"Hahahaha, girl, isn't that only natural? Once I kill that bastard, I'll properly teach you not to give people nicknames."
"Die, die, die, you Golden Flash!"
Just then, Gilgamesh suddenly felt a pulling force. Then Gilgamesh was spat out by the Black Mud. Having left the Black Mud, Gilgamesh heard the Evil Saintess's words and roared angrily.
"Are you talking about me, mongrel? Who do you think I am? I am the King. The King bears it, the King permits it, the King carries this world upon his back. Did you think mere malice could control me? Your sin is unforgivable, mongrel!"
Then a flash of gold appeared. Fully armed, Gilgamesh stood amid the Black Mud, opened his treasury once more, raised the Sword of Separation, and brought it down in fury.
"Enuma Elish, awaken, Ea!"
Endless crimson magical energy surged forth. Ea, the Sword of Rupture that represented the severing of the world and the shattering of space, roared once again.
"This is impossible..."
Unable to believe it, the Evil Saintess was swallowed by that destructive crimson magical energy!
As the aftermath faded, the ruins of Ryuudou Temple had been completely erased by that strike. The Evil Saintess was nowhere to be seen. On the open mountaintop, only that black hole, endlessly pouring out Black Mud, remained.
Kiritsugu Emiya stood atop a private house, avoiding the Black Mud flowing through the streets. He watched the red light fading in the direction of Ryuudou Temple when a Black Key shot toward his back.
Time Alter: Double Accel. Facing the sudden ambush, Kiritsugu calmly activated his specialized Magecraft and calmly evaded it.
"Kirei Kotomine."
"Kiritsugu Emiya..."

Rin Tohsaka's Path to Becoming a Demon God—Savior, Kirei Kotomine?
In Fuyuki City's downtown district, raging flames had dyed the sky crimson. Panicked crowds, dragging their families along as they tried to flee the city center, filled the streets alongside traffic jams packed into a complete mess.
Within the city, Kirei Kotomine and Kiritsugu Emiya each stood atop separate residential rooftops, staring at one another from afar.
Kirei stared intently at Kiritsugu. One hand gripped his own heart tightly as he asked the man before him in a trembling voice.
"Kiritsugu Emiya, what is your purpose in participating in this Holy Grail War?"
Kiritsugu held his submachine gun aimed at Kirei. Hearing Kirei's question, he answered without hesitation.
"To save the world!"
Kirei's pupils contracted. When he had first seen Kiritsugu's files at Tokiomi Tohsaka's place, he had discovered that Kiritsugu risked his life on countless assassination jobs, with the gains utterly disproportionate to the risks. He had concluded then that Kiritsugu was someone who could help him understand the meaning of life. Now, after hearing Kiritsugu's wish, Kirei—who had yet to determine good and evil and remained trapped in chaos—burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha, save the world? I understand now, Kiritsugu Emiya."
Having said that, Kirei completely ignored the submachine gun Kiritsugu had aimed at his back. Muttering to himself, he turned around and headed into the distance.
"Saving... saving... Yes, as a servant of the Lord, shouldn't I be saving others...?"
Kiritsugu silently lowered his arm. Watching Kirei's disappearing figure, he once again resolutely crossed over burning houses and hurried toward Mt. Ryudou.
Inside the Garden of Avalon, Rin had no idea that the void within Kirei Kotomine, which had given her headaches for so long, had been filled by a single sentence from Kiritsugu Emiya.
Meanwhile, Rin stood at the edge of the Garden of Avalon, looking down at Mt. Ryudou below.
Just moments ago, the Garden of Avalon had arrived above Mt. Ryudou. Rin looked painfully at the surging waves of black mud below, then turned toward Gilgamesh and Caster beside her.
"Caster, Gilgamesh, do you have any ideas?"
"Ha, girl, shouldn't this be your problem to solve? Don't forget, assisting me in recovering the Holy Grail was the promise you made."
"Uh, stop taking shots at me at a time like this. I really don't have any ideas."
Rin looked at the expanding black hole below and said to Golden Flash with a headache, This has completely gone beyond the original story. There's no way I can handle this... Ah, damn it, did I really screw this up?
Caster stepped forward with a smile.
"Master, if we use the Garden of Avalon as the sealing nexus, I can arrange Magecraft capable of sealing the Holy Grail's magic and Angra Mainyu. However, my ritual absolutely cannot be interrupted during that time."
"Really? That's great! Caster, go do it. Hey, Gilgamesh, what's with that expression? Don't tell me you can't bear to part with this palace?"
Despite Rin's words, Gilgamesh remained serious as he stared at her.
"Fool. You don't actually think that mongrel was destroyed by me just now, do you? That mongrel merely realized she could do nothing against me and has now hidden herself. While the Sealing Ritual is underway, she will definitely launch a counterattack at once."
"Ah, no way. She took Ea head-on and still didn't die?"
"Girl, Magecraft is still far beyond your understanding. Though that mongrel is not a true Magus, she is at least half of one. Magecraft is not so simple."
Seeing Rin suddenly become dispirited, Gilgamesh could not help but comfort her.
"Still, girl, even in my era, someone like you would have been considered decent talent. Don't be discouraged. Now fulfill your duty, assist me, and make a decision."
Hearing Gilgamesh's consolation, Rin looked up at him. Golden Flash... this guy actually knows how to comfort people. I never would have expected it. Ah, crap, this guy can hear my thoughts.
Sure enough, Gilgamesh's eye twitched, revealing the irritation in his heart.
Rin decisively acted cute toward Gilgamesh, opening her bright, watery eyes wide and looking at him pitifully.
"Um, I didn't mean it... It's your fault for eavesdropping on my thoughts..."
Looking at the girl joking around in front of him, Gilgamesh waved his hand in exasperation, indicating that he would let it slide this time.
"Enough, girl. Quickly give me a plan."
"Ah, understood. Then, Gilgamesh, do you still have gems like the ones you gave me before? Similar ones are fine too. Fire-element ones would be best."
Gilgamesh did not answer. He merely summoned golden ripples and brought forth a golden tray holding a large pile of pure mana gems and rubies containing immense fire elemental energy.
Looking at the pile of gems before her, Rin secretly swallowed. She snatched them from Gilgamesh's hand and spoke.
"Then, Caster, help me turn this batch of gems into my spell formula first. After that, focus entirely on arranging the seal. Gilgamesh, while we're making the gems, please stop the Black Mud from spreading. Once I complete the spell formula, we'll use this Hanging Gardens as our base and launch a full counterattack to seal her in one stroke!"
Caster smiled and nodded at Rin. Gilgamesh nodded as well, indicating his agreement with Rin Tohsaka's plan. Then they each began their separate tasks.
Gilgamesh rode the newly summoned Sun Chariot to Fuyuki City's downtown district and began operating it to continuously release Solar Fire, blocking the Black Mud's advance.
At the same time, the Garden of Avalon continuously fired Mage Cannons, working with Gilgamesh to halt the Black Mud.
Rin and Caster had already returned to the main hall. Rin laboriously placed the tray piled with gems in the center of the hall. Then she extended a finger, gathered magical energy, and began writing Runic Alphabet characters across the hall floor.
Soon, Rin had covered the ground of the hall in densely packed Runic Alphabet characters. She stood up and faced Caster.
"Caster, this is the spell formula for my King of Witch Hunters. Since I'm still young, the mana cost of this spell formula is too great a burden for me. I had planned to combine it with Jewel Magecraft and compress the spell formula into gems. That way, I can cast several of these spell formulas at once, while the magical energy of the gems themselves bears most of the burden."
"Master, that is an excellent idea."
"But Caster, I'm stuck at the step of compressing the spell formula into the gems."
As she spoke, Rin picked up a gem and began demonstrating. Sure enough, as the runes were continuously compressed into the gem, cracks appeared in it before it shattered into fragments across the floor.
Having watched the entire process, Caster, a Magus from the Age of Gods, immediately saw the problem and spoke.
"Master, I know what the problem is. Leave this step to me. It requires Triple Casting. While compressing the runes and transforming the gem, one must also use Reinforcement Magecraft to stabilize the gem's structure."
"Ah, Triple Casting?"
"Yes, it is merely a casting technique. Since Master can cast while focusing on two things at once through sheer talent, I believe Master will quickly grasp this technique as well. But for now, leave it to me."
"Mm, then I'm counting on you, Caster. Once this batch of gems is complete, we'll have a Flame Army."
I'll boldly put out a reward: if my results are good on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I'll add three extra chapters on Monday!

Rin Tohsaka's Path to Becoming a Demon God—Shirou Emiya?
Deep beneath the main hall of the Garden of Avalon, Caster arrived alone. Accompanied by a pleasant song, a magic circle appeared within the empty room.
As Caster took her position and began the ritual to seal Magecraft, a massive magic circle simultaneously emerged around the outside of the Garden of Avalon.
As Caster's Sealing Ritual began, the Black Mud on the ground erupted into unprecedented turmoil. One black Irisviel after another struggled out of the Black Mud, raised their heads, and gazed at the Garden of Avalon in the sky with hollow eyes.
As the first Mud Doll wearing black Irisviel's appearance let out a piercing scream, countless identical screams echoed throughout Fuyuki City. The ordinary people who had not yet managed to evacuate Fuyuki City clutched their ears in agony.
Then the army of Mud Dolls continuously gathered together, piling into a giant hand made of countless Mud Dolls that reached for the Garden of Avalon.
Seeing the giant hand stretching upward, Rin decisively notified Semiramis through their contract to activate the full defense of the Garden. At the same time, Gilgamesh received Rin's call for help.
"Wow, this number is way too ridiculous!"
Rin exclaimed, then threw six fiery-red gems at the giant hand. As the gems made contact with it, the Witch-King Slayer appeared once more!
With Caster's help, Rin's idea had finally been realized. Six Witch-King Slayers formed around their respective rubies, roaring as they clung to the giant hand. Their terrifying temperature of three thousand degrees continuously incinerated the Mud Dolls around them.
But a mere six Witch-King Slayers were still insignificant before the endless army of Mud Dolls. As more and more Mud Dolls climbed over them, the Witch-King Slayers were quickly buried within the giant hand. Only when they occasionally roared and emerged from the hand's surface could anyone know that, before their magical energy ran out, these Witch-King Slayers were still faithfully destroying Mud Dolls.
The Garden of Avalon's interception spell formula, Black Barrel, was also activated at that moment. Eleven massive black stone slabs appeared around the Hanging Gardens. Once activated, the slabs continuously fired extraordinary light projectiles, each one equivalent to a falling meteor and possessing Anti-Army destructive power.
As the Garden of Avalon opened full fire, Rin could no longer spare attention for the Mud Dolls. She weakly sat on the ground, tightly gripping gems and constantly converting their mana to support her Servants and the Garden of Avalon.
Gilgamesh, driving the Sun Chariot, landed on the Garden of Avalon at that moment. Seeing Rin sitting on the ground, he shook his head.
"Girl, rest for a while. If this continues, your Magic Circuits will break."
That was right. After repeatedly overloading her Magic Circuits throughout the day, Rin's Magic Circuits were already on the verge of collapse.
Unwillingly, Rin sighed and looked at Gilgamesh.
"All right, Gilgamesh, I'll leave this place to you. I'll organize a second line of defense in the garden."
"Hmph, go, girl. Don't forget the Command Spells if you encounter danger."
Rin nodded. She then cut off the magical energy supply to the Garden of Avalon and turned to walk into the garden before the palace.
Seeing Rin leave, Gilgamesh stood at the very edge of the platform. Behind him were hundreds of golden ripples, and countless Noble Phantasms rained down upon the giant hand like a golden storm.
Under that golden downpour, the giant hand was peeled away layer by layer, growing smaller and smaller until the Witch-King Slayers inside were revealed. Looking at the Witch-King Slayers summoned by Rin's spell formula, Gilgamesh disdainfully curled his lips. With a thought, the rubies serving as the Witch-King Slayers' cores exploded, transforming into terrifying flames. The wind pressure from the explosion blew the giant hand apart in an instant.
Gilgamesh nodded in satisfaction at his results, then muttered to himself.
"Hmph, girl, that is how Magecraft should be used."
Although the results were outstanding, if Rin had been there, she would definitely have complained that not everyone could use Magecraft in such a lavish way.
After arriving in the garden, Rin held gems in one hand and converted them into magical energy, supplying as much as possible to her Servants. At the same time, she continuously placed gems throughout the garden, hoping that when Angra Mainyu climbed onto the Garden of Avalon, the army of Witch-King Slayers that would suddenly emerge after Rin activated them would give Angra Mainyu a huge surprise.
After parting ways with Kiritsugu Emiya, Kirei Kotomine walked alone through the apocalyptic city district when he suddenly heard a little boy crying. Following the sound, Kirei saw a red-haired boy sitting beside the corpses of a couple amid the ruins, crying loudly.
Kirei silently walked behind the boy. Looking at the shattered family before him, he spoke calmly.
"Are you willing to be saved by me?"
The boy was startled by the sudden voice. He wiped away his tears, revealed hollow eyes, turned around, and mechanically asked.
"Can you save my parents?"
"I'm sorry. I cannot."
The boy looked at Kirei without saying anything. He merely turned away, picked up a broken steel bar, and began digging through the rubble.
Kirei did not step forward to help. He merely silently watched the boy, whose eyes resembled his own from the past.
As the Garden of Avalon's interception spell formula, Black Barrel, fired in the distance, the enormous wind pressure from the explosions swept over them. The boy was blown up by the gust and slammed hard into the ruins. The already unstable rubble began to shake and was about to collapse.
Watching stones fall from the ruins, Kirei reached out to help another person for the first time in his life. He stepped forward, pulled the boy into his arms, and raised his right arm to block the falling stones.
Once the disturbance settled, Kirei put the boy down and silently stepped back. So this is what it feels like to save someone. It really is delightful! Without realizing it, Kirei showed such a natural smile for the first time.
The boy was now struggling to drag his parents' corpses into the hole he had just dug. Then, with hands rubbed raw and bloody, he continuously shoveled dirt into the hole. Only after he had finished did the boy turn around and look at Kirei with hollow eyes.
"Father, why did you save me?"
"Because through that man, I learned the meaning of my life: to extend a helping hand and save more people."
