Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice (Part 2)

Chapter 312

"Hmph. Mongrel, there's no need for you to be overly concerned right now. As the one slumbering in Avalon, let the people of this era manage their own affairs."

"I am not dead yet, so I am still a person of this era."

Gilgamesh sneered, "If that's the case, why don't you just patiently wait for that old man who plays with jewels to give you information? You lost, little lamb."

Shirou raised an eyebrow and shot back, "Oh, the golden dog with a belly full of worms has something to say, huh? Give you an inch and you'll take a mile, won't you, King?"

Gilgamesh sneered and jeered, "And you, this clown with a mouth full of filth, it's truly amusing to witness the downfall of your pathetic dynasty."

Hearing this, Merlin's heart skipped a beat. His face paled, his body drenched in a cold sweat, and his legs shook uncontrollably. Gasping for air, he struggled to catch his breath.

Shirou sneered mockingly, "The rise and fall of empires is just part of the natural cycle of history. It's what drives progress. Did you honestly expect me, the Eternal King, to lament the past and throw childish tantrums over the demise of a kingdom? I'm not some pitiful slug with its eyes glued to a trail of snot."

Gilgamesh let out a hearty laugh, "You're truly audacious to show such disrespect towards me. It's enough to warrant being killed a thousand times over. However, I'll let it slide. Eternal King, continue relying on your Clairvoyance. Whether it's the resurgence of the Age of Gods or the impending doom of the future, I can't help but eagerly await the sight of your once-beautiful face contorted with despair and tears streaming down from the wreckage. Even your mourning tears, I can only imagine, would be exquisite delicacies worth savoring—a treasure of immeasurable rarity."

"Tsk! You're just as repulsive and revolting as always, King of Heroes," Shirou scoffed. "But it's a pity. There are countless things this king is capable of, but shedding tears isn't one of them."

In that moment, King Solomon unexpectedly asked, "Is this what humans refer to as 'friends'?"

"Friends?" Shirou sneered. "Solomon, have you lost your mind? Throughout history, from ancient times until now, there has been only one person who could tolerate the presence of this detestable scum. His only friend was Enkidu."

Gilgamesh declared with certainty, "Indeed! Whether it be in the realms of heaven or on the grounds of earth, in times long gone or in the years to come, Enkidu remains my only friend."

"You certainly have no qualms admitting your scumminess, King of Heroes."

"Only a mongrel like you would spew such disgusting words. What I acknowledge is that Enkidu is my only friend, plain and simple. The one thing this king could never possess as a treasure is a brain, and unfortunately, you seem to lack one as well, Eternal King!"

Solomon asked again, "So, what about you two?"

"Solomon, you wouldn't understand." Shirou replied.

King Solomon fell silent.

"I still want to meet you in person, Eternal King," Solomon finally confessed.

"Maybe we'll cross paths someday."

...

As Shirou left the Clairvoyance Chat Group, he couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed. However, while the conversation didn't yield any significant breakthroughs, there was at least one crucial piece of information that he obtained.

It became evident that something significant was bound to happen in 2004.

However, given that the Holy Grail had already been destroyed, theoretically speaking, there shouldn't be any immediate concern regarding the annihilation of humanity.
