At this very moment, Heroic Spirits and Mages across all worlds were left utterly stunned by the scene before them.
What on earth was this?
.....
〜In the Worldline of Fifth Holy Grail War〜
Rin Tohsaka stared at the screen, her mouth agape.
"This is a Lostbelt… the technology of the Great Qin is truly terrifying!"
Rin exclaimed in disbelief.
Although she had already learned from the screen's introduction that this First Emperor was extraordinary, seeing such a Noble Phantasm made it impossible for her to suppress the turmoil within her heart.
The Great Wall of the Universe… the massive aerial fortress of Epang Palace… the Xianyang City, brimming with such sophisticated, futuristic technology…
Selecting any one of these would be enough to leave anyone utterly astonished.
Archer was similarly silent.
"You call this the Great Qin? This technology is far superior to our current civilization!"
Even modern mages and technological development could hardly reach such heights.
How on earth did that First Emperor achieve this?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes on this screen, if someone had told him that the Great Qin possessed a Great Wall of the Universe and a Xianyang City filled with futuristic technology, he certainly would not have believed it.

On the other side, Jing Ke watched everything on the screen.
A question mark couldn't help but surface over her head.
"Huh!?"
Seeing such technology on the screen, she began to doubt how her past self had even dared to attempt an assassination of this Emperor.
Assassinating the First Emperor during her lifetime had already been incredibly difficult.
In that world, it would surely have been even harder…

At this moment, in the group chat, all the spectators couldn't help but voice their astonishment.
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Charlemagne (Saber): Ohhh—I never expected the Emperor's Noble Phantasm to be this cool! Should I say, as expected of the Emperor through the ages? ]
[ Da Vinci (Caster): Hmm, no matter how many times I watch it, it feels so cool. This is the First Emperor's Noble Phantasm. I really want to ask how he researched all these things? ]
[ Emiya Shirou: This is the technology of the Great Qin… ]
[ Chaotic Evil Gudako: Forget that, I'm more curious about how Jing Ke dared to say she'd take me to assassinate this Emperor. Isn't that just a suicide mission? ]

Gudako couldn't hold back anymore.
She suddenly recalled what Jing Ke had said when she fed her food earlier.
"It's perfect, this will surely defeat that Emperor. Right, let's go!"
She hadn't thought much of it before, but seeing this scene now, she found it hard to accept.
How on earth did you dare.jpg?

[ Qin Shi Huang (Ruler): Hmph! Making such a fuss, this is merely the tip of the iceberg of what my Great Qin has displayed. My world is far superior to your so-called Proper Human History. ]
[ .....]
At this moment, the content on the screen continued to play.
『 The sheer scale of such a Noble Phantasm left a serious expression on the faces of all the Heroic Spirits present.
Chen Gong said with utmost seriousness.
"It seems I can no longer slack off. Everyone, attack together!"
As these words fell, a crimson magical energy surged from his body.
Simultaneously, this energy condensed upon the other Heroic Spirits.
"This is…"
"Merely a small skill of mine. While it may not have much effect, it is better than nothing."
Feeling the strategist's counsel, joy appeared on everyone's faces.
"Then, let's all go together."
Mash, shield in hand, charged immediately toward the First Emperor.
"Understood. Since the opponent is that renowned Emperor, I shall not be careless!"
The magic sword in Mordred's hand emitted a crimson radiance.
"Lu Bu, reporting for duty!"
A giant bow appeared in Red Hare's hand out of nowhere.
Nezha did not speak much, merely brandishing the Fire-tipped Spear to continue the assault.
However, facing the siege of these four Heroic Spirits, the First Emperor still appeared at ease.
The attacks of these four seemed to cause not a single ripple upon him…
Seeing this, expressions of surprise appeared on everyone's faces.
"Hmph, my Noble Phantasm is not merely a manifestation of my own attacks, but possesses extremely potent buffing effects."
As these words fell, the First Emperor struck out with successive, thick sword beams that shimmered like quicksilver.
Each arc, like a crescent moon, moved through the battlefield like a soaring dragon.
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
Terrifying power roared across the field, and countless horrific sword marks appeared on the ground.
Facing such an onslaught, Mash could only deploy her shield to defend.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look surprised.
They hadn't expected the Emperor's strength to be this formidable…
His magical energy seemed infinite, and every strike dealt explosive, blazing damage…
Watching the intense scene on the screen, the spectators couldn't help but feel anxious.
Observing the fierce battle, Ritsuka Fujimaru furrowed his brows and displayed the Command Spells on his hand.
"Command Spell, bring us victory! Red Hare! Mordred, Nezha! Activate Noble Phantasms!"
Ritsuka Fujimaru used the three Command Spells on his hand without hesitation to boost the three Heroic Spirits on the field.
With the infusion of this magical energy, the Servants exchanged a glance, their faces showing determination.
All the Servants felt a gentle stream of magical energy pouring into their bodies.
Then, a terrifying surge of power erupted from the three of them.
"Unsealing Noble Phantasm. The Taoist sage technique..."
Following Nezha's voice, phantoms of peach blossoms appeared in the surroundings, each beautiful flower slowly blooming.
At the same time, everyone noticed three faint, sacred-looking petals appearing on Nezha's forehead.
Under the blessing of this power, the magical energy on Nezha grew even stronger.
He rushed immediately toward the First Emperor's position.
"Jumping three souls and dispersing seven spirits! This is...the Fire-Tipped Spear!
Burn—!"
On the other side, Mordred gripped her magical energy.
Crimson energy poured out incessantly, resembling a pillar of red light.
"This is the evil sword that destroyed my father..."
"CLARENT BLOOD ARTHUR—!"
⦍Rebellion Against My Beautiful Father⦎
"Noble Phantasm release! Among men, Lu Bu! Among horses, Red Hare! And now we are one!"
"IMITATION GOD FORCE—!"
⦍Five Soldiers of the War God, Fake⦎
As the three unleashed their full firepower!
Three terrifying auras rushed toward the First Emperor at lightning speed.
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
In the stunned gaze of all the viewers, the three Noble Phantasms undoubtedly struck the Emperor!
The next second, a terrifying explosion echoed instantly.
BOOM—!
A roar akin to a nuclear detonation reverberated.
Amidst the terrifying explosion, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
Under such a horrific attack, no one believed that the Emperor could survive…
However, after the smoke gradually cleared, everyone looking at the screen fell into silence.
Because the Emperor, after receiving such a terrifying Noble Phantasm, was completely unscathed…
Seeing this, expressions of despair appeared on everyone's faces.
How is this possible? Even with these three Command Spells used together, could they not defeat the Emperor?
At this moment, a sense of despair surged in everyone's hearts. 』
『 .....』
〜In the Worldline of Fifth Holy Grail War〜
On the other side, Gilgamesh, watching the scene, shook his head instead.
"No, it seems things can end now…"
No, perhaps others didn't notice, but he had.
Although the Emperor had indeed received such a Noble Phantasm, his knees were covered in dust at some point.
"The outcome is decided. With that Emperor's pride, this level is sufficient, and he has indeed seen the value of human history."
As if to verify Gilgamesh's words, the First Emperor on the screen noticed the dust on his knees, and a complex expression appeared on his face.

『 At this moment, Sherlock Holmes's voice, filled with immense respect, echoed.
"If you had continued to maintain your Divine Body, we would not even have been able to fight you."
"I am deeply moved by the responsibility you shoulder, yet the result is clear. You have become a True Human, and your essence is also to protect humanity."
At this moment, even as opponents, the group from Chaldea was filled with admiration for the Emperor before them.
"Ah—I am speechless with shock. Ritsuka… are the people in your world… no, the citizens, the people in your world, all this strong?"
"I don't know. But… even if I weren't here, if someone else stood here, the Heroic Spirits present would certainly choose to help that person."
Hearing this response, the First Emperor nodded thoughtfully.
"…I see. You firmly believe that even if you fall, another 'you' will appear, correct?"
"If such fortitude, such a will to survive, is possessed by everyone, then as a collective, Humanity, the people might truly be able to overcome all obstacles and reach an infinite future…"
At this moment, he completely understood the strength of human history.
If it were such a world, then it was indeed more worthy of survival than his own.
"Yes, we believe this firmly… and we also have people willing to believe in us."
Looking at the two people before him, faces filled with smiles, the First Emperor understood.
"Very well, then I shall accompany you in this gamble. I entrust the future of the compiled history to Proper Human History. You must ensure it prospers."
With these words, the entire video gradually dimmed, signaling its end. 』
『 .....』
Yet, at this moment, Heroic Spirits, Magus, and Magicians in all the worldlines watching the screen remained unable to calm down for a long time.
They never imagined that the Emperor would ultimately choose Chaldea.
.....
〜In the Worldline of Fourth Holy Grail War〜
Artoria looked at the darkened screen, an expression of disbelief on her face.
"That Emperor was truly capable of making such a choice… even for a country he had ruled for over two thousand years, upon realizing this, he could choose to stand on the side of human history?"
Even she could not help but feel moved by the magnanimity of that King.
Should one say, as expected of the Emperor through the ages… to possess such boldness.

[ Kirschtaria Wodime: Worthy of being a Master chosen by the Doctor, to have actually become the Second Emperor of Qin… ]
[ Olga Marie Animusphere: Inheriting that Emperor's empire, that is indeed the Second Emperor of Qin without a doubt. ]
[ Ritsuka Fujimaru: The Second Emperor of Qin is actually me!? ]
[ Waver Velvet: But it really is incredible, the content displayed on this screen, the strange technology of that country, and the mettle of that Emperor…! ]
[ Shiki Ryougi: It seems there should be no problems with this Great Qin Lostbelt, but I am looking forward to the next video even more. ]

〜In the Worldline of ██████ Chaldea〜
And at this moment, Romani looked at the screen and let out a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect the final result of this video to be like this."
It must be said that this video had indeed brought him a great deal of shock.
The Emperor's Noble Phantasm, the Great Wall of the Universe, and the Emperor's final choice…
"One can only say, as expected of the first being to become an Emperor, this kind of spirit is simply incomparable to ordinary people."
"I have to agree, indeed. But at the same time, I am also a bit curious, what kind of video will the next one be?"
Just as Da Vinci and Romani were discussing, a new activity appeared on the giant screen in the sky!
Seeing this, everyone reacted immediately.
This was the sign that the next video was about to play!
Thinking of this, a sense of excitement surged in everyone's hearts.
"I wonder what kind of video will play next, it's truly something to look forward to!"
And this was also a matter of curiosity for the other Heroic Spirits and Mages.

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Mordred (Saber): I didn't expect the last video to have my highlight, but I'm a bit curious if I'll be in the next one? ]
[ Emiya Kiritsugu: Compared to these videos, I'd rather see information about the Alien God on this screen! ]
[ Cu Chulainn (Lancer): Indeed, I am also curious. As the mastermind behind the freezing of human history, I am very curious why he would do such a thing. I hope to see more information about the Alien God on this screen. ]
[ .....]
Just as all the spectators were discussing, a brand new title appeared on the screen.
[ CELEBRATE! THE FINAL BEAST! EARTH'S HEAD OF STATE U-OLGA MARIE! THE ALIEN GOD DESCENDS HERE! ]
