Upon reaching the summit of Mount Enzou, they saw the golden boat hover ominously before dropping several munitions.

"Boom, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!"

The munitions fell and exploded violently at the top of Mount Enzou, causing a terrifying explosion!

"Is this a joke?" Rin and Luvia looked at the intense explosion, their scalps tingling.

However, Rin's keen eyes caught something odd. Despite the violent explosion, Ryuudou Temple, also located on Mount Enzou, remained untouched. It's like there's some mysterious force protecting it from harm.

As they looked on, a subtle golden glow enveloped Ryuudou Temple, and to their surprise, a faint image of a golden wheel appeared, hovering in the sky just above the temple.

Luvia and Rin exchanged puzzled glances, briefly questioning if their eyes were playing tricks on them. However, Astraea was very certain that she hadn't seen wrong. She trusted her instincts, and she had good reason to – after all, how could the eyes of God be wrong?

However, precisely because she hadn't been mistaken, her heart was filled with astonishment.

"Is this a joke? The one who reaches the truth of the world is actually here?" She was extremely amazed and couldn't help but say, "Is there something wrong with this world? Having a King who can alter the course of human history is already bad enough, but even someone who reaches the truth of the world appears here? Is there a serious problem with this world?"

"What do you mean by reaching the truth of the world?"

Astraea shook her head and said, "It's hard to explain. Anyway, that temple is very safe. If you're afraid of getting hurt, hide in that temple."

"Look—what is that?" Luvia pointed to the sky, her tone filled with astonishment.

Astraea and Rin followed her gaze, their eyes widening as they witnessed the pitch-black night sky suddenly illuminated by a golden hand silhouette. It was a sight they had never seen before.

Then, to their amazement, the golden hand aimed directly at the golden boat and swung downward with tremendous force.

"Boom!" The golden boat was effortlessly smacked like a mere fly, causing it to explode in a shower of sparks. The Heroic Spirit on board was sent sprawling by the blow.

Rin and Luvia were left utterly dumbfounded by the unexpected turn of events.

Astraea let out a sigh and quietly whispered to herself, "The Enlightened One..."

Inside Ryuudou Temple, Issei was flipping through a suspicious book in the Enlightened One's room while biting his fingernails and trembling.

The master, who had awakened from his meditation, had come to his senses!

The Enlightened One glanced at Issei and said, "One should cultivate a pure heart, free from attachment to worldly desires."

Then, he closed his eyes again.

Issei hesitated for a moment, hid the little book in his pants, and sneaked a look outside the room where the monks were cleaning. He patted his chest in relief and then lay back down, continuing to read the book.

...

"Boom!" The ground shook beneath them, catching Shirou's attention as he was busy tutoring Ritsuka with her homework. He furrowed his brow and turned to Miyu, who was tidying up her own work.

"Miyu, could you help Ritsuka with this question?"

She paused for a moment and nodded, "Of course, Fujimaru-nii."
