『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
At this moment. All the viewers couldn't help but fall silent as they watched everything on the screen.
They had absolutely no idea…
That the Noble Phantasms of the two individuals could leave such a massive void on Earth.
This was the power of two Heroic Spirits…
.....
Suddenly, the entire chat group became lively again.
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Fujimaru Ritsuka: Although I knew that the King of Heroes was indeed powerful enough, I really didn't expect the commotion caused by the two of them to be so immense. ]
[ Tohsaka Rin: If you keep playing like this, the Earth will cry! ]
[ Faldeus Dioland: … ]
[ .....]
〜In the Worldline of the Fate/Strange Fake〜
Faldeus couldn't help but feel numb all over as he watched everything on the screen.
Although he had already prepared himself mentally, he truly saw such a scene.
He also couldn't help but lose his composure.
"No, big brother… The Holy Grail War has just begun, and you're already giving me such a huge mess…"
He could hardly imagine how much trouble these guys would cause in this Holy Grail War.
In the coming days, the number of gas leaks would probably increase significantly…

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Kotomine Kirei: Although these two were very far-sighted in choosing the desert as their battlefield, they should at least pay attention to the impact. They actually created such a huge commotion. ]
[ Lord El-Melloi II: I thought you were already used to such scenes, but thankfully, I don't have to be responsible for such things. These matters can just be left to the Mage's Association and the Church to handle. ]
[ Olga Marie Animusphere: Speaking of which, this video should end here, right? ]
[ .....]
Just when all the viewers thought the screen was about to end, the content on the screen surprisingly continued to play.
『 From a distance, the fanatical child watched this scene, sensing the terrifying magical fluctuations.
And beside her was her Master—Jester.
"How wonderful! Beyond imagination! Isn't this the power that can fully ravage my servant!"
An excited voice echoed.
On the other side, Faldeus and Orlando faced such a scene with solemn expressions.
At the same time, Flat also took everything into his sight through his magic.
"Amazing…"
And Tine, who was watching, looked at the immense commotion before her with an expression of disbelief.
"This is… the Holy Grail War."
Immediately, the screen flashed and came to a strange space.
In this space, there was only darkness and points of light. And in its center was a wooden chair.
Soon, a man with a solemn demeanor appeared on the screen.
When they saw the figure on the screen, some viewers were already a little unsettled.
The reason was very simple, because the man who appeared on the screen was a very extraordinary existence.
The Wizard Marshall Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg!
One of the only five "Magicians" in the world, the Magician of the Second Magic, Kaleidoscope.
It is said that he was also one of King Solomon's disciples.
He is the ancestor of Jewel Magecraft and the pinnacle of mineral-related magecraft! 』
『 .....』
〜In the Worldline of the Fourth Holy Grail War〜
Tokiomi Tohsaka looked at this scene, and an unsettled expression immediately appeared on his face.
"How could this be? That person actually appeared in this Holy Grail War."
The relationship between the Tohsaka family and Zelretch was actually not bad…
It could even be called their patriarch without exaggeration.
After all, the Tohsaka family's Jewel Magecraft was granted by Zelretch.
The transmission of conversion characteristics and the use of Jewel Magecraft were the foundation laid by the Tohsaka family from the first generation…
And all of this was because Nagato Tohsaka could be considered Zelretch's disciple in a sense.
This is why the Tohsaka family, as a Japanese mage family, uses German for spell chanting and rituals.
So when he saw such a figure, an excited expression immediately appeared on his face.
—
And at this moment, in the entire chat group, all the viewers were continuously discussing animatedly.
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Tohsaka Rin: Eh…? Master? He actually appeared on the screen. Could it be that there's some unexpected twist in this Holy Grail War? ]
[ Arcueid Brunestud: Really, I didn't expect to see that old geezer on this screen. He seems to be exactly the same as before. ]
[ Olga Marie Animusphere: The Second Magician… He actually appeared in the video. It seems this incident is indeed not that simple. ]
[ Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi: It seems the world in this screen should be the world he created. ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
At this moment, even the viewers finally felt a hint of strangeness.
Indeed, this Holy Grail War had big problems; otherwise, a Magician wouldn't appear.
At this moment, all the viewers were watching everything on the screen with extreme curiosity, afraid of missing a single detail.
And the content on the screen continued to play.
.....
『 Zelretch's hand kept sliding in mid-air.
Along with this action, the heavens and earth reflected on the surrounding walls began to rotate.
"Hmm, this axis is wrong. Is this polarized light completely ruined? Oh, this editing is quite good… No, it's terrible. The Great Spider will awaken, and it's still a hundred years too early to deal with it."
Along with these words, the pages before him kept flipping.
This book was like an encyclopedia…
Countless things were recorded on it!
And every time Zelretch slid his finger, tens of thousands of leaves were born or disappeared.
"No matter how the situation develops, the Association will indeed not have a good end. That being said, there's no reason for me to intervene. Hmm, it's completely hopeless."
The moment these words fell.
The man suddenly spoke again, addressing a certain spot.
"What do you think? It's about time to say hello. The communication fee from over there is not to be underestimated."
"My apologies, I didn't realize you had noticed."
As these words sounded, a uniquely designed small wooden table appeared on the screen.
Immediately after, a telephone appeared on the screen.
"I originally intended to deliberate on the timing a bit more before letting the phone ring."
"Do you think I'm an old man who enjoys talking to himself?"
Hearing this voice, the mysterious owner finally reacted.
"You spoke because you knew I was here?"
"What kind of place do you think this is? The number of people who can sneak in is simply negligible."
Zelretch said indifferently.
"So what do you want? If it's just for tea and idle chat, let's do it another day. Unfortunately, I have a troublesome job right now."
"Hmm, I've come for this very matter."
"What?" 』
『 .....』
At this moment, the viewers heard these words and keenly sensed a hint of something amiss.
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Illyasviel Von Einzbern: What riddles are these two talking about? What's a Great Spider? I've never heard of it… ]
[ Olga Marie Animusphere: What? Have you never heard of the legend of the Great Spider? You're not a Clock Tower Magus, are you? 'If you don't sleep at night, ORT will eat you starting from your head, or rather, the entire house will be eaten.' You weren't scared by your family like that when you were a child, were you? ]
[ Gilgamesh (Archer): …The Great Spider! This incident actually caused the Great Spider to appear? ]
[ Aozaki Aoko: The Great Spider… It is said that in ancient times, a creature from outer space crashed in South America. Anyone who approaches it will be instantly annihilated. ]
[ .....]
〜In the Worldline of Witch on the Holy Night Worldline〜
Even Aozaki Aoko's face showed a solemn expression.
In the past, she wouldn't have paid attention to these things, but now it was different.
"The Great Spider is awakening… That's really a bit of a headache…"
One must know that if it were the Great Spider, then it was different.
That was a colossal creature that could accidentally destroy the entire Earth's ecosystem…
Even she, a Magician, dared not take such an enemy lightly.
The Great Spider—ORT!
Its identity is "Aristoteles(Ultimate One)" who came from the distant Oort Cloud, also known as "UO(Ultimate One)"!
The so-called UO is the strongest life form on that planet, a creature that acts according to the planet's will—Type-Mercury.
Therefore, it is also called "Ultimate One" or "Invasive Life Form"!
So if such a thing were to awaken, then things would indeed be a bit serious.

『 And at this moment, the content on the screen continued to play.
"What?"
Zelretch's face also showed a surprised expression.
At this moment, that mysterious voice sounded again.
"If you intend to choose an event in Snowfield to observe, you shouldn't choose the mages, but rather choose the world based on the criteria of an " intruder "."
The moment the words fell.
The telephone's rotary dial began to spin, and after reaching a certain point, it began to spin in reverse to return to its original position.
At the same time, the celestial sphere in this space also began to rotate.
Soon, one face after another appeared on the screen.
Men, women, old people, children…
"You push the planet without hesitation."
"After all, the path to the future is like a labyrinth, and this is my specialty."
As the two discussed, more and more images appeared on the screen.
Soon, it settled on a girl.
⟦Ayaka Sajyou⟧
"And also… yes, she should be wearing glasses."
Along with these words, fine-rimmed glasses were added to that face.
"…Is that important?"
"Who knows? After all, it's just deducing backward from the arrived result. Whether it's meaningful can be considered later."
After a brief silence, Zelretch also showed an enlightened expression.
"Hmm."
While looking at the information recorded in the book, he spoke to the telephone behind him.
"But you actually went out of your way to get involved with the present world. If you're too idle, go out on the street; there's at least one cafe frequented by book lovers, isn't there? Just spend your time there as much as you like."
"No… I'm not… passing the time. This incident is somewhat related to me."
"…I see. It's indeed something " that guy " would think of."
And such a string of riddles left all the viewers utterly bewildered.
However, they didn't think too much, but continued to watch the subsequent video.
At this moment, Zelretch also let out a helpless sigh.
"Although it makes some sense… precisely because of that, I cannot interfere. The more intruders there are, the happier that guy is; he's that type of monster. In this Holy Grail War, let me thoroughly remain an outsider."
"Hmm, you're right. If you interfere, the world might solidify for the worse."
"Whether her universe will become an apocrypha or the opposite. Let us watch with eager anticipation until the very end."
Along with these words, the scene on the screen changed again.
In the Snowfield Opera House.
At this moment, an ancient building exuded a silent atmosphere.
And on it, a man stood tall…!
When they saw that figure, all the viewers immediately reacted.
This was a Heroic Spirit; the aura and magical power emanating from him spoke of it all.
And at this moment, this Heroic Spirit also spoke with an extremely solemn voice.
"I ask of you. Are you my Master?"
The Heroic Spirit looked very young, probably in his teens or early twenties.
Although he looked incredibly handsome, his eyes were filled with a sharp gaze, and his expression was extremely serious.
Of course, what attracted the attention of all viewers even more was that this person held a sword in his hand, with remnants of magical light still lingering on it.
In other words, this Heroic Spirit had just used the sword in his hand…
In the end, the ancient opera house ended up completely half-destroyed.
The Heroic Spirit glanced at the fallen corpse, then refocused his attention on the woman slumped on the ground.
"Rest assured, there's no sign of ordinary citizens being caught up in this. On the contrary, it seems the culprit escaped… Hmm, to be able to escape from my hands, truly an extraordinary individual. However, I cannot turn back now."
Saying this, the Heroic Spirit's face once again showed a serious expression.
Then he began the final step of his contract.
"Based on this, I ask again, can I consider you my Master?
As you can see, my class is Saber.
If you can accept, then quickly complete the contract—"
However…
Before his words could fully fall, the woman's extremely angry voice echoed.
"No!"
"Absolutely not."
Seeing this scene, both the viewers watching the video and the Heroic Spirit on the screen showed stunned expressions.
They had absolutely no idea that the other party would give a negative answer.
"What?"
Facing the bewildered Heroic Spirit, the girl slowly stood up.
"I will… no longer be at your mercy!"
An incredibly firm voice echoed, and at the same time.
The entire video was completely darkened!
A huge character " End " appeared on the screen, announcing the completion of this video. 』
