Bzzzt-!

Crackle-!

Hum-!

As the final part of the thousand-layered array is finished, sparks were sent flying into it. Fortunately, the special space used to contain it has a very strong anchor, to the point that it couldn't even be shaken.

With Shiro's [Lord of the Mysteries], he had successfully created a pocket dimension that is a layer beneath the texture of the real world. When the danger comes, the said space would temporarily resurface to the real world. In its inactive state, it wouldn't be detected by most native gods.

"That's it for the defenses."

Shiro patted his hands before he strolled outside the server room. He had reinforced the entire room as well to make it sturdier to external attacks. It is very durable that it's the room with one of the highest defenses in Kawalirielki.

"It should be enough for the contingencies." He mumbled. "I shall deal with the rest."

"You... Why do you possess the brilliance of the sun?"

After a long time of contemplating, Ozymandias decided to ask the girl sitting in the lounge. Sshe has a laptop placed on top of her lap, finishing all of her homeworks with their deadline tomorrow—in her world, that is.

Golden lines were briefly found in her pupils before they disappeared.

"Excuse me?"

"Are you a sun god?"

This time, he omitted his strenous word play and directly asked.

"A sun god..." Shino muttered as she thought of the bow within her soul. "I'm not yet one."

"So, you will be one in the future?"

"That's right."

Due to her connection with , her inclination is being turned more similar to the Goddess Solus inside . Even without using her bow, Shino's basic attacks all has the power of the sun. It wouldn't be too surprising if her main authority turns out to be in the future.

"I understand." He nodded at her before leaving.

For once, the proud pharaoh showed a sign of respect to someone. Others might be bewildered, but to him, it is simply seeing someone a future equal of his. Moreover, he saw that this "friend" of Romani came from a mysterious background, which became evident once he saw that the opponents in that Singularity isn't enough to even force out her full power.

Part of the reasons behind it are Romani's careful planning and the other 'strange' woman, but her power is not to be underestimated. Without the help of the Grand Assassin, she was able to fight against Gawain in a stalemate, all the while he is boosted by the sun. 

"Done."

Fifteen minutes later, she finished all of her home works. In particular, the world history subject was a breeze as it was all about the history of Europe. Since she'd personally seen Camelot itself, writing a good report became easier.

Closing her laptop, she proceeded to the director's room. On the way, she saw different servants interacting with each other. Unlike before, it was much more rowdy due to the continuous addition of new servants thanks to Chaldea's summoning system. Coupled with the resources that they got from each Singularities, improvements were made in the different systems in this place.

Coupled with the emergence of Servants whom have earned great academic accomplishments in their life, it became a snowball.

"Gods and magic... This feels like a dream, but it's not."

As one of the few "normal person" in the beginning, Shino surely didn't expect that her future would end up like this. Instead of spending time studying and playing virtual reality games, she ended up fighting against supernatural knights that can send someone flying with a kick.

Of course, the "send someone flying" meant being sent away by tens of meters midair.

Not only that, she herself is growing stronger as the time goes by. When she got her 2nd UR in the chat group, it only became more evident. Nevertheless, she is always reminded of her mundane life by attending school and doing normal stuff.

Shiro: "Looks like we'll be facing outer gods two days later."

Romani: "Those poor guys troubled you?"

Touka: "Emphasis on the word 'poor'."

Kouzuki: "Sounds just right. Shiro, can you send me the relevant data later? Like, would normal torture work against them?"

Hajin: "Can we just ignore the last sentence?"

Looking at the 'mess' that Shiro caused, she couldn't help but smile.

"Shiro-san... he's still like this."

*****

In an unknown place.

"Thy will shall be done."

Dozens of men in black robe shouted before they stood up from their kneeling positions. Showing a respectful look at the person sitting on the altar, they soon left the room.

Surrounding it are the smell of blood and black dusts—all of which came from orundum ores and originum crystals. Fresh corpses littered the ground as their blood continuously flowed in the location of the altar.

No insignia and the likes are present in it, however, the Snowpriests of Sami and Ursus' Emperor Blades would immediately recognize the one behind it.

""A large price has been paid.""

Two indistinct voices, one belong to a male and another from a female, echoed in this room. It formed a dissonance with the surroundings that most would react adversely towards 'it'.

Unlike the abominations found in the Northern Border, in which the word 'eldritch' is a very fitting description for them, the person in the altar has a stunning appearance. 

Long platinum hair flowed down to her waist. Her soft lips and matching silver pupils can enchant most who looks at her. Her only disadvantage is the lack of curves—mainly in the chest part.

""I have been saving this vessel for hundreds of years.""

In 'its' descent, a vessel is naturally required as it is the only way to 'connect' to the world and not be rejected by the barrier erected outside it. To that, the body of an outstanding Sami priestess has been used.

One has to know that 'its' followers had only succeeded in acquiring high-quality vessel thrice in the past thousand years. It is the result of luck, centuries of planning, and the help of greedy Terrans.

Since 'it' is not fundamentally of this world, 'it' would still be rejected after some time passes, hence each vessel are temporary. Once used, the body would be destroyed due to the 'power' that 'it' possessed inside the vessel.

It is the same for the other 'foreigners', hence Terrans are careful in letting a body of a powerful person falling in the hands of its worshipers, the people who had their minds corrupted.

""I see that the 'sea' is here. Its temper is to not make a big movement, yet it is willing to do so now.""

Coincidentally... or not, the moon shone on her. The terrestrial body that was supposed to be a pair of Terra, its ally, is now turned against it.

""That unaccounted foreigner should not let me down.""

With a thin smile, she wore the clothes left by her believers before she left the altar room, leaving the remains of the Infected to rot for years to come.

Fact #89: The motif of Emiya's theme is "Techno". What's interesting here is that it fits with Emiya's ideologies which are borrowed. In it, there are always remixes from other songs (borrowed). Emiya's projections are also associated with lightning (in the anime), something similar to the electric effects in techno music. You can also see that most of the remixes online are the modified versions of the originals (Emiya's projections). Truly, there's no rule that a fake can't defeat the original...
