That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

The power of the Ea symbolizes the original state of the world, before the creation of heaven and earth, when all things and phenomena returned to their essence.

Hall, who was watching from the sidelines, stared at the Ea sword with pain on his face. He covered his eyes with his hands to block out physical vision, and blood seeped from his ears, nose, mouth and eyes.

"Damn it, it's only possible to decipher Ea if the Noble Phantasm is activated under the command seal, but even that's only a possibility."

"Fortunately, the scabbard is still functioning within my body." Despite being somewhat prepared, Hall, who intended to use his Mystic Eyes to analyze Ea, still suffered a considerable shock, and most of his magic circuits nearly collapsed.

Of course, without the protection of the Holy Sword's sheath, Hall would not dare to take the risk lightly.

Emiya Shirou, who possesses the origin of the "sword," can only project Excalibur by destroying his own spirit origin, and he cannot replicate even a trace of the power of Ea.

Not to mention Hall, who doesn't have the Origin attribute bonus.

Boom!

The world-destroying lightning sphere fell, as if the sky had collapsed. The bluish-white lightning pierced through the dark clouds, and the rules between heaven and earth shattered. Countless bolts of lightning transformed into streaks of light and thunder that poured down.

The earth shattered, gravity twisted, the ground first collapsed, and then countless fragments reversed and fell into the sky.

This bolt of heavenly lightning reversed the concept of the world, returning it to chaos, where heaven and earth were no longer distinguishable.

“Master, the power of the Holy Sword is no match for such a monster.” Saber looked at Hall with a serious expression, seeking his opinion. The radiance of the Holy Sword in her hand was like a firefly compared to the world-destroying lightning. The only way she could think of to deal with it was to use the scabbard of the Holy Sword.

Hall shook his head, indicating that it should be handed over to the King of Heroes. Since he had already drawn the sword of Ea, it would be too unromantic to disturb him any further.

The Golden King's lips curled into a pleased smile as he raised the sword Ea and proclaimed loudly, "Worship! Enuma Elish! (Star that opened the world of Ea)!"

The sword that cleaved the world fell, and the swirling winds that cleaved the world rushed towards the giant ball of lightning, engulfing it.

boom!

In an instant, a violent burst of red lightning filled the heavens and the earth. Its essence was a spacetime rift that had been deflected, which devoured everything that came into contact with it.

boom! boom! boom!

The emerald tail of the Radiant Ship was completely shattered, its speed plummeted, and even its hull was torn apart by a spacetime rift. If it weren't for Hall's [Knights Don't Die Bare Hands] Noble Phantasm ability still in effect, it would have turned into a pile of scrap metal the moment it encountered the spacetime rift.

Holy crap!

Hall cursed under his breath, glancing with lingering fear at the spacetime rift that had flashed past him and swallowed the deck of the Radiant Ship. He then slowed the Radiant Ship down, keeping a close watch on any unusual activity around him.

Going too fast is suicidal; a spacetime rift is a cut in space itself, and any matter that collides with it will basically be split in two.

Two ultimate forces surged and trembled, annihilating all things. The space visibly turned pitch black, as if ink had been smeared on a plane called space. There was a void there, which was even closer to the concept of nothingness than imaginary space.

The world is like a blank sheet of paper with two sides: the material world on one side and the void world on the other. The battle between the sword of discord and the bull of heaven pierced the blank sheet of paper, connecting the two worlds, and things from the material world fell into the void world.

After a brief stalemate, as Hall had predicted, the Divergent Sword gained the upper hand. The spacetime turbulence swallowed the massive lightning ball, which struck the sky and hit the head of the Heavenly Bull, crushing it into pieces.

After the power that destroyed the world subsided, all was quiet, and countless golden lights could be seen falling.

"Humph."

The King of Heroes put down the sword Ea and turned to walk toward the throne of the Radiant Ship. As he passed Hall, he said calmly, "The rest is up to you, Magician."

Leave it to me? I guess this Hero King really thinks highly of me.

Hall looked up at the headless Bull of the Sky, whose body still blotted out the sun. Hall could sense that the being called the Bull of the Sky had not been completely destroyed.

"It's not dead yet?"

King Hero sat down, resting his cheek on his hand, and calmly said, "As I have said before, human rules do not apply to it. Ea can stop it for a while, but it cannot completely destroy its existence. As long as it is not destroyed, it can continue to devour the earth to construct its body. That is why Gugalana is the strongest divine beast."

"Unfortunately, I'm human too." Hall shrugged and smiled wryly.

The King of Heroes glanced at Hall with his crimson eyes: "My dearest friend Enkidu believes that humanity has the potential to defeat the gods. Why don't we enjoy this game together, magician?"

Hall pondered for a moment and said, "If you then pay for my losses."

"It doesn't matter. My treasury has as much treasure as I want."

Hall smiled broadly. Alchemists believe in equivalent exchange; the more resources one has, the more one can accomplish.

"Let me borrow something for now."

The deck of the Radiant Ship opened, and a palm-sized ball of light slowly floated up to Hall's front. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the surface of the ball was burning intensely, like a miniature sun.

In fact, calling it a mini sun is not inappropriate. This mini sun is a strategic weapon carried by the Radiant Ship Vimana, an ancient nuclear warhead.

The King of Heroes squinted and said doubtfully, "Although this thing is more powerful than a regular Noble Phantasm, it won't have much of an effect on Gugalana."

"That's because you're using it incorrectly."

"Ha, do you mean you know more about my Noble Phantasm than I do?"

"Enjoy the show, King of Heroes."

Chapter 195 The Goddess Who Dropped the Ball at the Crucial Moment

The statement that the ancient nuclear warheads carried by the Radiant Ship Vimana were used incorrectly is not entirely accurate. Rather, it should be said that they were not developed in depth, much like using a loaded AK as a stick.

Even nuclear weapons are divided into hydrogen bombs and nuclear bombs.

The ancient nuclear warhead was inspired by the concept of the sun, and the raw materials used to construct it were not much different from those used in modern atomic bombs. The difference was that the ancient nuclear warhead was covered with the mysterious concept of magic.

If used as a conventional strategic weapon, the power of this ancient nuclear warhead would be roughly equivalent to that of the Sword of Divergence.

Hall is an alchemist with the ability to alter molecular structures. With the Philosopher's Stone as an aid, he could easily manipulate the sun, just like the little man in a bottle, Homunculus.

The materials, the knowledge—all the conditions for creating the sun are already in place.

Hall used spatial teleportation magic to appear directly above the Bull of the Sky, looking down at its golden body that blended into the clouds. The Bull of the Sky had lost its head and was temporarily unable to move.

The magic eye gleamed as it gazed at the ancient nuclear warhead in its hand, chuckling to itself, "Ancient nuclear warheads are unparalleled in the realm of magic by modern technology. Even if this warhead were detonated using ordinary methods, it would not produce nuclear contamination. It is the perfect weapon of mass destruction."

"However, as the King of Heroes said, mystery weakens or even fails in the face of higher mystery. The mystery of the Vimana legacy of the Radiant Ship is far weaker than that of the Bull of Heaven. The ancient nuclear warhead is not even worth a tickle."

"Fortunately, the Fuyuki City Holy Grail War and the BBA battle also yielded significant gains in terms of magical skills."

"The materials used to construct ancient nuclear warheads are modified a second time, and a concept of the world is added to them."

"Next."

Hall's expression turned solemn as he extended his right hand and commanded, "In the name of Holmonx, issue the first Command Seal: Maximize the supply of magic power."

A crimson light burst forth, and a massive amount of magic power surged into Hall's spirit base, restoring him to his peak state. The remaining portion flowed into the Mystic Eye for storage.

"Second Command Seal, Unleash the True Name of the Noble Phantasm."

"The point of ten, the foundation of the world, gives birth to all things, governs all phenomena, and all records begin and end here."

"Open! The Tree of Life! (The Gate of Truth)"

As Hall chanted the true name of his Noble Phantasm, a massive stone gate appeared behind him, fifteen meters wide and over fifty meters high, its stone doors carved with the Kabbalah Tree of Life, magnificent and wondrous.

Boom~

A deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth as the Gate of Truth slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black space within. A gigantic spiral eye opened and stared intently at Hall.

Swish Swish Swish~ Swish Swish Swish~

Black arms extended from the surface of Hall's eyeballs, multiplying until they covered his body; their target was the ancient nuclear warhead in front of Hall.

The black arm repeatedly touched the miniature sun, causing it to annihilate and disappear. Alchemy altered its internal structure, imbuing it with magical concepts.

The ancient nuclear warhead flared up, its light growing ever brighter.

······

Ruler Jeanne Alter leaps swiftly through the ruins of the earth, where she can see the parted clouds and the beastless Bull of the Sky above them.

Just now, she sensed several unusual auras, each one more terrifying than the last.

First, Lancer and Archer on the red side became enemies for unknown reasons; second, there was that pure light of victory; and finally, there was an attack that even she could not describe.

As expected, the head of the giant divine beast in the sky was destroyed by the final, terrifying attack.

Jeanne Alter chuckled to herself, "As expected, the banquet here is much more lively than the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. How could I miss it?"

"Killing, destroying, annihilating, burning—is there anything more wonderful in the world?"

"If it weren't for the Ruler class, I could have caused quite a stir myself. What a pity." Jeanne Alter gazed in rapture at the crumbling earth, not a single patch intact, with ravines stretching for kilometers everywhere.

Suddenly, Jeanne Alter's beautiful face froze, and she looked up at the sky, her pale golden eyes filled with astonishment.

"This is!"

Jeanne Alter stopped, clutching her hands tightly as she collapsed to the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably. She murmured, a mixture of pain and pleasure, "Ah...ah...I can see...the Lord's revelation...all...all destroyed..."

[Inspiration]: A

Equal to [Intuition], Intuition is the sixth sense in combat, while Revelation applies to all matters related to achieving the goal.

As a privileged skill possessed by the Ruler class, it is similar to the ability to see fragments of the future using [Clairvoyance].

"Haha~"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Destroy everything, burn everything to ashes, complete the highest art, you are indeed the most interesting, Caster of the Black Faction!"

······

Battlefield of Gods

Enkidu and Ishtar stopped fighting at the same time. They also sensed the threat from the shadows, especially Enkidu, who possessed an A++ level aura perception ability and was even more sensitive to the destruction and foreseeing of the world.

A powerful aura of death descended from the sky, heralding the destruction of the world.

Enkidu murmured in disbelief, "What's going on! Could it be Gilles' Noble Phantasm? No, Gilles is ultimately a Servant, his status is already predetermined, but the disaster that follows is a supernatural calamity comparable to the Bull of Heaven, capable of triggering the Counter Force. Who is it, and what is it?"

Ishtar stood beside the Skybow Maana, gazing at the parted clouds. She showed no alarm when Gugalana's body was destroyed.

With the return of the Bull of Heaven, the resulting chain reaction will allow Ishtar, as its master, to restore Inanna's power.

Humans cannot defeat the Bull of Heaven, which is why Ishtar held Enkidu back while allowing the King of Heroes and Holl to leave. Without the help of Enkidu, a weapon created by the gods, the King of Heroes could not have destroyed Gugalana.

Ishtar is now feeling very uneasy.

"Oh no, I have a bad feeling."

"Enkidu, do you know who is standing beside the King of Heroes?"

Enkidu honestly replied, "It should be Caster from the Black side. The only ones who can stand next to Gil are the warriors recognized by Gil."

Ishtar sighed softly: "That's right, but the magician standing next to the King of Heroes defeated the King of Heroes in another Holy Grail War."
