It's normal for an evil god to raise an Abyss.

"Although I didn't get the help of the thought key pattern, I am satisfied. The formula for this victory has been determined~"

Xueyue declared.

Chapter 5 A Clumsy Farce

As the last rays of sunset faded on the horizon, night fell as expected, marking the beginning of the Holy Grail War.

Kotomine Kirei, wearing a monk's robe, looked into the distance and gave an order:

"Assassin, there is no need to be overly cautious when infiltrating the Tōsaka family. Even if you come face to face with Archer, don't worry. You must eliminate Tōsaka Tokiomi quickly."

The servant behind him, who was wrapped in black and had a white skull mask on his face, responded and disappeared on the spot like a shadow.

No one told this poor guy that his action today was just a "one-way ticket".

One of the two luxurious and magnificent mansions on the mountain in Fuyuki City is the residence of the master of the Tōsaka family. On weekdays, dozens of barriers are set up for the purpose of defense and reconnaissance. It can be said to be an impregnable fortress for magicians.

Assassin's aura blocking ability is just what he needs to sneak into this fortress. As a Servant, Assassin also knew that Kotomine Kirei and Tōsaka Tokiomi had secretly formed an alliance without telling anyone else. Having served as a guard for the Tōsaka family, Assassin is well aware of the blind spots of the barrier set up by the Tōsaka family.

The two people who originally trusted each other turned against each other, and now Tokiomi was about to be stabbed in the back by his most trusted subordinate. Assassin couldn't help but laugh at Tokiomi's ridiculous and tragic fate in his heart.

Like a circus performer, Assassin used difficult moves to avoid all the barriers and finally reached the last barrier. As long as he reached out and destroyed the one seal point, there would be no more obstacles to this assassination.

Assassin snickered and stretched out his hand upwards.

The next moment, a spear shining with light pierced through the back of his hand and nailed it to the ground.

"?!"

Assassin raised his head, feeling the sharp pain, as well as the incomparable shock and fear, to look for the source of the attack.

The source of the attack was obvious, or perhaps the other party had no intention of hiding their whereabouts. On the roof was a golden figure that dimmed the entire night sky.

"Ant lying on the ground, who allowed you to raise your head?" the dazzling figure asked with contempt, "Ants should behave like ants. Just lower your head and die."

Several golden ripples appeared in the space around the figure, and various gorgeous weapons appeared from them, all pointing at the Assassin who was crawling on the ground.

This guy can't possibly win...

This was Assassin's last thought, and then there was the roar of countless treasures piercing his body.

-------------------------------------

Xueyue's residence.

"Still as glittering as ever, the King of Uruk."

Xueyue sighed as she watched the real-time images transmitted back by "Shadow".

Unlike familiars, Xueyue can directly gather intelligence through the power of shadows. Although it requires the arrangement of special shadows in advance, it is much better than familiars that can hardly be hidden. After all, shadows are everywhere.

"Your Majesty, your milk tea." The Shoggoth maid dressed in a standard maid outfit brought a cup of milk tea to Bubble.

"Xiu-chan, I want one too~" Xueyue raised her hand.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The Shoggoth maid responded respectfully.

"That Assassin, is he leaving the stage just like that? It feels a bit hasty." Abigail also saw the video shared by Xueyue, and even she noticed something was wrong.

"Very sharp observation. This is just a play between the two superficial master and apprentice, Tohsaka Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei. This Assassin is indeed dead. This is a mindset that makes others let down their guard, but no one has ever stipulated that there can only be one Assassin~"

Assassin's real identity is Hassan of a Hundred Faces. He can disperse his soul into multiple heroic spirits and exist in the world, up to 80 people. The remaining Hassan should continue to monitor the others in the dark and wait for the right time to take advantage of the opportunity.

Xueyue, who has read the original novel, naturally regarded what happened tonight as a farce. Judging from the current development, there does not seem to be much deviation.

"Abby, accompany me to the streets tomorrow. We should make some preparations~"

"Are we preparing for battle, Ma... No, Sister Xueyue?" Abigail's expression became serious.

"Not entirely. We should go to the port tomorrow night to 'see the world', but before that, we still have to buy some more casual clothes for Abi, otherwise she will be too conspicuous~"

There was a hint of unquestionableness in Xueyue's tone.

(Here it comes again. This time it’s finally not me who is being tormented by the costume change~)

Bubble drank milk tea, secretly delighted with the attitude of watching the fun.

Real name: Yog-Sothoth/Tavier Yat-Umr

Although Yog-Sothoth does not have the ability to forcibly unify all things under different worldviews, he still has the power to interfere with all rules. It is better to say that Yog-Sothoth is the rule itself.

[Time and Space Ruler] EX

Ability to easily see everything that happens in the past, present, and future on all world lines (usually in a self-closed state), and the ability to manipulate time and space at will.

[Original Wisdom] EX

Rather than saying that Yog-Sothoth knows all knowledge, it is better to say that He is knowledge itself. He can use any magic and sorcery He wants at will, and is immune to almost all magic and sorcery.

【Mental Pollution】EX

Normally it is in a self-deactivating state. Once activated, it can easily cause the fragile common sense of human beings to collapse and fall into madness, and the range is enough to cover the entire planet.

A Noble Phantasm that opens the door to the outer realm and guides the Outer Gods and the Great Old Ones within it into this world, but it is generally not necessary to activate it.

[Singularity of the Rift] EX

Type: Anti-galaxy weapon

Use the power of the law to completely erase the object, and it will no longer exist in all world lines (including records, memories, etc.), and it will be regarded as complete annihilation. The minimum scope can be limited to a single person, and the maximum scope can be expanded to the universe. (It seems that the reverse operation can be used to save some things?)

-------------------------------------

Xueyue: Hey, hey, this is totally a foul, this looks like a random and irrefutable panel... Where's my inhibitions, help me!

Bubble: Oh, you mean the two lolis, one black and one white? When we arrived, they hid near the source. Don't worry, there are hot springs to soak in. I'm not interested in blowing this place up.

Xueyue: I hope the Earth is alright. (Put your hands together)

Chapter 6: The Eve of the Battle

The Fuyuki Church, located on a small hill on the outskirts of Fuyuki City's Shinto, welcomed the visitors as promised tonight.

"According to the rules of the Holy Grail War, Kotomine Kirei requests the Holy Church to protect my personal safety."

"I accept the responsibility of supervising this war. I, Yan Fengli, will guarantee your safety. Please come inside."

This was too hypocritical for the two who had already discussed it, but in order to conceal their tracks, they still pretended at the door of the church. Kotomine Ri was pretending to be a fair supervisor, leading his son, who was disguised as a defeated magician, into the church.

(Xueyue: But judging from the two Holy Grail Wars, the church cannot be said to be completely safe. It can only be said to be full of dangers. This is where murders are most likely to occur.)

"Is everything going according to plan?"

It was not until they reached the priest's room at the deepest part of the church that Father Risei ended his acting and put on a face that showed he understood everything.

"Nothing went wrong."

Kotomine Kirei answered, and then gave a command to the air in a cold tone,

"Just in case, we should arrange for someone to be on guard here."

"Yes."

From the shadows in the corner of the room, a woman in black wearing a skull mask emerged. Without a doubt, this was the real Assassin.

"The familiars present at the scene where Assassin was killed were of at least four types, judging by their spiritual power. This means that at least four Masters witnessed the situation at that time."

"Um……"

Kotomine Kirei listened to the Servant's report, narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked his father,

"Father, there must be something wrong with the spirit disk, right? Are all seven Servants confirmed to have appeared?"

"This cannot be wrong. The last one, Caster, has also been summoned. Although his real name is still unknown like before, all the Servants of this Holy Grail War should have appeared."

Listening to his father's firm tone, Kotomine Kirei fell into thought again.

As the residence of the three great families, it should be a place that all masters would pay attention to and arrange familiars to monitor. As for the missing master, did he really not even make this preparation, or... does he have other means?

"Losing one individual doesn't have much impact on us overall, but we hope that his sacrifice should not be in vain."

Assassin spoke, his tone calm and respectful, but still revealing a hint of dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Don't worry, it certainly won't be meaningless. It is precisely because of his sacrifice that the rest of you can perfectly deceive the other Masters. In this way, you can become the ultimate killer move that should not exist. For you assassins, this brings a huge advantage."

"Yes, it is true." The woman in black replied with her head down.

"Anyway, the Holy Grail War has begun!"

Father Risei's dignified voice was filled with an unshakable expectation for victory.

"It has finally begun. The Fourth Holy Grail War has begun. With my old bones, I can finally witness a miracle happen with my own eyes!"

"..." Kotomine Kirei was not affected by his father's emotions at all, and just looked silently into the darkness.

-------------------------------------

"Sister Xue, did you buy too much?"

"I don't think so. These are just some necessities of life, plus a few sets of clothes."

The next day, Xueyue dragged Abigail out for shopping. After half a day of shopping, they came back with a lot of gains:

Xueyue was in the front, carrying several bags in both hands, while Abigail, who was following behind, was holding things that formed a small mountain, even higher than Abigail's head. The large amount of supplies formed a somewhat funny contrast with Abigail's petite figure.

"what!"

Because her vision was blocked, Abigail tripped on the steps at the entrance as soon as she entered the room. Although she quickly steadied herself, the items in her hands inevitably flew forward due to inertia.

Snapped!

Bubble snapped her fingers lightly, and the flying supplies stacked up quietly beside her.

"This really shocked me. You are not going to empty the mall, are you?"
