Chapter 68: Face to Face with EA! EMIYA Pierces Through Seven! Ending the Holy Grail War!
『 He prayed to the Throne of Heroes, but the only one who answered him was himself!
Flesh and blood splattered, and the incoming tentacles were torn to shreds by sharp blades.
Beneath the moonlight, the boy stood tall and resolute!
"AHHH! MY HAND! MY HAND!" Shinji Matou screamed in pain, looking at Emiya Shirou in disbelief.
"What's going on! What's wrong with you! The card Sakura held was clearly a garbage card! Installing it should be impossible!"
Shinji Matou 's voice was almost a wail, "What's going on? WHO IS THAT HEROIC SPIRIT OF YOURS?!"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!!", Shinji Matou roared and attacked Emiya Shirou again.
Emiya Shirou's golden eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He leaned forward and rushed; his weapons in both hands were tightly bound in place by tentacles at some point, but he didn't panic at all.
A heavy punch directly smashed into Shinji Matou 's face!
Flesh and blood splattered, facial bones shattered, Shinji Matou was sent flying by this punch! 』

Burning! So burning!
HE PRAYED TO THE THRONE OF HEROES, BUT THE ONLY ONE WHO ANSWERED HIM WAS HIMSELF!!
The moment the smoke cleared, everyone's scalp tingled.
That useless boy who still didn't give up in despair.
He actually... SUMMONED HIMSELF WITH A GARBAGE CARD AT THE LAST MOMENT?!!
Such a shocking thing made everyone feel incredible.
Humans actually summoned their Heroic Spirit selves? Is such a thing really possible?
Everyone couldn't believe it, but the facts were right in front of them.

[ Illyasviel Von Einzbern ⦍Magical Girl⦎ (Type-Moon): "Ahhh! So cool! Onii-chan, you're so cool!" ]
[ Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba): "My scalp is tingling! You, Emiya Shirou, deliver the ultimate comeback!" ]
[ Tohsaka Rin (Type-Moon): "Emiya-kun... actually summoned himself?! How is that possible!" ]
[ Senji Muramasa (Type-Moon): "Hmph, after suffering, he finally looks somewhat decent." ]
[ Red A ⦍EMIYA⦎ (Type-Moon): "Hmph, if it's about saving the world, then I won't lend you this power." ]
[ Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎ (Type-Moon): "Hmphuahahahaha! Mongrel, has the inner flame finally awakened! You've made this King wait too long!" ]
[ Lord El-Melloi II (Type-Moon): "Is this the Big Hero Emiya? His own Heroic Spirit transformation is already horrifying enough, and now he actually answered himself, Can this really happen to a human being?!" ]
[ Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald (Type-Moon): "His magic circuits and magic aptitude are the worst... Aren't magicraft aptitude and foundation everything!?" ]
[ Arceus (Pokémon): "Humans, with infinite possibilities, are truly a race favored by destiny." ]
[ .....]
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
Everything that happened before their eyes was no less than a magnitude ten earthquake!
Everyone's pupils trembled violently, looking at this scene in disbelief.
Emiya Shirou ... actually summoned his Heroic Spirit self? The mages who had just understood the mechanism of this Holy Grail War were shocked beyond words by this scene.
A miracle, this was a true miracle!
While they were still struggling with magicraft, the other party had already become a Heroic Spirit?!
Recalling the previous answer, "Big Hero Emiya Shirou cleared the Holy Grail War in one night for his sister."
Could it be that Emiya Shirou would fight his way through the Holy Grail War in this form, and even the "Girly Gil" would be defeated by this young man?!
In the Inner Sea of the planet, a blurry will gradually materialize.
.....
The planetary will, Gaia, looked at these humans in confusion.
Why, even though he himself was about to die, did these humans still stubbornly survive?
What Gaia wondered most was if the Ultimate One, borrowed from the Oort Cloud, had arrived too soon—and if he had also ended up smashing himself to death.

What was it like when a former classmate became a Heroic Spirit?
Tohsaka Rin couldn't answer, but there was an unspeakable subtlety in her heart, and what puzzled her even more was that the guy on the screen... looked a little familiar?
"Tsk,"
Red A didn't care about Tohsaka Rin's daze, but was a little annoyed.
What's the use of becoming a Heroic Spirit, working for the Counter Force all day long, living a life of pain, if he hadn't already become a Heroic Spirit and couldn't die, he would have died long ago.
He sought help from the Throne of Heroes, and the only one who answered him was himself.
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Barrage〜
Muramasa plus Red A, Black A, Nameless equals invincible.
Angra Mainyu's turban, Nameless's upper garment, Archer's Holy Shroud, HF Shirou's arm.
All the Emiyas responded to him. Now, let's fight through this Holy Grail Night!
Emiya Shirou took a deep breath. Although the scene before him was beyond his expectations, but...
"For Miyu, I will not hesitate to be an enemy of the world!"

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
At this moment, countless viewers widened their eyes, anticipating Emiya Shirou's performance.
How far would this useless boy, who couldn't do anything from the beginning, go for his sister?!
.....
『 Snow was still falling, and Shinji Mato, who was sent flying backward, had trembling pupils, unable to comprehend what was happening before his eyes.
Emiya Shirou picked up Sakura's scarf, which still held the girl's warmth.
"Hey! What's with that attitude! Do you think you're stronger than me just because we've exchanged a few moves?!", Shinji Matou roared.
"You're not very suited to be an Assassin," Emiya Shirou responded indifferently.
"Even you look down on me!" The angry Shinji Matou 's flesh began to swell, and in an instant, he transformed into a tens of meters tall monster made of flesh and blood!
"AHHHHH!", Shinji waved his tentacles, chasing Emiya Shirou
But Emiya Shirou dodged the opponent's attacks with agile movements, while the projected blades continuously slashed across the giant body.
"HAHAHAHA! I'M INVINCIBLE! I'M THE STRONGEST!" The wounds healed in an instant, and Shinji Matou laughed like a madman. 』

[ Cú Chulainn (Type-Moon): "...It's hard to imagine this is an Archer and an Assassin fighting. The Assassin doesn't assassinate, and the Archer doesn't use arrows." ]
[ Hassan of the Hundred Faces (Type-Moon): "This idiot, is he really not a Berserker?" ]
[ Gabriel (Gabriel DropOut): "Hehe, it's because of this kind of idiotic thing that my gaming experience is so bad." ]
[ Minato Namikaze (Naruto): "I wonder how this young man will defeat him." ]

Matou household—
Shinji was immersed in a solution of dead insect corpses, his eyes filled with despair and pain. Matou Zouken, standing beside him, nodded.
Sure enough, his grandson was always a good-for-nothing, no matter where he was, just like his trash magic aptitude.
But now it was good; he had a better place to go.
To be transformed by his newly developed Crest Worm solution to improve his aptitude!
It turned out that after the Fifth Holy Grail War ended, seeing that a petty thief who stole his bug magicraft could summon the legendary Apocalypse Knight.
Why couldn't he?
"Shinji, I'm sorry to put you through this."
Matou Zouken smiled silently.
—
『 "Ah hahahahaha!" The tens of meters tall body madly pounded the ground, Shinji Matou 's body had almost completely demonized!
"This level, how can it be the strongest?" Emiya Shirou looked at him coldly, and dozens of projected long swords pierced through Shinji Matou 's body.
"Explode," with a loud bang, flesh splattered, leaving only the core and Shinji Matou 's wailing.
Emiya Shirou aimed, anda Caladbolg IIwas about to be shot as an arrow to kill Shinji Matou, but at this moment, Sakura's scarf floated past his eyes.
Emiya Shirou's pupils slightly contracted, and the next moment, he put down his bow and arrow, "Sakura..."
Thank you...
The Caladbolg IIpierced directly through Shinji Matou, who was trying to sneak attack from behind.
It turned out that the tentacle monster was just a misleading container; Shinji Matou 's real purpose was to sneak attack from behind! 』

[ Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎ (Type-Moon): "Hmphuahahaha, I didn't expect that mongrel to not be so useless, but he's still too foolish!" ]
[ Matou Zouken (Type-Moon): "Shinji, to be able to do this, grandpa is proud of you." ]
[ Cú Chulainn (Type-Moon): "Wait, why does Emiya Shirou have Caladbolg? Isn't that Fergus's?!" ]
[ Lord El-Melloi II (Type-Moon): "This is Projection... But how can such a low-level magicraft replicate this Noble Phantasm?!" ]
[ Artoria Pendragon (Type-Moon): "Is this the first one... who can truly win this Holy Grail War?" ]
[ Senji Muramasa (Type-Moon): "If he can't win, then melt him down and reforge him! A guy who can't even save his sister, what kind of Heroic Spirit is he?!" ]

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜
"Senpai, can Emiya-senpai really last until the last Servant?"
Mash worried.
Although she had never heard of a Holy Grail War where one became a Heroic Spirit oneself, she thought it was similar to a normal Holy Grail War, where battles consume magical energy.
From the looks of it now, Emiya-senpai's magical energy wasn't that abundant.
"Daijoubu,"
Fujimaru Ritsuka raised an eyebrow,
"This isn't about saving the world, it's about a single obsession in his heart."
"Mash, you might not understand how crazy a person can be for their imouto."
( Translator-kun: Don't quote me on this. Author-san really used Japanese here. )
—
『 Emiya Shirou killed Shinji Matou with one blow, but he didn't expect Shinji Matou to have already died, and now he was just a puppet with Shinji Matou 's consciousness.
"I'll wait for you in hell first," Shinji Matou murmured with his last breath.
Emiya Shirou aided nothing, collected the cards, and headed to the next battlefield.
At Ryuudou Temple, in the poisonous sky, two figures fought fiercely, and finally, Emiya Shirou pierced Caster's body with an arrow.
"The people precious to me are gone. I threw away my pride. I threw even my bare self."
"And in the process, I become empty—"
In the center of the square, Rider petrified Emiya Shirou with her Mystic Eyes, but Shirou forcefully broke the curse with his tenacity, and his twin blades slashed across, bisecting Rider.
In the forest, the Nine Lives Blade Works' high-speed nine-strike pierced through heaven and earth, and Berserker turned into a pile of flesh and disappeared.
On the speeding train, the Lancer and Archer fought at close quarters. The Heroic Spirit Kenneth wielded his spear while also using his Volumen Hydrargyrum to defend himself.
"So that's how it is," after only a few rounds, Kenneth saw through the truth of the one named Emiya, "That form of yours, it's your future self, isn't it!"
Emiya Shirou didn't answer, only the long sword he wielded became even more fierce!
He could attack and defend; the current Kenneth was almost a perfect offense and defense in one!
But the next moment, a strange weapon pierced through the Volumen Hydrargyrum without any hindrance.
"What kind of weapon is that... What are you exactly?" Kenneth looked at the short blade in his abdomen in shock and died with hatred.
"Contracted with the world, a guardian of humanity." 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
Lord El-Melloi's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
His Volumen Hydrargyrum was pierced by some weapon? How was that possible?
What weapon could directly break through his ultimate Mystic Code, into which he poured his life's blood! Could it be Emiya Shirou's unique Noble Phantasm?!
He, a Lord of the Clock Tower, was actually defeated by a young man?! How was that possible!
"BOOM—!"
"BOOM—!"
Just then, a violent roar came from the hotel. Kenneth's face changed, but fortunately, Diarmuid reacted in time and quickly flew out with Kenneth and his fiancée.
In the distance, Kiritsugu Emiya watched this scene expressionlessly, not at all surprised by Kenneth's escape.
He wouldn't ignore the fact that the entire hotel was transformed into a magical workshop.
In fact... if it weren't for some karmic cost, he would have directly used his Origin Bullets...
"This is NNF service, remember to come again if you're satisfied~", a beautiful fox waved at Kiritsugu Emiya and disappeared.
Only a pile of high-tech weapons remained.

『 The battle continued, two figures fiercely collided on the ground, swords clashing, sparks flying!
The invisible longsword carried a strong wind, each strike bringing an invisible air current.
The Invisible Air blew Emiya Shirou away, and Saber's figure broke through the smoke!
"EXCALIBUR—!!!"
Saber, who wears Saber Prototype's armor,actually released Excalibur with one hand!
A terrifying beam of light hundreds of meters long cut through space, and a huge explosion engulfed Emiya Shirou.
This attack was unavoidable!
And after releasing this attack, Saber's only remaining hand trembled so much that she couldn't even hold her sword. 』
『 .....』
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "Eh, eh, eh, is it Lia, Excalibur? No wonder releasing it with one hand caused such damage. But the armor she wore...." ]
[ Kumoko (So I'm a Spider, So What?): "Is it really okay? Emiya Shirou isn't dead inside, is he?!" ]
[ Lady Avalon (Type-Moon): "Although it was wielded with one hand, facing an Excalibur head-on might not be a good idea~ after all~ even a magical girl hasn't tested the power of an Excalibur with just one hand." ]
[ Artoria Pendragon ⦍Saber Alter⦎ (Type-Moon): "Come here now, Merlin, I'll let you taste my Great Holy Sword." ]
[ Rimuru Tempest (Tensura): "The other world is too dangerous! There are light cannons everywhere! A slime can't survive there at all!" ]
[ .....]
〜In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower〜
Prototype's armor plus Lia's Excalibur? What a strange combination!
But then again, Merlin smirked, if it's Prototype Excalibur, it's an Anti-Star Noble Phantasm. Even if the puppet can't unleash its full power, it's enough to obliterate half of Fuyuki.
But this attack isn't weak either; that poor working stiff must have lost half his life.

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen. Such a terrifying attack, could Emiya Shirou ve died?
But the figure that reappeared on the screen completely dispelled everyone's thoughts.
.....
『 As the smoke cleared, Saber was shocked to find that the figure was completely unharmed!
"Caladbolg II—!"
A sun rose in place, and a huge explosion engulfed the two figures!
The terrifying aftershocks sent Emiya Shirou flying, and at the same time, his Heroic Spirit form could no longer be sustained, and Emiya Shirou exited his Heroic Spirit state.
War raged, smoke filled the air, Emiya Shirou gasped for breath, disheveled, but the figure in the sea of fire made his eyes tremble.
The young man, with a fierce expression, growled in a low voice, "Alright, since it's come to this, I'll seriously play with you, puppet!"
"Let's see... who will fall first!"
But the figure in the sea of fire was already unable to fight. In his last moment of clarity, he murmured, "Julian... I'll leave him to you."
The last card... collected!
Emiya Shirou, dragging his battered body, walked towards his final destination. 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
Took an Excalibur head-on! Fought through the Holy Grail War in one night?!!
Is this kind of thing actually true?!!
What a joke!!!
Countless mages roared internally; they never thought that Emiya Shirou would actually fight through the Holy Grail in one night, and the reason was just to save his sister!
Is this why he's called the Big Hero Emiya?!
For the obsession in his heart, he transformed himself into a Heroic Spirit, instigated the Holy Grail War with his flesh and blood, and ended this Holy Grail War in one night!
How brave and crazy...! He's simply a madman!
However, the only thing that made them a little regretful was that it seemed this battle didn't involve the 'Girly Gil' that appeared before.
Although she wasn't the genuine oldest king, it was clear that she could use her Noble Phantasms, even the EA!
But how could Emiya Shirou, who had already exited his Heroic Spirit state and was like a candle in the wind, fight against her?
To have achieved this much, this young man was already proud enough.
Everyone thought so, but the next moment, the figure on the screen made everyone pause.
Could it be...?!
Across all worlds, everyone also noticed that golden figure at the same time!
There was no way a human body could fight against a Servant of that level!
