Era of Heroic Spirits: I Was Exposed by Alaya

Under the worried gazes of countless onlookers,

From the flames and dust, Shirou finally emerged, only to be greeted by an even more terrifying array of Noble Phantasms.

"It's over! Ig-Alima! Sul-sagana!"

The King of Heroes fully unleashed the might of his Gate of Babylon, summoning two terrifying divine constructs.

One weapon was none other than—

[Ig-Alima: Green Field Cutting Through the Thousand Mountains]

A divine weapon forged by the chief god of Sumerian mythology, also known as the Mountain-Cleaving Sword.

It was said to be capable of slicing through a thousand mountains in a single strike!

Imbued with the concept of the [Skyline], representing the absolute separation of heaven and earth, it possessed the power to cleave through mountains!

The other weapon was—

[Sul-sagana: The Horizon of Dawn that Purifies the Seas]

Also forged by the chief god of Sumerian mythology, known as the Sea-Sundering Sword.

It was said to be capable of melting and evaporating all things under heaven, even the oceans themselves!

Imbued with the concept of the [Horizon], symbolizing the boundary between sky and sea, it could dissolve enemies, oceans, and even the dichotomy of good and evil.

These two ultimate divine constructs now unleashed their full might.

The Reality Marble trembled violently.

The colossal Noble Phantasms descended like world-rending weapons of creation amidst deafening roars.

For a moment, countless spectators stared wide-eyed, as if witnessing a battle straight out of myth.

In this dire moment,

Shirou glared at the two ultimate divine constructs and roared, "Trace! Synchronize! Overwrite!"

Hum~

As he poured his mana into the projection, to the disbelief of all present,

He actually succeeded in replicating the divine constructs!

Boom!

A cataclysmic collision erupted, unleashing an explosion that threatened to tear everything apart.

The two mighty divine constructs—the Mountain-Cleaving Sword and the Sea-Sundering Sword—were shattered by Shirou's own projections!

Yes, with his replicated Noble Phantasms, he had destroyed the originals!

Witnessing this, countless spectators felt the urge to kneel in awe—

-[Holy shit! Emiya the Hero just handcrafted divine constructs!]

-[Holy shit, I'm genuinely kneeling! Is there anything the mighty Shirou can't do?]

-[Incredible! Absolutely fucking incredible!]

-[A projected imitation of a divine construct actually overpowered the real deal... I, Teemo, hereby declare you the strongest!]

...

Within the bounded field.

"You truly are special! To the myths we depict, you are nothing but a stain that must be erased!"

Angelica paused briefly, her gaze growing colder as she stared at her opponent. "Your detestable abilities, the inexplicable mastery of magecraft you possess, and that unwavering, death-defying resolve of yours."

Hum~

A golden vortex materialized beside her hand.

Angelica drew forth the most suffocating Noble Phantasm, brimming with boundless killing intent. "Allow me to sever it all—to shatter even your world along with it!"

This Noble Phantasm was none other than the King of Heroes' mightiest weapon, the pinnacle of all heroic spirits' armaments—

[Ea!]

Every spectator was instantly overwhelmed by a sense of despair akin to suffocation.

In the previous Unlimited Blade Works video, Emiya had relied on the invincible defensive Noble Phantasm [Avalon], bestowed by King Arthur, to withstand the onslaught of the ultimate offensive weapon, Ea.

But now, he had no [Avalon]!

A Noble Phantasm of this caliber could never be replicated through projection, no matter how much magical energy one exhausted!

How could he possibly withstand it?

The young man gazed at the terrifying Noble Phantasm that tore through everything and sighed softly, "Indeed, no sword could ever oppose it."

But surrender was not an option.

Behind him, an endless sea of swords rose into the air.

Countless blades, as if answering a call, converged behind him at this very moment.

"Though it may be unfair, let me face you with every sword I possess!"

Countless swords gleamed behind Shirou's back.

"Useless, useless, useless! No matter how much trash you pile up, it's still just trash—utterly worthless!"

Angelica sneered contemptuously. "Return to the origin—"

[Enuma Elish!]

Bzzzt—

Ea spun wildly, its crimson radiance erupting in full force.

Within the Reality Marble, cracks began to form—unable to withstand its overwhelming power.

Amidst this suffocating wave of destruction...

From beyond the bounded field, a brilliant and warm green light suddenly pierced through.

The girl who had been summoned by the Holy Grail and was beginning her journey to another world—opened her eyes at this very moment!

Her gaze fixed upon the fractured void ahead.

A vast, surging torrent of magical energy poured through some mysterious connection, flooding into the exhausted young man's body.

"Please, Onii-chan... you must defeat her!"

Blood trickled from Miyu's lips.

Countless fissures spread across her entire body.

Yet she paid no heed to her own peril, channeling every last drop of her magical energy to him!

Within the Reality Marble...

Shirou felt the immense, unending surge of power flowing into him. His body trembled violently as he roared in fury, "Miyu! I will carve out a happy future for you with this blade!"

Bzzzt—

With the vast magical energy provided by the Holy Grail, he began rewriting the Reality Marble itself—

"I am the master of all blades!"

"Blood like a furnace, bones like steel!"

"This body has never known defeat!"

"This sword seeks no victory!"

"Melt the swords upon the hill of blades!"

"Here and now, I offer this body in its entirety!"

"Even as a counterfeit, I am the master of all blades!"

As his chant echoed, an overwhelming surge of magical energy erupted violently.

In the void, a colossal furnace seemed to manifest.

A figure from his future stood within, forging and tempering relentlessly.

Using his own body as the ultimate crucible, he fused every sword together.

Shirou grasped the void itself.

A weapon of ancient design—yet one that seemed to embody the will of countless blades—was born in an instant.

"In the name of the sword, I shall cut down all enemies!"

Swinging the mysterious blade, Shirou clashed head-on with Angelica amidst an endless cacophony.

This single strike—

Carried a force that shattered all resistance.

To Angelica's shock, it cleaved straight through the devastating might of Ea's slash.

The blade froze space itself, rendering her unable to activate [Displacement Magecraft], forcing her to summon Noble Phantasms in desperation to block.

"Impossible!!!"

Angelica let out a furious scream.

Because—one after another, her Noble Phantasms were torn apart in an instant, unable to withstand even a fraction of the blade's power.

BOOM—

The sword traced a dazzling arc through the air.

Under her disbelieving gaze, it severed the very hand that wielded Ea!
