Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

In each clash, there are not only battles between Masters, but also duels between Servants.

Even between Servants and Masters who form a contract, there is a mutual exploitation and distrust between them. To achieve a unique victory, there is often no room for genuine feelings.

Samael stood there, watching the somewhat gloomy figure walk further and further away, shaking his head and muttering to himself.

In pursuit of what they perceive as light, humanity has resorted to all sorts of dark methods.

But even if we reach the end, is that light truly light?

Meanwhile, in the second-floor bedroom.

Rin Tohsaka's gaze fell upon her father's departing figure through the window. She decisively abandoned her half-finished homework, cautiously locked the door, and then took out her phone from her bag. After fiddling with it for a while and with great effort, she finally managed to dial the number saved in her phonebook.

"Hey, Irene, something's wrong!"

As soon as the connection was completed, Rin Tohsaka covered the microphone and quickly told her Master what she had seen in the basement, keeping it brief and to the point.

"Me too, I'll be reporting to the Fuyuki City Grand Gymnasium at 8 PM tomorrow night."

At this moment, Ereshkigal, who was crouching in a hotel and observing the Kotomine Church with binoculars, looked down at the still somewhat hot inscription on the back of her hand and couldn't help but frown and nod.

"You received the notification too? It seems this is true."

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka was slightly taken aback, and then her expression turned somewhat serious.

"Damn it, isn't the Holy Grail War supposed to be a secret war? How could this happen? If we show up, won't we be exposed!"

The distressed young lady collapsed onto the bed, sometimes scratching her hair, sometimes rolling around in the blankets, feeling extremely depressed.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

In the hotel, Ereshkigal put down her binoculars and gave a soft reminder.

"The notice only said to be present, it didn't say to show your face. Couldn't you change your clothes and cover your face?"

"Yup!"

In an instant, with this guidance, Rin Tohsaka suddenly understood.

Anyway, her size will increase dramatically after she becomes a god, and with her face covered, even her own father wouldn't be able to recognize her easily, right?

Seeing her troublesome problem easily solved by the Master opposite her, Rin Tohsaka had a sudden thought. She looked at the table with a flicker in her eyes and spoke seriously.

"Ellie, there's something very important I need your help with..."

"what's up?"

Hearing Rin Tohsaka speak so solemnly, Ereshkigal couldn't help but feel nervous and listened attentively.

A moment later, accompanied by a long inhale, a cautious whisper reached my ears.

"Homework is due tomorrow. Could you please do these practice problems for me?"

"roll!"

Immediately, Ai Lei, who was holding her phone, remained silent for a long time before finally squeezing out a sinister word through gritted teeth, her face darkening.

Chapter 148 The Last Bloodshed of Humanity (4.2k)

The next day, evening.

As the time drew near, Tokiomi Tohsaka bid farewell to his family, took a newly prepared walking stick, and drove alone to the Fuyuki City Grand Gymnasium.

Samael, who had transformed into a spirit, quietly sat in the back seat, watching the night view of Fuyuki City through the car window with great interest.

Gradually, the relaxed and composed demeanor of his own servant calmed Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was somewhat nervous and troubled by the current unclear situation in the driver's seat.

Free at last!

As the car drove away from the Tohsaka mansion and disappeared into the distance, a petite figure in the second-floor bedroom, who was hunched over her desk doing her homework with a bitter expression, suddenly threw down her pencil, shook her aching wrist, and cheered excitedly.

Immediately, Rin Tohsaka's eyes darted around, she opened a drawer, took out a sign that read "Studying, Do Not Disturb," and furtively hung it on the door. Then she locked the door, opened the window, and jumped down from the height.

Whoosh!

However, just as the girl was falling to the ground, a golden door opened, and the magnificent celestial ship Maana, with its ancient gold and blue patterns, flew through the air and caught its former master. Then, it transformed into a stream of light and sped off towards the agreed location.

As they sped along, the air currents cut by the Sky Ship Maanna wailed and howled on both sides.

Rin Tohsaka, now in the form of a young girl, spreads her arms, feeling the force of the wind hitting her skin. Gazing at the houses, which are the size of matchboxes, and the vehicles, which look like ants, below the clouds, she happily reminisces about the wonderful memories of illegal street racing in the Age of Gods.

Unfortunately, the thrilling revisited car chase didn't last long before Maana activated a concealment spell to lower her altitude.

Because we're almost there.

In a place as small as a human city, it's impossible to have as much fun as in the vast Age of Gods.

As Maanna quietly landed on the rooftop of a dilapidated apartment building, Rin Tohsaka, who had just gotten into the swing of things, could only open her eyes in frustration, jump off her vehicle, and end the voyage with a sense of dejection.

"Why did you come?"

As soon as the spaceship landed, Ai Lei, who had been hiding at the bottom of the stairs, emerged from the shadows and snorted in dissatisfaction.

"I need to finish my homework! And you won't do it for me..."

Rin Tohsaka rolled her eyes at Ereshkigal as she approached, grumbling in annoyance.

"Wake up! The Age of Gods is long gone! Do you think it's still like before, where no matter what you do, there are plenty of people to clean up your mess?"

Ai Lei scoffed at this, and began to scold a certain troublemaker with a long criminal record, before continuing to lie on the balcony, setting up binoculars to spy on the Fuyuki City Grand Gymnasium not far away.

"how's it going?"

Rin Tohsaka stepped forward, glanced at the gathering point in the distance, and frowned as she asked.

“Five groups of people have already gone in: a silver-haired girl holding a strange hand puppet, a magician from the clock tower, an android from the Einzbern family, Tokiomi and his servant, and Scáthach and her master.”

"Leave now?"

"No rush, let's wait until they're all inside before we come out. Wouldn't that be more discreet?"

Ai Lei, who was in charge of observation, answered casually, but her eyes remained focused on the area in front of the Fuyuki City Gymnasium.

Night fell, and time ticked by.

"what time is it?"

7:47

Upon hearing the definite answer, Ai Lei immediately stood up and threw a prepared backpack across the way.

"It's almost time, let's not wait any longer. Everything's ready, let's get dressed quickly!"

When it came to business, Rin Tohsaka had no choice but to suppress her irritation and change into another set of clothes.

As twin sisters, they are similar in size, and even their souls are of the same origin, with almost identical preferences.

Therefore, when choosing clothes, Ai Lei only needed to compare herself to the clothes, which didn't take much effort.

After successfully transforming, Rin Tohsaka, wearing indigo jeans and a red vest, admired her new look as she turned around with a flourish.

"Oh, right, don't forget to wear this."

At this moment, Ereshkigal, who was in the shadows, looked at the two highly recognizable faces, slapped her forehead, and quickly opened the outer pocket of her backpack, throwing another item over.

Tch, as the goddess of love and beauty, she actually has to hide her face. How disappointing!

Realizing she had to conceal her identity, Rin Tohsaka snorted and shook her head, looking somewhat regretful.

When her gaze fell upon the tool in her hand that concealed her identity, her face suddenly froze, and the corner of her lips twitched slightly.

"This is the mask you prepared?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

As Ellie spoke from the corner, she put on the pure black hood in her hand, revealing her mouth and eyes through the three pre-drilled holes.

Instantly, a fierce and powerful aura emanated from them.

"This is a huge problem! Are you going to compete or rob someone?!"

Rin Tohsaka stared at the professional-looking bandit mask in her hand and couldn't help but complain in frustration.

"There's no difference, it's just to hide our identities anyway."

Behind the mask, Ellie explained with conviction.

"This thing won't fall off during vigorous activity, and it's very breathable. If you put it on your head, even people who know you well won't recognize you. It's perfect for hiding your identity."

"..."

Such an impeccable reason left Rin Tohsaka speechless.

"Stop talking nonsense and put them on quickly, or we won't have time to get in!"

Seeing that Rin Tohsaka was still hesitating in place, Ereshkigal glanced at the hands of her watch and then, without saying a word, put a black hood over Rin Tohsaka's head. The two Mesopotamian goddesses looked like a pair of ruthless bandits plotting something sinister.

Thankfully, it only resembles it...

Just as Rin Tohsaka, who was used to being a good citizen, was secretly comforting herself, her hand suddenly felt heavy.

"Take this. Use it for self-defense if it's inconvenient to perform magic later."

Faced with such a considerate older sister, Rin Tohsaka looked down at the cool metallic touch in her palm and the faint glow of something, along with its familiar outline, and fell silent once again.

Now, everything is complete.

When the police see them, they're guaranteed to be given small pure silver bracelets and free prison food.

Rin Tohsaka, who went from being a model student to a ruthless gunman, couldn't help but twitch her lips as she reflected on the ups and downs of her life. She asked her older sister, who had led her down this path of no return, a question in a low voice.

"What did you do before?"

"Me..."

After thinking for a moment, Ai Lei skillfully tucked several fully loaded magazines into her waistband and answered earnestly.

"……volunteer."

Rin Tohsaka rolled her eyes as she watched the "volunteer" stuff a few more grenades into her backpack, clearly not believing it.

However, what she didn't know was that Ellie wasn't lying.

She really was a volunteer, and also a member of the League of Nations' legitimate organization.

As the goddess of Mesopotamia, Ereshkigal naturally chose Mesopotamia as her first stop for sightseeing after gradually awakening.

However, those places are now called the Middle East.

In order to successfully cross the border and reach her divine realm, Ai Lei passed numerous tests and became a member of the National League organization. As a volunteer, she worked as a system management technician in a medical group in West Asia and successfully smuggled herself into the country.

Later, due to armed conflict and regional coups, this goddess joined a resistance organization by chance. She once carried an AK and fought against various local armed groups on the battlefield.

Even today, the legend of this goddess of war still circulates in the Middle East.

A moment later, the two, having made their preparations, under the cover of night, crossed the rooftops of several buildings and quietly landed at the back entrance of the Fuyuki City Stadium, carefully slipping inside.

"Buzz!"

However, the moment the two walked through the corridor and stepped into the empty and quiet stadium under the moonlight, patterns of light appeared on the dome, and a golden light curtain descended, enveloping the entire Fuyuki City Grand Stadium.

At the same time, accompanied by the crisp sound of a switch being pressed, the surrounding lights turned on one after another, illuminating the entire venue as if it were daytime.

Instantly, Ereshkigal and Rin Tohsaka, dressed as ruthless bandits in the center of the arena, became the focus of many gazes.

At this moment, a few figures were scattered in the audience seats on both sides.

At the far left of the seating area, Anastasia, dressed in a pristine white dress, sat quietly in a corner of the upper level, holding her fairy puppet. In the shadows, a female secretary in office attire could be faintly seen leaning against the railing.

In the center, Irisviel and Artoria, dressed in a white dress and a red gown respectively, sat side by side.

At the very bottom are the designated seal executor, Bazett, and her servant, Scáthach.

On the right side of the stands, the male side was seated.

A handsome young man dressed in a star-patterned suit, Marisbury, the monarch of the Celestial Science.

Tokiomi Tohsaka, a gacha player with European heritage, is a local strongman in Fuyuki City.

And the greenhorn Webber Velvet, who nervously observes from time to time beside a certain red-haired, muscular man.

Compared to the female side, the Servants beside the male Masters only show a few outlines, and even basic values ​​such as gender and height are difficult to distinguish.

Of course, this only applies to the two more professional magicians, Maris Billy and Tokiomi Tohsaka.

The red-haired, muscular man beside young Waver seemed completely unconcerned about exposing his appearance and physique. He even joked with his Master, who was in a rather bad mood, discussing the differences between the competitions at the Fuyuki City Gymnasium and the events of the ancient Greek Olympic Games.
