----------------------------------------------------------
In truth, Shirou Emiya had interfered with Kusanagi Godou's experiences before.
He had done so to ensure that Godou would not interfere with his own act of deicide.
Even then, Shirou Emiya had not placed much hope in acquiring Verethragna's Sword of Wisdom.
After all, even when slaying the same Heretic God, different Godslayers obtained different Authorities. Personality mattered. Essence mattered. What one person gained, another might never touch.
That was the rule.
But now, after careful analysis, Shirou Emiya felt something shift.
His thoughts aligned.
Although his personality was completely different from Kusanagi Godou's, those differences overlapped in a very specific way.
"That's right..."
"Verethragna's Ten Incarnations are a complete Authority."
He sorted through the information calmly.
"Moreover, the properties tied to his nature include Victory, War God, Battle God..."
"And also Healer God, Travel God, and more."
He paused.
"If a Godslayer's essence leans toward those latter attributes, then the result is obvious."
"But even if that's not the case..."
"As long as the Godslayer's essence resonates with even a single one of the Ten Incarnations, there is a chance to acquire the Authority of the Ten Incarnations as a whole."
That was the key.
"I don't know which part of Kusanagi Godou's essence allowed him to obtain that Authority."
Shirou Emiya narrowed his eyes slightly.
"But in my case..."
"It should be weapons."
"Or perhaps... swords."
His Origin surfaced naturally in his thoughts.
Sword.
Shirou Emiya nodded once.
Then, a smile slowly formed on his lips.
Because that meant one thing.
The Sword of Wisdom.
An Authority that existed specifically to counter divine Authorities.
Its potential was, quite literally, limitless.
Naturally, Shirou Emiya felt excitement rising within him.
"...Damn it."
"I'm suddenly interested in killing Verethragna."
The thought slipped out without restraint.
"I want to go take him down right now."
Suppressing the urge to act immediately, Shirou Emiya forced himself to refocus on the information before him.
Then another thought surfaced.
"...Hephaestus."
He frowned slightly.
"He's also a god of fire, isn't he?"
"I wonder if my fire immunity would negate his flames."
The thought lingered.
Shirou Emiya recalled a saying he had once heard, one he deeply agreed with.
Discussing toxicity without considering dosage is hooliganism.
The same principle applied to abilities.
Comparing strengths or weaknesses without considering output was meaningless.
For example-
Could an immunity granted by a god truly negate the power of that god?
Or even the power of a stronger god?
Probably not.
Shirou Emiya's fire immunity followed the same logic.
That power came from Loki's blessing.
Which meant its upper limit was defined by Loki himself.
So the real question became-
Were the Heretic Gods of the Campione! world stronger than the gods of the Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? world?
Shirou Emiya didn't think so.
Compared to the true gods of the Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? world, the Heretic Gods here were closer to special spirits.
They were bound by myths woven by humans.
Their power changed alongside the evolution of those myths.
Gods so dependent on humanity could not be compared to gods who created humanity in the first place.
More importantly-
The Heretic Gods of this world did not wield what Shirou Emiya understood as divine power.
Instead, they used a higher form of magic.
A force this world called 咒力-Juryoku.
After comparing the two, Shirou Emiya reached a clear conclusion.
The quality of Juryoku was far inferior to true divine power.
Therefore-
The Heretic Gods of the Campione! world were inferior to the gods of the Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? world.
"If that's the case..."
"Don't I have an advantage over him?"
Once that thought settled, Shirou Emiya's interest in Hephaestus grew even stronger.
"I really hope I meet him soon."
"And take him down."
With that, his anticipation for future battles only increased.
...
The vehicle pushed through the dense forest.
Driven steadily by Shuna, it eventually arrived at a ruined expanse.
The land ahead was broken.
Scorched.
Twisted.
It looked as if it had been ravaged by multiple natural disasters layered on top of one another.
Staring at the scene, Liliana couldn't help but speak up.
"Is this... where Lord Shirou fought Verethragna and Mekal?"
"That's right."
Little Rimuru, sitting in the passenger seat, answered proudly.
She cherished that battle deeply.
After all, it was a fight where she had faced genuine divine artifacts.
"It's unbelievable..."
Liliana whispered.
Sitting beside her, Erica also let out a quiet sigh.
After spending time with Shuna, the two of them had learned many things about Shirou Emiya.
They had also heard the details of that battle directly from Shuna herself.
Unlike other Godslayers, who relied heavily on luck-
Shirou Emiya had relied purely on his own strength.
On that overwhelming magical ability.
"Even if you flatter me," a voice came from the back seat, "I won't give you any rewards."
Shirou Emiya spoke with a relaxed smile, his eyes still closed as he rested.
Erica and Liliana didn't react much.
Their guardedness from before had already faded.
And that was exactly what Shirou Emiya wanted.
He traveled between worlds to make friends.
Not to become a distant figure standing alone.
"Then prepare one for me!"
Little Rimuru immediately jumped in when she heard the word "reward."
"You're really shameless, Little Rimuru!"
"Hahahaha!"
Laughter filled the car.
Amid the relaxed atmosphere, Shuna slowly brought the vehicle to a stop.
"We've arrived, Lord Shirou."
"Oh?"
Shirou Emiya opened his eyes and looked out the window.
The scenery was familiar.
A faint smile appeared.
He stepped out of the car.
With a casual wave of his hand, the projected sedan vanished.
"...That Projection magic is truly miraculous."
Even though they had already heard from Shuna about Shirou Emiya's mastery of Projection magic-and that it was his trump card-Erica and Liliana still couldn't help but feel stirred every time they saw it.
Projection magic existed in this world.
It was basic.
Extremely basic.
But Projection magic capable of recreating divine artifacts?
That was something they had never even heard of.
Something they had never dared to imagine.
"Don't just stand there."
Shirou Emiya spoke calmly.
"Follow Shuna up the mountain nearby."
"It's safer there."
"As for the wonders of Projection magic..."
"You'll see them soon enough."
"Yes, Lord Emiya!"
As young girls who had trained in magic since childhood, Erica and Liliana's curiosity burned brightly.
They quickly followed Shuna.
After watching the three of them leave, Shirou Emiya turned and walked toward the center of the ruined battlefield with Little Rimuru.
The air was still heavy.
Scars from divine conflict remained etched into the land.
He stopped.
Then he spoke lightly, almost casually.
"I've come for our appointment."
"Verethragna."
