The male twin of the Fujimura's simply stared in awe at the destruction that the newly-summoned Servant had caused. He should've known that he was on par– if not greater – with Quetzalcoatl, who had been summoned without using another person as a Vessel. And considering that he was one of the most powerful gods in the Mesopotamian pantheon, along with holding providence over water and was also the creator of Mankind, then Gudao really should've expected that Enki was overpoweringly broken.
"And that's the gun", the newly-summoned Ruler-class Servant stated, twirling his gun once before holstering it in a single move. He made it look so easy. "…Also, the output was far lower than expected. So this is what you get when you're summoned in a Class container, huh…? Just sad."
Gudao simply smiled, not even mentioning the fact that the gun responsible for fifteen breached walls in Chaldea was not even in its strongest form, nor was even a Noble Phantasm. Instead, he simply ticked off another box in his checklist, and proceeded with the events as if nothing had happened. "Alright, now that it's done, can you show us your Noble Phantasm, please?"
"Huh?" Enki replied, his face laced with genuine confusion as he raised a brow at Gudao. "Shouldn't you be able to access them easily? I mean, you're a Master, so you could just easily see through my stats, right?"
"Well…" Gudao had already tried before, but he had done so just after summoning, so having most of his prana drained might have some effects on his vision. Focusing his newly-recovered prana through his body, he searched out the link towards Enki…and started reading him.

"Well, there are some skills that I can't seem to read as of the moment, along with your stat in Noble Phantasms", Gudao pursed his lips, thinking of a familiar Servant with the same parameter for their Noble Phantasm. Could Enki possess a Reality Marble…or at least, a stronger derivative of one? But his current Noble Phantasm is an Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm unlike an Anti-Army one that Reality Marbles usually have…does the skill [Fire-Forged Bonds] have something to do with it? "But as for the rest, I do think that they're fine."
Needless to say, he wasn't going to comment on what [Sorcerer of the First] meant. He was going to stay tight-lipped about it, and so would his twin sister. If news got out…then it would be a bloodbath at the Association. "But, I do have a single question", Gudao asked, and upon a quirk of Enki's brow, he did so, "What does your [Fire-Forged Bonds] do?"
Enki hummed, raising a hand to his chin as his singular amethyst eye narrowed, before glancing towards Gudao in the process. "Permission to speak my own mind?" He asked, and Gudao nodded. "Well to be honest, I'm still a little bit suspicious about this whole 'saving Humanity from the Singularities' plot that you have going on here. I might change my mind the longer I stay here, but for now I'm still watching everything with a close eye."
Gudao sighed. At least he knows what the skill was supposed to do. If Enki was voluntarily withholding his power until Chaldea manages to prove themselves, then he needed to make sure that Enki would always be on the front lines. To see what they were currently fighting for.
"…Well, to be honest, I would do the same thing if I were in your position", he simply replied, making Enki smile as the Divine Spirit turned towards Gudao with a shine in his ethereal amethyst eye.
"I do think that this would be the start of a productive relationship, Master."

"Let me kill him."
"Saber, you can't."
EMIYA sighed, struggling in vain as he was dragged alongside the King of Knights in her rampage through Chaldea. It would seem like the Divine Spirit was at it again, making things worse for everybody in the long run. To actually put laxative into Arturia's meal…if Enki hadn't been anything less but a Divine Spirit, then he would surely have been eliminated the moment that he had suggested the idea.
But he kept said prank to himself, and thus no one could immediately murder him due to the cause of lacking a few brain cells. Breakfast came and went, with Enki floating outside of the walls and snickering at the current scenario, and most of them hadn't paid any mind to the Divine Spirit…that was, until the King of Knights had noticed that someone had snuck a laxative in her food. Spiritual laxative.
In all honesty, the Counter Guardian wanted to kill Enki as well. No one tampered with his meals and got out of it alive. And if Gudao had told him that the Divine Spirit might possibly have a Reality Marble as well? Then he would see which one of them had the better soulscape.
"Archer, you of all people must know on how despicable that fiend's actions are", Arturia said, immediately whirling around and affixing him with a stern glare. It was a glare that reminded him of his past life, back when he was nothing more than a young man caught up in an event that was completely beyond him. "Laxatives are the enemy. We need to find that…that bastard and lop off his head."
He sighed, releasing an exasperated sigh as he continued on following her along, to make sure that she didn't accidentally murder anyone. Truly, he was having mixed feelings about this. Not only did the Divine Spirit actually sneak into his room just when he was about to sleep, but actually force-fed him some memories of an Emiya Shirou that had been averted from his terrible fate.
…No, one could say that the visage of Emiya Shirou that his memories were currently affixed on was not the Emiya Shirou that he had known. The boy in front of him…he wasn't aiming to be a [Hero of Justice]. No, what this Emiya Shirou– no, what this Masamune Shirou was doing was aiming to be a [Blacksmith that Surpasses the Gods]. And considering that said version of himself was currently apprenticing under Enki of all people…
Truly, he didn't know as to whether or not to despise or thank the Divine Spirit.
It was just that he had many harrowing events in regards to Divine Spirits themselves. He had nearly blown-up when Ishtar and Ereshkigal were summoned, taking the body of his most trusted friend (lover? His girlfriend's sister?) in the process. Only by Gudako's Command Seal had he been able to calm down and see reason. And it was only after a long time that he had begun accepting their presences here in Chaldea.
But Enki…he hadn't had an ounce of idea as to what he actually is, but Arturia referred to him as the second coming of Merlin. A prankster that held a touch of viciousness, but one that never ultimately harmed, except for some of the pompous asses that had a stick up their asses (*cough*Gilgamesh*cough*Ozymandias*cough*) in Chaldea. And considering his heritage as Humanity's benefactor as well as the one that forged the sword that had plunged the world into a worldwide flood…
His face paled.
By the gods, he was facing another Ilya.
