Ea.
The Sword of Rupture.
The sword said to cleave the world, wielded by the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh.
Or rather, before it appeared, the very concept of a sword had yet to exist!
Gilgamesh had never expected that dealing with a modern mage would force him to draw Ea and fight.
But Gilgamesh had to admit that his opponent was indeed worthy of seeing Ea!
At that moment, the Ea Gilgamesh raised unleashed a storm that shrouded the heavens!
The miracle of creation would be brought forth once more!
Holding Ea, Gilgamesh soared into the sky amid golden radiance, as if ascending to a higher plane. Along the way, he donned his Golden Armor.
Sasuke Uchiha was indeed worthy of seeing Gilgamesh in his prime!
At some point, perhaps the moment Ea was drawn, all of Fuyuki had fallen into darkness!
Dark clouds veiled the heavens, and thunder rumbled incessantly through the skies.
Gilgamesh furrowed his brow slightly.
For even now, Sasuke, inside Susanoo, remained completely unmoved.
That only made Gilgamesh more excited!
High above, Gilgamesh raised Ea and spoke as if chatting with an old friend:
"Ea, I imagine you're furious to have been roused from your slumber?"
"But this time, your opponent certainly won't bore you."
The instant Gilgamesh finished speaking, Ea began spinning at high speed, as if released from its restraints. Its crimson patterns flashed around it like lightning!
The storm shredded the rain clouds that had gathered overhead. In an instant, torrential rain poured down over all of Einzbern Forest!
The howling storm had even begun uprooting the trees, unleashing a veritable natural disaster!
No one could survive this attack!
Gilgamesh fixed his gaze on Sasuke, who still wore an impassive expression, and shouted:
"Brat, can you withstand this attack?"
"Ea, sing to your heart's content!"
"Recount the primordial scene."
"At the dawn of creation, even the void offered its benediction."
"The one who cleaves the world."
"Is none other than my Sword of Rupture."
"The mill that revolves around the stars."
"The inferno above is the end of the eve before creation!"
"Steal death, steal rest!"
"Look up!"
"Enuma Elish!!!"
As Gilgamesh cried out in exhilaration, the entire world seemed to change!
For a moment, it was as if the sun had risen from the earth. Everything in sight was dyed white!!!
The thunderous lightning roared deafeningly.
The dazzling spectacle probably lasted only ten seconds, yet it felt dozens of times longer.
Before long, the white world and the roaring thunder vanished. As the superheated energy rapidly receded, a huge crater appeared, its inside and outside utterly unlike each other. Einzbern Forest had been obliterated, leaving only a few inches of trees for miles around.
As for the castle, it had long since been reduced to dust.
The night-dark sky still hadn't cleared, but everything around them was now plainly visible, with nothing left to obscure the view.
Looking at the scene before him, Gilgamesh gave a cold snort.
"To die beneath my Ea is the greatest blessing you could have received."
"Repent in hell."
Gilgamesh scanned his surroundings. He had been so caught up in the excitement that he'd lost track of the Holy Grail vessel.
But just as Gilgamesh was about to search for the vessel, the sky suddenly changed.
A blinding purple light tore through the clouds veiling the heavens, sending them scattering in every direction!
Gilgamesh stared up in disbelief.
"How can this be!?"
"Where did you come from!?"
Amid a tremendous pressure of wind, the clouds parted!
A god had descended!
That was none other than Sasuke's Complete Body Susanoo!
Compared with the Susanoo on the ground moments ago, Sasuke's Susanoo had undergone a complete transformation!
It wore armor, carried two enormous long swords at its waist, and had massive wings glowing with a dim purple light.
Its body was as tall as a mountain!
This was the Complete Body Susanoo.
Inside the Complete Body Susanoo, Sasuke watched Gilgamesh calmly, as though he hadn't been affected at all.
"Interesting."
"But that's all."
Hovering high in the sky, Sasuke glanced down at Gilgamesh without expression.
"Complete Body Susanoo."
"The true power of the Uchiha."
"Die. This will be your greatest glory."
Everything seemed so effortless.
As Susanoo crossed its arms and drew the two long blades at its waist, the entire sky trembled!
The resulting storm rushed straight toward Gilgamesh!
Gilgamesh furrowed his brow and swung Ea!
"Boom—"
A sonic boom rang out, and it seemed as if the entire sky had warped!
But the two were flying so high that the sonic boom sounded like thunder.
Susanoo pushed through the wind pressure and tearing space, flying straight toward Gilgamesh!
Its two enormous purple blades swung directly at him!
Facing a Susanoo that could even withstand Ea, Gilgamesh was completely out of options!
A simple, unadorned slash!
Yet it was like divine punishment!
Susanoo's enormous blade struck Gilgamesh's body with brutal force!
His golden, radiant armor shattered. The blade tore through his body, leaving only his upper half!
Ea slipped from his grasp and turned into a streak of golden light, vanishing into a golden ripple.
Gilgamesh's crimson blood sprayed through the air!
Gilgamesh could have chosen to retreat.
But as a king, how could he flee from defeat?
With death upon him, Gilgamesh showed no anger. Instead, a smile curved across his lips.
"That was a truly thrilling battle."
"Brat, I have to admit that you're stronger now!"
"When we meet again, I hope you'll still be able to challenge me in this form!"
Sasuke didn't answer Gilgamesh, and couldn't be bothered to make sense of his talk about meeting again.
With Susanoo's next slash, the remaining half of Gilgamesh's body was cut down as well.
Everything seemed to return to calm.
Sasuke controlled Susanoo and flew toward the distant forest, where a few inches of trees still remained.
After arriving above the destination, Sasuke dismissed Susanoo as it soared through the sky.
Earlier, to keep Kaoru Sakura and the others from being caught in the attack, Sasuke's Shadow Clone had activated Susanoo and brought them to this safe area.
But when Sasuke's real body landed there, the people in the area weren't just Kaoru Sakura, Illya, and the others.
There was another group as well.
And Sasuke knew them.
Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka.
Along with their Servants, Saber and Archer.
When Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan settled on Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka, he could clearly sense their awe.
