The Battle at the End of the World

Their common enemy came together and traveled together.

At this moment, Shirou and Anastasia arrived at the Tower to the Sky and finally met the First Emperor, the instigator of everything.

Faced with the domineering emperor's invitation, Shirou instead laughed and said, "Indeed... it's an enticing offer..."

"But I refuse!!!"

Shirou raised one hand and activated his Inherent Domain!

The small world of Unlimited Blade Works instantly pulled everyone on the platform into his world of iron forging. In this world Shirou's Unlimited Blade Works appeared even more broken, and the wasteland, ravaged by artillery fire, had turned into a black, scorched wasteland.

Only the Noble Phantasm stuck there still emitted a faint glow, flying up from the ground and piercing the surrounding armed forces. Hundreds of soldiers were immediately rendered incapable of fighting and fell to the ground.

The people around them immediately felt much less stressed!

"Everyone! Pick up your weapons and fight back!" Shirou shouted to the rebels, opening his hand and waving it. The Noble Phantasm, suitable for the occasion, automatically flew towards the contestants.

"Well done, Shirou!" Tohsaka caught the flying Jewel Sword and shouted excitedly, rubbing his hands together.

"Useless! Even if you gain the advantage, how long can your Inherent Domain last?!" Qin Liangyu knocked away the Noble Phantasm that the rebel had just picked up with a single spear thrust, then swung the spear shaft, sending it flying and crashing into another rebel member.

"As long as my Noble Phantasm doesn't stop, you will eventually lose!" King Lanling shouted loudly at Shirou.

"Heh, didn't you guys notice? The reinforcement of troops has slowed down," Shirou said with a mocking laugh.

"What?" Qin Liangyu and King Lanling turned around to look.

At this moment, outside the steel gate, only a few reinforcements remained, not even enough to constitute a small squad.

The reinforcements from underground couldn't arrive; they had all had their life essence drained by Elizabeth, who had absorbed the energy left behind by the Vampire King, rendering them unable to move.

Previously, Ramesses II defeated Duke Vlad III, and Vlad the Impaler, as Servant, left this world, but the power of the Vampire King's blood remained. Elizabeth, who had been secretly lurking from the beginning, absorbed it.

Now that the Tower to the Sky has no Servant to protect it, all of humanity has become its food.

Of course, in her pursuit of beauty and elegance, she is not as crazy and deranged as the Grand Duke. Instead, she transforms into a silver-haired, red-eyed beauty who moves at a speed that is as fast as teleportation. With just a graceful, light touch, someone falls to the ground.

Without drawing blood, these people's vital essence was drained to near its limit, rendering them unable to move and causing them to fall into a deep sleep.

In the blink of an eye, she had taken care of a squad of armed soldiers. She then strolled down the stairs, leaving all the passing reinforcements behind.

Through the steel gates, Earl Elizabeth, her feet stained with blood, stepped through the doorway in high heels, and the next moment she appeared behind King Lanling.

Holding a Greek dagger adorned with a coiled lightning bolt, he plunged it into King Lanling's back!

"Lan!" Qin Liangyu cried out in alarm, rushing towards the young general.

A flash of cold light!

Qin Liangyu raised her white-handled spear to block the dagger.

"Wait a minute, you're not allowed to pass here," Jing Ke said, blocking Qin Liangyu's way.

"Ugh..." Blood flowed from King Lanling's mouth, and his Noble Phantasm was interrupted.

Camilla stabbed at him with the 'Symbol of Breaking the Laws of All Things' Projection by Shirou. His contract with this world was also affected, and he temporarily lost the ability to fight!

"White-haired young man, let's keep our promise to this extent. After all, I'm not interested in killing men." Camilla sat cross-legged on a fleshy chair made of fallen soldiers, holding a crimson rose formed from blood in her palm.

"Oh, thank you, ma'am," Shirou replied.

Camilla wasn't particularly interested in this world, nor did she intend to serve the country that had seized her property years ago.

"From now on, I will enjoy life freely until the world is destroyed." The alluring woman with long, silver, curly hair conjured a pair of red demonic wings, smashed through a wall, and flew off from the Tower to the Sky, gliding into the human city and disappearing from sight.

"It's over! Qin Shi Huang!!!"

The Reality Marble of Unlimited Blade Works Inherent Domain hasn't been dispelled yet! Shirou's body is burning hot, like wrought iron glowing red, but his strongest Grand Magecraft is still running!

Despite the risk of burning his brain, he rushed towards the First Emperor, gripping the golden-glowing holy sword with its blue hilt, and thrust it towards the First Emperor's heart.

"Hmph!" Mercury, acting as a protective shield, stood in front of the First Emperor.

"Anna!" Shirou shouted.

"Shirou!" Anastasia released a chilling aura, freezing the mercury around the First Emperor.

The holy sword broke through the frozen mercury and pierced towards the First Emperor's heart.

At the last moment, the wounded King Lanling rushed forward, pushed the First Emperor aside, and used his body to shield him from Shirou's fatal blow!

Like a fearless rebel, holding fast to his beliefs, the valiant King Lanling used his last strength to protect the emperor he had sworn allegiance to.

Chapter 481 The War of the End of the World

Faced with the sacrifice of King Lanling, the First Emperor's face darkened completely. He had been confident of victory; no matter what, the humans here could not possibly be his match. He had clearly given the people here the treatment they deserved and left them room to maintain their own civilization.

But no matter what, there will always be people who jump out and cause trouble again and again, challenging his limits of tolerance time and time again.

Regardless of whether they strive for it or not, they act solely based on their own desires, disregarding their one and only life, disregarding all laws, and acting recklessly.

"Hmm..." The First Emperor hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily:

"This is utterly outrageous! There's a limit to how much you can refuse to admit defeat! Do you prefer to follow your own desires and bring about your own destruction rather than live a righteous life?" the First Emperor said angrily, and as his body trembled with rage, the entire Tower to the Sky shook.

Qin Liangyu rushed over and said, "Your Majesty! Please calm your anger! We soldiers all volunteered to die for your will. King Lanling died a worthy death, and I request credit for him. But please, there are still hundreds of thousands of innocent people trapped in this tower!"

"Gao Qing has rendered meritorious service in protecting the emperor and should be rewarded! But these rebels must also be executed! You all stay here! The battle between us will be decided between me and them!" The First Emperor raised his arms, forcefully forming claws with his five fingers. Silver fluid appeared in the surrounding space, then transformed into hundreds of arc-shaped flying blades, seemingly about to cleave through all the space at the top.

The first to be affected was Shirou Emiya, who was standing closest to the First Emperor.

"Tsk, this is the only way it can go..." Shirou watched helplessly as the space was surrounded by silver blades, feeling as if he were being cut by knives all over his body. He made a desperate attack on the First Emperor, and now he had no magic power left.

"Senior! Watch out!" The long-haired woman rushed out from Shirou's shadow, using her body to shield the white-haired man from the flying blades of mercury.

"Sakura!" Shirou picked up the woman and jumped backward repeatedly, escaping the distance of the Mercury Blade.

"Sakura!!" Tohsaka and Luviagelita Edelfelt rushed over anxiously.

"Why?" Shirou hugged the woman, blood flowing uncontrollably from her back, and asked, his body trembling.

"Senpai... are you alright?" Sakura's face turned deathly pale, only her lips stood out vividly from the blood she had coughed up. She lay down Shirou.

"I don't know either, I just... felt that I had to do it." At this moment, Sakura revealed her signature smile, a smile that was both reserved and a little shy.

She was stunned the moment she saw Shirou Emiya unleash his Inherent Domain. Having received orthodox education in the world of Magecraft in this life, she clearly understood that it was a grand Magecraft generated from the Inner World.

Why has the senior's Inner World become so dark and filled with despair, and why is her heart in such pain?

Although she couldn't understand it, the woman felt that she had to save him from this world no matter what.

"Sakura! It's alright! I will definitely save you!" Shirou gritted his teeth, Projection a red cloth to bandage the girl's wounds, using healing Magecraft.

"Your Majesty! Please reconsider!" Qin Liangyu stepped forward and once again advised the First Emperor.

"Qin Qing, step back! My mind is made up! Everyone belonging to the Tower to the Sky must retreat to the safe zone! Everyone else must be punished!!!" the First Emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Qin Liangyu had no choice but to obey the order and led the entire army to retreat towards the steel gate.

After unleashing another silver light blade, but this was only the beginning, the Tower to the Sky began to sway more violently.

"Whoa! What's going on?"

"Whoa whoa whoa!!!" People felt their feet slip and were about to be thrown off balance, so they quickly grabbed whatever was around them.

Rumble, rumble!!! The Tower to the Sky began to shake violently. The mechanisms around the giant tower kept changing shape and connecting together to form huge components that were separated from the tower. First came the legs, then the torso, then the arms, and finally the top of the tower formed the head.

The colossal Tower to the Sky was dismantled into a semi-circular ring structure, with more than half of its components disassembled and reassembled into the giant we see today.

The inhabitants of the Tower to the Sky suddenly discovered that a balcony had appeared on one side of their building, no longer an enclosed space, and they could now see the scenery outside. However, when they saw the golden Tower to the Sky, they were so frightened that they scrambled back inside.

"Everyone, don't panic! The golden man is a divine weapon controlled by the tower's master, a guardian deity protecting everyone. Now, return to your rooms for emergency evacuation!" Qin Liangyu, who was left inside the tower, had no choice but to announce this to everyone via the loudspeaker.

Meanwhile, Shirou and the others who rebelled against the First Emperor were left on the protruding platform of the Tower to the Sky, where they were staring at each other from the hundreds-of-meters-tall golden giant.

With a snap, the enormous golden figure came to life. First, it grew another arm, which it placed on the arm that had been charred black by Jing Ke, and detached it. Standing there was a one-armed golden giant hundreds of meters tall.

"Aren't you aware yet? Even if you kill me, the immortal being!" The majestic voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth through the loudspeaker. The First Emperor said, "To me, it's nothing more than changing bodies! Then come and try! The final test! If you can defeat this golden man of mine, then you will have won!"

The golden giant stretched out its enormous hand to slam onto the platform.

"Jump!" Shirou shouted to the people around him.

"Jump? Where do you want us to jump to?" the crowd retorted.

"Remember this! If anything happens to Sakura, I'll never forgive you!"

"Me too!" Rin Tohsaka and Luviagelita Edelfelt glared at Shirou and jumped down first!

"Sakura, don't worry, I'll definitely get you out of here." Shirou picked up the girl and said softly.

"Gordolf!!! Show me your trump card!" Shirou grabbed the blond fat man who was slumped on the ground and threw him into the air above the golden man's head.

"Wow!!! I am incredibly honored by His Your Majesty First Emperor's appreciation, but there's one thing I'd like to correct!" Gordolf shouted loudly, "Even androids with finite lifespans have the right to fight to live!!! And! Help me! Brother Afu, wow!!! Please come and save me!"

A cry, even longer than an eagle's cry, resounded high above the golden statue!

A cute knight with pink braids, riding Hippogriff, broke the sound barrier and rushed in from the ceiling at an unstoppable speed, instantly appearing here.

"Yes, yes! Afu Express, mission accomplished!!!" After the Holy Great Holy Grail War, because his contract with Zieg, who had transformed into a black dragon, was still valid, Astolfo began traveling the world. Recently, he started a courier business in China.

"What impact can a mere Servant have here?" the First Emperor said calmly. Even though he had been injured, he maintained absolute confidence as the Son of Heaven.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" A huge roar came from the sky, and a cloud suddenly appeared on the top of the Tower to the Sky, instantly blocking out the light on the platform.

The black dragon flew down after Astolfo, catching the people falling from the sky on its back.

"Mr. Emiya! I've come as promised." A beautiful young man's voice came from the ferocious black dragon.

"Ah! Just in time, Zieg. Now we have a chance of winning. Thank you so much!" Shirou said to the black dragon at his feet.

"No, I will stop the guy who brought the Greater Holy Grail back to this world without permission, no matter what," said Zieg the Black Dragon.

"A top-tier demonic dragon? You're kidding me? Why would Phantasmal Beast of this caliber appear here?" Rin Tohsaka said in surprise as she touched the scales on the dragon's back.

"Well, it just means he owes me a small favor. But, Tohsaka... don't even think about stealing anything. If you're too rude, they might throw you off the cliff," Shirou said, looking at the woman.

"What... Even I wouldn't do something reckless in this situation! Although it is indeed a pity!" Tohsaka retorted angrily.

"It's time to understand everything, Anna. Are you ready?" Shirou said, looking at the silver-haired girl beside him.

"Yes!" Anastasia nodded. After all, she had come here with Shirou precisely for this moment. Although their journey together was simple, they had a very happy time. However, the girl also understood that it was indeed time for everything to come to an end.

"Shirou, thank you. I've been so happy to be with you all this time," Anna said, beaming with her brightest smile.

"Ah, me too," Shirou replied softly, looking at the girl.

The silver-haired girl, her long hair disheveled by the wind pressure, shouted loudly, offering herself as a sacrifice.

"Wake up, Ivan the Terrible!!!"

Just as a colossal monster like a dragon was summoned during the Middle East conflict, a similar monster has appeared in Russia. Logically, the failed experiment should have been disposed of.

However, the First Emperor's arrogance in disregarding the world meant he didn't take these monsters seriously at all. He repeatedly recruited people like Jing Ke and Shirou, who had rebelled against him, to demonstrate his magnanimity.

As an accessory, the elven girl summoned to this world vanished, turning into a luminous glow.

And the biggest and strongest monster in the Russian Empire has awakened.

Ivan the Terrible, along with countless mountain Demonic Beast of immeasurable size, emerged from the seabed, raised his ferocious giant head, roared towards the sky, and charged towards the golden giant.

The golden giant raised its only intact golden arm and grasped the mountain Demonic Beast's raised long fangs, trying to pin it down.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!!!" The mountain Demonic Beast, somewhat similar to a mammoth but dozens of times more ferocious and monstrous, roared and still managed to knock the golden man back repeatedly.

The mountain Demonic Beast charged with tremendous force, and the one-armed golden man was powerless to stop them.

The concrete and cement of the highway were not hard enough to support the weight of the enormous object. Section after section of the road cracked under the strain, and the huge stones were also squeezed and arched.

Wherever the golden giant and the mountain Demonic Beast passed, they crushed craters several meters deep, and the tall buildings that collided with them were instantly shattered.

The golden giant pressed down on the mountain Demonic Beast, its eyes transforming into something resembling Laozi's alchemy furnace, spinning and emitting scorching golden flames, trying to burn through the monster that stood in its way.

"Roar!!!" The black dragon Zieg above the sky joined the battle, spewing scorching dragon breath at the head of the golden giant. The flames in the golden giant's eyes were ignited by the dragon breath and exploded before they could be released.

With the help of Ivan the Terrible and Zieg, the golden giant was finally held back!!!

The golden light emanating from the giant surged once more, bursting forth with such dazzling brilliance that it blinded those around them, rendering them unable to see anything for a moment.

As the light dimmed, the golden giant had already grabbed the black Zieg by the neck with one hand and slammed it violently into the mountain Demonic Beast on the ground.

Before the golden giant, a large silver sphere floated up, changing shape until it became an ancient silver sword, which was gripped in the giant hand and thrust down towards the mountain Demonic Beast and black dragon below.

"Make way! Make way! Make way!"

The sun, a ball of intense light—no, a burning pyramid—fell from the sky directly onto the golden man.

"Hahahaha, the First Emperor of China! What a magnificent battle! This time, I am utterly defeated! But to defeat me, you must pay the price. Your immortal body will accompany me into the underworld!"
