First, Gilgamesh cannot break illusions or hypnotic abilities, which proves that "Kenneth"...
Their capabilities far exceeded expectations.
Secondly, the abnormality on Gilgamesh has disappeared, so there's no question of whether it's been resolved or not; it's possible that the other party resolved it on their own or that the time had come.
But judging from Hero King's state, the second possibility is unlikely, because the others he can think of are not fools either.
Even the most powerful Heroic Spirits are like puppets in front of this man. No matter how ruthless this Magician Killer is, he wouldn't dare say he's stronger than a Heroic Spirit like the King of Heroes.
I underestimated you, everyone underestimated you.
When Kiritsugu Emiya reopened his eyes, they were lifeless.
Aizen knew that this man, who had risked everything to fight, wouldn't give up easily, so he temporarily ignored him.
Seeing Gilgamesh's unpleasant expression, Aizen jokingly asked, "No."
7. Would you like to try again?
"Offal"
He muttered a curse under his breath, then took a deep breath and calmly said, "Your method is not a curse, nor is it a simple illusion; it affects the five senses and even the sixth sense."
If I had to give an answer, then hypnosis would probably be more appropriate. Superficial hypnosis is self-misleading under the influence of external forces, and it may not be useful for using magic tools to undo purification. On the contrary, as long as one is aware of it, one can break free.
Your special hypnosis is extraordinary. Although I don't know exactly how you did it, I admit defeat this time.
"However, you mongrel shouldn't be too smug."
"Your ability isn't invincible. If your clairvoyance can break through it, then you won't have a chance to win next time. You'd better think about how to deal with that little girl this time too."
Having said that, Gilgamesh didn't give Joan of Arc a chance to stop him or react before making his own exit.
Chapter 502 The Two Kings Depart, Avalon Reappears (3/3)
As Gilgamesh gradually disappeared, Aizen's lips curled into a slight smile.
Looking forward to seeing you again.
"Ugh, trash."
Gilgamesh left behind a pair of enigmatic eyes.
Aizen's smile seemed to become much more genuine at this moment, because the other party seemed to have guessed something.
Well, that's true.
No matter how special the hypnosis, it is still a technique. If even the King of Heroes' treasure vault cannot dispel it, it cannot be considered a simple "magic trick."
It can be explained clearly.
Even if it's "magic"
It's simply "magic" that human technology can't achieve.
It is not something that cannot be resolved.
At its simplest, even the Parallel World Interference of the Second Magician, Gemstone, would be difficult to execute under the impact of Ea.
The complete hypnosis achieved through illusions and mirages has clearly surpassed the capabilities of a mere "magician."
That's within my capabilities.
"If we're suspected, won't the mission fail? Aren't you going to explain yourself, system?"
"He only doubts Kenneth's identity, not that you are not Kenneth."
"hehe."
The conversation in the system's mind evoked a sense of mockery.
Yes, its explanation sounds like sophistry.
This also shows that even after breaking through to the fifth level, the system wasn't as unaffected by the system rules as initially claimed, but this doesn't necessarily harm Aizen.
After all, he had put in some effort to plan, and although he didn't mind wasting his time when he was in the mood, it was always good to make the most of his planning. He was also quite curious about what kind of organization would determine the final reward for this mission.
Aizen could understand Gilgamesh's decision to withdraw from the scene.
Gilgamesh's pride wouldn't allow him to deny his failure; his attempts after being rescued by Jeanne were merely attempts to break Aizen's abilities.
For him, failure is failure, and he won't deny it no matter how despicable his opponent's methods are, unless they truly cross his bottom line.
And so, the strongest of the three kings has met his end.
What should we do now?
Joan of Arc broke out in a cold sweat.
The unexpected departure of the King of Heroes disrupted her plans.
Just as she said, she was only there to uphold the fairness of the Holy Grail War, but the fact that the violators weren't eliminated instead led to the elimination of a normal participant left her somewhat bewildered.
Having personally influenced the course of the Holy Grail War, she couldn't refute it this time.
Soon, things completely brought this... saintess to her knees.
Wow.
A surge of magical energy was generated, right in front of the two people.
A handsome young man, Velvet, with tears streaming down his face but unharmed.
The other was not Iskandar, the Conqueror. A wolf figure with shattered black armor knelt on the ground, covered in black bloodstains of unknown origin. The two swords he held were cracked, and he had engaged in a brutal and magnificent duel.
No one knows how the battle within this enigmatic barrier unfolded, but everyone knows that the final victor has already been decided.
"The enemy general has been defeated."
The enemy was ashamed, so he took off her clothes.
A weak, low voice announced the victory.
Aizen couldn't help but show his appreciation for his subordinate's excellence, praising him generously: "Well done."
"I have successfully completed my mission."
Leaning on his katana, Hattori Hanzo slowly rose and staggered back behind Aizen.
Assigning the King of Conquerors to Hattori Hanzo was not outside of Aizen's plan. Finn, with his pride, would never relinquish the King of Heroes to someone else; Diarmuid had his sights set on the King of Knights.
The remaining Conqueror King was naturally left to Hattori Hanzo to deal with; this was also a test for Hattori Hanzo by Aizen.
It's not that the Conqueror King is stronger than the other two kings, but he is the most troublesome for Hattori Hanzo.
If a real fight were to break out, the Conqueror King, facing both anti-army and anti-world Noble Phantasms, would be no match for Hattori Hanzo, yet he lacked similar means.
His ninjutsu prioritizes quality over destructive range; a ninjutsu that can sweep away dozens of people is but a drop in the ocean compared to an army of tens of thousands.
In particular, he used a privilege to bring him to this world and transform him. If Hattori Hanzo cannot meet Aizen's expectations, then he will only be a regrettable discard.
As a result, Aizen was very satisfied.
This means that Hattori Hanzo has truly become a recognized subordinate.
"Lady Jeanne, because of your actions, the three Holy Grail Wars have been effectively ended, along with those you personally eliminated."
Aizen observed Jeanne d'Arc with great interest, curious about how this... saint would react.
For a second, then two seconds, Joan of Arc's beautiful and pure expression was conflicted for a while. Her light, troubled, regretful yet slightly relaxed voice finally rang out: "It seems I am truly incompetent. Not only did I fail to salvage the situation, but I also overlooked something."
"If only I had used the Command Seals sooner."
Indeed, if she had used a Command Spell to strengthen it again, Hattori Hanzo might have been the one to die.
However, if she uses a Command Seal, Aizen will certainly not hesitate to use it.
After all, Jeanne d'Arc only had one Command Seal left to control Hattori, and Aizen only needed to leave one for defense.
Now, only two sides remain in this Holy Grail War: the former are considered allies, while the latter, due to the curse of the Yellow Rose, are crippled and unable to exert their full strength.
The outcome seemed predetermined, but as the King of Heroes said, the ability to create miracles is always a variable.
Although her intuition (390) is not a true prediction of the future, it can still, to some extent, escape the influence of illusions and mirages.
However, with Diarmuid, Finn, and another fighter all relatively intact, she seemed to have no chance of turning the tide.
Or perhaps the King of Heroes never believed from the beginning that the King of Conquerors would lose to someone.
Only then will they believe that they still have a chance of winning even when there are constraints.
Suppressing her grief and rage over Irisviel's death, Artoria said with difficulty, "I! Surrender! Spare my life!"
"We still have a chance! We've got Avalon inside Ai's body!"
Suddenly, Kiritsugu Emiya, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, activated his Time Control again and charged straight toward Irisviel.
Due to his current condition, he can only use twice the amount at most.
It would be difficult for a human to handle, but it wasn't fast enough for Finn, so he was stopped as soon as he moved.
She paused for a moment after receiving the prompt, then sprinted off with Diarmuid. Luckily, she was closer to Alice and successfully caught Alice's "corpse."
He blocked with his backhand and used the impact to create distance.
Immediately afterwards, the light shone brightly.
A heavy, mysterious, and sacred scabbard slowly emerged.
"This is my sword sheath!"
Chapter 503 Finally Meeting Curry Stick 1/2
The brilliance of the Noble Phantasm was so dazzling.
Diarmuid, Finn, and the other Heroic Spirits all showed subtle changes in their expressions.
Of course, having a Tier 1 Noble Phantasm doesn't mean you're invincible; just recently, two guys wielding Tier 1 Noble Phantasms were wiped out in one fell swoop.
However, this does indeed introduce an element of uncertainty, since no Noble Phantasm should be underestimated.
Aizen didn't try to stop it at all; in fact, it was a result he intentionally brought about.
"!"
With a delicate shout, holy light surged forth.
Almost instantly, Aizen felt something break.
"Illusory beauty in a mirror, fleeting illusion—has it been shattered?"
Muttering to himself about this already certain outcome, Aizen's emotions were a mix of happiness and bewilderment.
He originally intended for Gilgamesh and Artoria to try and break the hypnosis of "Mirror Flower, Water Moon." At first, he thought Gilgamesh would have a higher success rate, but unexpectedly, it was Saber who succeeded in doing so.
Although he had long considered this outcome, he still felt a strange and complex emotion when the illusion was finally broken.
No ability is invincible.
He firmly believed in this statement and understood that the power of illusions was insignificant in the vastness of the world.
"The outcome was somewhat expected, yet a touch of melancholy still lingers. How interesting."
Muttering to himself, Aizen completely ignored Artoria's sudden change in expression.
Just as Artoria showed a look of surprise and was about to speak, he coldly said, "Go and settle your business with this...king."
"clear."
Having already regained his composure, he lowered his voice and said.
Before Saber could speak, she directly removed her helmet from Artoria's head: "Your Majesty."
"You, Lord Lancelot!"
Artoria was still reeling from her joy when she was stunned by this unexpected turn of events.
Artoria quickly realized the other party's class and her expression became complicated: "You... hate me that much? Are you willing to fall from the rank of a knight to this state just to take revenge on me?"
"No! That's not how it is!"
Lancelot denied it categorically, his eyes filled with helplessness.
This...brainless king continued to talk to himself, but that's precisely why he and Gawain were needed: "In fact, I have always been filled with remorse. If it weren't for the mistakes I made, none of the subsequent tragedies would have happened. I will spend the rest of my life deeply regretting it."
Tristan's irresponsible remarks were the initial trigger, but Lancelot still took all the blame when facing the King.
Or rather, taking the blame voluntarily is considered a highly unusual skill.
