"Hmph! The Holy Grail is ultimately my treasure, that's for sure. I've only come here to reclaim it." Gilgamesh didn't care about the gazes of others, because he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
Indeed, the Holy Grail is not currently in his Gate of Babylon, but as long as he wins the Holy Grail War, it will naturally be reclaimed, meaning it will still belong to him.
"Hahaha, no matter what, I really want the Holy Grail. If I want it, I'll just plunder it. That's my way of doing things. After all, I, Iskandar... am the King of Conquerors!" Iskandar said with a laugh.
"Then there's nothing I can do. You've broken my law, so you'll be punished by me. There's no room for excuses."
"In that case, there's no other way but to fight with swords drawn."
"Let's postpone the fight for now. We can't let such precious wine go to waste," Shuten said calmly, setting down his wine cup.
Nero nodded and said, "That's right, tonight is not the time for fighting. Compared to that, King of Conquerors, what is it that you want to pursue when you obtain the Holy Grail?"
Chapter 1169 The King's Feast (Part 2)
As Nero asked the question, Iskandar, who had been very outgoing, suddenly became hesitant and embarrassed. His face flushed slightly, he gulped down a glass of wine and said shyly, "To obtain a body."
"Ha!" Everyone looked at him in surprise. No one expected that the mighty King of Conquerors would have such a wish.
Tsuchimikado Fuyu knew his reason, but he didn't say it. After all, it's better for the person involved to say it themselves.
"Isn't your wish to conquer the world?" Weber asked in surprise.
"Fool, what's the point of letting a cup conquer the world for me?" Iskandar said unhappily. "Conquest is a dream I want to achieve myself. The Holy Grail is just the first step in achieving that dream."
"You scoundrel, is it really for such a trivial matter that you're challenging me?" Gilgamesh asked, somewhat speechless.
"Although we have descended through magic, we are ultimately just servants. I want to become a real life in this world I am reincarnated into and take root here."
To challenge heaven and earth with one's own body—that is the entirety of the act of "conquest." To begin, to advance, and to ultimately achieve... that is my domineering way!
"Hmph, I've made up my mind, Conqueror King, I will kill you with my own hands," Gilgamesh said with a smile.
This was the first time he hadn't called the Conqueror King "Mammonia," but had instead addressed him by his full name, demonstrating his recognition of the Conqueror King.
He is never afraid of challenges; on the contrary, he admires those "ordinary people" who dare to challenge themselves.
"I think there's no need to remind you now. I also really want to take all the treasures from your treasury. Be careful," the Conqueror King said confidently.
“While your wish sounds nice, King of Conquerors, we won’t hand over the Holy Grail to you just because of that,” Nero said with a smile.
"Then, Your Majesty of Rome, what are your desires?" Iskandar asked.
"My wish was fulfilled after the Holy Grail came to me. I only wanted the Holy Grail because my lover needed it, and I had no other wish."
“Interesting, a gift for your lover?” Iskandar nodded and said, “Then I guess your original wish was related to your lover.”
"Of course, I enjoyed everything in this world during my lifetime, except for true love, but now I have made up for that last deficiency."
"If I really have a wish, it's to be with my beloved forever, and maybe hold a few more concerts," Nero said earnestly.
"Hahahaha, your wishes are all so ridiculous! It seems I'll have to add another name to my kill list. King of Rome, I'm going to crush your wishes with my own hands!" Gilgamesh laughed wildly.
"Hmph, you can defeat Enkidu first," Nero said nonchalantly.
"So, young man, as the king's lover, don't you have anything to say?" Iskandar asked with a smile.
"What I want to say is this," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said after a moment's thought. "Then I will do everything in my power to obtain the Holy Grail, and then fulfill the wish that my girlfriends and I share."
"Oh! You're quite the character. Well then, kid, next time we meet, we'll be true enemies. Don't get taken down so easily," said the Conqueror King.
"Likewise, let's hope the Conqueror King isn't left out either, because we won't be honestly fighting you one-on-one, after all, your King's Army is a very good way to attack in groups."
Tsuchimikado Fuyu inadvertently revealed the Conqueror King's Noble Phantasm. The Conqueror King looked at Tsuchimikado Fuyuyu in surprise, then laughed loudly, "I'm really getting more and more interested in you. You even know about my Noble Phantasm? That's really bad."
Are you worried?
"Of course not!" the Conqueror King said confidently. "Then, what are your wishes regarding the Holy Grail War, you other three kings?"
"No, I don't need that kind of thing." Shuten shook his head and said, "We will fulfill our own wishes. A mere broken cup cannot bear the vision of two worlds."
"You've got quite the nerve! Looks like you demon kings aren't so simple after all." The Conqueror King exclaimed, "You're clearly not a Heroic Spirit, but you don't seem like any other creature I've ever seen. It's really intriguing."
"You'll see it when you have the chance in the future."
"Then I look forward to that day. But since you don't need the Holy Grail, why did you come to participate in this war?"
“Yes, because they are my shikigami, and they came to help,” Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.
Tsuchimikado Fuyu's words shocked everyone once again.
"Are you kidding me?! Are Japanese shikigami really that strong?" Waver asked blankly.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kenneth were also frowning and deep in thought.
Especially Tokiomi Tohsaka, among these people, he probably knows the most about shikigami and onmyoji. After all, they are all from a large family in the Japanese mystical world, and they know each other to some extent.
But he had seen shikigami before, and even the strongest ones he had encountered, he had a way to deal with them. There was no shikigami that could fight against heroic spirits!
Tokiomi Tohsaka was certain that if he were to fight Shuten-dōji, he would be the one to die.
"Hahaha, interesting. So that's the reason. Kid, you're quite the surprise," Iskandar said with a laugh.
However, unlike the Conqueror King's curious gaze, Gilgamesh looked at the sky with a hint of contemplation. Was all this fuss about him?
Although he didn't know what Gaia and Alaya were up to, he suddenly felt that it was probably related to Tsuchimikado Fuyu.
Whether it's the mysterious shikigami, the knowledge that knows everyone's trump cards, his never-before-seen servants, or the allies who are capable of sweeping through this war.
All of this seemed to be a game field set up around Tsuchimikado Fuyu.
Gilgamesh hated this feeling. The more he hated it, the more he wanted to smash the chessboard and let those guys who loved to watch the drama know the consequences of angering the king.
At this moment, Gilgamesh made no attempt to conceal his murderous intent towards Tsuchimikado Fuyu.
Unfortunately, the killing intent came quickly and disappeared just as quickly.
Sensing Gilgamesh's killing intent, before Nero could even get angry, Enkidu grabbed Gilgamesh's arm and said, "Gil, mind your royal image."
"Hmph!" Jin Shanshan snorted coldly and silently began to drink his wine.
Gilgamesh's anger flashed and disappeared in an instant, unnoticed by anyone except Nero and Enkidu. Instead, everyone's attention was now focused on Scáthach.
But to everyone's surprise, Scáthach simply said something under the expectant gazes of the crowd.
Chapter 1070 The King's Feast (Part 2)
"Vacation".
Scáthach's answer completely stunned the Conqueror King and his companions. What a powerful reason! For a moment, they didn't know how to respond.
To be honest, after hearing the reasons given by the three kings on Tsuchimikado Fuyu's side, the Conqueror King and Saber King had a feeling that they were the only ones taking the Holy Grail seriously this time, while the Black Faction seemed to be just playing around and taking the Holy Grail along the way.
"Ahem, so finally, King of Knights, what is the wish you wish for when you seize the Holy Grail?" Iskandar paused for a moment, then changed the subject, looking at the Saber King and asking.
After a moment of silence, Saber said, "My wish is to save my homeland and use the omnipotent wish-granting machine to change the fate of Great Britain's destruction."
Saber's wish shocked everyone again; they never expected that Saber would have such a wish.
After a long while, Iskandar finished his drink and then spoke: "Hey! King Knight, you just said you wanted to change fate, did you mean you wanted to overturn history?"
“That’s right. If the Holy Grail is truly omnipotent, then even wishes that miracles or other supernatural abilities cannot be fulfilled, it certainly can…”
"Hmph hmph hmph." As soon as Saber finished speaking, Gilgamesh's disdainful laughter was heard, and Nero and the others looked at her with some confusion.
Even Xiao Mo was somewhat puzzled.
“Um…Knight King, let me confirm, that country called Britain, it perished in your era, right? It perished under your rule, right?” Iskandar asked.
“That’s right, that’s why I can’t forgive myself,” said Saber. “That’s why I regret it and want to change that ending, because it was my responsibility.”
"Hahahaha." Gilgamesh's laughter grew louder and louder, prompting Saber to ask in confusion, "King of Heroes, what are you laughing at?"
"He calls himself a king, and others call him a king, and this kind of person actually says he regrets it? Hahaha, how can this not make me laugh?" Gilgamesh laughed loudly.
Just then, Xiao Mo suddenly stood up, looked directly at Gilgamesh, and said, "Hero King, although I agree with my father's wish, she is not someone you can laugh at."
"Mordred, sit down." Just then, Saber suddenly said seriously, "I don't know why you are laughing, but the homeland that gave me the sword and for which I sacrificed my life has been destroyed. I am heartbroken by this. What is there to laugh about?"
"Hey, did you hear that? Conqueror King, this little girl who calls herself the Knight King even has the nerve to talk about sacrificing herself for her country." Gilgamesh was completely unaffected by Mordred's words, and instead laughed even more happily.
"Why are you laughing? As a king, you should step forward to ensure the prosperity of the country you rule," said the Saber King solemnly.
“No, it is not the king who sacrifices himself, but the nation and the people who sacrifice themselves for the king, not the other way around,” the Conqueror King denied.
"What did you say? Wouldn't that be the rule of a tyrant?" Saber King questioned.
“Indeed, we became heroes precisely because we were tyrants. But, King Knight, if you regret your rule and the fate of your kingdom, then you are nothing but a tyrant, even worse than a foolish one,” Iskandar said.
Just as Saber was about to retort, Tsuchimikado Fuyu spoke up: "Conqueror King, I do not entirely agree with your ideas."
"Oh? Kid, do you agree with the Knight King's ideals?"
"I wouldn't say I agree. I just think that you live in two different eras, have different historical backgrounds, and have experienced and endured different things. So how can you be so sure that the Knight King is wrong?"
Your era achieved unification, national prosperity, and a strong and prosperous people. After the people were well-fed and clothed, they wanted to pursue their dreams. Therefore, what the people needed was not a king who could only maintain the status quo, but a hegemon who could lead them to make great strides. It was for this reason that you were able to complete the great Eastern Expedition.
The country in which the Knight King lived was beset by internal and external troubles and was on the verge of collapse. The appearance of the Knight King only delayed this process.
In an era when people couldn't get enough to eat or wear, dreams were a luxury. What the people needed was not a king who shouted about dreams, but a wise ruler who could make the country prosperous again.
"Knight King has actually done a very good job. I think if it were you, or Hero King in his current state, you probably wouldn't have done as well as Knight King."
"Ha! You mongrel! You really dare to say that." Jin Shanshan scoffed.
Ignoring Gilgamesh's angry outburst, Tsuchimikado Fuyu changed the subject and looked at Gilgamesh, saying, "King of Heroes, is your mockery of the King of Knights really because you disagree with her ideals?"
"of course."
"So, why did you die from overwork?"
"..." Gilgamesh was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickering uncertainly under the questioning gazes of the Conqueror King and the others.
Gilgamesh did not answer Tsuchimikado Fuyu's question, but his silence showed that what Tsuchimikado Fuyu said was true.
This was something the Conqueror King and his men hadn't expected. They never imagined that this arrogant fellow, who called everyone a "misfit" and looked down on everyone else, would die from overwork.
Is this guy a wise ruler?
Impossible, impossible.
“Boy, while what you say makes some sense, I still don’t agree with a king who denies the history he created,” Iskandar said, shaking his head once again.
"Hmm, I don't agree either." Tsuchimikado Fuyu's words startled Saber. She had assumed Tsuchimikado Fuyu supported her, but why...?
"Why?" asked the Saber King.
"Because only you can sit in that position," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile. "The history you created is not your achievement alone, but something you accomplished together with your people."
