===
On the other side. Just as Kirei Kotomine had said.
The Holy Grail had descended.
Due to Irisviel's reincarnation, Akira had obtained the Lesser Grail early on.
Of course, the Lesser Grail alone wasn't enough.
To complete the quest of obtaining both the Greater and Lesser Grails, Akira ventured into the underground of Ryuudou Temple, where he came into contact with the Celestial Grail.
[Ding!~]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the Villain Check-in!]
[Check-in Level: Silver.]
[Check-in Event: Holy Grail Seizure.]
[Requirement: Seize the Greater and Lesser Grails, gaining the ability to connect to the Root.]
[Fixed Mission Reward: A tool to restore the foundation of the host's contracted beast, "Agumon." The contracted beast "Agumon" will unlock a human form.]
"Weng~"
As the system's notification echoed, the Greater Grail in Akira's hands radiated an unprecedented brilliance.
"Is this Grail, enhanced by the system, the evolution tool for Agumon?"
Akira could indeed sense the power of the Root within it.
However, when he first obtained it, he hadn't felt this power.
After all, the Holy Grail only provided a means to reach the Root, not the Root itself.
"Agumon, this is for you."
"With this, you should be able to restore your foundation," Akira said as he tossed the Grail to Agumon, who was standing nearby.
[Huh?]
[Ohhh!~]
Agumon, caught off guard, fumbled a bit before catching the Grail.
"Akira, did you just say this can help me restore my foundation?"
Agumon widened her eyes in surprise.
The first time she had seen the Grail, she hadn't felt anything special.
But now, holding it in her hands, she could feel an undeniable attraction emanating from it!
Originally, to restore her foundation, she would have needed to absorb several Longinus-level Sacred Gears!
Yet, after the Grail passed through Akira's hands, it gained the ability to restore her foundation!?
As expected of a dimensional anomaly—his very existence defied logic.
Around him, anything was possible.
[Thank you, Akira.]
Though Agumon had grown much stronger, her gratitude and loyalty to Akira remained unchanged.
"Alright, Agumon, no need for formalities between us. Just absorb it quickly~"
[Before I do, can I make a request?] Agumon continued.
"Hmm? What request?" Akira was slightly surprised.
[Akira... After fully restoring my foundation, I should be able to take on a human form.]
[Once I gain my human form, could you call me by a different name?]
"What name?"
[Seiya.]
[That's the name I've chosen for myself.]
[I hope... you'll call me Seiya.] Agumon replied softly.
"Alright, I understand, Seiya."
Akira smiled helplessly.
Truthfully, he had already known about this name from Agumon's data.
Even if Agumon hadn't brought it up, he would have changed how he addressed her after she restored her foundation.
After all, calling a humanoid being "Agumon" would be far too strange.
[Thank you, Akira.]
Agumon gave Akira a deep look before plunging her hand into the Grail.
The metallic Grail transformed into flowing golden liquid, gradually enveloping Agumon's body.
Within seconds, all that remained in front of Akira was a large golden cocoon.
"Thump~"
"Thump! Thump!~"
The sound of a heartbeat echoed continuously.
With each beat, the sacred aura emanating from the golden cocoon grew stronger.
While Agumon was evolving, Akira opened the system interface to submit the world conquest mission.
[Ding!~]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the Villain Check-in!]
[Check-in Level: Rainbow.]
[Check-in Event: World Conquest.]
[Requirement: Gather enough fate energy to completely conquer this world.]
[Current Progress: 110%.]
[Holy Grail Seizure: 20%]
[Protagonist Fate Energy Seized: Kiritsugu Emiya (10%)]
[Heroine Fate Energy Seized: Rin Tohsaka (10%), Sakura Matou (10%), Illya (10%), Saber (10%), etc.]
[Remaining Fate Energy Collection Targets: Bazett (2.5%), Caren (2.5%), etc.]
[Total Percentage: 120%, exceeding 100%!]
[Ding!~]
[Congratulations to the host for conquering the Fate world!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Star Sea Dragon King's Soul (with a simulated Star Creation Diagram version).]
[Star Sea Dragon King's Soul: A pure-blooded dragon, the Star Lord of Tai Sui.
The unconscious soul of the Star Sea Dragon King possesses not only immense power as a pure-blooded dragon and star spirit but also the strongest sealing ability in the form of the simulated Star Creation Diagram—"Virtual Star Tai Sui."
Tai Sui, a deity in Taoist belief, governs the fortunes and misfortunes of the mortal world for a year.
The original "Virtual Star Tai Sui" could seal the strongest species, including gods, while halving the strength of all other races. Only dragon species were immune to its effects.
The system-enhanced "Virtual Star Tai Sui" retains the ability to seal all non-dragon entities and can also seal entire worlds.
Any conquered world can be sealed within the dragon soul's artifact. The more worlds sealed, the stronger the Star Sea Dragon King's Soul becomes.]
[Ding!]
[Detected a compatible reward for fusion. Would the host like to proceed?]
[Fusion Target: Red and White Dragon Dance & Star Sea Dragon King's Soul.]
[Fusion successful!]
"Boom!~"
As the fusion completed, the entire severed world cluster trembled violently!
"Roar!!!~"
Outside the world's barrier, in the dimensional sea, the massive phantom of a star dragon appeared.
As the phantom of the Star Sea Dragon King passed through, the entire Fate world cluster vanished from the dimensional rift.
The external disturbance woke Seiya.
The golden cocoon rapidly contracted before shattering.
A golden-haired, golden-eyed girl emerged from the cocoon.
Before she even fully stepped out, her voice reached Akira's ears.
[Akira! The world has undergone a strange change!]
"Yeah, I know. The change was caused by me. The severed world cluster is now under my control," Akira replied calmly.
[Ah? Ohhh, I see...]
Seiya nodded, still a bit confused.
Well, if it was Akira's doing, then it was all normal.
After all, Akira had the ability to expel world consciousness, so adding the ability to conquer worlds wasn't too far-fetched.
"Agumon... no... Seiya... you..."
Akira examined the golden-haired girl before him.
Her golden hair and golden eyes were mesmerizing, with a faint golden cross visible within her pupils.
Her long hair cascaded over a golden,镂空 outfit that resembled a mix of a mage's robe and armor, clinging to her radiant skin. It was a sight that could easily captivate anyone.
However, Akira wasn't one to be easily swayed by appearances.
In fact, it was Seiya who found herself drawn to him.
[Akira... have you... changed a bit?] Seiya glanced at him before quickly looking away.
"Yeah, my bloodline has evolved a bit further," Akira admitted.
To be precise, his high-dimensional succubus bloodline had evolved further.
His high-dimensional Leviathan bloodline hadn't yet completed its evolution.
Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful Seiya, Akira casually threw out an appraisal.
[Name: Seiya (♀)]
[Race: Fantasy Dragon-Type Data Beast]
[Level: LV285 (High-tier Super Devil)]
[Attribute Evaluation:]
[Strength: S+]
[Speed: S+]
[Magic: S+]
[Physical Defense: S+]
[Martial Arts/Magic Proficiency: SS (Innate affinity for both martial and magical arts, reaching world-class levels.)]
[Sacred Gear/Bloodline Abilities: SS (1. Data Bloodline: Can absorb data to strengthen itself. Up to a certain stage, it can grow stronger simply by obtaining the right data.)
(2. Sacred Bloodline: Possesses immense holy attributes, capable of defeating even the original Lucifer once fully matured.)
(3. Fantasy Crystal: Condenses the power of fantasy and dreams from two world clusters, capable of turning fantasy into reality.)]
[Overall Evaluation: S+ Tier Super Devil.]
[Summary: Born from the fusion of two massive world clusters, fueled by the power of fantasy from countless realms, and catalyzed by a high-dimensional existence, this data-type beast blurs the line between fantasy and reality, carving out a new possibility in a doomed future.]
"Impressive."
Akira nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Seiya's overwhelmingly powerful stats.
An S+ tier Super Devil meant she could now contend with gods! At the very least, she could handle a low-tier god without issue.
While Akira was observing her, Seiya shyly smoothed her golden hair.
[Oh... Akira, I almost forgot, there's one more thing.]
"What is it?"
[It's about... my evolution materials.] Seiya's face turned slightly red.
This wasn't out of shyness but rather embarrassment.
[Because of my evolution, the materials I extorted from Azazel might not be enough anymore.] Seiya poked her fingers together nervously.
"Not enough? How much more do you need?"
[About 99% more...]
As she said this, Seiya's ears turned bright red.
She remembered the time when she had devoured a massive amount of data, leaving Akira's wallet completely drained. Back then, Akira had just discovered her ability to grow stronger by purifying and absorbing data.
Clap~
Seiya clasped her hands together and closed her eyes, making a solemn promise.
[Akira, I'll handle my evolution materials myself! Since I've already infiltrated the Fallen Angels through your avatar, I'll work hard to research Sacred Gears and earn money!]
Akira couldn't help but laugh at her determination.
He marveled at how diligent a Digimon had to be to gather its own evolution materials.
If he really let Seiya handle it all herself, he'd feel like a terrible partner.
"Don't worry, Seiya. With the resources from selling Phoenix Blood, even a hundred times the materials won't be a problem."
"Seiya... listen carefully to what I'm about to say," Akira's expression turned serious.
[Okay... I'm listening...] Seiya nodded earnestly.
"Good. Seiya, you need to remember that you are a being with the power to transcend worlds, my contracted sacred beast.
Your focus should be on honing your skills and developing your abilities, not worrying about trivial matters like money.
If you're troubled by such things, then it's my failure as your partner. Do you understand?"
[Yes, I'll work hard!]
Seiya nodded vigorously before stepping closer to Akira and lowering her head slightly.
Akira was familiar with this gesture.
Every time Seiya did this, he responded the same way.
"Alright, keep up the good work, Seiya."
With a smile, Akira reached out and gently patted her soft, golden hair.
Feeling the warmth of his hand, Seiya couldn't help but close her eyes in contentment.
[Mmm...]
This feeling was something Seiya had missed and cherished deeply.
After obtaining the Holy Grail, Akira began wrapping up loose ends in the Fate world.
While he had already secured the major rewards, he didn't want to waste the smaller ones.
The appearance of the Grail had drawn the attention of many.
However, Akira had no intention of dealing with them.
The world was already under his control, and minor issues weren't worth his time.
If necessary, a mass memory alteration would suffice.
After all, brainwashing was far more effective than something like a "gas explosion."
Speaking of brainwashing, Akira recalled something else.
"By the way," he muttered.
"When I saved Shirley earlier, I obtained a trace of faith energy from that island.
Now that I have several world clusters under my control...
Should I start gathering faith in these worlds?"
As Akira pondered this, he noticed that many had witnessed the descent of the Holy Grail.
Among them was Ayako Mitsuzuri.
Living in the Einzbern Castle, Ayako had seen the beam of light that pierced through Fuyuki City.
Using her sacred cross to enhance her vision, she tried to see what was happening.
What she saw was the Holy Grail, enhanced by the system, in real-time.
Perhaps due to her appearance, upon seeing the enhanced Grail, she felt something and instinctively covered her eyes.
When she opened them again, the world seemed... different.
