• Qin Zi Xi remarked on the immense magical energy and said it lacked refinement.
• Yu Feng summoned the Fuxi Spear and attacked Qin Zi Xi with a concentrated golden strike.

• A meteor descended toward the island as Sengo Muramasa and Emiya watched, while Scathach continued beating Cú Chulainn Alter for calling her a crazy woman.
• Qin Zi Xi tried to manipulate the meteor but failed, then vanished after saying he could use the Holy Grail to complete something and deal with everyone.
• The meteor struck the island, destroying it in a massive explosion as a crimson moon, red plants, strange cities, dark figures, and Phantasmal Species appeared across the world.
• In Xianyang, the Phantasmal Species stopped attacking and withdrew, while Waver wondered whether the changes were connected to the archipelago.
• Qin Zheng told Waver and Chen Gong that Qin Zi Xi had nearly succeeded but stopped short, and warned them that the final battle was beginning.

• Yu Feng reasoned that Qin Zi Xi was still in the world and decided to head toward Xianyang.
• Yu Feng walked across the desert for an unknown length of time before a Phantasmal Species appeared in his path.

Yu Feng reached a strange, intact town in the crimson world and encountered shadowy undead creatures that regenerated after his attacks. As Cú Chulainn, Scathach, and another man approached the town from the opposite side, Yu Feng prepared to test how to kill the creatures.

• Yu Feng crushed a magic-corrupted boar Phantasmal Species and avoided a horde of blood-maddened creatures.
• Yu Feng noticed the fixed red moon growing larger as he traveled toward a city on the horizon.

• Black, aura-less figures appeared behind Yu Feng, attacked him, and regenerated after he blasted them away.
• Yu Feng recognized that the figures had undying traits and raised his spear to test how to kill them.

Yu Feng fought the Phantasmal Species and intelligent black figures that had gathered beneath the crimson sky. After the black figures merged into a giant creature and absorbed his magical arrow, Yu Feng decided to try physical attacks instead.

• Phantasmal Species appeared in the sky as the black figures on the ground imitated Yu Feng's fighting style and charged at him.
• Yu Feng used Bind and Gravity Effect to drag the flying Phantasmal Species down, then destroyed more than half of them with Yang Thunder Strike.

• Mingxin split the black giant into two smaller giants when Yu Feng struck its head.
• The two giants began speaking and then charged, with one targeting Yu Feng and the other rushing toward the familiar figures who had arrived.

Yu Feng defeated the regenerating black giants after discovering their magical energy could corrode and absorb nearby magic. He reunited with Cú Chulainn, Scathach, Gawain, Mordred, and Arthur, then learned that an anomaly had changed parts of the black desert and brought altered people into the world.

• Yu Feng found that the black giants regenerated quickly and that their corrosive magical energy eroded his barrier and absorbed his magic.
• Yu Feng realized that the earlier attack had taken effect later, and the black giants swelled, exploded, and dissolved into black magical energy.
• Yu Feng met Cú Chulainn and Scathach, who revealed that Scathach had manifested in the Lancer class after previously appearing as an Assassin.
• Yu Feng reunited with Gawain and Mordred and met Arthur from another world, who briefly mistook him for Chiya.
• Gawain told Yu Feng that an anomaly had turned parts of the black desert into land and brought towns, Phantasmal Species, and altered people into existence.
• Yu Feng focused on Gawain's mention of altered people and asked him about them.

Yu Feng learned that the red world’s towns were filled with immortal humans transformed into black creatures, while Gawain and the others had found no people or clear destination. Arthur’s group was following a pillar of golden light, and Gawain suspected Arthur was avoiding someone, though Arthur said she would face him now that Yu Feng could take the hit for her.

• Gawain told Yu Feng that the black creatures had transformed from humans under the influence of the red world and its mana, and that they were common in towns.
• Yu Feng wondered whether the creatures had already been transforming when he passed through Xianyang and whether his actions had contributed to their change.
• Arthur told Yu Feng that Gawain and the others were following her in search of a place, after Cú Chulainn explained that she alone had seen a pillar of golden energy shoot into the sky.
• Gawain said he suspected Arthur was avoiding someone, and Arthur replied that she would no longer need to worry if she encountered him.
• Cú Chulainn explained that the newly summoned group lacked knowledge of the world and had chosen to investigate the pillar of light, leaving Yu Feng to consider his reasoning.

Yu Feng and Arthur set out across the desert toward a distant pillar of golden light, while Gilgamesh and Enkidu awaited their arrival in a city. Ashiya Douman explained that Vlad the Impaler III was only a remnant of a previous summoning, then Qin Zi Xi revealed that he could summon many non-Servants.

• Yu Feng asked Arthur how far away the golden light was, and they decided to walk toward it.
• A woman entered the city and said she would wait there for someone to arrive.
• Enkidu considered leaving to check on Yu Feng and Arthur, but Gilgamesh told him the woman was an ally and that he had seen a fragment of the future.
• Ashiya Douman told Vlad the Impaler III that he was a remnant created from a previous Spirit Core, a Shadow Servant, and the Holy Grail.
• Ashiya Douman explained that the world was only half-fused, and Emiya Alter noted that they had managed to summon only two people.
• Qin Zi Xi summoned numerous non-Servants, prompting Emiya Alter to warn him not to bring trouble upon himself.

Yu Feng and his companions reached Xianyang, the last city sheltering humanity, after crossing the desert. Waver welcomed them and explained that the creatures outside were not true Dead Apostles, while Gilgamesh prepared to meet the newcomers.

• Yu Feng recognized the distant Xianyang and said it had descended into this world along with the earlier anomaly.
• Arthur inferred that the golden light had summoned the scattered Servants to Xianyang, and Yu Feng led the group toward the city.
• Gilgamesh spotted Yu Feng's group from the city wall, then left with Enkidu after saying he could stop maintaining the concealment magecraft.
• Waver greeted Yu Feng and the others at Xianyang's gates and led them inside to meet someone.
• Waver explained that the city's soldiers were worn down by the anomaly and described the creatures outside as collective beings unlike Dead Apostles.
