The Incarnation's fingers instinctively tightened around Gungnir.

Looking up, she saw nothing but deep sorrow in Scathach's eyes. Akasha Arrow was truly an Anti-Origin Noble Phantasm—even Chaos itself had to flee from it. Being hit by that arrow meant total annihilation. No exceptions.

"Has Eternal King... truly disappeared?" the Incarnation murmured.

Everyone around her—Ritsuka, Kama, Vivian, Mordred, Scathach, and Skadi—clutched their weapons tightly. Their faces sho...

IBHJ 1250

"Gods under the royal name—this is the law of the kingdom." The Incarnation glanced at Shirou, then shifted her gaze to Tiamat standing behind the crowd. "Your resistance is pointless."

“I'm well aware this resistance means nothing," Tiamat replied calmly. "But I've already accomplished my goal."

Everyone turned to Tiamat in surprise. Even knowing her creation power was useless against Akasha Arrow, she had gone through with it anyway. Could it be that she had a secret strate...

IBHJ 1249

The universe itself is Akasha, and everything—including transcendent beings—exists within it. That's why even transcendent beings can only resist the [Akasha Arrow], never truly destroy it. The Incarnation's real invincibility didn't come from the Holy Spirit status granted by the Holy Grail, but from possessing Akasha Arrow!

Altera and the others rose up again to surround and attack her from all sides. They instinctively knew they absolutely couldn't let her fire that arrow, or eve...

IBHJ 1248

"If we can't help take down their leader, we might as well deal with these imperial soldiers!" Gilgamesh shouted. “Kill those mongrels!”

The other Heroic Spirits nodded in agreement, quickly splitting their forces to intercept the incoming imperial troops led by Apostle Pendragon.

The situation grew even more chaotic as Astraea led the steel army to counter-surround the imperial forces.

Present and eternity collided in an instant, with the entire battlefield engulfed in ...

IBHJ 1247

Iskandar, Atalanta, and the other Greek-related Heroic Spirits squinted their eyes and gasped in shock. "This divine presence... it's him!"

Countless lightning bolts gathered together like primordial thunder that could split heaven and earth, striking directly at the Incarnation.

Faced with this terrifying divine thunder, the Incarnation calmly raised her hand, which became surrounded by brilliant light. With just that one hand, she blocked the immensely powerful divine attack. He...

IBHJ 1246

The Kingdom was already gone. All that remained were the spirits of those who couldn't let go, spirits filled with hatred.

He couldn't allow his past accomplishments to become weapons of hatred that hurt innocent people and erased his friends and family from existence. Instead, he would carry the burden of that destruction while facing toward the sunrise of tomorrow. He would make sure the kingdom's story lived on, so that everyone who had lived there would be remembered in history.

After Kama finally left, Ryuuto began to prepare the summoning ritual.

This was the real reason he'd come here in the first place. If you wanted to summon a servant for the Fuyuki Holy Grail War, you had to physically be in Fuyuki City. Pretty much the only ones who could bypass this rule were the Einzberns, who basically cheated every time and always secured their contracts first.

Despite living with a prestigious magus family for three whole years, Ryuuto—who preferred spendin...

MMMS 11

In a normal Kama Saint Graph, the balance between Kama and Mara was about 6:4. But when that ratio flipped, that's when the Beast awakened.

Throughout the past year, Matou Sakura had been under the influence of Beast VI, causing the Saint Graph of Kama inside her to gradually shift more toward Mara.

The girl who was born in the Tohsaka mansion was now similar to Ryuuto—she was basically a young version of the Beast. Her Saint Graph was split right down the middle: 50% Mara and 5...

IBHJ 1245

"Just futile resistance," the Incarnation said calmly as she watched the massive army of Heroic Spirits charging toward her from all sides.

The moment those words left her mouth, beams of divine light shot from her eyes, instantly turning Vlad III and all his wooden stakes to ash before he could even get close. Then she grabbed Gungnir with her small hand, swung it gracefully, and sliced clean through both Karna's God-Slaying Spear and his right arm. Divine blood splattered everywhere, ...

IBHJ 1244

When Shirou rejected her, something changed in the Emperor. The hopeful gleam in her eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by an ice-cold stare. Then a weird, impossible-to-describe magical signature started emanating from her body.

"BOOM!"

Everyone jumped back a few steps, staring at the Emperor in shock. There weren't any earthquakes or tidal waves or mountains falling apart, but as Heroic Spirits, they could tell something way worse was happening!

The clear blue sky sudde...

IBHJ 1243

Yet ironically, because of all the work Shirou and his generation put in to keep it alive, the Eternal Kingdom didn't completely disappear. Instead, this fragment that had been cut off from the Age of Men gave birth to something unexpected—a hazy, independent Counter Force with a will of its own.

That era was filled with Phantasmal Species and leftover elements from the Age of Gods, making it fundamentally incompatible with the human-dominated Age of Men. This incompatibility is exact...

IBHJ 1242

As the Emperor slowly pulled Mordred's sword from her own abdomen, she casually extended two fingers. With a metallic "clang," Gungnir, which had suddenly appeared behind her, was caught perfectly between her fingers. The powerful weapon couldn't move forward even an inch, as if it had been stopped by fate itself.

"Sneak attacks aren't really your style, Lady Scathach."

Scathach stared at the Emperor in shock. The weapon in her hand was Gungnir, which she'd specially borrowed from...

IBHJ 1241

Night faded away as morning arrived.

After getting Gaia's message, Shirou's group had a quick discussion and came up with a plan to attack from two directions.

Three days later, Alaya sent three hundred thousand mechanical soldiers their way. This massive steel army marched impressively alongside Shirou and the others toward Londinium.

Shirou had been hoping to try piloting one of the mechs himself, but there was a problem. These machines didn't have normal control panels - ...

IBHJ 1240

"I'm not here for that. I just want to ask about someone who made a contract with you."

"Who?"

"Artoria Pendragon," he said seriously. He hadn't forgotten that Artoria's body was still in Alaya's possession.

"There are countless versions of King Arthur who made deals with me when they died across all the different worldlines. But I'm guessing you're talking about your King of Knights from Pan-Human History. Given how things stand now, I could easily release her." Alaya pause...

IBHJ 1239

"Gaia, I need your help sending a message to Tír na nÓg," said Shirou as he laid out his entire plan against Londinium.

On Earth, Gaia was definitely the best option for transmitting information, but with the Empire interfering, even Gaia's abilities were pretty limited these days. That's why they hadn't been able to contact her until now. They could only reach Gaia here because of Alaya’s help.

"Got it," Gaia nodded. "As the wise and brilliant woman with exceptional leadershi...

"God is dead."

When Ryuuto said this, the worm let out a soul-shattering howl. "Oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!!!" Just like a butterfly bursting from its chrysalis, the creature known as Matou Zouken went wild with joy.

Of course. The age of divinity was long gone—thousands of years had passed since humans entered the Age of Men. What humanity gained after countless seasons and endless years was simply growth as a species.

A mere five hundred years? That was nothing.

MMMS 9

Matou Zouken wasn't actually dead yet. Despite having his physical body shredded by Kama, the old man was somehow still alive somewhere in the Matou mansion. This made sense since the Matou Zouken who was defeated in the basement was just a collection of bugs clumped together.

The true core of the old monster—the vessel containing his soul, that special brain worm—was still out there. Even an attack from Kama couldn't completely kill this 500-year-old monster unless his actual body ...

IBHJ 1238

As if on cue, glittering particles like tiny stars began to emerge from Shirou's body. They drifted upward and clustered together, gradually forming what looked like a virtual screen. Within this shimmering display appeared a figure with striking white hair and piercing red eyes.

"Oh wow, we finally made contact!" Gaia exclaimed, clasping her hands to her chest dramatically. "The Empire's barrier is just so powerful, you wouldn't believe what I had to go through!"

"Save the act—...

IBHJ 1237

After the Emperor synchronized everything, Mana who was connected to Alaya—brought Sion out from the Wandering Sea. She also rescued Astraea, who had escaped synchronization since she was a goddess from another world. Together, they established a base in Europe to fight back.

The Empire's barrier was nearly perfect, but before synchronization happened, the Council led by Shiki and the Hope alliance that included Bedivere had created a loophole. That's how the mechs managed to slip thr...

IBHJ 1236

"That's it over there." Astraea pointed toward a steel fortress in the distance, where a pillar of light connected to the sky.

As Shirou gazed at the fortress, he felt the planetary voice calling to him, sending a wave of emotion through his body.

He'd been convinced the planetary voice was guiding him back to Tír na nÓg, but instead it had led him straight to Alaya's headquarters. Clearly these two Counter Forces were secretly working together behind the scenes.

When they...

IBHJ 1235

Shirou filled Astraea in on everything that had happened to him in the Empire, and they swapped information.

"So that vulnerability in the Empire's Barrier near Ireland was your doing," Astraea said, looking impressed. "It's not often you see two Counter Forces working together like this. Quite remarkable, actually."

He nodded in agreement. It was definitely unusual—two Counter Forces that normally operated completely independently were now spontaneously joining forces for a com...

IBHJ 1234

Mordred glared at the Apostle. "I won't allow you to harm my father!"

"Mordred?" Apostle Pendragon stared in surprise before her expression hardened. "Fine then. I'll take you down first!"

She waved her wand in a complex pattern, forming four magical circles in the air. The four great elements—wind, fire, thunder, and earth—swirled together, creating a devastating torrent of magical power that resembled a tornado as it rushed toward Mordred.

Shirou was about to project R...

IBHJ 1233

Shirou wouldn't allow the Beast to harm Mordred. Besides, he harbored his own deep hatred for the Beast of Revelation. A final confrontation was inevitable—a life-or-death battle right here in the Pan Human History!

For now, though, he decided to focus on the immediate threat. The Eternal Empire and the Emperor were still the main enemies of the Pan Human History—other problems could wait.

"That mithril armor you're wearing," he said, pointing to the dragon armor Mordred had o...

IBHJ 1232

Whatever was happening in the bigger picture, he knew one thing for certain—he needed to destroy this piece of the abomination as quickly as possible. Mordred was nearby, and he couldn't let anything happen to her.

That was a promise he'd made as a father.

Besides, the creature had clearly recognized him, and it was too late to run now anyway.

Under normal circumstances, he could have easily destroyed this thing using his Eternal Emperor power. Unfortunately, for some reas...

IBHJ 1231

Just then, Mordred's eyes snapped open and she bolted upright in bed.

"Take it easy," he said, hurrying to her side and trying to guide her back down. "Your body needs more rest."

But she resisted. "Father, there's danger approaching! I need to eliminate the threat!"

"Danger?" Shirou raised an eyebrow skeptically. His Clairvoyance had been active the whole time, and he'd been keeping his senses tuned to their surroundings, but he hadn't picked up on any threats nearby.

MMMS 8

The smell of rot and dampness filled the air, with a darkness as green as the deepest ocean. This was the worm pit buried far underground beneath the Matou mansion.

Staring at the hellish scene in front of her, Sakura covered her nose, her voice shaking. "...Grand-Grandfather, what is this place... what are all these worms?"

Just a few yards ahead of the little girl was an enormous pit. In its depths, countless black shapes twisted and squirmed. They were horribly ugly creatures w...

MMMS 7

"Sakura is out playing with the neighborhood kids right now. She won't be back until dinner, so you'll have to wait for a while," Zouken said, then smoothly changed the subject. "By the way, Kariya came to see this old man again yesterday. Still going on about the same things—insisting he wants to join the war as the second Master for the Matou family."

Just like in the original "Fate/Zero" story, news of Sakura's transfer from the Tohsaka family to the Matou household had reached Kar...

MMMS 6

"That'll be 14,700 yen," the taxi driver announced, glancing at Ryuuto through the rearview mirror.

"Sure, just a sec."

Japanese taxi fares had to be the only ones in the world more expensive than hiring an escort. Mentally grumbling about the ridiculous prices, Ryuuto pulled two large bills from his wallet.

"Thank you very much. Please take care," the driver said.

Ryuuto climbed out of the cab and walked through the orange glow of sunset toward a gloomy, imposing mans...

MMMS 5

Ryuuto left the Sajyou family mansion in Suginami Ward at 7:13 that morning. By 8:03, he had made his way into a private home in Chiyoda Ward across town.

It's funny—in real life, people often say Asians tend to look younger than their Western counterparts. But in anime and manga, it's usually the opposite. Characters with colorful hair and bright, distinctive eyes typically appear much younger than they actually are.

The woman standing in front of him now, Elza Saijo, was a per...

IBHJ 1230

Before she could even finish forming the question in her mind, something extraordinary happened. With her Buddha nature now fully unlocked, Xuanzang could finally see the Emperor's face clearly for the first time.

What she saw left her completely stunned—surprised, shocked, and utterly incredulous.

"Leave now, Master Xuanzang," Agravain said coldly. "The universe is vast, and the empire needs friends, not enemies. The same goes for your Pure Land."

Xuanzang knew there was ...
