Did the Heroic Spirit I conquered become a reality?

The moment the thought arose, He rejected it.

'No...that's not right.'

The alien god's perception clearly told Him that the boy before Him showed no signs of weakness whatsoever.

On the contrary, as the battle continued, his connection with the four Beast pillars grew stronger, and the strength of his spirit origin was even subtly increasing! He was like an inexhaustible source of energy, and the concept of "consumption" simply did not exist for him.

What exactly happened?

Paradox after paradox challenged His cognition, which was built upon "absolute truth".

Finally, the most "reasonable" explanation came to mind.

'...I see, so you were just putting on a brave face.'

Alien God felt that Tohsaka Yu was deliberately bluffing, trying to conceal his own weakness in some way, and attempting to crush his spirit with this continuous, impossible attack before he was exhausted.

"Useless bluster."

He snorted coldly and launched an attack! An even greater force of "annihilation" converged, and He was determined to crush this paradox that dared to challenge the truth in one fell swoop!

However, just as His attack was about to touch Tohsaka Yu—

A third golden light shone.

That dazzling brilliance seemed to mock all His thoughts just now.

“Ex—calibur!!”

The third torrent of light, identical to the previous two but even more condensed and pure, once again cleaved through the void!

This time, however, the alien god's expression changed drastically. His arrogant composure vanished completely, replaced by utter shock and incomprehension.

He cried out in disbelief, "Why?! Why can you still wield the Star Sword?!"

Faced with the alien god's question, which was filled with shock and confusion, Tohsaka Yu stopped what he was doing for the first time, letting the violent energy turbulence blow through his short black hair.

He held the still radiant holy sword, a matter-of-fact smile on his face.

"The use of the Star Sword does indeed require an almost inexhaustible amount of energy, you are right."

His voice echoed calmly in the shattered void, clearly reaching the ears of the alien god and also the communicators of the Chaldeans in the distance.

“Every swing of it is equivalent to prying up the foundation of the entire planet. This burden is enough to crush any hero and drain any god.”

“But who told you,” his smile turned playful, “that I need ‘magic’ to use it?”

These words, like an unsolvable paradox, struck the alien god hard in the chest, causing His detached demeanor to stiffen visibly for the first time.

In the past, Tohsaka Yu was still in human form. No matter how powerful the 'White Dragon Heart' within her was, capable of simulating the heart of a real dragon and converting life force into immense magical power, it would eventually have a limit.

To put it bluntly, his magic channel used to be like a 'small pipe'. Even if it was connected to a huge reservoir, the amount of water that could flow through it instantly was limited. Every time he used a Noble Phantasm, every time he engaged in a high-intensity battle, he was calculating the pipe's capacity and the reservoir's remaining capacity.

But that's different now.

Now, his body has been strengthened once again, and he has evolved to the level of a 'beast'.

This body is large enough to hold most of the ocean.

Yu Tohsaka no longer needs to rely on his own "core" to generate energy bit by bit. Through the "mark of the Root Princess" called "love" with Ayaka Sajou, he is now directly connected to the "Root" that is located at the source of all things and possesses infinite knowledge and infinite power!

That was not the distant goal that magicians pursue throughout their lives, but rather a pure and unreasonable "love" that was unilaterally and irrationally transferred to Yu Tohsaka's soul.

An infinite source of energy, coupled with an infinitely wide channel.

Today's Yu Tohsaka is no exaggeration to call her a humanoid "magical" turret!

At this moment, the alien god seemed to fall into some kind of chaos, but after all, He was a god, a being of a higher dimension. After a brief moment of wavering, He was replaced by an even colder and purer killing intent.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the alien god moved.

He no longer stood still and expanded his domain, but took the initiative to launch an attack.

His figure instantly transcended the distance of time and space, appearing before Tohsaka Yu, a palm constructed of pure "nothingness" pressing towards Tohsaka Yu's heart.

However, facing this deadly attack, Tohsaka Yu neither dodged nor evaded.

Behind him, Tiamat's phantom flashed by, and the chaotic sea of ​​life instantly transformed into the strongest barrier in front of him.

This is a true battle of myths.

The two figures had completely transformed into two beams of light that could not be seen with the naked eye. They fought fiercely in the shattered void. This battle had no concept of time; it seemed to last for a moment, yet it also seemed to last for thousands of years.

Gradually, the alien god realized a fact that made even Him tremble.

The opponent's energy seems to be truly... inexhaustible.

No matter how powerful one is, no matter how many times one resets this battlefield, the enemy can always retaliate in a more ferocious and unreasonable way.

This battle has turned into an unwinnable war of attrition.

As for myself, as an existence in a finite universe, no matter how powerful I am, my origin will eventually have its "boundaries," but the "place" that the other party connects to is the true and absolute "infinity"!

Can't drag it any longer!

Just as the alien god was preparing to use a costly final measure that would completely end this paradox, Tohsaka Yu once again raised the golden sword in his hand.

That composure, that tranquility, seemed to herald the end of this mythical war.

The light emanating from the sword was more intense and dazzling than ever before, like a rising sun illuminating this eternal darkness.

"you……"

As the alien god watched this scene, his incredulous and horrified gaze finally completely replaced all his calmness and rationality.

He realized that the other party had never been engaging in a so-called "battle" with him from the beginning.

From the moment he took out this holy sword, the other party was only unilaterally and repeatedly "execution" him!

Under the incredulous and horrified gaze of the alien god, Tohsaka Yu once again swung the golden sword.

That was no longer a simple strike, but transformed into a continuous, endless golden storm!

"Ex—calibur!"

The moment that sword was swung, the alien god abruptly raised his head and roared, "Tohsaka Yu, you think this is all—"

"Ex—calibur!"

"Excalibur! Excalibur! Excalibur!"

The alien god's voice abruptly stopped.

Volume 1: The Grand Finale: The Beast of Promise - Tohsaka Yuu

The great war ended in a way that no one had expected.

It was not a victory of skill and strategy, nor a clash of strength and speed.

It was the purest, most unreasonable, and endless terror offensive.

"Excalibur!"

The first torrent of light tore through the void, completely evaporating the "Truth" barrier hastily erected by the alien god!

"Excalibur!"

The second one followed immediately. Before the light had even faded, a new golden judgment had already descended, severing the chains of laws that He was trying to reconstruct the defense!

"Excalibur! Excalibur! Excalibur!"

The third, fourth, and fifth rays of light transformed into waves of judgment, which, one after another and in an unbroken stream, completely engulfed the figure that symbolized absolute truth!

Golden light filled every corner of this void. It was not destruction, but purification, a planetary will that thoroughly corrected all "errors" and "paradoxes" and restored the world to its original state.

Even the alien gods couldn't have imagined that Tohsaka Yu would be able to use this ultimate weapon repeatedly, seemingly without any cost.

His logic, His truth, were completely overturned at this moment.

He can erase existence and deny causality, but He cannot contend with a paradoxical entity that is itself a "paradox" and possesses "infinite" energy.

In the moment before being completely swallowed by that endless golden light, only one thought remained in His absolutely rational mind.

'So this is what true...unreasonableness is...'

The light dissipated.

In the shattered void, only Yu Tohsaka remained, silently floating.

The holy sword in his hand emitted a soft hum, then turned into golden specks of light and vanished.

There was absolute silence all around.

The aura of the alien god, along with all traces of its existence, seemed to have been completely "washed away".

"……it's over?"

On the communicator came Dr. Romani's dry voice, which sounded strongly unreal.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, standing in the distance, stared blankly at the scene, their minds completely blank.

One moment it was the apocalypse that could destroy humanity, the next moment the enemy was completely overwhelmed by an even more incomprehensible force in a way they could not understand.

Yu Tohsaka slowly exhaled, not because of exhaustion, but because of a sense of mental relaxation.

He could feel that the four restless "beastly" principles within his body had become more subdued than ever before.

'Aaaaa……' (Wow, that's amazing……)

Tiamat's maternal and proud consciousness resonated deep within his soul.

'Hmph, not bad at all.'

Kama remained his usual arrogant and hypocritical self.

'Hehehe, what a brilliant 'relief'...' Sesshouin Kiara's voice was full of satisfaction and pleasure.

Meanwhile, Koyanskaya scrutinized him from head to toe with astonishment, seemingly reassessing Tohsaka Yu's strength.

"Thank you for your hard work," Yu Tohsaka replied with a smile in her heart.

Just then, a spatial rift silently opened up beside them, and the cynical gem sculptor slowly walked out of the rift.

"Oh dear, that really scared me to death." The Gemstone looked at the void in front of him, which had been almost returned to its "initial" state, and clicked his tongue in amazement. "Luckily, I made preparations in advance, otherwise... the battle between multiple beasts would have been quite a spectacle for humanity."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Tohsaka Yu with great interest, his cloudy eyes filled with admiration and curiosity.

“Using the magic of the ‘Root’ to power the holy sword of the ‘Planet’… Kid, you’ve truly pioneered a way of playing that’s unprecedented.”

As he spoke, he casually waved his staff, and another stable and gentle spatial portal opened before everyone.

On the other side of the door was that familiar, sun-drenched dormitory room.

"Alright, the farce is over. I'll speak to the girl from the Lorelei family." He looked at Tohsaka Yu and grinned. "As for you... get some rest."

Although the magic power of the Star Sword can be obtained from the Root, Tohsaka Yu's mind still suffers a considerable strain during continuous battles.

He nodded slightly, and as he led the dazed Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu through the spatial gate, all the noise and causality of the outside world seemed to be shut out behind them.

What comes into view is the familiar Gothic stained glass window, with golden sunlight lazily spilling onto the rustic wooden floor.

It was as if the battle of the gods that had just been powerful enough to destroy the world was nothing more than a bizarre dream.

Dr. Romani hastily cut off communications after confirming their safety.

Chaldea must be in complete chaos right now. The reports on "Beast 0" and "Yu Tohsaka's Connection to the Root" alone are enough to completely shut down all the staff's brains.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu didn't linger either; after experiencing such a huge shock, they needed time to process everything.

Before leaving, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Tohsaka Yu with an incredibly complex expression, all her unspoken words ultimately condensing into one sentence: "...Senpai, thank you. And...please take care."

She knew that from this day forward, the senior in front of her had embarked on a lonely and dangerous path that was completely different from everyone else's.

After seeing the two off, only Tohsaka Yu was left in the dormitory.

He slowly walked to the window, pushed it open, and the sunlight rushed in.

In the distance, the ancient chimes of the clock tower rang out melodiously, announcing the arrival of afternoon.

On the street, students strolled by in twos and threes, discussing their magic papers or where to go for afternoon tea.

Everything seemed so peaceful, so ordinary.

Yu Tohsaka stretched out her hand, feeling the warmth of the sunlight falling on her palm.
