The Shining Hathaway.

"I'm so envious. To have someone like Shirou Emiya in today's human society. In a world where everyone weighs their own gains and losses before making choices, there are still people like him who can dedicate themselves so selflessly. He's not a regular soldier, nor is he a member of law enforcement."

"If the Earth Federation had a truly upright and righteous official at its highest levels, none of those things would have happened on Earth." Hathaway looked at his hands.

They wanted to change the current state of the Earth Federation, to expel humanity from Earth, to restore life to the planet, and to stop the corrupt federation from oppressing its people.

This ideal is both grand and arduous.

After Hathaway's death, although Kenas inherited Hathaway's ideals, after Kenas's death, was there anyone else to carry on this great ideal?

56 Gilgamesh ambushes Archer

Bless this beautiful world

“I will do everything in my power to deny you! That’s right, that’s exactly what I’m saying!” Megumin placed her right hand on her eyepatch and waved her wand in her left. “No matter what Kazuma says, I will not learn any other magic.”

Like Shirou Emiya, I am someone who is determined to carry out my dreams to the very end!

Once I've made up my mind, I will never change it. To become the world's greatest magician, I will not give up no matter what others say.

Ah... the light shining from Shirou Emiya instantly healed his body. Was that some kind of healing magic?

"Hmm...! I feel a sacred, soothing aura within Shirou Emiya. This... could this be a divine artifact? A lost divine artifact left behind in the mortal realm?!"

Aqua looked at Shirou Emiya's body with suspicion, wondering what Archer meant by the connection between the relic and Saber.

"However, this guy's situation will become very dangerous in the future! He has such a powerful artifact, but he doesn't have the power to protect it."

“Once this is over, let’s just return the relic to Artoria Pendragon. I’m sure those magicians won’t dare to cause trouble for Artoria then,” Darkness said.

Kazuma Sato looked enviously at the activated cheat code within Shirou Emiya's body. This was absolutely a divine artifact among divine artifacts. With this divine artifact, he wouldn't need Aqua's support anymore.

"Hey—! I really wish that I from other worlds could become a heroic spirit and appear before me to pass on my power."

She was reincarnated into a world where only otome games have doom flags.

"Yes... I will be just as determined as Shirou Emiya in doing what I want to do. Because I believe that only I can bring happiness to Miss Katarina!"

"Merry Hunter said, full of energy."

She believed she would soon achieve her dream.

On the desk in front of her were dozens of plans of all kinds, enough to make it impossible for Prince Giordo to find her and Miss Katarina.

“The grown-up Shirou Emiya helps his younger self understand many things,” Sofia Ascarut said.

Katarina Clares said, "This is the kind of tsundere knight in a romance novel, who says he hates it but his actions betray him, and he gives everything he has learned to the protagonist."

Emiya Shirou issues another challenge.

The Gan Jiang and Mo Xie he projected in his hand would no longer shatter upon impact; the projection's strength was now approaching that of Archer.

Archer retorted scornfully, "Boring, boring! I can't stand it anymore. Utterly foolish, Shirou Emiya. To become an ally of justice? Just because you're right?"

If you've grasped this so thoroughly, why can't you see the error within? True justice is about establishing order; saving the whole is different from saving an individual—these two cannot coexist.

The more one pursues the "right" redemption, the deeper one sinks into the quagmire of self-contradiction. Ultimately, one becomes nothing more than a simple murderer!

'If you don't even understand this, then die. Shatter and scatter along with your mindset, and die a futile death.' Archer said, 'Yes, if that's the case. Even mistakes like the ones I made will vanish.'

Let me erase with my own hands the traces of your life!

The deathmatch begins.

The two charged forward again, their Gan Jiang and Mo Xie swords clashing against each other. In the process of fighting, Emiya Shirou finally developed a set of moves of his own.

His skills are improving rapidly, and he may soon have a chance to catch up with one-tenth of Archer's power.

Archer relentlessly trains Shirou Emiya, further stimulating him to forge Shirou into a sword within this world of forging.

Quenching, forging, polishing, and repeating the process until Shirou Emiya before him could shed his immature and naive thoughts.

To obtain the power to defeat evil.

If you want to be a partner of justice, you must have the power to defeat evil.

Emiya Shirou ran forward, facing the rain of swords projected by Archer, roaring as he ran in protest against Archer.

Ah... your idea is correct.

That's for sure. My thoughts, however, are superficial. But I can feel its beauty; caring more about others than myself—I already know this is hypocrisy.

"But even so, how wonderful it would be to live like that. I've longed for it so much. Even if my life is a facade, the wish for everyone to live a happy life should be beautiful."

"I will not give up, even if it's foolish, I will absolutely not give up. This dream, I will never give up! Even if I am a fake until the very end!"

"Absolutely not! Because it can't be wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space behind Shirou Emiya shifted, and Archer's Reality Marble, weakened by insufficient magical power, showed a flaw, being eroded by the mental images and memories deep within Shirou Emiya's heart.

A bright moon, and the silhouette of a man sitting on the floor.

The most precious thing he lost was his Noble Phantasm, which belonged only to Shirou Emiya.

He saw it.

He also saw his own indomitable spirit, raising his sword. With superior skill and speed, he knew that Emiya Shirou, charging towards him, would not be able to withstand this strike.

But the raised arm remained raised for a long time without coming down.

At this moment, Archer's mind was filled with the vow he made to Kiritsugu in his childhood, a vow he also made to himself.

The emotion of being saved by Kiritsugu Emiya filled my heart.

Archer regained his lost Noble Phantasm and, watching Shirou Emiya charge at him with his sword raised, dispelled his Reality Marble.

"That's outrageous, showing me my past self. There really was a man like that."

Artoria watched in astonishment as Shirou Emiya pierced Archer's chest with his sword, Archer offering no resistance or attempt to dodge.

why?

“I won, Archer,” Shirou Emiya said.

"Yes. That's right, my defeat." Archer lost to his own stubbornness, underestimating his own obstinacy. The Iron Will EX was no joke.

Of course, he had no regrets, after all, he was close to achieving his goal.

Being stabbed in the chest won't affect the plans ahead.

Emiya Shirou collapsed weakly to the ground, panting heavily, too exhausted to get up.

His injuries had all healed, but unfortunately, Avalon couldn't restore his stamina, only heal his wounds. Otherwise, Artoria, now a perpetual motion machine, would have already led the Knights of the Round Table to wipe out the surrounding area.

Rin Tohsaka ran anxiously down the second-floor corridor, not wanting to waste time going down the stairs. She jumped up and vaulted over the second-floor railing, landing hard on her bottom.

BOOM——!

Archer, Shirou Emiya turned around and looked towards Rin Tohsaka. Seeing that the goddess who had messed up had finally arrived, the two of them felt relieved.

"Ouch...it hurts so much." Rin Tohsaka rubbed her nearly broken butt and limped towards Shirou Emiya and Archer. "Shirou, Archer—!—!!"

"Shirou, are you alright?" Rin Tohsaka asked worriedly, seeing Shirou covered in blood. At the same time, she noticed the knife wound on Archer's chest. "Archer, what happened to your wound?"

"Honestly, she still looks so innocent. If she were any worse, I wouldn't have been able to go back to who I was before. Anyway, the battle is over. Now that I've accepted you, Hero Emiya can no longer stay here."

"The loser should just leave the stage sooner." Archer stared at Shirou Emiya sitting on the ground. This idiot should have already mastered Unlimited Blade Works by now.

Suddenly, Archer's eyes narrowed, and a row of sword shadows appeared in his vision. Damn it, that shameless man really did appear.

Three longswords flew toward Archer. The weakened Shirou Emiya stood in front of Archer. He could not dodge and could only use his body to withstand this sneak attack.

Before he disappeared, he clearly told Shirou Emiya, "This guy is yours to defeat."

"This is truly an eye-opener. A battle between counterfeits is utterly boring." Gilgamesh stood smugly on the second floor, looking down at the miscellaneous cultivators below.

He sensed the threat and knew he was no match for Archer, so he didn't hesitate to launch a sneak attack.

A barrage of Noble Phantasms rained down, but Artoria Pendragon had already realized that the Gate of Babylon projectiles were useless against her in her current state, as boring as a child throwing a beanbag.

The sword energy swung at high speed, with ample magical power supplied to the Excalibur, violently radiated magical energy, easily shattering all the projectile Noble Phantasms.

She has superior magical power, superior strength, superior intelligence, and even a near-precognitive intuition. How could the mere Gate of Babylon possibly harm her?

After successfully launching his attack, Black Mud Gilgamesh decisively chose to retreat.

He relied on dozens of children that Kirei Kotomine had captured from the ruins of Fuyuki City to supply his magic as biological batteries.

He's off to prepare something even more fun.

Fate/stay night, Unlimited Blade Works, timeline.

The Emiya family.

"Ugh... Gilgamesh actually launched a sneak attack? That's so uncool! Is this guy really the first Heroic Spirit ever created?"

Charlemagne looked at Gilgamesh in the picture with suspicion. How could Gilgamesh, who was so arrogant and flamboyant, resort to such a despicable act as a sneak attack?

A sneak attack is an insult to Gilgamesh's status.

As a king, one must defeat the warriors who challenge him head-on with absolute strength and magnanimity.

"Hehe—! Were you scared by the way Emiya's projected weapon looked? A regular mage who became a Heroic Spirit using the same technique as you, it's like the unpleasant feeling of wearing the same outfit as someone else?" Tamamo Cat said:

"But that's how battles are. There's nothing wrong with using any means to win. Emiya-mama was too careless, making such a big scene. Gilgamesh will definitely find out and come to cause trouble."

She guessed that Gilgamesh's magical power was insufficient, otherwise he would have definitely used his Noble Phantasm to eliminate Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka in one fell swoop.

“How could such a weapon projectile possibly harm the king… The arrow rain the king has encountered on the battlefield is far more troublesome than this. Although Gilgamesh defeated gods in mythology, his combat experience is nowhere near that of the king.”

When Percival and the Knight King fought against the enemy on the battlefield, the arrows shot by the archers of the Age of Gods were overwhelming and continuous.

King Arthur could block a barrage of arrows, let alone a mere dozen or so projectiles coming straight at him.

"Archer, Archer, isn't your wish to kill Shirou? You're just lying to us, aren't you? You just want to bully Shirou and teach him how to fight, and incidentally change Shirou's twisted personality, right?"

Rin Tohsaka chuckled and bent down, looking at Archer standing on the roof. "Oh dear, your personality has become twisted since becoming a Guardian. But the twisted direction is that you've become more dishonest. What a troublesome man."

"But I don't hate this kind of trouble. Leave your and Shirou's twisted relationship to me." She was determined to save Archer before Archer disappeared.

In the future, if a singularity or subspecies singularity crisis occurs again, Archer will definitely leave his side to resolve it.

We must hurry and save Archer as quickly as possible.

Although she doesn't know exactly what to do yet, at least she has a clear goal now!

"...I'm not lying. The me in the image isn't the me standing here right now. It must be another parallel world," Archer replied expressionlessly, his eyes closed.

How could he possibly admit it? He would never let anyone else see through his true feelings.

He also has an extremely thick mental barrier; it's such a waste that he doesn't pilot an EVA! A righteous partner piloting an EVA—the synchronization rate must be 1000%!

Type-Moon FHA timeline.

"Hahahaha! How does it feel to be the king of counterfeits killed by genuine products? This is the difference between genuine and fake."

However, Gilgamesh was very unhappy with the shameful things that the fake Gilgamesh was doing while wearing his skin.

Sneak attack?

How could he possibly do something like that?

The strongest king in heaven and on earth, the only true king, would never stoop to doing such a thing.

To ambush a counterfeit that one doesn't even want is an insult to Gilgamesh's life.

If he felt he needed to punish Archer, he would simply walk up to him and defeat him head-on with overwhelming power.

Having taken a detached view of life, death, and the future, Gilgamesh disdained to engage in any great human selection process; he wasn't some brain-dead madman.

To have the Holy Grail spew out black mud to filter out the humans that Gilgamesh deems worthy of living?

Isn't this the kind of wild idea only a three-year-old would have?

The modern world where Gilgamesh the Black Mud lives is peaceful, and the vast majority of people are kind. King Uruk, who loves humans, would never do anything to make the Holy Grail spew out black mud.

Instead, he holds the Holy Grail, waiting for the misfits to challenge him, defeating them one by one, and making them understand the gap between himself and the One True King.

He would not hesitate to eliminate ugly souls.
