Thanks to Our Top Donor for the Tip / King Against King

Therefore, whatever Tohsaka Rin Kirei Kotomine's prediction.

So you're going to Church this time?

Tohsaka Rin already knows where Fujimaru Kyoya is. She confronts Kirei Kotomine directly, shifting all the blame onto him. If Kirei Kotomine doesn't have any backup plans, she'll take the opportunity to find out the truth about what happened ten years ago.

"Wait for me to come back."

Leaving behind only this sentence, Fujimaru Kyoya took Gil and left the Tohsaka Family, heading towards the Fuyuki Church.

"Wow~ Brother Fujimaru knows so much!"

On their way to the Fuyuki Church, the two, having nothing better to do, started chatting. Gil was clearly very interested in the "Prophet" abilities displayed by Fujimaru Kyoya.

After all, the condition for activating Destiny Perception is a person, which means that all information about Caster is something that Fujimaru Kyoya should not know at this time.

Tohsaka Rin actually understood the intricacies of the situation better than anyone else, but out of respect for Fujimaru Kyoya at that moment, she didn't point it out.

It can only be said that, as Magecraft, Tohsaka Rin is far from reaching the passing grade.

However, it is precisely this immaturity that makes Gil and Fujimaru Kyoya like this girl.

"Even if you had All-Knowing Star, you couldn't see it?"

"Haven't I already said that there's interference from other Clairvoyance? Everything related to the Holy Grail War is becoming increasingly unclear as time goes on. I'll just look at things that are closer to the present."

"Then the belt you gave me?"

Fujimaru Kyoya touched the extravagantly ornate belt around his waist. Of course, he wouldn't refuse Gil's gadgets; after all, if reality allowed, who wouldn't want to be Nobita Nobi?

"It's just a toy, but it's an extremely useful life-saving Noble Phantasm for you, so don't lose it."

Gil was acting mysteriously, like Riddler from Fuyuki. Fujimaru Kyoya saw this and wished he could punch the little brat.

This boy in women's clothing is so cute, one punch from him would probably make him cry for a long time.

Unfortunately, the Fuyuki Church arrived.

"Oh? What a rare guest! I didn't expect it to be you, not Rin, who came here."

Kirei Kotomine looked at the "Master" who had come to report and immediately revealed a playful expression, even a hint of amusement.

Isn't this the same tactic Emiya Kiritsugu ten years ago?

This Holy Grail War has been fought countless times, it's just the same old thing in a different guise.

But that little boy next to me looks kind of familiar.

"That's right, I am now the Master of Archer Fujimaru Kyoya. Is this the Command Seal I need to confirm?"

Fujimaru Kyoya and showed the Command Seal that Kirei Kotomine had drawn with an oil-based pen, while slowly moving closer to him.

With his killing intent and fighting spirit completely subdued, Fujimaru Kyoya entered a Meditative Absorption state of Limitless Zen, in which no one could detect his killing intent.

Kirei Kotomine's attack on Lancer's Master clearly had ulterior motives, and the fact that he didn't inform Tohsaka Rin beforehand suggests a clear intention to go it alone. What's more, who knows how many Command Seal this guy possesses?

"No need, what kind of relationship do we have? Why be so formal?"

"Really? Thank you so much. Oh, by the way, my Master Tohsaka Rin, asked me to pass on a message to you."

"What?"

Kirei Kotomine sensed something was wrong. If Tohsaka Rin had something to ask, she shouldn't have sent a message through Fujimaru Kyoya.

Whether by phone or in person, one would never send an apprentice who has only been with the school for less than a year to inquire about such matters.

She asked... how exactly did her father die back then?

Killing intent erupted in that instant, and the Limitless Zen was activated.

A powerful punch was thrown, but it wasn't aimed at any vital points. Although Kirei Kotomine was an enemy, the truth about the Tohsaka Family back then still needed to be clarified.

However, this attack still gave Kirei Kotomine time to react, and his reflexes as a former Executor came into play.

Eight Black Keys were unleashed simultaneously, layer upon layer, to block this punch. But could they withstand it?

"Boom!"

It's hard to imagine that a human could throw such a punch. This punch shattered the Executor's most prized weapon into pieces, Kirei Kotomine himself was sent flying backward, coughing up blood.

If it weren't for the sufficient defensive properties of his Cassock, he might have lost consciousness by now.

But the crisis was not over. A golden light shot out from behind the wall, but this sneak attack would not work against Fujimaru Kyoya, who possessed the "First Before First."

Chapter 153 Thank you for the generous donation from the top donor!

A gust of wind swept past Fujimaru Kyoya's ear. This kind of attack was not difficult for him to dodge, given his First Before First. Moreover, this attack was meant as a warning, not to take Fujimaru Kyoya's life.

Even King of Heroes wouldn't resort to such a low tactic as a sneak attack against a weakling.

"Kirei, you look absolutely ridiculous."

Gilgamesh looked at Kirei Kotomine, who had been knocked to the ground with a single punch. He thought to himself, "Time waits for no man, or youth prevails over strength. Even the Fuyuki badger Fuyuki had his day."

"Gilgamesh, be careful, that guy's Servant is suspicious."

Kirei Kotomine struggled to his feet. Even though the punch hadn't hit any vital organs, it had still broken several of his ribs. If it weren't for the Black Mud of All the World's Evil transforming his body over the years, he might have suffered internal bleeding.

"Servant? There was indeed the aura of a Servant, but it seemed to have hidden it just now. You bastard, are you Assassin's Master?"

Faced with Gilgamesh's question, Fujimaru Kyoya did not answer but only frowned.

Although he had considered that Kirei Kotomine's trump card was very strong, it was a bit like cheating if it was this strong, which also explained why Gil's Gate of Babylon was empty.

So that's where the big head is.

As for Gil, the moment Gilgamesh appeared, he vanished without a trace using some mysterious artifact.

"The Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, is here proves that the truth of what happened back then wasn't what you said."

Fujimaru Kyoya had heard Tohsaka Rin say that her father died at the hands of Matou Kariya during the last Holy Grail War, probably due to a crime of passion.

Tohsaka Rin's mother witnessed this "truth" at the Fuyuki Church and was attacked by Matou Kariya. Although she survived, she committed suicide not long afterward.

It's the Fuyuki Church again. How interesting.

"Kirei, it seems you can't hide what happened back then anymore."

Gilgamesh laughed mockingly, and at the same time, golden light began to emerge behind him, and weapons poked their heads out from the treasury. This answer was, in effect, the answer itself.

Fujimaru Kyoya drew the Holy Sword from his back and imitated Lloyd's former self with his Imitation Fist. After being inexplicably summoned last time, he had reached a new level in his Imitation Fist skills.

"There's really no need to keep it a secret any longer. It was I who teamed up with Gilgamesh Tohsaka Tokiomi then. After all, I wouldn't have been able to succeed without his tacit approval."

Kirei Kotomine felt the Black Mud surging within his body, and soon his injuries began to heal.

The Holy Grail War ten years ago was a life-changing event for him. His father's death made him confront the distortion within himself, and at the same time, under Gilgamesh's instigation, he completed the great task of betraying his teacher.

"As a Master provides Mana, Tokiomi has indeed done a good job, but as a subject, he has overstepped his bounds."

Gilgamesh no attempt to hide his contempt for his former Master; in fact, given the Servant lineup back then, he could have single-handedly wiped them out in a single night.

But Tokiomi, that short-haired and short-sighted fellow, was so afraid of being outnumbered and falling into a disadvantageous position. He really had no understanding of the king's strength. It would be much more peaceful if he died.

"Then this next blow won't be easy, you bastard."

Gilgamesh looked at the familiar face before him, but showed no mercy whatsoever. Several Noble Phantasm shot out like streaks of light. Even Servant wouldn't dare to take them head-on; if they landed on an ordinary person, they would surely die without a burial place.

"Boom!"

A booming sound came, but Gilgamesh was not happy, because he felt that all the attacks had been blocked.

But it's good, it's rare for me to stretch my muscles.

More golden halos appeared behind Gilgamesh, and streams of light shot out from them. Fujimaru Kyoya seemed to be suppressed and remained on the defensive.

A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat. When facing a top-tier Servant, even if you are not at a disadvantage in terms of weaponry, the continuous attacks will eventually cause you to be overwhelmed.

His Noble Phantasm sliced through his skin, drawing blood, yet Fujimaru Kyoya remained rooted to the spot. Had he lost even the ability to escape, let alone attack?

"You bastard, how dare you covet my collection!"

Gilgamesh had initially been in the lead, suddenly became enraged. Although he appeared to have the upper hand, many of his Noble Phantasm inexplicably lost contact with him during the series of attacks.

This proves one thing: the guy in front of him Servant stole his Noble Phantasm. How could he accept such a thing?

Since you want the Noble Phantasm, then I'll give you the satisfaction all at once.

The Gate of Babylon unfolds, and a hundred Noble Phantasm fire simultaneously.

In that instant, the Noble Phantasm almost completely covered the entire Fuyuki Church. This time, Fujimaru Kyoya had absolutely no room to dodge, and the Servant hidden in the shadows would reveal his true form.

Pity...

"Thank you so much, top donor, for the hundred Noble Phantasm! It's far too much of a waste. Thank you so much!"

A still-childish voice rang out, followed by a golden light identical to Gilgamesh's, which absorbed all the incoming Noble Phantasm.

With such a bountiful harvest, Gil finally shed her disguise and appeared before her other self.

"You... you actually..."

Gilgamesh was shocked, utterly shocked, and utterly shocked. He couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes. If taking away his Noble Phantasm only made him angry, then now he felt utterly ashamed.

Imagine a younger version of yourself, dressed in a light, pleated skirt, appearing before your adult self. Even someone as strong as Gilgamesh would be furious.

"You bastard, how dare you treat me like this!"

Gilgamesh finally understood what had been causing his unease all those days—it was definitely because this brat was trying on women's clothes.

"Haha~ Why the rush? It's just women's clothing; there's something much more exciting coming up."

Gil reached into the Gate of Babylon, grabbed something, and then threw it like a dart at her grown-up self.

Sneak attack?

Gilgamesh knew this couldn't be such a low-level tactic as a sneak attack. Without a second thought, he grasped the object, which was square and very thin; it was more like a photograph than a concealed weapon.

"I will annihilate you all! I will definitely annihilate you all!"

Gilgamesh tore the photograph in his hand to shreds, while Kirei Kotomine was standing nearby, secretly glimpsed something in the photo. It seemed to show a blonde child sitting on a duck, her dress and white stockings conveying innocence and beauty.

If the person in the photo were someone else, Gilgamesh would simply admire it.

But if he were the one in the picture, then he would truly be living in Bengbu.

Chapter 154 King vs. King 21/102

Young Gil was unhappy with her grown-up self, not only because of the huge personality changes between them, but also because the other person was no longer the same as herself.

Ten years ago, the Holy Grail War ended abruptly with Saber's sword destroying the Holy Grail War Holy Grail.

Unlike other Servant vanished, Gilgamesh was consumed by the Black Mud. Although the Black Mud could not bewitch him or successfully give him flesh, its unseen influence remained.

The mind drives the body, and the body, in turn, influences the mind.

The Black Mud did not affect Gilgamesh initially, but since his body was a gift from the Black Mud, his consciousness was inevitably affected after ten years of wear and tear.

Irritable, easily angered, and prone to resorting to violence to solve problems.

These are things that King of Heroes shouldn't have; they are things that Gil... no, even the adult Gilgamesh would look down upon.

Gilgamesh felt ashamed of Gil's Cross-dressing Photo, but didn't Gil also feel ashamed of the King of Heroes before him?

This is no longer myself.

"Thank you for still being so stubborn and offering up this Noble Phantasm. You've really gone to too much trouble."

Having received another wave of Noble Phantasm, Gil's smile grew even more mocking. This kind of provocation would be useless against Gilgamesh in his normal state, but now it had a surprising effect.

"Heh~ You think you can restrain me like this?"

Gilgamesh furious. Even though he was influenced by the Black Mud, he could not fall for it again. He realized that the previous tactic of randomly launching the Gate of Babylon was no longer viable.

"What I cannot do, you cannot do either, otherwise the Noble Phantasm will be taken back by me. Even if you just retrieved hundreds of Noble Phantasm in one go, it will still be meaningless."

That's right, it's meaningless.

Gil's expression also turned serious, because what the other party said was absolutely right. Once he launched the Gate of Babylon, everything he had just obtained would be taken back, and a mere hundred or so Noble Phantasm were simply not enough for the Gate of Babylon.

It is the culmination of all human hopes, containing not only the prototypes of all Noble Phantasm, but also everything that humans can imagine.

It wouldn't be surprising if a nuclear reactor were found inside.

Faced with humanity's endless expectations, those Noble Phantasm are indeed not much of an advantage; their more fatal flaw lies in close combat.
