Emiya Kiritsugu was naturally surprised.

As one of the original Einzbern, Tohsaka, and Matou families who created the Great Holy Grail of Fuyuki, and an outsider invited by the Einzbern Family, he was well aware of the origins of the so-called Holy Grail War.

The Fuyuki ley line magic managed by the Tohsaka Family, the incomplete inheritance of the Second Magic mastered by the Einzbern Family, Fey Ritsu formula of the Matou Family... These three items, especially the latter two, are absolutely rare in the world of Magecraft.

Not to mention that even with all three elements gathered, the successful construction of the Great Holy Grail would still be a miracle within a miracle.

According to the language records left by the head of the Einzbern Family at that time, the success rate was less than one in ten thousand.

How could such a miraculous thing appear again in this world?

To say it's a replica is understandable.

After all, having a sample means that replicating it based on that sample has a probability of success that is billions of times higher than exploring from scratch.

However, there is none.

The Great Holy Grail of Fuyuki has always been there.

No one has ever taken it away.

No one has ever been able to analyze it.

"Where did this Great Holy Grail come from?"

The train lurched and swayed as it sped along the tracks toward Tokyo. Emiya Kiritsugu looked up and gazed at the opposite side.

The woman with black hair, capable and sassy, was undoubtedly his subordinate.

A person named ' Hisau Maya '.

Hisau Maya's brows furrowed tightly.

"Should we inquire with the Einzbern Family...?"

"No, never mind," Emiya Kiritsugu, sitting back down in his seat on the train. "Asking them won't make any difference."

"After all... if it wasn't mentioned, it's either because they don't trust me enough, or they don't know either."

"No matter which one, there will be no reply."

"So--"

"Go and see for yourself, and you'll see for yourself!"

A snap.

The train arrived at the station, and a crisp announcement echoed through the empty station, "The Shinkansen train has arrived in Tokyo District."

What will be the result of the appearance of the second Holy Grail?

The strengthening of the Servant came from the Thousandfold.

And... the appearance of new Heroic Spirit.

The Servant appear in the present world are either deceased Heroic Spirit who have descended from their 'throne', or past beings who are not adapted to the rules of the present world and arrive in the present world by putting on a layer of skin through their own records engraved on the Throne of Heroes.

Without a doubt, they are able to operate in the mortal world only by relying on the power of their Spirit Origin granted by the Great Holy Grail.

There was an extra Holy Grail.

This means their Spirit Origin has doubled.

The adaptation to the rules on the physical 'membrane' of the present world has also been doubled.

As for the appearance of new Heroic Spirit, it goes without saying.

Yes, new Heroic Spirit have appeared—

The night sky over Tokyo was dark, but the lights shone brightly.

Yu Ji's movements came to an abrupt halt. She didn't really want to blow herself up. After all, she was the Queen of Heaven who had ruled the mystical world of Shenzhou for many years. Even if she was irritable and easily angered, she couldn't possibly be truly stupid.

She was just using the threat of self-destruction as leverage.

Have the other Servant step down.

However, this sudden change and the sudden increase in her Spirit Origin caused the half-activated 'self-destruct mode' within her body, which she had only intended to pretend to be, to become unbalanced.

Then she really exploded.

With a loud crash and billowing dust, Yu Ji's figure vanished into the distance.

"Pfft, hahaha... Are you trying to make me laugh to death?" Tamamo no Mae instantly gloated and seized the opportunity to mock him.

Xu Fu was stunned.

It really... exploded?

The sudden self-destruction was not very powerful, and even Rovi, who was very close by, was not affected.

Rovi was speechless.

If you're going to self-destruct, can you take me with you?

It's over.

This is truly hopeless...

Fortunately, at that moment, everyone else was briefly drawn to the newly appeared Holy Grail.

"The Holy Grail?"

The first to react was Artoria Pendragon. Following a strange intuition, the former King of Knights slowly raised the Holy Spear 'Rhongomyniad' in her hand.

A beam of light shot into the sky, standing firm between heaven and earth, connecting the sky and the earth, as if opening some kind of passage.

Indistinct figures appeared amidst the radiance.

That is...

"Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake."

A figure clad in heavy armor landed heavily on the ground from the sky.

"Knight of the Sun, Gawain."

A tall, blond figure emerged from the high-rise building.

"The Knight of Sadness, Tristan."

A figure with long, bright red hair followed closely behind.

One after another, they appeared...

One after another, another appeared.

"Your Majesty, it seems we are not too late."

"Ah, I never expected to get you guys out here." Artoria smiled.

The holy lance in the hands of the mature and beautiful King of Knights was like a banner waved on the battlefield.

At this moment, facing the commander's banner are loyal and courageous knights.

In the past, in the Holy Kingdom of Camelot, the Knights of the Round Table stood guard beside the throne...

Artoria,

It used itself as a 'medium' to complete the summoning.

"Hmm? And they're all acquaintances?"

Nero tilted his head.

"Yes, Your Her Majesty Nero, it's been a long time!"

The red-clad ' Tristan ' waved, then tugged at her flowing gown and looked at Rovi, who was surrounded by the crowd. "Long time no see, Lord Rovi!"

"Lord Rovi, it's been a long time!"

Gawain's imposing, exaggeratedly tall figure stood there, a smile on his face, "We've been waiting for you to come back!"

Look—

"Your successor is well protected!"

"My lord." Lancelot slowly knelt.

Rovi: "..."

Without a doubt, those who appeared in response to the light of the Holy Lance were Fey Knight who existed since Roman times.

They, too, became Knights of the Round Table King Arthur.

Is it because he regarded Artoria, who had pulled out the Holy Lance, as his successor...? After all, his will does indeed exist within the Holy Lance, so there's no doubt about that.

However, there are still differences.

"Isn't she a fairy?"

"Of course, we all became 'humans', you know?" Tristan —or rather, 'Hi'—raised her slender, jade-like fingers hidden beneath her cloud-like sleeves and smiled. "After you left, we all left our fairy bodies in the world of the Demon and transformed into completely human bodies."

"Ah, after all, only a human body can fight alongside you, right?" Knight ' Gawain ' Barghest grinned, his laughter full of heart. "I'm looking forward to following you into another war!"

' Lancelot ' Merlin didn't speak, but just stared at Rovi without moving, his meaning already clear.

"That's right, Lord Rovi!" Artoria spoke up at the right moment, raising the Holy Lance high, its radiant light making her appear as majestic as a goddess. "Come to the Kingdom of Camelot, and together with me... continue this glorious past!"

"Hmm? This... won't do!"

Nero interrupted their murmur, "The players are mine, they are Romans."

"Your Her Majesty Nero, you are only one person, and you cannot stop us!" Barghest said.

One...?

"That's not necessarily true," Nero said with a smile.

Artoria narrowed her azure eyes, and the Knights of the Round Table were instantly filled with inexplicable thoughts.

Nero opened her arms, raised her head, and smiled.

"I am the Roman Emperor, the King of the World."

"The world is Rome."

"Rome, in my hands... manifest!"

Nero Claudius waved his hand, and in that instant, the emperor's privilege spread, bringing forth yet another ray of light.

Rose petals appeared out of nowhere, spreading like flames...

It is a brand new Reality Marble.

It is a desolate wilderness.

It was a well-organized army, with flags fluttering in the wind.

Spears, shields, javelins, chariots... as far as the eye can see, there is a sea of people, their armor clashing and scraping against each other, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The Roman legions.

Nero's Legion.

Even more...

Rovi's Legion!

"I have the Holy Grail too." Nero gently held the light in her hand, glancing at Rovi with a charming smile.

Imperial Privilege...

That's how they do whatever they want.

The creation of the Holy Grail was extremely difficult, a true miracle, but for Nero, the King of the World, replicating it was not difficult.

The emperor's power of permission can be described as doing whatever he pleases within the bounds of Human Order.

Unfortunately, the Great Holy Grail, the other end of the link, the ' Throne of Heroes ' located outside the world, is itself a part of Human Order.

Analysis and replication.

The structure was built afterward.

This process was even easier for her.

Even though there's only one, it's enough.

She conjured the Great Holy Grail out of thin air, and with it... summoned her own Rome, herself, and Rovi's Roman Legion!

Artoria's expression was solemn. She had thought she had summoned the maximum number of Servant the new Holy Grail could provide, and had even illegally summoned more, but her opponent still had a way...

"Truly worthy of being the King of the World."

"As expected of Yu, the perfect Yu... What do you say, Lady Boudica?"

"There's nothing I can do. Although I created Camelot, I am still a member of the Roman Legion." The red-haired figure stepped out from the opened Reality Marble, his long hair flowing, his body full and agile, exuding a heroic and dashing air.

She looked across at the other side. "My name is Boudica, Frontline Commander of the Roman Legion."

"Let me see your strength, my juniors!"

"Ancestors..." Artoria's azure eyes fell silent.

They showed no intention of backing down.

To seize Rovi, to welcome Camelot's true 'King,' and even more so to touch the moonlight that once resided in her heart... From the very beginning, Artoria had made ample preparations. "So, what follows will be a war between nations?"

"Hmm? Perhaps!"

Nero smiled confidently, "The decision is mine, and there is no room for discussion on this point."

"Then let's give it a try..."

Before Artoria could finish speaking, she was interrupted, "Tch, a bunch of self-absorbed bums, aren't you taking me too lightly?"

It was Atalanta spoke.

What came into view was a sky obscured by clouds, and the slowly descending...

A massive interstellar warship.

Sitting at the bow of the crescent-shaped warship, the beautiful figure of the woman with shaky breasts swayed her full breasts, crossed her legs, and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, Atalanta."

"Rovi, my Rovi."

"We've finally met again!"

Artemis leaped from the starship and landed lightly on the ground. "For the past two thousand years, I've been, I've been working so hard to find you, haven't I?"

Atalanta followed closely behind, leaping from a tall building on one side.

A massive Starfleet stretched across it, like a dark cloud, reflecting the bright moonlight and gleaming with a cold, mechanical sheen.

"This pressure... is another formidable opponent!"

Artoria frowned.

Nero made a "mmmmm" sound, "Diana, the moon goddess...?"

"Bad Ming, Rovi, is mine." Attila, who seemed to have a low profile, spoke up, but at this moment, no one dared to ignore her.

The heavy aura emanating from raising the sword made everyone feel as if they were being suppressed.

The power of the all-seeing Harvest Star Vanguard that can overcome all darkness.

Unlike Artoria and Nero, she did not summon the empire she had once built, nor did she call upon her former subordinates.

Because she is a nation in herself.

One sword, and an army is formed!

Attila the King of the Huns, Artemis, Goddess of the Moon, Artoria the King of Knights, and Nero Claudius the Roman Emperor.

At this moment, the four were almost in a standoff.

Surrounding the four directions where Rovi stood,

All four were determined to win; they came with great force and were unlikely to leave empty-handed.

Now, Rovi wants to throw the Holy Grail in their faces, to tell them that this is their true goal...

Artemis reached out to hug Rovi, wanting to squeeze him with her full breasts.

Artoria, however, suddenly dismounted from the sky and leaped down, wielding her Rhongomyniad, which stirred up a golden storm to block Artemis. Then she reached out her other hand to grab Rovi.

Nero appeared just in time, unleashing the Primordial Fire to block Artoria, and then went to capture Rovi.

Attila also made a move.

The Sword of the God of War, wielded with great force, left a dazzling trail in the air.

The four collided in the air, surrounding Rovi, and in the end, the four of them were squeezed around Rovi, none of them willing to let go.

Artemis was closest, her legs raised, her heart fluttering, her full, plump thighs rubbing against his, soft and beautiful, as she murmured, "Rovi, Rovi..."

"This is mine!" Nero also brought her own heart closer, because both hands were used to defend against the attacks of others, so she could only use her own heart to push away Artemis's fullness, both of them pressing down on Rovi at the same time.

Attila lifted her legs and wrapped them around his waist, rocking him up and down face to face. "You bad Ming..."

"Lord Rovi, stop resisting! The knights are waiting for you!" Artoria had already released her holy lance. This small area was not suitable, so she even took off her armor and hugged Rovi from behind.

With just a slight movement, Rovi could touch certain beautiful areas.

No, it's the same even if you don't move.

These four guys have completely lost their minds...

NMD.

Why?

"Ah, what a rare sight indeed! No, it doesn't feel that rare."

Barghest shook his head. "As expected of Lord Rovi, he's really popular!"

"I'm so envious... no, I mean it's so weird, um!" Bufan Xi blushed slightly and covered his mouth as if he had said something wrong.

Unable to participate in this dispute, Xu Fu had already been pushed aside by an invisible force, her face slightly flushed.

She retreated to a corner, next to Tamamo no Mae.

"That's my spot! Damn it, Migu!" Tamamo no Mae gritted her teeth and blew out.

Meanwhile, the three bare tails gradually grew fine down.

Atalanta bowed down in prayer. "Lady Artemis, victory is assured!"

Then.

Bring Rovi to my side!

"Still a bunch of reckless people, don't you think, Martha?" Boudica flicked her long hair and looked to the side.

What came into view was a head of long purple hair and a pair of purple eyes. "To touch my lord's body is to receive endless radiance!"

The girl taming the dragon looked eager; if it weren't for her lack of strength, Boudica had no doubt that she would have charged forward immediately.

"..."

At that very moment, the wind began to howl.

It was as if something had blown by.

It was as if something was rising up.

Beep... beep... beep.

Artoria frowned slightly, her ears twitched, and she definitely heard something.

Nero also paused for a moment.

Artemis reached out again, but Attila swung her elbow and bumped into her.

Then they all heard the sound at that moment.

"The satellite orbiting the Great Wall of East Asia received the order to deploy... The code name of the order originates from—[Queen Mother of the West]."

"The Great Wall Orbit is deployed."

"[Repulsion Cannon], prepare to throw."

"3...2...1..."

The four of them looked up and saw countless lights flashing and connecting in the sky, which looked like a dragon from afar.

Or perhaps it was originally a dragon.

That is...

"The Great Wall of satellite orbits that China spent a century building to encircle Asia... that woman actually used this thing!?"

Tamamo no Mae was stunned.

"Huh? -- Eh!!?" Xu Fu opened his mouth, his face full of surprise.

In this world,

Physics is nothing more than a thin film pinned to the surface of the earth.

The unknown planet is also the unknown world, and the membranes on the surface of the unknown world are all unknown, and each has its own rules.

Once separated from Earth, the laws of physics become inapplicable.

In today's world, only one country can truly escape Earth's influence.

That is the Divine Land Huaxia, which combines mystery with technology.

The object that appeared in the sky was a product of the perfect combination of mystery and technology—a satellite orbit codenamed 'The Great Wall'.

Essentially, it is an upward-floating 'earth vein' surrounded by steel, shrouding the entire skies of East Asia.

This is how Divine Land monitors and manipulates all the earth's veins in East Asia!

This is why, even though China never intervenes in external affairs, countless countries still dare not defy its existence.

Xu Fu had certainly heard of its existence, but this was indeed the first time he had seen it appear in the sky with his own eyes.

Tamamo no Mae's expression became even more solemn... She never imagined that Yu Ji would actually use this thing.

Just for Rovi... well, honestly, she would have done the same.

And in this card, the Great Wall Orbit displayed instantly reveals its power.

—Repulsive force.

The light flashed, like a dragon blinking.

Time and space seemed to freeze in that instant.

Centered around Rovi.

Artoria, Nero, Attila, and Artemis were all pushed away at that moment.

"What?"

"Hmm!?"

"Bad Ming—"

"Rovi, my Rovi!"

Unexpected reaction, unexpected voice, such a change was something no one had anticipated.

They were alert to the sky.

This repulsive force, however, originates from underground.

The 'earth veins' suspended in the sky resonate, causing an invisible repulsive force to be generated on the ground.

This originates from the power of 'Heaven'.

"A warning from China!?" Almost instantly, a message spread throughout the world's surface and depths via the ' Great Wall Orbit '.

The country, which was known as the strongest nation, immediately convened a high-level international conference.

Numerous high-ranking officials flocked to the destination.

Meanwhile, in the Otherworld, the mysterious center of the Western world and the headquarters of the Mage's Association had long ago moved from Rome to London, Britain, and rebuilt a clock tower as its symbol. Inside the ' Clock Tower,' figures were also bustling about.

"A message has arrived from the Spiral Pavilion in China—"

"Japan? The Holy Grail War?"

"Why are those guys over there so prepared for this ritual that I've only heard about from others?!"

The very top of the clock tower.

People gathered, and countless shadows appeared around the large conference table.

"Is everyone here? Lord of each department?"

The leader's voice was crisp and youthful.

A voice responded, "The Lord the Department of Mineralogy has arrived; he has already gone to Fuyuki."

"Fuyuki?" The man's delicate brows furrowed slightly. "Never mind... let him go. Just send him a notification later."

"Everyone else is here, let's begin!"

"I think you all have some idea of why I have summoned you all here today." The person raised her slender, fair hand and patted the Projection behind her.

The ancient Chinese characters displayed on the Projection rippled uncontrollably.

Few dared to look directly at them.

Because of the ancient word "".

It contains an extremely ancient mystery.

Deciphering mysteries requires a certain level of Magecraft skill; otherwise, it may result in injury.

This is a principle similar to the one in the oracle, "Do not look directly at God."

"Did the Chinese Immortal himself write the word ""..."

"Mr. Marisbury, have you made any discoveries?"

"No, no, I've just always had a strong interest in that land."

"If you are interested, you will likely see this often in the future—" the Lord with the clear voice at the head of the table said, "This message from the Divine Land Immortal has revealed a certain situation."

"China will no longer stand apart from the world!"

The Divine Land will demonstrate its strength to the world.

They will tell the world clearly.

My vast land, the great nation of China.

We have been waiting for Heaven for a thousand years!
