Chapter 1046

(Ozymandias)

【Time flies to two days later.】

【The chaotic battle at the Reiroukan estate ended with Berserker's exit, but Rider wouldn't give up so easily.】

【Above Tokyo Bay at night, a magnificent and majestic behemoth several kilometers long appeared out of thin air.】

【The triangular structure already indicated its origin, as well as the identity of the Servant manipulating it.】

【That's right, this is precisely the concrete image of Rider's heart and the royal authority he had in his lifetime, and also his greatest divine power, his strongest Noble Phantasm.】

【It looks like a vehicle, but it is actually a forbidden art in the world of magic—a Reality Marble!】

【This is a further multiple mixture of 'Dendera Temple,' 'Karnak Temple,' and other 'composite temple bodies composed of multiple temples,' plus huge temples or mausoleums such as 'Abu Simbel' and 'Ramesseum,' including temples that were not built in his lifetime, which cannot exist in reality—the 'Great Radiant Composite Temple'!】

【This represents that all temples of the past, present, and future exist for him, completely declaring his divine authority.】

Zabiko: "Good guy! What exactly is this..."

Kayneth: "To make such a big scene, completely ignoring the rules of secrecy."

Rin Tohsaka: "However, I always thought Reality Marbles were like Ionioi Hetairoi."

Extra Feng Xi: "Reality Marbles that manifest the miracles of one's lifetime are not rare; Ruler's Qin Shi Huang is like this."

Rin Tohsaka: "Eh? Is there?"

Iskandar: "Hahaha, I remember it vividly; it's the Great Wall of China, right?"

Qin Shi Huang: "That's right."

【"Whoosh!!!"】

【No declaration, no prelude, the attack began just like that.】

【Countless rays of light, like a sea of stars falling from the night sky into the sea, directly engulfed the artificial island below, making it the first victim.】

【The miracle is that no one died.】

【No, not causing the death of innocent people is also 'within consideration.'】

【The true owner and ruler of the temple body, that radiant person, achieved such a merciful act.】

【"... In this world, there is no one whose lament before death is heavier than mine."】

【In the deepest part of the composite temple body, on the throne of the main temple, Rider said uninterestedly.】

【Before becoming Rider, when he was still a Pharaoh, he disdained the legends told by priests, interpreted the whole world, mythology, and gods from his own perspective, and worshipped in his own way.】

【At that time, it seemed that everything in the world was his possession, and prosperity and happiness belonged exclusively to him.】

【However—he also had wishes he couldn't fulfill.】

【"I am supreme, perfect, unique, and must exist forever. Limited lifespan is my only tragedy. It forces me to be like a Pharaoh, helplessly fantasizing that I can be reborn at the end of distant time and embark on the path to becoming a god."】

【Beside him, there was no audience.】

【Perhaps, these words were said to the gods, or to himself.】

【"Therefore, I want to demand eternal life from the so-called Holy Grail. I am the true master of this world and must stand at the pinnacle of the world... The problem is, is this world worth me ruling?"】

【Is there any fun in this world?】

【At least in terms of battle, it's not bad.】

【Saber, Lancer, Archer, worthy of being called the three knights specially sealed by the Mage's Association, all are very powerful Heroic Spirits.】

【With my experience of countless victories, I can certainly get the same excitement from them as when I faced the Hittite army in the Levant.】

【However, that doesn't make much sense.】

Waver: "Levant, Hittite army... Could it be!"

Hartless: "Ah, it seems this person's identity is already very clear."

Kayneth: "Ramesses II—"

Shishigou: "Haha, if it's this legendary Pharaoh, it's not surprising that he has such strength."

Rin Tohsaka: "That, who is Ramesses II?"

For those who don't know Egyptian history, the only Pharaohs they might have heard of are Tutankhamun and Cleopatra.

Extra Feng Xi: "Ramesses II, true name Ozymandias, Pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty of Egypt, active in the 14th and 13th centuries BC, is ancient Egypt's most famous politician, military strategist, warrior, artist, architect, and economist."

Extra Feng Xi: "Let's put it this way, all Pharaohs of ancient Egypt were considered spokespersons for the gods, only Ramesses II was considered by the people to be the equivalent of the sun god Ra, which shows his status in the hearts of the ancient Egyptian people."

Rin Tohsaka: "Hiss! So this guy has such a big background!"

Blonde Rin: "It's simply like an Egyptian version of Gilgamesh."

Gilgamesh: "Hmph, such a mongrel is worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as me."

Extra Feng Xi: "(This mongrel is hiding in a tomb, but he is countering you to death)"

【"..."】

【On the roof of a building in the distance, Brynhildr stood there, watching the miracle flying in the sky.】

【Behind her, Archer appeared, having ended his spirit form.】

【According to her Master's request, she had already reached a temporary cooperation with Archer, deciding to defeat the strongest Ramesses II first.】

【"That bastard Rider, he's already sunk several military ships."】

【Seeing the rampaging Great Temple, Archer frowned deeply.】
