"It's a pity, really~"
A familiar voice came from the left. Before Mihawk could turn his head, he felt a weight on his shoulder, and an arm came over. Then, a touch of vibrant red drifted into his field of vision.
"Why don't you compete with me! I'm also a little interested in wrestling."
Mihawk glanced at the very familiar, silly face and didn't speak, responding coldly, "I refuse."
With that, he strode forward.
"Eh~" Suddenly losing support, Shanks stumbled, then chased after Mihawk and persuaded him, "Don't be so boring, Mihawk."
"Go find your crew, and stop bothering me," Mihawk said coldly.
"Aiya~ Don't say that!" Shanks was not one to give up easily.
Mihawk didn't bother to respond, ignoring Shanks who was chattering incessantly nearby. Moria and the others accompanying them didn't even have a chance to speak, as Shanks did all the talking.
However, Shanks's persuasion did nothing to sway Mihawk's resolve, instead making him even more determined not to participate in the wrestling event.
Boom!
A sudden, violent tremor caught everyone's attention, and they all turned to look at its source.
In the deep darkness of the night, a giant beast, almost blending into the shadows and the size of a mountain, stood quietly near the Eridu Temple, its glowing eyes gazing down at the open space in front of the temple.
"Do you think… Godzilla is participating in the competition?" Mihawk asked Shanks, turning his gaze away.
After a moment of silence, Shanks said, "...I'll go ask Boss Mu about it."
The fact that a monster would participate in a wrestling tournament was truly beyond his expectations.
Faced with a monster weighing hundreds of tons, more than half of the members were at a loss. But upon further reflection, Boss Mu might have already made arrangements.
Besides Shanks, others had also thought of this problem and felt a little flustered. They sent messages to Boss Mu to inquire.
At the same time, those who didn't recognize Godzilla looked puzzled...
"Is that a monster?"
Genos looked up at Godzilla, his electronic eyes blinking continuously.
King analyzed it seriously for a moment and said, "Most likely... no. Where would monsters from another world come from? Of course, it's not impossible that a monster obtained 'member' qualifications."
Saitama: "......"
After a few seconds of silence, Saitama stopped someone nearby and asked for information about Godzilla.
"That's Godzilla..."
The person didn't know much about Godzilla either, and simply introduced the creature.
"Not an enemy!" Saitama slowly unclenched his fist. King and Genos also stopped paying attention to Godzilla.
At the same time, Quetzalcoatl, who was about to kick Godzilla, was stopped by someone.
Godzilla: "Awooo~~~"
For some reason, it felt like it had escaped a disaster!
On the other side, Mu Yang sat on the stone steps of the temple, looking up at Godzilla.
"It...isn't it going to participate in a wrestling match? Are we adding a monster group?"
Thinking for a moment, Mu Yang muttered to himself, "No rush, let's see how things go first. If there are a lot of large lifeforms wanting to participate in the wrestling tournament, we'll divide them into two groups: one for normal-sized ones and one for giant-sized ones…"
With that thought, Mu Yang looked at those asking about the wrestling tournament and replied to each one.
When he said he replied to each one, the words were actually the same.
"It depends on the situation…"
Shanks's face twitched. "What does Boss Mu mean? I have a bad feeling about this…"
"Good luck."
Mihawk's lips curled into a smile, a hint of schadenfreude in his expression.
Shanks: "..." Mihawk, your tone is full of malice!
......
At the same time, Izayoi and Kuro Usagi, who had run into the ocean, also encountered a giant creature.
"What is that?"
Izayoi floated in the air, looking down at the dark ocean. His incredible vision allowed him to clearly see the giant creature lurking beneath the surface.
"It seems to be... a divine spirit!" Kuro Usagi said after observing carefully.
"Ho~ a divine spirit! I wonder how strong it is?" Izayoi said with great interest.
"Izayoi, get rid of your audacious thoughts!" Seeing Izayoi's expression, Kuro Usagi reflexively said.
"Alright, alright~ Don't worry, I won't do anything." Izayoi looked helpless. After some events, Kuro Usagi had become more easily alarmed.
"Let's get out of here," Kuro Usagi urged Izayoi, worried that the sleeping god in the sea might suddenly awaken.
"I'd like to, but..." Izayoi looked behind Kuro Usagi, at the stranger rapidly approaching, sensing the obvious killing intent and breaking into a radiant smile.
"...He doesn't look like he'll let us leave easily."
"Eh?" Kuro Usagi was startled and immediately turned to look behind her. A person quickly enlarged in her vision and arrived in the blink of an eye.
It was a man with long green hair that reached his waist, wearing a white robe, and possessing a handsome face.
He didn't seem to have any intention of talking, and immediately launched an attack upon seeing Izayoi and Kuro Usagi.
Golden ripples rippled in the air, and silver chains emerged from them, their tips tipped with sharp golden wedges.
"Ha—"
Izayoi didn't bother with explanations either, figuring they could talk after the fight.
Laughing heartily, he threw a punch, smashing the chains to pieces. The shattered chains scattered in all directions, and the surging force of the punch was as powerful as a gale, blowing the white robes and green hair wildly.
"A little fragile, aren't they!"
Izayoi sneered, launching himself at the enemy like an arrow loosed from a bow.
However, Izayoi's ability to fly came from a rather ordinary Gift, and his speed was only average, so the enemy easily dodged his attack.
"Tsk!"
Izayoi turned and threw a punch. The immense force compressed the air, creating a shockwave that sent the unnamed stranger flying. The stranger spun through the air for hundreds of meters before crashing into the sea. They skipped across the water's surface like a stone, traveling another few hundred meters before finally slamming into the ocean, sending up a spray of water dozens of meters high.
"Izayoi! Where are you aiming!?"
Hearing the booming sound of the waves, Kuro Usagi suspected Izayoi had done it on purpose, intending to wake up the gods sleeping in the sea.
Fortunately, that god in the sea seemed to be sleeping soundly and didn't wake up.
"I'll be more careful next time!"
Izayoi brushed him off with a casual response, showing no sincerity whatsoever.
"Next time..." Kuro Usagi stopped herself, grabbing Izayoi's collar and dragging him away. "You still want a next time? Come with me! You can't just start a fight whenever you feel like it! Is this a place for fighting?!"
Izayoi looked down at the sea, but didn't see the person he'd knocked into the water resurface, so he followed Kuro Usagi as they flew away.
After the two left, a person slowly surfaced from the water, looking in the direction they had gone. "Who are those two? Are they newly summoned Servants?"
He lowered his head, looking at the water. "Mother has already been discovered. I must accelerate the plan's progress..."
With that, he flew away from the area, disappearing without a trace.
The next day, early morning.
Uruk was bathed in the morning light, and the residents of the city were all at their posts, each fulfilling their duties. The entire city was like a machine that had restarted, resuming its operation.
Feeling somewhat sleepy, Ritsuka Fujimaru splashed cold water on his face. The remaining drowsiness was like a kite, and the wisps of coolness were like a knife cutting the kite string, making him completely awake.
"Phew~"
Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at his reflection in the water basin, then shifted his gaze and picked up a towel to dry his face.
After washing up, Ritsuka Fujimaru walked into the living room, where Merlin, Anna, Mash, and Fou were already seated at the dining table.
"Come and eat. After breakfast, we'll go see the King."
Seeing that Merlin didn't intend to explain what happened last night, Ritsuka Fujimaru didn't press for an explanation either; there was no rush.
After a simple breakfast, the group headed to the palace.
On the throne, Gilgamesh was propping up his face, toying with the Holy Grail.
"King, Sir Fujimaru's party has come to pay their respects," Siduri, standing to the right of the throne, announced.
The group walked up to the throne, and Ritsuka Fujimaru asked, "Did you call for us, King Gilgamesh?"
Gilgamesh was casual, his eyes narrowed as he spoke, "Of course, I called for you, Ritsuka Fujimaru."
As he spoke, he slowly opened his eyes, the hand holding the Holy Grail slowly lowered, placing it on the armrest of the throne. His ruby-like eyes focused on Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others.
Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others were delighted upon hearing this.
"The King just called Senior's name..." Mash said to Ritsuka Fujimaru, her face filled with surprise.
"Yeah," Ritsuka Fujimaru replied with a smile.
Gilgamesh's posture remained casual, "So what if the King called your name? If it's worth calling, I'll naturally call it. That's common sense."
"Isn't this great? The King acknowledges our achievements," Merlin said, placing a hand on Ritsuka Fujimaru's left shoulder.
"Is that so?" Ritsuka Fujimaru sounded hesitant, as if unsure.
"Though in this King's eyes, they're all tedious and boring tasks, you must be tired of those trivial chores as well."
When he was unsure, Gilgamesh spoke in a timely manner. He crossed his legs, and his words showed that he was paying attention to Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others, agreeing with Merlin's explanation. At the same time, he was expressing that you have passed my test, and a more important task needs you to complete.
"Then..." Ritsuka Fujimaru's face lit up with surprise.
Gilgamesh straightened his posture, raised his right arm forward, and spread his five fingers. The golden armguards rubbed against each other, making a sound: "This is a royal order personally issued by this King. You should feel honored, mongrel."
"Yes!"
Ignoring the last two words, Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash were full of energy.
Gilgamesh issued the task: "Go immediately to Uruk and investigate the situation there."
"Ur." Merlin frowned, immediately saying, "My King, please allow me to be frank, Ur's current situation is somewhat dire."
"Oh~" Gilgamesh tilted his head to look at Merlin. He knew Merlin possessed Clairvoyance, so he didn't doubt the truth of what he said.
"Tell me more."
"I can't. I didn't dare to look too closely." Merlin spread his hands.
Even with Clairvoyance, he wouldn't dare to pry!
Gilgamesh: "..." That was as good as saying nothing. What use were you?
The speechless expressions of everyone present were about to overflow from their eyes. Merlin hurriedly spoke of the information he had, attempting to salvage his image.
"There are more people there. I don't know how many exactly, nor do I know their strength."
Everyone: "..." That was as good as saying nothing.
They had originally hoped to salvage their image a bit, but now they had completely failed.
Gilgamesh tapped his right index finger, which was covered by a gauntlet, lightly on the armrest of the throne. The crisp sound drifted into their ears. Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others didn't interrupt Gilgamesh's thought.
After a while, Gilgamesh raised his head and said, "In that case, Ushiwakamaru will go with you on this trip. You must perform well to please me, you know."
"Yes."
Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others responded.
After the audience, the party walked along the passage towards the outside of the palace.
In the passage, illuminated by candlelight, Merlin walked in front and said softly, "The King is in a very good mood today. He even showed us the Holy Grail."
Hearing this, Ritsuka Fujimaru pinched his chin, deep in thought. "But I always feel like that Holy Grail..."
"You noticed it too, huh? That one is different from the Holy Grails you recovered in the first six Singularities," Merlin looked back at Ritsuka Fujimaru and said, "We'll have to wait for Doctor Roman's analysis to be sure, but I don't think we're wrong."
"So, the Holy Grail that formed this Singularity is something else?" Ritsuka Fujimaru asked.
Walking down the stairs, Merlin said, "I just don't know if that Holy Grail is in the hands of the 'Alliance of the Three Goddesses' or someone else's. It's definitely not the one King Gilgamesh has."
After a pause, Merlin speculated, "The Holy Grail might be in Ur... but maybe not..."
The abnormal situation in Ur might be caused by the Holy Grail, or it might be for other reasons.
"Sir Fujimaru!"
The group walked out of the palace and arrived at the wide square in front of the palace. Suddenly, a shout reached Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others' ears. Everyone stopped and looked in the direction of the voice, seeing Ushiwakamaru running towards them, waving her hand.
"Ushiwakamaru," Ritsuka Fujimaru said, surprised. That was fast!
"I've already heard from Lady Siduri, and I will do my best," Ushiwakamaru said solemnly.
"Yeah, let's do our best together," Ritsuka Fujimaru nodded.
Ushiwakamaru joined the team, and they followed the street back to their residence.
"We need to prepare before we set off, and bring enough food and water."
Under Merlin's instructions, the group brought plenty of food and water as they entered the wilderness.
Far from Uruk, the world was ruled by magical beasts, wandering aimlessly, birthed by the Magical Beast Mother Goddess.
In the wilderness, besides magical beasts, it was difficult to see any other creatures, perhaps they had all been killed by the magical beasts.
When Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others were discovered by the magical beasts, it was like dogs seeing bones. Magical beasts from all directions swarmed towards them.
Anna and Ushiwakamaru charged into the horde of magical beasts, wielding their blades to efficiently slaughter them. Merlin and Mash guarded Ritsuka Fujimaru's sides, eliminating the attacking magical beasts.
With the combined efforts of the four, the few magical beasts were quickly cleared away.
