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

The fierce wind cut her cheeks and shoulders like blades, and spots of scarlet blood seeped out.

"There's no time for me to hesitate." Nian Zhuo quietly took the watch face from the Wizard at his waist.

"I'm sorry, Haruto." Nencho's expression was somewhat gloomy as he turned the white watch face in his hand.

"Now, I will sow despair."

“Evolto…!” The moment Nianzhuo pressed the dial, he felt something loosen in his heart.

I heard the sound of shattering glass. Was I hallucinating?

A villainous knight in black and white, an immortal Martian monster.

Evolto black hole form.

Suddenly, the gigantic Demon God Pillar Flauros saw Mash suffering in the storm and flames behind him.

Several pitch-black cubes, which he could not comprehend, slowly enveloped Nian Zhuo's figure.

The reappearance of the Black and White Knights

"Hey, Nianzhuo. You've summoned me again." As if it were unreal, Evolto clenched his hand and looked at Nianzhuo, who was in pain with his eyes closed, with a half-smile.

"If I could, I would never want to see you a second time." Though unwilling, Nian Zhuo still reached out his hand to him. "Lend me your power again, Evolto!"

"So, you're prepared." Grasping Nianzhuo's outstretched hand, Evolto's phantom gradually transformed into black particles, forming a cube in mid-air that enveloped Nianzhuo's body.

“Of course, but not all of it.” Feeling the continuous replenishment of power within his body, Nian Zhuo smiled and tapped his head. “After all, I won’t be using all of your power.”

In his mind, the step that Nian Zhuo took toward the throne of the [Beast] suddenly shortened; what was originally a step was now only a fraction of the distance.

"...Since it will inevitably exacerbate my transformation, then I'll decide how much." He placed the dial on the driver, and the black cube instantly engulfed Nian Zhuo's figure.

"Armor Time!"

"Black Hole! Black Hole! Black Hole! Revolution! Fuhhahhahhahha!"

As the black cubes shattered, the black and white knight, with his belt and skirt, silently exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

“…This, this is again?!” Nero stared blankly at 'Nianzhuo' beside him, taking a few steps back in disbelief. “You…you really are Nianzhuo?” He unconsciously tightened his grip on the Primordial Flame in his hand.

This is an instinctive fear and hostility, a fundamental conflict based on species.

"Don't worry, I'm still me. At least for now." It was still Nian Zhuo's voice, which he remembered, but it had become much rougher, and he seemed to be enduring something.

Nian Zhuo gently patted Mashu's shoulder and stepped out of the shield's range.

“Mr. Nianzhuo…!” Even though she was already struggling, Nianzhuo’s sudden departure startled Mashu even more. “It’s too dangerous… Please come back quickly!” She tried to reach out and pull him back, but the increasingly heavy impact on the shield left her no room to let go.

"Don't worry... leave the rest to me." With a slight sway, Nianzhuo gently pulled Mashu behind him.

In an instant, the black and red flames and storm all crashed into Nian Zhuo's body.

"It's you... Nian Zhuo!!" Seeing the familiar figure, even the gigantic Demon God Pillar Flauros couldn't shake off the excruciating pain and fear in his chest. "How dare you harm our noble bodies! You bastard...!"

The ground continued to tremble, and the dark red flames suddenly intensified.

Nianzhuo's figure was engulfed by the black and red flames and storm, instantly becoming blurred.

"So... a mere Servant is indeed...!" Flauros sneered, grinning maliciously. "Without the power of the Holy Grail, how could you possibly resist...!"

"So, you're noisy." A calm and familiar voice, as always, came from amidst the flames and storm.

"What?!" Floros could hardly believe his ears as his black and red eyes trembled incessantly.

"...Then I'll repeat myself, you're very noisy." With a soft snap of his fingers, Nian Zhuo's figure appeared unharmed in front of Floros the next moment.

"How is this possible...!" Roaring in disbelief, Florence once again gathered her magic power. "The favor bestowed upon us by our king... how could you so easily dissolve it like this!"

Compared to the flames that spread outwards before, this flame was much hotter and faster.

"Roar—" It crashed into Nianzhuo's face again, the sound of flames burning echoing continuously.

"Snap—" Another crisp snap of fingers, and the pillar of fire was easily extinguished by Nian Zhuo.

It's more accurate to call it devouring. Nian Zhuo retains the Evolto armor's ability to break down any attacks it comes into contact with at the molecular level. As long as a small black hole is created in front of him, it's completely harmless.

"How is this possible... how is this possible!" Rafe, who had absorbed the Holy Grail, was still shouting noisily, but Nian Zhuo no longer had the patience to listen to him.

“…Anyway, you’re very familiar with this move, so I won’t say much more—huh?” Nian Zhuo pressed the button on the Evolto watch on his waist, but noticed that the giant Demon God Pillar Flauros opposite him was acting strangely.

Although it was tall and thick, the countless eyeballs on this massive pillar were not entirely black and red; some were perpetually closed. Upon closer inspection—

"...It seems those eyes didn't open when he attacked..." Nian Zhuo chuckled, as if he had discovered something interesting. "Could it be..."

"Finish Time—" As usual, the sound effect played, and Nian Zhuo's figure was sucked into the huge black hole that appeared behind him.

The next moment, the black hole opened where Florence's eyes were tightly closed, and Nian Zhuo stepped out from it.

“…Interesting, then let me test the effect!” Turning the driver over, Nencho’s feet were enveloped in a dark energy ball.

"Ready go!" Nian Zhuo kicked out at that spot.

"Where did that guy go...!" The eyes on his body kept wriggling, searching for Nian Zhuo's disappeared figure. However, Leif probably never imagined that the black hole could actually teleport according to Nian Zhuo's will.

"Aaaaaah!" Dark energy suddenly slammed into Leif's closed eyes, and instantly the entire massive demon pillar began to tremble.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!" Florence's screams of pain were clearly audible to everyone present.

"Black Hole Finish Time Breaker!!" The enormous black hole gradually expanded from Nian Zhuo's feet until it completely enveloped Floros's entire massive fleshy pillar.

"Aaaaaahh ...

"Go!" With a powerful kick, Florence's massive body was suppressed by the black hole and flew uncontrollably into the air.

"――――――!" A violent explosion rang out, and the black hole and the giant demon pillar vanished into thin air.

Floros had transformed back into the previous Rafe and landed on the ground.

However, he was far from handsome now. His green tuxedo was tattered, half of his hat was charred, and his face was covered with countless small wounds. Most horrifying of all was the huge scarlet mark on his chest.

Nian Zhuo was equally cautious and immediately removed the Evolto watch from his waist as soon as he landed on the ground.

With his back to the battered and bruised Rafe, Nianzhuo knew without even thinking what kind of expression the other man had on his face.

"Ciao~" Nianzhuo waved to him and slowly walked towards Mashu and the others.

"Damn it... Damn it all!" Lying on the ground, battered and bruised, Leif roared in despair, pounding the ground with his fists. "...How is this possible... How could a mere Heroic Spirit... actually repel us Pillars!?"

(World Famous Painting.jpg)

"...The unknown hostile creature has been defeated. Are you alright, Mr. Nianzhuo?" Mashu reported the situation softly to the doctor in the communication device, reaching out to support the swaying Nianzhuo who was walking over.

"..." However, somewhat unexpectedly, this time Nian Zhuo did not take the opportunity to fall into Mashu's arms, but slowly pushed away her outstretched hand.

“…Mr. Nianzhuo?” Mashu asked, somewhat puzzled, but she didn’t think much of it.

“Yes, yes, Mr. Nianzhuo… The hostile creature has been defeated. Even if we shouldn’t be careless, shouldn’t we hug and celebrate now?” Ritsuka also skipped over, looking at Nianzhuo who was covering his face with his hands with concern.

Kill, kill, kill, kill! Turn to ashes!

Rage! Rage! Rage! Rage! Unleash your desires!

They are merely human beings, prey in extremely poor condition. You [I] could kill them with ease right now.

Bathing in blood, or devouring their flesh and merging into one, don't you think that's beautiful?

This is the instinct of living beings—by devouring them, we can become stronger.

Haven't you always felt you were too weak? Now, with such a good and delicious prey right in front of you, ready to be slaughtered, what could be more satisfying than this?

"...Shut up." The monster's voice kept echoing in Nian Zhuo's mind.

Whose is it? Is it mine? Is it instinct? Or desire?

...Or perhaps it's "reason"?

"No, that's definitely not a thought I should have." The next moment, Nianzhuo put the Evolto watch back into his pocket, closed his eyes, and took deep breaths.

"...Are you alright, Mr. Nianzhuo?" At this point, anyone could see that Nianzhuo's condition was far from good. Ritsuka and Mashu gently held Nianzhuo's hands. "You're alright now?"

A voice like a clear spring flowed into Nianzhuo's mind.

"...Yes, it's all over now, we won." The frantic shouting in his mind disappeared, leaving only the image of victory. Coming back to his senses, Nian Zhuo slowly withdrew his hand and touched the two girls' heads. "Thank you, I'm alright now. We won. And you were the ones who persuaded me to come back."

"Eh... Ah, no need to be polite." Although they didn't know what was going on, Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a smile and nodded.

"Hmm... As expected of my guest general, he is indeed powerful." Nero nodded, while glancing out of the corner of his eye at Lev, who was kneeling on the ground at some point. "He's still alive... that monster."

"Nianzhuo! How could you...!" Leif, kneeling on the ground, pointed his index finger at Nianzhuo, who was smiling. "No, I miscalculated. That's right! It must be like this!" He tapped his back, making a cracking sound as his bones twisted.

“After all, I’ve been away from the temple for a long time, and I’m starting to rot.” With the help of the Holy Grail, Lev’s battered body was slowly recovering. “However, I’m also a man who was tasked with participating in the mission to bring back the future, so I’ve not been unaware of the possibility that this might happen.”

"...What's going to happen now?" Mashu's expression shifted from annoyance to tension. Just how many abilities did the man in front of her still have up his sleeve?

"Watch out! I can sense the Holy Grail activating! Something's about to happen again, Mash! Quickly tell Nencho and Ritsuka to be on alert!" Dr. Roman's exclamation came from the communicator in Mash's hand.

Once again, everyone's attention was focused on Rafe.

"...I offered up the entire ancient Rome as a sacrifice and successfully summoned the strongest hero!" A maniacal smile returned to Rafe's face, and the golden cup in his hand shone brightly.

"Rejoice! Emperor Nero Claudius!" Pointing directly at Nero's puzzled face, the enormous summoning circle gradually revealed its true form. "This is the one truly worthy of Rome's end!"

"Rome is the world! And the world will never come to an end!" Extending his primordial fire, Nero repeated the words that the progenitor of the gods had entrusted to him before his departure.

“When pride goes astray, it is nothing but utter folly. You will witness the end of your own world!” With his arms outstretched, Rafe shouted as if he had fallen into some kind of madness, calling upon a certain figure in the Holy Grail.

"Come! Turn the human world upside down! Destroy one of the seven cornerstones! — By the word of my king."

"Show yourself! Attila, the great hero of destruction!!!!" With Leif's roar, the Holy Grail shone with unparalleled golden light. At the same time, within the massive summoning circle on the ground, a figure slowly materialized.

With a thunderous crash and the Holy Grail's signature golden torrent of magic, the figure within the summoning circle rapidly coalesced.

"Clang—" Enveloped in a torrent of magic, a sword instantly severed it.

A woman with a white veil on her head and brown skin, adorned with intricate white patterns unique to the Xiongnu, slowly emerged from the summoning circle.

"—" Without uttering a word, the white veil on the girl's head was inlaid with three incredibly dazzling gems, their red, green and blue colors shimmering in the sunlight.

"...!" Mash seemed to sense something and hurriedly raised her shield.

"Come on, slaughter, destroy, burn!" Surrounding the girl, Lev shouted maniacally, "Use your power to burn the Singularity and Rome to ashes! Hahahaha! It's all over! Romani Archaman! The continuation of humanity is a pipe dream! This Servant is the ultimate destroyer! Although Attila is also a Heroic Spirit, her power—" He wanted to say something more, but the white-clad girl beside him showed an unhappy expression.
