Chapter 118. Netizen: "Oh my god, the Gundam's using Noble Phantasms!!"
[Battle!]
[Only through unending battle!]
[Can she protect—all the beautiful things she longs to preserve!]
[Inside a gloomy Reality Marble covered with endless golden sand, the blood-stained girl kept charging toward King of Heroes Gilgamesh, her white hand gripping the sword hilt tightly, slashing through all obstacles~.]
[At the same time, golden waves covered the entire sky, countless Treasures of The King rained down.]
[Reflected was a pair of cold yet elegant eyes, strong—but also tolerant of everything.]
[Countless swords embedded in the Graveyard of Swords simultaneously responded to the will of Yukinoshita Yukino.]
[Each sword rang out, then rose from the ground one after another, transforming into stars shooting into the sky, intercepting the rain of Noble Phantasms pouring down, their collision sparking brilliant flares like falling stars.]
["Clang! Clang…!!"]
[In the fierce clash, tens of thousands of Noble Phantasms and swords shattered in an instant.]
[The clear sounds echoed like flocks of larks joyfully singing.]
[While using Unlimited Blade Works to block Gate of Babylon, the girl kept charging upward, frantically climbing from the leg of the Supreme Divine Machine.]
[She looked steadfastly at Gilgamesh standing at the peak, hands tightly gripping Kanshou and Bakuya.]
[Everything on the ground gradually became tiny, the body of the Divine Machine was like a stairway to the heavens.]
[This battle—was destined to reach the clouds!]
[Eight thousand meters…]
[Six thousand meters…]
[Three thousand meters…]
[The distance between them narrowed, more golden waves began to spread, like waterfalls falling from the starry sky, an almost endless rain of Noble Phantasms poured down.]
[The Divine Machine roared in fury, its massive mechanical fist like a mountain suddenly slammed straight at Yukino.]
["BOOOOM…!!"]
[The air trembled, the sky tore apart, amidst the deafening explosion, a faint scream of rage echoed from the girl—"Shoot it down, Broken Phantasm!"]
[In the next moment, a brilliant light burst out, and a giant mechanical arm fell from the sky.]
[Immediately, the aura of the Supreme Divine Machine dropped sharply, gravely wounded at once.]
[After a thunderous explosion, the severed mechanical arm fell like a towering mountain, countless intricate components burning violently.]
[The ground quaked, as if collapsing, black smoke billowed and spread across dozens of kilometers.]
…
Whoa, Yukino's that strong?
Many people widened their eyes, even Hagoromo Gitsune was shaken.
Such overwhelming power had already reached the level of a top-tier Servant. Even if her son—Abe no Seimei—were to be resurrected, he might not be stronger than Yukinoshita Yukino…
But, her true trump card—had yet to be unleashed.
...
[Gilgamesh stood on the head of the Divine Machine, frowning slightly as he looked at the massive mechanical arm that had just fallen, flames surging sky-high, a sense of unease rising in his heart.]
[A Reality Marble like this… no wonder that woman called her my destined enemy.]
...
Amid countless gazes, the white-haired girl pointing her sword at the King of Heroes continued her pursuit.
[Even the elixirs within the Gate of Babylon couldn't suppress the frenzied will to battle.]
[Facing the Supreme Divine Machine whose combat strength had been drastically weakened, she simply used Projection to launch round after round of [Broken Phantasm: Imaginary Collapse], then guided countless swords to pierce through the gaps in the machine's body, torturing it in a short time until it was covered in wounds.]
[The sky-piercing Supreme Divine Machine gradually became motionless, its glowing blue eyes immediately dimmed.]
[Even the peak of human scientific brilliance could not withstand infinite swords.]
[Of course, this all-out bombardment also severely depleted the mana of Yukinoshita Yukino.]
[At the same time, while absorbing power, the excessive use of Heroic Spirit power also caused the Saint Shroud to fail in suppressing the "Origin Awakening."]
[Along with the pain from her brain's nervous system, blades with a cold gleam began to sprout from within her body.]
[The girl stood on the shoulder of the Divine Machine, clenching her fist, trying to suppress the heart-wrenching pain.]
[Under the downpour of endless golden treasures, she coldly looked up at the Heroic King above, gauging the distance between them, then gently lowered her body.]
[Then…]
["BOOM!!"]
[A dent appeared on the shoulder of the Supreme Divine Machine, a thunderous explosion echoed across the heavens and earth.]
[Along with the blast of air, a magnificent stream of blood light surged upward against the current.]
[Facing the all-encompassing suppressive firepower of the Gate of Babylon, she continued advancing straight into the sky.]
[The swords from the Graveyard of Swords shot up like a raging storm, like a black dragon crashing into the sky, shaking even the edge of the horizon, roaring violently and shattering the golden light that covered the heavens.]
[The jet-black sword light, majestic and indestructible, like two giant stars colliding.]
[The surrounding space twisted, the sturdy Reality Marble emitted groaning creaks.]
[At the top of the towering Supreme Divine Machine, seeing the Gate of Babylon fail, Gilgamesh showed a trace of disbelief, "Why… how could the sword of a mongrel…"]
["Don't you understand? You are a peak existence among Heroic Spirits with countless Noble Phantasms, but…"]
["You never chose the path of pushing a single Noble Phantasm to its absolute limit."]
[A somewhat cold voice echoed in response to the King's question.]
[With a dazzling stream of blood light landing on the head of the Divine Machine, Yukinoshita Yukino appeared there, she raised the tip of her sword, calmly observing him, "Just like me, you are someone who gave up halfway."]
["…Mongrel, what gives you the right to speak such nonsense before this king? Just this broken-down mental world??"]
[The King of Heroes turned visibly dark, staring intently at the girl, raising his hand, vast mana gathered at his fingertip, and as golden ripples spread out, a forbidden aura filled the air.]
[Immediately after, a massive lava sword hilt like a mountain slowly emerged from the Gate of Babylon.]
[The sky instantly turned oppressively dark, as if it were about to collapse.]
[Then came Gilgamesh's furious roar, echoing across the heavens.]
["Look closely at how this king shall smash the Reality Marble you take so much pride in!!"]
["This fake world—I'll crush it to dust!!"]
[In the next moment, as reserve energy was activated, the dim eyes of the Supreme Divine Machine suddenly lit up, pulling the severed arm from the ground and reattaching it to the cracked joint. Though weakened, the circuits were reconnected.]
[At the master's command, a pair of mechanical arms plunged into the golden ripples.]
[The Supreme Machine roared in fury, forcibly drawing out that overwhelming, majestic sword!]
["What… is that?!"]
[Yukinoshita Yukino was slightly shocked by the unfolding scene.]
[The massive machine stood firm on the earth, its eyes emitting a dazzling blue light, holding the grand lava sword in its hand, like a war god conquering the world. Waves of heat surged, burning even the clouds crimson.]
[That greatsword was forged from mountainous lava and a blade ignited by pure flame.]
[An ancient aura spread forth, proof of the Age of the Gods!]
[Its name was "Sul-sagana: The Horizon of Dawn that Purifies the Seas."]
[Its essence was Divine Construct. It could emit vast flames to incinerate enemies.]
[Named after the twin blade of Ig-Alima, wielded by the God of War of Mesopotamia – Zababa.]
[Alternate name: Cleaving Ocean Sword.]
[A Divine Construct capable of burning and purifying the "sea of all life."]
[It carried the concept of "Horizon"—the boundary between sky and sea, the ultimate limit of "the territory in which they melt and mix."]
[Before that crimson blade, justice – evil, good – wicked, sky – ocean, enemy – adversary, all would melt away and vanish in the light of dawn.]
...
Everyone fell silent.
The faces of citizens from every nation were filled with confusion.
Though they had known about the existence of Divine Constructs…
But when a Divine Construct was wielded by the Supreme Divine Machine—a supreme colossal entity beyond even Earth's lifeforms, coldly gripping the sword, towering to the heavens, as if it could split the planet in two…
That was just too terrifying!!
Sorry, excuse me—Nigerundayo!!
Countless people trembled violently, sweat pouring like rain, their knees knocking together uncontrollably.
"Shit's over, Gundam just used a Noble Phantasm!"
"No way, is Gil actually going all in?!"
"No wonder he's the strongest ancient cheater, he's got nothing but hacks."
"Alright, alright, no wonder he let Yukino fully recover—he was hiding this the whole time."
"Gilgamesh: My dude, you just pissed off a lion!"
"Damn it, how are we supposed to fight now?!"
"Is this the reason Raku Sou gave Gilgamesh to Yukino??? Bro noped out hard!"
"Raku Sou: Ehe!"
"Yukino: Ehe te nandayo!!!"
"In the world of Servants, who's at the top? Just seeing Gil is enough to make your dao heart crumble."
...
Immediately after, a soul-stirring BGM echoed out, sacred and majestic.
["RUMBLE RUMBLE!!"]
[Roaring currents surged for a hundred miles, endless heatwaves spread across the plains.]
[In just an instant, the lava sword Sul-sagana slashed down from the clouds, and countless massive gears suspended in the air shattered into pieces.]
[The Supreme Divine Machine, gripping the Divine Construct in its hand, cleaved the sky apart, tearing Reality Marble asunder!]
[The desolate world full of twisted golden sand was, inch by inch, erased into nothingness.]
[Reality Marble – Unlimited Blade Works was destroyed in an instant!]
[What lay before everyone's eyes was the towering Black Tower in the distance and the lush green forest at its base!]
[That grand sword struck reality, sweeping across like a colossal broom through half the city—a deafening explosion resounded across heaven and earth, tens of thousands of skyscrapers vaporized, suffocating heatwaves instantly created a magma lake stretching dozens of kilometers.]
[The aftershock spread even farther, outright obliterating a newly established U.S. military observation base in the next city—some American personnel died on the spot in a daze.]
[Yukinoshita Yukino stood atop a sharp peak near the Supreme Divine Machine, her mouth twitching as she looked down.]
[What the hell is this...]
[A single slash shattered a Reality Marble…]
[But after glancing at the Divine Machine, whose armor had begun to crack, the girl exhaled in slight relief.]
[Controlling this weapon was also an immense burden on the enemy.]
...
However, reality trembled once more!
"Look! What the fuck, there's another damn sword!!"
People groaned in near-despair, worried for Yukinoshita Yukino's fate.
In the sky above, the Supreme Machine still towered in the clouds, gripping the lava blade, then roared once more—pulling out from the golden ripples a sword even more massive and majestic!
A vague ancient aura spread forth—no one doubted it was another Divine Construct.
Right below the heavens, glowing letters appeared, confirming everyone's suspicion.
...
["Ig-Alima: Green Field Cutting Through the Thousand Mountains"!]
[Said to be one of the twin swords of the God of War Zababa in Mesopotamian mythology.]
[Alternate name: Cleaving Mountain Sword.]
[It does not cut with its blade, nor carve a path by sheer weight.]
[This Divine Construct holds the concept of "Skyline."]
[It is the absolute truth that divides heaven and earth, and when that truth flows along the sword's body, this great sword can effortlessly cut through a thousand mountains.]
[A boneless giant blade—majestic, domineering—a supreme weapon that opens a path even through endless mountain ranges!]
...
"This is fucking absurd!"
Staring at the scene before them, the yokai exclaimed hoarsely:
"Two Divine Constructs—one cuts mountains, one burns oceans—how the hell are you supposed to beat that?!"
Shit, why the hell is Gilgamesh this strong?!
Is he the damn father of Pan-Human History or something?!
He's broken past all limits—who in the Throne of Heroes even dares to play with him anymore?!
