Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: Battle to Behold

[The scene in the light screen shifted to a very bright, large cavern.]

[Inside this cavern, magical power surged. There was a huge platform where the magical energy gathered.]

[Many small magic circles surrounded it, and these small circles together formed one enormous magic circle!]

[And in the center of the magic circle, a long-haired girl lay peacefully with her eyes closed.]

[Emiya Shirou walked in, saw the girl, and couldn't help but call out.]

["Miyu!"]

[Miyu lay quietly on the platform. Her eyes slowly opened, a trace of surprise appearing within them.]

["...Brother?" she called softly.]

["I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." The Emiya Archer gazed at Miyu, a look of guilt on his face.]

[Miyu's heart surged with complex emotions, and tears fell silently. "Brother, didn't you say that before?"]

[She choked up, "Brother and Mr. Kiritsugu only took me in because of my power. Am I... not just a tool? But why now..."]

[Tears streamed down Miyu's cheeks like pearls from a broken string as she immersed herself in sad memories. At that moment, the Emiya Archer's voice sounded again, breaking the silence.]

["Because after the story ended, my own thoughts never reached you!" Emiya Shirou's eyes were full of tenderness.]

[As his voice fell, the Emiya Archer took action. He slowly walked towards Miyu and gently threw the Class Cards he had worked so hard to collect all night into the air. Instantly, dazzling light shone everywhere. Those cards seemed to lose their gravity, suspended in mid-air, emitting a mysterious glow.]

[At that moment, a wondrous atmosphere filled the air, as if some unknown power was quietly awakening.]

[Comments]

[Illyasviel: In this world, as a brother, Emiya Shirou is really a role model for brothers everywhere, right? Even I feel a little jealous.]

[Emiya Shirou (Stay Night): Although my goal in this world is still to become a champion of justice, I won't neglect my family and loved ones!]

[Gilgamesh: Where is that Angelica holding the King's Power Card? Just watching this random faker come to the Holy Grail? He's already won the Holy Grail War. If we let him go like this, he can make a wish!]

At this moment, in the light screen.

[The Emiya Archer/Shirou explained gently: "The reason is actually very simple. Because I am your brother, and protecting my sister is my unshirkable responsibility." His voice was gentle yet firm, like a spring breeze warming the heart.]

[The seven Class Cards kept spinning in the air, releasing a steady stream of magical power. This power gathered together, forming a colorful radiance that illuminated the entire space. The Emiya Archer gently took Miyu's hand, connecting the two tightly.]

[Then, a simple yet profound wish resonated in their hearts: "I want to make a wish upon the Holy Grail, hoping to create a world where Miyu will never suffer again. There, she can meet kind and gentle friends, share laughter, and enjoy small, warm moments of happiness..."]

[As these words fell, a powerful force responded to their wish. It might be the power of the Holy Grail, or perhaps Miyu's own latent power, now fully awakened!]

[Endless magical power roared. A huge magic circle quickly emerged on the ground. Dazzling light flashed incessantly, as if to illuminate the whole world. With a roar, a beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through the heavens.]

[This light was like a bridge, connecting this world to other worlds. It seemed able to penetrate the boundaries of time and space, conveying warmth and hope to every corner. At this moment, both Miyu and the Emiya Archer felt an unprecedented power and hope.]

[Around the magic circle, saplings made of pure magical particles quietly emerged. They seemed alive, swaying gently. These saplings surrounded Miyu, guiding her into the massive pillar of light.]

[Through this pillar of light, Miyu would be able to go to a brand new, completely peaceful world.]

[In that world, Miyu would meet gentle and kind friends. They would laugh together and enjoy small but warm happiness.]

[At this moment, the Emiya Archer held Miyu's hand tightly, gazing affectionately at his sister. He knew that after this separation, they might never see each other again.]

[So, he wanted to look at Miyu carefully now, to deeply imprint her image in his mind.]

[Miyu also looked intently at her brother. Reluctance and attachment passed between them.]

[Although neither was willing to leave the other, the Holy Grail had begun to realize the wish made by the Emiya Archer.]

[Miyu was about to go to a beautiful world and live a happy life. After all, in this world, too many people coveted her power, making her life full of danger.]

[Although the Emiya Archer was powerful, he also had a vague premonition of his own end.]

[He understood that if he were no longer around to protect her, Miyu would have no one to rely on in this world. Therefore, he made such a wish, hoping Miyu could find a truly happy world of her own.]

[Watching his sister gradually pass through the light pillar to another world, the Emiya Archer's heart was filled with relief and reluctance. He knew this was a necessary parting.]

[However, at that moment, an uninvited guest quietly arrived...]

At this moment, in a certain world.

Miyu watched this scene on the light screen, tears welling up in her eyes.

In another world, she had a brother who gave so much for her, just so she could live a happy life. Her heart was full of emotion.

For now, in this world, it could be considered a comfort.

"Could it be that the happiness I have now is because of Brother Emiya's desperate battle in that world?"

And now, on the light screen.

[Comments]

[Gilgamesh: Foolish! Making such a wish is extremely foolish!]

[Waver Velvet: Julian and Angelica won't let this wish come true. Emiya will face a fierce battle next!]

[El-Melloi II: After continuous high-intensity combat, facing an enemy who has fully mastered the power of the King of Heroes in peak condition... and this enemy must be enraged right now. For Emiya, this is a huge challenge.]

And soon——

As the barrage scrolled across the light screen,

Almost everyone present focused their attention on this special Holy Grail War's...

Final battle!

Meanwhile, in the light screen, the video flashed again, showing the figure of the Emiya Archer:

[For the upcoming challenge, the Emiya Archer had already had a premonition. Although he had collected seven cards and successfully summoned the power of seven classes, he never forgot the Gilgamesh card that had been following him from the beginning. He knew that guy would definitely show up to obstruct.]

[His primary task now was to buy time, to gain more opportunity for Miyu.]

["My sister is working hard. Could you please wait a moment?" He tried to negotiate with Angelica, the wielder of the Gilgamesh card.]

[However, Angelica's character was arrogant. Asking her to wait was a fantasy.]

["Your wish will ultimately fail. You will never be recognized by the Holy Grail—a fake who barged into the Holy Grail War!" she sneered coldly.]

[As her words fell, the card in her hand turned into fragments. The next moment, Gilgamesh's iconic armor appeared on her body, but in a female version.]

[And her twin ponytails now turned the exact same color as Gilgamesh's hair!]

[This was the female version of Gilgamesh—Girl-Gilgamesh!]

At this moment, on a lamppost in the Fifth Holy Grail War timeline.

The golden Gilgamesh looked at this scene in the picture and couldn't help but sigh.

Although defeating Shirou Emiya aligned with his wishes, and seeing someone use his power to defeat Shirou Emiya was also somewhat satisfying...

However, when he thought that someone could use his power, and that this person was a woman, he felt inexplicably displeased.

"How dare this woman imitate the King's appearance?!"

At this moment, the final battle in the light screen began!

[A terrifying magical power surged from Angelica's body.]

[With a buzzing sound, countless golden ripples slowly emerged behind her. Then, one golden treasure after another appeared within the ripples.]

[BOOM!!!]

[Countless treasures rushed towards the Emiya Archer at lightning speed. This was the power of the strongest card—Gilgamesh!]

[Under the impact of this overwhelming force, the Emiya Archer was sent flying and fell heavily to the ground, dust flying.]

[The countless treasures fell like rain, deeply embedded in the surrounding land, gleaming with a heart-stopping light.]

[Meanwhile, Angelica, clad in armor that displayed Gilgamesh's luxurious style, gently waved her hand. Golden ripples spread around her once more, signaling another round of powerful attacks was coming.]

[Faced with this scene, the Emiya Archer suddenly understood. He realized the opponent before him would be the most powerful enemy he encountered this time. An unprecedented pressure made sweat bead on his forehead.]

["A real card with the power of Gilgamesh..." he muttered to himself, a trace of helplessness and solemnity in his words.]

[Angelica did not give him much time to breathe. She slowly approached the Emiya Archer, each step seeming to trample on his psychological defenses.]

["Without a card, a mere human dares to stand before the King of Heroes." Her voice echoed softly, yet filled with unquestionable majesty.]

["It's simply ignorance!" she continued, her tone revealing disdain for the Emiya Archer's meager power.]

["Regardless of East or West, past or present, all treasures possessed by humanity are my power." Her words brimmed with confidence and arrogance, as if declaring her own invincibility.]

At this moment, looking at Angelica's arrogant appearance in the picture,

Listening to Angelica's arrogant words,

All the mages and Heroic Spirits felt somewhat overwhelmed.

[Comments]

[Waver Velvet: So she thinks she is the King of Heroes? Using power that doesn't belong to her, she's so arrogant, mocking others, claiming all treasures are her power?]

[Kirei Kotomine: Gilgamesh, this person not only used the card controlling your power but also completely copied your personality. It's quite amusing!]

[Gilgamesh (Archer): Kirei Kotomine, you insolent mongrel! You, a lowly priest, actually dare to watch my amusement!]

[Gilgamesh (Archer): This woman who doesn't know her place, not only stole my power but also my treasures?!]

[Rin Tohsaka: Gilgamesh, did your terrible personality get integrated into your power? Is that why Angelica's personality is as bad as yours?]

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the light screen grew increasingly tense.

[Looking at Angelica's approach, the Emiya Archer seemed to suddenly realize something. He struggled to get up from the ground, a look of understanding dawning on his face.]

["So that's how it is..." he muttered to himself. At that moment, he suddenly recalled what Sakura had said before. "No wonder Sakura said this is the strongest card."]

[However, even facing the strongest Heroic Spirit and the top-tier card, the Emiya Giant's determination did not diminish in the slightest. He knew he could not lose here, because he had to protect his sister.]

[Even without a Heroic Spirit card in hand, his resolve remained firm. He silently thought: "Hold on a little longer, it will be over soon. Just... delay a bit more."]

[The Emiya's face showed a firm expression, which made Angelica frown. She said displeased, "You guy..."]

[But the Emiya Archer paid no attention to her dissatisfaction.]

["Bearing humanity... How abstract and noble."]

[He continued: But...]

[The Emiya Archerspoke slowly, his eyes flashing with determination, "Even I have something I must bear."]

[Angelica listened to the Emiya's words with a cold face.]

[She said coldly, "Personal feelings?"]

[There was no emotion in her voice, as if discussing something trivial.]

["Compared to the safety of humanity, these are boring things." She said contemptuously, seemingly scornful of everything the Emiya Archerheld dear.]

[However, the Emiya Archer was not shaken by her ridicule. He took a deep breath and then exhaled firmly: "Perhaps it seems that way to you. But for me, these are the reasons I fight and the meaning of my existence."]

[Buzz—!!!]

[A strange sound echoed in the air. Then, the treasures embedded in the ground seemed pulled by an invisible force, collected behind her one by one.]

[Behind her, an extremely dazzling light bloomed again. Countless golden ripples emerged once more, like a boiling golden ocean.]

[One after another, treasures exuding terrifying power revealed their true forms from the ripples. At that moment, countless treasures poured down upon the Emiya Archer like dense rain!]

[Yet, facing this overwhelming attack, the Emiya Archer's face showed no fear. Even without the Install Card, he must delay Angelica!]

[Thinking this, an unusual magical power emerged from the Emiya Archer's body. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Trace, on!"]

[Along with his shout, a pair of black and white blades suddenly appeared in his hands, shining like two bolts of lightning.]

[Swish, swish, swish!!!]

[Those treasures seemed to go mad at that moment, flying towards the Emiya Archer's position.]

This huge and heated battle scene also made the people watching the battle across different timelines tense up.

Fifth Holy Grail War timeline.

Shirou Emiya, his face flushed, sighed:

"Although I don't want to admit it... this is indeed one of the most intense duels since the video started broadcasting..."

"That guy..."

"The strength he can display... is truly astonishing..."
