Avicebron's Noble Phantasm requires the heart of a Magus as its core. In the original story, after Sieg was protected by Jeanne, Avicebron set his sights on the heart of his Master, Roche. He eventually used Roche to complete the creation of his Noble Phantasm, Golem Keter Malchut. However, Roche was now controlled by the Black Faction, frustrating Avicebron's plan to lure him out. Ultimately, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada brought him another core, namely the Red Faction's Masters.
Compared to the Black Faction's Masters, the Red Faction's Masters were also exceptionally skilled in the path of magecraft. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been chosen by the Clock Tower to participate in the Holy Grail War as Red Faction Masters. Therefore, as the core for Avicebron's Noble Phantasm, they were perfectly qualified.
However, among these five Masters, only Berserker Spartacus's Master could be used. After all, the Servants previously held by the other Masters were not yet dead! Even if one of them died now, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada would not take the life of any other Master. Because that would be a bad signal to the other Servants. Only Spartacus's Master could be used as Avicebron's core because Spartacus died too early and had already betrayed the Red Faction early on. Now, Avicebron was about to use him to construct his Noble Phantasm.

Looking at the Magus lying on the ground, about to become a sacrifice, Atalanta felt no emotional fluctuations. Her mission for this trip was simply to "watch." She wanted to see clearly, with her own eyes, whether the Black Faction would release any other Noble Phantasms when faced with Avicebron's Noble Phantasm. Her main focus of observation was Shirou.
Unlike other Servants whose True Names were known by Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, who then understood their backgrounds, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, despite knowing Shirou's True Name, knew nothing about his past.
In Servant battles, intelligence is extremely crucial.
With their own trump cards almost entirely known to the enemy, trying to ascertain the enemy's intelligence is the correct path. Especially now that the Black Faction, relying on Shirou and Jeanne, still had a chance to turn the tide. Amakusa Shirou Tokisada would undoubtedly be most wary of Shirou.
Therefore, he would provide Avicebron with support, allowing him to actively engage the Black Faction's forces. Amakusa Shirou knew very well that with the Black Faction's current strength, it would be difficult to defeat Avicebron's Noble Phantasm.
Because the opposing side currently lacked a crucial high-power Noble Phantasm. Therefore, he hoped to force out Shirou's or Chiron's Noble Phantasm. Because that was the Black Faction's main base, even through Semiramis's familiars, he couldn't see what he wanted to see there. Therefore, the Red Faction needed a Servant to witness this battle. But considering Jeanne's detection skills, only the sharp-eyed Atalanta among the Red Faction could undertake this task. And this was Atalanta's purpose for this trip.
"I hope everything goes smoothly this time!"

Standing by this lake nestled in the forest, Avicebron slowly raised his arm.
"Born of the earth, consumed by wind, filled with water."
That was the heavenly blessing to give life to lumps of earth.
"Wielded by fire, disease scatters. Injustice shatters one's own skull; righteousness guides one's bloodline to purity."
This land, these trees, this body, everything was an offering to the Lord. This was a mysterious domain that only a man with no pursuit of fame or power could create.
"A gigantic body like a spiritual peak, its sturdiness comparable to a rock mountain. Possessing the appearance to protect all people, rule all people, and dominate all people." That was a miraculous crystallization that transcended the realm of Noble Phantasms.
"Though you are clay, you are not clay; though you are human, you are not human. You are the one who stands in Paradise, the one who rules Paradise. You are our dream, our hope, our love." This was something created by a suffering people, solidifying their faith. This was the re-enactment of the Lord's miracle, a doll burdened with the responsibility of rewriting the world.
"Embrace the name of the Holy Spirit you are 'Adam', the First Human." The originally calm, mirror-like lake surface suddenly "glugged" and a bubble emerged. That was a work secretly created by Avicebron and Roche during their spare time from forging soldier golems. It was a giant golem, fifteen meters tall, and also Avicebron's unfinished Noble Phantasm.

After all, what exactly is a golem? According to general knowledge, it is an artificial life form constructed by some magical means. But this is only half true. The word "golem" originally means "fetus" or "unformed object." In other words, it was precisely the secret art the Lord used when creating humanity. Molding clay into the shape of a human, and breathing into it to give it life. However, most magi can only go this far.
That is, of course, natural; the higher realm beyond is the fervent wish of all Kabbalists, and one should never tread there without considerable resolve. Moreover, the deeper one delves into the realm of golems, the more the golem becomes an existence that does not meet the magi's expectations.
The so-called supreme golem is, frankly, the recreation of Adam. He is the king who guided the people who endured
the suffering era to Paradise, and also their guardian.
The raw materials were rocks, earth, and trees, all things with a long history, natural objects that had never been used for city walls or timber. Darnic spent approximately thirty percent of his assets just to collect these materials.
"Now, all that's left is to fill the core!" Turning his gaze to the Magus lying on the ground, Avicebron grabbed his neck and tossed him into the golem's chest. Under the golem's engulfment, the Magus, acting as the core, quickly vanished without a trace. Simultaneously, the golem's eyes, having obtained the core, immediately lit up. Its colossal foot, lifted from the lake, firmly stepped onto the earth.
"How marvelous!" Avicebron exclaimed inwardly.
Although it was merely an artificial creation made of wood, stone, earth, and a human body, its majestic appearance, as if concentrating the grandeur of nature, was truly admirable. Then, the first "miracle" occurred.
The earth beneath its feet sang as if praising the giant, and the surrounding plants grew lushly with it. The trees that touched the giant instantly bloomed and bore fruit, and after the fruits ripened and fell to the ground, even more trees grew.
Not only that various birds and beasts appeared from somewhere at this moment, drawn to the giant like insects always flying towards light, gathering without hesitation. Once touched, even the last drop of blood was completely decomposed, and the birds and beasts turned into pure energy, absorbed into the giant's body. These were all actions they performed willingly.
Birds and beasts without intelligence could not resist their primal desire to cling to it.
Then, the surrounding scenery, including the earth, began to vitalize, and a sweet, honey-like fragrance permeated the air. Just inhaling it filled one's lungs with a sense of pure bliss.
"Ah! Is this Paradise?!" That's right, this was the ultimate form of the supreme golem sought by countless Kabbalists. It was a powerful being that, simply by existing, could rewrite the world into Paradise. In other words, it was a self-sustaining Reality Marble. This was the true nature of Golem Keter Malchut.
As long as this giant existed, the world would probably continue to be rewritten. The rewritten world would be named Paradise, the land where the first humans lived, bestowed by the gods in the past.
"Come! Now, let us begin the salvation of the world, my Golem. Through battle, slaughter, and destruction, establish Paradise. Then, boring battles will cease, and a boring society will come to an end." Avicebron, riding on the golem's shoulder, began to march towards Millennia Castle.
