes lit up, although she could also create a bounded field like Eiji, it was smaller than this and of a lower level.
Not only that, the type of energy Eiji used to create his bounded field instilled a sense of danger and anxiety.
Still, Medea didn't know that had she and Artoria not been his women- Ehem, I mean his future wives.
They would feel more terrible terror until an ordinary person would go crazy. The cursed energy emanating from every sword in that place could affect Eiji's target.
For example Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes who was also known for his bravery now felt afraid. However, the feeling of humiliation in his heart was greater.
How could someone's bounded field make him afraid? Damn it!
"Mongrel, I admit that in this disgusting place, you prevented everyone in city from dying."
"But what about you and those two women? You're all still going to die! After this, I will also bombard the city you live in."
"Hahahaha! You—"
Before he could finish his words, a sword stuck in the ground, or a copy of the Noble Phantasm enveloped in Cursed Energy flew towards him and blasted him.
The King of Heroes was again unable to react to the speed of Eiji's throw. In the sky, his figure was again enveloped by the smoke of the explosion.
"I told you to stop barking, you're noisy. Are you deaf?"
Eiji grinned, the golden ripples behind him turned into a blood red color due to the influence of his cursed energy, every Noble Phantasm inside his Gate of Babylon turned into Anti-Divine and Anti-Humanity Noble Phantasm.
Its destructive power increases several times when fighting humans and those with divine attributes such as Gilgamesh.
The swords on the ground can also fly and he can use them to carry out mass attacks.
The heroines who were watching the livestream laughed at Gilgamesh.
"Mongrel! You, you...!"
After the smoke from the explosion cleared, Gilgamesh had blood again at the corner of his mouth and there was a small crack in his golden armor.
Not only was he angry, he was also surprised that the destructive power of the projectiles Eiji fired increased.
His body was trembling from the various negative emotions building up in his heart. He didn't notice the purple spots that began to appear on his facial skin.
"You want me to beat your pride again, Gilgamesh?" Asked Eiji with a playful look.
"I want you dead!"
Gilgamesh roared and unleashed the third wave of his Noble Phantasm attacks.
Eiji did not remain silent either, he released countless Noble Phantasm and controlled the swords on the ground to perform a mass attack.
Explosions of gold and red collided in the sky.
If they were not on the Reality Marble that Eiji created, many people in Fuyuki city would have been frightened and panicked.
To prevent his women from being swallowed by the explosions, Eiji also did not forget to create a barrier for them.
Inside the magic barrier that didn't even crack after being hit by Gilgamesh's attack, Artoria and Medea were stunned.
This level of battle was not something they could handle, even though each of them were famous Servants, their power was not enough to create the scene they were now seeing.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
Explosion after explosion shook the sky and the earth.
While Eiji stood casually and had even yawned once.
Gilgamesh who a moment ago still looked confident now began to change his expression.
His expression was serious and gradually became ugly because right now, he was the only one who had been hit by the explosion several times.
As for Eiji? He wasn't injured in the slightest and none of the explosions were able to reach him.
The red blasts of his Noble Phantasm swallowed up his golden blasts, and the speed difference between them put him in an unfavorable situation.
Gilgamesh could even clearly see that the explosions in front of him were more inclined towards him.
His pride as the King of Heroes and the Eldest King of Mankind was again hurt by reality.
However, he did not give up and deployed Ea on his enemy, a confident smile returning to his face.
"Hahaha!"
[Can this guy stop laughing? Every time he does that, Gilgamesh will make a fool of himself.]
[Does he realize it? Apparently not, he doesn't learn from experience.]
The heroines who were watching the livestream agreed.
The King of Heroes couldn't be humble even though he had been humiliated many times by Eiji.
Right now, he was clearly being cornered but suddenly laughed.
Was he starting to go crazy?
[Utaha: I bet that Gilgamesh will humiliate himself again.]
[Maria: Whatever he's going to do... I also bet that Eiji-san will slap him again!]
[Mio: You're betting on something that's obvious...]
[Yuki: Not even one of us is betting on the opposite.]
[Akeno: Ara Ara. Our husband, Eiji is too strong, there's no way Gilgamesh can beat him but, I'll bet that Gilgamesh won't embarrass himself this time (PS: I know I'll lose).]
[Rias: By the way, what is the prize of the bet?]
[Utaha: Maria, give us advice.]
[Maria: Hehe... How about the loser has to send a picture of their back door to the group chat?]
!!!
As expected of a Succubus, who even comes from a lewd anime like Shinmai Maou no Testament.
Maria Naruse, you pervert!
And why the back door? You were influenced by Eiji, right?
After all, he's an ass maniac!
In fact, many of them also like watching anal in the videos in the group chat.
It had been so long since they had seen Akeno's back door, they were quite interested.
[Akeno: Is it too late to change my choice?]
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
At the occult research club.
Akeno's lips twitched, she was obviously going to lose and make a fool of herself!
"This bet is unfair, I won't..."
"You can't run away from your bet, Akeno."
Rias held her shoulders from behind the sofa with a smile on her face.
"Rias, let go of me!"
Akeno panicked but just then, Koneko walked over to her and sat beside her. She placed one of her hands on her thigh and pressed it with a force beyond her own.
"Senpai, don't move and wait for the result."
"Koneko, you too! Woo woo... You two are bullying me..."
Akeno covered her face with both hands as if she was crying.
But Rias and Koneko were unmoved, they still held her on the sofa because they knew...
"It's useless to pretend to cry, Akeno/Senpai."
Both said simultaneously.
Akeno was desperate, she stopped covering her face and sure enough, there were no tears to be seen at all.
She only showed a sullen expression on her pretty face.
...
Back to the battlefield again.
"Mongrel—no, Eiji Seiya! I admit your power as a cheap imitation is stronger than I thought. But don't think you're my equal!"
"Do you know what this weapon is? It's my most precious treasure, Ea! There's no way a cheap imitation like you has it either."
"This time, I will definitely kill you!"
The Ea in Gilgamesh's hand began to spin again, the wind that tore through reality enveloped it and began to gather large amounts of magical energy.
The corners of Eiji's lips lifted higher, "That's just Ea... You think I don't have it?"
Immediately, a drill-like weapon that looked exactly like an Ea appeared from the ripples behind him.
He grasped it and activated it.
"No way! You even have Ea? That's absurd! Absurd!"
Gilgamesh was dumbfounded, his movements halting for a moment.
What was Ea?
Its full name is Sword of Rupture, Ea actually predates the concept of the sword itself, a Divine Construct created by the gods in the early days of the world.
Ea is the only weapon in the Gate of Babylon that has never been owned or passed down to another hero throughout history. This weapon is exclusive to Gilgamesh and only he can wield it, making it a unique and inimitable existence.
And yet...
What was he looking at now?
Gilgamesh really didn't understand how anyone else could have it.
Eiji basically had all of his powers, the King of Heroes!
"Well, I don't mind telling you. I got Ea, or rather your power from one of my women."
[I'm not your woman, host.]
Don't be shy, Miss System.
[I'm not shy!]
Eiji ignored Miss System's tsundere attitude which he found cute.
The Ea in his hand spun, crimson energy concentrated at the tip and ready to be fired at any time.
"???"
Still, it wasn't just Gilgamesh.
Artoria, Medea and the other women who were watching were confused.
How exactly was the power of the King of Heroes given like a cabbage to you, Eiji?
By the way, who is that woman? It's definitely not one of them.
Was there another sister they hadn't seen so far?
Eiji's first woman probably wasn't Lala.
There were others who came earlier and secretly might know about them.
[....]
Miss System snorted, she supported her chin with one hand and folded her beautiful legs.
Seen from anywhere, that was the posture of a true boss!
The boss behind the scenes, Miss System. Wait, my name is not that...
That's a secret for now.
"Hmph! You didn't explain how you or your woman got it. But whatever it is, I don't believe a cheap imitation of Ea is comparable to the real thing!"
"Eiji Seiya, die for this King! The world only needs one King of Heroes and that's me, Gilgamesh!"
I don't know where Gilgamesh got the confidence to say that after he was harmed by someone else who had his power.
Eiji rolled his eyes, he didn't really care about the title of King of Heroes. Soon, they shouted their respective attack names.
""Enuma Elish!""
Two powerful, high-pressure whirlwinds shot towards each other.
They were the same color- red, black, and gold that converged like beams of destruction.
However, Eiji's was darker in color due to the cursed energy he put into his attack.
His Ea attribute also changed like the other Noble Phantasm inside his Gate of Babylon. Not only Anti-World, but also Anti-Divine and Anti-Humanity!
The result was obvious.
When the two attacks collided and created a distortion of space. The sky looks as if it is split, distorted, or shattered into strange, unnatural patterns. This effect is often described as a spatial crack or collapse of reality.
Artoria and Medea looked at the scene with horror.
But, they also clearly saw that Eiji's attack pushed back Gilgamesh's attack.
Like a curse, it spread and infected its target.
"Impossible! Impossible! I am the real King of Heroes, how could I lose to a fake one!"
"Ahhh! AAAAAHGH! — Cough! Cough! Ah, what's wrong with me?"
"Eiji Seiya, you cheated! You poisoned this King, how dare youuuuu!"
Before being swallowed by Eiji's attack and exploding to death. Gilgamesh's face was filled with purple like the victim of a curse in Jujutsu Kaisen.
That was natural.
He had been hit by several of Eiji's attacks that contained cursed energy.
It weakened his power and it was only a matter of time before he died.
But even without that, Eiji could defeat him with pure power. Gilgamesh didn't know, but his opponent held back a lot just to humiliate him time and time again.
Otherwise, he would have died in less time.
*BOOOOM!!!*
A colossal, crimson-colored explosion was created and distorted much of the space inside the Reality Marble.
The world began to collapse.
But before that happened, Eiji had returned to the real world with Artoria and Medea, he used that opportunity to hug them from both sides.
The people living in Fuyuki City and its surroundings— more precisely the entire world of the world did not realize they had just escaped death.
After all, the explosion from the two colliding Ea attacks was enough to perforate the earth and destroy it.
One of the Counter Force, the will of the planet, Gaia should feel relieved because of that.
"Yosh, it's time to go home."
Carrying the two beauties as if they were sacks, Eiji walked towards Aoi's parents' house.
Next up was Tokiomi, he still had to make him pay for what he did to Sakura.
[You sure you didn't do that because of your bad hobbies, host?]
Miss System, I don't know what you're talking about.
[I'm talking about your hobby of giving other men green hats and mentally torturing them.]
What? What are you saying? Sorry Miss System, the signal is bad.
Eiji pretended to be deaf, he only heard Artoria and Medea who were complaining.
"Eiji, put me down. I can walk by myself."
"Me too, Eiji. Don't use this opportunity to take advantage of me. Y-You pervert!"
Both women's cheeks turned red.
O kawaii koto (How cute).
He shamelessly said, "Ladies, don't lie. I know your magical energy is running low and needs to be recharged! Don't force yourself to walk, let me carry you."
"....." Artoria and Medea.
It was true that their magical energy was running low and their bodies felt weak, but they could still walk!
And was it just them or was Eiji's pace a bit slow?
He seemed to deliberately walk like a snail so he could carry them longer.
Bah, bah, shameless!
As for the Assassin who was still alive and running away because he wasn't even put into the Reality Marbel? Eiji didn't care, now was the time to have fun.
