  1. Predicting what would happen next, Enkidu explosively unleashed the magical energy they brought with them from Earth’s surface and prepared to intercept the attack.
  2. The next instant... In an attempt to activate his magecraft before Enkidu had the time to deploy their Noble Phantasm, Thia yelled powerful words.
  3. Hollowed Hearsay/Oblivion turns to festivity
  4. “A Clockwork Abbadon!”
  5. Numerous “moons” with masses ranging from 500 kilos to dozens of tons rained on Enkidu and Earth much beyond the speed of sound.
  6. Due to a spell to ignore air resistance, the projectiles he continuously fired with the high speed of a railgun shot would never burn or slow down. It was clear that if they reached the surface, they would cause major harm to the land and all the life on it.
  7. At that moment, the energy levels in Enkidu’s body skyrocketed. Thia couldn’t tell where all this power was coming from but all of the Heroic Spirit’s parameters got a temporary boost.
  8. People, let us bind the gods
  9. “Enuma Elish!”
  10. Enkidu unleashed their Noble Phantasm without a moment’s delay.
  11. The power to turn their Saint Graph into one all-piercing lynchpin weapon by borrowing power from the planet and Human Order.
  12. Enkidu charged with the golden chains deploying around them, forming a spiral in attempt to crush all the numerous approaching malignant stars.
  13. They collided.
  14. And then there was a flood of light.
  15. An enormous flower of magical energy bloomed in the upper limits of the stratosphere, with each of its petals holding the shattered asteroids.
  16. The impact’s rebound reached the Kármán line, which represents the border between the planet and the universe, where it became a pseudo-aurora gaudily decorating the space above Snowfield.
  17. Thia’s greater magecraft was possibly perceived as a threat to the planet or Human Order.
  18. Through the power of the Counter Force poured into their Noble Phantasm, Enkidu managed to block the massive attack on Snowfield.
  19. Which doesn’t mean they perfectly neutralized the whole attack, however.
  20. Its shockwaves were tremendous.
  21. Quite a few star pieces slipped through the magical petals and landed on Earth, although scattering during their fall.
  22. The smallest fragment slipped east, in Washington D.C’s direction, falling where the Anacostia River meets the Potomac River.
  23. The impact of the fragment falling in the center of a 1 km wide river instantly sent its water flying and was felt in the White House as an earthquake accompanied by heavy rain.
  24. Another fragment pierced the ground of Yellowstone National Park, almost giving some geologists a heart attack by temporarily exciting the dormant magma.
  25. Another fragment flew far west, crossing the Pacific Ocean and falling on Japanese maritime territory. The fragment’s uncontrollable magical energy generated heat, instantly evaporating a large volume of water on the oceanic surface. The kilometers-tall splash and evaporation pillar was witnessed from the nearby coast and ships, generating online speculation about an underwater volcanic eruption, a long-ranged missile landing, or an alien invasion.
  26. Another fragment fell on Russian land, raising an alert for an attack from another nation, which left the whole world in a tense state.
  27. But it was the second large fragment that caused the biggest worldwide impact. The fragment flew north preserving all of its tremendous magical energy, making the impact of its fall to physically obliterate its surroundings. It didn’t cause visible geographical changes, but its mental shock on humanity was large. As the observation satellites suddenly showed that 12% of the Arctic ice caps vanished from one footage clip to the next. Had this happened to Antarctica’s ice, it would have had a tangible effect on Earth’s oceanic levels. Eventually, it was discovered that the fallen fragments were pieces of space debris, artificial satellite parts, leading to rumors that a space station fell off or that something caused all satellites around Earth to drop, but that was only many hours after the fact.
  28. From a mage’s point of view, the most significant fragment was the largest one. It was less of a fragment and more of an asteroid still in its original form. Thia used all other asteroids as decoys as he sent this one in a different trajectory with concealment magecraft hiding it from sight and magical energy detection. It was set to fall on Snowfield.
  29. Did he do it for the sole purpose of eliminating the girl Ayaka Sajou?
  30. Or maybe he was planning to take down Enkidu indirectly, by destroying either their Master or the land the Holy Grail was rooted on?
  31. The answer was yes for both, but while they were correct answers, they weren’t THE correct answer.
  32. Don’t try to fool yourself. I hate the Holy Grail War. I hate this ritual and the guys who killed Flat for it. Humans... Human cities... Honestly, I quite liked London... But I don’t care about this city. ... Flat, there’s one thing I never told you about. The reason why you summoned that serial killer. That Heroic Spirit... couldn’t possibly be brought out by a toy knife. It was because of me. Because I have the potential to be a serial killer for humanity... and I’m not anyone yet.
  33. This inner monologue was just a fraction of a second in the real flow of time, done amidst the fluid movement of dropping this asteroid on Earth.
  34. But it didn’t escape Enkidu’s Presence Detection.
  35. The tactic of perfectly concealing its magical energy backfired. In this space Thia and Enkidu made so turbulent with magical energy, one neutral spot becomes too conspicuous to go unnoticed.
  36. Enkidu stretched their chains in an attempt to apprehend the egg-like asteroid of magical energy but Thia followed up his magecraft to prevent that.
  37. This resulted in the magical asteroid flying toward Earth almost intact, although Enkidu managed to shift its trajectory.
  38.
