Chapter 80: The Grand Class King Hassan!
『 Gilgamesh delightfully watched everyone's shocked expressions, then directly put the Holy Grail away.
All treasures in the world inherently belonged to him, and the Holy Grail was no exception.
Fujimaru Ritsuka also understood that the Holy Grail in King Gilgamesh's hands could not be given directly to them.
"Then, how about we defeat the Three Goddess Alliance as an exchange condition?" Fujimaru Ritsuka made up their mind.
"Hmph hahahaha… Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha! Defeat?" Gilgamesh burst out laughing, clutching his stomach.
"You're going to defeat that group of Goddesses? Siduri, those idiots are going to make this King laugh to death, hmph hahahahahahaha."
His demonic laughter echoed through the empty temple.
"Oh dear, that joke was quite good. Record it in the Royal Palace log later. Write, 'The King laughed so hard his abs cramped'." 』

Tohsaka Household—
"The Holy Grail… is right there."
Tohsaka Tokiomi's breathing suddenly quickened. He painstakingly looked towards Gilgamesh beside him.
But he met those scarlet, tyrannical, snake-like eyes, devoid of any emotion.
"Tokiomi, even if you're spoiled, don't say such foolish things as asking this King to bestow the Holy Grail upon you."
The scarlet snake-like eyes carried chilling killing intent.
There was only the King bestowing, never the principle of demanding from the King.
Tohsaka Tokiomi suddenly sobered up. Right, this King was completely different from the one on the screen. How could he bestow the Holy Grail upon him?!
And… "spoiled"?! Are you serious?!

"Ugh—"
Laura pouted, her eyes fixed on the Holy Grail on the screen with some disappointment.
"I thought it was the legendary one stained with the blood of Jesus."
"But I guess there's no Jesus in that era either."

Everyone also took a good look at this so-called Holy Grail wishing machine.
So the so-called Holy Grail was really just a golden cup?
No, more accurately, it should be a crystallization of magical energy, or perhaps a key?
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜
"Doctor, what's going on?"
Ritsuka and Mash looked at the Doctor in confusion.
Could it be that the Holy Grail thrown by the Demon God King was really in King Gilgamesh's hands?
In that sense, wouldn't they be hostile to King Gilgamesh?
After some thought, Dr. Roman said gravely,
"No, this should be the Uruk Great Holy Grail. The Holy Grail thrown by the Demon God King is not the same."
—
『 Just as the atmosphere grew a little awkward, a figure burst through the temple, appearing in everyone's line of sight.
Ishtar descended from high above, piloting Maanna!
Fujimaru Ritsuka recognized her; it was the strange woman who had previously "Dragon-Rode" her face.
"Um, we meet again," Fujimaru Ritsuka greeted.
"Get out of my way, the only one I'm looking for is that Kimpika(Golden Sparkle)," Ishtar waved her hand dismissively.
"This is truly rare, for the dignified Goddess Ishtar to actually worry about others," Gilgamesh said with a fake smile, looking at the newcomer.
Ishtar immediately panicked, "Eh?! What?! I… I wasn't being considerate at all!"
Ishtar's face flushed, and she became flustered. She loudly declared, "I was only considering Uruk… no, it doesn't belong to me anymore."
"I wasn't being considerate of Uruk at all!"
As her words fell, everyone stared blankly at Ishtar before them.
Is this… really a Goddess?
Ishtar, giving up completely, immediately launched an attack, but was stopped by Mash and Ana working together.
Finally, after carefully observing Ana, she seemed to understand something and turned to leave.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to provoke them.
"Siduri, if Gilgamesh dies, I might still consider helping Uruk."
"You should prepare the white flag~" 』

"Huh! Come to think of it... why does she look exactly like me?!"
Tohsaka Rin clutched her head, somewhat confused.
Who would understand? At first, she thought she had seen wrong, but now Tohsaka Rin was certain that, apart from the eye color, they were completely identical!
"Is she really a Goddess?"
Looking at Ishtar's comical appearance, Tohsaka Rin felt incredibly weary.
Who do you think is to blame? Red A's mouth twitched beside her.
If she hadn't possessed you, Ishtar would probably be going berserk by now.

『 "Well, there's no helping it. Let's find a place to stay first," Merlin whispered, feigning distress, looking at Wise King Gilgamesh, who continued working without a word.
"That King is an unpredictable person. Perhaps by tomorrow, he'll be willing to listen to us."
"Fool!" The King said expressionlessly, "This King has no time to go on a picnic with you, Chaldea. If you are determined to be of use to this King—"
Indeed, the King sent a few of them off to do chores. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Is this the oldest tsundere?!
Everyone in all realms fell silent.
As the saying goes, those involved are confused, while bystanders see clearly. Although Gilgamesh's words conveyed disdain, he had no intention of driving them away.
Are they all tsunderes?
.....
『 Soon, under Siduri's arrangements, the group settled down.
They also met Servants like Ushiwakamaru and Leonidas. These were Servants specifically summoned by the Wise King Gilgamesh to deal with the Demonic Beasts.
For Gilgamesh, who possessed the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence, Heroic Spirit summoning rituals were a trivial matter.
And so, the group did chores while familiarizing themselves with Uruk's customs.
One evening, Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka were strolling through the twilight streets when suddenly, Fou, on Fujimaru Ritsuka's shoulder, cried out towards the side.
"Fou?" Following Fou's direction, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked.
In a corner, a beggar sat squatting. His face was obscured by a black robe. Fujimaru Ritsuka, soft-hearted, handed the food in her hand to the old man before her. 』

[ Kihara Amata (A Certain Magical Index): "Hehe, sure enough, this Fujimaru Ritsuka is a bleeding heart. Can such a person really become a savior? Excessive kindness will only harm you." ]
[ Genos (One Punch Man): "At this distance, an assassination attempt would be impossible for this girl to dodge. From my observation, this girl is just an ordinary person." ]
[ Tezcatlipoca⦍Assassin⦎: "Oh? Perhaps it's precisely this kindness that allowed her to make it all the way to the Seventh Singularity." ]
[ Kirishima Ayato (Tokyo Ghoul): "Why do something so meaningless?" ]

In the 6th singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot—
"Wait! Is that guy?!"
Ozymandias looked at the hunched figure, suddenly feeling a chill down his neck.
Although he didn't recognize the person, his neck had already felt waves of coolness!
—
『 "Unnecessary pity is an evil."
The beggar glanced at the biscuit in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand. He didn't immediately accept it, but instead said in a deep voice.
"Unnecessary shame is also an evil, but this old man still thanks you for your kindness."
"Then, let me give you a return gift."
"Listen carefully, Uruk will face three storms in the future. To those who harbor hatred, do not show understanding."
"To those who harbor pleasure, do not show approval."
"Furthermore, to those who harbor pain, do not show praise. Never forget, to preach humanity to the gods is foolish."
As his words fell, a gust of wind blew, and the old man before them vanished! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded. No matter how foolish they were, they could tell that this old man was no ordinary person.
But… this was too outrageous, wasn't it?
Why did Fujimaru Ritsuka encounter a master just by giving a biscuit? Is this the savior's blessing?
And didn't that old man's voice sound a bit familiar? It felt like they had heard it somewhere before.

"Kirei, did you time-travel?"
Tohsaka Tokiomi stared blankly at Kotomine Kirei beside him.
Undoubtedly, that was Kirei's voice. Not just similar, it was exactly the same!

/Beasts have a special sensitivity to Grand Servants.
/What should you do if you pick up a wild Grand?
/Ah, this delightful voice.
/I'm truly afraid he'll slowly present a bowl of Mapo Tofu next second.
/Three disasters only need three Arash.
/Grand Assassin! King Hassan!
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜
"This old man is a Grand Servant???"
Ritsuka's eyes widened, equally disbelieving.
She was just being kind, and as a result, she met a Grand Assassin?!
At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka inexplicably felt that the previous Charm reward seemed very useful.
—
『 Days passed. During this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others traveled to the Ur district, where they learned a terrifying truth.
That seemingly idyllic place, untouched by Demonic Beasts, was actually due to the local people sacrificing all their men to the gods!
Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to stop all of this, but was repelled by the suddenly appearing Divine Servant Jaguar Man and had no choice but to retreat.
Gilgamesh did not blame the group. Instead, a few days later, he gave Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash a new mission.
The two drove a carriage, with the comfortably reclining Wise King Gilgamesh behind them.
"Oh~ the Zagros Mountains are covered with beautiful white clouds," the Wise King sighed, "Here, one should exclaim, 'White peaks, a sea of clouds, cedar mountains'."
Hmm, for some reason, King Gilgamesh also joined them.
"Um, shouldn't you tell us the reason for traveling with us by now?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked curiously.
"This King merely occasionally wishes to see the sea, that is all."
"See the sea? So you're on vacation today?" Mash understood.
"Fool, it is precisely because this King has no time to play that I secretly snuck out like this."
"Uh…"
And at this moment, inside the temple, a helpless Siduri looked at the mountain of stacked clay tablets, her eyes filled with resignation.
"In any case, this King is not tired of work, nor am I out looking for excitement. Now, as usual, tell some jokes to entertain this King."
The King's lips curved into a smile. 』

Tohsaka Tokiomi's fists clenched with a crunching sound, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the screen.
This was the King Gilgamesh he wanted to summon!!

"Eh—,"
Kid Gil rubbed his forehead, sighing helplessly, his eyes full of disdain.
Even though he was already so old, he still acted as childishly as a child. And if he continued working like this, would he… in front of all realms…?
Kid Gil could no longer imagine.

『 Soon, the group reached their destination, the Persian Gulf.
Under the twilight, the sea shimmered, with an orange-red setting sun and a salty sea breeze.
The beautiful scenery brought Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka an unprecedented sense of relaxation.
"Fou!" Just then, Fou suddenly shrieked, circling Mash.
"Doctor, quickly investigate the nine o'clock direction! Something is flying straight towards us!" Mash cried out, her eyes trembling.
"I've detected it too!" Dr. Roman exclaimed in disbelief, "In the magical energy density of the Age of Gods, its speed can still reach 500 kilometers per hour?!"
"Mash, prepare for defense!"
No need for further words, for at this moment, visible to the naked eye, a stream of light piercing through the sea was already assaulting them!
With a bang, from the dust, Kingu slowly emerged. 』

[ Natsu Dragneel (Fairy Tail): "How strong is Kingu? Does anyone know?" ]
[ Lady Avalon: "He's on par with Enkidu. He uses Enkidu's body, and he can use all of Enkidu's abilities." ]
[ Tohsaka Rin: "So he has the strength of a top-tier Servant?!" ]
[ Tobirama Senju (Naruto): "No, he might be even stronger than the power he displayed in the Sixth Holy Grail War, because this is the Age of Gods, and Enkidu doesn't need to be demoted." ]

"You must be careful,"
Ash broke into a sweat for the two of them. It seemed Kingu wouldn't give up until he killed them.
—
『 "Who exactly are you?!" Fujimaru Ritsuka demanded.
"Merely changed masters. Humans are truly incorrigible, but these are minor matters," Kingu sighed.
Terrifying arcs of electricity flickered from the void, and golden ripples emerged behind Kingu.
"Until I am destroyed, I will be an enemy of humanity. No matter what happens, this will not change!"
"I will prove this with your lives right now!" Killing intent flared on Kingu's face!
Silver chains shot out in unison, their tips gleaming with cold blades!
The endless attacks made it impossible for Mash to resist. In just a moment, Mash's arm was injured, and her shield was directly knocked away!
"Mash!" Fujimaru Ritsuka shielded Mash.
"It ends here," the silver chains pierced through space, rushing towards the two!
But at the very last moment, a golden great axe struck down the silver chains, and Gilgamesh's figure blocked the path of the two! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Indeed, in the end, it was these two who faced off!
It was both destiny and karma.
Whether enemies or friends, they were always fighting, but now that a former dear friend had become an enemy, could Gilgamesh truly bring himself to strike?
Moreover, could Gilgamesh, who looked like a Caster, truly defeat a full-power Enkidu?
.....
『 "King Gilgamesh!" Mash cried out.
"You… you are," the moment he saw Gilgamesh, Kingu, as a weapon, felt an indescribably complex emotion spreading within him.
He looked at the person before him in pain, "You are Gilgamesh."
"Or who else do you think, you fool?" Gilgamesh said in silence, "As a calm and composed weapon, where has your efficient style gone?"
"This isn't like you."
Infuriated, Kingu immediately shot out a bolt of lightning, but Gilgamesh easily blocked it.
"SHUT UP!!!"
Kingu's eyes flashed with terrifying killing intent, as he furiously charged towards Gilgamesh!
At this moment, Wedge of Heaven vs. Chains of Heaven! 』

In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
"Oh my, as expected of King Gilgamesh~ Always saving the day at the critical moment,"
Merlin clapped his hands in admiration.
However, this also reminded Merlin of something. Speaking of which, this screen has become so heated. Could it be that someone has already woken up?
But his illusion hasn't been broken yet? Should he go check?
Thinking of this, Merlin's figure directly disappeared, and he reappeared in an illusory space.
The next moment, Merlin's eyes met those star-sea-like eyes.
Large beads of sweat slid down his cheeks. Merlin's heart skipped a beat. He scratched his head, feigning confusion, "Hahaha, I took a wrong turn, where is this…"
A vast power fell upon Merlin. Not just his clone, but even the main body of Avalon was imprisoned at this moment.
"Wuwuwu, Tiamat, I was wrong!"
