Fate/Ultimate Antagonist

[108] New Chaldea

As the silver-haired Alvin transformed into a blazing spirit, he delved into Tiamat's mental space.

The colossal draconic corpus of the Primordial Mother stood still, frozen in a peculiar stasis.

The goddesses and humans present, standing at the base of the cliff, watched this scene with intense anticipation.

"Alvin, the Son of the White Dragon? Even my Sha Naqba Imuru cannot glimpse his true existence... He is as enigmatic as Chaos itself."

Gilgamesh muttered, pacing anxiously. If he could have seen Alvin's true form, he would have done so long ago and wouldn't need anyone to remind him.

Any Heroic Spirit whose existence is inscribed in human history can be seen through the Sha Naqba Imuru, a power that allows Gilgamesh to instantly discern their true name, no matter how well they try to hide it.

However, even with the simultaneous activation of his Sha Naqba Imuru, he couldn't perceive any trace of the existence of this Son of the White Dragon.

This clearly indicated...

This black knight possessed the trait of Anti-Humanity.

He hadn't inscribed his existence in the Throne of Heroes, so the Human Order had no authority over him.

"As a Beast, if he fails to retrieve Tiamat, it wouldn't be a big deal. Chaldea claims he can completely destroy Tiamat, and I believe them.

"But if he goes mad, he would be a thousand, no, ten thousand times more terrifying than the Primordial Mother...

"...Ritsuka, where on earth did you find such a monster? You seem so confident that he can resolve everything perfectly. Are you two well-acquainted?"

Gilgamesh's words hung in the air.

Two goddesses, both bearing the face of Rin Tohsaka, also turned their gazes toward the red-haired girl.

"...I didn't bring him out."

"To say we are well-acquainted is an overstatement. I do hope to get to know Alvin better, though."

Ever since they parted in Londinium, she had been desperate to summon Alvin, almost to the point of madness.

Yet, despite pouring all her summoning resources in Chaldea into it, she ended up summoning Alvin's father instead.

"No matter how perfectly I set the tags, it always seemed like Oberon just popped up to ruin the pool!"

"...Blame me, huh?"

Oberon, lazily wrapping himself in his wings, floated in his small fairy form behind Ritsuka Fujimaru. Now that his son had taken over, he could slack off.

"Do you think I wanted to come out? I'm the doomsday device of Faerie Britain, and right after being summoned, Chaldea pulled me in to save humanity here. Who even understands this?"

"No matter what, summoning Alvin was a great achievement, Oberon!"

Ritsuka Fujimaru grabbed the tiny Faerie King and rubbed him affectionately against her cheek.

"Yosh yosh yosh~ Oberon! I, Ritsuka Fujimaru, hereby declare you as my dad from now on!"

"Ugh... This is getting nauseating." Oberon muttered, trying to float a bit further away from this human master.

"Don't call me dad! Just so you know, I will never acknowledge you as my daughter-in-law!"

"Who cares if you do or not." Ritsuka Fujimaru said dismissively, waving her hand. "I finally figured it out. If I just leave you on the FATE system, I'll definitely be able to summon Alvin when I return to Chaldea!"
