Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Trace on!

[ At this moment, blue lights, like shooting stars, continuously flew across the sky, gathering in the dark hole in the sky, and the black mud was still pouring down. ]

[ Gilgamesh watched the changes in the sky with interest, “To fulfill various wishes, that is to say, it can be summarized as bringing about change by surpassing the limits of life.” ]

[ “Why can’t wishes be fulfilled? It’s because for humans, there are inherent limits. Bound by your physical bodies, you can never be satisfied.” ]

[ Saying this, Gilgamesh spread his hands and laughed heartily with great pleasure, “Wahaha!” ]

[ After speaking, he sat down on the eaves without a care in the world. Several golden ripples appeared behind him, and various strangely shaped weapons, one after another, flew out from within, gleaming with cold light. ]

[ “Clang—!!” Emiya Shirou swung the weapon in his hand, appearing to block the attack with great difficulty. ]

[ …..]

“Is he tired of standing and decided to sit? I have to say, he’s got some guts, sitting down to fight Emiya Shirou!”

Everyone had witnessed the power of Giant Hero Emiya, who had fought Angelica, who possessed Gilgamesh’s power, to a standstill.

Although it might be a parallel world, wouldn’t Gilgamesh be too careless sitting down to face Emiya Shirou now?!

~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~

Iskandar touched the beard on his chin, pondering Gilgamesh,

“King of Heroes, you’re not standing on a lamppost now, but sitting on a rooftop?”

He remembered that every time he saw the King of Heroes, he appeared standing on a lamppost. He had even thought Gilgamesh had some strange preference for lampposts…

Gilgamesh glanced at him,

“If you also want to start a fight now, this king doesn’t mind giving you a ride.”

Compared to the other two kings who remained calm despite seeing the future corrupted Holy Grail, Artoria stared blankly at the screen.

“Wishes cannot be fulfilled?!… What’s going on?”

Has the Holy Grail been corrupted and can’t grant wishes? Is it filled with the defilement of human evil?!

…..

On the other side, Diarmuid looked at the King of Heroes using Noble Phantasms as if they were free arrows, and silently looked at his two brushes… Oh no, they were lances! It was truly a case of some suffering from drought while others had too much water.

As for the Holy Grail not being able to grant wishes?! What does that have to do with me? The wish for which I was summoned is simply to uphold my honor; that is enough. I don’t need the Holy Grail.

…..

[ At this moment, Gilgamesh spoke quite leisurely and mockingly, “A king has his pride. When I start dealing with mongrels seriously, it’s a defeat for this king. So be grateful.” ]

[ “This king won’t deal with you seriously.” ]

[ After hearing Gilgamesh’s words, Emiya Shirou below ignored them, or rather, it was better for him this way. So he raised his hand and cast his most practiced magic, “Trace!” ]

[ “On!” ]

[ Blue light emanated from Emiya Shirou’s hands, and then two weapons appeared. However, in the next second, the weapons in his hands were instantly shattered by two weapons flying out from the golden ripples. ]

[ The terrifying power made Emiya Shirou take two steps back. He placed his hands on his knees, panting heavily. ]

[ Then he raised his head again and looked at Gilgamesh above, saying firmly, “Trace on!” ]

[ Magic power emitting blue light gathered in Emiya Shirou’s hands, and then condensed into two weapons, one black and one white. ]

[ “What’s wrong? The quality seems to have decreased.” Gilgamesh chuckled as he looked at him, seemingly dissatisfied, “Are you only strong with your words? Faker.” ]

[ …..]

~Projection of All Worlds~

“Suddenly, I have a bad feeling. As the saying goes, villains die from talking too much, and the king’s pride won’t let him take it seriously. Perhaps this is why he will be defeated in the future.”

“Where did my Wise King go… Why does this Gilgamesh keep saying ’mongrel’?”

Everyone from other worlds watched this scene in silence.

The Gilgamesh in the Absolute Demonic Front was arrogant but not arrogant and careless. Was the one who kept saying “mongrel” the same person? The difference was too great.

~Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline~

~In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia~

“The quality of the projected items has decreased, and the amount of magic power he possesses is too low!”

Gilgamesh shook his head. The previous Big Hero Emiya had the Holy Grail’s magic power boost, so he could clear the Holy Grail War in one night with a human body.

Even at the end, he overdrafted his life to exchange for magic power.

This was the difference in resolve. If he could, he would like to see Emiya Shirou give that chuunibyou self of his a good beating.

“Although I don’t want to admit it, that chuunibyou self of mine was right about one thing. A king has his pride. When this king takes it seriously, it’s a defeat for this king.”

After all, if he had to take a Servant seriously to deal with a human, then this king would undoubtedly have lost.

…..

[ Emiya Shirou ignored Gilgamesh’s mockery, instead clenching his teeth. A memory involuntarily surfaced in his mind: a white-haired Archer turned his head to look at him and said softly, “You will defeat him.” ]

[ The scene returned to reality. At this moment, Emiya Shirou looked at the leisurely Gilgamesh in front of him, gripping his weapon and gritting his teeth: “That bastard! How am I supposed to do this in this situation?” ]

[ “With my skill, I can’t defeat that guy’s Noble Phantasms at all.” ]

[ “There’s only one thing I can do. I can only collide with the exact same things as the Noble Phantasms he shoots out to cancel them out!” ]

[ “In that case…” Emiya Shirou seemed to have thought of something and closed his eyes. The dual swords in his hands also disappeared. When he opened his eyes again, he firmly shouted that phrase again: “Trace!” ]

[ His eyes quickly scanned the weapons in the golden ripples. A green light flashed across the weapons coming out from the center of the golden ripples, one after another. ]

[ “Copy all of them!!” ]

[ “On!!” ]

[ As Emiya Shirou’s words fell, his left arm began to emit a rather dazzling light. Centered around Emiya Shirou, the Noble Phantasms that originally belonged to Gilgamesh were copied and appeared behind Emiya Shirou, one by one. ]

[ “Experience acquired, empathy complete, process finished! Full projection, standby!!” ]

[ …..]

~Projection of All Worlds~

“He’s indeed powerful, but he’s still a bit short of Big Hero Emiya. The Big Hero Emiya from back then could create Divine Constructs just by looking at them…”

“Seeing this familiar scene, if Gilgamesh doesn’t get serious, he’s going to suffer a loss.”

Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise at Emiya Shirou’s blatant act of piracy. He was truly a natural counter to Gilgamesh! Using his eyes as a scanner, it was a direct copy and paste.

~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~

Emiya Kiritsugu silently looked at this person who was suspected to be the child he had adopted,

“Is this Projection Magecraft… that powerful? He’s really made something of it.”

Projection Magecraft was not rare, but rather quite common.

Because it was formed from mana, it couldn’t be materialized for a long time. And when the illusion had flaws, it would also dissipate, making it considered an extremely inefficient act!

But did it really seem that way now?! What was originally only a temporary, superficial borrowing that lasted only a few minutes, but Emiya Shirou’s Projection had unprecedentedly overturned these concepts!

Irisviel ignored all this and silently cheered for Emiya Shirou. Since he was adopted by Emiya Kiritsugu, he was her child after all.

…..

Gilgamesh’s hand holding the wine glass paused slightly. He wasn’t surprised that Emiya Shirou could copy the Noble Phantasms from his treasury. He had already witnessed it with the previous Big Hero Emiya.

The only thing he was currently confused about was,

“…Where did he get so much mana?!”

…..

[ “Oh?! There are quite a few this time!” Gilgamesh seemed quite surprised. Then he stood up from the eaves, looking very interested, “So that’s it, you’ve copied all the Noble Phantasms you saw in my eyes. Then let’s give you a score.” ]

[ Just as Gilgamesh was speaking, the golden ripples also slightly rotated and changed direction. The Noble Phantasms inside also began to emerge, aiming at Emiya Shirou in the distance. ]

[ “No matter how lifelike they are, I will erase every single one of them from this world.” ]

[ Emiya Shirou accepted them all and copied them one by one, “Stop thawing! Full projection, continuous rewrite.” ]

[ “Bang, bang, bang—!” ]

[ The collision between Noble Phantasms caused an explosion. Rounds and rounds of fire appeared in the night sky, like the sun, illuminating everything around. ]

[ …..]

~Projection of All Worlds~

“A battle between genuine and fake, hasn’t this become a low-spec version of Gilgamesh… hehehe”

“If the quality between the genuine and the fake is similar, then the rest is a comparison of mana. But… can Emiya Shirou, as a human, really compare to the King of Heroes?!”

Although it was unclear if Emiya Shirou in this world had the Reality Marble Unlimited Blade Works, even if he did, he probably wouldn’t be an opponent.

Big Hero Emiya also lost to Gilgamesh’s uncopyable Noble Phantasm, Enuma Elish. Even using all his swords, he couldn’t match it. How could he win? Or would he lose regretfully like Big Hero Emiya?

~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~

Tohsaka Rin looked at Emiya Shirou with some disbelief, as if she had just met him for the first time. Her eyes widened, and she said in disbelief,

“Emiya-kun, if I’m not mistaken, you’re facing a Servant. How can a human fight a Servant?!”

But now Emiya Shirou was actually fighting a Servant with a human body, and from the looks of it, they were fighting back and forth! This made Tohsaka Rin, who considered herself to understand Emiya Shirou, extremely shocked.

What’s going on?? Didn’t you just say you weren’t good at magecraft, and now you’re fighting him to a standstill? Were you acting the whole time?!

“Uh… Calm down, calm down, I’m not too sure either.”

Emiya Shirou was more confused than she was. He only knew ordinary reinforcement magecraft and projection magecraft. Where did he get such great ability?!
