Chapter 76 - A Divine Level Servant

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』

Twenty-eight monsters???

Hearing such words, all the audience members immediately reacted.

That was the powerful being who once fought Cú Chulainn in Celtic mythology!

The deep-sea giant wizard Karadinn and his 27 sons!

At this moment, in the entire group chat, all the audience members couldn't help but start their discussions.

〜Chat Room〜

[ Cú Chulainn (Lancer): What a surprise, I didn't expect him to have the strength of these 28 people? 28 monsters are indeed incredible. If Fergus hadn't helped me, the outcome of that battle would have been hard to say. ]

[ Merlin: Compared to that, I'm more interested in Dumas's ability. To be able to replicate those Noble Phantasms and even sublimate them... It's indeed ridiculously powerful. ]

[ Gilgamesh (Archer): They're just a bunch of mongrels, how could they possibly defeat this King! ]

[ Waver Velvet: Although such power is indeed outrageous, I don't think these 28 people alone can defeat the King of Heroes. ]

[ .....]

『 While all the audience members were discussing, the content on the screen continued to play.

Still in the same room...

Suddenly, a round of applause sounded.

"...What are you doing here?"

Orlando didn't seem to like this mysterious visitor very much.

His words revealed a very obvious disgust.

"Eeeh, you seem so cold. Can't I come if there's nothing wrong?"

Along with these words, a girl of about 15 years old appeared in everyone's sight.

She was wearing a black and white Gothic Lolita dress and holding a decorative umbrella. 』

『 .....』

〜Type-Moon World, Fate/Apocrypha Worldline〜

Jeanne looked at this scene.

She couldn't help but frown.

"Although the girl on the screen looks innocent, for some reason, she gives me a strange sense of familiarity..."

As if she had met her before...

But she could be sure that she had never seen such a person in her memory!

What exactly is this being on the screen!?

In reality, the girl on the screen looked innocent, but her inner self was a complete pervert!

〜Chat Room〜

[ Aozaki Touko: Tsk, why is it this guy? This guy actually appeared in the Holy Grail War, too. ]

[ .....]

〜In the Worldline of the Witch on the Holy Night〜

Aozaki Touko frowned when she saw such a scene.

Immediately, a huge killing intent surged from her body!

The Flying Princess... Francois Prelati!

The grudge between her and the Flying Princess was an even sadder story.

Aozaki Touko had a very famous taboo.

That was "Pain of X..."

Because she wanted the surname to match the primary color blue, but it turned out to be rotten red, not the primary color red, and the blue hue was given to her sister.

So Aozaki Touko hated being called by that title.

Anyone who said that word... well, those who know, know.

However, there were exceptions to everything.

And this Flying Princess, who appeared on the screen, was one such exception.

So when she saw this scene, a surge of anger also rose in Aozaki Touko's heart!

"That damn little brat!"

『 At this moment, the content on the screen continued to play.

Orlando's voice echoed throughout the screen.

"At least this isn't a place for outsiders to enter."

"Oh~ You call me an outsider. You've gotten quite impressive, rookie."

After a pause, the girl's voice continued to echo on the screen.

"Speaking of which, that line just now was a masterpiece. What was it called, 'You are justice'? Truly exquisite acting. If I were a judge for the Golden Globe Awards, I'd undoubtedly cast my vote for you as Best Actor!"

At this moment, mocking words came from the girl's mouth.

"I'm not acting when I say this, I'm just stating a fact."

At Orlando's words, the girl's face also showed a surprised expression.

"Eh? Eh eh? Do you really think you're champions of justice? Even you, who are part of this grand charade, think so?"

"Yes."

Hearing the affirmative answer, the girl's face immediately showed a disdainful, almost mocking, expression.

"How amazing, how amazing! You, Iron Mask, I admire you so much! But this is a bit different from patriotism, isn't it? If you truly love this country, you wouldn't be spouting justice!"

"I am indeed not a patriot, nor a devout apostle of God. However, I am confident that I can act according to the principles I believe in."

"Furthermore, I won't say that our justice is the same for the Holy Grail. Depending on the situation, not only the Association and the Church, but we might even become enemies with the Holy Grail War system itself."

Hearing Orlando's words, the corner of the girl's mouth couldn't help but curl upwards slightly.

"No problem, no problem. No mediator will come to this Holy Grail War."

Hearing these words, Orlando's face immediately showed a surprised expression.

"What?"

Clearly, this was beyond the man's expectations.

In his opinion, this Holy Grail War was a false Holy Grail War.

So there would definitely be a mediator's arrival...

But now, the other party's words?

As he wondered, the girl's expression on the other side became extremely serious.

"If, even if it switches to a true Holy Grail War, it will be too late for a mediator to come then."

"As long as the Snowfield Holy Grail War is sublimated from a fake to a real one, derailing from the right path. This way, even a mediator cannot stop it, or even intervene, and then we can thoroughly defile the Holy Grail War!"

Saying this, the girl's face showed an extremely excited and smug expression.

"This is incredibly amazing, you know! To be able to thoroughly defile that Holy Maiden again, turning her into charcoal that can't even be used as pig feed!"

"Ah, how amazing! How wonderful!"

"Will the mediator really not come? Can't they come for a bit? Although I couldn't force her to submit then, this time she won't become a hero who accomplished her mission, but will die as a Holy Grail mediator who failed her duty. She must be very unwilling!"

Along with these words, the girl's umbrella gradually calmed down.

"Don't you think this is a wonderful thing?" 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』

At this moment, all the audience members across all worlds had a preliminary understanding of this girl on the screen.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this girl seemed like a pleasure-seeker!

『 "...If necessary, I will do it, but I don't think it's a commendable act."

"How old-fashioned such a stubborn, rigid mind~. Doesn't it get tiring being a hero of justice?"

The girl said, twirling her decorative umbrella.

"It's much easier to pretend to be a bad guy, after all, no matter what you do, you can conclude it with 'because I'm a bad guy'. It's also easy to pretend to be crazy, after all, no matter what you do, you can conclude it with 'because I'm crazy'."

"Ah, the same goes for justice, sorry, sorry! Oh, by the way, Mr. Fake Magician, does he want a woman by his side? If so, how about I be his partner?"

The moment the words fell.

A powerful killing intent immediately surged from Orlando's body!

At the same time, an angry voice echoed.

"Don't meddle, hurry back to headquarters."

The girl wasn't surprised by Orlando's expression; she just shrugged helplessly.

"Alright, alright, I'll behave until it's my turn to appear..."

Watching the girl's departing back, Orlando's face immediately darkened.

After a long while, a cold voice finally sounded.

"Go ahead and act like the mastermind, old dog." 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』

And at this moment, all the audience members finally understood.

It seemed that the girl who just appeared should be the mastermind behind this Holy Grail War!

The Heroic Spirits, Magus, and Magicians in all the worldlines carefully recalled the details of the conversation.

Although the girl's true name wasn't mentioned.

However, all the audience members keenly noticed that the girl's true identity was probably not too simple!

〜Chat Room〜

[ Olga Marie Animusphere: From the sound of this conversation, could it be that the girl is a very old existence, and it seems she has quite a connection with Jeanne D'Arc? ]

[ Emiya Kiritsugu: Although I don't know her true identity, if nothing unexpected happens, she should be the mastermind behind this Holy Grail War. ]

[ .....]

〜In the Worldline of the Fourth Holy Grail War〜

Caster Gilles de Rais frowned as he watched the scene on the screen.

"That guy..."

He naturally recognized the true identity of the Heroic Spirit on the screen at a glance.

That was a person who lived in the same era as himself and Jeanne.

Francesca!

Although he didn't know why she was summoned in the form of a young girl!

But nothing seemed impossible in this Holy Grail War.

"I never thought you would respond to the Holy Grail War's summoning!"

Even the famous Caster Gilles de Rais was now intensely curious about this screen.

And at this moment, all the audience members were still a little curious about the Heroic Spirit who was about to appear next.

After all, Caster, Archer, Assassin, Berserker, and Rider had all appeared...

〜Chat Room〜

[ Ryougi Shiki: If nothing unexpected happens, the next Heroic Spirit to appear should be Lancer. I wonder what kind of Heroic Spirit it will be? ]

[ Merlin: I have a premonition that the next Heroic Spirit to appear will be very interesting... ]

[ .....]

『 Along with the discussions of all the audience members, the screen flashed.

A dog appeared on the screen.

At this moment, it was desperately fleeing.

The instinct to " want to live " made it run frantically.

The next second.

"BANG—!"

A gunshot rang out!

Along with this sound, a magic-infused arrow immediately shot out.

It hit the dog's body without fail!

At the same time, a man's voice appeared on the screen, saying with dissatisfaction.

"...making me go through so much trouble."

Looking at the creature in front of him, the Mage's face showed an extremely displeased expression.

"Seriously, why did a Command Seal have to reside in you... What kind of joke is this?"

Along with these words, all the audience members noticed that a Command Seal pattern indeed appeared on the dog's body!

They immediately couldn't hold back!

Good heavens, they never expected that the Master of the next Heroic Spirit to appear would be a dog!

The previous video was already shocking enough!

They really didn't expect that even a dog would participate in the Holy Grail War!

How should they put it? Should they say it's truly a strange Holy Grail War?

No matter what scene occurred, the audience wouldn't feel the slightest surprise!

It was as if anything that happened would be perfectly reasonable!

Looking at the Command Seal's appearance, the Mage's face grew increasingly angry.

"Why do you think I forced myself to create you? Why do you think I pushed my Magic Circuits to their limit? Why do you think I kept you alive until now?"

Along with these words, he immediately kicked the dog away.

At the same time, he spoke.

"...To win the Holy Grail War, one must obtain a being that transcends heroes."

"If one cannot obtain a being that has already transcended heroes and gained the qualification of a god, one cannot defeat the type of heroes called kings."

"Therefore... one can only summon those from a past even more distant than the origin of heroes—those who became 'gods' in Egypt." 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』

Hearing these words, all the audience members couldn't help but gasp.

Seeing this scene, they finally understood what kind of shadow the Mage on the screen wanted to summon.

He actually wanted to summon a divine-level Heroic Spirit!?

Is this guy crazy?

〜Chat Room〜

[ Romani Archaman: You're kidding, right? This guy actually wants to summon a divine-level Heroic Spirit!? Generally speaking, such beings are absolutely never summoned in a Holy Grail War! ]

[ Tohsaka Rin: That being said, with so many special circumstances in this Holy Grail War, I feel a divine-level being might be summoned. But I didn't expect him to want to summon an Egyptian god? ]

[ .....]

『 At this moment, all the audience members were discussing animatedly, and the content on the screen continued to play.

"You were prepared as a catalyst for this! Why do you not accept the honor of becoming a catalyst for summoning a god? You're even repaying kindness with enmity!"

"Enough, I've already prepared several spares... You just need to return the Command Seal to me, and then die. However, you don't have freedom. I will throw you into the kiln and make you into a new guinea pig body."

Along with these words, the Mage's right hand immediately reached out to the dog.

And at this moment, an intense desire to live surged from the dog's body!

This intense desire, the survival instinct, actually triggers: miracle!

At this moment, it actually activated its own Magic Crest.

Then...

"—!"

A roar echoed throughout the forest.

Along with a strong will, a wail echoed throughout the screen!

At the same time, the ritual of Heroic Spirit Summoning officially began!

And at this moment, the Mage clearly hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation!

He hadn't noticed that the Heroic Spirit he wanted to summon, and his own qualification as a Master, had completely turned into smoke.

In just the blink of an eye, the Heroic Spirit Summoning ritual was successful.

The Heroic Spirit of the Lancer class was completely summoned at this moment!

In this Holy Grail War, the sixth Servant descended here! 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』

Seeing this scene, all the audience members' faces showed excited expressions.

Clearly, they were very curious about who this dog's Servant on the screen was.

One must know that the Mage originally intended to summon a divine-level being.

Although it was generally unlikely to be summoned, as shown before, this Holy Grail War was extremely special.

Even if it wasn't a god, it probably wouldn't be weak.

At this moment, all the audience members were extremely looking forward to the Heroic Spirit who was about to appear next!

Under everyone's expectant gaze!

『 "BUZZ—!"

A dazzling flash of light also erupted on the screen!

At the same time, a powerful surge of magic emerged throughout the entire forest.

Along with that terrifying magic, whirlwinds were stirred up.

And this scene also exceeded the Mage's expectations!

For a moment, he didn't react and was actually blown away by this terrifying whirlwind.

Looking at this scene in shock, the Mage didn't know what was happening, but a faint, ominous premonition vaguely rose in his heart.

At this moment, he realized that something was not quite right.

He wanted to pick up the gun in his hand to stop all this, but it was already too late.

The next second, a figure had already appeared in his sight... 』
