At this moment, some of the audience immediately knew the true identity of Jester Karture!
〜In the Worldline of the Witch on the Holy Night〜
Aozaki Aoko couldn't help but frown as she watched the screen.
"That guy's true identity is a Dead Apostle?"
As a Magus, Aozaki Aoko was naturally very familiar with Dead Apostles.
At this moment, a very surprised expression appeared on her face.
She had absolutely no idea that a Dead Apostle had infiltrated this Holy Grail War!
Thinking this, she was a little worried about any unexpected events that might occur in this Holy Grail War...

〜Chat Room〜
[ Olga Marie Animusphere: Even though he died, he miraculously came back to life. It seems that no one in this Holy Grail War is simple! ]
[ Romani Archaman: This guy's way of existence... could it be... that kind of thing would also participate in the Holy Grail War?~ ]
[ Emiya Kiritsugu: Dead Apostle... It seems this Holy Grail War is indeed not simple! ]
[ .....]
Just as all the audience members were discussing animatedly, the content on the screen continued to play.
『 At Snowfield Central Hospital.
"...I can only say that it will be very difficult for your daughter to regain consciousness in the future."
Along with these words, a couple appeared on the screen.
The husband and wife couldn't help but look at each other.
"Our daughter has been hospitalized for a full year today... Does this mean her condition has worsened?"
"...No, there haven't been cases of significant physical deterioration. It's just that regarding regaining consciousness, the longer the time drags on, the lower the possibility."
As these words sounded, a young girl also appeared on the screen.
She looked no more than ten years and three months old!
Yet, for some reason, this girl had become a vegetable.
She had lost consciousness, but her body was still slowly growing.
"Although no bacterial mutations have been detected, conversely, this means her brain activity will continue to be obstructed in the future. Although the bacteria haven't caused damage that would lead to brain tissue necrosis, they are slowly obstructing brain activity."
Hearing these words, worried expressions appeared on the couple's faces.
"Is that so..."
"However, it's not entirely impossible. There are cases of patients in a vegetative state regaining consciousness after more than ten years. If we can analyze the bacteria's DNA, it might open up this path, so please don't lose heart."
Hearing this, the girl's father asked something incredibly surprising.
"Regardless of my daughter's consciousness... are her reproductive functions alright?"
The female doctor's head was filled with question marks after hearing these words.
"...Huh?"
Before she could react, the man's voice continued to echo.
"Regarding her ovaries and uterus, in the worst-case scenario, we just hope her ovaries can grow normally. We hope your hospital can help check."
"Eh... no, the lesion only obstructs a part of her brain's activity, so there haven't been any significant abnormalities in her internal organs..."
"Is that so! Oh, that's wonderful! We'll continue to pay the hospitalization fees, and we'll trouble you to look after our daughter in the future!"
"Eh? No, that..."
"We are very grateful, Doctor! Alright, husband, you can finally put your mind at ease now, can't you?"
"Yes, you're right. Let's hurry back and prepare for tonight."
With such excited words, the couple left the hospital.
Only the female doctor was left, looking at the somewhat strange couple with a bewildered expression.
"Honestly... what's wrong with that couple..."
However, the female doctor didn't think too much about it. She just walked over to the little girl she was responsible for and looked at the girl lying on the bed with a determined expression.
"...Even if your parents abandon you, I will never leave you."
Just then, the female doctor let out an incredibly surprised sound.
"...Eh? What is this...? Is this a tattoo...? Who did this?"
She clearly remembered not seeing this mysterious rune before.
What had happened during this time? 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
And at this moment, the Heroic Spirits, Magus, and Magicians in all the worldlines were not calm at all.
The female doctor on the screen didn't know what it was, but they knew better than anyone!
This was a Command Spell from the Holy Grail War.
This meant that this little girl, who was only ten years old, was participating in the Holy Grail War!
And what was even more unimaginable to all the audience at this moment was!
The Servant the little girl summoned had already far exceeded their imagination!
" A Heroic Spirit of the Rider class, capable of overwhelming the entire world in an instant!
His true identity embodied death itself.
The messenger of God, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
In the past, the Black Death claimed thirty million lives, and later, under the guise of the Spanish Flu, it took fifty million more.
An existence that brought death and terror to the world—a Rider known as "Calamity." "
At this moment, the audience was utterly shocked.
None of them could have imagined that this girl would take part in the Holy Grail War!
But now, at last, everyone began to notice the signs.
〜Chat Room〜
[ Romani Archaman: I didn't expect this little girl to participate in the Holy Grail War... but it's probably because of that strange couple. ]
[ Matou Zouken: Hehehe... interesting, very interesting. The girl's body has been implanted with a Magecraft similar to bug magic, which is why she's a vegetable! ]
In fact, everyone's guess was not wrong.
The girl's parents were indeed a pair of Magecraft practitioners.
In order to participate in this Holy Grail War, a certain bacteria was implanted into their daughter Kurouka Tsubaki's body, which is why she was staying in the hospital in a vegetative state.
[ Emiya Shirou: Beasts! This Magecraft practitioner couple actually did such a thing to their own daughter! ]
[ Tohsaka Rin: It's normal, Shirou. I should have told you before, Magus are not human. ]
[ .....]
〜In the Worldline of the Fifth Holy Grail War〜
Tohsaka Rin looked at the screen with a rare expression of anger on her face.
Magus were a group of people who pursued the Root. They studied the mysteries of this world.
No matter what Magecraft they studied, it was all for the ultimate goal of reaching the Root; this was the dream of all Magus.
But what the couple on the screen did was too unexpected for her...
For a moment, intense anger surged within her.
If that Magecraft practitioner couple appeared before her, she would definitely take care of them.

〜Chat Room〜
[ Mash Kyrielight: How could this be... to let a ten-year-old girl participate in such a cruel Holy Grail War... ]
[ Olga Marie Animusphere: This is the cruelty of the Magecraft world, Mash! ]
[ .....]
At this moment, the Heroic Spirits, Magus, and Magicians in all the worldlines thought that the Magecraft practitioner couple wanted their daughter to participate in the Holy Grail War.
In fact, they guessed wrong.
Because although the couple on the screen did such beastly things, they were actually intercepted...
『 At this moment, the scene continued to play.
The scene on the screen came to a desolate world.
All the audience naturally saw at a glance that this was the girl's dream.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I feel pain...!"
The girl's helpless voice echoed.
The magical energy used in her body just now was indeed incredibly vast, beyond ordinary people's imagination.
But as mentioned before, as a vegetable, she had not systematically learned any methods of using Magecraft.
So at this moment, she could only let out a helpless voice...
However, at this very moment, the magic circuits in her body miraculously connected to the Throne of Heroes!
The next second, she spontaneously performed a Heroic Spirit Summoning.
"I'll do well! I'll endure well, well!"
"So don't abandon me! Don't abandon me...!"
The girl's voice kept echoing.
Just then, the girl saw a flash of light.
At the same time, the summoned Heroic Spirit also descended into this world!
Immediately.
Darkness descended on the screen.
An indescribable, strange, chaotic aura appeared in this world.
At the same time, a strange rustling sound echoed.
"I ask you, are you my Master?"
A black shadow, like an embodiment of fear, whispered softly! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
Looking at the Heroic Spirit on the screen, all the audience couldn't help but frown.
They weren't blind; looking at the posture on the screen, it was clear that the Heroic Spirit summoned by the girl was probably not an ordinary Heroic Spirit.

〜In the Worldline of the ██████, Chaldea〜
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia
The Wise King Gilgamesh couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he watched everything on the screen.
Even the arrogant him had to admit that this Heroic Spirit on the screen seemed to be incredibly formidable.
"This strange aura... is it a Heroic Spirit representing death? It's truly surprising, I didn't expect such a Heroic Spirit to appear in this Holy Grail War."
—
〜In the Worldline of the Fate/Strange Fake, Outside of Snowfield, California〜
A beautiful green person looked at the screen.
And this beautiful green person was Enkidu, the Hero King's closest friend.
At this moment, he focused his attention on the screen.
He had to admit that the moment this Heroic Spirit appeared, a sense of dread suddenly arose within him.
"This feeling... is that guy my natural enemy?"
Enkidu quickly reacted.
As the Chain of Heaven, he could be said to have no weaknesses.
Even when facing the world's top Heroic Spirits, he was confident that he could retreat unscathed!
But something that could spontaneously make him feel such dislike and fear...
There was only one such thing!
That is, the very thing that would drive him to [ destruction ] , it could only be a death curse bestowed by the gods.
So at this moment, he was also incredibly curious about the true identity of the Heroic Spirit on the screen.
"What kind of Heroic Spirit is that..."
And at this moment, in the entire group chat, all the audience couldn't help but voice their discussions. 』
『 .....』
〜Chat Room〜
[ Waver Velvet: What's going on with this Heroic Spirit? This is the first time I've encountered such a terrifying Heroic Spirit. ]
[ Artoria Pendragon (Saber): Even the King of Heroes never gave me this much pressure... I feel like this Heroic Spirit might be the most powerful existence in this Holy Grail War. ]
[ Gilgamesh (Archer): Although this King doesn't really want to admit it, I have to say this guy is indeed more powerful than ordinary mongrels. ]
[ Sherlock Holmes (Ruler): I probably have a slight guess about this Heroic Spirit, but I still need other evidence. ]
[ .....]
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, the scene on the screen continued to play.
『 Facing such a Heroic Spirit, the girl's face, on the contrary, showed a happy and curious expression.
"Who are you? I am Kurouka Tsubaki."
Along with these words, the two officially signed a contract.
Kurouka Tsubaki, in this unknown dream, became the Master participating in this false Holy Grail War.
Immediately after, the scene flashed and came to the Magecraft practitioner couple's home.
"Well, it's almost time for Fadius to start his [ promotion ] ."
"The ley lines of the land will soon be full, and then the Command Spells will surely reside in my hand. With that, my preparations will be perfect."
At this moment, the two no longer had the worried expressions they had at the hospital; instead, they were incredibly relaxed.
After all, they had been preparing for this Holy Grail War for a long time.
"You're right, we've prepared a Holy Relic that can be called a Noble Phantasm itself... If anything goes wrong, we can even use that Noble Phantasm directly as a weapon."
And the Holy Relic prepared by this couple was the Holy Relic of that great emperor.
They wanted to summon the first emperor of an ancient eastern country.
However, this was impossible, as their daughter had summoned a Heroic Spirit first.
At this moment, the two were already envisioning a wonderful future.
"Hmm, yes. If we summon that First Emperor, we must be prepared to show appropriate respect."
Just then, black spots mysteriously appeared on the man's arm...
"Hmm...?"
The man had just let out a questioning sound.
The next second.
The man's wife collapsed on the spot like a broken puppet.
This sudden scene instantly made the man panic.
"Hey... hey?"
Just as he was about to run to his wife's side, his vision suddenly distorted.
The next second, the man also followed in his wife's footsteps—
After a brief silence, the couple, whose bodies were still covered in black spots, suddenly got up as if nothing had happened.
"...Speaking of which, today is Tsubaki's birthday."
"That's right, husband, we need to make a cake."
All the audience watched this scene with immense surprise.
They already understood that the couple on the screen had lost their original personalities.
They had become dolls living the life their daughter desired.
"Wow! Thank you! Dad! Mom!"
"You're welcome, Tsubaki, after all, you worked very hard."
"That's right, because you are our beloved treasure."
The daughter, delighted with her gifts, came to the black mist collective standing beside her and smiled.
"Thank you! You're the one who called Dad and Mom here, right!"
Watching such a bizarre scene, all the audience couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
This mysterious ability and those black spots... 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
Made all the audience shudder with fear.
〜Chat Room〜
[ Sherlock Holmes (Ruler): Indeed, the true identity of this Heroic Spirit is... ]
[ Red A ⦍Emiya Archer⦎:: Oh? Has the famous detective already guessed the true identity of the Heroic Spirit on the screen? ]
[ Romani Archaman: Actually, I can probably guess a little too, after all, the characteristics are too obvious: black spots, death, illness... ]
[ .....]
〜In the Worldline of the Fourth Holy Grail War〜
Watching the lively discussion in the group.
Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to have thought of some powerful existence and immediately opened his eyes wide.
"Could it be the Black Death...?"
It erupted in Europe in the mid- 14th century, supposedly brought back by the Crusades from abroad. It broke out on a large scale in Europe, becoming a deadly crisis in medieval Europe.
Mainly spread by rats and fleas, those diagnosed would develop large areas of black blisters, and most people would die within three days of contracting the disease, leading to 70 million deaths and a one-third reduction in Europe's population!
And what could represent this symbol...
That would be the Pale Rider, symbolizing plague and death, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse recorded in the Bible...
