I woke up to find my room in utter chaos. It seems the Auto-Guard function made this place a mess. There were traces of damage everywhere, indicating I might have used the Camael Sword to fight. I performed a restoration, and the room returned to its original state. Then, I went to take a bath. My bathroom was filled with unreadable scribbles I didn't care about, so I cleaned it and bathed leisurely.
Using Reality Manipulation, I found out that some Servants had done some Night Sneaking—they entered my room without permission. What was even more surprising was that Da Vinci planned it all. It seems she wasn't happy about being pranked earlier, and now she wanted revenge.
When they stepped in, the Camael Sword immediately attacked them. The fact that my room turned into a World War II battlefield was truly astonishing; Noble Phantasms and various types of attacks were launched directly at me, who was supposedly defenseless. However, they were utterly defeated despite their buffs. No one could beat me in a one-on-one fight, even an entire army wouldn't be enough.
"What are you doing?!" Olga arrived and scolded them for damaging the facilities. I am an important member of the Foundation, and anything happening to me is considered to accelerate humanity's downfall. Olga was stricter than any corporate boss, perhaps because she almost lost me due to the Servants' behavior.
Even so, I just laughed and enjoyed the show. Suddenly, a Singularity appeared. I checked the schedule, and it was just a Minor Singularity for the Lunar Year. Since it was indeed the Lunar Year, I naturally took the opportunity to enjoy the celebration, and after clearing the Singularity, I got a list of materials.
I went to the command room, where Olga was not in the mood for jokes because she was annoyed that the Minor Singularity material drops were being used to fix the foundation building; she was on the verge of punching someone. After a brief briefing to Mash and me, we left before Olga's mood reached its peak, or she might have been in her period, let's assume the worst.
After finishing the Lunar Event and other things, I did what a Master should do: bonding, doing interludes in previous Singularities, and other things. As it took less than a week, the Third Singularity arrived. We headed to the Pod. Mash, Fou, and I arrived on a pirate ship.
"Intruders!" We fought for a bit, but I easily defeated them. However, Mash seemed unenthusiastic and didn't speak to me at all.
After Mash interrogated them and explained the situation, I surveyed the entire Singularity and began assessing the situation. I commanded them to go to Pirate Island following my directions. I thought this ship would be perfect to become the Flying Dutchman, but I didn't dwell on that, and we headed to Pirate Island. We started talking about Sir Francis Drake, and Mash lazily explained her history while I just listened casually.
After the story ended, we were taken to meet a heavily drunk Drake. She challenged us to a duel. I picked up a Pirate Sword, while Mash refused to help me. I'll correct her later. I used Destreza and swiftly ended the battle. Drake was satisfied with my ability as a Master, and then we continued the Singularity as usual. To speed up the Singularity, we recruited Asterios and Euryale, then searched for Artemis and Orion. After obtaining them, we faced Blackbeard. I used Keen Observation to expose Hector's intentions, and he immediately fled after his reasons were revealed.
I checked two Grails—one from Poseidon and one from a Demon.
"Master, here," Blackbeard threw the Demon's Grail to me.
"Thank you, Teach."
"Don't worry, Master. I know this Grail shouldn't fall into the wrong hands. Maybe it's useful for you, but can you give me huge material compensation?" I knew what he wanted. He was a man who understood the culture of "Thirsty Fate players"—a maniac! The hungry desire of a man, the power of a pervert, fueled by hope, and I could use this for the next sin of Lust.
"Teach, let's talk," I said. We sat on the deck and started talking about women, gravure, anything about perverted things—pornography, sex, and all disgusting things. I kept recording because learning from a pervert is better; they never fear expressing their feelings in their own way, and I can learn their actions and intentions from here. The outward appearance might just be a mask, but inside lies a gem—a different perspective on pleasure that can be used in Greed and Lust. Pleasure is about gaining something, and lust is about seeing something.
Our conversation circled to the point where we started sharing sex jokes, sex stories, and disgusting sexual scenarios. Like shameless individuals, Blackbeard was at the peak of his excitement because I was on the same wavelength as him.
Suddenly, Orion joined after hearing our conversation, which had turned into a chat between lovers of women. We began to adore every woman, while I continued to record their conversations, analyze their hearts, and conclude information for my reference on pleasure. Some sought a woman's embrace, while others dreamed of imaginary women. And finally, we concluded on one thing: Jalter is the ideal. She is the best girl, and I don't deny that. She is the dream girl who can burn your life just because of a small difference of opinion with her.
Our conversation, which was initially just a light discussion, turned into thorough embarrassment. Some men listened to this conversation seriously, while the women felt ashamed, enraged, and annoyed because I seemed to have been influenced by the perverted minds of these two Servants. Artemis pulled Orion away, and Anne & Mary dragged Blackbeard away, while I just laughed. In the end, even a pervert has at least one or two people who care about their well-being.
What I liked most about this situation was the reference I could use. I could utilize it for dating simulations, trial and error, because after all, this is also part of a Singularity, like Valentine's and others.
"Scum," Mash said with a look of disgust, but I didn't respond because my purpose transcended her understanding.
However, now the next problem is how to face Jason. I needed to make some preparations, so we decided to recruit Atalanta and David. When meeting David, I talked about the Ark of the Covenant he possessed, while I just recorded the conversation. After that, we immediately faced Jason as a Demon Apostle.
On the ship's deck, I learned a bit about desire and longing, while reading books and other materials.
"Scum," Mash said again, this time right beside me, but I still ignored her.
"Pervert Senpai, scumbag, depraved," she taunted again, and I continued to ignore her. Mash started getting annoyed because I kept ignoring her, and suddenly she threw an ultimatum.
"No wonder Senpai is still single, and in fact, Senpai is an angel of perverts!"
I stopped reading and looked at Mash gently. She wasn't afraid of me, but from my eyes, she could see that I wasn't joking.
"Mash, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm not wrong, you are!"
"How am I wrong?"
"Everything about you is wrong!" And she scolded me like a girlfriend catching her lover cheating. I just stayed silent and observed, learning about Greed—the desire to possess something. Mash wants me with her for life; that is her obsession. I learned about Greed from her, a deep obsession.
After she finished venting her feelings, although the others waited for my reaction, I didn't care if this was the right answer or not. I would remain honest and simple.
"I miss the old Mash, rather than this rebellious one."
"..." Mash immediately fell silent, while I walked away. I didn't want to be soft and express my feelings now. Mash has been too meddlesome lately, seeming to pay more attention to my actions than understanding my true desires.
After we completed the Singularity by defeating Jason and the Argonauts under solid command, no weaknesses appeared. I also took some interesting steps in evaluating the strength of the Servants I assigned. Although this Singularity wasn't a big deal, at least Jason and the Demon were successfully defeated by me.
After returning from Rayshift, I immediately headed to my room. I opened a tear in reality to enter directly, and although Mash tried to call me, I had already closed the portal before she could say anything. My focus now is to clear the Singularities quickly.
After compiling the report and counting the material and Grail income, I went to the summoning room. There, I summoned back some Servants from the previous Singularities, and surprisingly, our relationship was much better now compared to when they were under the control of other Masters.

"Director, can I take some leave?"
"Leave?" Olga asked in disbelief.
"Yes, just a few days."
"Where to?"
"Eden."
"Where is that?"
"Eden, the Heaven of Angels and the place of God's Promise," I answered truthfully. Olga looked at me with a tired gaze, seemingly not wanting to prolong the argument.
"Alright. Unpaid leave."
"Understood," I nodded, then without delay, I summoned the Garden of Eden directly above Chaldea. The majesty of the gates of heaven was unparalleled, surpassing all forms of earthly beauty. Clear, divine clouds shone with the light of God, and from every corner, melodious angelic chants echoed.
The Gates of Heaven were so vast, they even obscured the sun. When they opened, Ophanim, Cherubim, Seraphim, and all other heavenly beings appeared—including Archangels, Angels, Dominions, and Principalities, who are the inhabitants of Eden.
"Valtor," their voices resonated, simultaneous and harmonious, more beautiful than anything comparable.
"I need to meet with God and Satan directly; there's something to discuss."
"Come," they replied in unison. I used my Seraphim wings—though not as large, bright, and holy as their true ones. We flew through the gates of heaven, and moments later, the gates vanished from reality.
After all the Servants felt their Master-Servant connection completely severed, I stood face-to-face with God.
"God, I believe I made a mistake in my interactions in FGO," I said honestly, and God responded calmly.
"That is indeed the natural trait of the Sin of Envy. Your purpose is to make others envious of your special attributes and resentful because you treated their selfishness poorly. They hoped you would fulfill it and wanted you to continue fulfilling it. If you believe your actions were a mistake, how about you think deeper about it? Mash's desire is indeed selfish because she wants to spend more time with you, both as a Servant and as a human for the rest of her life. She also wants you to provide more beautiful memories in every adventure in the Singularity. However, the main point is..." God paused, looking at me with a curious gaze.
"She desperately wants to be the best for me."
"You have discovered it. She failed to keep your bloodline a secret. Because of her leak, everything was ruined, and now the enemy knows your angelic nature due to her mistake. With the devil as a distraction, and the angel as your ace that has been revealed, it's now time for you to play a Full House." I fell silent, thinking about the card values.
If the Ace is angelic power, then the King is demonic. But I must have the Queen and the Jack. The Queen is, of course, the dragon, and the Jack is Void or Force, which I can infer to be Cosmic Force or Natural Force.
"I understand. I need to awaken my dragon power, my demonic power, and my Void Force... but there's something else I want to ask," I tried to calm myself and convey my desires.
"God, I want to change the Summon Genesis skill for seven Archangels to twelve Archangels. Then, I want the four free rewards from the previous quest to be changed into four new Archangel abilities. For the last request, I want to have a complete set of twelve Archangel skills. Then, for the next three requests, I want Seraphim, Cherubim, and Ophanim skills. For the next Grail, Satan, I want to know about Nightmare Trigger, infuse me with that power by exchanging Draconification. Then, I want you to specifically change its description. For the very last Grail, I want to keep it."
"Then wait, if you wish."
[ Save Data Unplugged ]
"Thank you." I waited in Heaven, interacting and catching up with the Angels. Then, I went to Hell to undergo torment as penance for sins and to train in combat again. This time, I wanted to develop my Environmental Advantage skills.
I continued to enjoy my battles with the Demons, then rested in Hell, observing all forms of torture devices there. I took some examples to create Omega Sanction Torment.
After gathering enough references, I returned to Heaven for purification and to chat with the angels. Honestly, they are the ones who make me enjoy talking and conversing so much; their habit of always discussing interesting topics in every conversation has made me skilled at initiating dialogue.
Now, the big question is, my scenario completion is taking a very long time, but I'm grateful I can enjoy my time in Grand Order. It's just that the Daily Life Aspect there can't be fully developed because I'm focused on scenario completion.
"Valtor." God called me, and I immediately faced Him without delay.
"Yes?" God handed me a Save Data prompt, and I accepted it.
I was utterly surprised to see the sheer number of skills, and I was grateful to receive them.
[ Summon Genesis Obtained ]
[ Save Data Changed for this scenario only ]
[ Showing new Archangel Ability ]
Barachiel
God Lightning: As the Archangel of Lightning, Barachiel has imbued you with his divine power. You possess absolute control over lightning and electricity, enhanced with godly authority. You can create, shape, and manipulate electricity—an energy form born from the movement of charged particles such as electrons or protons—allowing control over electric fields, charge carriers like ions, electrons, protons, positrons, and even electronics. You can summon thunderstorms on a universal scale with minimal effort, and this lightning is not ordinary—it can reduce creation to nothingness. When manifesting, especially in moments of anger, this lightning strikes fear, terror, and unease into all of creation. In its simplest sense, anything caught in its presence is rendered powerless before you.
God Familiar: Barachiel, as the patron of family and married life, grants you the ability of Guardianship, particularly for those who regard you as family or share a marital bond with you. You deeply care for and are extremely protective of them, being passively aware of their physical, mental, and spiritual needs or ailments without it becoming a burden. Additionally, you excel in all forms of guardianship, whether in combat, at home, or in companionship, making you the "best" guardian anyone could ask for. In matters of marriage, your experience ensures that you are the ideal husband—whether to a wife, concubines, or harem members—providing your family with the greatest care and love. You serve as a father figure and family head, fulfilling your duties physically, mentally, spiritually, and educationally with unparalleled devotion.
Metatron
God Crown: This special ability, granted by Metatron, imbues you with the voice of God, enabling you to comprehend the "voice" of all existence, even things that do not physically exist. In essence, you can understand the desires, wishes, wills, and expressions of others, even if they try to conceal them. As the Chancellor of Heaven, you hold the rare ability to converse directly with God across any world you inhabit, as though having a quick chat, free from any ritual or requirement. Moreover, this crown grants you the authority to serve as God's vessel, fully manifesting Him in the world through your body. It also symbolizes your status as the King of Angels, giving you command over all the angels in Heaven when needed.
God Presence: From Metatron's twin sibling, Sandalphon, you receive the unique power of Size Alteration, allowing you to expand any physical condition, object, or target infinitely, with no limit to the size or scope. As you expand, the attributes of the expanded subject also grow proportionately. Additionally, Sandalphon blesses you with the ability to summon a heavenly musical accompaniment—a choir of Seraphim that sings whenever you activate Angelic abilities, skills, or combat techniques. This choir serves as a declaration of angelic might, echoing through the realms.
Raziel
Angel Magic: As the Keeper of Magic, Raziel imbues your magic with angelic essence, making it closer to a miracle—purer and more powerful than ordinary magic. Whenever you cast a spell, Raziel passively enhances it with Aether or angelic power, increasing its potency and capabilities. When experimenting with new spells or trying to replicate existing ones, Raziel boosts the magic beyond its original limits. As you harness different types of magical or supernatural energies, Raziel purifies them, empowering you with infinite control over these resources.
Angel Alchemy: Raziel gifts you the Angel Alchemy Almanac, which contains infinite transmutation possibilities. This almanac allows you to create anything you desire, transmuting reality and the supernatural. It provides both the materials and the detailed steps needed to craft items, ensuring that the results are always superior to those in the universe. Each time you repeat the process, Raziel buffs the item, increasing its quality and rarity by 50%, allowing for endless upgrades to achieve your desired result.
Helel
God Flame: Helel, also known as Lucifer Morningstar, grants you the power of the Morningstar—a flame imperishable, imbued with the divine force of God. This primordial, holy flame was used by God to shape creation itself and can harm anything in existence. It was also the flame used to create Adam and Eve from mud, possessing the power to give life and shape souls. When activated, the Morningstar flame takes on a distinct form, passively manifesting whenever you use Angelic abilities. It is highly effective against anything created from light, fire, or heat, even capable of harming Angels, Divine Beings, and Chaos itself. This flame represents the true power of God, aside from the Unity of Solaris, which condenses this flame.
God Brightest: By nature of Helel, you possess the attribute of Lucifer, being the Brightest among creation. This grants you superiority in everything you undertake, making you the wisest in all knowledge and the greatest in combat, with no equal except God and Satan. You are the most beautiful angel in creation, and nothing can surpass you. This attribute also passively enhances your other Angelic abilities, allowing them to evolve and grow stronger, even without active use. This passive ability is triggered by your absolute confidence, reflecting in your actions regardless of consequences. Your habit of reading grants you insight into the flaws of creation and the knowledge to improve them, even if it means bending the laws of reality.
Fallen: "Fallen" is a special title unique to Helel, granting you the ability to kill any god, deity, or being claiming omnipotence. When you confront them, you can turn reality into the bright red of Hell, enacting the Wrath of God. All gods will lose their powers, abilities, and authority instantly, and even omnipotent forces will vanish before you, as you are the anti-thesis of their existence. Not only can you slay gods, but you can also become the Overlord of Hell's legions, including its lords and kings. Your mere presence can intimidate even the most powerful beings, rendering them powerless before your might.
Samael
Incarnation of Human: Your last name, Ismael, is derived from Samael, the Last Archangel who rose to Seraphim as God's favored. Though historically considered banished from Heaven, in reality, you roam freely across worlds, able to take on human form at will. You are free to consult with God or Satan as needed, access Heaven for rest, and visit Hell when you feel the need to atone for your sins. This freedom allows you to do as you please, moving between realms without restriction.
Satan and God: This unique ability allows you to take on the roles of both God and Satan, as permitted by them. In specific worlds, you can embody either a God or Demon deity as your birthright, with other gods and demons accepting you as one of their own. However, you are far more powerful than all of them combined.
"I don't know what to say but thank you, I can see the list of Seraphim, Cherubim, and Ophanim skills. Perhaps it would be better if I used my Last Wish." I sighed, then wished earnestly.
"I wish to use my two last wishes to give God and Satan my utmost gratitude. For the last one, I want to use it as Skill Essence, where every Crack skill I've obtained will go to this Skill Essence, then will be synthesized directly into my Nightmare Trigger. I think it needs an upgrade." I prostrated myself before God to show my sincerity.
"Granted," God answered, and I felt my burden reduced.
"I see, upgrading Nightmare Trigger. Perhaps summoned Apocalypse is the anti-thesis to genesis. Perhaps you can use that, Summon Infernus." "Summon Infernus"? That's actually a good name.
"Thank you for the input."
"Not a problem. Hurry, you should return to Fate because you've been missing for 4 months." My eyes widened upon hearing that, as the Halloween event would be in about 4 months, just before the London Singularity. I had to log in immediately.
"Thank you!"
"Your Quest and Task."
Devil Quest
D: Clear 1 Singularity with 4 Summoned Servants. The summoned Servants can increase upon new Singularity completion and instantly update. This Quest can be completed until you finish the Main Scenario Clear Condition.
Reward:Summon Genesis and Summon Infernus.
God Task
3: Complete All Main Singularities, Minor Singularities, Remnant Singularities.
Reward:God Skill.
"Thank you!"
"Wait." I stopped and looked at the prompt.
(Descend) Appear divinely.
(Manifest) Appear epically.
(Appear) Appear normally.
I, of course, chose the first option.
Meanwhile, at Chaldea, my departure had left a very deep impression, especially on Mash, who grew to hate herself even more because of her previous words. She thought the reason I left Chaldea was because I was fed up with her behavior.
"Senpai," Mash curled up on her bed, refusing to eat or interact with outsiders, believing she was the cause of my departure.
Then, the corridor speaker blared, audible throughout Chaldea. "Attention, attention. All Servants and Staff are requested to gather in the simulation room." Everyone heard it, but due to Olga's command, they had no choice but to gather. Mash was utterly gloomy, without any enthusiasm to assemble.
Olga, Romani, and Da Vinci stood at the podium to deliver two pieces of good news and two pieces of bad news.
"Please understand. The good news I have is, thanks to the Pure Greater Grails given by Valtor, you can be self-independent without a Master, though we had to use 20 of those Grails. Also, we successfully revived Masters who died in the previous incident; they might become substitute Masters for—" Olga stopped speaking as she saw everyone's focus shift to her side. When Olga turned, she saw a Sirius star.
This Morningstar transformed into me, clad in a Genesis outfit from Elsword. Immediately, silence descended, as if time had stopped. My face, a gift from Jophiel, the Angel of Beauty, and the grace from Helel, the Bringer of Light, was a manifestation of immeasurable beauty. Not just physical, this beauty adhered to my soul and the essence of my being, transcending the boundaries of existing universes and dimensions. This beauty was more than mere charm; it was a higher form of beauty than supernatural, surpassing the concept of absolute itself.
No one, no matter their world's beauty standards, could resist or ignore this beauty. My face was the pinnacle of what is called pure and boundless beauty, a miracle that exists in no world or dimension. Those who saw me could not help but feel awe, mesmerized, or even tremble by the aura I carried.
An unparalleled charm, standing out more prominently than anyone else before humanity and celestial beings. Even in silence, my presence brought profound tranquility, calming troubled hearts and fostering a sense of peace among those near me. No one could resist the urge to feel serene in my presence.
However, more than just beauty, I was the brightest among all creations, under the attribute of Helel, carrying the legacy of Lucifer that made me supreme in all aspects. My power was immense, further enhanced by the strength of Seraphim, Cherubim, and Ophanim, boosted even more by Helel God Brightest, making my power progressively stronger each moment.
(Introduce) Sorry, a little bit late. My Name is Valtor Ismael, Candidate Master number 48, Chaldea Organization.
(Use Angel Smile) Apologies for the sudden disappearance. I needed to go home to rest. I hope there was nothing wrong while I was away.
(Silent) No comment, walk beside Mash.
A very good choice; I naturally chose option number 2 because it would be useful. I waited for their response. There was none. I took out my memo book, wrote in it, then analyzed their reactions to Envy, along with the fluctuation of their heartbeats, rapid emotion changes, and the seduction effect from them. After writing enough, I put it in my pocket and walked beside Mash to analyze the changes that had occurred.
"There are other Masters here. Hmmm... some are decent, some are not, some have a good foundation in magic potency. Are you sure you're not properly filtering their capabilities as candidates?" I knew I sounded audacious, challenging Olga's proposal, but what could I do? I'm also a bit greedy when it comes to monopolizing Servants. If Olga isn't an issue, as she's the Director, essentially my boss, I have colleagues in the same division who are equally troublesome and just a burden, a waste of time. Crypters aren't a problem, but another Master who becomes a burden is slowing down my progression and inflicting envy on others.
"I... where have you been?"
"To Eden, for a consultation with God and a bit of atonement for mistakes I felt remorseful about. I didn't realize that 4 trillion years in Hell and Heaven would translate to 4 months here. I thought it was incredibly fast, and I apologize for that."
".....Why are you different?"
"I gained Seraphim, Cherubim, Ophanim, and 12 Archangel abilities, but it's actually 15 Archangels because 3 of them are the same being with different roles, akin to Greek and Roman gods. Some of the Archangel abilities are passively active, so I can't deactivate them even if I force it; this beauty is one of them. As for the others, I can't spoil you because, once you see it, you can't unsee it. Anything else? Because I see the other Masters seem excited to receive their new Servants or summon one."
"Don't get distracted with other Masters..... The source of this situation is you. Now, how do you solve this matter?" I thought for a moment. I smiled, using Zafkiel. A giant, ancient clock appeared behind me.
"Dalet." Then, like a winding clock, this world transformed into a Chrono world where we could see time flowing backward, every event that happened in the past within the last 4 months. And I used the day after I left as a time point that changed the "time" there. The system works by making the future into the past's present. The logic doesn't need to be realistic because of my Rule Breaker ability. I then used the Scythe of Time and cut the Future Time Thread until it became dust that vanished instantly.
Zafkiel disappeared, and I smiled gently. "Restart from checkpoint, where we can undo the mistake. Convenient ability from an Archangel, don't you think?" Olga then started running towards me with a super angry face. Being logical and still sane, I immediately escaped by disappearing into particles of light.
"VALTOR!" I chuckled immensely at Olga's expression, which had turned into a furious rage that was incredibly entertaining to me.
