Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Hypocrisy

[After the battle between Archer and Berserker, the light screen began to flicker rapidly.]

[Various images appeared within it.]

[There was an image of Emiya Shirou projecting the Sword of Promised Victory (Excalibur), and also an image of Saber finally defeating Sasaki Kojirou.]

[This was a summary of the Fifth Holy Grail War across different world lines.]

[Just as all the magi and Heroic Spirits were discussing it with great relish...]

[The light screen darkened, and when it lit up again, it had returned to its normal speed.]

[And at this moment, in the light screen, Emiya Shirou and Gilgamesh were facing each other.]

[Bullet Comments]

[Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald]: No, why is Emiya Shirou facing the King of Heroes? Shouldn't it be the Heroic Spirit Emiya, i.e., Archer, facing the King of Heroes? How did the duel between the Archer of the Fourth and Fifth Wars become a duel between the King of Heroes and the Master of the Fifth War?

[Waver Velvet]: No, even Rider couldn't beat him, so Emiya Shirou is going to fight him in his human body?

[Waver Velvet]: Even Rider's Noble Phantasm was a Reality Marble, but he couldn't win! Emiya Shirou... I can't imagine it.

[Tohsaka Rin]: This is too exaggerated. Before the Holy Grail War, Emiya Shirou was just an ordinary person who knew a little magic. In the short time of the Holy Grail War, has he grown to this extent?

[Archibald]: I want to know now, how can Emiya Shirou fight the King of Heroes? Could it be that he has now mastered the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya?

[Gilgamesh]: Mongrel! How dare a fake stand before this king!

In the bullet comments, all the audience were shocked by the scene in the light screen.

At the same time, the battle in the light screen began!

[At this moment, Gilgamesh fully demonstrated the power of his treasury, the "Gate of Babylon."]

[More than ten dazzling golden ripples were neatly arranged. 960 prototypes of world-renowned treasures were transformed into sharp arrows at this moment, possessing destructive power, aimed directly at Emiya Shirou.]

["With my skills, it is difficult to defeat that guy's treasures head-on."]

[Emiya Shirou thought to himself, "But what I can do is use replicas of the same treasures he shoots to collide and cancel them out."]

["Trace on!" Emiya Shirou shouted in a low voice. His eyes locked onto the golden ripples, and he began to project a blue magical light, tracing along the outlines of the swords within the golden rings.]

["Resonance complete based on experience. All projections—standby!" he announced loudly.]

At this moment, the timeline of the Fifth Holy Grail War. Emiya Residence.

At this moment, Saber, Illya, Tohsaka Rin, and Archer were in Emiya Shirou's home.

Several people were watching the scene on the screen. Except for Archer, all showed shocked expressions.

Even Emiya Shirou himself was no exception.

"This is Archer's projection magecraft! Emiya, you actually mastered it so well?"

Tohsaka Rin was very shocked. The Emiya Shirou in front of her was obviously a rookie now. She didn't expect that after a while, he would be able to master such large-scale projection magecraft!

"But, Shirou, how did you suddenly have so much magical energy?" Illya was a little confused.

Emiya Shirou himself said he had no idea. After all, this was something that would happen in the future. How could he know now?

"Maybe it's the power of Avalon?" Saber speculated.

At the same time, Gilgamesh in the light screen also responded to Emiya Shirou's projection magecraft.

[Gilgamesh watched all this leisurely, a playful smile on his face: "That's quite a lot. I see, you copied all the treasures I showed. Well, let me give you a score. No matter how exquisite your copies are, I will completely wipe them from this world without a trace."]

["Freeze out!" Gilgamesh ordered coldly.]

["Sword barrel full open!" Emiya Shirou followed closely behind. The copied, projected treasures turned into blue streams of light and suddenly burst forth.]

[The two forces faced each other in mid-air. In an instant, sword shadows crossed and clanged.]

[Gilgamesh looked down at all this and sneered: "Your replicas are really durable. But a hasty imitation will eventually break."]

[The golden ripples unfolded again and shot out mercilessly.]

["Trace on!" Emiya Shirou shouted again. The blue magical energy condensed instantly and collided with the golden arrows in the air.]

["Your idea is really stupid," Gilgamesh sneered. "You knew you couldn't beat me, but you still chose to fight me head-on. You should have chosen to destroy the Holy Grail; that would have been the wisest thing to do. How could you possibly defeat me?"]

["But you chose to save that man," he continued. "If you want to stop the Holy Grail's descent, killing Sakura directly is the most straightforward way. As a magus, you don't even need to cross that quagmire; you can easily put her to death. But you chose this hypocrisy. This is the true portrayal of you, a hypocrite!"]

[Boom! The treasures of the two collided again, releasing a dazzling light, then turned into starlight and dissipated in the air.]

[Bullet Comments]

[Emiya Kiritsugu]: So Matou Sakura became the Holy Grail in the Fifth Holy Grail War?

[Flat Escardos]: Oh, who cares about that? Shouldn't the focus be on Emiya Shirou's projection magecraft?

[Tohsaka Rin]: Emiya's projection magecraft...

[Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald]: This is truly... unheard of, unseen! To be able to grow enough to fight against a Servant in such a short time, to be able to fight with magecraft and Noble Phantasms like this... this is simply a genius among geniuses!

[Lord El-Melloi II (Waver Velvet)]: But after all, it is a projection, and there is still a difference from the real thing. Emiya Shirou is now at a disadvantage. If it continues like this for long, I'm afraid the final outcome will still be defeat.

[Gilgamesh]: A fake is a fake! No matter how similar, it will only lose in the end!
