Chapter 67 - Chapter 67: EX........Caliber

In another world, at a special node of this worldline—the golden city of Babylon! Noah witnessed this scene and frowned slightly. "This kind of flood... Why does it look so familiar... Could it be that this Noble Phantasm is..."

Noah stared wide-eyed at everything on the screen and had guessed the true origin of this Noble Phantasm.

In most myths on Earth, there are legends of a great flood destroying the world, and what Noah experienced was one of them. However, the flood there has a prototype, which is... the flood of Utnapishtim recorded in the Epic of Gilgamesh! Only with this possibility could such a world-destroying flood be summoned.

In the world of Chaldea, Ritsuka Fujimaru's surprised voice sounded: "How is this possible? It's actually a Noble Phantasm that summons a flood... And this momentum is going to submerge the entire human world?!"

This is the terrifying power of an Anti-Civilization Noble Phantasm!

"Summoning a flood to destroy everything... It is indeed a Noble Phantasm worthy of being called 'Anti-Civilization'."

"But I've probably guessed what this Noble Phantasm is. Is it the embodiment of the Utnapishtim Flood from the Epic of Gilgamesh?"

"Wait, in other words, to defeat King Arthur, the King of Heroes on the screen even used the flood that could destroy his own world?!"

Mash's face was full of disbelief.

"There's no need... From the previous battle, King Arthur couldn't beat the King of Heroes at all! Why use such a Noble Phantasm?"

"Because he's too serious? He values King Arthur too much?"

On the other side, in the timeline of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Gilgamesh was completely unable to sit still upon seeing this scene.

As the real him, he naturally recognized at a glance what the Noble Phantasm on the screen was—the Sword of the End, Enki.

This is a completely different Noble Phantasm from the Sword of Rupture. If the Sword of Rupture is a sword that "severs the world," then the Sword of the End is a sword that can bring destruction to the world!

It is a great treasure capable of destroying entire civilizations and exterminating life!

However, using such a Noble Phantasm in this situation... Gilgamesh was also somewhat silent.

"That guy..." He still gave a certain degree of recognition to himself for doing such a thing on the screen.

After all, even if it were him, if he possessed such a Noble Phantasm, he might use it to cleanse the entire world. Because in his view, people today have "degenerated."

In Gilgamesh's eyes, he is everything. He defines good and evil, establishes laws, fights against gods, and dances with death.

He accepts the offerings of his people and also bears their awe and fear. In the era of Uruk, when there were only a few city-states on Earth, he was the rule above all things.

He is proud and self-centered. He regards everything in the world as his private property. Only he holds the power of life and death.

The quality of the citizens of Uruk is evident to all, and in his eyes, people today are truly too inferior.

He is very dissatisfied with the quality of modern humans. Of course, this is judged from the perspective of his time.

The Golden King has never been one to sympathize with the weak. He believes these people are not qualified to live in this world.

Therefore, he decided to give humanity a trial through the Holy Grail, and only those who survive are worthy of being his subjects.

However, if he possessed the Sword of the End, he might not need the Holy Grail. He could simply use the Sword of the End to cleanse...

At this moment, as the audience discussed fervently, the images on the light screen continued to play.

[The flood was seen slowly descending from the sky.]

[There was no doubt that if such a flood were allowed to continue spreading, the entire world would be destroyed.]

[At this critical moment, Arthur, who had been lying on the ground, stood up once more.]

[The Sword of Promised Victory in his hand shone with an extremely dazzling light at this moment.]

[Due to this great flood capable of destroying the world, this Star Holy Sword had completely freed itself from its restraints!]

[Arthur was also very surprised by this scene, but he soon regained his composure and began to release his Noble Phantasm.]

["The Thirteen Restraints are released; the Round Table's judgment begins!"]

[As these words fell, terrifying magical energy instantly erupted from him.]

To the shock of all viewers, 12 solemn and sacred figures appeared in the light screen!

At this moment, behind Arthur, 12 figures radiating magical energy firmly captured the attention of all viewers. What was this...?

As one of the most famous knightly orders in the world, no one would fail to recognize them—the Knights of the Round Table!

According to legend, the noble knights led by King Arthur of Britain, the Round Table symbolizes "equality" and "unity."

The knights charged on the battlefield and discussed state affairs at the Round Table.

At this moment, in the world of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Artoria saw these 12 figures, and a trace of hesitation appeared on her face.

"This is Excalibur... but it seems very different from my own Sword of Promised Victory."

She saw the difference at a glance.

After all, she did not need the approval of other knights to activate the Sword of Promised Victory, but the King Arthur on the screen needed the approval of the other Knights of the Round Table to fully unleash the power of this holy sword!

However, despite this, she never expected to hear the name of the Knights of the Round Table again one day, which made Artoria feel somewhat emotional...

[Bullet Comments]

[Iskandar: Is this the famous Knights of the Round Table? I truly envy King Arthur. If only I could recruit them to conquer the world together.]

[Knights of the Round Table: We never expected to be involved.]

[Waver Velvet: Since Caster Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm is Anti-Civilization, then Arthur's Noble Phantasm must be Anti-Star, right? With this name, it must be powerful! It seems it might really be possible to resolve this flood!]

[Merlin: The show has begun, and the production value this time is absolutely explosive.]

[Zhuge Kongming: This all-knowing, crown-ranked mage who observes the past and future of the world has probably understood the subsequent situation by now.]

As everyone discussed this scene in the bullet comments, within the light screen...

[After the 12 phantoms appeared, they quickly began to speak words of recognition to release the Holy Sword:]

["This is a battle for survival—Kay, acknowledge it."]

["This is a battle against a stronger opponent—Bedivere, acknowledge it."]

["This is a one-on-one duel—Pellinore, acknowledge it."]

["This is a battle against injustice—Gaheris, acknowledge it."]

["This is a battle in pursuit of truth—Agravain, acknowledge it."]

["This is not a battle against fairies—Lancelot, acknowledge it."]

["This is a battle against evil—Mordred, acknowledge it."]

["This is not a battle for selfish desires—Galahad, acknowledge it."]

[With each phantom's acknowledgment, the light on the holy sword grew brighter and brighter.]

[One by one, the restraints were also unlocked after the Knights of the Round Table acknowledged them!]

["This is a battle for honor—Gawain, acknowledge it."]

["This is a battle alongside the brave—Tristan, acknowledge it."]

["This is not a battle against the good—Gareth, acknowledge it."]

["This is a battle to save the world—Arthur, acknowledge it!"]

[Finally, after King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table all acknowledged, the 13 restraints of the holy sword were fully released at this moment.]

[Boom!!!]

[A bright light flashed on the screen, and this Star Holy Sword now revealed an extremely dazzling radiance!]

[At this moment, the holy sword bloomed with the strength it was meant to possess.]

[The Invisible Air that had enveloped the Sword of Promised Victory was completely lifted, revealing the true form of this Star Holy Sword.]

[Along with the dazzling light, countless streams of magical energy churned incessantly in the air!]

[Under this powerful magic, a violent wind pressure was generated, howling... Such a strange scene naturally attracted the attention of all viewers.]

In the world of Chaldea, Romani Archiman stared at everything on the screen and said, "Lancelot, Gawain, Mordred... Does the King Arthur of the other world need the recognition of the Knights of the Round Table to fully unleash his power?"

Da Vinci also seemed somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting the holy sword to have its own restraints.

However, although the conditions for full release were harsh, this did not mean that the holy sword in King Arthur's hand was weaker than Artoria's; it might even be slightly stronger.

"Given this terrifying scene, I'm afraid the power of this holy sword after full release will be stronger than Artoria's holy sword!"

At this moment, a steady stream of bullet comments continued to emerge on the light screen.

[Bullet Comments]

[Artoria: Is this... the Sword of Promised Victory? Although it looks very similar to my holy sword, upon closer inspection, it seems different... and even releasing the Noble Phantasm requires the approval of the Knights of the Round Table, just like my holy spear?]

[Shirou Emiya: It's normal. After all, the King Arthur on the screen is from another world, and even his gender has changed. It's normal for the Noble Phantasm to change.]

[El-Melloi II: The Star Holy Sword, the legendary shining holy sword that can save the planet! It is said it was forged to defeat extraterrestrial enemies intent on destroying the stars, a holy sword that can repel almost all evil! If it is that treasure, perhaps Gilgamesh can be defeated!]

[Zhuge Kongming: I see, so it's the strongest weapon forged by the planet, just like the Holy Lance?]

[Merlin: It is too narrow to regard the strongest sword, which should only be wielded to save the world, as a personal weapon. Therefore, the Knight King of a certain ancient country and his twelve knights set strict rules for the Holy Sword and enforced them. That is the second sheath that hides the true blade of the Holy Sword—the Thirteen Restraints.]

[Merlin: The Holy Sword is only released in situations where multiple glories and missions can be achieved. The number of resolutions required for complete release is seven. And what is now displayed on the screen is the glory of the fully released Holy Sword!]

At this moment, in that light screen...

[The holy sword in Arthur's hand was like a bright star, bursting with dazzling light. Magical energy surged like a tide, constantly leaping on the sword, flashing with heart-pounding power.]

["Holy Sword User?!" Gilgamesh's voice was full of surprise and confusion.]

[Faced with this sudden change, Arthur's face was as calm as still water.]

[He stared at the rolling, world-destroying flood before him, golden energy fluctuations surrounding his body, as if resonating with heaven and earth.]

[His hair swayed gently under the brush of this power, as if narrating the impending changes.]

["It's time to end all this..." Arthur thought to himself, and the Sword of Promised Victory in his hand began to stir with golden light, like the first ray of morning sunshine, warm and full of hope.]

["This is the battle to save the world!" Arthur's voice was firm and powerful, as if it could pierce the clouds and reach the sky.]

[Before the words faded, the golden energy light gathered into an unstoppable torrent, making Arthur look like a savior standing in the golden waves. He held the holy sword high, as if to sever all the suffering in the world.]

["EX..." Arthur hummed, and the screen suddenly erupted with a violent gale, the howling sound deafening.]

["CALIBUR!!"] As Arthur roared, the holy sword in his hand broke through the sky like lightning and swung out completely, with endless power and determination, slashing toward the world-destroying flood.]

[At this moment, Arthur's figure left an indelible mark in everyone's heart; his courage and determination would become an eternal legend.]

[The flood caused by the Sword of the End, like a giant beast, continuously devoured everything around it. The city had long been submerged without a trace, leaving only a vast ocean.]

[At this life-and-death moment, a golden energy suddenly emerged from the vast ocean, and a violent aura erupted, shocking people.]

[Boom! ! !]

[The endless golden torrent was like divine punishment from heaven, fiercely bombarding the flood. Under the impact of this terrifying force, the water surface suddenly exploded, as if the entire world was shaking.]

[The terrifying heat wave continued to spread, and the water surface disappeared bit by bit under the evaporation of this force.]

[And the golden torrent seemed unsatisfied after completing this feat; it continued to pour out golden magical energy.]

[A golden light shot straight into the sky, and the golden energy continued to expand, as if it would swallow the entire world.]

[Soon, the entire screen was occupied by this golden torrent of magic, shining with a golden light, dazzling and brilliant.]

[After an unknown amount of time, the golden light finally gradually dissipated, and the video slowly returned to calm.]

[All the viewers were surprised to find that the flood capable of drowning the entire world had silently disappeared.]

[Not only had the flood disappeared, but not even a trace of water vapor could be seen!]

[Clearly, all this was caused by the terrifying Noble Phantasm, which had completely evaporated the flood.]

[And the Gilgamesh from another world had already vanished without a trace in the golden torrent, leaving only silence and shock.]

[Arthur stood there blankly, holding the holy sword, his gaze fixed on his hand, his expression seemingly complex...]

[And the image froze here...]

[At this moment, all the viewers were completely stunned. Is this the current Star Holy Sword User?]

[Is this the power of the fully released holy sword?]
