Thank you for the invitation. He's in heaven now, he's become God.

P.S.: I feel like people didn't really like the Fourth Shinobi World War; it seems there were too many reviews. I'll save the main story for later, along with Shiki. I'll try to finish the Fourth Shinobi World War as soon as possible.

Chapter 171: Summoning Heroic Spirits

"Announcement."

Your body is under my command, and my fate depends on your sword.

If you wish to follow the call of the Holy Grail, obey this intention, and act in accordance with this principle, then you should respond.

Make an oath here.

I am the one who has accomplished all the good deeds in the world.

I am the one who spreads all the evils in the world.

You are the seven days that the three great spirits of words have entangled you.

O guardian of Libra, from the Wheel of Restraint!

Accompanied by the incantation of the summoning incantation, the heroic spirit's form took shape amidst the shimmering magical light.

Summoning seven heroic spirits at the same time is undoubtedly a remarkable sight.

The manifestation of the heroic spirit was realized, and the resulting wind and mist made the hall inscribed with the heroic spirit summoning circle chaotic, and even caused the source magic power of this space to rise several levels for a short time.

"Servant Saber, you have answered the call. Are you my master?"

"I obey my Lord's call."

"Was it really you calling me? Player~"

"I am Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld... Wait, where am I?"

"It feels like I had a very long-ago dream..."

"........."

"Shinsengumi, Okita Souji reporting for duty!"

As the magic dissipated, the heroic spirits summoned by the group—seven girls with different appearances—also revealed their heroic figures.

First is the heroic spirit summoned by Irisviel, dressed in pure white armor, with a black bow tied in a single ponytail on her beautiful golden hair, resembling a pure white queen like a lily.

King Arthur of Britain, Artoria Pendragon.

To be more precise, she should be called Artoria Pendragon "Lily", a young female knight who has just embarked on the path to becoming a king and is still immature.

Irisviel was the only one among them who used a relic for summoning, specifically a corner of the Knights' Round Table.

It is said that what Ahad originally prepared for Irisviel was the sword sheath of the Knight King, but it was intercepted during transport by an unnamed magician assassin, so it was replaced with the fragments of the Round Table that are currently in use.

But unexpectedly, King Arthur was still summoned.

Well, it's just that it might not be the same as the one that was originally supposed to be summoned.

Next came the Heroic Spirit summoned by Yahweh, Martha, the Saintess of the Type-Moon world, with waist-length purple hair and an exquisitely beautiful face.

However, her holy eyes, shimmering with a golden light, caused Yahweh's expression to shift slightly.

The heroic spirit summoned by Zabiko is none other than our Rose Emperor, Nero.

Perhaps because she is the ruler of the underworld, Wakaba Himeiro actually summoned Ereshkigal.

However, the summoned goddess of the underworld seemed completely bewildered, unsure of her current situation.

The black cat summoned Ms. Okita, with a face adorned with an ahoge (a type of hair sticking up). If it weren't for the different clothes, it would be easy to mistake her for Lily.

Finally, there are Yuuka Kazami and Haruka, whose summoned Servants are the most unique.

One was a girl with purple hair and purple eyes, dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit.

She blinked, seemingly somewhat bewildered by her current situation.

The girl beside her also had silky purple hair and wore a white kimono with purple trim, resembling a gentle and refined Yamato Nadeshiko.

The reason these two "Heroic Spirits" are considered special is that they are not "Heroic Spirits" of Type-Moon.

Indeed, according to the description in the chat group, this event mission, in addition to the Heroic Spirits of the Type-Moon world itself, can also summon beings from its own world, which will appear in the form of Heroic Spirits.

These two girls are the "Heroic Spirits" of Kazami Yuuka and Hotaru's own world.

"You are... Martha?"

Although the Heroic Spirit summoned by Yahweh appears to be Martha from the Type-Moon universe, Yahweh senses a familiar aura emanating from her.

"It is I, your faithful believer, my Lord!"

Although the delicate face was somewhat unfamiliar, the expression on it was all too familiar to Yahweh.

He sensed it briefly and immediately understood the situation of the Iron Fist Saintess before him. The one Yahweh had summoned was indeed Martha from the Type-Moon universe.

But besides her, there was also the will of Martha from Yahweh's world, covering her.

And now, the one who controls this body is Marda from Yahweh's world.

"My lord, should I return the will of this body to her?"

Looking at the Lord she believed in, Martha asked this question.

Before Yahweh could answer, a mournful cry suddenly echoed through the hall.

"So, what exactly happened?!"

The blonde, red-eyed, underworld goddess girl, holding a gun-shaped cage, looked around at the unfamiliar scenery, her face filled with confusion.

"The Holy Grail War... and stuff like that..."

"Why is it that magic from later generations could summon me here?!"

Having been perfectly fine in the Underworld, Ereshkigal was suddenly summoned to this unfamiliar place to participate in some Holy Grail War, which he found hard to accept.

"I can only say that this Holy Grail War is rather special!"

Yahweh turned his gaze away from Marda in front of him and towards Ereshkigal.

"Don't worry about it too much, just treat it as an unexpected vacation, Miss Ellie."

"How could I not care?"

However, upon hearing Yahweh's words, Ereshkigal puffed out her cheeks, which, combined with the exquisite features of this goddess of the underworld, made her look incredibly adorable.

"Why should I help a mere human being..."

As she said this, Ereshkigal glanced at her Master, Wakaba Himeiro.

"...What Holy Grail are we fighting over?"

"If you don't want to fight, that's fine too,"

It was not Yahweh who said this, but Wakaba Himeiro.

"Just like Yahweh said, treat it as a trip."

Wakaba Himeiro paid no attention to Ereshkigal's words.

After all, she participated in the Holy Grail War primarily for fun, and didn't care about winning or losing. If she really wanted to win, she could easily have wiped out the Holy Grail War herself.

"I am not afraid of fighting,"

However, upon hearing Wakaba Himeiro's words, Ereshkigal coldly replied in this way.

"Although I don't know why, since we've already gotten involved in this war, it wouldn't be right to just stand by and do nothing."

"If your performance satisfies me, you may borrow my divine power."

Hmm, a classic case of saying one thing but doing another, just like Ereshkigal!

"Although I am not good at fighting, I will do my best to use all my strength to achieve victory."

The "Heroic Spirit" summoned by Ying, a girl dressed in a white kimono with purple patterns, who resembled a cherry blossom, suddenly spoke in a gentle tone.

Chapter 172: Tokiomi: The Law of Victory Has Been Confirmed!

"A Holy Grail War in another world... How peculiar..."

Feeling this incredibly real sense of being alive, the girl in the kimono had a strange light shimmering in her dark purple eyes.

"I never imagined that even a dead soul like mine could reappear in this world..."

"...If we don't give it our all, it really wouldn't be right!"

Even though she had died in the war against Kanria, she unexpectedly found herself experiencing everything in the present world again.

Moreover, according to the information given to her in the chat group, even if the Holy Grail War ends, as long as she is not killed by external forces, this heroic spirit body will not dissipate.

In other words, she was essentially resurrected at this point.

It would be unreasonable for her to slack off in the Holy Grail War again.

After all, such kindness is akin to giving someone a second life.

Moreover, the shadow...

She didn't know how long she had been dead, but when she was resurrected, the first thing she thought of was the clumsy figure following behind her.

That younger sister who, despite her great strength, is easily tricked...

She really is still worried!

I wonder how she governed Inazuma after her death?

That silly little sister... I really should go check on her!

Moreover, she should have that opportunity...

Clearly, this "girl" who was resurrected from another world by the chat group knows far more information than a god like Ereshkigal who was summoned directly from the Age of Gods in this world.

"My power is also at the Master's disposal..."

Following the girl in the kimono, the purple-haired shrine maiden also spoke in a gentle tone.

She possessed an incredibly gentle demeanor, and seemed to be of the same type as the person beside her.

"However, I never expected that my Master would be you, Yuuka!"
