You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

Perhaps it's because evil gods should favor evil people. After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka is undoubtedly an unprecedented and unparalleled villain, born from the cradle called Chaldea, a product of the karma of countless world lines!

Therefore, it is only natural that the most wicked evil god would favor it.

No one can save Fujimaru Ritsuka!

Because the story was destined to end, something no one could stop, not even Angola Mainyu. Fujimaru Ritsuka was a Sisyphus making hopeless efforts from the very beginning; her future was destined to be dark.

—In that case, let him be the one to put a period to Ritsuka's story.

Many people in Chaldea must have had this thought, right?

Seeing their Master grow more and more desperate each day, and seeing the girl who has completely lost her original appearance, they must also want to end all of this.

But they couldn't do it. Whether they were world-renowned heroes, beasts born from human evil, or intelligent beings descended from the heavens, they all loved Fujimaru Ritsuka so deeply that they couldn't stop her from destroying herself!

The heroic spirits couldn't do such cruel things.

But Angolan Manuel took concrete action!

He wants to create a world where Fujimaru Ritsuka can be happy!

If the story of Chaldea is destined to end anyway, then let's erase its existence from Ritsuka's life.

The Avesta in his hand records everything, completely sealing off the world line where Chaldea is located. As long as everything that happens in the singularities and Lostbelts is formatted, including the bonds formed between Fujimaru Ritsuka and the many Servants...

Reset everything back to its original state, create a world where neither Chaldea nor the Burning of Humanity exists, and where Fujimaru Ritsuka can feel happy and fulfilled!

She wouldn't even know what human reasoning is, she would be born like an ordinary human being, marry and have children like an ordinary human being, grow old like an ordinary human being, and then end her life in the warm afternoon sun.

As for what would happen to Chaldea without Fujimaru Ritsuka, Angra Mainyu didn't care.

The biggest obstacle to this plan, unexpectedly, was Fujimaru Ritsuka herself.

Using Avesta and Mooncell, Angra Mainyu has formatted Ritsuka's memories of everything in several simulated worlds, attempting to reset her soul to her high school days... but no matter what he does, he can't completely erase them, and the consciousness of the "savior" always reappears.

Of course, Angolan Manuel believed that as long as he continued, he would eventually achieve his goal and bring Ritsuka's story to a perfect end.

And if someone tries to stop him, that's someone he must eliminate!

"No matter who you are, even if you are a creature from another planet, as long as you are a malevolent being, you can never be my match!"

After knocking Iori away, the Avenger casually placed the ancient book in front of him and opened it: "[Avesta, the Copy of All Things Recorded]!"

The pages moved without wind, and a series of symbols flew out, transforming into black longswords that seemed to reflect the starry sky under the condensation of magic, with countless silver sands shimmering within them.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

A sharp blade sliced ​​through the starry sky, aiming for Iori. The man swung his sword to deflect it, but it only spun once before flying back, as persistent as a vicious venomous snake.

laugh!

The longsword ignored the Crimson Dragon Armor's defenses and pierced straight in, but Iori didn't feel any pain; she just suddenly felt heavy on her body.

"This is……"

"It's the effect of [Avesta]."

BB's doll appeared on Iori's shoulder at some point and whispered in his ear, "As the supreme scripture of the Zoroastrian Church, the Avesta is said to record all changes in the past and future. It is the ultimate grimoire. Once something is recorded by it, it will be forcibly incorporated into the Zoroastrian Church's worldview."

It is a system that divides all things into two opposing sides, 'good' and 'evil', and there are also legends about 'being able to return the damage suffered many times over'.

As the pinnacle of 'evil,' Angolan Mainyu is invincible in his own worldview!

"Besides these, is there any other useful intelligence? Like his weaknesses or something!"

"I can't find it for now... but don't worry, BB-chan will summon the strongest support to create an opening for you at the crucial moment. You just need to seize the opportunity. If we work together, we will definitely overcome this difficulty!"

"Really?"

"Everyone knows that I, BB-chan, am the most reliable person and would never betray anyone~"

I don't play FGO much, so don't lie to me!

—Iori's face tightened.

"In this way, your spirit origin will also be recorded by [Avesta], and no matter what kind of attack you use, it will be returned to you twice over."

The Avenger gazed confidently at Iori: "No malicious attack can kill me, and no matter what kind of Noble Phantasm you use, it will end up on yourself... Honestly, I suggest you just give up."

I have no ill will towards you personally. Since you're not a resident of Chaldea anyway, why not just leave this world?

"...This is really troublesome."

Iori shook her head, seemingly troubled by the same thing.

"In terms of sheer energy scale, you can't compare to a mature beast like Goetia, but this kind of shameless ability is... to put it bluntly, it's practically 'invincible'."

"—!"

That feeling again! That uneasy feeling!

The Avenger frowned, his eyes suddenly turning cold: "I don't know what you're planning, but you've missed your chance!"

Perhaps not wanting to experience the same accident again, Angra Mainyu opened the ancient book once more, and a series of incantations flew out and disappeared into the void. Immediately afterwards, a being that was only a little over ten meters tall, but whose aura was comparable to that of the gods, descended from the starry sky.

That was a three-headed dragon, covered in tattoos, exuding an aura of endless evil!

It was much smaller than the many demons that had just been summoned, but it made Iori feel a deadly threat as soon as it appeared!

"Could it be that……"

"My minions, my shadows, devour your master's enemies!"

"Roar!"

"hold head high!"

"Roar!"

Like a furnace containing the heavens and earth, terrifying flames surged in the dragon's mouth!

Legend has it that Angra Mainyu had a three-headed dragon under his command, a creature that had fallen from human form, whose breath could destroy a third of the world.

Amidst a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the flames compressed to their limit within the three-headed dragon's massive maw suddenly burst forth!

A true Anti-World Noble Phantasm!

Must go all out!

If this attack can't be blocked...

Just as Iori mobilized all his magical power, even igniting his Crimson Dragon Armor, in preparation for a desperate fight—

suddenly!

A pure white flash pierced the darkness, and the unfolded body released swaying flames, like waves rippling in the universe. It seemed gentle but had unimaginable resilience, and could even block the flames of the three-headed dragon.

Iori had never seen such a beautiful creature before...

With pure white and fluffy fur, trailing behind it a deep blue starry sky, the reflections of countless stars shimmering within, its slender body moving with elegant and light steps, calmly dealing with the demonic flames powerful enough to burn down the continent.

Although it was the first time they had met, a name inexplicably flashed through Iori's mind.

Fufu!

It's not the cute pet in the game, but the White Beast that has grown up!

"Gaia's dog... It hasn't appeared for a long time. Is it trying to salvage some good memories now that it has shown up?"

Indeed, having you as an opponent would be more troublesome.

Angra Mainyu, disguised as Fujimaru Ritsuka, looked at Fou with cold indifference.

"I couldn't do anything about you while you were hiding, but since you've come out on your own initiative... let's record this again, [Avesta]!"

"BB-chan is about to unleash her full power!"

The doll jumped into the air, and the zipper on its body opened automatically, pulling out two items that landed in front of Iori: a card with the image of Archer and a magnificent crimson longbow.

"Mr. Berserker, I'm counting on you from now on~"

"...Just as I thought!"

In an instant, Iori recognized the origin of the longbow and grabbed it without thinking. At the same time, Archer and Saber's cards flew out and turned into golden light, merging into his body.

"Limited Expansion—"

Flames raged on the surface of the longbow, and a crimson longsword of the same style was placed on it, transforming into an even longer and sharper arrow as the bowstring was drawn back.

In Hindu mythology, Princess Sita's dowry included a longbow used by Shiva, and whoever could draw it would become Sita's husband. Countless heroes and warriors failed to bear the weight of this destiny, but only Rama, the reincarnation of the Trinity, used his divine power to draw it!

What is now blooming in Iori's hands is Archer Sita's Shiva Bow, and resting on it is Vishnu's Blade, which was born at the same time as Rama!

The Holy Grail! The Heart of Surtur!

The divine object that countless magicians would flock to was transformed into pure magical power by Iori as a consumable, and burned completely in just a few seconds!

"This is the indestructible essence that permeates the Rakshasa—"

Across the void, Iori, the three-headed dragon and primate killer, aimed his indestructible blade at the embodiment of all evil in this world.

At that moment, the flames ignited everything around him, and the space itself turned into matter and burned fiercely. The blazing flames surrounded him, and from a distance, it looked like a vertical pupil opening in the void!

"Fall!"

hum!

The arrow, transformed from the longsword, instantly dissolved into pure light by the immense magical power it possessed the moment it left the bowstring, vanishing into the darkness in an instant. When it reappeared, it was already standing before Angra Mainyu.

boom! ! !

The tiny beam of light unleashed unimaginable power, and the pillar of light, reaching to the heavens and earth and seemingly piercing through the universe, completely engulfed the head of the evil gods!

"Ugh... Ah!"

A long, narrow, dark shadow appeared in the beam of light. Angra Mainyu tore the light barrier apart with his hand, as if the energy had a physical form. He angrily struggled to crawl out of the shattered space, and his damaged body was rapidly repairing itself.

"Don't you understand?! Attacks are ineffective against me!"

Even if it's a Noble Phantasm aimed at demons and evil gods... any attack is bound to be malicious, so how could it possibly destroy me, who is absolute evil!

I've changed my mind. I'm going to take you down—"

As the book "Avesta" unfolded, just before the Avenger uttered the true name of the Noble Phantasm, illusory light and shadow floated around him, and a girl's hand pressed down on his right hand as he turned the pages.

"Well!"

The Avenger's pupils suddenly contracted: "Ritsuka—"

In that split second, the best chance to counterattack was missed. After the pages fell, Angolan Manuel saw Iori drawing his bow and nocking an arrow once again through the void.

call out!

There was no time to react. This arrow was faster and more accurate than before, as if there was no intermediate process. It hit the target the moment it was shot.

Just like the lance used by Odin, the king of the gods...

puff!

The emerald arrow pierced the Avenger's chest—and this time, the wound did not heal.

"This is?"

Angolan Mainyu looked down at the scene in disbelief. He suddenly realized that it was not an arrow made of metal, but a green branch engraved with runes, full of vitality, but seemingly harmless!

"how do you……"

"The items obtained from the main quest are often useful... It's a real shame, I was hoping to keep this one for good luck."

Iori felt a wave of exhaustion, not because her body, created by the Third Law, was severely damaged, but because she had exhausted too much of her mental energy from those two arrows.

"You say the attack is ineffective against you... but this is neither an attack nor malicious, yet it can still bring death..."

In Norse mythology, Baldr, the god of light, is blessed by all things in the world and is never harmed. However, mistletoe is overlooked because it is too weak. Later, Loki, the god of deception, tricked Hodr, the god of darkness, into throwing mistletoe at Baldr. Although it was meant to be a blessing, it accidentally killed him, thus setting the stage for Ragnarok.

This arrow carried no malice, but was a pure blessing, only bearing the mark of the god of 'death'!

"Mistletoe (Misstine), the mistletoe that kills light... I never knew it could be used like this!"

The Avenger glanced at the emerald green arrow with a half-smile, and dark lines extended from the wound, quickly spreading all over her body.

Then, she looked at Iori with a mixture of emotion and regret, as if she wanted to say something, but when she remembered the girl's hand shadow that had appeared earlier, she fell silent.

“I understand something… Your ability to get all the way here and to have collected the Noble Phantasm that can harm me… This is not a pure coincidence.”

Even your summoning here has its own inherent cause and effect... Perhaps, I was wrong from the very beginning.

The Avenger paused for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Ritsuka... she knew of my existence, and even foresaw my attack on Chaldea... It wasn't that she was powerless to resist, but rather that she allowed my actions to continue, and then she summoned you to end it all..."
