『 "Mash, Ritsuka Fujimaru, get out of here!" Amidst the raging inferno, Kirschtaria's expression suddenly contorted into one of sheer, unadulterated terror.
As the current master of this Age of Gods Fantasy Tree, he could feel a terrifying magical energy from the heavens inserting itself into reality with a brutal, clumsy violence.
Across the vast cosmos, points of light magnified until they blazed, and then, a supreme golden Holy Spear pierced the void. The destructive starlight eclipsed the radiance of the entire Greek Lostbelt!
This celestial retribution, spanning across the Lostbelt, arrived with a thunderous crash, summoned by Beryl's call.
The menace radiating from that golden beam left everyone present frozen in horror.
Ritsuka Fujimaru swallowed hard, her pupils contracting to mere pinpricks as she reflected that golden brilliance. "That is… the Holy Spear?!!"
Holmes urged everyone to retreat immediately. The heat was insurmountable; if that beam wasn't deflected, it would pierce through the entire Interstellar City!
But just then, Kirschtaria, staring straight into the beam, stepped forward. His expression suddenly became profoundly calm. "No, there is still a chance…"
The next moment, the magical energy of the entire Lostbelt surged violently. Stars shimmered, and a magic circle spanning tens of thousands of meters unfurled in an instant!
As the greatest magus prodigy in Pan-Human History, Kirschtaria naturally didn't view astrology solely as a tool for slaughter; his Planetary Bombardment could serve as a defensive measure as well!
The golden beam collided wildly with the magical barrier conjured by the Planetary Bombardment!
The heavens crumbled, the earth shattered, and the sky was ablaze with brilliant golden light!
"I will not let you succeed… Their journey cannot end here!" Kirschtaria declared, resolute.
His plan had already failed; now, the baton must be carried by the members of Chaldea!
But just as Kirschtaria was fully occupied with deflecting the Holy Spear, Beryl appeared once more. "This time, you're wide open, Wodime."
The icy blade plunged downward, and crimson blood spilled forth. The Holy Spear was deflected, but Kirschtaria was struck down, gravely wounded.
"Wodime, the reason for your failure is that you're simply too busy. If you had taken a moment to truly look at Britain, you wouldn't have come up with such a naive strategy as leaving everything to me," Beryl sneered coldly.
"Truth be told, I only intended to burn this Fantasy Tree and return to Britain… but after hearing your plan, I had no choice."
IT WAS JUST… TOO BORING!!!
Can anyone become an equal to the gods? Such a dull world simply has no right to exist! 』

[ Tashigi (One Piece): "Beryl, you scum! Kirschtaria was your savior! You ungrateful little worm!" ]
[ Beryl (Type-Moon): "Huh? That puts me in a difficult spot. Besides, didn't Wodime also receive the favor of the Alien God, only to betray him later?" ]
[ Gabriel (Gabriel DropOut): "So, this is the cycle of karma. Retribution." ]
[ Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba): "Waaaaah! Such a great teammate! Captain! Why don't you reincarnate and come to my world?! I really, really need you here!" ]
[ Matou Zouken (Type-Moon): "My dream… It's shattered just like that?! BERYL!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!!" ]
[ Aizen Sosuke (Bleach): "Even if such a world were realized, it could never last. It is only natural that it should meet its end here." ]

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
Matou House—
The sky has fallen!
Zouken Matou was silent, twisted, crumbling, insane!
In the old worm's pitch-black pupils, an endless fury burned. To think, to think he could have become a god without doing a thing!
He could have attained immortality without lifting a finger! He could have even peered into the glory of the Age of Gods!
But there are always those people…! THOSE PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY KNOW BETTER!!!
The old worm longed to tear that sleazy, mustachioed man, Beryl, into shreds and swallow him alive!
Mage's Association—
Countless magi wore expressions of varying shades: anger, resignation, disbelief, and indifference.
Their world was facing destruction—being left out of that was one thing; after all, saving the world was far too dangerous.
But to be excluded from the rewards?!!
Who wouldn't want a world where everyone becomes a god?! Even if some didn't, they were the one-percent minority!
Ninety-nine percent of the world was suffering!
And yet, this monumental opportunity had landed on their doorstep only to drift away??!
In an instant, boundless fury ignited within everyone's hearts. Beryl, THAT DAMNED PIECE OF FILTH…!!!
This was an irreconcilable enmity! He must be carved into a thousand pieces and forced to endure every conceivable torture!
How about the ultimate humiliation?!! Subject Beryl to the ultimate humiliation, use magecraft to make him grow back, and then use the ultimate humiliation again!
Gazing at that sleazy figure, everyone immediately added him to their kill list!
〜Reverend Insanity World〜
Fang Yuan watched as Kirschtaria was backstabbed by Beryl, feeling no surprise whatsoever. Or rather, everything was exactly as he had foreseen.
Fate is woven in heaven, destined to fail; the setting sun marks the final death tribulation.
Everything had been decreed long ago.

Everyone could not help but feel a twinge of disappointment. A world where everyone becomes a god, a world where everyone is equal and happy… such a world might not be realistic, but as a pioneer, Kirschtaria was undoubtedly great.
At that moment, he had reached the pinnacle of humanity!
He was leading mankind into a brand-new era!
Not an era of gods, nor an era of men, but an era unlike any before!
It was just that everything had ended now, simply because Kirschtaria was too gentle and benevolent.
If he had killed Beryl sooner, none of this would have happened. To achieve great things, one cannot afford a shred of hesitation when it comes to sentiment.
.....
『 Meanwhile, Caenis also noticed the falling Holy Spear. Her brow furrowed, a sense of unease rising in her heart. She didn't even bother with the mocking Ashiya Douman nearby and accelerated her return.
But upon returning, the scene before her eyes pierced Caenis to the core. The man who had always been the epitome of elegance now lay in a pool of blood.
Magical energy and astonishing heat still dissipated in the air. As Caenis looked at Kirschtaria, whose blood flowed uncontrollably, her eyes suddenly turned a blood-curdling crimson!
And just as Caenis prepared to execute Beryl on the spot, the priest emerged from a shadowy corner.
A faint, inscrutable smile graced his face, and his tone was profoundly pious. Yet, no one dared to lower their guard, for they knew this priest was the most dangerous of them all!
The priest extended an olive branch to Beryl, but Beryl was skeptical. Did the Alien God truly possess the qualifications now?
Was the Alien God the strongest entity at this moment?
The Fantasy Tree Magellan had fallen to such a state under Kirschtaria; the Fantasy Tree of Britain had already been hollowed out. Now that the Alien God had descended, how much of his power remained?
"The strongest guy on this planet right now should be my side's King of the Fairy Britain Lostbelt, right?" Beryl smiled confidently. 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
In the 7th Lostbelt, Golden Sea of Trees, Nahui Mictlan—
"The strongest?"
Tezcatlipoca blinked, his hand stroking his chin, full of agreement.
Regarding the fact that Beryl's Lostbelt King was the strongest, there was no need to doubt that, right?
Him, the Alien God, that bird-god Kukulcan of the South American Lostbelt, the bat-god of the Kan Kingdom, and that great spider beneath the earth—they would all surely agree, wouldn't they?
.....
『 The priest smiled without contradicting him. In fact, he seemed to relish Beryl's hound-like, opportunist nature.
However, the next words the priest spoke made Beryl shiver with dread. "The Alien God placed a lock on Kirschtaria, but he did not place one on you."
"You are free. On this dying planet, you are free to survive. Of course, as an enemy of the Alien God~," the priest revealed a sinister smile.
Beryl, who had been full of bravado just moments ago, shuddered violently. His sixth sense told him that something was terribly wrong!
He immediately demanded that Koyanskaya teleport him away, and Koyanskaya did not refuse, whisking Beryl away instantly.
The priest was not surprised to see this. Regardless of the details, they were entities of the same Class. If they appeared together, they would only erode one another, so it was better to leave early.
The priest gazed at the figure of the giant within the burning Fantasy Tree and began to laugh.
The onlookers were puzzled, and Holmes's brow furrowed even deeper. What was the priest still waiting for?
The Alien God?
But Atlas had already occupied this place, and there was no way to cleave open the complete Fantasy Tree, was there?
But as soon as this thought surfaced, the priest chuckled lightly.
"Then, it is your turn to make an appearance, Senji Muramasa. Wield the blade in your hand to your heart's content."
"You were chosen by the Alien God for this very moment."
As his words fell, the entire space turned pitch black. Raging fires consumed the desolate wilderness, and one cold, metallic clang after another echoed through the barren void. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone watched this incredibly familiar scene on the screen, their expressions suddenly becoming complex and inexplicable.
If they weren't mistaken, this was a Reality Marble, right?!
And a Reality Marble that looked incredibly similar to the one wielded by the Great Hero, Emiya?!
No wonder he was called the Super Hero, Emiya!
Everyone's interest piqued instantly. They were now dying to know what effect Emiya's Reality Marble would bring!
.....
『 A World Egg, a Reality Marble?!
Holmes's pupils constricted sharply. He seemed to have guessed something.
Countless cold blades littered the wasteland, and then, accompanied by a sharp crack, countless blades shattered and dissipated like snowflakes.
But everyone suddenly noticed that one long blade, shimmering with a brilliant, biting cold light, did not dissipate!
That was… everyone stared at the sword, filled with suspicion and awe. That appeared to be the legendary…
A figure in white robes and a red mantle crossed the wilderness and arrived before that long blade, then drew it out!
It was as if he were about to tear the world asunder!
The long blade radiated a terrifying sharpness! Senji Muramasa held the blade in his hand, looking at it with a complex gaze.
The Tsumukari Muramasa, also known as the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi!
"This is my..."
"TSUMUKARI MURAMASA—!!"
⦍Originless Creation of Swords⦎
Senji Muramasa swung the long blade toward the complete Fantasy Tree, and a chill instantly swept through everyone!
Wherever that long blade passed, the void shattered entirely!
Space, TIME… EVEN CAUSALITY COULD NOT WITHSTAND THE MIGHT OF THAT BLADE!!!
The terrifying slash cut across the void, along with the Fantasy Tree burning with raging flames—
Naturally, the giant god within the flames was split in two by Senji Muramasa's strike! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Atlas died far too unjustly!
This was some kind of barbecue on a chopping block play!
They didn't know the full extent of Atlas's power, but since Kirschtaria had chosen him, there must have been a reason.
Judging by his combat record, Atlas had been burned for ages using the Fantasy Tree as fuel, and internally, the Alien God was seeking a breakthrough.
On top of that, when Atlas first descended, he was busy rewriting the laws of the planet, consuming a massive amount of magical energy.
And now, add to that a strike capable of severing time, space, and causality—everyone had no idea how Atlas was supposed to survive that!
.....
『 Watching the giant god split in two, everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment. But before they could marvel at the power of that strike, a terrifying magical energy erupted from within the Fantasy Tree!
Magical energy, a mixture of blood-red and pitch-black, almost dyed the entire horizon red!
The blood-red giant god, with flames flowing over its body, suddenly shattered into a torrent of magical energy, which then began to condense!
Mash breathed rapidly. The amount of magical energy was immeasurable, and this Saint Graph type was… classified as the last of the Seven Evils of Humanity, the Beast Crown—
The Seventh Beast, THE BEAST OF THE END!!!
"—Please answer, please respond. Updating from this moment forth." An obscure, icy voice emerged from the pitch-black, crimson magical energy, followed by maniacal laughter!
"Hahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha!" Amidst the dazzling radiance of magical energy, a figure descended—
White hair, amber eyes, a slender figure, and a beautiful countenance. U-Olga Marie had descended!
"Ahahahahaha! It's finally my turn to appear. You've kept me waiting, Apostles! Thank you for preparing this vessel for me, who exists in the Star of the Void!"
"Although it took a little time, it is still worthy of praise!"
The next moment, the Alien God's expression turned icy cold. "Speaking of which, is this Earth? It doesn't look like much. Tiny, tiny!"
"At this level, it won't even take a year to conquer it!"
Below, the members of Chaldea were all petrified. Looking at that incredibly familiar figure, ten thousand alpacas seemed to be stampeding through their hearts.
Mash's lips trembled as she looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru. She stuttered for a long time before she could speak. "Sen… Senpai, my comprehension skills are failing me. Right now, the existence above our heads, the Beast of the End, manifested from the Fantasy Tree…"
"It is hypothesized to be the Alien God, but…?" 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
Chaldea—
"Director… Director, what are you doing?!!"
Ritsuka Fujimaru shouted the thoughts hidden in the depths of her heart. That face, which looked so much like a comedic character, was undoubtedly their former Director?!
Ritsuka Fujimaru was completely dumbfounded. Acting Director Romani was Solomon, former Director Olga Marie was the Alien God, the Beast of the End?
Then what about the first Director?! Surely she couldn't be some kind of Beast too, right?!!
The absurd scene on the screen made Ritsuka Fujimaru feel both a chill in her body and an uncontrollable urge to laugh. What… what on earth was going on?!
Could someone please tell her!
—
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Upon learning that the so-called Alien God was wearing the skin of Chaldea's former Director, and that the entity even looked extremely similar to the late Olga Marie, the pleasure in everyone's hearts almost instantly reached its peak!
Pleasure! It was truly, UTTERLY PLEASURABLE!!!
Things were always unfolding in ways they could never have imagined!
What would happen next? Human Order? Beasts? Chaldea?!
Would the Alien God slaughter Chaldea in this guise?!
.....
『 The Alien God introduced herself as U-Olga Marie, the President of Earth who would rule this planet!
The Alien God also noticed that these Earthlings didn't seem to fear her, and she asked for the reason.
Looking at the dead-serious Director, Ritsuka Fujimaru could no longer hold it together. Large question marks appeared in the girl's eyes, and she cried out in near-collapse, "…Director, what are you doing! Director Olga Marie!"
Mash couldn't help but feel a bit angry at this moment. The entity denied being Olga Marie while simultaneously calling herself Olga Marie—it was simply nonsensical.
The Alien God raised an eyebrow, completely unable to understand what the two were saying. Had they gone mad at the sight of her divine majesty?
Moreover, her condition seemed somewhat different from what she had anticipated.
The priest explained the sequence of events, and the Alien God nodded. "Hmm, so this is the state before eclosion? That is fine as well. It's getting pleasurable."
Whatever is lacking will be replenished right here. Before that—
What she had to do was eliminate Chaldea, the parasites of this planet!
Not just Chaldea, but even her own Apostles—she would destroy everyone present!
The priest had no objections to this. This time, Chaldea had been regarded as an object for erasure from the very beginning!
There was no possibility of reversal!
The Alien God waved her hand, and the next moment, a vast, DEEP… BLACK HOLE APERTURE EMERGED IN THE STARRY SKY BEHIND HER!!!
She would end everything right here! 』
