Elizabeth Bathory is the Strongest—A Full Analysis
Elizabeth Bathory: Teenage Dragon Idol, Slayer of Gods, Destroyer of Plot Consistency. Nobody ever thinks twice about the girl that shows up every halloween. But after extensive research, I've identified the truth.
As FGO edges closer and closer to its finale, many wonder: who is the ultimate villain? The final boss? The BBEG? They think, "Oh, it must be Alaya!" "No, it must be Marisbury!" "It's the Fujimaru Ritsuka of CHALDEAS!"
All of them are wrong.
It's Elizabeth Bathory.
And here's how.

#Elizabeth Bathory—the Strongest
The first issue most will have with the idea that Elizabeth Bathory is the final boss of FGO is that she, frankly, doesn't come off as a major threat. She faffs about, accomplishes nothing, and is routinely deprived of the little she does accomplish, amounting to mere comic relief at best.
But what if that was just her intention?
Let's look at her actions rather than how she comes across. Elizabeth Bathory has, single-handedly, just in FGO:
Almost destroyed the world nine times.
Nearly killed the Master of Chaldea and doomed the human race.
Constructed and transported massive megastructures in mere instants.
Manifested planet destroying machines somehow(?)
Let's compare this to the other two major threats of FGO.
#1. World Destruction
Goetia could only destroy the world once across infinite realities. This was also the result of an over thousand years plan and gathering of infinite amounts of energy, destabilizing the very axis of time, and utilising seven holy grails for this single attempt.
The Alien God couldn't even destroy the world. She just overwrote all textures from it with the help of absurd parallel world magi-science (thanks Marisbury).
Elizabeth meanwhile (almost) destroyed the world nearly nine times with only one holy grail each time, with no need to break the limits that confine existence. She doesn't need to conduct a two thousand year plan across multiple timelines to accomplish this. Elizabeth Bathory destroys the world at impulse.
*
#2. Killing John Grandorder
Goetia couldn't even kill the Last Master of Humanity in a straight fistfight while they were half-dead and running off fumes.
The Alien God got cucked by Humanity's Last Master. That's even worse than not being able to kill them.
Elizabeth? Elizabeth accidentally almost killed John Grandorder by putting them in the most precarious situation they were ever put in. Koyanskaya wishes she could get as close to assassinating Guda as Elizabeth managed to get unintentionally, transforming them into a pumpkin person and having multiple people including Mash Kyrielight (literally their Shielder) consider leaving them like that because it looked cute.
*
#3. Construction skills
Goetia needed OMNIPOTENCE in order to construct a super domain outside time and space. It's pretty sad, honestly. It's like one big chair in the middle of a bunch of rocks. It's like a goon cave but worse, and he needed OMNIPOTENCE to do that.
Alien God needs a bunch of servants, several lackeys, and the power of CHALDEAS to build a couple of tiny cities which she doesn't even design herself. She just copy pastes them from Alaya's recycling bin.
Elizabeth Bathory? She's resourceful. Brilliant. Somehow summons her castle anywhere, any time, whether its underneath a pyramid, under a samurai castle, in (not) dragon quest, probably outer space too. In honesty, I have no idea whether the game explains how she keeps constructing the castle everywhere, whether its holy grail hand waving or her super robot powers, but fortunately these are the Elizabeth Bathory Halloween events and you haven't read them either. You can't fact check me.

###Summoning planet destroying entities
Goetia is such a bum that his demon kings eventually developed a conceptual weakness to being punched in the face by Ritsuka per the Reines event. Automatic disqualification.
Alien God got spooked by her first

choice of servant who I remind you is a dying blonde guy whose magic circuits are shot and whose only decent spell can be cast exclusively in the most specific circumstances ever. This is also not counting that one of the creatures she summoned ended up putting her in the chair and making her watch. Automatic disqualification.
Elizabeth Bathory brought about Mecha-Elizabeth, Brave Elizabeth and an inordinate number of other Elizabeths each of which individually nearly destroyed the planet. That's like if Goetia summoned another Goetia to kick Chaldea's ass. Reminder that in the Mecha-Eli event, Da Vinci comments that she's the greatest threat Chaldea has faced, implying that a single Mecha Elizabeth is more of a threat than Rhongobongo Lion King who is a God only killed by Bedivere's humanity inflicting bitchslap.

#Elizabeth—The Gilgamesh Breaker
Gilgamesh is commonly touted as the strongest Servant in Fate. And that's just Gilgamesh in a class container, which is weaker than the real Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh can break textures with a swing of his super sword. Gilgamesh has super clairvoyance. Gilgamesh has every Noble Phantasm. Gilgamesh has... something else, hell if I know. Every time he appears, he gets up-scaled more and more. Just assume him to be infinite-versal or whatever.
Now, Elizabeth Bathory, comic relief of the Fate franchise, teenage girl idol-wannabe dragon dumbass, demolishes him in CCC.
I mean that as sincerely as the world demolishes can be expressed. She can kill him with a tail swipe.
Not classed Gilgamesh either. OG classless Gilgamesh, straight from the Throne, chilling in the Mooncell's far side.
Elizabeth Bathory is infinity+1-versal.
*
#Elizabeth Bathory—Enemy of God
Elizabeth Bathory breaks the laws of her own multiverse simply by existing. It's commented on in FGO numerous times that Servants don't carry information across manifestations. This is an exception in Chaldea because of its local Throne, but any non-Chaldean Servants should fall victim to this rule.
...All except Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Bathory does not follow the laws of reality. She remembers her actions, relationships, thoughts, everything from Orleans, even in her separate summonings not by Chaldea, over the Singularities.
Elizabeth Bathory is beyond the bounds of her own existence.
Let's take a look at FGO's age rating. It's ESRB 10+ in the NA. Now, observe Elizabeth Bathory Brave's FA art.
Does a teenage dragon girl bordering on a single degree change in observer angle to get a call from the FBI sound ESRB 10+ to you?
Elizabeth is not merely shattering the rules of her own universe; she's shattering the laws of our universe too.

#Elizabeth Bathory-Fujimaru's Origin
A question we're left to wonder about throughout FGO is regarding Fujimaru Ritsuka and what precisely they are. While completely ordinary, they have an unprecedented amount of luck and an unusual knack for falling asleep at inopportune times.
Let's ponder this however. Servants are summoned by association to their summoner. Due to Mash's shield, the Roundtable, gathering place of heroes, this effect is severely diminished, but we still notice an unusual pattern.
THERE ARE ELEVEN ELIZABETH BATHORIES.
There are 50-ish Saber-faces in FGO, however, most are unrelated to each other and just coincidentally share a common appearance.
This is not the case for Elizabeth. All of them are equally Elizabeth. Even the pretender, honorarily.
Forget evil, white-haired women, Fujimaru is soul-linked to Elizabeth.
Unprecedented luck? Elizabeth Bathory.
Tendency to go to sleep at bad times? Product of Elizabeth Bathory's singing, undoubtedly like Jigglypuff.
The truth was in front of us. We simply did not wish to look ahead. To witness was to confirm. But reality cannot be ignored.
##Fujimaru Ritsuka is Elizabeth Bathory.

makes Fujimaru Ritsuka you.
If Fujimaru Ritsuka is Elizabeth Bathory, and Ritsuka is you, that makes you merely Elizabeth Bathory.
There are eight billion humans. Each of them can be Ritsuka Fujimaru. Each of them are Elizabeth Bathory.
There are eleven Elizabeth Bathories in the game. There are eight billion Elizabeth Bathories on the planet.
By mathematical induction then, there are infinite Elizabeth Bathories on any dimension of existence at any given time.
Transcending existence, breaking every law, to become superior to one's creators, to be infinite,
