Chapter 552 Am I just a part of your PLAY...?

Let's review Cheng Tian's kill of the Hero King.

First and foremost was Gilgamesh's own absolute arrogance.

The arrogant, casual version of Gilgamesh wasn't wearing his golden armor at all. Coupled with his black mud-covered body, his physical strength stats were among the lowest in all the Fate derivative works he had ever appeared in. In terms of Heroic Spirit data, his physical durability was only C-rank.

Cheng Tian's Midnight Blessing not only forcibly transformed her into a female version of Shan Shan, but also temporarily swapped her 55 points of Strength attribute, which was originally at its peak, with only 40 points of Agility attribute. This caused her original 1.1 HP to plummet to 8000 points on the spot.

It is worth mentioning here that, under normal circumstances, Cheng Tian's midnight blessing will hardly have any effect on Gilgamesh, even if Gilgamesh has the lowest historical ability value.

Midnight Blessing does not require any additional judgment and will inevitably force all units to become female. However, Gilgamesh has a charm attribute of 80 points, which is far higher than that of Cheng. Theoretically, the duration of the female transformation is negative thirty seconds.

Of course, this number wouldn't cause Cheng Tian to suffer a backlash and turn into a young woman for thirty seconds, but Shan Shan's feminized state would only last for a maximum of one frame.

However, Cheng Tian used Midnight Blessing during Time Stop, which forcibly extended the moe-like state, which should have lasted only one frame, by nearly 20 seconds.

His power level dropped from its peak to that of an ordinary person, while the world's fist, thanks to Cheng Tian's physical data, reached the level of a peak breakthrough.

At the same time, although Gilgamesh himself was very unwilling to admit it, and even extremely disgusted by it, he could not deny that he possessed the highest level of divine adaptability among all Heroic Spirits.

This resulted in him being given the additional label of "goddess" when he was gender-modified.

Cheng Tian's title "Goddess Conqueror" immediately became highlighted.

The effect of this title is that attacks on the goddess's legs are more likely to trigger fractures and limb amputations, and these effects will also bring a certain damage bonus.

Finally, and most importantly, is the form in which the world exists.

As a product of the high integration and embodiment of soul and spiritual power, the world's fist, which seems to only have the form of physical strikes, actually also has the ability to strike the mystical side, only it is manifested in the form of a fist.

Theoretically, as long as the Servant's core remains intact, it can self-repair by replenishing its mana. However, the world's fists deliver imperceptible shocks to the Servant's core with every punch.

And this continuous shockwave, lasting for 20 seconds, erupted all at once the moment the time stop ended!
It was like a resonant strike specifically targeting the soul core. The moment time began to flow again, Gilgamesh's soul core had already shattered into dust.

Right now, he's just a dilapidated shell, so small that even the amount of black mud remaining inside him isn't enough to sustain his existence.

From the outside, it seemed like Gilgamesh and Enkidu had just finished their Noble Phantasm clash, and even the celestial phenomena were still visible. But for Cheng Tian, ​​it was truly all over.

Having already sensed that his false life was heading towards its end, Jin Shanshan also realized, almost the instant he felt the sudden burst of pain and death in his body, how Cheng Tian had killed him.

Time stops, a true ability to kill gods.

If one retains the omniscient and omnipotent star, one can prepare countermeasures against time stopping in advance.

However, there is no if.

Thoughts swirled and turned, finally settling into an appreciative gaze and a heartfelt sigh—

"He died a just death."

Almost simultaneously, on the ground, Enkidu's shadow spirit, which had also been affected by the time stop, received a series of surrounding information. Its body visibly returned to black and white and began to transform into a complete phantom. Because Enkidu was recreated based on Gilgamesh's memories, his existence naturally could not be maintained when Gilgamesh died.

Even though his best friend died in front of him and he himself was disappearing, Enki simply chuckled and looked up at the sky again.

At the same time, Gilgamesh, whose life was also only a final burst of energy, looked towards the ground.

"A narrow victory."

The ethereal Enkidu smiled radiantly.

"Hmph~ It won't be so easy next time."

Jill, amidst the chaos, wore an arrogant expression.

...Why do I suddenly feel like I've become a part of their play?

For no apparent reason, this idea popped into Cheng's mind.

However, the matter is not completely over yet; there is still one crucial element.

High in the sky, invisible to ordinary people, a dark object suddenly appeared. This object exerted an almost irresistible superhuman attraction on the fragments of Gilgamesh's soul that had been shattered by his spirit core!
Without a doubt, this is what all the participants in the Fifth War were yearning for—

The Holy Grail! Or rather, the Black Holy Grail, which has been completely corrupted by the evil of this world!

In the normal Holy Grail War process, the souls of Servants who die are collected by the Greater Grail and used as the energy source to activate the Third Magic, ultimately making the Holy Grail a true wish-granting season.

Even the corrupted Black Grail retains this ability to reclaim souls.

Since Gilgamesh, who successfully embodied the black mud through the curse of the Black Grail, is now remaining on this land, he will inevitably be reclaimed by the Black Grail as well.

Of course, whether or not to accept it is one issue; whether or not it can be used is another.

Cheng Tian clearly remembered that this golden glitter was an extremely rare existence that could completely resist the erosion and assimilation of the black mud. Most heroic spirits would likely become puppets of the Black Grail, but the golden glitter would not.

Hmm, it gives off a vibe of Vegeta rebelling against Babidi's magical control with his proud pride.

However, Cheng Tian also remembered that there was indeed a record of Gilgamesh, who descended as a Servant, having his soul melted by the Black Grail, which should be the Black Sakura route.

But this black cup clearly means that if I don't use it, I can't let Cheng Tian use it either!
The fragments of the King of Heroes' soul were simultaneously feeling the opposing suction forces from the Black Grail and the Demon Gauntlet.

For no apparent reason, Gilgamesh, who was experiencing the tearing of his soul, suddenly thought of a story called "Two Mothers Fighting for a Child".

"Damn it! Those local bullies!"

In the end, Cheng was no match for the home-field advantage and watched the departure of the Hero King's soul fragment with a sorrowful expression... before his expression changed in a flash.

Because the magnificent golden treasure chest that Jin Shanshan had dropped was now right in front of him.
