It's Another World

There was a one-horned girl with a bun hairstyle, her body wrapped in white bandages.

With a loud bang.

A multi-functional weapon with various mechanisms, combining the functions of a sword, a gun, and a chainsaw, a highly sophisticated mechanical Greatsword, fell to the ground with a muffled thud.

"It's so hot... so hot... I can't take it anymore. Without air conditioning, I can't go on..." The one-horned girl lay sprawled on the ground, looking utterly exhausted and unable to get up.

"Gah!" The other unicorn girl, who looked like a twin sister, carried a large hammer and pulled the girl up with her other hand, leading her into the house.

"Hey... Fran! Wait! I think I can still be saved!" Babbage shouted in a mechanical voice.

"Gah!" Class B Fran turned around, picked up the black bonnet that had fallen there, tucked it into his arms, and took A-rank Fran's hand, walking into the room.

"As expected... Fran, who doesn't say a word, is such a good boy." Babbage, though already in steam engine mode, was still deeply moved.

"After all, Babbage, you have a mechanical head. My other self thinks the same way." Little Fran turned around and said with a smile.

"..." The black-haired man fell silent, and the surroundings quieted down, except for the red light that symbolized vitality, which continued to flash intermittently.

Although the battle was fierce, the Justice Machine Alliance emerged victorious.

"Waaah... I was confident that the boy would fall in love with me at first sight. But I was defeated before I even got through the door. What is this? Such a disgrace... Such a disgrace, I will never forget!!!" Queen Medb was unfortunately caught in the self-destruction of the giant Mechanical Dragon Girl.

She had only accepted the invitation with the intention of collecting high-quality men, leading her Celtic warriors into the battle. However, she suffered a setback and was forced to retreat in defeat.

"Senior, is this really alright?" Mash, holding up the massive shield, asked worriedly. She and her senior had been carefully following the attacking Celtic army, and only managed to activate their Noble Phantasm just before the explosion, thus avoiding being...

"Well, this is Singularity anyway, and those who died were all Servant. Even if they really were Servant got lost from Chaldea, we can just summon them back." Gudako waved her hand, telling Mash to relax, it's not a big deal.

However, there was something strange: although the Servant from both sides were engaged in fierce battle, Artoria, the Galactic Police in charge of this place, was nowhere to be seen. She didn't appear here at the beginning.

At this moment, there was no one at the portal on the planet that had invaded the Silver Police Division from the other side.

"They're all wiped out. There were just too many rabble; they're completely unreliable. We really need to persuade some powerful Servant, but they're all so arrogant and unwilling to join forces with us." The purple-haired girl, standing behind the cover, cautiously peeked out, looking at the battlefield that could only be described as horrific, and sighed.

"Isn't this what you said, BB-chan, about going all out?" The voice sounded like that of a cold young girl. She had wrapped her body tightly in a cloak, and the hood covered half of her face, but it was vaguely visible that she was wearing glasses.

The purple-haired girl drawled out her words in a coquettish tone, pouting as she said, "Because~! Those Celtic guys don't follow my plan at all. They're supposed to hold off the enemy while I rescue my senior. It's such a perfect plan, why do so many people disagree? They're so stingy~!"

"That's because everyone doesn't trust you. You might just run away with Shirou, right?" The voice was cold and authoritative, as if the speaker were a terrifying assassin or a dreadful villain.

When she emerged from the shadows, she revealed a face exactly like Artoria's. Her once vibrant golden hair had faded to a grayish hue. Although she still sported a distinctive ahoge (cowlick), her overall demeanor was more composed, and because she was a dark-themed character, she possessed a mysterious aura. She resembled a quiet, bespectacled girl in the SOS Brigade who was always reading.

"Halt ahead!" Blocking their path was the blonde girl in mecha armor. At this moment, Artoria had removed her helmet, revealing her beautiful face. She had been waiting here for a long time.

This was to prevent Servant from trying to ambush us from behind, but unexpectedly, it wasn't an Assassin skilled in stealth who came here, nor a mysterious Magecraft. Instead...

"Then, the toughest nut to crack next is yours, A-chan! I'll sneak in when I get the chance!!!" BB said, pointing to the black-clad mecha girl guarding the rear.

"I understand, I'll hold her off!" A-chan pushed up her glasses and drew the two lightsabers that were emitting a red glow.

The bespectacled girl in the cloak lightly swung the red laser sword in her hand, making a buzzing sound, as if the laser was cutting through the air.

"A-chan, I didn't expect you to come too?" Artoria looked at the girl with glasses and said to herself with a sense of responsibility. To be honest, the girl in front of her was actually the youngest and most lovable one, apart from Lily, who was pure and innocent and made her feel all sorts of shocks.

A-chan, who eats all sorts of Japanese sweets every day, is as cute as a pet.

The girl removed her glasses and put them in the pocket of her cloak. She raised her red lightsaber, pointed it at Artoria, and declared with overwhelming force, "Take this! For a year's worth of 'Great Fortune'... no! For reigning supreme over the universe, Miss Artoria, I will defeat you once again!"

In this universe, Artoria was originally unique, and the reason why A-chan exists is because of this.

That was all because of her miscalculation throughout her life. While searching for Shirou, Artoria suddenly had a brilliant idea: why not share some of the power within her body?

Artoria created multiple clones, all with the same goal: to achieve something. However, a conflict arose regarding the allocation of time spent with Shirou.

As a result, none of the Artoria would submit to the others, leading to a chaotic battle.

Although Artoria, as the original being, barely won, this internal strife led to a cosmic upheaval, and a new race called the Artoria race officially entered the stage of this universe.

The evil forces, the Dark Round Table, even used her as a model to create Pendragon, a weapon specifically designed to counter Saber and Artoria!

However, what Artoria didn't know was that her power had been targeted. With the help of those who had designs on her, the Sugar Tyrant, Lord Pendragon, was born in this universe. And unlike before, it was as if for every positive aspect, there would be a negative one.

Buzz!!!

The lightsaber made a sound with each swing.

The holy sword emitting blue light and the laser sword emitting red light clashed and interacted repeatedly.

This girl displayed unprecedented strength. As the last survivor of the Crimson Dawn... no, the Dark Round Table, she had the duty to eliminate Artoria.

"Don't speak, just feel it. The Force is with you," the knight-helmet-shaped robot beside the girl said in a stern voice.

He is the robot K6-X4, known as the 'Black Knight,' who secretly assists the girl. Although he speaks harshly and appears tough and cold-blooded, he is also extremely loyal to the girl.

As the girl with the code name XB, in another timeline, there is actually a sister named 2B. She herself is skilled with knives and guns, and is accompanied by an auxiliary robot that can not only communicate but also launch heavy hammers, lasers, or grenade launchers to bombard and attack.

Clearly, this black knight's abilities are far from sufficient.

As Alter's Lord Pendragon, he turned one of the lightsabers in his hand around, hilt to hilt, and slipped it onto the blade. The laser twin swords instantly transformed into a red, double-edged laser staff, with blades on both sides capable of cutting through iron like mud, further increasing the distance between them.

The girl gripped the double-edged sword between her fingers, her eyes sharpening as she became fully absorbed in the fight.

Artoria gripped the Nameless Victory Sword tightly with both hands, knowing that her opponent's next move would definitely be serious.

At that moment, two beams of light shot down from the sky, leaving several craters in the ground.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! You scoundrels, cease your fighting! I have arrived! Kneel down and submit!" A loud, booming laugh echoed from high above the sky.

A magnificent, golden galactic spaceship slowly descended from the sky, completely obscuring the earth. A golden-armored figure could be vaguely seen standing on the ship's bow, gleaming brilliantly under the lights.

The sky then turned golden, and the nearly kilometer-long Milky Way cosmic behemoth revealed its enormous cannons, golden outer armor, and even its hull!

He removed the golden helmet that resembled a gas mask from his head, revealing his blond hair and red eyes. The Cosmic Great Emperor Gil made his dazzling entrance. Arrogant and untamed, his eyes held the vastness of the universe, considering the entire cosmos his possession. Resources, treasures, and people—nothing was exempt!

He is none other than Gil, the Galactic Emperor, the demon king who wantonly invades the surrounding planets in this world, and an evil overlord.

"Magic? It seems I can't use it smoothly?" Shirou looked at his hand, which was emitting light after activating the Reinforcement Magic. The magic circuit had just started running when it snapped shut uncontrollably, as if a power switch had tripped, and the light on his hand dimmed.

This feeling was as if he had returned to the time when he was working behind closed doors in a warehouse, haphazardly practicing Projection.

"This is a real crisis. It seems that humans are better off following the machines' instructions," said Elizabeth II, who was in charge of taking care of Shirou.

"Wait, Miss Number Two, this isn't about making arrangements, is it? Shouldn't we address this life-or-death matter first?" Shirou pointed out the window. The explosion just now was practically right next to him, separated by only a wall. If it had been four or five meters closer, this room would probably be completely destroyed by now.

"I have great confidence in my protective capabilities, so there's no need to worry about the explosion here. Of course, as per the orders I've received, I will take care of you until the very end. Also, please call me Eli-chan, thank you." The Mechanical Dragon Girl Elizabeth II said calmly. She was a Dragon Girl -shaped robot created by the scientific research results of the Steam King Bell, who had mastered the manufacturing technology of invincible steel. Perhaps she really could have withstood the explosion just now.

"So you never intended to protect me, right? Aren't there any rules like the Three Laws of Robotics?" Shirou asked, looking at the remarkably calm Elizabeth II.

"That's a statement arbitrarily set by humans. I am a robot, entitled to the right to equal dialogue, and I have no obligation to abide by any rules that only benefit humans," Elizabeth II said calmly.

Because his argument was so well-founded, Shirou didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

With a creak.

The automatic door to the infirmary opened horizontally.

Two bandaged, one-horned girls walked in, carrying Babbage's head.

"Shirou ~! We've come to play with you. It's so cool inside~!" Fran, with his bun hair, raised his hand energetically.

"No, Fran, this is not the time to play around. To uphold justice, we must protect this boy. It seems that moving the place is the only way."

"Oh~! So Shirou, we've come to pick you up so we can escape together~!" Fran, with his bun hairstyle, said with a smile.

"Gah!" Fran, Class B, looked towards Shirou. Her long bangs covered her eyes, but she still nodded heavily.

"Thank you, Lan-chan." Shirou then turned to the mechanical nurse, Dragon Girl, and asked, "Eli-chan, what do you think of this operation?"

"I...I think we should leave here." When she noticed what Fran was holding, Eli-chan stiffened and said dryly.

"This was Akechi choice," Babbage, whose only remaining part was his helmet, glowing red, said in a magnetic voice.

At this moment, Galactic Emperor Gil, with a huge, golden railgun floating behind him, was aimed at the ground. If he waved his hand, the entire area would be instantly blasted to pieces by the railgun.

And he had several more of these powerful golden warships in his arsenal.

The arrogant Galactic Emperor Gil looked down at the remaining Servant on the ground, completely disregarding them.

However, when he turned his head, his expression changed. He looked at the blonde girl holding the Nameless Victory Sword, then at the girl with light-colored hair, gazing at the two faces he liked. He rested his chin on his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

Galactic Emperor Gil looked over and slowly said, "A-chan, actually I'm your father!"

"Damn it!" Artoria and Alter: Mysterious Heroine X shouted in unison, one wielding a blue lightsaber and the other a red lightsaber, and simultaneously swung their weapons at the man in golden armor.

These movements were executed in one fluid motion, all happening in an instant, as if the sword would have been slashed out even if the opponent hadn't spoken.

Chapter 417 is another world

Artoria is currently wielding the Nameless Victory Sword, a precious sword forged from the stars. It can cut through steel and grant its wielder eternal youth. As a combined version that has received the power of other clones, she is undoubtedly the strongest among the Artoria species. And as a Saber killer, she will become stronger as those Sabers grow stronger.

A-chan uses a Force sword covered with a layer of red energy. The Force gathers energy into the crystal inside the hilt, and then releases highly concentrated plasma energy. This plasma energy is bound within the magnetic field set in the hilt, forming the shape of the sword.

The Force Sword is the ultimate manifestation of the Force's strongest energy concentrated at a single point. Once it comes into contact with other matter, the magnetic field will pass through it with extremely high temperature, cutting it off.

Theoretically speaking, apart from another Force sword also made of plasma, the atomic sword can cut through anything.

Countless warriors have had their bodies pierced by these lightsabers, their legs severed, and their arms cut off, including Jedi and Sith warriors from various generations.

The Force Sword is a deadly weapon; while it brings immense power, it also corrupts each user, leading them to the Dark Side.

As the future emperor of the universe and the last dark knight nurtured by the Dark Round Table, A-chan gripped her red lightsaber tightly. At this moment, the energy of the Dark Side erupted, greatly increasing its destructive power, and she slashed without hesitation at her rival, the Galactic Emperor Gil.

But at this moment, the Galactic Emperor Gil opened his arms, allowing the two girls to swing their sharp blades and slash at him.

The Nameless Victory Sword, emitting golden light, and the red lightsaber both slashed at the Galactic Emperor Gil. The blades collided with the golden armor, sparks flying, and the blades slashed against the armor with a piercing, sharp sound.

"What!? It can't be cut through?" Artoria exclaimed in surprise. She pulled A-chan along and quickly retreated, putting distance between themselves and the enemy.

"Young man, you're so impetuous, but I forgive you. Quickly lay down your weapons and submit to my command. I will teach you the true use of the Dark Side of the Force." Galactic Emperor Gil spread his arms, his red eyes looking down at A-chan with a smile.

It was his behind-the-scenes investment in the Dark Knights and his covert obstruction of the Galactic Police's investigation that gave Agravain of the Dark Round Table time to nurture A-chan into a talent.

However, the Dark Knights inside never genuinely wanted to cooperate with him from the start. Agravain deceived him by concealing his whereabouts at the last moment; otherwise, he would have caught the girl before A-chan escaped. Now, the Dark Round Table is practically defunct, with only the girl remaining.

The Galactic Emperor Gil is ambitious and certainly doesn't want to create rivals for cosmic dominance, but he does want some capable subordinates, which is why he secretly supports the Dark Knights. So, in a sense, without Gil, A-chan wouldn't have achieved what she has today.

"No!" A-chan resolutely denied, too lazy to even explain.

"Hahaha, I don't dislike your unique personality. Well then, let me show you my strength! Girl, your understanding of the dark forces is far from sufficient. Take this! Force Lightning!!!" Galactic Emperor Gil laughed, suddenly raising his hands and unleashing purple lightning that flew towards Artoria.

A-chan was prepared and alertly raised her arms, also unleashing red lightning.

Purple and red lightning collided in the air, creating a crackling sound, before disappearing.

"Drink it!!! How's that move!!!"

Just then, Artoria instantly appeared in front of Gil, drew another black sword, and activated her Noble Phantasm. The two swords, one black and one white, slashed down at the Galactic Emperor, unleashing an unprecedented combo.

This time, the golden armor failed to protect Gil. Although he wasn't seriously injured, his armor was riddled with holes and was unusable after being slashed by Artoria.

"Enough! Enough! Since you refuse to repent, then go to hell and repent! Repent for your disrespect towards me! Repent for how foolish you are!" Galactic Emperor Gil removed his tattered armor and pulled out a red, spiral-shaped weapon that resembled a sword but was not sharpened, with a raised button on the hilt.

When Galactic Emperor Gil raises this spiral weapon.

The golden spaceship mothership in the sky reacted. The front of the ship triggered some mechanism and deformed, unfolding to the left and right like a door. From the central opening, a spiral-shaped red spire-like turret gradually emerged. This peculiar cannon was several times larger than the largest golden cannon on the mothership.

Artoria and A-chan's ahoge (cowlicks) stood up, their inherited Instinct making them sense some kind of deadly danger.

At this moment, the purple-haired girl, taking advantage of the absence of anyone, silently approached Shirou. When the spiral turret appeared, BB-chan sensed danger and said to Shirou, "Let's hurry, senpai, otherwise we might get caught up in the battle of these monstrous guys here."

At this moment, lightning flashed at the muzzle of the space mothership's cannons, and the red spires spun rapidly, gathering and converging with immense energy towards the muzzle.

This is the Galactic Cannon, a piece of advanced technology created by Galactic Emperor Gil to consolidate his rule. It is also one of the most destructive weapons in the universe. When it strikes, its power is so great that it can split the heavens and the earth, tear through space, and even destroy a small planet.

It can launch missiles equipped with particle-splitting warheads, and these missiles can use a hyperspace engine to travel from the galactic core to the frontier regions. No matter where you hide, you will be found, and ordinary defensive measures are completely meaningless.

When he presses the mechanism on the spiral sword in his hand, the energy cannon inside the Galactic Cannon will immediately fire. What makes those cannonballs terrifying is not only that they automatically attack the selected planet and activate defenses after leaving hyperspace. The weapons used include automatic laser turrets to deal with interceptors, and advanced armor and shields capable of defending against pressurized lasers and ion cannons.

At that moment, in the room where Shirou was, Shirou put on the coat of the Galactic Police Branch and made a decision in his mind.

"Senpai! Which way are you going?" BB-chan asked, looking at Shirou was running in the opposite direction.

"BB, you take Fran and the others and hide first. I'm going to pick up Artoria." Shirou said as he ran.

"Senior... he's really handsome, but also a bit of a dummy." The purple-haired girl who was left behind stared at the boy's retreating figure and whispered.

At this moment, Gil, the Galactic Emperor who controlled everything, floated into the air, coldly gazing at Artoria and A-chan below, and said, "I'll give you one last chance. Submit to me now, and I'll take you both as my concubines!"

"Stop dreaming!" Artoria said, raising the Nameless Victory Sword high.

"I just can't stand it physically. It's like salty konpeito (Japanese candy). I don't even want to look at it," A-chan said mercilessly.

"Is that so... In that case, then die!" The Galactic Emperor said, about to press the button.

"Wait!!!" Shirou shouted.

"King of Heroes... no, Galactic Emperor Gil, stop your atrocities." Shirou thought to himself that he absolutely could not let him notice him, otherwise, who knows what this reckless and cruel king might do to him.
