Like Circe but when the rebirth square is occupied, the occupant is «assassinated» (replaced) by the captured unit.
(Circe: Captured units (not Ks) reappear on their game-array squares, of the same colour in the case of pieces, on the file of capture in the case of pawns, and on the promotion square of the file of capture in the case of fairy pieces. If the rebirth square is occupied the capture is normal.)

Circe Assassin
In twin a, 3.Kxa1(+bQd8)?? is illegal, because of 3…Qxh8(+wRa1,-wKa1). Also, 3.Qxa1(+bQd8)?? is illegal, due to 3…Qxb6(+wPb2,-wKb2).
In b, 3.Kxb1(+bQd8)?? Qxe8(+wSb1,-wKb1) and 3.Qxb1?? Qxb6, again.
In c, 3.Kxc1(+bQd8)?? Qxh8(+wBc1,-wKc1).
These moves explain the need for the specific type of the promoted pieces.
Not clear how this is mate. Why white can’t capture the black queen? Also why not queen promotion in the diagram and (c). ?

And another detail: b7 isn’t a flight square for the black king because of Kxb3.
