The crescent moon hangs high, and the cold wind of early spring flows out from the lush forests on both sides of the road. The pale light of the street lamps shines down, covering the asphalt road with a layer of frost and snow.
At the foot of the hillside of the church, the atmosphere was solemn, and two figures like gods and demons, one gold and one silver, were confronting each other.
The power of the gods is like a prison, the magic power is boiling like the sea, and the squeezed air seems to have solidified. The power of the two is as strong as two sharp swords that are about to pierce the sky!
The first meeting was far from pleasant, it was a tense situation.
"Gilgamesh, do you know who Archer is?"
Hearing the words "So it's you", Ren, who was slowly approaching from a distance, didn't react at all, but Father Mapo retreated and asked.
"I don't know his identity, but ten years ago, I saw his holy relics at Tokiomi's in Tosaka."
Jin Shining narrowed her bright red vertical pupils and kept examining Archer.
Blonde, blue-eyed, slender, handsome, with a cold light flowing on the exquisite silver armor in a classical style.
Appearance is secondary. The most mysterious thing is that he is shrouded in a fog, full of unknowns and uncertainties, which even interferes with his observation and perception.
He had a hunch that even if he activated the Noble Phantasm "Omniscient and Omnipotent Star", he would not be able to discern all of Archer's essence.
Of course, his majestic aura, majestic killing intent, and astonishing magic power fluctuations like a volcanic eruption made the King of Heroes feel a rare sense of pressure.
An eternal enemy.
It’s hard to say that victory is inevitable.
Thinking back to the threat and pressure Enkidu had given him when they first met in the wilderness, it was nothing more than that.
Therefore, it was rare for Jin Shining to have no waves and he immediately put on his armor to avoid capsizing in the gutter.
"Is it that blade fragment? I see, it's normal for Rin to use it to summon a Servant. Do you have any guesses about his identity?"
Kotomine Kirei apparently also thought of the sword fragment that Tokiomi collected.
He knew that ten years ago, Tokiomi Tosaka almost wanted to use it to summon Saber, but at the last moment he obtained the shed skin of the first snake in ancient times from the Mesopotamia...
"No, there is no need. This guy is very annoying to me and I will kill him with my own hands."
The King of Heroes' blood-red pupils were filled with murderous intent, and he made no secret of his disgust for Archer, even though the opponent was incredibly powerful.
Although Gilgamesh was originally arrogant, he also had the most basic respect for the top heroic spirits. If the "Sun King" La Er or the "Little Sun" Karna were here at this moment, he would at least receive certain courtesy.
But Renn is not among them.
Although he is strong enough, who calls him a Faker?
Although his core essence will not be exposed, the blade fragment as a holy relic cannot conceal his aura.
At this moment, Ren released the "Aura Blocking", and the aura of the same source could still let Jin Shining know that he was the owner of the blade fragment, and that he was a servant with the aura of a low-quality fake.
Mr. Jin naturally hates counterfeit goods.
While the two people were discussing, Renn had already walked a hundred meters away from them, with a bright smile on his face:
"Oh, what did I see? A scumbag, cough...isn't this the Hero King Gilgamesh? Instead of hiding in the dark and being a coward, he finally dared to jump out?"
The old rule is, make fun of someone when you meet them, no need to be polite.
The experience of the last four battles made him understand that he and A Shen had nothing in common, let alone being friends.
"Hmph, Archer, you sound very arrogant!"
The King of Heroes snorted coldly, with a cruel smile on his handsome face:
"Also, you damn Faker, I can smell that disgusting smell from a long distance away. It's very uncomfortable. I really want to tear you into pieces!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were wisps of cold light among hundreds of golden vortexes behind him.
There were ripples in that space, scimitars, swords, spears, Fangtian painted halberds...pieces of crystal-clear treasures extended out from the vortex, aiming at Archer!
Surrounded by the brilliance of hundreds of noble phantoms, the Hero King's figure was as unattainable as a god. The red snake-eyed eyes stared at him, mixed with a violent killing intent.
powerful,
Xuan He,
unbeatable!
Being targeted by hundreds of Noble Phantasms, and being glared at by the Hero King's bloody eyes filled with cold murderous intent, the weaker servants, such as Hundred-faced Hassan, are probably trembling physically and mentally at this moment, and are unable to resist.
courage.
However, this level of power and intimidation was just a breeze blowing in his face to Ren.
This small scene is not worth mentioning. Mr. Jin threw a total of tens of thousands of Noble Phantasms at him last time, and he was even hit by the Ea Sword several times.
Although the victory was won in the end with the help of the Great Holy Grail, Rune Formation, and Saber, the opponent was defeated by him anyway, so how could he give in to him?
The cold light flowed on the silver armor, and Ren was not afraid and sneered:
"Faker? So what, it's better than a piece of trash like you who relies on squeezing the magic power from a group of orphans to survive, right?
You have the nerve to talk about me, Gilgamesh, I can smell the smell of scum on you even from a distance!"
A merciless slap in the face without giving the other party any face.
During the Fourth Holy Grail War, he and Jin Shining were also at odds with each other.
But he was not so sharp and fierce in his words.
Because before he was showered with black mud in the Holy Grail and gained a physical body, Gilgamesh was not a good person, but he was not particularly disdainful or did many evil things.
At that time, Ren and he only had opposing positions and different ideas, but there was no personal love or disgust mixed with them.
But at this time, he didn't have a good impression of him at all.
Within the unique vision of the "Eye of Deception", a trace of vitality and magic power were transmitted from the basement of Fuyuki Church to the body of the King of Heroes through a certain ritual.
Along with the magic power came a lot of resentment, which turned into a twisted and pale face, lingering around him!
Hearing Archer's mocking words, Jin Shining frowned and subconsciously glanced back at Kotomine Kirei behind him.
"It seems that he has been to the basement of the church."
Father Mapo's expression changed slightly. Ten years ago, after the Fourth Holy Grail War, he and the King of Heroes came to an agreement.
The two continued their partnership. He took in the orphans who had lost their parents in the fire, cut off their hands and feet and imprisoned them in coffins in the church basement. They served as a "human battery" to provide Gilgamesh with the magic power needed for his activities, and waited.
The Fifth Holy Grail War...
"Gilgamesh, you must kill him!"
Staring at Archer, Father Mapo's face turned cold.
Once this matter is exposed, he will no longer be able to hang out in Fuyuki City. The Holy Church will never tolerate him continuing to be a supervisor, and will even send people to kill him.
"So what? Ridiculous, Archer, are you blaming me?"
His evil deeds were exposed, and when faced with Ren's questioning, the King of Heroes showed no guilt and acted as if it were natural.
This kind of behavior amazed Renn.
The powerful, majestic, and handsome King of Heroes, the archer Gilgamesh, has been colluding with Kotomine Kirei since his incarnation, using these "human flesh batteries" - the orphans who survived the fire - as bait.
Food continues one's great life.
Moreover, Gilgamesh never once expressed his dissatisfaction with this crazy behavior during these long ten years.
He has never resisted this despicable behavior like that dirty old bug of Matou Zangyan, who relies on blood-sucking and "eating people" to prolong his life, and is so slutty and without any imperial demeanor.
"Damn it, I admire you, Gilgamesh, in terms of shamelessness, I, Uchiha Ren, am willing to call you the strongest!"
Master Ren bowed his hand to Mr. Jin and could not say any other words except to express his admiration.
Perhaps out of concern for his strength, Jin Shiningshaan still explained: Although there was anger and murderous intent in his eyes:
"Archer, I don't know who you are, but it's ridiculous that you, with such great power, are still stuck to the values of ordinary mortals. It's really ridiculous.
A strong man, a king, should be a being who sets laws and rules for all people, instead of being like a frog at the bottom of a well, bound by vulgar values of good and evil.
Both good and evil should be treated equally and condemned."
It makes so much sense, these second words... no, these words are full of philosophical charm, I almost believed it.
Master Ren said it was an eye-opener, shrugged and continued to ask:
"Oh, I remember that you didn't like children very much when you were alive? As a great person, can you explain why your ideas changed so quickly, and you were able to ignore the wailings and resentments of those orphans and enjoy them shamelessly in ten years?
The magic provided?”
He was quite curious. Didn't he say that Mr. Jin likes children?
Those orphans who lost their parents in the fire are actually about the same age as Shirou. They have been a group of children for ten years. Logically speaking, Shining should not treat them so cruelly.
"This is different!"
Crossing his arms and staring at the madman in front of him, Jin Shining naturally heard his sarcasm and sneered:
"In the past, under my king's rule, even slaves had their existence value...
But now, most of the people in society are moths and superfluous things. The world is filled with meaningless and worthless modern humans.
Adults are worthless, and so are children... It is their honor to be able to provide my king with magic power to gain the meaning of existence!"
These anti-social and terrorist remarks made Renn's mouth twitch:
"I understand. Actually, there is no need to talk so much. You can just say that they are not the children of Uruk!"
Jin Shining was stunned for a moment, but did not refute. If those were the children of Uruk, of course he would not do this.
To be honest, Renn was not surprised by his argument.
He expected that Mr. Jin would think of using the black mud from the Holy Grail to wash the ground and test it for all mankind.
And for Gilgamesh, life is just a matter of "die now" or "sooner or later".
If he is judged as a "deserving person", even a sage or hero in the eyes of the world will be ruthlessly obliterated.
Shining only regards his own standards as absolute. Whether it is a wise decision as the truth of the universe, or a tyranny when he is drunk and unconscious, it is the king's ruling, which is not bound by secular concepts and cannot be questioned.
"last question."
Therefore, Renn did not talk about what happened before, but instead asked, "It is said that the criterion for you to kill someone is that the other person's soul is ugly or he is your enemy, right?"
"It seems that you understand me quite well." Shining looked at him with a slightly surprised expression and nodded.
Who rarely knows you?
Ren complained in his mind, curled his lips, and pointed at Father Mapo who was quietly retreating:
"This scumbag, trash, should have an ugly soul, but you seem to like him quite a bit. Could it be that in your eyes, this kind of person's soul is fragrant?
Not to mention that by your standards, he is a good person, that will only make people laugh. Even Uruk doesn’t have this new breed of humans, right?"
"Hmph, of course his soul is evil and twisted, but to me, he is a little unknown.
I am very interested and look forward to his development and what he will become in the end."
An evil smile appeared on Jin Shining's face, and he didn't care about Kirei's presence. He admitted that Father Mapo was an unknown existence or concept to him and he wanted to study it and observe it.
Maybe he's tired of it, or maybe after he's judged that he's thoroughly studied it, he'll abandon it like a pair of worn-out shoes.
"Oh I got it."
Master Renn expressed his understanding, and then he laughed uproariously in the surprised eyes of Jin Shining and Father Mapo, his laughter was particularly unrestrained and cheerful:
"Hahahaha, ahhahahaha...
Gilgamesh, although to me, these are just cerebral palsy remarks, anti-social theories about mental retardation, and the late stage of Chuunibyou disease cannot be cured, but in view of your serious answer, it really made me laugh-"
He suppressed his laughter and was about to add something, but Mr. Jin's face turned dark.
He even said that he had cerebral palsy and was mentally retarded. Mr. Jin's nose almost became angry.
Ren added fuel to the fire, hooked his hand, and continued provocatively:
"──Come on, to give you face, I'll let you take action first!"
So arrogant!
Knowing that he would definitely not be able to take it down in a short time, the King of Heroes resisted the urge to kill this guy. Veins were pulsing on his forehead, and a cruel smile appeared on his handsome face.
His blood pupils stood up, he held it back and did not make a move, but said:
"Archer, I will definitely cut you into pieces later!
But before that, I also want to ask, don’t you hate Kirei and my behavior? But I can feel that there is not much anger in your heart at the moment... Don’t you want to stand up for those children? "
To him, Archer is weird, full of mystery, an unknown existence, and powerful enough.
That's why he had a little interest in exploring, otherwise he would have just started doing it before and wouldn't have wasted time saying anything.
Renn grinned when he heard this:
"Yes, in my eyes, you two are scum and non-recyclable garbage, but that doesn't mean that I will stand on the moral high ground and destroy you on behalf of the moon... ahem, on behalf of justice."
"Oh why?"
Jin Shining had a dark face, but her eyes looked at him with interest.
Although the opponent is a Faker, there is no doubt about his strength.
For him, it is rare to have a guy with the same level of strength as him to communicate with, so he has a lot more patience.
Otherwise, if he were like Bai Mian, let alone mocking him, he would kill him on the spot if he even took one more look at him.
Ren opened his arms, bathed in the light of the stars and the moon, and his eyes turned into pure white silver eyes. The magic power in his body continued to surge, flow, and release... just like a dormant volcano about to erupt, terrifying
The momentum makes people feel like facing a doomsday natural disaster!
He fully displayed his terrifying power and vast magic power.
Now, he no longer needs to worry about anyone.
Looking at Jin Shining, whose face opposite him changed slightly, the corners of Ren's mouth curved up, revealing a wanton and fierce smile:
"Actually, compared to being a hero, a good person, upholding justice and fighting injustice... I prefer the simple and crude way!
For example, I feel unhappy with you.
Another example: I think I am the strongest and a killer of servants. I will lose in a fight. That means I am not serious. As long as I am serious, I will be an unbeatable butcher of creatures. What kind of "King of Heroes" Gilgamesh?
The hero Karna and the "Sun King" Ramesses II all had to step aside!
Don't ask why, just ask that I am the mushroom's father.
Now I declare that I, the Celestial Copycat King, am the strongest among the followers and specialize in dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction. Anyone who is dissatisfied can come and beat me!"
These words were sonorous and powerful, echoing far away, making Father Mapo a bit dumbfounded.
Mushroom’s father, he has no idea who the “King of Copycats” in China is. He only knows that these words are extremely arrogant.
Any servant who is a bit arrogant cannot bear it.
Kirei subconsciously turned his gaze to the King of Heroes, wanting to know how he would react as he was always arrogant and thought he was invincible.
fury?
Get angry, fall out?
No, Jin Shining had a bit of shock on his face, and he didn’t know the meaning of some words, but this didn’t stop him──
─ "Hahahaha, hahahahaha..."
Jin Shining couldn't hold himself any longer. Instead of being furious, he was laughing so hard.
He stretched out his hand to cover his stomach, laughing so hard that his abdominal muscles almost cramped.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't completely ridiculing. He was amused because the other party was actually more arrogant and unscrupulous than him. Of course, Archer also expressed some of his inner thoughts.
"Archer, very good. I haven't smiled so happily for a long time."
Mr. Jin suppressed his smile and stood up again. His blood-red pupils looked at him up and down, as if he was looking at some precious animal.
"Interesting. Although I can't understand everything you said, I know that you have some intention of mocking me, but it's true. I really think that I am invincible."
He smiled proudly and completely released the breath of the servant who stood at the top of the heroic spirit.
Surrounded by hundreds of shining treasures, abundant magic power flows on the surface of the body, and the golden armor exudes a dazzling light, making him look as high-spirited as a god!
Taking a step forward, Jin Shining reached out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Archer:
"Then, the Holy Swordsman of the Stars, the Lord of Arms, the nameless heroic spirit who has never left a name in human history, the unknown Knight of the Round Table... Let's do it, I will definitely punish you, this daring madman!"
When he just laughed, he couldn't help but use the "Omniscient and Omnipotent Star", but it failed to exert its full effect.
But at least, through this precious phantom, Jin Shining knew the "legal identity" that the system had registered for Renn with Alaya.
