If there are no problems, the scope narrows down to the Einzbern and Matou families, and Gilgamesh's target is the Matou family.
Illya, who had previously fought Rin Tohsaka, had revealed her strength. After Artoria's battle with Rin Tohsaka today, although they hadn't seen how strong Illya was at her full power, everyone already had a general idea.
Based on this, they roughly made some guesses about Ilya's power.
Therefore, the most likely candidate is Matou Sakura, who has always been shrouded in mystery, has nowhere to hide in Gilgamesh's eyes, and controls both the gray and white forces in Fuyuki City.
Gilgamesh looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others: "This is the plan for now. We'll go to Ryudouji Temple first after nightfall tonight, and after we've dealt with that, we'll head to the Matou family."
"While we are on our mission, another of me will go to hide outside the Einzbern residence in the suburbs, while Kirei Kotomine will wait outside the Tohsaka residence with his servants."
"If they try to interfere while we're focusing all our efforts on dealing with the Matou family, the three of them will try to hold off Rin Tohsaka and buy us some time."
"So urgent?" Emiya Shirou was taken aback.
Gilgamesh said calmly, "The only ones in the Holy Grail War whose information doesn't match the records are the three Masters from the start. Since we can't determine who the source of the anomaly that caused the collapse of the multiverse is, we have no choice but to find a way to break this deadlock."
Fujimaru Ritsuka agreed, "That's right, the sooner the better. If we can complete the Holy Grail War and the ritual tonight, it wouldn't be a bad idea."
As long as Shirou Emiya remains the same as in history, becoming the final winner of this Holy Grail War, and history transitions smoothly, then the crisis of the anomaly will naturally disappear.
Gilgamesh looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka: "If we encounter an insurmountable danger tonight, remember to gather here. I have already set up the ritual. You can activate it by placing that item on it."
"But I don't care what happens then. My Almighty Star can't see through the origin of the thing you brought." After saying that, Gilgamesh gave him a meaningful look.
"Thank you, King Hero."
Fujimaru Ritsuka gave a polite bow, then explained with a wry smile, "Actually, I don't know what that thing is either. It was Mr. Romani who solemnly instructed us to leave, saying it was our last hope."
"But once it is used, there will definitely be uncontrollable factors. It should not be used unless absolutely necessary."
"Yourse use of a power that you can't even control as your last resort is a bit hasty," Artoria said with a frown.
Fujimaru Ritsuka shook her head and said solemnly, "It's not that we didn't want to be fully prepared, but we didn't have time at the time, and we couldn't pinpoint the exact reason."
……
In the evening, after dinner at the Tohsaka residence, Rin Tohsaka looked at Archer, who was tidying up the table, and reminded him, "Archer, tonight you can just follow behind him. Be careful."
Red A paused, looking at the twin-tailed girl opposite him: "So, who are you planning to take on tonight?"
Rin Tohsaka, with an expression that suggested she had seen through everything, said disdainfully, "It's not that I'm going to deal with anyone, but that violent woman always keeps her word, and she'll definitely make her move tonight."
"With her strength and that big guy, tonight's final battle will probably be between me and her, so I definitely won't be able to look after you then."
Tonight, Rin Tohsaka wants to become a god.
Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka said, after the mystery of this world faded away, there was no longer any soil for gods to live in.
So after reaching the peak of the fourth level more than a year ago, Rin Tohsaka felt an incredibly solid bottleneck, and her cultivation level didn't improve much in the past year.
Rin Tohsaka was well aware of this situation. She could either slowly hone her skills and accumulate strength before unleashing it, or she could fight a powerful opponent of equal strength to break through the shackles.
"That violent woman must have the same idea, so tonight's going to be quite lively," Rin Tohsaka thought silently, gazing at the dazzling night view outside her window.

September Bounty Debt (111K/44K)
Chapter 310 begins the clearing process; one slash shatters the golden glitter (bounty pending).
"Senior, shall we just watch from here?"
In the courtyard of Matou Sakura's house, under the starlit night sky, Matou Sakura and Medusa served tea and snacks, which were then arranged by Jiang Jing after he nodded in acknowledgment.
"The Seventh Shadow of AoE: The Eye of Heaven"
hum!
Just as Matou Sakura unleashed her ultimate monitoring technique, a giant light screen slowly unfolded in front of the three of them, like watching a movie in a 3D theater.
The giant light screen is divided into four sections. The left side shows an aerial view of Fuyuki City, while the three sections on the right offer aerial views of the Tohsaka family residence, Einzbern Castle, and the Emiya family residence, respectively.
At this moment, under the terrifying mental power of Matou Sakura, the defensive barrier set up by the three of them had nowhere to hide. However, because Tohsaka Rin and Illya were too strong and their training systems were special, Matou Sakura's detection could not get too close.
On the left was Matou Sakura, and on the right sat Medusa with purple hair dressed as a secretary. Jiang Jing took a sip of the tea that Matou Sakura had poured before looking at Rin Tohsaka and Illya in the picture.
"The two of them are quite talented. Their level of cultivation after ten years is somewhat beyond my expectations."
Jiang Jing categorized the cultivation systems of Rin Tohsaka, Illya, and Sakura Matou according to the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm. Therefore, the two who have already reached the peak of the fourth level are equivalent to the peak of the four-star level and are about to truly transcend the ordinary and enter sainthood.
However, the world's energy is insufficient. Their rapid progress is due to two factors: their own strong talent and the source of light that Jiang Jing left in the small wooden sword.
How powerful was a wisp of his essence? After transforming the souls and bodies of the three girls, the remaining energy was enough for them to digest until now.
Over the years, his cultivation level has risen like a rocket, surpassing the accumulation of hundreds or thousands of years that cultivators took to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in just ten years.
Seeing Jiang Jing praising Rin Tohsaka and Illya, Sakura Matou said proudly, "Senpai, I'm amazing too."
Looking at the pretty girl who seemed to be vying for attention, Jiang Jing smiled and said, "Yes, you've improved more than them, but be careful about taking unconventional approaches."
"Yes, I'll be careful, senpai." Knowing she couldn't hide it from him and not wanting to be too sure, Matou Sakura nodded obediently.
However, she was very confident in the path she was taking and believed she would succeed.
At this moment, deep within Matou Sakura's soul, endless darkness surged wildly like an abyss devouring the world, but was suppressed by a blurry figure emitting a faint light above the abyss.
Between the figure's hands, a diamond, gleaming with dazzling light, slowly rotated; that was the place where Matou Sakura's heart resided, the source of her soul.
Whenever the boundless dark abyss roars and unleashes a monstrous wave of darkness to drown out Matou Sakura's last shred of clarity, it will naturally dissipate within a hundred meters of the blurry figure.
It is impervious to all laws and cannot be shaken.
As Matou Sakura chatted softly with Jiang Jing, Medusa's heart was in turmoil, and she looked at Jiang Jing as if she were looking at the mastermind behind the scenes.
She hadn't expected that there would be two more monsters like Matou Sakura in this Holy Grail War, and that this man had been training them for ten years. What was he planning to do? How strong was he?
These questions arose in Medusa's mind, but after thinking about them for a while, she put them aside, because they didn't matter to her.
Anyway, she's just a projection summoned by the Holy Grail. Once this Holy Grail War is over, she'll disappear, and what happens afterward won't concern her anymore. So she might as well enjoy the peace of this era for a while longer.
Thinking of this, Medusa withdrew her gaze from the river scene and began to enjoy her tea and snacks with a satisfied expression.
With her own Master being stronger than herself and an even more terrifying-looking helper, she, who should have been a main force in the Holy Grail War, found herself with nothing to do.
…………
At Shirou Emiya's house, Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu were checking their equipment, while Shirou Emiya stood to the side with his eyes closed, holding a projected sword and practicing his use of magic.
With Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others around, Emiya Shirou has not only opened up the magic circuits in his body, but also, in addition to the Synchronization Enhancement Magic, he has also mastered the Projection Magic of True Combat Power under their guidance.
With the magic pool on his wrist, Shirou Emiya now possesses some combat power. Although he is not yet comparable to a Heroic Spirit, he is at least stronger than Ritsuka Fujimaru.
"Shirou, we can make the move later, you don't need to go in, okay?" Artoria, sitting to the side, looked at Shirou Emiya and gently reminded him.
Gilgamesh, who was sitting at a table and casually sipping his wine, put down his glass: "Let me confirm again, regarding the two Servants from Ryudouji Temple, you deal with the one outside the gate, and I'll deal with the one inside. A quick and decisive kill."
Artoria nodded: "No problem."
Having checked her equipment, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and said, "Ready."
"I'm ready too."
"Then let's set off..."
Whoosh whoosh! !
At Shirou Emiya's house, Gilgamesh cast a barrier spell to envelop the five people. Artoria took Shirou Emiya, and Mash took Ritsuka Fujimaru. The five of them silently soared into the sky.
……
"The celestial deities descend, all things return to their origin, the seven constellations rise..."
In the tidying grounds of Einzbern Castle, as Gilgamesh and the others set out, Ilya was also performing the ritualistic steps, the starlight beneath her feet echoing the starlight above the sky.
Just as the great formation beneath her was being activated to its limit, Ilya suddenly spoke: "Barsaka, blood."
Roar!
The black giant, who had already been given instructions, let out a low growl and slashed his arm with the huge axe blade in his hand.
puff!
A foot-long gash was cut into the incredibly tough skin, and the hot blood, imbued with its power, sprayed into the formation like a high-pressure water gun, instantly staining the formation with a layer of blood.
Just then, Ilya arrived at the center of the great formation, plunged her magic sword into the ground, and whispered, "Astral Descent, all things are like shadows, manifest..."
In an instant, all the materials of the grand formation turned to ashes with a "poof," and then the crimson starlight, imbued with the power of the Holy Grail, exploded with a roar, transforming into an invisible wave that spread infinitely outward from Einzbern Castle as its center.
In the blink of an eye, the entire city of Fuyuki and the surrounding thousand miles were enveloped, and the scene appeared in Illya's mind like a calm lake, with eight points of light possessing the same Holy Grail power rippling on the surface of the lake.
One from the Tohsaka family, one next to the Tohsaka family, one next to the Matou family, two from Ryudouji Temple, two more moving rapidly towards Ryudouji Temple, and the last one...
Because they both used the earth's ley lines as nodes, Artoria's true form was perceived by Illya, just like Gilgamesh's.
Ilya smiled and pointed outside the castle barrier: "I don't know why there are two more Servants, but it doesn't matter. Basaka, go and kill that Servant who's been spying on us."
Roar!
The black giant's right eye blazed with fury. With a thunderous roar, it shattered the earth and soared into the sky, leaping hundreds of meters and crossing thousands of meters before landing. Then it jumped up again.
In the blink of an eye, Hercules traversed the ten-mile forest and appeared high above a hill, his body radiating crimson light. He wielded a massive axe blade that tore through the vacuum, unleashing a slash with a blade-shaped white atmospheric pressure that stretched for over ten meters.
Bang!
An invisible barrier on the hill shattered, revealing a golden figure sitting on a sofa below, holding a glass of red wine and staring in astonishment at Hercules.
Gilgamesh was very confident in the barrier created by his high-level Noble Phantasm. While monitoring the area around Einzbern Castle with his monitoring Noble Phantasm, he leisurely sipped his red wine.
Then Heracles appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, catching him completely off guard.
boom!
The entire hill collapsed under Hercules' axe, unleashing a terrifying explosion that sent shockwaves shaking the earth for miles around.
"You bastard, how did you find me?"
With his hair slightly disheveled, Jin Shanshan flew high in the sky, his expression gloomy as he looked at the black giant in the crater. If he hadn't reacted quickly and used his Noble Phantasm to teleport away, he might have been chopped into mincemeat by this brute.
Hercules looked up at the golden figure in the sky, his black and red eyes blazing with murderous intent. He merely growled at the golden figure's words, then reached out with his empty hand to grab at him.
hum!
The silver runes on Hercules' body lit up, and instantly a force field with dozens of times the force of gravity enveloped the golden glitter, pulling him down from the sky.
