(A/N: Before we begin, sorry for the delay in the chapter. Although I released 3 drafts on Patreon, it was difficult to find time to write between work, graduate studies, and birthday parties. On Monday, I return to the countryside and will only spend 4 days in my city, so I really didn't have time. There, we'll be staying in accommodations for construction work, so I probably won't have space or time to write. I believe I'll be back by 06/05.)

(Pov of Riser Phenex)

I could feel the power flowing through me as I prepared for the final attack. With the Rings of Solomon amplifying my magical abilities, Unlimited Blade Works under my control, and my Mystic Eyes of Death activated, I knew it was time to end this battle.

[Boost!]

Karna and Gilgamesh were still standing in front of me, both in combat stance. Their half-closed eyes analyzed every one of my movements, looking for a breach in my defense. I could almost hear their thoughts, calculating what the next strike would be.

"It's over, you fools," I said, my voice echoing through the dimension of UBW. "You fought bravely, but it's time to accept defeat."

Gilgamesh let out a scornful laugh. "Defeat? You think you can beat the King of Heroes with cheap tricks?" His tone was one of complete disdain.

[Boost!]

Karna remained silent, but his gaze said it all. He didn't believe I could beat them, despite all my power.

"Yes, your time has come," I calmly replied. Deep down, I knew they were underestimating what I was capable of. My eyes shone with an unnatural blue light as I activated my Mystic Eyes of Death.

FWOOSH!

In the blink of an eye, I shot towards Gilgamesh at hypersonic speed. He barely had time to react before my fist, wrapped in blue flames, collided with his face.

WHAM!

[Boost!]

The impact was so powerful that it created a visible shockwave, sending the King of Heroes flying back like a rag doll. His golden body bounced off the arid ground two, three times before finally stopping a hundred meters away, covered in dust.

"Argh... damn it," he grumbled, clearly dazed. But I didn't give him time to recover. In an instant, I was by his side, my fist in flames ready for the final blow.

Karna tried to intervene, flying towards us with his lance in hand, but I had already anticipated his move. A barrier of red flower petals materialized in front of us, blocking his path.

CLANG!

Karna's lance bounced off the barrier with a burst of sparks. Rho Aias, the Petal Shield, now also under my control. Karna looked genuinely surprised.

"No!" Gilgamesh screamed as my flaming fist descended, aiming for his face.

BOOOOM!

The explosion was deafening, a column of fire rising to the skies. When the smoke cleared, I saw Gilgamesh's motionless body lying at my feet, his golden armor cracked and blackened. The King of Heroes had finally fallen.

I turned to face Karna, who looked at me with a mix of respect and apprehension. "Your turn," I simply said.

[Boost!]

Karna wielded his lance and took a combat stance, his flaming cloak dramatically fluttering behind him. His golden eyes coldly analyzed me.

I knew he wouldn't make it easy. Even internally wounded after our first confrontation, Karna was not the type to give up. I would have to use all my strength against this opponent.

With a war cry, I advanced on him at maximum speed, my vision tinged with supernatural blue. Karna met me, his lance spinning frantically.

It was as if two stars collided.

BOOOM!

[Boost!]

The shockwave knocked down the swords embedded in the ground around us and created a crater under our feet. Our blows met repeatedly, so fast it was impossible to follow with the eyes.

PAF! BAM! ZWISH!

[Boost!]

Sparks and fragments of armor flew in all directions. Neither of us gave an inch, our wills equally determined to emerge victorious from this duel.

Suddenly, I saw a gap in Karna's defense. It was all I needed. Gathering all my strength, I delivered a vertical punch from below, aiming for his unprotected chin.

POWW!

[Boost!]

My blow launched him into the air like a golden cannonball. At the height of his ascent, I was already there, waiting for him. My spinning kick hit him in the back like a meteor, projecting him back to the ground with extreme violence.

BOOOOOM!

[Boost!]

The impact of Karna opening a crater in the ground was deafening. I slowly descended, landing at the edge of the crater to check his condition. To my surprise, the warrior was still moving weakly and painfully, although his forces were visibly depleted.

"You fought well, Karna," I said, genuinely impressed by his superhuman resilience. "But it's time to end this."

Raising my arms, I summoned Gae Bolg from my UBW. Using all my power gathered in my essence, I aimed Gae Bolg at the bottom of the crater where Karna lay defeated. I aimed to cut his line of death, along with his heroic spirit core, I would end it with a single attack.

With a gesture, I released the final attack.

[Transfer!]

"Gae Bolg!" [Penetrate!]

A storm of red death headed towards the warrior like a lethal rain. Not even he could survive that.

When the dust settled, I looked at the crater again. Down there, Karna lay motionless, his body pierced by a blood-red lance, its glow still strong. His cloak, once flaming, was now dull.

I had won.

Releasing control over UBW, I let the marble reality dissipate. The night sky of Fuyuki covered us again. I saw his body slowly dissipate into golden particles of light.

"You were a formidable opponent. May you find the peace you sought," I said solemnly.

Rising, I cast one last glance at the other defeated warrior. This epic battle would be remembered for ages, I knew that. But it was only seen by Alaya, Gaia, and a crafty Vampire. But now other challenges awaited me.

Extending my flaming wings, I took flight over the sleeping city. Where the future would take me, I wasn't sure. But one thing was certain: the world would soon know the power of Riser Phenex.

In the distance, I observe a Loli crying over the body of a giant.

(Pov Clone 1 - Riser Phenex. Minutes before the fight of Riser vs. Karna.)

I was moving towards Marisbury Animusphere, although I'm sure I could defeat all the participants. But the main reason I'm here is to negotiate with him.

Well, he won't have a choice. I could simply block any and all chances of summoning his servant, even block any Magicraft he could cast. Yes, it was clearly an injustice for a guy who is practically a Beast of Type-moon, to fight against a human.

So, the negotiation would practically be putting him against the wall and then making him accept anyway. Now, why am I doing this? Well, I want to see Chaldea complete. And by killing Karna and Gilgamesh, I'm more than sure it will complete the entire Grail. Hell, just Karna would be enough. Anyway, that's what negotiating with a devil is like. The outcome is guaranteed even before making the deal.

Soon, I arrived at the mansion that this noble rented to stay. Quickly I create a Bonded Field, to seal the world's view. I move to where I can feel life coming from the house.

Entering the room after having destroyed the house's Bonded Field. "Marisbury Animusphere, you know who I am and what I can do," I began, my voice firm and without any trace of doubt. "And you also know that there's no way to stop me."

The man in front of me, a renowned mage and founder of the future Chaldea, looked at me with a mix of respect and caution. He was smart enough to know he was at a disadvantage.

"What do you want, phantom specimen?" he asked, trying to maintain composure. After all, he's trying to summon his servant, but was not able to invoke it.

"I want to ensure that Chaldea is created. And for that, I'll need you to make some concessions," I explained, crossing my arms. "In return, I guarantee that the Great Grail will be filled enough to fulfill the wish you have in mind."

Marisbury pondered for a moment, clearly evaluating his options. He knew he didn't have much choice.

"Alright," he finally said. "I accept your conditions. But what exactly do you want from me?"

"Well, I'm sure you'll ask for money, to be able to complete Chaldea. then you'll ask for both of us. And then we'll be partners. And then I'll work as a civilian doctor, in Chaldea. The idea is that I enter there and remain "hidden" as a sleeper agent, when necessary obviously I'll move. Yes, it will be as if I had just learned about the supernatural world. You can rest easy," I detailed my demands.

Marisbury nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "And what will you do in return?"

"I'll ensure that the Great Grail is filled. Moreover, I'll ensure that no other mage or entity can interfere with Chaldea's plans. You'll have a clear path to carry out your project," I promised, knowing I had total control over the situation.

"Alright. We have a deal," Marisbury extended his hand, sealing our pact. As soon as he spoke, a contract materialized sealing the pact between us two.

With that, I knew I had secured the future of Chaldea and, by extension, the "fate of humanity". But there was more at stake than just that. I was playing a long game, one that would go beyond the comprehension of any human or heroic spirit.

Leaving Marisbury's presence, I felt a sense of satisfaction. Not just for having secured the success of Chaldea, but for knowing I was one step ahead of all the other players in this great game that is the fate of humanity.

The future was in motion, and I, Riser Phenex, was at the center of it all.

(A/N: I didn't explain why Riser did this, well. He wanted to follow the Fate/Grand Order route. Simply out of desire. Yes, the desire to accomplish something. He wants other servants so in order to get them, he did this. Even knowing that it could potentially "destroy the world." It's not like he would actually let it be destroyed, but he's willing to risk that. Yes, it's extremely selfish, evil, in the fact that he doesn't prevent for example the death of Marisbury Animusphere. As many don't know the MC's main flaw besides Greed itself. is Pride. He's not so greedy for money or prideful about that. But, for his family in general. Now, when we see the MC having to protect his family, things will get serious.)
