Chapter 70: Ea! The Star of Creation That Split Heaven and Earth! Unlimited Blade Works!
〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
El-Melloi II slapped the table, utterly astonished.
If the opponent had summoned himself, it could be explained by what Kayneth said about the Throne of Heroes being a place where time was chaotic.
But now what?!
The Unlimited Blade Works of Shirou Emiya on the screen was so shocking; those countless sword-graves told of countless legends.
The so-called Reality Marble was a reflection of the mind.
It was a magic that materialized one's inner landscape!
Once activated, at this moment, the size of oneself and the world would swap, and the world would be completely confined within a tiny container.
And this tiny world was the World Egg.
The only Reality Marble he knew, had seen, and even experienced firsthand, was that guy's
Ionioi Hetairoi!
El-Melloi II was very clear about how rare magicians with Reality Marbles were.
Even the Clock Tower, the Wandering Sea, the Atlas Institute, those self-proclaimed geniuses, none of them could use a Reality Marble!
And while the appearance of this trump card greatly increased Shirou Emiya's chances of defeating Angelica,
El-Melloi II felt a little uneasy. After all, it was Gilgamesh who defeated Iskandar back then. At this moment, it felt like returning to the Fourth Holy Grail War...

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
In the Singularity of the Knights of the Round Table—
"Oh? 'Made Of Swords'? Not bad, not bad! Hahahaha!"
Ozymandias slapped his thigh and burst into laughter.
A Reality Marble was a reflection of the mind. He hadn't expected such an interesting young man a thousand years later.
"But it's far inferior to this King's Glorious Great Temple Complex!"
Ozymandias said proudly.
That was a massive, monstrous composite temple complex, combining numerous huge temples and shrines, the strongest Reality Marble!
It could advance and crash like a tomb, or retreat and defend.
Once an enemy entered, they would surely die...
Ozymandias's face paused slightly, as if he remembered something, and he unconsciously touched his neck, his face showing anger.
"Damn, actually ambushed this King when he was careless. If this King catches you, I'll tear you to..."
Before he could finish, a cool breeze blew across Ozymandias's neck, and the Pharaoh immediately shut up, following the good advice.

〜Jujutsu Kaisen World〜
"Is this another world's Domain Expansion?"
Kenjaku looked at the Unlimited Blade Works on the screen with interest.
A world of swords? Recalling the young man's fighting style, although he was an archer, he seemed to always fight with swords.
Could it be an ability born from the mind or origin?
He just wondered if he could defeat that woman using the Gilgamesh card with this.

[ Miyo Takamiya (Date A Live): "Eh~ this young man also has a Reality Marble, he's really amazing~" ]
[ Arcueid Brunestud: "Reality Marbles were originally abilities that spirits and demons could wield, but after long years, the magicraft to create a personal mental world was completed, making it possible for some high-level spellcasters to create Reality Marbles. I just didn't expect such a young man to be able to control this ability." ]
[ Aleister Crowley (A Certain Magical Index): "It's not an ordinary space, but a new small world independent of this one? So..." ]
[ Romani Archaman: "A Reality Marble is indeed one of the ultimate expressions of magicraft, it's a taboo among forbidden arts, an arcana among arcana, in some ways only inferior to the Five True Magic." ]
[ Iskandar: "Hahahahaha! Young man, after this battle, are you interested in conquering the world with me?" ]
[ El-Melloi II: "Hey, hey, don't just set up death flags for people." ]
[ Yato (Noragami): "I see! I understand, so this young man can stir-fry that sparkly girl, right?" ]
[ Merlin: "Stir-fry... This is truly, absolutely not. If that person takes out the Ea, this space, along with Shirou, will be reduced to ashes, you know~" ]
[ Tezcatlipoca: "So, it's just ridiculous! Why can Gilgamesh use a creation Noble Phantasm? Is he the world's favorite son?!" ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone still didn't favor Shirou Emiya, for no other reason than, against a world-destroying Noble Phantasm, what could Shirou Emiya use to block it?
A surge of passion? The determination to protect his sister?
Completely impossible.
Based on previous battles, they clearly understood that the power contained within Ea was already beyond the scope of compatibility or battle conditions.
It was an absolute military force that could destroy the world itself.
Regardless of whether the opponent was an individual or a group, it would dismantle their entire world!
The terrifying power it displayed before was merely Gilgamesh's playful use of power!
Unless Shirou Emiya also possessed a world-destroying Noble Phantasm, even a slight difference would lead to his demise.

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
"So that guy's completely finished, isn't he!"
Rin Tohsaka vigorously shook Red A's tense body, trembling.
"No, didn't I say,"
Red A pushed away Rin Tohsaka's hand and said seriously,
"that is to cut off that guy's elbow before he uses it."
That's right, to defeat Gilgamesh, one could only pray for his arrogance and overconfidence.
—
『 "Then, as you wish, I will let you sleep forever beneath these tombstones," Angelica said coldly and proudly.
In an instant, from the golden ripples, endless golden Noble Phantasms shot towards Shirou Emiya like a storm. With a thought, Shirou Emiya, in this world of swords, had countless long swords block the golden Noble Phantasms!
Looking closely, although the quality was inferior to Angelica's Noble Phantasms, with sheer quantity and speed, Shirou Emiya could even temporarily suppress Angelica.
Shirou Emiya attacked from a distance while continuously approaching Angelica.
The twin blades in his hands gleamed with cold light, shattering the next wave of weapons from the Gate of Babylon before they could be fired!
"Before they were even fired..." Angelica was startled.
"Too slow!" The next moment, a cold light flashed across Angelica's chest!
Did he succeed...? No!
Shirou Emiya's expression was shocked; he hadn't touched anything just now!
"Don't underestimate the Ainsworth family," Angelica glanced coldly at Shirou Emiya. 』

"Damn it! If it were the real Gilgamesh, this strike would definitely cut him in half! At the very least, it would cut off an elbow!"
Red A slapped his thigh, lamenting with great regret.
"How do you know? Archer,"
Rin Tohsaka looked at the earnest Red A suspiciously.
"That's naturally I..."
Red A responded, then sighed,
"Of course, I deduced it. Look at that guy, he's so arrogant, you can tell he's an overconfident braggart."
"Ending him when he's unprepared is the only possibility."
"Is that so?"
Rin Tohsaka looked doubtful, always feeling that this guy was hiding something from her.
And she felt that this Servant she summoned... seemed a bit like Emiya?
On the other side—
"Mongrel!"
The chuunibyou Gilgamesh showed a hint of astonishment. If it had been him in person just now, perhaps he really would have...
Good, good, his crimson snake eyes held visible killing intent.
Today, he would see just how much these two mongrels would enrage him!

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Although everyone regretted the missed strike, if Angelica, who possessed the Gilgamesh card, was killed so easily, wouldn't it be a laughingstock?
That would simply be a pure smear on the King of Heroes!
But they hadn't expected Angelica to be so powerful, yet still add an insurance policy for herself.
How much longer could Shirou Emiya last?
.....
『 "Game over," Angelica said coldly.
Shirou Emiya's body was teleported into the air by space displacement, and at the same time, two giant weapons appeared above Shirou Emiya.
"Come, Ig-Alima! Sul-Sagana!"
Spitting out the dawn horizon that incinerates all seas, carving out the verdant horizon that opens a thousand mountains.
From the golden ripples, thousands of meters of divine artifacts were born from this world of blizzards!
The two sky-splitting weapons emitted an unparalleled divine light!
The terrifying, oppressive force seemed to crush this entire world!
Shirou Emiya, falling in mid-air, his pupils suddenly contracted, greatly alarmed, but the next moment, the young man's eyes became firm!
The Ig-Alima was reflected in his eyes. In just an instant, Shirou Emiya analyzed and replicated it!
A giant Ig-Alima, thousands of meters long, was born from Shirou Emiya's hand!
"BOOM—!"
A deafening collision resounded across the wilderness, and the terrifying aftermath submerged the blizzard within hundreds of meters!
"It's not over yet!" The young man's face showed ferocity, his magic circuits burning intensely!
In just an instant, Shirou Emiya actually created a divine construct again with his bare hands!!!
The Sul-Sagana, spewing divine light, shot straight into the sky!
A massive explosion echoed through the clouds, and Shirou Emiya's figure fell straight down in a sky full of fire, along with the four divine weapons!
Flames soared to the sky, and this sword world was completely turned into a purgatory!
Space twisted and deformed, sword-graves and the young man burned together in the flames.
Pain, suffocation, his body felt as if it was being torn apart, and all his magic circuits began to burn the young man's life at an extremely terrifying speed!
Shirou Emiya knelt on the ground, panting heavily, his expression distorted by his near-death state! 』

[ Emiya Miyu: "...Onii-chan!" ]
[ Fubuki (One Punch Man): "Just by glancing at it, he replicated the weapon he saw? What an absurd power!!" ]
[ Sakata Gintoki (Gintama): "HOLD ON, UCHIHA SASU— I MEAN EMIYA SHIROU! LET YOUR SOUL LIVE ON, GRASP LIFE TIGHTLY! SEIZE IT, SUPPORT IT, BITE IT, BEG FOR IT! NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, DON'T GIVE UP!" ]
[ Kirschtaria Wodime: "Truly incredible. Although it's merely the lowest quality, lowest grade, Projection magicraft, to replicate it to such an extent, this is no longer genius, but a monster that needs to be designated for sealing." ]
[ Daybit Sem Void: "His existence is a miracle in itself." ]
[ Erwin Smith (Attack on Titan): "Since it's already confirmed that it's the most precious person, then fight, YOUNG MAN! NEVER GIVE UP, NO MATTER WHAT!!!" ]
[ Homura Akemi (Puella Magi Madoka Magica): "That's right... If this world wants to stop you, THEN DESTROY THIS WORLD!" ]
[ Pascal (Nier Automata): "Precious person... incomprehensible." ]

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
"Yes... that's right! This is the greatest example that refutes the theory of bloodline superiority and inferiority!"
El-Melloi II's body trembled with excitement.
If what he saw before was just a guess that Shirou Emiya possessed other abilities, then what about those two sky-splitting, mountain-cleaving weapons?!!
The memory of being completely denied by his professor, Kayneth, in his youth, surged into his mind again.
Even though he was now a Lord(Monarchs), he was still moved to tears; this was a miracle enough to shake and even change the entire magical world!
What shocked El-Melloi II even more was that the divine weapons were created by Shirou Emiya with just a glance, and instantly!
And it seemed that their power was not even inferior to the divine weapons in Gilgamesh's treasury!
"Shirou Emiya..."
El-Melloi II deeply engraved this name in his mind. No matter what the outcome, this battle would forever become the young man's legend!

〜Dragon Raja World〜
"This is a true man...!"
Lu Mingfei's scalp tingled, and tears welled up in his eyes.
His ability could also achieve Empty Dream Manifestation, but why did he, in comparison, seem like...
A pile of garbage!
"Perhaps, one day I can also do this much for someone I cherish!"
Lu Mingfei's eyes were filled with determination!

〜In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower〜
"Although it's just a shell, Shirou, you've exceeded my expectations too much~"
Merlin couldn't suppress the joy on his face.
Is this the young man Lia recognized?
To be able to do so much for his sister, even though he didn't quite understand, didn't stop him from being joyful.
"Now then~ Shirou Emiya, let me see your justice...."
Merlin stared intently at the screen.
—
『 "Your existence has a flaw," Angelica's voice came from the smoke, "for the last myth of old humanity that we depict."
"You are merely a blemish, that hateful ability," in the raging fire, Angelica's expression was as dark as water.
"The magical rights you possess for some unknown reason, and that absurd belief like a dead man's."
"LET ME SEVER THEM ALL!!"
Space shattered layer by layer, and a weapon seemingly imbued with the power to cleave the world was grasped by Angelica.
Ea—!
Crimson magic enveloped the entire world, and Angelica stood tall in the sky!
At the center of the swirling vortex, in the midst of the vast, ocean-like magic, space shattered, collapsed, compressed, and converged into a singularity!
The entire Reality Marble began to tremble violently, as if it would collapse in the next moment!
Angelica looked down at Shirou Emiya like an ant and said arrogantly.
"Along with your world—"
Shirou Emiya stood frozen, gazing at the weapon that was like a sword yet not a sword, his heart filled with infinite shock.
What kind of weapon was that...
Cannot be replicated, cannot be analyzed... That weapon should not exist in this world. 』

[ Sengoku (One Piece): "Is it over? I didn't expect that even with a Servant card, that weapon could be used." ]
[ Ishtar: "Ahhh, I'm so angry! You, Golden Sparkle, are completely cheating! How can anyone win against that weapon!" ]
[ Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎: "MONGREL!!! Not only have you dared to wield this King's beloved friend's Chains of Heaven—now you've even defiled Ea itself! MONGREL!!! Have you thought about how you want to die?" ]
[ Angelica Ainsworth: "Hmph… Then by all means, try." ]
[ Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎: "MONGREL!! If our paths ever cross—I will reduce you to ash!" ]
[ Orochimaru (Naruto): "Against that weapon, there's no possibility left." ]
[ Deep Sea King (One Punch Man): "Hahahaha! Can't you tell that person is already embracing his fate? I can't wait to see his ugly form turn into a bloody mess!" ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone sighed. Even though Shirou Emiya gave his all, in the end, nothing changed.
In the face of absolute power, the weak were so pathetic.
Pitiable, how pitiable...
However, to have achieved this much, he could already proudly hold his head high and receive the warrior's medal!
.....
〜Fairy Tail World〜
"I WON'T GIVE UP!!! SHIROU EMIYA, YOU MUST HOLD ON!!"
Natsu roared with all his might.
"Idiot, he can't hear you,"
Gray said in a low voice.
"SO WHAT!"
Natsu's body burst with terrifying flames, his eyes bloodshot,
"If he can't hear, we don't shout? If we can't win, we don't fight?!"
"Just because the enemy is stronger than us, do we just meekly offer our necks to be slaughtered?!"
"ABSOLUTELY NOT GIVING UP! He come this far, how can he give up now!"
Who would give up!?
—
『 "There is no sword in this world that can contend with it," Shirou Emiya said in silence.
In the eye of the storm, even breathing was extremely difficult for him. In Angelica's eyes, perhaps he was just a hateful insect.
But...
Even so, he would stake everything!!
Because he was still alive, because he had not yet perished, because he still had someone he wanted to protect!!
The entire world began to tremble violently, the endless sword-graves shook intensely, as if they felt the young man's wrath, and the sound of swords clashing shook the heavens and earth!
Countless long swords shot straight into the sky, arriving as one with the young man's wave of his hand!
"ALTHOUGH IT'S UNFAIR, LET ME RETURN THE FAVOR WITH ALL MY SWORDS!!!"
The roaring sea of swords, like a tsunami, like mountains, charged towards the shining stars!
"ENUMA ELISH—!!"
(The Star of Creation That Split Heaven and Earth) 』

〜Myriad Worlds livestream Barrage〜
Burning! So burning!!!
Everyone's scalps tingled, all drawn in by Shirou Emiya at this moment!
How could a mere third-rate magus achieve this?!!
