Illya's Multiverse Odyssey

Deep within Fuyuki Cathedral, Kirei Kotomine and Gilgamesh had just witnessed this scene.

Su Ning already knowing so many secrets was shocking enough for Kirei Kotomine, and he had been weighing whether to come clean directly or continue deceiving him.

But with Su Ning's move, even if he wanted to deceive, he no longer could.

"Crack--"

The golden wine glass was crushed into fragments, and crimson wine slowly dripped through Gilgamesh's fingers onto the priceless carpet below.

"That..."

For the first time, Kirei Kotomine found himself at a loss for words.

Gilgamesh, however, after a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes, suddenly burst into loud laughter.

Chapter 16: Seventy to One Thousand

"Interesting! This little girl is truly too interesting! Hahaha! To think she could bring this king such pleasure--"

"Then what do we do next?"

"Naturally, we wait for them here. Surely you don't expect this king to go looking for them? Are they worthy?"

"But, Berserker and Archer joining forces--"

"So what? Kotomine, do you not believe in this king's strength?"

"..."

On the dark, desolate street, Rin Tohsaka fell into deep thought. After a moment, she gently nodded.

"Fine! If what you say is true, then I agree to join forces with you!"

"A wise decision. As the oldest king, Gilgamesh possesses Grand-level strength." With a thought, Heracles ceased his attack and, like Teleportation, returned to Su Ning's side.

Red A had taken quite a beating, so he was a step slower, appearing behind Rin Tohsaka two seconds later.

"Archer--"

"No need to explain. I heard everything you two said just now. Gilgamesh is indeed very powerful, and he should be quite a counter to Berserker, shouldn't he?"

"Exactly~" Su Ning admitted openly.

"Speaking of which, since we've decided to join forces, and I've already revealed Berserker's identity and origin, shouldn't you two come clean as well?"

"Uh... well..." Rin Tohsaka looked at Red A, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.

"Of course, if you don't want others to know, we can go somewhere else—the Tohsaka residence or my castle, either works."

"Then... let's go to your castle!"

Despite Red A's silent, vehement opposition, Rin Tohsaka stubbornly made this decision. Because she wanted revenge, and Red A alone wasn't enough.

"Clang, clang--"

The battle between Mordred and Artoria continued.

Though it seemed like a long time had passed, in truth, only a few minutes had elapsed since the two began fighting. It was mainly because Cú Chulainn and Red A had been defeated far too quickly.
