Shinomiya Kaguya was truly wronged when Scáthach effortlessly captured her earlier.
Gilgamesh wasn't present, and even though she had cleared her tracks and hidden, she was discovered so easily.
Just as she hesitated whether to use a Command Seal to urgently recall Gilgamesh, Scáthach had already cut down the obstructing Hassan of the Hundred Faces like slicing vegetables, aiming the unavoidable Gáe Bolg Alternative at the hearts of Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai.
Victory was secured with a surprise attack.
This is only a Level 3 match!
It's Time Stop again, and prophecy, it feels like playing a bronze match with a smurf account, just about to solo kill the opponent's Old Master, but then the opponent's Old Master flashes and pulls you under the tower, ultimate binds you, and you get killed by the tower, then your teammates tell you "if you can't beat them, retreat under the tower, wait for me to gank"—that feeling of powerlessness.
Fortunately, Scáthach, who succeeded in the surprise attack, had no intention of recalling to base to taunt.
If it were Kiritsugu Emiya, he would definitely kill Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai right now, directly eliminating them, but it just so happened to be Scáthach, who wanted to have a proper fight. So, the opponent Scáthach disliked, Hassan of the Hundred Faces, was forcibly recalled and executed, while Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai gained the right to survive and continue fighting with Gilgamesh.
At this Moment, Shinomiya Kaguya only felt that her output environment was so favorable. Seeing Kisaragi Rin, she didn't bother with any formalities, only wanting to vent all the vexations of the past few days.
"I will use one Command Seal to unseal one of my Skills - Time Zero!"
"I will use one Command Seal to unseal one of my Skills - Lock-on!"
Mana surged like a tangible force, and two Command Seals were directly released on Shinomiya Kaguya's hand.

After receiving intelligence about Steve Rogers, Shinomiya Kaguya knew that her opponent possessed five Heroic Spirits and the power of Time Stop, yet she still felt she had a chance to fight. Her own foundation would certainly not be weak.
Two Skills, four Special Effects—all were carefully chosen and matched by Shinomiya Kaguya, and they were especially compatible with Gilgamesh's fighting style.
That's why after summoning Gilgamesh, Shinomiya Kaguya felt confident.
Even now, Shinomiya Kaguya never felt that she would definitely lose this battle.
"First, defeat Kisaragi and this woman, then counter-kill Scáthach, and finally win the championship, making Kisaragi cry and beg for his life..."
A beautiful ending was already forming in Shinomiya Kaguya's mind, and then she saw Scáthach calmly walk past her with a spear.
She softly said, "Don't think about defeating Kisaragi Rin and backstabbing me, because you can't beat him at all."
The Skill [Foresight of the Dog] flashed in Scáthach's eyes. Due to Kisaragi's anti-prophecy, trying to predict him or those around him yielded very limited results. Scáthach chose to predict herself and Gilgamesh as opponents, and in most of the futures Scáthach observed for her own side, they ended in death.
But isn't this what she was looking forward to?
Behind her calm, water-like eyes, a burning fighting spirit was hidden. This future had completely excited Scáthach.
So much so that she had completely overlooked her initial intention to witness the arrow shot by Gilgamesh.
Because they didn't know what Command Seals had been added to Gilgamesh and Scáthach by the players, Kisaragi and Yukinoshita Yukino hadn't determined their combat combination, only waiting to probe and see the specific situation.
But there was no need to probe anymore. When the domain of [Time Zero] spread, the first to act was Gilgamesh.
"What an interesting power."
King's Treasure appeared around her, and hundreds of Noble Phantasms were aimed at Medusa and Esdeath.
From Gilgamesh's perspective, after the domain called [Time Zero] spread, everyone in the space seemed to be lagging. Esdeath's initial ice attack, Medea's shadows spreading into space, and Medusa's snake kiss behind her... everything was so slow, so slow that Gilgamesh felt a bit arrogant again.
Then she saw Scáthach break free from her own time, turn at Divine Speed, and glance at her.
"..."
Gilgamesh also understood the dumbfounded expression Hassan had when he confidently activated [Moment] only to find that Scáthach could keep up.
From the user's perspective, everything within the [Time Zero] domain slows down, but in reality, the flow of time is fixed; only the user's thoughts and body continuously accelerate, thus creating the illusion that others are slowing down.
Kisaragi Rin and Yukinoshita Yukino only felt that they had just seen Shinomiya Kaguya release her Command Seals a Moment ago, and the next Moment, Gilgamesh's King's Treasure had already completed a concentrated attack.
Under the enhancement of [Lock-on], Magic Break and Blood Devour caused significant damage to Medusa. Esdeath, due to Noble Chariot having physical damage immunity and being a Berserker herself, did not take much damage.
However, Medusa is now in her Gorgon Judge state, and Gorgon is, in a sense, a terrifying Demon God with immortality.
Inherent Skill - Self-Regeneration activated, and Medusa's injuries began to heal.
Because Gilgamesh was too fast, Kisaragi Rin couldn't observe Gilgamesh's specific situation, only confirming that it was some kind of time acceleration Skill.
Upon realizing this, Kisaragi Rin pulled Medea to his side and sent her into the Workshop.
Medea, a Caster Class, was still a bit too weak against Gilgamesh and Scáthach. If she were to be 'taken care of' even slightly, it would be difficult for other Heroic Spirits to rescue her under such Divine Speed. It was better to send Medea back to the Workshop and bring her out when needed.
Shinomiya Kaguya, Kisaragi Rin, and Scáthach had already tacitly agreed not to attack each other's Masters. Witnessing Scáthach walking towards them, Yukinoshita Yukino also took out a scabbard from her body and handed it to Saber.
