In the live chat, countless viewers were discussing the Conqueror King's Noble Phantasm. After all, the ability of Reality Marble to materialize mental images is indeed very powerful, and it is more visually appealing than Lancer's Noble Phantasm.
.........
[The story continues even as the King's Meeting draws to a close, as the light and shadow projectors on the screen.]
In the brightly lit city center of Fuyuki, a terrifying magical power gathered unrestrainedly. There could only be one Servant so blatantly unruly—
The camera then pans to a dark, damp sewer, where Caster Bluebeard appears.
After failing to welcome the saintess, Caster felt heavy-hearted, but then, as if suddenly understanding something, she cried out excitedly, "My saintess! I understand! I understand completely! No matter what I did, it was all meaningless, because the evil god! The despicable god! The hypocritical god will not allow me to get what I want! He will definitely try every means to stop me, to destroy everything I cherish!"
"Oh my god! I curse you! I, Gilles de Rais, curse you aaaaaaah!"
"God, why haven't you destroyed us yet? Why are you still able to remain high above us even after doing so many terrible things???"
"Unforgivable! Incomprehensible! Uncompromising! I, Gilles de Rais, will curse you forever, God!"
After hysterically uttering these words with his arms outstretched, Bluebeard suddenly clutched his head with his remaining arm, his eyes widening as if they might pop out of their sockets at any moment.
"No, no, no~ That's not right! Even if I said all this, even if I did this, even if I cursed Him, He wouldn't care at all! He is, He is, He is..."
"So why not destroy the courtyard that God cherishes?"
Unwittingly, a voice rang in Bluebeard's ear: Francesca—Gil de Rai's friend, and also the culprit who led him to his downfall.
"Because you see—no matter what, it's a fact that the saintess was bewitched by the god, and now even her most loyal followers have forgotten her, so... what meaning does this world have? Gil—don't you want even the high and mighty god to fall?"
Francesca asked with amusement. No matter how she explained it now, Gilles de Rais had already taken that Holy King as Joan of Arc, so there was no need to explain further. Let this Holy Grail War become even more chaotic and disorderly.
Awakened by Francesca's words, Bluebeard suddenly became even more agitated: "Yes! That's it! Forgotten by the Saintess, I have nothing to fear anymore! Yes, that's it! With my last strength, my last magic, I will unleash the fury of rebellion against that foolish god—"
"My dear friend—help me! Let me use my last body to awaken the saintess's soul. Use your power to help me call upon the god of that 'land that can never be connected'—"
As Bluebeard uttered these words, Francesca's expression shifted from pleasure to surprise. She hadn't misread it; choosing Gilles de Rais as her friend was undoubtedly one of the best decisions she had ever made in her long life.
Gilles de Rais, having witnessed King Arthur's power, knows his own Noble Phantasm is insufficient to defeat her, and thus seeks my help? That book—only when used by her can it unleash its full power!!

What does it mean? What book is it? What are its effects?
The audience was completely bewildered by the light screen image. Caster's prototype is Bluebeard, who is quite famous in fairy tales, but he is insignificant compared to the likes of the Three Kings Solomon, and in theory, he could not possibly be their match.
But judging from Gilles de Rais's appearance, could he possibly have some trump card up his sleeve? And Francesca, a tax evader who couldn't even beat the old bug, what makes him dare to oppose the Three Kings?
Gilles de Rais still wants her help? She's already under Solomon's control and can barely protect herself, what help could she possibly offer?
While countless viewers were puzzled and confused by this scene, the King of Heroes, one of the participants in this Holy Grail War, couldn't help but frown.
"Places that should absolutely not be connected"—Masaka, are they parasites that disgust people both psychologically and physically?
If it really is them, then the problem is huge. It won't just be about the Holy Grail War anymore. If it's not handled properly, the whole world could be at risk of destruction.
Did King Solomon really let these two get away with it? Did he really think he could handle those Outer Gods? What exactly did he see through his all-seeing eyes?
Gilgamesh pondered, he didn't believe that Solomon's all-seeing eyes couldn't see Bluebeard's actions. Even if he was just a king without a self, he shouldn't have allowed the appearance of an Outer God.
Damn it—looking at his own image on the light screen, Gilgamesh realized he had never hated himself as much as he did now. He should have known better than to be so arrogant.
Putting everything else aside, he hasn't even activated the All-Knowing and All-Powerful Star of Wisdom. He's still being played like a monkey by that king who has no self. If those Outer Gods really appeared, he'd probably be paralyzed on the spot with his Servant body.
If he were omniscient and omnipotent, at least he would have time to upgrade his spirit origin configuration, so that he wouldn't be completely unable to cope when the time came.
Ughhhh—I'm starting to feel like I was incredibly stupid in my youth!!!
The King of Heroes, currently at the Tohsaka Mansion, was scratching his head, wishing he could kill the version of himself on the screen, even though he was already a young man.

Light Screen Image -
Gilles de Rais slowly extended his hand, offering up his Noble Phantasm, the book made of human skin—
The Narrator's Cult Texts—the result of Plerati's own concoction of a potion that abandons reason to perform magic, because there is an astronomical probability that it will connect to "a place that should absolutely not be connected".
This book originally belonged to Francesca, but it was given to Gilles de Rais. Unless Gilles de Rais returns the book at the soul level, this Noble Phantasm will never be usable.
Of course, Gilles de Rais did not hand over the book of human skin with the intention of returning the treasure, or perhaps he was completely unaware of the need to return it at that moment. Francesca, of course, would not ask her friend for it back. In any case, for her, who possessed an immortal body, whether or not she had the treasure was not important.
Gilles de Rais was simply unable to truly communicate with the beings in the starry sky, which is why he chose to ask Francesca for help.
The price of invoking the Outer Gods is unimaginable. Even with Francesca's help, Gilles de Rais still endures immense pain—a pain that comes from the depths of his soul.
But that doesn't matter. As long as he can awaken Joan of Arc's soul, even if it means burning his own spiritual foundation and becoming the vessel of an Outer God, he will have no regrets. This is Gilles de Rais's faith in the saint!
At this moment, the camera zooms out, allowing people to vaguely see the current situation through the shadows.
Only then did people discover that Bluebeard's lower body had turned into a bunch of huge tentacles, or rather, a huge tentacle had eroded his lower body.
In the entire sewer space, you can see huge and disgusting sticky tentacles. There are many of them, piled together. Just looking at them makes people's scalp tingle and goose bumps appear uncontrollably.
At this point, everyone could see that something was wrong with Bluebeard. He seemed to have summoned something very terrifying, which was why his lower body was eroded.
Then, the camera changed again. The tentacles began to erode Bluebeard's body at an accelerated rate and wrapped around his body. A new round of mutations emerged along with ominous purple-black energy, and even the space began to distort.
Even through the light screen, many people still felt uncomfortable watching this scene, experiencing a strange dizziness accompanied by nausea, just like motion sickness.
A cross-dimensional attack? — Even just the psychological discomfort is terrifying. If it's this scary through the screen, wouldn't it be mortal danger to see it in person?
"At this moment—let us once again raise the banner of salvation!!"
Before his spirit origin was about to completely disappear, Bluebeard uttered his last words, offering his life and soul in exchange for the saintess's memories—perhaps the most romantic thing for him.
As the tentacles writhed, Bluebeard was finally completely swallowed up.
The camera suddenly shows Solomon's Master, Marisbury, but only the lower half of the man's face is shown, and you can clearly see that the smile on the man's face has become very pleasant.
Everything was going according to plan, how could he not be happy? Then, that gentle voice rang out again:
"Then let the real drama of tonight begin!"
Then, they returned to Einzbern Castle, where the Conqueror King had already dispelled the enchanted barrier, and everyone had returned to the real world.
However, Waver still looked as if his soul had been shaken to the point of not recovering, and Irisviel was still terrified and hadn't recovered either.
Gilgamesh sat on the ground from beginning to end, with his hands folded across his chest and an expressionless face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Artoria looked at the King of Conquerors with a serious expression, as if she regarded the latter as a great enemy.
The Conqueror King sat down again, picked up the golden goblet, and drank the wine in it in one gulp. He said, "Has everyone finished saying what they wanted to say? Well then, let's end the night here... um?"
Not only the Conqueror King, but all three kings simultaneously focused their gazes on one person: Alicia, who had suddenly stood up for some unknown reason.
At this moment, Alicia had no time to pay attention to the expressions of the three of them. Her eyes now revealed an unprecedented seriousness, which no one, including the audience in the light screen projection, had ever seen before.
"Alicia...what happened?"
Saber asked in confusion, as she didn't perceive anything strange happening, so why did Alicia seem to have a sense of impending doom?
"I don't know... there's a very chaotic aura gathering in the city center... something feels wrong, this uncomfortable feeling..."
Alicia didn't continue. The natural enemy of mankind—that was the feeling that aura gave her. But why hadn't she discovered such an outrageous existence after playing for so long?
It was as if the world had suddenly changed drastically; Alicia's senses told her that this was a catastrophe capable of destroying the world!
As if in response to Alicia's feelings, a tremendous magical power erupted in the city center!
At the same time, the three Servants sensed the emergence of an evil and powerful magic, and all looked towards the direction of Fuyuki City, as if something had appeared there.
Irisviel and Waver were stunned by this. They hadn't noticed yet, so Irisviel couldn't help but ask, "Saber, what's wrong?"
Weber asked, "Rder, what did you find? Why are you so serious...don't scare me!"
The sudden event startled the weak Waver. Alicia and the three kings—the most luxurious lineup in the Holy Grail War—were all looking towards the city center as if they had rehearsed in advance.
"Miss Ellie...what is that?"
The golden goblet in the Conqueror King's hand cracked slightly under the immense magical power.
"I need to go take a look first—"
Without replying to the Conqueror King, Alicia sped toward the city center at a speed that even the three kings could hardly see.
That's the city center, where countless ordinary people are. Logically and emotionally, Alicia can't abandon so many humans.
At this moment, Gilgamesh frowned, realizing that things were not so simple; the magical power had exceeded the limit of the Holy Grail War.
So... the all-knowing and all-powerful Star of Wisdom—Open!
Gilgamesh was mad, but not stupid. He recognized the unusual magical activity and decided to assess the situation before making a decision. However...
"Uh-"
As if he had suffered a severe blow, Gilgamesh felt dizzy and immediately turned off the All-Knowing and All-Powerful Star of Wisdom before he recovered. What happened?
Why can't the omniscient and omnipotent Star of Wisdom be activated? Is it man-made?
Who on earth is capable of sealing away my sacred weapon?!
Chapter Fifty-Six: Director Ken, Put Your Hat On
The teachings of Luoyan City—are they really that terrifying?
The emergence of this new situation shocked the audience outside the screen. The Outer God possession summoned by using Francesca as a medium and exchanging Bluebeard's spirit origin and soul as a means of exchange had displayed such astonishing power.
If the battles between Holy Grail Wars only surprised and amazed them, then the appearance of Outer God possession overturned their understanding.
Even with legendary heroes like the Three Kings, the Holy Grail Wars of the past were limited to battles fought within the city of Fuyuki.
And what did Alicia say?
A catastrophe powerful enough to destroy the world!!!
When did the world become so fragile, destroyed so easily? No matter what, the world called Type-Moon is terrifyingly deep.
How could a world-destroying disaster happen so easily?

Eriri: "World destruction? Are you kidding me? Bluebeard has that kind of power?"
Conan: "The 'Snail Annihilation City Text,' the Outer Gods... do you mean the gods in the Cthulhu Mythos?"
Kiana: "Cthulhu...? What's that? Is it powerful?"
