Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 246 The Holy Grail Activated Ahead of Schedule

On the riverbank battlefield of Fuyuki City, Gilgamesh's demigod body hovered in mid-air, his once arrogant face twisted into a rare and ferocious expression.

"You bastard! Don't touch my body with your filthy tentacles!!"

He unleashed an unprecedented roar of fury.

However, at this moment, the voice was not only the usual arrogant and condescending tone, but also contained a sense of shock and anger at being desecrated, as well as a trace of panic that even he himself was unwilling to admit.

Metastasia, this alien monster from Hueco Mundo, is now revealing its most terrifying side.

At this moment, he had no physical form; he was merely clinging to a bone, desperately gripping Gilgamesh's face.

Or rather, he is now essentially just a self-aware, highly aggressive tuft of tentacles.

Like a rat desperate to survive, he frantically burrowed into the depths of the hero king's spirit.

Hehehe... Such powerful magic... Such a pure soul...

..

Is this true divinity? It's so delicious! So much better than that idiot Haiyan!

That nauseating sound exploded deep within Gilgamesh's brain.

Metastacia is trying to take control of this body, just as it once did to Kaien Shiba.

If it were an ordinary Heroic Spirit, even a Knight King with A-rank magic resistance, it would probably lose the ability to resist such parasitism and soul erosion that directly targets the spirit core.

But Gilgamesh was different.

He is a demigod with two-thirds divinity, and his self-awareness is so strong that it can distort reality.

"You mere parasite, dependent on others, dare to presume to devour me?!"

Gilgamesh's eyes were crimson, as if they were about to drip blood.

He forcibly mobilized the vast, ocean-like magical power within his body, constructing golden barriers within his spiritual form to fiercely resist the invasion of that black will.

This is not just a battle of magic, but a contest of souls and wills.

Torn between pain and anger, he involuntarily committed a crazy act.

"Aaaaaah!!"

Gilgamesh roared in agony, "Get out of here!!!"

"The Star of Heaven and Earth's Departure—!!!"

The sword Ea in his hand began to spin wildly as he swung this terrifying treasure, capable of splitting the heavens and earth, haphazardly!

Buzz—Rumble!

The red wind pressure created a destructive wind force field around him.

Dark red beams of light surged erratically in the night sky, like a mad giant wielding a pillar of fire that reached the heavens.

Each swing leaves a dark crack in the space.

The already dilapidated Weiyuanchuan Riverbed has now suffered a devastating blow.

The sand and stones on the beach instantly vaporized, the river water evaporated into mist, and the entire magic field of Fuyuki City began to violently fluctuate.

Spatial rifts spread out like a spider web, the Fuyuki City Bridge collapsed, and huge ravines cracked open in the ground.

This powerful ability to break boundaries not only severely affected the stability of magic in Fuyuki City, but also teetered the entire city on the brink of destruction, as if the end of the world had arrived prematurely.

The buildings in the distance were shaking violently, and explosions caused by the rampage of magic were heard one after another.

Even the clouds in the sky began to distort...

A deep, resonant sound, seemingly emanating from the very depths of the world, instantly spread throughout the entire city of Fuyuki.

Whether they were Servants trying to avoid the aftershocks of Gilgamesh's influence or ordinary people in their sleep, everyone felt their hearts clench at that moment.

The sky has changed.

What was originally a completely black night sky has now revealed a huge, slowly rotating hole.

The void was not pure black, but a chaotic color that was so profound that it contained all the colors in the world.

It was as if a huge hole had been burned through the skin of the sky, revealing the indescribable and terrifying true face of the world beyond.

In the center of that void, a golden light was being conceived, exuding an alluring yet dangerous aura.

The Heaven's Cup has been revealed ahead of schedule.

It originally needed more Heroic Spirits to leave to replenish its energy, but Gilgamesh's Anti-World Noble Phantasm tore apart the balance of the magic field, causing the container of the Heaven's Feel to begin to expand unstablely.

"Master, this is..." Artoria looked at Kiritsugu Emiya beside her.

"Retreat." Kiritsugu Emiya's attitude was decisive: "Finding Irisviel and retrieving the Lesser Grail are our top priorities... We can't get dragged into this."

"But this archer is..."

"I don't have time to discuss chivalry with you this time, Saber."

Kiritsugu abruptly interrupted her, a flicker of anxiety in his eyes: "If something happens to her, everything will be meaningless! You and I will both be utter failures!"

He raised his hand, the red light on the back of it flashing: "Don't make me force you to leave."

After saying that, he ignored Artoria and dragged his badly injured body into the woods.

Artoria gritted her teeth, took a deep look in the direction of the bird, and turned to follow Kiritsugu.

On the other side, Asuka, carrying the weakened sea swallow on her back, was constantly dodging the aftershocks of EA.

"Hehehe... It's started, I didn't expect it to start so soon..."

Looking at the void in the sky, Zang Yan let out a fascinated laugh, seemingly oblivious to the pain of being battered by the wind.

"The hole in the Greater Grail has been opened, but it's not perfect yet... We need to speed things up."

As the bird was about to say something, it suddenly felt a throbbing in its head, and then it heard the voice of the kamado shoujo.

"Mr. Asuka!"

Through the mental connection, Sumire Kamado's anxious cries could be heard.

It seems the little girl is communicating with him using Command Seals.

Through the connection of the Command Seals, she briefly conveyed her experience to him, which made Asuka frown several times.

What displeased him was that this little girl had acted on her own and almost got herself killed.

However, he also confirmed that Violet was currently with Irisviel... which was an unexpected bonus...

After saying all this, Sumire's voice trembled: "...The silver-haired sister's condition is very strange!"

"She looked like she was in pain, and her body was glowing... and that hole in the sky... seemed to be calling to her!"

Upon hearing this, Fei Niao's heart sank.

That woman is the key right now.

He glanced at Gilgamesh, who was still struggling. The king's wrath was destroying the entire battlefield, and there was no need for him to confront him head-on.

"Let's go."

Fei Niao turned to look at Zang Yan: "Go to Liu Dong Temple."

"Liudong Temple? How do you know about that place?" Lieyan was clearly puzzled as to why Feibiao would mention this place name.

That underground place is the heart of the Holy Grail War, the core location where he, Tohsaka, and the Einzbern family jointly constructed the Holy Grail system.

"...The Lesser Grail is there; of course, if you want to keep it, I won't stop you."

Zang Yan chuckled sinisterly: "Heh heh... I never expected to be there... Should I say it's fate's arrangement?"

The two of them quickly left the riverbank that had been reduced to ruins, one after the other, and sped off toward Mount Yuanzang.

Behind him, Gilgamesh's roar grew increasingly ferocious.

The swing of the sword Ea tore more space, but Metastacia's tentacles stubbornly entangled him, preventing him from escaping for the time being.

Black and red light began to pour out from the hole in the sky.

It's like some ominous dye, spreading silently.
