Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 264 to the beginning

"That sir... you personally took action...?" Tokiomi trembled with excitement.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, Tokiomi understood that the biggest threat had been eliminated.

"call..

""

Tokiomi let out a long sigh of relief, trying to calm the agitation in his heart.

He knew it wasn't time to rest yet.

Although the Greater Grail system was not detonated, it remains in an extremely unstable state.

The large hole overhead is still there, and the black mud is still flowing.

If the connection isn't severed immediately, the crisis could return at any moment.

"Berserker, please protect me."

Tokiomi quickly adjusted his mindset and regained his elegant and calm demeanor as the head of the family.

He walked to the center of the altar and inserted his staff into the core of the place where the dirty inkstone had originally been.

"I'm about to begin dismantling the Greater Grail's spell. This process requires an extremely high level of concentration and must not be disturbed."

"Leave it to me!"

Haiyan patted her chest, her body tattered but her spirits high: "As long as I don't fall, not a single fly can get in!"

Tokiomi nodded, closed his eyes, and channeled his magic into the ground.

"System connection...starting parsing..."

'

His consciousness followed the magical pathways and entered the vast and complex Greater Grail system.

This is a magnificent project built by the three founding families over hundreds of years, and its complexity is comparable to the neural network of the human brain.

To dismantle it safely in a short time is like walking a tightrope over a cliff; one could fall at any moment.

Tokiomi was prepared for a protracted war, and even for sacrifice.

but..

When his consciousness truly entered the core of the system, he was stunned.

"This...this is..."

...?

In his perception, the core system, which should have been a tangled mess, filled with various encryption techniques and defensive traps...

It suddenly became incredibly smooth.

Those most intractable deadlocks, those most dangerous self-destruct mechanisms, those difficult points that would normally require him to spend hours cracking.

They were all unlocked beforehand!

Or rather, it was directly straightened out by some higher-level force.

The entire Greater Grail system was like a precision clock whose outer shell had been removed, revealing its core components, and it was quietly waiting for him to press the stop button.

He could sense that within the remaining traces of the technique lay a masterful touch, as if it were a casual scribble.

"Was this also...the work of that lord?"

The shock in Tokiomi's heart was beyond words.

That's something only someone with an ultimate understanding of the demonic path, someone who has even transcended the rules, could do.

"It's...too perfect."

Tokiomi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

With this paved road, what was once an almost impossible task is now as simple as a primary school student's homework.

"In that case, I shall respectfully comply."

Tokiomi took a deep breath and unleashed his full magical power.

"The Heaven's Feel, which carries countless dreams and grievances..."

"In my name, in the name of the Tohsaka family head, I command you..."

...force stop!

With a command, all the magical circuits within the underground void simultaneously lit up with blinding light, and then, in the same instant...

It was completely extinguished.

on the ground.

The three most powerful forces finally converged.

"EnumaElish, the Star of Heaven and Earth's Demise!!!"

"Ecalibur, the Sword of Victory and Oath!!!"

"The Avici Hell!!!"

A crimson storm, a stream of brilliant golden light, and infernal flames of black and red.

Three distinct energies, yet all equally capable of destroying everything, intertwined, entangled, and merged in the air.

Finally, it transformed into a three-colored beam of light powerful enough to pierce through the stars, and slammed into the huge hole in the sky!

There is no sound.

Because sound could no longer transmit this terrifying energy.

A terrifyingly long vacuum zone was cleaved open between heaven and earth.

All that remained was a vast expanse of white light.

Within that light, one could almost hear the wails of countless vengeful spirits, and the final, unwilling roar of malice from the one named Angra Mainyu.

【Damn it!!!】

I curse you all! I curse this world!!!

But his curse was utterly powerless in the face of the combined absolute power of these three heroic spirits.

The enormous cavity began to tremble violently under the bombardment of the beam of light, and its edges began to collapse and shatter rapidly.

This strike, which pierced through the stars, even caused the heavens to crumble.

His large, mud-covered hand was evaporated the moment it crawled out of the hole, leaving not a trace.

All the malice connecting to the outside world was forcibly broken down and digested by this force!

I'm not reconciled! I'm so unwilling to accept this!!!

Rumble rumble rumble—! !!!

The long-awaited explosion finally erupted.

A terrifying shockwave swept across the entire city of Fuyuki, blowing away the clouds and flattening the land.

Ryudo-ji Temple was completely reduced to ruins, and even a section of the summit of Enzang Mountain was cut off.

A violent tremor shook the city, and the residents, already on edge due to the fighting that night, frantically sought shelter.

However, because the Holy Grail system was no longer connected, the terrifying explosion ultimately did not affect the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City.

Although damage occurred, it was contained within a limited scope.

"It's a success..." Artoria gasped for breath, stunned as she sensed the strange movements of the heavens and earth.

"Those two guys did a good job." Gilgamesh smiled with satisfaction and put the sword Ea back into the vault.

Yes.

ended.

When the light fades, when the dust settles.

That menacing void has disappeared.

Above, the night sky was clear and bright, a sight not seen for a long time, with a bright, clear moon shining down.

"it's over?"

The violet peeked out from behind a boulder, staring blankly at the sky.

There was no more black mud, no more malice, only twinkling stars.

"Ah...it's over."

Asuka, leaning on her Zanpakuto which had reverted to its Asauchi form, stood amidst the ruins, gazing up at the moon with a weary but relieved smile.

Kiritsugu looked at the clear sky, and a light finally appeared in his eyes.

"The Holy Grail... has disappeared?"

He originally thought that only destruction could end it all.

I never imagined it would end like this...

"Alice..."

'

He looked up into the air.

With the shutdown of the Greater Grail system, the cocoon of light that bound Irisviel also shattered.

Her figure slowly drifted down.

Although he remained unconscious and his body was still somewhat transparent, the terrifying signs of assimilation had disappeared.

She actually survived?

Kiritsugu Emiya could hardly believe the result.

As an artificial human, Irisviel's soul and body have long been deeply integrated with the Einzbern-made magical structure.

Its existence is inherently intertwined with the Greater Grail system.

Without the Greater Grail, she should have perished, so how could she...?

Ignoring his own injuries, he stumbled forward and caught Irisviel as she fell.

"Alice...Alice..."

This man, who hadn't shed a tear in a long time, now held his wife tightly, tears streaming down his face.

He risked everything, even prepared to sacrifice her.

But in the end, fate gave him a miraculous turn of events.

"That's great..." Artoria looked at this scene and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

Although there were no victors in this war, and although her wish was not fulfilled.

But at least, she protected this small piece of happiness in front of her.

This could be considered... upholding chivalry, right?

In the crack of time and space, the Gem Elder nodded in satisfaction at everything before him.

"It wasn't for nothing that I went to all that trouble to peel off her mark..."

"Although this might affect lifespan a bit, at least I survived, right? Hehe."
