『 "Seal Thirteen──Decision start!"
As these words fell!
Hum—
A massive surge of magical energy instantly erupted from his body.
At the same time, under the shocked gazes of all the viewers, twelve majestic figures appeared behind Arthur.
That was, without a doubt, the most famous order of knights in the entire world.
They were also the most powerful subordinates of King Arthur—the Knights of the Round Table!
As the world's most renowned knightly order, there were likely few who wouldn't recognize these figures.
They were the noble knights led by the legendary King Arthur of Britain.
The reason they were called the Round Table was that while the knights charged into battle on the field, back in the kingdom, they would only discuss domestic affairs at a round table.
Thus, the Round Table also represented the meanings of "Equality" and "Unity"!
At the moment those twelve figures appeared, the expressions on all the viewers' faces immediately became unsettled.』
『 .....』
〜In the Worldline of Fifth Holy Grail War〜
Artoria stared at everything on the screen.
A look of surprise also appeared on her face.
Undoubtedly, she immediately recognized the twelve figures on the screen.
"That sword…"
In this moment, she understood completely.
It seemed that the version of herself in the other world was not only of a different gender, but even his Noble Phantasm was somewhat different from hers.
After all, she did not need the approval of the other Knights of the Round Table to activate her Noble Phantasm, but it was obvious that the King of Knights on the screen required it.
"However, it really does surprise me. I didn't expect to be able to see everyone from the Round Table on the screen."
—
At this very moment, the group chat also began to discuss.
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Romani Archaman: Those twelve figures… could they be the Knights of the Round Table? ]
[ Emiya Shirou: It looks like this must be that other world's King of Knight's Anti-Star Noble Phantasm. I wonder what kind of Noble Phantasm it will be. ]
[ El-Melloi II: If it is an Anti-Star Noble Phantasm, perhaps it really could defeat this Anti-Civilization Noble Phantasm. However, this Noble Phantasm looks a bit different from the King of Knight's Holy Sword. ]
[ .....]
Just as all the viewers were buzzing with discussion, the content on the screen continued to play.
『 After those twelve phantom images appeared, they emitted incomparably solemn voices.
"This is a battle to save a life. Kay, approved."
"This is a battle against one mightier than oneself. Bedivere, approved."
"This is a battle of one-on-one. Palamedes, approved."
"This is a battle not against humanity. Gaheris, approved."
"This is a battle for the sake of truth. Agravain, approved."
"This is a battle not against Elementals. Lancelot, approved."
"This is a battle against evil. Mordred, approved."
"This is a battle without personal desire. Galahad, approved."
At this moment, accompanied by these voices, the radiance on the Holy Sword became increasingly dazzling.
And the magical energy on Arthur's body grew stronger and stronger.
"This is a battle for honor. Gawain, approved."
"This is a battle alongside the brave. Tristan, approved."
"This is a battle not against the good. Gareth, approved."
"This is a battle to save the world. Arthur, approved!"
As these words fell.
Finally, the thirteen restraints on this Holy Sword were completely and utterly released at this moment.
In this instant, the Holy Sword fully unleashed the power that a Divine Construct should originally possess.
"BOOM—!"
A light that pierced the heavens flickered across the entire screen!
Accompanying this commotion, the magical energy on Arthur's body became increasingly terrifying.
At the same time, the Invisible Air that had been wrapped around the Sword of Promised Victory disappeared. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
In this moment, all the viewers saw clearly the true appearance of this Star Holy Sword.
Right now, accompanied by that blinding light, countless waves of magical energy surged ceaselessly through the air!
And the Heroic Spirits and Mages of all worlds watched the activity on the screen with immense shock.
This was the true power of that Holy Sword unleashed…
An Anti-Star Noble Phantasm!
Naturally, this sparked a discussion among all the viewers.
At the same time, a trace of confusion emerged in the minds of all the viewers.
It seemed that the Holy Sword of the King of Knights from that world was different from the Holy Sword in their memories.
It was actually a Holy Sword that possessed restraints…
.....
〜In the Worldline of ██████ Chaldea〜
"Lancelot, Gawain, Mordred… truly a group of very famous Servants."
Hearing these names, she immediately reacted. Those twelve phantoms must be the Knights of the Round Table led by the King of Knights!
However, at the same time, she was incredibly surprised deep down.
She really hadn't expected that the King of Knight's Noble Phantasm required the acknowledgment of the Knights of the Round Table to achieve maximum release.
And such a restriction was arguably too great.
"Based on the restrictions of this Noble Phantasm… that means under normal circumstances, it's impossible to unleash the full power of this Noble Phantasm. I don't know whether to say that King of Heroes is unlucky or lucky to have actually triggered King Arthur's world-saving buff."
At this point, Da Vinci also found it hard to keep a straight face.
Originally, under such harsh conditions, it would be very difficult to trigger the Holy Sword's buff bonuses.
The result was that the King of Heroes, despite having clearly already won, just had to bring out his final sword to end it all.
And as a result, because he was too serious, he triggered the enemy's buff.
Yare yare, this must be the first King of Heroes to lose from being too serious, right?
Thinking of this, several people couldn't hold back their amusement, truly incredibly curious about what kind of reaction the King of Heroes would have upon seeing such a scene.
〜In the Inner Sea of the planet, in the furthest tower〜
Merlin watched everything on the screen and shook his head with a smile. He wasn't surprised by this scene in the slightest.
"King of Heroes, you chose the wrong enemy."
He knew the truth of the Noble Phantasm in the Holy Swordsman's hand better than anyone.
That was the ultimate weapon forged by the planet itself.
It was the strongest sword, originally intended solely to save the world. And if such a weapon were used as a personal armament, it would be far too powerful.
Precisely because of this, the King of Knights of a certain ancient kingdom and his twelve knights established strict laws for the Holy Sword and enforced them.
And these were the Thirteen Restraints of the Round Table. This was the second scabbard hiding the Holy Sword's true blade.
Under normal circumstances, the sword could not display its original power.
Only in situations where multiple glories and missions could be achieved would the Holy Sword be released…
And to fully release this Noble Phantasm meant needing the approval of more than half of the Knights of the Round Table.
That is to say, a resolution count of at least seven was required to release this Noble Phantasm.
And that King of Heroes' Sword of the End undoubtedly triggered all the buffs of this Holy Sword.
"Take a good look. What is being displayed on the screen now is the radiance of the Holy Sword, fully and completely released!"
At this moment, Merlin completely set his mind at ease.
Under such a Noble Phantasm, that Sword of the End was nothing to fear!
—
And at this moment, the Heroic Spirits and Mages of all worlds couldn't help but discuss it in the group chat.
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Mordred (Saber): Wait a minute, this Noble Phantasm is undoubtedly Father's Noble Phantasm, right? Does the male Father actually need to get our approval to release this Noble Phantasm, just like the Holy Lance? ]
[ Sherlock Holmes (Ruler): I see. The King of Knights from the other world is also a Holy Sword User. The Holy Sword in his hand is the ultimate weapon forged by the planet—the Star Holy Sword. ]
[ Aozaki Aoko: …The Star Holy Sword. It is said to be a radiant Holy Sword created to save the planet. Its immense power is said to be capable of defeating external enemies attempting to destroy the stars… It can be said to be one of the most powerful Noble Phantasms! I didn't expect to be able to see the radiance of the Holy Sword on this screen. ]
[ Waver Velvet: If it's such a powerful Noble Phantasm, perhaps it really can defeat that King of Heroes and resolve all of this. ]
[ .....]
『 Back to the screen.
In this moment, powerful magical energy surged from Arthur's body. Simultaneously, intense wind pressure appeared across the entire field.
Carrying everyone's expectations, under the gaze of the multitudes!
The Holy Sword in Arthur's hand blossomed with incomparably blinding light.
At the same time, an endless stream of magical energy condensed upon the Holy Sword.
And this massive commotion not only surprised the audience, but even the King of Heroes on the screen revealed an expression of astonishment.
He couldn't help but utter in a tone of disbelief.
"A Holy Sword User!!?"
And just as everyone was in shock, there was no fluctuation on Arthur's face.
He simply looked calmly at the world-destroying Great Flood before him.
The magical energy on his body had already turned into golden energy fluctuations.
Layer after layer hissed and roared, and his hair swayed slightly under these energy fluctuations.
"This is A BATTLE TO SAVE THE WORLD!!!"
As these words fell.
Immediately, that golden energy light condensed into a golden torrent.
Then… Arthur raised the Holy Sword in his hand high.
"EX….. CALIBUR—!!!"
⦍ Sword of Promised Victory ⦎
Accompanying this voice, the Holy Sword in his hand swung down viciously.
In the next second, that golden torrent suddenly erupted with terrifying power…
The flood summoned by the Sword of the End was ceaselessly devouring everything.
However, under this golden torrent, an incredibly shocking thing happened.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of all the viewers, the flood that originally sought to devour everything, upon soaking in this torrent of magical energy, actually began to evaporate bit by bit.
At this very moment.
The endless golden torrent ceaselessly bombarded the flood!
Under this terrifying torrent of power, the surface of that terrifying tsunami exploded violently.
Terrifying heat spread ceaselessly, and very quickly, the water's surface was evaporated drop by drop by this terrifying power!
And after evaporating the surrounding flood completely clean, this magical energy actually still had power to spare.
Ceaselessly releasing extremely terrifying pressure, a beam of golden light shot straight into the clouds!
Golden energy radiated ceaselessly.
Who knows how much time passed…
That golden energy seemed to lose its source and gradually dissipated.
The scene on the screen also returned to a calm image.』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
But in this moment, the Heroic Spirits and Mages of all worlds could no longer remain calm.
Because under this terrifying strike, the tsunami that seemed capable of devouring everything had actually evaporated completely clean.
And the figure of that other world's Gilgamesh had long since disappeared.
Perhaps he fled the place, or perhaps he was evaporated along with that terrifying Noble Phantasm.
In short, seeing such a scene, the Heroic Spirits and Mages of all worlds could no longer remain calm.
At this moment, they had to marvel at the power of a so-called Anti-Star Noble Phantasm…
And under such an image, the entire screen gradually dimmed, announcing the end of the entire video.
After a brief silence, all the viewers couldn't help but express their opinions on this Noble Phantasm.
.....
〜In the Worldline of Fourth Holy Grail War〜
After remaining silent for a long while, Tohsaka Tokiomi finally spoke his opinion with difficulty.
"This is the power of the fully released Holy Sword… Even that flood sufficient to destroy civilization was evaporated completely clean in an instant…!"
Even he had to marvel that this was the power of that Star Holy Sword User, this was an Anti-Star Noble Phantasm!
While feeling shocked, he also felt a trace of relief in his heart.
Fortunately, the Heroic Spirit summoned by that Magus was not this kind of King Arthur.
Otherwise, facing such an opponent, they would have a tremendous headache.
And beside him, the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, looked at the scene on the screen and also fell silent.
"So this is the Star Holy Sword…"
Even the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, had to marvel at the power of the King of Knights on the screen.
That fellow was indeed no ordinary mongrel…
Although his Gate of Babylon indeed possessed endless Noble Phantasms.
Regrettably, neither the King of Knight's Holy Sword nor the Holy Lance existed in his treasury.
The reason was simple: because those two items did not have any prototype; they were Noble Phantasms forged by the planet.
So naturally, he did not possess such Noble Phantasms.
"I suppose it lives up to the name of an Anti-Star Noble Phantasm…"
However, even so, he didn't feel that Noble Phantasm could be mentioned in the same breath as himself.
After all, that Noble Phantasm possessed extremely severe restrictions, completely incomparable to his Sword of Rupture, Ea…
And at this moment, the Heroic Spirits, seeing that scene, were completely and utterly shocked.
Such powerful might; they finally understood why that ancient king placed thirteen restraints on this Holy Sword.
If there were no such restrictions, and he casually blasted a big crater in the earth…
That would indeed be a bit frightening.

[ Mordred (Saber): I said it, didn't I? There's absolutely no need to worry about how Goldie could possibly beat my Father. But it does surprise me a bit—since when did the Holy Sword have restraints? If I remember correctly, shouldn't it be the Holy Lance? ]
[ Lancelot (Saber): This is likely the difference between the two worlds… After all, in that world, my King is even male. Who knows what other interesting things exist in that world? ]
[ Tohsaka Rin: Compared to this, I care more about that Goldie. If he hadn't used that Noble Phantasm, he should have already won this battle, right? Yet he insisted on using that Noble Phantasm. ]
[ .....]
" In Between "
〜In the Worldline of Fifth Holy Grail War〜
Tohsaka Rin suddenly couldn't keep a straight face.
In her view, Proto-Gil, who had originally steadily secured the victory of this battle, had absolutely no need to use that Noble Phantasm.
The result was that he insisted on bringing it out to show off, triggered the opponent's world-saving buff, and got the tables turned on him.
This was simply too tragic…
—
[ Cu Chulainn (Lancer): It really is hard to keep a straight face. This must be the first Goldie to fail because he was too serious. I can only say that whether he's serious or not serious, he's destined to eat dirt. ]
[ Illyasviel Von Einzbern: I have to say, when it comes to entertainment value, it has to be you, King of Heroes… ]
[ .....]
And just as all the viewers were discussing animatedly, a brand new video was also brewing…
