"That crazy fellow has left. It seems tonight should end here. Let's go, little Master!"
Seeing Cú Chulainn leave, the King of Conquerors stroked his beard and took a deep glance at King Solomon before driving his bull-drawn chariot into the sky.
"King Solomon! I shall pay you a personal visit later! Lalalalala~!"
"..."
King Solomon looked up indifferently and reached out his hand, intending to shoot the King of Conquerors down directly.
Suddenly, his pupils constricted, and he quickly jumped back twice while carrying Kayneth.
Boom—
Biu—
A bullet struck the ground where Kayneth had been, and a purple light orb smashed into King Solomon's original position.
"Quick reactions. Did your Clairvoyance see that?"
Kiana withdrew her finger, glanced at the two blurry figures on the distant crane, and then looked at King Solomon with interest.
After letting go of Kayneth, King Solomon looked at Kiana. He did not feel angry about the sneak attack; he simply watched her with cold indifference.
Kiana raised an eyebrow slightly, then took a combat stance and made a provocative gesture toward him.
She would play with this Grand Caster. As a Caster, surely he couldn't be lacking in close-combat skills?
She recalled from her memories that many people called King Solomon the 'King of Fists of Israel'.
King Solomon understood Kiana's intent and subsequently assumed a close-combat stance as well.
Possessing god-given martial arts, he would not be at a disadvantage even without using magecraft...
It should have been so, but—
King Solomon's vision blurred, and Kiana was already before him. With a steady horse stance, she threw an upward diagonal punch.
"Inch Force: Sky Shatter!"
!!!
The punch was so fast that Solomon couldn't dodge in time, forcing him to cross his arms in defense.
A silver-white shockwave passed through Solomon's back. His habitually indifferent expression turned to one of utter astonishment as a trickle of blood slid down the corner of his mouth.
After taking the'Sky Shatter' hit, Solomon endured the intense physical pain and leaped back several paces, staring at Kiana with those eyes that could see through everything.
"I can't see anything... no, there is only the endless, brilliant radiance of the galaxy. It is something I have never seen in anyone else before..."
Solomon's pupils trembled slightly; he had never seen anyone whose essence was so pure.
Soon, what he saw began to change. The center of the galaxy suddenly shattered, and a purple sphere flashing with a diamond-shaped mark appeared.
"..."
A sharp pain hit Solomon's eyes, and he instinctively closed them. After that, he could see nothing.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that his omniscient and omnipotent eyes could see nothing except what was directly in front of him!
Since receiving everything granted by God, this was the first time he had experienced the limited vision of an ordinary person again.
"Not bad. You actually withstood that strike. As expected of Grand Caster, King Solomon."
Kiana looked at the ten rings floating in a circle above his head, a hint of battle intent igniting in her eyes.
This body should finally have an evenly matched opponent. Come on, let's fight! This is great!
At this moment, Kiana was somewhat influenced by the bloodline of the fighting cat tribe, wanting a hearty and satisfying battle.
Her earlier move was just to stop Solomon from being dishonorable and sneak-attacking the Rider group; now, Kiana purely wanted to satisfy her urge to fight.
On the other side, those watching were shocked to see Solomon's defense broken and him being injured so easily.
"That Servant... just who is she..."
"Grand Caster..."
"Mash, 'Grand'... that means Grand Class, right? That guy is a Grand Servant..."
Cold sweat trickled down the faces of the Saber group. Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, who had truly witnessed the power of a Grand Servant, were especially on high alert.
Artoria's teeth clenched slightly, her grip on her sword tightening as her eyes filled with frustration.
When fighting Solomon just now, she had been forced to use her Noble Phantasm just to barely break even. If not for Gala... Mash falling from the sky to release her Noble Phantasm, she might have been severely injured.
Yet that white-haired girl had injured Solomon with just one punch...
And setting aside this girl and Solomon, even that pitch-black Servant filled with madness gave her a sense of extreme pressure.
The Holy Grail... can she really obtain it...?
Most of the Servants that had appeared publicly were already beyond the normal scale.
Artoria's gaze dimmed slightly. Although she was confident, she wasn't blindly so.
Furthermore, that white-haired girl had said it: Grand Caster...
A Grand Servant? How is she, a regular Saber, supposed to fight that? Who on earth designed this matchmaking system!
Fortunately, Artoria was a serious king; otherwise, she would have truly thrown her holy sword on the ground and cursed at the heavens.
"Mash, has Chaldea still not been contacted? If we can't reach them, we'll have to try Heroic Spirit Summoning first."
"There's still no response. The communication seems to be disconnected, Senpai..."
Mash knit her brows, a trace of worry lingering between them as she replied softly.
Ever since arriving at this strange 'singularity', they had lost contact with old Chaldea and had yet to successfully reconnect.
Otherwise, they would have definitely let Dr. Roman see if this King Solomon was his long-lost brother.
Aside from skin color, hair color, eye color, and expression, the other details were very similar to Dr. Roman.
Zzt—zzt—
Just as the two were at their wits' end, a burst of static sounded, causing Irisviel and Artoria to turn their heads.
"Ah! Finally, a response! Senpai!"
Mash's eyes curved into crescents as she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka happily, and the latter nodded back with equal joy.
Irisviel was quite curious about what the two had just said, so she asked:
"What has a response? What have you two been talking about since a moment ago...?"
Despite asking, Irisviel felt that during the Holy Grail War, the other party wouldn't just casually share their information with her.
But these two were clearly not restricted by the conventional rules of the Holy Grail War...
"Ah, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself just now..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka froze for a moment, then scratched her head sheepishly. After tidying her outfit, she placed a hand over her heart toward Irisviel and Artoria and said with a smile:
"Hello, I am the Master of the Humanity Security Organization, Chaldea. Well... it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I'm humanity's final Master..."
"Humanity's... final Master...?"
"Yes. Currently, human history is being burned. After several singularity repairs, everyone at Chaldea believes the mastermind behind the incineration of all human history is..."
As she spoke, Fujimaru Ritsuka shifted her gaze toward Solomon, then looked at the band of light in the sky that was nearly identical to the Humanity Incineration Protocol.
It all seemed self-evident.
But she always felt something was slightly off, which was why she didn't name Solomon directly.
Her intuition told her that the Solomon before her was not the ultimate culprit.
"Burning... human history..."
Irisviel's gaze went blank, and she muttered softly, seemingly stunned by the sheer volume of information.
