At this very moment, under the gaze of the masses.
『 The fourth Grand Servant emerged from the screen in short order.
And the class revealed this time is Rider!
The original [ Grand Rider ] was meant to be Noah.
However, due to certain circumstances, Noah is currently working overtime in another world.
He did not have the luxury of time to resolve the issue of the Alien God, U-Olga Marie, here.
Thus, taking his place is the renowned strategist and deity from the lands of Kyushu.
[ Grand Rider ] Tai Gong Wang!
A famed strategist from the lands of Kyushu; surname Jiang, given name Shang, courtesy name Ziya—or Ya.
The great contributor to the overthrow of the Shang and the establishment of the Zhou! He aided King Wu in vanquishing King Zhou and successfully eliminated the terrifying Nine-Tailed Fox!
He stands as the progenitor of military strategy and the executor of the Investiture of the Gods.
Upon seeing this introduction, the spectators could not help but be slightly taken aback.
They had not expected that this fourth Grand Servant… would actually be the renowned strategist from the lands of Kyushu.
So, at this moment, the audience in the group chat could not help but begin a discussion. 』
『 .....』
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Lord El-Melloi II: This is truly unexpected. I never imagined the true identity of the Grand Rider would be Tai Gong, but as the founding hero of the Great Zhou and the executor of the Investiture of the Gods, he is certainly qualified. ]
[ Tai Gong Wang (Rider): What a surprise. To think that even I have been summoned? ]
〜IN BETWEEN〜
〜In the Worldline of ██████ 〜
Tai Gong Wang, who was fishing, wore an expression of surprise upon seeing the screen.
"I never expected the role of Grand Rider to fall upon me."
True, he did hold the qualifications for Grand Rider.
Yet, there was a candidate far more suitable than himself.
That would be Noah…
A friend he had met in the Throne of Heroes, and a figure from the Bible as well.
That fellow was truly more fitting than he…
It seems that, due to some unforeseen circumstances, he had to step in first.
"If only I had been summoned as a Caster instead. Oh well, overtime is overtime. I'll have to make that kid teach me some Western magecraft as compensation for doing his work."
As he spoke, Tai Gong Wang narrowed his eyes.
He considered this a substitute shift, so asking for a little compensation was not unreasonable.

[ Kirschtaria Wodime: A truly formidable existence. However, if even he has been summoned, then Merlin surely cannot be far behind. ]
[ Merlin: Since he has been summoned, the Caster vacancy can only be filled by me. While I'm not particularly keen on working, if that fellow's goal is to destroy Human Order, then I suppose I must work overtime. ]
[ Artoria Pendragon (Saber): I must say, when I see that person, I always feel a sense of familiarity. It is as if… well, he feels like a rather cunning individual. ]
[ .....]
〜In the Worldline of Fifth Holy Grail War〜
Witnessing this scene, Artoria could not help but twitch her brow.
She had to admit, the aura of that Heroic Spirit was indeed more reminiscent of Merlin.
At the very least, she felt he and Merlin would likely get along quite well…
But speaking of Merlin, he would likely be summoned as a Caster this time as well.
With such a powerful lineup, surely the Alien God, U-Olga Marie, would not be an issue, right?
—
〜In the Worldline of ██████ 〜
On the other side, Noah raised an eyebrow as he witnessed the scene.
"Tai Gong Wang… To think that, besides that obsessive fox, he would also respond to the summons. It seems the crisis this time has indeed reached an unprecedented level."
He naturally recognized the squinty-eyed man on the screen.
As a friend he had known in the Throne of Heroes, he held the other's abilities in high regard, having even taught him quite a bit of Western magecraft.
Yet, it was unexpected to see Tai Gong Wang here.
And summoned as Grand Rider, no less.
This was a task originally meant for him, but there was simply no way around it.
After all, having encountered a Beast in this world, he could not possibly shuttle between worlds.
So, he would just have to trouble this friend of his.
However…
"U-Olga Marie… I have a sinking feeling that even with a lineup like this, we are lacking in confidence against such an enemy."
As he said this, he shook his head.
Forget it, this is not for me to ponder. If seven Grands combined are of no use, then my worrying is equally futile.
Now, rather than concerning myself with another world, I must consider how to deal with the Beast before me.

Just as the audience was engaged in a heated discussion.
『 Another figure, familiar to all, appeared on the screen.
[ Grand Caster ] Merlin
The Sword Saint of Britain!
The child of a nightmare and a human! One of the candidates with Grand qualifications!
The great magus of the Arthurian legends, the King's guide, and the confidant and right-hand man upon whom King Arthur relied.
A figure of pivotal importance in the legends of King Arthur.
Due to the absence of the previous Grand Caster, he became the second Grand Caster, a truly great magus.
Regarding this scene, the spectators were not particularly surprised; after all, it was within their expectations.
After all, Merlin had appeared before.
So, at this moment, none of the spectators was the least bit astonished. 』
『 .....』
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Artoria Pendragon (Saber): Not surprised at all. I had already anticipated he would appear in this video. Although I am not particularly fond of Merlin, his abilities should be of great help in a battle such as this. ]
[ Romani Archaman: I have to agree. While he is a renowned trickster, he can still be of great assistance in such an environment. ]
[ Mash Kyrielight: That's a relief, it's Mr. Merlin… In that case, there shouldn't be any issues. ]
[ .....]
〜In the Inner Sea of the planet, in the furthest tower〜
Witnessing this scene, Merlin was not surprised in the least.
However, unlike the others, he felt a twinge of worry in his heart.
That fellow was likely not someone who could be dealt with easily.
"It seems I am indeed going to be a bit busy…"
—
『 On the screen, following Merlin's appearance, came the Grand Assassin.
This class was rather special.
Unlike other Grand classes, which might have multiple candidates or reserve options, only one person could hold the mantle of Assassin.
That was the Old Man of the Mountain, King Hassan!
And at this moment, he too had been summoned to work overtime.
[ Grand Assassin ] The Old Man of the Mountain!
A figure familiar to all the spectators!
The assassin masked in a skull, the founder of the Assassin Order!
The first Hassan-i-Sabbah was born the moment the title "Old Man of the Mountain" became a legacy passed down through generations!
One who walks the boundary of death!
Seeing this scene, the spectators were not surprised at all.
It was the duo working overtime in Uruk…
However, after the appearance of such powerful characters, the spectators felt even more confident.
But at the same time, they were even more curious about that final Servant. 』
『 .....』
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Hundred-Faced Hassan (Assassin): As expected, it is the First Hassan… ]
[ Gilgamesh (Archer): If it is him, then there is certainly no issue. It is only natural that he would be summoned, given his strength. However, I am rather curious: who will that final Servant be? ]
[ Emiya Shirou: I had anticipated both of these, but that Berserker… it truly makes one curious. I wonder which Heroic Spirit it will be. ]
[ .....]
Just as the audience was filled with intense curiosity.

『 The final Servant finally appeared on the screen.
[ Grand Berserker ] Tezcatlipoca!
Accompanying this introduction, a highly abstract figure appeared on the screen!
And beneath that figure, his introduction appeared.
One of the most important deities in Aztec mythology, he ruled over the First Sun of Aztec legend.
He is the supreme divine power, the manipulator of human destiny.
He represents the hurricane, the night wind, the night sky, the earth, the north, sorcery, beauty, leadership, war, strife, all interpersonal conflicts, as well as obsidian and divination!
Seeing this introduction, the spectators were once again unable to remain calm.
Because this summoned servant was far too heavy-hitting.
Not only as a Grand Servant, but as a major deity of mythology!
This naturally left the spectators both surprised and delighted! 』
『 .....』
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
The great sister Quetzalcoatl flashed a look of astonishment upon witnessing the scene.
"I never imagined the Grand Berserker would be him…"
She was, of course, very familiar with the figure on the screen.
After all, Tezcatlipoca was also one of the most important deities in Aztec mythology.
The main deity in charge of the First Sun…
He could also be considered her brother.
That is correct… Quetzalcoatl was one of the four children of the creator deities Ometeotl and Omecihuatl.
Thus, her relationship with Tezcatlipoca was that of siblings.
It was just that the two did not have a very harmonious relationship.
The reason for this was very simple.
He is the supreme divine power, the manipulator of human destiny. Unlike other Mesoamerican deities, he does not represent any specific natural force, nor is he the guardian deity of any particular tribe.
He represents the impermanence of the world, the "Lord of the Near and Now," and like the "night wind," he is omnipresent and elusive.
Such divinity conflicted with her own.
Of course, what was more important were their differing viewpoints.
Tezcatlipoca was extremely fond of human sacrifice, which was the exact opposite of Quetzalcoatl.
She disliked human sacrifice and loathed the idea of humans shedding blood in the name of worshiping her.
It was precisely for this reason that the relationship between these siblings had never been very good.
Due to various reasons, she had smashed her brother's sun.
And Tezcatlipoca, unwilling to be outdone, had continuously destroyed the subsequent sun eras.
However, bad relations aside, in the face of such matters, even if they were on bad terms, they would set aside their grievances.
So, at this moment, Quetzalcoatl felt a deep sense of emotion.
"To think you would be summoned as the Grand Berserker. Since you are standing on the side of Human Order, then I shall reluctantly cheer for you~."
The arrival of these seven Grands possessed top-tier strength and prestige.
—
At this moment, the hearts of all the spectators were filled with anticipation. 』

[ Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi: A truly formidable existence. However, why does the art style of this Servant feel a bit off? Why do I feel like he and the other Servants are from two different worlds? ]
〜IN BETWEEN〜
〜In the Worldline of Fourth Holy Grail War〜
Kayneth asked, deeply puzzled.
Undoubtedly, the appearance of Tezcatlipoca sent a tremor through his mind.
It was not just because the intelligence regarding him was so shocking, but also because of his art style.
That magical aesthetic…
This standout point exceeded his introduction.
That extremely abstract art style even made some spectators feel for a moment that the guy was not on the same dimensional channel as the others…
—
[ Emiya Kiritsugu: Good grief, I never expected the final Grand Berserker to be that legendary major deity… The appearance of seven Grand Servants feels like a shot of adrenaline, calming my heart. ]
[ Tezcatlipoca (Berserker): Well, well, I never expected to appear on the screen. But it matters little; that Alien God, U-Olga Marie, is quite interesting indeed. ]
[ Olga Marie Animusphere: The battle between the seven Grand Servants and the Alien God is truly something to look forward to. ]
[ .....]
At this moment, as the introductions for the seven individuals concluded, the screen quickly began to play!
All the spectators fixed their attention on the screen!
Having understood the seven Grand Servants, the spectators turned their minds to the battle itself.
After all, this was the first collective appearance of the seven Grand Servants!
And their opponent was the mastermind behind the freezing of Human Order, the Alien God, U-Olga Marie!
This battle was undoubtedly a fight for the survival of the world!
All the spectators were naturally awaiting the outcome of this battle!
Soon, the content on the screen officially began to play.
.....
『 The first to appear on the screen was the Alien God, U-Olga Marie, who had just appeared in the previous video!
At this very moment, unparalleled magical energy surged from her body.
However, upon seeing the Alien God, U-Olga Marie, on the screen, a massive question arose in the minds of all the spectators.
The reason was very simple: because of the "unknown" displayed on her…
However, before the spectators could ponder too much.
The Grand Saber, Artoria Caster, on the screen, was the first to take action.
The holy sword in her hand bloomed with an incomparably dazzling radiance at this moment.
At the same time, a powerful source of magical energy surged from her body.
Then, these sources of magical energy transformed into specks of starlight, pouring into the bodies of the Heroic Spirits around her.
This was Artoria Caster's skill.
[ Charisma of Hope B ] and [ Avalon le Fae A]!
With the activation of these two skills, a great battle was on the verge of breaking out! 』

ALERT!! HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!
( Translator-kun: It looks like Author-san has gone on an indefinite hiatus. For the next update, I'll release all the remaining chapters in one go—maybe next month? After that, this project will be put on hold, but don't worry! I'll be starting a new one to replace it, and you guys can vote on what it will be. I'm thinking 5 options or more, who knows?
Also, I'm going to refrain from adding any more of the 'FATE series' for now. Not gonna lie, I'm getting confused because of how many there are on my current projects, and it will be more in the future on those current projects.
I'm currently looking for something else in the "Inventory, Comprehensive(got Isekai'ed into ACG'Anime, Comics, Games' with system), or Xianxia Fantasy(got Isekai'ed into xianxia with system)" genres. )
