The old man of the mountain suddenly turned crimson, and carrying the sword of death, he slowly walked towards Sesshouin Kihara, bringing down judgment upon the demonic bodhisattva.

"A savior bodhisattva who chases happiness? He's just a Buddhist who's gone astray. He's going in the wrong direction, and the harder he tries, the bigger the mistake he'll make."

The embodiment of death raised his greatsword, his pale skull mask revealing his final mercy, while a golden mechanical clock announced the countdown to the end.

"Boom—!"

When the pale light burst forth, the intense aura of death emanating from the Sword of Death even attracted a portion of the decadent wind to entwine around it.

The old man of the mountain noticed this change and felt that his understanding of death had deepened, and that he would be able to completely control the decadent trend sooner or later.

As the sword of death descended, Sesshouin Kihara calmed down, gazing up at the approaching blade with a mesmerizing intensity.

"Ah, that's nice... Being defeated by a Grand Assassin who is no weaker than a Sage is a kind of happiness that's not so bad..."

..........................................

Type-Moon world.

After the demonic bodhisattva was banished, the Earth's surface quickly returned to normal under the influence of corrective forces.

Apart from those who remained conscious during the happy day, no one had any memory of the disaster that had struck.

Although the Greater Grail located in the underground palace has been destroyed, the tumultuous Holy Grail War is far from over.

After all, the struggle for the Holy Grail was not the main point; the monarchs of the Clock Tower returned to their normal state of struggle after surviving the disaster.

Thanks to Sesshouin Kiara's rampage, the noble faction, which was originally at a significant disadvantage, has finally turned the tide and has hope of victory.

Due to the failure of the Holy Grail War system, Gray has lost her Servant powers, and Ad has fallen into a deep sleep after the restrictions were lifted.

Miyamoto Musashi's existence became unstable due to overuse of his power, and it seemed that if he dared to exert any more force, he would be immediately teleported away.

In this way, only Ainz Ooal Gown remains of the democratic faction with the ability to fight, and he will inevitably have to fight against Gilgamesh, the only remaining member of the noble faction.

So, after a day of rest, Caster and Archer met again on the seventh night of the final battle, inside the Spirit Tomb.

After recuperating, Gilgamesh, thanks to the Gate of Babylon, has recovered to a state of perfect health and vitality.

She looked at Ainz Ooal Gown standing opposite her, and her raised chin straightened involuntarily, her attitude extremely solemn.

Aside from not activating the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star, Gilgamesh has decided to use every means at her disposal in tonight's battle.

Although she owed Caster a favor, Gilgamesh would not give up her victory so easily.

Ainz Ooal Gown didn't care about this; he saved Jillgamesh so that she would pull out the sword Ea.

That way, he can keep some cards up his sleeve, which he might be able to use tonight.

"Caster, do you need me to give you time to construct a base or workshop? You can arrange it however you like."

“Archer, you don’t need to make unnecessary probes. I’m not very good at positional warfare.”

Gilgamesh smiled, neither refuting Ainz Ooal Gown's retort nor becoming angry about it.

Although she had already witnessed the Beast III's methods when fighting against it, she still wanted to be cautious to avoid any mishaps.

In the eyes of the King of Heroes, Caster was indeed like a magician when it came to scheming, but his fighting style was very simple and brutal.

This combination of roughness and subtlety makes it difficult to discern the opponent's true intentions, and one careless move could lead to falling into a well-designed trap.

Therefore, dealing with this kind of guy should never take too long; the most effective way to break through his schemes is to crush him with even stronger violence.

Therefore, after confirming that the battle had begun, Gilgamesh immediately summoned the Royal Key and took out the Ea sword, which she usually used to make a grand finale appearance.

Seeing this, Ainz Ooal Gown had no choice but to abandon Operation Plan One and switch directly to Operation Plan Nine Nine Nine, choosing to reveal a trump card.

Suddenly, a silver-white double-edged steel sword appeared in his hand. The thick blade was like a scimitar, the so-called strongest steel.

Previously, if Gilgamesh had failed to sever the Devil Bodhisattva's Paradise, then Ainz Ooal Gown would have had no choice but to draw his savior sword.

"The Divine Blade of Salvation! This battle is a war to punish the tyrant!"

With the support of magic, the Savior Blade shone with a platinum-gold radiance.

Jillgamesh then swiftly unleashed Ea and hurled it at Ainz Ooal Gown.

"Narrating the origin... The time for judgment has come. With my sword of discord, I will tear the world apart—and thus be buried, star that created the world of discord!"

The space of the Spirit Grave was torn apart by the Ea, while Ainz Ooal Gown stood rooted to the spot, calmly swinging the divine sword from another world.

This sword is a supreme artifact forged by the Earth Mother Goddess in collaboration to defeat the God-Slaying Demon King, and it was also the sword once possessed by the strongest Steel Hero God.

"All my actions are righteous, even if they cause the earth to become barren, the rivers to dry up, and the sky to become chaotic, I will still unhesitatingly display the mighty power of this blade!"

The platinum-gold burst of light sliced ​​through the red storm, and the divine blade, possessing the power to cleave stars, unleashed its domineering and unparalleled might without restraint.

With a single strike, it pierced through hundreds of layers of the Spirit Tomb, directly penetrating the untouched Fairy Realm, thus bringing the seven-day Holy Grail War to an end.

Lian-di 798 Zhang Gongben Musashi: See you next time~ *

Ainz Ooal Gown sheathed his sword, and the trembling silver-white divine blade slowly lost its platinum-gold brilliance, transforming once again into a rusty piece of ordinary iron. No one could tell that it could unleash the power to cleave stars.

"Now, perhaps I should be a little bit stronger, King of Heroes."

Gazing at the bottomless, dark pit before him, Ainz Ooal Gown muttered to himself, but Gilgamesh, who had already left the scene, could not offer an answer.

"Looks like I'm not needed..."

As he spoke, Miyamoto Musashi jumped down from a nearby tree.

"Well, it doesn't really matter, winning is enough."

To ensure victory, Miyamoto Musashi was prepared to deliver a fatal blow even if she were teleported away on the spot, but Ainz Ooal Gown did not give her that chance and ended the battle decisively.

There was no way around it; Gilgamesh had to pull out his trump card right from the start, forcing Ainz Ooal Gown to reveal his own as well. The two clashed with deadly attacks right from the start, and Miyamoto Musashi was almost accidentally injured by the aftershocks.

Even now, Miyamoto Musashi still feels lingering fear, feeling that if she had been even slightly grazed by the Ea or the Divine Sword, she would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

"The King of Heroes is too arrogant. He thinks he can sweep away all opponents with Ea, but there are still many Heroic Spirits who can defeat him."

Ainz Ooal Gown did not become arrogant after his victory. While defeating a strong opponent was certainly something to celebrate, he must not become complacent or conceited, otherwise he would be the one to suffer defeat next time.

"Ultimately, it's because the Gate of Babylon is too versatile and convenient, allowing the King of Heroes to make the best response on the spot without needing to gather intelligence about the enemy in advance, thus making him lose his caution and vigilance."

If Gilgamesh had taken the battle with absolute seriousness from the moment she arrived, it would have been hard to say who would have emerged victorious.

But Ainz Ooal Gown knew that this was impossible, unless the one summoned by Kilshtaria was the Wise King, otherwise the result would be the same.

In fact, the Hero King during the Wise King era was also arrogant, but he would prioritize completing tasks and even restrain his willfulness and temper for this purpose. In contrast, the Hero Kings during other eras were mostly self-centered pleasure-seekers.

"Only you could say that. I've never had an easy time fighting Archer. Just dealing with her endless Noble Phantasm attacks is exhausting enough, let alone getting close enough to pose a real threat to her."

As he spoke, Miyamoto Musashi walked to the edge of the pit, put his hands on his hips and looked down. Even with his eyesight strained, he couldn't see the bottom. So he kicked a rock down, but after waiting for a long time, he couldn't hear the echo of it hitting the bottom.

Then, the female swordswoman turned her head and curiously examined the savior sword in Ainz Ooal Gown's hand, her eyes filled with undisguised amazement.

However, it was merely a feeling of amazement, without any envy or desire.

As a swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi naturally loved famous swords, but she never tried to collect them. Only what suited her was the best. She also had a deep bond with her beloved swords, which she spent every day with.

If Miyamoto Musashi had abandoned his original sword without hesitation to pursue a new weapon simply because he had seen a stronger one, he would never have become a sword saint, because that would have been putting the cart before the horse.

Seeing Miyamoto Musashi's curiosity, Ainz Ooal Gown was generous and tossed the world-saving sword to her, letting the female swordswoman take it and appreciate it.

Miyamoto Musashi gladly accepted the long sword, first rubbing it with his hand, then flicking it a few times with his fingers, before gripping it and demonstrating a set of sword techniques.

"I've never seen this material before, and I've never seen this forging technique before either. It feels like the forger was an amateur. This knife... seems to be just a vessel."

Although Miyamoto Musashi did not know how to forge swords, he had seen others wield a hammer even though he had never done it before. Coupled with his rich experience in using swords, he quickly saw through the true nature of the savior sword and couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

"That's right. This is a divine sword forged by a group of Earth Mother Goddesses in order to fight against the God-Slaying Demon King. They really don't know anything about forging and smelting."

Ainz Ooal Gown made no attempt to conceal the origin of the Savior Blade. In any case, no information related to it could be found in the Type-Moon world. Jillgamesh was probably bewildered on the Throne of Heroes, frantically searching through the Gate of Babylon to find the original text of the Savior Blade.

Now, Miyamoto Musashi completely lost interest in the savior sword and returned it to Ainz Ooal Gown. Suddenly, her body lit up with white light, and her body gradually became transparent and ethereal.

"Oh no, is it time? Looks like this is the limit. I'm about to be teleported to a new parallel world..."

Miyamoto Musashi smiled wryly, scratched his head helplessly, looked up at Ainz Ooal Gown, and made a sincere request with his hands clasped together.

"Excuse me, could you please say goodbye to everyone for me? Although we encountered many thrilling and unexpected events during this short journey, we also successfully saved the world. It was truly an unprecedented experience!"

Miyamoto Musashi laughed heartily. The valiant female swordsman never wanted to shed tears when parting; instead, she preferred to say goodbye with a smile.

"If there's another chance in the future, let's meet again..."

"Rest assured, I will definitely help you deliver your message, I swear in the name of Ainz Ooal Gown."

After receiving the assurance, Miyamoto Musashi vanished in an instant, just as abruptly as she had appeared on the streets of England.

Ainz Ooal Gown stood there for a long time, watching the spot where Miyamoto Musashi had disappeared, bidding farewell to the traveler who had drifted to who-knows-where, but one day Miyamoto Musashi would reach his own end.

"We've gone back. The Greater Grail was destroyed, and although the Lesser Grail survived, it has lost its effectiveness."

Ainz Ooal Gown didn't feel any regret, after all, the Holy Grail had never played a positive role, but instead indirectly caused a lot of trouble, causing countless people to die without their knowledge.

"From then on, there was no more Holy Grail War between the three starter families."

Just as Ainz Ooal Gown was about to leave using a high-level teleportation spell, a golden flash that suddenly appeared out of nowhere made him stop in his tracks.

Meanwhile, a negotiation within the democratic faction was taking place at the Suzuki Mansion.

"Lord El-Melloi II, and Miss Reines, let's make a deal..."

As the initiator of the negotiations, Sakura Suzuki spoke with a smile, frankly stating her intentions.

"I am willing to exchange the operating rights of the Mineral Science Department for the operating rights of the Modern Magic Department. What do you two think?"

Upon hearing this, Reines and El-Melloi II were both taken aback, clearly not expecting Suzuki Sakura to suddenly propose such a plan.

Although the modern Magic Department has flourished under the rule of El-Melloi II, it is still no match for the long-established mainstream department of Minerals. The two are worlds apart in terms of history, heritage, scale, and other aspects.

Otherwise, Monarch Meastia wouldn't have chosen to become Zhao Da, taking advantage of the El-Melloi family's orphans and widows who were powerless to protect their ancestral legacy.

Previously, House El-Melloi was leaderless, and even if the various branches wanted to reclaim the Minerals Division, they were no match for House Meastia. However, after Reines was elected as the head of the family and Waver became El-Melloi II, the calls within the family to reclaim the Minerals Division grew louder and louder.

If it weren't for Waver, Reines, and some clear-headed family elders keeping things in check, the conflict between the El-Melloi and Mayastia families would have erupted long ago during a minor skirmish, and the El-Melloi family, still recovering from their initial shock, would never have emerged victorious.

Now, due to the sudden death of Monarch Meastia, the Meastia family has fallen into the same chaos and disintegration that the El-Melloi family once experienced, giving the suppressed radical mages within the El-Melloi family a glimmer of hope to reclaim the Minerals Department.

However, in the Grand Order decision, as compensation for Monarch Mayastia's damage to the Greater Grail, the Minerals were transferred to Suzuki Sakura by Monarch Barthemello.
