At this moment, the audience stared intently at the screen, the shocking scene making them unable to look away. The power displayed by Enkidu's Noble Phantasm left everyone in awe.
The bullet comments surged across the light screen like a tide.
[Bullet Comments]
[Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald: This terrifying magical energy, this terrifying aura... Worthy of a hero who can stand side-by-side with the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh. But is this utilizing the magical energy from the ley lines?]
[Aozaki Aoko: This is... a power completely different from Gilgamesh's! It's not just the power of the earth! That Enkidu is like the planet itself concentrating all its power into one spot. If I didn't know it was impossible, I'd almost think this was the will of the Earth itself contending against Gilgamesh's world-destroying power!]
[Mash Kyrielight: What terrifying strength... That Enkidu is at least as powerful as that King of Heroes, and can be said to be an extraordinary Heroic Spirit.]
[Kiritsugu Emiya: It's really hard to believe that in a single Holy Grail War, two super-standard Heroic Spirits can appear... and the other Heroic Spirits probably won't be inferior to these two, like the Pale Rider, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!]
[Zhuge Kongming (Zhuge Liang): Indeed, the Heroic Spirits appearing in this Holy Grail War can be said to be the most terrifying across all Holy Grail Wars.]
[Waver Velvet: I'm curious about what excuse the local officials will use to deceive the public about this terrifying disturbance.]
[Tōsaka Tokiomi: If this happened in Fuyuki City, it would be at least a thousand gas leaks!]
[Kirei Kotomine: It doesn't matter, I'm used to it. Anyway, when in doubt, just use a gas leak as the excuse.]
And in the world of Fate/strange fake.
Thia looked at everything on the screen in shock. She murmured to herself: "This is... the Holy Grail War!"
Although she didn't appear in the scene on the screen, she was still shocked and developed some misconceptions about the Holy Grail War.
This battle not only allowed the audience to witness the terrifying strength of Enkidu and Gilgamesh but also made the entire Holy Grail War even more intriguing.
Each Heroic Spirit possessed power that could not be underestimated, and the final outcome of this war would also become the focus of everyone's attention.
Meanwhile, in the timeline of the Fifth Holy Grail War.
Shirou Emiya looked at the image on the light screen, stunned.
Although he knew the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, was very powerful, he never imagined Gilgamesh could be this strong!
"Such power that can make the world change color, and it's just daily entertainment?"
"This isn't a curb-stomp battle against me at all!"
Emiya Shirou spoke in shock, and Artoria beside him nodded deeply in agreement.
After a long while, the shock on Emiya Shirou's face gradually turned into relief.
Thank goodness the Gilgamesh on my side was too careless.
Luckily, the Gilgamesh on my side was too playful.
If the Gilgamesh on my side had gone all out from the start, like the one in the light screen, I'm afraid there would be nothing left of me.
The light screen changed, transitioning to a dreamlike world.
["What's going on?"]
[Hinako Akuta, who had been sleeping soundly in bed, woke up feeling the ground shake.]
[She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked out the window, but nothing around her seemed to have changed.]
[However, the moment she thought this, the distant sky began to flicker intermittently, as if foreshadowing something ominous.]
[After a while, a loud bang! The sound of the earth tearing apart echoed throughout the room.]
["It's thunder!"]
[Hinako Akuta was frightened by the sudden thunder and trembled all over, a chill running down her spine. She curled up in bed, covered herself with the blanket, and shivered.]
["I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." she muttered to herself, as if apologizing to something.]
[Having been subjected to forced experiments by her parents since childhood, Hinako Akuta wasn't actually very afraid of those spirits that lacked hostility.]
[However, she felt extremely fearful of natural phenomena like thunder and earthquakes.]
["Thunder is so scary..."]
[Seeing the girl's frightened look, the old father who had been silently guarding her, the Pale Rider, could no longer stand by.]
[To protect his daughter, the [Darkness] in the corner of the room suddenly rose and gently enveloped the entire bed, isolating Akuta Hinako from the horror outside.]
[Then, the dark existence separated another portion of [Darkness], which quietly slipped through the window gap and jumped out of the house.]
[This [Darkness]—that is, a part of the Pale Rider—rode the north wind blown by its own magic and headed south of the town.]
[To be honest, he had already sensed the abnormal situation there. However, the Pale Rider didn't care at all.]
[Because he had no emotions and no expectations for the Holy Grail. He only knew that the person he wanted to protect was in this room, and he would protect her always.]
[Like a system, the Pale Rider continued calmly fulfilling the wishes of his Master, Akuta Hinako.]
[Yes, he did not understand human emotions, nor did he understand anything else.]
[But as long as it was what little Akuta Hinako wanted, he would realize it without hesitation.]
[And now, the huge disturbance was affecting his Master, and he could no longer stand idly by.]
[The Pale Rider simply silently protected Akuta Hinako and continued to act to eliminate her misfortune.]
[As for whether he could fight one against two, against those two super-standard Heroic Spirits—Gilgamesh and Enkidu—he did not consider it.]
[He lacked emotions and had no feeling for human fear, so he had no concept of destruction and felt no fear.]
Seeing this scene, the audiences and mages of various worlds showed excited expressions. This was only the first night of the Holy Grail War, and it was already so intense.
It seemed the Pale Rider was also about to take action.
[Tōsaka Tokiomi: That direction... Seems to be heading towards the battlefield. I never expected a three-way battle would start on the first day.]
[El-Melloi II: One of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Pale Rider with the concept of plague. I wonder what kind of power he will display.]
[Gilgamesh: Mongrel! To actually dare disturb this king's nature.]
[Enkidu: If that guy really comes, it will indeed be a headache.]
With the addition of the Pale Rider, the situation of this Holy Grail War became even more unpredictable.
[Boom boom boom!!!]
[After an unknown period of fierce fighting, the energy of Enkidu and Gilgamesh was finally exhausted. Although it seemed to have vanished into thin air, the remaining power was still enough to stir up a tornado nearby.]
[Amid the howling wind, Gilgamesh and Enkidu descended to the earth together.]
[Gilgamesh looked seriously at the Heroic Spirit before him and initiated the conversation: "I am relieved."]
["Although your particularly memorable appearance is confusing, it is indeed you, not imitated by others, and unchanged." His words were full of emotion.]
[The Heroic Spirit before him, this familiar battle, reminded Gilgamesh of their first meeting.]
[The Enkidu back then was just as powerful and unique as now.]
[Thinking of this, Gilgamesh changed his tone, adding a hint of sarcasm: "But... you are still as willful as ever, even though you came to the desert to greet me. You're the only fool who would choose to care about the forest first rather than entertain me."]
[This wasn't out of a sincere expectation for Enkidu's hospitality, but a joke between bad friends or close companions.]
[However, during the battle, Gilgamesh had also noticed some details about Enkidu, which surprised him somewhat.]
["Although there is almost no life, at least there are sandworms and mice. They are all safe and sound. It seems you haven't changed at all."]
["Have you finally grown to the point where you can identify life?" Gilgamesh asked.]
[Enkidu shook his head slightly and replied: "I don't have that qualification. As a tool, how I should behave is entirely up to the user (Master). However, this choice is based on my own judgment, and it's fine as long as I am hated by the desert."]
[Hearing Enkidu's response, a flash of astonishment crossed Gilgamesh's face; he clearly hadn't expected the other to answer like this.]
[Then, he couldn't help but sigh: "Are you still talking like this? Even after dying once, you're still the same as before."]
[Enkidu was not to be outdone, replying pointedly: "You're the one who, though alive, has been reborn as a tyrant."]
[Faced with such an accusation, Gilgamesh did not refute it, but admitted it generously.]
["Indeed. If my younger self knew about my current self, he might commit suicide."]
The audience in front of the screen couldn't help but gasp upon seeing this scene.
They were surprised that Enkidu dared to call Gilgamesh a tyrant so directly, and that Gilgamesh didn't get angry but instead admitted it.
"Is this really the Goldie I know?"
Tōsaka Rin couldn't help but voice her complaint.
In her previous understanding, Gilgamesh was a very willful king who would never allow anyone to contradict him.
If anyone else dared to say such a thing in front of Gilgamesh, the outcome would likely be tragic.
It could only be said that Enkidu was indeed a special existence. He could even make this proud king admit to being a tyrant.
The image on the light screen continued to play.
[After such a conversation, the "child's play" between the two had not yet ended.]
[The blade of the [Sword of Rupture] held in Gilgamesh's hand began to rotate, and as if responding to the sword, countless golden ripples appeared behind him.]
[That is the Noble Phantasm "Gate of Babylon" that Gilgamesh often uses.]
[Gilgamesh was not done having fun at all.]
[And Enkidu shared the same sentiment.]
[However, before the battle resumed, Enkidu responded to Gilgamesh's earlier words.]
["If you were really the child that Siduri spoke of, I think you would still choose to live. Not for the future, but for the people of Uruk who are still alive at this moment." Enkidu's words were full of deep emotion.]
[As his voice fell, countless terrifying streams of magical energy emerged from Enkidu's body. This magical energy surged violently, as if intending to tear apart everything around them.]
[Gradually, Enkidu's feet assimilated with the earth, and the surrounding gravel began to move, as if given life.]
[Countless pieces of gravel became like part of Enkidu's body, and after melting into his hands, they moved a hundredfold, displaying astonishing power.]
[Seeing this scene, Gilgamesh wasn't very surprised and was even quite satisfied.]
[As expected of a close friend, even without a single word, their thoughts were perfectly aligned.]
[Thus, he leaped into the sky and fully opened the treasury in space.]
[The Gate of Babylon was fully activated; countless golden ripples emerged, emitting a dazzling light.]
[The next second, countless treasures with terrifying auras and a cold glint appeared within the ripples.]
[These treasures were all collected by Gilgamesh, each containing astonishing power.]
[And Enkidu was not to be outdone. The front ends of the earthen tentacles he controlled transformed into spears, swords, bows, and other weapons of various forms, demonstrating his amazing creativity and combat prowess.]
[In a short time, to the shock of all viewers, the terrifying treasures and weapons made of condensed earth shot towards each other.]
[The sound of clashing metals resounded across the battlefield amidst strong winds.]
[At this moment, although only Gilgamesh and Enkidu were fighting on the battlefield, the scene was already that of a vigorous war!]
[Heroic Spirits are heroes capable of defeating thousands of enemies, let alone Gilgamesh and Enkidu, who are the best among heroes.]
[The power they displayed shocked everyone present.]
[Golden ripples continuously emerged behind Gilgamesh, and terrifying treasures shot out like meteors.]
[He kept retrieving various treasures he had collected from his treasury and then hurled them at Enkidu as weapons.]
[Such an attack would undoubtedly be a sure-kill blow for ordinary Heroic Spirits!]
[However, Enkidu was no ordinary person either.]
[As a super-sized Heroic Spirit, he possessed the strength to compete with Gilgamesh.]
[He assimilated with the earth, transformed the surrounding sand and gravel into terrifying weapons, and shot them out in the same manner.]
[For a moment, the air was filled with the horrifying sound of metal colliding, sparks flying, and smoke billowing.]
[On the battlefield, countless golden treasures and earthen weapons continuously interwove and collided in mid-air, creating a deafening cacophony.]
[Gilgamesh and Enkidu simply stared quietly at each other, as if everything around them had nothing to do with them.]
[For them, as long as they could be together, whether through verbal communication or fighting to draw each other's "blood," it was a valuable form of interaction.]
[At this moment, Enkidu's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a chill rushed up his spine.]
[He felt a detestable presence quietly approaching this place.]
[While controlling his countless earthen weapons, Enkidu extended his perception to the distant north. He said in a deep voice, "Something is coming."]
[Seeing Enkidu's reaction, Gilgamesh also raised an eyebrow slightly. His excitement at meeting his best friend was dampened. He asked curiously, "Oh?"]
[As he spoke, he also looked towards the north that Enkidu was observing.]
[He had never doubted Enkidu's intuition, so he slowly observed that direction but found he didn't sense anything.]
[Gilgamesh naturally understood this was probably due to Enkidu's special ability [Transfiguration], allowing him to detect the subtle presence that he himself had missed.]
[Originally, in such a battle, they wouldn't care about the weak presences around them, as there were already countless mages and familiars observing this battle.]
[But this time was different; Enkidu instinctively sensed danger. This sense of danger forced Gilgamesh to pay attention. He stared north, preparing to deal with any situation that might arise.]
