-Town of Fuyuki.
3rd POV*
Lawrence controlled the concept of time and made it revert back a few minutes ago. The process was complicated yet fast, it did not took long before time began moving again. Lawrence restored the rift he made successfully erasing the Chronosphere it created. He then sighed in relief sensing that everything is fine now, he sat back returning to his previous position.
"Now, shall we continue the talk?" Lawrence smiled at the dumbfounded Kings, he seemed to not mind that they were gawking at him. "W-What was that?" Saber asked backing away from Lawrence making Irisviel confused as she did not know what just happened. Waver was also puzzled seeing the always confident Iskandar falter. It was out of his character.
"R-Rider, what just occurred?" Waver asked slowly getting closer to Rider. Rider shielded Waver from Lawrence feeling threat from him, even within his crazy experience, he has never seen something like that before. "This bastard just stopped and reversed time, beware" Rider informed Waver making the boy shiver from the news. "W-What? That would mean he… reached the level of Sorcery?!" Waver muttered not knowing to do.
This statement made everyone realized that this man was the one that casted the first Sunstrike on Archer. The mere force of that spell was enough to leave Archer heavily wounded, he is probably the only one who could do that. And considering Caster's Magic performance before, it was easy to connect where she learned that ability.
"Don't mind the small details, we can continue the talk right? Also, Rider can you grant my request and stop whatever you wanted to do with Saber? She needs to realize it herself, though I do wonder if she can do that" Lawrence shrugged their gazes off. Him doing that infront of many eyes will certainly gain some unnecessary attentions but he does not care.
Rider closed his eyes for a moment before responding, "Alright, it's not like we could continue after what just happened. I won't interfere with Saber's thoughts anymore" Rider backed down not wishing to converse with this abomination anymore. For the first time since coming to this reality, people recognized Lawrence's horror.
It was an amusing situation because normally any Eldritch being would simply cause chaos wherever they go and their names will immediately embed fear to anyone in that reality. Lawrence is an unique one, he didn't really pursue causing destruction. He preferred enjoying his life more, he was like Nyarlathotep but without his cult.
"Hm? How come? I just joined your discussion, are you going to end the banquet soon? That would be disappointing" Lawrence commented forcing everyone to twitch their eyes at him. He has the guts to say that when he is the one who created the mess! Archer was silent for a second before golden ripples started appearing behind him. The humiliation he suffered from last time is still active on his brain, he could not simply calm without making the initiator suffer.
Lawrence raised his eyebrows at that action, "Do you want to fight King of Heroes Gilgamesh?" he asked revealing his identity. This exposure closed the holes on other's minds, they were also curios about this arrogant king's identity. It was astounding how Lawrence easily disclosed it causing more irritation from the said person. "Not only are you a mongrel but also a buffoon. You really believe that you can escape this place alive?" Archer claimed.
"Who said I need your permission? Besides, we can talk about fighting later, we have some guests" Lawrence said looking around. Realizing they were discovered, the assassins revealed themselves to the group of Kings. "Is this your doing, goldilocks?" Rider asked staring at the newcomers in confusion. Archer clicked his tongue watching the scene, "Tokiomi, you and your boorish scheme"
"Assassin? But I thought he was already…" Waver's question was cut off when the assassin's started talking. "We who are divided. A Servant who is many and also one. But a Servant who is one, with many… shadows" Assassin said. "A Servant simply multiple personalities materialized into separate bodies?" Waver concluded.
Saber raised her sword and protected Irisviel, "R..Rider, hey…" Waver called out to Rider feeling frightened by this phenomenon. He is more scared about the multiple servants rather than the time reverse, the reason? He didn't witness it himself. Ignorance is sometimes a bliss after all, Waver is just lucky that he didn't get to observe that phenomenon.
"Come, come, boy. Don't fret so. Even if they are enemies, I have no problem with letting them listen to the king's banquet. Come! Anyone who wanted to listen come here and drink! This wine shall be your blood!" Rider raised the scoop in the air waiting for any of the assassin's to come closer. Sadly the only thing that greeted him was the kukrit dagger flying in the air piercing the scoop. The wine spilled on the ground making Lawrence shake his head.
"So that's how it is. I said it didn't I? This wine shall be your blood, if you insist on spilling it then… I have no qualms" Rider said as strong wind gushed out from his body. His white T-shirt was replaced with his battle armor. "King of Hell, I will at least show my power to the King of Knights. I hope you won't interfere" Rider said without looking at Lawrence.
"Hm, your call" Lawrence shrugged it off, Rider can boast about his army to Saber and she won't still believe on him. She will follow her own rules and will never accept being reprimanded by others, she is a King! Rider perhaps already aware that Lawrence would accept immediately started forming his Reality Marble.
The surroundings were showered in light consuming everyone, they opened their eyes only to see a whole new world infront of them. "N-No way, a reality marble?" Irisviel muttered in disbelief. It was her first time seeing one. "Ahhhhh! What the hell is this?" Waver ran towards Rider asking for answers, he didn't know he had an ability like this!
Lawrence and Archer were the only persons who could stay calm as even Nero was happily running around showing how excited she was for this. "Umu! This thing is nice! I wish to have one too!" Nero shouted freaking out Lawrence. "Oi, oi, don't tell me…" he muttered looking at Nero who was standing seriously on a spot. She was focusing on something and this made him and Shiki sweat drop. They are aware of what she is doing.
It would be a disaster if she can really recreate a whole Reality Marble all for herself. "Guuuh… its hard" Nero muttered because even with her talent, she could not learn it immediately. That sentence made Shiki and Lawrence sigh in relief, with this realization, Nero will surely stop. Or that should what happen, "Umu! I just need to put more effort, I can feel it! I can learn this thing!" Nero shouted pumping her fist in enthusiasm.
"Look! Stare and bewildered! A king must not be alone! No! he can never be alone" Rider or Iskandar shouted revealing his endless army to the group. "This is crazy! A-All of them are servants!" Waver stated. "The people who embarked with me still lived inside my heart! They will never separate with me for that is their commitment for their King!" Rider proclaimed loudly causing the soldiers to roar in response.
Shiki stared at the army with interested gaze, "Impressive" she muttered holding her dagger tightly. She stared at Lawrence who just nodded his head in approval, seeing that Shiki did not hesitate anymore and just vanished on the spot. She reappeared in the center of Assassin's formation catching them by surprise. Shiki then began her slaughter giving no time for the Assassin to respond.
She moved in a speed that they could not comprehend, all they could see were blurs before their consciousness were robbed from them. "Pathetic" Shiki muttered cutting the last Assassin's head. She then turned around and return to Lawrence's side ignoring the gaping reaction from others. Even Servants were having a hard time seeing her figure so for them, it was just a single instance before all Assassin dropped on the floor beheaded.
Iskandar on the other hand was silent, he saw potential from the girl from the first time they met, he even wanted to invite her in his army but now seeing this scene, he understood that he was mistaken. This girl does not have a talent to be groomed, she was already fully blooming besides the man she has chosen for herself. This made Iskandar sigh in regret.
He also lost the chance to showcase the power of his army, he was about to cancel the Reality Marble when they suddenly heard Nero exclaiming. "Umu! I got it! It was that easy after all!" they all stared at her wondering what she just discovered but all of their curiosity turned into fullblown shock when a same light emitted from Nero's body.
The whole world around them got overridden by a new system with it being Nero's Reality Marble. The place changed, from the sandy hills into a beautiful and grand theater. It was full with the color of red that it is almost blinding, they were dazzled by this scene but the next one baffled them. Nero's body magically appeared in the stage holding a mic in one hand.
She has a happy smile on her face being able to complete this world, she has dreamt of returning to this time where she could shower the audience with her malevolence! Just thinking about it made Nero grin widely. "Shiki, cut off your sensation of hearing" Lawrence said making Shiki wonder what will happen but still heeded his words.
Rider also heard what Lawrence said, "Boy, close your ears. It seems like we will be hearing something scary today" Rider laughed patting Waver's back. "O-Ow! That hurts!" Waver complained feeling a strong pain from his back. "Show? How rubbish, even the rostrum is pure gibberish. Who created this thing? It is unsightly" Archer snarled at how idiotic the design was.
Lawrence also had to agree with Archer, although the stage was beautiful, it was overly decorated. Staying at this place will require some rather strong resolution as it would only cause your brain to overheat. "Wait what?" Lawrence then realized something about this place. He turned to Nero who happily waved at him.
"Did you discovered it master? This place enhance any sensation and emotions you have! I can freely control that thing inside this place of mine! Umu! Befitting talent for an Emperor!" Nero said nodding her head thinking that her decision was great. Color faded from Lawrence's face hearing that, "W-Wait Nero, cancel this effect on me-" All hell was let loose.
