At the same time, in the Chaldea command room, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Dr. Roman, Da Vinci, and Mash were also watching.
Their faces were also filled with astonishment and amazement.
Dr. Roman, the former "Grand Caster," was deeply shocked by the magical energy displayed by Primordial Astarte in the video.
He clearly realized that Primordial Astarte far surpassed him in terms of total magical energy and destructive power.
As a Heroic Spirit from Earth, he knew his own strength. But facing this goddess who represented an entire universe, he still felt unprecedented pressure.
"What an awe-inspiring Heroic Spirit," Dr. Roman said with a wry smile, scratching his head.
"I never thought there would be an existence capable of surpassing the Alien God."
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the video with a troubled expression, his heart filled with worry about the powerful enemy.
"How can we possibly defeat an enemy of that level?"
He muttered to himself, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes, "However, I'm a bit surprised that there are three protagonists in this video [Cosmic Ishtar]. It seems this video will be even more exciting than we imagined!"
Amidst the anticipation of countless viewers across the Type-Moon worlds, the story within the screen continued to unfold.
[As soon as Space Ishtar (S Ishtar) finished speaking, another Astarte (Ishtar) wearing a black and red combat suit said:]
["Of course! Because this is attacking the [universe] itself!"]
[Her words revealed an indescribable majesty and profundity.]
[Indeed, as she said, Primordial Astarte is, in essence, equivalent to the [universe] itself.]
[Directly attacking her is like throwing a stone into the endless cosmos—it will only sink into the sea, failing to stir even a ripple.]
[Though the attacks from S Ishtar and Calamity Jane struck Primordial Astarte, it was like punching the void, with no substantial effect.]
[Such a battle seemed doomed to fail from the start.]
["Ah!? What did you say!? What does this mean!?"]
[S Ishtar's mouth fell open slightly, a puzzled light flashing in her eyes.]
[Seeing S Ishtar's confused look, Astarte sighed helplessly, a trace of exasperation flashing in her eyes.]
[She rolled her eyes at S Ishtar before beginning her explanation:]
["Seems like you haven't even read the elementary-level [Goddess Classics]."]
["Saying the Primordial Goddess is a goddess with galactic-level magical energy isn't quite accurate. To be precise, she is a life form called 'Galaxy' in the form of a goddess."]
["Even if her appearance resembles a human, it's merely an appearance. Didn't I say it before? This Primordial Universe is the remains of the goddess, meaning... the entire universe is part of her!"]
Through Astarte's explanation, the audience finally understood Primordial Astarte's true identity.
She is not merely the Primordial Goddess but also "Galaxy" in the form of a goddess. Even the entire universe is a part of her!
Such a setting undoubtedly makes Primordial Astarte the most powerful and formidable Heroic Spirit to have appeared so far!
In the timeline of the Fifth Holy Grail War, Rin Tōsaka sat in her room, eyes fixed on the screen before her.
The three "goddesses" in the video and their conversation kept Rin Tōsaka in a state of overflowing surprise; her expression never calmed down from start to finish.
"Ah!!!! What in the world is going on!? 'Galaxy' in the form of a goddess?... Doesn't that mean she is the consciousness of the Galaxy itself!? Too terrifying! Does such an existence really exist?"
Rin Tōsaka muttered to herself, an incredulous light in her eyes.
She knew Primordial Astarte represented the Galaxy itself. Such an existence was almost impossible to defeat.
Attacking her was like attacking the entire universe—meaningless.
Thus, Rin Tōsaka couldn't help but feel a hint of despair. She believed that S Ishtar and Astarte in the video lacked the means to defeat Primordial Astarte.
"No..." Rin Tōsaka shook her head, trying to calm herself. "To be more precise... these two characters in the video right now, they shouldn't be able to defeat such a formidable enemy!?"
In the timeline of the Fourth Holy Grail War, within the underground magical workshop of the Tōsaka residence, Tōsaka Tokiomi was intently watching the video before him.
Unlike usual, this time he wasn't overly shocked by the powerful existence of Primordial Astarte in the video. Instead, he was deeply troubled by another question.
"Why does the Primordial Goddess of the Galaxy in the video look so similar to my daughter?"
Tōsaka Tokiomi was filled with doubt. As a father, he naturally paid special attention to everything about his daughter, Rin.
At this moment, he couldn't ignore the striking similarities between the three female characters in the video and Rin, even though Rin was still a young child.
He frowned, trying to find the reason.
These goddesses came from another universe—the "Servant Universe"—and should have no connection to Rin.
Yet, the similar appearance made him wonder if there was some special link between them.
Standing beside Tōsaka Tokiomi, Gilgamesh's expression remained grave and pessimistic.
He stared sharply at Primordial Astarte in the video, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, yet carrying a hint of disdain and disgust.
"Tsk! Detestable woman, three of them appeared at once."
Gilgamesh cursed under his breath, clearly harboring intense hostility toward Primordial Astarte in the video.
This hostility wasn't unfounded, for Primordial Astarte's appearance was nearly identical to Ishtar's, undoubtedly touching upon the deep-seated hatred and resentment within his heart.
However, despite his disgust, Gilgamesh had to admit that this goddess representing the [Galaxy] was indeed incredibly powerful.
He knew that even he, hailed as the "King of Heroes" and possessing countless powerful Noble Phantasms, would find it difficult to contend with such a multi-layered Heroic Spirit.
"Even Ea might not be able to defeat her..." Gilgamesh muttered to himself, a hint of helplessness and reluctance in his tone.
He knew that although the Noble Phantasms he held were powerful, they were ultimately creations at the limit of human capability.
Compared to the boundless [universe], the power of these treasures was still too insignificant.
Gilgamesh's eyes grew profound as he began to ponder how to deal with this formidable enemy.
At this moment, in Chaldea.
"In the future, Chaldea will have countless powerful Heroic Spirits. I think, if we want to save those endangered singularities, perhaps it won't be an insurmountable obstacle for us?"
After witnessing the true nature of Primordial Astarte in the video, a glint of excitement flashed in Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes, his voice tinged with uncontrollable excitement.
He stared at the screen, the shock in his heart beyond words.
Primordial Astarte in the video was undoubtedly the most powerful Heroic Spirit he had ever seen! No, even in his imagination, he couldn't conceive of any Heroic Spirit who could surpass Primordial Astarte's glory!
Because she herself represented a vast universe.
"Indeed, I agree with Master's opinion," Mash's voice chimed in appropriately. She wasn't simply agreeing but expressing her sincere viewpoint.
In her view, Primordial Astarte in the video was also the most powerful existence she could imagine.
Once they possessed her power, those so-called "singularities" would become fragile, as if they would collapse at the slightest touch.
No, it could even be said that even the "Incinerated Human Order," which sent shivers down one's spine, would be a problem she could solve with minimal effort.
At this moment, on the screen.
[After Astarte thoroughly analyzed her "origin"—Primordial Astarte—S Ishtar exclaimed in surprise, her tone full of disbelief.]
["How is that possible! In that case, we can't compete with her at all! Fujimaru Ritsuka, don't you think so?"]
[As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Fujimaru Ritsuka, seeking agreement.]
[Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded heavily, the expression on his face revealing deep helplessness.]
[Though they all longed to defeat the Primordial Astarte hovering high above the universe, reality was extremely cruel.]
[Because of Primordial Astarte's nature—almost like the universe itself—any attack against her was like a gentle breeze, unable to cause any harm.]
[Even more terrifying, the magical energy she commanded was at a galactic scale. The endless destructive energy assaulted them like a storm.]
[Faced with such a desperate situation, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others seemed extremely small and powerless.]
[They appeared shrouded in an inescapable darkness, unable to find any way out.]
[S Ishtar's exclamation still echoed in their ears, while Astarte remained calm, not denying S Ishtar's statement: "It appears the nebulae are gathered, but in reality, they aren't truly gathered... at least not at this stage."]
[Astarte's analysis made everyone fall into contemplation.]
[At this point, Calamity Jane beside them also nodded in agreement. "Yes, if all the stars in the nebula gathered together, they would form a super-massive black hole with unimaginable power."]
[Her words shocked everyone once more. They never imagined the heroes of the "Servant Universe" fought at such a breathtaking intensity.]
[After Calamity Jane's words, Astarte continued her in-depth analysis: "Therefore, the entity we're facing now is larger than what the naked eye can see and filled with many gaps. To defeat her, we need a 'bullet' capable of reaching and striking her, and the scale of this bullet must at least reach planetary, even galactic, levels!"]
[After thorough analysis and discussion, everyone finally found a method to defeat Primordial Astarte—using a "bullet" of galactic scale.]
[But was this method truly feasible? Did a "bullet" of that level really exist in their world?]
[Or could a "Noble Phantasm" with such power really be found in this world? These questions were like a series of difficult puzzles placed before everyone.]
[Following Astarte and Calamity Jane's in-depth analysis, S Ishtar merely offered an awkward smile, admitting frankly: "Oh, I didn't understand any of that!" Her words carried a hint of helplessness and self-mockery.]
[Fujimaru Ritsuka stood beside her, nodding in agreement, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.]
["Right," he echoed softly, "I truly know very little about these profound matters in the Servant Universe. A galactic-scale Noble Phantasm... For me, that's simply unheard of."]
[During his time in Chaldea, he had seen many powerful Noble Phantasms. Yet even the Noble Phantasms of [Beasts] and [Grand Servants] were limited to the blue planet Earth.]
[And the scale of a galaxy... that was beyond his comprehension, seeming so distant.]
["So, our attacks are completely ineffective against her."]
[S Ishtar frowned, a hint of unwillingness in her tone. "But she can attack us at will. This is too unfair! Fortunately, her attack methods are relatively crude, otherwise we would have lost our footing long ago."]
[In S Ishtar's eyes, Primordial Astarte seemed an invincible existence. Not only was she immune to all damage, but she also had an endless supply of magical energy, allowing her to launch destructive attacks continuously.]
[Such an opponent made one see no hope of victory.]
[Listening to S Ishtar's somewhat despairing words, Astarte didn't deny them. Instead, she calmly stated a harsh truth: "Indeed, it's only a matter of time. Once this altar collapses, we'll have nowhere to escape."]
["You can see Palma Anna—that is the proof of the true goddess. And we... No, as the Goddess of Evil, I've never had any value from the very beginning. From the moment of birth, I was destined to disappear here. Neither humans nor the goddess herself need me... so..."]
[As she spoke, Astarte suddenly erupted with powerful magical energy. The crimson light, as hot as flames, tightly enveloped her body.]
[She was preparing for the final battle against Primordial Astarte, determined to stake her life to halt that invincible power.]
["So, I will hold her back here!" Astarte's voice was firm and resolute.]
["I am a life insignificant no matter where I perish. Ishtar, use this chance to escape with Master! The destruction of the Azure Glitter Galaxy is a problem of our Servant Universe—a retribution. But you are different. You are a stranger I brought along. There's no need to share this destined fate with us!"]
