=====

Undoubtedly, if the Fate Compendium was merely an impassive recording system, it wouldn't be worthy of being a must-have cheat for a transmigrator.

Upon fulfilling any record condition, the Fate Compendium can grant a reward.

The reward for Sakatsuki, who successfully escaped Ainsworth City and met the condition, was the magical crystal of the Ainsworth family, accumulated over a millennium—Displacement Magic.

Although the essence and principles of Displacement magic were not disclosed to him, as someone uninterested in uncovering the mysteries of magic, as long as it worked like a skill in a video game, it was enough for him.

Even though Angelica immediately pursued Sakatsuki after his escape, this time, he didn't have to stay put to protect his sister. Armed with Substitution Magic, Sakatsuki adopted the guerrilla tactics of retreating when the enemy advances, harassing when the enemy camps, evading capture and even causing considerable trouble for Angelica.

However—

"This won't do. As long as I remain in this world, Ainsworth, especially Angelica who has obtained the power of the King of Heroes, will always find me."

Thinking this, Sakatsuki couldn't help but chuckle.

"Entrusting everything to me, Emiya Shirou you have given me a tough problem to solve."

King of Heroes, Gilgamesh.

An extremely powerful king possessing all the treasures of the world, even the weapon that could split heaven and earth is among his limitless treasury.

As if bound by a curse, no matter which worldline, the existence known as Emiya Shirou would always oppose the most ancient King of Heroes.

With these thoughts, Sakatsuki stopped in front of an elementary school. As the flow of magic surged through his body, a red-etched magic circle began to form around him. After materializing, it merged into the ground and disappeared.

As the magic circle disappeared from his view, Sakatsuki raised his brow and turned towards the direction of the church.

"My magic circle has been triggered... Angelica?"

As he spoke, he didn't stop moving, another more complex and intricate magic circle formed and spread in the direction of the elementary school. The moment it enveloped the school, it too vanished from sight.

"A woman who chases too hard isn't likeable... At least give a man some personal space."

***

Inside the Church.

Using a Class Card, Angelica, who had gained the power of the King of Heroes, was surrounded by golden ripples. Treasures from the Gate of Babylon poured out, blocking the overwhelming magic beams that filled the sky and ultimately destroying the magic circle along with it.

The church turned to ruins from the aftermath of the battle. The golden-haired, armoured Angelica scanned the surroundings with a blank expression. After confirming that the annoying guy hadn't appeared, she reached into the golden ripple beside her, retrieving a compass from the Gate of Babylon.

Staring at the rapidly moving red dot on the compass, Angelica murmured.

"What is this guy... trying to do?"

The Hero King's treasury contains all the originals or prototypes of human inventions. This compass is a prototype tracker, capable of tracking Sakatsuki's position after gathering the traces he left behind. However, as a prototype, it lacks the precision of its later generations, only indicating a general area where the target was located. This was why Angelica mistook his location at a department store at dusk, giving Sakatsuki more time to escape.

This time, however, Angelica did not immediately pursue but instead lowered her head respectfully, softly calling out.

"Lord Darius."

In an instant, space shifted, and a small doll appeared on Angelica's shoulder. Its pale white eyes stared at the golden-haired maid as it uttered in a low voice.

"Though it's hard to believe, we must admit—Emiya Shirou, this guy has indeed mastered our Ainsworth's Displacement Magic."

"He now calls himself as Sakatsuki, Lord Darius."

The doll's head tilted slightly, conveying a sense of surprise.

"Sakatsuki... Sakatsuki... If I recall correctly that's the name of the family that birthed the Divine Child. If I'm not mistaken, the entire Sakatsuki family, except for Miyu Sakatsuki, has been annihilated, right?"

"Indeed."

The doll suddenly fell silent, as if the individual controlling the doll was confused. Angelica remained silent too. Despite the urgency of capturing Sakatsuki, she did not interrupt Darius's sudden curiosity.

Perhaps in Lord Darius's eyes, the importance of capturing Sakatsuki paled in comparison to his curiosity.

"Hmm... Could it be due to longing for his sister? And that sudden Displacement Magic... Speaking of which, how did he even survive the dungeon and seize the Class Cards I painstakingly made? Hmm, it seems someone is running out of patience."

The doll's head suddenly drooped. When it lifted again, the individual in control of the doll had changed.

"Sakatsuki... So you've finally abandoned your past?"

With a sneer, a younger voice ordered, "I've had enough of this cat-and-mouse game. Angelica, you're permitted to use your Noble Phantasm to destroy his hiding place completely."

Only when facing this voice, of this man did Angelica's lifeless expression show slight ripples of emotion.

"But, Lord Julian..."

"Don't worry about the mana consumption or the damage to the buildings," her words were mercilessly interrupted. The man controlling the doll looked out at the sunlit Ainsworth Castle, his eyes filled with stormy snow.

"As for Emiya Shirou... No, Emiya Sakatsuki. He's no longer the person I once knew. It doesn't matter if he's killed—depicting the final myth of old humanity must not be disrupted by anyone."

After saying this, the doll lost control and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces with a crisp sound.

Angelica stood silently, looking at the broken doll on the ground. After a long time, she picked it up.

"Understood, Lord Julian."

A sword rose from below, standing in front of Angelica.

—Can this weapon truly be called a sword?

Its form was too solemn, too bizarre. If the gold-blue hilt still resembled a long sword, its most crucial part—the blade—was far from human definitions of a sword.

It consisted of three rotating cylindrical blades, each marked with ancient crimson runes, each symbolizing Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld, rotating in different directions to display the world's inherent forms.

And the combination of these three blades signifies... the universe itself.

This is one of the most prized treasures in the King of Heroes's treasury.

This is the sword crowned with the name of a god in Mesopotamian mythology.

This was the weapon that cleaved the heavens and earth at the beginning of the planet, symbolizing the sword of origin and end.

"Declaration of Genesis."

Angelica raised the Sword of Rupture. Amid the surging torrent of magical energy, an icy voice proclaimed the Noble Phantasm's true name.

"Enuma Elish!"

From several kilometres away, the beam of magical energy—with the power to separate heaven and earth and reconstruct order—roared forth. Tearing through all creation in its path, swallowing the location marked on the tracking compass where Sakatsuki stood in the blink of an eye!
