Fate: Question And Answer System of Traversing Heroic Spirits

[Having activated his Noble Phantasm, Spartacus transformed into a monstrous being as large as a hill, with five eyes, eight arms, ten legs, and beast-like mouths on his shoulders.]

[He looked like a grotesque abomination, terrifying just to behold.]

Tohsaka Rin: "Oh my goodness! What kind of monster is this?!"

Illya: "How disgusting!"

Waver: "Is this the effect of his Noble Phantasm?"

Sola-ui: "It feels like watching a horror movie."

Spartacus: "Hahaha, down with the oppressors!"

["A stalling tactic?"]

[Jeanne quickly understood the Red Team's strategy, but she chose to defend herself, adhering strictly to her role as Ruler.]

[Unfortunately, the Red Team didn't intend to leave it at that.]

[Suddenly, countless beams of light rained down from the sky, targeting Spartacus.]

[Under this relentless assault and the effects of his own Noble Phantasm, Spartacus's magical energy surged even further, rapidly approaching its limit.]

["Are you planning to destroy the entire battlefield?"]

[Jeanne, who could see Spartacus's true name, understood the full effects of his Noble Phantasm and realized the dire situation.]

[Once Spartacus exploded, the devastation would likely engulf the entire battlefield, including the Yggdmillennia castle.]

[Given Spartacus's current state, not even using all three Command Seals could stop his self-destruction.]

[What should she do now?]

Sisigou: "Hey, hey, don't tell me this guy's going to blow us all up."

Gordes: "Damn Red Team, how dare they do this!"

Avicebron: "Spartacus truly is a double-edged sword."

Chiron: "So, this is the true power of his Noble Phantasm."

The day before, Chihiro had fired Spartacus like an arrow. However, given the urgency of that battle, Chihiro hadn't had time to accumulate damage on Spartacus. If he had, Spartacus's explosion would have been far more devastating.

[The scene shifts back to Mordred and the others.]

[Frankenstein's Noble Phantasm, The Blasted Tree, had been unleashed with all restrictions removed. While it appeared to be a purely skill-based attack, it held another hidden power.]

[The lightning released by her Noble Phantasm wasn't ordinary, it was imbued with Frankenstein's will. As long as that will existed, she would never truly be destroyed.]

[When the lightning ravaged everything around it, it also struck Sieg's heart, restarting the blood flow that had ceased.]

[It acted like a magical pacemaker.]

Celenike: "Tsk, you're still alive?"

Astolfo: "Amazing! Sieg, you're alive!"

Sieg: "...Yeah, it's a miracle."

Mordred: "How can this be possible? This kid is ridiculously lucky."

Waver: "Honestly, it feels like I'm watching the protagonist of a novel."

[After absorbing the magical energy released by Frankenstein, Sieg's body began to undergo strange changes.]

[The first thing Sieg felt upon regaining consciousness was pain.]

[A sharp, unbearable pain radiated from the back of his left hand, jolting him awake.]

[Looking at his hand, Sieg saw a black pattern forming—a Command Seal. Confusion filled his mind.]

[Sieg, who had some understanding of the Holy Grail War, recognized it as a Command Seal. But shouldn't Command Seals be red? Why was his black?]

Gordes: "What is this? Where did he get a Command Seal from?"

Kayneth: "Who did he contract with? Haven't all the Servants already been summoned?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "More importantly, why is this Command Seal black?"

Siegfried: "This... could it be?"

[Suddenly, Sieg felt the breath of a massive creature behind him, freezing him in place.]

[His instincts screamed at him not to turn around.]

[Siegfried: "If it's so terrifying, face it with the Sword".]

[Sieg: "The Sword?]

[Subconsciously, Sieg looked at his right hand. At some point, he had grasped the hilt of a sword buried halfway into the ground.]

[He knew he had to pull it out and defeat whatever was behind him.]

[But no matter how much strength he used, the sword wouldn't budge. It felt as though it had fused with the earth itself.]

[Siegfried: "For What Purpose are you pulling that sword?"]

[Siegfried: "What do you wish for?"]

[Sieg: I don't know. But still, please give me the power to save someone.]

[The Command Seal on Sieg's left hand began to glow ominously.]

[The answer became clear. The heart he had been given, the overwhelming magical energy surging through his reborn body, and the black Command Seal—they all aligned.]

[Siegfried: "This is the path you chose"]

[Sieg: "This is the part I choose."]

["Is that so? Then…"]

[Sieg: "I order my body with the Command Seal."]

[The Command Seal flared, emitting a brilliant white light, and Sieg's body began to transform.]

[Under everyone's astonished gazes, Sieg became Siegfried.]

[The legendary hero, Siegfried the Dragon Slayer, had returned.]

Everyone: "!!!"

Tohsaka Rin: "What the hell?! Sieg turned into Siegfried?!"

Astolfo: "Sieg, how did you do that?!"

Sieg: "I... I don't know either."

Siegfried: "It seems the power of my heart still lingers, and Sieg has found a way to use it."

Gordes: "This is impossible! A homunculus turning into a Heroic Spirit?!"

Avicebron: "Fascinating. The heart of a Heroic Spirit truly produces unpredictable results."

Kotomine Shirou: "Truly a miracle."

Darnic: "I underestimated him. I never imagined Sieg would bring about such a transformation."

[This was undoubtedly a miracle, though one with a time limit.]

[One hundred and eighty seconds, that was the maximum duration a Command Seal could sustain.]

[Even if it lasted only three minutes, Sieg didn't care. If this body could help him protect others, if it could serve as a power to save, then he would accept any consequence—destruction, decline, or even a miserable death.]

[It was the curse of the dragon that made this miracle possible. And it was the heart of the dragon that enabled this transformation.]

[Thus, its name was the Dragon's Command Seal.]

[Sieg: "This is enough."]

Sieg: "Thank you, Siegfried. Even if it's just for three minutes, it's enough to protect others."

Siegfried: "This is something you've achieved on your own."

Siegfried could tell that Sieg's magic circuits alone weren't enough to sustain this transformation. The fragments of Frankenstein's power absorbed into Sieg must have played a crucial role.

Tohsaka Rin: "Three minutes? What is he, Ultraman?"

Sieg: "Ultraman? What is that?"

Tohsaka Rin: "A leather suit alien that can only fight for three minutes."

["What on earth is going on?"]

[Mordred was visibly confused by the situation and turned to Sisigou for answers.]

["Hey, Master, Saber of Black went down right?"]

[Sisigou: "Yeah, That's what Father Shirou said."]

[Mordred: "Then who the hell is the Saber in front of me?"]

[Mordred: No way, the Homunculus?]

[Sisigou: What?]

[Modred: The Homunculus became a Servant]

[Sisigou: "I don't know what's going on either, but this is the Holy Grail War. Anything can happen."]

[Sisigou continued in a soothing tone: "Take him down. Your injuries are almost healed. Even though he's a Saber, he's an irregular existence."]

[Mordred: "I feel like you're sugarcoating this just to make me fight."]

[Sisigou: "You can always retreat if you want."]

["Damn it! You're definitely baiting me into fighting him!"]

[Mordred laughed arrogantly, her tone shifting to one of determination. "But I'll show you. After all, if it were my father, he would never choose to retreat in a situation like this!"]

Artoria: "..."

Seeing how well Mordred and Sisigou got along, Artoria couldn't help but reflect on her own interactions with Mordred.

Should she change her approach?

However, Artoria quickly dismissed the thought. Sisigou's methods didn't suit her personality, and she couldn't imagine behaving in such a way.

[Mordred adjusted her stance, preparing for battle. Meanwhile, Sieg's gaze fell on Astolfo.]

["Are you okay?"]

[Astolfo, his face pale, managed a weak response: "You idiot…"]

Tohsaka Rin: "This isn't enough to make me cry."

Astolfo: "I'm tearing up seeing Sieg's growth and Siegfried's return."

Tohsaka Rin: "You're really crying?!"
