Later that night, Rei was walking in the empty streets with Eve.
*Sigh
Rei sighed softly as he walked.
”So then Eve, I believe that leaves us with only Archer, Saber, Berserker, Assassin, Caster and Gilgamesh.” Rei said as he walked around aimlessly.
”Yes, this war should be ending soon. Gilgamesh should be making his move soon as we killed Shinji who would have been his next master.” Eve said watching Rei walk around aimlessly.
They walked for an uncertain amount of time. Rei felt lost. He felt lost mentally. He though that his broken self was not too bad, but seeing the result of this made him lost. He started to think back to all the things he done. He destroyed the world government. Kill thousands of marines even though some were admittedly good. He turned the world of boku no hero onto its head.
He then started to think back to his past life. The dreams he once had. They felt fickle to him now. Being a hero was a matter of perspective, he could be a hero to the people he saved but also a villain to families he's broken. Until he had a sudden realisation.
'Didn't I not care about what people thought of me before? So why am I bothering about them now?' Rei thought suddenly which caused him to open his eye's wide. Eve smiled widely as she saw Rei slowly regain his path by himself.
”I wanted to live a life of no regrets. Why push myself for other people's expectations? Isn't that what sensei did as he was then eventually sick of his life of regrets and never gained happiness. While I'm not a good guy I can't be called entirely evil. But no matter how cruel I will be to my enemies, I should try to not involve unnecessary casualties. Otherwise, that would be betraying my own standards.” Rei muttered as he didn't know that his will and soul were being strengthened by this thought.
”Hn, I can't believe I fell into such a state. Hahahahahahaha, as a person wanting to become god I almost lost myself to such depressing thoughts. LAUGHABLE!!!” Rei shouted as his new and improved conquerors haki crashed down into the abandoned area causing an earthquake and the ground to split from the pure pressure.
”Hahahahaha, now then Eve. Since I have gotten out of this slight dilemma, shall we finish this grail war?” Rei said looking at Eve.
”Un, I'll follow you what ever you do.” Eve said returning the smile.
They soon heard the roar of Berserker in this abandoned area. Looking around, Rei could see that they were near the Einzbern's castle.
”Wait is Gilgamesh acting already?!” Rei said slightly shocked as he knew Gilgamesh would make his move soon but this was aloft sooner than he thought. Rei and Eve exchanged glances and understood each other.
Snapping his fingers, Rei teleported him and Eve to the castle of Einzbern.
Reaching the place, Rei could see Berserker about to face off against Gilgamesh. The people in front of him paused and looked towards the two new additions.
”Yo, Berserker.” Rei said with a slight wave.
Gilgamesh frowned at the disregard that Rei had just shown him. While the shadowed person near Gilgamesh said something into a earpiece before looking at Rei.
”Mongrel do not ignore this king.” Gilgamesh said looking at Rei.
”Shut it.” Rei said causing Gilgamesh to frown deeply.
”hn?!” Rei suddenly paused as he looked towards the sky and felt large clusters of people gathering at the location.
Rei frowned feeling this.
”So Gaia has already dispatched counter guardians.....” Rei said as he felt odd auras mixed with the clusters.
”Eve, go warn the others about this.” Rei said face serious. He could feel that Gaia even dispatched some people at the level of Sovereign which was worrying as he didn't know if there were anyone at the level of ascendant. Eve nodded as she flashed towards Rin's mansion.
”Illya, Berserker. I'd suggest that you guys should leave as well. The war about to be here is beyond your level.” Rei decided to warn them.
Gilgamesh suddenly fired a noble phantasm at Illya. Using his body to block the attack, Berserker negated the lower class noble phantasm.
