At this moment, within the light screen.
[The colorless space was like a ravenous beast, spreading wantonly, gradually devouring the Underworld's territory bit by bit.]
[Ereshkigal, the Underworld Goddess, felt her domain shrinking and could no longer remain calm.]
["In the sky lies an endless ocean; on the earth, a deep cage!"]
[She chanted loudly, "My hammer embodies the Underworld's wrath!"]
["Appear, Fiery Temple!"]
["Upon the Spirit Peak, embrace the Underworld's wrath!"]
[Spirit Peak Embracing the Underworld's Wrath: Originating from deep underground, with the earth's long pulse, the Mistress of the Underworld swings her hammer. The earthquake and crustal churning seem to cause Mount Ebifu to collapse in the shock.]
[As the Noble Phantasm fully unfolded, Ereshkigal was filled with confidence.]
[The blessing of infinite power made the entire Underworld tremble as if under her iron hammer. Ancient rocks burst from the earth, and boundless energy tightly bound Tiamat's true form.]
["Did it work? Was Tiamat stopped?"]
[Fujimaru Ritsuka asked in amazement, "Incredible, Ereshkigal, you actually sealed Beast II!"]
[This assault had temporarily curbed the Beast's movements.]
["Oh? You materialized Nergal's temple? Impressive. Even in the Underworld, this move can be called a unique skill."]
[Suddenly, as if noticing something amiss, Gilgamesh frowned.]
[Ereshkigal beside him also wore a grave expression. They had clearly realized the severity of the problem.]
["Yes, you guessed correctly," Ereshkigal admitted frankly, "Though I am reluctant, even in the Underworld, this move of mine can only buy us a moment's respite."]
[As she spoke, sweat had already beaded on her forehead.]
[The immense consumption of this move was evident. After all, it was restraining the true Primordial Goddess, one of the seven terrible Evils.]
["When this move's power dissipates, that space will continue eroding the Underworld. We must devise a countermeasure as soon as possible."]
[Ereshkigal's words undoubtedly posed a difficult problem for everyone: after this move ended, how would they deal with that terrifying monster?]
[At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly turned and asked Merlin, "Merlin, what exactly is Nega-Genesis? What effect does it have?"]
[Merlin couldn't help but sigh. "That being intends to completely overturn the Underworld."]
["Overturn?"]
[Though they all understood the word's meaning, applying it to a world was still shocking.]
At this moment, in the world of Fate/Strange Fake, Gilgamesh listened to Merlin's words and showed a shocked expression.
"Overturn? In front of Ereshkigal, overturning the Underworld—can such a thing be done?"
Yet, even so, he wasn't panicked at all.
Though he seemed at a disadvantage in every aspect, the Gilgamesh in the light screen—the one from the Uruk world—hadn't yet made his move!
If he fought with all his strength, plus so many allies, he didn't believe they would lose!
Meanwhile, within the light screen:
["Do you see the space spreading with the Beast as its center?" Merlin said slowly, "Once covered by that space, all Servants will fall instantly."]
["Such an outrageous power exists?" Ishtar was terrified; the scene before her far exceeded her understanding.]
[Gilgamesh fell into deep thought. As a king, he knew he had to take command of the battlefield at this moment.]
["Mash!" he shouted loudly.]
["Ah? Here!" Mash turned around, looking confused.]
["To counter that detestable barrier, we need your strength..."]
[Gilgamesh said firmly, "Use the Chalk City that carries all the king's thoughts. Perhaps it can contend with it when fully revealed."]
[Mash was also somewhat dazed upon hearing this proposal.]
[This decision was undoubtedly bold and insane; anyone could hear the risks.]
["This is absurd. You want Mash to drive [Lord Camelot] directly toward it?" someone asked incredulously.]
["This is sheer fantasy."]
At this moment, all viewers looked at Gilgamesh, who had taken command and begun displaying his kingly talent, and were deeply impressed.
Yet, upon hearing that Gilgamesh actually wanted Mash to confront it head-on, they all showed shocked and puzzled expressions.
[Bullet Comments]
[Lancelot: Are you serious? You're actually sending Mash?]
[Mordred: Though Mash's strength has improved after the previous six Singularities, having her fight a Beast head-on is clearly too much, right?]
[Artoria: In the Temple of Time, Mash couldn't completely resist Goetia's attack. How is it possible here?]
[Galahad: No! It's different from the scene in the Temple of Time. Even if I were there, it might not be better than Mash herself.]
Just as everyone was deeply skeptical of Gilgamesh's decision, within the light screen:
[Gilgamesh nodded firmly.]
[Merlin also looked solemn now. After careful consideration, he felt this method might indeed hold a glimmer of hope.]
[Mash's uniqueness made her the only suitable candidate for this task.]
["But..." Merlin still frowned.]
["Even if it can truly block that barrier, while Mash holds on, we must have someone who can deliver a fatal blow to the Beast."]
["And the only ones who can do this..."]
["Are the living."]
["Nega-Genesis is a space that denies past life and attempts to breed new life. In other words, only the living can step into it amidst the chaos."]
[Everyone fell into deep thought upon hearing this. "Does that mean...?"]
[Mash quickly turned her gaze to Fujimaru Ritsuka.]
["Leave it to me!"]
[Fujimaru Ritsuka made the decision without hesitation.]
[He knew his chances of success were slim, but it didn't matter. He had to try; even if there was only a sliver of hope, he must not give up!]
[Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's determined look, Gilgamesh smiled.]
["Take this," he casually tossed a short dagger, "In that space, I will be immobile. This [Dagger of Golden Invasion] might aid you."]
[Ereshkigal, barely supporting herself, said, "But, in that space, my power will be ineffective..."]
["Mash and I will simultaneously deploy our Noble Phantasms to open a path for you." Gilgamesh interrupted her.]
[At that moment, Mash's body trembled slightly. Though brave, she couldn't help but waver in the face of unknown fear. Yet, she did not retreat.]
["Senpai..." Her voice held a hint of unease.]
[Fujimaru Ritsuka gently patted her shoulder: "Mash, you just need to bravely move forward and do your best. Leave the rest to me!"]
[These words flowed into Mash's heart like a warm current, instantly dispelling her fear. So what if it was the Primordial Goddess? She was no longer afraid!]
[Just then, a few subtle cracking sounds were heard.]
["My barrier can't hold any longer! Hurry!"]
[Ereshkigal clenched her hands, clearly at her limit. The colorless space continued expanding.]
[Though the plan had just been finalized, everyone acted swiftly. Merlin and Mash stood behind Fujimaru Ritsuka.]
["In the inner sea of stars, upon the observation platform, I declare to you from the corner of paradise: your story is filled with blessings, and only the innocent may enter!"]
[Merlin's voice was solemn and sacred.]
["True name, revealed. I shall sit within the calamity. There is a place that can heal all pain and resentment, our shared homeland. Reveal thy form!"]
["The Land of Fairies, Where Dreams Never End!"]
["The Unreachable Ideal City!"]
[Mash and Merlin unfolded their Noble Phantasms simultaneously.]
On the light screen, beside the two, a line of small subtitles appeared, briefly introducing them.
[The Land of Fairies, Where Dreams Never End: Flowers bloom upon the earth. No matter how dark or hellish, warm sunlight can pierce the haze and spread across the land. Even imprisoned in a mere ten-square-meter space, even with vision limited to the torn sky above, it becomes an eternal ideal place. Where the Flower Mage Merlin resides is not hell but a sky full of hope.]
[Lord Camelot: The Unreachable Ideal City: With the chalk heart of Camelot and the Round Table where the Knights sit as a shield, it constructs a supreme defense. Its sturdiness matches the user's spiritual power. As long as the heart remains unyielding, the city walls shall never collapse.]
[At this moment, petals fluttered above the magnificent city. The resonance of the two Noble Phantasms paved a safe road of hope for Fujimaru Ritsuka.]
[And at that moment, Ereshkigal finally exhausted her strength and collapsed. "Ereshkigal!"]
[Ishtar seemed to have foreseen this and quickly caught her.]
["I know why it's so abnormal. Not only have you repeatedly violated the Underworld's taboos, but you've also granted power to the living. Overexerting like this will cause great trouble!"]
["If you just vanish like this, don't you find it a pity? I finally met such a lovely person..."]
[Ereshkigal was in great pain, barely able to move, yet she still managed a smile.]
["So what?"] (To read the most exciting chapters, go to Faloo Novels!)
[Her gaze was fixed on Fujimaru Ritsuka—the only hope to save the Underworld... She was willing to give everything.]
["It's wonderful... the Underworld... one day had such gorgeous flowers..."]
At this moment, in Chaldea.
At this critical juncture of the battle, Ereshkigal's demeanor also made Fujimaru Ritsuka blush.
"Senpai's charm is truly remarkable."
Mash's low voice sounded at the right moment.
"Eh?!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed, then used the battle's importance to shift everyone's attention back to the fight in the light screen.
[At the turning tide, Ereshkigal's sacrifice became an indelible mark.]
[Not only did she lure the Primordial Goddess into her domain, she repeatedly saved Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others in peril, and finally, she unhesitatingly expanded her Noble Phantasm on a massive scale, forcibly suppressing Beast II.]
[Yet, the price was too heavy. The Underworld Goddess ultimately failed to witness victory with her own eyes, dissipating into smoke and nothingness.]
[This was no time to wallow in sorrow.]
[Under suffocating pressure, Fujimaru Ritsuka was like dancing on a knife's edge, constantly running and dodging, trying to approach the seemingly invincible enemy.]
[But Beast II's power far exceeded that. Countless Lahmu surged like a tide, attempting to halt him. Every step forward was blocked. He was merely a living person, not a Heroic Spirit, and against these undead spirits, he seemed powerless.]
["Keep going! Leave these fellows to me!"]
[A deep, firm voice suddenly rang out, particularly abrupt in this world where only undead spirits should exist. Surprisingly, it was King Hassan.]
[Why was he here? No one knew. But his appearance undoubtedly brought a glimmer of hope to Fujimaru Ritsuka.]
[This was King Hassan's ability, the power of Battle Continuation EX.]
[Under Battle Continuation EX, King Hassan had blurred the boundary between life and death. Even severely injured with half his body destroyed, he could maintain the combat prowess of intact limbs and cling tightly to the enemy.]
[This was his inherent skill, and a portrayal of him at this moment. His body continuously dissipated, yet he stubbornly resisted the Lahmu's assaults.]
[Finally, after a full-power leap, the dagger in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand accurately pierced the Primordial Goddess's forehead.]
[This strike completely shattered Beast II's barrier.]
["Roar!!" Beast II roared in fury, and Fujimaru Ritsuka's body fell from the recoil.]
["Gilgamesh!!!"]
[The time was finally ripe. Fujimaru Ritsuka let out a deafening roar, and simultaneously, a terrifying, powerful force erupted around Gilgamesh.]
["Ah!"]
["Well done, Fujimaru Ritsuka!"]
[This was Gilgamesh in his prime. As the strongest Heroic Spirit with legendary power, merely opening the Gate of Babylon displayed astonishing might.]
["Let this strike be our farewell!"]
