🕑 Added 2025-04-04 03:01:01 +0000 UTC~Projection of All Worlds~
The crowd outside the video fell completely silent for a moment, followed by an outpouring of disbelief.
“I… I… Are my eyes deceiving me? This is simply unbelievable!”
“Today should have been a day of intense action! How could I dream something like this...?!”
“The key point is that this was a direct clash between humanity and divinity! Arash, who was gravely injured, unleashed his final strike!”
“A single ordinary-sized arrow defeating a colossal holy spear radiating divine light...! Remember, even the mountains appeared tiny before the Holy Spear!”
“This is truly a collision between human nature and divinity! To protect the people, Arash fired his ultimate strike against the holy spear, which represents divine retribution!”
“With a mortal body, he struck a blow worthy of the gods.”
~Campione World~
“Is this really something a human can achieve...?!”
Erica stared blankly at the images in the video, beginning to question her own worldview.
~Saint Seiya World~
“It’s this kind of will. Even when facing the gods, they dare to draw their bows and fire. That’s the true will of humanity.”
Virgo Shaka couldn’t help but praise.
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“Is this the full-force strike of the great hero Arash?!”
Emiya Shirou was utterly shaken by this blow. Although he had seen many Noble Phantasm releases in previous videos, this time, the disparity was so clear that it left an indescribable sense of awe.
Meanwhile, Tohsaka Rin was at a loss for words to describe what she was witnessing. Only one thought remained in her mind:
“The title of ‘great hero’ is absolutely fitting!!”
While others who can shoot down falling stars... But there is only one person who can shatter the stars!
【 The mountain village, originally shrouded in dark clouds, was once again bathed in light under this miraculous event!
But as the crowd turned back, the only evidence of his existence were the footprints left in the muddy ground.
This was the final brilliance of the great hero’s life. His figure had vanished just before dawn arrived! 】
.....
~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“…Other than admiration, there’s nothing else to say!”
The Conqueror King, Iskandar, raised his goblet and silently toasted this great hero.
“He has earned the title of ‘great hero.’ His glorious deeds will be known across different worlds!”
“This man named Arash… will definitely have a place even in Uruk. As one of the servants who possess Clairvoyance like me, he would undoubtedly hold the highest seat of honor!”
The King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, who had previously been arrogant and dismissive, now wore a rare smile as he praised Arash. His golden eyes gleamed with genuine respect, a stark contrast to his usual condescending demeanor.
~Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline~
~In the 6th singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot~
“Hahaha… No wonder even I, the King of Kings, hold this man in high regard!”
Even Ramesses II, the Sun King, who always maintained his dignity, felt deep respect.
“What a dazzling and radiant strike! A hero of this caliber is worthy of my admiration!”
~A Certain Magical Index World~
“So this is the legendary hero…!”
Kamijōu Tōuma muttered.
Such blinding willpower will surely leave its mark in human history.
【 “I’ve walked a long and arduous path!” Bedivere looked at the sorrowful crowd, his heart becoming incredibly resolute.
“No matter what it takes, I must… With this hand, kill my king!” Bedivere slowly rose, supporting his right hand, gritting his teeth as he reaffirmed his resolve. 】
~Type-Moon World, Throne of Heroes~
“It’s truly tragic…”
Tristan revealed a sorrowful face.
As Bedivere’s good friend, he knew how loyal Bedivere was to the king. Now, he had no choice but to personally end the life of his king.
“In the video, Tristan didn’t move an inch, did he?”
Gawain stroked his chin, speculating.
Could it be due to some reason? Perhaps the remnants of conscience kept him from resisting the king’s command?
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
At this moment, the King of Knights, Artoria’s heart was filled with immense sorrow and hatred for the Lion King in the video! How could she allow the Knights of the Round Table to slaughter each other?
Even worse, he showed no shred of humanity, not sparing even the last sanctuary or her own subordinates, whom she intended to annihilate along with everyone else.
【 Then the scene shifted to a knight riding a white horse speeding through the dense forest!
“Sire Bedivere, my knight… Take my sword!” Leaning weakly under the shade of a tree, King Arthur (Artoria) handed the sword to the knight before him.
“I command you… Leave this forest, cross the blood-stained hills! As you go further, you’ll see a lake. Then, cast my sword into it.”
The weakened King Arthur (Artoria), trembling, managed to extend the sword and continued: “After completing this task, return here and tell me what you saw!”
Suddenly, Bedivere regained consciousness, punching the ground in pain. Groaning, he looked up at the heavily armored figure before him!
“Old man of the mountain! Why do you show me these things?!”
The skull-masked jester king, wielding a massive sword, faint blue flames flickering on his chest. A heavy voice echoed.
“The tolling bell announces divine fate! Bewildered knight, to liberate your sovereign, there is only one way, but once achieved, your soul will surely be exhausted. Knowing this, do you still wish to fulfill your purpose?”
Bedivere, writhing in pain on the ground, struggled to stand. Though in agony, his tone remained resolute: “Yes…! This is my mission.”
King Hassan’s eyes emit a faint blue light, and his heavy voice continues: “Show your determination! Let it shine upon the master of the land! Otherwise, divine fate cannot be fulfilled!” 】
.....
~Katekyo Hitman Reborn! World~
“That was the legendary scene of King Arthur instructing Sire Bedivere to return the holy sword,”
Sawada Tsunayoshi said slowly.
According to legend, Sire Bedivere hesitated twice before finally casting the holy sword into the lake on the third attempt.
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“So, this is your suffering, Sire Bedivere, my knight…”
Artoria had no idea that her final command placed such a heavy burden on him.
“The king does not understand the hearts of people.”
These words echoed once again in Artoria’s mind. She couldn’t help but smile bitterly— Sire Tristan was right after all.
【 The scene shifted, showing Lancelot running through the desert, casually slashing a Sphinx beast that emerged from the sands!
Recalling the scene in the Holy Capital!
“Why did you unleash the Holy Spear? That village was almost entirely defenseless refugees!” Lancelot questioned Agravain.
Agravain’s cold voice responded: “I already told you; we must eliminate the old man in the mountains… the leader of those assassins!”
Seated on the throne, the Lion King remained expressionless, his tone icy: “My knights, the Holy Spear has entered its final phase. The Tower of the End will soon envelop us.”
Crowned with a golden circlet, his emerald eyes devoid of emotion, he continued: “Thus, I have systematically eradicated all opposing forces.”
Then Tristan delivered shocking news: “There’s still one rebel among us—our ally, Sire Bedivere!”
Upon hearing this, the Knights of the Round Table were astonished, sparking heated discussions. At this moment, the Lion King spoke.
Still expressionless, his green eyes devoid of emotion: “What are you talking about?”
“Sire Bedivere?”
“Who is it again?”】
......
~Projection of All Worlds~
These words left everyone outside the video utterly shocked.
“How could this be? He’s the knight you entrusted to cast the sword into the lake before your death!”
“He doesn’t even recognize one of the Knights of the Round Table?”
“This Lion King must be an imposter! But what about the other knights?”
“This Lion King is strange, as if devoid of humanity, like an emotionless machine.”
“That’s the odd part—she recognizes the other knights but not Sire Bedivere?!!”
“Though that knight Lancelot seems to retain some humanity, caring about those villagers!”
~Type-Moon World, Throne of Heroes~
At this moment, the crowd could finally breathe a sigh of relief. They were certain this person was absolutely not their king!
From her demeanor alone, it was clear! Our king wouldn’t have such a large heart. But could there be another king with a similar face...?
Not even recognizing the trusted knights of the Round Table, as if Sire Bedivere never existed.
~A Certain Magical Index World~
“This Lion King must be a fake! Sire Bedivere was King Arthur’s most trusted knight!”
Misaka Mikoto quickly flipped through historical records, her grades skyrocketing since watching the video.
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“You in the video look more like a king than you!”
Gilgamesh found King Arthur in the video far more dignified from any angle.
Artoria remained silent.
Despite having the same appearance as the others, why didn’t she recognize Sire Bedivere…
What exactly happened? The other knights were real, and so was the Noble Phantasm...
Translator Note:
"Misaka Mikoto quickly flipped through historical records, her grades skyrocketing since watching the video." ngl this scene is really funny
