Davidian's Holy Grail War

However, David only grumbled about it in his mind; of course, he wouldn't say such mood-ruining things out loud.

"Are these the strangers the king spoke of?" Siduri finally asked, in her eyes the battle just now had been quite impressive.

The people before us are all quite powerful and stoic; the king's words were indeed a bit excessive.

"Since it was brought by Merlin, and Davidian didn't deny it, then it must be true."

But... it's too early, far too early. You look at the kid's rather dazed expression.

"Look at those stupid faces, they probably can't hear the earth's voice yet. This is outrageous, isn't it a bit too much of an overreaction? You two!"

Gilgamesh glanced at Merlin and Davian, but Merlin immediately turned his head away and whistled to ease the tension; he knew nothing about it.

Davidian retorted, "I can't just watch them get killed by that fake Enkidu, that would be dereliction of duty."

Ritsuka, have a proper conversation with the current Gilgamesh and tell him your purpose.

Let this arrogant guy hear what kind of person you really are. If he dares to look down on you, I'll go and chop him to pieces for you this time.

“Alright!” Ritsuka immediately stepped forward and began to explain her identity and purpose, but Gilgamesh simply waved his hand, indicating that he didn't recognize her and wasn't worth remembering. Let it go, kid.

After Gilgamesh finished expressing his thoughts, he gave Davian a special look, and Davian finally understood what he meant.

Alright, this old bastard is planning to teach Ritsuka a lesson. Let him be; I shouldn't say anything more.

Chapter 233 Goddess of the Sky (Second Meeting)

[Is it really that difficult to communicate with? Merlin, what's going on?! That king has absolutely no interest in Chaldea!]

Dr. Roman was speechless. What was going on? Had Merlin messed things up again? That shouldn't be the case. If David was here, the communication should be going smoothly.

"Oh dear, I always thought that my understanding was the same as his."

Although it doesn't explain what Chaldea is, nor does it mention anything about the Burning of Humanity, the Magic King, the Holy Grail, or singularities.

But you see, with just a little observation, it's all quite easy to understand, isn't it? After all, he's the king.

Merlin also started to pretend mischievously. David really wanted to laugh, but he held it in.

When it comes to cunning, no one present can compare to these two Grand Ward candidates. Even Davidian was starting to wonder if this was a bad idea.

"This...this is the same as saying nothing at all!" The innocent Mashu was starting to get a little overwhelmed, and even Ritsuka next to her was getting anxious.

“King Gilgamesh, please listen to me, I…” Ritsuka was about to speak when Gilgamesh waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t need to say anything more.

He propped his head up with one hand and replied in a bored tone, "There's no need for that explanation. Since I can accomplish everything, I naturally know everything."

Even you Chaldea, I already knew all along. Heroic Spirit summoning, the Magician King, singularities, the Incineration of Humanity—I understand it all.

"In that case, you should understand what we are trying to do. If we fail to reclaim the Holy Grail of this era, then everything will be over."

Ritsuka grew even more anxious, while David was practically bursting with rage. Luckily, Gilgamesh gave him the chance to act at that moment, otherwise he would have really chuckled.

“Davian, show them what’s inside you. Let these country bumpkins see my collection and broaden their horizons.”

After Gilgamesh finished speaking, David immediately reached into his own body.

When he reached back, the Holy Grail was already in his hand, which shocked Ritsuka and Mash so much that their jaws dropped.

It turns out that David, who had been walking alongside them for so long, had been hiding the Holy Grail inside his body all along, but they just didn't know it.

So the Holy Grail had already fallen into the hands of Uruk's side!

Dr. Roman also detected this reaction; there's no mistake, this is definitely the real Holy Grail!

"Of course, all the world's treasures are in my collection. Even the wish-granting machine is nothing more than this."

The Three Goddesses' alliance is probably after this thing, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to attack Uruk. Hmph, gods are just like that.

Gilgamesh snorted disdainfully, mocking the three goddesses' petty schemes.

But then Gilgamesh said seriously, "However, don't say anything stupid like asking me to hand over the Holy Grail to you."

Even David over there only borrowed the Holy Grail to guard the North Wall. I haven't taken it back because of his achievements during this time...

"Oh, by the way, Davidian, has your intelligence been updated?"

"It's all updated, Gilgamesh. I'm incredibly grateful for your help back then, and I'll definitely repay that favor this time."

Davidan bowed to Gilgamesh to express his gratitude. Although it was help from another world, since the help was given to Davidan himself, Davidan would definitely repay this favor now.

And it was only after this updated intelligence that David finally understood why he had been summoned here.

Merlin was still kind to him when it came to doing this kind of work, both letting him relax here and taking the opportunity to repay this favor.

The right thing to do is to be even and not owe each other anything; it's not a good thing to carry this burden forward.

"Is that so? It's a pity that your spirit origin is already fixed and cannot be updated this time, otherwise you would be more suitable for this stage if you were fighting with the Nameless Sword."

After saying this, Gilgamesh turned his gaze from David to Fujimaru Ritsuka, wanting to see what the kid would say.

"Then...then..." At this moment, Ritsuka's courage was fully aroused, and he shouted to everyone present.

"Then we'll exchange defeating the Three Goddess Alliance for the Holy Grail in your possession, King Gilgamesh! We will definitely do it!"

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and everyone fell silent.

Just as Ritsuka was wondering if she had said something strange, Gilgamesh suddenly burst out laughing.

Merlin then laughed as well, while Davidian, though not laughing, looked at Ritsuka with a doting gaze.

This kid is really cute and courageous; the last Master of humanity should be like him.

"Defeat? Defeat that Three Goddess Alliance?" Gilgamesh said with a laugh, and even started rubbing his stomach. No, this was just too delightful.

At this opportune moment, Siduri poured Gilgamesh a glass of water, and Gilgamesh took a sip to calm himself down.

He took a deep breath and said to Siduri, "Go and record this scene. Write it down: 'Wang laughed so hard his abs cramped.'"

“Yes, I understand,” Siduri said, and then retreated.

Gilgamesh composed himself and prepared what he was about to say, then looked back at Ritsuka below the steps.

"Fujimaru Ritsuka! I say this only after I have understood everything—Uruk doesn't need you as you are now. Do you understand?"

You are aliens who have appeared here, no, you are superfluous elements, or even useless.

Uruk is a city that I, the King, should protect. I have no need to rely on the power of your Chaldea! Even if the heavens and earth crumble, this will be the only time I will receive you.

Just then, a soldier came to report that Ishtar, one of the three goddesses in the alliance, was rapidly approaching the tower.

Gilgamesh sighed with a helpless expression: "Really... it's that idiot again. Is she a fool who never learns from her mistakes?"

Or is she a complete idiot who can't even remember what happened a day ago? No, she's always been a fool who can't even remember what happened half a day ago!

Siduri coughed twice and began to advise, "Your Majesty, please restrain yourself from insulting the goddess Ishtar."

Lady Ishtar is the city goddess of Uruk; even a king cannot so lightly insult her.

"If you publicly criticize Lady Ishtar here, the Shrine of Priests will lose face..."

But saying this only made Gilgamesh angrier, so he cursed even more harshly: "She has no face at all from the very beginning!"

Has that woman ever protected Uruk even once in all of history?

They destroyed things that didn't need to be destroyed (Enkidu), and created things that didn't need to be created (the longhorn beetle)!

I reckon at worst he'll just accidentally destroy his dorm room and then run to God the Father to complain!

Thinking of this, his malicious smile became even more pronounced: "Hmph! But that god Annu has long since disappeared. Even his own father despises him; he only has himself to blame."

In the end, she could only die a miserable and lonely death. That must be that woman's final fate, hahaha!

The next moment, the ceiling was punched through.

Chapter 234 Do what you're supposed to do

"What are you talking about?!" A girl who was excellent in every way except for her breasts flew down from a large hole in the ceiling, and David swung his sword, shattering all the rocks that landed on her.

This is the second time we've met, goddess Ishtar.

“Senpai, it was back then…” Mash whispered in Ritsuka’s ear, and Ritsuka nodded; it was indeed back then.

"Hi!" So Ritsuka extended her hand and greeted him warmly, and David couldn't help but look at him.

This is the second time. The last time was at the Sixth Singularity, when Ritsuka greeted him calmly in the same way.

This guy is so outgoing! Is this some kind of talent he has? Anyone would be calmed down by such a calm and friendly greeting.

Upon seeing Ritsuka and after he greeted her so calmly, Ishtar actually calmed down as well.

However, she still said, "You should hide somewhere and be careful. I don't have time to chat with you right now. My target is that golden glitter."

Gilgamesh suddenly paused, and said curiously, "I never thought you would have a day when you worry about other people. That's really strange."

In a single sentence, just that one simple sentence completely broke Ishtar's composure. She stood there stunned, and only after she had recovered did she nervously say:

"Concerns... I'm not concerned about anyone! You agree, right? I'm not concerned about you!"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Ritsuka, but everyone remembered what she had just said and could see Ishtar's current state. She was clearly thinking of others.

Ishtar suddenly realized that something was wrong with her, so she quickly turned around and started yelling at Gilgamesh again: "Put all that aside for now, you've really gone too far this time! You ungrateful Gilgamesh!"

"Excessive? Which sentence are you referring to?" Gilgamesh, as he spoke, actually began to recall which sentence in his earlier evaluation was excessive.
