What kind of world could possibly allow such a freak to be born?!
Chapter Five: A Minor Issue—Let me create an 'alias' and answer the call!
The problems that the Restraints were considering were not without possibility. When he sensed the fragility of that locked universe that night, he gave up the idea of forcibly breaking through.
Although it is possible to retract the microcosm back into one's own body, and then the individual 'disguise' and forcibly enter the universe ahead.
It sounds as absurd as putting an elephant in a refrigerator.
But as a humanoid singularity, Night is able to constrict and compress herself, much like compressing the size of a universe's files into the size of a human's files. This incredible and exaggerated thing is theoretically unclear—but almost all the big shots who walk this similar path, including Night, can do it.
However, the prerequisite for accomplishing this is to have a sufficiently stable channel connecting the two worlds.
However, just constructing this long and distant passage had already exhausted all of Ye's power. In order to maintain the connection, he could not retract his inner universe at this moment unless he chose to give up.
'No, this was exactly what I expected.' As he reflected on his current predicament, Ye's thoughts brought a calm smile to his face.
He conceptualized his own soul and then endowed it with similar attributes to the heroic spirits in Norse mythology.
Since he can't get in fully, let's downgrade him...
Just like those heroic spirits who can no longer be gods descended in the Holy Grail War, they are reduced to a level that is sufficient to respond to the summons, and by responding to the inner call, the world invites them to enter.
So here's the question—will anyone in this world call out to him?
If even his existence is unknown, how could anyone accurately summon him?
But—it's not a big problem.
Everything can be 'faked', right? If no one calls out to you, just create an opportunity for them to do so.
Meanwhile—the Counterforces trembled as they sensed the movements of the outside world.
'It's stopped?'
'Give up? Turning around and leaving like this would be best.'
'No, it can't be that simple. Alaya—look at that guy, he shows no sign of leaving.'
The two opposing forces communicated telepathically and began to feel extremely troubled.
When dealing with their subordinate Heroic Spirits and Guardians, such as Archer, who is a chosen laborer or tool, the Counter Forces can usually adopt the demeanor of a calm and collected boss, handling all situations with ruthlessness, composure, rationality, and ease.
But when faced with the monster outside, they felt completely helpless and timid—their simulated 'personalities' were on the verge of a breakdown.
Then, in the next moment, witnessed by the Counterforces, something unbelievable happened.
The nightlife team started impromptuly creating disguises for themselves!
Since there's no summoning, then find a Heroic Spirit who is being summoned and has a connection to you.
At this moment, in Ye's perception, the universe below—or rather, a composite universe composed of countless parallel universes—is witnessing a series of Holy Grail Wars that Ye is familiar with.
The most famous are the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars, the abandoned Tokyo Holy Grail War, the parallel universe timeline where the Greater Grail was taken away after the Third Holy Grail War—the Subspecies Holy Grail War, and the Snowfield City Holy Grail War, which is said to be a battle of gods, with Gilgamesh being the only one of these super-powerful monsters.
Of course—even the quality of Night's soul after its downgrade is something these Heroic Spirits can't compete with.
He was reduced to the limit that the world could only accommodate him to reach, not the limit that the Holy Grail War could accommodate his arrival.
The process is just a wedge; the result is what matters!
Since no parallel universes such as singularities or Lostbelts were observed, they should not be in the multiverse he was observing, but rather growing on another branch of the lunar world.
Whatever!
The Holy Grail War is also good. If he can seize the Holy Grail, he can accelerate his journey to the Root and send his soul and will into the Root. Then, a channel will flow from the Root to establish a connection with his physical body in the outside world, until his physical body can completely enter the Root and influence the Root with his own will, allowing all parallel universes under the Moon Worldview to flow out infinitely!
Soon, the identities and true names of the Heroic Spirits who will respond to the summons in the Holy Grail Wars of various worlds, known as the 'Fate Lines,' will all appear in Nighteye.
His distant vision allows him to look down and see directly into the future of all worlds. The true names of heroic spirits from some worldviews that were once buried deep in his memory or that he never had the chance to understand are also revealed to him.
The heroes who are most likely to be associated with him are those from the Greek and Norse pantheons.
Aside from Hercules, who appears in almost every universe, although he is a great Greek hero, he is from a different era, so let's pass.
Female heroic spirits were immediately rejected. Although Night could forcibly replace the other's identity and descend, he didn't have the inclination to become a cross-dresser, so it would be strange even if he were to do so under a title.
In the large-scale Holy Grail War of 7v7, which is a subspecies Holy Grail War initiated by Yggdrasil, three candidates who can replace the alternate identities to respond to the summons have appeared all at once.
His old friends—Achilles, Karna, the son of the sun god, and Siegfried, the dragon-slaying hero.
The former is because Ye once wore Achilles' armor and equipment and was able to use the combat skills that Achilles was famous for. On the battlefield, he was mistaken for the hero who was as swift as a meteor - Achilles!
Karna, the son of the sun god, is the source of their many similar legends.
Examples include stripping off armor, the power of the sun (blessing) on his body, not to mention when he used Karna's Noble Phantasm release phrases frequently during his ultimate attack in Greece.
The connection might not be so deep in other worlds, but if you examine it a little in the Type-Moon universe, everyone will be confused.
Arjuna, upon hearing this, might even wonder if his good brother and nemesis Karna had once left behind a legend on the Greek set next door.
As for Siegfried at the end, needless to say.
After the Nibelungen Epic was completed, under the concept of Night rewriting from the primordial universe, his legendary perspective as 'Siegfried' slaying the dragon had already covered all the stories.
Siegfried is himself, and so is Sigurd.
If Night does not respond to the summons, the opponent's forced summons will likely only bring out a 'fictional (fantasy) heroic spirit' with a similar legend, or 'other souls' with similar abilities.
For example, there was a certain swordsman (Tsuda) who was forcibly dragged into the Swallow Return event and given the name 'Sasaki Kojiro' to respond to the summons.
From this perspective, directly replacing 'Siegfried' might be the best option.
Compared to replacing other positions by taking over someone else's summons, which requires pushing aside the responding Heroic Spirits and then occupying the summoning channel for oneself, this is a domineering act.
Since he already has his own 'spot', there's no need for him to go out of his way to take someone else's spot.
Especially since almost all of those people had some connection with him.
Chapter Six is messed up; it seems to be too popular! Everyone's fighting over it!
This world is good!
Among the worlds connected to him, this one has the strongest connection, with three points of contact appearing simultaneously. Even if the other two are not needed, they will still create a resonance effect, increasing the success rate of his summoning.
He will appear as the strongest hero in the Nibelungenlied, possessing the legendary cursed holy sword and swordsmanship that transcends the human realm.
Having arrived in this world with this unique identity, it's quite interesting to think about what Achilles' expression will be when he meets him.
Because of the inherent convergence of Night, there will never be a scenario where there are ten million different versions of him in ten million universes.
He has no isomorphic counterpart in any universe.
He could clearly recognize the existence of heroes and women with whom he had a connection, and the days and nights he shared hardships and empathy with them would become a special memory.
It was like having a long dream, spanning the history of his existence.
Before night fell, heroes who had a connection with him would probably feel disoriented whenever they recalled their past lives, wondering if night truly existed in history.
They will have two sets of memories: one is the memory of living an ordinary life in a world where there is no night.
The other segment is a memory of nighttime.
Human history has clearly recorded these stories, telling them which side is the true and unvarnished 'scene'.
That period of life without night is more like a process of self-repair that the world had to undertake because of the disappearance of an important individual.
It's a buffer zone they've created so that they won't suddenly lose a crucial part, causing the world to lose its head—and thus they can't simply fabricate a false life for themselves.
But it doesn't matter—! Now night has come—! The void in this world will be perfectly filled.
Things went unexpectedly smoothly, and even the world itself seemed to welcome his arrival, actively responding and helping him open a passage to incorporate the 'will' of the night into his body.
Perhaps the world is instinctively seeking to make up for itself, because without Night, "one of the most dazzling heroes in Greek history," "Siegfried, the final trial of humanity in the Norse world and the dragon-slaying hero," the world has become incomplete, and every incomplete thing is always instinctively seeking the opportunity to make itself complete.
Even in a world without a clear sense of self, this is true! And this incomprehensible world actively fawned over the night, like a licking dog finally responding to a goddess. Its ecstatic lapdog-like behavior silenced the two forces that had been watching and watching the night's movements.
If they were human, their emotions at this moment would probably be a complete mental shutdown, leaving them in a state of utter stagnation.
ha? !
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
What did they just see? That enormous monster, whose exact nature was unknown and whose mass was equivalent to that of the universe, molded its own will into a tiny figure and then threw it into that world.
But the world offered no resistance whatsoever. Before the other side even made a move, it opened the world barrier on its own, leaving the gate wide open, as if afraid that the other side wouldn't want to come in.
It's just like those carbon-based life forms in the world, like peeling an eggshell and smoothly opening the door, looking at each other eagerly, inviting them to visit their own water curtain cave...
Hmm, thirsty creature! But despite being a goddess-level being, she is so shameless, willingly degrading herself and lowering her status to actively invite others to open her packaging.
This scene was simply—no, it made one's self-control scalp tingle, it was incredibly shocking—completely—incomprehensible!!
Is this something their two children should see?
Is this something that the combined lifespan of the two of them could never exceed 91 billion years (45.5 billion years of Earth's lifespan), a mere novice with less than 10 billion years of lifespan, could possibly comprehend?
You think this is the kind of world you're living?!
In order to avoid being harmed by powerful and terrifying external beings, shouldn't we proactively keep all those great and indescribable things out?
What world would willingly invite invaders into its home?!
Oh no! This world itself is probably messed up; its brain—no—its core is definitely flooded!
Indeed—such a world should have been abandoned in the first place.
Meanwhile, Ye successfully descended upon Valhalla as a heroic spirit.
That's right—he didn't appear directly in the present world of that parallel universe, but first appeared in the corresponding Siegfried's Valhalla.
Then—next, it's time to answer the summons to the land of the Thousand World Tree and become Saber for the Black Faction.
Night remembers that the person who summoned Siegfried was an incredibly stupid middle-aged man with blond hair and a fat body, whose nickname was the Incompetent King or the Useless Command Spell King.
As for his name—there's no need for Ye to remember such a minor character. But his son, Goldrov, the new director of Chaldea next door, the fat director, is much more interesting. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He seems to be cold-blooded and ruthless, just like a magician, but in reality, he's a funny and loyal leader who has left a fairly good impression on Ye.
But—if his fat, deadbeat father wanted to treat the Heroic Spirit he summoned as a heartless tool, using the same terrible attitude he had shown Siegfried, then Yoru wouldn't show any mercy because of that little bit of goodwill. At most, he would give his 'Master' a complete corpse experience.
Although it is called a 'disguise', Night's heroic spirit is not some incarnation that has descended; this attribute is purely a spirit that Night created for convenience.
Having successfully descended into this world, his power comes from his own soul power. He doesn't need a Master at all and can be completely self-sufficient—he's absolutely EX-ranked when acting alone, even more so than Gilgamesh.
And if the so-called Master hopes to control him by relying on those Command Seals.
Even though he was demoted to the Night, his domineering laws would never accept any 'word power' covering him, making him arguably the most domineering character in the history of the Holy Grail War.
They simply answer the call, but never fulfill any of the duties of a heroic spirit.
