The Lord turned his head toward him. "Still searching for ways to defeat me, Fujimaru Shirou?" he said. "I've noticed that humans, UOs, even that thing that prayed to me—they all insist on pointless actions. If it hadn't brought that vanguard here, none of this would have happened, and you woul...

IBHJ 1082

Ever since summoning the Enlightened One, Shirou's luck had never been good. This time was no different, but he was used to it by now.

He was about to charge forward when the ground suddenly heaved beneath him. The earth buckled and split with a deafening crack, forcing him to leap sideways...

IBHJ 1081

The Lord of Salvation might be invincible, but that eye was not. If he could destroy it, he could win!

He dodged another erasure of possibilities, then performed a graceful aerial flip, easily avoiding the deadly mud blades that sliced in from all directions. He continued to run, searching ...

IBHJ 1080

Shirou raised his demonic sword and brought it down in a powerful arc. A crimson blade beam, strong enough to tear the sky apart, shot towards the Lord of Salvation.

The mud figure didn't move. He faced the earth-splitting attack with chilling calm. There was no explosion, no clash of energ...

IBHJ 1079

Seizing the opportunity, his eyes flashed with prismatic light. A long song echoed through space as a shield like a cluster of stars formed around him. He transformed into a comet and plunged into the churning black mud.

"Keep it contained!" Manaka shouted, transforming into her black vorte...

IBHJ 1078

Everything was going exactly as he had planned—except for being chosen as the first vessel that the black tree chased.

He'd told Manaka that [Endless Waves, Infinite Future] was his trump card. He was staking everything on this ultimate purification Noble Phantasm. It was the only thing t...

IBHJ 1077

Arcueid could hardly imagine how, in that distant era, this monster's true form—the Lord of Salvation—had been sealed. She was fortunate, unlike her siblings, to have never faced him and experienced that despair.

At this time, the black tree swayed, its massive form casting waves of sha...

IBHJ 1076

Shirou turned to face the black tree. "ORT, Gaia—whatever you want to call it. It's time we woke them up."

Heaven's Corpse's brow furrowed. "But Emperor Conquest Guild still has most of ORT's fragments..."

"Don't worry about that," Arcueid said. "That ATM had two fragments that were...

IBHJ 1075

Manaka gritted her teeth. "Fujimaru Shirou! Do you have to win every argument with me?"

Arcueid watched the two of them, feeling lost. Manaka was the enemy, wasn't she? But fighting alone seemed like suicide. Shirou had to understand that, so why was he acting like this?

Manaka glance...

IBHJ 1074

Manaka's reaction was fast, her brutal survival instinct overriding any hesitation. She projected a black hand, shaping it into a sharp blade, and in one savage motion, sliced through her own arm just above where the tentacle had entered. Her severed limb dropped to the ground with a wet thud, da...

IBHJ 1073

Until she had gathered all seven Beasts, Manaka wanted to avoid provoking those old solar system rogues who were quick to unite at the slightest hint of injustice. Arcueid's willingness to surrender the core was the ideal outcome.

As Manaka rushed towards the core, she suddenly stopped, a l...

IBHJ 1072

"Oww..." Kiara covered her head and retreated.

Mordred looked up at the moon with a scowl on her face. That battlefield was beyond the limits of even Heroic Spirits. Even gods couldn't approach it.

If something happened to the old man...

She gripped the Grail tightly, u...

IBHJ 1071

Koyanskaya smiled. "Master, after everything we've been through, there's no need for such formality. We have a contract, after all." she added, her eyes gleaming, "Besides... when the universe itself is trying to kill you, survival becomes a compelling motivation."

"You're really different ...

IBHJ 1070

"Uranus..."

The dragon loomed over the wreckage of the starship, its presence making everyone freeze in place.

"It's too early." Manaka's shoulders tensed as she looked up at the massive creature. Her calculations had shown she'd have more time—enough to complete her mission and lea...

IBHJ 1069

Velber's AI smiled at the thought. When Umbral Star arrived, everything would be consumed: Beasts, UOs, the Council, Chaldea, Grand Servants, Manaka, even Eternal Emperor. All would become fuel for Umbral Star, transformed into its new vanguard.

Shirou watched the AI's starship race toward ...

IBHJ 1068

"Let me be honest with you," Manaka began, "Except for you arriving at the Moon a few steps ahead of schedule, everything else was within my calculations, including Uranus's actions. After all, I was the one who used that Gandhara girl as a sacrifice to manifest Uranus."

She then sneered at...

IBHJ 1067

"How else would you come out?" Ayaka laughed. No wonder Fujimaru likes to trick people, she thought. It really does work.

"You—you—you—" Altera sputtered, unable to form a coherent sentence. She angrily shook Ayaka's hand away and turned to leave.

Suddenly...

IBHJ 1066

"Altera!" Her voice rang out into the emptiness, but no answer came.

She looked everywhere, her eyes searching through the endless white nothing around her. But there wasn't a single thing to see - just blank whiteness stretching on forever.

"Altera, where are you?" Her voice grew sma...

IBHJ 1065

Arcueid floated in mid-air, using the core and her authority to stabilize the moon. But it was a struggle. Neither Eternal Emperor nor Manaka were ordinary beings; the shock waves from their clash alone were almost too much to bear.

She now understood why her siblings were so wary of the Lo...

IBHJ 1064

"Archimedes?" Shirou frowned. He shook his head. "No, that's Velber's main body!"

Shirou realized the truth. This wasn't the fragment Archimedes piloted. This was the source, the original vessel shot down by the UOs millennia ago—Velber 02!

He remembered the history. Fourteen thousa...

IBHJ 1063

Just as he spoke, a deafening explosion roared from outside, shaking the entire chamber violently.

"Shirou, there's a powerful energy surge outside. Heaven's Corpse and Venus are fighting!" Arcueid shouted over the rumbling.

He nodded, but his eyes remained fixed on Manaka. He didn't ...

IBHJ 1062

Ayaka, even more bewildered, could only stare. "????"

What in the world was going on?

Fortunately, even though Altera was just a fragment of the White Titan, she still recognized Ayaka. With Ayaka mediating, the White Titan finally calmed down, releasing her grip on the giant's legs a...

IBHJ 1061

"Lady Sephyr, we mean you no harm! This is all a misunderstanding!"

White Titan's expression remained severe as she looked at the unarmed Shirou. "A misunderstanding?"

Arcueid's attack had angered her, even though it hadn't caused any real damage. Being attacked like that would make a...

IBHJ 1060

The chamber holding the White Titan had been exiled to the deepest recesses of the Moon Cell system. Bound by multiple restraints, it drifted in isolation. Reaching it without the Moon Cell's command was nearly impossible.

But Arcueid now controlled the Moon Cell's core. Though she couldn't...

IBHJ 1059

"Think you could take us there?"

"Of course!" she beamed at him like he'd just suggested a fun outing. "Just give me a sec to check!"

"Thanks, Arcueid."

Her expression shifted to genuine confusion. "Why are you thanking me? That's what friends are for, right?"

Watching her...

IBHJ 1058

The UOs had moved Mooncell to this location because of the wager. With White Titan Altera's true form present on Mooncell, Archimedes was bound to appear.

"Graaauuugh! Graaauuugh! Graaauuugh!"

Saturn's monsters roared, their cries echoing as they charged towards Velber 02. These creat...

IBHJ 1057

This was Connection Point. This was incomplete timeline. It was so similar to reality, yet fundamentally different.

"Look—!" Ayaka suddenly exclaimed, pointing towards the moon.

He followed her gaze and saw the moon's surface swarming with countless asteroids, like an asteroid belt....

IBHJ 1056

After leaving the maddened Archbishop with Enos, Shirou led everyone back to Sanctuary. He spent the next few hours making careful preparations, then set off with Heaven's Corpse, Ayaka, and Daji towards Pluto's gate.

Mordred and Artoria had been ready to join them, but the potential danger...

IBHJ 1055

Heaven's Corpse's face paled. She took a step back. "It's UO's countdown."

"UO's countdown?"

She nodded grimly. "The wager between Gaia and UO has a five-year time limit. If Ort's fragments are gathered and Gaia is revived within five years, the UOs lose... But the most crucial fragm...

IBHJ 1054

"For our own sake, why not?" Archbishop Moirae glared at her. "You and your followers are hypocrites. You use false pretenses to cover up the true nature of life. You use fake benevolence to restrict people's thoughts, and that is why people have become so weak."

He continued, his voice ris...
