The First Companions, the Throne of Heroes of Bonds.

"Ride, and bring forth the halo of your Lord!"

The White Horse neighed and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Ritsuka. The blazing light scorched and distorted the pure white space, as if it could even burn away concepts.

Ritsuka remained calm, Golden Armor instantly covered her entire body—

O Shemesh, submit to death!

The original plan was to summon the god-slaying spear in exchange for Golden Armor, but under the control of the Beast Authority, it evolved into the subsequent legend:

After his death, Karna returned to the embrace of his father, the Sun God, and became part of his divinity.

Boom!!!

The collision of the sun's fire and the Golden Armor unleashed a blinding light, and the terrifying heat could even instantly vaporize the Spirit Origin of a God-tier Servant.

However, the girl's figure was not damaged in the slightest, and even the wedding dress was exactly as it was.

"It's useless."

Ritsuka's voice came from the light, "This body is a fusion of the legends and characteristics of all Heroic Spirit. The sun cannot burn me, and darkness cannot devour another darkness—no power born from Human History can harm me."

"Oh?"

Iori raised an eyebrow.

In other words, is the "Compatibility Special Attack" path meaningless for [The Beast of Termination]?

Besides the "sun," the White Horse also possesses the attribute of "judgment," and Verethragna and Mithra are even the gods who protect the "contract"... Logically speaking, it should have a great restraint on the beast that took over Ritsuka's body, or at the very least, it should have sealed her connection with Valhalla, but the reality is not so.

"Since that's the case... let's keep it simple!"

With a smug smile, Iori didn't take it to heart at all. He decisively threw out the World-Saving Divine Blade, which unfolded a huge and intricate True Magic circle in the sky, from which divine artifacts exuding sharp auras appeared.

"How would you deal with mere violence?"

"Holy Sword, draw your blade!"

As the light faded, a Holy Sword appeared in Ritsuka's hand that Iori found incredibly familiar. Without needing to gather power, it immediately Shikai the seal.

The weapon, originally intended to be used against the "Enemy of the World," is now in the hands of its greatest enemy.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The thirteen constraints were released one by one, and the sword shone with a brilliance even more dazzling than the White Horse.

"I never imagined I would find myself standing opposite the Holy Sword."

Iori shook her head and smiled, while gently waving her hand. The mandala split into over a thousand divine artifacts that floated in the air. Swords, spears, halberds... each one was a supreme weapon from mythology, forming a magnificent meteor shower.

"—Sever it, Holy Sword of the Stars!"

"All liberated, the World-Saving Divine Blade!"

The Holy Sword's beam collided with a thousand divine artifacts, and the space itself, unable to withstand the force, began to shatter. The boundless sea of flowers beneath their feet vanished, and they simultaneously plummeted into the Imaginary Space, beneath which surged unpredictable Reishi tides and spatial storms.

"It's not over yet."

Ritsuka lightly touched the void, and a set of cards appeared in her hand. With a wave of her hand, she scattered them all down, and the cards immediately constructed one Summoning Circle after another, with a full ten golden vortexes unfolding at the same time.

"Come forth, my Heroic Spirit!"

[The Beast of Termination] Full of confidence, she selected the Heroic Spirit, each of whom possessed powerful magical energy and was not an ordinary Spirit Origin, but one capable of unleashing most of their power, second only to the Grand.

Each one of them was enough to change the course of the battle, and she summoned ten of them in one go!

Regardless of her combat skills, the sheer combination of different attribute Noble Phantasm is enough to keep Iori busy.

"Guardian of the Scales, with your Noble Phantasm— "

The next moment, Artoria and the others emerged from the magic circle, each holding Holy Sword of a different color, and all ten of them had the same face.

"Excalibur!" X7.

Beast of Termination: "..."

Calm down! There's nothing surprising about this!

One more 10-pull!

"Come forth, my legion of Heroic Spirits—"

Six Elizabeth and four Cú Chulainn emerged from the magic circle, charging silently toward Iori like battle puppets.

"..."

Well... although nothing went wrong, I still feel like I've lost out...

However, the results were unexpectedly good:

Iori was stunned by the sight, especially since it was Artoria, which was quite spectacular. This caused him to be careless and fail to dodge, and he was completely overwhelmed by the brilliance of the Holy Sword.

Great opportunity!

The Beast of Termination doesn't think Iori will be killed by this attack, but it's fine as long as it can create an opportunity to strike first.

100 consecutive draws!

—The Beast of Termination may not have realized that although she had completely suppressed Ritsuka Fujimaru's personality, she still retained some of the original owner's characteristics.

For example, her fighting style and... this kind of wonderful luck, and she didn't feel there was anything wrong with it at all.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

This time, the scene she had imagined finally appeared. Various Heroic Spirit descended like a meteor shower, appearing one by one on the battlefield. Almost every one of them possessed God-tier Spirit Origin. The Sea of Stars instantly became another Valhalla!

But at that moment, Iori emerged from the impact of the Holy Sword, took a deep breath, and activated his power. "External Body!"

Six identical clones of him appeared simultaneously, each wielding a different divine weapon: the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi, the Sword of Judgment Karma, Pure White Spear... even their attire was different, some wearing White Haori, others wearing golden chainmail.

"Let's divide it up, don't fight over it."

The original body said with a smile.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

A chaotic battle erupted instantly:

Artoria and her companions clashed with a clone wielding the Ama-no-Murakumo, their Holy Sword swords clashing and sparking brilliantly; Gilgamesh's rain of Noble Phantasm was completely blocked by the clone in golden chainmail using the Dharma Heaven Manifestation Earth; Scáthach's demonic spear clashed fiercely with the Pure White Spear wielded by Iori, who resembled a knight...

Meanwhile, Iori's true form charged straight at Ritsuka, and the World-Saving Divine Blade reappeared.

"It's useless."

Ritsuka raised her hand and summoned a shield—the legendary Aegis of Zeus, possessing truly invincible defense.

The divine blade struck the shield, creating a ripple of energy, but it failed to break through it.

Iori suddenly changed tactics, a Golden Short Sword appearing in her left hand: "Your true name is—"

"Don't even think about it!"

Ritsuka retreated abruptly, summoning the Aegis of Ajax at the same time to prevent Iori from using a projectile to pursue her.

The two weaved through the gaps in the chaotic battle of the Heroic Spirit. Each clash caused spatial tremors. The surrounding chaotic battlefield had no effect on these two. Instead, it was the aftershocks of their battle that created one tragedy after another.

During their back-and-forth exchange, Iori suddenly activated [The Greedy Usurper], attempting to seize Ritsuka's Heroic Spirit Summoning authority.

Determination of usurpation —

But almost instantly, affected by the interference of cause and effect, the Beast of Termination understood the principle—probably the keen insight given to her by her Clairvoyance or the Star of the All-Knowing.

"That tactic won't work on me!"

Ritsuka held out her hands, revealing King Solomon's ring, and then opened her arms, her wedding dress adorned with divine gold ornaments.

"With so many options, which one will you ultimately choose?"

Iori's usurpation would be difficult to succeed under these circumstances, since there are many physical Noble Phantasm and they would be useless to take over, while things like the Beast Authority are difficult to forcibly Plunder.

But he didn't take it seriously; instead, he revealed a triumphant smile.

He knew it wouldn't be that easy, so his real killer move was:

"Spiritually Clear Great Divine Power!"

In Flash Step, countless images flashed through Iori's pupils, which were forcibly analyzed by [The Wisdom of the Sky].

He saw through the abilities of all Ritsuka's Heroic Spirit, the weaknesses of their Noble Phantasm, and even the different facets of each Heroic Spirit's characteristics, and then decisively activated his attack—

"I got it!"

"..."

Something had been taken away... The Beast of Termination felt a pang of loss, but Iori didn't have any object in her hand, and her Beast Authority hadn't been weakened, which puzzled her.

What did you do?

"Take a guess~"

"..."

Something's not right... Although she didn't know exactly why, she just felt something was off!

Something bad is going to happen if this continues... No, I can't keep dealing with this guy!

None of the Heroic Spirit from Pan-Human History or Lostbelt could match her, but this guy before her came from Other Universe. Although his godhood and divine artifacts were also derived from mythology, the Beast Authority could not give him any advantage, and there were too many unknown methods he possessed...

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to play with you anymore."

Ritsuka gritted her teeth, and suddenly twelve dark red light wheels unfolded behind her—[Beast's Authority: Separate Manifestation EX]!

Her aura suddenly intensified, and the entire Sea of Stars began to boil.

"That's more like it."

Iori carefully put away the Noble Phantasm he had just stolen, pointed the divine sword at the sky, and said, "Let me see the true power of the so-called Beast of Termination!"

Chapter 566 The First Companions, the Throne of Heroes with Bonds.

The Imaginary Space trembled violently under the fierce battle between the two, and countless Singularity and Lostbelt emerged from the chaos like boiling bubbles.

At this moment, the abilities displayed by the Beast of Termination are even more unbelievable:

It's no longer as simple as summoning a few Heroic Spirit or Noble Phantasm; it's about directly extracting a "part" of the encountered Singularity to launch an attack.

Sometimes it's a massive architectural complex like Rome, sometimes it's a mountain inhabited by some useless goddess, or even Mount Olympus, the home of the Greece gods—they are imbued with a special meaning and, at this moment, become the weapon of the Beast of Termination.

Rome symbolizes both prosperity and decadence, Mount Ebih is a sacred peak revered even by the gods, and Olympus bears witness to countless heroic epics sung throughout the ages... These ethereal concepts have been given concrete form, putting immense pressure on Iori.

However!

The Divine Blade is the embodiment of "the strongest," and no matter what kind of pressure it encounters, it will unleash Kamui that surpasses all others!

Clang!

Iori cleaved open a collapsing Scandinavian Lostbelt. The embers of Surtr's fire still lingered on the shattered ice field, while the Fantasy Tree had been split in two from top to bottom!

The Beast of Termination raises its hand, summoning a disc symbolizing the entire worldview of the Indian Lostbelt. The cycle of world reincarnation continues to turn. Arjuna Alter, with the disc above his head and a longsword Severing Karma in his hand, creates a black hole that devours everything after a flash of light.

Their battlefield had long transcended the physical dimension. Even in the theoretically infinite Sea of Imaginary Numbers, they felt constrained. Each clash rewrote the bubble of spacetime, banishing Singularity from their original trajectories—

"Snap!"

Iori used the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi to block the Holy Lance Rhongomyniad summoned by the Beast of Termination, but suddenly a part of the Babylonia Singularity unfolded beneath his feet. The high-energy reaction flying towards him looked like long fangs of light, which was the last line of defense built by a certain Wise King who exhausted his resources.

But at this moment, Iori couldn't care less about anything else. She unleashed a beam of light, mimicking "Divine Strike," and the walls of Uruk were reduced to dust in the aftershocks of the energy. A deluge of yellow sand gushed out from the cracks.

"My newly built city wall!"

Gilgamesh's phantom had just lifted the stone tablet when it vanished into the storm.

In Singularity F, Lev stands in front of the Greater Holy Grail, looking down at the Chaldea group with a malicious, mocking smile.

Director Olga Marie tried to question him, but was mercilessly humiliated. The group, who had just finished fighting, were clearly no match for him. Just as Lev was about to throw Olga Marie into the Chaldeas Core...

Buzz!

Snap!

Olga Marie fell to the ground with a cry of pain, rubbing her bottom as she stood up. "W-what happened?"
