[ The Sixth Holy Grail War, thus concludes ]
[ Fate World ends ]
[ Ding, no contestants answered correctly this time ]
[ This video has concluded ]
[ Timeline recalibrating— ]
[ Character recalibration— ]
[ Reward clearing— (Note: The greatest reward is the protagonist of the video; rewards are distributed in the most suitable manner for the recipient) ]
[ Reward settlement: Fate World, Gilgamesh: Chain of Heaven, sorrowful fate's shackles removed (Enkidu's gender can be chosen freely) ]
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
As the rewards fell, the entire myriad worlds fell silent.
It wasn't that the rewards were bad.
As the Chain of Heaven, a powerful weapon forged by the gods to combat Gilgamesh, countless shackles and bonds were already placed upon him.
This led to Enkidu's tragic death under various karmic circumstances. While it was good to be able to sever those shackles now, what was with the latter part about choosing the gender freely?!
As everyone knows, Enkidu had no gender. Now, being chosen for a gender? What kind of mysterious reward was this?
Wait, everyone suddenly remembered that rewards would be realized according to the recipient's wishes. Could this be Gilgamesh's...?!
Hiss, the more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes. I treated you as a brother, but you want to sleep with me?!

"This can be a reward too?!"
Hikigaya Hachiman was shocked as he looked at the reward on the screen. His dead fish eyes seemed to be fantasizing about something indescribable.
"Hachiman-kun, are you already imagining a future as a girl? Please don't appear before me. Those DNA-filled eyes make me feel physically ill, thank you,"
Yukinoshita Yukino said coldly.
"Of course not! It's To...!"
Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly covered his mouth, but Yukino's shocked gaze had already revealed everything.
Ahhh, I can never wash this off even if I jump into Mount Fuji now!

"HMPH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Such a reward is indeed beyond this King's expectations!"
The King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, let out a delighted laugh.
As the oldest King, no reward could move him. In a sense, it was even an insult to him.
This King needs a reward?
But now—
"Not bad, not bad!"
Gilgamesh laughed heartily and was just about to click to claim the reward.
But as if realizing something, he immediately changed into golden armor, casually swept his falling golden hair, and shot up into the sky!
Finally, he chose a strategically advantageous lamppost to stand on, crossed his arms, and looked into the distance with a detached gaze.
After doing all this, Gilgamesh clicked to claim the reward and, with unspoken understanding, set Enkidu's gender to—
But moments later, there was nothing. For the first time, a hint of confusion appeared in his crimson snake eyes.
Where is he?
Gilgamesh's crimson snake eyes shone brilliantly. The Golden Star of Omnipotence had indeed seen his best friend's existence.
But... not here?!
"INSOLENT MONGREL!!! HOW DARE YOU STEAL THIS KING'S BEST FRIEND! YOU DAMNABLE MONGREL!!!"
The King of Heroes roared in fury!

At the same time.
"Gil..."
Enkidu, whose physique had noticeably changed, looked hesitantly at Gilgamesh, who was sitting on the throne with a serious expression, as if diligently working.
"What is it? Are you afraid to face this King now that your body has changed?"
The Wise King, Gilgamesh, said indifferently.
"It wasn't this King who chose your gender; that mongrel took advantage of this King's distraction and made the decision himself."
Upon hearing this, Enkidu smiled.
The beautiful green person slowly walked forward, took the clay tablet from The Wise King, Gilgamesh's hand, and said,
"I don't mind. It's just that Gil works all day; he might suddenly die from overwork."
"Hmph,"
The Wise King, Gilgamesh, snorted, but his eyes held a joy he had never experienced before.
Siduri smiled knowingly and slowly withdrew, not disturbing the two.

"Yare, yare, I actually lost,"
Kid Gil lamented. He loved the female version of Enkidu the most!
But Kid Gil quickly showed a delighted smile.
"However, that guy was openly robbed; he must be furious by now."

[ Aogami Pierce (A Certain Magical Index): "What a shame, they should have given a reward that could arbitrarily control forms, like a powerful OL, a pure junior, a cool senior, a wife, or a petite loli." ]
[ Gintoki Sakata (Gintama): "Hiss, my upstairs friend, your thoughts are dangerous, yet I find them intriguing!" ]
[ Vinsmoke Sanji (One Piece): "Count me in!" ]
[ Mystique (MCU): "...Is this how this ability is supposed to be used?" ]
[ Kyousuke Kousaka (Oreimo): "Infinite experience cards versus fixed characters? I still prefer fixed characters..." ]
[ Sakura Haruno (Naruto): "Ahhhh, there are perverts in the group!" ]
[ Satanichia Kurumizawa Mcdowell (Gabriel DropOut): "What is a loli? Last time, an uncle called me that and told me to come to his house to see the goldfish." ]
[ Gabriel (Gabriel DropOut): "...As expected, this dirty world should just be destroyed." ]
[ Baki Hanma (Baki): "Alright, alright, everyone, stop arguing. Let's start the next video." ]

〜Baki World〜
Inside the room, traces of non-human activity clearly indicated that a shocking battle had taken place here.
"Oni-bao... no, Suzie, thank you,"
Baki said on the tatami mat, not knowing what was happening to him as he uttered strange words.
"It's okay, as long as Baki is happy."
Suzie said, her forehead covered in sweat, but her eyes showed no fatigue. She even said she was ready to fight again.
"Cough, cough, next time, next time. The video is about to start."
"...Oh."

At the same time, the screen slowly began to change, and a new round of videos was about to begin.
[ Next up— ]
[ Black Bullet World ]
[ Song of Blood and Tears—The Last Hope ]
[ .....]
〜Black Bullet World〜
"It actually chose us?!"
On the street, the eyes of the parading crowd suddenly lit up with hope!
That's great, with this, they can definitely use the power of the gods to completely eliminate those monsters!
For a moment, the entire population of the Black Bullet World was filled with righteous indignation, raising their flags higher.
Die, die, die!
They stood within the protective circle of the giant stones and let out righteous roars towards the monsters on the other side of the sea.
"Rentaro! Will everything be alright as long as we fight for the world?!"
Aihara Enju looked at her world being chosen, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"As long as we keep fighting, everyone will accept us, right?"
"Y-yes,"
Under the dim light, Satomi Rentaro met the girl's hopeful gaze and was rendered speechless.

〜Code Geass World〜
"Song of Blood and Tears, The Last Hope?"
Lelouch, dressed in luxurious robes and seated on the throne, coldly gazed at the text on the screen.
What is the last hope?
Has that world fallen into true despair?
Are the monsters or some unknown existence the cause?
Or is it like him...?
Lelouch closed his eyes, his slender fingers tapping on the table as he pondered.
