『 At this moment, the scene on the screen continued to play.
The scene had now arrived at the basement of a certain villa.
In this basement, all the viewers naturally recognized it at a glance.
It seemed that the summoning ritual had just concluded!
Soon, a magus appeared on the screen.
And this magus was the participant of this Holy Grail War—Jester Karture.
This was the name of this magus...
However, besides his identity as a magus, he also possessed another unknown identity—a Dead Apostle.
Vampiric species are a general term for creatures that live by consuming the blood of living beings.
"Dead Apostles" and "True Ancestors" are also categorized as such.
Most vampires are Dead Apostles, essentially humans transformed through certain processes.
Originally, they were emergency food prepared by True Ancestors.
True Ancestors would prepare humans in advance to prevent them from being unable to suppress their bloodsucking urges. To prevent them from escaping, they would consume their blood and place them under their control.
And the humans whose blood was consumed would also become a vampiric species like the True Ancestors, and would be driven as an immortal emergency food for the True Ancestors.
Thus, they became Dead Apostles, whose meaning is precisely "apostles who have died."
However, some Dead Apostles, feeling the superiority of the act of bloodsucking, strengthened their consciousness.
Then, the Dead Apostles who escaped the True Ancestors' control fled into human society, repeating the act of bloodsucking to perpetuate themselves.
The first Dead Apostles to escape the True Ancestors' control were called the Twenty-Seven Ancestors. Some of these twenty-seven have undergone generational changes, while some still lead their clans as Ancestors!
And Jester Karture was not a great figure like one of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors, but he was indeed a member of the Dead Apostles.
Due to his nature of denying human history, he was difficult to harm by ordinary humans, but had less resistance to the armaments of the Holy Church.
At this moment, he looked at everything before him with confusion.
Undoubtedly, his summoning ritual had indeed succeeded.
The next task was to give an affirmative answer to the question posed by the Servant.
But... for some reason, he felt a strange sense of incongruity.
And the surrounding magi were guarding him!
At this moment, at the center of the magic circle, an extremely powerful pressure emanated!
This was the Heroic Spirit Jester had summoned in this Holy Grail War.
It was a woman dressed in a dark robe!
However, if one were to underestimate her because of this, they would suffer greatly!
The aura emanating from her was terrifying and profound!
It could be said to be a visibly powerful Heroic Spirit!
However, Jester now felt a strong sense of disharmony.
He wanted to summon an Assassin.
But to call a Heroic Spirit emanating such a terrifying aura an Assassin?
Wasn't this a bit off?
"I heard he should be wearing a white skull mask..."
According to the moral intelligence from the previous two Holy Grail Wars.
The Heroic Spirit he summoned should be wearing a dark robe and a skull mask that concealed his face.
But for some reason, the Heroic Spirit he summoned, although dressed in black, was not wearing a white mask, and he could even glimpse her true face...
This naturally caused a hint of doubt to surge within him.
Just as he was about to say something, the Heroic Spirit on the screen spoke.
"I ask you..."
As these words fell, a terrifying sense of intimidation also emanated from this Heroic Spirit.
At the same time, she raised her gaze.
Her eyes were incredibly clear, as if they could see through people's hearts.
"Are you... the magus who summoned me... to obtain the Holy Grail...?" 』
『 .....』
At this moment, Heroic Spirits, Magus, and Magicians in all the worldlines watched everything on the screen with immense curiosity.
〜In the Worldline of the ██████, Chaldea〜
Olga Marie looked at everything on the screen with curiosity.
"It seems the Heroic Spirit summoned this time should be an Assassin. But it's quite a surprise, such a beautiful girl."
Hearing these words, Romani sighed helplessly.
"That being said, don't underestimate her. Although it's unclear if she has any connection to that cult, the powerful aura emanating from her is not weak at all!"
Romani also watched everything on the screen with immense curiosity.
To be honest, at this moment, he also somewhat doubted if the Heroic Spirit on the screen was truly an Assassin.
His mind kept racing, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any information about her.
—
〜In the Worldline of the Fourth Holy Grail War〜
Hassan of the Hundred Faces also looked at everything on the screen with immense surprise.
She couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"No way... that person would actually respond to the Holy Grail War!?"
An incredulous voice echoed, and at the same time, she immediately focused her attention on the group chat.
As expected.
At this moment, the Hassans were indeed discussing in the group.
—
〜Chat Room〜
[ Hassan of the Cursed Arm (Assassin): Ah!? Am I seeing things? That woman would actually respond to the Holy Grail War's summons. In that woman's eyes, shouldn't all these guys be heretics! ]
[ Hassan of Serenity (Assassin): ...It's truly incredible. I didn't expect the most terrifying Hassan to be summoned. It seems this Holy Grail War is indeed quite something. ]
[ Fujimaru Ritsuka: The most terrifying Hassan... tell me more, I'm genuinely curious now. ]
[ Hassan of Serenity (Assassin): That woman's name is Zealot, and she is a more powerful existence than all the other Hassans, except for the First One! ]
[ Hundred-faced Hassan (Assassin): Although I don't really want to admit it, it's a fact. After all, that guy, based on her own understanding, learned about seventy percent of all Hassan's secret techniques! ]
[ Red A ⦍Emiya Archer⦎:: ??? Wait, hearing that, does that mean this guy possesses all of Hassan's Noble Phantasms? ]
[ Hassan of the Cursed Arm (Assassin): Yes, that woman has the ability to freely transform her body to reproduce the miracles of all 18 of us Hassans! In other words, fighting her is equivalent to fighting all of us Hassans! ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
Hearing this explanation, all the viewers were completely stunned.
Although they already knew that the Heroic Spirits appearing in this Holy Grail War were all extraordinary.
But they didn't expect even Assassin to be so terrifying!
An Assassin possessing the secret techniques of 18 Hassans.
This was probably the most powerful Assassin, aside from the Grand Servant!
As all the viewers discussed, the content on the screen continued to play.
—
『 "Are you... the magus who summoned me... to obtain the Holy Grail...?"
"Yes, you are correct. I am—" Just as the words fell.
A terrifying surge of magical energy immediately erupted from Zealot.
The next second, under the incredible gaze of all the viewers.
The Heroic Spirit on the screen whispered!
"...ZABANIYA—!"
( Delusional Heartbeat )
The moment the words fell, Jester felt a pang of pain, as if something was touching his chest.
So he couldn't help but look down.
Under the incredulous gazes of all the viewers, a red object extended to Jester's chest, and that object grasped another equally crimson object!
This was Jester's heart!
The next second.
With a thud.
Jester, having lost his heart, fell without exception.
Seeing this scene, the magi present immediately became agitated.
"Wh—!"
Before they could take any action, the Heroic Spirit on the screen once again performed an action that surprised everyone.
Another powerful surge of magical energy erupted from Zealot.
Then, a third red arm abruptly appeared behind her back—
In just an instant, it had already reached the magus who had spoken.
The next second, a heart immediately appeared in that red hand, and then it was crushed.
"You—you bastard! What did you do to Jester-sama?"
"Aren't you a Servant?"
At this moment, everyone present had expressions of fear on their faces.
At the same time, they also began to activate their magic circuits, preparing to launch an attack on the Heroic Spirit before them.
Facing this scene, Zealot merely replied indifferently.
"Our God... does not possess the Holy Grail..."
The moment the words fell, a magus behind her immediately took action.
He immediately moved behind Zealot, intending to use the magical artifact in his hand to eliminate Zealot.
However, this was a Heroic Spirit. If she were so easily eliminated, that would be a huge joke!
Not to mention Zealot, who was an extremely powerful existence among the Hassans!
She naturally noticed the actions of these people at once.
With a crunch...
Under everyone's incredulous gazes, Zealot's shoulder immediately deformed and twisted.
Then, her left hand, which had wrapped around her back at an abnormal angle, gently caressed the man's head, and at the same time, she spoke with an incredibly cold voice.
"ZABANIYA—!"
( Cyber Phantasy )
In just the blink of an eye.
The man's head became like a bomb, and after a fierce explosion echoed through his body, accompanied by scattered flames.
Seeing this scene, all the magi present couldn't help but feel afraid.
They had now determined that even if they used all their means, they could not eliminate the Heroic Spirit before them!
And facing these frightened magi, Zealot merely said indifferently.
"ZABANIYA—!"
( Ichor of Reverie )
This voice was like the arrival of the Grim Reaper!
The next second, the scene on the screen shifted.
At this moment, the entire basement was filled with silence.
Only the bodies of a few magi told of what had just happened.
After doing all this, Zealot also spoke with an incredibly cold voice.
"Must eliminate... heretical magi..." 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
At this moment, Heroic Spirits and magi from all worlds looked at everything on the screen with immense surprise.
Although they had already learned the true identity of the Heroic Spirit on the screen through the group chat.
And they knew that her strength was extraordinary, but they didn't expect it to be so strong!
And as soon as she was summoned, she eliminated her Master.
Good heavens, this could be said to be the most arrogant Assassin they had ever seen.
With this kind of action, if they covered up her class, they really wouldn't believe she was an Assassin. If you said she was a Berserker, it would even be more convincing.

〜In the Worldline of the Fifth Holy Grail War〜
Cú Chulainn looked at everything on the screen, a look of excitement on his face.
"Oh oh... I see, those Hassans in the group didn't lie. This might indeed be the most powerful Hassan beside that Old man."
He had to admit the strength displayed by the beautiful woman on the screen.
Extremely terrifying...
In this short period of time, she had activated several Noble Phantasms, and this was probably just the tip of the iceberg for Zealot.
"I'm really looking forward to the Heroic Spirits that will appear next!"
And at this moment in the group chat.
—
〜Chat Room〜
[ Iskandar (Rider): It seems Hassan's strength is indeed extraordinary. To be able to activate several Noble Phantasms in such a short time, she's much stronger than the one I encountered before. ]
[ Hundred-faced Hassan (Assassin): After all, this guy uses the abilities of all 18 of us Hassans, so she's naturally quite strong. ]
[ Tohsaka Rin: Don't tell me—could it be that Zealot and Jack used the wrong Spirit Origin? Zealot, are you truly the real Berserker!? ]
[ Waver Velvet: Although this Heroic Spirit is indeed surprising, it still feels a bit insufficient. I wonder who the next Heroic Spirit to appear will be? ]
[ .....]
Just as all the viewers were discussing animatedly, the scene on the screen shifted again.
『 In the original basement.
"Heh ha."
A sound actually echoed in this basement, which had originally been dead silent!
"HEH HA! HEH HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Oh my! What a surprise! The Holy Grail actually summoned such an incredible heretic!"
As these words just fell.
The already dead Jester actually sprang up like a spring.
At the same time, the light of a Command Spell emanated from his hand.
The existence named Jester resurrected from the dead under the incredible gazes of all the viewers!
As if savoring everything that had just happened, Jester spoke with excitement.
"So beautiful... lovely? Mellow? Seductive, versatile, charming, picturesque, cute.
No, this won't do. I have so much time, I should study poetry more carefully! I can't find words to describe her conviction!"
Excited and perverse voices echoed!
From his voice, one could tell that he was extremely surprised and joyful in his heart at this moment.
As these words fell, he immediately unbuttoned his shirt.
All the viewers clearly saw.
On his chest, there was a magical tattoo, completely different from a Command Spell.
Six red patterns.
The pattern on the left side of his chest had become completely black.
At the same time, his expression had also changed.
"To be able to so easily slaughter the conceptual core of a magus! As a magus, I was not careless! However, this is meaningless! Even an existence far more powerful than me can only return to nothingness before that arm!"
As these words were spoken, Jester also revealed an expression of pleasure.
"It seems I don't have to feel bored with this world yet... That beautiful Assassin! Her conviction! How can it fade from the stage of history anonymously!"
"Impossible! Who would allow such a waste to happen!"
"Let me bestow a name upon you! Let that beautiful face, soul, power, conviction... be polluted, defiled, debased, subjugated, corrupted! Is there any pleasure greater than this!"
"It will surely be delightful! It will surely be illusory! It will surely be beautiful! That expression on the beautiful Assassin's face when she kneels, her faith shattered, her power drained!"
As these words were spoken, the shadow beneath his feet extended.
It was an incredibly deep crimson shadow, the same color as the tattoo that appeared on the man's body.
In just an instant, that shadow had already entwined the surrounding dead bodies.
Under the incredible gazes of all the viewers, the bodies of those magi were actually absorbed!
At the same time, the color of that shadow shone with an even deeper brilliance.
"The Holy Grail? World destruction? Indeed, equally wonderful! I admit it! But it's insignificant! Compared to her despair, it's like dust and specks!"
Jester revealed the same pleased expression as Kirei Kotomine and Gilgamesh, and let out a sneer! 』
