This is not an MMO game copy

Looking at the overall situation and the reasons why the Fate series is set up this way, the answer becomes clear - it is Alaya, one of the two major restraining forces on Earth in the Type-Moon world, that is interfering silently and invisibly.

However, when the butterfly effect shattered the original plot, Amakusa Shiro's target was no longer the first object that the restraining force Alaya had to deal with, but instead something that shouldn't exist had intervened.

Then, as the source of the butterfly effect that caused that thing to appear, it was natural for Alaya to target him, and he was about to take over Sieg's role.

The series of divine gifts that Sieg would have received, and the halo of the protagonist that would have the help of the heaven and earth, would all be given to him in another form...including the naive and love-brained version of Joan of Arc. As long as he had that idea, he would definitely fall for her under the instigation of Alaya.

And the goal of everything is very clear.

That is, just like Sieg, choose to sacrifice yourself at the last moment and solve the trouble that Alaya intends to deal with.

Yes, the restraining force Alaya wanted him to die - after devoting himself to his end, burning himself out, and giving up everything, he would disappear from this world.

but.

"Unfortunately, this plan missed one thing..."

Xia Yan roared in his heart.

"...System, let me see your limits!!"

Then, he clenched the two golden wheels and earrings in his hands, and practiced the refining technique on them, using them as magic weapons... and refined them on the spot.

(PS: I'd like to clarify that the remaining one-third of the spirit base of this offending Heroic Spirit is not the Apocalypse Knight's... The "framed" psychological words in the text are meant to be sarcastic, but the target of the sarcasm is not the pigeon spirit, and they are also stating the truth. This is related to the identity of the final one-third of the spirit base... But I still won't reveal the mystery so quickly~)

What are the Noble Phantasms of the Fate series?

Xia Yan vaguely remembered that one of the most original settings of the Noble Phantasm was that it was the crystallization of human desire for miracles, and it was a weapon built with human fantasy as its framework.

It can be said that, with the exception of a very small number of Noble Phantasms like the Scabbard of Avalon that have survived in physical form, all the Noble Phantasms that appeared in the Holy Grail War were brought into the world by Heroic Spirits.

As for the Heroic Spirits that descended as Servants, strictly speaking, they were not their 'real bodies', but merely 'copies' of the records in the Throne of Heroes.

Just like in the singularities of the first FGO, Mordred, who appeared in F/A, also has a role and exists in both the fourth and sixth singularities. In the fourth singularity, he is Gudako's ally and has memories from the F/A world line, but in the sixth singularity, he is an enemy summoned by the deified King Slowpoke of the Holy Spear Longomyniad and has no memory of the fourth singularity at all.

The Noble Phantasms of Heroic Spirits are similar.

Therefore, the Noble Phantasms of Heroic Spirits can be destroyed by external forces during the Holy Grail War, such as Diarmuid's magic spear [Yellow Rose of Destruction] in F/Z. They can also be selectively separated from the spiritual base from which they descended by the will of the Heroic Spirit and given to others.

But this transfer will definitely not be permanent.

Xia Yan knew this very well.

After realizing that it was the choice of Alaya who suppressed his power that led to Karna becoming his 'grandfather who passed on his skills', he knew that Alaya, one of the two biggest idiots in Type-Moon, would never be kind enough to let him possess a defensive treasure like the Sun Armor permanently.

After all, Alaya just wants to push itself to solve the problem, and will not create another possible trouble in order to solve the problem.

Therefore, the Sun Disc Armor that Karna gave him can be used, but there must be restrictions on the number of times he can use it and the time he can hold it.

As expected, after performing the refining technique to inject his own Tai Chi energy into the two golden wheels and earrings, Xia Yan felt that his magic power was accepted by the golden wheels and earrings without any hindrance.

Then, he sensed that the golden wheel and earrings contained a special energy. Even without his injection of magic power, the golden wheel and earrings as treasures could activate spontaneously, but they were like floating duckweed, and once they were exhausted, there would be no replenishment.

However, perhaps because it was Karna's subjective will that gave them away, the golden wheel and earrings did not resist his magic power. Xia Yan easily refined and permeated them thoroughly with his magic power through the refining spell.

Since the treasure is essentially a weapon made with human imagination as its skeleton, after being refined by Xia Yan, the golden wheel and earrings can be directly connected to his mind, and he does not need to use the spirit gathering spell anymore.

And when both the refining and spirit gathering steps are considered completed.

The interface of the magic weapon system immediately popped up in front of Xia Yan's eyes. A brand new image record appeared on it, with a line of words listed below.

【Sun Wheel Armor】

The next moment, as a thought came to his mind, the golden wheel and earrings suddenly decomposed into a shining golden light, spreading along his arms and finally covering his entire body.

After a few breaths, the sun-like light dissipated from Xia Yan's body until no trace remained.

But Xia Yan could feel that as long as he needed it, the shining golden light would light up again at any time and cover his whole body again, just like a protective divine light, isolating almost all external hostile interference. Even if it could not be completely isolated, it would be reduced to one tenth.

At the same time, this "body-protecting divine light" also has a powerful healing ability. Any injury on his body, even a fatal one, can be healed as long as it does not kill him instantly.

Moreover, after being refined by Xia Yan, this golden armor formed by light itself became a "magic weapon" recognized by the system, and he could drive and charge it at any time through his own Tai Chi energy.

In other words.

The ownership is completely his.

Even if Karna were summoned again as a Servant, he would only "copy" the corresponding Noble Phantasm information from the records of the Throne of Heroes and bring it down within his spirit base, rather than taking back the one that was gifted to him and has now been refined into a magical weapon.

This also means that the restraining force Alaya's secret interference, not only failed to steal the chicken but also lost the rice, and ended up being taken away for free by him, the time traveler.

What's more, after refining the [Sun Wheel Armor] and becoming a little familiar with this magic weapon and its various functions as a treasure.

Xia Yan looked up and forward, ignoring the marks left on the ground by the dragon holding the forty-meter-long lightning sword, but instead looked directly at a golden card floating in the air above Karna's original position.

Just like the night he entered this 'copy' world and killed Jack the Ripper, when Karna was killed by him personally, a dropped item also appeared.

Xia Yan walked forward and reached out to grab the card which had a portrait of a spear class on the back and a golden spear on the front.

Immediately afterwards, the golden card disappeared in a golden light, and the magic weapon system page in front of him once again recorded a brand new image, and as usual, attached a line of text below it.

[Immortal Blade]

The sacred spear held by Karna.

If we say that Karna's [Sun Disc Armor] is the strongest "shield" in the plot and setting of F/A.

Then, the [Immortal Blade] held by Karna is the strongest 'spear' in the plot and setting of F/A.

This divine spear alone has three different Noble Phantasms: [Brahma, Cover the Earth], which can be used as an anti-military Noble Phantasm, and can be transformed into a projectile that tracks down the enemy and is sure to hit.

Pouring magic power into the divine spear, imbuing it with a blazing effect and projecting it with a radiant avalanche of destructive power, its performance is comparable to that of a nuclear weapon, the anti-national treasure [Brahma, curse my body];

And, by abandoning and disassembling the [Sun Armor], at the cost of losing the golden armor, he released a spear of annihilation composed of lightning, an anti-god treasure [Sun, Submit to Death] that is enough to dissolve all concepts except "the world."

Now, Karna's strongest 'spear' and 'shield' have become his own magic weapons. As long as he has the intention, he can take out the [Sun Wheel Armor] and [Immortal Spear] at any time to cosplay the little sun himself.

Even more, you can sacrifice the [Sun Armor] to amplify the [Lance of Immortality] and activate [Sun, Submit to Death] on the spot to launch a powerful attack.

Even if you have prepared yourself mentally in advance.

But looking at the images of the [Sun Wheel Armor] and [Immortal Spear] recorded on the magic weapon system page, Xia Yan still felt a sense of unreality.

There weren't any hard battles.

Even after summoning Medea Lily, he specifically asked her to start making the mythical potion that Jason had used to deal with Karna, but she could not use it.

Karna, the biggest boss in this "copy" world that we thought we would have to fight sooner or later, was gone just like that.

And he also obtained in one fell swoop two treasures that Karna had never dared to think about before.

"This is really... Brother Zheng touched the wires, and Ying is numb~!"

Question: What kind of treatment do the protagonists of traditional suspense novels receive?

Answer: God’s own son.

Ordinary people may not be able to imagine what kind of bug this kind of people are.

Not to say that everything goes smoothly, but no matter what happens, what can you do? Even if you encounter difficulties and obstacles that are huge in the eyes of others, you can often turn danger into safety and get a series of unreasonable help.

For example: an old man teaching you martial arts skills, a beautiful woman who throws herself at you for no apparent reason, and a powerful enemy who turns against you and helps you before dying...

As for the treatment of the male protagonist Sieg in F/A, there is no doubt that he is a typical protagonist of a cool novel. Even if the ending is that he transforms into a dragon and drags the Holy Grail into the inner sea of ​​the stars, and lives a long lonely life from then on, it is not a big deal for Sieg, an artificial human who was born not long ago and whose mind is just matured to a certain extent by the pre-input knowledge and memories, and who is not even a full moon old.

I guess it won’t work if I change someone else.

At least, Xia Yan was very sure that even if he got Zig's script, he would never be able to stay alone in the inner sea of ​​​​the stars for a long time.

That being said.

Except for the ending, the treatment of F/A's Sieg scenario in other stages is really good. Even if you have already got the real deal, you can still make some extra money by relying on the mechanism of this MMO system.

Even though he brought 'Irena' back to the magic base where Medea Lily had hidden herself, ending the night when the original plot completely collapsed, Xia Yan still felt a sense of unreality.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing."

Seeing Medea Lily, who was busy making the mythical potion, taking the time to express her concern for him, Xia Yan hesitated for a moment but did not stop her work.

Now that Karna has been eliminated and he has obtained the treasure [Sun Armor], he no longer needs to use the mythical potion that Medea Lily made specifically to deal with Karna.

All I can say is that plans cannot keep up with changes.

But Medea Lily had already started working for quite some time, and this girl, who appeared in the world with the age and mind of a 14-year-old, but had all the memories of 'her' life, had almost devoted herself to this work after hearing Xia Yan's previous oath that he would 'never betray you' even if it meant consuming three Command Spells.

If he suddenly told her at this moment that the enemy he had originally needed Jason's mythical potion to deal with had voluntarily withdrawn from the Holy Grail War not long ago, and that he had also received the other party's legacy, so the mythical potion she had made would no longer be needed, she could stop working...

...Well, it's hard to say whether this practice, which seems to be playing with the feelings of young girls, will cause Medea Lily to turn evil on the spot, and then actively adjust her spiritual base to turn herself into the betrayal witch who is at the lowest point in her life when she grows up and stabs herself.

Even if the possibility is low, it is better not to stop it just in case. What's more, we have the mythical potion that Jason used, which is better than nothing at the moment when the plot is collapsing.

What followed was a night of silence.

After returning to Medea Lily's magic camp and resting for a night.

It was noon the next day.

The encrypted satellite phone that Xia Yan carried with him was dialed again.

But this time it wasn't him who called, but Fiore who called.

After all, last night, Yogdomilenia had its main base wiped out by a wave of enemies, losing almost all of its androids, as well as the clay golem troops that the black-level magician Avisbronn had been continuously producing and mass-producing since he summoned them into the world, and also lost Vlad III, the main C hero. Therefore, Xia Yan was not surprised that they couldn't wait to contact their "ally" after dawn.

"Hello, Mr. Xia Yan, sorry to bother you."

However, her voice revealed lingering fatigue and confusion. It was obvious that Fiore, only 19 years old, had not been able to sleep well after the incident last night. However, during the call, she still forced herself to speak in an elegant and polite tone, saying:

"I hope you didn't get into any trouble later last night."

"There is really no trouble, on the contrary there are surprises."

"Ok?"

"Lancer is dead."

"Ah! Our Lancer did indeed..."

"No, I'm not saying your Lancer is dead."

"...You mean the Red Team's Lancer is dead!"

Fiore let out a cry of surprise, and Xia Yan heard a noisy noise coming from the other end of the line besides her voice.

"Yes, Fiore—shortly after I contacted you yesterday, the red team's Lancer was eliminated, right in front of me."

"You killed the Lancer from the Red Team?"

Because Karna had voluntarily revealed his real name when fighting Siegfried, the Yugdomilenian Masters such as Danic and Fiore had long known the true identity of this Lancer-class Servant from the opposing camp who was able to fight the dragon-slaying hero in "The Song of the Nibelungs" for an entire night without a clear winner.

Lancer Vlad III of their camp had just died in battle last night. Now, hearing the news that this enemy Servant who was as powerful as their own Saber Siegfried was eliminated, whether it was Fiore who was communicating with the satellite phone, or the Masters of Eugene and Mirenia led by Danic who were by her side, as well as the Heroic Spirits who escaped with the Masters, all felt a shock.

"To be precise, he came here on his own to 'seek death'. Before leaving, he even revealed to me all the key information he knew about the Red Army."

"How can this be?"

"That's the truth. Lancer not only came here to 'seek death,' but this choice was not stopped by his Master. And do you know what he said to me?"

A smile appeared on Xia Yan's face.

(* ￣︶￣)

A smile from Spoiler Dog.

"The Red Lancer Karna told me that his true Master had been murdered and was being controlled by someone else. His previous attack on Ruler was not ordered by his Master, but by someone else. The same is true for the other Servants in the Red camp."

"And the person giving him orders wasn't just the Red Team Assassin's Master, they also illegally summoned a Heroic Spirit with the class Avenger. Last night's bombardment and attack, as well as the NPC zombie soldiers that occupied your castle, were all caused by that illegally summoned Heroic Spirit."

"That person is the overseer of the Holy Church, a young man with brown skin and white hair named Amakusa Shiro. But Karna said that there's something wrong with this Master. He has an aura very similar to that of a Heroic Spirit in this world, as if he doesn't belong to a human living in this era..."

"What did you say--!"

An adult male's voice suddenly rang out over the communication line.

"uncle?"

"Give me the phone."

"Ah, yes."
