Chapter 79: The Pyramid Armor Complex!
🕑 Added 2025-04-09 03:00:02 +0000 UTC【 After returning to the camp, Fujimaru Ritsuka discovered that Da Vinci, who was thought to have died long ago, had reappeared before their eyes.
After battling with the high-ranking knights and escaping the Holy City, Da Vinci sacrificed herself to cover for their retreat, along with the refugees, by launching a suicidal attack against Lancelot’s leading soldiers.
Fujimaru Ritsuka assumed she had returned to the Throne of Heroes, especially after such an intense explosion that left everything seemingly shattered into pieces.
However, much to everyone’s surprise, she was not only alive but also happily residing within Lancelot’s village.
While everyone was still rejoicing over Da Vinci’s survival, they learned from her analysis: “The current King Arthur has lost all rationality!”
“Are you saying the king is nothing more than a puppet?!” Lancelot, shocked and disbelieving, questioned: “A mere puppet obeying Agravain’s commands?”
Da Vinci couldn’t immediately respond to Lancelot’s astonishment and continued explaining the analysis of The Lion King.
“Moreover, he isn’t even a Heroic Spirit anymore!”
“What does this mean?” Mash asked, full of doubt. Everything was shrouded in too many mysteries.
“Beyond Heroic Spirits! Into the realm of gods—divine beings!” Da Vinci, looking at the intelligence in her hands, spoke with unwavering certainty: “She is a god!!”
Upon hearing this, Bedivere’s breathing quickens uncontrollably. Lowering his head and widening his eyes, the overwhelming sense of guilt made it impossible for him to lift his head again!
Repeated use of Airgetlám had pushed his body to its limit, and the sudden surge of guilt rendered him unable to endure further. He collapsed unconscious on the ground!】

“Transformed from human to divine! No wonder there’s no trace of humanity left—only divinity remains.”
“So here’s the question: we can understand why the Lion King became like this, but why do the Knights of the Round Table still follow such a king?”
“The key issue is that the Lion King recognizes the other knights, so why does she repeatedly fail to recognize Sire Bedivere?”
“It’s truly baffling.”
The crowd outside the video was filled with confusion and bewilderment. The Lion King’s Knights of the Round Table had seemingly forgotten Sire Bedivere. Though there were originally twelve members, only a few remain now.
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“Only divinity remains?”
Gilgamesh, intrigued by the analysis on the screen, turned to mockingly address the King of Knights.
“Is this what you call a king? To have your body possessed by the divinity of the Holy Spear!”
Gilgamesh understood what had happened. Inside the video, The Lion King was merely a puppet controlled by the Holy Spear.
Artoria ignored Gilgamesh’s taunts but gradually began to understand.
Could it be that Sire Bedivere hadn’t returned Excalibur for the third time? Is that why he was driven by the divinity of the Holy Spear?
【 Bedivere remained unconscious until the second day when he finally awoke. In conversation with Fujimaru Ritsuka, he realized his path was clear—he must personally kill the Lion King.
As dawn approached, the group began their plan. Lancelot led the charge, commanding the soldiers to block the high-ranking knights, followed by dividing forces to storm the city. After breaching the walls, they split into multiple routes, heading straight for the royal fortress!
The great sun shone overhead as the massive army charged forward. The Sun Knight Gawain leaped down from the city walls to block the gate!
“The gates to the holy city lies beyond.”
“My sun will thwart any and all evil!”
“Sword of Revolving Victory——!”
(Excalibur Galatine)
Gawain unleashed his Noble Phantasm, swinging his sword and releasing flames akin to the sun toward the crowd. But Lancelot stepped forward and blocked the attack.
Seeing Lancelot’s betrayal once again, Gawain’s voice carried a hint of anger: “How dare you betray us at this critical moment!”
“Knight Lancelot, I am utterly disappointed in you!”
For Lancelot didn't care about the words of the Sun Knight because it was an act of loyalty to the king. Then, drawing his sword, he charged forward, engaging the Sun Knight Gawain!
However, blessed by the saints, Gawain’s strength surged under the sun, even forcing Lancelot back.
Just as Gawain prepared to unleash his Noble Phantasm against the army, Bedivere stepped in to block his attack.
“Sire Bedivere…” The Sun Knight Gawain was slightly surprised, then asked with suspicion: “I thought you fled out of fear of the King’s Divine Light.”
“Yes, I ran away!” Sir Bedivere closed his eyes momentarily and then opened them wide. His expression was resolute: “But! I’ve returned. I’ll defeat you. I’ll defeat the Lion King!!”
As soon as these words fell, a sandstorm rose behind him, accompanied by the tolling of bells, swallowing the Holy City whole. Not only the Holy City—the sun itself was obscured.
“Your cries—I’ve heard them!” Accompanied by the ringing of bells, the skull-masked, black-robed king appeared at the center of the sandstorm.
The king’s eyes burned with blue flames as he gazed at Sir Bedivere, his voice deep: “Bewildered knight! You’ve shown the will of heaven. Now face the end you deserve!”
Then, the scene shifted, and Gawain finds himself in a pitch-black space!
“What is this…?” Gawain surveyed his surroundings, raising his greatsword and cautiously eyeing the figure before him: “Who are you?!”
The king ignored his question, blue flames rising from his chest, and said gravely: “Look up at the sky! O proud knight, do you see the sun above your head?” 】
.....

“No sun—only the flashing light of a dying star!”
“This decisiveness truly befits a king Hassan, doesn’t it…?”
“With King Hassan blocking the Sun Knight, we’re safe.”
“I’m impressed by King Hassan’s ability to instantly change the battlefield. It’s truly mysterious and unpredictable.”
【 Even though Gawain was held back, the group was still unable to breach the city gates. Even Lancelot’s Noble Phantasm couldn’t break through. As they stood helpless, planning to retreat…
Suddenly, a pitch-black teleportation gate appeared beside them. Nitocris emerged, tossing a black box to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
“Arrange for everyone at the front gate to retreat immediately. Don’t waste time!” Nitocris finished speaking and returned to the teleportation gate, disappearing from sight.
Then, clouds accompanied by flashes of lightning roared into view! The magnificent golden pyramid temple appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Inside the temple, the Sun King Ozymandias rose from his throne, descending step by step!
“It seems I’ve become too clear about the future, losing sight of my duties. I am not someone who avoids war in order to protect myself!”
Ozymandias moved toward the three pillars of Hermes, arms outstretched, gazing at the Holy City below! With great confidence, he declared: “I rule over all people, even the enemies of the world!”
“Open the Great Temple’s Eye!”
“Pyramid Armor Complex! Disengage!”
As his words fell, the floating golden light of the pyramid temple slowly opened.
A highly technological machine appeared before everyone—a massive lamp-like device beneath the pyramid!
“Large magic compression acceleration ritual. Begin!” Nitocris’ voice followed closely.
As lightning flashed, magic continuously replenished the energy, and the lamp-like Noble Phantasm began emitting golden light!
“Almighty god! Witness my great achievements! All destruction shall be decided by Pharaoh.”
“Behold! Great Lightbulb Dendera!!”
With the Sun King’s roar, a blinding blue magical cannon struck the city gates. A loud explosion followed, and the once indestructible gates were instantly shattered into pieces. 】

“So this pyramid can fly?!”
“Is this really Egypt? Is there some mistake? How could they possess such advanced technology…!”
~Yu-Gi-Oh World~
“Another me—are you sure you’re truly Pharaoh?”
Yugi silently asked his companion inside him.
Pharaoh Atem said nothing, even doubting whether he might be a false Pharaoh...
~A Certain Magical Index World~
“It's crooked, right? Absolute crooked…!”
Misaka Mikoto’s voice, filled with doubt, rang out repeatedly.
It wasn’t just about the misfired light cannon. The technology itself was a complete deviation. An Egyptian pyramid as a technological artifact? The earlier 3D projection was already too far off.
Now, this pyramid doesn’t just fly—it sheds its armor, revealing a giant lamp inside. And then the lamp releases an immensely powerful beam of light?
My worldview is shattered.
What is this? A floating pyramid as a technological artifact? Even Academy City wouldn’t be certain it could create something like this… Do you dare believe this is Egypt?
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“This is absolutely a light bulb!”
Tohsaka Rin similarly looked as if her worldview had collapsed. She never imagined the seemingly indestructible Holy City would fall to a mere lamp.
History can’t always be trusted. Who would’ve thought ancient Egypt already had such advanced technology?!
Even with modern technology, creating something like this would be impossible!!
