Upon hearing the blonde girl's words, the young woman referred to as ' Da Vinci ' paused noticeably.

A girl with short, orange-red hair and a girl with shoulder-length pink hair that almost covered one eye also looked over at the same time.

"Don't you know, Da Vinci -chan?" The red-haired girl tilted her head: Da Vinci- chan is Heroic Spirit too, right? And unlike Mash, who's a fake possessed by Heroic Spirit—

"Senior!" The pink-haired girl was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Sorry, sorry, I misspoke!" The girl scratched her head.

But Mash wasn't really angry, because when the red-haired girl said "you," it was actually what she wanted to ask "you."

According to the current Saber, the so-called Origin Universe should be the source of all Heroic Spirit, but Da Vinci seems completely unaware of it...

It's important to know that Da Vinci was also Heroic Spirit, and a highly renowned artist in Human History, one of the three giants of the Western Renaissance.

"But I really don't know." Da Vinci took a sip of coffee, his face thoughtful. "The Origin Universe, or what you call Chaldea, I have no recollection of it."

"If I truly possessed those memories, then there's no way I could have forgotten them—"

Da Vinci pointed to her own head. As an outstanding artist and polymath in Human History, she always had great confidence in her memory.

"Ah, this is what I wanted to say." Saber raised her red lips, her pretty and delicate face appearing quite energetic. "The Origin Universe occupies the most core area of Sea of Stars, and is the source of almost all worlds and Earths—almost all Heroic Spirit came from ' Chaldeas ' in the Origin Universe."

"But please note, it's 'several', not all of them, okay?"

"The Origin Universe Origin Universe also has regions that it cannot encompass, and places that it cannot influence."

For example—

"Destined to destroy spacetime, destined to destroy the world!"

The girl's clear voice echoed in the steel-encircled building, followed by a brief moment and the three of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

"You mean..." Da Vinci pondered the girl's words, "Our world will eventually be destroyed?"

"Is it because Incineration of Humanity?" The first thing the red-haired girl thought of was the Present Moment crisis facing the world they lived in.

Because of a huge deviation in key moments in Human History, Human Order has deviated, leading to collapse and a global catastrophe.

This world, ' Chaldeas ', is built atop a snow-capped mountain thousands of meters above the Earth's North Pole. It is a Human Order salvation organization jointly built by the governments of the Magecraft World and the Real World, and it was built precisely to deal with this level of disaster.

The red-haired girl was deeply impressed by this, not only because she herself was a member of Chaldeas, possessing ' Spiritron Transfer adaptability' and able to travel to various Human History through Chaldeas's internal facilities to 'repair' humans, but also because she was at the center of the storm.

Present Moment, the world, except for Chaldeas, is mostly empty. Before Human Order repairs it, the outside world is in a state of 'destruction'.

And the responsibility of repairing this thing undoubtedly falls on her— the Last Chaldeas, ' Ritsuka Fujimaru '.

Of course, Ritsuka Fujimaru was quite helpless about this. She was only the last of the forty-eight chieftains of Chaldeas, a candidate for chieftain, and it was not her place to do something like restoring Human Order.

However, just before the crisis was discovered, an explosion occurred in Chaldeas. The deputy director of Chaldea betrayed them and killed the other members of the Chaldeas who were preparing to travel to various eras to repair Human Order through Spiritron Transfer.

Because she overslept and was late, Ritsuka Fujimaru escaped unscathed, naturally became her only hope.

She also inexplicably underwent a Spiritron Transfer, and together with Mash Kyrielight, who was possessed by a Heroic Spirit, she repaired one of the original Singularity Point.

Yes, it's a success.

But every time she thinks back, Ritsuka can't feel happy.

"Senior, are you thinking about the director's business again?"

"Hmm... um."

Mash, having been seen through by Ritsuka, did not deny it. "Sorry—of course, it's still a little hard to let go."

"I was thinking, if I work a little harder, might I have a chance to save the director?" Ritsuka gave an embarrassed smile.

The deputy director of Chaldeas betrayed them, and the director, along with Ritsuka and Mash, was active in the Singularity Point when he was pushed into the burning lava by the deputy director and died a violent death.

This is an insurmountable Ritsuka for Ritsuka...

"Don't overthink it, you've already done your best!" Da Vinci patted Ritsuka on the shoulder. Although she was Heroic Spirit, she wasn't summoned after the Incineration of Humanity Crisis, but rather was summoned during the early construction of Chaldeas, the world of this world, as the 'Third Heroic Spirit '. In a sense, the Director—that girl named ' Olga Marie Asmirette Animusphere' —was someone she had watched grow up.

But that's precisely why they can't be discouraged.

Therefore, we must work even harder to restore Human Order.

To prevent the world from collapsing, at the expense of every single person, without any cost.

As for whether the Incineration of Humanity lead to the destruction of the world...

"It might be, it might not be." Saber's response was ambiguous. "Actually, I'm not quite sure either."

"However, I can be certain that this world is 'dead'." The blonde girl tilted her head back. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have responded to the summons!"

The Heroic Spirit of the Origin Universe can reach various worlds through the universe's ' Chaldeas ' system, but generally, they will travel to the universe voluntarily, except for worlds where they are destined to die.

If it is said that the duty of Chaldeas in this world is to save Human Order and thus save the world.

Therefore, the duty of the Origin Universe Chaldeas is to save all the dead universes.

And that's exactly why she came—the moment Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash returned from the Singularity Point, she immediately responded to the summons.

Chaldeas possesses the ability to summon Heroic Spirit, but previously, due to the immature timing, she only conducted three experimental summoning attempts.

Da Vinci was the third—

That's why it's the 'Third Heroic Spirit '.

However, when the girl's Heroic Spirit appeared before them, the system automatically activated.

Even Da Vinci, the "all-rounder" who took over the core technology management after the Chaldeas management team was almost completely wiped out, could not detect it.

That's why they're on high alert. Besides the Acting Director, Romani Archiman, who needs to monitor the situation at the Singularity Point at all times, almost everyone in Chaldeas is now here.

Inquire about 'suspicious person'.

"Then the question arises, why should we believe you?" Da Vinci asked, puzzled. "We don't even know your identity—"

"Hmm?" The blonde girl tilted her head. "Believe it or not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm just a precursor... or rather, just an anchor point?"

"Anchor point?"

Da Vinci, Ritsuka, Mash all paused in surprise.

"That's right, anchor point, or rather, positioning?"

Saber didn't mind at all. "There are countless Heroic Spirit in the Origin Universe, each one a powerful being who has integrated countless timelines and world lines. But there is only one who can bring a dead world line back to life—"

"The ' Rovi ' you're referring to?"

"That's right!"

Da Vinci wanted to say something more, to ask something more, but the next second, her ears twitched, and the words coming from the second level of her glasses made her expression change drastically.

"Ritsuka, Mash, there's something going on in Romani."

"A Singularity Point has appeared!"

Ritsuka and Mash stood up at the same time. No matter what, they were the only ones who could restore Human Order and save the world.

"Miss Sabre, please rest here. We'll be back soon!"

After leaving these words, Da Vinci was the first to leave the room.

Mash and Ritsuka followed closely behind... but just as Ritsuka to take a step away, she was suddenly called back.

"Miss Saber, is there something you need?"

"Well, it's not much, I just wanted to give you something."

The blonde girl handed something to Ritsuka, Ritsuka reached out and took it. "This is... a piece of cloth?"

"It's Holy Relic! Holy Relic!"

The blonde girl grinned. "After you enter the Singularity Point, use this to Heroic Spirit Summon —it can summon a very powerful helper, you know?"

"Hmm... okay." After hesitating for a moment, Ritsuka finally nodded. The first person she thought of was the one who had just been mentioned as the one who truly saved the world, and she was actually quite curious about him. "Thank you, Miss Saber."

"No need, this is my own business too!" Saber waved her hand, watching Ritsuka's figure disappear outside the door.

Does this mean... success is guaranteed?

"Mr. Rovi, the rest is up to you, okay?"

Saber... or rather, the side of the King of Knights of the Kingdom of Camelot in the Origin Universe, who once appeared in the form of a child in the universe as the Holy Sword wielder of Star A in the universe, Artoria Pendragon smiled.

She sat on the bed in the room, swinging her legs, her smile enigmatic.

The person she spoke of to Da Vinci, Ritsuka, and Mash was undoubtedly real, without any falsehood.

But the absence of falsehood does not mean the absence of concealment.

In fact, many things still happened after Rovi completed the construction of the Origin Universe.

Their opponents have long since moved from the planetary level to the cosmic level.

Cosmic level... The Old Ones.

"The mastermind behind the Incineration of Humanity in this world... those guys are definitely involved." This was what Rovi told her before arriving in this world, "After arriving, don't act rashly. Seize every opportunity and build a passage that will allow me to reach this world."

Task.

I've already finished!

Mr. Rovi!

The girl Artoria, fell backward to the ground, staring at the floor and blinking her azure eyes.

Now it's up to you!

"This Singularity Point is in 1431 AD... in Europe, France, during the Hundred Years' War."

"Keep communication open, the Spiritron Transfer is about to begin."

"Take care on your journey—"

Inside the Chaldeas Spiritron Transfer Chamber, the light was dazzling. A gentle-looking young man with a single ponytail stared intently at the 'globe' in front of him, a corner of which had been scorched by flames.

That is precisely the true form of ' Chaldeas' —a ritual that simulates the Earth's environment and observes the location of global crises.

Observation and positioning.

Then the transfer is carried out.

A streak of spiritual light flashed, and Ritsuka and Mash vanished from their spot.

"I hope it goes smoothly!" Romani Archman sighed, but his face showed some helplessness.

He was just a lazy bum in the logistics department... It's quite frustrating that he inexplicably became the Acting Director.

"Isn't this great? Talented people should have a stage to showcase their talents." Da Vinci brought over a cup of coffee. "And you should be interested in the news I brought."

"What news?"

"Do you know the name ' Rovi '?"

Romani Archman was taken aback.

Did you know...?

Of course I know!

Singularity Point.

The year was 1431.

Europe, France region.

As the light of the Spiritron Transfer intertwined and flickered, disintegrated into spirit particles and then reassembled, Ritsuka and Mash, who achieved the effect of time travel, opened their eyes at the same time.

"Is this... France during the Hundred Years' War?"

The sun blazed down overhead at midday, illuminating the vast wilderness before us. Wild grasses swayed in the breeze, and the view was unmistakably that of the wild.

The girl stood on the grass, her short red ponytail swaying in the wind. She wore the work uniform typical of Chaldeas staff, a brown coat that outlined her beautiful, youthful body, a black short skirt that hugged her shapely buttocks, and her legs that were tightly bound in black stockings and brown boots. She was voluptuous and fit, looking good yet able to move freely.

Beside her, Mash Kyrielight, who had been possessed by Heroic Spirit and thus possessed powers similar to those of Heroic Spirit, had also changed into a battle outfit. The black, fitted armor accentuated her full chest, and her bare shoulders and arms unexpectedly highlighted the fullness under her armpits. Her shapely buttocks and bare, fair thighs further emphasized the charm of her girlish figure compared to Ritsuka.

"No matter how many times I look at it, I still feel... disgusted?"

"Senior--"

"Um, sorry, sorry, I just blurted it out without thinking!" Although she said she was apologizing, there was no remorse on Ritsuka's face.

Mash's cheeks puffed out involuntarily, just like before, without any life.

Ritsuka's personality is just like that, with a worldly playfulness that people from orthodox Magecraft families don't possess, and... there's not a trace of anything unusual in the way she looks at herself.

He felt no contempt whatsoever for himself, this abnormal android created by a combination of technology and mystery.

"Let's find the source of the Singularity Point first!" Ritsuka straightened her face. As a candidate among candidates for Master, she was actually lacking in guidance, after all, she had already experienced it once.

One thing can be learned quickly, and at least in this aspect, Ritsuka has a talent for it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen as the ' Master '.

"That's right, Ritsuka." On the other end of the communication cable, Romani Archaman of Chaldeas agreed, "The intelligence is..."

"Senior, wait, your Command Spell..."

"Forehead?"

Ritsuka's steps suddenly stopped.

She suddenly lowered her head.

Looking at his own hand— Chaldeas has a ' Heroic Spirit Summon System', similar to the Great Holy Grail that was once built in Fuyuki, Japan.

Therefore, Ritsuka, as the ' Master ', naturally possesses Command Spell.

And now.

The Command Spell is glowing.

The glowing Command Spell are the prelude to ' Heroic Spirit Summon '.

How is that possible?

Even though she hardly attended any classes after entering Chaldeas, she still knew some basic esoteric knowledge.

Summoning Heroic Spirit requires at least Holy Relic, a basic True Magic circle, and the ' Spirit Origin Origin' to carry the Heroic Spirit's manifestation... Wait, Holy Relic!?

Ritsuka suddenly pulled out the piece of cloth that Saber had given her.

The fabric was also glowing.

It was at this moment that a sudden inspiration struck, or as if, in ancient mythology, a divine revelation was given to humankind.

Ritsuka suddenly realized what this was.

This is... the Holy Shroud!?

"Ritsuka, what happened on your end?" Romani's voice was anxious. "Chaldeas's detection shows that the magical power on your end is rising rapidly, almost like a Category 20 storm—"

To Romani's reply came a startled voice, "Dr. Romani, do you think... the descent of Heroic Spirit is possible...?"

"Is it Spirit Origin on the 'world'?"

Romani suddenly raised his head and looked at the huge globe at the front of the Spiritron Transfer Chamber.

Up there.

The light shone brightly.

In Europe and France, a storm of Wild Hunt was brewing.

What it brought was not destruction.

Instead, it's about... building.

The summoning of Heroic Spirit does indeed require a True Magic circle, which is needed to construct the basic True Magic Spirit Origin.

In essence, the so-called True Magic circle is just a medium.

As long as your skill level is high enough, using a True Magic circle is no different from using anything else.

With wild grass, with fierce winds, with hills, with the earth...

Use the land where Ritsuka stands at this moment.

The same applies—

This is exactly what Ritsuka and Mash are experiencing right now, and what they are watching right now.

A majestic light descended upon the world from the heavens.

"Lord—"

In a place where sandstorms raged, a saintess in a khaki armor held a France Fleur-de-lis Banner, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Jeanne Darc, French Hero and Catholic saint who was active in the Hundred Years' War, prayed devoutly here.

Also French Singularity, but located in the heart of the France heartland, atop a towering castle, a jet-black dragon suddenly raised its head and roared furiously. A black figure standing before it, its golden eyes deep and thoughtful, asked, "What's going on...?"

"Damn it, damn it!"

Deep within the castle, a gaunt man with bulging eyes glared angrily. "Damn it, how could He descend in person? How could this place be worthy of His personal descent?"

"We must find a way, we must find a way—"

"We can't let a single penny go unpaid!"

The man frantically flipped through the brown book tattooed with human faces, countless writhing tentacles emerging from its pages. A chaotic, indescribable atmosphere filled the basement. "Chaos, disorder, madness, sublimity, eeriness, darkness..."

"O endless god existing in the ultimate abyss... give me revelation, give me revelation!" The babbling echoed wildly, spreading madness.
