Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

And it was during this time that Aika Sajo was imagining all sorts of things and preparing to take action.

On the other side—Reiryukan—a huge Western European-style magic villa. As the head of Reiryukan, an ancient magic family in Tokyo, although he had never been involved in the Holy Grail War before, he had heard of the Holy Grail War that took place in the remote rural city of Fuyuki.

The fact that his daughter suddenly became a participant in the Holy Grail War and summoned a legendary Heroic Spirit is an unimaginable development that still leaves the old father deeply troubled.

When he saw his daughter, Misaya Reiryukan, fidgeting and restless on the sofa, occasionally glancing at the handsome man at the other end of the sofa, who was said to be a legendary 'heroic spirit,' the old father felt a strange sense of panic, but he forced himself to calm down.

He couldn't help but believe this fact—because that figure, with its beauty that seemed impossible to find in this era, could only possess such grandeur as the heroic spirits of ancient myths.

However, it is not surprising that this father is worried because of his extraordinary demeanor, fearing that his little girl might be seduced at such a young age.

After all—even in the night when most concepts were blocked, that face was still a bewitching beauty that even the male owner of the Linglong Pavilion couldn't bear to look at for too long.

Beauty knows no gender; its allure makes all beings equal. For children whose values ​​are not yet fully formed, this extraordinary beauty is a deadly temptation, like poison.

If one becomes obsessed with this beauty, one's sexual orientation might even become distorted as a result.

“Unknown Heroic Spirit, now that you have formed a contract with me, may I ask for your true name and class?” Seeing that Misaya was becoming increasingly bold, seemingly thinking that her little actions had not been discovered, the head of the Reiryukan could no longer sit still and finally spoke up to break the deadlock.

At this moment, Night opened her eyes, which were as dreamy and distinctive as the starry sky.

Chapter Thirteen: Class Beast. Beasts are attracted to each other!

When asked about their true name and class—important information that all Masters will know immediately during this Holy Grail War.

Based on the legends of their own Heroic Spirits, the ability to prevent the weaknesses revealed in mythology while effectively utilizing their strengths to defeat enemies is a fundamental quality that a qualified Master should possess.

By utilizing the compatibility and counter-compatibility between classes, if you draw an Assassin card, it's best to use it to deal with fragile casters like Casters, or even assassinate the enemy Master directly.

If you are a Caster, then make the most of your magic and turn your own yard into the strongest war fortress and magic workshop.

In the original timeline of the Holy Grail War, the head of the Linglong Pavilion went to great lengths to deliberately summon what he considered to be the most suitable Heroic Spirit—Caster.

Then, by spending the family's savings, they transformed the Linglong Pavilion into a magic workshop that even Berserker would find difficult to breach.

however--

Real name: ? ? ? (Fill in your own name)

Job Title: Beast / (or fill in your own information)

The six-dimensional attributes are definitely a question mark. For Ye, his six-dimensional attributes depend on how much of his true self he displays. If he descends in the form of 'absolute evil' and faces the world and civilization itself, his value will exceed the sum of the values ​​of all the heroes in the world today.

This is the current panel for Night.

The final concept, seemingly not included in the settlement rewards after returning from the Norse universe, is actually a further enhanced version of the final human trial concept, bringing additional power.

That makes perfect sense!

As the ultimate tribulation that humanity cannot easily overcome, all his stats are not equal to, but greater than, the sum of all the heroes of his time. This is similar to the setting of the Last King next door, whose stats are equal to the sum of all the god-slayers, but his is obviously more abnormal.

But if it weren't for such overwhelming despair, how could it be considered a trial for civilization, for race, and even for the planet?

As for the Beast class, based on what Night did in those universes and the compatibility with the legends, it possesses both the loving side of humanity and the extreme evil side that destroys everything.

To be honest, none of the seven beasts combined are as beast-like as him.

Of course—if the order of the beasts is arranged according to the Kabbalah Tree of Life, Night is definitely not in any of the sequences. It stands alone, yet it is above all the beasts. It is no exaggeration to say that Night is the beast among beasts. Humanity would be so afraid of Night that it would run away in the middle of the night.

When asked about his class and true name, he revealed that he originally intended to descend into the Subspecies Holy Grail War as Siegfried, but unexpectedly arrived in another world. At this time, he was not summoned as Siegfried, but rather as the person known as 'Night,' sought after by the powerful will of someone in this world.

He can give any name he wants... However, because it is an illegal summon, he does not seem to belong to any of the seven classes, but he can fill in any class for himself, as long as the corresponding Servant has not been summoned yet.

"Your real name?"

Suddenly remembering something, Night spoke up the long-forgotten name: "Night—Lista Night Magrus!"

……

Just as Ye revealed his original name after arriving in the current main world, he really wanted to know whether the things he had done, not in the conceptual universe but in reality, had also been simultaneously reflected in all universes.

And right after Yoru uttered that name, no one present showed any surprise, not even Misaya Reirōkan seemed to be very calm.

Could it be that he's not famous? No—even if he were not famous, it wouldn't be enough to make the two of them completely unresponsive upon hearing his name. Even now, limited by the power of his soul will, Ye's extraordinary senses still made him realize that something was amiss.

At least Misaya, who was just now unable to restrain herself and occasionally peeking at him, has now become a well-behaved child, sitting upright, which is already very strange.

Without saying a word, Ye decided to first see what was going on.

At this moment—in terms of voice, pulse, and demeanor, just like before—the 'head of the Linglong Pavilion' spoke calmly: "It is indeed a rare name. Like that legendary Greek hero, it is said that when Griffith, who was hailed as one of the strongest heroes of Greece, was not originally called by this name, he was also known as 'Night.' However—heroes who possess this name seem to suffer misfortune."

"After Griffith shot the arrow that brought peace, the war did not subside; in fact, it intensified, rendering all the sacrifices of that hero meaningless and worthless. Similarly, Sigurd Night Volsung, a Norse dragon-slaying hero with a similar name, willingly became an evil that could never be defeated, for the sake of humanity's future. He placed his hopes on humanity's potential, yet he never received a 'response' from them."

The 'Head of Linglong Pavilion' continued with a sigh, "There is no response—just as humanity knew it had no future from the moment it learned of the final trial, and that king will never see his end. This was destined from the very beginning. Neither I nor you can change it. I'm afraid even what we are about to fight for—the Holy Grail, known as the omnipotent wish-granting machine—cannot change this fate."

night:'……'

These were words that were almost directly directed at his ID card and were spoken in his name.

It would be impossible for an ordinary person to know, especially since it would be very difficult to connect his current Roman name with those two stories from the divine universe.

It seems they came prepared! And that familiar, heavy tone reminded Ye of a certain 'old friend' from her past life.

'The Head of the Linglong Pavilion': "However, the Holy Grail is merely a projection from a slightly higher dimensional phase, just a crystallized piece of superior magical resources. The reason it's called an omnipotent wish-granting machine is actually similar to the saying 'as long as you have money, you can do whatever you want.' In reality, the Holy Grail cannot accomplish what humans cannot. This is not a mistake."

Speaking of "someone else" whose true nature, which even the "head of the Linglong Pavilion" couldn't possibly understand so clearly, as if casually chatting with Ye, the "other person" seemed unconcerned about what might have been revealed about themselves. They continued speaking under this "disguise": "That's right—the Holy Grail can only 'shorten' time. It can create buildings, cities, and eras. The Holy Grail is something that can utilize vast magical resources to accomplish these things that humans can do ahead of time. However—it is absolutely impossible for it to save all of humanity, bring lasting peace, or eliminate humanity's final trial. Because humans simply cannot do such things. It's not about how many expectations heroes or demon kings have placed on humanity; it's simply because 'humanity was created according to this ending (the end)'."

Chapter Fourteen: Until my vast future shatters my vast past!

At this moment, 'Misaya' also spoke up, asking in her childish voice, "You've placed all your hopes on such a powerless and meaningless life. Aren't you resentful? Or are you sad? Don't you feel empty, big brother?"

Night looked at the two pairs of eyes that were now almost completely unmasked, both staring at her with a gaze that seemed to express pity and worry for her: "…………"

It's almost certain that Night is the shared identity of the three heroes mentioned earlier.

'Misaya': "This is outrageous. No, not just referring to heroes, but as an evaluation of all humanity, all life. Life is destined to die from the very beginning. Yet, in this predetermined state, it possesses the capacity for growth. Since death is inevitable anyway, then there's no need for growth. Whether physical or spiritual, it's enough to maintain the same state from beginning to end. In this way, there will be no sorrow or pain. All things will be equal, and all things will have meaning from the very beginning."

"Yet all life on this planet is in vain. It's as if they're growing only to die. It's utterly meaningless. Truly meaningless. The more time accumulates, the more attachment grows. The planet's environment for life is fundamentally flawed. Don't you think so, King of Humanity—! The ultimate test subject of humanity!" It was a sweet voice full of wisdom and compassion.

As he spoke, the scene before Ye's eyes changed—although he could have interrupted this little trick, Ye did not make a move but instead prepared to continue to see what the other party was going to release.

Then—he saw it; it was the memory of this world!

In this world of Greece, it is etched—the location is the Greek land that is both incredibly familiar and strange, the night saw itself—saw the hero named Griffith draw his longbow, blood splattering, limbs and bones exploding, yet he smiled as he watched the colorful shooting star that had already flown across the borders and the Mediterranean in the distance.

They saw it; the hero's strong body suddenly appeared old and decayed, weak and powerless—he stood hunched over, motionless, and breathless.

That tragic and magnificent scene would inspire both respect and sorrow in anyone who witnessed it.

However—the scene shifts, and while the scene here doesn't disappear, the world seems to be split in two, revealing another scene: the future after the hero's death, a world still engulfed in war, with signs of it escalating.

That's why it's so regrettable and infuriating. The hero's sacrifice was in vain. He should have been resting in the underworld, but that's why he was forced to rise from hell a second time to teach humanity the greatest lesson. From that moment on, the idea of ​​him becoming the 'final trial for humanity' was born to warn the world.

However—it was precisely because of the strange movements when Night suddenly entered the world that his life was observed and paid special attention to by many beings. Among them was a man who considered himself one of their kind. After learning about Night's tragic life, he also felt pity for the incredibly powerful Night.

She felt a desire to meet that man because he had failed to live up to the hero's sacrifice, because humanity, so foolish and unchanging from beginning to end, had never changed.

Just as he was about to speak...

Night suddenly spoke up: "Are you trying to ask me if it's even worth asking? What a pointless question—"

As they spoke—the moment their eyes met, they seemed to sense a vast and unshakable will in the darkness. The domineering laws of the night were manifesting, and in that instant, even the usually composed, calm, and collected 'someone' seemed to be stunned. The breath of the 'Linglong Pavilion father and daughter' caught in their throats at the same time.

How could someone who can achieve something comparable to celestial bodies through willpower, and who is just like the people next door who claim to be domineering Tai Chi or seeking the Tao Tai Chi, possibly be swayed by such words?

"Until my vast future shatters my vast past... Until then—even in this hellish world—I will fight evil with evil, until the end of time!"

Or—the moment when humanity finally defeats him!

It was because I understood the unwavering and powerful will behind those words, the soul's will as vast as the universe, that brought about such a shocking and moving perseverance.

The other party seemed to freeze or crash for a moment, unable to respond or say the next sentence for a long time, making it impossible for the other party to speak again, even if it wanted to persuade the other party to give up the foolish act of sacrificing oneself to continue to bear that huge evil for humanity.

"Is that so?" Before he could speak further, Ye suddenly unleashed his domineering laws, shattering this illusory space.

Bang~! !

Meanwhile, on the other side—in the Grand Temple of Time—the Demon King Goetia slowly opened his eyes.

"Even after traversing Greece and Northern Europe, from the past to the present, has this long period of time not changed your thoughts? Do you still—hold hope for humanity...? You are an absolutely evil demon king. You are both human and my kin."

Feeling somewhat disappointed and frustrated, he thought he needed to go to that world and have a proper conversation with this fellow countryman.

Just as witnessing Mashu's life strengthened his conviction that human history was wrong, witnessing that man's life only strengthened his resolve to burn down humanity and rebuild a new world. He believed that the relationship between him and that man should not be one of enmity, but rather one of standing shoulder to shoulder!

Therefore, he plans to continue trying.

...At this moment, on the other side.

After driving away a certain uninvited guest, who left Ye speechless—a man who inexplicably revealed kindness and pity.

In fact, no one noticed this except at night—a realization had come not long ago.

At this moment, what appears to the owner of Linglong Pavilion is a completely different picture.

The man, who introduced himself as belonging to the Beast, a class he had never heard of before, casually introduced himself and then ignored the head of the Reiko-kan, saying that he wanted to see how humanity had changed in this era, before leaving alone.

As a result, apart from his real name, nothing else was known.

The head of the Linglong Pavilion didn't think much of it—after all, he wasn't this person's master, and being told their real name was already quite good.

Based on the other person's real name, the father and daughter who were still at home quickly found out all the legends about this person.

The uncrowned king of Rome before the reign of Julius Caesar—a man who led his army to conquer the lands of Northern Europe, the territory he seized far exceeding the total area of ​​Rome at that time.

Tracing back further in time, it seems there was another entity with the same name.

In Rome at that time, he was known as the god of war, and legend has it that he even defeated the Carthaginian dragon and publicly tried the ruthless members of the Senate.

They defeated—the "Dragon"?!

Chapter Fifteen, after all, consists of Roman heroes; they won't be as good as Greek heroes...?

Having defeated a dragon... The owner of the Linglong Pavilion was somewhat surprised—was it a real dragon, a pure-blooded dragon? Were dragons still active on the Roman lands at that time?

Because it is an unofficial historical account, it is impossible to confirm whether the legend of that person actually defeated the dragon.

"I don't know which one you summoned. The uncrowned king who conquered Northern Europe on the northern expedition, the Roman war god who defeated dragons... According to legend, either one is a first-class heroic spirit. If it's the latter, a hero who can defeat dragons—maybe this time the Linglongguan family can really lift that legendary Holy Grail." The head of Linglongguan looked at his youngest daughter with a complicated expression.

Although he initially found it hard to accept, he adapted very quickly after accepting the facts and began to regard the Holy Grail as a goal he had to obtain.

As a veteran magician, I naturally know how dangerous it is for magicians to fight each other.

If he could, he would like to take his daughter's place in the competition. Although he did not place any hope in the Holy Grail at first, now that he has entered the competition, the head of the Reiko House cannot help but have a hope in his heart—perhaps—like the three starter families of Fuyuki City had hoped, the Holy Grail can really help people realize their long-cherished wish to reach the Root?

A man who is determined to restore his family's glory and also pursues the truth of magic is bound to have that kind of desire.

This is a man who looks a lot like Tokiomi Tohsaka from next door, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen Caster, who shares the same ideals in the world of magic, as his summoning object.
