Assassin's gaze had grown distant and unfocused; she unconsciously shifted in her master's lap, pressing her body closer against his chest.

After hearing about what the other houses were up to, Ryuuto's smile faded. "Now for the final surveillance target... what's Caster been doing?"

Yes, Morgan was also one of Assassin's surveillance targets. She'd been tasked with monitoring her every move from very early on. When he first ordered her to keep an eye on Caster, even Assassin had ...

"Come on, Ryuuto-kun." Aoi took the boy's hand, ready to head back to the front desk to switch to a room with a normal bathroom.

But when she tried to move, she found that he wouldn't budge at all.

"What's the matter?"

"Aoi... I'm really tired." he said, suddenly putting on a slightly pouty face as he looked up at her.

"Oh, are you? Then let's just stay here. You must be completely worn out after today, aren't you?"

Just a young boy, yet he'd so bravely chased a...

A black lotus slowly bloomed from the Black Tree.

Seeing this, Sixth Seat's expression filled with delight. "The Demon King is about to be born!" it exclaimed.

"Not so fast!" Manaka shouted, focusing billions of Goetia's beam rays into a single devastating blast aimed directly at the dragon's face.

"BOOM—"

Smoke billowed everywhere.

Manaka didn't waste time checking if her attack had done any damage. Her vortex released endless waves of black mist that flowed t...

"Look over there!" Kiara shouted, pointing to the distant sky.

Manaka followed her gaze and saw an enormous black tree stretching across the sky. Within the tree, a star anchor was giving off a faint light. As they watched, this light seemed to trigger a response—a golden halo appeared above the black tree.

Manaka's eyes narrowed. She had seen that particular halo before, and her expression grew complicated as she recognized it.

"I never thought I'd see that transcendent b...

"You doing okay, Aoi-neesan?" he asked, enjoying the soft touch of the married woman's hands that had clearly never seen hard labor. "If you knew some martial arts, you could've knocked those guys flat yourself."

She looked at him with surprise. "Oh? so that's how you beat them up? With martial arts?"

"Yeah, I've trained in lots of different styles," he said confidently. He was completely making this up, of course.

Aoi clapped her hands together, suddenly enthusiastic. "That...

"I see the King of Knights didn't join you," the Ideal King observed. "She's still clinging to her principles, I suppose. Though in the end, she'll come to face me with her sword drawn. That's just who she is."

The Ideal King rose from her throne and with a wave of her hand, a damaged Holy Grail and a gleaming Holy Sword materialized before her.

"Here it is—the Holy Grail you've been seeking," she declared. "If you truly want to erase my new history, then come at me with everyth...

"A savage from a parallel world? Hmph, nothing but an outdated toy. Die!" Agravain sneered, commanding the Machine God-Camelot to charge straight at Zeus.

Astraea, who was piloting a crimson mech nearby, called out urgently: "Watch out, Zeus! That Machine God is built from our original Orichalcum steel, and it's equipped with Galahad's counter!"

"Can a mere imitation ever match the real thing?" Machine God King-Zeus scoffed. He caught Machine God-Camelot's punch with one hand, the...

While Saturn and the other UOs had been stopped at the South American connection point, Uranus had already returned before the Ideal King synchronized history. It had been hiding, waiting patiently for precisely this moment!

Although Uranus didn't get along with Gaia and even harbored hatred toward her, it was still a UO. These beings didn't operate on human values or thought processes—they only considered what was best for their planet. And this made Uranus Gaia's perfect trump card....

Everyone knew that Ryuuto's mother, Manaka Sajyou, was basically the sweetest, kindest, and most gorgeous woman you could ever meet. In a parallel world's Tokyo Holy Grail War, Manaka had quite a passion for one specific thing: "adopting" her opponents' Servants.

Take Paracelsus the alchemist Caster, or that runaway homeless Assassin—they all fell under the motherly glow of the Root Princess's compassion, eventually becoming Miss Manaka's loyal followers. Ryuuto definitely inherited o...

In everyone's eyes, Aoi Tohsaka was the perfect wife. Her looks spoke for themselves—elegant features, graceful figure, and smooth long hair that made people envious. As for her character, if you had to describe her in one phrase, it would be "Yamato Nadeshiko"—the ideal Japanese woman. Dignified yet careful, attentive to everything, supporting her husband without getting in his way, valuing loyalty and duty above love... She was basically the textbook definition of a traditional good wif...

At 8:30 AM, the whole world was buzzing about the monster attack. An unidentified creature had appeared in Tokyo Bay near Japan's coast and was quickly confronted by US-Japan joint forces.

The monster easily shot down several squadrons of fighter jets and disabled three Aegis destroyers. The Forrestal-class aircraft carrier docked at Yokosuka Port completely lost its fighting ability after fierce attacks and ultimately sank.

After causing all this destruction, the giant monster si...

"Two attacks in a row... and they're using brute force to destroy the fortress? They must be desperate. But they'll be stopped at Camelot's walls, and then it'll just turn into a long, drawn-out battle..."

Before Agravain could finish his analysis, Adam threw his head back with a roar and charged straight into Camelot's walls. With a deafening crash, the incredibly strong walls gave way, leaving a massive hole where Adam had struck.

The impact had devastated Adam's body. His muscl...

Mordred went back to her room and pulled out her Grail. She looked at it carefully—this object that had been her downfall. Instead of sadness, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"You can do this, right?" she asked.

"Are you sure you want to go through with this?" the Grail questioned. "This won't accomplish anything."

"Please," she said quietly.

"...Fine. You've convinced me. But be prepared—they might not answer you."

The Grail began to glow with brilliant...

Ryuuto had a dream—one so vivid he couldn't tell if it was real or not. When he finally came to his senses, the city before him was engulfed in flames. A burning city, orange-red sky, people screaming, and bodies everywhere.

"So in the end, I couldn't control myself, even after I promised Mom I would."

After killing countless people without even trying, he gave a self-mocking smile. That hint of sadness only lasted for a moment before turning into a cruel, twisted grin.

The Ideal King drew her power from the Holy Grail. To destroy the Holy Grail, they would need to attack the imperial palace, which meant first taking control of Camelot, the city below. But Camelot was protected by Agravain's Machine God, constructed entirely from orichalcum super-metal.

And the Ideal King's power was simply overwhelming. If she unleashed that power again—the one that gathered the universe's fundamental forces—there was no second Galahad to stand against it. Most wo...

Yokosuka Port, inside the naval base.

Boom boom boom boom. A thunderous sound like mountains collapsing echoed across the ground. The sea demon's tentacle, over twenty meters wide, crashed down onto the flight deck of the Forrestal-class aircraft carrier No. 4, carving a massive gash through the center of the ship.

Although everyone had evacuated the carrier at the last moment, this didn't stop Ryuuto from unleashing his full fury on it. Even the largest weapon humans had ever bui...

Somewhere in the eastern United States, about 20 kilometers above ground in the stratosphere, a massive airship over 200 meters long cruised slowly. This airship housed Francesca Prelati's magical workshop. Inside a dimly lit space within the airship, the workshop owner stood excitedly in front of a crystal ball showing live images.

The girl who had lived for countless centuries had long silver hair that reached the floor and a cute face. She wore Gothic Lolita clothes on her upper body...

"I'm sorry, but my answer is still no.”

The same rejection as always. Yet the light remained, unmoving. It would stay there until the Holy Grail completely disappeared, waiting for her to make the right choice.

The Incarnation ignored the light and waved her hand, causing a series of images to appear in the air before her. They showed a grand banquet with people singing and dancing, their faces bright with joy.

It was beautiful.

Now, after all these years, this secret that history had buried has emerged as the source of the world's chaos. At last, all the mysteries have come to light.

"No...there's still one more secret!"

"That Beast—who exactly is he?" Shirou stared at Ambrosius, demanding an answer.

This Fairy Lord, this ancient incubus, knew too many things, too many secrets, yet never revealed more than necessary. He needed to pursue every lead, follow every clue to its end.

"Monster appears in Yokosuka Port!"

This news spread across the world like wildfire.

"A monster!... It's actually a real monster!"

"A monster just showed up in Tokyo! So Ultraman was real all along!"

"Is the world really going to end in 1999..."

"What's going to happen to us?"

"God has sent punishment to the Japanese and Americans..."

Waver Velvet woke up in the bedroom of the British elderly couple whose faces had become more familiar than his own parents'. It was still dark outside, with the clock showing just 5 AM. Normally he'd sleep in until well after sunrise, but for some reason he was wide awake. Had he felt some kind of intense chill in his dream?

"Haah... perhaps I'm just too excited," he mumbled to himself.

Nearly a week had passed since the battle at the harbor, but it still felt like a dream. He co...

Shirou returned to reality and immediately saw two enormous figures battling in front of Badon Fortress. Gaia appeared beside him and quickly explained everything that had happened while he was gone.

Still holding Mordred, he watched as Adam was getting brutally beaten by the Machine God-Camelot. Despite the chaos, he remained calm.

"We need to support Adam," he said. "And get some of our troops to fall back right away!"

With Manaka's help, he managed to push back Machine Go...

The Incarnation turned to her. "He's not human anymore. He has no brain, no heart, and his memories were erased! He should be nothing but a mechanical wall protecting us! His basic programming should be to protect the kingdom!"

"A brain can be removed, memories can be erased, and thoughts can be controlled. But you haven't heard the cry of the soul. Even a created doll will find its soul speaking out when it has something to protect—let alone someone who was once human," Shirou said.<...

Three days later, at sunrise, the first rays of light came up over the eastern horizon. Ryuuto was stretched out on the hotel bed with his hands behind his head, watching the sun rise outside the window. Like Kiritsugu, he'd picked a hotel for his hideout, but the place looked nothing like Kiritsugu's war room with all its maps and notes pinned to the walls.

Tangled sheets were thrown everywhere. The furniture was all pushed around. Stockings and maid uniforms were scattered across the ...

Although it wasn't unheard of for team members to lose contact during combat, this time Kiritsugu was particularly worried. After Maiya stopped responding, Kiritsugu's killer instincts put him on high alert. He glanced at the battlefield in the distance. His Servant Lancer and the enemy's Saber were locked in a stalemate, neither gaining the upper hand in the short term.

He should check what was happening with Maiya. Moving his right eye away from the scope, just as he was about to leav...

When Scathach returned to the Tower of Light after leaving Aife behind, she found the battle already in full swing.

Shirou was leading three vessels in a coordinated attack against the Incarnation. Manaka was neutralizing the Incarnation's attacks, Shiki was breaking through her defenses, and Shirou himself was turning the Incarnation's own abilities against her. Meanwhile, Rhongomyniad and Mordred were circling around to strike from behind.

Fanatic's ability was to copy the techniques created by her predecessors. Although she firmly believed all her techniques were worse than theirs, that wasn't actually true. Unlike the Hassan who had to sacrifice an arm to obtain [Delusional Heartbeat], she achieved it without any sacrifice, which was clearly more successful.

Saber and Arthur dove behind a fallen monolith as the redirected energy screamed overhead. Two distant mountains to the east crumbled in thunderous avalanches of rock and dust as the redirected beams hit them, sending massive clouds billowing into the sky that briefly blocked out the crimson sun.

Outside Badon Fortress, the fighting between Pan-Human and the Eternal Empire was intense. Fires were spreading everywhere across the battlefield. Bedivere watched with a heavy heart. He should have been standing with his own people, but instead, he was on the side of Pan-Human History.

Turning back the clock about ten hours earlier. When the fanatic awoke in bed, she immediately fell into intense self-reproach. How could this happen... what a completely foolish act I committed. She wasn't concerned at all about still being alive. Nor did she care about the black heart formed from curses now in her left chest. She just stared at the ceiling with a sorrowful expression. "I... no longer even deserve to call myself a believer..."
