Skadi, returning to infinity

"Gilgamesh, come out here."

Skadi walked to the balcony, looked to the side, and snorted.

"Woman, what business do you have with me?"

Gilgamesh appeared to her left, seemingly deliberately going against her wishes.

However, the fact that he was able to come out already shows that he values ​​Skadi very much.

"What do you want? I know what you want."

Skadi didn't bother arguing with him. She raised her right hand and showed Gilgamesh the Command Seals on the back of her hand.

"I am also a Master, and my Servant is Medea."

With a snap of her fingers, Medea appeared from behind her, silently hovering in the air.

"Oh? Are you declaring war on me?"

Seeing this, Gilgamesh showed a look of great interest.

"No, my goal is to ensure the Holy Grail War proceeds smoothly."

Skadi smiled.

"You should know that summoning the Holy Grail requires six Servants as sacrifices, and only one Servant is the victor."

"Unless you offer your followers as sacrifices as well, I cannot believe your claims of cooperation with me."

Gilgamesh crossed his arms; he only said this because he considered Skadi an equal.

"That's true in theory, but there are other ways to fill this gap in energy."

"Of course, I won't say what the method is for now."

"I just want to know, if it's possible to summon the Holy Grail without sacrificing you."

"And I won't stop you from fulfilling any wishes."

Would you cooperate with me?

There are three suitable collaborators in this Holy Grail War.

Saber's faction includes Kiritsugu Emiya, the Great Emperor, and Gilgamesh.

Skadi didn't want to contact Saber right now, and as for the Emperor, she wasn't interested either.

The strongest Gilgamesh, because of his ambition, is actually the best collaborator.

"How can I trust you, woman?"

"Although you know some of my thoughts, it's quite interesting."

"But that doesn't mean I'm subject to your control."

Gilgamesh did not agree; he was more curious about Skadi.

This woman was convinced that she would follow her arrangements.

"Your cooperation with Kirei Kotomine is simply because he will follow your arrangements and give you what you want."

"And I can give you even more."

Skadi bent down slightly and turned her head to look at Gilgamesh.

Her words made Gilgamesh frown.

What do you mean?

"My teacher, Tokiomi Tohsaka, may continue to be your Master."

"You don't need to worry about what he thinks, just do what you think is right."

"In this Holy Grail War, we stand on the same side."

"Just cooperate with my actions throughout the process, you don't need to think about so much."

"How about it?"

Skadi's terms were actually quite generous; she didn't ask Gilgamesh to do anything, only to cooperate with her.

What can you possibly do?

Gilgamesh looked at her curiously. This woman was indeed very powerful, but he didn't understand what her purpose was.

"What can I do? Not much."

Skadi pursed her lips, straightened her back, and stretched.

“Anyone who dares to challenge us, I will take care of them.”

"that's all.

Skadi's incredibly confident statement reached Gilgamesh's ears, which he greatly admired.

"Hahaha, you are the first ordinary human woman that I have ever admired."

"Among ordinary people, there aren't many with your level of confidence."

"It's very interesting."

Gilgamesh praised Skadi at length, but he didn't comment on whether or not they would cooperate.

"So what? You don't want to cooperate, is that it?"

Skadi sighed softly, wondering if she had been too gentle.

"Skadi, tell me, what is your purpose?"

The voice of Tokiomi Tohsaka came from behind.

It seems that the other party has already reached an agreement with Kirei Kotomine.

He stopped two meters behind Skadi and Gilgamesh.

He was also very curious about Skadi's purpose.

"Teacher, do you care about this?"

Skadi turned to look at him and asked, puzzled.

"Correct."

Nodding, Tokiomi Tohsaka did not deny it.

My purpose.

"It's very simple."

"Going straight to the root of the problem."

Skadi smiled slightly and revealed her "purpose".

She did have this task, but that wasn't her goal.

However, if you were to explain this to Tokiomi Tohsaka, this would be the simplest reason.

"If that's the case, why don't we need the Holy Grail?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka opened his eyes wide.

How could a student like myself want to get to the root of the problem?

"Because it's unnecessary."

"If we use another power to directly reach the root cause, can we really reach the root cause?"

Skadi looked at Tokiomi Tohsaka and asked a very subtle question.

"Why is it impossible?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka frowned, wondering whether he would use the power of the Holy Grail to reach the Root, or use some other method.

As long as the results are consistent, then it is a success.

When the results are the same, it is completely meaningless to dwell on the differences in the process and choices.

“I am well aware of my talent. Without the power of the Holy Grail, I would never be able to touch the Root in my entire life.”

"And now, it's right in front of me, and I have to give it a try."

Tokiomi Tohsaka's tone was firm, even though he already knew about the conflict between himself and Gilgamesh, he didn't want to give up on that.

"I have to consider whether this is the only chance I'll ever have in my life."

"I believe that it is our duty to go to the root of the problem and restore the glory of the Tohsaka family."

"Is that right, teacher?"

Skadi suddenly said something that Tokiomi Tohsaka had been repeating to himself.

"Yes, I have to consider whether this is the only chance I'll ever have in my life."

Tokiomi Tohsaka suddenly realized, yes, that was exactly what he had been thinking.

Upon hearing this, Gilgamesh scoffed.

Chapter 41: The True Ancestor and the Dead Apostles, they've arrived (a big lie)

"The desires of mortals are always so unrealistic and unattainable."

"I'm willing to pay any price for these mundane desires of mine."

"Haha."

Gilgamesh made a sarcastic remark and then tried to leave.

But Skadi wouldn't let him leave.

"I don't care what you think, I just want to know if you're willing to cooperate."

Skadi turned to look at him, her eyes calm.

"Cooperate? Why should I cooperate with you?"
