The World (世界, Sekai?) is used to refer to either the Earth, Gaia, or the collective unconsciousness of mankind, Alayashiki. There also exist the Reverse Side of the World and the Outside of the World.
The Ultimate Ones are vessels upon which the planet's will is manifested, and rather than being part of the Counter Force, they are essentially the planets themselves. Unlike most other celestial bodies in the Solar System, there is no clear Ultimate One for Earth. The creature closest to being the Ultimate One of Earth is Archetype Earth (Remake).
Another definition of "world" refers to a particular location or environment, much like its real-world definition. Differing from the concept of the Earth, a world can exist in a variety of shapes, such as "the world of the humans", the "Reverse Side of the World", "mental world", or "Underworld."[1][2] This article will deal with the former definition of "world".
History[]
- See also Timeline.
Genesis[]
The Earth was created 4.6 billion years before present day and was initially formed from molten magma and gas. Life did not emerge until the inhospitable planet cooled and settled. The infernal landscape of the Earth before genesis has become part of the genetic memories of all creatures on Earth, and humans drew from this imagery when they created the concept of Hell.
Age of Gods[]
The time period beginning with the genesis of the Earth 4.5 billion years ago until the beginning of the Common Era around 1 AD is referred to as the Age of Gods (神代, Jindai?), during which the world followed laws based not on physics but on Mystery.[3]
The DinosaurWPs lived on Earth for millions of years until their ageWP came to an end 65 million years ago, putting an end to the CretaceousWP period. The great extinction was caused by the impact of an asteroid in the Yucatán PeninsulaWP. Right before the asteroid hit, the atmosphere was characterized for its incredible Ether, which was much denser than the Isle of Britain. The density of Magical Energy was on par with a Reality Marble.[4]
The region of MesoamericaWP is known for having a very different mythology compared to the Gods of Uruk. Their Gods are not from the planet Earth. They are said to have come from the sky. When the asteroid collided with Earth, "something" that came with it survived and infected the plants. Eventually, it became a microscopic organism that changed the local animals into "Gods," and built that area's civilizations. The deities of Mesoamerica move from one Human to another. This ability would later allow them to come back to life in the A.D. era.[5][6]
The Age of Gods period is marked by a greater proliferation of Phantasmal Species and greater interaction between Gods and mortals. This is the age of heroes and mythology, when rules of mankind and the laws of the world were different right down to the very fundamental physics of reality itself, but this period ended many years ago. Even magecraft itself is described as being closer to Magic in this era and Medea's abilities reinforce this concept. The currently-revealed Second Age of Gods eventually transitioned into the Age of Man due to three major events.
Deterioration[]
Originally, Gods existed in physical form as manifestations of nature itself, and ruled the Earth and its civilizations. The Deterioration began with the invasion of Sefar in 12,000 BC.[7]
Sefar successfully burned to ash 80% of the planet’s surface,[8] not only killing most of the plants, animals or Humans,[7] but even the gods themselves.[7][9] The most notable including Amaterasu,[9][10] and the Twelve Machine Gods.[11] It wasn't until the six Great fairies forged the Holy Sword forged in the core of the planet,[12] that Sefar was finally beaten back.[7]
Although the Gods did survive, due to the damage done by Sefar, their influence and power declined whereas those of humanity grew. The Gods slowly began to lose their physical forms and eventually could only walk on the Earth by possessing compatible humans.
The Authority Potnia Theron embodying the power of all creation originated from a forgotten Goddess approximately around 6,000 BC (the Goddess of Çatalhöyük). It was inherited by the Earth Mother Goddesses; Tiamat, Cybele, Ishtar, Inanna, Anat, Ashtart, Gaia, Hera, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, Athena, etc.[13]
In 4,000 BC, the Twelve Olympians created Pandora.[14]
Separation[]
Realizing that if the weakening of the Gods were to continue, the Age of Gods itself would end, the Gods of Mesopotamia created Gilgamesh around 2,600 BC as the keystone to connect the Gods and humans. However, Gilgamesh unexpectedly rebelled against the Gods and encouraged the complete separation of the Gods and the humans. Due to this, the decline of the Gods was accelerated and the Gods lost their powers and became Divine Spirits, forced to exist likely in the Reverse Side of the World, only able to observe the Earth without directly interfering.[15]
In 1,000 BC, the Norse Pantheon came to an end during Ragnarök.[16] Later, around 900 BC, the demise of Solomon, the King of Magic, accelerated the decline of Mystery, five hundred years before the time of King Arthur.[17]
Trigger[]
In 700 BC, there was a certain Trigger that caused the end of the Age of Gods and the beginning of the next age. Further details are unknown.[18]
Karna and Arjuna's story is set somewhere around 5000 B.C. The text itself, however, was completed sometime between the 4th century B.C. and the 4th century A.D.[19]
Age of Fairies[]
Not much is known about the Age of Fairies (妖精の時代, Yōsei no Jidai?), but the Age of Fairies has ended.[20][21]
Age of Man[]
The specific period of Celt and Ulster legends are presumed to be from 100 BC to 100 AD. By 60 AD, the hero Cú Chulainn had already died decades ago.[22]
Around 0 AD, the Age of Gods ended entirely and the population of humanity grew explosively. Because the Earth obeys the law of the most prosperous species on its surface, the rules of the world were completely changed from one that mostly obeyed Mystery to one that mostly obeyed physics. The Phantasmal Species ceded the Earth's surface to humans and moved to the Reverse Side of the World, where Mystery still thrives.[20]
However, unlike on continents where countries are joined by land and thus the establishment of the laws of physics was swift, the Age of Gods lasted a little longer on islands; the more isolated from the mainland, the easier it was for Mystery to remain in those lands.[17][23] This included Britain, the "navel" of the planet,[17] which had its own Age in the form of the Age of Fairies, and Japan, whose Age of Gods outlasted Britain's.[23] In the Americas, the Mesoamerican Age of Gods ended with the fall of the Mayan civilization in 900 CE.[24]
The current age is identified as the Age of Man (人間の時代, Ningen no Jidai?), where Mysteries such as Magecraft are dwindling in favor of science. The Five Magics were born in this age.
Future[]
The future of the planet is undetermined, with many possible outcomes available depending on the conditions present in the parallel worlds. The Mana Depletion (魔力枯渇, Maryoku Kokatsu?) of the world of Fate/EXTRA is caused by the Aylesbury Valesti producing a pole shift that began the depletion of mana. The world of Tsuki no Sango experienced a similar pole shift and the decline of the human race rather than magecraft. The world of Notes died entirely, and humanity still occupied its corpse.
Gilgamesh saw a future where, following the wishes of the Çatalhöyük,[13] humanity outgrows the planet and reaches for the light millions of lightyears away.[25] Merlin saw a similar future, a new Age following the Age of Man called the Age of the Will (意思の時代, Ishi no Jidai?), where the planet will cease to rotate, after which humanity will live among the stars and those unable to live without a flesh and blood body will be left behind.[20] It is also Archetype Earth's wish for humans led by their forward way of thinking.[26]
Flat Escardos also made the cryptic declaration that all human lives are valuable "for jumping clear of the Earth", with his eyes somehow seeing a far-off destination, probably the same as Merlin and Gilgamesh.[27]
One possible future of the world is the Overcount 1999 (オーバーカウント1999?) phenomenon, the beginning of the decline of humanity. With the Earth's resources dying, the ability to live on the planet is gradually lost. The nucleus of the Earth, what can be said to be its soul, is hurt.[28] The cause is unknown, possibly the Aylesbury Valesti ritual, and the phenomenon is associated with the Land of Steel.
Fate/EXTRA[]
The world of Fate/EXTRA shares the same events as that of Fate/stay night up until a certain point until a "certain major incident" in the 1970s that caused the world's Mana to start drying up causes it to split off into its own separate universe. As of the 2030s, the world's Mana was completely gone. The cause of the phenomenon, the stagnation of human history, is said to be ■■■■■■.[29]
Fate/Grand Order[]
The future was previously established so that humans would prosper for the next century at the minimum, but that future has become unobservable in 2015 due to the appearance of the spacetime anomaly designated Singularity F. Using Grand Orders, the Chaldea Security Organization seeks to correct the Singularities and undo the Incineration of Human Order.
One year after the Chaldea Security Organization stopped the Incineration of Human Order and saved the planet, the world was once again attacked, this time by an Alien God claiming to be from outer space and with the help of the Crypters, the former members of Chaldea's elite Team A.
On December 31, 2017, the seven Fantasy Trees fell to the surface of the earth, creating across the world seven Lostbelts, alternate histories that had been pruned from Proper Human History. This act erased the surface Texture of the planet, creating a Wiped Blank Earth (白紙化地球?).[30] The branches of the Fantasy Trees became a membrane that covered the Earth, blocking the stars from view, and the planet is lifeless save from some rare areas that survived the blanking, including Area 51.[31]
Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA[]
The Parallel World of the Ainsworth family in Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA has experienced a shift in the axis of the world and the start of the depletion of its Magical Energy through a cause unknown to humans. This has brought on changes in the environment like abnormal weather and changes to the coastlines, such as Japan experiencing cold weather and snow during the summer. Plant life has declined, causing a decline in the animal life that feeds off the plants, and it has reached the human population as well. The process for the depletion of energy will take several hundred years, and the humans will not last more than ten generations before the world's destruction.[32]
While science will allow humans to prevail in the short term even with the miracles of the world vanishing, the rules of the world being rewritten make it a surety that humans will perish. "Dry spots" are beginning to appear around the world in places where the energy has been completely exhausted, and an unknown particle unlike Magical Energy is spreading through those areas. Acting as a poison to wipe out everything alive under the current rules of the planet, the current inhabitants cannot exist in the new world. The Ainsworths plan to use the Holy Grail, Miyu Edelfelt, to use the remaining energy on the planet to make humans into beings that can survive in a new world, similar to the A-Rays and Liners of Notes.[33]
In this age of "frozen silence", faith and religions such as the Holy Church are gone.[34]
Fate/Requiem[]
- Main article: "After" the Holy Grail War
The world of Fate/Requiem takes place in 2025, and 14 years beforehand was devastated by many Holy Grail Wars all occurring at once, also known as World War III. It is said that not a single nation was left unharmed by the fighting. Countless Drones were deployed during the war to the point that drones have become a horrible thing not to be talked about by the people who lived through it. In addition to the devastation on the surface, much of the world's sea life was also wiped out in the crossfire.
The conflict was resolved by Chitose Manazuru and her Servant Lucius Longinus, who obtained the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail created Mosaic City where survivors gathered, though much of the world beyond the city's borders is a wasteland and water levels have risen dramatically. Everybody who survived the war were given Holy Grails in their hearts, and the new generations born after had Grails within them from birth. Everybody has a Servant bound to them by fate, as well as Command Spells. Humans can no longer die of sickness or of old age, though are still able to be murdered. People can even use Command Spells to change the physical age of their bodies. As Servants have become commonplace and are living in Mosaic City alongside living people, Mystery is largely exposed and Magecraft is common knowledge, though like in the world before not everybody has the capacity to be a Magus.
Notes[]
- Main article: Land of Steel
Land of Steel (鋼の大地, Hagane no Daichi?, [over count 1999]) is the name of the world in the time of Notes. It is not the official name, but a nickname passed down by those who live on the dead planet. The land is no longer able to support life due to the continents being mostly cracked wastelands unable to properly allow for the growth of food, and the atmosphere, covered with gray and sepia clouds, is no longer suitable for animals. Despite these conditions, humanity has lived on by utilizing their developed civic technology.[35]
Due to their survival, the planet, not wishing to have beings live on past itself, made a final wish to the other planets to completely wipe out humanity. They responded by sending the Ultimate Ones, which ravage the Land of Steel in order to fulfill their purpose.
The world is filled with Grain (ジン, Jin?, "Gin", [grain "Ether"]) harmful and unpredictable space dust particles generated from the dead planet.[36] It is lethal to regular humans, who require special medication and machinery to process it, but it has had beneficial effects for A-Rays and Liners.
The energy transfer rate of the Grain scattered in atmosphere is incredibly high, and it resulted in a new level of warfare that was never before possible due to the A-Rays and Knight Arms making weapons of the old age useless.
The Cloud Sky (空が、昏い, Sora ga, Kurai?, The Sky, it's Dark), said to be a barrier created by the Six Sisters to repel the Ultimate Ones, is a thick layer of clouds that has hidden the sky since the Great War.[37] It covers the Blood Sky (空が、赤い, Sora ga, Akai?, The Sky, it's Red), which is completely red rather than blue. This resulted not from pollution, but from the blood of Type Pluto after its destruction in the atmosphere completely covering the sky.[38]
The main inhabitants after the death of the world were the A-rays and the surviving human race. They fought against each other in a conflict called The Great War (大戦, Taisen?, [Babel's Tale]) where the A-Rays, under the Six Sisters, wished to rule the world, while the humans fought to survive.[39]
Humanity, on the verge of defeat, eventually developed Liners and the Knights to help in their battles, but this did nothing more than further destroy the already dead planet. The war had no victor due to the sudden appearance of the Ultimate Ones, having arrived to fulfill their goal of wiping out all living beings. Both sides were nearly wiped out, and they started working together to fight against their combined threats. The Ultimate Ones slowed their activity after the end of the war, but still continue to slowly wipe out the remaining humans. Type Jupiter, Type Venus, and Type Saturn have all been destroyed, which has led for a call to the planets to initiate a final battle with the humans.
Tsuki no Sango[]
The World of Tsuki no Sango takes place in approximately the year 3000, when humankind arrived at the peak of its civilization, but is losing its will to keep living.
The Lunar Immigration Plan was one of the strategies they came up with to deal with an overpopulation crisis. It succeeded, but then a great disaster struck: humanity lost its "heart's fire". The desire for growing, expanding or excitement for invention. With this, the Moon's humans decided to abandon the Earth's humans. After 50 years of that tragedy, the Earth and Moon sealed their doors to each other, becoming entirely independent of each other.
Apparently, some decades later the light of the Moon disappeared and at the same time, humanity’s population on Earth also dramatically declined. The motive was simple: no one felt like propagating the species anymore. After these fifty years, humanity was to be extinct, if not for a group that still "keep trying".
Tsuki no Sango is "a degenerated world where Magecraft yet lingers". Like the world of Notes, it is a Land of Steel type of world.[40] Like the world of EXTRA, it also experienced a pole shift.

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.

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/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 53.2: "Original Name"

[] Fate/EXTRA CCC - Gilgamesh Secret Garden Profile
Name: Gilgamesh (I am the absolute first king. The king of heroes among heroes. As such, that is what you should call me.)
Height: (If I must say, then) 182 cm (What? More normal than you expected? Fool! Are you telling me to become a meat puppet!?)
Weight: (Again, if I must say, then) 68 kg (approximately. Just so you know, there is no excess flesh. Again, since I was born, there has been no time when this body gained excess weight. It has been of use, mongrel.)
3 Sizes: B94/W73/H93 (A golden body is befitting the golden king. It is far too beautiful for your eyes, but if you desire me to cast off, bring forth a command seal.)
Home: (Let's see. If I were to answer as a human, then it would be my capital,) Uruk
Birthday: Unknown (The beginning or end of the land, choose whichever you prefer.)
Weak Point: Do not ask of what you already know. (It is obvious that my weakness is that I have no faults.)
Fetishism: (Let's see..) That their molding be beautiful is natural, there is no need to speak of it. (That which appeals to my heart is the sound of a heart breaking, and when beautiful objects are washed away, that even more beautiful drop of liquid. When you lick it, it is sweet.)
What do you seek from your partner?
............ (That answer is one you should search for yourself.)
Favorite underwear color?
(You, are you now an incorrigible fool?) What is there besides gold!!!
How do you spend your free time?
Pleasure trips. (No matter what kind of age it is, I cannot cease wandering around the land. Well, I did sleep until I returned to level one though.)
Lynchpin of Heaven
That which exemplifies Gilgamesh's way of life. That which expresses how the gods of ancient times lived and his birthplace.
In history, the gods of the universe are split into two categories. When things that were already there become gods, and when things are reborn as gods.
Things that were already there are when things such as heavenly bodies, like the sun and moon, or natural phenomena, like storms or earthquakes, become the objects of worship.
Things that are reborn as gods is when they were human in the beginning, but due to various factors, they deviated from being human and became the objects of worship. Heroes and messiahs and systems necessary to thrive fall under this category.
The gods of Mesopotamia are of the former category. Natural phenomena possess intentions and personalities and reigned as the laws of heaven. That which those gods sent out in order to remonstrate the people of the earth was Gilgamesh.
The lynchpin of heaven. The king who was brought forth by the hands of the gods in order to secure the the surface which was leaving the age of the gods.
However, he did not fulfill that role. Considering his own desires first, controlling his kingdom as a person, he rejected how the gods lived as something from a past age.
"I will obey the gods. And respect them. However, be destroyed. On the occasion that you brought me forth, you lost your positions by your own actions."
Thus, ancient Uruk began, and the king who parted ways from the gods was born. The King of Heroes, Gilgamesh. The king that was desired as a lynchpin, in truth, became the tip of the spear that put an end to the old age.
Chains of Heaven
That which exemplifies Gilgamesh's childhood. It expresses his battle with the friend that was his equal and their adventures.
The one and only tale of a merit that will not change for all eternity in the world.
Poison of Death
That which exemplifies Gilgamesh's youth. It expresses his pursuit of perpetual youth and eternal life and its circumstances.
Thus, that childhood time of his came to an end. The tyrant with neither blood nor tears.
The hero who enjoyed himself, mastering every treasure, every pleasure.
The king with the conviction to treat good and evil equally. As the absolute basis is "himself," there is no need for other ideologies and ways of life. Though on the point of vaingloriousness, he is the same as the Macedonian King of Conquerors, but the largest difference between the King of Heroes and the King of Conquerors is the point of "not needing retainers."
This hero, from the beginning to the end dictated only "himself." His loves are treasures, tools; people were only things that would disappear.
...Even if he recognizes how much it deserves to be loved.
Considering the theme of "CCC," it's impossible to avoid questions regarding women. This is a digression, but Gilgamesh's preferred type is "a noble maiden (virgin)". (It seems that "a flower that blooms in the plain" was his type during his childhood.) It seems he hates women who, while relying on men, have using men as their interior face. - ↑ Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century - Section 3: Lord of Creation (Beginning)

[] MOONLIGHT/LOSTROOM material - Encyclopedia: Wiped Blank Earth [Other], p.13 Wiped Blank Earth [Other]
The Earth after 2018, which Fujimaru Ritsuka had a glimpse of in the Lostroom.
The Earth whose ground’s surface Texture has been pruned by the appearance of the Lostbelts.
A “brand new shell of a planet” where the surface nature and traces of civilization have been lost. Where the pruned Texture (human history) has vanished to is unknown. The branches of the Trees of Emptiness that grew from the surface of the earth became a membrane that covered the Earth, creating a huge curtain at the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere, the tropopause. Although electromagnetic waves can be transmitted, substances cannot pass through this tent and terrestrial humanity has been trapped. It is conjectured that the original human history will not be returned as long as the seven Lostbelts aren’t cut off.
It became a lifeless planet apart from the Lostbelts, but there seems to be some rare areas, buildings and lives that were “left behind from the blanking” during the blanking process.
The blanking was conducted on December 31, 2017. The invasion of Trees of Emptiness began from space, and seven Trees of Emptiness fell on the surface of the earth, creating seven Lostbelts. The land of true history disappeared, and the Lostbelts were protected by storm walls. Then, after some time lag, the surface of the earth was blanked all at once. The blanking is considered to have spread radially from each Lostbelt.白紙化地球【そのほか】
ロストルームにて、藤丸立香が垣間見た二〇一八年以降の地球。
異聞帯の出現によって地表のテクスチャーを削ぎ落とされた地球。
地表の自然も、文明の跡も失われた『まっさらな惑星の殻』。削ぎ落とされたテクスチャー(人類史)が何処に消失したかは不明。地表から生えた空想樹の枝は地球を覆う膜となり、対流圏と成層圏の境界、対流圏界面に巨大な天幕を作ってしまった。電磁波は透過するものの、物質はこの天幕を越えられず地球人類は閉じ込められたカタチになっている。七つの異聞帯を切除しないかぎり、元の人類史には戻らないと推測されている。
異聞帯以外では生命のない惑星となったが、白紙化の際、まれに『白紙化に取り残された』地域、建物、生命があるようだ。
白紙化が行われたのは二〇一七年十二月三十一日。宇宙から空想樹の侵略が始まり、地表に七つの空想樹が落ち、七つの異聞帯が発生。正史であった土地は消失し、異聞帯は嵐の壁によって守られた。その後、若干のタイムラグの後、一斉に地球表面が白紙化された。白紙化は各異聞帯から放射線状に広がったものと考えられる。 - ↑ Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Anastasia: Permafrost Empire - Prologue

[] Notes - Land of Steel [over count 1999] Land of Steel [over count 1999]
A planet that died. A globe that reached its end. A world where living things can't live.
The name of the world in the present time. It's not its official name, but a nick name passed down between the people who live in the corrupted land. Like the name Land of Steel indicates, a large part of the continent are now wild lands that are torn apart, covered by a tainted gray colored cloud.
Food can't be grown, and the atmosphere is no longer suited for the animals.
To put it in a human species way, a drastic end of a century. But even after the mother planet died, the humans were able to live on with its developed civil technology.
Even the planet's end where people once imagined, couldn't bring an end to mankind.鋼の大地 [over count 1999]
臨終した星。死に絶えた惑星。生物の住めない世界。
現在の世界の名称。正式名称ではなく、荒廃した大地に生きるヒト人の間に伝わった俗称。
鋼の大地の記名が示すとおり、現在の大陸の大部分はひび割れた荒野であり、灰色と白濁とした雲に覆われている。
食物は育つことはなく、大気はかつてのように動物に適した物ではなくなっている。

Space dust. Name given to all the harmful and unpredictable particles generated from the planet that lost its function. Although it is harmful to humans, sometimes it gives an unique effect to their body, and some call it Ether. The Hundred A-rays, Human Species, Knights, are all new species created by this Gin. The energy transfer rate of the Gin scattered in atmosphere is incredible, and it resulted in a new level of warfare that was never possible on this planet.
With A-rays who can take in Gin into their body and Demonic Swords crystallized by Gin, all the weapons of the old age became useless.ジン [grain "Ether"]

The Sky in this world. Above the gray sea of clouds, there is not a blue, but a red sky.
It's not because of a pollution, but from the blood of one of the Aristoteles that appeared near the end of the Great War, Type-Pluto.
In order to not let Pluto enter the planet's atmosphere, the Six Sisters fought it and killed each other at the same time, and its blood covered the whole planet as a result. The gray cloud is said to be a shield that the Six Sisters placed.
