“Saber, go to the Earth Formation, Death Gate Kun; Lancer, go to the Serpent Formation, View Gate Li; Mash, go to the Cloud Formation, Life Gate Gen; I will guard the Heaven Formation, Open Gate Qian.”

Based on each Servant's status, El-Melloi II assigned them to different points of defense.

Saber, who could deliver the decisive blow, was positioned at the Gate of Death, while Lancer, who was in relatively poor condition, was responsible for interfering at the Gate of View, and Mash was responsible for defending the Gate of Life from being destroyed.

He himself was responsible for manipulating the positions of the Stone Soldiers in the Eight Formations by opening the door.

After explaining the precautions, Artoria and Mash quickly arrived at their positions.

Just as the four Servants entered the formation, Gilgamesh had already located the key point of the second formation.

The wind pressure released by the casual swing of the Divergent Sword was like an invisible blade, pointing directly at the location of the array's core.

boom! ! ——

The stone pillars that maintained the formation vibrated with a low groan under the impact of the wind pressure, and were almost completely destroyed, barely managing to keep the formation running.

"Is it finally here? I'm so tired of playing this childish game!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gilgamesh found another key point in the array from a slight fluctuation in space—open the door!

Several high-level Noble Phantasms suddenly shot out from the Gate of Babylon, heading straight for the opening like meteors.

El-Melloi II's eyes narrowed.

"The Journey of Integration and Change!"

Mash Kyrielight, who was guarding the Gate of Life, was instantly teleported in front of the Second King.

Ding ding ding!! ——

A deafening crash echoed within the barrier. Mashu gritted her teeth, using all her strength to withstand the powerful attacks, sparks flying from her shield.

"Well done, Mashu!" the second prince shouted encouragingly, while quickly adjusting the formation.

"The art of seizing opportunities!"

The next instant, the transfer of the key to the opening array was finally completed, and Lancer appeared there.

He wielded a long spear and approached Gilgamesh at a speed that broke the sound barrier.

Lancer's speed was astonishing; his spear, imbued with powerful penetrating force, pierced straight towards Gilgamesh's heart.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gilgamesh's eyes, but he immediately let out a cold laugh.

The Chains of Heaven also rushed towards Lancer at supersonic speed, just as the two were about to collide.

Lancer suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, Artoria, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared behind Gilgamesh.

She didn't probe any further; her first move was a decisive one!

Chapter 163 The Hero King Answers All Questions

"Ex!!—Calibur! Excalibur!!"

Artoria raised her holy sword high, and a blazing stream of light burst forth like the sun.

Powerful magic gathered on the blade, unleashing devastating energy with each swing.

"Hmph, how could we not be on guard?"

Gilgamesh snorted coldly, and the power that had been accumulating in his Ea sword was suddenly released at this moment.

The light of the Ea sword was like dark lightning in hell, and a strong energy surged out, colliding fiercely with Artoria's Excalibur.

Two extremely powerful forces clashed in the air, producing a deafening roar and radiating light, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield in a dazzling glow.

The light vanished in the next instant, and the Stone Soldier Formation returned to darkness.

"Tch, it didn't work."

After seeing that Saber's attack had failed, El-Melloi II immediately moved Artoria to another location.

"Are you that little brat who hid behind the Conqueror King back then?"

Gilgamesh's voice was extremely penetrating and reached El-Melloi II's ears precisely.

It wasn't because Gilgamesh had already pinpointed El-Melloi II's location after his relocation.

The Second Prince, simply by being positioned at the entrance, could survey the entire Stone Soldier Eight Formation, and all the information would be gathered in his hands.

"You actually have memories of that timeline?"

The second king was also taken aback when he heard Gilgamesh's words.

"Bastard, my eyes can see through everything. You don't even know this, yet you dare to challenge the glory of the king?"

Gilgamesh was not surprised by the question from the person before him. There were many who did not recognize the glory of a king, and he would not be surprised if there was one more bastard.

"Since you can see through everything, why don't you tell me about the unique features of this singularity? I'm sure the King of Heroes has already seen through it, hasn't he?"

At this moment, El-Melloi II was multitasking, constantly changing the position of the array's core while also trying to extract information from Gilgamesh.

"Bastard, didn't your new master's self-control tell you that?"

Gilgamesh continued speaking with unrestrained abandon.

As they spoke, the distorted space around them simultaneously hurled outwards to the southwest, each blow decisively shattering the opponent's Noble Phantasm at the Spirit Origin level.

If unleashed with arrogance, those attacks will be utterly inefficient, merely a torrent of Noble Phantasms rained down with fierce killing intent.

However, with the Chaldea Master standing on the same earth as him, Gilgamesh harbored no arrogance.

He used the correct Noble Phantasm and accurately shot at the newly discovered key point of the formation, this time the Death Gate guarded by Artoria.

However, Mash Kyrielight was teleported away by El-Melloi II just before her Noble Phantasm hit her.

"Being pulled here by the Counter Force was just an accident. I still serve the Conqueror King Iskandar. If I had to say, my current Master is a man named Fujimaru Ritsuka."

The Second Prince answered calmly.

His goal was simply to trap Gilgamesh here. The strongest ability of the Stone Formation is that opponents trapped in the No Return Formation will suffer continuous damage and eventually be forced to die.

This damage is hidden, accumulating slowly until it reaches a critical point and then explodes instantly.

Moreover, judging from Gilgamesh's current use of magic, he has been conserving his own magic, which illustrates one point—magic supply!

Furthermore, the extinguishing effect of the Stone Soldier Eight Formations perfectly counters this point.

Artoria's decisive move was just a decoy, not her original winning strategy.

The Second Emperor had already explained this point before everyone entered the battle.

As for Artoria's Noble Phantasm release just now, it wasn't charged to its limit.

Gilgamesh's counterattack barely managed to neutralize the impact of that Noble Phantasm, which exposed his lack of magical power.

In this way, the longer the battle drags on, the greater the chance of victory will be.

"Oh? Looks like that guy did a pretty good job keeping it a secret." Gilgamesh said with a smirk.

He casually swung his Ea sword at the onrushing Lancer.

The Chains of Heaven shot off in the opposite direction from Lancer, as Saber prepared to launch her second attack.

"Who is that guy?" The Second Prince paused for a moment, but still managed to extract some useful information.

"Why should I tell you, you bastard? Are you trying to threaten me with your moral high ground of upholding humanity?"

Seeing that the two were completely unharmed, the Hero King snorted and launched attacks on other locations.

Faced with the King of Heroes' sarcasm, the Second Prince merely shrugged and continued to probe:

"Does the King of Heroes know what kind of person Caster's Master is?"

Finally, there was one sentence that piqued the interest of Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"So we've finally found the right target? That guy, like Fujimaru Ritsuka, is a treasure that even I, the king, want to add to my treasury."

Have we found the right target? A treasure as precious as Fujimaru Ritsuka?

Gilgamesh II automatically ignored the wicked humor in Gilgamesh's words, retaining only the useful information.

Things finally made some progress, but Matouchi was originally the second prince's next target.

But there are still many things about this singularity that the Second Prince cannot understand, such as the current Lancer.

During the previous observation of the battle, when I saw Lancer unleash his Noble Phantasm, this Servant with a mysterious origin immediately entered the top of the list of those to watch.

The strangest thing is why Kenneth would summon such a Servant; that's the key to the matter.

"In that timeline, shouldn't Kenneth's Servant be Dilmurat?"

At this moment, the Second Prince, somewhat "greedily," asked two questions at once.

It includes both Kenneth and Lancer within this singularity.

"You bastard, you have far too many questions, but since I'm in a good mood right now, I'll reluctantly tell you..."

"Isn't that Lancer's master the bastard you went through all that trouble to save? Did that whole farce make you a little too cocky?!"

The tone suddenly shifted, and the "caring older brother" who had just been peacefully answering questions now acted like a tyrant, issuing a judgment to everyone present.

Not long ago, Kirei Kotomine finally emerged from his grief and picked up Kirei Kotomine's right hand, which had been cut off by Kiritsugu Emiya.

He peeled the Command Seals from it and placed them on his own wrist. The path of atonement continued, and the father would pay for the son's sins.

The supply of magic power has long been restored; the casual conversation just now was only to figure out the location and changing patterns of all the array points in one go.

A mature formation cannot be a random change, and Gilgamesh, as king, was certainly well aware of this.

During that brief question and answer session, Gilgamesh's crimson eyes discerned all 1,080 possible transformation paths.

All for this moment, to break through in one fell swoop!

Chapter 164 The King's Open Scheme!

The transformed path has been fully resolved.

The gates to the Gate of Babylon twisted and appeared from the void.

Then, his treasure trove, which opened on the inner side of the space, revealed dozens or even hundreds of "treasures" from the "Gate of Babylon".
