Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Type-Moon, inheriting the legacy of Zi-O.

"Cough cough... Mary, I'm alright... My wound is bandaged very well..." She quickly removed Mary's hand, as she had just woken up and her body was experiencing some physiological reactions that shouldn't be there at this time... She couldn't let Mary see... "Or rather, Mary, are you alright... Did something happen afterward...?" She knew Evolto had sent Rafe into the black hole, but she had passed out afterwards and didn't know what had happened.

"Ah... oh, and then..." Mary stopped her wicked little hand, tilting her head slightly as she recalled what happened next.

"After that, after you passed out, the singularity began to collapse, and Lev..." Mary's eyes flashed with sadness when she mentioned Lev, but it was fleeting. "The spatial link to Chaldea that Lev opened also automatically closed. Then, Romani teleported us back." She tapped Nianzhuo's cheek with her index finger.

"The Greater Grail has been retrieved, and Singularity F has been successfully eliminated. The only drawback—" Mary finished speaking and stared into Nian Zhuo's eyes.

"So, you and Mashu were both seriously injured, weren't you?" Although it seemed like nitpicking, the underlying concern for Nianzhuo and Mashu was clear. But let's at least save face for our little Mary for now~

"Thank you for your hard work, Mary." Without stopping stroking her hair, Nianzhuo couldn't bear to let go of the smooth feel of it.

“Hmph,” Mary stood up, her face slightly flushed. “I still have a lot of follow-up work to do. You need to take good care of your injuries. As my servant, you absolutely cannot let yourself get into this state again…” Reaching the door, with her back to Nian Zhuo, Mary’s voice trembled with a hint of a sob.

"And thank you for saving me, my hero~" After saying that, the sound of her footsteps quickly faded away, like a shy little girl running away.

As Mary's footsteps faded into the distance, Nianzhuo's smile finally vanished completely, and he clutched his head, feeling a sharp pain. Nianzhuo's lips twitched.

"Hiss—the burden of transformation is too heavy! Is the system here? Is the system here?" He called out to the system in his mind, his stubborn and mischievous personality unchanged to the end.

"I'm Jiao Mei~ I'm Jiao Mei~" The system's emotionless voice picked up the joke in my mind, although it sounded a bit strange. "So, host, what do you need the system for?"

"System, please open my inventory. How many missions did I complete this time to clear the Singularity?"

"Beep—" The system's light screen unfolded in front of Nianzhuo.

"Host: Nian Zhuo"

"Strength: d+"

"Agility: E"

Durability: d

"Magic: E"

"Lucky :d"

"Backpack: Time Driver x1, Zi-O Watch x1, Build (Bubble) x1, Ex-Aid Watch x1, Ghost Watch x1 (unapproved), Evolve Stage 4 Watch x1 (approved), God Limit Caricature Trial Card x1, Invincible Player Trial Card x1,"

"Congratulations, host. You now have many trump cards up your sleeve." The system's voice seemed to carry a hint of encouragement. "At least now you have the most basic ability to protect yourself."

"Ghost E's watch face... his trump cards still include God's Limit and Invincible Player." Reflecting on his current combat power, Nian Zhuo recalled the future beast, its lips curling into a wicked smile.

"Tsk, but even so, I will never let you control my future. At least, at least I will struggle before accepting my fate." Gripping the bed sheet tightly, Nian Zhuo decided to temporarily hide E's watch face.

"By the way, System, please open Ghost's Mirror World for me—" Nian Zhuo straightened up, deciding to go and meet the knight who gave up becoming a god in order to make a living.

Soaring through the sky, realizing one's dreams—Tenkuji Monk

Then, the world began to change.

Those who control time and those who are grateful.

When Nianzhuo opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a shrine.

In front of the offering box, a man was praying with his hands clasped together and his eyes closed.

That is the protagonist we are looking for this time—Takeru Tenkuji, the healer of Kamen Rider Ghost.

Nianzhuo didn't go forward to disturb him; this incredibly kind and compassionate person was worth waiting for. He simply stood silently behind Tenkuji-zun, waiting for his prayer to end.

"Phew—done, done~" Finally, he stood up and turned around to see Nian Zhuo standing behind him. "Ah, sorry, sorry, I kept you waiting~"

“No, it’s alright. Your actions are worth the wait.” Nian Zhuo smiled and extended his hand. “Hello, Tenkuji Takeru. Kamen Rider Ghost.”

He thought the other party would hesitate, but to his surprise, Xiao Zun immediately grabbed his hand tightly. "Hello, hello, uh... your name is... yes, Nian Zhuo! You've come to take my power, right..." The incredibly straightforward statement made Nian Zhuo a little embarrassed.

"Although that's the purpose... Xiao Zun, you're being a bit too direct..." Nian Zhuo scratched his cheek, looking at the grinning Xiao Zun in front of him. He just couldn't bring himself to get angry.

The child before her, in her previous memories, had grown from timid to brave; Nianzhuo had watched him grow step by step. He became increasingly strong, a person with true compassion in his heart, which made Nianzhuo feel very fond of him.

"Hehe~ Sorry~ But Nianzhuo, you also want Ghost's power, right?" As he spoke, Xiaozun tossed over a golden object. When Nianzhuo caught it, he realized that Ghost's watch face was quietly lying in his hand.

"Xiao Zun, what are you doing..." Confused and unable to understand why Xiao Zun would hand over the watch face so easily, Nian Zhuo met Xiao Zun's eyes. "You... do you believe I'm not an enemy?"

"Because Nianzhuo, you didn't disturb me while I was praying, but waited quietly behind me..." An unexpected answer. Nianzhuo thought it would be like Zhan Tu or Yongmeng, with some twists and turns and enlightenment, but he didn't expect Xiaozun to entrust his power to him with such a simple reason.

"Yes! Of course!" Xiao Zun nodded, still smiling happily. "I believe in you, you'll definitely make good use of this power~"

Speechless, facing this incredibly kind child, Nianzhuo felt a thousand words stuck in his throat, unable to utter a single one. "Thank you for your trust, Xiaozun. I promise you, as long as my soul hasn't burned out, I will carry on with your trust."

"Okay! It's a date!" Extending her little finger, Xiao Zun walked up to Nian Zhuo.

Seeing this childlike action, Nianzhuo gently hooked his little finger around hers.

"Yes, it's arranged."

As the power was entrusted to him, the Mirror World began to shatter like glass.

"We're about to part ways," Xiao Zun called out to Nian Zhuo as he watched him leave.

"Hey!"

"Nianzhuo," Xiao Zun waved his hand as Nianzhuo turned around, "A true hero is one who burns their life and dedicates themselves to it! Therefore, you must risk your soul and open the eyes of your heart and soul!" Transforming into countless white feathers, golden light particles also flashed on Xiao Zun's body.

"Ah! We made a promise." With a wave of his hand, Nian Zhuo put the watch face into his pocket and once again shouldered the responsibility of a hero.

The world shattered, feathers fell, and no one remained here.

Nian Zhuo opened his eyes again, still sitting in the infirmary of Chaldea, his body still wrapped in bandages. However, looking at the Ghost watch in his right hand, Nian Zhuo couldn't help but smile.

"Just you wait and see, Little Zun."

"As a knight, wearing a mask, I protect people in places no one can reach."

To be born a human being is a journey of life and death; to live without desire is to be nothing more than a source of inspiration and smoke.

The soul is immortal, burning with life, witnessing the seven emotions and six desires, I think, therefore I am.

Name: Tenkuji-no-sama; also: ghost.

At this moment, the system also emitted a notification sound indicating that the task was completed.

"Mission: Gain the recognition of Tenkuuji Takeru"

Reward: Infinite Soul Trial Card x1

"P.S.: Host, this Infinite Soul has the same side effects as in the original work. Please use it with caution."

"The same side effect, reducing life force..." Remembering his promise to Xiao Zun, Nian Zhuo smiled. "It's just burning life force, how can that stop me..."

"Although I'm a little disappointed that I didn't unify the world," Nian Zhuo struggled to his feet and left the infirmary.

"Don't stop..."

Become eternal —

We finally embarked on our journey.

When Nian Zhuo arrived at the control room, Mary, the doctor, Ritsuka, and Mashu were all waiting for him there.

The control room was now a mess, though the fire had long been extinguished. However, Chaldea, the celestial sphere above, still shimmered with a crimson light, like the sun, its molten lava-like surface slowly flowing across it.

Walking up to the crowd, Nianzhuo touched the tightly wrapped bandages on his body and looked at Ritsuka and Mashu in front of him.

Fortunately, neither of them had any obvious injuries, except for Mashu's arm which was wrapped in bandages. They were both fine, Nianzhuo sighed softly.

Seeing that even the last remaining Nianzhuo had finally arrived, the doctor coughed.

"Ahem," the doctor said with a serious expression, looking at the group who had cleared Singularity F. "First of all, congratulations on your successful survival, Fujimaru. Thanks to you, Chaldea and Mash were able to survive."

"The singularity in Fuyuki has also dissipated thanks to your efforts, but—" the doctor changed the subject, looking up at Chaldea, which shone like the sun in the sky, "seven new singularities have been discovered."

Mashu and Ritsuka followed the doctor's gaze and saw seven particularly striking points of light flashing on the bright red Chaldea.

"It's a spacetime chaos far more severe than that of Fuyuki. The spirit particles are transferred to seven singularities to restore history to its normal state. This is the only way to save humanity."

Roman stepped forward and stroked a cracked spirit transfer pod, destroyed by an explosion. Within it once resided a Master who sought to save humanity...

“All Masters other than you have been frozen. Currently, the only Servants you have are Nencho and Mash,” he said, looking at Ritsuka and Mash who had fallen silent behind him.

“I know that what I’m saying in this situation is almost like forcing you.” The doctor paused, took a deep breath, and decided to continue, “But I have to say…”

The doctor slowly turned around and looked at Ritsuka, whose eyes were slightly dim but still held a firm gaze.

"The forty-eighth Master chosen is Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"You, your servant, and Nenju, the only servant in Chaldea who can move freely."

"Do we share a common awareness of shouldering the future of humanity?"

Nianzhuo looked at Mashu until Mashu felt his gaze and looked up at him, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. Similarly, Ritsuka behind him also put her arms around Mashu and Nianzhuo's shoulders with a helpless expression and smiled.

"As long as I—no, as long as we can do it." No further explanation is needed; the doctor could tell their determination from those few words alone.

“Thank you so much. Your words have decided our fate—” Before the doctor could finish speaking, Mary grabbed his ear from behind.

Miss Mary, who had been neglected for a long time, blushed and said, "What do you mean by 'our fate'? You're just a doctor, so don't try to take over the director's right to speak." She threw Romani, who was pleading for mercy, aside. The director put his hands on his hips and looked at the three people in front of him with confident smiles. As if he was also infected, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"From this moment forward, Chaldea will continue the plans of its current director, Olga Marie Animusfiah, and will fully carry out the mandate to preserve humanity's order, with the aim of protecting and reclaiming human history! The targets of our exploration will be various eras, as well as the Holy Grail, the relic that is the cause of the problem."

"Our object of struggle is history itself."

"What stands before you are countless heroic spirits and legends."

"If we want to survive, if we want to reclaim our future, this is the only way."

"No matter what kind of ending awaits us in the distance."

"The operation is named—"

"Chaldea's final and fundamental mission."

"Humanity Protection Order - Grand Order"

"In the name of the highest mission in the world of magic"

"We will surely reclaim the future!"

The gears of fate have begun to turn.

The Time Beast, seated on its throne in the void, slowly waved its hand and tossed several dials onto the second-to-last stone sculpture of the Alien Knight.

"Ex-Knight, I command you to proceed immediately to the First Singularity and await the arrival of our lovely guests."
