Chapter 318: Mess Up? (2)

—

Singularities of Fate/Grand Order.

In 2016, humanity went extinct—leaving behind only a research lab located on a snowy mountain. That was Chaldea.

As the last remaining humans, the people of this lab wished to resurrect humanity by stopping the scheme of the fake King of Mages, Solomon.

Solomon had placed Seven Holy Grails in seven different parallel worlds, these worlds were called Seven Singularities.

The Time zone in these different worlds was a lot different compared to 2016. Such as one was going through in the era of Babylon, while another was in a modern world.

But all Singularities had one thing in common. These worlds were destined to be destroyed, they were historical points that were destined to fall into ruin.

The Grails sent by Solomon were to collect the world's energy when it finally perished, to later be collected by Solomon. If all Seven Grails were collected by Solomon, then he would win and humanity would be extinct for real.

In 2016, on December 31st, the research lab titled Chaldea decided to send a group of teens to these other timelines, these other worlds, to collect the Grails for themselves and put a stop to Solomon's schemes, therefore saving humanity in this main timeline.

However, due to an internal betrayal by one of the main staff of Chaldea, the entire facility was nearly destroyed. As a result, the group of teens was frozen in stasis.

Only two girls from this program remained safe. Fujimaru Ritsuka, the last Master of Humanity, and her to-be Servant Mash Kyrielight remained amongst the group of teens. The remaining members of Chaldea managed to repair the facility and keep it going to then send these two teens across the Singularities.

Before now, they had visited Five of these singularities, and a few hours ago Chaldea had sent them to the 6th Singularity.

"Therefore, we were supposed to be in Jerusalem, located in the Kingdom of Judah," said Da Vinci while rolling her finger in her hair. "But here we are in Uruk, Babylon, which was said to be the 7th Singularity. Unless Chaldea made a blunder, which I doubt they did since I was there to oversee things, then I think it's your use of the Grail that made things this way."

Da Vinci was standing in the hall before the throne, with Fujimaru and Mash beside her, and she was talking while addressing 'King Gilgamesh' who sat on his throne. The new King sat there with a contemplative look on his face while Siduri was by his side.

While the King contemplated, Fujimaru whispered to Da Vinci. "Wait so, if he already used the Holy Grail, then..."

"Then why is this Singularity still ongoing? It should have perished by now." Mash finished her Master's question.

"There is another Grail," Da Vinci said. "Since this Singularity mixed with the Sixth one, the Sixth Grail should be in this world as well. Also, I doubt the Grail he used was the same one Solomon sent here. Gilgamesh always had a Grail with him every time he appeared as a Servant across history. That Grail was his personal one, which means this world has at least two more Grails."

"Ah." Both Fujimaru and Mash exclaimed softly, blinking in surprise. They once again realized why this person was called the Universal Genius.

Soon, the King sighed and looked at Da Vinci. "This makes things problematic. I was planning to deal with the Three Goddess Alliance first, but if the problems of Sixth Singularity are here too—meaning the crazy Lion King and his Knights of the Round Table—then I have to take care of them first."
