Everyone looked at Su Mo, who was stomping on Cú Chulainn, with shocked and bewildered expressions. The key point was that no matter how hard Su Mo stomped, Cú Chulainn clung to Su Mo's leg the entire time, refusing to let go. This instantly made them feel like their worldview had shattered.

Chapter 11: Lancer is About to Cry
Unable to stand the Lancer clinging to his leg and not letting go, coupled with Mash speaking up for the Lancer and suggesting he form a temporary contract with Su Mo, Su Mo was left with no choice... and reluctantly took in this Lancer who had latched onto his leg for the first time.
Thus, after the Lancer joined them, the group once again embarked on their journey...
The endless fire seemed as if it would never be extinguished. Looking at the constantly burning Fuyuki City, Su Mo couldn't help but sigh.
The ending of FZ only had a portion of Fuyuki burned by fire, but in this parallel world's singularity, the entire Fuyuki had been reduced to ruins. Everywhere, there were citizens turned to stone by Medusa, Skeleton Soldiers, and vengeful spirits. No matter how far they walked, they hadn't encountered a single living person!
Along the way, Lancer Cú Chulainn, in order to gain Su Mo's favor, coughed twice and recounted the information he had gathered since his summoning.
According to Lancer, this was a Holy Grail War for the sake of the Holy Grail between 7 Masters and 7 summoned Servants. Moreover, this Holy Grail War had no special classes, and the Masters had neither formed alliances nor played any tricks on each other. It could be said to be the most rule-abiding Holy Grail War in history.
However, these rules were quickly broken. The dignified knight, Saber, who was originally summoned, suddenly had her "hair ornament" pulled out by a green-hatted man who appeared out of nowhere, and was forcibly given a cup, after which she went berserk.
Thus, this Holy Grail War completely changed its tune. The berserk Saber, wielding Excalibur, went on a killing spree. She not only killed her own Master but also killed enemy Masters and innocent citizens. She killed her way from the west side of Fuyuki to the east side, then from the east side to the north side, and finally crushed her way to the south side. Along the way, she killed anyone who stood in her way, and if a Servant blocked her, she killed them. Fuyuki was massacred miserably, and countless wronged souls wailed under her Excalibur!
But this wasn't the end! All the Servants killed by Saber were corrupted by the dark mud and turned into Shadow Servants.
The berserk Shadow Servants, regardless of what kind of heroes they were in life, all joined in the massacre of Fuyuki's citizens, completely becoming a group of lunatics who only knew how to kill!
Lancer managed to escape this disaster because he ran fast. He saw everything and felt the pain in his heart. Especially the mother of Shirou, who had fought him so fiercely before, had now become a lunatic who only knew how to kill. Lancer truly felt sorry for Shirou. This was too heartless!
Su Mo naturally saw Lancer's grievance. This was because he had no desire for the Holy Grail. Participating in the Holy Grail War was his only wish before he died: to have a good fight with various Heroic Spirits.
You must know that in the Fifth Holy Grail War in other parallel worlds, he never got to fulfill this wish because Lancer had an E-rank luck, and he died without realizing it. He finally got rid of Lancer's E-rank luck in this world, but before he could even fight, all the Servants were wiped out by the berserk Saber and turned into lunatics who only knew how to kill... Lancer felt so wronged that he was about to cry.
Although Lancer didn't explain in detail, Su Mo understood the general idea. Thus, his expression turned cold, and he said, "Mm! I understand. The reason Fuyuki City was engulfed in flames overnight, and the reason Saber went berserk and killed all the Masters, is that this Holy Grail War won't end as long as the Masters aren't all dead, right? Then, the attacks we've encountered along the way, and your desperate desire to join us, the fundamental reason for all of this is that there's still a Master like me alive, and you intend to take my life when I'm not paying attention, right?"
"Wait... how did you even come to that conclusion?!" Lancer looked at Su Mo in horror, his face turning pale.
"Kiyohime, destroy him for me!" Su Mo turned his head and ordered Kiyohime.
Good heavens, you were clinging to my leg so tightly just now, your tears and saliva soaked through my pants. Let's see how I deal with you!
"Understood, Master!" Kiyohime replied with a smile, then looked at Lancer with a malicious grin.
"Wait, let's talk! Don't make a move!" Lancer was so scared he climbed up an electric pole.
"Senpai, how did you come to that conclusion?!" Before Kiyohime could make a move, Mash immediately stepped in front of Lancer and slammed her shield onto the ground to protect him.
"It's nothing. I was just teasing Cú Chulainn. I won't really take his life." Su Mo waved his hand, signaling Kiyohime to stand down. Then, stroking his chin in thought for a moment, he said to everyone, "According to what Caster just said, as long as we don't defeat Saber, this Holy Grail War in Fuyuki won't end."
"Yes, that's why I came to you. Because I can't defeat Saber alone, and Saber is guarded by Archer. I have no chance of winning by myself." Lancer climbed down from the electric pole, coughed, and continued.
"But with a big shot like you appearing, it's different. If you can lend me a hand, even if the berserk Berserker runs off to help Saber and Archer, I'll have the confidence to take on all three!"
Lancer was extremely excited and waved his baseball bat, showing the spirit to go find the berserk Saber right now to settle the score.
"Do you know where Saber and the others are?" the Director asked.
