"Gilgamesh, someone has broken in..."
Kirei Kotomine suddenly burst in, and then he saw two golden figures, one big and one small, staring at each other in the room.
For a moment, Kirei Kotomine was completely baffled.
Is...am I seeing things?
Kirei Kotomine, having been Gilgamesh's best friend for ten years, naturally recognized the young Gilgamesh at a glance. True to his reputation, Kirei straightened his clothes and stepped forward respectfully, saying...
"So it's another Hero King..."
"Don't talk back. Don't think that just because this guy appreciates you, I'll approve of you! Someone like you would have been torn to pieces in my time."
Young Gilgamesh made no attempt to hide his contempt for Kirei Kotomine.
Indeed, this is true. Apart from A-rank Gilgamesh, both the Wise King Gilgamesh and the Young Gilgamesh have little affection for Kirei Kotomine.
In FGO 2.(ACFF) 7, Kirei Kotomine (Lapskin) had just joined Gudako's faction when Gilgamesh, the Wise King, directly called Gudako from across time and space to remind her. Upon meeting, Gilgamesh didn't hold back in mocking Kirei Kotomine.
"Guda! Quick! Cut this guy's head off right now! Remember, a man with this face will definitely betray you, and he'll make everything disappear at the most crucial moment!"
It should be noted that King Shanshan is already considered to have a good temper and rarely curses people as monstrous cultivators, yet he still fiercely criticized Kirei Kotomine, which clearly shows his distrust.
At this moment, Kirei Kotomine was helpless after being rebuked by the young Gilgamesh. No, I became like this because of you!
I once wanted to be a good person, but who made me realize this?
Thinking of this, Kirei Kotomine glanced at Gilgamesh to the side before taking a deep breath and saying...
"Indeed, compared to the immature you when you were a child, I still prefer the you who is now, who is unrestrained and evades taxes with me."
Hearing Kirei Kotomine say that, Gilgamesh rolled his eyes at him and said...
"Shut up, he really will kill you!"
No one knows you better than yourself. As a child, you seemed innocent and adorable, but underneath, your heart was darker than anyone else's! After saying this, Gilgamesh looked at young Gilgamesh once more.
"Wait? Something's wrong with you. What's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, Gilgamesh realized something was wrong. He activated his Omniscient Star ability and began scrutinizing the young Gilgamesh from head to toe. His gaze sent chills down the young Gilgamesh's spine…
Why...why are you looking at me like that?
Gilgamesh: "What are you doing! Half of our Spirit Origins are gone! A large portion of the Royal Treasury is missing! Ea is nowhere to be found! Most importantly! Where is Enkidu (Chains of Heaven)?! Where have you thrown our friends?!"
"Me!! Me!!" Young Shanshan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart and couldn't utter a single word.
Everything else is fine, but the fact that he lost the Chains of Heaven makes him so ashamed to face Gilgamesh!
But Gilgamesh was clearly not going to be fooled by the young Gilgamesh. He continued to scrutinize him with his All-Knowing Star ability and immediately learned the whole story!
"Heroic Spirit Class Card! Holy Grail War! And you've gotten yourself into this mess because of this! Plus, you got beaten up by that Lin Ye guy! I swear!!! Kirei Kotomine, don't stop me! I'll kill this disgraceful guy today!!!"
Kirei Kotomine, watching the spectacle unfold...
When did I ever try to stop you?! If you want to kill me, then kill me! Why are you pulling me along?!
Oh well, what can I do when they're my own servant? I'll just have to spoil them.
"Fine, let's give him a way out."
Chapter 331 Shinji Matou's Misfortune
Seeing the furious Gilgamesh, Kirei Kotomine quickly pulled him aside and said...
"Don't be angry, Gilgamesh. If it's taken away, just take it back, right?"
"Huh? Take it back? Isn't that obvious! As a king, of course I have to take it back if some bastard steals it. The point is! You're not even going to steal it, and you're just here to join in the fun. If you weren't me, I'd really like to hang you up with the Heavenly Lock and give you a good beating."
Gilgamesh looked at the young Gilgamesh in front of him with disappointment, but still couldn't bring himself to do it. After all, even if Gilgamesh was ruthless, he was still a little soft on himself.
And the young Gilgamesh, looking at the golden Gilgamesh in front of him, finally broke free from his embarrassment.
"Ahem, alright, alright. I'll teach them a lesson when I run into them next time. As for now... let me ask you, you're not still planning to fight Lin Ye for the Holy Grail, are you?"
"What's wrong? Isn't it possible?"
Young Shiny: "No, it's just that I can almost picture him hanging you up and beating you again."
Golden and sparkly...
"Sigh~" Jin Shanshan suddenly sighed. He thought of the scene ten years ago when Lin Ye beat him up and drew turtles on his face.
That is a pain that will forever remain in my heart.
Ten years... This shadow haunted Gilgamesh, making him crave turtle soup every time he saw a turtle. But he couldn't do anything about Lin Ye.
His own strength had plateaued with little room for improvement, but Lin Ye was still alive; he had an unlimited future. Gilgamesh's All-Knowing, All-Powerful Star couldn't see through Lin Ye, but he could tell from Lin Ye's kick that the guy's strength was definitely improving.
Thinking of this, Gilgamesh could only sigh:
"Sigh... When will I ever get my revenge on this bastard?"
“Actually, it’s not like there’s no chance.” At this moment, You Shanshan’s voice suddenly rang out. “A single chopstick can be broken easily, but a pair of chopsticks isn’t so easy to break.”
Young Gilgamesh also wanted to beat Lin Ye up. It had nothing to do with anything else; he simply wanted to win against Lin Ye, because regardless of age, Gilgamesh's petty nature remained unchanged.
In the original FGO timeline, Gilgamesh, having seen through everything after the elixir of immortality was eaten by a snake, gracefully left to become a wise king. However, he later became increasingly angry and shouted...
"I'm the kind of man who overturns past failures and starts over!"
Then he took another portion of the elixir of immortality and put it into the King's Treasury.
At this moment, the two guys, one big and one small, who couldn't stand each other, strangely reached a consensus. Although they hit it off immediately, their hands were tightly clasped in mid-air.
Their confidence had reached its peak at this moment!
Only Ma Po silently took two chopsticks from the kitchen and then forcefully...
Click!
Ma Po quickly threw down the four chopsticks in her hand and said, "Forget it, let's have pizza today."
Let's try to keep them away from chopsticks and such for now.
Meanwhile, in the basement of the Matou residence...
"Grandpa, what do you want? I was just about to take Rider to find some unlucky guys to replenish our magic."
The harmless Shinji Matou approached Zouken Matou. Given his level of magic, he naturally had no idea what kind of battle had taken place that day.
Looking at the relaxed Matou Shinji, Matou Zouken said with exasperation, "You're such a disappointment!"
"Don't waste your time. How much magic can ordinary people's blood have? You'd be better off relying on yourself!"
Zouken Matou panicked; he was truly panicked. He wouldn't have been so anxious when the Holy Grail was already corrupted, but now, a clean Holy Grail lay before him!
His chance for immortality was right in front of him!
But after witnessing the battle between Lin Ye and Hercules through magic today, he suddenly lost much of his confidence.
The evils of this world were packed up by Lin Ye and thrown into the imaginary world, where they were probably swallowed up by Tiamat's Sea of Life long ago.
After all, no matter how powerful the evil in this world is, it is still a level below human evil.
Therefore, it's impossible for the old bug to create a Sakura like in the HF route, which is why he didn't go looking for Sakura again later.
At that moment, the old insect grabbed Shinji Matou's shoulder and said...
"Shinji, do you... want to become a magician?"
"Ah? Yes! Of course I want to, Grandpa!" Shinji Matou shouted excitedly. "You don't know, Grandpa, at school, Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Tohsaka actually dared to reject my advances! Especially Rin Tohsaka, she didn't even look at me properly! I must become a stronger magician than them! Then, let's see if they dare to oppose me!"
0 ··Requesting flowers····· ·····
"Hahaha! Good!!!" The old worm laughed. As long as there's desire, as long as there's ambition. "This...you said it yourself!"
After saying that, the old insect suddenly pushed Shinji Matou, and Shinji Matou fell directly into the insect hole!
"Ah!!! Grandpa! What are you doing!!!"
Shinji Matou shouted, but all he received in return was Zouken Matou's cold and unpleasant laughter.
"Hehe, didn't you want to become a magician? Grandpa is helping you."
..... .. .......
Wow!
Countless insects surged forth from all directions! These insects all crawled toward Shinji Matou!
The next second, all that could be heard in the entire Matou household was Shinji Matou's screams!
"No!! Grandpa! I'm not going to be a magician anymore! No!! Ah!! Ah!! Grandpa!! Help!...! Help...!"
Shinji Matou was crying out in despair, but sadly, no one would save him now. Kariya Matou, the only conscience of the Matou family, had left Fuyuki City after the last Holy Grail War and never returned, so… Shinji Matou's fate was sealed.
Looking at Shinji Matou in the insect cave, Zouken Matou glanced at Medusa to the side.
As Medusa's aura grew stronger, he smiled.
As we all know, the strength of a servant is directly proportional to the strength of a master, and of course, it cannot exceed the upper limit.
Originally, when Shinji Matou was her master, her attribute was...
