King Gilgamesh was a tall, muscular man with a strong and powerful aura. He had a sharp gaze that seemed to pierce through anything he looked at.
Upon seeing Fu Yuan and the others, King Gilgamesh stood up from his throne and walked towards them.
"Welcome, Fu Yuan, Medusa Lily, and the others from Chaldea. I have been eagerly waiting for your arrival," King Gilgamesh said, extending his hand to Fu Yuan.
Fu Yuan took King Gilgamesh's hand and said, "We are honored to meet you, King Gilgamesh. We have come to help you fix this Singularity."

Fu Yuan nodded and said, "We will do our best to help you, King Gilgamesh. But before we do that, we would like to know more about this Singularity and the enemies we are facing."
King Gilgamesh nodded and said, "Very well. I will tell you everything you need to know about this Singularity and the enemies we are facing."

"Firstly, this Singularity is caused by the Holy Grail War. The Holy Grail War is a battle royale between the strongest Servants in the world, summoned by the seven Grand Casters. The winner of the Holy Grail War will be granted one wish by the Holy Grail."
"However, this Holy Grail War is different from the ones in the past. This time, the Holy Grail has caused a Singularity, and the enemies we are facing are not Servants, but monsters. These monsters are the creations of Humanity's Evil, who has returned to this world."
King Gilgamesh paused for a moment before continuing.
"Humanity's Evil is none other than Goddess Tiamat, the creation goddess of Mesopotamia. She was banished to the Imaginary Space by the gods, but because of the Holy Grail War, she was able to return to this world. She is now sleeping in the deep sea of the Persian Gulf, imprisoned by Merlin in a deathly slumber."
"However, Goddess Tiamat's slumber is not eternal. She will eventually wake up and wreak havoc upon this world. That is why we must fix this Singularity and defeat Humanity's Evil before she wakes up."
King Gilgamesh looked at Fu Yuan and the others, his gaze filled with determination.
"I believe that with your help, we can defeat Humanity's Evil and fix this Singularity. Will you help us, Fu Yuan, Medusa Lily, and the others from Chaldea?"
Fu Yuan looked at King Gilgamesh, his gaze filled with determination as well.
"We will help you, King Gilgamesh. We will do our best to defeat Humanity's Evil and fix this Singularity."
And so, Fu Yuan, Medusa Lily, and the others from Chaldea joined forces with King Gilgamesh to fix this Singularity and defeat Humanity's Evil.
