Chapter 301

A brand new Planet, the destruction of humanity—this is what it once hoped for, but now it is disappointed, which is why it stands idly by as its entire being acts.

The Demon God King made this judgment.

So he rose from his Throne and coldly gazed at all the Demon God Pillar, which caused the Demon God Pillar to cheer collectively.

The time for awakening has come!

The destined time has come!

The time for transformation has come!

The long-awaited moment has arrived!

The time for pioneering has come!

The Demon God King commanded all the Demon God Pillar to open their arms:

"The end of humanity's journey, the End Times of Human History, and my great undertaking to rebuild this star—"

"Praise be to the joy of life!"

In an instant, throughout the many eras of Human History, a halo that at first glance appeared in the azure sky seemed to encircle the Earth, containing unimaginable and terrifying heat—and this was also—

The moment when human history was completely declared to have come to an end.

At the same time, an inexplicable explosion occurred in the control room of Chaldea, where the first Spiritron Transfer experiment was being prepared. This caused a brief power outage, plunging Chaldea into darkness. Even in the darkness that plunged people into panic, Chaldea's broadcast system continued to operate.

"Emergency situation: Fire has broken out at the central power plant and central control room. The isolation barrier in the central area will close in 90 seconds. Staff are requested to evacuate immediately through the second gate."

"Control room?!"

Romani quickly regained his senses and checked the situation in the control room, only to find it engulfed in flames.

"How tragic..."

Ritsuka murmured to herself as she frantically searched through the surveillance footage.

"Fujimaru, you need to go to safety quickly. I need to get to the control room. The isolation wall is about to close; you have to get outside before then!"

Just as Romani called out to Ritsuka, Fou popped out of the doorway, jumped onto her shoulder, and uttered a "Fou!" This made Ritsuka make a decision. She nodded, clenched her fist, and said to Romani:

"I understand! Let's go rescue Consultant Novia!"

And so, the two of them, along with Fou, headed to the control room, which was engulfed in flames.

"... No one survived, only Chaldeas was unharmed...?"

"Actually, that's not the case; I'm just still repairing Trismegistus."

Just when Romani thought no one had survived, Novia emerged from the sea of fire carrying Mash.

"Romani, go to the underground power plant. We can't let Chaldea's Ember go out."

After giving the instructions to Romani, Novia said to Ritsuka, "Ritsuka, you hold Mash for now... I'm sorry for having you perform the Spiritron Transfer without any testing, but I hope you can accept it."

"... Although I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to do, I will definitely do what Novia said!"

Ritsuka, holding Mash in her arms, nodded firmly at Novia.

For some reason, despite being on the verge of life and death, the girl, who had just graduated from High School, felt no fear whatsoever. Instead, she felt a strange excitement about being with Novia.

Immediately afterwards, Novia shouted at Trismegistus:

"With the highest authority of the Atlas Institute, it is declared that the entire project is complete and the first designation is about to begin, but the vital signs of the Master inside the basket have not reached the baseline value."

"Therefore, Ritsuka Fujimaru, with the competency Numbering 49, is reassigned as Master, the Anti-Summoning System is activated, and Spiritron Conversion begins."

Novia had already thought things through. Since Mash a Demi-Servant -Demi-Servant, it was only natural for her to become one herself.

Anyway, I don't even know my own name.

Somewhere in the Fuyuki Singularity.

"This aura..."

Cú Chulainn, the great Celtic hero appearing as Class Magecraft with a hood, gazed at the seemingly eternally burning sky above and revealed a mature smile that was unlike his usual self. "A disaster of this level alone could actually draw that guy out? Well, that makes sense, he really is like that. It's a pity we already took him straight to the Heroic Spirit Hall..."

Then, Cú Chulainn pulled down his hood, revealing his face completely, and beamed a radiant smile at the distant city, specifically at 'Coordinate Point No. 0':

"Are you ready to receive the true brilliance of the stars, King of Knights of Britain?"

Guda: Need to replenish my mana?. jpg

Chapter 349 After the Priest comes the Pope, isn't that normal?

"So, Consultant Novia, you, like me, had your abilities and Noble Phantasm transferred to you by a Heroic Spirit?"

"That's right, I've become Demi-Servant."

Inside Singularity F, Novia, who was undergoing Spiritron Transfer together, was communicating with Mash, who had already obtained the power of Galahad, Knights of the Round Table, while Ritsuka Fujimaru was still unconscious on the ground.

"But Consultant Novia, your appearance hasn't changed at all. Don't you have any armor like my large shield?"

"No, I don't know that Heroic Spirit's name either, just like you. It's probably because they haven't been officially recognized yet."

Mash raised her large shield appropriately, while Novia crossed her arms and shook her head.

Chaldea had originally prepared Servant to investigate and resolve Singularity F, and in that emergency, no one could really delve too deeply into anything.

"However, it doesn't seem to be a single Heroic Spirit, but rather an aggregation of many Heroic Spirit; in short, I see many similarities among them."

After saying that, Novia waved her hand and used her Od to create some blank Cards, pointing to one of Cards.

"For example, I currently possess the abilities of this Heroic Spirit, while the remaining Servant, due to various circumstances, cannot immediately grant me these abilities, that's how it is."

While situations like Novia described are practically nonexistent in regular Holy Grail War, they are not entirely nonexistent. Leaving aside the Human Order Incineration, even Sigma in the recent Snowfield Holy Grail War, had a group of 'Captain' whose figures were shadows of many Heroic Spirit. Moreover, there are similar situations in the world of Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya.

Furthermore, Novia felt that doing this would make it easier to handle certain situations in future Singularity.

Currently, Favia is a Priest, so it's quite normal for him to be an ordinary Pope next, right?

"I see..."

Mash didn't seem particularly disappointed; instead, she gave Novia a bright smile.

"No matter what, it's really great to have you by my side as Consultant. Even though I've become Demi-Servant, I'm still very scared, so this is a huge help."

"In that case, let's work hard to create a good environment for Mash after her Master awakens. Although I'm not exactly a combat- Heroic Spirit right now, my support abilities are quite strong."

"Yes!"

Novia looked around at the numerous skeleton soldiers and dragon tooth Dragon Tooth Warrior, as well as the two unconscious Servant, one a Lancer and the other an Assassin. Although they could all be easily dealt with, Novia naturally wanted to let Mash.

As Mash wielded her great shield and advanced, water poured down from the sky, gathering together and gradually adhering to Mash's body, slowly solidifying and taking on the texture of cloth.

This is an item created by Novia using the EX-level Pretender, which provides Mash with a powerful buff. With this buff, Mash can easily defeat the enemy in front of her.

After everything was resolved, Mash asked Novia, puzzled:

"Speaking of which, my Master? You mean Ritsuka Fujimaru, right? Aren't you Fujimaru's Servant, Consultant? How did you manage to supply Od?"

It's normal for the Pink-Haired Girl to be confused. Even among Class, there are very few Servant who can survive for a long time without Master.

"Well, I don't know either. It wouldn't be a bad idea for Ritsuka to become my Master, since my Od is indeed quite abundant."

"There was nothing I could do about it, but it's really great to have your help, Consultant. Without you, I'd probably be running around with my Master's still unconscious."

Perhaps recalling the help she had just received, Mash showed deep gratitude.

In fact, based on her personal feelings, the Pink-Haired Girl had a high degree of trust and respect for Novia, the Consultant. This was probably because she felt that the person Fou liked couldn't be a bad person. And from their time together, she truly felt that the person's name matched his. In other words, if the First Pope really appeared, she would also feel that it was perfectly normal for someone like Novia, the Consultant, to share the same name with him.

"After returning to Chaldea, my Master and I will definitely express our sincere gratitude to you, Consultant."

"... ah..."

Just as Mash was about to say something to Novia, Ritsuka let out a soft groan. Hearing this, the two quickly helped her up and waited for her to regain her senses before explaining the situation, since Ritsuka Fujimaru had only just entered Chaldea and knew nothing about it.

So, a few minutes later, after learning the whole story from Novia, Ritsuka Fujimaru naturally wore the bewildered expression of a recent high school High School who had just graduated from school when something completely beyond his worldview suddenly happened.

"It's still so hard to understand. What's with all this mysterious Future observation? How am I supposed to understand all this all of a sudden?"

Ritsuka spread her arms wide in an exaggerated gesture and shrugged, "I'm just an ordinary person, and I just graduated from High School."

"But, Master, if you don't understand what these Novia Consultant are saying—"

"However, I do understand one thing."

The girl glanced at Novia before standing up. She squinted in the light of the Purgatory flames and gently raised her right hand, giving Novia and Mash a thumbs-up.

"To survive, we must fight to the very end... Novia, that's what you meant earlier, right?"

"Absolutely right."

Novia nodded, then glanced at Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was wearing Chaldea Mystic Code.

"... What's wrong?"

"Ritsuka, the outfit you're wearing now is the one you changed into when you reached Antarctica at Chaldea, right?"

"This one?"

Ritsuka her sleeves slightly and said with a smile, "It was indeed something they put on me when I first arrived in Antarctica. It's quite warm, considering how cold Antarctica is. At first, I thought it was one of those pyramid schemes where you have to spend a lot of money to buy thermal underwear later, since I remember wearing such thin clothes."

"Actually, if you become a full-fledged Master, there are three more Mystic Codes for you, but let's talk about that after we resolve the Fuyuki issue and return to Chaldea."

"Three sets, ah, I remember now, Master..."

Upon hearing Novia's words, Mash immediately spoke excitedly to Ritsuka.

"It's Chaldea's Combat Suit, the Mage's Association Uniform, and the Atlas Uniform, which was personally perfected by Novia, the Consultant from the Atlas Institute! The Consultant once secretly told me that it was an experimental Mystic Code made with the aim of 'creating the strongest being.' Since it's not perfected yet, it will probably be ready once we resolve the Fuyuki matter. Everyone was really looking forward to it."

"Atlas Institute, what kind of academy is that...?"

"Sorry, I forgot that you, Master, don't know much about Magecraft. Let's just assume it's an organization of very capable people; many things at Chaldea are made possible by their support."

Ritsuka, barely accepting this knowledge, nodded in response.

The outfit 'Creating the Strongest Being'—what a peculiar title... But it was personally designed by Novia, so I'm somewhat looking forward to it. It should look pretty good. Her height and weight should be listed, so should I know her measurements...?

Just as Mash was about to speak, a cry for help that sounded very familiar to them suddenly came from not far away.

Upon hearing the sound, the three exchanged glances and looked in the direction of the sound, immediately spotting the White-Haired Goddess woman who was panicking and looking extremely disheveled.

Olga Marie, the Director of Chaldea.

However, compared to Ritsuka and Mash, who were well-prepared for battle, Novia narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw the Servant walking unhurriedly behind Olga Marie.

To him, it was an acquaintance he hadn't seen for many years.

That is, Cú Chulainn, the great Celtic hero Present World as Class Caster, the Child of Light of Ireland.

Of course, while he appears to be Cú Chulainn, he is actually the Norse god-king.

Odin.

"Mash? The Consultant? And Fujimaru, what are you doing here?! Ahhh, whatever, it doesn't matter anymore, just come save me!!!"

With Cú Chulainn following slowly behind, the director, Director jogging along, revealed a look of surprise in his amber eyes, and his legs seemed to have gained some power, making him run much faster than before.

Then, when Olga Marie saw the Command Spell on Ritsuka Fujimaru's hand, her eyes widened in surprise.

... Ritsuka Fujimaru signed a contract? Who was it?

Seeing the scene before her, coupled with various other factors, Olga Marie's already confused mind became even more chaotic, making it impossible for her to calm down.

"Oh dear, little girl, I defeated the Servant who almost killed you and tried to threaten you, and I protected you all the way. Yet now you're still so wary of me."

Cú Chulainn, essentially Odin, looked at the four of them and said with a smile, "This could make me—"

"Are you kidding me?!"

Cú Chulainn's words were interrupted by the Director, who hadn't yet calmed down, "Who would believe you if you suddenly appeared out of nowhere! You might even burn me to death with that giant straw man of yours!"

"That was all to save you."

However, it was clear that Cú Chulainn's words could not calm Director Olga down. The White-Haired Girl was panting heavily, as if preparing for the next question, but at that moment, Novia walked towards Cú Chulainn and bowed to him.

"Thank you for saving the Director of Chaldea. I am Novia, the maintenance Consultant of Chaldea."

"You..."

Olga Marie immediately deflated, and the questions she had been holding back vanished.
