Red Hare returhe God Force to Chihiro, then took his position within the formation.

  "I'm ting on you, Red Hare," Chihiro murmured through gritted teeth, signaling the attack.

  Red Hare transformed into a bzing projectile, and with the help of Chihiro's Mystic Code- Royal Brand, whisured a guaranteed hit, he shot directly tilgamesh.

  "I will tell you of the beginning.

  Heaven ah split, nothingness praised creation, my Sword of Rupture cleaved the world!

  Mortar of the stars, heaven's hell is the eve of creation's celebration.

  Now you shall die and be silent!"

  "Enuma Elish!"

  At the same time, Gilgamesh pleted his t, r as he swung Ea.

  A powerful red energy surged forth like a dragon, erasing everything in its path with terrifying force. Even Iskandar's Army trembled before its might, on the verge of colpse.

  Ea's trajectory was aimed squarely at Red Hare, who was charging in his dire.

  Gilgamesh inteo crush Chihiro's hopes ond for all, f him into despair through sheer power.

  But fag the might of Ea, Red Hare showed no fear.

  At that moment, his sciousness faded, overtaken by an intense surge of power building up within him.

  The sensation was almost indescribable, a forehat it felt as if he might explode at any moment. For most, this would be unbearable.

  This was the effect of the formation he was utilizing.

  Twed Formation was, in fact, a Noble Phantasm crafted by Gong based on a human modification teiques from a fotten dynasty. The formation would amplify any Servant fired from it, dramatically boosting their power.

  However, there rice. After dealing their final blow, the Servant's body would disie.

  To outsiders, it might seem as though the Servant had turned into a bomb, detonating to wipe out the enemy. But iy, the Servant truly would perish after unleashing all their magical energy i, devastating release.

  In esse was a human bomb ohat would self-destruct after hitting its target.

  The timing and potency of the explosion were determined by the Servant's own will. For example, Spartacus, equipped with his "g Warmonger," could likely trigger an explosion on par with a nuclear bst.

  As Red Hare neared Ea, a sliver of crity returo him, allowing him to execute o attack.

  "Lü Bu among men, Red Hare among horses! Now, we are one!"

  "Pseudo-God Force!"

  At this decisive moment, Red Hare activated his own Noble Phantasm, not as a spear, but as a bzing beam of energy, he himself had bee the on.

  "Red Hare, take all my and Seals!" Chihiro called out, eling his remaining strength.

  With the and Seals' added power, Red Hare's energy bst grew expoially, meeting Ea in a colossal impact.

  Boom…

  The entire Reality Marble shook violently.

  If it hadn't been for Iskandar's efforts to maintain it, the barrier would have shattered instantly.

  Everyoared in shock.

  Red Hare was actually holding his ground against Ea.

  The red and white energies cshed, locked in a desperate stalemate. But this fragile bance was short-lived.

  The red energy beam began to overpower the white, inch by inch.

  Seeing this, Gilgamesh sneered, increasing the output of Ea.

  The white beam was swallowed by the red, but just as it seemed all was lost, somethiraordinary happened.

  Bang!!!

  The white beam, now pulsing with absorbed energy, suddenly exploded. The immense shockwave shattered the remnants of the red energy.

  Caught off guard, Gilgamesh staggered, momentarily breaking his tration.

  In this ued way, Ea's attack was finally ralized.

  But the cost was high. Red Hare faded back to the Throne of Heroes, being the first Servant to exit the Holy Grail War.

  "You... i curs!" Gilgamesh seethed with rage, liftio strike again.

  Suddenly, his body wavered.

  A strange weakness overtook him, draining his strength and leaving him feeling holloowerless.

  "A curse?"

  He quickly uood, though he uzzled as to when he could have been afflicted.

  And theiced something else.

  Ishtar, Sigurd, and the other captured Servants were now free from his s of Heaven.

  "What... What is happening?!"

  Gilgamesh panicked, attempting to summon the s of Heaven once more, but nothing happened.

  The s were beyond his trol.

  "Your arrogance has caught up with you, Gilgamesh!" Chihiro shouted, finally allowing himself a sigh of relief.

  Red Hare's sacrifice was not in vain.

  Before his final charge, Red Hare had used an item gifted by the System: Five Hundred Years of Obsession.

  When a bearer of this item perishes in battle, it curses the enemy, sealing away one of their Noble Phantasms.

  And Gilgamesh, of all people, had fallen victim to it.

  "Ishtar! Now's our ce!" Chihiro called to Ishtar above.

  This was the moment to finish Gilgamesh, with no room for mercy.

  "I know. Gate Open!"

  Ishtar waved her hand, and a vast portal materialized in the sky, revealing a breathtaking starry expanse beyond, with a radiant golde h oher side.

  The sight left everyone awestruck.

  In terms of sheer spectacle, Ishtar's Noble Phantasm was unparalleled.

  "From the great Heavens, Towards the Great Earth—Behold my full strength!"

  Ishtar floated, her bow Maanna taking form at her side.

  With a deft motion, she threw her golden spear into the portal, where the massive p began to shrink, transf into an enormous golden energy arrow ready to be unleashed.

  "Annihite him! An Gal Ta Ki Gal ?è!

  Ishtar fired, and the energy arrow bzed tilgamesh, transf into a massive beam of light.

  "Tokiomi!"

  Paralyzed by the curse, Gilgamesh had no choice but to call for Tohsaka Tokiomi, hoping his Master would use a ao save him.

  "I uand."

  Tokiomi's voice sounded in his mind, calm and resolute.

  "By my and Seal, I order you—Archer, do not resist. Accept your fate."

  "Tokiomi, you—!"

  Fury surged within Gilgamesh as he realized the betrayal. He never imagihat Tokiomi would turn his ba him at such a critical moment.

  But his anger was futile; the oute was set.

  Boom…

  The light on struck, engulfing Gilgamesh pletely.

  In a deafening explosion, the King of Heroes was banished back to the Throne of Heroes, following Red Hare i.

  After a grueling night, victory was finally theirs.

  Though they had lost Red Hare, it was undeniably a resounding triumph.

  "We… actually won..."

  Waver and Kayh exhaled in relief.

  The biggest threat, Gilgamesh, had finally bee with.

  Iskandar dispelled the Reality Marble, returning them all to the real world.

  The barrier had been on the verge of colpse, held together by Iskandar's sheer will.

  "So… I guess this means our alliance is over," Chihiro said, gng at the El-Melloi II with a hint of amusement.

  With Gilgamesh's defeat, their temporary alliance had officially e to an end.

  The El-Melloi II met his gaze with a smile. "nning to attack already?"

  "Hey, no way!" Waver excimed, armed at the thought of anht.

  "Rex. I'm exhausted," Chihiro replied, yawning. "Let's call it a night."

  "Agreed," El-Melloi II nodded. "Starting tomorrow, we're rivals once again."

  Chihiro smirked. "Don't expect me to hold back."

  "Nor will we," El-Melloi II replied with a chuckle.

  They exged o look, then each side turned away, heading back to rest.

  Far off, half the mountain, Assassin silently observed the se, rep the events back to his Master.
