Still anxious—

Watching Mo Yi and the Old Village Chief suddenly make their move and then disappear, Iskandar poured himself another glass of wine. This was good stuff, and he couldn't waste it.

Of course, he was also thinking about what to do next: go watch the game or head straight home.

However, he won't have to think about it for long!

Because the environment of the entire Einsbern Castle was changing rapidly, the clear sky seemed to be torn apart by hand, turning into dark red clouds, and a thick fog filled the surroundings, making the whole space eerie.

"They're here."

As expected, Green Song turned to look in a certain direction, and the others also looked in the same direction, because a series of increasingly loud footsteps were coming from there, obviously a lot of people were coming over, and if nothing unexpected happened, they were the culprits that caused the anomaly.

"Gurgle—"

Even though he hadn't seen the main character, the surrounding environment made Waver feel immense pressure. It was as if some indescribable and terrifying presence was slowly creeping up his back. Fearful, Waver naturally only felt safe by clinging to Iskandar.

"What exactly is it? I haven't even seen it yet, but it already sends chills down my spine."

Soon, the figures in the thick fog finally came into clear view of everyone. The first to appear was Ai Aotian, followed by Black Saber, Cú Chulainn, and other Servants.

"This is not—"

Weber glanced sideways at Green Song beside him, then at Ai Aotian was staring at Green Song, and muttered to himself, "Are they twins?"

Of course, no one paid attention to his mutterings. Just the atmosphere at the scene made it clear that the newcomer was up to no good, especially the named Servants accompanying him. If it weren't for the fact that the Servants were all dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses, they would definitely have made a villainous entrance!

"You still came—"

Ai Aotian and Midori stared at each other, their eyes seemingly blazing with fire. Hmm, rivals meeting are bound to be furious, after all, Aika is the kind of ruthless character who won't even spare herself when she gets vicious!

Didn't I tell you?

Since last night, the two have been using their telepathic abilities to fight each other in an endless nested battle. Both of them knew that Ai Aotian was in this situation.

"You are... Aika..."

Old Saber was first stunned, then became alert. The scene of him leading a group of people out was just like the special effects of Ai Aotian's entrance in the previous film.

The other party is simply repeating the same operation.

Moreover, because of the power of the Beast 666, Ai Aotian is significantly different from Green Song, who is still human. Normal people would feel fear without resistance when they see Green Song. Even though she seems like a cute and beautiful girl, biological instincts would make them feel terrified and fearful, just like a herbivore encountering a top predator standing above the food chain.

The reason lies in the Beast 666. As a Human Evil, its purpose in being born is to destroy humanity. As humans, we will naturally fear it from the depths of our souls.

The rhythm of the Holy Sword of Salvation in his hand, coupled with the call that had been heard in his ear earlier, hmm, although he didn't know why it hadn't appeared for two days, the Old Saber could confirm that the Ai Aotian in front of him was none other than the Devouring Goddess Sajyo Aika that Ayaka and the others had finally managed to defeat, hmm, Sajyo Aika from his world.

"Saber, it's been a long time."

Facing the object of his former infatuation—no, Ai Aotian, who had come to understand his own feelings—he knew that the other person was merely an object to which he projected his desire and longing for love. As long as the conditions were met, under those circumstances, it didn't matter who it was; they had never truly entered the depths of his heart.

That's true. After all, love is a two-way street. One-sided devotion isn't love; it's just a simp's self-indulgence!

Old Saber never reciprocated her feelings or did anything for her. Everything he did was to fulfill his own desires, and she was just a kind-hearted tool to help him.

"It really is you, Aika— "

Old Saber actually wanted to ask, wasn't the other party burned to ashes by his Excalibur? How did he come back to life and even chase after him to this parallel world?

But recalling the awkward relationship between the two, the best thing to say is:

"What exactly is your purpose...?"

Recalling Ai Aotian's previous resurrection and his attempt to capture him, Old Saber added a final piece of advice, "I advise you to give up."

"Saber——"

Faced with Old Saber's unrequited Ai Aotian tilted his head, looked at him with the indifferent gaze one would give to a stranger, and said, "I think you're just being presumptuous!"

"To me now, you're just a stain—"

"Yes, an immature stain from the past, a stain that I must completely erase."

With a snap of his fingers, Ai Aotian dispelled the thick fog. Einsbern Castle was still there, but its location had changed from Fuyuki City to a solidified alternate world. Ai Aotian's goal was clear: to trap everyone here, to catch them like turtles in a jar, and to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

"This is a trial, a trial from the past. Human growth is about constantly overcoming your past self!"

"And Saber, you are undoubtedly the past I need to eliminate—"

Old Saber: "..."

This art style is off!

Although the fact that the other party was no longer obsessed with him made him feel a little timid, at the same time he was even more confused about what Ai Aotian was thinking.

Could it be that love turned to hate, and after being resurrected, he wanted to chase after himself to other parallel worlds to kill him too?!

Alice Phil had heard Old Saber tell the story of Aika, whom he had met before, but things seem to be going wrong now. What happened to the character who was supposed to love Saber?

Now it all seems like Saber is just being delusional and bragging!

"Aika, what exactly is your purpose?!"

Faced with Old Saber's righteous questioning, Ai Aotian tapped the corner of her mouth with her finger, revealing a sweet smile, and said, "Of course, it's to help Lord Mo Yi fulfill his wish and prove that I am the one who loves him the most."

Old Saber: "..."

The reason is familiar, just with a different name, so why am I so upset?!

Wait a minute, when did you arrive from another parallel world? And you've fallen for Caster so quickly!

Looking at another Sajo Ryouko, Saber could only accept this reality. As a result, Ai Aotian was now equivalent to Human Evil, would no longer hold back against him, and might even take special care to deal with him severely. This battle would be much more difficult than the last one!

"Shut up, you Faker—"

Hearing Ai Aotian for Lord Mo Yi from afar, Lü Ge couldn't stand it any longer and retorted, "Stop daydreaming, Lord Mo Yi is mine!"

"Oh--"

Faced with Green Song's rebuttal, Green Song, who had already played the game of clairvoyance with her all day, had no mood to continue arguing with the childish Green Song in her eyes. She had to complete all her plans before Lord Mo Yi returned.

"Let's do it!"

With her command, the Servants around her took their positions. Those in the front line charged forward, while Arash quickly created distance to find a suitable point of attack. Meanwhile, Tamamo cast spells on the spot to buff the others, acting as a support.

Of course, the Heroic Spirits' targets were only the King of Conquerors and Old Saber, and they didn't care about Green Song or Joan of Arc, who was the referee.

Yes, the person in charge of restraining Lü Ge was Ai Aotian. The two looked at each other tacitly but did not make a move.
