A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Gilgamesh frowned slightly, and hundreds of Noble Phantasms shot out rapidly from the golden ripples that reached the sky behind him, streaking across the golden light and heading straight for Shirou's body!

As Shirou chanted the incantation, he projected a cherry blossom petal in front of his arm that covered his entire body.

That is the "Seven-fold Ring of Blazing Heaven"!

It is Shirou's only "barrier treasure" that he is good at using for defense. It is shaped like a flower petal and has seven petals. The seventh petal has the highest defensive power.

Its scope can be expanded to include "conceptual armament" that possesses absolute defense against projectile weapons.

The scattered Noble Phantasms struck the unfolded "Sevenfold Ring of Heavenly Blaze," causing only a ripple before dissipating due to the loss of throwing power and being collected back into Gilgamesh's "Gate of Babylon."

"I have no regrets. This is the only path."

Both Saber and Gilgamesh, who was constantly releasing the Noble Phantasms within the Gate of Babylon, could feel the violent tremors of the surrounding scenery and space.

"My whole life was 'Unlimited Blade Works'!"

As the final incantation was finished, Shirou suddenly raised his right hand upwards.

An immense surge of magical power destroyed everything around it, tearing apart the sky and shattering the earth!

boom----!

With a deafening roar, in the blink of an eye, everyone's vision shifted instantly.

The world they lived in suddenly transformed into a boundless wasteland.

On this barren wasteland, countless swords were stuck in the ground.

The world seemed to be frozen in time at dusk, with the crimson clouds in the sky nearing sunset slowly drifting by.

This is a world of swords!

At this moment, Gilgamesh and Shirou were already in this domain of swords.

Irisviel and Saber, who were already not far apart, were inevitably drawn into this world as well.

"This is... a 'Realistic Marble'!?"

Irisviel looked around with some surprise.

The endless wasteland and sword stretching towards the horizon deeply shocked her.

"That Orihara... he actually possesses a 'Realm Marble'! Just who is he!?"

At this point, Irisviel simply couldn't believe that Shirou was still a child; it was all too unexpected.

Even if magicians are detached from worldly affairs, they wouldn't go as far as this kid, would they?

Originally, "Realistic Marble" was an ability that only elves and demons could wield. However, with the completion of magic that allows the creation of personal mental worlds over many years, some top magicians have made it possible to create "Realistic Marble".

Most of the twenty-seven Dead Apostle ancestors could use "Unique Knots".

"The world is vast," but in general, there are not many magicians who can perform this world-changing magic.

Unlike "Imaginary Manifestation", the form of "Property Marble" cannot be freely determined.

This magic is a subgenre of "Imaginary Manifestation," creating a barrier that erodes the real world by shaping the caster's mental world.

Because it is formed from the caster's unique inner self, the caster cannot control the formation of the barrier. However, the "property barrier" can also influence non-natural things, which is superior to "imaginary manifestation".

Of course, Shirou's "projection" has long transcended the basic "projection" and can be considered as the ability of "materialization" to some extent.

"A 'Realistic Marble,' huh... that makes me look at you a little differently. But so what? You don't actually think you can defeat me like that, do you?"

Gilgamesh put one hand on his hip, glanced around with disdain, and paid no attention to the swords stuck in the wasteland, thinking they were just decorations.

"Ha, what can such a broken mental landscape possibly accomplish?"

Gilgamesh looked disdainfully at the red-haired boy who was confronting him.

At the same time, several ripples emanated from behind Gilgamesh, from which various Noble Phantasms revealed their sharp edges.

In that instant, Shirou's gaze suddenly sharpened.

A sword stuck in the wasteland trembled with a "hum," then suddenly rose from the ground and shot towards the Noble Phantasm extending from the golden ripples with a speed that surprised Gilgamesh.

Clang clang clang—!!!

The sounds of weapons clashing rang out continuously; a single sword destroyed all the Noble Phantasms that had appeared behind Gilgamesh.

"How could this be—!?"

Even Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

The opponent shattered all of Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasms before they had even completely left the golden ripples, a lightning-fast speed that startled Gilgamesh.

"Don't be surprised, everything here is a replica copied from your 'Gate of Babylon'."

As Shirou spoke, he looked at Gilgamesh's crimson eyes, which were filled with shock and anger.

"However, there is no reason why a fake can necessarily be inferior to a genuine article. If you consider those to be genuine articles, then they are superior to everything and will defeat them all."

As he said this, Shirou hooked a sword with his toe, grasped its hilt, pointed the tip of the sword directly at Gilgamesh in front of him, and spoke calmly.

"We're about to engage, Hero King. Do we have enough weapons?"

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Inevitable Golden Sword

Upon hearing Shirou's slightly sarcastic words, Gilgamesh's crimson eyes blazed with anger, but a sneer involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"Hmph! Don't be so arrogant, you bastard!"

As Gilgamesh said this, ripples lit up behind him once again, golden light illuminating half the sky, and one Noble Phantasm after another shot out!

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

Faced with the barrage of Noble Phantasms raining down from the sky, Shirou simply spread his arms wide, and the swords on the surrounding wasteland seemed to be summoned, rising up from the ground and rushing towards the Noble Phantasms that Gilgamesh had projected.

Boom boom boom————!!!

A series of explosions rang out, turning the entire wasteland into a massive battlefield.

Irisviel and Saber, who were watching from a distance, were already stunned by the scene, their eyes fixed on the two figures in the center of the battlefield.

At this very moment, Gilgamesh, refusing to believe it, continued to take out Noble Phantasms from the Gate of Babylon and launch them out. Golden ripples appeared one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the number of Noble Phantasms had reached hundreds.

Faced with such a dense barrage of attacks, Shirou only needed to think slightly, and the swords on the surrounding wasteland would immediately fly up and rush into the sky to collide with those Noble Phantasms.

Shirou didn't even bother to look at the sky. He casually pulled two different longswords from the ground and strode toward Gilgamesh.

The two swords in his hands were a pure white sword with golden patterns on its blade that shone like sunlight, exuding an aura of supreme holiness.

That was the sword that King Arthur pulled from the rock when he became king. It was called the "Sword of Victory," and only those who were qualified to be "kings" could unleash its full power.

Image: "The Golden Sword of Inevitable Victory", Location: "Images/1673577886-100352746-109820294.jpg"

Shirou is not a "king," and he seems far from understanding the meaning of the so-called "king."

Moreover, the sword he's holding now isn't the "real thing," it's just a replica.

Not only has its quality dropped by one level, but it also cannot be released. However, the destructive power generated after its collapse should not be underestimated.

However, when Saber saw Shirou grasp the sword, her eyes...

Guang froze, his lips slightly parted in disbelief.

"Wait...that looks like mine..."

At this point, Shirou had neither the mind nor the time to answer Saber's questions.

Fortunately, Gilgamesh was also unable to unleash the Noble Phantasms within his "Gate of Babylon," otherwise things might have been more complicated.

However, upon closer reflection, even if Gilgamesh could do it, his own magical reserves wouldn't allow him to act so recklessly.

Besides, his Master Tokiomi Tohsaka is dead, isn't he...? No, there's no point in thinking about that now.

Besides the "Golden Sword of Certain Victory," Shirou's other sword is dark red all over, with a long, blood-red crack on its blade that faintly reflects light, giving it a bloodthirsty feel.

The sword's real name is "Dassertin," a cursed sword owned by King Hegni of Denmark in Norse mythology. This sword carries a powerful curse that brings destruction, and all who wield it will die. It is also said to be a magical sword that "once it is drawn, it will not take a life and will not return to its sheath."

In the story surrounding the goddess Freya, King Hegnis of Denmark waged the famous "Eternal War" against King Hedin of Saracen because of the curse of this sword.

When Shirou copied these two swords, it took a lot of his magical energy because the originals were of a very high grade, all reaching A+ level.

Fortunately, all of this had been prepared in advance; otherwise, the consumption of magic power alone would have put Shirou at a disadvantage in this battle.

This is the advantage of "Unlimited Blade Works": it allows you to copy and store some Noble Phantasms in advance, and then use them when needed.

At this moment, Shirou is wielding the "Golden Sword of Certain Victory" and "Dassertin," slashing at the stragglers among the Noble Phantasms aimed at him.

Although the quality of the Noble Phantasm in his hand is not very high, and cannot even be compared with the genuine one that Gilgamesh took out, Shirou's "projection" is special and is not just a simple "projection" of the Noble Phantasm.

As long as Shirou possesses the "projected" Noble Phantasm, he will be able to read the martial arts skills of the previous user of that Noble Phantasm.

Simply put, if the Sword in the Stone is "projected," then Shirou will also be able to read Saber's swordsmanship when she wielded the Sword in the Stone.

After all, the "Excalibur" that Saber currently wields is not the same as her original sword in the stone, the "Sword of Victory".

This ability to read the martial arts skills once possessed by a Noble Phantasm allows Shirou to put up a fight against any Heroic Spirit.

After all, Shirou now possesses the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, which is naturally different from the Emiya Shirou in the anime who only awakened "Unlimited Blade Works" in his youth. His strength far surpasses that of Emiya Shirou.

And that is precisely why Shirou is now able to fight Gilgamesh with such ease.

As Shirou destroyed the Noble Phantasms that approached him, Gilgamesh's expression turned somewhat serious upon witnessing this.

"Why...the sword tournament of bastards..."

"Don't you understand?"

At that moment, Shirou threw out "Dassertin" from his left hand.

The crimson longsword drew a streak of crimson across the sky before exploding with a deafening roar after colliding with the magical artifacts!

The magic suddenly surged forth, creating a powerful aftershock that sent the rapidly descending artifact flying.

At the same time, Shirou, gripping the longsword "The Golden Sword of Victory" that shone with pure white light, stepped towards Gilgamesh once more.

"With countless Noble Phantasms, you are at the pinnacle even among Heroic Spirits. However, although you are a king, you are not a warrior. You did not choose the path of using a single Noble Phantasm to its fullest potential."

Gilgamesh himself is naturally skilled in martial arts, but that is not enough for him to contend with Servants such as Saber and Lancer in close combat.

Most importantly, this is a world of swords that belongs exclusively to Shirou. As long as he stays within this mental landscape of "Unlimited Blade Works," Gilgamesh's every move will be under Shirou's control.
