When Gilgamesh was alive, it was still the true Age of Gods. Although it was slowly declining, the gods could still appear in the human world at will and show off their power to the fullest.
As a demigod, the link between humans and gods, Gilgamesh has met countless gods and has close relationships with several of them, such as his mother, the omniscient and wise goddess Ninsun, and his father, Lugalbanda, the only person in Sumerian mythology who completed the great feat of transformation from human to god.
Of course, along with positive cases like the Father God and the Mother Goddess, there are naturally negative cases. Among them, two goddesses left a very deep and bad impression on him. They are Ishtar, the girl who represents beauty, harvest, war and Venus, and Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld.
The former is a religious man with a dissolute style. He once proposed to Gilgamesh, but was rejected and released the strongest mythical beast, the Bull of Heaven, to wreak havoc on the world. It took Gilgamesh and his best friend Enkidu seven years and untold hardships to repel it.
Ishtar was unwilling to accept this, and asked the gods to kill one of Gilgamesh and Enkidu, accusing a mere human of killing a sacred beast. As a result, Enkidu, created by the gods, could not disobey the will of heaven, and gradually became weak and died.
Ereshkigal and Ishtar, the rulers of death and the dead, are two sides of the same coin. Gilgamesh began to fear death after Enkidu's death and embarked on a journey to the underworld in pursuit of immortality, during which he also witnessed her willfulness and tyranny.
It is no exaggeration to say that these two gods left the worst impression on him among the gods of the Sumerian pantheon. It is worth mentioning that after meeting Enkidu's spirit, Gilgamesh accepted everything and looked down on everything. Now he can tease his former enemies and their halves in a joking tone. He saw their shadows in Rin and Luvia, and he would not take any anger out on them.
However, he was not angry, but the two girls he commented on were furious—not at Gilgamesh's daughter, but at each other.
Veins popped up on Luvia's forehead: "Twins? Me and her? Don't be ridiculous! My sister is much cuter than her."
Lin clenched his fists involuntarily: "This is what I want to say, my sister is better than you-no, it's an insult to her to compare you with her."
"snort!"
"ha!"
"It seems that we can no longer communicate with words." Luvia finally couldn't bear it anymore, and her previous elegant demeanor disappeared.
"There is no other way to resolve the issue between us. I have come all the way here to challenge you in this way. If you have any problems with the Tohsaka family, come after me." Rin said as he took out the velvet strip from his pocket and threw it back to Luvia.
Luvia caught it and held it tightly in her hand: "You call this 'having an opinion'?"
"This happened seventy years ago, and you suddenly come out and tell me, a person who knows nothing about it. What can I take it as? Sure enough, you still have some opinions." Lin sneered with his eyes slanted, and his expression and actions were full of provocation.
"Are you teasing me?" Luvia clenched her other hand.
"So what?" Rin raised her palm upwards and waved as if to provoke him, "I am the current head of the Tohsaka family, Rin Tohsaka. If you have any complaints about the Tohsaka family, come to me!"
"Well, I, Luviacelinta Edelfelt, will show you the wrath of Edelfelt."
Luvia threw the letter of challenge in her hand between the two of them. The moment the letter of challenge fell, she pointed her right hand like a gun at Rin who was ten meters away.
At this point, Rin was making a similar move, pointing his gun at people and gathering his magic power.
"Gandr!"
With a declaration, two finger guns fired magic bullets at the same time.
The magic bullets, also purple-black and cursed, collided in mid-air, and the magic shock caused shattered the blue velvet that just fell. Using pure curses to cause substantial physical damage, this move alone has surpassed 90% of modern magicians and ranked first.
And this was just a greeting at the beginning. Then more fingers were pointed at each other, releasing magic bullets like machine guns in the most impolite way.
In an instant, ominous curse fireworks exploded in the air between the two people. If an ordinary person was touched by even a little bit of them, his life would be taken away.
While the magic bullets were being fired at each other, the two did not forget to give orders to their servants.
"Archer, I'll leave the enemy's Servant in your care."
"Archer, go ahead."
"Understood, Master, please be careful." Karna nodded slightly and walked into the forest at a leisurely pace. The battle between two top archers is bound to cause great turmoil, and the presence of the master will make it difficult to display their skills.
"Rin, if you say you lose here—" Ripples appeared under Gilgamesh's feet, and his figure slowly floated into the air.
"You are the one. Don't lose like last time."
Rin looked up with a confident smile and reached a hand into his pocket.
"Hmph, I will show you what a true king is like."
The King of Heroes narrowed his eyes in displeasure, and then took a step in the air that could not be completely concealed and contained a lofty feeling.
Then, his figure suddenly disappeared from above Rin's head. With just one step, he moved to a place outside of here. The overwhelming power contained in this action even caused the battle between the two first-class magicians to be interrupted for a moment.
It can be imagined that the upcoming battle between Servants will be ten or even a hundred times more intense than the war between Masters.
After the servants of both sides left, Rin pulled her hand out of her pocket. When she pulled it out, there was a handful of fine gem powder on her palm. The girl with a quarter of Finnish blood had a firm expression, as if she was talking to Luvia, or to someone who was not here.
"Don't worry, I won't lose. If I can't even get past the people who come to pick a fight, how can I clear the name of my father and the Tohsaka family? This is just a warm-up match, a warm-up before the final battle with that guy!"
Such a disregarded attitude naturally angered Luvia. She grasped four gems of the same color with her fingers and said, "How dare you say that. However, no matter who you want to challenge, you will no longer have a chance, because you will be defeated by me, today, here!"
"If you can, come on! —Ende!"
The gem powder was scattered, leaving a brilliant curtain of light in the air. Its myriad-colored brilliance was magnificent and luxurious. It was the brilliance of Rin's magic power and a symbol of Rin's enlightenment.
"Call."
At the same time, the gem in Luvia's hand was consumed like a raging wave, emitting astonishing energy, and unwaveringly attacked the light curtain.
Two blood-related female magicians, both of whom have gem magic as their foundation, are wilfully displaying their powers in a showdown.
PS: Shining's father is actually very strong. Think about it, Shining was alive 4700-4500 years ago, and Shining's father or the person who was equivalent to Shining's father had an agreement with Sefalu 14,000 years ago, which is very telling. By the way, according to the only Sumerian King List that can be consulted at present, these ancient kings had a lifespan of hundreds of years. From a materialistic point of view, this is because the age is too long to be verified, so there is confusion. From the perspective of Type-Moon, this is probably the effect of the divine blood, so he can survive.
PS2: I think Luvia is a very suitable person to be possessed by Ereshkigal. She has natural blonde hair and does not need to change it. She is also an old enemy of Rin.
