Identify the representative of the class of contrasts in all worlds, I am the sun

"If you show that expression, I'll be troubled." Mandicardo's dead fish eyes showed a strange tenderness, "We were summoned to save the world."

"But, I want to do this for my own personal reasons. I want to help my friends, I want to help you."

"If I want to help you, I can't think of any other way except this. I once made a vow to the gods and the fairies."

"Until I acquired the peerless sword, I stopped using the sword. Now, I can fulfill my vow, so... how should I put it?"

"Don't show such a painful expression, it will hurt me too."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's vision gradually blurred, and the girl's chest heaved violently.

"Being able to experience such a moment of pride as a hero, a Master, and a Heroic Spirit... is already worth it."

The only pity is that I can’t stay with you until the end, my friends.

"Well, goodbye," a smile that was not bright but came from the heart appeared on his gloomy face.

Or rather, he hadn't laughed like this in a long time.

...It is truly a blessing to have met such a worthy friend, to have experienced such a magnificent adventure, and to have been able to offer my strength in the end...

I have no regrets in dying——!

"Noble Phantasm!"

Amidst the crowd's astonishment and blurred vision, they saw an unparalleled brilliance bursting out from Mandicardo's frail body!!!

"I will break the oath without the sword!"

Some shackles were broken, he strode forward, took the spear that had lost its owner in his hand, and shouted loudly!

"What I hold in my hands is the promised, indestructible sword! To protect my friends, I will unleash this power!"

In an instant, the sky and the earth lost their color, and the hero's sword was in Mandicardo's hand!

Such pure, such dazzling power!

The moment the vow made in life was fulfilled in its complete form, the hand he held was no longer holding a wooden sword, but a real sword!

This was a phantom Noble Phantasm that even he himself was unaware of.

"The second Noble Phantasm, the peerless phantom sword!!!"

Mandicardo stood alone in front of everyone. At this moment, for his best friend, he surpassed all his previous legends!!!

The dazzling golden sword light and Artemis' main gun confronted each other fiercely!

For one second, vision is deprived, and for two seconds, the sense of touch disappears.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The internal organs were shattered, the hearing was torn, the flashes of burning, the skin was torn, and the blood vessels were constantly broken, but even so!

I will never let you hurt Lixiang and the others!!!

Time passed minute by minute, until everything was over, and Mandicardo was still standing there.

He stood there like charcoal, unable to see, hear, or feel anything.

However, he forced a smile on his face.

Well, that worry has vanished. I've given everything to my friend and died for him...

But I still feel lonely, not because of my servants, but because of my friends, and everything I have done for them.

Lixiang, go ahead!

But there was no other choice. After a brief period of grief, a new round of grief came again, and Paris said his final goodbye to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Transforming into a golden arrow, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a sharp pain in her heart. She endured the pain and used the last Command Seal on Orion.

"Orion, shoot down the moon!"

"Okay!" Orion laughed loudly as terrifying magic power erupted from his body.

Then he looked up at the sky with a ferocious look!

"Artemis!"

That call to the distant place is like the roar of a lion!

Is it because he is the crowned one who is here now?

Or is it because I'm the man who shot down the goddess?

The answer is both...

"I!!!" Orion roared, "In order to truly shoot down the moon goddess Artemis! I hereby return my crown!!!"

The three stars like a belt reveal the bodies of Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis) and Rige (Beta Orionis), and Orion laughs heartily!

Abandon the crown and return to the spiritual base!

He is now at the peak of his strength!!!

Today, now, at this moment, is the day to bring down the God!!!

].

Scene 268! The crown is not what I desire. The proof of my love lies in this one arrow!

【

"No one but me can shoot you down! No one! No one but me can pull this bow, no one can shoot you down!"

"I was summoned by my will, and I will shoot you down by my will!"

Orion roared angrily!

The flash of death that Mandicardo had blocked passed by and rushed again in front of Orion who had drawn his bow and arrow.

But at this moment, Orion's expression was extremely calm. He looked up at the falling comet with a gleam in his eyes. He smiled fearlessly and sadly.

His thoughts went back to a time before, when he and Artemis were alone.

"A question," Artemis asked softly, "I've obtained your memories from your previous life and scanned your brain to compare them. Why is the Artemis you see so happy?"

Don't just peek into other people's memories, Orion complained, and answered honestly, "Ah, that's because... because you fell in love with me."

"..." Artemis was silent for a moment, her voice tinged with emotion. "I don't quite understand why, but I'm unhappy. Taking away my memories doesn't matter, right?"

"No way!" Orion refused loudly.

"It's really unpleasant, obviously unpleasant, but quite interesting—"

The unbearable heat brought Orion back to his senses.

Yes, his eyes seemed to be looking at the sky, the sky, the universe, and the person he loved.

You have collapsed, completely collapsed. You have clearly reached your limit, and you have clearly collapsed long ago. There is no fun at all. You have been floating in the empty sky for ten thousand years.

You, because you're a goddess, have lost the concept of asking for help. I was so stupid not to notice this and refused you, saying I didn't want to hurt you.

Then, it is really stupid of you to pray that no one wants to hurt anyone else.

This must be the most fatal difference between this place and pan-human history. Whether you hurt others or are hurt, you should land on the earth.

"So, Artemis! Wake up!!! I'm going to hurt you now!"

This sky does not suit you, so fall into this infinite loneliness!!!

The last bit of sunset light was gradually swallowed by the darkness. Orion stood in the last remaining light, holding up his bow and arrow, pulling the string, and pointing to the sky!

That bow was forged by God.

That arrow is a golden arrow created by transforming the body of a heroic spirit!

And this person who draws the bow does it not only for the sake of pan-human history, but also for his beloved one!

"Come down from the lonely sky, Artemis!"

The man who gave up his crown calls out to the goddess on the other side!

"I'll be with you too, I'll fall with you!"

At this point, all the heroes sacrificed their lives.

Drake, Chiyome Mochizuki, Charlotte, Bartholomew, Achilles, Hector, Mandicardo, Paris, Apollo.

An archer transforms into a rainbow and clears the way.

An archer turns into a beacon to awaken people's hearts.

An archer, transformed into a meteor, brings hope.

Heroes appear and disappear one after another, and everything is for this moment!

"Noble Phantasm!"

"The third Noble Phantasm that should not exist, the bow of God, the arrows of the Heroic Spirit, the Servant who gave up the crown!"

It wasn't hatred, nor fighting spirit, nor hostility, nor murderous intent, but simply the feeling of love and compassion—

He is the hunter who sees through the goddess!

The crown is not what I need; the proof of my love lies only in this one arrow!

The whole earth was filled with golden light. In this world that was about to be shrouded in darkness, such a dazzling light suddenly appeared.

The light spots gathered together, and bright beams of light bloomed from the ground. The golden arrows shot straight into the sky with violent roars and dazzling light!

The sky and the earth lost their color, the wind and clouds changed, it tore through the sky and broke through the darkness. In the blink of an eye, it crossed the void, came to the depths of the universe, and came in front of Artemis.

This is the arrow that pierced the goddess's fall.

In the universe, the Moon Goddess Artemis felt the blow and realized that all her actions were no longer effective. Fighting, avoiding, everything...

"You are the gold that pierces the stars! Shoot!"

Without any hesitation, Artemis immediately fired back with the interstellar orbital cannon!

“Why why why why….”

Confused, why am I confused? Artemis is confused.

I can't understand such a conclusion, and his behavior is also incomprehensible. Why is he going to kill me?

Why, even if it meant breaking the oath, he had to fight, why, he shot this arrow at her.

"When you understand, you will understand," Orion murmured softly on the ground, as if sensing Artemis' confusion.

"You completely destroyed the island along with the terminal. There was no rational basis for that. That was your emotion. That was your anger and jealousy."

"Weak is just a simple machine. It shouldn't have any feelings, but you do." Orion said with a smile. "So, in this case, for you, my dear, these ten thousand years are really too long."

"Do you think I can bear it, you are in such a state?"

"..."

In the dark sky, two beams of light rushed towards each other madly, but...

Orion's Noble Phantasm rushed forward at a speed and destructive power that surpassed all the speeds and destructive power in this world!

This is the bow and arrow created for Artemis, and this is the arrow shot out of love for Artemis!

Ignore all of Artemis's defenses, avoid all unreasonable things, and aim for the strongest arrow that's sure to hit the target!

It pierced the stars, and Artemis's attack had no power to resist. In an instant, the beam of light penetrated the sky and the earth, and penetrated the stars, the sun and the moon!

It even penetrates Artemis's body!!!

The terrifying force made Artemis unable to mount any defense, and she was completely destroyed in just a moment!

But at the moment of the direct impact, Artemis understood everything.

This arrow, just like the words, must be shot with all one's strength. This arrow is also Orion's life. As the price of shooting down the Moon Goddess, he gave up his own life.

However, this is not hatred, there is consideration, there is mercy, there is sympathy, there is sorrow, there is lamentation - there is love!

This is the very characteristic of pan-human history, and the fatal gap between it and us.

He even fell in love with God.

This is a fact that is even despised. The fall of God cannot happen.

But, but——Ahhhhhhh!!

I'm so envious!
