[To think you could resonate your soul with the Sword of Rupture and draw out even more power. I never imagined it would display enough power to cancel out the Noble Phantasms of three Indian heroes and fulfill the desire to sever the world. Good grief—I'm getting the nickname of a senile old man at this rate. You exceed my expectations at every turn.]
...Air's soul awakens power far beyond the original Sword of Rupture.
That is the true worth of the Heroine Princess, the shape of a soul capable of affecting the Sword of Rupture and even 'The King of Heroes, Gilgamesh'—the fulfillment of the Sword of Rupture earlier was the same.
'Staking one's soul to draw out power beyond the limit' is the true essence of the Heroine Princess—the strike of the enhanced Sword of Rupture would likely rival even divine judgment, a strike that burns and bundles the world.
It is still unstable, and recoil is inevitable. For a normal hero, the body would shatter—but in that sense, the only one who can withstand the Princess's true worth is—the King of Heroes alone.
—And if that reaches its zenith...
[—Hmph. I look forward to that extremity.]
The King of Heroes smiled at Air, who was growing beyond his imagination.
And he was convinced. —That this soul was indispensable to his current self.
The center of the oldest and newest epic is Myself, and this...
—Banana! It's good for the body! Let's eat it together! Ah, where is Merlin-san?
(He went home. Said he'd see you again.)
—Eeeh!? N-No way... I wanted to say hello... To that person who allowed me and Fou to meet—
(Wholehearted respect even to scum like that... Ah... —)
Thrusting rainbow-colored swords from all over his body, Fou began to disappear.
—Fou—!?
...This innocent Heroine Princess who continues to walk and grow beyond even my imagination.
"King of Heroes—!"
A boy and a girl approached the proudly smiling Gilgamesh.
"Once again, thank you so much! I... I was finally able to fulfill all my wishes!"
Rama smiled proudly and cheerfully.
"Thank you so much for protecting Rama-sama. ...I will not forget. This debt, forever... —"
Holding hands tightly, leaning against each other, the two bowed deeply.
—Ah, so this feeling... is what they call 'precious', Fou...
(That's right, Air. —It's the feeling I always receive...)
Fou snuggled up to her soul, and Air gently embraced him.
[Hmph, do not worry. I merely acted as I pleased. —And, nothing shall ever tear you apart again.]
"Eh...?"
"B-But... if we disappear, we return to the Throne..."
[You shall not return to the Throne. Only you two. —I will explain the details in Paradise. for now, you need only enjoy yourselves.]
Ignoring the two who looked dumbfounded:
"Alright! Then let us fulfill our true purpose!! —Gather round, you lot!!"
He held the World Holy Grail high.
"—Let us take a commemorative photo!!"
—The execution of a ritual to make this moment eternal.
[Ricca, leave the shutter to me. Smile, smile.]
She responded to Olga Marie's words with a thumbs up.
"Yeah! Thank you!"
"I would like to say I am the center... but I shall dare to concede it. Rama! Sita! I yield the face of this Singularity to you!"
He pointed sharply.
"And Dog! Master! Laugh brightly and color the finale!"
"Oi oi, you don't mind, Missy?"
"Yeah!! Of course! In fact, please do!!"
Ricca bowed deeply.
"Immediate answer, huh. Shaa! Excuse me a bit!"
Laughing brightly, Cú Chulainn lifted Ricca in a princess carry.
"S-Sita. —I-Is it okay?"
"Yes, Rama-sama."
They nodded to each other, and Rama held her with fresh innocence.
"Fufu, that's right. It takes someone like Cú Chulainn to balance out Ricca."
"Jeanne Alter-san."
With determination, pride, and willpower, Mash looked at Jeanne Alter.
"—As Master's shield and spear... let's do our best from now on!"
"—Yes, I expect much from you."
"Get out of the frame, Teslaaaaa!!"
"Your hair is annoying, mediocrity!!"
"Alright! Let's sing! Now is the time to show the power of Myself, Elizabeth, Connla, and Mash!!"
"We're doing it! We're doing it!! I'll sing! I—I can fulfill the promise!"
"Scáthach, you wanted to die, right? Here."
『Headphones』
"—Are you serious, Setanta."
"Yeah, first, pass on. The welcome comes after."
Cú Chulainn handed Scáthach the headphones that concentrated Nero and Elizabeth's singing voices.
"Don't tell me you have some unsuited sentimental wish like 'If I die, I want to be killed by your full soul'?"
"Baba-sama, are you a maiden!"
"Gunu—! Eeii! I'll pass on then! —Be prepared, Setanta!"
Scáthach put on the headphones in desperation.
"Umu umu! Truly a grand finale! It was a good fight!!"
"...Let us meet again. I was happy to fight together with you, Cú Chulainn."
"Me too. See you at Chaldea, Fergus, Laeg."
"Photo..."
"Do you dislike it~? Even Lord God Spear has things he's bad at~?"
"...Well, this time is special."
"Smile, smile! Robin, Geronimo! You can laugh, right? You okay?"
"Who do you think I am! I can laugh just fine, okay!"
"Smiling is originally a predatory expression. Finding meaning in it is a human achievement."
"Fuhahahahahaha!! It is a record that will remain forever; I will not forgive you if you do not appear with your greatest, best faces!"
Confirming everyone was in the shot, the King laughed loudly.
(Air, let's take one together next time!)
—Yeah!
"Missy, you smiling?"
"You too, Bro!"
"I love you, Rama-sama."
"Me too, Sita. —Forever, forever—"
[Okay then—Say, Cheese!]
"""""Say! Cheese!!!!"""""
『『BOE————————————!!!!!!!!!』』
"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...——!!"
—Thus, the bond takes an eternal shape again.
The hero who sees the stars moves forward.
—Aiming for a flawless conclusion.
The World Holy Grail gathers everything.
And the group returns to Paradise—
"—You've come, Karna."
"Of course. That is the pact."
"—I will fulfill my true desire. Interrupted by no one, this time I will defeat you."
"—Perhaps we were someday waiting for such a day to come. Both me, and you."
"Ah. —This opportunity grasped at the end of thousands, tens of thousands of coincidences. I will not let it go!"
"—I will say just one thing. The current you cannot defeat me. Arjuna."
"What—"
"Because—the current me is not alone. An irreplaceable Master. The mission to save Human Order. And—the feelings of the innocent ones who wished for my true desire are embedded within."
"—"
"Know that even with that bow and arrow, even with that arrowhead—you cannot shatter this body, this wish, this soul, Arjuna."
"—I will pierce through those feelings and all! Because that, that is—my everything—!!"
"—Come. Now, I shall receive your everything."
"Here I come, Karnaaaaaaa!!!"
"—Come, Arjuna—!"
"—I will save. I will continue to save everyone."
[Body beginning to depart]
"Even if I must steal everything."
—I cut away all that is poisonous, all that is harmful—
"—Thank you. Goodbye. Doctor Ricca."
—To the limit of my power, I shall guide people's happiness—
"—Mental patient discovered. Heading to rescue—"
