“Uh... How shocking! Just like that, his head fell off!?”
Shokuhou Misaki clutched her chest in disbelief. Initially, seeing Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka from the previous video appeared, she thought it would be another grand epic of humanity.
But to her surprise, it turned out to be a horror movie! A moment ago, he was speaking with such dignity, and then suddenly his head just... fell off! Anyone would have been startled!
~Madoka Magica World~
“Suddenly, I feel a chill on my neck!”
The young girl with a mature physique—curly blonde hair typically styled in twin drills and yellow, square-shaped eyes—set down her cup of black tea.
Tomoe Mami couldn’t help but touch her neck. For some reason, she had an ominous premonition, and this feeling was incredibly strong.
【 Even within the video, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others were frightened. Despite having witnessed spectacular scenes before, they couldn't help but exchange puzzled looks.
Then Fujimaru Ritsuka cautiously spoke up, concerned: “Uh... That... Ozymandias, Your Majesty... your head!”
Before he could finish, Ozymandias interrupted him, struggling to maintain his dignity, and shouted loudly: “It must be because you’re too tired from traveling and made a mistake. This time, I’ll forgive you!”
After saying that, he added emphatically: “I am the Sun King!! My head isn’t missing ——”
Before he could finish, his head fell off again!
”......” At this point, the atmosphere became extremely awkward. The Chaldea group remained silent, pretending not to see anything!
The once-dignified Sun King quietly picked up his own head, his golden eyes staring at the people without uttering a word. The awkward tension spread throughout the hall...! 】
.....
~Projection of All Worlds~
“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter just imagining how awkward this must be for him!!”
“But still, it’s impressive. After all, losing his head twice and still being alive is no small feat!”
“Who could’ve done it? Who has the skill to silently cut off the Sun King’s head not once, but twice?”
“Haha, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn’t say anything out of consideration, did he?”
~Nanatsu No Taizai World~
“Haha, who does this guy think he is, calling himself the Sun King?!”
The Lion's Sin of Pride, Escanor, laughed loudly before continuing:
“How arrogant...!”
【 In the next scene, perhaps due to the awkwardness, after being treated to a delicious meal by the Sun King, Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group were kicked out of the Radiant Temple!
However, they did manage to obtain crucial information from the Sun King. They came too late! In this world, the Lion King of the Holy Capital had already destroyed everything!
Traveling through the desert wasn’t easy, so the ever-resourceful Da Vinci built a wooden vehicle called the Flapping Sphinx, capable of flight, heading toward the pure white Holy Capital!
Along the way, they saw nothing but desolation everywhere, along with countless displaced refugees. These people were starving, deranged, their eyes devoid of any light!
When they arrived near the chalk-white city, a large number of refugees had gathered to perform the Holy Pulling Ceremony. So, the group blended in with the refugees and followed them into the inner city!
After entering the Holy City, a tall figure stepped out from behind the wide-open gates.
A knight with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, dressed in armor, slowly approached. As he came closer, the blazing sunlight illuminated the sky, making him look even more dazzling under its rays! 】
.....
~Type-Moon World, Carnival Phantasm Worldline~
In Fuyuki's Emiya Household, Artoria set down her bowl of rice, staring intently at the familiar figure on screen, reminiscing:
“I never expected Sire Gawain to appear too! It seems what they say about my Knights of the Round Table is true.”
Emiya Shirou silently refilled her bowl and asked:
“Saber, do you know that knight?”
Artoria took a bite of rice and replied:
“That’s Sire Gawain. No one is more earnest and sincere than him, and he absolutely wouldn’t harbor any negative emotions like resentment!”
“He’s a noble knight, shining like the sun!”
~Throne of Heroes~
“Sire Gawain!!”
Tristan exclaimed in surprise. There was no doubt about it—the outfit! And that presence as if he embodied the Sun itself.
Gawain nodded in response to his doubts, confirming that the person in the video was indeed him. However, he had a bad feeling about it.
【 This Sun Knight explained the requirements for the Holy Pulling Ceremony to the people, then slightly raised his hand and said solemnly: “Please beg for the king’s mercy!”
As his words faded, the master of this holy city emerged from behind, clad in silver armor and draped in a white robe. Her voice was cold and emotionless as she stated the conditions for the Holy Pulling Ceremony!
“Only a limited number of people can reach the end!”
“Human nature is corrupt and defiled!”
Then, a golden glow emanated from her hand. Out of the many suffering people, only three emitted a golden light—they were the chosen ones.
“People who have maintained purity since birth!” After selecting these three individuals, the so-called Holy Pulling Ceremony ended!
However, after the conclusion of the Holy Pulling Ceremony, Gawain of the knights of the Round Table began commanding the Enforcement Knights to eliminate all the refugees except for the three chosen ones.
Suddenly, numerous arrows appeared in the sky, raining down on the refugees! Lives were mercilessly taken. The heavily armored Enforcement Knights also wielded blades, harvesting lives without hesitation!
Gawain’s cold face showed no emotion whatsoever—an unimaginable calmness, as if none of this had anything to do with him, silently observing everything! 】
.....
~Projection of All Worlds~
“How infuriating!! He’s nothing but a scoundrel!!”
“This demeanor makes him seem like a heartless machine!”
~One Piece World~
“It’s truly brutal...!”
Nico Robin recalled her own childhood, when the World Government mercilessly fired cannons at refugee ships to erase history. The memory sent a shiver down her spine.
~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“Why...!”
Artoria’s expression darkened with sorrow. She was deeply pained to see such a noble knight reduced to this numb, unfeeling state.
But beyond sadness, she felt shame and anger toward the brutal and inhumane Lion King!
She knew without a doubt that the person clad in armor and mask, conducting the Holy Pulling Ceremony, was none other than herself!
“Why has Sire Gawain become like this...!”
Artoria’s face was full of disbelief. How could Sire Gawain order the massacre of civilians?! They had come to the Holy City seeking protection, after all!
Somewhere in Fuyuki City. Berserker Lancelot, who had been silently watching the scene, suddenly let out a guttural roar, his blackened armor trembling with barely contained rage.
“A----urrrrrr!!!”
His voice was distorted, filled with anguish and fury. The sight of Lion King, once awakened something deep within him.
“Arrrrthurrrrrr……!”
His madness twisting his speech, but the pain in his voice was unmistakable. —he was condemning the Lion King, the twisted version of Artoria who had allowed such atrocities to occur.
~Throne of Heroes~
“Sire Gawain!”
Agravain’s face was filled with rage as he glared at the noble knight, shouting with genuine indignation:
“You’ve betrayed the chivalric code!! Have you forgotten all twelve tenets?!”
“Calm down, Sire Agravain!”
Tristan stepped in to restrain the furious Agravain, his voice steady.
“We don’t yet understand the full picture. Perhaps this is some kind of impostor!”
Gawain said nothing. He knew that the person in the video was indeed him.
Now, his heart was filled with anger, but he understood that the most critical issue was still the king!
“Why has the king changed like this?!”
~Akame Ga Kill World~
“This is even worse than the empire!”
Tatsumi slammed his fist on the table, his voice trembling with fury. Massacring unarmed civilians—what kind of knight does something like that?!
【 To save the refugees, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash confronted knight Gawain directly!
However, they were completely no match for the knight Gawain!
“You’re pitiful, no—you’re someone whose emotions make me want to sigh deeply,” Gawain said indifferently as he watched Mash being pushed back.
“You don’t see me as an enemy. With such a mindset, why are you even on the battlefield?”
“The Enforcement Knights are merely following my orders. You should hate your enemies—me, their commander! How could someone who doesn’t even understand this basic principle step onto the battlefield? It’s an insult to us!”
He then unsheathed his sword, and the sky began to brighten. Sunlight shone upon him, and his magical power surged rapidly!
Seeing this scene, Da Vinci immediately realized and shouted to Mash: “That’s him!! He’s knight Gawain, the Sun Knight...!”
“Exactly!” Gawain calmly admitted his identity, his cold voice addressing everyone: “As long as the Sun remains, my power will be blessed by the saints. You have no chance of winning!”
At this moment, Mash quickly charged at Gawain with her shield but was stopped by the first strike. Looking at the shield, Gawain was surprised and said: “Since you possess this shield, I must show my true strength!”
With a flick of his hand, he knocked away several weapons. Then, he immediately summoned his Noble Phantasm, running his hand along the blade!
“This sword is a replica of the sun!”
“Its flame shall cleanse all the impurity of this world.”
“Mash!” Fujimaru Ritsuka shouted loudly, and Mash stepped forward, revealing his own Noble Phantasm!
“Virtual Noble Phantasm Pseudo-Deployment!”
(Lord Chaldeas)
As the magic circle appeared, a blue beam of light manifested on the shield! Meanwhile, Gawain’s attack came swiftly!
“Excalibur Galatine——!! ”
