I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

However, it's impossible for Lisa to have no feelings for Lingai at all when living with her blood relatives for a long time.

She is, after all, his own child.

For Lisa, who still had some conscience, pushing a child into hell with her own hands was extremely agonizing.

...........

On the other side, after receiving Duanmu Lian's distress signal and shortly thereafter receiving the summoning command of the Holy Grail, Red Spider also knew that something big had happened to Suwahara.

During this time, besides engaging in his own underhanded activities, he was also secretly investigating Beatrice on orders.

Because the other party showed signs of betraying the Black Round Table.

Beatrice also had that motive in Starscream's eyes.

The other party was a soldier of the German Empire and was once a close friend and comrade-in-arms with Elunere, who is now one of the three knights of the Heydrich Guard.

Beatrice held a near-reverential respect for Eluneore when she was still human.

She relentlessly pursued her as an idol, and together they traversed battlefields large and small as Valkyrie-like sisters.

But everything changed during Christmas 1939, in the midst of the war.

That night, Elunere was drawn to the overwhelming power of the golden beast Reinhard and offered him her unwavering loyalty until death.

Back then, Beatrice and Eluneore were forcibly transferred by the Gestapo to work under Heydrich, who had already fallen into the path of evil.

Beatrice was unwilling to let the respected Eluneore fall into the demonic path, so in order to save her from that path, she herself also devoted herself to the demonic path.

This is why Beatrice has never sworn allegiance to Reinhard, nor has she offered her soul to him.

However, even becoming an Eternal Demon and gaining immense power beyond human capabilities was of no use.

Beatrice gradually broke down after being unable to reverse her country's defeat and after spending time with her companions who could kill their own countrymen without hesitation.

Afterwards, Reinhard issued the order to "sacrifice one's own people," and devoured all the souls in Berlin, friend and foe alike.

And under the influence of Eluneore, who forgot that protecting civilians is a soldier's responsibility and duty, and obeyed orders without hesitation.

Beatrice was utterly disillusioned with the officer she admired.

After all, she had killed her own family members because of this order, and even devoured their souls.

All these experiences that shattered her understanding and ravaged her heart led Beatrice to resolve to become an enemy of the Black Round Table.

Her motivation for surviving from World War II to this day is to save the respected Eluneore and destroy the Black Round Table.

This is because of the position of the Death Eater, and because the Sakurai family is only allowed to possess the relic, the Pseudo-Holy Lance.

Under Valyria's orders, Beatrice was dispatched to become the next Earth Eight Cain Devourer's watcher, responsible for monitoring the Sakurai siblings.

However, after meeting and spending time with the brother and sister, she gradually developed feelings for them.

Especially Sakurai Kai, although he hasn't said it yet, the two of them are in love with each other.

However, the relic of Tuba Cain was made in imitation of Reinhard's Spear of Longinus.

Even counterfeit products are not something an ordinary person can handle.

During World War II, after the Sakurai family's ancestor created the False Holy Lance, his soul was devoured by it, and he became the False Holy Lance's puppet.

Afterwards, because the soulless body decays and rots, once it reaches its limit, the Pseudo-Holy Lance will automatically choose the next person of the Sakurai bloodline to become the new Dohachi Cain.

Therefore, the Earth Eight Cain is also known as the Corpse Soldier.

That relic, once picked up, will corrupt the body, turning it into a corpse, and finally the soul will be devoured by the relic.

The current third-generation Tsuchiya Cain, also known as Sakurai Kai, is about to become a zombie.

As her lover, Beatrice naturally didn't want her beloved to become a soulless walking corpse.

So on this Christmas, she specially invited the two-headed eagle of the Eastern Orthodox Church to Suwahara City.

She intends to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate the members of the Black Round Table and plans to use the incomplete gold to summon Reinhard back to the mortal world to defeat him.

However, Beatrice's actions had already been discovered by Starscream, who was skilled in espionage.

"Oh dear, this Christmas is going to be anything but peaceful."

Red Spider's helpless voice echoed inside the car as it sped along the highway.

He was driving and had already entered Suwahara.

Besides him, there were two other people in the car.

"Spinne lives a very refined life. Do you have any appointments for Christmas Day?"

The sweet and lovely girl with red hair and green eyes, Rusalka Schweglin, the witch of the Black Round Table, looked at Red Spider driving with a smile.

"He would never date a woman. If he had his eye on a woman, he would probably just tie her up with a spider web, take off her pants, and go have his fun."

Sitting next to the witch Rusalka was a white-haired, red-eyed young man with obvious albinism.

The other person spoke very rudely, and his whole demeanor was like that of a thug.

However, the fierce, scarlet eyes behind his sunglasses set him apart from ordinary thugs, creating a boundary as deep as an abyss.

He was also a member of the Black Round Table, and his name was Wilhelm Ereberg.

Red Spider, unfazed by the teasing from his two colleagues, calmly continued driving and said:

"Well, as the lieutenant said, I'm not good at dating women. I'm very busy every day, and I have too many things to do."

Yes, for his ideals, and for everything he has in this world now.

Like Beatrice, Red Spider also has a rebellious streak and secretly intends to betray the Black Round Table.

Within the black round table, the only one truly loyal to Reinhard Heydrich in this car was Wilhelm.

The witch and Red Spider both had their own ideas, as did everyone else.

After all, most people's feelings toward Reinhardt are based on fear.

"Yes, intelligence work is indeed very busy."

Rusalka, who had done similar work before, nodded in agreement, then looked out the car window and continued, "So, Spinne, do you know why the Grail called us here so urgently?"

"That's because... Hmph, it seems I don't need to say anything, Bey, Melleus."

As Rusalka asked his question, Red Spider was about to say something...

But he stopped abruptly as soon as he spoke, and then let out a sinister chuckle.

"—Huh?"

Rusalka didn't react in time.

However, Wilhelm, a veteran of the battlefield, had already sensed the approaching war.

At this moment, he could already sense the combined killing intent directed at the car they were in.

So a joyful and ferocious smile spread across his face. His thirst for violence completely banished his previous misanthropic attitude, and he laughed happily:

"Hahaha, I like this kind of welcome. Consider it a drill on the future battlefield. Let me tear you to shreds!"

Boom boom boom boom! ! ! !

The moment Wilhelm finished speaking, the flames engulfed their vision.

Rockets, accompanied by countless bullets, rained down on the car they were in.

However, the three non-human demons were not surprised at all.

Faced with a barrage of fire from all sides, the sturdy German car was torn to shreds.

In the explosion, three unharmed figures landed on the ground.

The three war demons, already familiar with the atmosphere of the battlefield, stared at the armed personnel surrounding them with playful, fierce, and contemptuous eyes.

Before them emerged a gloomy man who resembled a missionary.

"We are people who live in the body, but we are not people who fight because we are controlled by the body."

On the shattered ground left by the explosion, a man stood solemnly amidst the flames of war burning behind him.

The other side are true clergy, assassins who eliminate enemies in order to protect their faith.

"Our holy war is not a physical labor, but a war to destroy any fortress of the Lord, to defy the Lord's wisdom, and to punish all their injustices. We will destroy everything that the Lord has against them, and punish all their unrighteousness."

Like a solemn and fervent pilgrim, the man with a gloomy demeanor seemed to be making a vow, or perhaps chanting a hymn, as he coldly shouted at the three demonic cultivators before him:

“O dead, where is your destination? Where is your victory? Therefore…fall into the grave, and from this moment on, begin the execution of beheading.”

To Red Spider, Rusalka, and Wilhelm, the words spoken by the man before them must have been a woven sacred message.

These things weren't important; the reason they refrained from attacking this talkative guy was because of the threatening aura emanating from him.

However, the sense of threat did not come from the man in front of him.

Instead, it comes from afar—

"Thump—thump—thump—!!!"

Suddenly, from the direction of the Suwahara Museum, a series of bell tolls sounded, making the demons feel very uneasy.

“This is….” ×3.

Sensing an ominous atmosphere, the three of them couldn't help but look towards the direction of the museum from which the bell tolled.

At that moment, the man's words announcing the execution fell.

A sacred and solemn chanting arose around a guillotine that had just been transported to the museum.

"[Χρίστ?? αν?στη εκ νεκρ?ν...θαν?τω θ?νατον πατ?σα? (Christ rose from the ashes... and walked on death.)]"

"【Мы Погубим смерть и дадим царю гроба слово жизни（吾等，方为以死灭死，赐墓只王宿命之理也。）】"

A chilling sensation emanating from their necks swept over all the Eternal Calamity Demons in Suwahara.

Listening to this eerie chanting, they felt as if they were standing under a guillotine, in danger of being beheaded at any moment.

"[καί τοί? εν τοι? μν?μασι ζω?ν...θαν?τω θ?νατον χαρισ?μενο? (You, those who rest in the coffin... enter the samadhi of annihilation and regain your body and life.)]"
