Chapter 81: The Holy Spear Pulls the Anchor! Shining at the Spear of the End
🕑 Added 2025-04-09 03:02:00 +0000 UTC【 Facing the Lion King’s emotionless words, Fujimaru Ritsuka showed no fear. He looked straight into the other’s eyes and declared firmly.
“We’ve come to stop you!! To correct humanity’s path and reclaim the future.”
The declaration echoed throughout the throne hall, carrying an unwavering will that moved everyone present.
“Humanity has already been burned away, and only this place remains as salvation. This is the end of the world!”
The regal figure on the throne slowly rose and approached Fujimaru Ritsuka, but his words sent chills down everyone’s spines.
“Gods cannot exist without humans; I love you all. Unable to bear losing you, I have decided to grant you eternity.”
“I have gathered all noble souls fit to remain behind, fixed them, and turned them into data! Where did I go wrong?”
The holy sovereign left golden footprints with every step, continuing his speech without pause.
“Granting limited lives eternal existence—this is the ultimate conclusion for protecting humanity! This is your happiness.”】
....

“These words sound just like Tiamat’s! Her so-called love is far too heavy for humanity to bear.”
“Is this what the gods have in common? All of them were deeply attached to humanity.”
“But even so, what gives her the right to judge humanity? How can she justify slaughtering innocent civilians?”
“Granting limited lives eternal existence—but how is this different from turning people into specimens?”
The crowd outside the video understood what a god was for the first time. A god devoid of emotion, collecting noble souls and turning them into fixed data... Isn’t this essentially creating specimens?
~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“How foolish, how arrogant! Are you truly such an ignorant deity? It’s infuriating… What a joke, the so-called god!”
Gilgamesh clenched the wine glass in his hand. The Lion King’s words made him feel extremely angry!
God does not know how to adapt and does not have the power of thinking and judgment. The only thing he recognizes about his friend is that he died at the hands of the so-called God.
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“Don’t joke around! Giving our limited life an eternity and calling it our happiness?”
Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth in anger.
The value of life isn’t determined by its length but by how you use it! The so-called happiness is nothing more than a label the Lion King forces onto others!
Even if you claim to save humanity, there’s no future in it. The reason why Humans are human beings is because they survive with thought and reason.
~Sword Art Online World~
“This is no different from numerical life data…”
Kayaba Akihiko mused deeply. Fixing souls and turning them into data—this is no different from the current state of numerical information.
At least in his SAO world, people still retained some freedom, which was slightly better than being reduced to specimens.
~Naruto World~
“Though I desire immortality, being turned into a specimen is out of the question…”
Orochimaru, despite his obsession with eternal life, couldn’t accept being reduced to mere data. What would be the point of immortality then?
【 “You’re wrong!!” Mash immediately shouted in rebuttal upon hearing this. Whether it was Galahad’s anger within her or another reason, she now possessed the courage to defy the divine proclamation.
“I don’t accept your so-called happiness! An ending isn’t meaningless, and life continues!” Mash gripped her shield tightly, her voice clear and resolute.
“Even if we lose our lives in this battle, we know that life is interconnected and will continue endlessly! If you are the end of the world, then we will fight you with everything we have.”
The once fragile girl had grown into an outstanding warrior.
Despite Mash’s bold declaration, the Lion King remained unmoved. He raised his hand, radiating golden light, and spoke in an emotionless tone:
“Then let me show you something—the truth beneath the world’s shell after I peel off the outer layer of the world!”
As golden light flickered in his hand, it gradually converged into a gleaming golden spear. Several golden ribbon-like lights descended from the sky, wrapping around the spearhead above!
“Holy Spear! Raised anchor.”
“You who are the fury of the storms that divide the sky and connect the earth.”
Golden light rained down from the sky, converging as a massive golden glow appeared beneath the Lion King’s feet. Terrifying pressure surged toward Mash!
Mash didn’t dare to be careless. She raised her shield and began chanting to activate her Noble Phantasm!
“This is the light that heals all wounds and calms all resentment—our glorious homeland—”
As she chanted, mana gathered in her shield, emitting a blue glow.
“Unleash your light from the confines of this world.”
Golden light from beneath the Lion King’s feet shot upward, converging into the sky.
“The Lance That Shines to the End of the World——”
(Rhongomyniad)
Accompanied by bursts of starlight, the storm anchor connecting heaven and earth blazed with golden light, descending with apocalyptic force!
“Manifest yourself! ”
“Now is a Castle of Distant Ideals——”
(Lord Camelot)
Mash raised her shield high, and a familiar blue silhouette reappeared in the sky. Then, golden light bombarded her shield!
To everyone’s disbelief, Mash’s shield blocked the world-destroying storm anchor. 】
....
~Projection of All Worlds~
“A spear that tears through the heavens and connects to the earth’s storms? This oppressive feeling is truly terrifying!”
“What’s surprising is that Mash actually blocked it!”
“However, this was expected. After all, this is the same shield that could block even the Nega-Genesis of the Creation God, Tiamat.”
“But defense alone isn’t enough. Defense alone won’t defeat the Lion King!”
“Moreover, Mash doesn’t have other offensive means. Fujimaru Ritsuka is just a human and can’t do much either.”
As everyone pondered how to deal with the Lion King, a familiar sea of flowers reappeared before them.
【 In the sea of flowers, Merlin addressed the knight kneeling before him: “I see, that's... She is King Arthur, who has mutated due to some discrepancy. You should... know the reason, right?”
“Not wrong...” Bedivere, kneeling on the ground, trembled as he barely managed to speak those two words. 】
....
~Projection of All Worlds~
“So Sire Bedivere knows the cause of the anomaly but has been hiding it…”
“Perhaps the guilt he mentioned earlier is related to this.”
“A knight once known for his loyalty must now personally end the king’s life.”
【 “I’ll tell you something cruel, just as before.” Merlin gazed at the knight before him, his voice gentle: “Bedivere... Can you still fight? Can you still fulfill your mission?”
Under the overwhelming power of the Holy Spear, Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka struggled desperately to hold on. Meanwhile, in reality, Bedivere watched as the Holy Spear bore down on Mash and slowly stepped forward.
“It’s alright, Mash Kyrielight!” The struggling Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka heard a voice.
“As long as you have no hesitation in your heart, that shield... That chalk-white castle wall will never collapse!”
Upon hearing the voice, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the Command Spell in his hand and used it without hesitation.
A voice continued to echo in his ears.
“You, he is not a knight who defeats the enemy. You were chosen for the Round Table because of the kindness in your heart!”
Surprisingly, as these words fell, Mash’s grip on her shield loosened. Above everyone’s heads, the Holy Spear dissolved into golden light.
At this moment, Chaldea’s Dr.Roman’s astonished voice rang out: “Is this the Holy Grail resonating with Sir Galahad’s spirit?!”
As the light expanded, the distant chalk-white city reappeared before everyone’s eyes. The familiar Camelot emerged atop the Tower of the End! 】
.......
~Type-Moon World, Throne of Heroes~
“This is... Camelot!!”
The Round Table knights saw their familiar homeland and were overwhelmed with mixed emotions of guilt, regret, and glory.
“The Holy Grail can resonate with Sire Galahad’s spirit?!”
Mordred exclaimed in surprise.
“So the legend was true! Among the Round Table knights, only Sire Galahad could touch the Holy Grail—but he had no desires...”
The Sun Knight Gawain said, shaken.
【 The wounded knight Bedivere, after a long journey, finally met his king once again.
But the King he once served drew the Holy Spear from the ground and asked coldly: “Who are you?” 】
