All the audience were still immersed in the battle between the top-tier Servants and the Alien God.
At this moment, unnoticed by anyone, the screen began to glow faintly. Line after line of eye-catching introductory text emerged one by one, like stars.
[Type-Moon Archive - Cosmic Level!]
[She is an existence beyond time and space, hailing from the distant and mysterious Servant Universe.]
[She is free and unrestrained, filled with boundless passion for life. She is the finest among Divine Servants—Cosmic Ishtar.]
[This goddess is not the Venus deity observed by Earthlings, but a goddess born from the ancient civilization of Venus, truly originating from that brilliant planet.]
[Cosmic Ishtar is the main body severed by the original goddess herself. Yearning to experience new things in the Blue Glittering Galaxy, she chooses to reincarnate as a Servant.]
[She is not only a new type of "actually existing goddess" but also a force that cannot be underestimated within the Servant Universe.]
[Her existence transcends humanity's understanding of gods; she is a true miracle of the universe.]
[The original universe is a world older than the Azure Glitter Galaxy, a universe where "humans exist in human form."]
[In that ancient era, mammals on Earth had not yet been born, while ancient civilizations in the universe already worshipped the goddess Astarte.]
[She is the predecessor of Ishtar in the universe, the most dazzling light in that ancient starry sky.]
[However, this goddess, who should have been beyond humanity's control and unable to become a Servant, descended upon Chaldea as a Servant in response to the call of a certain last Master of Humanity.]
[Her arrival not only brought unprecedented power to Chaldea but also became a legendary tale within the Type-Moon world.]
At this moment, the words on the screen shocked the entire Type-Moon world.
None of the audience could remain calm.
The last entry was about the Alien God, and this time it's the Cosmic Goddess.
In the Chaldea command room, the words on the screen struck everyone's hearts like thunder.
Especially Dr. Roman, whose face once again showed an expression of disbelief.
The power of the Alien God from the previous entry had already shocked him, but he never expected there existed a being even more powerful than her—Cosmic Ishtar!
And a new concept, the "Servant Universe," had appeared.
This term deeply concerned Dr. Roman.
"Although I don't know what the Servant Universe is..."
"But... the most, most powerful cosmic Heroic Spirit...?" Dr. Roman muttered to himself, his heart filled with shock.
Dr. Roman's expression grew complex, and he couldn't help but imagine that if Cosmic Ishtar was truly that powerful, wouldn't dealing with those singularities be easy? This level of power made the future [Beast] pale in comparison.
In the timeline of the Fourth Holy Grail War, within the underground magical workshop of the Tōsaka residence, Gilgamesh's expression grew increasingly grim.
He stared at the title on the screen, his heart brimming with complex emotions.
"Tsk! That annoying woman actually has so many forms?"
Gilgamesh gritted his teeth, his tone laced with clear displeasure. For him, the name "Ishtar" wasn't just a simple name; it carried too many unpleasant memories.
In the Age of Gods, part of Gilgamesh's tragedy originated from Ishtar.
Though he knew the Cosmic Ishtar appearing in the video might not be the Ishtar he knew, even so, the name still made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, at this moment, Gilgamesh didn't wish to dwell too much on past unpleasantness.
He took a deep breath, trying to refocus his attention on the screen.
As the title and introduction gradually faded, a new scene slowly unfolded. The story finally began at this moment.
Gilgamesh's eyes sharpened as he stared at the screen, anticipating the development of the story.
[The scene shifted to a vast universe.]
[Here, a ruined temple floated in solitude, like a forgotten relic. However, this tranquility was soon broken by a series of roars.]
["Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"]
[Countless missiles of astonishing destructive power exploded around the temple, each unleashing unimaginable energy.]
[These energies, or rather, magical power, seemed endless; each explosion brought shocking destructive force.]
[Their power could even rival, or even surpass, the true name release of an Anti-City Noble Phantasm.]
[Amidst such chaos and destruction, the Primordial Astarte appeared!]
[Her face bore a striking resemblance to Rin Tōsaka, yet her expression was as cold as ice.]
[Her pupils and hair color were both cosmic light blue, as if containing the profound starry sky.]
[She wore a gorgeous dress, similar to a "padded jacket" on Earth, but exuding an indescribable nobility and mystery.]
[The appearance of Primordial Astarte instantly made the entire universe seem to solidify.]
[The oppressive aura emanating from her made it almost impossible to breathe. Her magical power was even more vast and boundless, as if the entire universe was under her control.]
Among the many Heroic Spirits in the Type-Moon world, though there existed several beings with EX-rank magical energy, their power paled in comparison to Primordial Astarte—like fireflies competing with the bright moon.
Her magical power is truly cosmic, superior to all other Heroic Spirits.
At this moment, whether it was the people of Chaldea or Gilgamesh in the Fourth Holy Grail War timeline, both were astounded by the power of the Primordial Goddess.
In the timeline of the Fifth Holy Grail War, in Rin Tōsaka's room, she stared at the video on the screen, her expression gradually shifting from surprise to disbelief.
Upon seeing a woman in the video who bore an uncanny resemblance to herself, and learning this woman was also called the "Primordial Cosmic Goddess" Astarte, she couldn't help but hold her head and exclaim again.
"Ah!!!! What in the world is this now!? Why is there someone who looks exactly like me in the video! And... the Primordial Cosmic Goddess!? What on earth is this!? And her seemingly endless magical energy—what is that!?"
Rin Tōsaka's voice was full of shock and confusion.
She couldn't understand why there existed a person so similar to herself, and this person was the Primordial Cosmic Goddess, possessing magical energy she couldn't even fathom.
This magical energy seemed to be one with the universe itself, beyond her scope of understanding.
Simultaneously, Archer also noticed Astarte in the video. Placing his right hand on his chin, he frowned slightly, sinking into deep thought.
After a moment, he slowly said: "Interesting... I recall that the Ishtar from the previous entry also looked exactly like you. Though this isn't the Ishtar of Uruk, it should be considered an alternate, cosmic-level Ishtar, right?"
"In that case, it should be normal for her to resemble Ishtar and you, shouldn't it?"
Archer's words left Tōsaka Rin slightly stunned. She turned her head, looking at Archer with a puzzled gleam in her eyes.
She wanted to know what connection this goddess who resembled herself had with the Ishtar in the Throne of Heroes and why she possessed such astonishing magical energy.
Archer looked at Cosmic Ishtar in the video, a profound light in his eyes.
He knew that as a genuine deity, an existence like Astarte could not be summoned to their world.
Yet, the Cosmic Ishtar in the video was clearly connected to the Ishtar Heroic Spirit in their world.
"Her magical energy... is too immense."
Archer muttered to himself; the magical energy was so vast that even the Holy Grail paled in comparison.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, filled with anticipation for the video's development. "This video might be quite interesting..."
Meanwhile, at the Emiya residence, Emiya Shirō also saw Astarte in the video.
He was startled, involuntarily taking a few steps back on the tatami.
"Wow!!! That Heroic Spirit actually looks exactly like Tōsaka-san? But... her magical energy is so terrifying! It's as if she embodies a universe herself!" Though Emiya Shirō, as a magus, had relatively limited knowledge and experience, he could still feel the shocking power of Astarte's magical energy.
He stared wide-eyed at the screen, trying to find more information about this mysterious Heroic Spirit from the video.
Emiya Shirō was filled with doubt and curiosity. He wanted to know who this Heroic Spirit resembling Rin Tōsaka was and why she possessed such astonishing power.
At this moment, on the screen.
[Primordial Astarte's magical energy was overwhelming, a power clearly beyond the reach of humans or ordinary Heroic Spirits.]
[Her existence seemed to subvert the conventional rules of the "Servant Universe," making one marvel that any miracle could occur within this universe.]
[The roar of Primordial Astarte echoed through the cosmos: "Vanish, the new me, the dark me! Along with the ugly Azure Glitter Galaxy, everything—vanish!!!"]
[Her words revealed her disgust and destructive desire towards the Galaxy, which was terrifying. If she succeeded, the entire Galaxy would face catastrophe.]
[However, when Primordial Astarte displayed such extreme intentions, a force inevitably rose to stop her.]
[And what was shocking was that the force stopping her was actually one of her own clones.]
[The scene changed. Clones of Primordial Astarte appeared one after another. They either wielded magical weapons or cast spells, combating the destructive power of the original Astarte.]
[Though these clones weren't as powerful as the original, united they formed a force on par with Primordial Astarte.]
[A thrilling cosmic war commenced.]
[Primordial Astarte and her clones engaged in a fierce battle across the universe. Various powerful magical energies and skills intertwined, forming a series of brilliant lights.]
[The bombardment of magical energy continued ceaselessly in the cosmos. Standing atop the ruined palace, Fujimaru Ritsuka, facing the nearly irresistible power of Primordial Astarte, could only helplessly complain: "This is too unreasonable...!"]
[Indeed, both Primordial Astarte herself and the power she displayed were beyond common sense.]
[Her existence was like an incomprehensible anomaly, making people feel deeply powerless.]
[Just then, a voice echoed beside Fujimaru Ritsuka.]
[It was Space Ishtar (S Ishtar), a space bounty hunter dressed in a western-style outfit. She too was one of the avatars of Primordial Astarte, but at this moment, she stood on Fujimaru Ritsuka's side.]
["You're right, I agree." S Ishtar said, "Besides, did our attacks actually hit her?"]
[Listening to S Ishtar's words, the Heroic Spirit, Calamity Jane, who was also from the "Servant Universe," responded calmly.]
["Yeah, they hit."]
[Hearing the somewhat placid response from Calamity Jane, the doubts in S Ishtar's heart grew.]
[Their attacks had indeed struck Primordial Astarte, but it felt like slashing at air, with no substantial feedback.]
["How could this be...?" S Ishtar muttered to herself, an incredulous light in her eyes.]
[She recalled the moment those attacks landed on Primordial Astarte—as if swallowed by an endless void, not even triggering the most basic hit detection.]
[Calamity Jane also sensed this abnormality. Her brows furrowed, her eyes revealing a trace of worry.]
["For a goddess like the Primordial Cosmic Goddess, attacks of this level might be insignificant to her."]
[Her words carried a hint of helplessness and emotion.]
[Standing aside, Fujimaru Ritsuka also felt the difficulty of this battle.]
[He knew that facing Primordial Astarte, they might be confronting an unprecedented challenge.]
"This truly is a real goddess," Merlin said within the tower at the end of the inner sea of stars, chin in hand, staring at Primordial Astarte in the video, his heart filled with shock. "Indescribable magical energy, as if she is the universe itself."
He knew this goddess's magical energy was so immense that even he was taken aback.
And her special nature made Merlin realize that in that "Servant Universe," perhaps no Servant could defeat Primordial Astarte head-on.
Yet, it was this unknown and challenge that made Merlin full of anticipation for the video's continuation.
