Divine power perception fully activated.
Passing through layers upon layers of parallel worlds, skimming across countless branches of possibility.
Hansen's eyes, burning with platinum flames, finally landed on the outskirts of Fuyuki City in deep winter.
In those deep mountains, covered in wind and snow all year round, sat an ancient castle—the Einzbern castle.
Hansen's gaze pierced through the castle's thick stone walls and layers of magical barriers, finally focusing on a homunculus woman with long silver-white hair and red eyes.
Irisviel von Einzbern.
At this moment, she was gazing at the snowy scenery outside the window, full of longing for the future.
And inside her body, at the core of the magical circuits serving as the function of the [lesser grail], a pitch-black, deep Cube Fragments was perfectly entangled with the Grail's magical power, together becoming the important cornerstone supporting her life activities.
Seeing this scene, Hansen's expression became somewhat strange.
"It's actually her..."
What is this strange affinity for married women lately?
Seeing Hansen lost in thought, Asuka, who had been standing behind him, could no longer hold back.
"Teacher! What are you spacing out for?"
Asuka was wearing a red plugsuit, hands on her hips, looking eager to try: "No matter what kind of enemy it is, eva unit-02 and I will tear them to pieces!"
"Oh my, what the Princess says is also my sentiment, BOSS~~" Mari Makinami also pushed up her glasses, her mouth curving into a militant arc, "As long as you give the order, I'll even kill a god for you~"
Rei Ayanami stood quietly to the side, her red eyes gazing silently at Hansen, waiting for his command.
Hansen turned around, looked at the three girls who had just experienced the divine power replenishment and were at the peak of their strength, and shook his head.
"No."
"Huh? Why?" Asuka widened her eyes in confusion.
"Your power is too strong right now." Hansen pointed to the surface of the world below, "You are no longer mere humans, but otherworldly demigods who have fused divinity with the power of an Angel."
"With power that exceeds specifications, combined with the world's rejection, if you were to descend directly, that fragile leyline beneath Fuyuki City wouldn't be able to withstand it at all."
Thinking of the scene where the island nation sinks, Hansen's expression became strange again.
Hmm... although it's not impossible.
"Forget it..." Thinking that this was a parallel world born from a 2D prototype, Hansen crossed out the satisfying thought in his mind and said casually, "Besides, the combat system of this world doesn't rely entirely on pure destructive power."
"Magic, concepts, noble phantasm, mystery... these are fields you haven't come into contact with before."
"You have the power to destroy a continent, but when it comes to the confrontation of rules and concepts, you are still too naive."
"So?" Asuka raised an eyebrow.
"So, I have arranged an excellent place for you."
Hansen snapped his fingers and cast his gaze toward alaya, who was pretending to be a quail on the side.
"Hey, temp worker."
"Who... who is a temp worker!" alaya bristled.
"Borrowing your territory." Hansen pointed to the star-studded region above the Root—the [Throne of Heroes], "Fit the three of them in there."
alaya looked in the direction of Hansen's finger and instantly widened her eyes: "Put these three... these three monsters in there?!"
As the Counter Force, alaya could clearly perceive the terrifying power contained within Asuka and the others.
That was not something normal Servants could compare to; they were simply living weapons of destruction!
"What, no?" Hansen narrowed his eyes slightly, releasing a trace of the [Divine Pressure] that made gaia feel a sense of intimacy.
"Hmm..." alaya's face turned pale, and she immediately changed her words, "Yes! Of course! As long as they don't tear down the Throne of Heroes, it's fine!"
"Don't worry, they are just going for an 'exchange program'."
Hansen turned his head to look at the three girls, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.
"Girls, that place above is called the Throne of Heroes, and it houses the strongest heroes, Gouketsu, and mythological legends in human history."
"Although most of them are spirits of the dead, each of them possesses unique skills."
"Especially those guys who have the [Grand] qualification, they are very durable punching bags."
Hearing the words "durable punching bags," Mari Makinami's eyes instantly lit up like two light bulbs.
"Oh? In other words, we can fight to our heart's content without worrying about breaking them?"
"That's right." Hansen nodded, "For this Holy Grail War, me going down there alone is enough."
"Your task is to go into the Throne of Heroes and beat up all those so-called heroes."
"Go learn their combat techniques, analyze the principles of their noble phantasm, and then..."
"Stomp their pride under your feet."
"Hmph, sounds pretty good." Asuka raised her chin tsundere-style, burning battle intent in her eyes, "Since it's Teacher's order, I'll reluctantly go and instruct those ancients."
"Let them see what the Ultimate All-Purpose Humanoid Decisive Weapon is!"
Although Rei Ayanami didn't speak, she nodded silently, and a faint glow of [AT Field] appeared on the surface of her body.
"Then, go."
Hansen waved his hand, and three white-gold rays of divine power instantly enveloped the three girls.
"alaya, open the door."
Under alaya's unwilling operation, the golden gate leading to the Throne of Heroes swung open with a boom.
"Goodbye, BOSS! I hope those guys can keep me entertained for a while!"
Accompanied by Mari Makinami's excited scream, the three turned into streams of light and rushed into that sea of stars.
The next second, several terrifying and peerless auras instantly erupted within the once-deadly silent Throne of Heroes!
Vaguely, Hansen seemed to hear the roar of a certain golden king: "mongrel! What is this giant piece of iron?! Don't step on this King's treasury, ahhh!!"
There was also the exclamation of a certain beam-spam fanatic: "Ex...calibur ineffective? What is that orange wall?"
There was even Mari Makinami's wild laughter: "Hahaha! Is this what a Servant is? Too fragile, too fragile! [AT Field]—Full Power!!"
Listening to the chaos coming from the upper dimension, Hansen nodded with satisfaction.
"It seems they are getting along very well."
alaya was shivering on the side, tears welling up in her eyes: "My Throne of Heroes... my family fortune..."
"Alright, now it's my turn."
Hansen ignored alaya's wailing and once again cast his gaze toward the reality below.
The original Holy Grail War was led by the [greater grail] system, summoning seven Servants of regular classes—
[Saber].
[Archer].
[Lancer].
[Rider].
[Caster].
[Assassin].
[Berserker].
This was a closed and rigorous magical ritual.
But in front of Hansen, who had mastered the authority of the Root, this system was like primary code full of vulnerabilities.
"Since I'm going to play, I need to have a legitimate identity."
