Chapter 25: Gate of Babylon! The Elixir of Immortality! The Child of Spurn!
『 "I've made a fool of myself," the girl said, casually disposing of the middle-aged magician before bowing respectfully once more.
"You made use of the ley lines within the land, didn't you?"
Gilgamesh scrutinized the somewhat familiar girl before him.
"During the time I was away, was it you who ruled this land?"
"Allow your subject to explain. This is not a rule, but symbiosis. With your discerning eye, you must see that if my clan were to leave Snowfield City, we would revert to ordinary people."
"Mongrels are mongrels, after all. Whether they possess magic or not makes no difference,"
The King snorted, then stood up.
"Then, I shall ask again."
"Are you the arrogant magician who seeks the radiance of the King?"
The girl said nothing more, merely bowing deeply as a crimson Command Seal emerged from the back of her hand. 』

[ Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece): "Oooh, that looks fun! That's a mark of becoming a nakama, right? I wanna play too!" ]
[ Ishtar (Type-Moon): "I never thought that arrogant guy would participate in something like this? Isn't the Holy Grail already in his hands? I bet it's just for his own amusement again! He was the one who cultivated a bunch of pleasure-seekers in Uruk! Siduri, why didn't you say anything to him?!" ]
[ Siduri (Type-Moon): "Please calm your anger, Ishtar-sama. This, His Majesty…" ]
[ Artoria Pendragon (Type-Moon): "Wait! What does 'the Holy Grail is in his hands' mean?!" ]
[ Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎ (Type-Moon): "Hmph hahahahaha! All treasures under heaven belong to this King! Isn't that only natural? You are merely mongrels coveting this King's wealth!" ]
[ Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto): "This King seems even more boastful than Sasuke? Is he more durable than Sasuke?" ]
[ Ereshkigal (Type-Moon): "I don't know about durability, but his treasury indeed holds endless wealth." ]

"Tch, I don't believe it. He's already dead and became a Heroic Spirit, how could he still have money?"
Elaina pouted, her face full of disbelief.
She then tightly clutched the small cloth bag filled with gold coins to her chest, her eyes gleaming with avarice.
Hmm, this was hers; no one could touch it!

"Ugh—Time to eat, time to eat!"
Kumoko looked at her tiny body, once again engrossed in eating.
She didn't want to die inexplicably one day.

『 The girl did not crave the Holy Grail.
It was merely to drive out the magicians who treated Snowfield City as a venue for a false Holy Grail War, wantonly defiling the place.
Tine told the King her wish.
"How boring. No matter who lives on it, all land belongs to me. Originally, I intended to ignore it, but if it's a rat trying to plunder my wealth, that's another matter,"
The King said coldly.
They walked out of the cave together, looking down at the figures below. Those were Tine's subordinates, people who were willing to give everything for their purpose!
"Daring to use my name to falsely impress, it seems your resolve to participate in the war is not small."
Gilgamesh said faintly, looking at the black dots below.
"But in the end, it's nothing but a false throne. Besides me, those who can be drawn here are nothing but a rabble."
Gilgamesh extended his hand, and golden ripples shimmered. A bottle of light blue liquid appeared in his hand.
"Let's change my appearance first,"
Gilgamesh said softly, looking at the Elixir of Immortality in his hand. 』

[ Elaina (Wandering Witch): "Wait?! Elixir of Immortality?! Where did that come from?!" ]
[ Gawain (Type-Moon): "Legend says Gilgamesh once went to the underworld to seek the Elixir of Immortality, but it was ultimately eaten by a snake. Now it seems he succeeded back then. Could this be the King of Heroes' Noble Phantasm?" ]
[ Ishtar (Type-Moon): "You idiots! This is just an insignificant piece of treasure in that Kimpika's treasury! That guy has collected the prototypes of all Noble Phantasms in the world into his treasury!" ]
[ Gabriel (Gabriel DropOut): "…Are you kidding me?! This… this… this is practically inviting crime!" ]
[ Iskandar (Type-Moon): "One person collecting all the world's treasures, truly worthy of being the oldest King of Heroes, hahahahaha!" ]
[ Blackbeard (One Piece): "If that's true, then the One Piece ain't nothing! Zehahahaha!" ]
[ Blackbeard (Type-Moon): "Brother, we share the same name!? What even is One Piece?" ]
[ Doraemon: "Then wouldn't there be endless dorayaki?!" ]

"Hehe, the me in that world seems quite gentle~"
The golden-haired, red-eyed Kid Gil smiled.
Why take the Elixir of Immortality?
Because it was boring, and because compared to his youth, his child form self was kinder and friendlier, and more suitable for Tine's wish.
However… if only he could really drink it, Kid Gil sighed with some regret.
His older self was like a show-off, constantly killing this and killing that, shouting "mongrel" all the time.
He didn't want Enkidu to see the older self at all.

『 The scene shifts—
" In the dark forest "
Two figures are in a chase.
"How unlucky that the Command Seal would end up on you of all people,"
The grim-faced man put down his pistol, looking menacingly at the fallen white wolf.
"What do you think I made you for!"
He slammed the gun stock heavily onto the white wolf's body, roaring,
"What do you think I increased your magic circuits to the limit for?!"
"For what?! You're a catalyst! Why didn't you just accept the honor and serve as a catalyst to summon a god?!"
"Just a homunculus, yet it repays kindness with enmity and ran away on its own!"
The heavy rain mixed with blood slowly flowed into the mud.
The white wolf's eyes stared blankly at the sky. The survival instinct drove it, and a thought it didn't even understand itself rose in its heart.
Live…
"Just die like this and return the Command Seal to me," the man said coldly. 』

[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "How rude, to let everyone witness such an unsightly scene." ]
[ Sakata Gintoki (Gintama): "Hey! That guy is super annoying, it feels like he's bullying Sadaharu!" ]
[ Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan): "So he wants to use a modified homunculus to summon a Heroic Spirit?" ]
[ Red A ⦍EMIYA ⦎ (Type-Moon): "That's right, and it's not just animal modification, there's also human modification. The main purpose is to somehow enhance the Master's magic circuits, allowing them to provide more magical power to the Servant." ]
[ Romani Archaman (Type-Moon): "For the same Servant, if contracted with a third-rate Master versus a second-rate Master, the combat power is completely different." ]
[ Tokiomi Tohsaka (Type-Moon): "Foolish fellow, without a catalyst, just relying on a beast, how can you summon a powerful Heroic Spirit? Do you really think you can summon a Heroic Spirit comparable to King Gilgamesh with just a homunculus?" ]
[ Yomikawa Aiho (A Certain Magical Index): "So, is this white wolf going to die?" ]
[ Ushiwakamaru (Type-Moon): "Ma'am, that is the law of survival." ]

"Homunculus…"
Edward's mind seemed to flash with a figure, and he became extremely distressed!
The world would be better off without people like this.

〜Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
Tohsaka Residence
Although Tokiomi Tohsaka was surprised by the white wolf gaining sentience and the will to live, that was all.
Unable to find a catalyst and without even a suitable candidate to participate in the Holy Grail War, this was undoubtedly a third-rate magus with no magical foundation whatsoever.
As for what could be summoned?
Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't care at all, because when that oldest King appeared, the final outcome was already determined!
Tokiomi Tohsaka swirled his wine glass, his gentlemanly demeanor fully displayed, but the next moment, he couldn't smile anymore as a sudden change occurred on the screen!
