Just as all the audience members were laughing at Altria's rocking car, which required inserting coins to operate, the host's voice in the light curtain sounded again at the right moment.
["Next up, Illya and Berserker!"]
At this moment of great attention, Rin Tohsaka quietly appeared beside Illya. She curiously glanced at the content on the wooden stick, frowned slightly, and seemed surprised by this pair.
["What is that?" she couldn't help but whisper.]
Hearing this, Illya gently closed her eyes as if concentrating, then suddenly opened them and elegantly snapped her fingers!
The snap was crisp and loud, echoing across the field.
Upon hearing this snap, Berserker seemed to trigger some kind of mechanism. He roared, tensed his muscles, crouched down, and got ready.
Duang!
A deafening sound followed, and Berserker's body began to undergo a wondrous transformation.
He was like a Transformer, instantly turning into a large muscle car with a B-type head!
The car exuded a strong sense of power, as if it could destroy all obstacles.
And during this amazing transformation, Illya stood firmly on the car. She smiled and confidently announced: "BerserCar!"
At this moment, the entire stadium was boiling! The mages and heroes across various worlds were all bewildered and astonished by this scene that looked like something out of a sci-fi movie.
They had never seen such a strange and shocking transformation and stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what was happening before them.

[Flat: ??? BerserCar? Isn't that a pun?]
[Waver: How did Berserker turn into a car? This is too buggy!]
[Tohsaka Rin: Why do I feel like this BerserCar looks so much like a tank? The more I look, the more it resembles one.]
[Emiya Kiritsugu: No need to look, it's definitely a tank, and a rather unconventional one at that.]
[Emiya Shirou: Speaking of the Fifth Holy Grail War, shouldn't the Heroic King be there? Why isn't he?]
Just as everyone was discussing, the competition in the light curtain was about to begin.
After seeing Berserker transform into this tank, Rin Tohsaka immediately started complaining furiously: "Hey, dare you do that again?" Her voice was full of mockery and excitement.
Hearing Rin Tohsaka's words, Illya also showed an enigmatic smile, as if she was full of anticipation for the direction of this race.
By this time, all the spectators had taken their seats, eagerly awaiting the start of the race.
The racers were all ready and appeared at the starting point. The female host's voice sounded again, full of passion and vitality: "Okay, the contestants are all in position!"
"Mr. Kotomine, I can imagine it will be a fierce battle! What do you think?" The female host turned to Kotomine Kirei, looking forward to his response.
Kotomine Kirei smiled slightly and said some polite words: "The financial situations of the Mage's Association and the Holy Church are quite tight. I hope the scope of damage can be minimized!"
His words held a hint of helplessness but were also filled with expectation and optimism for the race.
As Kotomine Kirei's words fell, the race officially kicked off.
The audience held their breath, anticipating that this car race full of creativity and surprises would bring endless joy and excitement.
The roar of the engines was deafening, instantly shattering the tranquility of the stadium!
All these racing cars, including Shirou and Saber's seemingly inconspicuous rocking car, started at that moment and shot forward like arrows from a bow!
Swoosh!
Lancer's F1 car was like a flash of lightning, instantly stirring up clouds of white smoke, taking the lead and rushing to the front, setting the pace for the entire race!
The female host's voice sounded again, full of excitement and thrill: "All cars start at the same time!"
"The one rushing to the front at super high speed is..." She paused for a moment, then announced loudly, "Lancer's Gae-BolCar!"
At this time, Cu Chulainn, already dressed in a racing driver's suit, said confidently: "Sorry! Watch, I'll finish you all in one go!"
His voice was full of desire and confidence for victory.
And Emiya Shirou, looking at Lancer's F1 car and then at his and Saber's slightly shabby rocking car, couldn't help but feel dissatisfied and envious.
"That guy!!" he muttered under his breath, jealous of Lancer's superior conditions.
However, Cu Chulainn in the F1 car didn't care about others' thoughts at all. He was completely immersed in this world of speed, enjoying the endless pleasure brought by the F1 car.
"Great, my Gae-BolCar!!" he cheered loudly, his voice full of love and praise for the car.
"This speed is so cool!" he continued to shout, as if to release all the joy and excitement in his heart.
Unfortunately, Lancer's car was a rocket car. Rocket cars are indeed fast in a straight line, but they have a fatal flaw.
Rocket car—can't turn!
So, Lancer crashed directly on the curve. The violent explosion immediately announced that Lancer had become the first contestant to be eliminated.
Before everyone could sigh, a new exciting moment appeared in the light curtain's race.
The pink luxury car team composed of Rin Tohsaka and Red Archer, and the honeymoon trip team composed of Caster (Medea) and Teacher Soichiro (Kuzuki), began a fierce competition.
And the chariot transformed by Berserker actually revealed its weapons and started attacking other players.
The sound of bang bang bang continued incessantly. BerserCar was like a mobile turret, constantly firing shells.
And Illya, sitting on top, seemed extremely excited about this sudden attack. She laughed happily, as if she had found new fun.
At this moment, a sudden voice broke through the noise of the stadium.
["In my city, in my competition, 'tasteless things' are not allowed."]
Then, a strange name was called out: "Meatball Tumbler!"
Hearing this name, Illya was also stunned. She turned her head curiously, wanting to see who was speaking.
When she saw Gilgamesh riding a golden motorcycle and appearing on the rock wall of the highway, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
And Gilgamesh just proudly scanned the cars ahead and said coldly, "I won't let any of the cars ahead of me get away."
After saying this, Gilgamesh suddenly lifted the front of the motorcycle. The entire motorcycle seemed to come to life, flying directly and chasing the cars ahead.
After Gilgamesh made the motorcycle fly, he locked onto Illya and BerserCar, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination.
["Bind him! Enkidu!"]
As his voice fell, BerserCar was directly locked by the Chains of Heaven and was eventually forced to stop.
Gilgamesh seized this opportunity and drove the motorcycle past Illya's group.
["Shoot him! BerserCar!!"]
Illya ordered urgently, but BerserCar made a whining sound, obviously unable to respond to her command.
Bang!! A loud noise was heard. BerserCar, locked by the Chains of Heaven, exploded due to the forced energy buildup, flames and smoke billowing.
Gilgamesh turned his head and laughed at this scene: "Ha! It blew itself up!" His laughter was full of ridicule and contempt.
"This ending is really suitable for you, an ugly muscle monster!"
After that, the race became even more intense. Rider, riding a bicycle, was far ahead thanks to his A+ Riding skill!
Unfortunately, Rider seemed incompatible with this modern vehicle and became a vehicle killer. He crashed into the guardrail and flew high into the air!
At this moment, the race was nearing its end. The leading team was the Gilgamesh team, followed closely by the Red Archer and Rin Tohsaka team.
Just when everyone present thought the champion would emerge from these two groups, a melodious sound suddenly rang out!
Altria, holding onto the rocking car, had actually caught up, and its shocking speed was still increasing!
Rin Tohsaka said in shock: "How can a rocking car be so fast?"
Gilgamesh also looked incredulous.
At the coin slot of the rocking car, Emiya Shirou spoke with tears streaming down his face.
["I took out the fixed deposit!"]
["Saber and I will have to eat rice with tea for every meal from now on!"]
With these words, Emiya Shirou inserted coins into the rocking car with a hand speed he had never shown in his life!
At this critical moment, the Lion rushed forward at an astonishing speed, quickly approaching Rin Tohsaka's classic car and Gilgamesh's motorcycle.
In the blink of an eye, the three cars were already running side by side, forming a shocking spectacle.
At this moment, Taiga's voice became extremely excited, and he shouted loudly: "So fast, Lion!!"
His tone was full of amazement and praise for the Lion's speed.
"It caught up and is gradually closing in!"
Taiga continued to comment, his voice revealing tension and expectation. "Tied! Tied!!"
The three cars formed a straight line almost simultaneously, the distance between them so close they could almost touch each other.
This fierce competition made the entire stadium boil.
However, Gilgamesh felt unprecedented humiliation. He couldn't accept that his motorcycle was caught up by a seemingly insignificant rocking car.
He roared angrily: "Damn it, King of Britain!!" His voice was full of resentment and fury.
And Rin Tohsaka was also dissatisfied with the Lion catching up to her. She gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it!" Then she suddenly stepped on the accelerator, trying to shake off the Lion's pursuit.
However, what responded to them were the shouts of Emiya Shirou and Altria. As the finish line approached, the video of the entire race began to slow down, as if to let people feel the tension and intensity of the race more clearly.
During this slowed-down time, Gilgamesh, taking advantage of the motorcycle's body, gained a slight lead.
At that decisive moment, Emiya Shirou's voice suddenly sounded, filled with firm determination: "Trace on!"
With his call, a dazzling long sword instantly materialized in his hand, shining with a brilliant light.
Emiya Shirou raised the long sword forward without hesitation, as if announcing his victory to everyone.
This long sword, created by projection magecraft, not only carried Emiya Shirou's will and strength but also became a symbol of speed at this moment.
Astonishingly, this long sword actually surpassed the golden motorcycle and Rin Tohsaka's old car at an incredible speed. It rushed directly to the finish line like lightning splitting the sky.
Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Emiya Shirou and Altria's Lion, guided by this projected long sword, successfully reached the finish line first!
Their victory was not only the ultimate display of speed and skill but also the best interpretation of faith and persistence.
At this moment, the noise on the field seemed to freeze, leaving only the cheers of Emiya Shirou and Altria's victory and the applause of shock and admiration from the audience.
With the end of the race, the light curtain also darkened.
At this moment, due to the overwhelming number of absurdities, all the audience members were momentarily at a loss for words.
However, it was certain that this Holy Grail War with racing as its theme had been deeply engraved in the minds of all the viewers.
[Bullet Comments]
[Emiya Shirou: I didn't expect to win in the end like this, but my savings—!! (Wailing)]
[Waver: What can I say? It's hard to describe, but the entertainment value was definitely top-notch.]
[Zhuge Kongming: This is getting crazier and crazier.]
[Merlin: Isn't that good? It's interesting once in a while.]
Just as everyone was discussing, the darkened light curtain in the sky flickered again.
Along with the flickering of the light curtain, a new title appeared.
[Virtue - Devotion]
[Introverted, tough, passive, lacks tension, frivolous king.]
[He can only make tough speeches, but is essentially a coward. He is very good at judging people, making laws, and governing the country.]
[Although he lacks some courage, he is a wise, kind, and loving king.]
[Born to be a king - Solomon - Romani Archaman.]
As this long list of titles appeared, all the audience members were shocked.
First, let's not talk about the content, just the length—this was the longest title ever!
Moreover, the content of this title was truly shocking.
To receive the title of "Devotion" and be evaluated as "born to be a king" was incredible.
[Bullet Comments]
[Waver: I roughly understand—the Chaldean Romani Archaman is actually Solomon!]
[Fujimaru Ritsuka: Dr. Roman...]
[Gilgamesh: Hmph, 'born to be a king.' Daring to describe yourself like that in front of me, isn't that a bit too arrogant?!]
[Emiya Kiritsugu: I'm curious about what he did to deserve the evaluation of 'Devotion.' You know, neither Cú Chulainn Alter nor Senji Muramasa, who sacrificed themselves to forge the holy sword, received such an evaluation!]
