The events following Irisviel's failure as a vessel for the Holy Grail have become known to the almost omnipotent Solomon.
The ability to see far is simply too overpowered, especially since Solomon is at the highest level. In the entire Fuyuki City, only Gilgamesh, the all-knowing and all-powerful Star of Wisdom, can compare to his clairvoyance. Unfortunately, that arrogant king was too careless.
Under Solomon's magical influence, Gilgamesh was unable to use his omniscience and omnipotence until the end of the Holy Grail War.
As the viewers of the light screen images guessed, the magical power of those Servants was indeed extracted by Solomon. In the end, the Holy Grail War was just a rather elaborate and rigorous magical ritual. As long as it was within the realm of magic, Solomon was invincible.
For Solomon, changing the container or resolving the resentment of the Servant within the Holy Grail was an extremely simple matter.
If Solomon wanted, he could even reshape the entire rules of the Holy Grail War. The Holy Grail War system, painstakingly established by the three founding families five hundred years ago, was nothing more than a child's clever trick in the eyes of this king.
"Caster, how's the thing I asked you to do?"
A voice broke Caster's reverie. Maris Billy stepped forward and asked Solomon gently. Although he appeared humble and gentle, the audience on the screen, who knew the man's true nature, no longer dared to underestimate him.
The man before me is someone who has completely outmaneuvered all the participants in the Holy Grail War, and who knows what kind of conspiracy he is plotting.
“Alicia is not a character from a parallel world. Even with the limits of my clairvoyance and the use of forbidden powers, I could only obtain some trivial information.”
Responding to Marisbury's words with the utter indifference of a machine, Solomon was such a king; compared to the Holy Grail, he was more like an omnipotent wish-granting machine.
“Just the trivialities are enough. Tell me everything you know, Caster.”
Maris Billy harbored a rather peculiar feeling towards Alicia—a curiosity and yearning for the unknown. Magicians often have a strong curiosity about the unknown, and it is precisely because of this that they seek the root of things.
A character that doesn't even exist in parallel worlds—this is clearly beyond Marisbury's comprehension. Could it be an unobservable entity similar to those Outer Gods?
However, the Outer Gods don't have such deceptively beautiful faces.
"Ok."
Ignoring Marisbury's thoughts, Solomon nodded and then stated all the information he knew without expression.
But instead of immediately beginning to talk about Alicia, he presented a certain concept to Marisbury:
“Master, if we compare our world and all the parallel worlds we can connect to to a multi-box, then Alicia is a character in another box outside of this box. Her origins and her past deeds have left no trace in our box. Therefore, abilities such as clairvoyance and omniscience are meaningless to her.”
"According to the information I have obtained, the Counter Force actually began to monitor Alicia when she first descended into this world, which was the first night of the Holy Grail War. However, the monitoring only lasted for one day before it disappeared without a trace."
"This is clearly an anomaly. Alicia, who left no trace in the box, is a disaster that threatens the existence of the world for the Counter Force. Regardless of whether she is an ordinary person or not, the Counter Force would have eliminated her. However, the Counter Force not only did not take action, but its surveillance on Alicia only lasted for a short day."
"In other words, the Counter Force knew about the box where Alicia was from the beginning, and even communicated with a certain entity inside that box. Therefore, it knows Alicia very well and is extremely familiar with her. That surveillance was most likely to confirm whether Alicia matched the information obtained by the Counter Force."
Solomon laid out his conjectures and the information he had obtained using forbidden powers, while Marisbury fell into deep thought, concerning another multiverse completely different from the multiverse box they were in, the mysteries of which were beyond his comprehension.
“Go on, Caster, what is the meaning of Alicia’s coming into this world?” Marisbury asked.
“Correct,” Solomon answered without hesitation.
"Correction?"
"That's right, correction. Someone made a choice that went against the original course of history, but the restraining force could not stop it, or could not stop it, so they chose to seek a solution from another multi-faceted approach."
"And the ones who changed the course of world history, reverting it to its original trajectory, are us..."
As Solomon finished speaking, not only did Maris Billy fall silent, but the audience outside the screen were also stunned.
In other words, Alicia's existence not only does not affect the world, but actually helps the world to continue better?
What a bizarre development direction this is! Solomon's explanation is far too complicated, and how could two multiverse boxes possibly communicate with each other?
No, no, this is just Solomon's guess. There are still many unresolved questions... such as who the Counter Force is communicating with, and how it is so sure that Alicia will continue this world.
“Hahahahahaha~~~”
While countless people were puzzled by this, Maris Billy laughed unrestrainedly.
"We? You mean all my premeditations from the very beginning were carried out right under the nose of the Restraint Force?"
Solomon remained silent, and the restraint was behaving strangely. This time was no different; although the power of the Hero King was being restricted, there was no further restriction on him, which was itself abnormal.
Some powerful Servants possess Noble Phantasms with devastating power. To prevent such Noble Phantasms from impacting the world, these Servants are generally restricted by Counter Force.
However, the restriction on Solomon was less of a restriction and more of an illusion created to make him believe that he was also restricted. Compared to the restrictions imposed on Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, the shackles on him were easily broken.
As Solomon pondered, Marisbury's maniacal laughter ceased, his face instantly returning to its original expression, as if he had just remembered something and said:
"Sigh, enough already. Is the world so fragile that only Saber is allowed to win the Holy Grail War? But speaking of which, Caster, if the Counter Force didn't stop me at the beginning, does that mean it couldn't stop me?"
"This is also what puzzles me; I can't see through the mindset of inhibition."
"Then I understand. Before I summoned you, the Counter had countless ways to eliminate me or prevent me from participating in the Holy Grail War, but it did none of them..."
Maris Bilibili paused for a moment, then continued, "In other words, my participation in this Holy Grail War is a permitted act, and the cause I want to accomplish is something it cannot stop me from doing."
Solomon: "You mean...?"
“Alicia’s existence was an accident. The Counter Force never intended to correct everything I did. It only sent Alicia to this world because it happened to encounter another box, hoping to make corrections. Alicia herself didn’t even know the meaning of her coming to this world.”
"Then...why should I choose to make an enemy of an unknown opponent over such a trivial matter? Rather, choosing to attack Alicia would have been the biggest mistake I ever made."
"My plan will continue, and once everything is on track, the restraint will surely eliminate me."
"But before that, it can no longer stop us from moving forward. Chaldea must be established; it is the foundation of everything, and it is also the last thing the Counter Force wants to accept!"
Maris Billy declared righteously that he now considered the world his enemy.
There exists something called destiny in this world, and to this day, every step he has taken seems to be guided by destiny.
This includes summoning Solomon to win the Holy Grail War. Among all the Servants, only Solomon could accomplish this. No other Servant, whether a god-level Servant like Gilgamesh or another Grand Servant on par with Solomon, could achieve his feat.
“Alicia, whether you want to stop me or not, everything I do is in accordance with destiny. Holy Grail—as the evil of this world, prepare to embrace your rebirth.”
Among the buildings, Marisbury left these words, then looked towards the distant Einzbern Castle, the only place that could affect his plans, but Marisbury harbored no ill will towards her.
Alicia's existence only filled him with gratitude, gratitude for being able to witness a much wider world.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Alicia is Dead
Light screen image bullet comments——
Bishop of Destiny: "So that's how it is. The multiverse that the light screen image calls Type-Moon is right around our world?"
Conan: "Now many things can be explained, such as why Alicia came to that world for no reason, or why the world did not reject her."
Kars: "It's really hard to imagine that the world itself has consciousness? But that doesn't matter, ko no Kars will eventually conquer the world."
The Conqueror King: "Wow—there are people in the multiverse who share the same ambitions as me, Iskandar?"
L: "The Holy Grail War should have about three days left, but according to Solomon's idea, the Holy Grail will probably appear in less than two days."
Weber: "Whatever that Celestial Monarch is thinking, even the world's restraining force has personally intervened to stop him, so he definitely doesn't have any good intentions."
DIO: "A man who fights against the world, interesting. That's what makes it interesting. Let me, DIO, witness your strategy—"
After Alicia's true reason for coming to the Type-Moon world was revealed, more and more viewers began to express their shock.
It is impossible for the worlds within two multi-dimensional boxes to communicate with each other, yet this impossible phenomenon has actually occurred.
Within the realm of the multiverse, anything is possible.

The camera then shifts from Marissbury to Eindzbern Castle.
It was already late at night, and most people would have been fast asleep.
However, Saber and her companions, along with Lancer, who were participants in the Holy Grail War, did not rest.
Outside Alicia's temporary room, Lancer leaned against the door. He didn't trust Kiritsugu Emiya. Even though Kenneth had treated him badly, Kenneth was still his former lord.
The fact that Kenneth was eliminated in such a cruel way, and that he would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, forced Lancer to be on his guard.
Lancer was absolutely certain that given the chance, Kiritsugu Emiya would kill Alicia without hesitation, so his main purpose in guarding the door was to prevent that treacherous Kiritsugu Emiya from doing so.
Time ticked by, and Lancer remained motionless. At this moment, Kiritsugu Emiya was probably in the conference room discussing the next steps with Saber and the others, but that was meaningless to Lancer. His only ambition in this Holy Grail War had already been fulfilled through Alicia.
But... seeing Alicia's door tightly closed, for some reason an ominous premonition rose in my heart.
"Three or four hours have passed, why is there still no movement? Is the lord resting?"
Lancer asked himself what this ominous feeling that arose from his heart was. Could it be that something had happened to his lord?
But that's impossible. Dimurdo has been guarding outside the door all along, and his lord's strength is far superior to his own.
"..."
A while later, the sound of Kiritsugu Emiya and Saber discussing something came from the conference room, but Lancer had completely lost interest in listening any further.
It might disturb the lord, but he needs to check on Alicia's condition now, even if it means being punished later.
"My lord, can you hear me? It's too quiet in the room. I'd like to check on your condition first. May I come in?"
Silence... There wasn't a single response in the empty corridor. Strange, so strange, it was extremely strange.
Lancer's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the people in the room to hear. Moreover, Alicia was so powerful that she could hear even the sound of a pin dropping within dozens of meters.
But now... there's absolutely no response. Could it be that Alicia heard it but didn't respond? Or perhaps...
A growing sense of foreboding compelled Lancer to grip the handle. Something was wrong... something was very wrong. He had to go inside and check.
"My lord, I've come in."
With that, Lancer turned the handle and entered the room.
......
Although it was just a simple temporary residence, it was still a clean and tidy room. Einzbern Castle was very large, and this room had never been lived in before, so it was covered in dust.
Presumably due to Alicia's previous tidying up, there was almost no dust in the air.
"My lord?" As Lancer entered, the first thing he saw was Alicia lying on the bed.
Is he resting? Maybe he was too tired to hear his voice...?
How could this be?!
If she's asleep, why isn't she breathing? And if she's not asleep, there's no way she wouldn't have responded to the sound.
He quickly approached Alicia and saw that Alicia had her eyes tightly closed and was not moving at all.
