"Ah!"
Gorgon, completely enraged by humiliation, manipulated the snake heads formed from her hair.
Magical energy beams erupted ceaselessly.
In an instant, more than ten beams crossed through the air, weaving into a dense net that sealed off all directions.
She intended to trap Emiya Shirou within it.
To end him in a single sweep.
But under god-speed, those attacks were unbearably slow.
So slow that Emiya Shirou didn't even need to consciously think.
He simply flew.
Threading through the narrow gaps between beams with effortless precision.
Absolute speed advantage was terrifying.
And overwhelming.
At the same time, Emiya Shirou never stopped counterattacking.
The magical energy inside his body circulated continuously.
Projections formed one after another.
Swords.
Spears.
Blades of all shapes.
Under god-speed, surrounding Gorgon with armaments was almost trivial.
Wherever Emiya Shirou passed, rows of projected weapons appeared.
All aimed at her.
The next instant, they fired.
A storm of steel.
Gorgon's body was struck head-on.
In a blink, she was pierced by ten thousand swords.
Armaments densely embedded into her flesh, covering her body completely.
But even so-
Emiya Shirou felt nothing change.
Her aura did not weaken.
Not even slightly.
"So fast...?"
Looking at the countless weapons surrounding her, Gorgon reacted immediately.
She spread her wings forward to shield her front.
At the same time, the serpents of her hair coiled behind her, forming a second layer of defense.
A violent shockwave erupted outward.
The armaments that had pierced her body were forcefully expelled.
They shot in all directions.
"Don't look down on me!"
Gorgon roared as she spread her wings wide.
The expelled weapons flew chaotically through the air.
Emiya Shirou retreated instantly, avoiding the scattered armaments.
"Is it really impossible to take her down like this...?"
"Senior, be careful!"
Mash, who had already returned to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, raised her shield without hesitation.
She blocked in front of Ritsuka.
"Tsk. What a troublesome undying nature."
Dodging Gorgon's next wave of magical energy beams with ease, Emiya Shirou calmly assessed the situation.
In Fujimaru Ritsuka's frightened gaze-
Gorgon's body, which had been riddled with holes only moments ago, was already healing.
The wounds closed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In mere seconds, her body returned to its original state.
Perfect.
Emiya Shirou flashed past her line of sight.
He caught a glimpse of her face, twisted with rage.
The corner of his mouth lifted slightly.
"Her immortality is a pain."
"But it's not unmanageable."
"I can project Ana's weapon."
"In the end, speed really is king."
"As long as I'm fast enough, even a goddess can't touch me."
"I can't kill her right now..."
"So I'll beat her back."
His gaze swept across the soldiers nearby.
They were tense.
Fearful.
Shaken by the presence of a goddess.
And because of that-
Emiya Shirou activated the authority of the Goat Incarnation.
He already knew the future's trajectory.
He knew Ana's weapon was Gorgon's natural counter.
He knew Ana herself could neutralize Gorgon's Mystic Eyes of Petrification.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others would have no chance of defeating her.
He raised his voice.
"Lightning."
"Lightning."
"Lightning."
"I am the conqueror who defeats a hundred with ten, a thousand with a hundred, ten thousand with a thousand."
"For the sake of justice I stand for, grant me divine power."
"Shine."
"Crush all hostility and enemies."
"This body is the instrument."
"Guardian of righteousness, I invite you."
"Guardian of righteousness, I praise you and make my wish."
"One who supports the sky and pioneers the earth."
"One who bestows victory and grace."
"I walk the path of justice-"
"Grant me the correct road and light."
"Subjugate the unrighteous."
"Subjugate the wicked."
"By the art of kotodama."
"This is the heavenly rule of victory."
"Subjugate the Goddess!"
"Subjugate the Goddess!"
As Emiya Shirou's incantation echoed, every soldier present heard his voice.
Their hearts stirred.
Their spirits surged.
The sky darkened.
Clouds gathered rapidly.
Lightning flashed within the blackened heavens.
This was the power of the Goat Incarnation.
"Subjugate the Goddess!"
Someone shouted.
Then another.
Soon, the voices merged into one.
Louder.
Clearer.
Unified.
"Take this, Goddess."
"This is the shared will of all soldiers."
Wrapped in lightning, Emiya Shirou accelerated again.
Under god-speed, he pierced through beam after beam of magical energy.
Straight toward Gorgon.
When aligned with the thoughts of companions and the masses-
The God Slayer could gather mental force and life force through powerful perception.
Transforming it into lightning.
Turning collective fear and unease into destructive magical energy.
That was the condition.
And it was fulfilled.
Gorgon understood instantly.
This attack was-
Extremely dangerous.
Emiya Shirou's speed alone was already terrifying.
Now, enhanced by lightning-
"Don't come any closer!"
Gorgon screamed.
She flailed her arms wildly, striking toward him.
Magical energy beams.
Mystic Eye attacks.
All avoided.
All meaningless.
From the depths of her being, she knew it.
She couldn't stop this blow.
"Ugh-AAAAAH!"
She was driven backward, struck again and again.
Her massive body was forced into retreat.
But Emiya Shirou remained untouched.
He plunged forward.
Straight into her chest.
Driving her back across the ground.
Sliding.
Crashing.
Gorgon's undying nature activated continuously.
Her body repaired itself even as it was pierced.
But this time-
She felt it.
She was about to be completely penetrated.
Normally, that wouldn't matter.
She wouldn't fear it.
But now-
Lightning ravaged her body.
And for the first time, she felt it.
Her undying nature was being suppressed.
"I haven't taken revenge yet..."
"I haven't destroyed humanity..."
"I can't die here!"
"Kingu!"
Fear burst from her heart.
True fear.
"No-no-this is bad!"
"I'll really die!"
Emiya Shirou had injured Kingu earlier.
Kingu's flight speed was far inferior to god-speed.
He arrived late.
But-
He arrived.
"I'm here, Mother!"
Kingu's voice rang out.
"Don't think about hurting Mother!"
Chains of Heaven burst through the air.
They erupted from all directions, shooting toward Emiya Shirou.
With Kingu's arrival, the Holy Grail's enhancement on Gorgon fully activated.
The suppressed immortality surged back.
Restored.
"Tsk."
Emiya Shirou clicked his tongue.
"So this is the limit."
He flashed away, dodging the Chains of Heaven.
In the next moment, he landed atop the Northern Wall.
The clash ended abruptly.
The fierce battle came to a halt.
But with Kingu's arrival-
The pressure in the air only grew heavier.
The conflict was far from over.
