Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

This is the future that Charlemagne will achieve.

Alien Keys declared this, but the young prince was not excited by the great feat he was about to accomplish; instead, he was bewildered.

Is it true that my future was predetermined at birth...? Damn it, I will fight against it.

He thought so.

The young prince has not yet accepted.

Whether it's building a great empire or becoming someone who goes down in history.

The reason is actually very simple: if you want to achieve such a great feat, you will decide to use any means necessary along the way, and you will become a very lame existence that has nothing to do with knights, adventurers, kings, or heroes, and is not cool at all.

And at that moment, he heard it.

A voice that sounded like it was entrusted to him from a distant past, as if it knew he would be caught in a dilemma.

"You will succeed, I have no doubt about that, not because of some so-called destiny, but because of your tireless efforts to bring peace, and your friends. Yes, that's right, I also think that people who work hard are very cool."

Perhaps it was this brief message that gradually transformed the young prince into Charlemagne, the father of Western Europe, who remained calm and composed in the face of victory or defeat, never lost or distressed, and continued to move forward with steady and rational thinking.

His fantasy was that of Charlemagne, after all, if the king would save all people, then the knight would save the rest.

“I see. Although you could look like an old man, it just feels a bit strange if you call me brother-in-law like that, Carl.”

Novia smiled happily.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you, brother-in-law."

The black-haired youth said with emotion that although it wasn't the first time someone had called him by that name, it was the first time his brother-in-law had called him that.

"No, you didn't have any intention of hiding anything, but it's hard for the average person to tell the difference between you and Charlemagne."

"But you recognized it at a glance, brother-in-law. He's so handsome! It really got me all fired up. You're such a brother-in-law."

Charlemagne became increasingly proud as he spoke, as if Novia was really cool. Then, as if remembering something, he handed Novia the 'Three-Based Magic Furnace' on his body.

"Oh right, brother-in-law, this is El-Melloi's secret treasure, which is also my current Master. Due to various special reasons, it has been fused with a person for decades. How should I put it, after all, this is the Master's wish. Although I feel it is very difficult, brother-in-law, can you separate that person from it?"

As for the cause and effect of the 'Three-Based Magic Furnace' transforming into the blonde Ayaka, it can only be said that Ayaka Masajō, who went to deal with the Fuyuki Holy Grail, did good deeds but ended up causing trouble, resulting in an innocent and reclusive college student suffering. Although Novia does have the ability to separate the two, for this college student, although he is reclusive, losing ten years of his life out of nowhere is hard to accept no matter how you look at it.

It's like that 'uncle' who traveled to another world for seventeen years and then traveled back.

Or, if all else fails, could we ask someone from the church to take care of us?

Anyway, it seems Qihuang is being taken care of fairly well. Counting, Qihuang should be at the address I gave her by now, while Typhon and Altrouge should be...

Speaking of which, weren't Kaubeck and Kishua observing the situation during the Holy Grail War in the snowfield? They should know I'm here, so they should come out if I call out a couple of times.

Okay, that's settled then. From now on, I'll have Kaubak relay my message.

Novia didn't actually intend to show herself in front of the church members, after all, it's better to live a simple and peaceful life.

“That’s not a big problem, but Carl, you didn’t come here just for this, did you?”

"...I was so excited to see you, brother-in-law, that I almost forgot to say it."

Charlemagne slapped his forehead and said with a laugh,

"Actually, I'm just here to declare war. Well, right now, aside from the two assassins and cavalry who don't want to talk to me, there's also the already dead Berserker, King of Heroes, and Avenger. The ones willing to join me are Enkidu, Dumas, Sigma, and Jack. After all, we're all going to participate in the Holy Grail War. Even if we can't win, we should at least give it a try."

"Well, as expected. I originally wanted to wait a few more days, but since that's the case, it's not impossible."

Novia stroked her chin. "Speaking of which, if you were to obtain the Holy Grail, what would you wish for, Karl?"

Although the Holy Grail of the Snowfield has no 'third' essence and has been corrupted, and because Alcides merged with it and then destroyed his spirit origin shortly afterward, in other words the Holy Grail has actually been destroyed. The reason why the remaining Servants can still exist in the world is largely thanks to Novia.

"...Throughout my life, I have always held onto one wish, and it remains unchanged to this day."

"Like bubbles of memories rising from the azure seabed," the black-haired youth said.

"My sister has been waiting for you for a long time, brother-in-law."

“I think so too, Carl.”

Novia's idea was to have Attila reincarnate as a young girl, that is, to appear on the ground as the juvenile form of Sefalu.

However, the biggest problem is with the Moon Crystal. Once Attila leaves the stone chamber, the wandering star will detect this still-intact star system again. Therefore, given MC's rational programming, it's highly unlikely that it will agree... However, it's not impossible that MC might agree because of its past as the Moon King.

Since he had helped someone with this matter, it was only natural that Attila should stay on the ground as payment.

"Then I can fight with peace of mind."

"There's no time to lose. Since you've already made up your minds, let's begin now."

As Novia finished speaking, four figures quickly appeared around him in the park.

"I will express my gratitude for your kindness through battle."

The green-haired beauty, the Chains of Heaven, Enkidu calmly opened her arms and gently sang a song from the depths of her throat.

The song shook the earth itself, transforming into a beautiful tremor that resounded once more.

"I'm truly sorry, but that guy has absolutely no fighting ability, so I had to be the one to use his Noble Phantasm. I'm really sorry."

Police Chief Orlando, hailed as a hero by the playwright, rushes to the scene after a difficult kill of the Italian mafia boss, Bazdilot.

Well, his Japanese katana is a fairly powerful Noble Phantasm, but that's about it.

"My Master was unaware of this matter; it was solely my doing. Please do not blame him."

One side was shrouded in thick fog, the roadside trees had all transformed into an unfamiliar bluish-black plant, bats with human faces danced in the air, flames resembling imps surrounded traffic lights, and there were even hallucinations of buildings blackened by coal smoke, reminiscent of the alleyways of London—

However, there was no one there, only a demon.

This is the berserker "Jack the Ripper," whose true name he doesn't even know. He relied on his Noble Phantasm "The Mist and the London Dawn to Destroy and Vanish," and it was the result of manifesting the rumor that "Jack's true identity is a demon from hell" as the embodiment of his power.

"...I had no idea that the Novia I knew would have this kind of identity. If you said you were just possessed, I could understand."

From above the mercenary named Sigma, a white whale appeared, carrying a gigantic object—neither a god, demon, nor hero.

Its real name is Moby Dick, the white whale. In the Type-Moon universe, Moby Dick is a mythical beast of the same level as Typhon, and is also a super weapon-like thing.

Under the sunlight, the world suddenly fell silent.

"Come on, everyone."

Novia's voice rang out from the re-emerging thunderclouds, accompanied by the spreading dark storm.

From here, endless thunder and lightning surge forth.

192: Total Annihilation! Karl's Minor League (5k)

"I surrender."

The spreading, dark storm, through the simultaneous generation of thunder and lightning, creates a terrifying, cumulative impact, generating overwhelming power in any direction.

All that was in front of him vanished in an instant, and Orlando, who could barely withstand the lightning, immediately realized it.

It wasn't something I saw with my own eyes, but something I felt.

The magical energy fluctuations flowing in from the spiritual veins are transformed into vision. Of course, the perception brought by magic is completely different from visual information that is mainly based on the reflection of light.

It seemed to be generating endless shockwaves, and the vibrations of each other interfered with each other, causing them to resonate and their energy to be amplified at an extreme speed.

Although it may seem like a simple thunderbolt, it is actually very similar to the phenomenon of irregular waves colliding and combining in the ocean to eventually produce huge waves.

It was not simply about applying force, but about manipulating countless imperceptible streams of magic, traversing time and space, concentrating all the impact into the space designated by Novia.

Therefore, feeling that he had fulfilled the initial conditions for allying with Charlemagne, Sheriff Orlando unhesitatingly chose to simply say, "I've done my best, I really can't do anything else."

After all, this was Novia, and Orlando really didn't think there was any chance of winning. If it weren't for the alliance with Charlemagne, he wouldn't have come at all. Moreover, Orlando wasn't the only one; Enkidu, Jack, and Sigma all had similar thoughts.

Enkidu originally had no intention of taking action, since Novia was recognized by the planet in addition to her identity, so he naturally couldn't bring himself to do it. However, he only took action because of Charlemagne's shameless pleas.

Jack, although his initial goal was to obtain the Holy Grail and learn his true identity, after spending the past few days with his Master Flat, he now hopes more that his foolish Master can survive than to obtain the Holy Grail. However, like Enkidu, he came only because Charlemagne begged him.

As for Sigma, it's quite simple. His original goal was to kill Francesca, and now that Francesca is dead, his goal has been achieved. As for whether the Novia in the Holy Grail War is the same Novia he knows, he doesn't care; that doesn't affect him.

The reason Sigma came here was the same as the three mentioned above.

Moreover, this was not caused by the use of the Alien Key. After all, he is now a Sword-class, not a Punisher. But even as a Punisher, Emperor Karl understands that the Alien Key he can use is useless to Novia. In fact, it can be said that the Alien Key belongs to Novia, and he is merely a borrower.

In short, he attracted these people by virtue of his personal charm. It can only be said that Charlemagne, who appeared in the appearance of Charlemagne, was indeed a holy king who created Europe.

"...Even demons...fear it."

Jack's demonic manifestation is not limited to one person; he also simultaneously utilizes another Noble Phantasm he possesses—

'It is not worthy of a tragic end.'

This is a Noble Phantasm based on the anecdote that 'Jack the Ripper was not alone, but a group.' The maximum number of members varies depending on the master's magical power, but at this moment it can be divided into 512.

Jack's plan was to use sheer numbers—that is, to use a large number of 'demons' to resist the lightning and get close to Novia, and then engage in a physical fight. Moreover, to ordinary people, more than five hundred demons would certainly be a formidable force if hell really existed.

But in an instant, the moment Novia glanced at Jack, who had transformed into a demon, he even forgot his fear and stopped moving.

That was an aura so natural it was enough to shake any creature born from the concept of 'hell'. Under him, hell would unfold under his control, all things would operate in docile obedience, and everything would sing and praise as if it had a soul, taking and taking as it pleased.

Under these circumstances, Jack, unable to move, had no choice but to deactivate his two Noble Phantasms and withdraw from the battlefield, just like Orlando.

"I will express my gratitude for your help in eliminating that woman through battle."

The reason Enkidu appears as a Lancer Heroic Spirit is primarily due to his Noble Phantasm, or rather, his essence.

In Babylonian mythology, the Hero King is a being born on earth as a link between the gods and humans, preventing the separation between the gods and humans.

However, whether by forgetting or by doing so intentionally, the Hero King failed to fulfill his duty and instead began to implement a rule that caused the gods and men to separate.

Enkidu was a spear thrust forth to correct, question, and hold accountable the Hero-King who failed to fulfill his mission. In other words, he was a divinely created weapon born from the concept of piercing through those who turned against him and returning the bond to the hands of the gods.

The Noble Phantasm of the Chains of Heaven, in other words, is a strike he unleashed by using his own body as a weapon, which is nothing more than piercing and stitching the world together.

If there is a barrier between heaven and earth, then he and its concept run through it.

"Man, may you be bound to God!"

The planet cries out.

A massive amount of magical power surged up at Enkidu's feet, enveloping the descending endless lightning.

"...It was my fault that I angered you."

This is not what Novia, who is in confrontation with Enkidu, said. Enkidu speaks of the vast amount of magic that envelops the void and spatial rifts, or rather, of the planet itself.

"After all, this person has already agreed."

Enkidu gestured to Novia, and the silver-haired youth nodded in response.

In an instant, several times more magic power erupted from the ground, transforming into a magical tornado that enveloped Enkidu's body. Then, with Enkidu at its core, it transformed into a gigantic spear of light that pierced through the heavens and the earth.

It is the concept of spreading life, the spark created to transcend primal fear, moving from the past to the future, and from the future to eternity. The earth will be connected with the sea and the sky. Even while walking in hell with humans, 'that' will still sing praises of paradise.

The divine spear, in order to maintain the world that has been torn into countless pieces, advances rapidly in a straight line, directly clashing with the concept of thunder that continues to tear the world apart.

Then──

Novia raised her holy sword towards the Chains of Heaven that were attacking her, and then—

Inspire the response of all things in the universe!

The man raised his hand, and golden light flowed within the countless magic matrices of the holy sword. Magic flowed out, shrinking the lightning and transforming the magic cannon, creating a clear sky in a human way.

Then, Novia swung the holy sword.

Under the sunlight, the world suddenly fell silent.

In that instant, the earth, the sky, the sea, and all other places illuminated by the light seemed to be given life and will, obeying the command of the Supreme One and displaying power.

The collision didn't produce the expected earth-shattering roar. Even the sounds generated by a normal collision vanished without a trace. Everything was swallowed up by a peaceful silence. All the sounds of the world disappeared, as if everything had been abandoned, as if the world had suffocated.

"As expected, we should have just run away."

Enkidu, having unleashed his Noble Phantasm, spun around and landed on the ground.

"Moby Dick".

As Sigma shouted, the beluga whale in the sky roared, its mouth containing an extremely large blade that seemed capable of severing everything.

Moby-Dick was originally a long novel about the sea published in 1851 by the 19th-century American novelist Herman Melville. It tells the story of Captain Ahab's pursuit and killing of the white whale Moby Dick, which ultimately led to their mutual destruction.

In the Type-Moon universe, Moby Dick is not a simple sperm whale, but a fantasy species of extremely high status, a super weapon creature on par with Typhon, the Greek archdragon.

Novia couldn't help but smile as the enormous beluga whale hurtled towards her.
