Arthur: Enuma Elish, the Star of Creation

'Swish--'

The moment he opened his eyes, his emerald green pupils circled around and around, and the whole world seemed incredibly fragile in Arthur's eyes.

The Excalibur high, suddenly slashed down.

The sharp blade sliced through the air, yet no sound of it cutting through the air could be heard.

A dazzling golden light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The enormous light is invisible to the naked eye; it can only be seen from a bird's-eye view, looking down from the Decalvan.

'Tear--'

The sound of tearing cloth rang out, and Golden Torrent, which clearly contained indestructible cutting power, was as if it had been struck by an incredible force and split in two, grazing past Arthur's left and right sides and obliterating a large area of forest behind him.

In addition, the sound of tearing cloth could also be heard from Gilgamesh himself.

Having never experienced Great Swordsman's strike, nor having activated the specially restricted Sha Naqba Imuru, although his strong Intuition gave him a strong sense of danger, he never imagined that such a 'Swordsmanship' with a speed exceeding 767 and defying the rules existed in the world.

When Gilgamesh caught a glimpse of that fleeting golden light, he activated the 'Rho Aias'.

But it was instantly shattered by the Great Swordsman's slash, and his entire right arm was also severed off.

Pride and arrogance are forever synonymous with Gilgamesh.

Despite possessing the power to resolve the Holy Grail War overnight—the Servant of Servant strength—he has never taken it seriously.

He treated Arthur the same way this time, even after witnessing '200 Million Volt Rhongomyniad' before, he didn't take Arthur seriously at all.

Perhaps it's because he has too many prototypes of powerful Noble Phantasms that he's so confident.

Or rather, Ea 'Ea' was too powerful, giving him boundless confidence.

Now, he's suffering because he's never experienced the power of Great Swordsman's strikes, and because he's been too arrogant and overconfident.

Arthur cut off his arm.

"King of Heroes, is this all the strength you have?" Arthur put down Excalibur, a few beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, and looked at Gilgamesh in the distance, who was clutching his arm, veins bulging on his forehead, and a look of rage on his face. He suddenly spoke.

The Great Swordsman's strike just now not only depleted Arthur's energy and spirit, but also drained a large portion of his Mana power.

However, it was worth it to cut off one of Gilgamesh's arms.

The island of 'Decalvan' beneath our feet has a deep, gaping chasm filled with azure seawater.

If you look down from the sky, you'll see that the island of 'Decalvan' looks like a cake with a small piece cut off, with a flawed edge.

"You bastard, you've successfully angered me!" Gilgamesh said with murderous intent, ignoring his still bleeding severed arm, and reached his left hand directly into the halo that appeared beside him.

Upon seeing this, Arthur's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of eager fervor flashing across them.

Gilgamesh then took out a golden key from the halo.

This is the King's Key, the key to unlocking the treasures of ancient Babylon.

The key, as if armed, began to change.

A strange sword appeared in Gilgamesh's hand in an instant.

Rather than being called a sword, its blade is completely different from the concept of a sword. Other swords are long, three-foot-long blades, Japanese swords are tachi, and Western swords are slender, but this sword is made up of three tightly connected cylindrical sections that spiral around like a spiral.

But without a doubt, it is a sword!

Something that existed before the concept of a 'sword' was even born.

That is a testament to the divine manifestation of creation, the opening of a new civilization, the opening of Mesopotamia, and the opening of an entire era!

"I had planned a grand funeral for you after you finished showing off," Gilgamesh said, his anger burning. "But now, this is my punishment."

"You bastard, use your death to atone for the humiliation of the greatest king in the world!"

Wake up, EA! The stage for you is ready!

"Heaven and earth parted, the star of creation—Enuma-elish!"

A massive amount of Mana surged forth from the three Ea sections of 'Ea'.

These Mana are like those that disregard all the laws of the world, possessing a cutting force that Excalibur and Durandal.

The entire sky was wailing, the sea was roaring, and the islands were trembling.

Wherever this Mana swept, cracks appeared in space, atmosphere, and ground—some were dark spatial cracks, some atmospheric cracks like those of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and some were ravines where the ground collapsed.

Even the azure sky, the clouds and the sky, were easily torn apart.

Before the ocean could even prepare for a tsunami, it was cleaved into countless pieces by a terrifying force.

The forests vanished, and even the colossal volcano gradually turned into molecules.

The sky collapsed, the earth cracked, and the sea sank...

It requires no aiming, because its target is the world itself!

Anti-World Noble Phantasm -Ea: Ea.

In reality, Gilgamesh would naturally be unable to create such an exaggerated scene.

However, within the Reality Marble of these World Eggs, Ea is their absolute nemesis.

'Enuma-elish' is the release of Ea, while 'Heaven and Earth Divergence, Ea Star' is the maximum output state of Ea.

Faced with this power, even Arthur's Reality Marble crumbled as easily as paper.

Avalon--

However, Arthur himself was completely unaffected before the Reality Marble collapsed.

Before the foothold beneath his feet disappeared, Arthur unleashed the power of the Avalon.

His entire body was enveloped in a transparent white light shield, making him appear almost ethereal. He exerted a little force.

'Call out--'

A beam of blue and white light shot towards Gilgamesh.

Within the light barrier, Arthur's eyes gleamed with anticipation.

Finally, you used it!

Chapter 315 Arthur: Heaven and Earth Diverge, the Star of Creation

The liberation of the Noble Phantasm of the Avalon is the True Name Release of 'Avalon'.

If 'Ea' has the power to absolutely counter Reality Marble, then 'Avalon's' True Name Release also has the ability to Ea 'Ea'.

When the power of liberating the Avalon is unleashed, even the 'Ea' Ea cannot break its absolute defense.

This is a Noble Phantasm that is completely unaffected by any physical interference or interference from parallel worlds; it is Noble Phantasm that even 'Ea' cannot touch, reaching the realm of True Magic.

If Gilgamesh gets serious, he's the pinnacle of Servants; even Arthur isn't his match.

So once Arthur liberates the 'Avalon', he will be invincible.

'Clang--'

Protected by Avalon, Arthur moved like a beam of light, stepping on the collapsed ground mixed with the sea, and rushed to Gilgamesh's side.

'Sizzle sizzle...'

Under Gilgamesh's wide, red-eyed gaze, Arthur unleashed a powerful kick crackling with electricity, striking Gilgamesh's left wrist with tremendous force.

'Whoosh--snap!'

Intense pain and numbness assaulted his entire arm, and coupled with his already low strength, 'Ea' slipped directly from Gilgamesh's hand.

It spun around in the air a few times before being caught by Arthur.

"Reality Marble-- "

'Call--'

Leaping into the air, he grasped the Ea of 'Ea', and the world on the verge of collapse took on a new look once again.

A gust of icy, bone-chilling wind swept in.

The collapsed sky, the crumbling earth, and the sea seemed to have reversed time, restoring everything to its original state.

However, the island of 'Decalvan' has become Winter Island, the place where Arthur once fought against 'former Marine Admiral's Kuzan.

"You bastard, give me back EA!"

Looking at Arthur, who had landed with his back to him, Gilgamesh's face was filled with uncontrollable rage as he roared in a low voice.

'Clang!'

"Sorry, this sword will have to stay with me for a while." The transparent white aura around Arthur disappeared. He held Excalibur in one hand and Ea in the other. The three cylindrical blades clashed with the Ea scabbard that had reappeared on the blade of Excalibur.

Gilgamesh witnessed this scene and found it utterly humiliating, causing him to laugh in anger and say, "You think you can possess EA?"

Noble Phantasms are the ultimate weapon of Servants, materialized miracles, and proof of Servant's heroism.

Similar to Magecraft, these are fantastical weapons created using human imagination as their framework.

Each Noble Phantasm can only be unleashed by the hero who possesses it; no one else can unleash its power.

Therefore, Arthur's desire to unleash 'Ea' is simply a pipe dream.

Moreover, no matter who 'Ea' Ea into, it will still return to Gilgamesh's personal Gate of Babylon after this war ends.

Because apart from Arthur's Excalibur, the Avalon that Rhongomyniad, and the 'Avalon' possessed by Kiritsugu Emiya, which are the prototypes.

Other Servants are like Heroic Spirits, and even their Noble Phantasms are materialized conceptual weapons.

"Alright, here you go!" At that moment, Arthur suddenly threw 'Ea' at Gilgamesh.

"..."

Gilgamesh, who instinctively Ea 'Ea', showed a rare look of bewilderment.

But the next moment, his expression changed drastically.

Wrong!

Wrong!

It was less a shocking turn of events and more a terrifying experience.

It was as if he had seen something that made King of Heroes pale with fright.

Arthur tossed Ea back to Gilgamesh and then raised Excalibur.

In the next instant, the magnificent Excalibur began to twist and warp.

The magnificent golden blade seemed to have seeped into an illusion, its shape becoming blurred.

·· ········Requesting flowers····· ·····

When that distorted feeling disappeared, Excalibur looked different.

The three cylindrical blades are tightly connected, spiraling around each other like a helix, and Mana gradually emerges.

Wake up, EA! The stage for you is ready!

"Heaven and earth diverge, the star of creation! Enuma-elish--"

The words, which sounded strangely familiar and made Gilgamesh's face contort, came out of Arthur's mouth as if he had eaten shit.

The downward slash, unleashing a torrent of Mana, sent Gilgamesh flying at high speed.

All of this is true!

Heaven and earth weep!

Countless spatial rifts reappeared in the sky, the earth collapsed, and the sea churned and sank.

"You bastard, next time we meet, I will grind you to dust!" The power of the spacetime rift, like a tearing force that distorts everything, engulfed Gilgamesh.

Surrounded by the shattered earth, with numerous abyss-like ravines overflowing with seawater, Gilgamesh had no way to escape.
