Time flew like an arrow. Several days had passed since Shinji and Gudako resolved the Fuyuki City Holy Grail War.
Late at night, outside the Chaldea intensive care unit, Caren gently stroked the head of the brooding Shirou, constantly comforting him.
"onii-chan, Sister Touko has already said that Shinji will be fine. You don't need to blame yourself too much."
Shirou raised his bloodshot eyes to look at Caren.
"Caren, why is it always Shinji? I don't understand..."
At this moment, the door to the intensive care unit opened, and Touko walked out carrying a small tool bag.
"It's simple, because he's too weak. Even with avalon, he was injured like this. Tsk!"
Caren looked up warily, shielding Shirou behind her.
"Sister Touko! You seem very fond of promoting strange ideas lately!"
"Is it strange? Heh, if you all stay this weak, maybe the next ones lying in there will be you!"
With that, Touko turned and walked toward the depths of the corridor.
At this time, Shirou, who had just fallen into thought because of Touko's words, looked up, grabbed Caren's shoulders, and asked,
"Caren! Are we really too weak?"
Chaldea Control Room.
Lev looked at the 'chaldeas' before him in disbelief, muttering to himself,
"How is it possible! One of the seven Singularities is already gone before they even unfolded!"
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening startled Lev. He quickly adjusted his expression and turned around.
Touko, walking into the Control Room from outside, looked with surprise at Lev, who was standing before 'chaldeas' with a smile, and asked,
"Lev, why are you here so late?"
"It's Touko. I just couldn't sleep tonight, so I came to take a look. What about you?"
Touko shook the data logbook in her hand.
"It's my shift today!"
Lev showed a look of sudden realization.
"It seems my energy has been a bit over-consumed fighting those guys from the Clock Tower recently. I actually forgot something like this."
Touko pushed her glasses up, the reflection on the lenses hiding her gaze. Then she turned around, picked up two paper cups from the table, and poured two cups of hot coffee from the pot.
"Come, have some coffee. But Lev, what exactly are you hiding?"
Lev took the coffee and was stunned by Touko's words, then a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"As expected of Touko, I really can't hide it from you! I was thinking about Aoko."
Hearing this, Touko no longer doubted. She casually placed her coffee on the table, then sat ungracefully on the commander's chair, resting her legs on the console, and looked at Lev playfully.
"You haven't given up on the idea of getting your hands on Aoko? But I'll say it again: give up! Although I don't want to admit it, that girl Aoko is indeed above me in terms of combat power. Moreover, Aoko will be coming to Chaldea in a while. If you still have this mindset, be careful not to get beaten up by her!"
Lev did not respond. Holding the coffee with both hands, he looked up at the time displayed on the large screen.
"It's getting late, Touko. I'll go back to my room first."
Touko squinted at Lev as he walked out of the Control Room and muttered to herself,
"Awkward fellow, actually full of 'lustful interest' for that girl Aoko!"
Walking out of the Control Room, a look of lingering fear appeared on Lev's face. If the person he had just met was someone else, he could have easily handled it. But for Touko, whom he considered a friend with similar thinking and techniques, he really had no confidence in dealing with her.
Fortunately, Touko knew about his desire for Aoko and his constant wish to have her, so he was able to use that as an excuse to get by.
"It seems the plan must be moved forward! Rin Tohsaka... truly a difficult person to deal with..."
As Lev disappeared at the end of the corridor, the vast Chaldea returned to silence.
On top of the building outside Chaldea, a place no one would think of, Rin stood in the freezing wind of Antarctica, tens of degrees below zero, with a light smile on her face.
"Finally can't hold it in anymore? BB!"
Accompanying Rin's soft call, BB appeared beside Rin with a smile.
"I'm here! Elder Sister."
"How is the current status of the Throne of Heroes?"
"Elder Sister, the cycle of good and evil for Kirei, Kiritsugu, and the others has been constructed. That fellow Gudako is also fulfilling the task of the King of Men well. The expansion of history is ongoing."
"The cycle of good and evil is built, and history is continuing its expansion. Now all that's left is the mythological history I lead. Lev, I'm really looking forward to the unfolding of your plan. Don't make me wait too long!"
After speaking, Rin looked up, using her magic-enhanced eyes to gaze through the swirling snow at the stars in the night sky, her fists unconsciously clenching.
At this moment, Rin seemed to have returned to her childhood, that little girl listening to the King of Conquerors' dream. '...This world in the future will be full of disasters until the end of humanity on the Land of Steel, but I will definitely change all of this. I, Rin Tohsaka, am dreaming of becoming a Demon God!'
'Yes, a Demon God! This is my, Rin Tohsaka's, destiny. Even though I now possess the power to fight most Servants, I am still surrounded by countless conspiracies. My family, friends, and partners are also constantly facing challenges. Only as a Demon God, by becoming a Demon God and transcending everything, can I change all of this and let my family, friends, partners, and myself obtain eternal happiness...'
"Elder Sister?"
Rin, her thoughts interrupted by BB's call, pulled herself away from her dream, turned around, and patted BB's head.
BB, having her head patted by Rin, was like a kitten, enjoying Rin's stroking with a face full of happiness.
"Fou!"
At this moment, Fou, who had run over from not far away following Rin's scent, saw this scene. It instantly accelerated, knocked BB aside, and positioned itself under Rin's hand, taking BB's place in enjoying Rin's stroking.
"You little beast!"
BB, who was knocked away, stood up from the snow with a face full of anger and pounced fiercely at Fou, soon scuffling and playing with him.
Rin watched the two little ones playing together with a smile and laughed happily.
"This is what I want to protect, I must protect all of this!"
Within the temple independent of time, 'Solomon' was startled, then a confident smile appeared on his face as he walked down from the throne to a group of Demon God Pillars.
"Hahahaha, it seems an interesting fellow has appeared. The plan is being moved forward, all of you go and prepare!"
A group of Demon God Pillars squirmed and made eerie sounds, seemingly in response to 'Solomon's' words, then one by one they burrowed into the earth and vanished from the temple.
"Know our great work, our ideals, and the true meaning of our birth! This planet is about to be reborn, and all life shall become a thing of the past! Praise us! Our name is Goetia! The Human Order Incineration Rite, Demon God King Goetia!"
Endless light emanated from Goetia, penetrating the timelines to reach every node in time, pulling back the curtain on the Incineration of Humanity!
