Chapter 158 - Chapter 136: Easter Egg! The Moment a Planet Is Born! The Travelogue of the Golden Sea of Trees of the End!

『 Before that terrifying black hole, the entirety of Olympus, and even the Lostbelt itself, was being sucked upward!

That was the Beast of the End, the Foreign God, appearing so directly before their eyes. Watching that figure radiating myriad rays of light, with a profound, eerie, and horrifying black hole quietly swirling behind it.

Even without needing a Noble Phantasm to discern it, that was absolutely not an existence that humanity could contend with!

Its Spirit Origin specifications were, in themselves, a countdown for humanity; there were no victory conditions to begin with!

Mesopotamia, the Grand Temple of Time Solomon—they were able to triumph in those calamities because Chaldea was an uncertain element.

In the environments where Beast I and Beast II appeared, Chaldea could be called an irregular anomaly, meaning that regardless of the disparity in combat power, there was always a possibility to change fate.

But the Beast of the End was different. Chaldea had been identified as a target for erasure from the very beginning—

Chaldea was included in its calculations and could no longer be an exception.

"Regrettably, Ritsuka, we no longer have any possibility of reversal," Holmes said, his face looking terrible as he watched the entire Lostbelt rising with the terrifying suction, but he could only say helplessly.

They were completely exhausted.

Fujimaru Ritsuka clenched his fists, but then weakly let them go…

Indeed, with gods and demons dancing wildly in this Lostbelt, who could have expected that at the very end, they would still need to face a Beast? 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

So that's how it is, so that's how it is, everyone realized.

The fact that the Grand would face the Beast had already been destined.

The Grand Archer was summoned by the World's Counter Force precisely to shoot down Koyanskaya, but that chihuahua ran too fast and was too cunning; Chaldea never even saw her in the early stages.

And it just so happened that Artemis appeared, forcing Orion to abandon the Grand title, so Koyanskaya was able to survive.

And although the Grand Lancer was not summoned by the World's Counter Force, but by Chaldea, the prerequisites for his descent were already prepared.

They had thought it would be Koyanskaya, or even Fou, but they never expected there would be yet another Beast of the End.

And the Beast of the End was meant to be countered by the Grand Lancer, but because Chaos was too powerful, he had to abandon the Grand title early.

Everything had been destined long ago.

Thinking back on this journey through the fifth Lostbelt, Chaldea's hellish ordeal, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

Grand Archer, the Moon Goddess Artemis, the pinnacle of humanity, Kirschtaria, the King of Humans Goetia, Koyanskaya, the Greek gods, the supreme god Zeus, the primordial Chaos, the cross-Lostbelt law enforcer, the King of the Sixth Lostbelt.

And in the end, there was still a Beast of the End?

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have been able to imagine how Chaldea had managed to survive this hellish ordeal that made their scalps tingle just hearing about it.

.....

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜

Countless mages broke into a cold sweat for Chaldea. The Beast of the End… Chaldea would surely still be able to perform a miracle, right?

After all, any character pulled out of this fifth Lostbelt was an existence beyond their reach, yet hadn't Chaldea made it through?

As long as they passed this hurdle of the Beast of the End, everything would be alright!

They didn't believe that the sixth or seventh Lostbelts could be even harder than the fifth!

Deep in the universe, U-Olga Marie, the Foreign God, sneered. She wanted to see what Chaldea could possibly do to turn the tables!

Defeat her? That was nothing but a pipe dream. With the amount of magical energy she possessed, what did it matter if those Grands descended again?

"Hahahaha! I, the President of Earth, fear nothing!"

『 "Hmph, people of Earth, can you not offer any resistance?" the Foreign God sneered as she watched the crowd, who remained petrified, unable to even react.

But soon she understood, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face, "No, this is only natural. What was I expecting? There are no miraculous developments."

"Because in this universe, there is no humanity that transcends me! How pitiful, humans of Earth."

"Too powerless, too weak, just like bacteria seen through a microscope, hahahahahahaha—", the laughter stopped abruptly.

The Foreign God's smile froze on her face. A massive crack appeared on her body. She looked at her own body in disbelief, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

What… what was happening to her?!

Then, an irresistible force imprisoned her in place!

What happened to the Foreign God?! The Chaldea group looked at the frozen figure of the Foreign God in confusion. What was that…?!

And at this moment, Kirschtaria, covered in blood and having suffered heavy damage, walked over with the support of Caenis. The priest clearly realized something and pointed at Kirschtaria, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

"You're still alive, Kirschtaria," Holmes said, looking at the massive wound on Kirschtaria's abdomen, his face also full of shock.

To not die immediately from that kind of wound, and to actually… and the Foreign God's current situation was probably related to him!

And the facts were indeed so.

Looking at the shocked crowd, Kirschtaria smiled, "Just a mortal wound. After all, mages have Magic Crests; the heart won't stop that easily."

Although he said that, everyone present knew that the power of a Magic Crest was not enough to keep him alive until now!

Even though Kirschtaria was severely injured, that naturally elegant temperament had not changed in the slightest.

He told everyone that even if the Fantasy Tree disappeared, he would protect Olympus. This was his final promise to Zeus, and he would absolutely not allow the Foreign God to run wild here.

"Although it is only a temporary measure, I will be the one to eliminate the Foreign God."

Kirschtaria bid his final farewells to everyone, leaving only him and Caenis behind.

After everyone left, Kirschtaria could no longer hold on. His complexion turned terrible, and his eyes had long since gone blind.

The priest witnessed all of this, but he did not kill Kirschtaria. He was already at the end of his rope, and being able to do that much had already shocked his mind; this man was worthy of respect.

The other reason was that the Foreign God did not let him kill the other party, which was also an opportunity for the Foreign God to learn.

"No matter how powerful a life is, this planet has its rules of this planet. This is a learning opportunity. To be honest, this will also become a good lesson," the priest said calmly.

"—Then I won't be polite," Kirschtaria understood. Then, golden light spots emerged all over his body.

"Form of the Star, Form of the Cosmos, Form of the God, Form of Myself, the celestial sphere is extremely hollow, the hollow is extremely void—"

"And, the star shines in the void."

The stars turned into golden light, illuminating the earth, shining high in the firmament, indicating the coordinates in the sky.

"Oh, light of Chaldea, may you once again guide the path for travelers."

Chaldea, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash, accept this, this is my final celestial sphere of human order— 』

『 .....』

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜

In the 5th Lostbelt, Interstellar Mountainous City, Olympus Lostbelt—

"Is this your choice? Kirschtaria…"

Zeus's eyes, filled with lightning, dimmed.

This first human he had truly regarded as an equal had ended up like this. If not for Chaldea, perhaps Kirschtaria could have lived and broken through the limits of humanity to become a god.

Arriving at a new brilliance with a human body, Kirschtaria would have become the pioneer of new humanity.

But it was all over…

However, wasn't he making the same choice?

Zeus's expression changed slightly. If he hadn't chosen humanity, how could he have been defeated so easily back then?

Humanity, humanity, humanity… no matter which world it is, they shine with different postures.

『 In the pitch-black abyss, Kirschtaria's consciousness kept falling, and scene after scene flashed before his eyes like a lantern.

In the spring of his fifteenth year, at that time, Kirschtaria did not understand what love was. He was born superior, with a long-standing magical heritage and terrifying magical talent, and he himself had the consciousness of being chosen by fate.

Kirschtaria believed that he was born to create beautiful things, to create even more wonderful things.

And these thoughts inspired him to move forward…

But these thoughts seemed so ridiculous after he suffered an assassination attempt and was saved by a beggar boy in a dilapidated house.

His Magic Circuits and Crest had both been deactivated. A dirty boy gently pushed open the door, and when he saw Wodime wake up, a joyful expression appeared on his face.

The smile on that dirty face… was not innocent. This boy had ulterior motives, the heavily injured Wodime thought.

What was it for? Magical treasures? Secrets? Or some unknown purpose? But no matter how he guessed, the boy was always smiling.

Kirschtaria, who had been saved, did not feel gratitude in his heart; on the contrary, a sense of humiliation made Kirschtaria feel nauseous! 』

『 .....』

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜

Kirschtaria looked at that dirty figure, and his thoughts seemed to return to a long time ago.

That boy's smile…

Gradually, Kirschtaria's vision began to blur.

It was that boy who had let him see the most beautiful existence, and that was why he had such a wish.

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

Is this Kirschtaria's lantern?

Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.

What exactly happened to make Kirschtaria give birth to the wish for everyone to become gods?

.....

『 "Treasure, treasure," the boy took care of Kirschtaria, feeding him moldy food, and Kirschtaria could not refuse, only passively accepting it.

He no longer held any hope of being rescued. He was certain that he would be easily caught and killed by the assassins.

Even a god could not save him in this desperate situation.

But… no matter how many days passed, the assassins still did not arrive. It was irrational, irrational…

Kirschtaria began to have hope. He longed to live, and he had conversations with that boy and saw the hidden necklace the boy had picked up!

"So that's it, this is indeed a treasure," Kirschtaria realized. He knew why he hadn't been tracked by the assassins.

And the boy just looked at Kirschtaria and poured his heart out, "Treasure."

After observing for a few more days, Wodime found that this boy often talked about the bridge, looking…

He finally remembered that he occasionally saw a homeless person under the bridge; it was this boy.

He didn't know what he meant to this boy, but the fact that he had been saved said it all.

Although the boy's language was not fluent, his thinking was very clear. He knew the necklace could protect the "treasure," but he needed to go out to find food.

And these two could not be achieved simultaneously. There was no food left, but the boy didn't say anything, just told Kirschtaria that it was okay.

This time, the boy brought a basket of fresh bread. His body trembled slightly under his dirty cloak. He handed the bread to Kirschtaria, and until he saw him eat the bread, the boy fell by the bed, satisfied.

Kirschtaria realized something was wrong. He lifted the boy's clothes and saw the shocking wounds, and then saw the missing necklace lying by his bedside!

The boy had relied on the necklace to get food without being questioned, but having lost the necklace…

The boy used his last strength to signal Kirschtaria not to worry, and he smiled again, "Treasure… don't worry."

"It's really beautiful," the boy said, as if he had seen the stars. He sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Until the end, Kirschtaria realized that the "treasure" in the boy's mouth was not the necklace, but… him!

To protect him, this boy had voluntarily left the necklace behind, and to get new food, this boy had suffered inhumane beatings, and in the end… died before his eyes.

A sense of unspeakable sorrow and self-mockery rose in Kirschtaria's heart.

Creating beautiful things? A born king? A chosen genius?

He was just a fool—

He kept saying he wanted to create beautiful things, but in the end, he didn't even know what beauty was…

Time returned to the present. Kirschtaria lay in Caenis's arms, and he used a Command Spell to drive away the Foreign God.

He smiled; this was acknowledging his defeat from the bottom of his heart.

Everything he had done was already over— 』

『 The Sixth Lostbelt, also known as Fairy Lostbelt, since the birth of the Fairy Kingdom 2,000 years ago, under the rule of Queen Morgan, all fairies have lived happily.

An ideal land, a paradise, the beautiful scenery is like a dream, and the fairy species living here are even more enchantingly beautiful.

Some have pointed ears and wings on their backs, some are gentle and charming, some have white hair and blue eyes, and are petite and cute—

They coexist peacefully with humans and live happily.

On the throne, Queen Morgan's beautiful and cold figure overlooked the entire Fairy Kingdom Lostbelt.

The withered Fantasy Tree, a giant abyss-like black hole, lay in the very center of the Fairy Kingdom Britain, and nine holy lances stood behind the throne, as if guarding the people of the Fairy Lostbelt. 』

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

Compared to the previous Lostbelts, this Fairy Lostbelt was undoubtedly a fairyland.

It was an indescribable, true beauty.

Just as described in countless fairy tales, the fairies were beautiful and enchanting, and the place they lived was a paradise humans dreamed of.

Everyone looked at the countless beautiful fairies in the painting, feeling a little intoxicated. It was too beautiful…

Not just the surface, countless viewers were certain that the hearts of those fairies must be even more beautiful!

But what made everyone even more curious was… the Fantasy Tree of the Fairy Lostbelt had already withered?!

In the 6th Lostbelt, Fae Round Table Domain, Avalon le Fae Lostbelt—

Oberon looked at the scene of the fairies living in harmony in the painting, stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterward, he laughed wildly.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Hahahahahahahaha! It's too interesting, it's too interesting."

Fairies? Coexisting peacefully with humans?! Fairies are beautiful??!

If his essence wasn't still that doomsday device, he would have almost believed it!

This Lostbelt had already started to loathe itself and produce destructive emotions, yet someone actually thought it was beautiful?!!

"No, I'm going to die laughing. I'm really going to crack up. I'm looking forward to seeing what those people's expressions will be when they see the true essence of fairies."
