『 At this moment. Enkidu's entire body transformed into a divine spear capable of piercing through heaven and earth, advancing at an incredibly high speed.
Soon, it collided with the " Sword of Rupture " that was constantly tearing apart the world.
Then—
"BOOM—!"
Deafening roars echoed!
The collision of power and power generated a huge shockwave.
And this shockwave actually flattened the distortion of space itself, along with everything around it.
Under the influence of these two's powers, countless lightning bolts and powerful magic surged throughout the entire space.
The entire desert transformed into a scene like the end of the world! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
The spectators watched in stunned silence, overwhelmed by the sheer power of these two individuals.
In this moment, they finally understood why Enkidu and Gilgamesh had chosen the desert as their battlefield.
If this clash had taken place in a city, it would have been reduced to rubble within minutes.
.....
『 Gradually, the power of the Noble Phantasm also slowly disappeared due to the mutual cancellation of the two.
But even so, the remaining power of the two still stirred up tornadoes in the vicinity... 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
And at this moment, the Heroic Spirits, Magus, and Magicians in all the worldlines were no longer calm at all.
This was the Noble Phantasm of the Chain of Heaven, Enkidu...
This was the first time they had seen Enkidu's Noble Phantasm!
.....
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Tohsaka Tokiomi: This is Enkidu's Noble Phantasm... No wonder it could attract the attention of the King of Heroes! ]
[ Olga Marie Animusphere: I think I finally understand why they chose to fight in the desert. If they fought in the city... the consequences would be unimaginable! ]
[ Faldeus Dioland: It's really a headache. They've caused such a big commotion again. I'll have to come up with reasons to explain to the citizens. ]
[ Kotomine Kirei: Regarding this matter, I feel I'm quite qualified to speak, after all, I've experienced quite a lot. Using an excuse like a gas leak should be enough. ]
[ Faldeus: Gas leak... That is indeed a very good excuse. I see, I've learned something, thank you, senior. ]
[ Orlando Reeve: ...This is the Noble Phantasm of the King of Heroes and Enkidu! ]
[ .....]
〜In the Worldline of the Fate/Strange Fake〜
Orlando also watched everything on the screen with extreme solemnity.
"It seems the information was correct. The strength of that King of Heroes is indeed extraordinary, and there's also that Enkidu..."
At this moment, even his heart was filled with a sense of heaviness.
After all, the participants of this Holy Grail War were indeed quite outrageous.
Having the super-scale Enkidu and Gilgamesh was one thing.
There was also the Pale Rider, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
"Just thinking about it gives me a headache."
—
『 "...What's going on?"
The commotion created by Gilgamesh and Enkidu also woke up the little girl.
After a brief silence.
Rumble—!
A sound like the tearing of the earth echoed throughout the room.
"It's thunder!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"Thunder, so scary..."
Seeing the girl's frightened appearance, the Pale Rider, the old father, finally couldn't sit still.
So...
The " Darkness " in the corner of the room suddenly rose, gently enveloping the bed to protect the girl from the light and sound spilling in through the window.
Then, another " Darkness " silently slipped out of the window crack, leaping out of the house.
" Darkness "—a part of the Pale Rider—rode the north wind stirred up by its own magic power, heading south of the town.
And that direction was precisely where Enkidu and Gilgamesh were clashing. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
Seeing this scene, the Heroic Spirits, Magus, and Magicians in all the worldlines once again showed excited expressions.
Countless messages appeared in the group chat again.
.....
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Tohsaka Rin: No way? The Holy Grail War has just begun, and it's already turning into a three-way free-for-all? ]
[ Romani Archaman: A battle between the Rider of the Apocalypse, the King of Heroes, and the Chain of Heaven... It seems impossible, no matter how you think about it. ]
[ Olga Marie Animusphere: They're all quite heavy hitters. Could it be that the Pale Rider wants to take on two at once? ]
[ Cú Chulainn (Lancer): It seems impossible, no matter how you think about it. Both the King of Heroes and Enkidu are a headache to deal with individually, let alone taking on two at once. ]
[ .....]
At this moment, all the spectators were looking forward to the next development.
『 After the commotion of the two gradually subsided, Gilgamesh and Enkidu both landed on the ground simultaneously.
"I'm relieved."
"Although your extraordinarily memorable appearance is bewildering, your inner self is not equally immature."
Gilgamesh's voice echoed thus.
"However..."
"To specifically come to the desert to meet me, you're still as willful as ever. You would choose to prioritize the foolish forest over entertaining me, only you would do such a thing."
While speaking, Gilgamesh also noticed some abnormalities in the desert.
"Although it's a desolate place, at least there are sand worms and rats. Have you finally matured enough to discern life?"
To these words, Enkidu shook his head.
"I don't have that qualification. How I, as a tool, conduct myself is entirely up to the user (master). Ah, however, this choice is based on my own judgment; it's enough for me to be hated by the desert."
Hearing these words, Gilgamesh fell silent.
Then...
"Still speaking like that? You haven't changed even after dying once."
"And you, though alive, have been reborn as a tyrant."
At this moment, the two bickered like children.
"Indeed. If my younger self knew my current self, I might even commit suicide."
While speaking, the blade of the " Sword of Rupture " in Gilgamesh's hand began to rotate.
At the same time, countless golden ripples emerged behind him.
Seeing this scene, Enkidu chuckled softly.
"Is that so?"
"If your childhood self was truly the child that Sanhant spoke of, I think you would still choose the path of living. Not for the future, but for the citizens of Uruk who are still alive in this very moment."
As these words fell, terrifying magic power surged from his body.
Then, he began to manipulate the surrounding sand...
Meanwhile, the golden-clad Gilgamesh flew into mid-air.
Countless golden ripples emerged one after another.
Soon, from those golden ripples, one terrifying Noble Phantasm after another, gleaming with cold light, appeared.
On the other side, Enkidu was still manipulating the sand to form various weapons.
Then, before the shocked gaze of all the spectators, the two torrents collided.
At this moment. Golden ripples continuously emerged behind Gilgamesh, and terrifying Noble Phantasms shot out one after another.
On the other side, Enkidu crafted the surrounding sand into one terrifying weapon after another.
The two powers collided, immediately erupting in a series of roars.
The terrifying sound of metal clashing echoed through the air!
At this moment, countless golden Noble Phantasms and sand weapons intertwined continuously.
Feeling the vibrations in the air, both merely gazed calmly at the other.
Just then, Enkidu's eyes suddenly narrowed!
He sensed something humorous silently approaching during their battle...
If it were a normal presence, he wouldn't have cared much.
But that presence unexpectedly gave him a sense of disgust...
This feeling...
While controlling his attacks, he also directed his attention to the distant north.
"They've arrived."
Seeing his dearest friend's actions, Gilgamesh couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
The excitement in his heart gradually calmed down.
"Oh?" While speaking, he also directed his attention to the distant north.
However, he didn't sense anything...
Aside from a few faint presences, there was nothing strange.
But even so, he didn't doubt Enkidu too much.
He knew very well that the other party was a Heroic Spirit with the skill of sensing presences.
Their sensing ability was a little bit better than his own...
As for those faint presences, he didn't care about them at all.
These presences had been there since the beginning of the battle.
The two of them were fighting under the observation of many Mages.
However, before this, they clearly hadn't paid much attention to these people.
But now it was different.
Enkidu actually sensed something like a natural enemy.
"...It seems something unpleasant has come, probably my natural enemy."
Hearing these words, Gilgamesh frowned slightly.
"A curse of death, perhaps..."
While speaking, a serious expression appeared on his face.
"...Is that so? For me, it was truly a blunder to be so engrossed in pleasure that I forgot about the thief eyeing my treasure (Holy Grail)."
Hearing these words, Enkidu chuckled, teasingly saying.
"Does your 'thief' include me?"
"Do you need the Holy Grail? If it's just a half-baked wish-granting device, you could be one yourself."
"The most I can do is imitate. However, my wish has already been granted anyway, and my master doesn't seek the Holy Grail."
Listening to their conversation, all the spectators couldn't help but be slightly stunned...
After all, the amount of information in their conversation was indeed a bit large...
Judging by these words, could it be that Enkidu has the ability to create a Holy Grail?
For a moment, all the spectators showed extremely surprised expressions. 』
『 .....』
〜In the Worldline of the Fifth Holy Grail War〜
Tohsaka Rin immediately showed a surprised expression.
"No way, creating a Holy Grail, can such a thing really be done? And if such a thing can be done, why participate in the Holy Grail War?"
At this moment, a look of disbelief appeared on Tohsaka's face.
Meanwhile, Red A was more concerned about another matter.
"These two aren't the kind of beings who would say such things lightly. That means that Enkidu might actually be able to create a Holy Grail, but it should be different from the Holy Grail we imagine."
Red A was indeed correct.
Enkidu could indeed create a Holy Grail.
However, the Holy Grail he created was actually more like the Holy Grail in the Chaldea world.
It didn't have any wish-granting abilities; it primarily served as a source of magic power.
—
And at this moment, in the entire group chat, all the spectators couldn't help but complain.
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi: Wait a minute, the information in this conversation seems a bit much. Enkidu seems to be able to act as a Holy Grail. How is such a thing possible? ]
[ Olga Marie Animusphere: Isn't this ability a bit too heaven-defying? To be able to create an omnipotent wish-granting device... ]
[ Enkidu: No, the Holy Grail I create isn't as powerful as you imagine. At most, it's a source of magic power filled with immense magic. ]
[ Ryougi Shiki: That's still a pretty amazing ability, but compared to that, I'm more interested in his other meaning. Does he have no other wishes? Does that mean Enkidu's wish was to meet the King of Heroes? ]
[ Waver Velvet: That's the only possibility, isn't it... I'm touched. ]
[ .....]
All the spectators were discussing animatedly.
The content on the screen continued to play.
『 Sensing the increasingly close presence, Enkidu frowned.
"However, I have an obligation to protect my master, so I cannot be hindered and disappear in this place. This time, I'll escape first, and we can discuss it next time."
These words made Gilgamesh's face show dissatisfaction.
"What kind of mongrel is this master that makes you say such things? Let me discern if this person is worthy."
Hearing these words, Enkidu chuckled as if he had heard something amusing, then shook his head.
"You can't, can you? All you can measure are gods and humans, and then the taste of wine, right?"
"?" At this moment, a big question mark couldn't help but appear above Gilgamesh's head.
Even he hadn't expected the other party to show such an attitude...
At this moment, he hadn't thought at all that Enkidu's master was not human...
At this moment, Gilgamesh was extremely puzzled.
But he said with some disappointment.
"In that case, the feast's continuation will be discussed after the thieves are dealt with."
"You can't be like this, Gil. A king shouldn't show such a dispirited expression. After all, making everyone uneasy is more troublesome than the fear brought by a tyrant."
"You, who still plan to escape, are now expounding on the way of a king. Even if you are a being of a thousand transformations, you still haven't changed."
As these words just fell.
Gilgamesh's body surged with powerful magic, and the corner of his mouth curved slightly upward.
At the same time, he once again raised the Sword of Rupture in his hand.
Along with this action, the surrounding Noble Phantasms emitted buzzing sounds, responding to the Sword of Rupture.
"This is the final blow tonight. Take it as a promise of reunion."
"I certainly intend to."
With these words, Enkidu's entire body was enveloped in the magic power stored by becoming one with the earth.
"I plan to simply escape. Although the Sword of Opening Heaven will surely be displeased if used as a diversion."
"Don't speak foolishly. It is the natural law of all creation that will be blinded by my power, is it not?"
In their conversation, both of them simultaneously revealed a smile.
The next second.
Two terrifying beams of light intertwined.
The two powerful Noble Phantasms, their power enhanced, crossed paths and branded that evidence upon the world.
(Gaia: You're so noble, you're amazing!)
As the two Noble Phantasms clashed, a deafening roar erupted.
And amidst such commotion, before the shocked gaze of everyone.
An incredibly huge hollow appeared in the land called the desert.
And at this moment, whether it was the Mages observing this scene or the spectators watching the video outside the screen, they all felt a hint of bewilderment at the power of the two, and couldn't help but fall silent... 』
