The world I hear is completely different from yours.

Moreover, Ameharu's goal in becoming a teacher at the school was not for Rin Tohsaka at all, but to investigate the school's underground spiritual veins.

Dongmu City, as a confluence of spiritual veins, possesses many major spiritual vein nodes. This is why the three major families originally decided to draw a magic circle here to summon the Holy Grail. Therefore, by conducting on-site investigations of these spiritual vein nodes, the exact location of the large underground magic circle can be deduced.

This is why Tianqing released Sora and Lancer and formed an alliance with them. As the price for sparing their lives, Tianqing only required Sora to do two things: first, Sora had to hand over all the information about the magic circle to Tianqing; second, Sora had to immediately contact her minister father and attach the comic book material describing the plot.

"Sora truly lives up to her reputation as the daughter of the Clock Tower Minister. Although she is not the rightful heir, she still possesses a wealth of magical knowledge!" Through spending a night together, Tianqing gained a great deal of knowledge about magic from Sora. In addition, by using her listening ability to obtain information from Sora's personal clothing, even though Tianqing still couldn't perform any magic, she managed to grasp most of the basic principles of magic circles. This allowed Tianqing to deduce the exact location of the Grand Magic Circle that summons the Holy Grail by conducting on-site investigations of the specific leyline nodes in Fuyuki City.

Yes, from the very beginning of participating in the Holy Grail War, Ame no Shizuka's goal was not the corrupted Holy Grail, but the vast magical power stored in the underground magic circle!

"Before, I never had a suitable opportunity, so I only used the Demon Egg's time-traveling ability to travel through time and space. But now that I've arrived in the Type-Moon world with so many powerful beings, I naturally want to seize this opportunity to do something big!" Tianqing thought to himself, looking at the Demon Egg on the back of his hand. "I suppose the vast magical power in the magic circle should be enough to hatch the Demon Egg in my hand, right? But to deal with the guy that hatches from the Demon Egg, I'll need a whole bunch of powerful henchmen!"

This was the second thing Tianqing asked Sora to do: send the manga information describing the plot to Sora's father, the minister, so that the inside story of the Holy Grail War could be completely exposed to all magicians! Only in this way could all the powerful figures in the Type-Moon world be attracted to Fuyuki City.

"I imagine that once the bigwigs of the mainstream magic associations learn the inside story of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, they'll all flock here, right? After all, this Holy Grail isn't fake; it's the real 'Root' that all magicians dream of!" Ame thought smugly.

This is Tianqing's plan: first, to search for the spiritual veins in various parts of Fuyuki City to find the underground grand magic circle; then, to use the magic power of the underground grand magic circle to hatch the demon egg; and finally, to use the powerful people attracted by the Holy Grail as free henchmen to deal with the creatures hatched from the demon egg!

Of course, once the magic power of the underground magic circle was completely absorbed by the demon egg, it became powerless to summon the Holy Grail, rendering the current Holy Grail War meaningless.

The lucky one who wins the Holy Grail War must have a terrible look on his face when he finds out that all his scheming has come to nothing after going through countless life-and-death battles and fighting bloody battles. Tian Qing thought to himself with a rather wicked sense of humor.

"Your Majesty, you're smiling very wickedly right now!" Rong Momo said eerily from the shadows.

.......................

As dusk fell, Gilgamesh, dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, casually strolled out of the Tohsaka family's stronghold. Of course, he did so without informing anyone; after all, as king, why should he need to report his whereabouts to his subjects?

Looking at Fuyuki City in the twilight, Gilgamesh seemed to remember something, revealing a contemptuous smile. He then leaped onto a telephone pole and began rummaging through his treasure vault.

"Gate of the King's Treasure * The Great Horn Used by the Kings of Babylon!!"

Suddenly, Gilgamesh's extremely chuunibyou-ish voice echoed in the sky above Fuyuki City!

"Hahahaha! As expected, I am the strongest! Knight King, Conqueror King, you two scum, did you hear that? Tonight, at the same old place, I will be waiting for you there to have a proper discussion about what the true meaning of being a king is!!!"

In the story, there was once a banquet among the Heroic Spirits: Saber King Artoria, Rider King Alexander the Great, and Archer King Gilgamesh. These three kings debated the true meaning of being a king, so this banquet was also known as the "Feast of the Three Kings".

Now, Gilgamesh only wants to hold another "Feast of the Three Kings" to take the opportunity to mock the other two defeated kings!

Chapter Seventeen: The Magical Girl's Vibrator and Fratricide

Gilgamesh's voice, amplified by his Noble Phantasm's loudspeaker, resounded throughout Fuyuki City, penetrating the barriers surrounding the mage's stronghold and reaching the ears of every Master and Servant!

"Using a Noble Phantasm just to extend an invitation to other kings?" Tokiomi Tohsaka covered his face in exasperation, speechless at his own Heroic Spirit's willful and reckless behavior.

Meanwhile, Kirei Kotomine, standing to the side, helplessly covered his face, distressed about the cleanup work he was about to be responsible for. As a priest of the Holy Church, he had to cover up the traces of the Holy Grail War and prevent mystery and magic from being exposed to the general public.

But this time the traces are too difficult to deal with! The previous building explosion could be handled by using various brainwashing suggestions to modify the memories of the witnesses, since not many people were affected and the cleanup work could be barely completed; but this time, everyone in Fuyuki City heard it, where will the Holy Church find so many people to brainwash all the citizens of Fuyuki!

"Or should we just broadcast an announcement on TV saying that due to the weather, all the citizens of Fuyuki are experiencing hysteria and hallucinations, which is why they heard the same voice?" Kirei Kotomine thought recklessly. As for whether the citizens would believe it, well, believe it or not! The Church doesn't have a customer service rating system like Taobao. Go ahead and complain to the Pope in the Vatican if you dare!

..............................

Inside Einz Castle, Kiritsugu Emiya picked up his heavy sniper rifle. "This is a golden opportunity! Tonight, I will end this Holy Grail War once and for all!!"

Then he turned to his assistant and mistress: "Kuyu Maimi, are you ready?"

Hisayu Maiya quietly loaded the Origin Bullet into the heavy sniper rifle and nodded silently.

“Very good! Let’s go!” Kiritsugu Emiya stood up, then noticed the worried look in his wife’s eyes, and quickly forced a smile: “Don’t worry, didn’t the King of Heroes send Saber to that ‘Three Kings’ Banquet’? In other words, the three strongest Servants didn’t participate in the battle tonight, so this can be considered a great opportunity to kill the Master! Later, show Saber all those story manga, and then let her go to the banquet alone, just make sure she doesn’t notice our actions!”

............................

In a library in Fuyuki City, Waver, who has a rather effeminate appearance and could easily be mistaken for a woman, looks worriedly at the tall, muscular man in front of him. That man is his Heroic Spirit, Alexander the Great, the Rider.

At this moment, Alexander the Great, the Conqueror, was flipping through the comic book in his hand with great interest, completely unconcerned about his final defeat. Instead, he was in the mood to tease his Master: "Master, I didn't expect you to finally mature after growing up! You call yourself El-Melloi II, become the monarch of the Clock Tower, and are also the magician who will dismantle the Holy Grail and completely end the Holy Grail War in the future. As expected, you can do it if you try hard enough!"

"Whether that kind of thing will actually happen is another matter entirely. Even if it does, it's a future possibility and has nothing to do with me right now. Right now, I'm still just a third-rate magician with hardly any magic power!" Waver said with a troubled expression. "The magic power I provide is simply not enough to support your combat stamina! Even so, are you still going to attend that banquet?"

"Of course we'll go!" Alexander the Great grinned heartily. "A true man doesn't give up because of one failure!"

.......................

In a secluded corner of Fuyuki City, Matou Kariya, who was jogging, stopped and listened with interest to the sound from the sky: "The banquet of the three kings? I imagine all the Masters and Servants will go to see it after hearing this news, right? In that case, this is a great opportunity to win the Holy Grail War!"

Huff! Huff! Sakura Matou, following behind, was panting heavily, her face flushed red. Partly, it was because she hadn't run so vigorously in a long time; partly, it was because of embarrassment—just moments ago, Uncle Kariya, dressed as a magical girl, had led her through the streets in a frenzy, running all the way here!

"By now, the news of me running with that cross-dressing pervert must have spread throughout Fuyuki City by now," Matou Sakura thought shamefully.

Perhaps having heard Matou Sakura's thoughts, Matou Kariya, dressed in a magical girl outfit, struck a cute and energetic pose: "Don't worry, to prevent the other Masters from discovering us, I've already added a little illusion magic to our bodies to cover our tracks~(≧▽≦)/~! In the eyes of those passersby, they'll only see two bears in clothes running around, okay?(^?^*)!"

The girlish tone and cute gestures would be perfect if they were delivered by a cute girl dressed as a magical girl, right? Matou Sakura thought to herself. It's a pity that Uncle Matou Kariya is a man. This is probably what they call "born in the wrong gender".

"Uncle Kariya, are you really still going to participate in the battle?" Matou Sakura asked weakly. No matter how terrible Matou Kariya's behavior was, he was the only person who had been kind to her these past few days, so Matou Sakura didn't want him to leave and never return.

"Of course I'm going!" Matou Kariya glanced subconsciously at the God Watch on his wrist. "This time, I'm going to shatter her dream of leveling up completely! That bitch dared to replace my favorite wand with a vibrator when I wasn't looking! The next day, when the magical girls were fighting, all the other magical girls pulled out all sorts of wands, but I pulled out a thick, long vibrator from my backpack..."

............................

Achoo! Fujimura Taiga suddenly sneezed, rubbing his nose with a bewildered look. "Strange, how did I suddenly catch a cold? Is someone cursing me?"

Then, Fujimura Taiga glanced at the God Watch on his wrist with great displeasure: "How many times is that neurotic magical girl going to interfere with my upgrade assessment? This is my fourth time applying to advance to a four-star Reincarnator! I didn't expect her to go to such lengths to hinder me every time. She was the one who mocked me for not having a boyfriend, so I retaliated against her!"

"How about we take advantage of this Three Kings Banquet and just get rid of this troublesome lunatic?" Fujimura Taiga thought seriously. "Anyway, Master didn't forbid us from killing each other during missions. Killing this murderous junior sister would be like cleaning up Master's mess! We can always resurrect her as an undead later!"

Chapter Eighteen: The Demon Born from the Demon's Egg

At night, Gilgamesh stood smugly in the courtyard, exuding an air of "I'm the best, everyone else is trash," completely disregarding the figures lurking in the shadows around him. At that moment, only two people were in his sight: the Knight King Saber, slowly approaching from afar, and Alexander the Great, the Conqueror, speeding through the sky in his divine ox-chariot!

The second banquet of the three kings has begun! A war of words and debates is about to unfold!

While the three kings were arguing heatedly, Tian Qing was walking alone in a cave deep underground.

"It's absolutely pitch black here!" Tian Qing said, carrying a large searchlight that illuminated the uneven road ahead. However, even this large, engineering-grade searchlight could only illuminate a small part of the huge underground cavern; the rest remained shrouded in deep darkness.

"Could it be that the magicians of those three great families completed the construction of the grand magic circle in this complete darkness? Weren't they afraid of misreading the blueprints and making construction errors?" Tianqing wondered, quite bored. After this period of exploration, Tianqing finally found the grand magic circle located beneath Ryudouji Temple on Mount Enzo in Fuyuki City, and prepared to implement the first step of her plan.

In the original work, after discovering the corruption of the Holy Grail, Kiritsugu Emiya, the victor of this Holy Grail War, went to great lengths to find this place. He even set up a large amount of explosives in this cave in an attempt to destroy the Grand Magic Circle and completely end the Holy Grail War, but in the end, he failed.

After walking for a long time on that rugged and damp road, a huge altar finally appeared before Tian Qing's eyes.

"Found it!!" Tian Qing's eyes lit up, and she quickly went up. It was a huge altar covered with countless incantations, its area even larger than a football field. In the center of the altar, a woman knelt and prayed. She was the former head of the Einzbern family, one of the three great magicians who created the Greater Grail Magic Circle, known as the "Winter Saintess." In order for the Greater Grail Magic Circle to function, this "Winter Saintess" willingly became the hearth of the altar, suppressing it here alone.

"Tsk tsk! What a pity about this beautiful girl!" Tian Qing looked at the beautiful saintess and couldn't help but sigh: "As a family of homunculus created by the disciples of mages, the Einzbern family is born with the mission of seeking the 'Root'. Therefore, the heads of the family in each generation have spared no effort for this purpose. No wonder the Einzbern family has always been the most fond of cheating in the Holy Grail Wars!"

"It's a pity there are no victors in this Holy Grail War!" Tian Qing said softly, taking the Demon Egg from the back of her hand and placing it on the altar: "Demon Egg, now remove the absorption restriction and begin hatching!!"

Instantly, as if a huge hole with infinite capacity had appeared at the bottom of an ocean, the vast ocean of magic stored in this giant altar began to surge into the demon egg. The demon egg, which had been shriveled up due to the depletion of energy from the transmigration, quickly became plump, as if it had transformed from a skinny skeleton into a sumo wrestler the size of a mountain of flesh in an instant!

Then, the demon egg, with its unusually rosy complexion, began to slowly grow larger, and the many eyes on its surface began to dart around, as if the creature inside the egg was simultaneously observing the world with many eyes.

"Success!" Tian Qing smiled slightly, then turned and ran without hesitation! "Now we just need to see when those powerful figures from the Type-Moon world will arrive! I think the information I released through Sora should be enough to attract them to come here as soon as possible!"

In that brief instant, the demon egg, originally the size of an egg, had expanded to the size of a soccer ball. Many different faces began to appear on the surface of the egg, each with a different expression of laughter, anger, and curses. At the same time, the entire egg began to wriggle, as if it were a living heart constantly contracting.

The first to notice the anomaly were the Masters of those Heroic Spirits.

Sora, Kiritsugu Emiya, Tokiomi Tohsaka, and the others almost simultaneously trembled, feeling a significant increase in the consumption of magical energy within their bodies!

"What's going on?! Why has the mana required to maintain a Heroic Spirit suddenly increased by so much?!"

As powerful beings who have made a pact with the world's consciousness, Heroic Spirits are essentially its henchmen. To bring such powerful beings from the Hall of Heroes to life, a vast amount of magical energy is required. Most of this magical energy is provided by the Greater Grail Magic Circle, with only a small portion supplied by the Master Magician; otherwise, the Heroic Spirit's terrifying magical energy consumption would completely drain a magician in a short period.

In the original work, only Ilya, who is the Lesser Grail, was able to maintain the existence of the Heroic Spirits solely with his own magical power without the support of a Grand Magic Circle, which shows how much magical power the Heroic Spirits consume!

At the same time, Matou Kariya and Fujimura Taiga stared blankly at the God Watches on their hands, their expressions changing drastically!

"Warning! A major plot change has occurred in this mission world, and the mission level has been adjusted to S-rank! Reincarnators are required to immediately proceed to stop this change and prevent unforeseen alterations! Violators will be annihilated!!" Matou Kariya read out the mission just refreshed by the main god, his face ashen: "What on earth is going on with this mission world? How did it suddenly become an S-rank high-level mission world? How could a three-star reincarnator like us possibly handle such a high-level mission?!"

Within that deep cave, the demon egg continued its frenzied devouring of the magic power within the magic circle. Finally, after completely draining the immense magic power stored within the grand magic circle for 60 years, the demon egg had transformed into a gigantic cocoon taller than a person. It then slowly cracked open, revealing the creature within.

It was a girl who looked exactly like Tian Qing, except that she had a pair of long horns on her forehead that were unique to demons, and she stared at the world in front of her with her blood-red eyes, full of murderous intent!

"The demon eggs have hatched!" Tian Qing quickly activated Rong Momo's Dark Room ability and hid in the shadows. "After each demon egg hatches, the creature inside will subconsciously evolve based on its master's appearance and possess abilities similar to its master! Fortunately, she can't copy the abilities of Heroic Spirits!"

The next moment, a colossal, crimson-red warrior appeared behind the demon Tianqing!

Chapter Nineteen: Demon Replicas

Amidst the indistinct roar of the demon Tianqing, the red colossus swung its fist across the entire cave! The colossus's thick arm rapidly extended before slamming heavily against the cave ceiling, the dull thud echoing throughout the cave! Then came another heavy punch, a hundred punches, a thousand punches!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The once-sturdy cave ceiling cracked open with countless fissures under the relentless barrage of punches, sending clouds of dust swirling through the cavern. Finally, after an unknown number of blows, the massive underground cavern collapsed!

The sky collapsed and the earth caved in! Instantly, people on the ground felt a violent earthquake! The entire city of Fuyuki was plunged into chaos!

"This tremor is coming from the direction of Mount Enzo!!" Tokiomi Tohsaka suddenly turned around, his face filled with doubt. As the head of the Tohsaka family, he knew very well that the Grand Magic Circle, which stored a large amount of magical energy to support the entire Holy Grail War and was responsible for summoning the true Holy Grail at the end, was located in the underground cave directly below Ryudouji Temple on Mount Enzo!

Then, to everyone's astonishment, a gigantic pillar of light shot into the sky, emerging straight from the depths of the ground and piercing the heavens, instantly reducing the mountain and Ryudong Temple above to ashes!

"It's the Absolute Gravity Cannon of the Freedom Gundam!!!" Tianqing hid in the shadows, looking at everything in front of him in astonishment: "As expected, even though my Freedom Gundam has self-destructed and been destroyed, it was recorded by the Devil's Egg when I transmigrated, so the current Devil Tianqing can still have a Freedom Gundam exactly like mine! Moreover, judging from the energy fluctuations emitted by the machine, this Devil Replica Gundam is much stronger than my Freedom Gundam!"

With a complex look in Tian Qing's eyes, the demon Tian Qing piloted a red Freedom Gundam and soared into the sky!

"Luckily, I summoned Rong Momo in this world, otherwise I would be endlessly hunted down by her now!" Relying on Rong Momo's ability to hide in the shadows, Tian Qing thought with relief, tearing open a bag of potato chips as she prepared to watch the show. "Once the demon egg hatches, she will start hunting down her master and wreaking havoc on the entire world!"

This is why Tian Qing only used the Demon Egg to travel through time, but didn't dare to further incubate it. She simply wasn't confident she could survive its pursuit. This demon clone, possessing the same appearance as its master, not only copied all of its master's fighting styles but also possessed far greater energy and an extremely powerful physique, allowing it to use all of its master's ultimate techniques without restraint.

Seeing the red Gundam rising from the ground in the distance, Gilgamesh roared in fury, "Scum!! Who gave you permission to disturb my banquet?!"

His answer was yet another beam of light shot out from the red Freedom Gundam! The second Absolute Gravity Cannon!

Boom!! Amidst the enormous explosion, the castle where the king's banquet was held was blasted to smithereens, and raging fire burned wildly in the ruins! Even the Hero King Gilgamesh had to temporarily dodge this cannon shot, not because he couldn't withstand the absolute gravity cannon, but because he was currently unable to use any power at all.

Because the Demon Egg had absorbed all the magic power from the Grand Magic Circle, the circle no longer had enough to supply the Heroic Spirits. Therefore, the magic power consumption of these Servants had to be entirely borne by their Masters. However, the magical power of these Servants in battle was simply too high; even rapid movement was difficult for the Masters to sustain, let alone unleashing their Heroic Spirit abilities in combat. Therefore, even the proud King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, had no choice but to temporarily retreat, completely unable to retaliate!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The demon, Tianqing, was relentless, piloting her red Gundam and firing wildly in all directions! She seemed determined to blast everything in her path to smithereens! Instantly, the entire city of Fuyuki was engulfed in flames.

"How many gravity shots has this already?!" Tian Qing, now in spectator mode, hid in the shadows, munching on potato chips and gulping down a mouthful of cola. "If it were me, I'd be exhausted after just two shots, but this demon clone has already fired so many shots and still doesn't seem tired at all! It's like I have unlimited mana!"

"Scum! How dare you ignore the King's warning like this!" Gilgamesh's eyes widened in anger. As a proud king, how could he have ever been so disregarded? In his extreme rage, he began to draw upon the magical power within his Master without any hesitation, preparing to unleash his Noble Phantasm: Gate of Babylon!

Helpless, Tokiomi Tohsaka felt his magical energy rapidly draining away, and with a wry smile, he raised his hand: "First Command Spell! Great Hero King, please bring us victory!"

In an instant, the Command Seal transformed into an immense amount of pure magic power, surging into Gilgamesh's body! This caused the Heroic Spirit's body, which had previously appeared somewhat dim and ethereal due to insufficient magic power, to suddenly become radiant with golden light, like a god descended to earth!

"Feel the King's wrath! You scum!" With Gilgamesh's declaration, countless Noble Phantasms appeared from the void behind him, raining down on the red Freedom Gundam like a storm! As the oldest Hero King, Gilgamesh's treasury contains countless Noble Phantasm prototypes. Therefore, unlike those Heroic Spirits who only possess a few Noble Phantasms and have to use them cautiously, Gilgamesh's forte is to directly unleash a large number of Noble Phantasms to smash his opponents. This is the fighting style of a tycoon!

"The attack was powerful and looked spectacular, but the accuracy wasn't great!" Tian Qing commented on Gilgamesh's attack from the shadows. "After all, ground combat and aerial combat are two different things. A rain of Noble Phantasms that is hard to avoid in ground combat can be completely avoided in aerial combat by simply increasing the altitude!"

As expected, amidst this barrage of Noble Phantasms, Demon Ame-no-Kage piloted the Red Freedom Gundam and pulled up high into the clouds, dodging Gilgamesh's Wrath of the King.

Then, Devil Sky nimbly leaped out of its mobile suit, while the Red Freedom Gundam burst through the clouds and hurtled down towards Fuyuki City from high above—Kamikaze Self-Destruct Mode!!

Chapter Twenty: The Strongest Hidden Weapon in History
