In the void above.
The Primordial Father from another universe seemed to transform into the sun, burning so brilliantly it was impossible to look directly at him.
Destructive waves began spreading recklessly.
The attack that had previously vaporized the God of War Mars was about to erupt once more!
This strike would destroy both the cosmic warship and everyone from Chaldea aboard it!
Amid this dazzling, brilliant light, Miyamoto Musashi drew her sword and chanted: "My Heavenly Eye exists for this battle alone."
"The kaleidoscope of all creation, born into this world, nurtured by this world, endlessly multiplying and evolving."
"Sever all grand paths, prune all branches, break through the true void."
"Whittle away to the extreme, and what remains shall be whittled further. To become the ultimate one is the celestial pivot."
This was the supreme sword doctrine pursued by the peerless swordmaster Miyamoto Musashi.
Now, she integrated all her lifelong learnings into the weapon in her hand.
Like a moth darting into flames.
Though facing imminent extinction, she carried a resolve that would not waver even through countless deaths.
"Yet, my dream remains unfulfilled."
"Break through the wall of the celestial pivot, gaze upon the throne within. Sever the gate of nothingness—this is the Buddha's Sword that severs causality."
This was the ultimate strike forged by burning Miyamoto Musashi's spiritual foundation, consuming every trace of her existence.
Materializing the concept of [Void], the sword of [Zero].
A truly authentic Causality Severing Noble Phantasm.
A Buddha's Blade that conceptually severs all misfortune, karma, curses, and tragic fate with a single cut!
Miyamoto Musashi suddenly broke into a radiant smile: "Gudao, I know you've journeyed through human history, learning and integrating the abilities of countless heroic spirits."
"Now, let me teach you the final strike—the one that reaches the ultimate [Void] and [Zero]!"
As the finest swordmaster of cherry blossoms, she traversed world after world, also beginning to master myriad sword doctrines.
In the way of the sword, she prided herself on being second to none!
"Good! If we meet again alive in the future, I'll treat you to all the delicacies under heaven!" Nameless sighed softly.
His eyes reflected a colossal pupil, brilliant as the sun.
And,
the figure of that peerless swordmaster who outshone even the sun.
Miyamoto Musashi raised her head, glaring furiously at the celestial eye: "Chaos, I address you as a human!"
"Whether it's human prayers and worship, or fear and hostility, you care not."
"Silence is the greatest contempt! We humans have endured this contempt for millennia!"
"You may remain silent now, but I will silence you for eternity!"
This stellar-class battleship, descending from an ultimately destroyed universe to the cosmos housing Earth.
Had lurked behind the scenes from the very beginning, manipulating everything in absolute silence.
Even the powerful Lostbelt King Zeus was merely its puppet.
Silence was its ultimate contempt.
All human struggles and rebellions, all divine efforts and schemes.
It cared not for any of it.
But now, Miyamoto Musashi, braving the dazzling blaze, soared upward and struck at her foe:
"If you represent time and void, then shattering the void is my destiny!"
"Namu, Tenman Daijizai Tenjin—Batō Kannon, severing all evils with wrath."
"This strike is my path of void, my very life! Ishana, Great Heavenly Phenomenon—!"
[Rikudou Gorin Kurikara Tenshou!]
With a single slash, everything was engulfed in blinding flames.
Only the sword light of the peerless swordmaster Miyamoto Musashi succeeded in piercing the location of the Primordial Father.
At this moment.
The celestial pivot's blossom continuously broke through, solely to reach the ultimate throne.
The Primordial Father in the void vanished completely, without even a sound of astonishment!
In other words.
That is—
[God-Slaying Strike!]
A brilliant smile bloomed on Miyamoto Musashi's face. "Ehehe, did everyone see that? The female Musashi did it!"
"I successfully surpassed myself, surpassed the Miyamoto Musashi of Pan-Human History!"
"Hmph, as expected of me. If I want to do something, I can definitely achieve it."
She laughed with unparalleled joy and pride.
Proudly raising her head, she freely displayed her majesty.
Yet her body was inexorably heading toward collapse!
In Miyamoto Musashi's eyes, carrying her final hopes, she gazed toward where Nameless and the others were.
"What a pity, we won't be able to meet again. I really don't want to be forgotten by you all..."
Her Spirit Origin completely crumbled and dissipated. She had reached the ultimate state of [Mu].
This meant
her existence had vanished, and she would be forgotten by everyone.
In the future, people of Pan-Human History would only remember the male Musashi.
They wouldn't remember that there was also this female Musashi.
It's... just a little lonely...
The audience was deeply moved—
[Tears instantly welled up. The Fifth Lostbelt has claimed another lovely Servant!]
[The Flower of Tengen, reaching the void realm through her sword, slashing down the supreme being!]
[Miyamoto Musashi, you are the greatest swordsman. We will never forget you!]
[Who cares if you're not a Grand? Using your sword to oppose an undefeatable foe. Flower of Tengen, may you rest in peace!]
[To Musashi-chan, we offer our highest respect! Farewell, magnificent Flower of Tengen blooming in the void!]
...
In the living room.
Roya put down the popcorn in her hand, her eyes misty. "Another Servant willingly reached Mu!"
When the Primordial Father Chaos first appeared, no one could imagine anyone being able to defeat him.
This being was incomparably powerful.
So powerful that it plunged everyone into complete despair.
Before the Primordial Father, humanity—
no, the entire Earth seemed exceptionally fragile.
If not for its desire to transform Earth into a new home for the Olympian gods, it would have already destroyed the planet!
Facing an undefeatable enemy, Miyamoto Musashi stepped forward and delivered an unreachable sword strike of emptiness.
This deeply shocked Roya.
The Lostbelt where Miyamoto Musashi belonged had long been pruned.
Making her a person without a home.
Yet she was willing to sacrifice everything, only wanting to assist Nameless in protecting his "home."
This selfless spirit deserved everyone's admiration.
Just like the doctor in the "Temple of Time" who stepped forward to confront Goetia in desperate times.
Similarly burning their Spirit Origin, completely returning to nothingness.
This Flower of Tengen continuously broke through, ultimately reaching an unfathomable realm comparable to, even surpassing, that of a Grand!
"Truly a respectable opponent." Gilgamesh nodded with full admiration.
Her final ultimate sword strike, unleashed by burning her Spirit Origin, had reached the absolute peak of swordsmanship.
Not a Grand Saber, yet surpassing a Grand.
It carried the same essence as the final Grand strike he witnessed King Hassan deliver in the Singularity.
This was the manifestation of swordsmanship reaching its ultimate form.
Making Gilgamesh have to admit that he truly couldn't compare in this aspect.
It reminded him of that boy, Emiya, in the "Unlimited Blade Works" world.
And his words to him.
Calling him a "greedy miser, not a true user of Noble Phantasms," unable to unleash their true potential.
But Gilgamesh didn't care.
While quality might be inferior, quantity absolutely crushed everything.
Isn't it more elegant to bombard them gracefully with [Gate of Babylon]?
If the Noble Phantasm machine gun isn't enough, he could always draw out Ea, the Sword of Rupture that tears the world apart, to eliminate all enemies.
This is the very essence of the King of Heroes, the most ancient of them all!
Roya asked curiously, "So, this is what defeated the Primordial Father?"
"Of course it didn't defeat him; it was merely 'closing the door'," Qin Shi Huang replied.
Even if every Servant present were to burn their Spirit Origins together, they still couldn't defeat Chaos!
What Miyamoto Musashi did was sever the connection between Chaos and the Lostbelt.
She completely shut that void gate.
With one sword strike, she closed the heavenly gate!
But it was enough.
As long as the gate was closed, Chaos, despite possessing the immense power to shatter the Earth, simply couldn't descend.
For humanity, this was the greatest victory!
Roya suddenly remembered a question: "Speaking of which, in the Final Singularity back then, it was Nameless who disappeared in the doctor's place. Could something like that happen again this time?"
The doctor sacrificed his own existence, completely fading into nothingness.
But at the last moment, Nameless pleaded with [God] to intervene, bringing him back to life.
As a cost, he himself vanished.
This time, could it happen again?
The question is, there are still two more Lostbelts ahead. If someone disappears, who will fight them?
"Just keep watching calmly, and you'll find out," Souma replied calmly.
Servants, their Spirit Origins exist in the Throne of Heroes.
As long as human history continues, even if they sacrifice themselves, they can be summoned again.
But sacrificing one's Spirit Origin to reach the ultimate state of nothingness would mean their complete disappearance from the Throne of Heroes!
Since Souma was able to save Romani Archaman, how could he allow Miyamoto Musashi to vanish completely?
Don't forget, he wants to create a perfect world where no one gets hurt.
The only one who pays the price and gets hurt is himself!
...
The video continues.
Amidst the blossoming, dazzling radiance.
Miyamoto Musashi's entire body was on the verge of disintegration.
Everything was enveloped in light, and no one could be seen in her vision.
Nor could anyone see her.
"What a pity... I won't be able to see you all again. I truly don't want to be forgotten by you..."
After a faint smile, Miyamoto Musashi faced her own demise with a final touch of sorrow and tranquility.
Once the Lostbelt was pierced, everyone would forget about the female Musashi.
Having lost her place of belonging, she ultimately faded into nothingness.
This was, perhaps, her destined fate.
Just then.
Miyamoto Musashi suddenly caught sight of a brilliantly shimmering, rainbow-colored Holy Grail: "Huh? What's happening?"
This Holy Grail seemed to emerge from the void, carrying an incomprehensible, elusive aura of mystery.
Mystery, when faced with a higher form of mystery, becomes ineffective.
She suddenly realized that she, a top-tier Servant, was completely suppressed by this presence!
Miyamoto Musashi instantly understood.
This aura unmistakably originated from the Root.
Meaning.
The rainbow Holy Grail also emerged from the Root!
A familiar figure appeared before her—it was Nameless!
With a smile, he said, "Musashi-chan, I preserved the last trace of your spiritual foundation for you."
"How did you return from the Root?"
Miyamoto Musashi stared at him in utter astonishment.
Not even the sight of the Primordial Father Chaos had shocked her this much.
This Master from Proper Human History had actually reached the Root!
That was the ultimate state of [Nothingness].
She had only managed to catch a glimpse of it by burning her spiritual foundation.
Nameless, however, shook his head with a smile. "No, I haven't returned. The me you see now is merely a projection."
"A projection..."
In that instant, Miyamoto Musashi understood everything.
During her earlier conversations with Mash and the others, that little shield-bearing girl had repeatedly emphasized the strength of her senior.
But in their daily interactions, she had always sensed a certain dissonance.
A feeling of incompleteness.
Now, the truth was revealed.
This young man had never truly returned from the Root.
He had merely used the [Star Holy Grail] to materialize a projection of himself, continuing the arduous journey to conquer the Lostbelt!
This was his way of borrowing one more year from the Root!
One year later.
Whether or not the Lostbelt was conquered, he would vanish from everyone's memories.
Realizing this, the peerless swordswoman bit her lip and sighed, "Proper Human History is truly fortunate to have you!"
"Then, for now, farewell, splendid Flower of Tengen." Nameless waved goodbye to her.
The [Star Holy Grail] bloomed with colorful light, enveloping Miyamoto Musashi as she completely faded away.
Awaiting the ultimate world reboot, she would eventually return to the Throne of Heroes.
Miyamoto Musashi reached out, trying to touch him. "Hey, you promised to treat me to all the delicacies in the world! You absolutely must not break your promise!"
"Don't worry, I'll treat you." Nameless smiled.
Provided that.
They could meet again in the future.
And if they did, she would still recognize him.
But that was clearly an impossibility!
Amidst the brilliant, colorful radiance of the [Star Holy Grail], the blossoming Flower of Tengen vanished completely.
The onlookers sighed with mixed emotions—
[Sigh, once again, Nameless silently bears everything alone!]
[What a man of profound sins and yet immense merit—just how many good deeds have you secretly accomplished behind the scenes?]
[As expected of you, Nameless! Saving heroic spirits and the world is as ordinary as eating and drinking to you!]
[Well, now Nameless has another debt to account for. Once the video finishes playing, Miyamoto Musashi will probably come looking for him too, right?]
[When you're covered in lice, you stop itching; when you're drowning in debt, you stop worrying. Nameless is already buried in romantic debts—what's one more invitation to dinner?]
[I suspect that the final apocalyptic war will definitely turn into Nameless's personal battlefield of love!]
...
After learning that the adorable female Musashi wouldn't completely disappear, the onlookers felt much more at ease.
But those present from Chaldea had no idea about this.
Da Vinci said with a grave expression, "Miyamoto Musashi's spiritual foundation has completely vanished along with the aura of Chaos!"
"Musashi-chan..."
Mash's tears instantly streamed down her face.
In each of the Lostbelts, Miyamoto Musashi had voluntarily descended to assist them in battle.
They had already formed deep bonds.
But now, she had completely disappeared, never to be seen again!
Amid this melancholic atmosphere.
Caenis snorted coldly, "Hmph, alright, I'm leaving."
"Eh, you're leaving too?" Mash wiped her tears and asked in shock.
"Tch, my agreement with you all was to defeat Zeus. Now that it's done, of course I'm going back."
Caenis put on a haughty front and said, "That Master of mine has been completely carried to victory."
Her Master naturally referred to the A-team captain.
He had only made a move once, yet had been spectating from the sidelines all along.
Watching Zeus march toward destruction, watching Chaldea's forces suffer heavy losses.
Caenis said with full disdain, "I advise you all not to go looking for him—there's no way you can win!"
With Chaldea's current combat strength severely depleted, they stood no chance against that terrifying mage.
It would be better to just leave now and barely manage to survive.
"Sorry, but I must cut down the Fantasy Tree," Nameless calmly replied.
This was his mission.
No matter how powerful the enemy, he would not retreat.
"Fine then, you'd better wish yourself luck. When we meet again, we'll be enemies."
Caenis turned and left without hesitation.
If she stayed any longer, she might have lost her composure slightly.
During this time together, she had unknowingly developed some fondness for him.
Truly, a man who brings nothing but trouble.
After the goddess Caenis departed.
Divine Ancestor Romulus also left.
He had previously sacrificed his Grand spiritual foundation to pierce through Almighty God Zeus's invincible defense, bestowing upon him the concept of death.
Then, together with the War God Mars, he withstood the attacks of the Primordial Father Chaos.
Additionally, he assisted Miyamoto Musashi in breaking through the void to reach the heavens.
These numerous earth-shattering feats had already exhausted all his power, making it impossible for him to continue existing.
One by one, powerful comrades sacrificed themselves or departed.
Under these circumstances.
Nameless led the remaining Chaldea members to the very core of the interstellar city.
This was where the Fantasy Tree stood.
Also the site of Zeus's great temple.
And one final, ultimate obstacle stood before Nameless and the others.
It was Captain Kirschtaria Wodime!
This powerful mage who controlled celestial body magic wore a smile as if entertaining friends and said:
"My adorable kouhai, Fujimaru Ritsuka, let me see what resolve you have to protect Pan-Human History!"
