"She blocked it! Mash is awesome!!!"
"It's not over yet!"
Belle stared intently at the battle, consumed the second Command Spell without hesitation, and pointed at Andersen on the high platform in the rear.
"Andersen, max out the buffs for the whole team!"
As the light of the second Command Spell flashed, a giant book radiating the brilliance of fairy tales unfolded with a bang in front of Andersen.
"Märchen Meines Lebens!"
A melodious fairy tale melody rang out, and golden buff light instantly enveloped the entire scene, significantly strengthening the attack and defense of all Servants present!
"The last Command Spell!"
Belle raised her right hand high, the last blood-red tattoo on the back of her hand completely dissipated, and she pointed at the plot-support [Caster Cu Chulainn] on the high platform.
"Caster Cu! With Andersen's buffs, take her out!"
As the light of the third Command Spell was injected, Caster Cu Chulainn, wreathed in Rune magic, leaped high. Feeling the surging magical energy within him and the powerful buffs, he slammed his staff onto the ground:
"Let me show you the secret arts of the Druids! Burn to ashes—[Wicker Man]!"
A massive giant of fire, composed of burning deadwood, rose from the ground. It roared and hugged Saber Alter tightly, who was in a stiff state after unleashing her ultimate, and then triggered an extremely violent explosion!
Boom—!
Fire lit up the sky.
When the smoke cleared, that blackened Knight King, who had brought endless despair, finally turned into specks of golden spirit particles and dissipated into the ruins.
[Prologue: Singularity F - Cleared!]
"We won... we won..."
Looking at the results screen, Belle slumped in her chair, crying and laughing.
Although they won, the Director's death still weighed on her heart and the hearts of all the viewers like a giant stone.
This was the shock that "FGO" brought them—there were no cheap, perfect endings; every victory came with a heavy price.
As the Singularity collapsed, a blinding white light swallowed Belle's vision.
[Spiritron Transfer, returning to Chaldea.]
...
I don't know how much time passed. A soothing, healing piano BGM ("My Room"), which seemed capable of smoothing over all pain, gently sounded in Belle's ear.
She slowly opened her eyes.
Where her gaze fell, it was no longer burning scorched earth and dead, silent space.
It was an extremely cozy, independent bedroom, full of a sci-fi feel yet not lacking in the atmosphere of daily life.
A soft bed, a tidy desk, and some magic-style decorations hanging on the walls.
The most stunning part was the giant floor-to-ceiling window; outside the window, there was a vast, snow-covered mountain with goose-feather-sized snowflakes falling.
"Senpai, are you awake?"
Mash stood by the bed, smiling, holding a steaming cup of coffee.
Fou lay at her feet, purring contentedly.
This scene of extreme contrast instantly broke Belle's defenses, who had just been struggling on the line of life and death for three hours.
"Wuwuwu... Mash, my wife! We survived!"
The millions of viewers in the stream also sighed; this feeling of contrast, going from hell back to heaven, was simply amazing.
"Is this the player's 'My Room'? The atmosphere is done so well!"
"Listening to this BGM and watching the heavy snow outside the window, I feel like my soul has been healed."
"Senpai, Dr. Roman wants us to go to Da Vincis Workshop; there are some supplies that need to be replenished."
Mash reminded her softly.
Under the guidance of the system, Belle left [My Room], arrived at the end of the corridor in Chaldea, and pushed open a door full of gears and alchemical style.
"Welcome to Da Vinci's Workshop!"
Accompanied by an extremely playful and sexy greeting, an unparalleled beauty with soft, long brown hair, wearing a gorgeous magic robe, and holding a mechanical staff in her hand, appeared in everyone's view with an impeccable smile.
"I am Leonardo Da Vinci. That's right, the all-around genius you're thinking of. From now on, leave Chaldea's logistics and supplies to me, the super profiteer, hehe."
The perverts in the stream instantly rioted:
"Holy crap! Da Vinci is a woman?!"
"Doesn't matter, as long as she looks good, let alone Da Vinci, even if she were Newton, I'd accept it!"
"Wife +1! Where did the producer find so many top-tier big shots? These character models are better than the last!"
The UI interface of Da Vincis Workshop was extremely exquisite. Not only could you exchange various materials for upgrade resources here, but there was also an extremely conspicuous module—
[Material].
Belle clicked in curiously.
Suddenly, a scroll of Heroic Spirits as vast as the starry sky unfolded before her, containing all the Servants she had drawn so far.
Clicking on [Lancer Cu Chulainn], not only could she rotate his extremely exquisite 3D model 360 degrees, but there were also dense [Character Biography] and [Mythological Research] on the side!
What was even better was that there was a whole row of [Voice Unlock] buttons at the bottom!
As the [Bond Level] between the character and Belle increased on the battlefield, these voices would gradually unlock.
Belle casually clicked on the [Bond Lv.1] voice that had just been unlocked because of the battle.
Cu Chulainn's wild and magnetic voice rang in her ears:
"Yo, Master, are we going to cause a scene somewhere today too? My spear has been itching for a fight for a long time."
"Holy crap..."
Belle was stunned, and the viewers in the stream were also stunned.
In the games of this world, characters were just a string of combat stats used for fighting, to be thrown away after use.
But "FGO" told them: what you drew was definitely not just a card.
It was a living, breathing "hero" with flesh and blood, with their own mythological epics, and who would even speak different heartfelt words to you based on your intimacy with them!
"This isn't just some reskinned tower defense..."
Belle looked at the vivid faces in the Material list, listened to the cheerful music in Da Vincis Workshop, and muttered to herself: "This is clearly a living, breathing world."
