FATE: Target of Grand Master

"Wait a minute, Ishtar."

Just as Ishtar was about to unleash her Noble Phantasm, Gilgamesh, who was supposed to be directing operations from the walls of Uruk, appeared beside the two of them.

"Hmph, Gilgamesh, are you going to plead for this enemy?"

"I'm not pleading for it. I just want to tell you that these Rahm are not under its control. Furthermore, if you use your Noble Phantasm here, it will disrupt my plans."

"What do I care about your plans? I'm going to bury this guy and his disgusting brethren deep in the ground in Uruk right now."

"Foolish goddess! You're just venting your anger, and you've chosen the wrong target! Look around, those Rahmans have already surrounded us. Even if you unleash a Noble Phantasm, you can't possibly wipe out all the Rahmans in Uruk. Let me be frank, what you're doing is a complete waste of mana."

As Gilgamesh and Ishtar were talking, countless Rahmams surrounded them. Several Rahmams even carried a few terrified humans into the sky and then hurled them to the ground amidst their screams.

If nothing unexpected happens, these humans will be smashed into mincemeat.

Upon seeing this, Ishtar immediately manipulated Maana to catch the group, while the Rahms, who attempted to use this opportunity to ambush Ishtar, were bound by Kingu's Chains of Heaven.

Ishtar was taken aback, clearly surprised, but she did not thank Kingu, instead preparing to leave with the others.

"Go to the temple, Siduri will take good care of them."

Upon hearing Gilgamesh's reminder, Ishtar flew away without looking back.

The Rahim who were about to launch another attack were once again bound by Kingu's Chains of Heaven, while Gilgamesh, who should have stepped in to help, made no move.

"You seem very certain that I will make a move."

Kingu was somewhat displeased with Gilgamesh's arrogant demeanor, as if he had foreseen everything.

"Hahaha. Kingu, I'll only say this once. Even if you are Tiamat's child, your body is still that of my dearest friend. Isn't it only natural that I'm fully aware of my friend's actions?"

"What a joke! I am Jingu, not your 'Enkidu' best friend!"

King could always sense that this body was uncomfortable facing Gilgamesh, but the more uncomfortable it was, the more King wanted to suppress this discomfort in order to demonstrate his dominance over this body.

"Hehehe..."

"Hehehe..."

"Hehehe..."

Suddenly, the surrounding Rahms began to burst into unsettling laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jingu felt that these Rahms were mocking him.

"It's clearly... just a... defective product..."

"And he also thinks... he's... really amazing..."

"This is... really... hilarious..."

"Chirp chirp... Chirp chirp... Chirp chirp..."

"You can actually talk!"

While Kingu was surprised, he did not notice that a Rahm emerged from the ground behind him and stabbed at Kingu's heart.

Pfft!

Kingu couldn't believe that these mass-produced types had attacked him, and the Holy Grail, which was his heart, had been taken away by that Rahm.

Seeing this, Gilgamesh immediately activated the Gate of Babylon and fired several Noble Phantasms, but they were blocked by the other Rahmans with their bodies.

The Rahm that had obtained the Holy Grail transformed into an even more powerful Balrahhm, which flapped its wings and began to fly towards the sea.

Gilgamesh wanted to use the Chains of Heaven to trap Baalrahim, but then he remembered that he had given them to Xia Yan. So, he turned to Vimana to pursue him, but then remembered that he had given them to Feng Yan.

With this delay, Baalrahim accelerated away, while the remaining Rahim attacked Gilgamesh on one side and Kingu on the other.

"Hmph. I never imagined that I would fight alongside you in this way."

Even when faced with hordes of Rahmans covering the mountains and fields, Gilgamesh showed no sign of panic. He wielded his giant axe in one hand and summoned a Noble Phantasm from the Gate of Babylon with the other, shooting it at the charging Rahmans.

In comparison, Jingu's combat strength was greatly reduced after his heart was taken away. He vomited blood and collapsed after barely firing two chains, unable to provide any further assistance.

However, more than the physical pain, the real reason Tiamat lost all fighting spirit was his confusion about his mother's order for the Rahms to do this.

In the end, am I just a tool?

If even the identity of being "Tiamat's child" is no longer there, then how should one exist?

Perhaps it would be better to die like this.

"Tch. You dare to use the body of my dearest friend in your current state?"

Seeing Kingu use Enkidu's face to make a desperate expression of having given up all hope, Gilgamesh shouted sternly: "A mere fatal wound? If it were my king's best friend, he would have made these Rahm and the Tiamat behind them pay the price before he breathed his last."

"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering."

Provoked by Gilgamesh's words, Kingu also retorted sharply, a rare occurrence for him.

"Hmph, you still have the strength to fight back against me? Then think carefully about what else you can do with this body."

Gilgamesh swung his giant axe, which drew a circle in mid-air, slaying three Rahmans before returning to Gilgamesh's hand.

Guided by Gilgamesh, Kingu began to ponder what else he could do.

However, after thinking it over, Jingu realized that whether he went to question Tiamat or seek revenge, he had to survive first.

To live on—was this what Gilgamesh wanted him to do? But the Holy Grail that supplied this body with magic had been taken away by Baallahem. What could he do?

boom!

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered above their heads, and then several bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, instantly turning any Rahms they encountered along the way into charred remains.

Unlike ordinary lightning, these bolts of lightning contained the aura of gods. Gilgamesh looked up and saw Ibuki manipulating the lightning to sweep away the Rahms who were attacking the two of them.

"Your Majesty! Catch!"

Xia Yan shot Lan Muyan into Typhon's body, and Morgan then threw the Uruk Cup back to Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh was taken aback when he caught the Uruk cup, but then he understood Xia Yan's intention. He smiled slightly and said to Xia Yan, "I will give you other rewards later."

He turned to look at Jingu, whose heart had a large hole in it, and threw the Uruk cup at him without hesitation.

As if drawn by an attraction, the Uruk Cup struck Jingu precisely in the heart, then transformed into golden light and merged into his body.

Kingu looked at Gilgamesh with an incredulous expression, as if asking, "Why did you save me?"

"Don't look at me with that foolish expression. This body of yours belongs to my dearest friend. Saving you is the same as saving it. I don't want to see it die in front of me a second time."
