Crash!!!!!!!!
"What kind of ignorant and crazy method is this, Saber!"
"It's fine! This is the method! Do you think the temple can't be repaired!?"
Ozymandias had already constructed the temple and was waiting for us. He gave us a grace period, but the conclusion was already drawn. As Hundred Faces ran quickly and scattered the pre-made Caliburns, I immediately activated Broken Phantasm, causing a massive explosion that half-destroyed the temple.
Caliburn, an illusion that even kills gods, numbered up to a hundred. The explosion was enough to destroy the entire temple.
The temple had a self-repair function, but with 90% destroyed, his immortality blessing must have disappeared. Even if it remained, erasing his body completely would be enough.
"Seal or neutralize the Noble Phantasms well! This is the first step to saving the world!"
"Understood for now!"
Paracelsus deployed Elementals and saw the sphinxes rushing towards us. Each one had the power to tear apart Servants easily, divine beasts. If ancient Egypt had a divine beast army led by Ozymandias, currently visible ones numbered up to a hundred. Is he serious...?
Perhaps because of that, that thing appears. A monster boasting divine-level destructive power.
Divine Beast King・Wepwawet.
The king of Egyptian divine beasts, the king of sphinxes. A massive monster with a design reminiscent of the universe. A divine beast among divine beasts that makes Fafnir look trivial.
As golden magical beasts charge, Medusa shows her true form.
"If it's the king of divine beasts, on this side is the king of magical beasts."
The goddess Medusa, who summons the golden magical beast king Chrysaor, resembling Athena. After death, she became Athena's shield and could employ Athena's combat style.
"I'll leave that side to the two of you!"
Leaving the divine beast army to Medusa and Paracelsus, I rush towards Ozymandias. The temple walls, slowly repairing, move to block me, but...
Creak... Bang!!!!
I clench my fist tightly, putting full power into each blow, destroying the walls. The temple, which withstands the power of an anti-army Noble Phantasm. If Arash can destroy walls with his full-powered arrows, how can I not break them?
Bang!!!
Soon, breaking the last wall, I reach the throne. Since the temple is almost destroyed, where the throne should be, a massive solar boat floats.
"So you've decided on an answer, Saber."
"{Meseket} (Solar Boat of the Underworld). If Greece has Charon's boat to the underworld, Egypt's pharaoh has a solar boat, they say. Indeed, a ship no less than Vimana, Pharaoh. With that ship alone, you could erase Tokyo. If you had gone all out from the start, all Servants except me and Medusa would have been annihilated."
"Saber, you are a hero. I have come to this era and seen a boy with the qualities of a saint and a girl with the qualities of a king. What have you seen? What have you seen to protect it so dearly?"
"The future. As you think, Manaka's power could destroy humanity. But, thinking conversely, what if that power is used to save humanity? I can do that. I'll guide her on that path. I've already done it, you know? I have a track record of saving and changing a girl who was called a villainess and hated by the world. I have confidence."
"Arrogant."
"The Golden King I know says this: How can one be called a king without arrogance! And, this isn't arrogance. It's confidence. Confusing recklessness and courage. Is the Pharaoh's sense only that much?"
"... Hmph, is that your answer. Then, I shall punish that with all my might. You seem to have forgotten your duty. When beings like us, all-powerful, exist, that is when we can uproot its foundations, Saber!"
"If that is fate! I will deny and change that fate, Ozymandias. You, who desires flesh to rule the present world, you who couldn't prevent your wife's death or stop your friend in the past, what can you stop!"
"You...!"
From the sky, rays are fired that boast the power of a Noble Phantasm, incinerating and eliminating Servants in one hit. I don't dodge but receive them. My body is hot, I can feel my flesh burning... Indeed, the strongest Pharaoh of Egypt.
"Can you handle it...? The power of one who has lived as a saint sacrificing himself, twisting unchangeable fate, and becoming strong tenaciously... Can you handle it?"
"..."
"Try to handle it..."
Whoosh!!!
Blowing away the rays shot at me with mana burst, I draw runes in the air.
"{Caladbolg} (Spiral Sword of Destruction)!"
It is Caladbolg that has taken the form of a dagger. And... in the past, when fighting Scáthach in the Heaven's Feel worldline, I used that. It multiplies into hundreds of daggers. Mana is received from Manaka!
"Gate of Ulster!"
"Kuh...! {Meriamen} (Love of Amen)!!!"
Kwaaaaaaa!!!!!
Then, numerous gunports open, and solar rays are fired. Caladbolg neutralizes the rays, and I quickly leap up.
The numerous solar rays fired at me as I leap. The daggers that automatically track and change trajectory fly around, neutralizing the rays, and I reach the solar boat. Sphinxes emerge from below the solar boat.
Crack!!!
With a single punch, I crush the sphinx's skull, and with a kick, I shatter the chest of the next charging sphinx.
"Beasts are no match for me!"
I quickly jump and charge, and Ozymandias fires rays, showing a wall-like spectacle of rays. But...
Grind...!
"!?"
At that moment, the ship tilts, and the light of the rays disappears.
"This is...!"
"Your Master is dead."
Isemi Shizuri, the linchpin and source of mana, was found and killed by Hundred Faces. He seemed to have hidden well, but you underestimated Hassan, Ozymandias.
"There's the immortal power of the temple... but that's nothing."
A golden ripple opens in the air, and I take out the immortality-slaying sickle from the treasury. Zeus's diamond sickle, Harpē, given to Perseus to kill Medusa.
Slash!!!!
The immortality-slaying sickle Harpē cuts through Ozymandias's body.
"..."
"The spiritual core is cut. It's over now."
"... Are you confident. In managing that thing."
"Managing? Don't say such things about my wife, okay?"
"Wife, is it... Huh, I apologize. I have been rude to you... Fighting to protect your wife... Good. Try to unfold your will. I wonder if you will succeed or fail... Whether you are the one to save the present world in my place..."
Ozymandias fades away with a faint smile. Did he acknowledge it only at the very end?
[Fergus, we have found the Berserker.]
"Ah... good work. Kill him as is. Spare Kitano Tatsumi, that child. We'll find Archer ourselves, so please take care of it."
[Yes, leave it to me.]
Hundred Faces is truly competent. With this, it might all end today?
"So, is it all over?"
"Ah, Manaka."
"How could you leave me alone while I was sleeping? That's too much."
"I thought of you and came alone with us..."
"Still, let's go together. I prefer being with Fergus more...!"
"I understand, Manaka... Then, let's go together."
"Yes!"
Holding Manaka's hand, I move my steps to the next destination. There is no child in the world who cannot be reformed. Since Medb was like that... Manaka can do it too. Guiding a child to the right path is the role of an adult (hero), right?
