Fate/Ultimate Antagonist

[109] You're Now My Daughter!

When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked.

This is a principle anyone can understand.

When Human Order demands proof of Chaldea's loyalty, accusing you of betrayal... you'd better truly have betrayed them.

Listening to Alvin recount Ritsuka Fujimaru's journey, Alvin couldn't help but let out a sigh of awe.

As the last remaining Master of humanity, the young girl had endured the arduous journey through seven Singularities. As she herself described, many times her survival hinged on the mercy of the enemy.

No, that's not entirely accurate.

Rather, it was the girl's own charisma that won over many Servants, earning their aid, including some who were originally on the opposing side.

Inspired by her unwavering spirit, these summoned Servants formed a force capable of truly shaking the history of mankind.

However, they were often limited by the capacity of ray shifting, meaning that when tackling a Singularity, only a few Servants could accompany her. This severely tested her judgment and leadership abilities as a Master.

More often than not, Ritsuka Fujimaru had to rely on the strength of the local Servants within each Singularity, using diplomacy and alliances to achieve her goals.

But what puzzled Ritsuka and Chaldea was an inexplicable and troubling occurrence...

"In London, the fourth Singularity, we encountered the King of the Demon Gods Goetia. He openly declared his true identity to us... he was the mastermind behind the human order incineration. Yet, he didn't deliver the final blow and left."

Why did Goetia spare them?

It was too bizarre.

This act was almost eerie in its strangeness.

Why did Goetia let them go?

Was it mercy?

Contempt?

Did he view them as insects that could be crushed at any moment and took pleasure in watching their futile struggles?

Ritsuka could still remember his expression.

"You are insects."

Descending upon the skies of London, the King of the Demon Gods looked down with indifferent eyes, his golden pupils devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

His overwhelming, abyssal aura spread out, and with a mere gesture, four Demon God Pillars crushed their ranks, plunging Chaldea into despair.

Yet... he left.

"If you are insects, then struggle to survive, and provide me with some entertainment in my boredom."

Leaving behind such words of scorn and mockery.

Goetia walked away without looking back.

As if he wanted to watch the girl's desperate struggles, he didn't deliver the final blow to the exhausted Ritsuka Fujimaru.

This allowed the last Master of Humanity to survive and eventually confront this Singurality and the King of the Demon Gods himself.

So, Goetia was also a sadist?

Alvin pondered, his eyes downcast.

"Goetia is too arrogant... weakness and ignorance aren't barriers to survival, but arrogance is."

In his eyes, perhaps Chaldea was nothing more than an insect that could be crushed at any moment.

But he overlooked one fact...
