Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: New Master! Humans, how ugly!

["So I'm going to escape for now."

Gilgamesh looked into the distance unhappily, his voice filled with anger, "...Then let's continue our banquet after we've slain these rebels."

"No, Gil, as a king, how can you show such displeasure?"

"Are you, who is now intent on escaping, going to lecture me on the way of a king?"]

[ Doflamingo: "Oh, it seems the newcomer is not a small fry."]

[ Luffy: "Eh? What do you mean?"]

[ Hidan: "Idiot, if it were some trash, wouldn't he just erase them with a flick of his hand?"]

[ Saten Ruiko: "Although I don't know the level of other Servants, didn't Mr. Merlin say before that King Gilgamesh is a top-tier Servant? Does that mean the newcomer might also be of that caliber?"]

[ Tohsaka Tokiomi: "No! Absolutely impossible! With a King's dear friend, and then the King himself, a Holy Grail War having two extraordinary existences already exceeds the concept of a Holy Grail War. How could another extraordinary Servant appear now?"]

[ Dr. Roman: "That's right, this is just a Holy Grail War, not an Subjugation of some human evil or anything. Another one would be too luxurious."]

[ Meli: "Hehe, is that really true ~ Romani, have you watched too many of magical girl meli-chan's livestreams, and your brain has gone bad ~?"]

[ Kakashi: "Perhaps he's out of magic? After all, he used a big move, so he should be in a weakened state, right?"]

[ Might Guy: "Kakashi has special experience in this area, so that should be correct!"]

[ Kayneth: "It seems to be the case, but something feels off."]

...Fate World

Many Magicians, regarding Enkidu's choice to flee, also tended to believe that he had run out of magic.

After all, for two people to wage such a grand holy war, the amount of magic involved was unimaginable to them. If it were them, they would probably be drained in an instant.

No... perhaps they wouldn't even have the magic to sustain the activation of a Noble Phantasm; every move could drain them dry.

But little did they know… "Hmph," Touko Aozaki, with her orange short hair and green dress, a beautiful mature woman, let out a cold laugh.

"A bunch of fools."

How could the battle between those two have used even a speck of the Master's magical energy, let alone run out of it?

One comes with a Holy Grail, and the other is the Earth itself, capable of directly converting the counter force into magical energy.

Too many things in the battle between two monsters defy the common sense of the world of mages... In the Tiga World.

"If only this world also had Heroic Spirits," Daigo's eyes flickered, his heart feeling heavy.

If there really were such powerful Heroic Spirits, perhaps he wouldn't have to stand up as Ultraman, would he?

Daigo reached for the Spark Lens in his embrace, his heart filled with confusion.

Do humans truly need Ultraman?

...in the myriad worlds.

Everyone couldn't help but ponder, the battle between Gilgamesh and Enkidu had reached such a terrifying level, who would dare to disturb their fight?

Could there really be someone foolish enough to seek death?

[This—how beautiful it is.

On the deserted street, the girl stared blankly at the towering buildings before her. In this concrete jungle, the girl was so tiny.

The city's high-rises stood like towering giants, showcasing the city's rise and prosperity to the world.

An indescribable sense of awe shook the girl's heart.

But what was puzzling was that despite being in the very center of a crossroads, there was no trace of any human besides her.

The young girl didn't notice this. She sat on the ground, somewhat tired, tears falling, apologizing uncontrollably.

"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I couldn't do well."]

[Agatsuma Zenitsu: "What's going on? Was this child abandoned? Why is she apologizing?"]

[Accelerator: "Hasn't she noticed something is wrong yet? A city with this level of prosperity couldn't possibly have no one. So there are only two possibilities."]

[Last Order: "Misaka Misaka says, the two possibilities are that humans have already gone extinct except for this girl, and the other possibility is that this is this girl's mental world!"]

[Vice Admiral Tsuru: "The possibility of a mental world is very high. After all, this child appeared in the video before, and she was even in the downtown area next to the desert."]

[Uzumaki Naruto: "Then what does this mean? I don't understand."]

[Jogo: "If you don't understand, just keep watching. Stop talking nonsense, kid."]

...[The scene shifts.]

[Snowfield City Central Hospital.

"Indeed, the possibility of your daughter regaining consciousness is really not very high," the female doctor said with a hint of heaviness, explaining to the girl's parents before her as she looked at the report in her hand.

"Counting today, our daughter has been hospitalized for a year. Do you mean her condition is worsening?" the girl's father asked anxiously.

"No, there's no significant physical deterioration. It's just regarding regaining consciousness. Although the bacteria don't appear to have mutated, they might affect brain activity in the future," the female doctor said, trying to soften the blow as much as possible.

She even gave examples to reassure the parents not to worry too much.

"Never mind our daughter's consciousness, will her reproductive function be affected?" the girl's father suddenly asked.

"...Huh?" The female doctor was momentarily stunned. Consciousness… never mind?

"The lesion is only in the brain; other organs show no abnormalities," the female doctor said, still dazed.

Visible expressions of joy bloomed on the faces of the girl's parents.

"That's it! If that's the case, then it's wonderful!"

"We will continue to pay the hospitalization fees. Doctor, thank you very much!" Saying this, the parents, without even seeing their daughter who had been in a coma for a year, left happily.

"Really… What's wrong with that couple?" After the two left, the female doctor went to the ward, unable to help but complain, "Should I suggest they see a psychiatrist next time?"

Gently pushing open the door, the female doctor looked at the girl on the bed, as lovely and delicate as a flower, yet so fragile. Pity rose in her heart.

A year ago, this girl named Kyuukyuu Tsubaki, who had fallen into a coma, was sent to the hospital by her parents.

The examination results showed the presence of a lesion in the girl's body, especially near the brain. It was confirmed to be caused by an unknown bacterium.

However, an investigation yielded something unbelievable.

This bacterium was not contagious, so theoretically, it should not have been able to erode the girl's body, but the fact was that the girl had been in a coma because of it for a year.

"I will definitely cure you," the female doctor pulled the blanket up for the girl, but the next moment, a shiver ran down her spine, and at the same time, a blood-red pattern appeared on the back of the girl's hand!]

[Enju Aihara: "What is this? So strange. Are all parents like this, Rentaro?"]

[Rentaro Satomi: "…No… I don't know either."]

[Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Wait, this girl also has command spells?!"]

[Aizen: "I think I already know the answer."]

[Lev: "Humans, what ugly creatures—"]

Fourth Holy Grail War Era.

Matou Family.

"No, this old man is absolutely not mistaken," Zouken Matou narrowed his eyes, his dark pupils radiating decay.

Although very faint, he still detected it—the unique scent of their Matou Family's Crest Worms!

The command spells on the back of that girl's hand also confirmed that she was one of the participants in this Holy Grail War.

However, what puzzled Zouken Matou was, if the Holy Grail War was hundreds of years later, how could Snowfield City, tens of thousands of kilometers from Fuyuki, cross time and space to establish a connection with his Matou Family?

Also, since it was a Crest Worm, why did it feel so unfamiliar to him?
