Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Just as the great Greek hero Hercules was about to unleash his Heavenly Wind Noble Phantasm to absorb the power of Jack the Ripper, Gilgamesh was also about to defeat Richard the Lionheart.

Just then, an unexpected event occurred.

"—Wait, what's going on? Why are the ley lines in Snowfield City flickering? What happened to the ley lines?!"

On the tense battlefield, at a certain moment, a huge change that no one could have foreseen suddenly occurred.

All the Heroic Spirits, including the two strongest Heroic Spirits, Hercules and Gilgamesh, as well as those who did not participate and were hidden in the shadows, suddenly found that their bodies became illusory and flickering.

This is a sign of an internet outage.

The reason why Heroic Spirits can exist here is due to the magical power provided by their Masters, but the root of everything is the ley lines of Snowfield City and the Holy Grail that was not yet formed in Snowfield City. This is the foundation of everything.

However, it is now obvious to everyone that the city's geomantic energy has suddenly become extremely unstable.

The energy became extremely weak for a moment, so weak that it seemed a gust of wind could blow it away and extinguish it, and then suddenly became incredibly dazzling, so dazzling that it seemed to be able to materialize directly into the Holy Grail that allows people to make wishes.

The bodies of the heroic spirits suddenly became incredibly ethereal, and then suddenly became even more powerful.

Such a thing is simply impossible. Logically and magically, it's impossible for the earth's veins to undergo such a sudden and strange change!

"not good……"

Jack the Ripper, who resembled a demon from hell, was boasting about his power to the Greek hero Hercules one second, but the next second his hair stood on end, and he couldn't help but feel restless and anxious, muttering, "This is not right, this is definitely not right!"

"Wang Woo!"

The three-headed hellhound, summoned by Hercules to become his mount, is a mythical beast that has seen countless great heroes and many gods up close.

Just a second ago, it was baring its teeth, ready to attack Jack the Ripper and the twenty-eight policemen in the police station who were wearing the "Monster Twenty-Eight" artifacts forged by Alexandre Dumas.

But now, they couldn't even utter a fierce roar. The three heads, more uneasy than Jack the Ripper, turned around, trying to see where their pressure was coming from.

“It seems that now is not a good time for us to continue fighting…” Cold sweat slowly trickled down Richard the Lionheart’s forehead.

Aside from the fluctuations in the earth's veins, he knew nothing and discovered nothing. Despite being a top-tier Heroic Spirit, he could only sense an impending storm and could not detect anything at all!

He must go back immediately to protect Ayaka!

Richard the Lionheart left without permission. Given Gilgamesh's temper, he should have angrily chased after him, hurling insults and beatings at him, saying things like, "It is an honor for you to fight against me, yet you dare to try to desert in the face of battle. What do you take the honor I have given you for?"

but.

...fear, sweat pouring down my back.

Gilgamesh did not want to admit it, and was unwilling to admit it.

But the truth is, he now feels extremely uneasy about something from the root of the problem.

This unease and fear is a thousand times greater than the fear and unease he felt when he went with his best friend Enkidu to defeat Humbaba, who could also be called Tiger Wood Baba, but was instead beaten to a pulp and nearly died!

"Thump thump thump thump!"

With countless whooshes, the Gate of Babylon was unleashed, and all the defensive Noble Phantasms in the royal vault were released in an instant, covering Gilgamesh and his Master Tiny.

This is not caution, nor vigilance, but purely instinctive, the maximum and most effective safety measures a creature can take when faced with the fear of the unknown.

Without anyone noticing, Gilgamesh suddenly found himself wielding the supreme Noble Phantasm, Ea...

This was supposed to be the final, strongest trump card that was taken out of the treasury when fighting against his best friend Enkidu, or when fighting against other enemies whose combat power was comparable to Enkidu's.

Now, simply because of a strange unease and fear, it was subconsciously taken out and tightly gripped in his hand!

"!"

Gilgamesh's pupils constricted sharply upon discovering this fact!

Even when he was brutally beaten by Fenbaba, he never showed such weakness or humiliated himself in this way!

However, what was even more terrifying was that even though he had realized that he had done something so contrary to the king's will, something so no different from other bastards, something so mediocre, even though his heart was screaming with rage, ordering himself to retract this action.

Even so, his body still wouldn't obey his commands, tightly gripping the Star of Heaven and Earth's Separation and Creation, not daring to loosen his grip even slightly.

Do not……

Not just the body.

It should be said that, apart from his own arrogant personality, his entire soul, his self-awareness that was not influenced or manipulated by anyone, was actively choosing this behavior.

He himself was truly terrified to such an extent!

Tiny, whose vision was enhanced by magic, stared in astonishment at the distant figure of King Gilgamesh: "Lord Gilgamesh?"

What is this doing?

From the moment she summoned Lord Gilgamesh until the time she spent with him, she had come to know all too well just how proud this monarch was.

—Although others might call it arrogance, conceit, or narcissism, as a subject of Lord Gilgamesh, Tiny naturally only saw it as pride.

But the proud Lord Gilgamesh has now made such a move without even seeing a single enemy.

The sky has fallen. Is this still the Gilgamesh she knows?

Gilgamesh's face darkened, and he shouted sternly from a distance, "Who gave you permission to spy on me, Tiny? Did I give you permission?!"

It was utterly shameful. He made such a move simply because of some inexplicable unease, pulling out Ea and covering a 360-degree area with countless defensive artifacts.

Such a shameful act of self-deprecation is unprecedented, both in life and after death, even in the Throne of Heroes.

Having done such a thing, how could I let others see it, especially my new subordinate Tini? My image as the proudest king in the world would crumble!

"Sorry, Ji—"

Tini panicked and immediately realized that the king could do it, but she couldn't watch, because it would damage the king's image.

So she immediately wanted to apologize, and, in a self-deceptive act, dispelled the magic that enhanced her eyesight, refusing to look at Lord Gilgamesh who had pulled out Ea.

However, before her words of apology could even fully escape her throat, the rest of them vanished without a trace.

Because it got dark.

Or rather, it's heavenly gold.

"—"

It was said to be dark because Xueyuan City was suddenly covered by something about fifty meters long. Logically speaking, when something covers the city, its presence and shadow will cause darkness to fall, even though it was already night.

However, the reason why Tianjin was mentioned is precisely because, although that thing, which was about fifty meters long, was very large, it unexpectedly did not turn that area black.

Because that thing was so golden, its entire body was golden, making it exceptionally, or rather, incredibly, strikingly, and so uniquely distinctive in the darkness.

"what……"

Tini stared blankly at the thing.

Lord Gilgamesh's hair may be yellow or gold; Lord Gilgamesh's armor may be yellow or gold.

However, in front of this thing that is about fifty meters tall, Lord Gilgamesh can only appear yellow.

Because if Gilgamesh were to be described as golden, then she would definitely, definitely have uncontrollable and unrestrained disrespectful thoughts towards him.

If Lord Gilgamesh is golden, then, then—Lord Gilgamesh, is not even a fraction of that golden thing, not even a ten-millionth of it!

"Ugh……"

It was like a series of trivial, rambling thoughts.

"What kind of weird stuff is this? I just said I was just passing by, just passing by, swept here by the spacetime turbulence. I wasn't hit by the Dark Sparks. I have plenty of ability to go and rest in other unrelated universes on my own. If you don't let me in here, do you think I'm some kind of robber who would insist on coming in?"

"I already told you I was just passing through, and since you didn't welcome me, I left. Why are you attacking me instead? What's your motive?"

"Now look what's happened, they let me in instead. What a lunatic, a complete wild dog with its left and right hemispheres fighting each other, so inexplicable, so utterly meaningless!"

A stream of rambling that's completely incomprehensible.

But here's the problem.

They shouldn't have been able to understand a single word of what the other person was saying, but they somehow managed to understand it.

What kind of concept is this?

alien?

Moreover, they are probably unknown extraterrestrials with an unimaginable level of purity!

And what's even more terrifying is...

"what……"

Frat, one of the best students in Lord El-Melloi II's classroom at the Clock Tower, stood there with his mouth agape, momentarily forgetting that his emotional perception was different from that of ordinary people, and also forgetting that he was a quirky and funny character.

He stared blankly as something shattered the instant the golden object appeared.

That "something" is a magic jointly created by all parties involved in the Holy Grail War, as well as the Holy Church as the overseer. It is a magic that can greatly isolate the Heroic Spirits from being perceived by ordinary people.

That magic trick, now, is broken.

This is simply because the effect of this magic trick is to [isolate ordinary people from the perception of the anomaly as much as possible].

That golden thing was, of course, an anomaly that defied common sense.

So, it broke.

This means there's a significant difference between the isolation magic created through the combined efforts of multiple parties and that golden object...

It probably means that even if countless Gilgamesh or countless Heracles were combined, the difference between them would be enormous.

Flatt didn't know.

Because neither what he had learned nor his own thinking could grasp this kind of thing.

Moreover, in his understanding, he felt that such a thing should not exist.

Even if the supreme gods in the legends and myths really exist, they could not possibly have such a gap that even their sheer numbers cannot make up for or erase compared to the Lightning-level Heroic Spirits like Gilgamesh and Hercules.

"teacher……"

While on the phone with his teacher in London, Flat said blankly, "Teacher, have you ever seen something golden...?"

“Golden things? You mean Gilgamesh? Damn it, this isn’t the time for that, Flat!”

A commotion came from the other end of the phone. Monarch El-Melloi II was cursing, "For some reason, the ley lines of the Clock Tower have suddenly become disordered. No, it's not just the Clock Tower's ley lines; it seems many students and professors have also discovered ley line problems in various places..."

"I can't talk to you about Gilgamesh right now, Flat. I'm so busy, damn it. Although the ley line disorder hasn't caused any damage, if we can't find the cause, the entire mystical world will soon be in chaos. I need to think carefully about whether there's any way to deal with it!"

what.

Although the teacher is in a hurry, shouldn't he say to the teacher now, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, let me worry first"?
