Instead, I believe she is a goddess who symbolizes war and conflict.

Yup, that's her all right. She's basically made for combat. No...“combat” doesn't quite cover it.
|

[k]
|

＠Kama
|

She's made for completely annihilating her enemies.
|

|

＠Kama
|
||
Back in our time, there was this bunch of demon gods that was too much even for the regular gods to manage.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Kama
|
||
One day, when the gods had finally had enough, they came together to create someone who could completely annihilate the demons.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Kama
|
||
And Durgā was the result of that effort. Calling her bad news is wildly understating things.

Affirmative. Her summoning is the incident that began this Holy Grail War.
|

[k]
|

|

＠Rani-XII
|

No... It would be more accurate to say that her summoning is what enabled me to begin the experimental ritual...

...I call the System Grail War.

？2：Then, this wasn't about the Paper Moon's upkeep?

This ritual beginning is the reason the Paper Moon stopped working.

Once it has concluded, the Paper Moon will work again, though differently than it did before.

The key is rotation and the centrifugal force it produces.
|

[k]
|

In essence, it works by using the power of the Holy Grail War system to rotate this world...

...then using the conceptual centrifugal force this generates to separate, restrain, and replicate various aspects of your souls.

Remember the shock absorbers around the perimeter we wake up in after being sent flying in one of those rotations?

|

[charaFace B 8]

You don't need to worry about your personalities being separated. The real process will occur when the ritual is complete.

To answer that, I'll need to start at the very beginning.

|

One day, a Holy Grail manifested inside the Paper Moon's microscopic domain. In response, I came into being.

I understand that you are currently preparing for your final confrontation.

But the biggest problem, and the reason you will fail, is that you are simply lacking in firepower.

[charaFace F 1]

[charaFace F 0]

And the answer is, “No.” As such, your amassed firepower may as well be nonexistent.
|

[k]

？！
|
||
|

So, I turned to the Alter Ego class to bolster your firepower.

|

They are an Extra Class of Servants.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Sion
|
||
Unlike an Alter, which changes a Heroic Spirit's way of being down to their abilities and personality...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Sion
|
||
...an Alter Ego could be seen as a Heroic Spirit's alternate personality being separated to form a wholly new Servant.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace B 2]
|
||
|
||
＠Sion
|
||
Using computer programs as an example, an Alter is like a different version number of a given program...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Sion
|
||
...and an Alter Ego would represent that program's systems being repurposed into a wholly new product.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace B 6]
|
||
|
||
＠Sion
|
||
Many Alter Egos became High Servants owing to the use of powerful beings like Divine Spirits to fill in the parts of their personalities which were left empty after their separation...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Sion
|
||
...but that is not a requirement.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Sion
|
||
Anyone can be an Alter Ego class as long as a different personality of theirs is the one in charge.

|
||
You may have gotten used to them at a certain point through sheer familiarity...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
...but from my perspective, Alter Egos seemed an especially mysterious class.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
It is very easy for any Servant to qualify as one...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
...and they depend far too much on internality and mentality that lack forms of their own.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace F 4]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
But then, I had an idea.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
If it's possible for an Alter Ego to be established just by having one aspect of a Servant's personality be in control...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
...then theoretically, it should also be possible for a single Servant to produce two Alter Egos.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace F 2]
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
I understand living beings possess a wide variety of mental states and personalities.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
It follows, then, that every person and every hero can be said to exist as a convergence of countless personalities and possibilities.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
Meanwhile, Alter Egos can exist independently simply by virtue of being Alter Egos.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
And as far as I was able to tell from what of Chaldea's records I was able to steal a glance at, there is no data indicating Alter Egos' combat capabilities are in any way inferior.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace F 0]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
So then, logically speaking...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
...wouldn't taking a single Servant, artificially separating their various personalities...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
...and using them to produce multiple Alter Egos be a far more effective force multiplier?
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
？1：That...that's insane!
|
||
？！
|
||
|
||
[charaFace F 2]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
No, it isn't. It's entirely feasible, and the benefits are clear. This is the answer.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII
|
||
So, having arrived at that conclusion, I decided to take action on that basis.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace F 1]
|
||
|
||
＠Rani-XII

And that plan is being carried out even as we speak. The System Grail War is the key...
