The Holy Sword Is Returned

"My King"

Agravain on one knee.

"Where is the Lion King?" Saber didn't say much more.

Upon hearing this, Agravain made way for him.

That is the road leading to the top of the holy city, where the goddess Golenmiyad resides.

"Your Majesty, even you cannot succeed."

"Once the Holy Lance is started, it can never be stopped."

"Who are you? I am the Lion King, the King of the Storm, and the Lord of the End."

"Answer me, why do you want to visit the End of the World?"

The goddess Golenmiyad looked calmly at the crowd that had reached the top.

"My name is Artoria, the legitimate daughter of Uther Pendragon, and the King of Britain," Saber introduced herself.

"Artoria..."

The Lion King pronounced the name with curiosity.

"Familiar, but I can't quite place it."

"Tell us your purpose, why you want to visit the End of the World."

"We came to stop you, to restore humanity, and to reclaim the future," Fujimaru Ritsuka shouted.

"Human reason has been burned down; perhaps only the End of the World can offer salvation."

"God cannot exist without humanity, and I love you all deeply."

"Therefore, I cannot bear to lose you."

"I have decided to grant you eternity, to collect the pure souls suitable for posterity, and to solidify them into a record for future generations."

"Where did I go wrong by doing this?"

The Lion King slowly walked towards the crowd.

"Your mistake was that you didn't try to fight the Magus King for humanity."

"You only believe that humanity has been destroyed. Since you love humanity so much, why don't you join Chaldea in fighting against the Magus King? Goddess Golenmiyad."

A calm voice rang out.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ling Yuan standing high in the air on Belleronus's back.

Chapter 459 The Holy Sword Returns

The Lion King gave Ling Yuan a deep look.

Looking at everyone, he slowly spoke, "I have the same perspective as the Magus King, and I understand his thinking and his ultimate goal."

"The first six Holy Grails were merely games among the descendants of the Magus King; only the seventh Holy Grail was sent to the past through the Magus King's own hands."

"They actually said it was just a joke..." Fujimaru Ritsuka said in disbelief.

Mash was also shocked.

The Lion King strode toward the crowd. "Solomon, the King of Magic, the temple he dwells in does not exist in the right time."

"Only the Seventh Holy Grail is the first step to complete the Humanity Incineration, destroying the very foundation upon which humanity is built."

"Not in the right time... You mean there's a seventh singularity in a time even more distant than King Solomon's?!" Romani exclaimed in surprise after pondering the Lion King's words.

The Lion King remained expressionless, glanced at Saber and the round table behind her, and slowly said, "The Magus King should have told you that if you could obtain the seventh Holy Grail, he would acknowledge you as a threat."

"That doesn't mean we'll get the seven Holy Grails, but rather that the Humanity Incineration will continue as long as that place isn't restored."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "..."

"The remaining Holy Grail, in its final singularity, contains 'evil' that you cannot even imagine."

"That is a great demon far surpassing the Magus King, the original sin of mankind."

"The original 'evil'..." Romani murmured.

As a former Grand Heroic Spirit, he naturally knew what humanity's original evil was.

I was shocked by this.

"Even I don't have the power to contend with it. Chaldea alone cannot stop the primordial evil."

"So you've come to the fallacy of turning humans into specimens?" Diarmuid asked.

The Lion King glanced at him gently. "Freezing and preserving a life that has burned out, stopping it at a point where it will not depreciate—that is how to protect life, that is my ultimate conclusion on protecting humanity."

"That's not how it is!"

At that moment, a voice interrupted the Lion King.

"Oh?"

The Lion King turned his head and saw Mash, who was holding the Shield of Snowflakes, loudly denying it.

"You're wrong. I don't agree with the kind of happiness you're talking about!"

"If I had to explain why, it's because I've witnessed the majority of lives lost in this era!"

"Some people lost their lives trying to save children, and now they are grieving for it!"

Even so, she said she would keep living, hold her head high, and that as long as she was alive, her mother's life would continue!

"The end is not meaningless; life continues, it is not temporary!"

"No matter when, no matter how much we lose, we will always be connected!"

The Lion King: "..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "..."

Everyone: "..."

"Ah, the young lady has already said all that, we can't just stand by and watch." Iskandar, who had been watching the show, sighed heavily.

"Yes, for my lord, I will stop you no matter what!" Diarmuid said solemnly.

If this moment in time is disrupted, it means he won't be able to meet Kischur Zelretch.

In that case, how can his regret be made up for?

This is a matter concerning his honor and loyalty!

"Lion King, your intentions were good, but you chose the most extreme path," Saber said calmly.

"It seems that reasoning with them is not working."

The Lion King remained unmoved, as if he had expected this all along.

At this moment, the Tower of the End is nearing completion.

She reached out her hand, and a golden light appeared, revealing a long golden spear wrapped in spirals.

Pointing the Holy Lance at the crowd, the Lion King calmly declared, "I am the King of Storms, who drank the Tides of the Earth from the mortal realm. I am the End of the World!"

Everyone then revealed their Noble Phantasm.

"This is your end."

"The storm of my holy lance. The truth revealed after peeling away the surface of the world."

"This is the anchor of the storm that tears the sky apart and connects the earth—"

"Radiance emanating from the ends of the earth!"

"Rhongomyniad! (The Spear That Shines to the End)"

Buzz~

A golden holy lance, woven from metal, fell from the sky and hurtled towards the crowd!

"Never-ending gale, in the name of the king I command you, unleash the power bestowed by the great lake spirit! I will call upon your name in the glory of a knight—"

"Flash away, Ex-calibur—!!"

Saber raised her holy sword high, and a golden torrent slashed down heavily towards the sky!

"Appear, Lord Camelot, our homeland that heals all wounds and all resentment! (The Ideal City of the Distant Past)"

Mash suddenly thrust her Shield of Snowflakes upwards.

The next second, the blue White City Camelot appeared, enveloping everyone and forming a defensive barrier.

Mordred unleashed the King's Sword in her hand, and crimson lightning flashed.

Looking at the holy spear falling from above, he roared in fury, "This is the evil sword that destroyed my father!"

"Clearent blood arthur! (Rebellion Against My Glorious Father King!)"

Saber: "..."

Iskandar: "..."

The Chaldea members. "..."

The Knights of the Round Table: "..."

Child, how can you be so unruly in front of your own mother?

"Saber, you're quite an interesting kid," Diarmuid teased.

After saying that, he threw out his two Noble Phantasm.

Saber: "..."

If it weren't for Mordred's efforts, I would have beaten him up long ago.

"Everyone's using Noble Phantasm, so I'll use Noble Phantasm too."

In mid-air, Ling Yuan on Belleronus murmured something and took ea out of the golden King's Treasure.

"But the Lion King was probably referring to Temah, right?"

"Just kidding, Temah so cute, how could she destroy humanity? Just coax her a little and she'll be fine."

With a smile, Ling Yuan raised the EA in his hand, his expression returning to normal, and began to speak in the Liberation Language.

"Recount the Beginning— "

Buzz~

The moment ea appeared, it attracted the Lion King's attention.

Her expression changed as she looked at the ea in Ling Yuan's hand.

However, with the Holy Lance restrained, she was powerless to do anything about it.

"At the beginning of creation, nothingness also offered its congratulations."

Ling Yuan slowly raised ea and aimed it at the holy spear above.

"Tear the world apart with my Sword of Separation"

"Around the mortar of stars, the celestial hell is the end of the eve of creation!"

"Enuma elish! (The Star of Expulsion and Chasm Creation)"

As Ling Yuan finished speaking, a crimson gale tore through space, transforming into a merciless tornado that hurtled towards the holy spear above.

"!"

Before the Lion King's shocked eyes, her holy lance was being dismantled bit by bit.

"What kind of Noble Phantasm is this? It's even dismantling the Holy Lance?"

Romani was stunned as he watched the Holy Lance's magic power on the panel steadily decline.

It's already quite remarkable that the holy spear thrown by the Lion King, who has already become completely deified, can withstand it; it's even starting to crumble, which is rather unbelievable.

"My king..." Bedivere looked at the Lion King and was about to walk over.

But her hand was grabbed directly.
