Chapter 177: Borrowed hope! Ally of justice?
🕑 Added 2025-07-28 03:05:01 +0000 UTC【 After Gilgamesh dealt with the white giant hand, the EA in his hand also stopped spinning. He then turned his head with a hint of pity towards Shirou Emiya, who had been attacked by the aftershock of EA, “Even I, the king, think I've shown mercy...” 】
【 “If I had known this, it would have been more worthwhile to keep Archer around for a bit longer, brat...” 】
【 At this moment, Shirou Emiya, who had endured the aftershock of EA below, seemed to have fainted, smashing a deep pit into the ground, and most of his clothes were torn. 】
【 。。。。。】
~Projection of All Worlds~
Even so, it made the people of other worlds marvel, because even if they were hit by an attack of this magnitude, their fate would probably not be much better.
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
Seeing this scene, Rin Tohsaka became worried.
No matter how strong Shirou Emiya was, he was still just a human and could not possibly defeat a Servant.
“Perhaps I should discuss countermeasures with Shirou in advance. That weapon called EA... is simply not something they can deal with.” Thinking of this, Rin Tohsaka turned to look for Shirou Emiya, and at this time, she might even be able to freeload a meal.
On the side, a certain enthusiastic citizen, Gilgamesh, after seeing this scene, looked slightly disappointed,
“Is that all?! It seems I overestimated him.”
It seems that even EA may not be needed to deal with him. Since the future me said that he had already shown mercy, that explains everything... A fake is always a fake and cannot be compared with the real thing.
I thought he would bring me different kinds of fun, but it's just this level... What a mongrel!
。。。。。
【 Even Gilgamesh on the screen, looking at Shirou Emiya lying motionless on the ground, said with disappointment, “Is this the end? As expected of a counterfeit, you can't save anything.” 】
【 “That ugly Archer also said it, didn't he? Your ideals are borrowed.” 】
【 “Someone who can't create anything themselves still wants to achieve something, how arrogant.” 】
【 Hearing this, Shirou Emiya woke up, gritting his teeth and looking at Gilgamesh above, his body trembling slightly, trying several times to move his body but still unable to move. 】
【 At this time, the screen showed the large hole in the sky again, with black mud still pouring down continuously, emitting ominous auras everywhere. 】
【 Gilgamesh looked at the awakened Shirou Emiya and directly mocked him, “Ally of justice? A world that doesn't hurt anyone? How ridiculous.” 】
【 “So-called humans are beasts who can only sing the praises of life through sacrifice. So-called equality is just the nonsense of the weak who cannot face the darkness.” 】
【 “Just a sophistry to cover up ugliness.” 】
【 。。。。。】
~Detective Conan World~
“Although I don't want to admit it, what he said makes sense. A world that doesn't hurt anyone is simply impossible.”
Conan put one hand in his pocket and pushed up his glasses with the other. Although his world was just an ordinary world without those superpowers,
countless people still die every day for various reasons... He neither supported nor opposed Gilgamesh's point of view.
A world that doesn't hurt anyone may not exist, but an ally of justice may exist!!...
I will use my reasoning to bring all criminals who harm others to justice.
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“Even if the ideals are borrowed, so what? That doesn't mean I have to give up.”
Shirou Emiya also clenched his fists tightly at this moment, looking at Gilgamesh on the screen.
Because of admiration, he picked up the ideals that Kiritsugu Emiya had abandoned—to become an ally of justice!
He remembered his words to Kiritsugu Emiya when he was a child:
“If Dad can't do it, then let me do it!”
There is nothing wrong with this path of wanting to help others, even if my ideals are borrowed, even if my life is full of hypocrisy, but... I still want to insist on becoming an ally of justice!!
。。。。。
【 There, where Shirou Emiya was lying on the ground, he looked at the hole in the sky and slowly stretched out his hand, conveying the thoughts in his heart. 】
【 『Yes, that's right, this ideal is borrowed. I just saw someone saving someone, and I imitated it.』 】
【 The scene changed to ten years ago, when he was a child, in a sea of fire, a boy also stretched out a small hand towards the hole in the sky that emitted a light blue light. 】
【 Shirou Emiya's inner words rang out again, 『At that time, my inner self was empty. Everyone would die equally, and no one could be saved.』 】
【 『If you can't accept that humans are like this, there is no way to continue living.』 】
【 『So...』 】
【 The scene began to change. Light yellow clouds were floating in the sky, and a sword fell directly from the sky! Then the scene came to night, with Kiritsugu Emiya wearing a kimono with his back to Shirou Emiya. 】
【 『That's why I admire such an ideal, is that not allowed?』 】
【 The young Shirou Emiya looked at Kiritsugu Emiya's back, his eyes flashing with admiration and full of longing. 】
【 『Because it's not my own feelings, is it a counterfeit? Because it's a counterfeit, is it impossible to touch it?is it』 】
【 『No, I think that's absolutely impossible, even if it's a counterfeit, even if it's an impossible dream.』 】
【 The scene came to a world floating with light yellow clouds again, and another sword fell to the ground. 】
【 Shirou Emiya's inner monologue became more and more impassioned. 『Even if I can't save everyone, I understand that only when someone sacrifices can someone be saved.』 】
【 “Clang—” Accompanied by the crisp sound of a sword, a sword was inserted straight into the soil. 】
【 『I already know that it is just an ideal, but I still continue to seek it.』 】
【 “Clang clang——!” In this twilight space, two more swords were inserted into the ground. 】
【 『In order to save the majority, I continue to harm the minority, even so, I still pursue the happiness of no one being hurt』 】
【 “Bang, bang, bang——” More and more swords gradually fell, until the last ones that fell in front of Shirou Emiya were the Kanshou and Bakuya that he used at the beginning. 】
【 『This is where he reached the end.』 】
【 The sword reflected Shirou Emiya's figure, and he inserted the sword into the ground. 】
【 『What you believe in, what you have believed in, its true face is hypocrisy, that man once said that.』 】
【 The Shirou Emiya reflected in the sword stood up at this moment, standing under this twilight, looking at the distant front. 】
【 『Even so, it was the man who said these words who carried out this hypocrisy to the end』 】
【 『Then, it's feasible, even if it's borrowed, it doesn't matter if I continue to be a counterfeit like this, I just need to be like this.』 】
【 『Shirou Emiya will continue to persist in this dream until the end, even if what is sought in front of it is only nothingness, I will…!!』 】
【 Back in reality, the green mark on Shirou Emiya's left arm vibrated slightly, “What, it's just like this.” 】
【 Shirou Emiya, who was lying on the ground, came back from his memories. he stretched out his hand, and then stood up. 】
【 。。。。。】

“This scene... should be a Reality Marble, but it doesn't seem quite like it.”
The people of other worlds looked at this innocent boy with admiration...
Knowing that an ally of justice is just an ideal, he still carries out his beliefs from beginning to end, and persists even if there is nothingness in front of him.
Shirou Emiya's monologues made the people of other worlds understand that Shirou Emiya, at this moment, has fully recognized the essence of his ideals and the end of his ideals.
But because of this, it also gave his originally ethereal and unrealistic ideals weight.
~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
Kiritsugu Emiya, at this moment, was a little confused, looking at his hands full of confusion,
“What kind of responsibility... did I let that boy bear?”
He could have grown up carefree, but because he inherited his ideals, he embarked on the path of an ally of justice. Whether it was the previous Shirou the Hero or the current Shirou Emiya...
It was all because of himself that he had to embark on this thorny path.
~Type-Moon World, Kaleid liner Prisma Illya Worldline~
“You... you might really be a lot like me! I should say, as expected of myself in a parallel world.”
Shirou the Big Hero stared at Shirou Emiya on the screen.
“Everyone's ideals are borrowed, all because they admire Kiritsugu Emiya's figure, that they will embark on the path of an ally of justice.”
However, what is different between you and me is... I abandoned that ideal.
When he made a wish to the Holy Grail, it meant that he abandoned this world.
This sin made him an anti-hero.
Borrowed ideals, borrowed justice, even this power that should have been used to save the world, is only used for Miyu alone.
“But now, maybe I can see the path of self-abandonment in you, I also want to see what it will be like for myself, who has been walking on the path of an ally of justice?!”
。。。。。
【 “Hmm?!” Gilgamesh looked at Shirou Emiya, who had stood up again, with slight surprise, “Although I showed mercy, you should have been hit by the wind pressure of EA.” 】
【 Obviously, in his opinion, even the wind pressure was not something the current Shirou Emiya could withstand. 】
【 Shirou Emiya looked at Gilgamesh and mocked him as if venting his dissatisfaction, “You've piled up Noble Phantasms into a mountain, and now you're saying you showed mercy.” 】
【 Gilgamesh said in a deep voice, “That is a sword that only a conqueror can wield. Originally, someone like you didn't even have the qualifications to see EA.” 】
【 As soon as Gilgamesh finished speaking, several golden ripples appeared behind him again, and Noble Phantasms stretched out from within and were fired towards Shirou Emiya. 】
【 “Bang——” 】
【 A woman wearing blue and white armor, holding an invisible sword, with an ahoge on her golden hair, rushed over, blocking the attack while a terrifying wind pressure emerged from the sword. 】
【 A shock wave formed by the wind directly destroyed the eaves where Gilgamesh was standing! 】
【 “Are you okay, Shirou!” Artoria looked at Shirou Emiya with some worry. 】
【 Shirou Emiya looked at the figure standing in front of him with some surprise: “Saber!” 】
【 。。。。。】
~Projection of All Worlds~
“!!! Isn't this The Lion King?! Damn, even she appeared.”
Everyone has not forgotten how shocking the demeanor of that Holy Lance was when it was unanchored during the Sacred Round Table Domain, but what is puzzling is that she is not using the Holy Lance. Why did she switch to an invisible weapon?!
~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“Hahaha, I didn't expect Saber to appear there too... Interesting, it's really getting interesting.”
Gilgamesh suddenly laughed wildly, startling everyone present.
The King of Conquerors was a little depressed. It was said to be the Three Kings! They didn't even want to play with him, did they?
Artoria, on the side, was also a little puzzled.
Was she summoned again, and looking at the relationship between Shirou Emiya and Kiritsugu Emiya... Could it be that they all regarded my scabbard, Avalon, as a family heirloom, summoning it from generation to generation?!
~Throne of Heroes~
At this moment, the Knights of the Round Table were no longer calm. They immediately surrounded the figure that appeared on the screen.
Gawain looked very aloof and said lightly,
“The king's demeanor is still admirable.”
The premise is that if you ignore his hand that is tightly holding onto Excalibur... it is enough to prove his excited heart, wishing to fight in front of the king again.
Bedivere, who became a Heroic Spirit after the events of the Sacred Round Table Domain, breathed a sigh of relief,
“King, it's so good to see you again.”
The other members of the Knights of the Round Table also looked at the screen, and even Mordred, who had a tsundere face, secretly glanced at the video from time to time.
After all, there are only king simps and twisted king simps in the Knights of the Round Table... Hee hee.
