Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

Then, there they saw a giant standing under the stars.

"Is it too late?" Shirou frowned.

"That couldn't be the Noble Phantasm... 'Crown: Light of Wisdom'?" Fiore's mouth dropped open.

One look is enough to understand that "that" is completely different from all the golems before.

It's not on the same level as any golems created by Roger or the "Black" sorcerer in the past.

……

……

The magician has witnessed hell.

Humans are constantly fighting, and villains plunder the weak at will.

The world is so disgusting to the extreme.

Why can't humans stop fighting?

How can humans so readily commit such vile acts?

Why are humans, created by the supreme and benevolent God, so imperfect?

The magician sought to understand the reason behind it.

Ultimately, he found the answer in documents older than the Bible.

The reason why humans are constantly fighting.

This is because the first humans, who once lived in Paradise, committed original sin and were banished from Paradise.

The human soul in the degenerate material world will only decay over time.

If left unchecked, humanity will forever be trapped in a cycle of conflict. So what should we do?

The answer is actually very simple.

If there is no paradise on earth, then we should create one ourselves.

During his lifetime, the magician devoted himself to creating the perfect golem, but he passed away before he could realize his wish.

But even in death, this obsession did not disappear.

Not through an omnipotent wish-granting machine, but with his own two hands, he fulfilled his tragic wish—to build a true paradise on earth.

I will end this hell.

So, Roger.

My Master, the first beloved disciple you have ever taken in this life.

—Please never forgive the teacher who killed you.

……

……

The giant, several meters tall, is made entirely of wood, stone, and soil. Its appearance, as if it has directly incorporated the greatness of nature into its body, inevitably evokes the image of a deity.

When his feet touched the earth, the ground, ravaged by Spartacus, seemed to sing in praise of the giant, transforming from barren land into lush vegetation.

The trees that the giant touched immediately bore fruit, which ripened, fell to the ground, and instantly grew into trees.

Not only that, but the birds and beasts that should have been excluded by the barrier of the city of Mirenia also appeared out of nowhere.

Like insects attracted to light, birds and beasts were drawn to the giant, clinging to it without hesitation, and then being broken down into pure energy to supply the giant.

They do this voluntarily, and the mindless beasts are eager to attach themselves to it.

In addition, the surrounding environment, including the earth, comes alive, and a faint honey scent wafts in the air. Just by breathing it into your lungs, you are filled with an overwhelming sense of happiness.

"Look—this is Paradise Eden."

Standing on the giant's shoulders, Caster spreads his arms wide, and even though his features are covered by a mask, you can almost feel his ecstasy.

"This is the original human being that all Kabbalah believers seek—Adam Cammon."

This is the true nature of "Crown: Light of Wisdom," possessing the power to transform the world into a paradise simply by existing.

The rewritten world is the land that God gave to the first humans (Adam and Eve) to live on.

Battles and killings will cease to exist; tedious wars and boring societies will end; the world will become a true paradise—ah!

A beam of gold shot from afar pierced Caster's chest.

His lungs were burned through, and he immediately lost his voice and fell from the giant's shoulder.

"Saber!"

It goes without saying who launched the attack; Jeanne looked at Shirou, who had drawn his holy sword, with surprise.

"Sorry, I can't listen to this madman's nonsense anymore."

Shirou frowned and said, "Paradise isn't the kind of place that drives people insane, and besides... what you have is basically just a Noble Phantasm."

Caster struggled to his feet.

Avestrom was frail and sickly in life, and even after becoming a Servant, he couldn't possibly withstand a Holy Sword. It's clear that Shirou deliberately avoided the Soul Core.

"That's right... Just as you said, this is a Noble Phantasm."

While using magic to heal his wounds, Caster said, "Swordsman... you spared my life because you intend to use me to stop the Primal Humans, right?"

Unfortunately, my mission on Earth has come to an end.

Now that this Noble Phantasm has been activated, I have no regrets.

The sorcerer lied.

He desperately wanted to see what "Paradise" looked like.

However—since I have become an obstacle to realizing my dream, I have no choice but to give up on myself first.

Avestrom betrayed and sacrificed his Master in order to achieve his dream.

This is the truth.

Caster's chest heaved as he thought of Roger's trust in him and his dying pleas for mercy.

Therefore, he decided to readily accept the consequences of betraying his Master.

"Light of Wisdom! The rest is in your hands. If it is you, you can surely create paradise on this land! Save the world, humanity, and our people!"

Avistron decided to merge into the giant's body, just like his Master, becoming its energy source.

If it absorbs a Servant, a being with immense magical power, its strength can increase dramatically once again—

Shirou, of course, noticed this as well.

"Xiao Mo! Don't let him die!"

"Oh!"

Mordred transformed into a streak of crimson lightning and charged forward.

She first slashed at the giant's lower leg with her sword, causing it to lose its balance, and then forcibly pulled Caster, who was merging with the giant, out.

"Wait! What are you doing? Stop it!"

Avestrom struggled desperately.

"Crown: Light of Wisdom" is a Noble Phantasm with infinite growth potential.

It simply exists there, and it will continue to grow stronger over time, without any limit—until it assimilates the entire surface of the planet.

However, its unlimited growth potential also means that it is not completely invincible.

If Avistron himself did not become Adam Camon's fuel, the giants' initial strength would be significantly weaker.

Mordred gave Caster no chance, grabbing him back like a chick.

"Want to die? Not so easy! I'll make you watch your masterpiece turn into rubble."

"Are you a devil!?"

Shirou's face was expressionless, but the emotions he conveyed were extremely intense.

—Everyone present understood that he loathed Caster from the bottom of his heart.

After leaving Avistron in Frankenstein's care, Mordred came to Shirou's side and stood beside him, sword in hand.

"Hey... Fiore."

Shirou turned to look at the acting head of the Yggdrasil clan.

"Oh, is that so? What can I do for you?"

"Since that thing is still considered a Noble Phantasm of the 'Black' faction, let's confirm it."

"……Um."

Shirou, with his back to the girl, posed the question.

As he spoke, he turned to face the golem, and with his back to me, he threw out a question.

"Even if we completely destroy that thing, it'll be fine, right?"

The activated Adam Cammon has long since transcended the scope of the Holy Grail War.

Caster once said that it would "destroy the old world and create a new world," which was definitely not just empty talk.

Within that colossal structure, several meters high, lies the principle that transformed the planet's surface back to its primordial state.

However, Shirou's words and his departing figure gave Fiore a sense of encouragement.

The girl, who was already exhausted because of Uncle Danic and Roger's situation, suddenly regained her confidence.

As the interim leader of Yggdrasil, I must pull myself together!

"I'm counting on you, Black Swordsman! Please help us defeat that giant!"

"Got it. Turn it into scrap metal right now, and keep a close eye on it... Tsk, Ruler, why are you pinching my waist?"

Joan of Arc pouted and turned her face away as if she were being difficult.

"It's nothing, I just feel like you two seem to have a really good understanding... Hmph~"

And so, the battle began.

Shirou and Mordred engage the enemy head-on, while Archer and Rider provide ranged and guerrilla support on the battlefield.

Adam Cammon is not merely someone with a massive size and corresponding absolute strength.

Chiron's arrow aimed at its eye was deflected, demonstrating that it also possesses agility surpassing that of Heroic Spirits.

However, this had no effect on Shirou and his companions. Led by the rebellious knight, the two launched a series of attacks on the golem.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong, big guy?! You're moving so slowly, you're not even as good as the golem that Merlin bastard made!!"

The red swordsman, entwined with crimson lightning, charged forward, assuming a sword stance against the golem's torso, and launched a powerful ramming attack.

Taking advantage of the golem's swaying body, Shirou slashed at its knee joints, further reducing its mobility.

The two worked together seamlessly and wonderfully.

As the golems trembled from their onslaught, Astolfo, riding his eagle, swooped down.

He used his Noble Phantasm on the giant's leg—

"Trap of Argalia!"

With a tremendous commotion like an earthquake, the golem could no longer stand and fell to its knees.

Mordred wouldn't let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by.

The True Name Release, which had been interrupted twice since the start of the war, has now finally been released without reservation.

"Rebellion against my magnificent father (Clarent Blood Arthur) ————!!"

The crimson lightning, imbued with dark magic, easily shattered the giant's head.

"……call."

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was over, only Ruler, who had never let his guard down, issued a warning.

"No, it's not over yet!!"
