===

The bespectacled young man beside Cao Cao was named Georg. He held a position similar to that of a vice-captain in Cao Cao's team.

Georg was a descendant of Faust and possessed the top-tier Longinus, Dimension Lost.

Dimension Lost could create an infinite mist centered around its user, capable of sealing all objects within it and even sending them to another dimension. It was the strongest support-type Longinus.

Aside from his powerful Longinus, Georg himself was proficient in Norse magic, demonic magic, fallen angel magic, black magic, white magic, and spirit magic, making him a top-tier support specialist.

The last young man, Leonardo, was a descendant of Leonardo da Vinci.

He possessed one of the most dangerous Longinus, Innovate Clear, which allowed him to create various magical beasts based on his imagination. The stronger his imagination, the more powerful the creations.

Although Innovate Clear was similar to Sword Birth and Blade Blacksmith in that they were all creation-type Longinus, its danger and power far surpassed the latter two.

After all, magical swords and holy swords still required someone to wield them, but the magical beasts Leonardo created could act autonomously and were specifically designed to exploit the weaknesses of different races.

In the original timeline, Leonardo had once created several "Tyrant Beasts" specifically designed to counter demons. Even the servants of the Demon King Sirzechs couldn't deal any effective damage to these beasts and could only slowly grind them down.

In the original timeline, Grayfia, even if she wasn't at the level of a Main God, was at least a Super Devil-level powerhouse leading a group of Devil King-level experts. Yet, she could only barely hold her own against these Tyrant Beasts.

And Leonardo had created several of these beasts at once! With just one person, he had achieved the feat of invading the Underworld!

In fact, this feat downplayed the power of Innovate Clear.

Because, at that time, Leonardo was still a thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid. His imagination and ability to use his Longinus hadn't yet reached their peak!

In the current timeline, these three were still growing. If they were allowed to fully mature, just these three alone could rival a medium to large pantheon (one Main God and several Super Devils)!

After watching for a while, Cao Cao stretched and picked up his spear.

"I should go down and give some guidance. Siegfried's skills are decent, but Heracles and Jeanne..."

"Can't these two remember that brute strength isn't everything?"

"Even if they want to rely on brute strength, can't they at least combine it with some technique?"

As Cao Cao was warming up, Georg suddenly looked up at the sky.

"Cao Cao! Something strange seems to be happening! Something has entered the dimensional space I created!"

"Huh? What is it?"

"I don't know! I've never seen this kind of energy before!"

"It's coming! It's heading our way!"

Before Georg could finish speaking, the thing had already descended!

A golden light descended from outside the world and directly landed on Jeanne!

Jeanne's armor transformed, and a banner with the emblem of a fleur-de-lis appeared.

"Whoosh—"

Jeanne grabbed the banner and firmly planted it into the ground.

"Huh?"

The girl, who had been acting on instinct with her eyes closed, seemed to realize that something was off.

"Whoosh—"

Pulling the banner out of the ground, Jeanne swung it with such force that it sent her companions flying.

Jeanne's companions were all shocked.

Before they could react—

"Boom!"

Jeanne hurled the banner, breaking the sound barrier and knocking Siegfried's Demon Emperor Sword Gram aside. The banner slammed into Siegfried's chest, sending him flying hundreds of meters!

If the fleur-de-lis banner had been sharper, that attack would have been enough to instantly kill Siegfried!

After all, Siegfried, as a swordsman, had relatively low durability.

"Jeanne! What's wrong with you?!"

"Didn't you say your family's banner was just a bare pole?!"

Even someone as dense as Heracles noticed that something was off with Jeanne.

But... because he was an idiot...

He only found it strange that Jeanne had pulled out a banner that wasn't just a bare pole.

Realizing that Jeanne wasn't acting normal, Heracles stopped holding back.

Balance Breaker!

[Superhuman Malice Wave!]

Countless cannons and barrels appeared behind Heracles.

With a roar, Heracles unleashed a barrage of projectiles!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Facing the barrage, Jeanne reached out, and the banner in the distance dissipated, instantly reappearing in her hand.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, Jeanne planted the banner into the ground, creating a golden barrier that perfectly blocked Heracles' projectiles.

As the smoke cleared, Jeanne stood unharmed, not even a speck of dust on her.

"Devil King level! Jeanne has broken through to Devil King level?!"

Georg adjusted his glasses, unable to hide his shock.

Jeanne's normal combat strength was only at the peak of the high-class devil level. Only by forcibly activating her Balance Breaker could she barely reach Devil King level.

But just now, after the golden light descended, Jeanne had broken through the high-class devil level and become a Devil King-level powerhouse! And not just an ordinary Devil King!

A newly promoted ordinary Devil King couldn't have easily knocked back Siegfried, who wielded the Demon Emperor Sword!

Although Siegfried's body wasn't at Devil King level, the Demon Emperor Sword in his hand was a top-tier weapon capable of rivaling a Devil King!

"No matter what's happening, we need to stop Jeanne's rampage first!"

"This is interesting. Let me handle it!"

Cao Cao stopped Georg, who was about to intervene, and jumped down himself.

"Clang!"

With a light sound, Cao Cao's spear clashed with Jeanne's fleur-de-lis banner.

Cao Cao didn't fare much better than Siegfried, being sent flying back dozens of meters before he could steady himself.

After stopping, Cao Cao raised his head.

"Such brute force! Jeanne's strength has increased by at least several dozen times!"

If it weren't for the shock-absorbing properties of his True Longinus, that strike would have shattered the meridians in his arm!

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The banner danced, and the spear swung. Cao Cao tested Jeanne's strength.

Soon, he came to a conclusion.

"Interesting! The strength of Jeanne's banner has surpassed that of ordinary sacred gears and is on the verge of becoming a Longinus!"

"Aside from the powerful weapon, Jeanne's own attributes are solidly at Devil King level! If she can reach Devil King level without using her Balance Breaker, then after activating it, she might be able to rival a Super Devil!"

"Even her last weakness—lack of technique—seems to have been completely remedied!"

Cao Cao was right. Jeanne had indeed become stronger.

The true Heroic Spirit Jeanne's body originally had Devil King-level combat strength. After absorbing the soul fragments from her descendant, Jeanne's rank evolved again, reaching the peak of Devil King level. Moreover, her combat skills had also improved.

When the Heroic Spirit Jeanne possessed her descendant, she combined her own combat skills with those of her descendant, naturally resulting in exquisite technique.

Meanwhile, in Fuyuki City, in the world of Fate.

In the house where Shirou had lived in his previous life.

"Phew—"

Kiritsugu Emiya let out a sigh of relief and opened the door.

Just now, he had completed the transfer of his Magic Crest.

From now on, he had lost his Time Alter and the Magic Crest that had helped him so much.

But...

"Creak—"

The door opened.

The Heroic Spirit Emiya, also known as Archer, walked out of the room.

After transplanting the Magic Crest to the young Shirou, Archer had immediately possessed him.

He was a pure employee of Alaya, so his descent was a routine matter for him.

"Invader of the world..."

The Heroic Spirit Emiya stared intently at Akira.

However, he only stared and didn't take any further action.

Because he had already completely severed his connection with Alaya, thoroughly shaking off his identity as a wage slave.

From now on, he planned to continue possessing his younger self, observing whether this world could truly break free from its predetermined fate.

As for companions...

That would depend on who they were.

After all, the person before him was the one who had forcibly cut off a portion of the world from Alaya.

The impact of a world-level existence on a Heroic Spirit was too great.

Previously, he had only known about the world where Alaya and Gaia resided. Even parallel worlds were just variations of that world.

But now, he had witnessed the existence of a true otherworld and realized that this world was moving closer to another world.

In this situation, both he and this world had become like drifting duckweed.

His previously endless work life had gained new possibilities, stirring ripples in the Heroic Spirit Emiya's heart.

What exactly was another world like?

Was another world itself bound by so-called fate?

Could this demon named Akira change fate because of his identity as an otherworlder? Or was it because of his own uniqueness?

If one broke free from their original fate, would they fall into a new quagmire of fate?

The Heroic Spirit Emiya didn't know the answers to these questions.

He only knew that both he and this world were heading toward an unknown future.

"Alright, how should I complete the contract?" Kiritsugu asked directly.

"It's simple. Just don't resist."

Akira handed Kiritsugu a transparent jewel.

As the jewel glowed brightly, Kiritsugu felt a cool sensation in his hand.

He felt something inside him being absorbed.

As that thing was absorbed, the magical circuits he had inherited from his parents rapidly weakened.

That thing must be what the Demon King Leviathan called "fate."

Soon, the absorption was complete. The jewel turned black and white, and Kiritsugu's energy dropped significantly.

"Demon King Leviathan, in that case..." Kiritsugu's voice was weak.

"Then the contract is complete."

"I will fulfill the contract."

Akira reached out and tossed Kiritsugu a chaos-colored jewel.

This jewel was something Akira had created himself, with functions similar to Grayfia's jewel.

After handling Kiritsugu's side of things, Akira turned his attention to Saber.

Soon, under Akira's guidance, Saber and he arrived at a secluded open area.

Along the way, to test his theory, Akira took the initiative to hold Saber's small hand.

The soft, delicate hand made it hard for Akira to imagine that this was the same hand that wielded the holy sword that saved the world.

"You!... What are you doing?!"

Saber instinctively tried to pull away, but considering she needed Akira's help...

As Akira had expected, after some conditioning and a few tricks, Saber had not only developed a subconscious obedience and submission to him but was also showing signs of awakening the "feminine" within her.

"I'm just doing some practice, Miss Saber," Akira said with a light smile.

"If you can't even handle this, how can we proceed to the step of absorbing your essence?"

Saber fell silent.

Indeed, Akira had already shown his sincerity and was even planning to take her on a journey through time and space.

If she couldn't even handle holding hands, how could they proceed to the next step? How could she change the past of Britain?

After mentally preparing herself, Saber made up her mind and took the initiative to hold Akira's hand.

Saber was an innocent maiden and didn't know that there were many small actions one could do while holding hands, such as caressing palms or playing with fingers.

However, Saber's innocence had a different effect on Akira.

Flirting while holding hands wasn't suitable for the noble and pure Saber.

What Akira wanted was this very innocence.
