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

“Next, I will leave the ground.” Purple lightning flashed in his hand. “This lightning will go to the area where the demonic mist is gathering, roughly above Buckingham Palace. As long as I strike there with lightning, the demonic mist will truly become active and then devour everything—” His voice turned somber, but suddenly he looked excitedly at the gray sky, and sparks of electricity suddenly flashed around his body, startling Ritsuka into taking several steps back.

"—Everything! That's right, to be precise, it's devouring all of creation!!" Okay, it seems this guy has been affected by his berserk state again. "Destroy the filthy civilization, tear away the earth's disguise! This island will be burned to ashes by the sacred and inviolable thunderclouds! With this singularity as the starting point, the future of human history is destined to be completely burned away!"

"..." The arrogant words of the other party shocked the heroic spirits who were unable to move.

“But! Just but! But—” Tesla turned around, his face still showing a fanatical expression, but his words became heavy. “But if you still haven’t given up, then come and chase after me, try to stop me! Heroes! This means that you will be enemies with me, the one who established a new era and a new civilization with a new mythology—the Thor of the new century.”

"Since that's the case—" He gazed at Ritsuka's resolute eyes and the unwilling Servants, "you must create an even newer myth to penetrate my body! There is no other way! Hahaha—hahahahaha, hahahahahahaha!"

Having said that, Tesla turned and walked away into the distance, ignoring the expressions on the faces of the heroic spirits behind him, surrounded by magical mist and flashes of lightning.

"Wait...!" Mordred tried to get up, but collapsed to the ground again due to paralysis. Staring at Tesla's receding figure, he shouted unwillingly, "Stop right there! Nikola Tesla!"

Although the numbness was gradually fading, they, lacking magic, could only watch helplessly as Tesla's tall figure receded into the distance.

On the other side, after leaving Nianzhuo and the others, Tesla was walking slowly down the street.

"...London, it's been so long." Breathing in the familiar air, Tesla gazed at the sky above Buckingham Palace, shrouded in magical mist. "I never imagined that I, who aspired to be a British gentleman, would play the role of a world destroyer. This is something I never envisioned. But—"

In the blink of an eye, his berserk nature once again threw his reason into disarray.

"—Haha! As a mythical figure who has ushered in a new era, I am about to bring an end to electrical civilization and human history! How ironic, but also a great pleasure! Haha, hahahahahaha!" Tesla quickened his pace and gazed at the place where the demonic mist gathered, his eyes gradually becoming fiery.

"Come! I will ascend to the sky!" With that, lightning began to crackle around him, gradually meeting the dark thunderclouds in the sky. "Appear, stairway to the gathering place of destiny in the sky!"

As soon as he finished speaking, starting from Tesla's feet, purple electricity gradually transformed into a staircase leading to the sky, stretching all the way up to the sky above the gathering place of demonic mist.

"Respond to the summons to descend upon this great lightning staircase! Now I grant you permission to lead me anywhere!" Taking a step, his foot, which should have been resting on thin air, was lifted up by purple lightning and then slammed heavily onto the purple electric staircase.

"Hahaha, hahahahahaha!" As his figure slowly rose, feeling the cool night breeze of London on his face, Tesla's laughter grew even more arrogant. "Hahahaha!! No one can stop me now!"

However, golden shooting stars always appear in this dark night sky.

"—Stop laughing." Suddenly, a deep male voice came from below, from the previously deserted street.

"All I have to do is pull you down, isn't that simple?" A golden bolt of lightning flashed below.

"Oh—?" Seemingly puzzled, Tesla lowered his head from the lightning staircase, looking in the direction of the sound. "Hmm, lightning is roaring. This is...?!"

It wasn't the lightning surrounding his body, but a completely different kind of lightning.

The golden lightning illuminated the street below, and a majestic figure shone brightly within the golden light.

Rumble—Golden lightning descended from the dark clouds in the sky, striking the street and creating craters.

Then, the descending golden lightning transformed into an incredibly thick current, striking the center of the crater.

"Golden light shining from lightning—" Arrogant golden lightning flashed, and a figure symbolizing resistance emerged from the darkness, illuminating the surrounding demonic mist. "Someone is calling me, telling me to annihilate demonic nature and vanquish evil spirits."

"Tsk—so long-winded." The man clicked his tongue impatiently, as if only he could hear the low murmur. "So annoying! So annoying! So annoying! Stop babbling in my ear! I'll always be ready to swing my axe for myself!"

"Subdue the demons! Beat the rakshasas! — The shining broad axe! Golden —!" A burly man with short blond hair, wearing an ill-fitting white shirt and speaking strange English, emerged from the lightning.

Strangely, he was wearing pink sunglasses, had regained his red, demon-like arm, and displayed his sharply defined muscles.

Then, he looked up and met Tesla's gaze on the aerial staircase.

"Although I don't want to reveal my name, I'll say it anyway." With a thunderous roar, the man gripped a huge golden short axe and smashed the surrounding earth.

"Heroic Spirit Sakata Kintoki—reporting for duty." The man, flashing a white smile and calling himself Sakata Kintoki, pointed an axe at Tesla in the air and the lightning staircase beneath his feet. "Hey you in that flashy uniform, your staircase is against traffic rules! Hurry up and run home with your tail between your legs, stop your pathetic whining and complaining!"

Tesla did not reply, but instead looked down at the man who was surveying his surroundings with a slightly cold gaze.

"—Hmph, so this is what they call a global crisis." After cautiously surveying his surroundings and confirming there were no other enemies, Jin wore that arrogant smile. "My intuition is always right. If I can't stop you, the world is in danger. Am I right?"

Looking up at Tesla, who remained silent, their eyes met in mid-air, as if sparks of electricity were ignited between them.

"Looks like you'd love to take a walk in the sky. But if you do, the world will be even worse off not only by fire, but also by fog and lightning." He exuded a warrior's aura, which ruffled the man's golden hair.

"Incredible!!" After sensing the aura that only warriors possessed from the other party, as well as the golden lightning, Tesla praised with great satisfaction, "Your comprehension is as sharp as lightning! As fast as lightning! That's right, if you don't stop me, the world will be destroyed."

“But—well, oh…” Suddenly, Tesla’s expression turned puzzled again, and he looked away. “This is quite an interesting thing…a rather interesting case.”

He watched the lightning flashing around Kintoki and the noticeably reduced amount of demonic mist on the street.

"Using lightning as a catalyst, summoning new Heroic Spirits from the demonic mist?" Then, his expression turned serious as he gazed at the man below, who was laughing wildly. "Kintoki Sakata, you call yourself that, don't you? You seem to be one of the heroes fighting against the new mythology. If the Heroic Spirits of Heaven and Earth belonging to the old mythology were to be reduced to ashes in a laugh, then you are—"

Tesla stared at Kintoki for a long time before confirming Kintoki's affiliation.

"—A heroic spirit of humanity?" His ascending steps finally halted as he gazed down at the man below. "He is the one who seeks to hinder my progress. He is the one who fights for humanity. Is that so, Kintoki Sakata? No, perhaps I should call you Mr. Golden? Let me call you that, I must call you that." This was an affirmation of the warrior standing before him.

"Hmm, there's no word other than 'Golden' to describe you!" He looked at the golden lightning flashing around Kintoki's body and the great axe in his hand, "It's as dazzling as electric ions!"

"Oh my, you really can't judge a book by its cover! You're quite perceptive!" Jin Shi seemed quite pleased to hear the compliment. "It's so fortunate that you're so understanding!"

"A genius can understand the other person's intentions anytime, anywhere! Even if they're under a spell!" With that, purple lightning crackled in Tesla's raised hand, aimed at Kintoki below. "But, haha! I won't hold back! Let me show you the genius of Nikola Tesla!"

"Ha, that's really Golden!" Kintoki gripped his axe tightly, looking at Tesla, his own golden lightning flashing. "Then I'll show you my most dazzling side too—"

However, before they even realized it, a beautiful figure appeared between them.

"Alright, alright, excuse me." A pair of fox ears on her head twitched, and a 'girl' dressed in a blue shrine maiden's outfit appeared between the two. "You two, could you wait a moment? This is London, right? The Foggy City of London, isn't it?" The fox girl looked around and asked the two with a curious gaze.

"So, where is the dreamy double-decker bus? Where are the British Museum, the Clock Tower, and St. Paul's Cathedral?" Then, she realized the sky was gray, and the sudden gust of magical fog choked her throat. The girl's face changed, and she covered her nose. "What's with this weird fog? Why is there no one on the streets? Isn't it daytime? Where are my fish and chips? Where is my secretly longed-for afternoon tea?!"

"Scones! Butter! The main store of Fortuna Mason!" The two tails on her back twitched, and the fox girl shook the mirror in her hand. "Why is most of this place in ruins?! Migu~ Was London destroyed in an instant?"

As if talking to herself, Miss Fox cupped her cheeks.

"I wanted to rehearse with my master before our honeymoon, which is why I came to London on this trip, but what's going on here?!" Gradually, shrouded in a dark aura, Miss Fox turned around and looked at Kintoki, who was holding an axe. "Kintoki, did you plot against me? How dare you underestimate the gods?"

"Ah~..." Jin Shi put down the axe, covered his forehead, and looked like he couldn't bear to look at him.

"And another thing, although my master comes from my hometown of Hua—ah~ I almost let it slip, I almost spent my entire savings to go on my honeymoon with my master! Where is my master? Where is my big master?!" Miss Fox then realized that her so-called 'master' was not by her side and looked around anxiously.

“This—” Nikola Tesla looked at the noisy fox girl and fell silent.

Thunder from Man and Thunder from Heaven

“This—this is undoubtedly a spirit of the earth…” Staring at the fox girl in the blue priestess’s robes on the ground, Tesla showed a rare solemn expression, and even turned around and walked down the lightning staircase he had constructed.

"No, is it the heavens...?" The more Tesla looked at the fox girl in front of him, the more surprised he became. "This aura, I, a genius, can detect it! You are a mythical figure from the old era!"

I used to look down on people from the old era, let alone gods.

"But—but—!" He took a deep breath, his eyes burning with fervor, but it was also a mixture of surprise and admiration for the fox-woman's identity and beauty before him. "What a beautiful and dazzling noblewoman she is...!!"

"Migu?" The fox ears on her head twitched as if she had been electrocuted, and the fox girl blushed, looking quite pleased.

"Although she is now a legendary beauty whose glory has faded, I, Nikola Tesla, still wish to show her the utmost courtesy." Tesla gave the fox-woman before him a polite bow, speaking softly, "Beautiful lady, you possess an air of oriental grace. This place is dangerous; it would be best if you left."

"Oh my, what a handsome soul!" The fox girl's ears twitched, and she couldn't help but show interest as she looked at Tesla, who was bowing to her gentlemanly manners. But then she shook her head firmly. "No, no, no, I am only devoted to my master. This won't do."

Her gaze returned to Tesla, who was bowing, but the fox girl took a few steps back and scrutinized him with a scrutinizing expression.

"Furthermore, I don't think you have a cool or handsome aura." Especially with the raging lightning around his body, she became even more certain of her suspicions. "Could it be that you've been subjected to a berserk skill?"

"Haha, this lady is so intelligent, she's perfect." Tesla couldn't help but admire her. He also backed up in the opposite direction, creating some distance between them, and the raging lightning calmed down a little. "Although there are some minor discrepancies, it's roughly as you said, ma'am."

"My words are meaningless. No matter what I say, my actions have only one purpose!" Gradually, his eyes sharpened, and lightning began to surge around him.

"Alas! I hate myself!" Tesla roared to the sky, conjuring spheres of lightning in his hands. "Because I am a genius, my thoughts and actions are always at odds—!"

“Mommy, my master is pretty much like you, or rather, maybe all men are like this—” Although she said this, she began to secretly manipulate the mirror in her hand. “But you think this won’t do, right? What are you going to do?”

"Then it's up to you!" Tesla's face shimmered as she manipulated the purple lightning. "Madam, I don't mind if it's two against one!"

"Hmph~ Then I'll gladly accept your offer~" Manipulating the mirror to spin around her body, the two fox tails on her back twitched, and the fox girl announced her name, "I am Tamamo-no-Mae. Come, Kintoki, let's quickly deal with him and continue our journey!"

Seeing the cold sweat suddenly appear on the other person's face, Tamamo-no-Mae covered her mouth with one hand and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

"Ah, don't worry. I'll go on the trip alone, I won't hold Kintoki back~" She even used a cute verbal tic, and a blue magic surged from Tamamo-no-Mae.

"That's great." Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Kintoki, who wasn't good at dealing with women, breathed a sigh of relief. "By the way, you hitched a ride with me after I was summoned, right...?"

"We'll discuss those issues later." Tamamo-no-Mae raised an eyebrow at the mention of that. "Alright, let's focus on that side first. That handsome guy's already prepared, isn't he?"

"..." However, Jin Shi only glanced at the other person before slightly shifting his gaze away.

"Um, Kintoki?" Sensing the change in the other's emotions, Tamamo-no-Mae had several question marks above her head. "Why did you suddenly fall silent and look away?" Tamamo-no-Mae sniffed, trying to figure out the reason, and circled around Kintoki.

"Face—" Kintoki whispered, desperately avoiding Tamamo's approaching face.

"Hmm?" Because the other person was speaking softly, Tamamo-no-Mae even leaned closer, her orange eyes fixed on the other person's face, which was covered in cold sweat.

"Your face is too close—" Finally, he managed to say the reason in a voice that the other person could recognize. Kintoki immediately distanced himself from Tamamo-no-Mae, and even his breathing became a little rapid. "No, you just focus on supporting him. I'll take care of beating him up."

"Huh..." Tamamo-no-Mae leaned back a little, seemingly understanding, and took out a few talismans.

"Haha! Let's have a big fight then!!" Golden lightning roared, appearing on Kintoki's fist and axe, aimed at the equally prepared Tesla. "As fellow lightning beings, let's clash and create some intense sparks! Nikola Tesla!"

Then, in Tesla's eyes, the arrogant smile on Kintoki's face drew closer and closer, and the golden lightning collided with the purple lightning, illuminating the entire block.

Meanwhile, Nianzhuo and the others, having recovered from their paralysis, were moving quickly through the streets.

"Huh...?" Mary's strange voice came through the communication device. Looking at the light representing Tesla that hadn't moved for a long time, she raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Nikola Tesla's movements seem to have stopped?"

Comparing the other party's location, Mary looked at the map of London again.

"He shouldn't be over Buckingham Palace yet...? But for some reason, he seems to have suddenly stopped moving forward. He shouldn't be over Buckingham Palace yet?"

"So, we can still catch up, right?!" Hearing this news, Mordred, who had been somewhat dejected, finally perked up a bit. "Thank goodness! This means we still have a chance!"

“Yes, let’s take this opportunity and get there quickly!” Mashu turned to Nencho and Ritsuka, who seemed lost in thought, and called out, “Let’s get ready to go! Nencho-san, and senpai! We need to hurry!”

"Ugh, I just said that, and now some more big guys are coming!!" Mordred shouted impatiently at the monsters that rushed out of the shadows of the street. "Now that you're all free, why don't you just run away!"

"Tsk, another bunch of hostile reactions have appeared in front of you!" Mary looked at the red dots appearing in front of Nian Zhuo and the others on the screen with equal displeasure. "War is about to break out. Prepare to break through in one go!"

"..." Facing the attacking enemy, Nian Zhuo fought on, but his thoughts drifted elsewhere.

He watched as the dragon flames shimmered in his palm, easily incinerating the monsters.

But that's not enough... With my own flames already set to exert maximum power, there's no way to counter that guy's heavenly lightning.

That was lightning, a convergence of human desires, brimming with possibilities.

It's a gift unique to that guy, a gift bestowed upon the Star Pioneers.

"So... I also need... a flame that can fight against him..." he muttered to himself, but in Nianzhuo's mind...

A gradually shimmering power, sparkling like a diamond.

On the other side, the entire street reeked of the acrid smell of burning after being bombed.

Golden lightning flashed once more as the short axe slammed heavily into the lightning barrier Tesla had created, tearing a gash in it.
