Chapter 119

Hearing Iskandar's words, Gilgamesh looked at him helplessly.

"You guy... don't gloat here. Seeing that you didn't even appear in the final battle, it's obvious you were wiped out." Gilgamesh was carrying the All-Knowing and All-Seeing Star this time, and he saw at a glance the Army of the King that Iskandar possessed.

He didn't even need to think; he must have been the one who solved it. However, he could never see through Lin Ye's background, which was why he was always curious about Lin Ye's strength.

Iskandar had long known his original ending from Waver's mouth, and he said indifferently, "The past result doesn't represent the present. I'm very confident now."

"Tch, what does confidence matter? In the face of true strength, it's just an ending of being wiped out." Gilgamesh mocked him unceremoniously, but Iskandar didn't care at all.

"Wait! Look!" Suddenly, Waver shouted. He seemed to finally understand why he and Iskandar died in the Fifth Holy Grail War in the simulation! So that was the reason!

[Gilgamesh's body was swallowed by the black mud, but his body was not consumed. Instead, the 'All the World's Evils,' having lost Angra Mainyu, began to repeat various words: "Greed! Arrogance! Desire! Laziness! Jealousy! Anger! Gluttony! All the sins in this world should be judged! Denied! Destroyed!"]

["Kill! Kill! Kill! Die! Die! Die! Only in this way can they repay the sins they have committed!"]

[Various chaotic and extremely violent voices rang out in the black mud. However, Gilgamesh opened his eyes and said only one word: "Correct."]

[In an instant, the entire interior of the black mud fell into silence. How could this be! How could other voices appear here!]

[But this discordant voice did appear. And so, these curses actually transformed into a single voice!]

["What do you mean by 'correct'? Who can acknowledge it? Who can allow it? And who will bear all the sins of the world?"]

[Responding to the black mud was only Gilgamesh's disdainful mockery, and a single sentence from him!]

["The King acknowledges! The King allows! The King bears the entire world!"]

["What is a King?" the black mud asked again.]

[And responding to them was still Gilgamesh's even more disdainful voice!]

["What a foolish question! Listen well! I! am the King!"]

"This... such a high degree of self-centeredness, that even 'All the World's Evils' cannot corrupt it at all?" Diarmuid was stunned. He had never seen such a highly self-centered existence, but he had to admit that such a Gilgamesh was very admirable.

Even Iskandar, who always liked to provoke Gilgamesh, couldn't help but sigh. "You guy, you really carry out your own King's Way like this? Hahaha!"

"Such a you makes one have even more desire to conquer!"

"Hmph, as a King, isn't it a matter of course to carry out one's own King's Way?"

Gilgamesh said this, not thinking there was any problem with his words; in fact, there really wasn't.

[Listening to Gilgamesh's words, the 'All the World's Evils' fell silent. They were actually a whole; whoever was swallowed by them would become part of that whole. But Gilgamesh's existence was completely different!]

[Gilgamesh's King's Way was absolute control; he absolutely would not allow himself to be assimilated by others. Thus, the two fell into a contradictory state. The black mud did not swallow Gilgamesh; instead, it was swallowed by him quite a bit. Then, unable to take it anymore, the black mud spat Gilgamesh out.]

[At this moment, Gilgamesh stood on the ground, naked. He had actually obtained a physical body by relying on the power of the black mud!]

[Feeling his body, Gilgamesh laughed—a mockery of everyone who chased after this Holy Grail.]

["To actually treat such a thing as an omnipotent wish-granting machine? This... is truly a ridiculous theatrical performance."]

The projection ended there, and seeing this, everyone fell silent.

If they hadn't seen the Gilgamesh segment Lin Ye played later, they might have doubted the authenticity of this projection, but now it seemed Lin Ye was right.

"How could this be!!"

In an instant, Tokiomi Tohsaka sat on the ground, dazed. He was the one most affected among everyone! The Holy Grail! His family's efforts for over two hundred years! It had turned into this!

"This isn't true... this isn't true..."

The light in Tokiomi Tohsaka's eyes faded. He, who had always maintained elegance, could no longer keep up that calm demeanor of having everything under control. He now felt like a clown!

But Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't see that, watching the scene of the black mud burning Fuyuki City, the corners of Kirei Kotomine's mouth rose uncontrollably.

He seemed to have awakened something that shouldn't have been awakened.

"This scene... is truly delightful."

On the other side, Irisviel's reaction wasn't good either. She didn't have any wishes she wanted to fulfill, but she was the Lesser Grail created for the Holy Grail to descend.

Now that she was told her life was spent striving for a pile of disgusting filth, how could one not collapse?

"Iris... it's okay."

The King of Knights looked at the depressed Irisviel and comforted her softly. Fortunately, because of Lin Ye, she didn't have such a great obsession with the Holy Grail, so she wasn't too heartbroken.

As for Kayneth and Waver, although shocked, they weren't too depressed.

Kayneth had come to the Holy Grail War to gild his resume; he hadn't expected to reach the Root with a Holy Grail anyway. Waver was even more direct; he just wanted to prove his point with the victory of the Holy Grail War, so he didn't feel much regret.

As for the Heroic Spirits, although the Hundred Faces felt it was a pity, it was just a pity. Diarmuid had no wishes; he just wanted to carry out his chivalry to the end, so he didn't feel much either.

Only...

"Even though it's corrupted, it can still grant a physical body?" Iskandar looked at Gilgamesh in front of him with interest.

Hearing Iskandar's words, Waver on the side panicked.

"Rider, you wouldn't... please don't do anything stupid!"
