A colossal world descended.
It drew everyone's gaze.
After all, with energy fluctuations so terrifying, this world was too frightening to ignore.
World of Warcraft Front—Time and Space.
As Gilgamesh offered up his prayer, a consciousness of the Eternal God came down.
This was the benefit of opening a planar channel.
Consciousness could descend at will.
"Ding… Your believer has sacrificed the world's goddess Tiamat, triggering a thousandfold amplification. You have obtained the third member of your pantheon!"
"Ding… This entity is the ultimate deity of a fragmented world. You gain 70% of its luck."
[Name]: Tiamat
[Alignment]: Evil, Chaos, ?
[Height]: 160 cm
[Strength]: Third tier among gods
[Law]: Return
Liu Che looked upon Tiamat and couldn't help but laugh.
"Golden Sparkle is quite capable after all. He actually thought to offer her to me. Yes… very good… Since he has completed his task, I should take this world as well."
Before the eyes of all beings,
a nine-colored goddess descended from the heavens.
A gentle radiance
bathed all, and souls were reborn into peace.
Gudako knelt on the ground, staring up into the light above her head, dazed.
So this was a true god.
Compared with the goddess of Venus, Ishtar, and with Ailei-chan,
the power of the Eternal God was too overwhelming.
Even the vast starry sky could not bear His form.
"Boy—and the rest of you—do not raise your heads before a god. That is rude…"
Sensing the crowd's movements,
Gilgamesh reminded them in a low voice.
Before a god, one must keep humble.
Everyone started and then hastily prostrated.
The vision in the sky did not last long before it stilled. When the thunder receded and no sound remained, they dared to lift their heads again, slowly.
What did they see?
The glorious starry sky of 960 illuminated all living things, with several shining stars set within it.
A figure taller than the world itself
regarded this realm in silence.
Ritsuka Fujimaru swallowed, feeling all her notions crumble.
The so-called Holy Grail.
The so-called King of Mages.
Were they truly any threat at all before the True God?
"Paying respects to the Great Eternal God!!!"
Gilgamesh and Enkidu both bowed; they had seen the existence of the gods.
And now, seeing the God appear,
they naturally gave swift salute to show their sincerity.
"Well, Gilgamesh… you have done well. At this point in time, the collapse has not yet come to pass. In view of your sacrifice of Tiamat and your great merit in protecting this world, your world shall be promoted!!!"
Golden Sparkle's eyes widened.
His breath quickened.
Could a world be promoted?
He had thought to settle down for a time and recruit more believers.
But he did not know—
the goddess Tiamat alone occupied 70% of the world's luck.
And Ereshkigal, who had been preaching His doctrine in the underworld—how many souls did that touch?
In effect, the tally had already surpassed 85% of the luck.
For a world that could be taken up,
Liu Che would not let it slip by.
Right then, Gilgamesh knelt, forehead pressed to the ground. "Thank you for the God's gift."
As the oldest of kings,
his face would not betray such fluctuations as tears.
But his heart was wildly elated.
And at last, he could breathe easy.
There would be no more crisis of destruction for the world.
"This is what you have earned. The people of this world are very simple of heart—I like it very much…"
From the sky came the God's appreciative voice.
It made countless people rejoice.
Liu Che's gaze flicked, and the Long River of Time flowed toward the world.
Below, Gilgamesh, knowing what was about to happen, hurried to tell Ritsuka Fujimaru: "Quickly transmit the concept of the meditation to the people in Chaldea."
Once the world was taken away,
they would be cut off.
Gudako reacted swiftly.
In an instant, a document was transmitted.
Then Chaldea lost its connection with the Seventh Singularity, and that entire time-space vanished.
As if that world had never existed.
"This… the God has already acted?"
"To take up a world so easily—who would have expected…"
Romani rubbed his brow, mind in a jumble.
Just then, a colleague beside him spoke up: "Doctor, please look at the document Fujimaru sent—Eternal Meditation!"
"Eternal Meditation? Is this what repaired Mash's body!!"
Romani glanced at the scan on the computer; his eyes lit. He didn't know how that altar had been built,
but if the God's spell could be practiced at all,
it must be able to change the world.
Humanity must not perish!
That was his ultimate dream.
"So then, what about Mash?"
Leonardo, at his side, asked.
As operations manager, she had a headache now as well.
They could not themselves go to other singularities.
After reading Eternal Meditation, Romani sighed softly: "We can only take one step at a time. We can't let that girl take action."
The "girl" in question
was the other Ritsuka Fujimaru—but compared with the calm, steady man, that Gudako was a bit… wild.
Alas.
What a burden.
In a distant room, a woman with orange-red hair gripped a long sword and stuffed…
...
God's Domain World.
The Long River of Time turned.
A divine star appeared within the world.
"Ding… A divine star has been added to your God's Domain world. Detecting the presence of several native gods within it. A hundredfold amplification has been triggered—its rank is strengthened to a one-star god."
"Ding… This world possesses an original cultivation system. Revise it?"
Liu Che thought for a moment and chose No.
He wanted to see what this magical world would develop into.
Use it as a test subject.
Down in the world below—
across the wide, placid sea—
a figure slowly rose from the water.
She had long, white hair, and eyes like pink stars.
Her height was one meter sixty.
The twin horns upon her head lent her a peculiar beauty.
When Golden Sparkle and the others saw this person appear, they immediately understood—this was the true body of the goddess Tiamat.
Unexpectedly, she was only that tall.
Tiamat floated in the air.
She ignored the amazed gazes fixed upon her and, following the voice in her heart, flew toward the vortex in the sky.
Passing through space,
Tiamat arrived at a sacred temple.
Three women were present, two of whom bore the same aura as she.
And the man seated upon the throne—
his power was beyond what she could fathom!
Was this the Eternal God who had awakened and strengthened her?
The somewhat slender woman knelt.
"Tiamat reports to you, great Eternal God."
Her voice was soft.
Nothing like the terrifying tone of her blackened state.
After all, she, too, was an innocent one.
Liu Che nodded and said, "No need for such ceremony. From now on, you will be the third deity beneath me, in charge of Return and Destruction. I grant you the Law of Destruction."
A black shard of law sank into Tiamat's body.
All at once, she felt a power as terrifying as Return now flowed within her as well!
"Thank you for the God's reward."
Tiamat stood, sensing the gods' eyes upon her.
She lowered her head, shy.
…
Within the divine star,
all the native gods who had joined the faith received great strength.
Among them, Ailei-chan and Ishtar were borne to the Eternal Shrine upon rays of divine light.
Quetzalcoatl asked in surprise, "What's happening to them?"
Why did only those two receive divine light,
and the others did not?
Golden Sparkle whispered, "That is the Eternal God's light. It seems those two have been appointed goddesses."
"Then what about me?"
"You must have been overlooked!"
At those words, the Feathered Serpent Goddess squatted on the ground, aggrieved, and began drawing circles.
Fou lifted a paw to comfort Big Sister.
It's okay—don't cry.
"Uh… Well, how am I supposed to get back?"
Merlin was the most embarrassed at this point. He had come only as pure consciousness; his body was still in Avalon.
Now he was like a shut-in locked in his room.
Uncomfortable!
Golden Sparkle glanced over with a teasing smile.
"You might as well stay here and govern the world with me."
"Don't be ridiculous! I have to detect anomalies in other worlds…"
"In truth, if you want to leave, just go to the Fate/stay night world—head to the moon plane."
"So simple?"
Merlin was surprised.
He had thought he would have to beg the God to act,
and only then could he return under his own power.
Enkidu nodded. "That is the world Tosaka Rin offered up. It's an anchor point—once you reach it, you can travel to any world."
"Thank you—then I'll just fly…"
Merlin subconsciously tried to use magic.
In an instant, the enormous suppressive force slapped him flat onto the ground.
"Damn it—what is with this world?"
"Idiot, this is a world of the gods. You think you're still on the Moon Plane?"
Gilgamesh said with disdain.
He truly wondered how Merlin ever became Chief Magus.
This was it?
No brains.
Merlin looked to Enkidu, aggrieved, hoping for help.
"Oh, Mr. Merlin. I think you should join our sect. Otherwise… you won't leave this world for the rest of your life."
"I'll join… I'll join… hiss—could I get someone to heal my waist? It's broken—broken—Fou, stop stepping on me!!!"
At the sight of unlucky Merlin,
little Fou was thoroughly delighted.
He danced on him outright.
Merlin's screams rang out without surcease.
…
Inside the Eternal Temple.
Rin Tosaka, who had just returned from the World of the Cemetery of Saints, stared, stunned, at two versions of herself who had suddenly appeared.
What was going on?
Did the God miss her so dearly
that He made two templates of her?
"You are…?"
"Ishtar, goddess of Venus… from the Seventh Singularity."
"Ereshkigal… goddess of the underworld."
Compared to her lively elder sister, Ailei-chan stood calm and composed.
But for someone who could embrace the sun and walk about at will, her heart at this moment brimmed with joy and excitement!
At last—no more managing souls underground.
So happy! .
