An assassin named Ake appears. Unlimited Blade Works and Ryūjin Jakka.
One Holy Grail War, seven Heroic Spirits. Su Ye already had four under his command.
Adding the Assassin that should have originally been summoned by the magus Medea, that makes five.
Outside, there are only the regular heroic spirits: the lancer, the berserker, and then the unexpected person, Gilgamesh, the Golden Rule.
Five against three, do we even need a plan?
We can just steamroll them!
"Medea, what's your current condition?"
Su Ye looked at Medea, who had already signed the contract, who just moments ago seemed like she was about to dissipate, but now she looked completely fine.
So, for Heroic Spirits, mana is like a universal remedy. No matter the injury, just pump them full of mana and they'll instantly revive in perfect condition.
Hearing Su Ye's words, Medea nodded.
"Master, I have mostly recovered, there's no problem."
As she spoke, Medea looked at Su Ye with an indescribable expression in her eyes. It wasn't overt, but it was enough to make even the nearby Red Archer, who was standing by ready to watch the show, feel a twinge of jealousy.
'I was the one who picked her up. Why is she yours now?'
Even without telepathy, Su Ye could feel the intense resentment coming from Red Archer.
In response, Su Ye could only say, 'I am you, and you are me, no need to be so clear-cut. Everything I go through will become your memories, won't it?'
But in Red Archer's heart, there was still a bit of resentment.
Everyone likes to live in the present, to personally experience the beauty of life, rather than constantly searching for a sense of existence in memories.
But these were just minor details. The important thing now was to continue the fight.
"Since Medea has already recovered, can you try to summon another servant using magic or sorcery?"
This was something Medea had done before. Su Ye was just proposing the idea.
Sure enough, Medea hesitated for a moment before nodding, "I can give it a try."
After saying that, Medea's hand flashed, and a strangely shaped dagger appeared in her hand.
The blade of the dagger wasn't a normal straight or curved blade, but instead resembled a bolt of lightning, quietly emitting a purple glow. Even from a distance, it gave off an unsettling feeling.
The Noble Phantasm's true name was 'Rule Breaker,' a dagger that challenges established rules.
It can nullify the contract between master and servant, or eliminate life forms born from magical energy, and similar effects.
In Medea's hands, it also served another purpose: it could became a 'catalyst' for summoning heroic spirits.
With this item, Medea could summon the final class, Assassin, just like in the original story.
Originally, the main gate of Ryuudou Temple was used as the catalyst to summon Sasaki Kojirou. But using Rule Breaker as a catalyst, who would be summoned was uncertain.
In the room, Medea began the summoning ritual in front of everyone.
Soon, a magic circle appeared, and with Medea's incantation, the magic circle began to glow. Moments later, a woman wearing a red-and-black bodysuit, with a crooked mask on her head and holding twin daggers, slowly appeared.
"Are you the one who summoned me? Are you, my master?"
The woman with twin short blades opened her eyes and coldly looked at Medea in front of her.
Medea shook her head and then nodded, stepping aside to reveal Su Ye behind her.
"Not me—him!"
Upon seeing Su Ye's face, the woman in the magic circle's eyes clearly brightened.
"Although I'm picky about looks, you're definitely my type. Master, come form a contract with me. I'll let you experience ultimate plea—"
Just as she was about to speak, the woman's voice suddenly stopped. The glances from a few people nearby made her feel like a storm was about to break.
She turned to see Saber, Rin Tohsaka, Medusa, and even Medea—all wearing unpleasant expressions. She gave an awkward laugh.
"I was just kidding, don't be so tense."
"What's your name, and what is your class?"
Rin Tosaka directly stepped into the center of the room, representing everyone, and asked the question.
The woman shrugged, "My name is Ake, and my class is Assassin."
'Ake, as expected, it's Ake. She can actually be summoned!'
Red Acher couldn't help but start complaining.
'Wait, this is still Ake from "Honor of Kings." Doesn't the Fate series have an assassin named Jing Ke? Why is there a crossover!'
Red Archer wasn't ranting for no reason. In the Fate/Grand Order game, there's a three-star Servant named "Hizume," a female assassin.
That Hizume was based on Jing Ke—the man who attempted to assassinate the King of Qin.
And Ake, when she first debuted in Honor of Kings, wasn't Jing Ke's sister but Jing Ke herself, gender-swapped and named Jing Ke.
Later, due to concerns over mocking historical figures, the developers changed her backstory.
But essentially, Ake and Hizume had the same conceptual design.
So summoning her wasn't really an issue—just a result of Su Ye's presence causing a natural crossover event.
Besides, Hizume wasn't nearly as attractive as our Ake.
'How did we summon Ake? This doesn't matter. She's still much better than someone like Zazaki Kojiro. Or are you saying, compared to Little Ake, you'd prefer that foreigner?'
Su Ye replied with a smile. He was surprised by Ake's appearance, but also quite pleased.
Red Acher sighed, 'That's not what I meant. I was just wondering, if we could summon the Berserker class too, would it still be Heracles?'
"What do you mean?" Su Ye began to consider the possibility of this.
Red Acher snorted, "Of course, it's the Hammer of Barbarism, Zhong Wuyan! Her big hammer... ahem, ask if the big hammer is crazy enough!"
Su Ye shook his head. 'If we're talking berserk, I pick Athena. Her combos are like flowing water. That's real madness!'
'If you want berserk, Wan'er's your girl. Once that little butterfly takes off—chaos everywhere!'
'What about Luna's infinite moon combos? Isn't that berserk?'
'Old-school Mai Shiranui was the true madness!'
'You mean her outfit or her damage?'
'What do you think?'
'Hehehe…'
"Wait a second," Su Ye laughed mindlessly for a moment, but then he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Wait, no, isn't Mai Shiranui already his girl? Why's he still fantasizing like some loser?
It's all Red Archer's fault. This "Heroic Spirit version" of himself may look the same, but he's like a moron with scrambled brains, dragging down his intelligence.
"Ahem!"
Su Ye coughed lightly, breaking the awkward atmosphere between Ake and the seniors.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's move out and end this war!"
Two Masters, five Servants, left the Su residence and set off on their campaign.
At the same time, a few streets away, a towering man over 2.5 meters tall, wearing only a pair of pants, sat in a dark corner.
On his shoulder sat a girl who appeared to be eight or nine years old, with white hair and dressed in an ornate purple European-style dress.
This little girl was someone Su Ye had seen before. She was the one who suddenly appeared on his way home from work and warned him that if he didn't summon a servant quickly, he would be killed.
According to the original story, this little girl's name is Illyasviel von Einzbern. She is the biological daughter of Kiritsugu Emiya, the adoptive father of the protagonist Shirou Emiya.
Although she appeared to be only eight or nine years old, she was actually 18, not a little sister, but an older sister.
Emotionally speaking, she despised—no, hated—Shirou Emiya.
Ten years ago, her father, Kiritsugu Emiya, left home to participate in the Holy Grail War, promising her he would return.
He never did. Worse, he adopted another child, poured all his love into that boy, and left his own daughter at home to eat dust.
Who could tolerate that?
Then, Kiritsugu Emiya died, and Illyasviel had no choice but to direct all her hatred towards the person who deprived her of the love her father should have given her.
To get revenge, she went through brutal trials and nearly died in the process.
In some ways, her suffering wasn't less than Sakura Matou's.
What she didn't know was that Kiritsugu tried to return for her but couldn't pass the barrier around their home, due to injuries.
A simple misunderstanding turned into deep-rooted resentment.
And now, ten years later, Illya had come for revenge.
Kiritsugu was gone, but she could kill Shirou to vent her rage.
Oh—but now, her target was Su Ye.
"Berserker, how should we kill my dear big brother?"
Illyasviel, looking like a little girl, sat on the shoulder of the Berserker Heracles, her little legs swinging back and forth. She appeared to be an innocent, pure little girl.
But who would know that she was someone who, when she got serious, could kill without blinking an eye?
Upon hearing Illyasviel's words, Heracles didn't respond. He merely remained silent, like a loyal dog that only follows its master's orders.
When first summoned, Berserker could speak like any normal Heroic Spirit.
However, he wasn't summoned at the start of the Fifth Holy Grail War. He had been summoned much earlier, and after accompanying Illyasviel through countless trials, his ability to speak declined. Eventually, even his reasoning was taken from him, becoming the wild Berserker he was now.
Just as Illyasviel was swinging her legs and talking to herself, Su Ye, whom she had been thinking about, appeared before her.
"Yo! Long time no see, Onii-chan!" Illyasviel greeted with a smile.
"You're Su Mingtian's daughter?" Su Ye asked directly.
Taiga Fujimura only knew that Su Ye's father's surname was Su. Everything else was hidden—as if Su Mingtian's name wasn't allowed to exist in this world.
But Su Ye could say it freely.
It was likely that this rule only applied to ordinary locals like Fujimura Taiga?
On the other side, upon hearing the name "Su Mingtian," Illyasviel paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and her face turned fierce.
"Don't mention that name to me!"
Su Ye understood. The character of Old Su had still been imported into this world, and this girl in front of him was likely Old Su's daughter.
"Another Terry, huh?"
Su Ye wanted to sigh. Old Su was just too OP. Even inside a dungeon, he managed to show off.
"What if I told you that Old Su... ahem, Su Mingtian didn't die? I can take you to meet him, and you can question him face to face, vent your grievances or anger. What would you think?"
"What did you just say!"
Illyasviel's eyes widened instantly.
Her resentment toward Su Ye was really redirected from her father. If she could vent it directly at Su Mingtian, all the better.
"Don't doubt it. I promise—I can take you to see him. After all, you're my sister, right?"
18-year-old Illyasviel didn't need to pretend or act cute. In front of the real Su Ye, she was just a little sister.
"But... I..." Illyasviel was confused. She didn't know whether the other person was lying to her, whether she should trust him, and if she did, where would that leave her in this Holy Grail War?
"Alright, it's settled then. Let's get reintroduced. My name is Su Ye, and I'm happy to meet you, Illyasviel Su."
Illyasviel frowned, "My name is not Illyasviel Su!"
Su Ye chuckled lightly, "Then, do you go by Su Illyasviel?"
"My name is Illyasviel von Einzbern!" Illyasviel shouted stubbornly.
Su Ye smiled and shook his head, "As long as you're happy. In the end, it's Old Su who'll have to worry about it, not me."
"Exactly!" Illyasviel crossed her arms and retorted, "And I haven't agreed to anything yet!"
Su Ye looked at Berserker. "Maybe finding Su Mingtian could restore Berserker's reason and sanity…"
"Is that true?" Illyasviel became interested. After completing the trials with Heracles, for a long time, it had just been the two of them relying on each other.
So, seeing Heracles in his current state, she felt quite uncomfortable in her heart.
"I can agree to this, but it's for Heracles, not for finding some Old Su. Hmph!"
"Hehe!"
Su Ye smiled and nodded, "I understand."
With Illyasviel dealt with, the next task was to handle the last two heroic spirits: the lancer, Cú Chulainn, and the former archer, Gilgamesh, along with their shared master, Kirei Kotomine.
Kirei Kotomine, the supervisor of the Fifth Holy Grail War, also known as the referee.
But as the referee, he had also become a participant. Not only did he strip a participant of their master identity and servant, Cú Chulainn, but he also secretly kept Gilgamesh alive.
His goal? To manifest "All the Evils of the World."
Such a person, Su Ye had no intentions of going easy on.
After dealing with Illyasviel, Su Ye directly led everyone to the outside of the church called the "Kotomine Church."
This was the hideout of Kirei Kotomine, the lancer, and Gilgamesh.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
After Su Ye spoke, without waiting for anyone's response, he slowly lifted off the ground, hovering in midair, then spread his arms evenly in the air.
Next to him, Red Archer also floated into the sky. The two of them had the same posture, the same expression, and the same movements.
Together, they chanted:
[I am the Bone of my Sword]
[Steel is my Body and Fire is my Blood]
[I have created over a Thousand Blades]
[Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life]
[Have withstood Pain to create many Weapons]
[Yet those Hands will never hold Anything]
[So, as I Pray-- Unlimited Blade Works]
Only then did Rin Tosaka and Saber realize that the two of them were so similar, as if they were the same person.
Aside from the church before them, everything changed. The sky turned into a burning orange twilight, like flames devouring the heavens.
In the sky above, countless massive gears appeared, slowly turning among the clouds.
Beneath their feet, the ground that was once there turned into a wasteland, and across the vast wasteland, countless swords and daggers of all types were stuck into the ground.
"Unlimited Blade Works, this is a Reality Marble!"
Reality Marbles were a type of magecraft that recreated the caster's inner world and overwrote reality itself. Because of their overwhelming power, they were listed as forbidden magic by the Mage's Association.
She never expected Su Ye to be strong enough to cast one.
Nor that her own Servant, Red Archer, would be so similar to Su Ye.
"A mere ant dares come knocking on my door?"
At that moment, a figure appeared atop the church—dressed in golden armor, like a warrior from myth.
That was Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, also known as the Golden Rule.
Though the world had changed due to the Reality Marble, Gilgamesh remained indifferent.
"Come, ants. I hope you'll entertain me for a bit."
As he spoke, ripples like the surface of water appeared behind him. From within, countless weapons slowly emerged.
Gilgamesh didn't possess a Reality Marble, but he had a Noble Phantasm of equal power—Gate of Babylon.
It was the key to the treasury of the Golden City, allowing him to summon treasures from his vault at will.
The strength of the items in the vault determines the power of this attack.
And Gilgamesh's vault was filled with unparalleled relics—each one worthy of legend.
"Then, let's fight!"
Within Unlimited Blade Works, the countless blades buried in the ground rose at Su Ye's command, flying like a tidal wave toward Gilgamesh.
Meanwhile, Red Acher, wielding two long blades, transformed into a streak of red light and charged forward.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Gate of Babylon activated in response. Countless treasures clashed midair with Su Ye's oncoming storm of swords.
At the same time, a blue figure burst out from the church, blocking Red Acher's charge.
Cu Chulainn had entered the fray.
Inside the church, Kirei Kotomine furrowed his brows. He had already seen Su Ye and Red Acher attacking, along with the other servants behind them: Rin Tosaka, Illyasviel, and Saber.
"So… all the surviving Masters have formed an alliance?"
Kotomine didn't know why. Even if they wanted to form an alliance, why attack him first?
Could it be that his role as both the referee and participant had been exposed?
Before Kirei Kotomine could clear his thoughts, a black, tower-like figure suddenly approached rapidly, descending from the sky.
Boom!
With a single swing of his axe-sword, Heracles shattered the church.
Gilgamesh and Cu Chulainn were too tied up to stop the destruction, forced to watch as Berserker struck.
"Hiss!"
Kotomine barely escaped the collapsing church. The usual solemn priestly expression on his face was gone.
"Why? Why is this happening?"
"You shouldn't have turned your back on me!"
A woman's voice rang out behind him. Kirei's back stiffened with dread, but it was too late.
Squelch!
The sound of a sharp object piercing flesh echoed, and Kirei Kotomine immediately felt his strength rapidly draining away. The entire world seemed to grow colder.
"Who... are you?"
He turned his head and saw the masked woman attacking his back without mercy. With his last breath, he let out a bitter cry.
"Farewell forever!"
Ake didn't reply. Instead, she simply swung the short blade in her hand.
Squelch!
Kotomine Kirei—dead.
In the sky, Kirei Kotomine's death didn't cause much of a stir for Gilgamesh and Cú Chulainn.
One of them was a true warrior, and the other was a king who looked down on the world. Their relationship with Kirei Kotomine was merely a partnership, and they had never been under his control.
A Master died—so what? They could always find another.
There were plenty of magi in the world. Finding someone with magical circuits to sign a contract wasn't difficult.
Gilgamesh didn't care that Kirei had been supplying him with mana for ten years.
What mattered now… was the enemy in front of him.
His abilities severely countered Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon. To win, Gilgamesh would need to get serious.
Even now, Gilgamesh didn't believe he could lose.
But Cu Chulainn was already covered in wounds.
"Ready to surrender?" Red A paused her attack and spoke.
On the other side, Cú Chulainn spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Cough… You're strong. Far stronger than I expected. If it were another time, maybe I'd share a drink with you. But… we're enemies now. No more words—just fight!"
"There's only Cú Chulainn who dies on the battlefield, no son of light who surrenders and lives in shame!"
Red Acher sighed. He knew Cú Chulainn was stubborn, and persuading him to surrender was nearly impossible.
"Fine then. If that's your wish, I'll honor your loyalty and courage!"
The greatest respect one can show an opponent in battle is to go all out.
Meanwhile, Su Ye and Gilgamesh had closed the distance—still exchanging projectile Noble Phantasms, but now also clashing swords.
Gilgamesh wielded a weapon named Ea, the Sword of Rupture. A weapon of EX rank that could sever space and rend the world apart.
Su Ye held a projected Zanpakutō.
But not Shinso this time.
It was Ryūjin Jakka, a flame-based sword of overwhelming destructive power.
Even as a replica, it could perform Bankai.
It could not only harm Gilgamesh's spiritual body—but his soul itself.
As fire surged across the Reality Marble, Gilgamesh's confidence began to waver.
"Who… are you really?"
For the first time, Gilgamesh looked at Su Ye not as an ant, but as a true rival.
Su Ye snorted, "You don't need to know!"
For someone used to being on top, treating others like ants, should now die in this world like an ant, humble and insignificant.
Gilgamesh might have strength, fame, and looks—but Su Ye had all of those too.
"Take your doubts and go crawl back!"
"All things in the universe, reduced to ash! Ryūjin Jakka!"
