Chapter 118 The Second Killer
Above Mount Enzo.
Because of the distance, not many people heard Roy's words. Even Rin Tohsaka, who was underground, didn't hear them. Only Gilgamesh took his heartfelt words to heart.
"Magic is a broken system. The wish is to reset magic and create a new concept of art...?"
Gilgamesh lowered his head in thought, as if he was completely immersed in thinking about this wish.
The root of this wish is not hatred for magic, but the desire to complete humanity.
"Hehe, hehe, hehe, hehe, hehe! I admit it. This is indeed the happiest minute of my appearance this time! Did you hear me? I'm praising you for bringing me the greatest pleasure!"
Gilgamesh laughed very proudly and gave Roy the highest praise in his opinion.
He didn't praise the good or bad of Roy's wish, but the pleasure it brought to him.
After all, he is the King of Heroes, and he has long known many things in the world. He laughs at the bad nature of human beings while watching coldly, which is proof that he has seen through everything. Even if someone makes such a great wish, right and wrong are still meaningless in his eyes. He will only score according to his mood.
"This king really has a bad character."
Tai Gongwang's smile did not change, but he curled his lips slightly in dissatisfaction.
Gilgamesh's laughter was very harsh, and it was easy to hear several kilometers away. The magicians who hid far away could hear his loud laughter.
"But, little kid named Roy, you can't fulfill your wish now."
Gilgamesh laughed enough, and his face showed a warm expression that he had never seen before.
"After all, you can't defeat me here, and the Holy Grail has been successfully restarted. Once the Holy Grail is activated, it cannot be stopped. Even if the magic power of the earth veins in the world is sucked dry, the wish will be executed. Even your magic eyes, little kid, can't stop the Holy Grail when the curse is fully erupted!"
Roy's expression sank slightly.
Gilgamesh was right.
His magic eye can indeed tamper with the setting of the Holy Grail, but that is only limited to when the Holy Grail is dormant. Once the Holy Grail is successfully restarted, Roy will not be able to control it.
It's not that the magic eye can't work.
It's that the curse can't work.
The conceptual "all the evil in this world" is accumulated in the Holy Grail. Roy, who tampered with its setting when the Holy Grail was dormant, suffered a lot because of it and endured three years of torture. Once the Holy Grail wakes up, the curse is completely released. Unless you can fight all the evil in this world on your own, you will never be able to get close to the Holy Grail.
You have to know that even Gilgamesh, who is recognized as the most self-conscious, was initially set to completely ignore all the evil in this world after taking a Bosnian mud bath, but later it was changed to be affected by his thoughts and became more radical and extreme, so he became the super manga king in UBW.
Although Roy has been resisting the curse of the Holy Grail until now, it is because the curse is not heavy.
Now that the Holy Grail has been successfully restarted, the curse inside has been completely released. Roy cannot withstand the curse of that magnitude, and he can be drowned by drowning.
In other words, now that the Holy Grail has been restarted, Roy can no longer interfere with the operation of the Holy Grail.
"It's okay to tell you, but the wish made by Kirei this time is to kill all mankind."
Gilgamesh's face showed a vicious and weird smile.
"This is to test why the world has become like this, but for now, if you want to fulfill your wish, you can only destroy the Holy Grail, but I am here, and if you can't beat me, don't even think about destroying the Holy Grail!"
Very good!
This bastard is still the extreme and radical idiot!
"It's really a tyrant!"
Taigong Wang's face gradually darkened.
Since this summoning, he felt that his fist was hard for the first time.
Such an emperor should go to the eighteen levels of hell with King Zhou to clean up the floor!
"That may not be the case!"
At this time, Roy suddenly curled his lips and smiled, revealing a confident smile.
"Hmm?"
Gilgamesh's smile froze, and his eyes narrowed.
Suddenly, he felt his eyes go dark again, and his brain felt dizzy.
He became alert and checked his body, but still found nothing abnormal, and no spells were working on him.
What happened?
"King of Heroes, I knew that Kotomine Kirei was your Master, but why do you think I didn't kill him before the Holy Grail War started? You and him weren't always together."
Seeing Gilgamesh's obviously uncomfortable reaction, Roy laughed as if he had succeeded.
That's right.
Although Gilgamesh is Kotomine Kirei's Servant, he likes to wander around outside. He doesn't stay in Fuyuki City all year round. If Roy wants to kill Kotomine Kirei, there are many opportunities.
With Roy's strength, he can kill a third-rate Servant head-on. As long as he is well prepared, it is not impossible to kill Kotomine Kirei.
But Roy did not kill Kotomine Kirei.
Even though he knew that he might be bad for him, he still let him live.
"...What do you want to say?"
Gilgamesh's face froze.
His dangerous snake eyes locked onto Roy, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.
"You are waiting for the Holy Grail to restart and let Kotomine Kirei make a wish, but you don't know that this is exactly what I want!"
Seeing that the King of Heroes didn't see through his trump card, Roy couldn't help but laugh even more happily.
"You should have been feeling dizzy since just now, right? You probably thought that we might have cast some magic, but the reality is that no magic has worked on you, but there is something wrong with you!"
"I have been in Fuyuki City for three years and have come into contact with the Holy Grail at least fifty times, if not a hundred times. Even if Angra Mainyu obstructs me, how much can he, a Heroic Spirit who doesn't know magic, obstruct me? I have secretly tampered with the Holy Grail much more than you know!"
To be honest, Roy was still very nervous at first, because Gilgamesh really has some omniscience. If he sees through his actions, it will be terrible.
But the reality is that Gilgamesh didn't see through everything. He may have seen through a lot of things in this world, but it is obvious that his understanding of this world is still like a mirage.
That's right.
In the past three years, Roy has come into contact with the Holy Grail dozens of times!
On the surface, he only made some very shallow tampering to hide the attention of Angra Mainyu, who knew nothing about magic, but he didn't know that in his repeated contacts, Roy had made very radical tampering with the deep mechanism of the Holy Grail.
This is Roy's second killer.
- He adjusted the activation mechanism of the Holy Grail, changing the activation condition to consume magic power and the soul of the servant!
