Chapter 219

~5 min read 912 words

Hearing Iskandar's words, Goldie 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 gone." Goldie was carrying the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence this time; he saw at a glance the Army of the King that Iskandar possessed.

He didn't even need to think; it must have been solved by him. However, he was always unable to 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. He said indifferently, "The past result doesn't represent the present. I am very confident now."

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

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

【Gilgamesh's body was swallowed in the black mud, but his body was not consumed by the black mud. Instead, 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! Deny! Destroy!"】

【"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 is it possible! How could other voices appear here!

But this discordant voice did appear. Thus, these curses actually turned 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 in the world?"

The only response to this black mud was Gilgamesh's disdainful laughter. And a sentence from Gilgamesh!

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

"What is a King?" The black mud asked again.

And the response to them was still Goldie's even more disdainful voice!

"What a foolish question! Listen well! I! Am the King!"】

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

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

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

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

Goldie said so. He didn't think there was any problem with his words, and in fact, there was indeed no problem.

【Listening to Gilgamesh's words, All the World's Evils fell silent. They were actually a whole; whoever was swallowed by them would also become a whole. However, Gilgamesh's existence was completely different!

Gilgamesh's King's Way was absolute control; he absolutely did 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 Gilgamesh quite a bit, and then, the black mud couldn't take it anymore and spat Gilgamesh out.

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

Feeling his body, Gilgamesh laughed. That was a mockery of all those who chased after this Holy Grail.

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

When the scene reached this point, Lin Ye stopped projecting. Seeing this, everyone fell silent.

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

"How is this possible!!"

In an instant, Tokiomi Tohsaka sat on the ground, dazed. He was the one who suffered the biggest blow among everyone! The Holy Grail! His family's two hundred years of effort! It had turned into this!

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

Tokiomi Tohsaka's eyes lost their luster. He, who had always upheld elegance, could no longer maintain the calmness 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, Kirei Kotomine's mouth couldn't help but turn upward.

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 very good either. She didn't have any wishes she wanted to fulfill, but she was the Lesser Grail created; the meaning of her existence was for the Holy Grail to descend.

Now you tell her that her life was spent striving for a pool of disgusting things—how could this not make one collapse?

"Iris... it's okay."

My King 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 sad.

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