Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

There are two points where you are being deceived.

Firstly, it shouldn't be considered deception.

Although I don't know why, it seems everyone—

Whether it's you or Big Sister Avalon, you both consider my "Unlimited Blade Works" as a "Realistic Marble".

I'm sorry, this is not a grand magic technique called "Unlimited Blade Works".

This is not a barrier magic that erodes the world, so even an "anti-barrier Noble Phantasm" that is specifically designed to attack barriers cannot destroy it.

Morgan said: This is a great mystery that rewrites the real world into another realm based on its own principles.

"Fairy Realm: Unlimited Blade Works".

Since it is not a barrier, it cannot collapse simply because a hole is punched in it, unless it is completely destroyed or self-removed.

If you want to end my "Fairy Domain", then prepare weapons capable of truly destroying planets.

Then comes the second point.

The three abilities possessed by "Fairy Realm: Unlimited Blade Works".

One of them is "forging," which transforms enemies who enter the domain into the power of the holy sword.

Secondly, there is a "storage" space, which houses all the prototype swords that Shirou has seen.

Then comes the third ability.

In this world, there also exists a group of sword-shaped treasures called "divine weapons," which even Shirou cannot project.

Human beings, after all, have their limits.

It is impossible for the mere human mind to create a weapon of the gods.

If "humans" can't do it, then let's leave it to the "planet".

The third ability of "Fairy Domain: Unlimited Blade Works" is to analyze, disassemble, and reconstruct the weapons released within the domain.

The space around Shirou began to distort in the next instant.

Within the vortex of calamity, the planet's primordial supreme treasure was revealed.

Shirou decisively drew the newly forged Heaven-Opening Sword.

"Let the storm of creation rage even more fiercely."

Shirou held the spiraling Ea sword high above his head—

"What----!?"

Gilgamesh's eyes widened.

Right before his eyes, Shirou drew the cylindrical Primal Sword from the void.

The black and red spiral blade slowly began to rotate, causing the surrounding air to converge and tear apart the already chaotic spacetime.

—The only Noble Phantasm capable of countering "Heaven and Earth Divergence, Star of Creation" is "Heaven and Earth Divergence, Star of Creation" itself.

Shirou recognized this early on, and his tactics were all based on this.

In the fairy realm of "Unlimited Blade Works," the Hero King Gilgamesh unleashed Ea, destroying "The World" while also allowing "The World" to read its information.

The so-called Inner Sea of ​​the Stars is a place that stores the memories of the planet.

Even supreme treasures that surpass human intelligence can be read and copied by the planet's calculations.

Now, Ea has become Shirou's collection and can be officially used as his Noble Phantasm.

"Waaaaaah! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! How could they resort to such petty tricks?!"

Hero Wang Junmei's expression turned ferocious, and he roared furiously.

The sword Ea in his hand continued its destructive rampage.

The storm erupting from the cylinder of the Primordial Sword created a spatial rift, constantly destroying everything around it.

However—the strongest Noble Phantasm can never harm Shirou.

Gilgamesh's defeat was not due to using Ea in "Unlimited Blade Works" which resulted in his Noble Phantasm being copied, but rather because he did not choose Shirou as his target.

If he had directly used the Ea to destroy the boy's body, he should have already won.

He maintained his arrogance until the very end, attempting to defeat Shirou on a spiritual level and deny his "world," which led to his downfall.

In a way, Shirou was very fortunate.

He knew that if it were the King of Heroes, he would definitely do that.

As the boy praised the King of Heroes as the proudest warrior, he raised "another sword of Ea" high.

Shirou sensed that the magical power within his body was rapidly dissipating, a sign that the "Royal Command Spell" had ended.

Shirou, now back in his infant form, frowned: Tsk... Did we waste too much time on aerial combat?

But it doesn't matter, the King of Heroes will naturally point out a way for Shirou—

Activating the Divergent Sword requires very little magic power.

Despite possessing the greatest and strongest destructive firepower, its consumption is at the lowest level, making it an astonishingly flawless Noble Phantasm.

However, now, the perfect, overpowered performance of the Hero King and the Ea sword has become the cause of his death.

"——————"

Gilgamesh's crimson pupils trembled.

Those eyes that see into the future have indeed seen death.

It's too late.

He could neither stop the Ea sword from operating nor evade it.

But he will not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

"Shirou Amamiya————————!!!"

Archer actually activated the Thousand Gates Noble Phantasm while unleashing Ea, what a monster... but it's all meaningless.

"Farewell, King of Heroes, I will take good care of her (Ea)."

Amidst the final scream of the King of Heroes, Shirou effortlessly swung down the Primal Creation Sword.

"—The Divergence of Heaven and Earth, the Star of the Oath (Enuma Elish)!!!"

Along with the boy's low growl, a black and red beam of light was released from the supreme treasure.

It is completely different in form from the Ea sword in Gilgamesh's hand, which ravages and destroys everything.

This is the "Tenchi Era" (Heaven and Earth Divergence), a move that only a swordsman who has honed his martial arts to the pinnacle can unleash. It belongs to Shirou Amamiya.

When swordsmanship is incorporated into it, what is accomplished is a truly devastating slash that splits the world in two.

A second later, the scenery of the Starry Sea dissolved and disappeared like a bursting bubble.

At the same time, the spatial rift released from the Hero King's Ea sword also disappeared, leaving only the golden archer standing on the mountain path in the dead of night.

"..."

The King of Heroes' golden armor was spotless, but upon closer inspection, one could see fine, thread-like slashes running from his shoulders to his ribs.

The reason Archer didn't break in two is because Shirou's slash was too perfect, and the cross-section was too flat.

Under the "Alone Action" skill effect, the Hero King did not disappear immediately.

"Ha...you cunning little devil, you actually tricked me."

Although such disrespect is a capital offense,... the king, who was so easily deceived, is also at fault.

Archer readily accepted the defeat.

Shirou dragged his heavy legs up the mountain path, step by step.

Just like last time, I didn't experience any side effects from the "Royal Command Spell" this time.

The reason his body felt so heavy, as if filled with lead, was because he, as a human, forcibly activated his "domain".

Unlike human technology (magic), the fairy realm is a great mystery that only high-ranking fairies can wield.

In pan-human history, this power has also been called "power" or "principle".

Fairies, gods, dead apostles—in any case, this is something no human can do.

In his life-extending magic experiment, Shirou transformed himself into a body capable of unlocking the fairy realm.

While this grants the incredibly powerful "Unlimited Blade Works" technique, the consumption and side effects are also staggering.

If possible, I really hope to learn that technique called Reality Marble in the future...

But can a third-rate magician like me really learn such amazing magic tricks?

This is truly unsettling, Mr. Morgan.

"Go through here, you fake (Faker)... You win."

Gilgamesh's voice carried a mixture of frustration and annoyance, yet also a certain satisfaction.

Ultimately, Archer didn't lose because of a lack of skill or tactical errors, but because he enjoyed the battle too much.

During his battle with Shirou, the king felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration—

Battles like this, where one must give it their all, are extremely rare for a powerful figure like the King of Heroes.

However, Shirou was different.

He was not born powerful like Gilgamesh, who was half-human and half-god. Instead, he grew from a weak human boy into a king who conquered another world.

He had experienced countless battles where he risked his life, battles where he had to give it his all.

Gilgamesh's overwhelming lack of experience ultimately led to his defeat.

But... this defeat, surprisingly, doesn't seem so unpleasant.

On the other hand, Shirou didn't feel much of a sense of victory—

Although they defeated the King of Heroes, they did not achieve their initial goal.

Shirou originally intended to subdue Archer without killing him, but that was proving too difficult.

In the end, the soul of the King of Heroes was returned to the Greater Grail, bringing the awakening of the world-destroying monster a step further.

Archer spoke with an extremely serious expression:

"Kid, you're the one who defeated me. You're not allowed to lose to anyone else—"

"Go and defeat Saber too. If you fail to do so, I will personally kill you."

"Isn't that asking too much of a question?" Shirou chuckled.

"Stop playing dumb. You've survived situations a hundred times more difficult than this, haven't you?"

As he spoke, the void around the King of Heroes began to distort, and a small bottle containing a semi-transparent liquid fell into his hand.

"Next, this is the 'secret elixir of youth.'"

He tossed the small bottle to Shirou.

"Even if a young child takes it, there will be no change."

But it can at least heal the body and restore magic power... so accept it with gratitude.

Is it really a good idea to hand over something so valuable to the enemy?

Shirou asked curiously, but Gilgamesh just snorted dismissively.

"Blame Saber for her arrogant words in front of me."

It seems the two had some private dispute.

As Shirou pondered this, he opened the bottle and drank it all in one gulp without hesitation.

"The secret elixir of youth."
