• On the Brittany battlefield, the High Priest left Cleopatra and entered the fight, using Praise the Gods to resist corruption and sacrificing parts of his body to summon black sand and thousands of mummies.

The High Priest sacrificed himself to strike the monster, but it survived and continued advancing as Chaldea argued over Rin’s decisions and prepared reinforcements. Cleopatra summoned the Serpent of Dawn to fight the monster at the French border, where Jeanne d’Arc, Marie, and Dion chose to stand with her.

• The High Priest gave his life to unleash Ra’s golden flames against the monster, and Cleopatra arrived too late to stop him.
• Gudako warned that the monster had survived the blast and was growing stronger by devouring everything in its path.

• The monster survived Cleopatra’s attack, transformed into a tentacled humanoid, and devoured hundreds of soldiers before attacking everyone nearby.
• Arisu and Sakura arrived with the Bridge Giant and fairy-tale creatures, which pinned down and assaulted the monster.

• Arisu and Sakura’s magical energy nearly ran out as the monster continued to regenerate and grow stronger.
• Gudako kept writing with an iron sword in hand while the others trusted her and Lainas maintained a recovery formation.

Rin returned to the battlefield and unleashed a devastating attack by dropping a conceptual projection of Venus onto the monster, causing an apocalypse across the Singularity. As the others sheltered from the destruction, Touko warned that Rin’s abnormal state was likely caused by the monster, and Rin began gathering power for another attack.

• Jeanne d'Arc prepared to use the Catherine Sword, but Gudako instead drew on France’s ley lines and fought the monster with Durandal and lightning until Rin returned.
• After nearly two hours of battle, Rin arrived, kicked the monster down, and took over the fight from Gudako.
• Rin summoned a starry portal and called down Venus, crushing the monster and devastating the Singularity as Jeanne d'Arc, BB, and Gudako protected the allied forces.
• After the destruction subsided, Rin activated Dragon Factor and began gathering magical energy again while Shinji held Avalon over the group.
• Touko forcibly activated the communicators and warned everyone that the monster had likely affected Rin’s condition, telling them to gather and protect themselves.

Rin’s rage in Ishtar form threatened to destroy the Singularity, while Scathach explained that defeating the evil god was the only way to restore her. Skadi froze the sea and the allies began their final assault, ending with Jeanne d’Arc’s Jörmungandr dragging the monster onto the ice.

• Skadi froze the ocean so the allies could fight the monster on the ice, while Black Saber used cursed flames and summoned Jörmungandr.
• Jeanne d’Arc’s Jörmungandr hauled the monster onto the ice and sprayed it with venom, but the monster retaliated with a mass of tentacles.

After the evil god’s monster was destroyed, Rin learned that her memoryless rampage had devastated France. Marie asked Rin to let the French join her world, and Rin was left to handle the Singularity’s relocation alone; thirteen days later, she and Shakespeare finished a massive rune at the Strait of Gibraltar.

• Saber Alter and Lily blasted apart the monster, and Jeanne d'Arc and Black Saber burned its remains until Lainas ordered Jeanne d'Arc to stop.

• Thirteen days later, Rin and Shakespeare finished a rune at the Strait of Gibraltar, but Shakespeare warned that activating the spell would require enormous magical energy.

Rin used Shakespeare’s Holy Relic to summon Sieg and the Greater Holy Grail, then used Sieg as a mana source to transfer the first Singularity to the Soul World. She also relocated the ruined Nordic world, freeing Surtr into the Sea of Lostbelt, and Ophelia awakened in Chaldea as the second Singularity’s Foundation of Humanity was restored.

• Rin returned to Chaldea with Scathach and Skadi as the second Singularity’s Foundation of Humanity was restored.

Ophelia recovered after Surtr was sealed into a Magic Crest, explored Rin’s Soul World, and agreed to join Rin’s plan. Chaldea identified Gae Dearg as its main immediate enemy, then learned the next Singularity was in Roman-ruled Europe in A.D. 60 as the Roman campaign began.

• Rin used a modified Command Spell to seal Surtr inside Ophelia’s Magic Crest, changing her affinity to fire, and Ophelia accepted the change.

• Rin chose athletics for herself and assigned Ophelia to music, planning to win both championships.
• The Nero Festival opened with Nero leading a lavish procession through Rome as citizens gathered coins and flower petals.

Rin watched Ophelia win second place in the Nero Festival music competition, then fled Nero’s disastrous singing and lied about missing it. After Nero promised a private concert for Chaldea, the athletic competition began with Rin entering the javelin event, where a contestant mocked her.

Rin Tohsaka stunned Rome by winning the javelin throw without magic and defeating Nero and Spartacus in the ten-thousand-meter race. After recovering from the exhausting sprint, she returned to the arena for the athletic games’ final event: the gladiatorial competition.

• Spartacus threw the javelin 127 Roman steps, prompting Rin to suspect that he was the legendary Ai-chan.

In Constantinople, Gudako struggled to infiltrate the inner citadel and asked Chaldea for help, prompting Da Vinci to tell her to prepare for Fate Summoning.

• Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash abandoned their attempt to enter Moscow after patrolling soldiers pursued them, and Rin told them to return to Rome for intelligence from Nero.

• Nero told Rin that she feared her uncle because his overwhelming kindness made her feel indebted to him.
• Rin revealed that she sought an alliance to obtain the Holy Grail and offered Nero a chance to change her fate and preserve the Roman Empire in another world.

Caligula reunited with Nero, revealed that he had summoned her and sealed her memories to give her a perfect life, then sacrificed himself to stop the Demon God Pillar after Nero declared him Rome’s enemy. More than ten days later, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash reached Rome and found Nero arguing with Rin about who would lead the army.

• Caligula returned to Rome and met Nero, who told him her memories had returned and refused to let him seal them again.
• Caligula revealed that he had made Nero’s life into a play to spare her the suffering of her true history, and Nero declared him an enemy of Rome.
