『 Proto-Saber and Proto-Gilgamesh both focused their attention entirely on each other.
At the same time, a massive surge of magical energy erupted from both of their bodies.
HUM—!
Under the influence of their combined power, the entire space actually began to distort.
"Ayaka Sajyou's life has three days remaining."
Just as these words fell.
With a humming sound.
A powerful wave of magical energy immediately surged from Proto-Gilgamesh's body. In the next second, a burst of golden light flashed.
A small bottle emitting a bright glow appeared in his hand.
Looking at the small bottle in his hand, the corners of Proto-Gilgamesh's mouth couldn't help but curl upwards slightly.
"Although my Master's order was to let you all perish on your own…"
But as the oldest King of Heroes in the world, how could he possibly obediently listen to his Master's words like that!
Proto-Gilgamesh uttered words filled with incomparable provocation.
"If you want this, then come and take it." 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
Watching the commotion caused by the two of them, a trace of curiosity arose in the hearts of all the viewers.
They were truly incredibly curious: who would come out on top in this battle?
.....
〜In the Worldline of Fourth Holy Grail War〜
Inside the Tohsaka family basement.
Tokiomi Tohsaka looked at the images on the screen and wasn't surprised in the slightest.
Even a King of Heroes from another world wouldn't be obedient so easily.
"However, it really does make one curious. Between the male King Arthur and the King of Heroes from another world, who is truly more powerful?"
—
〜In the Worldline of ██████ Chaldea〜
In the 6th singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot—
The gathered knights watched everything on the screen with looks of astonishment.
"Although that isn't the King we know in our memories, if it were me, I would definitely favor him more."
Although the Arthur on the screen wasn't Lancelot's King, at this moment, he still stood by King Arthur's side.
"This is the male Father King. Even if it's that Glittering Goldie, he can't possibly be Father King's opponent."
At this moment, all the Round Table Knights also sided overwhelmingly with King Arthur.

And at this moment, within the entire group chat, all the viewers were also looking forward to this battle with incomparable anticipation.
In an instant, the entire group chat was filled with messages from all the viewers.
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Ritsuka Fujimaru: The wielder of the Holy Sword of the Star versus the oldest King of Heroes of humanity!! You don't even need to think to know this will be a very spectacular battle. ]
[ Miyamoto Iori: To think it's such a powerful opponent. If only I could be summoned there… Battle, how exhilarating! ]
[ Kotomine Kirei: I seem to smell a hint of joy. You wouldn't happen to be some kind of battle maniac, would you? Forget it, those things aren't important. However, I wonder who will ultimately win this battle. ]
[ Tohsaka Rin: I am actually a bit curious. What exactly is the Noble Phantasm of that King of Heroes, who is a bit different from my impression? Right, the Anti-Civilization Noble Phantasm… and the Anti-Star Noble Phantasm. ]
[ .....]
Undoubtedly, at this moment, everyone focused their attention on the screen, afraid to miss a single detail.
Just as all the viewers were discussing, the content on the screen continued to play.
『 During the time the viewers were discussing, a subway train suddenly appeared on the screen.
Then, it passed right through the space between the two of them.
Accompanying this scene, the battle officially began.
Powerful energy surged from both of their bodies simultaneously.
In the next second, the casual clothes on Proto-Gilgamesh's body vanished, replaced by a suit of brilliant golden armor!
Of course, compared to this golden armor, the viewers weren't surprised at all. Rather than the golden armor, what everyone cared about more was what was on his back.
That King of Heroes was clearly an Archer.
But on his back, he was actually carrying a gigantic pair of blades. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
Seeing this scene, all the viewers couldn't hold back anymore.
Good grief, he's just not pretending anymore, is he?
An Archer coming straight up with greatswords to hack people, is that it?
.....
『 Just as all the viewers were feeling puzzled, Proto-Saber on the other side also entered a combat stance.
A suit of knightly armor had appeared on his body at some point unknown.
At the same time, a Holy Sword blooming with golden light appeared in his hand.
And this was undoubtedly the most famous Holy Sword of King Arthur—Excalibur!!
Watching this scene, all the viewers became thoroughly excited.
Under the gaze of the multitude, this clash of titans finally began.
"BOOM—!"
At this moment, a massive amount of magical energy immediately surged from Proto-Saber's body. In the next second, he charged in Proto-Gilgamesh's direction.
In just the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Proto-Gilgamesh.
Then, he ruthlessly swung down the Holy Sword in his hand.
"HAAAH!!!!"
"CLANG—!"
A crisp sound echoed.
Undoubtedly, this was the sound of weapons colliding.
Back when Proto-Saber began his move, Proto-Gilgamesh on the other side had decisively drawn the two swords from his back.
Then, he swung them to meet the attack in kind.
With the intertwining of the two weapons, brilliant sparks were immediately produced in the air.
"BANG—!"
The collision of the two immediately generated a powerful force.
Under this powerful force, both of them were actually knocked back simultaneously.
Facing such a situation, a feeling of excitement welled up in both of their hearts simultaneously.
Then, they swung their weapons at the same time and charged at each other again.
A layer of white mist instantly exploded in mid-air.
"CLANG—CLANG—CLANG!!!!"
The reflections of the two figures appeared incessantly on the screen.
With their collisions, the weapons in their hands also clashed together continuously.
Producing incredibly intense sparks.
Both were first-rate warriors, and especially in terms of martial arts, they were actually evenly matched for a time.
Both sides pulled back and shifted the battlefield as they fought.
Very quickly, they fought all the way from the subway tunnel to an open area.
After a fierce exchange, the two were surprisingly still evenly matched.
Facing such a powerful enemy, even Proto-Gilgamesh felt a trace of curiosity well up in his heart, focusing his attention on the glowing blade in Proto-Saber's hand.
"Is that the legendary Holy Sword?"
Proto-Saber gave no response to this query.
He simply exerted a slight force with both hands to knock Proto-Gilgamesh back, then created distance between himself and Proto-Gilgamesh.
He focused his attention on the enemy before him!
As expected of the King of Heroes, his strength is indeed powerful enough…
But I absolutely cannot fall into this Holy Grail War. I have a reason why I cannot lose.
Accompanying this conviction, an even more powerful magical energy surged from his body.
The Holy Sword in his hand emitted an even more dazzling light.
A powerful wind pressure immediately appeared on the screen, and in the next second…
It kicked up countless specks of dust.
Then, gripping his Holy Sword, Proto-Saber charged out from the dust, rushing head-on towards Proto-Gilgamesh.
On the other side, Proto-Gilgamesh similarly used the weapons in his hands to intercept Proto-Saber's attack.
"The Holy Grail is not a tool for pouring blood. I heard it was originally a miracle that could not be observed, used to accumulate human wishes.
But… what the majority of humanity expects is not goodwill.
It is maliciously named desire. The Holy Grail has long been abnormal."
Proto-Saber's voice echoed out. 』
『 .....』
〜In the Worldline of Fourth Holy Grail War〜
Watching everything on the screen.
After hearing these words, Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Even he had to admit that what King Arthur said on the screen was indeed correct.
To fight for this omnipotent wish-granting machine, countless magi and Heroic Spirits fought and slaughtered endlessly for it.
But so what…
"Even so, even like this, I must win the Holy Grail War… Only in this way… can I obtain a world where everyone can be happy."
Accompanying these words, a determined expression appeared on Kiritsugu Emiya's face.
His dream was to become a Hero of Justice, and on this path, he had already tasted too many tragedies.
On this long road, he had always adhered to the philosophy of killing the few to save the many.
His heart had actually long since reached the point of collapse.
And the reason he was fighting for the Holy Grail War now was also because he heard the Holy Grail was an omnipotent wish-granting machine.
He pinned his wish on this ethereal Holy Grail…
For this, he was willing to pay any price; all of this was just a necessary sacrifice.
At this very moment, he still didn't know the true meaning of the Holy Grail having gone bad.
The current Holy Grail had long since been distorted. Although it possessed the ability to grant wishes…
The method of granting those wishes was absolutely not something Kiritsugu Emiya could accept.
If he knew the true nature of the Holy Grail, he would probably collapse immediately…
And throughout the entire group chat, countless viewers couldn't help but start discussing.

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Ritsuka Fujimaru: The Holy Grail!? Wait a minute, the Holy Grail actually has a wish-granting function? In my impression, isn't this just a slightly larger magical energy source? ]
[ .....]
" In Between "
〜In the Worldline of ██████ Chaldea〜
Hearing these words, Ritsuka Fujimaru was also slightly stunned.
He really, completely hadn't thought that the Holy Grail could actually grant other people's wishes.
One had to know, he possessed ten or twenty Holy Grails…
But unfortunately, the Holy Grails they recovered from the Singularities were clearly not as powerful as the Holy Grail on the screen.
—
[ Elizabeth Báthory (Lancer): The Holy Grail? Does one really need to fight for such a thing? You know, I can pick one up for no reason every year. Why is there a need to start a war over this kind of thing?? ]
[ Enkidu (Lancer): Indeed… fighting for the Holy Grail is something I cannot understand. Although it's not as powerful as the Holy Grail on the screen, as long as there is sufficient magical energy, I can still make a half-baked Holy Grail. ]
[ Amakusa Shirou (Ruler): ??? No, what kind of nonsense are you people talking about? ]
[ .....]
〜In the Worldline of Fate/Apocrypha〜
Watching the buzzing discussions in the group chat, he couldn't hold it together anymore.
He really hadn't expected that the Holy Grail he dreamed of was an existence that was 'despised by dogs' among the Heroic Spirits in that Chaldea.
This…
Amakusa Shirou suddenly felt a bit of a breakdown.
While all the viewers were discussing, the battle continued.
—
『 At this moment, countless golden ripples appeared behind Proto-Gilgamesh.
Seeing this scene, all the viewers were not surprised at all. After all, this was the King of Heroes' signature Noble Phantasm, the Gate of Babylon.
Sure enough, very quickly, countless terrifying Noble Phantasms slowly emerged from that golden rain.
Those countless Noble Phantasms shot towards Proto-Saber's position like crazy.
"BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!!!!"
Under such commotion, the sky was filled with smoke, permeating the entire battlefield.
And a figure was moving continuously within the smoke.
And that person was undoubtedly Proto-Saber.
He continuously dodged the attacks of those terrifying Noble Phantasms.
Although he successfully dodged them, relying on his agility…
The attacks derived from these Noble Phantasms were difficult to evade.
Caught off guard for a moment, Proto-Saber was actually blown away by the massive impact.
"BANG—!"
His whole body smashed ruthlessly onto the ground.
At the same time, Proto-Gilgamesh caught up to Proto-Saber, arrived in front of him, and grabbed Proto-Saber's hair.
Then…
HE SLAMMED HIM DOWN VIOLENTLY!!!
"BOOM—!"
Proto-Saber was smashed ruthlessly into the ground!
At this moment, after a round of fighting, Proto-Saber was actually completely suppressed by Proto-Gilgamesh.
"BANG—BANG—BANG!!!"
Both sides' weapons intertwined continuously in the air. Very quickly, Proto-Gilgamesh found an opening.
With just a single strike, he knocked Proto-Saber's entire body into the air, then arrived in front of Proto-Saber.
The twin swords in his hands slashed ruthlessly onto Proto-Saber's body.
"BOOM—!"
Under everyone's incredulous gaze, he smashed him ruthlessly into a tall building!
Accompanied by a deafening noise, the entire screen was once again filled with countless plumes of smoke.
At this moment, under such a terrifying attack, countless fragments of stone flew continuously, and smoke filled the entire screen.
After the smoke had gradually dissipated, all the viewers could clearly see the scene on the screen.
The ground had actually developed an incredibly massive crater due to the commotion.
And that famous King of Knights was lying inside, gasping for breath continuously.
He seemed extremely exhausted, without the ability to continue fighting.
Just when the viewers thought this battle was about to end, Proto-Gilgamesh made a move that exceeded all the viewers' expectations.
Under the puzzled gazes of all the viewers, he appeared atop a tall building.
At the same time, a powerful magical energy surged from his body, and the twin swords in his hands disappeared at some unknown point.
Replacing them was an incredibly strange bow formed by combining the two swords…
Upon seeing this bow, a cold sensation welled up in everyone's hearts.
It was as if they had seen some terrifying Noble Phantasm.
And this was that Proto-Gilgamesh's trump card.
An ultimate Noble Phantasm completely different from Ea, the Anti-Civilization Noble Phantasm—Enki: THE SWORD OF THE END!!!
"RECEIVE THIS STRIKE WITH ALL YOUR HEART!!!"
Just as these words fell, Proto-Gilgamesh aimed the bow in his hand at Proto-Saber below.
Then…
"LOOK UP TO THE HEAVENS!!!"
The voice rang out!
The powerful Anti-Civilization Noble Phantasm was ready to fire!! 』
