The moment Emiya Shirou arrived, a massive presence filled his vision.
A colossal divine body loomed before him.
Its upper half was humanoid.
Its lower half stretched endlessly, a serpentine form coiled with overwhelming mass.
Even her hair had become living snakes, each pair of eyes locking onto Emiya Shirou the instant he appeared.
"And who are you?"
Gorgon's voice was low, heavy.
"To think I'd sense danger from you of all people."
She had not taken the others seriously before.
Not even a little.
But Emiya Shirou was different.
Floating near her face, Kingu spoke calmly.
"Mother, he's the demigod I told you about before."
"The one who can wield Authorities."
"So it's you."
Understanding dawned in Gorgon's eyes.
Her gaze sharpened as she stared directly at Emiya Shirou.
"Have you come to oppose me as well?"
"That goes without saying."
Emiya Shirou's voice was steady.
"You said it yourself."
"I'm a demigod."
"Human blood flows through my body."
"So naturally, I fight for humanity."
"Well said, Senior Shirou!"
Beside him, Fujimaru Ritsuka clenched her fists and shouted, unable to contain her excitement.
Emiya Shirou turned his head slightly.
"Isn't that obvious?"
But before he could continue, something caught his attention.
Merlin.
He was standing behind Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash.
Hiding.
Emiya Shirou's expression shifted.
Merlin noticed immediately.
Just as he was about to say something in his own defense, Emiya Shirou spoke first.
"Mash. Ritsuka. Ana."
"Protect Merlin."
"Retreat slowly."
"Do not let him die here."
"And absolutely do not let him be caught by her Mystic Eyes."
"Yes!"
They didn't fully understand.
But they didn't hesitate.
Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka moved at once, placing themselves firmly in front of Merlin.
Ana also shifted closer, positioning herself protectively.
Watching them move, Emiya Shirou felt a flicker of self-reproach.
He had almost forgotten.
Gorgon's Mystic Eyes of Petrification were devastating.
Especially to Merlin.
Merlin didn't fear death.
But he couldn't die here.
If Merlin died now, Tiamat's seal would break.
And the final battle would begin.
This wasn't the time.
Raising his head, Emiya Shirou looked at the divine monster towering before him.
His fighting spirit surged.
"An incredible divine body."
"If that's the case..."
"I'll counter size with size."
He moved first.
"I am the strongest, the one who holds all victory in hand."
"To all enemies I face, I crush their hostility."
"I will crush any enemy that blocks my way!"
The incantation echoed.
The Authority of the Ten Incarnations responded.
Normally, with Little Rimuru at his side, Emiya Shirou didn't need to chant.
But now, Little Rimuru was stationed at the Northern Wall.
So he spoke the words in full.
As the incantation completed, the divinity within his body erupted.
His state rose sharply.
Dramatically.
And what now stood before Gorgon-
Was a divine beast rivaling her own massive scale.
"Thou hast violated the pact and brought sin upon the world."
"The Lord declares-sinners shall be punished."
"Their spines shall be crushed."
"Their bones, hair, and brains torn apart."
"Their blood ground together with the mud."
"If I am the Sharpened Fang none may approach..."
"Then obey the Lord's command."
"And grant the hammer of destruction to the pact-breaker!"
As the Boar Incarnation's incantation rang out, the ground beneath Emiya Shirou shattered into darkness.
Behind him, the earth turned pitch black.
A gate opened.
A passage connected to another world.
From it-
A gigantic boar burst forth.
Its body thundered forward, crashing straight toward the serpent goddess.
"Bang-!"
"Ugh-aaah!"
Caught completely off guard, Gorgon was smashed head-on.
Her massive body was knocked backward.
Even with her strength, she couldn't halt the charge.
The Boar Incarnation was wrapped in a shockwave barrier.
Under that overwhelming impact, Gorgon's unstable lower body was flung away.
"Retreat! Now!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others desperately wanted to keep watching.
But Emiya Shirou's earlier command echoed in their minds.
They didn't linger.
They withdrew immediately.
Watching their figures disappear, Kingu slowly looked away.
Killing Merlin was important.
Extremely important.
But he lacked the Mystic Eyes of Petrification.
Without a way to restrain Merlin, pursuit was pointless.
If that was the case, it was better to remain here.
To stay with Mother.
Though, knowing her temperament...
She probably wouldn't allow him to interfere anyway.
Kingu let out a quiet sigh.
"You bastard!"
Facing the endlessly charging Boar Incarnation, Gorgon's eyes flashed.
A demonic light erupted.
In an instant, the massive boar turned to stone.
Frozen mid-motion.
A petrified statue.
"Tsk."
Emiya Shirou clicked his tongue.
"Those eyes are dangerous."
Gorgon's Mystic Eyes were ranked A++.
At that level, there was almost nothing they couldn't petrify.
"I can't let her catch my gaze."
The decision was immediate.
Emiya Shirou charged.
Even though the Boar Incarnation had been petrified, the buffs it granted hadn't faded.
During its activation, Emiya Shirou gained god-realm charging speed.
Under that acceleration, he vanished.
And appeared.
Right beside Gorgon.
"I am the strongest, the one who holds all victory in hand."
"Whether man or demon-"
"To all enemies I face, I crush their hostility."
"I will crush any enemy that blocks my way!"
"Bull with shining golden horns."
"Grant me your strength!"
The Bull Incarnation activated.
This Authority granted monstrous strength beyond physical limits.
And it didn't stop there.
It continuously reinforced his body.
More importantly-
The larger the opponent, the greater the strength it provided.
And Gorgon was massive.
Against her divine body, the power flooding into Emiya Shirou was overwhelming.
He reached out.
And grabbed her tail.
His fingers pierced straight through the armored scales.
They dug into flesh.
Blood.
Gorgon screamed in pain.
Kingu stared, horrified.
With a single motion, Emiya Shirou lifted.
And began to spin.
Gorgon's massive body was dragged off balance.
She was flung into rotation.
Unable to resist.
In mid-air.
At that moment, inertia robbed her of control.
She could only be swung.
Again.
And again.
As Emiya Shirou's rotation accelerated, the air itself twisted.
A massive storm formed around them.
"Mother!"
Kingu shouted, panic rising.
"He can't be allowed to keep spinning!"
He moved instantly.
The Chains of Heaven surged upward from beneath Emiya Shirou's feet.
Aimed to pierce.
But Emiya Shirou had never stopped watching him.
The instant Kingu acted, Emiya Shirou released his grip.
In the next moment-
The Avenger Gorgon was hurled straight into the sky.
