『 Viewers of Countless Worldlines 』
At this moment, the Heroic Spirits, Magus, and Magicians in all the worldlines showed excited expressions when they saw this scene.
It seemed, if their guess was correct, that the first battle would be between Enkidu and the King of Heroes.
All the viewers were full of anticipation for this battle!

[ Red A ⦍Emiya Archer⦎: A bit exciting, this is the first time we've truly seen a battle between Enkidu and Gilgamesh! ]
[ Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi: Indeed, after all, the Enkidu who appeared in the Uruk video before was a fake... Although he didn't say it, it was clear that the King of Heroes seemed to miss his dear friend. ]
[ Tohsaka Rin: But I never thought that the arrogant Gilgamesh would show such an expression... Perhaps only Enkidu could make him show such an expression. ]

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
At this very moment.
All the viewers were discussing animatedly, and the scene on the screen continued to play.
—
『 Soon, the perspective shifted to Enkidu.
After healing his Master, Enkidu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"But... I'm relieved. I thought everything in this world had been filled like Uruk, but the world still seems beautiful."
Looking at the scenery before him, a smile appeared on Enkidu's face.
Suddenly, he fell silent.
This is...
At this moment, his gaze turned towards the distant north.
He could keenly sense a familiar aura there that he missed dearly.
"Could it be—"
As if noticing something, a joyful voice echoed throughout the screen.
"Could it be... you?"
As he spoke, he slowly stood up.
Enkidu naturally let out a laugh and calmly opened his hands.
"Haha... if we can continue that duel in the plaza... that would be quite delightful."
As soon as the words fell.
Enkidu also let out an incredibly gentle song.
As if to express all the thoughts in his heart—
Hero Enkidu!
His song shook the very earth—the song transformed into the beautiful of the earth, resounding throughout Snowfield.
And this song would draw open the prelude to this Holy Grail War!
Announcing the beginning of this Holy Grail War!
On the other side, after hearing such a song, a lost expression appeared on Gilgamesh's face.
"...Is that you?"
After a brief silence, Gilgamesh immediately let out an extremely joyful laugh.
"Hahahahahahahahaha!!!"
"Ha... such a wonderful thing! Such a coincidental reunion should be praised as proof of my kingship!"
This sudden development dispelled Gilgamesh's plan to slack off.
"Tine! Be happy, it seems this battle is worth me bringing out my true abilities! To conclude the duel in that plaza is not without pleasure. No, if that guy appeared as a Berserker, or... no, let's not say it, to avoid having to specially permit mongrels to listen one by one."
At this moment, Gilgamesh spoke in a calm voice, while also shifting his attention to Tine, who was kneeling beside him.
"Raise your head, Tine."
"This is the elixir of youth. Although you don't need to use it at your age, this medicine is no longer necessary for me. Receive it with gratitude."
He threw the elixir of immortality in his hand to Tine.
The sudden development made her face show a stunned expression.
"Ah...? Y-yes, sir!"

[ Olga Marie Animusphere: I have to say, as expected of the King of Heroes? The elixir of youth, he just gives it away... ]
[ Tohsaka Tokiomi: ... ]
[ .....]
〜In the Worldline of the Fourth Holy Grail War〜
Matou Zouken saw this scene and couldn't help but lose his composure.
After all, this was what he had dreamed of... the elixir of youth, which would allow him to live.
He had searched for so many methods, but had never been able to obtain it.
The little girl on the screen got it without doing anything.
This immediately made the old worm a little jealous.
Jealousy makes me unrecognizable.jpg.
.....
At this moment, Tohsaka Tokiomi could only remain silent.
Why was it that everyone summoned the same Servant, but the treatment was so different?
He had also summoned the King of Heroes...
Why had he never enjoyed such treatment?
Tohsaka Tokiomi also couldn't help but lose his composure.
"Could it be that that king likes children?"
Tohsaka Tokiomi muttered to himself.
(Illyasviel Von Einzbern: ?)
In fact, Gilgamesh didn't dislike children.
Of course, that didn't include homunculi.
However, the reason for such differential treatment was largely due to Tohsaka Tokiomi himself.
In fact, being able to summon Gilgamesh in the Holy Grail War was very good.
Not only did he possess great power, but he didn't have to worry about magic power like the Little Sun(Karna).
And although he seemed difficult to get along with on the surface, he was actually one of the easier types to appease.
As long as you went along with what he said, didn't act hypocritically, and didn't betray this king, there would basically be no problems.
However... Tohsaka Tokiomi committed all these mistakes.
That's why he had such a tragic end.
—
『 Returning to the screen, Gilgamesh's voice continued to echo.
"Since you are to be my subordinate, I shall first command you to do one thing."
"Since you are a child, act like one. Since you do not yet understand the truth of all things, then let your eyes shine with my kingly majesty!"
Tine nodded at these words.
"I'll do my best."
As soon as the words fell, a massive amount of magic power surged forth in front of the girl.
Feeling that terrifying magic power, a surprised expression appeared on Tine's face.
In fact, it could no longer be considered magic power; in some sense, it should be considered high-purity energy elements.
In the astonished gazes of all the viewers, that energy element converged into the King of Heroes' right hand, finally materializing and forming a short sword.
"A key... sword?"
"Don't confuse it with the key the clown brought earlier."
As soon as the words fell, Gilgamesh still held the key sword, pointing its tip towards the sky.
"This is something I myself forged, like a tangible agreement."
"Don't slack off, Tine. Then prove it to me."
The next second, something shocking happened.
The magic power extending from the key sword eroded everything in the surrounding space, pushing open the door to the world itself.
Huge energy fluctuations surged throughout the entire space.
Under the influence of this power, the entire dimension vibrated non-stop.
As if some terrifying thing was about to emerge.
"You must know, if you flinch from the aftermath of a duel (child's play), you shall not be my subordinate."
As soon as the words fell.
"BOOM—!"
The distortion in space became more and more obvious, finally converging at one point.
In the dumbfounded gazes of everyone, a greatsword radiating a terrifying aura appeared in Gilgamesh's hand.
And this Noble Phantasm was incredibly familiar to all the viewers.
The King of Heroes' ultimate trump card—EA 'Sword of Rupture'!
"EA, although you've just woken up and are in a bad mood, temporarily share this feast with me."
"It's nothing, it won't bore anyone."
With these words, Gilgamesh's golden figure soared into the sky.
He instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.
And with Gilgamesh's departure, although the girl had fear of the unknown in her heart.
She still wanted to imprint everything that was about to happen into her eyes. 』

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
And at this moment, all the viewers also showed surprised expressions.
Because this was the first time they had seen such a cautious Gilgamesh.
You know, he hadn't even met the opponent yet, and he had already pulled out his ultimate trump card.
If he had used this trump card when facing Shirou Emiya before, he wouldn't have lost...
After watching so many videos, all the viewers' impression of the King of Heroes was only arrogance.
This was the first time they had seen him so serious without even encountering the opponent.

[ Romani Archaman: A rarely serious King of Heroes? ]
[ Orlando: So that's the King of Heroes' ultimate Noble Phantasm? ]
[ .....]
〜In the Worldline of the Fate/Strange Fake〜
Orlando Reeve looked at the sword, his pupils slightly constricted.
A look of extreme surprise appeared on his face.
"Is this the nameless sword with terrifying power that appeared in the previous data... Let me witness with my own eyes whether those data were exaggerated!"
At this moment, he also focused his attention on the screen.

〜Chat Room〜
[ Waver Velvet: Pulling out EA at the start!? You're not the Gilgamesh I know, who are you? ]
[ Mordred (Saber): Actually, it's understandable, the opponent is Enkidu, the one who, according to legend, could fight the King of Heroes to a draw. ]
[ Fujimaru Ritsuka: I'm really looking forward to the outcome of this battle, the fight between these two will definitely be interesting! ]
[ Shakespeare (Caster): Oh oh oh—!!! What a magnificent scene, the time for performance has arrived, there should be thunderous applause here. ]
[ Shirou Emiya: Seeing such a serious Gilgamesh really surprises me, after all, after watching so many videos, Gilgamesh is rarely that serious, pulling out EA at the start... ]
[ .....]
『 In the Western Great Forest of Snowfield.
"Master, I hope... you will stay here for a while."
At this moment, Enkidu knelt on one knee before his Master, his finger lightly touching the earth.
The next second, terrifying magic power immediately surged forth.
"It's alright, the forest will protect you."
Along with that voice, rapidly growing lush branches concealed their figures from the air, and the earth began to churn with powerful currents of magic power.
In just the blink of an eye, a natural barrier crafted by the forest appeared out of nowhere on the screen.
"I must go. Although I could meet 'him' here, doing so would kill the forest, and more importantly, I couldn't protect you well. Can you forgive me?"
"—"
Hearing his Master's response, a smile appeared on Enkidu's face.
"Thank you, Master. I promise you, as long as this life hasn't reached its end, I will return to your side."
As soon as the words fell, Enkidu stepped onto the earth.
The next second, Enkidu soared into the sky.
At this moment, Gilgamesh and Enkidu both, by prior agreement, chose a desert as their battlefield, and transformed into two powerful masses of magic power, heading towards the desert!
And this scene immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Whether it was the viewers watching the video or the participants of the Holy Grail War.
They were all drawn by such a commotion!
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on these two individuals.
Under the gaze of all, in the vast, boundless desert area south of the town.
In the center of this immense, expansive desert.
A sacred war was about to begin!
In the astonished gazes of all the viewers, Enkidu was the first to appear on the screen.
At this moment, he calmly gazed up at the night sky.
And above, there was only a golden figure like the light of the stars!
And that figure was the King of Heroes Gilgamesh, whom all the viewers were incredibly familiar with!
He was clad in golden armor, holding the terrifyingly powerful [ EA ] in his hand.
Just like that, the two faced each other.
One looked down from the sky, one looked up from the earth.
At this moment, Enkidu and Gilgamesh had eyes only for each other.
At this moment, the two did not exchange many words.
They simply gazed at each other in silence.
The next second.
Both of them simultaneously raised the corners of their mouths.
A smile appeared on both their faces.
At the same time, a powerful aura surged from both of them!
The prelude to this battle was about to begin!
The strongest Noble Phantasms of the two were ready to be unleashed!
"EA, sing to your heart's content." 』
