[Ding!~]
[Detected that the world cluster the host is in is undergoing gradual destruction!]
[Issuing a special check-in mission.]
[Ding!~]
[Congratulations, host, for triggering a villain check-in!]
[Check-in Level: Rainbow]
[Check-in Event: World Conquest.]
[Requirement: Collect enough fortune to completely conquer this world.]
[Current Progress: 62.5%.]
[Male Protagonist Fortune Seized: Kiritsugu Emiya (10%)]
[Female Protagonist Fortune Seized: Rin Tohsaka (2.5%), Sakura Matou (10%), Illya (0%), Sola (5%), Medea (5%), Shirley (2.5%), Natalia (2.5%), Irisviel (10%), Maiya Hisau (5%)]
[Remaining Fortune Collection Targets:]
[Male: Kirei Kotomine (10%), Gilgamesh (10%)...]
[Female: Rin Tohsaka (10%), Saber (10%), Medusa (5%), Luvia (2.5%), Bazett (2.5%), Caren (2.5%), Ayako Mitsuzuri (2.5%), Taiga Fujimura (2.5%)]
[Total Percentage Required: Over 100%. Once 100% is collected, the world will be considered conquered.]
[After conquering this world, the host can carry this world cluster with them, no longer subject to attacks from outer gods and dimensional creatures.]
[Time Limit: 1 year. After 1 year, even if not invaded, the separated world cluster will gradually disintegrate into world fragments, becoming food for dimensional creatures.]
Hmm... So, I have to collect them all?
Akira rubbed his forehead, feeling a slight headache.
If he had to collect them all, it would take a lot of time.
If brute force worked, he would definitely choose the simplest and most direct method.
However, seizing fortune wasn't as simple as just killing the target.
To seize the fortune of a male protagonist, he needed to break their will and replace them as the de facto protagonist, taking over their role.
To seize the fortune of a female protagonist, he needed their voluntary devotion. Without their willingness, even if he obtained their bodies, he wouldn't absorb their fortune.
Fortunately, Akira's high-dimensional succubus bloodline gave him a significant advantage in conquest. Otherwise, progress in seizing fortune, whether from male or female protagonists, would be much slower.
"Since I can't quickly conquer this world, I'll just have to let it suffer a little longer," Akira shook his head.
One year.
At most, he had one year to either make this world his or watch it perish.
Of course, one year was still too long.
If he couldn't complete the world conquest progress in a year, he might as well go home and forget about his so-called "high-dimensional succubus bloodline."
Having made up his mind, Akira began to implement his plan.
"Come out!"
A dark purple light flew from Akira's hand toward an open area outside the castle.
Soon, a massive Sea Demon Dragon appeared outside the Einzbern Castle.
[What is this?! That outer god's subordinate from before?! How is this possible?!]
Agumon could sense that this outer god's subordinate... seemed to be under Akira's control?
Under Akira's command, the massive Sea Demon Dragon began to split into smaller entities.
[Akira, what are you doing...?] Agumon was confused about Akira's intentions.
"Agumon, remember what I said? Outer god subordinates can devour each other to grow stronger."
[Devour each other to grow stronger... I see! Akira, you want this Sea Demon Dragon to devour all the invading outer god subordinates, don't you?!] Agumon swallowed hard.
As expected of Akira, even the outer god's subordinates were being used as tools.
"Exactly. If it devours them all, this Sea Demon Dragon should be able to break through from Demon King level to Super Demon King level. An infinitely regenerating Super Demon King would make an excellent meat shield."
Rather than fighting himself, Akira preferred sending out his "Pokémon" to gang up on enemies.
Currently, Akira had three powerful "Pokémon."
Agumon, with infinite potential and the ability to surpass the world's limits.
The Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel, who could fight for 10 minutes after charging for 24 hours.
And now, the "Meat Shield"—the massive Sea Demon Dragon.
When facing powerful opponents, these three could form a perfectly coordinated team.
The Sea Demon Dragon would take the front line as the meat shield.
The Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel would act as both a warrior and a mage. With its wings, it could engage in close combat, and with its light spears, it could cast spells. Its wings' defensive capabilities also allowed it to temporarily act as a tank.
As for Agumon, it could serve as both support and ranged DPS. Agumon could use a variety of spells and had powerful ranged and melee capabilities, making it an all-rounder.
If there were more than one Agumon, it could handle every role by itself.
As for Akira, he usually used Asia and Gasper's abilities to act as a healer and support, filling in any role as needed.
Agumon didn't know what Akira was thinking, but she couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic.
[A Super Demon King...]
Agumon fell silent for a few seconds.
If the Sea Demon Dragon were just a Demon King-level entity, she was confident she could defeat it on her own, though it might take half a day.
But if it advanced to Super Demon King level... Agumon felt she would have to risk her life.
By using a forbidden technique at the cost of her life, she could seal it away until the end of time.
While Agumon was lost in thought, the massive Sea Demon Dragon had already split into numerous smaller entities.
Of course, given the Sea Demon Dragon's size, even its smaller forms were much larger than ordinary sea demons.
"Agumon, follow my orders."
[Yes, Akira! What do you need me to do?] Agumon felt as if she had returned to her training days. Even though she had awakened and was just a step away from fully recovering, she still felt she couldn't keep up with Akira's pace.
"Agumon, use a teleportation spell to send the smaller Sea Demon Dragons to all cities with dimensional rifts."
[Understood, Akira!]
Agumon responded immediately.
A few seconds later, a mechanical dragon over 100 meters tall appeared outside the Einzbern Castle!
The Mechanical Dragon raised its arm and cast a spell beneath thousands of miniature Sea Demon Dragons!
Within seconds, thousands of Sea Demon Dragons were teleported.
Then, as if without cooldown, the Mechanical Dragon began another wave of teleportation!
Akira watched Agumon's frantic spellcasting with a subtle expression.
He had always wanted to ask:
With such mastery of spells, was Agumon really a magical beast and not the newly born God of this world?
As for the possibility that Agumon was the God of the Bible, Akira had ruled that out when Agumon activated her "Sacred Armament."
If she were the God of the Bible, her Sacred Armament should have been something like the "Spear of Twilight" or the "Spear of Dawn," not the "Spear that Pierces the World."
This "world-piercing" attribute was unique to Agumon.
"Agumon, keep teleporting. I'll handle my part."
Akira walked to the window.
[Akira, what are you going to do? Do you need my help?]
"Me?"
"I'm going to deal with those dimensional creatures!"
"As for you, Agumon..."
"Do whatever you want for now."
"If you can't think of anything, you can help me collect those dimensional creatures. They might be useful to me."
Akira felt that keeping Agumon in the contract space was a waste of her abilities.
Besides, after obtaining the Holy Grail, Agumon would gain a human form.
In human form, Agumon could play an even greater role.
Whether it was handling internal affairs, diplomacy, or research, Agumon needed to transition from her current mindset as a contract beast.
Letting Agumon decide her own actions was a form of early practice.
After saying this, Akira's clothes shimmered, transforming from pajamas back into his formal attire.
[Vanishing Dragon Balance Breaker!]
[Forbidden Art: White Dragon Emperor's Armor (Dividing Scale Mail)]
Instantly clad in armor, Akira took off toward the city.
As the Mechanical Dragon continued teleporting Sea Demon Dragons, it watched Akira's departing figure.
[Do whatever I want, huh?]
This statement left her feeling a bit complicated.
For Akira to say this meant he trusted her greatly, believing she could contribute more by acting independently than by following his orders.
But... if possible, Agumon still wished Akira would give her direct commands.
Following Akira's orders had been her purpose for so many years.
A few seconds later, Agumon decided on her course of action.
Akira hadn't given her a specific command, but he had given her a vague one, right?
She would treat Akira's vague command as a direct order and execute it accordingly.
[Collect dimensional creatures, huh?]
[These creatures' energy is somewhat similar to Akira's source power. They might be useful to him.]
A few minutes later, after teleporting hundreds of thousands of Sea Demon Dragons, Agumon joined the effort to collect dimensional creatures.
Meanwhile, in Fuyuki City.
Kirei Kotomine was in the midst of battle.
His red spear danced through the air, continuously slaying invading sea demons and dimensional creatures.
He didn't have a noble desire to protect the people.
The reason he fought was simple...
If he didn't kill these invaders, they would hunt him down!
Earlier, he had even boarded Gilgamesh's Vimana.
But once they took to the skies, the sea demons began merging into larger forms capable of reaching them!
Reluctantly, Gilgamesh used Ea to clear the monsters and landed back on the ground.
On the ground, the sea demons wouldn't merge into massive forms.
"King of Heroes, do you have any idea what's going on?"
Kirei already knew that these invaders had gone berserk due to Gilgamesh's actions.
But he didn't understand why things had escalated to this point.
It seemed that both he and Gilgamesh had a natural attraction for sea demons and dimensional creatures?
Gilgamesh, now more relaxed after landing, sipped his wine and explained.
"Kirei, you know that man called himself a world destroyer, right?"
"Yes, he did. But what does that have to do with this?"
"Of course it does," Gilgamesh downed his divine wine.
"These invaders attack us because they seek to erode and destroy the world."
"You and I... we both carry the foundation of this world."
"That's why we have memories from ten years in the future."
"Devouring the world's foundation is the simplest way to destroy it."
"In essence, these invaders and that man, Akira, are doing the same thing."
That was Gilgamesh's explanation.
From Akira's perspective, it was because they carried fortune that they naturally attracted the attention of these world-destroying invaders.
Gilgamesh and Kirei were like this.
Others who carried fortune would naturally be the same.
On the shattered streets of Fuyuki City, a sofa was on the run.
The girl sitting on it had a beauty that didn't require excessive adornment to turn heads.
Her shoulder-length brown hair swayed in the wind, exuding a youthful and sunny aura.
Her name was... Ayako Mitsuzuri.
When Ayako first enrolled at Homurahara Academy, she was immediately recognized as a top-tier beauty, both in appearance and demeanor.
The reason? Well, it was because the Type-Moon world only had a few character designs for beautiful girls.
A few days ago, Ayako had gained memories of the future.
In this worldline, she hadn't directly participated in the Holy Grail War, but due to her friendship with Sakura Matou, she had learned some things about it.
A battery.
Of course, Sakura wasn't the type to easily make friends.
The reason she befriended Ayako was to use her as a battery—to summon Akira.
In her search for the missing Akira, Sakura had dabbled in dangerous interdimensional rituals, but the summoning had failed.
As Akira's contractor, Sakura, after awakening her Imaginary Number abilities, had noticed certain individuals who were different from ordinary people.
Like herself, her sister Rin Tohsaka, and... Ayako Mitsuzuri.
If the offerings weren't enough, she would need to add more.
But to offer fortune and magical energy, simply having people wasn't enough—they had to be completely devoted.
So, Sakura had actively befriended Ayako, intending to use her someday.
Unfortunately, before she could, the worldline naturally derived by the world's consciousness had already shattered.
