As the supreme god, I choose to watch movies in the multiverse.

But tonight, what appeared beside the King of Heroes was not weapons, but a series of wine vessels inlaid with dazzling gems—heavy golden bottles filled with colorless, clear liquid.

The rich aroma of wine instantly filled the open space. Without a doubt, this was wine that could not have been produced in this era. Seeing this, Alicia's eyes were filled with curiosity.

So it turns out it can summon not only weapons, but also miscellaneous items like wine and gold—I'm curious to see what's inside the golden vortex.

"Look closely, and remember this: this is the 'King's Wine'." The Hero King was quite pleased with himself as he saw the crowd marveling at his treasure.

"Oh, that's wonderful."

The Conqueror King, unperturbed by the Hero King's tone, happily poured the new wine into four cups.

That cup was also a treasure in the King's Treasury. The Conqueror King's wooden cup was not only shabby, but there were only three of them, which is why the Hero King chose to take out the cup as well.

King Arthur, standing to the side, remained quite wary of the hero king whose background was unknown, but seeing Alicia, who was not even a king, drink the golden goblet in one gulp, she accepted the goblet offered to her.

"Oh, so delicious!!"

"Hmm—it tastes pretty good~~~"

Almost simultaneously, both Alicia and the Conqueror King praised it.

This piqued even King Arthur's curiosity. This wasn't originally a competition to see who was more dignified; it was a contest of drinking prowess.

As the wine flowed down his throat, King Arthur felt a strong, swollen sensation fill his mind. It was indeed a fine wine he had never tasted before, potent yet pure, fragrant and refreshing, its intense aroma filling his nostrils, giving him a sense of lightheadedness.

"This is amazing! This definitely isn't wine brewed by humans; it must be a divine wine that only gods can enjoy!!!"

Seeing the Conqueror King's lavish praise, the Hero King smiled serenely. He had sat down at some point, contentedly swirling the wine in his glass.

"Of course, whether it's wine or swords, my treasury contains only the finest treasures—in that case, the difference in the king's stature is already determined."

"The taste is delicious, but this wine is a bit too rich and strong~~~ Judging from your personality, this wine really does resemble your domineering and unreasonable character~~~"

Alicia poured herself another glass and continued to savor it without any hesitation, while King Arthur looked at her with some surprise. This wine was indeed too strong, and she couldn't get used to it, but Alicia herself didn't seem to have any aversion to it.

That's for sure. Although Alicia herself doesn't particularly enjoy drinking, given her relationship with Eden, she's far more capable of drinking than most people, if not a thousand cups without getting drunk.

Seeing Alicia's bold and unrestrained demeanor, the Conqueror King grinned and exclaimed, "Oh? You can tell a lot about a person's character from their drinking habits. Are you perhaps a lover of wine as well?"

Alicia quickly finished another glass and said, "I'm sorry, no, but I have a good friend who knows a lot about wine. I just sometimes drink with her."

"I see. It's a real shame that wine lovers can't experience it for themselves—this is a fine wine."

The King of Conquerors sighed with regret, while the King of Heroes remained silent, staring quietly at the King of Conquerors and Alicia beside him.

The banquet truly begins only after the fine wines have been enjoyed.

The Conqueror spoke first: "Archer, your wine is indeed worthy of the Holy Grail, but unfortunately, the Holy Grail and the wine glass are different. You must tell us what grand ambitions you have placed upon the Holy Grail."

The King of Heroes scoffed, “You have no right to command me, you bastard. Moreover, you are wrong from the premise of ‘fighting for the Holy Grail’—it originally belonged to me. The origin of all treasures in the world can be traced back to my treasury.”

"So you're saying you once possessed the Holy Grail? And you knew what it was?"

"I don't know. Don't judge me by the standards of a mixed-race practitioner."

The King of Heroes calmly denied the King of Conquerors' further questioning.

“This is beyond your comprehension. The total amount of my wealth even exceeds my own understanding, but as long as it is a ‘treasure,’ it definitely belongs to me, that’s clear. You’re quite audacious, you little thief, to try and steal it from my treasure trove.”

As he spoke, the King of Heroes' gaze turned cold again, and he looked at King Arthur and the King of Conquerors with displeasure.

Now it was King Arthur's turn to be speechless.

"Your words are no different from Caster's ravings. It seems he's not the only Servant who's mentally deranged."

"Oh dear~~~ how should I put it?"

Unlike King Arthur, Alicia didn't care whether the Holy Grail was the King of Heroes' treasure or not. Instead, as if responding to King Arthur, she said, "Although the King of Heroes has an excessive sense of self, his treasure trove does contain many interesting things. With his abilities, he can fulfill his wishes even without the Holy Grail."

Can wishes be fulfilled without the Holy Grail? Is the King of Heroes' treasury truly that magical? Even Alicia was amazed by it.

The audience in the light screen projection, as well as Irisviel and Waver in the projection, immediately listened intently, but the Conqueror King changed the subject at that moment.

"So, Archer, does that mean if you agree, we can get the Holy Grail?"

"Of course I can, but I have no reason to reward such scoundrels as you."

"Don't you want to part with it?"

"Of course not, I only reward my subjects and people."

The King of Heroes smiled mockingly at the King of Conquerors.

"Or Rider, if you are willing to surrender to me, then I will give you one or two cups."

"...Ah, this is impossible."

The Conqueror scratched his chin, seemingly feeling that the other party's demands were too high, so he simply turned his head away.

“But Archer, just as Miss Alicia said, it doesn’t matter to you whether you have the Holy Grail or not. Aren’t you fighting for the Holy Grail to fulfill some wish?”

"Of course, but I cannot let the thief who stole my treasure get away with it; it's a matter of principle."

"That is to say——"

The conqueror drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

What profound principles and rationales lie behind this?

“This law is the law that I, as king, have promulgated.”

Without the slightest hesitation, the King of Heroes replied that it was a matter of course.

"Ah."

The Conqueror King seemed to understand his words and sighed deeply.

"What a perfect king, able to uphold the laws he has set. But I still want the Holy Grail. If I want it, I will plunder it. That's my way of doing things. After all, I, Iskandar... am the King of Conquerors."

"Then there's nothing I can do. You've broken the law, and I'm going to punish you. There's no room for excuses."

"Then we can only meet on the battlefield."

As if they had made a pact, the two kings raised their glasses in a toast. They knew they would have a battle later, but for now, it was best to enjoy the banquet to the fullest.

"——But Archer, let's have a drink first, and let's leave the fight for later."

"Unless of course you don't like the wine I brought."

"Are you kidding me? There's no way I can bear to drink the wine now."

At this moment, it was impossible to tell whether the King of Heroes and the King of Conquerors were friends or foes, while King Arthur and Alicia sat silently to the side watching them. After a while, King Arthur finally spoke to the King of Conquerors.

"Speaking of which, King of Conquerors, what is your purpose in pursuing the Holy Grail?"

Hearing this, the Conqueror King was stunned, then hesitated, seemed a little shy, and finally picked up the golden wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

Whether it was shyness or the effect of the wine, he blushed, and his awkward attitude left countless people puzzled—why are you blushing like a teapot?

Finally, the Conqueror King gave a difficult answer: "I want to obtain a body!"

King Arthur: "?"

King of Heroes: "Huh?"

The audience watching the light screen image were bewildered: "???"

Then, Waver got excited and immediately rushed over to pull at the Conqueror King, yelling, "What are you saying? Your wish isn't to conquer the world... Ouch!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was flicked to the ground twice by the Conqueror King's finger-flicking skill. Although he was not injured, Waver looked aggrieved.

Then, the King of Conquerors issued his declaration: "Fool, what's the point of gaining the world with a cup? Conquering the world is my own dream, which I want to realize! Relying on the Holy Grail is just the first step towards achieving my dream!"

He said these words with a calm and even matter-of-fact expression, which made many viewers watching the video on the screen feel incredulous. They said they couldn't understand the Conqueror King's thought process at all. Wouldn't it be better to just use the Holy Grail to fulfill his wish and get the world?

Why go through all that trouble?

After the Conqueror King uttered those words with such magnanimity, Alicia's eyes lit up.

One of the shining qualities of humanity is that it acquires a physical body to achieve its dreams, rather than taking shortcuts directly to those dreams.

With his pioneering spirit and vision, it's no wonder he became a dominant force in his region.

Unfortunately, although her spirits were good, Alicia disagreed with her ideals. Conquering the world seemed romantic and magnificent, but it was built on the suffering of other lives on earth.

Upon learning of the Conqueror King's ambition, the Hero King spoke up, his tone displeased: "You bastard, is it for such a trivial matter that you would challenge me, the King?"

The King of Conquerors said, "Although we have descended here through magical power, we are ultimately servants." He lowered his head and gazed at his right hand with a serious expression. "So, I wish to be reborn in this era, to become a true being and take root!"

He clenched his fists and pounded them loudly, "Then, I will use my body to challenge this completely new world for me. This is what 'conquering' is all about!"

"Starting, advancing, and finally achieving like this is my domineering way!"

These are undoubtedly the words of a hegemon. Although they are not long and are not profound truths, they give people a feeling of boiling blood and wanting to follow this king forward.

The Hero King smiled at this moment and said, "I have decided, Rider. I will kill you with my own hands."

His words were calm, and there was no terrifying murderous intent emanating from him, but they gave people a chilling sense of dread, clearly indicating that Gilgamesh was truly determined to kill.

Upon hearing this, the King of Conquerors responded by saying that he would take away everything in the Hero King's treasury.

This robber's declaration finally made King Arthur unable to hold back, and he coldly commented: "In the end, he is nothing more than an ambitious man consumed by his own ambition."

Upon hearing this, the Conqueror King looked at King Arthur, unconcerned by her assessment, and instead asked, "Then, Saber, what is your goal in pursuing the Holy Grail?"

King Arthur glanced at the King of Conquerors, then at the King of Heroes, before looking down at the wine in his glass.

In the glistening wine, her beautiful, flawless face was faintly visible, her eyes revealing a sense of longing and remembrance, as if recalling the past.

Then she spoke, a smile suddenly appearing on her face. "In the beginning, I actually wanted to use the Holy Grail to change the fate of the disintegration of the Kingdom of Camelot and the destruction of ancient Britain."

The King of Heroes was stunned, the King of Conquerors was stunned, and everyone who heard this answer was stunned.

Then, King Arthur continued, "But after arriving in this era, I have already abandoned this ridiculous wish. Now, I have no desire to place my hopes on the Holy Grail!"

After King Arthur finished speaking, everyone remained silent for a long time.

"—I said, King of Knights, I must have heard wrong."

Rider finally broke the silence, his face filled with confusion for some reason.

"You mean you wanted to 'change your destiny'? That is, to overturn history?"

"That's right, because the country was destroyed, the people were plunged into even greater hardship."

King Arthur said in a low voice, his eyes seeming to have returned to Britain a thousand years ago.

"Then why give up on this ideal now?" the Conqueror King asked in a deep voice.
