[FATEFGO] Master's Note

For the birth of the Holy Grail, Tohsaka Tokiomi made full preparations.

Abandoning his ally Kotomine Kirei, sending him far away to the center of the church in Italy, summoning Hassan of the Hundred Faces to join his camp, forcing the young girl sent to Matou's house to stay at Tohsaka's house, and sending an archer to kill her on the night of the summoning Kotomine Risei, Overseer of the Holy Grail War.

Although he failed to snatch the remaining Command Seals from Kotomine Risama's hands that were not used in the previous Holy Grail War, Tokiomi did not regret it, nor did he feel any regrets.

From the very beginning, he didn't intend to keep this Holy Grail War at its original pace.He has waited too long, and now he just wants a quick fix.

Since he appeared as Angola Mainyu, he occupied a position of servant, and there were only six servants left who could be summoned.

Gilgamesh was not an easy-to-control servant, and it was also one of the reasons why Tokiomi was defeated.Even though he had already sent Kotomine Kirei away, just in case, he chose to replace the Archer-level servants.

But he didn't want to give up Gilgamesh easily, after all, as a heroic spirit, Gilgamesh's abilities were definitely beyond the reach of ordinary heroic spirits.

With the help of Angola Mainu, he moved his hands and feet a little.The servant he summoned is still Gilgamesh from Archer, but his life trajectory is very different, whether it is clothing, personality, attack method or Noble Phantasm.

This Gilgamesh satisfied Tohsaka Tokiomi.

She knew that because her own nature had changed, the other spirits summoned in this Holy Grail War would also undergo some changes.

For example, Arturia is holding a holy gun, for example, Lancer Diarmuid appears as a saber.

But it's all harmless.

Even if Muming, who represents the Alaya side and appears as a caster's fictitious job title, is still the man of the mountain representing Gaia's side, their appearance will not cause trouble to Tosaka Tokiomi.

To be honest, he hoped that the more heroic spirits would appear, the better.

With enough magic power absorbed, the Holy Grail can be perfectly born.

He didn't want to wait any longer, so he chose the warehouse street next to Weiyuan River as the final stage.

The other people present, whether it was Akatsuki Kamiki or Emiya Kiritsugu who was hiding on the crane, didn't know what he was thinking.Even his servant was kept in the dark, completely unaware of his thoughts.

But they knew that Tohsaka Tokiomi carried a dangerous aura about him.

The four masters present inexplicably reached a consensus, and they all tacitly regarded Tokiomi as the primary target.

Archer pulled the longbow, and the golden arrow tore through the night sky and whizzed towards Tokiomi's heart.Tokiomi raised his hand, and the black mud condensed in his palm. As soon as the golden arrow touched the black mud, it was sucked into it uncontrollably.

Tokiomi raised his eyes to look at Archer, his eyes were quite pitiful: "Do you want to resist me too, Gilgamesh?"

"Otherwise, become your pawn? I'm sorry, this king can't accept it."

He drew the bow again, this time with three arrows on the string.However, before the three arrows left the string, Gilgamesh had already unlocked the King's Treasure, attacking Tokiomi without any dead ends, but all of them were blocked by the black mud.

Gilgamesh was speechless and stopped attacking.

"Why did you stop, shouldn't you continue at this time?"

Shen Muxiao urged him to continue.

"Continuing on is just an endless waste of weapons."

"But there is no other way...Keep the momentum of the attack, maybe you can find his shortcomings. No matter how bad it is, a long tug-of-war can make him reach his limit."

Hearing her words, Iskandar suddenly laughed.

"You mean to pester him? Then it's up to me!"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a gust of wind, and it seemed that the dry wind was mixed with sand and gravel.The scene in front of them changed instantly, and they actually stood in the vast desert.I don't know if Iskandar did it on purpose, maybe just one other person, Archibald and Emiya Kiritsugu who deliberately hid, were also involved in his inherent barrier.

The heroic soldiers walked over, Iskandar turned over and stepped on a tall black horse, and showed a heroic smile to the unknown Weber.

El-Melloi II remembered that smile.

Before Iskandar disappeared, he showed a similar smile.

Iskandar raised his arms and let out a loud cry, and charged towards Tohsaka Tokiomi.

No matter which heroic spirit it is, seeing Iskandar's unique barrier will be more or less amazed.

"Do we need a truce between the two of us, lancer?"

Although Diarmuid was asking Arturia, he had put his swords between his arms before he could speak, and obviously he had lost his mind to fight Arturia.

Artoria pulled the rein and turned to where Tokiomi was standing, the holy spear in her hand was unfettered and shone with its original light.

"Does it need to be said? My master just told me that we should deal with this guy first."

"What a coincidence, my master also issued the same order." Diarmuid bent down slightly, "Then..."

Emiya Kiritsugu loaded the origin bullet into the gun, aiming the gun at Tohsaka Tokiomi.

"Don't you use a treasure?" Shenmu Xiao asked Gilgamesh.

"It will tear the barrier."

It's not like Gilgamesh hasn't tried this kind of thing.Although it should be possible to prevent the barrier from collapsing as long as it is aimed at the target and controlled to a certain degree, Gilgamesh is not willing to reduce the power of the Deviation Sword.

There was an unknown smile on the corner of Tokiomi's mouth, and several horizontal lines suddenly appeared on his body, like scars, but instead of bleeding, a large amount of viscous black liquid gushed out.

Where the black liquid touched, the barrier began to shatter, and Iskandar could feel something abnormal.

Gilgamesh was alarmed.He pushed Shenmu Xiao back a little.

"It's black mud!"

Artoria jumped into the sky, Diarmuid read out the real names of the two swords, Archer pulled the longbow, and a golden totem was condensed on the arrow.

The zenith of the barrier began to shatter gradually, revealing the original Fuyuki night sky.

It should be the black mud on the ground that is really tearing the barrier, why is the zenith also starting to disintegrate?Iskandar was wondering when he heard Archer's voice.

"This hole was opened by the king."

In order to activate the Noble Phantasm, part of the barrier must be destroyed.After all, if there is an enchantment blocking it, most of the power of the ancient flood will be consumed.

Iskandar was still a little unhappy at first, but when he saw the satellite falling from the sky, he was instantly relieved.

"Then let you make a fool of yourself."

Archer suppressed his laughter: "My king's treasure, how could it be a nonsense?"

The end sword Enki, this is a Noble Phantasm that Gilgamesh does not have.

Along with the falling satellite, the flood water poured in from the broken hole between the zeniths.

With several Noble Phantasms being released, it stands to reason that Tosaka Tokiomi must surely die.

The scorching light faded away, the diffuse smoke dissipated, and Tohsaka Tokiomi was still standing where he was.

In fact, it is no longer appropriate to call the standing doll "Tohsaka Tokiomi".The surface of that black figure was only covered with the skin of Tokiomi Tohsaka, and the rest became a black object for some unknown reason.

The figure that could barely be called Tohsaka Tokiomi only had one eye left.His empty right eye went around everyone's face, and finally, it stayed on Shenmu Xiao's face.

He screamed, and the black mud beside him turned into sharp cones as he screamed, rushing towards everyone.

Shen Muxiao subconsciously pulled out the sword, trying to block the rushing black mud.But she also understood that such a narrow blade might not be able to do anything.

Gilgamesh was three steps away, but the two were separated by black mud. She knew that Gilgamesh would not be able to reach her in a short time.

You can't rely on Gilgamesh all the time.Shen Muxiao thought so, and gripped the handle of the knife tightly.

The black mud rushed towards him, and Shen Muxiao swung his sword to cut it off.It worked, but the blade instantly turned to dust when it touched the black mud.

The Taidao in her hand has become a broken blade.

Hei Ni insisted on her, and attacked again as if he had self-awareness.

Akatsuki knew that she could dodge this attack with a magic dress.But what about next time?What should she do next time?

There was not much time for her to hesitate, and the black mud was approaching.

However, a golden figure stood in front of her first, cutting off the direction of the black mud.

It was not her servant Gilgamesh who blocked the black mud for her, but Archer, whom she had only met once.

Archer turned around and smiled at her.

"You can't watch the future princess die in front of this king."

"My king heard it!" Gilgamesh roared in his ear, "Shut up, impostor!"

Not to be outdone, Archer yelled back: "You should shut up!"

There was more and more black mud, and Iskandar's barrier was on the verge of disintegration, and it was about to fail.

Tohsaka Tokiomi's skin has completely collapsed, revealing the true appearance of Angra Mainu—but it is still Tohsaka Tokiomi who dominates this body.

Gilgamesh took out the sword of deviation.He felt that now it seemed that he had to use this weapon to completely kill Tohsaka Tokiomi.

A bell rang in the distance.It was getting dark.

"—The evening bell has revealed your name."

The epee fell to the ground, and Angola Mainyu was chopped off in the middle.The black mud retreated surrounded and poured into Angola Mainu's body.

Everyone thought that the man on the mountain was dead, even Tosaka Tokiomi/Angola Mainyu thought so, but they didn't know that the man on the mountain had the chance to "do it again".

The Holy Grail floats in the air, gradually revealing its shape.

Weber poked Iskandar next to him, and the gentleman asked, "Rider, is this... eh?"

What his fingers touched was a blank space.He turned to look at Iskandar, and was shocked to find that his body had turned translucent and was about to dissipate.

Not only him, but Arturia, Iskandar, Wuming and the Mountain Man also began to disappear.

"What's going on..." he murmured.

"Probably because the Holy Grail appeared, we have no effect." Iskandar laughed and patted Weber on the back vigorously, "I'm sorry I couldn't have a good time with you in the Holy Grail War."

"It's okay... This battle is already very exciting!"

Iskandar smiled even wider.

As the servant of Tohsaka Tokiomi, Archer naturally cannot avoid the fate of disappearing.

He turned around and looked at Shenmu Xiao.

"This is the first time this king has looked at you formally face to face."

He raised his hand, wanting to touch Shen Muxiao's face, but finally put it down.

"This king is thinking that the reason why this king fell in love with you at first sight may be because the guy named Gilgamesh has a good compatibility with you." He whispered in Shenmuxiao's ear, "I hope that in the future, I can become Your servant."

After saying this, he turned around and walked, leaving only a gradually blurred back.The enchantment disappeared, and Shen Muxiao couldn't see his back anymore.

Gilgamesh snorted coldly, but in the end he didn't say anything harsh.

He walked towards the Holy Grail.

He once asked Roman how to become a human.Roman responded with only one word.

"The Holy Grail."

The universal wish-granting device, which can realize everything, can of course make him a human.

Gilgamesh quietly put the Holy Grail into the treasury, avoiding everyone's eyes.

"This is a broken Holy Grail. As soon as I touched the surface, it completely shattered and disappeared." Gilgamesh held Shenmu Xiao's hand, "Let's go back."

Gilgamesh's wish to the Holy Grail is not as simple as incarnation.

"This king wants to become a human being—a human being who can experience aging and death."

Contrary to his original intention, he clearly wanted to obtain eternal life.

But Akatsuki Shenmu is a human being who will grow old and eventually die.Gilgamesh wants to be with her, to go to the end with her.

Just for such a simple reason.

However, it is not easy to become a human being who can age. Even the Holy Grail will take some time to realize this wish.

The black mud poured into Gilgamesh's body, slowly and steadily forming every part of his body.

How long will it take to complete this huge project?Gilgamesh doesn't know.

After obtaining the real body, what method should he use to meet Shen Muxiao?

This is a question worth thinking about.
