"Damn it!"

Verethragna swung his golden sword, divine swordsmanship unfolding flawlessly as he deflected the incoming cudgels. Under normal circumstances, he would never have settled for merely parrying. With his authority, he could have cut them down outright, severing the divine artifacts themselves.

But now wasn't the time.

He couldn't afford it.

The crimson flash rising from the ground carried the unmistakable breath of death. Verethragna felt it clearly.

If he cut down Pursuer and Banisher, it would only amount to tearing off one of Mekal's arms. But if he was struck by that arrow...

Even his life was not guaranteed.

This much was obvious.

How could the God of War fail to understand something so fundamental?

"Gae Bolg!"

As the crimson arrow finally launched from below, streaking straight toward his heart, Verethragna roared.

"I am the strongest."

"I hold all victories."

"Against all enemies, I crush hostility."

"I will vanquish any foe that stands before me!"

"Gahhh!"

Facing an arrow that inverted causality itself, Verethragna chose to meet it head-on.

He would claim victory.

He brought his golden sword up before his chest, intercepting the arrow aimed directly at his heart. Crimson and gold collided.

From the outside, it looked like nothing more than a clash between a sword and an arrow.

In reality, it was something else entirely.

It was a collision of concepts.

Causality inversion versus victory.

"Gahhh!"

As the God of Victory, Verethragna felt his authority surge and sublime. His grip tightened around the hilt as he continuously forced back the demonic blade that sought his heart.

Magical energy erupted outward from the collision, violent waves of power scattering in every direction. His hair was blown back by the force.

Then-

The outcome was decided.

The crimson arrow twisted.

Its trajectory shifted.

Instead of piercing his heart, it tore through Verethragna's arm.

"Hahaha!"

"In the end, the victor is still me!"

Exhilaration surged through him.

But in that instant-

A flash of lightning appeared beside him.

It was Banisher.

"Don't forget about this old man!"

The voice rang out like thunder.

"God of War of the East!"

The moment Verethragna had been locked in battle with the demonic arrow, Mekal had already begun preparing. Normally, he would never strike while an opponent was engaged with another foe.

But failing to seize an opening created by post-battle arrogance would be nothing more than pointless pride.

Lightning engulfed Banisher.

It slammed into Verethragna.

Not knocking him back.

Not blasting him away.

It scattered him.

His body shattered midair into seven or eight fragments. Each fragment twisted, transforming into a divine beast that fled in a different direction.

Just like that-

In this three-sided struggle, the God of War of the East fell first.

"Hahaha!"

"The ultimate victor is me after all!"

Mekal laughed loudly, watching Verethragna's remnants flee. He himself had suffered almost no damage.

Then-

A voice filled with battle intent cut through the air.

"That's not necessarily true, King of Gods."

Mekal turned.

What entered his sight was Shirou Emiya.

He was wreathed in flames.

In his hand was a supreme divine spear.

After firing the fully reinforced Gae Bolg, Shirou Emiya moved immediately into his next preparation.

This time, there would be no hesitation.

He was going to project Karna's supreme Noble Phantasm.

Vasavi Shakti.

In a battle against Heretic Gods, Shirou Emiya could project countless Noble Phantasms-but very few could truly participate.

Most would shatter the instant they made contact.

These were no longer enemies that could be called merely strong.

They were beings known as gods.

To make his weapons viable, Shirou Emiya had to rely on Weapon Master, constantly reinforcing them with vast amounts of magical energy.

And if he wanted to elevate them to a level capable of deciding a War of Gods...

Even with his exaggerated reserves, he could only do it three times.

The Gae Bolg just now had been one of them.

That meant he had only two decisive attacks left.

"Manifest."

"Indra's Spear."

While Verethragna clashed with Gae Bolg and Mekal focused his attention on exploiting that fight, Shirou Emiya concealed his presence and completed the forging of the divine spear.

"Hahaha! The ultimate victor is me after all!"

Hearing Mekal's triumphant laughter, Shirou Emiya let out a small chuckle.

"That's not necessarily true, King of Gods."

Flames exploded outward, instantly igniting the surroundings.

Held high in Shirou Emiya's bloodstained hand, the supreme divine spear radiated overwhelming majesty. Its presence alone declared the authority of another King of Gods.

"Damn it... that's lightning!"

Mekal roared.

From that spear, he felt it clearly.

The threat of death.

"Pursue! Banish!"

"Pursuers, become the fangs of my wrath!"

"Chase down the sinner who despises the King!"

"Let him witness my fury!"

With Mekal's divine command, Pursuer and Banisher emerged from wind and lightning, tearing through the air toward Shirou Emiya.

But Shirou Emiya had already anticipated this.

"Bind the King of Gods."

"Chains of Heaven!"

Golden chains burst forth from the void, wrapping tightly around Mekal. His divine power was forcibly suppressed.

As he was bound, Pursuer and Banisher lost their strength and fell heavily to the ground.

"This is the grand gift I prepared for you."

Shirou Emiya's voice was filled with exhilaration.

"King of Gods Mekal!"

Ordinary Chains of Heaven could never restrain a King of Gods. But under the full reinforcement of Shirou Emiya's remaining magical energy, they achieved the impossible.

Even if only for a few seconds.

That was enough.

Raising the divine spear high, the lightning within it roared violently.

Shirou Emiya hurled it with all his strength.

At the same moment-

Mekal broke free.

"Judge the sinner who despises the King of Gods!"

"Pursuer! Banisher!"

"O Sun-"

"Obey death!"
