As the supreme god, I choose to watch movies in the multiverse.

Conan: "I don't know if there is fate or not. I only know that the Holy Grail War is getting more and more complicated. Putting aside everything else, the fact that he still believes the Holy Grail will belong to him even though he already knows about the existence of the King of Heroes means that the Servant he summons is incredibly powerful."

Eriri: "Could it be an Assassin? Or some other Servant?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "No, it can't be an Assassin. There's already an Assassin Servant in this Holy Grail War."

In the Sea of ​​Quanta, Kevin, who was waiting for Gray Serpent's rescue plan, was secretly watching the screen. Being able to see his long-lost friend in the light screen was a blessing for Kevin, even though they couldn't communicate. However... fate and Alicia, when these two words appeared at the same time, Kevin's attention was completely focused on these two words.

Aponia once said that she could see the threads of fate. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not change her predetermined destiny. On the eve of the end, it was because of Alicia's sacrifice that the thread called fate quietly broke.

At this moment, Alicia is once again entangled with something called fate. Are the people of that world, like them, ultimately unable to escape the fate of destruction?

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Eighth Servant, the True Caster!

[In the light screen image, after saying goodbye to Alicia, Marisbury arrives at a deserted place.]

He gazed at the most prominent building in Fuyuki City, the Fuyuki Bridge, and felt a pang of emotion, for soon the King of Conquerors and the King of Heroes would both perish on that bridge, and he would be the final victor of the Holy Grail War.

At some point, a white-haired man dressed in an ancient robe appeared behind Marisbury, but due to the camera angle, his face could not be seen.

Although he remained motionless after appearing, for some reason, the special aura and faint magic emanating from him made people feel that he was no ordinary person.

"Among the Servants in this Holy Grail War, perhaps only that arrogant and conceited Hero King can pose even the slightest threat to you," Marisbury asked.

He had unwavering faith in the power of his Servant. Perhaps the King of Heroes' strength was beyond imagination, standing at the very pinnacle of the Servant concept, but to the King before him, he was merely a slight threat. After all, the King of Heroes would soon be facing a true Grand Servant.

Under the watchful eyes of the multiverse audience, the mysterious Caster spoke, responding to Marisbury's words: "Yes, the King of Heroes Gilgamesh is very strong. I can defeat him, but I need to be fully prepared."

"And what about Alicia? Even your eyes, which can see through the past and the future, can't see through her. Are you confident you can defeat her?" Marisbury asked again.

This time, the mysterious Caster hesitated. He paused for a moment, seemingly considering how to answer the question. Finally, under Marisbury's gaze, he replied, "I cannot confirm, because I cannot see through the power within her, nor do I know her specific strength."

“Is that so?” Marisbury was not surprised and said casually, “Thinking about it carefully, our enemies were originally only a few Servants in the Holy Grail War and that power.”

"Then, you dealt with the threat posed by that power ahead of time. You used the residual power on the Command Seals to allow Ryunosuke Uryu to successfully summon Caster, and even the Holy Grail was concealed from him. He was believed to be the real Caster."

"It's just that there's an additional uncertain variable now, but there's no need to worry about it, because we were actually just like that girl from the very beginning, a variable in this Holy Grail War."

At this point, Marisbury couldn't help but admire his servant's superb magical skills. He said with a touch of emotion, "I can only say that you truly deserve to be called the King of Kings, the Caster of Casters. In your hands, even the most mysterious magic is like a toy that can be manipulated at will. Perhaps that's why you are called the King of Magic."

After hearing Maris Billy's effusive praise, the man who was the King of Magic remained calm and silent, seemingly used to it, or perhaps completely indifferent, but so cold that one could not feel any emotion from him.

Fortunately, Marisbury has gotten used to this way of getting along. Given the king's temperament, he can probably get along with any Master. Otherwise, considering that he can maintain his existence on his own without relying on a Master and has the ability to nullify the Command Seals' control system.

If he wanted, he could break free from any constraints and reappear in the human world. Even though Maris Billy's magical skills had reached the pinnacle of this era, in the eyes of the Magic King, they were merely child's play.

Almost all modern magic is meaningless to him. The Command Seals system, which the Holy Grail War is so proud of, can even make the berserk Berserker obedient under the control of the Command Seals, but in the eyes of that king, it is just a decoration.

Throughout the entire video projection, the mysterious Caster never appeared on screen; only some clothing and a somewhat dark-skinned hand were shown.

On that hand, each finger wore a silver ring.

.........

The screen was filled with images and comments. As the real Caster appeared, countless people gasped in shock. The Magic King was the true Caster of this Holy Grail War.

As for Ryunosuke Uryu and Bluebeard, they were just fakes. No wonder someone who didn't even know about the Holy Grail could summon Servants. It was all a scam. Not only Ryunosuke Uryu, but probably everyone in that Holy Grail War was fooled.

Eriri: "What exactly is that Caster's true identity...? She's so powerful, even the King of Heroes can't defeat her?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "It should be fake, right? Wasn't Gilgamesh already at the pinnacle of the Servant realm? There shouldn't be any Servant stronger than him."

Madara Uchiha: "Well, we'll have to ask the person involved. With so much information provided, the person involved should have guessed his identity by now."

King of Heroes: "..."

King of Heroes: "The Magic King, the ring, the dark skin, and... [Grand Rank], I do know his identity. Although it is hard to believe, the only Heroic Spirit who can possess all these characteristics is him."

As the King of Heroes spoke, the barrage of comments cooled down for a moment. What kind of Heroic Spirit could be the one that even Gilgamesh found unbelievable?

Just as everyone was about to ask Gilgamesh a question, his next words shocked everyone present.

King of Heroes: "I must admit that I have no chance of defeating him now, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of intelligence and personality. Only if I were more mature than I am now, and had all the treasures in the Royal Treasury, would I have a chance of winning if I fought to the death."

Shocking—no, it can't even be described as shocking. That Hero King, that extremely arrogant ruler, actually admitted that he was weaker than others, and even described his battle with the mysterious Caster as a fight to the death.

For a moment, everyone wondered if Hero King's account had been hacked. No matter how you looked at it, he would never say such a thing.

But now, the undeniable truth is laid bare before everyone: the king has indeed admitted his shortcomings and acknowledged that he will be defeated by the mysterious Caster.

Conan: "So, the King of Heroes, what is his true identity...?"

Hero King: "The third king of ancient Israel, who hastened the separation of humanity from the divine and the mystical, established himself as the king of the manipulation of phenomena with only human hands—the Magic King Solomon!"

Chapter Thirty: The Fairy Girl Gets Dragged into the War Again

Solomon!

When Gilgamesh uttered this name, the chat fell silent for a moment. This name was not unfamiliar to the vast majority of people in the multiverse.

The Holy King of the Jews, the master of Jerusalem three thousand years ago.

Legend has it that Solomon controlled seventy-two demons and was granted omniscience and omnipotence by God. He was definitely a heavyweight figure!

No wonder even Gilgamesh was wary of him. Originally, it was already outrageous that a Servant as extraordinary as Gilgamesh could appear in the Holy Grail War, but unexpectedly, there was an even more extraordinary existence than Gilgamesh.

Eriri: "That's great, now there's another king. The three-kings battle has become a four-kings battle, and the game of Dou Dizhu has turned into a game of mahjong."

Bishop Tianming: "King Solomon, a man endowed with omniscience and omnipotence by God, may just be an adjective in our history, but in your world, he should be a god in the true sense."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "This...how could this be, Your Majesty? Is it possible that even you cannot defeat Solomon? Am I truly destined to be without the Holy Grail?"

King of Heroes: "Kiri! This is not the kind of thing a subject should say. I absolutely do not acknowledge that such a selfless monstrous fellow is a true king—"

Seeing Tokiomi Tohsaka boost the morale of others while diminishing his own, Gilgamesh couldn't help but angrily comment in the chat: Indeed, he was no match for Solomon, the King of Magic. As the Caster Grand Solomon, no one in this Holy Grail War could rival him.

But this is not a reason for fear and retreat. Although that king was powerful, he was just a machine without a self. He had great power but no sense of self. Gilgamesh would never admit that such a person had the qualifications to be a king, and he would absolutely deny his identity and status as a king.

.........

[In the light screen image, while the comments were still discussing King Solomon, Alicia began her journey again.]

Fuyuki City boasts beautiful scenery, featuring both modern skyscrapers and traditional Japanese houses, along with various landmark buildings and pleasant natural landscapes.

This was something that Alicia, who hadn't seen normal scenery for countless years, thoroughly enjoyed. Breathing in the fragrance in the air, she thought, "A peaceful world is truly a wonderful world."

On the street, many passersby cast glances at Alicia. It's only natural that a beautiful girl like her would attract attention, especially since she was dressed in clothes that were completely different from what most people wore. This also ensured that she would turn heads everywhere.

Facing the gazes of the citizens, Alicia showed no shyness or embarrassment whatsoever. Breathing in the fresh air, she felt incredibly refreshed.

Alicia strolled slowly down the street, admiring the beautiful scenery of Fuyuki City. As night deepened, the novelty of her visit to Fuyuki City had almost worn off, mainly because there was no point in wandering around alone.

If Eden or Kevin were here, things would probably be much more fun. Sigh, it's time to think about how to spend tonight.

Alicia thought idly, wondering how everyone in the Firemoth crew was doing. She'd been missing for so long; they must be so worried. Kevin was probably frantically searching for her right now. She really wanted to see his expression.

.........

Kevin: "......"

Eden: "It seems that Ellie is enjoying life in that world~ Although it is not the paradise that Ellie idealized, it is still better than our time."

Eriri: "After seeing so many ancient Servants, when I look at Alicia now, I suddenly feel that Alicia seems out of place in the Holy Grail War, and she herself seems to have no interest in the Holy Grail War at all. Why is that?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "That's just our feeling. Although Alicia doesn't want to get too involved in this world, the King of Heroes and Caster's Master have already set their sights on her. Perhaps it's not just them; other Masters or Servants also want to get something from Alicia."

Conan: "That's right. From the first night when Alicia intervened in the Holy Grail War, she was no longer able to stay out of it."

In the comments section, Conan agreed with Yukino's statement, and as if to confirm his words, an unexpected event occurred.

......

[Light screen image, time has come to night.]

To ensure secrecy, the Holy Grail War is usually held at night, and tonight is no exception.

After nearly two busy days, Miss Fairy finally managed to borrow some money from some street thugs and planned to spend a peaceful night at a hotel.

Suddenly, the hotel's fire alarm went off, and the loudspeaker instructed everyone to evacuate. Alicia was completely bewildered by this situation.

A fire? Please, this is her first time staying in a hotel in this world, how could such a coincidence happen? Sure enough, staying in the same hotel as them always leads to trouble.

Alicia thought helplessly, then looked up at a room on a higher floor. On the first night of the Holy Grail War, she had witnessed the battle between Lancer and Saber, and she had also seen Lancer's Master, Kenneth.

Although they both use magic, the nature of the magic is different between the two Servants and their Masters. Therefore, when Alicia entered the hotel, she discovered the unique magic of Dimurd and his Master in the upper floors.

As if to showcase his magical skills, Mr. Kenneth completely transformed the hotel, not in a material way, but in a way that enhanced his magic.

Of the thirty-two stories in this building, twenty-four were covered by his magical barrier. It could even be called a magical fortress. Moreover, there were three magic furnaces used by Kenneth himself, as well as dozens of evil spirits and monsters summoned in place of his hounds. He even went so far as to transmigrate the sewers, transforming the space beneath the corridors into another dimension.

Although Alicia couldn't perceive all of these changes, she was aware of some of them. Considering that ordinary people were unaware of the Holy Grail War, the answer became obvious.

This fire wasn't an accident, but rather deliberate; it's probably the start of the second night's battle. She's unknowingly slipped into the Holy Grail War once again.

Chapter Thirty-One: Kiritsugu Emiya, Who Would Do Anything

Eriri: "It's true what they say, it comes true. It seems Fuyuki City is quite small. You can run into the Lancer group at any hotel you go to."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "The arson was probably to make ordinary people leave, ensuring the secrecy of the Holy Grail War. Which group from the Holy Grail War will take the initiative to challenge us?"

Bishop of Destiny: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Saber duo."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Hmm? So sure?"

L: "He's right. The Saber group is the most likely candidate. Tokiomi Tohsaka is cautious and didn't even dare to show his face on the first night, so it's unlikely that he would choose to take the initiative to attack in the early stages. If he were a Berserker Master, he would prioritize attacking Archer and Tokiomi Tohsaka rather than attacking the Lancer group."

Conan: "That's right. The fake Caster's Master isn't even a magician, so he wouldn't care about the secrecy of the Holy Grail War. As for the real Caster, needless to say, he's been hiding for so long, there's no need for him to be exposed on the second night. As for Ride... his Master probably doesn't have the guts to raid Kenneth at night..."

It must be said that there are many smart people in the comments section. They confirmed the identity of the intruder almost instantly, and the fact was that the arsonist was Saber's Master, the one who was scared away by Alicia as soon as he appeared—Emiya Kiritsugu.

.........

The image on the light screen changes again, and we are now outside.

I saw guests running out of the Fuyuki Hotel downstairs, and the fire alarm was ringing non-stop.

The guests, awakened from their sleep by the fire alarm and evacuated to the outdoor parking lot, wore grim expressions, a mixture of fear of the fire, the disruption of their sleep, and the discomfort caused by the cold night outside. Among them, hotel staff were frantically running around.

Meanwhile, hotel front desk staff dressed in butler uniforms were checking one by one to see if all the guests in the hotel had escaped, by calling out the guests' names and getting a response.

Among them, someone called out Kenneth's name, and then someone responded.

"I'm here, please don't worry."
