[Gilgamesh frowned and turned his gaze to the pool of rotting flesh behind him. Then, he retracted his gaze and locked it firmly on Emiya Shirou.]
[Suddenly, the golden ripples behind Gilgamesh dissipated one by one, replaced by a single golden ripple condensed on his right hand. A huge golden key broke through the light; a red magical flow instantly filled the entire sky and finally gathered in his hand, transforming into a massive sword—Ea, the Sword of Severance!]
["Can't decipher it? That weapon... I can't even glimpse its structure!" Emiya Shirou widened his eyes, full of astonishment.]
[Bullet Comments]
[Waver Velvet]: This weapon... it's really impressive. Even this treasure was taken out. I'm afraid Emiya Shirou will meet his end here.
[Iskander]: Hahahaha, even seeing it for the second time, I can still feel the immense power of this sword. It is a treasure against the world, worthy of the name!
[Merlin]: Is this an EX-rank Noble Phantasm? Even through the light screen, you can feel its momentum just by looking.
[Archibald]: Even if the Heroic Spirit Emiya (Archer) came, he couldn't stop it, right?
[Matou Sakura]: No! I believe that Senpai can do it! No matter how powerful the opponent is, you will definitely be the final winner!
At this moment, in the light screen, Gilgamesh spoke to Emiya Shirou with a mocking look.
["Then let me see what you can save with your fakes!" Gilgamesh activated Ea without hesitation. "Destroy everything, Enuma Elish!"]
[Instantly, the gale caused by magical energy formed a spatial fault. The entire Ryuudou Temple was wrapped in dazzling light. Then, the light swept over everything around like a tide. Emiya Shirou tried his best and projected streams of Noble Phantasms before the light swallowed him. However, these streams of light were shattered in the blink of an eye, and Emiya Shirou was also blown away.]
[He fell heavily to the ground and was thrown more than ten meters away.]
["That's it. As expected, a fake is always a fake," Gilgamesh sneered. "If I had known this earlier, it might have been more interesting to keep Archer. Although he is also a faker, his philosophy is not vulgar."]
[Emiya Shirou lay on the ground, his body trembling.]
["Ah… Come to think of it, that guy seemed to have said that too," Gilgamesh continued to mock. "Your ideals are just borrowed things, and a man with nothing of his own in his heart can achieve nothing. He was really arrogant."]
["Companion of justice? A world where no one has to get hurt? How ridiculous. There is no world where happiness can be preserved without anyone getting hurt. Humans are beasts who cannot sing the praises of life without sacrifice. The so-called equality is just a joke of the weak who dare not look directly at the darkness. Mongrel, your so-called ideals are just excuses to cover up ugliness."]
[Gilgamesh laughed mockingly. The laughter was deafening, as if it would tear the entire space apart.]
At this moment, the Tohsaka Mansion.
Tohsaka Rin sighed.
"I still didn't make it to the end. I was eliminated early, Archer."
She turned her head and looked at Archer, her eyes dim.
"But wanting to create a world where no one needs to be hurt and everyone can be happy... this ideal is really far-reaching, worthy of an Ally of Justice."
Tohsaka Rin's gloom was swept away. She was unwilling to fail, but this was still something that hadn't happened yet. Before it happens, everything is unknown.
"Tsk, so my goal wasn't achieved?" Archer said lightly.
Hearing Archer's words, Tohsaka Rin showed a curious expression.
"Your purpose? Archer, what is your purpose? The fragments in the middle flashed by so fast I didn't even have time to see them."
Archer fell silent again, pretending not to hear Rin's question.
The battle in the light screen continued!
[Emiya Shirou stared at the "hole" condensed by the Holy Grail in the sky, his heart filled with complex emotions.]
["Yes, that's right. This ideal is borrowed. I just imitated it when I saw someone saving someone else. Therefore, this is not an emotion released from my own heart; I was forced to become a helper for others, driven by a compulsive idea like a curse. Therefore, I am a fake, and such hypocrisy can't save anyone in the end. But——"]
["Even so, I still think this ideal is beautiful. It was not born from me, but just a decoration that I imitated when I saw the figure of the person who saved others. At that time, my heart became empty. I felt that everyone died equally, and I could not save anyone. Human beings would always exist at this level. I could only give up and could not suppress the horror in front of me."]
["So, I yearn for this ideal. It is precisely because I cannot obtain it that I long for this noble and pure emotion even more!"]
["Is it because it is not my own emotion that it is a fake? Because it is a fake, can I not touch it? No, I think that must be wrong."]
[Just as he stretched out his hand when struggling to survive in the fire, Emiya Shirou also stretched out his hand at this moment.]
["It doesn't matter if it is a fake. You must work hard to realize an ideal that cannot be realized. It is an unrealizable dream and an unattainable utopia. So, even if Emiya Shirou is a fake, the emotion that exists in his heart is undoubtedly real!"]
["I can't save everyone. I've already known that—"]
["That man said its true form is hypocrisy. Even so, the man who said that continued to be hypocritical until his death."]
["Then I can do it too. Even if it's something borrowed, even if it's always a fake, it doesn't matter."]
["Even in the future, I have nothing to ask for, and I am satisfied."]
[Emiya Shirou opened his eyes and raised a firm smile: "What? It's just like that!"]
[He slowly got up and stood up majestically.]
[At the moment of being hit, he had opened his shield. Although the opponent had a trick, this blow should have been fatal. However, unexpectedly, Emiya Shirou was extremely tenacious.]
["Holding back a trick? Ha, you have so many treasures; what is there to be stingy about now?" Emiya Shirou sneered, a firm light in his eyes.]
