~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The amount of weaponry Gilgamesh has summoned normally would make Ereshkigal nervous.
Every single weapon he pulled out from his vault IS meant to deal with Divine in some way, every single one of those are lethal to her as she is still a Goddess and has that weakness.
Thankfully this was not a normal situation, where Gilgamesh has his 'endless' wealth, Ereshkigal in this situation has an endless amount of Prana and Gaia and Alaya are turning blind eye to her Divine Authority use.
"Now die!!!" Gilgamesh roared with fury as all the weapons pointed at the Goddess turned Servant, and were released at speed fast enough to break the sound barrier.
~~~~~~The Fuyuki Church~~~~~~
"Hmm? What is he doing? Doesn't he know that there is no grail support for him in this war?" The fake priest sighed as he used one of his command seals as a battery for the wasteful King of Heroes.
"You shouldn't bother with him, there is no way a Servant could face a Sorcerer, no matter how great one legend is." The Hero from Ireland manifested not far from the fake priest.
"We talking about King of Heroes, Lancer. Sword of Rupture and Enkidu should be more than enough to deal with a witch and Two King of Knights." The fake priest spoke with certainty. He after all witnessed Gilgamesh power in the fourth war, completely ignoring the whole Sorcerer part altogether.
"What can those do to someone who wields miracles, anyway I will be waiting for the results since there is nothing else for me to do." The Hound of Ulster said that as he turned into his spirit form to conserve the Prana of his Master for that golden prick.
~~~
As a massive amount of weapons started to descend on Ereshkigal, the Blonde Lancer tapped with one of her heels at the ground and all of her surroundings started to burn in crimson.
With simple motion of her foot, the Goddess of Netherworld summoned her domain…
Pillars of rocks rushed from the ground to create a wall in a fraction of a second.
Moments later all the weapons collided with stone pillars, what shocked the King of Heroes was that the stone pillars captured all the weapons, this shows that Ereshkigal used an enormous amount of Prana in creating this stone wall!
A few seconds later the Goddess turned Servant appeared on top of the pillar and looked down on the Blond King from Uruk.
"Welcome to Kur King of Uruk, in here I am Omnipotent." The blonde said with a grin her golden eyes were glowing with fury.
"...This is impossible! How can you summon the Mesopotamian underworld in Japan!?" Gilgamesh looked around with wide eyes, he was missing something here! Where is Gaia's and Alaya's presence!? Why are they allowing a Goddess to summon her domain like that!?
"By asking my Master's for permission of course! You are quite dumb, aren't you? Well, I guess you haven't matured yet." Ereshkigal had a thoughtful look for a moment before focusing back on dealing with fellow blond in front of her.
*Tsk*
This was bad for Gilgamesh, once you are in Kur you are not getting out of it, at least without a fight.
The blonde Lancer pointed her hand and birdcages started to come out from earth around the blonde King, lightning was crackling inside of them.
The King of Uruk quickly jumped away but the birdcages simply followed him.
Once again the Mesopotamian Hero clicked his tongue he can't shoot his weapons without care in this situation, simply that he had limited prana, and he already sensed that Kirei used a second Command seal on him as a power source.
He can't play games anymore so he decided to use Chains of Heaven and then shower the Netherworld Goddess with anti-Divine weapons.
Yet…
Gilgamesh eyes went wide when he felt that he lost connection to his...treasury.
This was such a massive shock to him that he forgot that he was mid-jump and landed on his stomach.
Even Ereshkigal stopped summoning her birdcages as she saw the oldest Hero in the world lose his balance and drop on his stomach.
It was very unkingly of him.
"Do you need help? I was in the middle of something here!" The blonde Goddess turn Servant asked the fellow blonde.
"Who did this!? Who took my treasury!?!" Gilgamesh furiously looked around, his gaze eventually ended up on Ren who curiously was holding the golden key like thing.
"YOU! Do you know what are you holding!? How dare you!?" The ancient King furiously said that. Forgetting for a moment that he was in a life and death situation that he was in Kur and the person who was holding his key was not…
"Eresh, sweetheart, why don't you just end this, it's late evening and I am kind of tired and want to sleep," Ren said that while ignoring the pissed off King of Uruk.
"Y-Yes Sensei! Sorry! I got carried away there!" The blonde Lancer quickly got embarrassed there, she can't believe how easily her Sensei got under skin like this!
'Control yourself Ereshkigal! You are a Goddess now!'
The Goddess turned Servant shook her head before looking back at Gilgamesh seriously, she tapped with her heels on the ground once more and several more birdcages came out from the ground surrounding the Ancient King.
The Mesopotamian Hero looked around with grimace and panic this time. This was very bad!
'Damn, damn, damn! Kirei use one of the command seals to summon me back to the church!!!' Gilgamesh tried to contact his Master but to his horror, something or someone was interfering in the connection he had with his Master!
"Told you didn't I? No one can escape Kur, and you Gilgamesh will be staying here...for a very long time… I suggest reflecting upon your actions…" Ereshkigal said that as she started to spin her weapon above her head.
Lightning was crackling and power was building up rapidly.
That moment Gilgamesh knew that the blonde Lancer is about to use her Noble Phantasm on him, while he had no weapons, no treasury, even his armour chest piece was broken…
"Damn...you…"
"Kur Kigal Irkalla!!!"
Crimson flames and lightning from the cages exploded, that moment Gilgamesh was dragged into very depts of Underworld.
Leaving nothing behind.
The next moment Kur around Ereshkigal disappeared looking like nothing has happened around in Emiya's backyard, apart from Gilgamesh original attack which destroyed the Western type of house.
The blonde Lancer turned around with a proud look, she was very much satisfied with her work right now!
King of Uruk is gone! The version of him which killed her father is in the depths of the Mesopotamian Underworld.
She would want to rip him from the Throne altogether, but as much as she finds him annoying, the man can be useful with his treasury.
"Sensei. He is gone and never coming back." The blonde Lancer said to Ren as she walked over to him.
"Good Job Eresh, and we got a souvenir too." The Sorcerer showed the golden key as he started spinning it on his finger.
"...Is that… Gilgamesh's Bab-ilu?" The blonde Lancer asked with wide eyes, this was… incredible! The Gate of Babylon is one of the world's most powerful Noble Phantasm!
"It is, only the problem is I can't use it right now, you can say I have a small project going on now." The True Magic-user said with barely hidden excitement.
"...Master if you can truly access his Treasury you will be able to use all the Noble Phantasm he has no? And then replicate them!" As the fallen knight was saying that, she slowly herself realise what her Master will be able to do with all that wealth!
While King of Knights was thinking how quickly the greatest threat in the last war was delt with, it was even hilarious!
"Yes, Yes… alot of wealth! I get it, but now girls I am going to sleep and I am taking my husband with me! So good night!" Morgan grabbed her husband hand and started pulling him back into their shared bedroom.
"..."
"..."
"We can discuss the fact that Sensei has the world biggest treasury at a later time," Ereshkigal said casually as she looked around, realising that her room is nothing more than a crater she looked back at Emiya who was spacing out at that time.
"Emiya-kun…" The blonde Lancer was about to ask Emiya for a new room to stay but her old room... simply reappeared where the crater was…" Oh, never mind!"
It was obvious who did that, it was almost like a miracle, well it was a miracle...
"Thank you Sensei!"
All she got from her Sensei was thumbs-up as he was pulled back into the house.
~~~
"It would seem Gilgamesh is gone, the contract simply disappeared, indicating that he was… sealed off?" The fake priest said with a frown.
"I told you that Sorcerers are dangerous, you have heard of Kaleidoscope didn't you?" Lancer manifested in one of the seats in the main church hall.
"Of course I did! My point is why someone would care about this small-time failed ritual in other side of the world?" Kirei said with an annoyed look, his entertainment is gone! How is he supposed to find something interesting to do? At least with King of Heroes, they could scheme something!
Now Gilgamesh is gone, and Lancer is the only one left! And this stupid hound of Ulster only cares about a good battle!
He doesn't give a flying fuck about some battles! He is a Christian Priest in Japan! Halfway across the world where most Christians are! Meaning there is barely anyone who comes to his Church! Making his life boring beyond belief!
'Now that Gilgamesh is gone I should just drop this stupid job as Overseer and go back to Executor, now that I know what I want I can enjoy my entertainment there.' The Survivor of last Grail War thought to himself, he found this idea more lucrative every passing moment.
"Lancer, tomorrow when sunsets go and have your battle, win or lose, I don't care," Kirei said with a bored tone, before starting to walk to his office he decided to inform his superiors of his request to rejoin the Executors… and send someone else to do this boring job. Hell, the next Grail War will be 50 years from now on!
Fuyuki just turned boring beyond belief.
"Now you talking my language!"
The fake priest rolled his eyes hearing that coming from Irish Hero.
~~~~~~Later~~~~~~
When morning came, Ereshkigal opened her eyes, there was a massive smile on her face when she saw sunshine coming through the curtains.
Finally! With her own eyes, she can see the world outside!
Never before she was this excited for such a simple thing! Yet, her Sensei made it happen!
She, the Goddess of Netherworld, can see the overworld! The very same world which her counterpart enjoys every day, now she can do the very same thing!
For eternity! Just thinking about that makes her extremely excited, to the point that she jumped out from the bed…
"What I should for day? Oh, this is just so, exciting!" Ereshkigal giddily thought about this.
Before she realized that the war finals will happen this night! So that means she has a whole day, do something!
'Right! Sensei will be teaching Emiya...stuff, that means I can be around the workshop too!' The blonde Lancer put her hand on her chin, stroking for a moment.
"Hmm, I wonder… I still should be able to use regular magecraft…" Thinking for a moment the blonde walked over and picked up some gems stored with prana.
A short check-up later Ereshkigal realised that she can indeed still use her Magecraft, but her element has changed.
'This… means Sensei has altered my attribute and element to fit with Goddess Ereshkigal…
Sorcerers are a crazy bunch if they can do such things!'
Shaking her head for a bit, the Blonde Lancer decided to go to the main house to get some breakfast! Another exciting thing she is itching to do! And that is food!
But before that, she needs to dress up!
