Chapter 504 - Chapter 490: Ah, The Sun~ The Sun!, A Gas Explosion at Chaldea

[ After the most chaotic melee in history unfolded, Artoria, carried by the Knights of the Round Table, locked horns with Nero, who was riding atop three Dragon Girls.

The two, who looked exactly alike, first engaged in a contest of strength. However, it was clear that they were evenly matched in terms of power, resulting in a stalemate.

Nero seized this opportunity to launch a verbal assault, attacking fiercely: "Ancient King of Hunger, you've had enough screen time! Isn't it time you retired to Avalon?!"

"There's nothing good to eat in Avalon!" Artoria retorted without changing her expression: "You talk too much. Learn your place, derivative character!"

As soon as these words came out, Nero was clearly triggered. As if struck by an invisible bolt of lightning, her eyes burned with rage.

Acting as a mount, Sir Gawain also made faces and provoked her: "Exactly, exactly! You're just a palette swap!"

Even the Dragon Girl Elizabeth beneath Nero nodded in deep agreement upon hearing this.

Nero, having been stabbed in the back by Gawain again, flew into a rage and smashed a headbutt over: "Umu~ is a mature adult!" ]

"Palette swap, is it… I've wanted to say that for a long time. These two even have the exact same ahoge on their heads. Isn't that just a palette swap?"

Outside the video, everyone's mouths twitched as they watched Sire Gawain making faces… I beg you, don't use that handsome face to make such movements! Your image of aloofness from the Singularity has completely collapsed.

 .....

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜

In the 6th Singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot—

"I'm sorry, Sire Gawain! It seems I misunderstood you regarding the match-fixing earlier,"

Mordred apologized sincerely upon seeing this scene.

She hadn't expected that Sir Gawain, who usually kept a straight face, would go so far as to make such a wretched expression for the sake of Father King's victory.

She even felt as if she were meeting him for the first time today. That expression, the aggro was really strong… Even she wanted to beat him up after seeing it. The sacrifice was truly too great.

Hearing Mordred's comfort, Sir Gawain felt incredibly stifled, looking at the screen:

"What in the world is this…"

Is that really me? Is that expression and tone something I, a Knight of the Round Table, would produce?

That great Irish hero, Cu Chulainn, please come back quickly. In the days without you, it seems they've started persecuting me!

〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜.

"No, no, no, who says it's just a palette swap? Clearly, the chest has received an epic buff!"

Misaka Mikoto looked enviously at Nero's abundant fruits. What on earth does she eat to grow like that?

That was simply an insurmountable chasm. The King of Knights ate so much rice, yet no one knew where it all went; she remained flat and unremarkable to this day.

Kuroko stared at Mikoto's chest with a somewhat subtle gaze, panting excitedly:

"Speaking of which, it seems that among so many Saber-faces, the King of Knights is the smallest, comparable to Onee-sama!"

It might sound unbelievable, but even Mordred, who had the exact same face and looked very boyish, was bigger than the King of Knights.

"Zzzzt—Ahhh."

After a flash of blue-white electric light, the embarrassed and angry Mikoto directly ignored the scream and electrocuted a certain pervert into charcoal.

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜

In the 7th Singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—

"What do you mean 'there's nothing good to eat in Avalon'…"

Merlin revealed a face full of amusement and helplessness: "

Lia, you should have refuted the 'Ancient King of Hunger' part."

Your rebuttal lacked aggression, and honestly, it breaks my heart a little. I worked so hard to raise you, after all.

Ishtar looked at Merlin teasingly:

"Don't you get it yet? 'No good food in Avalon' means the food you make tastes bad!"

But then again, what happened to the sports competition? How did it turn into a battlefield again?

 .....

[ After the two gave each other a headbutt with their headband-wrapped foreheads, they each took a few steps back, turned their heads, and pulled out their Noble Phantasms.

Artoria drew her Sword of Promised Victory, and Nero drew her Aestus Estus!

Meanwhile, on the host platform, Mash held up her shield to block a stray attack, looking somewhat panicked: "Ahhh, Senpai! It has developed into a real war!"

"If we don't overcome this situation, humanity will have no future!" Gudako also seemed to realize the severity of the problem and spoke with a deep expression.

Although her words seemed righteous and awe-inspiring, facing this competition that threatened to destroy heaven and earth, Gudako dove straight into Red Hare's embrace to hide.

"Da Vinci-chan, do you have any solut—" Seeing that her Master was unreliable, Mash turned her head to ask Da Vinci for help, only to freeze.

Da Vinci had already slipped away, leaving behind only a cardboard cutout of Da Vinci holding a sign that read: 'I went back.'

Mash was on the verge of tears: "ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY!!" ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

Damn… surely not, surely not. Watching both of them pull out their Noble Phantasms, everyone outside the video instantly broke into a cold sweat. THIS IS TRULY THE END—!

 .....

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜

Watching her own scum-like speech on the screen, Fujimaru Ritsuka's face instantly darkened with black lines:

"You still know that humanity needs a future!"

Spoken so passionately and righteously, but didn't you think about who caused this?! You've almost turned a sports competition into a Singularity.

Seeing that Da Vinci-chan had already slipped away when things looked bad, Mash didn't know what to say for a moment: "Da Vinci-chan… you…"

Stared at by Mash's pitiful gaze, Da Vinci subconsciously felt a bit awkward: "Well… maybe I went back first to think of a solution?"

Sigh… Mash sighed deeply upon hearing this. It's really tough for you, the 'me' in the other world… An unreliable Master, plus completely unreliable adults!

 .....

[ "Enough! Turn into scattering flowers!" The Golden Theater appeared instantly, and with a bewildered expression on Dragon Girl Elizabeth's face, it began to fly into the sky.

"Still calling yourself a cross-dressing beauty!" Artoria closed her eyes slightly, and the Holy Sword in her hand began to emit light.

"The gathered breath of the planet, the shining torrent of life—Ex-Calibur!"

"Witness the talent of Umu! Listen to the thunderous applause! Then praise, praise this Golden Theater—Laus St. Claudius!"

Nero descended from the sky like a red meteor, while Artoria swung the Holy Sword forward, sending dazzling golden light surging upward to meet her.

The moment the two Noble Phantasms collided, blinding white light filled the entire screen. Even Chaldea began to collapse downward due to this terrifying power.

The words 'Foundation Restoration Failed' appeared on the screen.

Then the scene changed, and Father Kotomine's voice, full of joy, rang out: "The Human Order Security Organization, Chaldeas, has been severely damaged due to a mysterious explosion and has fallen into an even more severe resource shortage."

The next second, a naked Gawain crawled out of the snow with a face full of smiles, opening his arms to welcome the hard-won sun: "The sun! It's the sun!" ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"What do you mean by 'mysterious reason'? It was gas! I added gas to Chaldea! It was a gas explosion!"

"Hahahaha, Sire Gawain… are you trying to kill me with laughter!"

Seeing Gawain suddenly pop out of the snow, people in other worlds laughed until they couldn't stand straight. It was simply a world-famous painting! The future was thoroughly gone this time.

Now, Goetia probably wouldn't be able to figure out why he bombed Chaldea back then, even if he racked his brains… Can't you see that if you just leave Chaldea alone, they can blow themselves up!

 .....

〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜

"Does anyone remember that this was a sports meet similar to the Daihaseisai…"

Kamijou Touma was numb, staring blankly at Chaldea, which had already turned into light.

This competition is a bit too intense! Even the Holy Grail War didn't reach this level.

As expected of the Grand Order with A++ difficulty, known as the hardest in history. It achieved a feat that even Goetia failed to accomplish.

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜

"Chaldea… is gone just like that?"

Dr. Roman obviously hadn't recovered from the shock, looking dull as he spoke blankly to Fujimaru:

"Can you give me my Chaldea back?"

Is this the Final Singularity, the Incineration of Humanity? Burning Chaldea down? Is this how you treat Chaldea after I leave?

Seeing the Doctor about to turn dark, Fujimaru instantly broke into a cold sweat:

"Doctor, calm down. That's just a parallel world; don't take it seriously."

She had no time to worry about the tragedy over there, because at this moment, Mash was also dumbfounded:

"Sun Knight Gawain… was his personality… originally this lively?"

"Lively" was the most euphemistic way she could think of. What she really wanted to say was: Who is this idiot?

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜

In the 6th Singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot—

Watching Gawain praising the sun, a strange expression appeared on Mordred's face, her voice trembling slightly:

"Sire Gawain, isn't this great? A polar day sun, this means you're invincible."

After struggling to finish her sentence, Mordred quickly turned her head away, biting her lip desperately, trying hard not to let the laughter that was about to burst the dam escape.

She wanted to laugh just seeing Gawain's serious face now. She didn't expect his goofy personality to be hidden so deep. The sun~The sun~…

Lancelot tried hard to suppress his smile, feeling the muscles on his face trembling, holding it in until his face was flushed red:

"At least this victory belongs to us! Sire Gawain, you obtained the final victory."

After speaking, he also hurriedly lowered his head, his shoulders shaking constantly, afraid that he would accidentally laugh out loud.

As for our Sun Knight Gawain, there was no longer a ripple in his eyes. Like a shell that had lost its soul, he stared blankly ahead.

To be honest, he missed Cu Chulainn a little. At least when he was around, the one being persecuted was always him, and it never fell to anyone else.
