He'd rather Finn end the fight sooner than Diarmuid.
Finn's situation is getting increasingly dire; the landscape has completely changed after Gilgamesh unleashed the Chains of Heaven.
Finn's inherent abilities do not include divinity, but he still possesses demigod blood. Even if his ability to counter her is not as strong as it is against Hercules, who has the status of a demigod, it is by no means as simple as just strong chains.
To evade the Chains of Heaven's pursuit, he even had to endure attacks from several Noble Phantasms.
Thanks to his excellent martial arts skills and intelligence, he was able to minimize damage, but once the minor injuries accumulated, his defeat was inevitable.
But Aizen wasn't in a hurry at all; in fact, he seemed to be enjoying the show.
"You're quite capable, managing to hold out for so long even with the Chains of Heaven deployed. But that's about all you're capable of."
Gilgamesh crossed his arms, his haughty expression now tinged with approval.
Yes, it means approval.
Finn didn't have the protection of the Great Dog; he relied entirely on his own abilities to deal with the rain of Noble Phantasms and the Chains of Heaven. Any normal person could see that this famous Finn was at least one level above all the Heroic Spirits who had demonstrated their martial arts skills so far.
Finn, with a headache, swung his spear again to break the Chains of Heaven, muttering under his breath, "I guess I have no choice but to use my Noble Phantasm."
"Just do whatever you have to offer."
Gilgamesh, with his sharp ears, didn't care at all and spouted nonsense.
Finn has a considerable number of Noble Phantasms, but unfortunately, only one is used in direct combat.
Finn's Noble Phantasm is definitely powerful, and the level of a Noble Phantasm doesn't entirely indicate its threat level. However, Finn's spear might not be strong enough to take on Gilgamesh.
His "Purple xxx Grass" is derived from creation myths.
It was achieved through the slaying of a god.
This alone shows a difference, let alone the fact that it was a fallen god.
Although this spear is a magical spear, it didn't originally have this name. It was named after Finn's beloved sword when it was sublimated into a Noble Phantasm.
The magic spear itself is far inferior to holy swords like Excalibur, which possessed boundless power from the start. Even though those holy swords, like the Excalibur, didn't receive much enhancement after being upgraded to Noble Phantasms, they had a rich foundation.
Finn's magical spear has many abilities, but its power is relatively average. It was only through his god-slaying exploits that he was elevated to the power of the God of War and God King, earning him a rating of "about right."
Aizen, his eyes bright, murmured to himself, chuckling as he raised his wrist: "Use a Command Spell to enhance Clairvoyance! Use a Command Spell to enhance Finn's Spirit Origin!"
Jeanne's pupils dilated, and she looked at Aizen in disbelief: "You actually know about Spirit Origins!"
The true forms of Heroic Spirits are generally not easily revealed, even when humanity is destroyed; they will only appear in weakened form as Servants.
As a vessel, it is called "Spiritual Foundation".
The thing that is, a Heroic Spirit with a Grand Spirit Origin is a Grand Heroic Spirit. In terms of the Heroic Spirit itself, a Grand Heroic Spirit is not necessarily stronger than a non-Grand Heroic Spirit, however, the Spirit Origin itself has its limits.
The Spirit itself is also a manifestation of the Third Law.
Despite the fact that the Holy Grail War has occurred several times, being able to summon a Heroic Spirit and knowing about Spirit Origins are two different things.
Kenneth himself is a top-tier master of spirit summoning, but without the qualifications granted by the Holy Grail War, he wouldn't be able to summon Heroic Spirits. Ultimately, someone who isn't a Heroic Spirit and doesn't understand the Third Law shouldn't normally know about "Spirit Origin."
Only because of its existence.
Joan of Arc wasn't the only one surprised.
As the person directly involved, Finn felt it most deeply.
The magical effect of a single Command Seal pales in comparison to that of an entire Holy Grail, but its magical power is still enough to loosen many of the limitations of Finn's body.
Almost instantly, Finn's movements changed; the Noble Phantasm he was about to unleash suddenly stopped. "Spirit Origin, hmph."
Gilgamesh glanced deeply at Aizen, then his hand involuntarily reached for the golden aura.
Finn, whose clairvoyance had been enhanced, briefly glimpsed the future, and the heavy pressure he had been under instantly vanished, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
"A strike that can slaughter even fallen gods—experience it for yourself."
"The invincible purple xxx herb!"

Chapter 499 A Bizarre Repetition, Gilgamesh Defeated? 4/4
The rushing water made everyone present feel a strong sense of dampness.
The water that converges at the tip of the spear is no ordinary water, but rather the "Law of Water" governed by the divine ancestor Nuada.
Its materialization possesses a power sufficient to tear the earth apart.
"Seven Rings of Blazing Sky!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Gilgamesh summoned the Lotus Shield.
Finn's power is stronger after his Spirit Origin is upgraded. Even though the level of his Noble Phantasm itself has not increased, Finn is able to make him leave the stage before he can draw his weapon and analyze the world.
Bang! The vibrant cherry blossoms collided with the passionate blue.
The roaring torrent of water crashed against the beautiful petals, and the sound of them breaking echoed.
The petals, possessing the defensive capabilities of an ancient city, ultimately could not withstand the impact of the god-king's power. Fortunately, they bought Gilgamesh enough time.
"Hmph, let me show you my most precious treasure."
"Heaven and Earth diverge, the star of creation begins!!!"
The Hero King, holding aloft the sword Ea, came into view the instant the Lotus Shield shattered. The strangely shaped Ea, radiating a crimson glow, distorted space and time.
The supreme power that cleaved the world was unleashed with a radiant burst of light as the arm swung down.
The all-encompassing hurricane tore apart everything in its path; in the present world, if not for the restraining force, the power of this sword would be enough to destroy the earth.
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the crimson light shattered Finn's Noble Phantasm with overwhelming force upon impact, and the surging torrent was easily annihilated as if it were a mere supporting character.
No one knows whether Finn's Noble Phantasm was weakened by the Sevenfold Rings of the Heavenly Blaze, or whether it was never truly radiant to begin with.
And so, the sword of Ea: irresistibly engulfed Finn's figure.
Joan of Arc was not surprised by this result; Gilgamesh, hailed as the pinnacle of Heroic Spirits, was no mere figurehead.
While Finn in life might not have been able to match Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh as a Heroic Spirit after death was far superior to a mere Finn.
She felt a little regretful, though; if Finn had listened to her advice and allowed the disobedient Servants to withdraw from the battle, she wouldn't have had to forcefully start a chaotic battle to clean up the situation.
But just as she looked at "Kenneth"
But then he couldn't help but pause in surprise.
He was actually smiling. The faint smile on his lips seemed so out of place in this setting that Joan of Arc felt extremely awkward.
Click.
The cracking sound, seemingly coming from nowhere, appeared to have flipped a switch.
A familiar voice rang in everyone's ears once again: "The invincible Purple xxx Grass!!!"
The torrent surged from the other side, crushing towards Gilgamesh who had unleashed Ea. This sudden turn of events seemed to have caught everyone off guard, even those who had just defeated their "opponent."
Even Gilgamesh, who had shown a hint of joy, was taken aback.
The sense of crisis between life and death made him instinctively pull on the Ea sword, which was gradually losing its power: he pulled it slightly, and the aftershocks slightly blocked his way, but he was still inevitably hit by the torrent and thrown away, directly piercing through the Einzbern castle.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The collapsed buildings turned into ruins, and Gilgamesh, with blood dripping from his mouth, looked as if he were questioning the meaning of life.
At that moment, no one realized what had happened.
"why"
The golden armor shattered, and Gilgamesh weakly raised his head.
Yes, why is everyone so tempted? What exactly happened just now?
They seemed to see Finn unleash his Noble Phantasm twice, but Finn was clearly annihilated and eliminated in the first collision of the Noble Phantasms.
No, this must be related to him! Jeanne's gaze was fixed on Aizen, who was smiling but whose expression remained unchanged, and a vague unease welled up in her heart.
Suddenly, Artoria, who had paused her battle, roared in fury and anguish: "Aili!!!"
The awakened crowd looked over and discovered that Irisviel, who had been hiding to the side earlier, was lying in a pool of blood, her life hanging in the balance. Her body, like a rag doll, looked as if it had been torn to pieces. The ripped body and the broken ground around it all looked like she had been unfortunately hit by the aftershocks of the Ea sword.
"What exactly happened?"
Sora whispered.
Normally, Irisviel's position shouldn't be affected by the aftershocks, and the location of the previous wave wasn't close to that area either.
Otherwise, if it were aftereffect damage, it should be the Purple Grass that was attacked first that caused the damage, not the Divergent Sword.
""
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Joan of Arc's stern expression grew increasingly grim; she believed that her negligence had led to the death of one of them.
Normally, it wouldn't be hard to understand if a few Masters died in the Holy Grail War, but since she started this battle, and someone else had to pay the price, she had to take responsibility for it.
Turning his head to face Jeanne, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent, Aizen deliberately gave her a meaningful smile, which only fueled her anger.
"Use the Command Spell to heal its injuries!"
Suppressing her resentment, Joan of Arc directly used one Command Spell to help Gilgamesh recover.
A faint glow appeared on the golden surface, and Finn, noticing this, didn't hesitate to finish off the attacker.
Swish! An even richer, holy radiance unfolded beneath the banner.
"My lord is here!!!"
A clear, sweet shout erupted as Jeanne d'Arc, who had stepped in front of Finn, unleashed her Noble Phantasm.
Ripples spread out, but Finn's attack failed to shake Joan of Arc's defense in the slightest.
Ugh, such a hassle, like a tortoise shell.
With these thoughts in mind, Finn still took the initiative to step back a short distance.
With Joan of Arc buying him some time, Gilgamesh recovered somewhat, making it impossible for him to press his advantage.
Since he didn't leave the field immediately, the healing he received before his body collapsed saved Gilgamesh's life. He also survived a direct hit from a high-level anti-army Noble Phantasm thanks to the power of the last part of Ea.
But the restored Hero King showed no gratitude to his savior. He staggered to his feet and walked past her with a gloomy expression.
What exactly happened just now?
"Isn't it obvious? I just hit you."
"Do you know what I'm talking about!"
Finn shrugged, and casually said to the emotionally unstable Gilgamesh, "Don't question me, there are some things I'm not entirely clear about either."
"Ha, what a boring answer."
After a moment of contemplation, Gilgamesh calmed down completely, though his tone remained somewhat unyielding.
After calming down, he roughly guessed what had happened.
Finn's Noble Phantasm is an anti-army Noble Phantasm; even if that magical spear had other effects, it couldn't possibly cause such a bizarre situation.
The only truly abrupt thing from beginning to end was "Kenney".
Of the two Command Seals, the one that raises one's Spirit Origin is self-explanatory, but the effect of the other Command Seal is quite intriguing.
Gilgamesh, who possesses clairvoyance in his own body, understands the effects of this ability better than anyone else.
Anyone who upgrades their clairvoyance to a higher level will have a certain degree of foresight into the future, even if that extremely short-lived effect can only be applied in combat. But that effect is still amazing enough.
Just like Katakuri's Observation Haki in One Piece, which allows him to foresee the future, he can change many things by seeing only a certain fragment.
In other words, Finn had already foreseen some changes and simply capitalized on them to defeat him.

What caused this? His crimson eyes swept over someone, but that person still wore a calm smile.
Without hesitation, Gilgamesh took out one special Noble Phantasm after another from the Gate of Babylon and released them.
Even though he didn't bring the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star this time, there were still some Noble Phantasms in his treasury that he knew the true names of, and he used them one by one to remove curses, poisons, and other negative effects.
Seeing this, Aizen's smile didn't fade at all; instead, it became somewhat expectant.
He believed that the special Noble Phantasm that this...King of Heroes could remember must be of a high level; he wouldn't be surprised if it were one of them. He was more interested in seeing if this king could break free from his Mirror Flower Water Moon technique.
