Clang!!!!!
"This can't be... Such an ending!!!"
Beast Draco, helplessly being attacked by our combined assault. They emit even more corrupt impurities from the golden cup and deploy their Noble Phantasm.
"{Spiral Negative World Lillim Harot} (Cheerless Rose)!!! Our seven crowns shall deny the curtain call!!!"
The golden cup shines with a sinister red light, and a new giant dragon reveals itself centered around the cup.
That is the beast of the apocalypse. The first beast said to come from the sea.
The seven seals and seven crowns engraved on the dragon's heads glow with red light.
"{Moles Necessarie} (All Things Yield to My Love)!"
As Quirinus plunges his golden-glowing fist into the ground, a wall of light surges up. It is a barrier. The blood-stained wall of love, materializing the tale of him personally slaying his brother Remus. A barrier that divides space. A holy wall of love protecting us from Beast Draco's curse.
Nero charges forward, breaking through that wall.
"I am in a good mood now. Too bad!!!"
KABOOM!!!!!
Her seven-colored sword slashes. From the first purple slash to indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and finally the red blood-colored strike, they behead the beast's seven heads.
"Graaaah!!!"
Following that, Beast Draco extends a hand to attack Nero, but Artoria's strike severs their wrist.
"Ready?"
"Ah, of course."
"{Nine Lives Rome} (Shooting Hundred-Headed Roman Style)"
"{Nine Lives Ulster} (Shooting Hundred-Headed Ulster Style)"
A barrage of fist flashes resembling spears of light and a flurry of glowing swords slice through the beast. The consecutive strikes that shatter even the lifeless beast soon cause a pillar of light to soar high into the sky, erasing the beast without a trace.
Quirinus then flies high into the sky. As he extends both hands upward, a giant golden magic circle appears in the sky.
"Will you allow it!!!"
""We will not allow it.""
KWAHAAAAANG!!!
Spiral and rose sword slashes cut down the impurities flying toward Quirinus.
"{Per Aspera Ad Astra} (Our Arms Pioneering All, to the Stars)!!!"
Giant golden bullets then pour down on Beast Draco, and the magic circle descends.
KWAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
"Graaaaaah!!!"
And, as a world of light shaped like Rome unfolds, it erases their impurities. This was a Noble Phantasm symbolizing human civilization that cannot be approached, humanity that never falls and rises again.
"{Babelon Domus Aurea} (Golden Theater That Melts and Embraces)!!!"
Then, Nero's golden theater deploys. A sinister golden theater appearing at the brilliant center of Rome. A theater of despair that traps Beast Draco, preventing escape.
"Swallowing both love and evil, to the sky...!"
"This sword cuts through this space and delivers a blow to save the beast...!"
Nero and I grip our swords tightly and leap up simultaneously.
"My passion burns like raging flames!"
"A sword that cuts the world!"
A demon sword glowing with crimson flames and a brilliant demon sword shining with rainbow light are swung simultaneously.
"{Laus Tira no Claudius} (The Flower-Loving Girl's Imperial Edict)!"
"{Ulster Caladbolg Caladbolg} (The Promised Victory Sword That Cuts Erin)!"
Flash─────KABOOOOOOOOOM!!!
It was a mortal sword strike that cuts the continent and the beast. A sword of judgment that cuts Beast Draco.
And, the seal on the sword that subdues the beast was released.
"This is a fight to save the world."
[Approval]
Kreeeing...!!!!
As the majority of the Thirteen Restraints are released, the holy sword opens its true form as a star sword that initially scorched the star-invading Zepar (White Giant).
"{Excalibur} (Sword of Promised Victory)!!!!!"
A torrent of life from the holy sword swinging down from the sky. It was the light of a star.
"This can't be..."
Beast Draco is swallowed by the light of judgment.
The holy starlight soars high into the sky, reaching the starry sky (universe).
As the light fades, the fallen form of Beast Draco is seen on the ground.
"I can't die... I don't want to die... We have done no wrong... How dare you accept... I will burn the world... Fergus... Come with us..."
"... Did you want to go together because you hate being alone? With the man we loved... Luxuria (lust), Ira (wrath), Invidia (envy), Gula (gluttony), Acedia (sloth), Superbia (pride), Avaritia (greed). Return to my side. Live with me. If I become a beast that devours humanity again... Then let's burn Rome (the world) together."
"".....""
Beast Draco then separates into Beast Hacks and becomes black impurities, gathering in the golden cup and being absorbed by Nero.
"It's all over."
"Umu... It's all over... Aigo."
Nero then slumps down in front of the broken castle. I reach out my hand, but she shakes her head.
"It's just the limit of my stamina. I used a lot of power, and I absorbed other selves with significant damage, so I'm completely drained..."
"..."
Clank... clank...
Quirinus turns his back without a word and walks away. The light of retreat flows from him, and as Luoyang rises, he speaks.
"Rome loves you. Do not forget that and move forward, Rome (Nero)."
"... Ah, I will not forget. Father of the gods."
With a content smile, the Grand Lancer retreats.
"Hmm... Then I'll also bid farewell to the Round Table. It's unreasonable to take them elsewhere since they are Servants. We'll meet again next time."
Artoria walks toward Camelot to say goodbye... Only Nero and I remain.
"... I love you."
"....."
"Will you accept my... my confession?"
The rose offered by the Rose Emperor. I take the flower and smile broadly.
"Of course, Nero."
I bow to her and give her a kiss. Then, Nero blushes, touches her mouth with her hand, and smiles happily.
"Truly... you are a man of many sins."
"I get that a lot originally."
"No wonder you have many wives... Yet I fell in love. Fufu, you really are a bad man. To dare embrace my endless love... I love such you."
"Me too, Nero."
I offer her my hand, and she takes it and stands up. Then, she returns not as the Beast Emperor, but as the Rose Emperor Nero. Rose petals scatter from her as she returns to her original form. It was not the Counter Force that called me here, to Rome.
What called me... was Nero herself.
When the Beast Hacks were gathering power, her inner desperate wish to not be alone and to live... reached me, who had a connection with the half 666 beast. Unknowingly, she who possessed the Singularity's Holy Grail wished for salvation and called me. Now, I can understand that. It seems Nero herself still doesn't know, though.
"The Singularity is gradually collapsing..."
"Indeed... But, there's no way to Rayshift..."
"Rayshift...? Ah, you have your original timeline. Tell me where to go. I'll take you there."
"Huh...? Can Nero come along too?"
"It doesn't matter now. I have Independent Manifestation. It's a power that proves I exist in any time and space. So, even without me now, there will be no changes to history. In short, there's no reason to part with you."
"... I see. Then, let's go together."
We smile at each other and hold hands.
"Take me too! Are you ignoring your original wife!?"
"Oops..."
Artoria, who finishes saying goodbye and comes running, grabs my hand while huffing. She's sulking... I got swept up in the mood and accidentally... This is my fault.
"Fufu, won't you take her too? Artoria. Aren't you already my friend?"
"Who said we're friends arbitrarily, Emperor... Fine, I'll let it slide for now."
"Umu, what a cute goddess. Fufu... Then, let's go."
"Yes, let's go. To the world where we will be together."
Thus, ending the long journey in Rome... we leave the Singularity.
".... Huh?"
"What's wrong, Fergus? Making such a blank expression... Who are those two!? Enemies!?"
Huh...? Why is this the France Singularity at the starting point...? Clearly, over a week should have passed...? No, why only Olga and Illya...?
"What... is this situation?"
"What, they're not enemies...?"
"Why? We just Rayshifted, right? Wait, is that Saber!? What's with that body!?"
"No, it's not me, it's this one."
"Illyasviel... This is another strange缘分 indeed."
... Just now, Rayshifted...?
The timeline... got tangled...? So, we struggled for over a week, but here it's just starting...?
"....."
I just lie down on the field.
"Fe, Fergus...?"
"I don't know. Anyway, damn Counter Force, no way. I quit..."
Whatever Olga says, I just want to quit. Does someone think I'm a fighting machine...
"Umu, a nap? That's good too."
"Lying down to rest in the field is also a joy of life. I did that alone sometimes too."
Nero and Artoria smile and lie down next to me, and I just take a nap right away.
"No, what is this situation...?"
"Who knows... Let's just rest too."
"We just arrived!?"
Life is bitter...
