At this moment, looking at the Caster Gilgamesh appearing in the light screen, all the audience were discussing.
[Tōsaka Rin: This Caster Gilgamesh looks more heroic than Goldie, and his attire is more in line with the Mesopotamian period.]
[Kiritsugu Emiya: But at first glance, the impression he gives is completely different from the Archer Gilgamesh.]
[Cú Chulainn: Caster Gil and Archer Gil are so complicated, my brain is overheating.]
[Waver Velvet: But to be honest, the arrogance of the two Gilgameshes is exactly the same; it's indeed Gilgamesh himself.]
[Iskandar: No matter the world, no matter which Gilgamesh, he should be and is qualified to be arrogant.]
While everyone was talking, within the light screen...
[An empty, deep subway station suddenly appeared.]
[Boom boom boom!!!]
[A series of hurried footsteps echoed through the subway station. Voices came from both ends of the subway. Along with these voices, a tense atmosphere quietly gathered in the subway station.]
[Soon, as the footsteps gradually approached, two figures revealed their true appearances.]
[It was Arthur Pendragon and Gilgamesh.]
[They stood at the entrances on the left and right sides of the subway, silently watching and carefully observing each other.]
[One is the world-renowned King Arthur, the other is the world's oldest King of Heroes.]
[In such a confrontation, neither would underestimate the other; even Gilgamesh would not take his enemy lightly.]
[After a long silence, Gilgamesh finally took the initiative to break the deadlock: "Long time no see, Holy Sword User. It's been seven days since we last met like this."]
[Hearing these words, Arthur's face darkened slightly; he didn't seem too pleased about this reunion.]
[Seeing Arthur like this, Gilgamesh didn't care too much.]
[Although he in this world didn't have the "slowness" flaw of other versions, the king's arrogance still remained.]
[He simply sneered, "Heh, what a cold guy."]
[As these words fell, the two began walking slowly towards each other simultaneously.]
[A solemn atmosphere spread between them, as if even the air had frozen.]
At this moment, all the audience held their breath and stared intently, full of anticipation for the battle between these two legendary kings.
They expressed their opinions on the screen one after another, and bullet comments flooded the screen.
[Artoria: Gilgamesh... if this guy goes all out like last time, I wonder if the other King Arthur can be his match?]
[Gilgamesh: Beautiful as a woman, strong and handsome as a man. Worthy of being the one this king has chosen, truly extraordinary in every aspect.]
[Iskandar: So this is the male King Arthur? He does look like the prince charming from my imagination. I wonder if you'd be interested in joining my army?]
[Waver Velvet: Rider, what are you thinking? King Arthur is a king, after all. How could he be subordinate to someone else?]
[El-Melloi II: That's... after all, he is the very well-known King Arthur. He definitely wouldn't do such a thing. But I'm still very curious, what's the difference between this male King Arthur's holy sword and Artoria's?]
[Enkidu: In any case, this is a clash of titans visible to the naked eye. I'm also curious about the difference between that world's Gil and the Gil I know.]
[Tōsaka Rin: Same nouveau riche, same golden... I just wonder if his personality is the same. Anyway, based on my previous understanding, I've decided to stand on King Arthur's side.]
As the audience heatedly discussed, the light screen continued to shift.
[At this moment, both Arthur Pendragon and Caster Gilgamesh locked their eyes on each other.]
[The two stirred up terrifying magical energy simultaneously, and for a moment, the surrounding space trembled.]
[Clearly, the magical energy of the two kings made the entire space unstable. However, they paid it no mind.]
[Caster Gilgamesh locked his gaze on Arthur and said contemptuously, "Manaka Sajyou has three days left to live."]
[Along with these words, a golden light flashed, and a small bottle emitting a bright glow appeared in his hand.]
[This was precisely the purpose of King Arthur's journey—to save Manaka Sajyou's life.]
[Seeing this scene, the audience wasn't surprised, as they had already seen Gilgamesh's "Gate of Babylon."]
[The King of Heroes always took out various strange things from it.]
[However, they still didn't understand the meaning of Gilgamesh taking out this item on the screen. But soon, they understood.]
[On the screen, Caster Gilgamesh looked at the small bottle in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. "Although my Master's order is to let you fend for yourselves, who is Gilgamesh? He is the world's oldest King of Heroes! How could he listen to others?"]
[He said provocatively, "If you want this, come and get it."]
[The provocative words echoed gently in the space, and a fierce battle was about to begin.]
At this moment, looking at this scene in the light screen, the audience suddenly remembered.
[Bullet Comments]
[Tōsaka Rin: I was wondering why the name Manaka Sajyou sounded so familiar. I remembered now; this name appeared in a previous entry!]
[Matō Sakura: Yes, I remember in the last entry, Manaka Sajyou was also Saber's Master!]
[Zhuge Kongming (Zhuge Liang): But what's certain is that the two are not the same person.]
[Kiritsugu Emiya: Is it possible that the Saber in the last entry was also the male King Arthur? After all, even in different worlds, some things tend to be similar.]
[Zuoken: The convergence of worldlines.]
While everyone was discussing the information revealed in the light screen, the battle within it was about to break out!
[At this moment, Arthur and Caster Gilgamesh were ready for battle. Both had transformed into their Heroic Spirit forms, displaying extraordinary power.]
[Everyone finally saw the appearance of the opposite-sex King Arthur. In his hand appeared a sword glowing with golden light—the Sword of Promised Victory! This was also an extremely powerful Noble Phantasm.]
[The moment this Noble Phantasm appeared, Arthur immediately rushed towards Caster Gilgamesh, shouting, "Hah!"]
[Along with these heart-shaking words, a sharp sound of tearing air rang out. Arthur's Sword of Promised Victory reached Caster Gilgamesh at an astonishing speed.]
[Clang!]
[A crisp sound echoed in the air—the sound of weapons colliding! The moment Arthur launched his attack, Caster Gilgamesh immediately drew the two swords on his back and assumed a defensive posture.]
[Weapons collided, immediately producing fierce sparks.]
[A layer of white mist instantly exploded in the air, and the terrifying energy impact immediately forced the two apart.]
[Arthur wasn't surprised that his attack was blocked.]
[After all, if the legendary King of Heroes were defeated so easily, he would be very disappointed. This battle had only just begun.]
At this moment, in the world of the Fourth Holy Grail War.
Tōsaka Tokiomi watched the battle in the light screen.
He couldn't help but click his tongue.
You should know, that was a Saber-class Heroic Spirit, and the famous King Arthur at that.
As an Archer-class, Caster Gilgamesh actually used the two swords on his back to block a frontal assault from a Saber-class!
"As an Archer, this close-combat ability is a bit too strong, isn't it?"
"Moreover, this close-combat ability seems slightly stronger than the King of Heroes here."
"Even if they're the same person, the specialization points in different worldlines are also different, right?"
Tōsaka Tokiomi thought this and continued to cast his gaze on the light screen.
[At this moment, the corners of Caster Gilgamesh's mouth lifted slightly, and he immediately rushed towards Arthur with both swords, launching a counterattack like a storm.]
[Clang-clang-clang!]
[Weapons continuously collided, producing extremely fierce sparks.]
[The battlefield between the two kept shifting, from the subway tunnel to an open area.]
[Gilgamesh attacked Arthur from all sorts of incredible angles, like a flexible snake.]
[However, each attack was deftly blocked by Arthur with his exquisite swordsmanship.]
[The two kept separating and colliding, separating again and colliding again... With this repetitive motion, the two seemed to be in a stalemate.]
[At this moment, Caster Gilgamesh's gaze stayed on the single-edged sword emitting golden light in Arthur's hand, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face.]
["Is this the legendary holy sword?" His words carried a disdainful tone, as if he didn't take this so-called holy sword seriously.]
[And Arthur also distanced himself from Caster Gilgamesh, a wary look on his face.]
[He knew this King of Heroes wasn't easy to deal with, but he also had reasons he must win!]
[So, Arthur took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the Sword of Promised Victory, ready for the next battle. This duel between kings had just begun to reach its climax.]
[Thinking this, the Sword of Promised Victory in Arthur's hand emitted an even more dazzling light, immediately stirring up countless powerful wind pressures.]
[With this action, countless dust was also raised.]
[Then, Arthur, holding his holy sword, charged out of the dust and rushed head-on towards Caster Gilgamesh.]
[Caster Gilgamesh also used the two swords in his hands to meet the attack head-on.]
[Bang Bang Bang——!!!]
[The weapons of both sides continuously intertwined, producing fierce sparks.]
[Amidst such a battle, Arthur's voice kept echoing.]
["The Holy Grail is not a tool for bloodshed. I heard it was originally used as an unobservable miracle to accumulate human wishes. But... most humans do not desire kindness, but malice called desire. The Holy Grail has long been abnormal."]
All the audience couldn't help but fall silent upon hearing this. They had to admit that what Arthur said was right.
The so-called Holy Grail War is actually a path soaked in blood.
To realize their wishes, mages and Heroic Spirits fight for the Holy Grail at all costs.
After all, the Holy Grail, as an omnipotent wish-granting device, possesses the power of an unobservable miracle, which is undoubtedly very attractive to them.
They crave the power of the Holy Grail, and for this, they do not hesitate to use their own blood to water this path to victory, fighting for the sole chance to have a wish granted.
In this war, human greed, desire, and malice are infinitely magnified, turning what should be a sacred ceremony into cruel slaughter.
However, as Arthur said, the Holy Grail has long been abnormal. It was supposed to be used to accumulate human goodwill and wishes, but now it has become the source of war and bloodshed.
Meanwhile, in the light screen...
[Caster Gilgamesh ignored Arthur's words.]
[Instead, he continued swinging the swords in his hands towards Arthur!]
[The battle between Arthur and Caster Gilgamesh had moved to an open area.]
[Here, they completely let loose and launched an even more intense confrontation.]
[Caster Gilgamesh was firing at full power now. All the strength that was difficult to exert in a confined space before was fully displayed in this open area.]
[Countless golden ripples emerged behind him, accompanied by a humming sound. Countless dazzling golden treasures slowly emerged from the ripples.]
[Caster Gilgamesh simply waved his hands lightly, and those treasures shot towards Arthur's position like mad.]
[For a moment, countless explosions sounded, and the smoke from the blasts quickly filled the entire light screen.]
[In the smoke, a figure kept flashing—it was Arthur.]
[Relying on his high agility, he continuously dodged those terrifying treasures.]
[Through his efforts, he swiftly dodged all of them.]
[However, even so, those treasures still inevitably hit the surrounding buildings, the explosions producing huge impacts.]
[Under the sudden attack, Arthur was blown away by the impact and fell heavily to the ground with a thud.]
[However, Caster Gilgamesh's attack didn't stop there.]
[He took the opportunity while Arthur was blown away and quietly followed Arthur's position, attempting to finish him off.]
At this moment, in the realm of the Knights of the Round Table, the Knights saw this scene, their faces showing worry and disbelief.
Mordred wore an expression of disbelief. She murmured to herself, "How is this possible?! My father actually fell into a disadvantage in such a battle... Although this father isn't the same as the father in my memory... he shouldn't be beaten to such a state by the King of Heroes..."
In contrast, Gawain wasn't too worried. He comforted everyone, "Don't worry. Although that isn't the king we are loyal to, since he bears the name of King Arthur, he will not bring shame to the name of King Arthur!"
In the world of the Fifth Holy Grail War.
Tōsaka Rin was also stunned by the scene on the screen.
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and said in surprise, "Am I seeing things? That arrogant, complacent Goldie actually went to finish off his enemy!? Is this guy sure he hasn't changed his nature?"
Tōsaka Rin truly couldn't imagine that Goldie would actually do something like finishing off a fallen enemy.
Based on her previous understanding of that Goldie, the next scene should involve taunts, and then the opponent would seize the opportunity to end the battle cleanly.
But now, he was actually going for the finishing blow? This didn't match the image of Goldie in her mind at all!
Looking at Tōsaka Rin's shocked expression and hearing her words, Archer laughed at Tōsaka Rin's remark.
He said calmly, "After all, he's not the same Goldie you know."
"Besides, his current opponent, King Arthur, is enough to make him get serious."
After saying that, Archer touched his chin and muttered to himself.
"It seems quite normal so far, so when will the Anti-Civilization and Anti-World Noble Phantasms appear?"
