〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
Watching the Alexander III dissipate, Gilgamesh frowned slightly:
"A Demon God Pillar won't disappear just because it was stabbed by a sword. Now is the perfect time to summon this King!"
The return of Alexander III meant that Fujimaru had lost his means of active offense and urgently needed a main attacker. And what this King lacked least was firepower!
"Even if he were to summon a King, I'm afraid he would only appear in a lily form, just like him..."
Merlin shook his head at this.
Moreover, Lev was right; this brand-new Mystic Code had its flaws. Merlin continued,
"Summoning that consumes one's own flesh and nerves… although it doesn't require a catalyst and allows for multiple summons, but…"
Ishtar added,
"But the cost is too great… and the Spirit Origin won't exist for very long!"
Although only a few Servants had been summoned so far, due to the hastily manufactured, simple summoning Mystic Code, Fujimaru's body was probably already falling apart!
Although they really didn't want to admit it, there was truly no need to summon King Gilgamesh just to fight Lev right now; the cost and the result were completely mismatched.
.....
[ In fact, Lev, having been stabbed, was not feeling well at this moment either. However, before he could make a move, he heard the voice of another Servant from beside him.
"Hell incarnate is the reward for your depravity!" Lancer Class Vlad III revealed a ferocious grin at Lev, blood-red magical energy bursting out around his body.
Immediately following that was the release of his Noble Phantasm.
"KAZIKLI BEY—!"
⦍The Fortress of Impalement⦎
In the blink of an eye, the Archduke's figure also exploded. Blood mixed with magical energy erupted into sharp spikes all over the Demon God Pillar's body, knocking Lev into the air!
Then, strips of pitch-black, invisible hands shot out from the void, firmly grabbing Lev's body!
And in front of Lev, a giant guillotine slowly rose from the ground, the cold light gleaming on its blade, making one shudder.
Lev, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, appeared increasingly manic: "Is this what you call a Noble Phantasm?! Very well, bring it on!"
The next second, accompanied by the falling of the guillotine blade, Lev, who had just been clamoring, was instantly beheaded, and the battlefield quieted down.
"LA MORT ESPOIR—!"
⦍Death is Hope For Tomorrow⦎
"Execution complete…" After whispering this, Sanson, having finished everything…
Also slowly closed his eyes, his whole body emitting a golden light as he dissipated from the place… ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
Watching the scene of heroes exiting one after another, the crowd silently offered thunderous applause. This arduous yet glorious moment was breathtaking!
But what the crowd worried about more was Fujimaru's body. Not only did he summon three Heroic Spirits simultaneously, but he also released three Noble Phantasms right at the start. Could his body still hold up?
.....
〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
"This Noble Phantasm… really fits his identity as the fourth head of the Sanson family, who performed executions in Paris for generations!"
Tohsaka Rin slowly closed the book in her hands, having learned about Charles-Henri Sanson's background. Rather than calling him an Assassin, he seemed more like an executioner.
No wonder she had no impression of him; this level of fame was indeed a bit niche.
Red A silently glanced at Tohsaka Rin holding the book and casually revealed the origin of another Servant:
"The other one is Vlad III, also known as Dracula, the Son of the Dragon… His fame in Romania is no less than that of King Arthur..."
"Wait… are you saying the vampire Dracula?!"
Emiya Shirou was dumbfounded. Even he, who wasn't very familiar with magecraft knowledge, had heard of this title.
Red A said flatly,
"I advise you not to associate vampires with Dracula, otherwise… You will be beaten to death by him."
This wasn't Red A trying to scare Emiya Shirou, but rather that this Archduke's wish as a Servant was to wash away the stigma of the vampire Dracula that had spread throughout the world.
.....
[ Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the battlefield that had calmed down before his eyes, clenching his fists, his voice sounding somewhat low: "Confirmed, Professor Lev has been eliminated."
As soon as the words fell, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt intense discomfort. Perhaps due to the consequences of summoning Servants, his legs went soft, and he fell painfully to his knees on the ground: "Ugh…"
However, misfortunes never come singly. In this gloomy and dark space, the mocking voice of Professor Lev, who should have been dead, was heard again: "Haha, congratulations on achieving victory after using up three trump cards!"
Under the incredulous gazes of everyone, the Demon God Pillar resurrected. Rows of incredibly terrifying giant eyeballs stared right at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash present there!
"But it's useless! Whatever you do is useless… because we are infinite, hahahaha…"
"Alright, show yourselves! My brethren!"
Following Professor Lev's voice, the entire space seemed to squirm, and like a tidal wave, countless Demon God Pillars with giant eyeballs instantly surged out into the space.
"The Demon God Pillars regenerated!" Seeing the scene before her, Mash felt her scalp go numb. Suddenly, as if realizing some terrifying truth: "No, this is…!"
"That's right, we are the space itself! We are the temple itself."
"The 72 Demon Gods are not a title, but a description of our state. In other words, unless you eliminate all 72 brethren, you cannot kill me!" ]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』
"Hiss—"
Even the people outside the video were shocked to the point of numbness by this sudden news. This Final Singularity was far more dangerous than imagined!
"Although he very rudely stated his weakness, it's still incredibly difficult to deal with!"
If that was truly the case, wouldn't Lev really be impossible to completely eliminate?
.....
〜Bleach World〜
"No matter how you look at it, that's too scary!"
Looking at the densely packed giant eyeballs, Kurosaki Ichigo's face was pale, and even his voice was trembling.
Compared to these Demon God Pillars, which were both scary and disgusting existences, the Hollows in their world seemed much cuter.
Looking at the scene before him, Uryu Ishida also felt a depressing atmosphere welling up in his heart:
"It really easily makes one feel despair."
With so many Demon God Pillars added together, how could Mash and Fujimaru fight them alone? The opponent was simply invincible, possessing only a weakness that could hardly be called a weakness.
"Don't talk about despair so easily!"
Kurosaki Ichigo, who had stronger adaptability, had gradually gotten used to the appearance of the Demon God Pillars, and his face returned to normal.
Then he stared earnestly at the figure on the screen:
"Fujimaru Ritsuka is an existence who even passed the most difficult trial of the Primordial Goddess. Believe in him!"
He is humanity's final Master! Shouldering the mission of saving Human History. As long as he still bears these burdens, he won't lose just like that.
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
"You are the space itself? Or the temple itself?"
Gilgamesh seemed to have had some strange switch flipped, the smile on his face becoming increasingly perverted.
"Facing this situation, it should be time to summon this King next!"
After all, you said the weakness yourself! Then don't blame me for not holding back. Isn't this clearly telling the opponent to use an Anti-World Noble Phantasm?
To think someone would have such a strange request? Unfortunately, this King's Ea hasn't come out for a breather in a long time.
"There must be a problem with the nerves in his legs!"
Looking at Fujimaru, who had collapsed from the feedback of the side effects, Merlin frowned slightly.
"Although he has adventured through seven Singularities, this is still too pushing it…"
.....
[ At this time, a series of explosions also came from Dr. Roman back at Chaldea. Giant tentacles had begun to attack their base.
"IT'S AN ATTACK FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DAMAGE RATE OF THE SECOND AGGRESSIVE THEORY HAS EXCEEDED 60%!!"
The entire Chaldea was filled with panicked voices. The sudden attack made the internal staff seem a bit anxious for a moment.
"Calm down." With just one sentence, Dr. Roman calmed the staff down and then ordered, "Cut off the power supply to everything outside the core base!"
"Divert all power from Sheba to the defensive logic and Chaldeas!"
Even though Dr. Roman dealt with the problem immediately, the situation remained unoptimistic.
"Excessive pressure confirmed on the observatory roof! It will collapse in 5 minutes. If this continues, Chaldea will enter a foam state and be absorbed by the Temple of Time!"
At this moment, even Da Vinci felt an unimaginable pressure: "We must eliminate the Singularity before we are crushed! To defeat them, we must annihilate them simultaneously, but…" ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Countless World 』
"But… with their power, they couldn't do it!"
The crowd outside the video also understood Chaldea's predicament at this moment. There was a solution, but… Fujimaru and Mash alone simply couldn't achieve it!
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜
Watching this scene, even Fujimaru Ritsuka appeared somewhat anxious, his back already soaked with sweat.
"If I lose, then all of Human History will cease to exist…"
He kept asking himself over and over in his mind: What to do in this situation? What should be done now?
"Fujimaru, Fujimaru?"
Just then, after hearing the Doctor's call, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally snapped out of his daze, covered in sweat:
"Doctor? Where did you go before?"
"That's not the point!"
Dr. Roman brushed it off somewhat awkwardly. I can't exactly tell you I was hiding in the toilet because I was afraid my identity would be discovered, right?
Roman looked at the sweating Fujimaru and patted the latter's shoulder:
"The point now is, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
He still had a trump card. He also knew that in this unsolvable situation before them, Mash and Fujimaru had no solution.
So… this situation before them might be the time when his future self reveals his trump card.
