The UniverseWP (宇宙, Uchū?), also called the Space-Time ContinuumWP (時空, Jikū?), is everything that exists, including space, time, matter, and energy.
Characteristics[]
While it is not explicitly confirmed, the universe is implied to have emerged during the Big BangWP (ビッグバン, Bigguban?),[1][2] roughly 13.8 or 14.6 billion years ago.[1][3] For example, when ORT created Grand Foreigner, he was able to redefine its Zone of Origin to 14.6 billion years ago.[3] Furthermore, it expandsWP exponentially through a process from astronomy called InflationWP (インフレーション, Infurēshon?).[2]
While the universe is implied to be infinite in size,[4] humans are only able to interact with a fraction of it called the Observable UniverseWP (観測宇宙, Kansoku Uchū?).[1] The reason for this is that it is impossible to exceed the speed of light with their current understanding of the Laws of PhysicsWP.[5] Due to this, Humanity's technology is currently limited to observing a range of 13.8 billion Light-years from Earth, the distance Light has been able to cover since the Big Bang.[1] That boundary is called the Event HorizonWP (事象の地平, Jishō no Chihei?).[6] That being said, while humans lack the scientific knowledge or technology to reach outside the Observable Universe,[1] entities from other universes have been able to reach Earth:[7][8][1]
- Dark Star Terminals - The entities summoned by Daybit Sem Void are from a Dark Star that was blasted 14 billion Light-years away during the Big Bang to a place outside the whole universe. Due to this, their source is too far for even light to reach Earth.[1]
- Machine Gods - Chaos spent 97% of its resources to send the Machine God fleet to Humanity's universe to find a new planet to colonize.[8]
- Outer Gods - Entities that originate from the Outer Universe.[7]
- Velber - According to Archimedes, Velber is from the Outer Universe.[9] This was also implied by Zepar during the Salem Subcategory Singularity when he claimed that Raum's plan to have a Foreigner from a Different Universe destroy humanity had already been attempted and had failed during 12,000 BC.[7]
The universe is full of matter and energy. Over millions of years, large quantities of elements like carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and helium, along with gas and interstellar dust, are able to accumulate and form large spherical objects known as a Planet Egg. This isn't a particularly unusual, special, or rare phenomenon. On the contrary, it's a regular cosmic occurrence, happening more frequently than daily births in a civilized society. They are as simple to form and to disappear as a discarded chicken egg. However, the universe is divided into multiple sectors, some of which have been entrusted with the potential to develop intelligent life. These sectors contain a Soul that nurtures life, planting Planet Egg seeds infused with an Archetype of Creation to ultimately create an Living Planet with the potential to develop Intelligent Life.[10]
The universe has a finite amount of energy,[11] and therefore, a finite life span.[12] Nevertheless, the universe allows for countless possibilities and creates many Parallel Worlds and Alternate Histories with different developments. However, the universe's energy spent managing the timelines remains finite, so it would be unsuntainable to let them branch off indefinitely. The universe is able to conserve energy by pruning worlds that have veered too far from the strongest, most stable timelines. This process, known as the Culling, is activated on every Quantum Time-Lock.[13][11]
The vastness of the world view of Buddhism is much greater than other religions, encompassing the universe as the kingdom of the Buddha. It uses numerical concepts like NayutaWP (10^60) and MuryoutaisuuWP (10^68) to display their magnitude, and the size of the universe is the great trichiliocosmWP, composed of one thousand medium trichiliocosm, which are composed of one thousand galaxies, small trichiliocosm each made up of three thousand worlds. It is on the scale of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and superclusters known in the modern era, interpreted over two thousand years ago. Furthermore, Bodhisattvas are stated to be gods of universal scale and power who can easily manage things on the scale of the Solar System.[14]
In the Hindu world, Shiva is the god who administers the "destruction of the universe" through the unfathomable power of his third eye.[15][4] Similarly, both the thunderbolts of Zeus and his Lostbelt counterpart are stated to possess the Authority to incinerate the entire universe.[16][17][18][8] However both seem to be limited to their Texture rather than the entire universe.
Structure[]
Galaxy[]
A GalaxyWP (銀河, Ginga?) is a massive, gravitationally bound system of Stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter.[citation needed]
Known Galaxies:
- Milky WayWP (天の川, Amanogawa?): Humanity also calls it their native Galactic System (銀河系, Gingakei?) to differentiate it from other galaxies.[19]
- Sombrero
- Magellan
- Seyfert
- Quasar
- Shining Blue Galaxy: Similar to the Milky Way, the Shining Blue Galaxy is regarded as the Servant Universe's own Galactic System.[19]
Nebula[]
A NebulaWP is a vast cloud of gas and dust in space.
Known Nebulas:
Star System[]
A Star SystemWP (星系, Seikei?) is a small group of one or more Stars that are bound together by gravity and orbit a common center of mass.
Known Star Systems:
- Solar SystemWP (太陽系, Taiyōkei?): The Solar System where Humans live. It is a sector tasked with planting Planet Eggs and nurturing life.
Parallel Universes[]
Outside our Universe (外の宇宙, Soto no Uchū?, lit. "Outside the Universe") exist Different Universes (別の宇宙, Betsu no Uchū?, localized as "Parallel Dimensions"),[7] They are known as Parallel Universes (別宇宙, localized as "Another Universe"?),[21][22][23] and each one exists self-contained in its own Space-Time Continuum.[24]
Jacques de Molay implied that the culprit behind the Halloween Rising Singularity may have been from another universe.[21]
At the end of Saber Wars II, Space Ishtar seemed to imply that the Servant Universe is both a Parallel Universe and a Parallel World.[25] It's unclear if both terms refer to the same concept. This would seem to contradict the Salem Subcategory Singularity, where Zepar stated that the Outer Universe's status as a different universe meant it was beyond the scope of Parallel Worlds.[7]

Conceptual Universe[]
Conceptual Universe (概念宇宙, Gainen Uchū?)
- Ars Paulina - Goetia's second Noble Phantasm is a Miniature World (小世界, Ko Sekai?) made from the Magic Circuits of Solomon. While it is modeled after the Universe, it contains no other celestial bodies, and so in terms of Human scale it is basically a single cell.[27]
- Ashtart Origin and Ishtar Ashtart - Calamity Jane claimed that the two Primordial Goddesses are Conceptual Universes.[28]
- Greater Holy Grail of Fuyuki - The Holy Grail made Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern using her own body. Similar to Goetia's Ars Paulina, she had her Magic Circuits removed so they could be used to as the basis for the Holy Grail's system to initiate the Third Magic, these Magic Circuits almost a kilometer in diameter made a "Miniature Universe (小宇宙, Shōuchū?, also translated as "Microcosm") created from a single human body".[27][29]
- Kama's Conceptual Universe - When Shiva incinerated Kama, she became Ananga, the Incorporeal One. Due to this, the universe and her became linked on a conceptual level. During the Edo Singularity, she was able to transform the sixth level of the Ooku Labyrinth into its own self-contained Inner Conceptual Universe. Despite being an infinite universe without beginning or end, it is considered part of her body.[4]
- The Celestial Egg (天体の卵, Tentai no Tamago?, lit. "Celestial Body's Egg"), also known as the Planet's Memories (惑星の記憶, Wakusei no Kioku?) - Existing within a "deep, endless darkness" as a conceptual universe. A domain which the lifeforms on Earth do not recall, with laws which are yet out of reach from humanity's observation. A hollow, the infinite whilst smallest, reaching into the furthest depths of space. Though an infinity of stars may release their light, their density and time is insufficient in lighting up the infinite extent that the universe possesses. The universe seen from Earth is but a mere 13.8 billion light-years of information. One cannot illuminate the dark, cold universe with a light source of only that degree. In the Ciel Route Midnight Rainbow, when Shiki Tohno falls down towards the black core of Arcueid Brunestud's Luminous Body, he sees a glimpse of what Roa desired, a manifestation of Arcueid's Principle, the Planet's Records. Though he has already lost that chance, now, a fragment of that wish is appearing on the surface of the Earth. He eventually falls deeper into the limit of the observable universe: The Conceptual Universe. It has no Death Lines but as a perfect record, Shiki only needed to scratch the core and it would completely destroy Arcueid's Luminary form.[30]

About 100 meters when stabilized (as big or bigger than the tallest building in the city. Adapts to the level of nearby civilization)
※Its weight stays the same no matter the state—being the same as the normal Arcueid. Given that it’s just the lifeforce spilling out from Earth given shape, if pressed to give an answer, I’d say its weight would be the mass of Earth, or something. So, no matter the action it takes, as long as it’s on the surface of Earth, it’s not heavy, and so its weight doesn’t cause any damage to the terrain—meaning, when the Luminary walks, it doesn’t cause the ground to sink in or anything like that. However, this does not apply to man-made objects.
If normal Arcueid is:
Strength: B Endurance: B Agility: B Magic: A Luck: B Noble Phantasm: EX
Then Luminary Arcueid is:
Strength: E Endurance: EX Agility: B Magic: A++ Luck: EX Noble Phantasm: D
Personal Skills
■ Marble Phantasm: D
Though Arcueid normally has this at A, here it has been ranked down to D.
True Ancestors in a Luminary state can only use Marble Phantasm in an approximate manner.
Due to having turned into a Luminary, she cannot construct any detailed fantasies.
■ Event Storage: EX
The ability to conceptually and physically store things that have been cultivated on the surface of Earth.
The confiscation of all creations birthed on the surface of the planet—its Textures.
An ability on par with the Divine Spirits’ so-called ‘Authorities’, though given that it’s a function possessed by the planet, it is less of a skill, and more of a system.
The gravitational field that appears under Arcueid’s feet when she has turned into a Luminary has enough of a reach to store all Textures on Earth.
■ Mana Discharge (Planetary): A
The super version of Mana Discharge—the Breath of the Planet.
What animals know as ‘breathing’. She inhales magical energy (mana) from the atmosphere and then exhales it into the outer world as new magical energy after circulating it through her body—a Mana Cleaner.
This is the reason why the Earth gets filled with high-density mana when the Luminary appears, causing humans to die.
The gravitational field that appears under Arc’s feet when she’s turned into a Luminary has enough of a reach to store all Textures on Earth.
Class Skills (Passives)
■ Luminary: A
Rapid expansion (Inflation) of the Spiritron Core.
A phenomenon more simply called a ‘Luminary’.
(‘Inflation’ is originally terminology from astronomy—it’s what the exponential expansion of the universe that occured after the Big Bang is called) A state of excitation possessed by True Ancestors of the highest grade—their royalty. It’s said to occur as a side-effect when the True Ancestor has by some means had its body completely destroyed.
When Arcueid—a small yet heavy being—loses the body which forms her frame, the compressed magical energy within is released, and the result is that her Lifescale expands (though this is actually a false impression).
Though Arcueid’s consciousness is in the center of this light, as she no longer possesses a body to serve as a wall, she takes a state where her surplus magical energy levels remain, while the sort of self-image she imagines for herself is projected and dispersed. The Association calls this a Spiritron Frame (Lightframe). In other words, this is a natural phenomenon created out of nothing but mental power.
If one carelessly destroys a True Ancestor who still has magical energy in surplus, the energy stored within their body manifests—a retribution mechanism—to become a calamity that destroys human cities.
Arcueid does not cause Inflation when Roa still has part of her power and she’s about to die from maceration, but with her having killed Roa in Ciel Route, her love toward Shiki causes her to bug out—unable to keep suppressing her vampiric urges, she brings about this phenomenon. Correction: she unintentionally brings about this phenomenon.
Luminary Arcueid is about 200 meters when she’s emerging, and about 100 when she’s stabilized her dispersed consciousness and is in her normal state.
— Mystic Eyes (Hyper Wide-Range)
All intelligent beings who Luminary Arc looks at will have their minds paralyzed, either out of fear, or out of worship.
Unless those seen by Luminary Arc have unusually powerful mental strength, both escaping and fighting is infeasible.
— Fantasy Dequantification (Nullification of Normal Attacks)
Because of being in a mental form, only attacks which Arcueid recognizes as ‘oh, this one will suck’ are capable of wounding her.
In addition, being in an energy form means all injuries she receives are instantly restored to normal.
— Geothermal Manipulation & Atmospheric Manipulation
To change the surrounding environment into a harsh one.
The ground going into high-temperatures alone is enough to impede the activity of life, with all that approaches at the mercy of the atmospheric turbulence, as though a leaf in the wind—in short, she’s a personification of natural disasters.
An existence which is earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, and the likes, all put together.
Princess Arc from Melty used all these consciously and intentionally, while Luminary Arc can only ever use them unconsciously and reactionarily.
They are only activating automatically as biological functions, and cannot be controlled.
Princess Arc is actually the one who is the superior of the two, given that she can properly use these disasters as weapons, and is able to keep damages to a minimum.
The Luminary is not a form meant for attacking, but for regeneration.
It is nothing more than a necessary procedure for recreating the body of the True Ancestor so they will once again be able to act out their role as one. Therefore, it’s unable to move from the spot where it manifested, no matter what (as there is no need to).
It’s sort of like the cores and surface-level synchrotron radiation quantity of stars.
The convergence of hydrogen and helium through strong gravity leads to planets being pressed together into masses of resources, eventually forming a benign crust after they cool down, while a Luminary is meant to turn into a body after its convergence.
The benefit to having a body goes without saying: the establishment of an ego—a self. Remaining a Luminary means that eventually the consciousness would eventually merge with the Earth itself and then disperse as mere energy.
→ However, in Ciel Route, as Arc couldn’t control her reason/emotions, she also couldn’t cancel her Luminary. The only thing awaiting her at the end of that would be to perish from dispersal.
→ In addition, once she started walking out of jealousy, she gave up on being a chrysalis. Though the Luminary is ultimately a system meant for returning her to normal, once it is employed as an individual lifeform, even Arcueid will start falling apart at the seams, and eventually completely perish.
→ On the other hand… if one was to use the Luminary as a means of birthing a new, stronger individual instead of as a means of returning it to normal, then this would not apply. It would be able to act as a new True Ancestor, while the Arcueid of before would then quite literally disappear.
Lore
— Concerning the suppression of Arcueid's power.
The True Ancestors are the Touch of Earth—something like its immune system.
True Ancestors of the highest grade like Arcueid are one step above that of an immune system—something which would no doubt be appropriate to label as the Alter-Ego of Earth.
(In fact, the True Ancestors were only ever birthed to create a frame on the level of an Alter-Ego of Earth. All True Ancestors outside of Arc were failures. Yet in the True Ancestors’ last days, they succeeded in creating the Brain of the Planet that had been desired in the first place).
However, that such a lifeform would conduct itself in a human body could in itself actually be said to be something abnormal.
If you pack the energy of a celestial object into a tiny human body, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it would suddenly go out of control.
As long as Arcueid remains active, her output is limited to always be one step above her opponent, but this is not a representation of her sheer power.
This is to protect the body in its function as an output device, and to prevent wasting energy (for the earth).
However, in the case that the limiter of the body is taken away from her, and Arcueid’s mental activity is unabated, the suppression of her power is undone.
The magical energy hidden within her body disperses almost in an explosion, and the limit on her ability to draw energy from the Earth is removed.
This is Inflation—the Inflationary Luminary Phenomenon.
Though normally bound to the planet's interior, being a ‘soul’ (the chances of a celestial object being born in space is practically none. Force of Fate and Spacetime Causality which lets this be established is defined as a soul) meant for prolonged utilization (administration) of its celestial object, once it leaks onto the surface, it causes a system critical error.
That said, True Ancestors almost never enter this state.
The usual True Ancestor’s mind is worn down by having to suppress themselves, so when their body is destroyed, they do not have the mental strength (as it is abated) to recover
Luminaries have manifested in battles with ‘fallen True Ancestors’—those who have succumbed to their own vampiric urges—but in those cases the Luminaries did not emerge on as large a scale as Arcueid did.
“If thou wisheth to exterminate a True Ancestor, thou shalt first wear down its mind”
This is a teaching passed down among the Church. Just as this precept suggests, Executors do not assassinate True Ancestors from the shadows, but instead defeat them in prolonged all-out wars from head-on—or alternatively—push them into self-termination from a lack of magical energy (because if you kill them via a sneak attack, there’s a high chance they’ll turn into a Luminary).
— Concerning the actions of Luminary Arc
Her gigantic size alone makes her powerful, but her actions are not all that showy.
The same goes for when she caught Ciel:
- She slowly reaches out for the astonished Ciel. Ciel, feeling she is in a pinch, tries to move back, but her body is heavy.
- Though Ciel would normally be capable of easily dodging Arc’s hand, she only barely manages. She pushes her body to try to keep going and create some distance, but it doesn’t obey.
- Ciel then notices that just being inside of Arc’s zone of influence causes a litany of debuffs such as… The thinning of the air, the heating of the ground, and what’s more, gravity being kind of weird.
- However, even having noticed this, it’s far too late. Arc enjoys watching Ciel pathetically squirm as she tries to escape. At this point, Ciel is practically done for—sewn into space from being looked at by Arc.
- Ciel can do nothing but watch with despair on her face as Arcueid slowly lowers her hand onto her. Once caught, the spectacle of her dismemberment inside of Arc’s hand begins.
— The dangers brought on by the three zones of influence
Arc has three layers of consciousness in her Luminary model.
3: AMAZING—Extended Consciousness that goes beyond the Surface Consciousness into the outer world.
(AMAZING—with the meaning of ‘awe’—the fascination of the unknown born from amazement and wonder)
It starts from 300 meters outside the Luminary and extends for several kilometers.
Air turbulence originating from the inside of the Surface Consciousness (2) is let loose (spills out) onto the Extended Consciousness, almost like sharp blades.
The turmoil of the harsh winds, magnetic fields and more, mean that the closer one gets to Arcueid, the more dangerous it becomes. It is impossible for a human to enter the zone of influence of her Surface Consciousness (2) unless they’re in a tank.
Though this is already a dangerous state, physically speaking, the more one distances oneself from the Luminary, the less the danger becomes.
Luminary Arc is completely unaware of the lifeforms inside this Extended Consciousness.
Humans who challenge it are like Don Quixote, voluntarily challenging a dragon—voluntarily going off to die.
Here, the Luminary can be seen as a dome of light—or alternatively, as some kind of symbol.
2: AUDIENCE—Surface Consciousness that extends radially for 300 meters diagonally with the Luminary at its center.
(AUDIENCE—not with the meaning of ‘spectators’ or ‘onlookers’, but that of ‘being granted audience’)
Within the 300 meters of the Surface Consciousness, afforestation proceeds far more dramatically.
The Luminary goes from looking like ‘some light thing’ to a human-shaped titan.
The vegetation that covers the ground’s surface are the same primordial plants as known to mankind, but their size and resilience make them almost completely different—basically, they’re huge, almost 10 to 20 times larger than usual.
These clearly display just how tough the vegetation of the Earth was in the past.
No matter how weak and adapted to the current environment of life that nature of modernity may be, it doesn’t change how frightening this primeval (paleozoic) vegetation once was (before the Mesozoic and the Jurassic periods when the dinosaurs lived, there weren’t any plants that could bear flowers, so be careful to not add that).
It gives off the intimidating impression that primeval nature was far more powerful than human civilization is.
Within this zone of influence, the ground is covered in primeval vegetation, making travel by foot almost entirely impossible (though this does not apply to people who are superhuman).
The difference in atmospheric pressure between the ground and the sky (temperature gradients caused by the oxygen consumption of the gigantic vegetation) perturbs the airflow, creating a corridor of harsh wind from the intersection of up- and downdrafts.
Obstructed by the plants, it becomes impossible to move on land, while the air turbulence in the sky makes it impossible to fly particularly well.
And yet, under these kinds of conditions, the automatic counter-attacks performed by the standard rampaging Arc are carried out as well.
This is because once an enemy has entered the Surface Consciousness, they are obviously recognized as such—as an enemy.
If they then by some stroke of bad luck enter Arc’s view, they will be restrained by her Mystic Eyes, at which point they’re doomed.
The automatic counter-attacks become like invisible claws, either cutting the enemy into pieces, or blowing them up into the air like a leaf, toying with them until they die.
Thinking that it's impossible to survive in the sky, one stops on the ground, only to find there is no oxygen left (the gigantic vegetation is sucking all of it up).
As should be evident from all this, the Surface Consciousness is not an environment in which the current mankind could exist.
Luminary Arc takes not a single action, settling the matter simply by recognizing those who enter as her enemy—almost as if they were fruit flies, flying toward their own death.
1: SKINRAIL—Deep Unconsciousness that exists close (within 30 meters) to herself
(SKIN—with the meaning of the skin also being a railing, even if it’s close enough of a distance to touch with others)
In this zone of influence, the visual impairments coming from the turbulent airflow, the distortions of the Luminary’s energy, and so on, disappear, and the Luminary can be seen for real.
Unlike the revolving airflow hell that was the Surface Consciousness, here the atmosphere is stable, with the environment suited for life.
Once something enters this zone of influence, Luminary Arc will—though hesitantly—counter-attack.
Just by pointing her gaze towards them, she can invoke heat waves and gales that blow them away with an impact that’s almost like a hammer.
Luminary Arc herself almost never does things like punch or stomp though.
If they then stop moving after running out of energy, she’ll probably leave them be…
But if they happen to be an enemy she has an interest in, she’ll probably use her Atmospheric Manipulation to bring them up (into the air) before her eyes.
She went to the effort of stretching out her arms so ostentatiously in trying to terrify Ciel because—yes—Ciel was special.
As for Shiki, she stubbornly refused to ever touch him on her own, due to him having touched her—this pretend indifference is thought to have been a snide way for her to get back at him.
And now for some FAQs about the Luminary.
— Can you touch it?
Once it enters a stable state, the Luminary materializes—so yes, it has hit detection.
It feels both like hard stone and flowing water to the touch.
Also, Arc can will parts of it to rarefy, and when she does that, she can pass those through buildings and what-not.
— Since it's light, does that mean it’s hot?
It’s a bit hot, but not enough to get burned.
— How much reason is left in Luminary Arc?
Enough. She doesn’t feel like saying very much, but that doesn’t mean her reason is lost. It’s more that her True Ancestor supernaturality has gotten stronger.
She does talk, but not with her voice, instead sending orders directly to the other party’s brain (telepathy), meaning that her lips don’t move when she speaks.
— What does she look like to humans?
Depends on the situation and how far away they are.
First, when she’s emerging: it’s totally fine if she’s super scary here. I think something to the effect of the demonic terror found in the storyboard is fine.
Then, when she’s stabilized—around the time when she’s caught Ciel and is playing around with her:
When someone is distantly removed from the Luminary—300 meters or more outside her zone of influence—she only looks like light, while if they’re within the 300 meters of her zone of influence, she has a human shape. I think it'd be fine if one could see that there are eye-shaped holes (kind of like cavities) where her mouth, eyes, etc, are supposed to be.
When even closer to the Luminary—30 meters within Arc’s zone of influence—then the light being emitted looks more subdued, with her eyes and mouth (lips) shining with the brilliance of life. In fact, make her look even more beautiful than normal Arcueid.
This is like a perception manipulation effect that the Luminary has against intelligent beings.
Those who look on from afar will get the impression of something terrifyingly unknowable.
While those who have arrived close will get the impression of something beautifully unknowable.
Those who are far away are enemies who are to be killed without being shown the truth.
While those who are close by are allies who are to be given a glimpse of the truth—a truly spiritually divine (religiously speaking) mechanism.Archetype:Earth

[] Fate/EXTELLA material - Encyclopedia: Quantum Timelock [Concept][T] Spiritron record anchoring band[1].
A Quantum Timelock is a metaphysical event, it calculates the average “value” of each parallel world’s events, then locks past events down. A phenomenon that separates what was, and is, from what might be.
Our universe allows for countless possibilities and creates many parallels worlds and histories with different developments.
The universe has a finite amount of energy to spend maintaining each parallel world. Because the universe itself would expire if these realities were to expand without limit, it conserves energy by, excising worlds, at specific intervals, that have veered too far from the strongest, most stable timelines.
The Moon Cell has concluded that the universe we perceive of, which should be unstable, is being stabilized across the present, past, and future by this culling process and by quantum time locks.
The easiest way to visualize the process is to envision time as a giant tree, one that would grow indefinitely if left alone. The excision process is comparable to trimming the unneeded branches and leaving only the trunk of that tree.
History that becomes a part of the “time lock”2 will not change, even if it is affected by the past and future. The incidents that occur during a time lock will, in fact, never change, no matter what happens.
Even if one were to go back in time before the time lock to try and change history, once one reached the time lock, history would be forcefully restored to what was already registered there.
In a universe with quantum time locks, the outcome that is registered in an quantum time lock will not change. A time traveler can only alter the “process” by which it happens, but never the “result.”
For example, imagine that there was a war in Britain, and that the “result” that was locked in afterwards was that Britain was destroyed.
Even if you could manage to travel back in time and affect history so that Britain flourished, the war ended peacefully, and everyone had a happy ending… the moment that history reached the time lock, it would cause whatever “corrections” were necessary to ensure that, despite your efforts, Britain was still destroyed.
You might be able to change the lives of one, two, or perhaps even a handful of people, but you could not change the course of the vast river of human history.
That is the “Quantum Time Lock,” also known as the “Foundation of Human Order” in the world of magecraft.
On the other hand, it could be possible to deny human history from its foundations by destroying a quantum time lock through some great feat. But even with that method the most that could be done is deny human history beyond the destroyed quantum time lock.
The ones who can determine the next coming quantum time lock are those living in the era. Past and future intervention cannot affect the quantum time lock.
Archimedes’ goal in this game is to completely destroy the Moon Cell before the next quantum time lock, leading to a base world that would start from that precondition.
While it is normally not something that could happen, to do that Archimedes continued to shift across worlds.
If Archimedes were to completely shut down the Moon Cell before the setting of the next quantum time lock from his subjective perspective, he would achieve victory.
Although Archimedes emerges victorious on several occasions, he is not able to destroy the Moon Cell in any timeline.
While Archimedes was endeavoring to bring his plans to fruition, the Main Character was able to prove proved the route of a world that was average yet with the most potential to grow, and the quantum time lock was decided.
And just like that, Archimedes’ plans went up in smoke.
By the way, the timeline where the Main Character entered the titan’s cavern with Archimedes and was split into several pieces (right after the start of the main story of EXTELLA) is listed as “Quantum Time Lock A,” while the True Nero route ending is “Quantum Time Lock B.”
No matter what Archimedes does within this timeframe, the final “result” has already been determined.
[1]In the book, the term is printed as 霊子記録固定帯, however in-game (both Extella and FGO) 量子記録固定帯 is used. It is likely that 霊子 (spiritron) instead of 量子 (quantum) in the context of quantum timelock is a typo.霊子記録固定帯。
一定の間隔で事象の平均値を固定化するタイミングの事。
この宇宙は無数の可能性を許容し、多くの並行世界、違う展開の歴史を生み出している。
しかしそれを際限なく行うと宇宙の寿命が尽きてしまう為、一定のタイミングで“もっとも強く、安定性を持ったルート” から外れた特例の世界(ルート)を伐採し、エネルギーの無駄な消費を防いできた。
本来なら不安定な我々の認識宇宙を現在 過去 未来にわたり安定させているのはこの『伐採』と『記録带』によるものとムーンセルは結論づけている。
放っておけば無限に枝分かれしていく時間という大樹から不要な枝を伐採し、つねに「幹」だけにしていく行為───というのが一番分かりやすいイメージ。
固定帯となった歴史は過去 未来からの干渉をうけても不動のものとなるため、固定帯にある事象は何があっても変動しない。
仮に、「固定帯」より過去に移動して歴史を変動させようと、その「固定帯」に到達すれば歴史は強引に復元される。
霊子記録固定帯がある宇宙において、固定帯として登録された「結果」は決して変わらない。時間移動者に変革できるのはその「過程」だけとなる。
たとえば「ブリテンが滅んだ」という『結果』が固定された場合。
時間移動をして「ブリテンを繁栄させ、戦争を終結させ、誰もが幸福になった」という過程を成功させたとしても、歴史が固定帯に入った瞬間に「しかし、それでもブリテンは滅びた」という結果になる。
一人や二人、何人かの人生は救えるかしもれない。
しかし人類史という大きなうねりを変えることは決してできない。
これが霊子記録固定帯、魔術世界では『人理定礎』と呼ばれるもの。
逆に言えば、何らかの大偉業によってこの『霊子記録固定帯』を破壊できれば人類史を根底から否定する事が可能となるが、その方法でも「破壊した固定帯から先の人類史だけ」を否定するのが限界である。
次に訪れる『霊子記録固定帯』の決定ができるのは、その時代を生きた者たちだけである。
過去 未来からの介入では『霊子記録固定帯』に手を出せない。本作におけるアルキメデスの目的は次の霊子記録固定帯が訪れる前に『ムーンセルは壊れた』という結果を作り、その前提から始まる基本世界にすることだった。
それは本来なら起こりえない展開だが、それを起こすためにアルキメデスはシフトを繰り返した。
アルキメデスの主観において、次の霊子記録固定帯がかかる前にムーンセルを完全停止させてしまえば彼の勝利だった。
しかしアルキメデスが勝利する結未はいくつかあっても、ムーンセル完全停止のルートだけは辿り着けなかった。
そうしているうちにアルキメデスより先に「平均的かつ、今後もっとも広がりを持つ世界」のルートを主人公が証明し、霊子記録固定帯が決定。
アルキメデスの計画は水泡に帰した。
ちなみにエクステラ本編開始時、『主人公がアルキメデスと共に巨神の石室に入り、分割された』のが霊子記録固定帯Aである。
真ネロルートエンディングが霊子記録固定帯Bとなる。
もうこの間の時間においては、アルキメデスが何をどうしようと「結果」は決定したという訳だ。 - ↑

Angra Mainyu/CCC.
This is the anti-planetary Noble Phantasm Kiara gains after her reincarnation.
Angra Mainyu is the most self-serving heinous Noble Phantasm of them all where Kiara uses the world to masturbate.
Kiara offers her body in a sexual manner to all living things on Earth, including humans, animals, and plants. By completely accepting all people as is she gains the greatest possible mastery over their senses and carnality.
This Noble Phantasm is derided for being demonic and it’s similar to the living sacrifices used for certain artificial magic ceremonies used the past in order to prove the evil of humans.
It is a vortex of pleasure that melts all sentient beings, and digests their “life” in an instant. While in reality it all happens in an instant, but it feels like an eternity of pleasure.
Regardless of how different the structure of a beings intelligence may be, this vortex affects all without exception. It is not a Noble Phantasm that is limited to affect only those on Earth.
The damage increases if certain conditions are met.
If the target is of the opposite sex, the damage increases.
The more intelligent a being is, the more damage it does.
As far as the setting and lore are concerned, the Servant who would be hit with the least damage would be Archer, and Gilgamesh would be damaged the most.
The reason why this attack’s power, visuals, and scale are so huge is because reincarnated Kiara is a being similar to Saver.
People who devote their life to bringing salvation to Sattvas (living things) are referred to as Bodhisattvas. People who have attained moksha (libertation/release) and become Buddhas are also Bodhisattvas. A Bodhisattva is a god of universe scale and power, and can easily manage things on the scale of the Solar System.
Buddhism has a sense of scale of the universe that stands out from that of other religions. There are concepts like Nayuta (1060) and “The Infinitely Vast Number” (1068) which were created to represent the scale and size of a Buddha.
The entire universe is the domain of a Buddha. In Buddhism the universe in considered to be made up of three billion solar systems (a great trichiliocosm). A galaxy comprises of 3000 solar systems (a small trichiliocosm), and 1000 small trichiliocosms make up a trichiliocosm.
This actually aligns with the real scale of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and super clusters.
India had this stuff figured out over 2000 years ago? Holy crap!
In the initial design phase of the game I submitted some paperwork describing this Noble Phantasm. I thought there would be no way that this gets by CERO untouched, but surprisingly enough it did.
I still have no idea how this was able to make it past them.この世全ての欲【宝具】
アンリマユ/CCC。
変生したキアラの対星宝具。
地球で自慰行為にふける最低最悪の宝具。
地球に残ったあらゆる生き物───人間、動物、植物に自分の体を捧げ、これを受け入れる事で最大の官能を会得し、成長する権能。
その在り方は、かつて人間の悪性を証明すめために悪魔と罵られ、生け贅に祭り上げられたある人工魔に類似する。
この快楽の渦は知性あるものを融かし、その『人生』を一瞬で昇華させる。わずか一瞬の、しかし永遠の極楽浄土の誕生である。
この快楽の渦はどれほど知性構造が異なっていようと、知性あるものには例外なく作用する。地球限定の宝具ではない。
条件によってダメージ数値は向とし、異性であるならダメージ増加、知性が高いほどダメージ増加、という特性を持っている。
設定上の話なら、もっともダメージが低いのはアーチャー、逆に最高ダメージを受けるのがギルガメッシュの予定だった。
性能、演出、ともにスケールが大きいのはキアラがセイヴァーのサーヴァントに近い存在だから。
衆生(生きとし生けるもの)を救うために奔走する人をおしなべて菩薩と呼び、また、解脱して仏になったものも菩薩である。そして菩薩とは宇宙レベルの存在規模を持つ天であり、太陽系ぐらいは軽く管理している。
仏教の世界観の広大さは他の宗教とはレベルが違う。ナユタだの無量大数といった数の概念があるのは、ひとえに仏の大きさを示すために作られた物だ。
仏教において宇宙は仏の国であり、その広さも三千大千世界と呼ばれる。
銀河系が三千世界、それが千あつまったものが三千大世界、さらにそれが千あつまったものが三千大千世界。
まさに銀河、銀河団、超銀河団の尺度と言える。二千年以上も前からこの解釈を持ってるって、インドどんだけー。
開発初期、「ラスボスにはこういう事をやらせたいです」と字コンテを作りはしたものの、セロ的に通るはずがない、と諦めていたらあっさり通ってしまった。なんでこれが通ったのかはいま以て謎である。 - ↑ Fate/Grand Order material VIII - Kama's profile, translated by Konchew

The Einzbern family head who became the foundation of the Great Holy Grail over 200 years ago.
Just like Illya, she was not a proper human, but was instead a magic circuit born for the sole purpose of becoming the Great Holy Grail's core.
In fact, Illya, who was born from the union of a Justeaze-type homunculus and a foreign magus, could be considered her latest model.
As for Justeaze herself, she still exists within the center of the Great Holy Grail. The circuitry covering the surface of the crater in the cavern is actually her magic circuits, enlarged and multiplied.
These magic circuits, almost a kilometer in diameter, are microcosm of the universe created from a single human body.ユスティーツァ·リズライヒ·フォン·アインツベルン【人名】
