The Arrival in Fuyuki City
Fuyuki City.
On the silent streets of the night, just then—
Click—
A black hole appeared, and a figure was ejected from within.
This figure was Haruto.
"Damn it, my head is so dizzy. Traveling to this world actually felt like being spun around in a passage; it's like being flushed down a toilet," Haruto complained.
Haruto looked around. He seemed to have been sent to a small alley and found that there was no one around.
Far away in an ancient palace, two young girls were seated at a round table, watching the scene of Haruto's arrival in this world.
These two girls are world-renowned existences in the Type-Moon universe: Alaya and Gaia—the two major Counter Forces.
As the restraining power of primates, Alaya is the collective consciousness that prioritizes human beings and prevents their extinction. Meanwhile, Gaia's will is that of the Earth itself; as long as the planet survives, nothing else matters. Consequently, Alaya often has more work to do than Gaia.
"Gaia, it seems that someone from another world has arrived."
Alaya took a sip of tea, a hint of interest appearing on her face.
"Oh, so are you going to kill him?" Gaia replied expressionlessly.
"Humph~ Leave him alone for now; let's observe the situation. We can watch from here, gather information about him, and then judge whether he poses a threat."
"Alaya, you're a voyeur," Gaia said flatly.
"Hey, how can you say that about me? I'm doing this for the sake of the world! What if he's a guy who destroys everything?" Alaya protested wildly. "We are best friends, how could you say such a thing to me?"
At this time, Haruto was communicating with his System.
[Ding! The host has successfully arrived in the Type-Moon World and received a Mysterious Novice Gift Pack. Do you want to open it?]
The mechanical electronic voice echoed in Haruto's mind.
Haruto was pleasantly surprised: "Sure enough, there's a novice gift pack." He was familiar with this kind of routine.
"Open it," Haruto said silently.
[Ding! Opening the Mysterious Novice Gift Pack. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the: [Perfect Enhanced Version of Ancient Doomsday Gene].]
Hiss—
Haruto's eyes went dull for a moment, unable to believe what he heard.
What did he just hear? Doomsday? Is it the Doomsday he was thinking of?
[Ding! Yes, Master, it is exactly what you think. After systematic improvement and strengthening, this Doomsday gene is countless times stronger than the original. It is truly immortal and indestructible, capable of infinite evolution. No matter the source—be it the sun or any other form of energy—it will trigger evolution.]
Haruto's eyes burned with excitement. This was the real Doomsday—not the weakened version from the movies, but the Ancient Doomsday from the comics. He would have no fear of Kryptonite; any attack would fail to work a second time. It was even more formidable than a Saint Seiya.
An infinitely evolving monster. Even DC writers could hardly describe the magnitude of such a creature. According to the comics, he couldn't be killed without the ability to modify concepts—perhaps only the Wall of Origin could hold him.
With the version strengthened by the System, his capabilities far exceeded the original. Haruto estimated that if he continued to evolve, even the supreme gods of DC might not be able to erase him.
"This is it... I'm taking off!"
With this power, tearing Heroic Spirits apart with his bare hands or kicking 'Beasts' would be an easy task.
While Haruto was reveling in his surprise, he was unaware that his appearance was being watched by a figure from above.
Ryougi Shiki was born into the Ryougi family, one of the four clans of demon hunters. Possessing the [Mystic Eyes of Death Perception] which allow her to see and cut the lines of death, she possesses multiple personalities.
One is her own personality, representing the feminine aspect; the primary "Shiki." Another is the sub-personality representing masculinity, "SHIKI." The last one is connected to the Root—the original personality, "Void Shiki."
She had come to the roof overlooking the alley following the "instructions" of her Root personality, which sensed that something interesting was about to happen.
There, she witnessed Haruto emerging from the black hole.
"Is he... insane?" Shiki thought, looking at Haruto with a startled and somewhat speechless expression.
At that moment, the personality switched to Void Shiki. Due to her connection to the Root, she exuded a beauty that was ethereal and transcendent.
In the Clock Tower, there is a family that pursues the Root through the cultivation of beauty—the Golden and Silver Princesses. But Void Shiki's beauty was inherent, stemming directly from the Root itself.
Usually, Void Shiki is indifferent to the world, leaving control to Shiki. But now, she was attracted. Looking at Haruto, she felt an impulse and a pull from her very soul. She was curious—what could possibly make her soul throb like this?
She studied Haruto carefully. He was remarkably handsome, possessing a fascination that seemed to transcend even the beauty of the Root.
On the ground, Haruto remained unaware of his audience and prepared to fuse with the Doomsday gene.
"System, begin the integration," Haruto commanded silently.
[Ding! Starting merger.]
BOOM—
A powerful aura erupted from Haruto, causing the surrounding pavement to shatter.
Ryougi Shiki, on the roof, frowned. "I can't see through him... this aura is incredibly powerful."
The process was agonizing. Haruto's blood boiled as if it were being cooked; his cells were dying and regenerating at an insane speed. Pain lashed his nerves as blood seeped through his skin.
After several minutes, the bleeding stopped. Haruto felt a wave of euphoria as his cells stabilized. He felt an endless well of power within him. His clothes had long since disintegrated, revealing a genetically perfected physique—muscular and powerful, yet aesthetically balanced.
[Ding! Fusion successful!]
Haruto felt his transformation from an ordinary person into a monster of infinite power.
"Finally, I have the strength to participate in the Holy Grail War."
His next step was to confirm the timeline. He was determined to save Irisviel and Illya from their fates as vessels for the Holy Grail. As for Emiya Kiritsugu... he could go play "fencing" with Kotomine Kirei.
