『 "This operation plan is approved!" Looking at the excited crowd, the chubby director's voice also became extremely passionate!
Although he knew that they were the greatest enemy of Pan-Human History, and that he, the current director of Chaldea, would even have to bear the infamy of destroying humanity.
But even so, he couldn't just stand by and watch the world be destroyed like this!
According to calculations, there were still 20 hours before ORT crossed Mictlan. In other words, they had to exhaust all their means within these 20 hours to stop ORT!
Otherwise, once the opponent got the heart… other than the resurrection of Camazotz, they couldn't think of any way to stop ORT.
The crowd immediately moved toward the Underworld Line. At the same time, the main ship was started at full power to supply magical energy, and the Servants formed a combat frontline to block ORT!
THE FANTASY TREE SEA DECISIVE BATTLE—BEGINS!!! 』

[ Kumoko (So I'm a Spider, So What?): "Ahhhhh! I'm burning up! COME FORTH, ENDLESS HEROIC SPIRITS!!!" ]
[ Shirai Kuroko (A Certain Magical Index): "This wave is a classic re-enactment, but I wonder if there are any Grand Classes?" ]
[ Kishinami Hakuno (Type-Moon): "The value of Grand Classes has already been infinitely blown apart. Have you forgotten that at the very beginning, the Alien God blew up seven Grand Classes?" ]
[ Space Ishtar (Type-Moon): "Hmph, struggling so hard against such a tiny UO. If it were me, I could squeeze it to death with one hand!" ]
[ Aqua (KonoSuba): "Keep boasting! As a fellow goddess, even this goddess doesn't dare to make such big claims, yet you dare to spout nonsense here!" ]
[ Romani Archaman (Type-Moon): "No… according to the previous easter eggs, this person is indeed the strongest in our world, even exceeding the limits of this world. If it really is twice the power of a single universe, then even a hundred ORTs would be squeezed to death in an instant." ]
[ Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya (Type-Moon): "But even if this great person really comes, it might not be ORT who dies first. Perhaps Ritsuka-chan will be drained dry first~" ]
[ Rick Sanchez (Rick And Morty): "Finally not boring anymore? The next part is the kind of show you should watch while drinking!" ]
[ Fushiguro Megumi (Jujutsu Kaisen): "Will they win?" ]
[ Yakumo Yukari (Touhou): "Looking at this lineup now… It's a guaranteed death, little brother~" ]

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
At this moment, everyone had already thrown the matter of Chaldea being the Beast of Humanity and everything being Marisbury's conspiracy to the back of their minds.
Even Fujimaru Ritsuka herself hadn't walked out of this matter yet, so who else would keep caring about it?
What they wanted to see more right now was ORT and Chaldea fighting frantically!
Fighting until rivers of blood flowed! Fighting until millions of corpses fell!
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
The high-ranking members of the three major Mages' Associations couldn't help but shudder at ORT's appearance. Chaldea still seemed to take things too much for granted.
Did they want to replicate the glory of the Grand Temple of Time back then? To pile ORT to death with an army of Heroic Spirits?
Was that possible? This monster was an existence that could instantly kill the fifth of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, and even the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception had no effect on it.
The opponent had no concept of death at all.
Was the despair of having no recourse just a joke?
When they saw the Bat God Camazotz tear out the opponent's heart earlier, their jaws almost dropped.
In their view, let alone a hundred million citizens, even if there were more, being able to defeat it was acceptable!
After all, that was the strongest invasive species that seemed completely unsolvable to humans!
The Mages' Associations of countless parallel lines in the Type-Moon World stared dead at Chaldea on the screen.
If the other party could succeed with this method, they might also be able to defuse this hot-potato bomb!
.....
『 Following behind ORT, the crowd first sent a few Servants to test the waters and stop ORT's steps.
But in the next moment, a scene that made everyone's eyes pop out appeared. In just an instant, ORT instantly hunted down several Heroic Spirits.
But what made Chaldea even more horrified was that the Heroic Spirits… did not withdraw!
They discovered in terror that the Saint Graph information of the Servants had been completely plundered, and even the connection between the Heroic Spirits and the Throne of Heroes had been destroyed. The so-called Heroic Spirits were records of the boundaries.
Da Vinci's expression became increasingly solemn and ugly. She murmured, "Our universe itself is a phenomenon recorded from the time periods when heroes were active."
"But now, it is being preyed upon…"
This was even more ridiculous than the Grand Temple of Time!
THIS GUY ORT WAS DEVOURING PAN-HUMAN HISTORY ITSELF!!!
That meant the crystallized Servants could no longer return to the Throne of Heroes! 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
Everyone's plan instantly fell through. They looked at each other, unable to help but reveal a bitter smile. This was truly dying before the battle was won.
ORT… could actually prey upon Pan-Human History itself?! This was too much of a cheat.
Setting aside whether they had the kind of bond between Fujimaru Ritsuka and the Heroic Spirits, they couldn't bear the consequences of the Heroic Spirits being preyed upon.
The Throne of Heroes was a high-dimensional information database.
Logically speaking, it was not an object that could be attacked from this dimension, but now it was actually being attacked?
To put it simply, the opponent sent out a clone with no connection to test the enemy, but the enemy directly attacked the main body through the clone?
And the Servants who were eaten would probably never be summoned again unless Chaldea could defeat the opponent!

『 The Crystal Valley eroded the earth. The bizarre, illusory, and beautiful scenery was so unrealistic.
The end without margin had arrived, and the end without reason had arrived.
Countless seeds of the Fantasy Tree devoured the vitality of the plants on the earth. The animals killed by the seeds were crystallized, turning into stardust scattered in every corner of the earth.
In this Mictlan, no living creature could escape—
The sea of stars was vast, the nebula gathered, and the world turned into the appearance of colorful crystals.
Chaldea was still intercepting ORT, but even though Fujimaru Ritsuka's face had lost its color and dozens of Heroic Spirits were crystallized, they still didn't stop ORT's steps.
Fujimaru Ritsuka sat on the chair, panting heavily. Although the main ship provided magical energy, as a Master, she couldn't output magical energy.
At this moment, Tepeu suddenly looked out the window, his eyes gradually turning solemn.
"The Fantasy Tree… is different from the Fantasy Tree on the ninth layer."
Fujimaru Ritsuka also noticed that the Fantasy Tree on the ninth layer seemed somewhat withered, and a look of doubt appeared in the young girl's eyes.
"I heard everyone say before that the Fantasy Tree maintains the Lostbelt. Although it is not as good as the sun of Mictlan, I can indeed feel the expanding energy inside it," Tepeu adjusted his glasses.
"The galaxy inside the tree cannot possibly be real, yet we have always perceived it as a galaxy. It would be fine if a galaxy existed inside a giant tree, but that is probably something that became the foundation of the Lostbelt."
"Could it be that what it really wants to express is that the galaxy cannot disappear, which means those trees have some significance to the galaxy…"
Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have discovered something as well. She exchanged a glance with Tepeu but said nothing, because they knew.
No matter what secrets the Fantasy Tree hid, their most important task right now was to stop ORT!
And at this time, Chaldea had also arrived at the Fourth Underworld. Ereshkigal had already been waiting here for everyone for a long time!
When Ereshkigal first arrived here, she had planted it full of flowers. But for Chaldea, she did not hesitate to alter her Saint Graph while extracting the magical energy from all the flowers and storing it until now!
With a boom, following Ereshkigal's summon, a thousand giant golden pillars fell from the sky!
That was the city wall composed of Gugalanna's legs!
The crowd looked at each other. They knew that this was the final battlefield!
If they still couldn't cause any damage to ORT here, then they might as well just give up!
Looking at the pale Fujimaru Ritsuka, Ereshkigal said firmly, "The top-tier cool me will become your top-tier Goddess of Victory!" 』

[ Vinsmoke Sanji (One Piece): "AWOOOO!!! Eresh-san is simply too cute! Whether before or in her current altered state, she's so cool! Ah, I'm going to die" (spraying nosebleeds wildly) ]
[ Uzui Tengen (Demon Slayer): "Hahahahaha! Top-tier cool, top-tier Goddess of Victory? Flamboyant, simply too flamboyant!" ]
[ Chaotic Evil Gudako (Type-Moon): "A Ereshkigal with such a contrast~ Ooh! This makes me even more determined to roll for Camazotz!" ]
[ Ishtar (Type-Moon): "Hmph! A bunch of idiots! Have you still not seen who the real top-tier Goddess of Victory is?! If not for this goddess's Gugalanna, where would that goddess get the nerve to talk so big!" (hands on hips.jpg) ]
[ Itadori Yuji (Jujutsu Kaisen): "Maybe they can really win!" ]

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower—
"Can they really win?"
Merlin wanted to laugh.
If he remembered correctly, that seemed to be just the surface tissue of the little spider, the outer shell born from eating the Mercury UO on the way back then?
They hadn't even scraped off the skin, and they were already thinking about how to win?
With Chaldea's power, wanting to defeat ORT was too difficult. But…
A cunning and pleased smile appeared on Merlin's face. If they really couldn't beat it, then they would have to rely on bonds~
"Don't look down on the bond between Fujimaru Ritsuka and everyone..."
Merlin shouted passionately!
As for him? He was just a magical girl streamer; what bad intentions could he have?

『 Accompanied by violent tremors, ORT's giant body of several hundred meters came to the Fourth Underworld. Ereshkigal's face changed instantly.
Although she had thought that ORT would be terrifying, she didn't expect it to be terrifying to this extent!
In just an instant, ORT destroyed the four bull legs completely!
BUT THEY HAD NO WAY BACK!!!
Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath. Her pale face still showed no trace of color, but at this moment, there was no time for her to recover!
The young girl raised her right hand, and the crimson Command Spells on the back of her hand flashed with brilliant red light!
In the next moment, at the end of time and space, light and shadow, countless brilliant streams of light crossed the sky, and a cosmic meteor shower fell to the earth!
That was the proof of human history, the glory of human history, THE MIRACLE SHINING WITH BRILLIANT LIGHT IN HUMAN HISTORY!!!
AT THIS MOMENT, AT THEIR MASTER'S CALL, THEY GATHERED HERE ONCE AGAIN!!!
The Heroic Spirits who had once formed bonds with the young girl appeared in front of her one after another. The moment they descended, they realized something. The Heroic Spirits turned around one after another and looked back.
ORT's gaze also instantly swept toward this place—
Accompanied by a loud laugh, an unprecedented grand battle broke out! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Ahhhhh! BURNING UP!!!
Countless viewers shouted at the same time!
For the countless powerhouses in the Myriad Realms, this scene couldn't even cause a ripple in them, but in any world, the weak were always the majority!
This scene… was like the shining light of a miracle!
.....
『 Countless Noble Phantasms were released together. Arrows, longswords, light beams, ships, the brilliant glory of human history was displayed here, and the entire sky was reflected in countless different colors!
Brilliant and dazzling figures kept flashing, and epic legends were freely written in this pruned space!
But at this moment, bad news came. The magical energy supply of Chaldea's main ship began to run short. The subsequent magical energy supply had to be provided by Ereshkigal!
Although Ereshkigal complained, she resolutely took over this task. In just an instant, her Saint Graph began to burn frantically from the edges!
The magical energy consumed by this army of Heroic Spirits was simply too terrifying!
Dumuzid suggested returning to their old home in Uruk immediately, but Ereshkigal looked at the young girl beside her, who was also burning her life, and flatly refused!
She wanted to fight here until the very last moment!
Fujimaru Ritsuka's body was experiencing immense pain at this moment. She was just an ordinary person.
No matter how much her Magic Circuits were improved, they were only at the level of an ordinary magus.
At this moment, this giant amount of magical energy extraction had already caused the young girl to start burning her life force!
Her entire body felt as if it were being roasted and burned by fire… but even so, it couldn't compare to the pain in Fujimaru Ritsuka's heart at this moment.
Watching the army of Heroic Spirits fighting ORT in front of her, with the number of Heroic Spirits decreasing every second, the young girl's heart felt as painful as if it were being twisted by a knife.
The Heroic Spirits who were preyed upon… could never return to the Throne of Heroes again…
That also meant they would completely disappear from this world!
So… THEY ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT LOSE!!!
She must… SHE MUST DEFEAT ORT!!!
The grand battle was continuing. Those standing here were all heroes capable of holding out against ten thousand alone!
They were fearless and likewise invincible!
Finally, with a loud crash, the last Servant holding a bow in the field shot an arrow through ORT's neck, and then it gradually dissipated. ORT's giant body finally collapsed, its head separating from its body.
The entire Fourth Underworld fell into absolute desolation and silence. In the next moment, everyone in Chaldea cheered!
THEY… WON!!!
The young girl couldn't help but shed tears. For this victory, almost all the Heroic Spirits they knew had died…
But thank goodness, they had defeated ORT.
Everyone would come back!
Fujimaru Ritsuka went to find Ereshkigal, but Ereshkigal's Saint Graph had already burned to ashes, leaving only a single flower for the young girl.
( Translator-kun: That's my Ereshkigal for you! )
But… was everything really over?
In the next moment, ORT's head released brilliant rays of light!
It turned into a giant disc carrying thunderclouds from outer space, circling and tearing the sky while frantically radiating cosmic storms.
The entire sky turned into a beautiful but deadly color.
So beautiful, yet making one feel so despondent—
That was the Galactic Supercell…
The young girl stared blankly at that beautiful disc, and infinite despair arose in her heart! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone was also stunned. Although they guessed that it wouldn't be so easy for Chaldea to defeat ORT, they didn't expect that after fighting for so long.
Staking all the Heroic Spirits, in the end, they only managed to scrape off a layer of the opponent's skin?
If compared to humans, was this equivalent to scraping off a human's stratum corneum?… Then how was this even playable? Chaldea had staked their lives, and you only just got a scratch?
.....
〜A Certain Magical Index World〜
Academy City—
Looking at the almost invincible ORT, a trace of realization suddenly rose in Saten Ruiko's heart.
Perhaps, the only one who could defeat ORT was ORT itself?
Naturally, two of the same ORT wouldn't appear in this Lostbelt, but what about different forms of ORT?
In front of Saten Ruiko, the figure of Kukulkan seemed to appear.
The King of the Lostbelt, the existence nurtured by ORT's heart…
Would she be willing to lend a hand to help Chaldea?
