"Therefore, we need allies, even if it's just a superficial relationship. When interests are involved, even deep-seated hatred will be suppressed, let alone 'ideals' that have transcended all hatred."

Even before those "cleaners" that might be summoned by the Restraint Force actually appeared, Lin Yi had already prepared himself as an "ally" for the worst. What was about to appear were not helpers of the Restraint Force, but merely "nutrients" to make the pseudo-Holy Grail the true Holy Grail—just kill them if you want.

Originally, Lin Yi wanted to recruit more helpers in the same way, but apart from Kiritsugu Emiya, the other magicians in this Holy Grail War were either simply trying to prove themselves or wanted to reach the Root. These were wishes that could be fulfilled by the pseudo-Holy Grail, so even if they were recruited, it would be meaningless.

"So, we can only see how much our 'partners in justice' are willing to pay for this justice."

Recalling Kiritsugu Emiya's life and past, Lin Yi stretched out his palm towards the magic circle that was flashing with an eerie red light—

"Declaration"

Magical Mysteries: Chapter 180 Terminator

In theory, the Holy Grail War that took place in Fuyuki City could have included more than just the seven classes: Saber, Archer, Rider, Lancer, Assassin, Caster, and Berserker. There might also have been special classes like Ruler and A. Venger. However, in reality, the probability of them appearing is quite low, at least not in this Fourth Holy Grail War—as it should have been.

Class: Terminator

Real name: Atomic Bomb

Attribute: Absolutely Neutral

Strength: E-

Durability: E-

Agile: E-

Magic: E-

Luck: E-

Noble Phantasm: E-

Class Ability: Civilization Destroyer (EX) deals 2x MC damage to all races and creations within range that possess the concept of civilization.

Eco Destroyer (EX) increases the duration of its destructive effects on natural areas within range by 2 times in Minecraft.

The effects of World's Enemy (EX) on its area of ​​effect are unaffected by any force outside the laws of physics.

Capability: Radiation (A+++)

High temperature (A+++)

Plasma (A+++)

Particle Flow (A++)

Shockwave (A+++)

Noble Phantasm: Nuclear Fission (???) Matter within the radiation range undergoes secondary fission according to the mass-energy equivalence equation (e=mc²).

Magic rule fusion progress: 0.07%

The biggest point about magic and science is that magic allows all things that science does not allow to exist to appear in reality in a way that bypasses the limitations of physical rules. Following this principle, when a nuclear bomb is amplified by the knowledge and mystery of billions of people, the increase it receives in the magical realm completely exceeds the limits that the physical rules that created it can reach—just as primitive people could not imagine that a mushroom cloud would rise on the land they lived on in the future.

Whether it was the person who discovered the formula e=mc², the person who applied it to weapons, or the person who manipulated magic and sorcery through mystery and legend, no one could have imagined what kind of despairing "existence" would be born when these things that should not be related were linked together in such a way.

“I should have thought of that sooner… Since heroic spirits are formed based on the legends of their lives, how could they not have this formula—this data?”

e=mc2, the mass-energy equivalence equation, is not only the foundation for the use of nuclear energy but also the starting point for the detonation of the atomic bomb. It is this formula that completely revealed the connection between energy and mass, and also opened another Pandora's box, different from life viruses.

Even in an ordinary parallel world without magic, it could easily dominate the continuation of a civilization, let alone now that it has been amplified in another field. When the two combine, what is ultimately born is this "beast" that is capable of overthrowing everything. Fortunately, it is currently locked in a cage—even if it is just a cage in the hands of an invader from another world.

At this very moment, outside Einzbern Castle, the three kings of the fallen kingdoms still boast about their ways of ruling. Assassins lurking in the shadows painstakingly try to probe these three "kings" for any possible weaknesses, while the magicians manipulating the situation behind the scenes scheme and plot against each other. All they do is try to reach the source, completely unaware that what they pursue, fantasize about, and crave is already facing a catastrophic crisis of destruction...

----------segmentation----------

Unsurprisingly, almost the instant "Terminator" was successfully summoned to Einzbern Castle as a "Heroic Spirit," its existence was captured by the planet's will: it might be difficult to find an ant if it were stuffed into a room, but stuffing in a bomb is a completely different concept.

However, unlike the situation encountered when the Reincarnators were deployed before, the Counter Force obviously could not immediately mobilize the human organizations under its control to enter the city and eliminate the "intruders" because of the Holy Grail War. In addition, the "Terminator" used a "smuggling" method similar to Eve's, which took advantage of the loopholes in the rules of the Holy Grail War, so it could not immediately transfer its base to target the enemy - unless it intended to target the entire Holy Grail War and every Heroic Spirit summoned in this Holy Grail War.

Perhaps the restraint will do so at the last moment, but it is clearly not yet at the point where it is worth paying such a price to eliminate the "Terminator". The so-called "magical nuclear bomb" cannot be used immediately after being summoned. If it were, it might not even reach the explosive power of a normal 100000-ton TNT equivalent. This nuclear warhead, which incorporates the element of "magic", has gained the mystery and legend of billions of people, but on the other hand, it has also greatly extended the time required to integrate these perceptions.

For the other Heroic Spirits summoned to Fuyuki City, fusing mystery and legend into power that can be projected into reality may only take an instant, but given the current fusion speed and efficiency of "Terminator," it will take at least three days to complete.

"In other words, must we hold out for three days?"

Looking at the fusion progress, which had barely jumped from 0.07% to 1.21% in nearly half an hour since it was summoned, Lin Yi frowned slightly.

In the empty space where Lin Yi was waiting, the Three Kings' Party at Einzbern Castle ended in a less than satisfactory manner. Apart from the Knight King, the other two kings, who had left behind many legends in history, extolled their own theories—which seemed to be no different from what Lin Yi had told Emiya Kiritsugu before. They were basically using all sorts of crooked and unorthodox methods to justify themselves and force the other party to believe that what they possessed was nothing more than "incorrect ideas." In this respect, Saber was clearly not as good as Archer and Rider. At least throughout the entire party, she was the only one who passively endured the shock of others' values.

However, compared to these pointless discussions, Lin Yi was more concerned about the third Servant to leave the stage in this Holy Grail War.

It's unclear whether the Assassin's Master was overconfident or if this Assassin-class Servant had lost his mind. Despite being a Servant primarily focused on assassination, he insisted on standing in public, directly confronting three Servants who were clearly having a great time chatting. In this situation, even if Lin Yi wanted Eve to save him, it wouldn't work. He could only watch helplessly as the Assassin, who had multiple clones, was eliminated in a single charge by the Rider's Reality Marble, becoming the third "seat" for the Counter Force to intervene in this Holy Grail War, after Berserker and Lancer.

The Mysteries of Magic: Chapter 181, Day One (Part 1)

Just like the twisted logic Lin Yi used to persuade Kiritsugu Emiya, within the rules of the Holy Grail War, there are seven fixed classes of regular Servants available: Saber, Archer, Rider, Caster, Lancer, Assassin, and Berserker. Servants other than these seven classes are not unsummonable, but even if they are summoned, they will only be illegal Servants.

In essence, their existence is similar to Eve's "smuggling," except that the main god space, as an invader of the world, needs to be wary of the rejection and targeting of the suppressive force, while these unconventional heroic spirits often need to be careful of the elimination process within the Holy Grail War mechanism.

According to this rule, since it is impossible to physically transfer combat power from outside Fuyuki City, the only way for the Counterforce to eliminate the "Terminator" in the shortest time is through the normal Heroic Spirit summoning mode, which conforms to the Holy Grail War mechanism.

Replace those disqualified and retired classes with different Servants, letting them return to the stage with the same class. However, this time their ultimate goal is no longer to seize the Holy Grail; it's merely for—

Eliminate the intruder.

He explained the current situation to Eve and "Terminator"... To be precise, he was only explaining it to Eve. After all, for the latter, even with the class of "Terminator," a violating Servant, its essence remained unchanged: a one-time-use weapon of destruction. As a pure weapon, it naturally had no thoughts and needed no explanation; it only needed to be detonated when necessary.

Based on the Servants who have already left the stage, the Servants that may appear in the next three days belonging to the Counter Force include Lancer, Berserker, and Assassin. Of course, it is possible that Archer, Rider, or Saber might leave the stage midway, increasing the number of Servants that the Counter Force can summon. However, in the short term, the only thing to be wary of is the Servants that are about to appear.

In the long run... if "man-made disasters" cannot be resolved, then it will naturally be left to "natural disasters".

Lin Yi didn't explain this to Eve, since it wouldn't make much difference anyway—the biggest difference between "natural disasters" and "man-made disasters" lies in their unpredictability, let alone "natural disasters" caused by the planet's will itself. It's completely unknown when or how they will be triggered by life. It would be strange if they could be predicted like humans predict typhoons and rainstorms.

However, it seems that he doesn't need to take any action against these unpredictable "natural disasters".

The effects of World's Enemy (EX) on its area of ​​effect are unaffected by any force outside the laws of physics.

This EX-rank ability, enhanced by mystery and legend, allows the "Terminator" to largely ignore the influence of magical elements beyond the laws of physics. Therefore, in the end, the only real threat is the Heroic Spirits summoned by the Counter Force—their very existence is undeniably a product of magic, but that doesn't prevent them from using the laws of physics to destroy the "Terminator," such as by putting it in a rocket and launching it into outer space…

According to the various records collected, the "scavengers" summoned by the Counter Force are its most common means of preventing humans from getting close to the Root or eliminating threats to its own existence. There is absolutely no reason not to do so in such a situation.

Currently, our main fighting force consists of you and the Einzbern faction. The good thing about the Archer and Rider sides is that they don't interfere with each other. In other words, it only takes two against three for three days to hold out.

Based on the reserves of conventional "magical devices" that were previously "summoned," this should not be a problem.

This thought persisted until the twelfth hour after the "Terminator" was summoned.

World 4, Narumi City.

The fifth day of the Holy Grail War.

[Unconventional energy fluctuations detected, number three]

"What about distance and intensity?"

[Detection is interfered with, unable to capture specific values]

Catching the three blurry outlines projected onto the edge of the Fuyuki City map on his retina, Lin Yi frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he decided against letting Eve test the waters first and instead notified his only "ally" at the moment.

----------segmentation----------

World Number Ten, Fuyuki City, Einzbern Castle.

The call ended three minutes later.

"...Does your father really believe in this magician?"

"The Holy Grail War takes place once every sixty years."

Instead of immediately answering Maiya's question directly, the Magician Killer gazed at the area where new "Lancer," "Berserker," and "Assassin" were said to have appeared: "If we fail this time, there won't be a second chance. We have no choice, Maiya."

"I understand. What's the next step?"

"First, confirm whether the Servants who have already left the field have been resummoned. If it is confirmed to be the same as what the Caster's master said, then proceed with the next steps."

If things were different—this was a hypothetical scenario that Kiritsugu Emiya didn't intend to bring up, and Maiya, who was preparing, didn't press the matter. After all, if that situation really occurred, the two sides would have no choice but to fight to the death, a point that was obvious even without being explicitly stated.

"Let Saber test the waters first. If any unexpected situation arises, I will summon her using a Command Spell."

"learn."

----------segmentation----------

—Detect areas where hostile Servants may exist.

The orders conveyed by Maiya were so vague that they displeased the Knight King. With her experience in leading armies in history, she clearly saw in these orders the distrust her Master had for her, which led to the Master choosing not to let her know more information and simply to let her be a weapon to carry out missions—as a weapon, naturally, she did not need to know too much.

Despite their deep loathing for the ruthless man, the knights, adhering to their code of chivalry, followed their contract as heroic spirits and arrived at the designated location, quickly discovering the anomaly.

"Who is it, come out!"

The whirlwind swirling around the blade overturned the bushes on one side, and a figure nimbly dodged before being swept away. Then, the presence that appeared in front of her left the Heroic Spirit, who had been summoned to the Holy Grail War as a swordsman, completely stunned.

"...A new Heroic Spirit?"

"I was hoping to avoid trouble, but since you struck first, you can't blame me—the contract doesn't stipulate that I can't fight back if I'm hit!"

Before she could recover from her shock, the incoming spear forced her to respond. Amidst the clang of sword and spear clashing, the swordsman asked in bewilderment, "Who are you?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, that's the kind of question I should be asking you—"

After another clash, the unseen sword and the visible gun collided with a piercing sound: "You're wielding a weapon that can't be seen by others, and you dare to question someone who uses a gun?"

"...lancer"

The Mysteries of Magic: Chapter 182, Day One (Part 2)

The first confirmed Servant is Lancer—not the one who has already left the stage, but the "newcomer".

"Cú Chulainn, the Son of Light of Ireland..."

Perhaps due to his personality, this Heroic Spirit, summoned by the Counter Force, revealed his true name shortly after his battle with Saber, and is currently still entangled in a fierce battle with Saber.

The problem is, he wasn't with the other two Heroic Spirits.

【Eve, move.】

Without the slightest hesitation upon receiving the order, the girl immediately loaded the program for the Wings of Electricity, intending to leave Einzbern Castle from above—

"—!"

The blade, emerging from the darkness and reflecting the pale moonlight, silently sliced ​​towards the girl's delicate neck. This seemingly divinely inspired strike appeared to have already determined its impact before it even struck, forcing Eve, who had a wide dodge range, to choose the most reckless and inefficient course of action.

"code: diffusion"

The intense light, bursting forth from every angle, met the pale sword light head-on. Even though it only lasted for less than half a second before being neutralized, it bought Eve time to retreat. Through the visual channels of the God Alliance, Lin Yi clearly spotted the assassin below, exposed in the intense light—his face showed no sign of frustration at the failed assassination attempt; on the contrary, quite the opposite…

【landing!】

Unwavering trust played a crucial role at this moment. Almost the instant the order was delivered, Evelyn abandoned the hard-won chance to escape. The forced interruption of the code loading put a huge burden on the energy circuits in her body. The chance to get away from this dangerous assassin was also lost due to the fall of her body again. But the sudden blast of wind that ripped apart her head the next moment confirmed the correctness of her judgment.

"boom------------"

The enormous, axe-like object easily pierced through the two walls along the way, crashing deeply into the ground not far away. Accompanied by a furious roar that echoed throughout the entire castle, the berserker, nearly three times the size of a normal person, smashed through the wall and slowly emerged from the ruins, reaching out to pull out the stone axe "embedded" in the ground.

They don't even need to introduce their class; their identities are immediately apparent from their diverse and distinctive attack styles.

[assassin, berserker]

"It seems you are not surprised by our appearance."

A hint of surprise appeared on his face. It was unclear whether it was because Eve had dodged Berserker's fatal blow or because of her continued lack of reaction to the situation. The second-ranked Assassin once again raised his long, narrow katana and pointed it at them: "In that case, you should be prepared for this situation."

"Roar--------"

There's not much need for verbal communication; everyone is merely a "weapon" to accomplish their mission. Once their positions are determined, it's a life-or-death struggle, and this has never changed, regardless of who's manipulating things behind the scenes.

----------segmentation----------

"Chong-"

The swirling sword blade and the blue spear clashed and separated once more, but instead of regrouping and immediately charging forward as before, Saber abruptly turned back to look in the direction of Einzbern Castle, her expression turning grim.

"Do you have helpers?"
