This time, it wasn't a concentrated, single-point penetrating attack like that of Artemis, the moon goddess.
It is a range-based type.
All-round.
Golden light burst forth from the surface of the sphere in all directions simultaneously.
The intense sunlight from the solar corona swept across the entire battlefield in a 360-degree arc.
The scale of this attack was unprecedented.
The golden light curtain expanded outwards in a spherical manner, at a speed approaching the speed of light.
Where the light curtain passed, all the remaining rock fragments in the debris belt were vaporized, evaporated, and completely erased from the material world the moment they came into contact with the light.
None of the Chaldea members survived.
They were all enveloped in the light of the corona.
"Here we go again!"
Mash raised her shield immediately.
Building a shield of hope— the Shield of Human Order!
Lord Chaldeas unfolds for the second time.
A golden-white semi-circular shield bloomed in front of Mash, enveloping her.
But this attack was not one-way.
The sunlight from the sun's corona surged in simultaneously from all directions.
The Shield of Human Order can only cover the front.
Behind, side, above, below.
Golden light scorched her body from every angle not covered by the shield.
"Well--!"
Mash gritted her teeth.
Arcueid was beside her.
The full force of Marble Phantasm is activated.
Particles in the atmosphere are forcibly reorganized into high-density material barriers that can insulate against light and heat.
A layer of white, ceramic-like material rapidly piled up around the two, forming a sealed spherical protective shield.
But under the radiation of the solar corona, these substances are evaporating at an alarming rate.
The outer layer of material began to melt the moment it came into contact with the golden light.
Arcueid frowned as he continuously replenished the material barrier by consuming the planet's life force.
On the other side.
Metatron sat on the jade throne.
All seventy-two wings folded inwards at the same time, completely enveloping himself and the jade throne.
Holy light emanated from every feather of the wings, forming a golden-white cocoon of light.
With the omnipotent blessing of the God of the Bible, Metatron is the only one among the Chaldea group who can completely protect himself.
The sunlight from the sun's corona struck the surface of the cocoon of holy light, only to be neutralized layer by layer.
It did not penetrate.
But she could sense that the situation of the other two people was deteriorating rapidly.
Mash's Shield of Human Order can only block attacks from the front.
Arcueid's material barrier is evaporating at a visible rate.
Metatron made the decision.
Spatial transfer.
Metatron, seated and all, appeared directly above Mash and Arcueid.
The seventy-two wings unfolded once more.
This time, instead of enveloping itself, it expanded outwards, forming a massive umbrella of holy light that covered all three people.
The sunlight was blocked by the wings of holy light.
Mash and Arcueid finally got a chance to catch their breath.
However, the cost is that Metatron has to endure the corona radiation from all directions all by himself.
Even with the protection of the God of the Bible, this sustained attack was constantly depleting her Holy Light reserves.
One minute.
Two minutes.
The output of Holy Light is slowly decreasing.
A burnt smell of feathers filled the interior of the holy light barrier.
Mash looked up at Metatron above her, her purple eyes filled with worry.
Metatron.
"Don't speak."
A cold voice came from above.
"Focus on restoring your reload status."
Three minutes.
The sunlight finally began to fade.
The golden light slowly receded from all directions, its intensity rapidly decreasing.
The true Machine God of Apollo, the sun god, slowly closed its spherical structure in the distant universe, and the body began to retreat into the crack in the void.
The light disappeared.
The surroundings returned to the darkness and silence of the universe.
Metatron's seventy-two wings slowly folded up.
Her expression remained unchanged.
But her wings already bore shocking scorch marks.
Nearly a third of the once-white feathers have turned charred black. Some feathers are completely carbonized and crumble into powder at the slightest touch.
The smell of burning lingered in the air for a long time.
"It hurts a little..."
Metatron said this in an extremely flat tone.
The viewing area in the distance.
Astolfo stared at Metatron's charred wings.
"Wow... even that archangel got burned like this..."
Ritsuka Fujimaru's expression was not good.
But now is not the time to worry.
Because Mash's Noble Phantasm cooldown has ended.
The Shield of Human Order was released once during the Coronavirus Radiance. That release successfully recharged her Holy Sword Loading.
In addition, the corona exposure lasted for a full three minutes.
Three minutes of energy storage time.
That's enough.
Mash's shield began to transform again.
Reorganization, extension, and stretching of metal structures.
A massive cannon barrel protrudes from the center of the shield.
Human Order Measurement Cannon. Second shot.
The cannon was aimed at Karna in the distance.
This time, Arcueid also extended her hand.
Her palm touched the side of the cannon.
Planetary-level life force surged from her body and flowed into the cannon barrel through her palm.
This is Arcueid's power as Earth's UO agent. She can mobilize the planet's life force to enhance herself or others.
Now she has given that power to Mash.
The Magic Circuits inside the cannon emitted a dazzling blue-white light as they were infused with planetary-level life force. The power output was rapidly increasing.
It far exceeds the energy storage level of the first launch.
Karna stood on the debris, looking at the cannon barrel charging in the distance.
His crimson eyes were as calm as a lake.
He knew.
This strike.
It's unstoppable.
He doesn't have a third Noble Phantasm capable of absorbing attacks of this level.
Moreover, this shot was more powerful than the first one.
But waiting to die is not something Karna would do.
Karna gripped the Vasavi Shakti.
The Composite Divine Core Spirit Origin within the body began operating at maximum power.
All three cores are overloaded simultaneously.
The limits of the Spirit Origin have been broken.
Energy surged from his body, and tricolored flames formed a huge sphere of light around him.
The temperature is rising.
It is even higher than the solar corona.
It is even higher than the core of the sun.
Karna was drawing every last drop of power from his body.
He poured all of it into the God of Slaughter Spear in his hand.
The Vasavi Shakti, its triple flames no longer three distinct colors.
The red, gold, and blue colors merged completely, transforming into an indescribable, blazing white light.
This strike will be Karna's greatest achievement ever.
Super Karna surpasses even the Lostbelt of India.
He surpasses Karna in any parallel universe.
The power of this attack could completely destroy a planet, even on a conceptual level.
Karna raised his spear.
The incandescent white sphere of light converged at the tip of the spear, forming an infinitesimally small point.
The smaller, the brighter, and the hotter.
"A testament to hope--"
Blue and white light condensed in the muzzle of the cannon.
Karna's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Burn completely!"
He thrust the gun forward.
"Oh Shemesh —submit to death!!!"
"--The Sword of Human Order!!!"
Incandescent white light spots and bluish-white light beams shot out at the same instant.
Two forces collided in the vast, empty universe.
There was no sound at the center of the collision.
The incandescent white light and the bluish-white light intertwined, strangled, and devoured each other at the point of collision.
The two forces are evenly matched.
Neither can prevail over the other.
Ten seconds.
Twenty seconds.
The center of the collision began to shift slightly.
Towards Karna.
The blue-white beam of light slowly advanced, inch by inch.
Karna sensed that his Spirit Origin was being subjected to a load exceeding its limits.
"I see."
He thought to himself.
"The meaning of a hero who gives alms is probably that he gives up everything he has."
"So, this time..."
"Let's just give up the last flame."
Thirty seconds.
The point of impact continued to move towards Karna.
The incandescent white light began to crack, and then shattered completely.
The blue-white beam of light passed through the shattered remains of the incandescent white light and continued forward.
Although the previous clashes had weakened the power of the blue-white beams of light by more than half.
But the remaining portion is still deadly enough.
The remaining blue-white beam of light struck Karna.
Lifetime Measurement initiated.
"Death" was imprinted on his Spirit Origin.
Karna's body began to collapse.
Start with the tip of the gun.
The Vasavi Shakti, shattered its gun barrel. Then came the right hand that held the gun. Then the right arm. Then the blue divine gem on the chest.
Karna's body entered an irreversible collapse.
His crimson eyes stared at the small figure holding a cannon in the distance.
He smiled slightly.
Then his body transformed into golden particles of light and dissipated into the universe.
--
Spectator area.
Amakusa Shirou Tokisada stood still, watching the spot where Karna had vanished.
His expression was calm, but his clenched fists betrayed him.
Then.
Beside him, golden light particles re-converged.
Karna reappeared.
Intact and undamaged.
The Raiment of the Three Gods disappeared. He reverted to his original Servant form with white hair, green eyes, and golden armor.
Because the concept of death does not exist in this dream world.
Those who are defeated do not truly die.
They will simply respawn in the spectator area and become spectators again.
Karna opened his eyes.
He glanced at his hands.
Complete. No crashes.
Then he looked in the direction of the battlefield.
"That attack was indeed stronger than mine."
"I lost."
