『 Dark clouds pressed down from above, signaling the coming storm. Under the calm surface of the sea, undercurrents surged. Jason stood upon the Argo, looking so insignificant against the vast, azure ocean.
The gale whipped up his blonde hair. Jason knew that this battle would be a near-certain death!
One small mistake, and everyone, including Chaldea's Master, would fall into the abyss, doomed beyond redemption!
And he would become the greatest sinner in Pan-Human History!
But…
"——" Jason didn't speak; he simply made a grasping motion with his palm towards the entire sky.
The blood in his body was faintly boiling. Come on…
LET THEM ALL COME!!! 』

[ Heracles (Type-Moon): "The Captain… is always like this when the wind is against us." ]
[ Sakata Gintoki Sakata (Gintama): "Tsk tsk tsk, smart move, Jason. You actually know how to avoid flags, and even managed to set up a reverse flag." ]
[ Atalanta (Type-Moon): "Hiss… Why am I getting a little hot-blooded because of this guy! And isn't his character setting a bit inconsistent with before? Wasn't he scared to death earlier?!" ]
[ The Batman Who Laughs (DCEU Earth-12): "Heeheeheeheehee! A clown when winning, a God of War when losing! Now that is a rare talent!" ]
[ Medea (Type-Moon): "Heh, that guy just relies on that look to deceive girls. Once the crisis is resolved, he'll reveal his true colors. I really want to tear him into pieces!" ]

"Tsk, who asked for your commentary? I am a natural-born leader!"
Jason stood with one hand on his hip, incredibly arrogant.
But his palm was covered in sweat.
Because he didn't know if they could win this battle. The enemy was not only Greece's strongest strategist, Odysseus, but behind him stood the gods of the entire Lostbelt.
In this battle… he not only had to preserve most of Orion and Chaldea's strength but also completely crush Odysseus's fleet.
It was hard. Jason collapsed on the ground, his eyes full of a desire to just give up and rot.

『 Night fell. Everyone in Chaldea was in a state of high tension. The battle had been too oppressive up to this point, leaving Fujimaru Ritsuka with absolutely no confidence in her heart.
Restless, anxious, wandering… even faintly on the verge of a breakdown.
But the young girl's tense, stoic expression caused the busy people around her to overlook this.
Only Mandricardo noticed it.
He took the initiative to approach Fujimaru Ritsuka, still holding that wooden sword that looked like a spiked club in his hand.
"…Yo, yo."
"What's wrong?" Ritsuka asked curiously.
"Um… I was thinking, maybe you're nervous," Mandricardo lowered his head, not daring to look Fujimaru Ritsuka in the eye. Even his earlobes were starting to turn slightly red; clearly, he had steeled himself greatly before coming in.
"It's okay, thank you," Fujimaru Ritsuka feigned relaxation. But Mandricardo grew brave; he said loudly, "…Even so, there are some things I want to say, so I'll just say them!"
"The disadvantageous battle has already begun. Odysseus, Artemis, Poseidon… even if we defeat them, there's still… that Crypter waiting," Mandricardo continued to instinctively release negative emotions.
"Winning against this guy and ending this path… I can't see it at all. Cutting down the Tree of Emptiness feels endlessly far away."
Although that was true… was it really appropriate to say this before a big battle? The girl revealed a bitter smile. Fou, standing to the side, rubbed his front paws on the ground, seemingly considering whether to give this strange guy a final dropkick!
But Mandricardo suddenly blushed.
"I'm going to say something very boring now."
"Betrayed by women in life, and even betraying myself… for someone like me, making friends is an incredibly difficult thing…"
"But… but now, you and I are… are frien… frien…" Mandricardo's face was already exploding with redness. He stuttered, unable to speak no matter what, feeling the girl's gaze upon him.
Mandricardo's heart felt like a chicken heart skewered and roasted over a fire. Aaaaaah, it's still no good! Mandricardo turned to leave. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone couldn't help but feel embarrassed for Mandricardo.
Is there actually a Heroic Spirit like this? (Except for the little angel Ereshkigal)
Countless viewers couldn't bear to look directly at Mandricardo anymore. As a Heroic Spirit… he was actually thinking about making friends with a human?
Could it be that the reason Mandricardo appeared in this Lostbelt was to be a comedian, to play the role of the comic relief?
.....
『 Mandricardo turned to walk away, but Ritsuka interrupted him, "Finish saying that word."
Mandricardo froze, then muttered, "Okay… friends."
Cheering, jumping for joy, excitement, complex twisting, crawling—Mandricardo finally had a friend~!!!
Mandricardo's expression remained unchanged, but if he weren't still in front of his Master, he would have been excited enough to roll back and forth on the ground!
In the end, Mandricardo, this conversational genius, steered the topic toward Fou and got kicked out by Fou with a dropkick.
"Don't do that," Fujimaru Ritsuka patted Fou's head. Watching Mandricardo's figure walking away with a spring in his step, the unease in her heart gradually calmed.
She remembered the story Mandricardo had told her. Mandricardo had lost his holy sword for some reason.
But one day… You will definitely find that peerless holy sword that belongs to you. 』

[ Makima (Chainsaw Man): "Truly cute. Just like a little puppy craving to be petted~~" ]
[ Kenjaku (Jujutsu Kaisen): "Poor Mandricardo is being played in the palm of the succubus Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand~" ]
[ Chaotic Evil Gudako (Type-Moon): "How rude! That's my backup hidden firework~ But Mandricardo, hehehe! You're kinda cute. I'd love to see you turn into a firework shape." ]
[ Mandricardo (Type-Moon): "…?!" ]
[ Hikigaya Komachi (Oregairu): "He's really becoming more and more like Onii-chan. Onii-chan, are you sure you didn't transmigrate?!" ]
[ Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba): "What peerless holy sword? That one men have? I have one too!" ]
[ Aqua (KonoSuba): "Kazuma's holy sword? Hehe, it's just a small chili pepper." ]
[ .....]
〜Oregairu World〜
Crawling, twisting, screaming—watching Mandricardo, who was incredibly similar to himself, do things incredibly similar to what he would do, Hikigaya's face was already dyed a rippling red!
"Social anxiety, tsundere, internally craving friendship, ultimate self-destruction, saying strange things from time to time."
"In the end, he's not going to pull a stunt where he sacrifices his life for his Master, is he?! Now! Hikigaya Mandricardo! Count up your sins!"
Komachi shouted coldly with a poker face.
"Aaaaaah! Stop talking, please, Komachi! Your poor Onii-chan is going to explode from embarrassment!"
Hikigaya covered his head with his quilt, twisting, screaming, squirming, and crawling!!
Was his, Hikigaya's, ancestor a foreign Heroic Spirit?!

"Damn it…! We're both gloomy characters, so why is this guy so brave!"
Ereshkigal watched Mandricardo on the screen, gritting her teeth in envy.
When would she get a rerun?! Even a limited-time rerun would be fine!

『 Waves crashed against the coast. Orion's burly figure lay on the shore.
He gazed at the silver moon, a smile unconsciously appearing at the corner of his mouth. He recalled the things he had experienced in Pan-Human History.
However, when he looked up at the sky and gazed at that moon, Orion sighed from the bottom of his heart. As expected, you really don't suit this sky—
Orion's eyes reflected the round moon, his thoughts unknown.
Time flew by, and the great battle arrived. Everyone was ready and acted according to the plan. Nemo, Jason, Bartholomew—the three captains began their operations simultaneously!
On the other side, the Atlantis warships were already sailing toward them in an orderly fashion. Achilles and Mandricardo used their mobility to jump directly onto the enemy ships!
They drew out Chiron and engaged him in battle, leaving him no time to snipe at Fujimaru Ritsuka!
"Feed Mochizuki Chiyome to Echidna," Odysseus said coldly, looking at Echidna, who was somewhat low on magical energy.
More demonic beasts were produced continuously, pouncing toward Chaldea. Chaldea's three fleets also appeared at this moment. Amidst the raging firelight, figure after figure streaked across the gloomy sky.
"Hahahahaha! I'm starting to get excited, probably because destruction is close at hand!" Watching this scene, Jason didn't feel fear; instead, he laughed excitedly!
At this moment, bad news reached Odysseus's ears: the demonic beasts birthed by Echidna had started attacking indiscriminately!
In just a moment, Odysseus realized this was Chaldea's doing!
On the Argo, Jason wasn't surprised at all. It turned out everything was his plan. Captured Servants wouldn't die but would be fed to the demonic beasts as nutrients.
And Mochizuki Chiyome existed for this very moment!
She was fed to Echidna, simultaneously inflicting a curse upon Echidna! 』

〜Hellsing World〜
Montina Max revealed a smile. Indeed, some creatures just love to eat random things, but they don't filter out toxic and harmful substances.
And this point, without a doubt, would eventually kill them~
—
『 Seeing Echidna lose control, Odysseus gathered the controllable demonic beasts to deal with the surrounding situation, while he himself personally boarded the Royal Fortune!
He was going to personally eliminate that Chaldean!
Raging winds and torrential rain, monstrous waves surging to the sky!
Dark clouds shrouded the horizon as if the sky were about to collapse. Odysseus came alone to the Royal Fortune and removed his helmet.
A resolute face, eyes sharp as knife blades. Odysseus stood like steel in the wind and rain, immovable despite the battering elements!
His terrifying aura made it difficult for everyone to even breathe.
But at that very moment, Charlotte Corday suddenly burst out and dealt a fatal blow to Odysseus!
But… Odysseus had already anticipated all of this! He blocked the strike and directly killed Charlotte!
Laughable. Charlotte was a pawn he had arranged from the start; how could he forget her?!
"Chaldea, did you think such a clumsy surprise attack would succeed?" Odysseus sneered.
"Poseidon's Legacy, maximum output complete. Rupture!" At this moment, reinforcements had also arrived. The Cerberus transformed into a bomb, intending to blow everyone away together!
"Damn it, you guys will definitely die too!" Mandricardo roared.
"How could we harbor hesitation! Our mission is to protect Olympus!" the Atlantean soldiers roared back!
Chaldea, you demons! WHY DO YOU WANT TO DESTROY THEIR HOMELAND!!! 』

Chen Gong stroked his beard, his eyes full of approval. Although he was with Chaldea, at this moment, he truly admired the Pan-Human History's Odysseus.
He even felt a sense of mutual appreciation for Odysseus.
That's right, there is no need to care about one's own life. As long as the enemy's head can be taken, even death is worth it.
WILLING TO SACRIFICE EVERYTHING FOR MY LORD—!

『 Everything was over. Rainwater slid down Odysseus's face. He stood in the storm, watching the human Master hiding at the back, and couldn't help shaking his head.
Chaldea, be destroyed…
Schwing— A sharp blade cut through space. A brilliant cold light flashed, reflecting in the depths of Odysseus's eyes!
"Give love to the homeland, and a drowning dream!"
The brilliant cold light flashed past, and a terrifying wound appeared on Odysseus's chest. "Wh… What! Why are you still alive!"
Odysseus's pupils shrank to pinpoints. He murmured in disbelief.
Yes, that's right. Odysseus had thoroughly killed Charlotte from the very beginning, and Chaldea didn't think the surprise attack would succeed either.
However, Odysseus had miscalculated one thing. Athena's Legacy—Charlotte had obtained the skill Battle Continuation EX from it!
Even if dead, she could still act!
"…To go to such lengths for victory, I truly underestimated you," Odysseus murmured. "But… don't underestimate my obsession either."
"Lady Artemis, I will no longer hinder you. Send the main cannon signal!" Odysseus's body turned into golden light and gradually dissipated on the spot.
But even in his final moments, he did not give up on destroying Chaldea!
He was a Servant of the Lostbelt; even in death, he would fight for the Lostbelt! 』

[ Sengoku (One Piece): "Even after death, being able to stand up and fight again isn't just a skill; it primarily stems from her firm will…" ]
[ Thor Odinson (Earth-616): "Exactly. Otherwise, she would be nothing but a walking corpse." ]
[ Satoru Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen): "Hahahaha! You didn't expect that, did you, Odysseus? Chaldea still had this move~!" ]
[ Ryomen Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen): "Heh, Odysseus, you should have chopped that woman into mincemeat and fed her to the demonic beasts." ]
[ .....]
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower—
Battle Continuation EX!
This skill was King Hassan's exclusive ability!
His Azrael (Angel of Death) is a form of Battle Continuation, but while Charlotte obtained this skill from a Legacy, there is no doubt that this is an ultimate skill capable of turning the tide of battle!
"The dead are dead, the injured are injured, yet in the end, they still have to face two… oh, Poseidon was solo-killed, so there's still one god left here."
Merlin's eyes were full of amusement.
He didn't think Orion could shoot down Artemis with just two arrows~
—
『 The dark clouds retreated, and the storm dissipated.
The setting sun was like blood. The remaining glow of twilight dyed the sea red, and the shimmering waves were blinding.
Charlotte's form could no longer be maintained and slowly began to vanish. Fujimaru Ritsuka hurried forward to support her, but the girl's body had already turned into particles of light and begun to fade away.
She said her final goodbyes to Fujimaru Ritsuka and dissipated on the spot.
The Atlantean soldiers showed no hesitation and directly activated self-destruct. Even though Lord Odysseus was gone, his strategies remained!
The Atlantean soldiers, having activated their self-destruct sequences, no longer had any fear. They chased and blocked Chaldea like madmen!
But just then, Jason steered the Argo and slammed into them violently. He roared, "Mere stray dogs, don't think you can drag them down! I'll say this cliché line for once, too!"
"If you want to catch up to them, you'll have to beat me first!"
"BOOM—!"
With a loud boom, an explosion erupted into sparks. Mash and the others stared blankly at the sea of fire. Mr. Jason used his life…
"Whoa! I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE!!!" A figure suddenly shot out of the seawater.
"Still alive?!" Fujimaru Ritsuka was both shocked and pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect Jason to survive that kind of explosion!
Although he had lost his combat capability, at least he survived. Then… next, it was time to shoot down the god!
Soon, everyone arrived at the optimal shooting location. Achilles also came to say goodbye to everyone. With only thirty percent of his strength remaining, the only thing he could do now was stall Chiron!
And at this moment, under Chaldea's full support spell, Orion held the golden bow!
A full-power arrow, crossing heaven and earth in an instant, REACHING STRAIGHT INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA OF STARS!!!
"ORION HORKOS—!!"
⦍No Beast is Beyond My Arrow's Reach⦎
The meteor from the ground struck the god directly. The terrifying, destructive power instantly destroyed Artemis's exterior, exposing the Divine Core! 』
『 .....』
〜Three-Body Problem World〜
A causal weapon? The Zero-Homers sensed not only powerful energy from this arrow but, more importantly, the causality upon it.
That was an absolute sure-hit Noble Phantasm. So… the god would be shot down just like that?
The Zero-Homers did not agree, because in their simulations, with just this, it was impossible for Orion to shoot down the god, no matter what…
