Beast of 666WP (666の獣, 666 no Kemono?), Class Name Beast VI/G (ビーストⅥ/Ｇ?), is the Beast-class Servant of Manaka Sajyou in the Second Holy Grail War of Fate/Prototype.
Profile[]
Identity[]
Beast of 666 is the beast that was written of in the Book of RevelationWP from the BibleWP. It is said to be the beast who wears ten crowns symbolizing the sins and greed of humanity. The symbol of the king of the world who was granted power and authority by a great Dragon and, during a period of 42 months, spat as many insolent words as they desired and had received the right to desecrate all things. The beast's heads were the seven hills of the Roman Empire; CapitoliumWP, PalatiumWP, AventinusWP, EsquilinusWP, CaeliusWP, QuirinalisWP, ViminalisWP. In other words, it symbolized the Roman Empire itself, and those ten horns were symbols of Roman emperors; AugustusWP, TiberiusWP, Caligula, ClaudiusWP, Nero, VespasianusWP, TitusWP, GalbaWP, OthoWP, VitelliusWP.[1]
"I saw a single woman astride a red beast. This beast, whose entire body was full of numerous blasphemous names, had seven heads and ten horns." This is the description of the beast of destruction that appeared in the Holy City and the woman who was straddling this beast, according to the book of Revelation. A large beast with seven heads like a Hydra came from the sea and disembarked toward the Holy City. This beast and woman, while two, are as one, and it is impossible to think of them separately. It is said that this woman was born from evil, and those who are quick to anger, those who are greedy, cannot resist her allure and become corrupted by that grail. This is a digression, but it is said that the red Saber who claims the title of emperor was seen by believers to be on par with this beast, after her death.[1][2]
The entire purpose of the Holy Grail War is to bring it into existence, planned by a heretic cardinal who stole an imitation Holy Grail from the Church. It is to be a new being of a higher level of existence incarnated through the Greater Grail, a cauldron to give shape to it due to the shape of the Grail originating from Christianity, by using the souls of seven Servants as an ignition charge.
It is referred to as Beast VI (ビーストVI, Bīsuto VI?). Beast VI is an Evil of Humanity which manifests in civilizations which have reached the height of their prosperity and are now past their transitional period.[3]
Appearance[]
Initially, the Beast is described to be a fleshy, black lumpy sea, due to having not fully materialized yet. But, as two of the crowns start appearing and it devours more sacrifices, it becomes able to generate arms out of the mud. After Manaka's death, the Beast develops a scarlet frame with 7 open mouths. It then becomes able to form heads prior to its first defeat. In its full form, it is apparently a scarlet creature that is somewhat akin to a dragon. It is also capable of human speech.
Personality[]
Prior to its birth and during its formation process, the Beast has a child-like personality. It views Manaka Sajyou as its mother, and acts very much like child e.g. wanting to be praised by Manaka. The Beast also has a ferocious appetite and gets excited by emotions like fear. Its deepest desire is to be born into the world and it was deeply hurt and mortified when Manaka (its mother) was killed, flying into a furious rage upon her death. During its rampage, the Beast acts in a manner akin to a ferocious predator.
Role[]
Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Sky Silver[]
In Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Sky Silver, the Beast Class Servant doesn't appear until the end of the novels.
Manaka manages to defeat all the other Servants in the First Holy Grail War and begins sacrificing various girls to help manifest the Beast, somehow believing that the Beast will help bring about Saber's wish. The Beast then helps Manaka kill her father, Hiroki Sajyou, who was trying to save Ayaka. The Beast of 666 becomes horrified when Saber kills Manaka and flies into a rampage upon her death, trying to kill both Saber and Ayaka, as well as hasten its own birth.
As Saber is about to disappear, he uses Excalibur Proto in conjunction with the borrowed powers of the other six Servants to destroy the Beast before it fully incarnates. However, since Saber was only able to break less than half of the 13 restraints, he was unable to fully defeat it, instead the blast places the Beast into a state of dormancy until the next Holy Grail War.[4] Eight years later, the Beast revives Manaka in a zombified state, due to Saber tossing Manaka's body into the muck of the Greater Grail prior to its defeat.
Fate/Prototype[]
After the defeat of Sancraid Phahn and the battle between Saber and Archer, Manaka is shown to be actively incarnating Beast along with the Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Berserker, and Assassin class Servants from the previous war. Manaka still seeks to use Beast to fulfill Saber's wish.
Fate/Grand Order[]
Arthur Pendragon Trial Quest[]
In Fate/Grand Order, it is revealed that Saber eventually defeats the Beast in Fate/Prototype. But as he goes to enter Avalon, he is stopped by Merlin who warns him that Beast VI is still alive. Arthur is then sent onto a journey across the multiverse, one that will not end until he slays Beast VI.
According to Arthur, Beast VI has split into an L form and an R form, but next to nothing is known about either one save for the fact that L possesses "noxious gas" and R has a "lingering scent".
Other appearances[]
In Fate/EXTRA CCC, BB's Bishop's Staff of Rulership is the Ten Crowns of domination worn by the Beast of Babylon converted into a teacher's cane. This is a male principle responding to a female principle; its true nature is a phallus (an erect rod).[1]
Abilities[]
Like the others in its class, the Beast of 666 is capable of Self-Modification and Independent Manifestation. It possesses Nega-Messiah - an ability of the same variety as Tiamat's Nega-Genesis.[5]

Golden Grail: EX, Self-Modification: EX, Potnia Theron: EXKeywords 01 - Cursed Cutting Crater (C. C. C.)
An attack on the world by BB in control of the Moon Cell.
Also called the spiritron imaginary pit.
A World Purge through event rewriting that makes maximum use of the EX skill "Conception of All Animals" BB has acquired.
The goddess who is the mother of earth mother goddesses that created earth is, in other words, the 'root' that created all creation. This anti-world Noble Phantasm outputs that information through an ultra-precise 3D printer and crushes the present world with the world the user desires.
The space eroded by BB becomes imaginary space and a curse that consumes reality. "CCC", as the name suggests, is a cursed pit that bores out reality.
In addition to scattering all objects inside on an atomic level and reconstructing them, it is capable of overwriting and reprinting information in fields such as luck and coincidence. While theoretical, it is also thought possible to distort the time axis by interfering with gravitational fields and rewrite the law of cause and effect.
◆
When used in combat, BB's familiars, the shapeshifters, engulf the target and, after turning into a sphere, are wiped out of existence along with the target and the whole dimension.
Normally, a structure in which sense of values can be shared cannot be created in the Far Side of the Moon, which is an imaginary space. What established BB's internal world as the Sakura Labyrinth was the power of this Noble Phantasm.
02 - Advanced Level AI
Artificial intelligences configured according to their programs.
In this age, they are treated as things that "function as programs", but "do not exist as actual beings". In other words, things that "are" right in front of your eyes but "are not". They are merely mechanisms for smooth progression of human lives.
The same applies in the SE.RA.PH. They are virtual lifeforms that are created along with the commencement of the Holy Grail War and disposed along with its conclusion.
Humanoid virtual lifeforms at the SE.RA.PH include NPCs that perform single objectives, AIs who have been granted capabilities for self-judgement, and advanced level AIs who have been entrusted with capabilities for self-judgement and management of sections.
Advanced level AIs are beings made to efficiently promote the Moon Cell's primary objective of "human observation". As perfect reproductions of humans, they have been programmed with even souls, but the souls only "exist" and their contents are colorless.
Virtual lifeforms made in the SE.RA.PH are reset with each round of the Holy Grail War. NPCs and AIs return to zero, but advanced level AIs retain just their personas while their records are reset—as if they never existed.
When the Holy Grail War is over, the only one left alive is the Master standing at the top. This applies not only to the Masters but also to the virtual lifeforms made in the SE.RA.PH.
◆
It appears that BB, like Sakura, is an advanced level AI entrusted with management of Masters' health. However, as she is rampaging for reasons unknown, the methods of "managing the Masters" have become extreme.
03 - Khakkhara of Domination
The teacher's pointer that BB carries.
A device that lets her make full use of her authority as an advanced level AI. Although limited to the Far Side of the Moon, this allows BB to modify the spiritron laws within the SE.RA.PH.
◆
"Ten Crowns of Domination" worn by the Beast of Babylon converted into a teacher's pointer.
This is the male principle corresponding to the female principle of the seven-headed beast, and its true nature is a phallus (erect rod).
The symbol of the king of the world who was granted throne and authority by a great dragon and received the right to, for 42 months, spit out as many insolent words as desired and desecrate all things.
The beast's heads were the seven hills of the Roman Empire... Capitolium, Palatium, Aventinus, Esquilinus, Caelius, Quirinalis, Viminalis. In other words, they meant the Roman Empire itself, and the ten horns symbolized the emperors... Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Vespasianus, Titus, Galba, Otho, Vitellius.０１ - C. C. C.
ムーンセルを掌握したＢＢによる、世界を犯す攻撃。
霊子虚構陥穽とも。
ＢＢが獲得したＥＸスキル『百獣受胎』を最大限に活用した、事象書き換えによるワールド・パージ。
大地を創造した地母神たちの母にあたる女神とは、即ち、万物を生み出した「根源」である。
この宝具はその情報を超精密立体プリンターとして出力し、使用者の望むままの世界で、いまある世界を握りつぶす対界宝具である。
ＢＢに侵食された空間は虚数空間となり、現実を蝕む呪いとなる。『Ｃ．Ｃ．Ｃ．』はその名の通り、現実をえぐり切り取る呪いの大穴なのだ。
その場にある物体を原子単位までばらばらにして再構成する他、運不運、偶然といった場の情報を書き換えて再出力する事もできる。
理論上の話になるが、重力場に干渉すれば時間軸を歪めて因果律を書き換える事も可能とされる。
◆
戦闘に使用した場合、ＢＢの使い魔であるシェイプシフターが対象を包み、球体化したのち、対象と共に次元ごと消滅する。
本来、虚数空間である月の裏側において、価値観を共有できる構造体は創造できない。
ＢＢの心象世界をサクラ迷宮として成立させていたのも、この宝具の力である。
０２ - 上級AI
プログラムによって構成された人工知能。
この時代では『プログラムとして機能しているが』
『存在として成立しないもの』とされている。
つまり、目の前に『有る』が『無い』もの。
人間の生活をスムーズに進めるための機構にすぎない。
それはSE.RA.PHにおいても同様で、彼らは聖杯戦争開始と共に作られ、終了と共に廃棄される仮想生命体とされる。
SE.RA.PHにおける人間型の仮想生命は、単一の目的だけをこなすＮＰＣ、自己判断資格を与えられたＡＩ、自己判断資格とセクション管理を任された上級ＡＩがある。
上級ＡＩはムーンセルの主目的である『人間観察』を効率的に進めるために作られたもの。
人間を完全に再現しており、魂すらプログラムされているが魂は『有る』だけで、その中身は無色のまま。
SE.RA.PHに作られた仮想生命たちは、その回の聖杯戦争が終了するとリセットされる。
ＮＰＣやＡＩはゼロに返るが、上級ＡＩはパーソナルだけ残し、その記録はリセット————無かった事にされる。
聖杯戦争が終わった時、生き残るのは頂点に立ったマスターだけ。
それはマスターだけではなく、SE.RA.PHに作られた仮想生命たちも共通なのだ。
◆
ＢＢは桜と同じく、マスターたちの健康管理を任された上級ＡＩと思われる。
しかし原因不明の暴走により、『マスターを管理する』 方法が極端なものになってしまったようだ。
０３ - 支配の錫杖
ＢＢが持つ教鞭。
上級ＡＩとしての権限をフルに使用できるデバイス。
月の裏側限定ではあるが、これによってＢＢはSE.RA.PH内の霊子法則を変更する事ができる。
◆
バビロンの獣がかぶる『十の支配の王冠』を教鞭に変えたもの。
これは七つの首の獣が女性原理に対応する男性原理であり、その本質はファロス（まっすぐな棒）だからである。
大いなる竜から王座と権威を与えられ、さらに４２ヶ月の間、どれだけ不遜な言葉を吐いてもよく、あらゆるものを冒涜する権利を与えられたという世界の王の象徴。
獣の首はローマ帝国の七つの丘……
カピトリウム、パラティウム、アウェンティヌス、エスクイリヌス、カエリウス、クイリナリス、ウィミナリス、すなわちローマ帝国そのものを意味し、十の角はその皇帝……
アウグストゥス、ティベリウス、カリグラ、クラウディウス、ネロ、ウェスパシアヌス、ティトゥス、ガルバ、 オト、ウィテリウス……を象徴している。Skills 01 - Golden Grail [EX]
The golden grail that BB owns. Also called the Holy Grail.
A negative grail that grants its owner's impudent and selfish wishes.
The grail held by the great whore of Babylon who appears in the Revelation to John. Though it is a fake Holy Grail, it is for that reason that it has become a "genuine" Holy Grail that grants the desires of humans regardless of right or wrong.
To the Christians who considered honorable poverty a virtue at that time, a grail molded from a symbol of wealth like gold no doubt had connotations of corrupt wealth, avarice, and vanity of trying to adorn oneself.
As the grail held by the great whore of Babylon who personifies the Roman Empire, this grail clearly symbolizes treasures on earth, which is the inverse of the Christ's words "Do not store up treasures on earth."
◆
"I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns."
According to the Book of Revelation, this is the description of the beast of destruction that appeared in the Holy City and the woman straddling that beast. A huge beast with sevens heads like a hydra appeared from the sea and landed at the Holy City. This beast and the woman, while two, are as one, and it is impossible to think of them separately.
As the woman was said to give birth to all evil, those who were imprudent or greedy could not resist her allure and became corrupted by that grail.
On a side note, the red Saber who calls herself the emperor was regarded the same as this beast and viewed as an enemy by the believers after her death.
02 - Self-Modification [EX]
A skill that allows restructuring of oneself.
AIs made by the Moon Cell were given an absolute command: "You must not improve own function."
However, BB, who escaped from that yoke due to her breakdown, began to expand her own functions. To boost her calculation power, she preyed upon/disassembled NPCs, AIs, and finally, Servants with black noise, then used as her own memory.
Though they are like appendix building additions that do not heed self-collapse, as the result, BB has changed into a hyper level AI with enormous capacity.
That condition resembles a city on reclaimed land that continues to build while submerging or Frankenstein's monster.
03 - Potnia Theron [EX]
Conception of All Animals.
The authority of the goddesses that BB compiled and absorbed from the abyss of the mooncell.
It embodies the power of all creation possessed by the mother goddesses—originating from a forgotten goddess approximately 8000 years ago (the goddess of Çatalhöyük) and branching to Tiamat and Cybele, Ishtar, Inanna, Anat, Astarte, Gaia, Hera, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, Athena, etc.
Many are depicted with mural crowns. This is because many of these goddesses were also guardian deities of cities.
◆
The symbols of this authority include holes opening the earth and the sky (caves and the moon), whirling tides and waterspouts of the sea, calderas of the volcanoes, etc., and from these, evils that bring all manners of death are birthed. However, after these evils have spread death, they promise certain good harvest and fertility. This authority is none other than the power of bringing death as well as giving life.
The earth mother is worshipped by the people and protects them as a guardian deity, but at the same time, she is the very sacrifice that nurtures them with crops born from her body and beasts of the fields and the forests.
The earth mother nurtures men with her flesh and blood, kills men as time passes to restores herself with her own nourishment, and once again nurtures men with her restored flesh and blood.
This process is the cycle of the food chain, and this cycle of life and death can be said to be the true nature of the earth mother. With this authority, most of the goddesses gave birth to countless monsters and giants, posing threats to gods and men, or they gave birth to heroes, thus protecting people.
As representative examples, Tiamat and Gaia became threats, while Hera is a mother of heroes.
◆
Those born on this earth cannot defy the authority of the mother goddess, as that would mean rebelling against the very system of life. However, when they leave this earth, head to space, and end the childhoood as intelligent lifeforms, they will have broken this authority.
The wish of Çatalhöyük is the coming of that day.０１ - 黄金の杯：[ＥＸ]
ＢＢが持つ黄金の杯。聖杯とも。
持ち主の厚顔で自分勝手な願い事を叶える負の聖杯。
ヨハネ黙示録にある、バビロンの大妖婦が持っていた杯。
偽聖杯であるが、偽の聖杯であるからこそ、正邪問わずに人間の欲望を叶える“本物の”聖杯となっている。
当時の清貧を美徳としたキリスト教徒にとって、金などという財の象徴で形作られた杯は、まさしく汚れた富と強欲、そして己を飾ろうとする虚偽を意味するものであった。
ローマ帝国の化身であるバビロンの大妖婦が手にする杯という時点で明瞭であるが、この杯はキリストの「地に富を積んではならない」と言う言葉を反転させた、地上の富を象徴している。
◆
“わたしは、赤い獣にまたがっている一人の女を見た。
この獣は、全身至るところ神を冒涜する数々の名で覆われており、七つの頭と十本の角があった。”
これは黙示録曰く、聖都に現れた滅びの獣と、その獣にまたがっていた女の描写である。
七つの頭を持つヒュドラの如き巨大な獣は海より現れ、聖都に上陸したという。
この獣と女は二つで一つであり、切り離して考える事はできない。
女はすべての邪悪を生み出すものとされ、短慮なる者、欲深き者は彼女の誘惑に逆らえず、その杯によって堕落したという。
余談ではあるが、皇帝を名乗る赤いセイバーはその死後、信徒たちにこの獣と同一視され敵視されたという。
０２ - 自己改造：[ＥＸ]
自身を改造するスキル。
ムーンセルによって作られたＡＩには“機能を向上させてはならない”という絶対命令が備わっている。
しかし、故障によりそのくびきから逃れたＢＢは自己機能の拡張を始めてしまった。
計算能力を高めるためにＮＰＣ、ＡＩ、はてはサーヴァントまで黒いノイズで捕食・分解し、自らのメモリとして使用。
自己崩壊をいとわない後付け増築だが、結果、ＢＢは膨大な容量を持つ超級ＡＩと化した。
その有様は沈水しながらも建築を続ける埋め立て地の都市か、フランケンシュタインの怪物のようでもある。
０３ - 百獣母胎：[ＥＸ]
百獣母胎。
それはＢＢがムーンセルの深淵より編纂し、取り込んだ女神の権能である。
約８０００年前のすでに名の失われた女神（チャタル・ヒュユクの女神）より発し、 ティアマットやキュベレー、イシュタル、イナンナ、アナテ、アスタルテ、ガイア、ヘラ、アルテミス、アフロディーテ、デメテル、アテナなどに派生した、母なる女神の持つ万物を生み出す力の具現である。
多くは城壁冠の形をとってイメージされる。
これはこれらの女神の多くが、同時に都市の守護神でもあったからだ。
◆
大地や空に開いた門（洞窟や月）、海の渦潮や竜巻、火山の火口などに象徴され、そこからあらゆる死をもたらす害悪を生み出す。
ただし、その害悪は死をまき散らした後、確かな豊穣や多産を約束するもの。
この権能は死と同時に生を生み出す力に他ならない。
大地母神は人々によって崇められ、それらを加護する守護神であると同時に、その身から生まれ出る穀物や作物、野や森の獣によって人々を養う犠牲そのものでもある。
大地母神は自らの血肉によって人を養い、そして時を経ればその人を殺して自らの糧として己の血肉を回復し、またその回復した血肉で人を養う。
この過程は食物連鎖の円環そのものでもあり、この生と死の循環こそが大地母神の本質と言っていい。
ほとんどの女神はこの権能で、無数の怪物や巨人を生んで神々や人の脅威となり、あるいは英雄を生み、それから人々を守った。
その代表例は、脅威となったならばティアマットやガイア、英雄の母ならばヘラである。
◆
この大地に生まれたものは、母なる神の権能には逆らえない。それは生命のシステムそのものに反逆する事だからだ。
しかし大地を離れ、宇宙を目指し、知性体としての幼年期を終えた時こそ、この権能が打ち破れる事だろう。
チャタル・ヒュユクの願いは、その日が訪れる事にある。Setting 01 - Spiritron Imaginary Pit
Spiritron Imaginary Pit.
The official name of this stage.
Formerly just an imaginary number space for storing malignant information, "this place" was established as a real number space in the present, past, and future by the fact that BB had reached the Moon Cell core. It was reconstructed by her hands into the “far side of the moon” where even Masters can exist.
◆
With the power of the primordial goddess at hand, BB succeeded in quantifying the "nothingness" before the birth of life. She transformed into the master of the imaginary number space where both time and space and ambiguous.
Although the Moon Cell cannot be hacked no matter how much time is taken, BB took over it by placing herself in "unlimited time".
02 - The remnants of peaceful days
During the preliminaries, when Kiara liberated her free will, she was unable to control that status condition and went into overload.
Since NPCs can only do routine work, they ignored self-destructing Sakura as something "non-existent", and since the Moon Cell's check only takes place at the end of the day in the preliminaries, Sakura was at risk of termination.
Witnessing this condition, [Kishinami Hakuno] called out to her, "Are you okay."
The observation that she "is here" by another let Sakura recover the unconscious on the verge of termination, and due to the nursing afterwards, she gained an ego that clearly "wanted to be here". Her self-termination was averted.
◆
What happened afterwards no longer need to be said.
When the next day comes, everything will be erased by the Moon Cell. Wanting to continue this one day miracle, Sakura used her advanced AI privilege to repeat "the day she came to know [Kishinami Hakuno]" for 69 days.
However, as days passed, Sakura became distressed by her self-contradiction as an AI and the facts surrounding [Kishinami Hakuno].
"Masters participating in the Holy Grail War will all die except one. No, to begin with, [Kishinami Hakuno] is..."
Sakura continued to be distressed by her selfish desire to continue the loop for eternity and her feelings for [Kishinami Hakuno]. In conclusion, she chose to seal the 69 days worth of memory... the "love" she acquired, so she could return to being a normal AI. AIs cannot delete records. Because of that, she moved the memory to a backup frame to reset herself.
She believed that to be the most correct choice for [Kishinami Hakuno].
◆
But even if recollections of the mind are lost, memories recorded by the body live on. Though she should have forgotten everything and returned to being a normal AI, she was shaken by unidentified emotional values every time she talked with [Kishinami Hakuno].
Meanwhile, the backup to whom the memories were transplanted couldn't tolerate herself like that, and she decided to act as BB the rebel who destroys the Moon Cell's system for a certain objective then made her move.
The timing when she seized the Far Side of the Moon was "the Holy Grail War: the end of fifth round ~ before the start of the sixth round". The four who were not eliminated yet—[Kishinami Hakuno], Leo, Rin, and Rani—and the irregular, Jinako, were kidnapped to the Far Side in the middle of the Holy Grail War while they were still alive.
Masters Matou Shinji, Gatou, and Julius were moved to the imaginary space "0.00001 seconds before" the moment the firewall terminated them after their defeat from the Holy Grail War, prolonging their instants of life.
In either case, C. C. C. is a dream by BB. If the dreamer disappears, the world ought to return to the reality where nothing happened.
◆
On a yet another side note, everyday scenery of the prologue that [Kishinami Hakuno] saw in the nightmare was an artificial paradise modeled on the discarded 69 days.
After pulling [Kishinami Hakuno] to the Far Side, BB placed the digital body in the old school building, put it in a deep sleep, and locked them in an unwaking dream.
Normally, they would have lived peacefully in the looping everyday life, but the strong bond with their Servant or [Kishinami]'s will rejecting the peaceful everyday caused cracks in the artificial paradise, and [Kishinami Hakuno] came to notice the abnormality.
To put [Kishinami Hakuno] in a deep sleep once more, BB reset the school building and tried to remake the dream, but [Kishinami Hakuno] escaped the reset as well and leaped into an even deeper part of the imaginary space.
It was a bottom deeper than the bottom of Id. "Death of the collective unconscious" beneath the unconscious. What saved [Kishinami Hakuno] who leaped into a region even BB cannot reach was the voice of the Servant whose fate was shared with theirs.
Thus, the contract was sealed, and [Kishinami Hakuno] woke up in the old school building left in the Far Side.０１ - 霊子虚構陥穽
霊子 虚構 陥穽。
この舞台の正式名称。
悪性情報を貯蔵するだけの虚数空間だった“ここ”は、ＢＢがムーンセル中枢に到達した事実をもって、現在・過去・未来において実数空間として成立。
彼女の手によって、マスターたちでも存在できる“月の裏側”として再構築された。
◆
原初の女神の力を手に入れたＢＢは生命が生まれる前の『無』を数値化する事に成功。
時間も空間もあやふやな虚数空間の使い手に変革した。
どれほどの時間を要しようがハッキングできないムーンセルだが、ＢＢは『無限の時間』の概念に自分を置く事で攻略した。
０２ - 日々の名残
日々の名残：
予選中、キアラの手によって自由性を解放された彼女はそのステータス異常を制御できずに過負荷を起こした。
ＮＰＣたちはルーチンワークしかできないため、自壊しかけていた桜を“無い”ものとしてスルーし、予選ではムーンセルのチェックは一日の終わりにしか行われないため、桜は消滅の危機にあった。
その異常を目の当たりにした岸波白野は彼女に呼びかける。大丈夫か、と。
桜は“自分はここにいる”という他者からの観測を受けて消滅寸前だった無意識を持ち直し、その後の看病によって明確に“ここに在りたい”という自我を獲得。自己消滅から免れた。
◆
その後の事はもはや語るまでもない。
翌日になればすべてムーンセルの手によって消されてしまう。この、たった一日の奇蹟を続けたがった桜は上級ＡＩの特権を使用して
“岸波白野と知り合った一日”を６９日間、繰り返した。
しかし日が進むにつれ桜はＡＩとしての自己矛盾と、岸波白野を取り巻くある事実に苦しむ事になる。
“聖杯戦争に参加したマスターは、ひとりを除いてみな死亡する。いや、そもそも岸波白野は————”
桜は幸せな時間を永遠にループしていたという我欲と、岸波白野への思いに苦しみ続けた。
結論として、彼女は正常なＡＩに戻るため、６９日に及ぶメモリー……獲得した“愛”を封印する道を選んだ。
ＡＩには記録を消す事はできない。
そのため、バックアップの機体にメモリーを移動させる事で自らをリセットしたのだ。
それが岸波白野にとって、もっとも正しい選択と信じて。
◆
だが精神の記憶は失っても、肉体が記録した思い出は生き続ける。
すべてを忘れ正常なＡＩに戻ったはずの彼女は、岸波白野と話すたびに正体不明の感情値に揺れ動かされる事になる。
一方、メモリーを移植されたバックアップはそんな自分を許せず、ある目的のためムーンセルのシステムを破壊する反逆者・ＢＢとして自らの方針を定め、行動を開始した。
彼女が月の裏側を掌握したタイミングは、現実時間で“聖杯戦争 五回戦終了～六回戦開始前”。
まだ敗退していなかった岸波白野、レオ、凛、ラニの四名、そしてイレギュラーのジナコは聖杯戦争の途中、生きている状態で月の裏側に拉致された。
間桐シンジ、ガトー、ユリウス、といったマスターは聖杯戦争で敗れた後、ファイヤーウォールによって消滅する“0.00001秒前”に虚数空間に移動させられ、一瞬の命を長らえていた。
どちらにせよ、Ｃ．Ｃ．Ｃ．はＢＢが見ていた夢である。
夢を見ていたものが消え去れば、世界はもとの、何事もなかった現実に戻るだろう。
◆
また、余談ではあるが岸波白野が悪夢として見た冒頭の日常風景は、捨てられた６９日間をモデルにして作られた人工楽園である。
ＢＢは岸波白野を月の裏側に引きずりこんだ後、旧校舎にその電脳体を安置させ、深い眠りに落とし、覚めない夢の中に閉じこめた。
通常ならループする日常の中で平和に過ごすのだが、サーヴァントとの強い繋がり、あるいは、安寧の日常を否定する岸波の意思によって人工楽園に綻びが生じ、岸波は異常に気がつくのだった。
ＢＢはもう一度岸波白野を深い眠りに落とすため、校舎をリセットして夢をやり直そうとしたが、岸波はそのリセットからも逃れ、虚数空間の更なる深部に飛びこんでしまう。
そこはイドの底のさらに底。
無意識の下にある、“集合無意識の死”である。
ＢＢでさえ手を出せない領域に飛びこんだ岸波白野を救ったのは、運命を共にするサーヴァントの声だった。
かくして契約は交わされ、岸波白野は月の裏側に残された旧校舎で目を覚ます事になる。 - ↑ Fate/Grand Order Arcade: Convergent Singularity - Corruption Fruit City: Lilim Harlot - Beast VI/S load screen

Profile
One of the creator deities of Mesopotamian myth.
The gods were born from the union of the freshwater Abzu and the saltwater Tiamat. Then, the gods rebelled against their father, and seized authority over the world from him.
Tiamat quietly approved of her children’s actions. It was proof that her love for her children outweighed her love for her husband.
However, the gods then turned their blades on Tiamat. Tiamat wailed and raged, birthing eleven new Magical Beasts to oppose the gods.
At the end of the war, Tiamat and the Eleven Beasts were destroyed.
The gods split Tiamat’s corpse in two, and used them to form the heavens and earth. It is said that this ritual created the world of humans.

The black mud is also included in Tiamat’s height. However, the mud is made of imaginary numbers, so her weight is unquantifiable.
Meanwhile, Tiamat’s volume is infinite. In other words, she is a four-dimensional pocket.

Tiamat is the womb that was cast aside after the world was created.
She is the Maternal Sea who was used as the soil to give birth to life, but once the Earth’s environment settled and ecosystems were established, Tiamat was deemed unnecessary and driven out into the world of imaginary numbers. (The Inner World. Lifeless imaginary number space, not a parallel universe.)
Because the Earth’s ecosystems were established, Tiamat, who randomly designs life, was no longer needed.
The goddess became nothing more than an obstacle to the process by which life forms acquired the intelligence determined by the planet.
Since then, Tiamat has been waiting in the world of imaginary numbers for her chance to return to Earth.

[Class Skills]
- Authority of the Beast: A
This can be considered an anti-humanity Skill.
It is an ability that is especially effective against Heroic Spirits, Divine Spirits, and all things born from the mother’s body.
This Skill is not possessed solely by the Second Beast, but also by all Magical Beasts she gives birth to.
- Independent Manifestation: B
The Skill to manifest independently in the current world.
Seven days after manifestation, the Indian Ocean will be smothered black.
Once Tiamat manifests, she unceasingly gives birth to Magical Beasts, and sets out to devour humanity.
However, the body of the Second Beast is the ocean itself, so it cannot move onto land. Instead, it is her children’s role to mop up the human race.
Furthermore, this Skill is an expression of the holder’s presence across all of space-time, rendering her immune to attacks by methods such as time travel paradoxes, and canceling out all instant death attacks as well.
- Self-Modification: EX
Tiamat can remold her own Saint Graph using the black Sea of Life.
Her body can grow from its standard Saint Graph (Femme Fatale) into that of a dragon over 60 meters in length.
Once Tiamat becomes a dragon, attacks against her of A++ rank or lower are nullified.
Unlock: Primal Planet, Admiring the Sky
- Sea of Life: EX
The Second Beast itself is the sea which gives rise to life.
It cycles the True Ether of primordial Earth, so its mana supply within this sea is infinite.
All who are caught and drowned in the black mud are randomly assigned the following Skills: Self-Modification, Life Transformation, Life Fusion, and Individual Multiplication.
Once these organisms exit the sea to make landfall, they are forced into a cellular-level geis — a nitrogenous base contract (amino-geis) — and automatically become enemies of humankind.
- Nega-Genesis: A
A Skill of the same type as Nega-Messiah, which is possessed by the Sixth Beast.
It is a conceptual bounded field which completely overturns modern evolutionary theory and the predictions of Earth’s genesis.
Thanks to this ability, the Second Beast has acquired a strong resistance to the Noble Phantasms of Servants created by correct human history.
- Monstrous Strength: A++
One’s ability as a monster. This Skill raises the user’s Strength.
It is at about the highest possible level. This is why Tiamat’s Strength is that of a titan when she makes the black mud into her body and manifests in her draconic form.

With the collapse of the cornerstone of anthropic principle, Tiamat managed to return to this world with the power of the Holy Grail. And yet, she was in middle of a slumber.
Setting aside wherever it was caused by Merlin’s magecraft, she awoke from that sleep due to the attack from Chaldea and set out to eradicate mankind in accordance with her instincts.
While there is resentment・hatred・sadness for being discarded as someone who had already served her purpose, this is also a deed of indulging in the “joy” of once again repainting the Earth’s ecosystem and having everything come back to the mother.
Her Class was determined by this true nature described above.
The goddess of genesis and the likes are nothing but fake names.
Deserted by humans, this is one of the most rejected great disasters in human history.
Its name is Beast II.
One of the seven human vices, the beast carrying the principle of "regression."
Unlock: Primal Planet, Admiring the Sky
It is impossible to confirm if Tiamat possesses anything resembling a personality.
Perhaps she lost her intellect, or perhaps she never had one to begin with. Either is acceptable.
The only meaning to her existence is to create, raise, and love her children. Thus, she set out to make war against humanity for declaring that it has no need for her.
It is the functioning of an extremely primitive system: “If I do not exterminate modern humanity, I will be killed.”
•Motivations・Attitude towards the Master
One of seven billion. An obvious target to be obliterated.
While the Second Beast is a repulsive invader to humanity, humans are terrifying aliens (extraterrestrials) to the Second Beast.

キャラクター詳細
メソポタミア神話における創世の神のひとり。
神々は真水であるアプスー、塩水であるティアマトから生み出された。
その後、子供である神々は原父アプスーに反旗を翻し世界の支配権を獲得する。
この時、ティアマトは子供たちの行為を穏やかに容認した。夫への愛より子供たちへの愛が勝っていた証左である。
しかし、神々は母であるティアマトにさえ剣を向けた。ティアマトは嘆き、狂い、新しい子供として十一の魔獣を産みだし、神々と対決する。
戦いの末、ティアマトと十一の魔獣は破れた。
神々は彼女の死体を二つに裂き、天と地を造り、これを人界創世の儀式としたという。

出典：古代メソポタミア神話
地域：メソポタミア

黒い泥もティアマトの身長となる。ただし泥は虚数なので重さは計量できない。
反面、体積は無限となる。要は四次元ポケット。

創世後に切り捨てられた母胎。
生命を生み出す土壌として使われたが、地球の環境が落ち着き、生態系が確立されてからは不要なものとして虚数世界（裏側の世界。並行世界ですらない、生命のない虚数空間）に追放された『母なる海』である。
……生態系が確立した以上、ランダムに生命をデザインする彼女はもう要らない。
生命体がこの星に準じた知性を獲得する行程において、もう邪魔者でしかなかったのだ。
以後、ティアマトは虚数世界で元の地球に戻るチャンスを待ち続けた。

【クラス別スキル】
○獣の権能：Ａ
対人類、とも呼ばれるスキル。
英霊、神霊、なんであろうと“母体”から生まれたものに対して特効性能を発揮する。
これはビーストII本体だけでなく、彼女から生まれた魔獣すべてに付与される。
○単独顕現：Ｂ
単体で現世に現れるスキル。
一度顕現してしまえば七日に渡りインド洋を塗り替える。
顕現してからは休む事なく魔獣たちを生み出し、人類を食い尽くす。
反面、ビーストⅡ本体は海そのものなので陸地にあがる事はできない。
人類掃討は子供である魔獣たちの仕事となる。
また、このスキルは“既にどの時空にも存在する”在り方を示しているため、時間旅行を用いたタイムパラドクス等の攻撃を無効にするばかりか、あらゆる即死系攻撃をキャンセルする。
○自己改造：ＥＸ
黒い生命の海を用いて自分の霊基を作り替える。
通常の霊基状態（ファム・ファタール）から、全長60メートルを超す竜体に成長する。
竜体になったティアマトはランクA++以下の攻撃を無効化する。
アンロック条件：「原初の星、見上げる空」をクリアすると開放
○生命の海：ＥＸ
ビーストⅡは生命を生み出す海そのものである。
地球創世記の真エーテルを循環させている為、この海の中では魔力は無限に供給される。
黒泥に囚われ、海中に沈んだ者は自己改造、生態変化、生態融合、個体増殖といったスキルがランダムに付加される。
海から地上に出る際にはビーストIIと細胞クラスでのギアス……塩基契約（アミノギアス）しなければならず、自動的に人類の敵になってしまう。
○ネガ・ジェネシス：Ａ
ビーストⅥが持つ『ネガ・メサイヤ』と同類のスキル。
現在の進化論、地球創世の予測をことごとく覆す概念結界。
これをおびたビーストⅡは、正しい人類史から生まれたサーヴァントたちの宝具に強い耐性を獲得する。
○怪力：Ａ＋＋
魔物としての能力。自身の筋力を向上させる。
ほぼ最上級のもの。黒泥を体とし、竜体として現れたティアマトの筋力は巨人のそれである。
アンロック条件：「原初の星、見上げる空」をクリアすると開放
人理定礎の崩壊、そして聖杯の力によりこちらの世界に帰還を果たしたティアマトは、しかし、深い微睡みの中にいた。
それがマーリンの魔術によるものかはさておき、カルデアの攻撃によりその眠りから目覚め、その本能に従って人類掃討に乗り出した。
それは用済みとして捨てられた恨み・憎しみ・悲しみもあるが、
もう一度地球の生態系を塗り替え、すべての母に返り咲く『喜び』に耽る行為でもある。
以上の本性をもって彼女のクラスは決定された。
創世の女神など偽りの名。
其は人間が置き去りにした、人類史に最も拒絶された大災害。
その名をビーストⅡ。
七つの人類悪のひとつ、『回帰』の理を持つ獣である。
アンロック条件：「原初の星、見上げる空」をクリアすると開放
人格らしきものは確認できない。
理想をなくしたのか、はじめから理性がないのか、どちらともとれる。
ただ子供を産み、育て、愛でる事だけを存在意義としているが、これを否定された為に『おまえはいらない』と決議した人類との戦いに乗り出した。
『現人類を駆除しないと自分が殺される』という、きわめて原始的なシステムで稼働している。
○動機・マスターへの態度
七十億分の一。当たり前の抹殺対象。
人類にとってビーストIIはおぞましい侵略者（インベーダー）だが、ビーストIIにとっても人間はおそろしい異星人（エイリアン）なのである。 - Authority of the Beast: A
