That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Boom!

An even more violent explosion shattered the large, hollow dome.

"You reckless bastard!"

Archer Shirou Emiya swiftly rushed to Mash's side, grabbed her body, and threw her next to Fujimaru Ritsuka. Then, standing before everyone, he chanted the true name of his Noble Phantasm: "Rho Aias! (Seven Rings Covering the Sky)".

呲味~

Layers of purple petals unfolded, transforming into a barrier that blocked the flames raging within the vast void.

Above Mount Yuanzang, a cross-shaped flame erupted, illuminating half the sky in crimson.

Inside the large cavity, the flames went out, but traces of the heat still remained within a radius of several kilometers.

At the center of the vine man's self-destruction, a lava pool with a radius of more than ten meters was left behind, and the dark figure knelt halfway in the lava.

Black Saber rose, leaning on her sword.

Caster Cú Chulainn exclaimed in disbelief, "That wretched monster! Can't we even kill it like this?"

Archer Shirou Emiya also had a solemn expression.

hum~

Black Saber's body burst into purple-black flames, and her [Magic Release] formed a defensive barrier, completely healing the massive injuries she had sustained in just a few seconds.

"It really is the power of protection."

Black Saber quietly looked at Mash in the distance, a smile appearing on her cold and dignified face: "I see, very much like that pure and innocent person."

"I lost."

Lost? Aren't they standing here full of vigor and strength?

Caster Cú Chulainn curled his lip, gripped his wooden staff tightly, and said indignantly, "What? You lost? Aren't you standing right in front of us now? Or are you plotting something?"

Black Saber stared at her gauntlets and shook her head: "If it were in my normal state... no, even in my Holy Grail-blessed state, that attack would have been enough to destroy my Spirit Origin. The reason I'm standing here is all thanks to Master's power."

The Knight King's gaze fell upon Mash: "But you have already proven your strength and resolve to me. Continuing to fight and protect this world has become meaningless."

"Explain yourself!" Caster Cú Chulainn shouted in dissatisfaction.

“One day you will know that the Grand Order, the war surrounding the Holy Grail, has only just begun.” Black Saber closed her eyes: “Now, I will return the power of the Holy Grail.”

"Master, I'll leave it to you to protect them from now on." These words were transmitted into Hall's consciousness through the magical connection with Hall.

Black Saber never revealed the truth. Besides not wanting to talk about it, Black Saber had already received a contract from the demon god when she accepted the Holy Grail.

Returning the Holy Grail, Black Saber's body gradually faded, turning into golden particles and disappearing.

"Hey! Wait!" Caster Cú Chulainn wanted to ask more questions, but found that his spirit core had dissipated and his body wouldn't last much longer.

"Damn it!" Caster Cú Chulainn cursed under his breath.

Archer Shirou Emiya and Caster Cú Chulainn, having just finished the Holy Grail War, are about to return to the Throne of Heroes on the outer edge of the world.

Before his body disappeared, Archer Shirou Emiya warned Olga and the other two: "Be careful, the massive evil aura on the ground has not disappeared yet. Although I don't know who you are, it's not a crisis you can handle."

Caster Cú Chulainn sighed, turned to Fujimaru Ritsuka and smiled, "I gave the same advice. Saber wouldn't say anything, so it's a pity I couldn't help you. If there's a chance, I hope you can summon me next time as a Lancer."

"That's all, goodbye." Caster Cú Chulainn waved goodbye and his body completely turned into light and disappeared.

The Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City ended, leaving behind only a golden crystal cube where Saber disappeared.

Fujimaru Ritsuka helped the weak Mash up and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Mash?"

Mashu responded with a gentle, reassuring smile: "Don't worry, Senpai, we won, didn't we?"

"Beep beep beep".

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, and her bracelet flashed a blue notification light. After opening, it projected the image of Dr. Roman. The young doctor said with a reassuring expression, "Well done. Next, we need to repair Singularity F. Director... Director?"

"what."

Olga Marie had been in a daze ever since she heard Black Saber mention the Grand Order. When she saw Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash coming over, she crossed her arms and hummed, "Fujimaru Ritsuka, although you are still very immature as a Master, I will give you a compliment this time."

Olga Marie then looked at Mash and nodded, saying, "Mash also worked very hard. Your prayer allowed you to successfully activate the Noble Phantasm. You didn't want to become a Servant or gain power. It was your pure faith that made the Servant entrusted to you respond to you. By the way, do you know the true name of the Noble Phantasm?"

"It's not clear yet."

"Let's come up with a temporary name. It's very inconvenient for a Noble Phantasm to not have a true name. If we use a spell to guide it, we can unleash the full power of the Noble Phantasm. What are your thoughts?"

Mashu shook her head.

Fujimaru Ritsuka awkwardly touched her hair and chuckled, "I've only just become a Master, so leave this to the Director."

"Hmm... Mashu, how about Lord Chaldea (Pseudo-Expansion: Foundation of Humanity)? Chaldea is a very meaningful name for you, isn't it?"

“Okay, thank you very much, Director.” Mashu bowed happily, looking at the shield in her hand and muttering the name she had just come up with.

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked, "Chief, what are we going to do next?"

Olga Marie looked at the cube-shaped Holy Grail left behind by Black Saber, hesitated and shook her head: "I'm not entirely sure either. Let's retrieve and analyze the Holy Grail left by Saber first. It's very likely the reason for the appearance of Singularity F."

“That one.” Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the golden cube and was about to pick it up when Dr. Roman’s urgent voice came from her right bracelet: “Ritsuka! Get away from there!”

"Huh?"

"A large amount of abnormal magical energy has been detected around you. The level is extremely high, far exceeding that of Servants!" Dr. Roman's warning came too late. The Cube Holy Grail suddenly emitted a bright light and unleashed a powerful impact that sent Fujimaru Ritsuka flying, lying unconscious more than ten meters away.

"senior!"

"Fujimaru!"

Mashu and Olga Marie both screamed in surprise.

"Human beings are delusional enough to covet the Holy Grail."

On the high platform, a tall figure suddenly appeared, none other than the humanoid Rafe Lenore Floros. He muttered to himself with a gloomy expression, "The series of unexpected events has exceeded the planned schedule and also exceeded the limits of what I can tolerate."

"Professor Rafe, thank goodness, you're alive!" Olga Marie exclaimed joyfully, trying to run over but was forcibly pulled back by Mash.

"Mashu?"

Mashu shook her head and solemnly warned, "Don't go over there. That's not the Professor Rafe I know anymore. He's something else."

What are you saying...?

Olga Marie's face immediately stiffened, and she looked at Professor Rafe with an interrogative gaze.

Professor Lef snorted coldly and said contemptuously, "As expected of a Demi-Servant, you can sense my changes. Mash, your existence is the collection of all human ugliness, created by worthless humans, a mirror reflecting the vile nature of humanity."

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Professor Rafe,” Matthew shook his head.

“No, you know very well, you should have understood it from the moment you were created.” Rafe sighed softly with his hands behind his back: “Dr. Roman, I should have called you to the control room, and you too, the last heir of the Animusfia family. I clearly placed the bomb at your feet... no, I can’t say you’re still alive, your body has been turned into a pile of minced meat.”

“You had no aptitude for spirit transfer in your previous life. It is only because you died that you gained the aptitude you had always longed for. Now you are merely a projection of your soul. Once you return to Chaldea, your consciousness will completely dissipate.”

"I will...die?" Olga Marie was stunned.

Leif Lenore Floros grinned and sneered, "How pathetic. Considering the contributions the Animusphia family has made to Chaldea, let me show you what Chaldea looks like now."

The cube-shaped Holy Grail floated in front of Rafe and merged into Rafe Lenore Floros's body. He smiled with satisfaction, "With the power of the Holy Grail, dealing with that foreign magician won't be difficult."

"Now."

Leif Lenore Floros grinned menacingly, snapped his fingers, and used the power of the Holy Grail to open a portal in time and space, revealing the current scene of Chaldea.

The time tunnel revealed a simulated Earth environment model, Chaldea, which resembled a globe, had no support structure, and was surrounded by multiple rings.

It is a model of Earth, simulating the data of another Earth by replicating the soul of a planet. Chaldea then uses this Earth model to ensure the so-called future where "civilization will still continue a hundred years from now."

Chaldea turned crimson, signifying a devastating blow to human civilization.

"You must be kidding me!" Olga Marie's eyes widened in horror; she knew very well what Chaldea's appearance meant.

Human extinction.

Rafe Lenore Floros sneered, "Don't believe me? What a waste of my good intentions. I specially connected time and space for you."

"If that's the case, then let's experience it for ourselves."

Words become law; a mysterious force immobilizes Olga Marie's body, pulling her toward the time portal opened by Rafe.

"Director!" Mashu tried to stop her, but she had no magic power, and Fujimaru Ritsuka was unconscious from the explosion.

Olga Marie, her body restrained, cried out in panic, "Professor Rafe! What are you trying to do!"

Rafe Lenore Floros coldly replied, "Give me your wish, touch your treasure."

"Stop! That's Chaldea!" Olga Marie struggled in vain, slowly approaching the portal.

“I know, I know better than anyone, that when a human touches it, both body and soul will be broken down into molecules, and they will never achieve true death.”

"No! Save me! Someone save me!" Olga Marie's body slowly floated toward Chaldea. Sensing the threat of death, she screamed hysterically, "I don't want to die! Why is it always like this! I haven't done anything yet!"

"Director!" Mash struggled to save Olga Marie, but she had no strength left to run. A deep sense of powerlessness enveloped Mash's heart. She watched the heartbreaking scene with her own eyes, unable to bear it any longer.

Anyone is fine!

Please save the director!

Mash's prayer was answered. Just as Olga Marie's body was about to cross the time portal and fall into Chaldea, space trembled violently, and the time portal suddenly closed.

Olga Marie's body fell from the sky.

Rafe Lenore Floros remained unmoved and calmly said, "Don't you understand yet? Still not giving up, magician?"

The power of the Eye of Fate has interfered with the workings of time and space.

Hall fell through the hole blasted open by Caster Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm, surveyed the chaotic scene, and stared at the demon god: "Hand over the Holy Grail, and then you can leave."

On the high platform, Olga Marie, who had been rescued, looked at Hall blankly: "Mr. Hall?"

Mash also looked solemn: "He is... Saber's Master."

“Why are humans always so arrogant? Why are humans always so presumptuous? Why can’t humans recognize their own value?” Rafe Lenore Floros sighed, bowed, and announced, “Since we’re all here, let me introduce myself properly. My name is Rafe Lenore Floros.”

"The person in charge who was dispatched to 2016 to deal with you humans."

"Dr. Roman, I'll tell you this out of respect for our past as colleagues: the future of humanity didn't disappear, but was burned away. Chaldea was only saved thanks to the magnetic field of Chaldea."

"You did not decline because you reached the end of your evolution, nor did you perish because you fought against other races. It was because your existence was meaningless, because of your incompetence, and because you lost the favor of our king!"

"The only value you have left is to be burned like waste paper."

Olga Marie covered her mouth, her eyes trembling with fear, unable to believe what Rafe Lenore Floros had said.
