『 Radiating a torrent of magical energy and enveloped in a storm of thunderclouds, a massive disc resembling a supergalactic singularity wantonly vented its terrifying aura in the sky.
The minds of everyone in Chaldea went blank. They stared blankly at this scene.
What did this mean?
The thing they had fought with all their might to defeat… was just ORT's outer carapace?!!
How… how could this be?!
After a brief moment of daze, Fujimaru Ritsuka let out a heavy sigh, and then the young girl's eyes became resolutely firm once more!
If that was the case, then they would just have to defeat it again! If they wanted to survive, if they wanted the world not to be destroyed, this was their only choice, wasn't it?!
The real battle had only just begun!
The group chose to continue their pursuit, but their target had now changed from the original giant spider to the massive disc!
And at this moment, inside Mexico City, the storm had already arrived. It was a storm that would destroy the world if they could not reclaim their sun!
All the Ocelotl had gathered inside Mexico City. The Fantasy Tree had attacked their tribes in the sea of trees, and this Mexico City was their last land of hope!
All the Ocelotl warriors equipped themselves with weapons. Although they knew this was like striking a stone with an egg, so what?!
Just because they knew the enemy was powerful, were they supposed to obediently wait for death?!
NO!!!
Roars echoed throughout the temple. Holding their weapons, the Ocelotl used human wave tactics to madly charge at ORT!
Above the sanctuary, the priest Vucub looked at these foolish Ocelotl. Shocked and speechless, he called out for them to run away with him!
But not a single one fled with him. Vucub cursed them in frustration. Even if they risked their lives to fight that disc in the sky, what of it?!
Mictlan could never return to their hands!
"Is it for Tezcatlipoca? Or the Crypter, or your King! But which of them is even here?!" Vucub roared in anger.
"No… we just… want to live, in Mictlan," an Ocelot stuttered out. Vucub's pupils shrank violently.
These monkeys… could actually speak?!!
"We want to become smarter. Want the children to laugh more happily. So we fight, not for God, but for our world."
Vucub lost his voice. He stared in shock at the Ocelotl before him. This race that had only existed for a few hundred years… actually possessed such resolve?!!
An extreme sense of irony could not help but rise in his heart.
Deinos, oh Deinos, who claimed to be the overlords of this Mictlan, but in the end… they were not even equal to these monkeys!
The Ocelot did not know what Vucub was thinking. He forcefully destroyed the altar, naively believing that as long as the altar was destroyed, the sun would return, and ORT would go back.
Vucub's gaze toward the Ocelot before him gradually changed. He did not want to answer, and even less did he want to admit that the Deinos were inferior to these monkeys.
"Enough! Why ask me?! I don't care about you monkeys!" Vucub shouted in self-abandonment.
"We understand. You are a bad Deinos. You betrayed your companions and ran away by yourself. But we do not hate you. You have always been seriously trying to live."
"Among those Deinos whose eyes never held us, only you recognized us as opponents in battle," the Ocelot said, looking seriously at Vucub.
"—" Vucub was completely stunned. He stared blankly at the Deinos before him, an indescribable sadness and joy rising in his heart.
He was actually… understood.
After the Ocelot finished speaking, he continued to destroy the altar. Vucub gazed deeply at these Ocelotl, as if wanting to carve them into his mind!
The next moment, he shouted, "Enough! The altar is just a decoration! What truly attracts it is the stone you stole from over there!"
The Pteranodon priest Vucub grabbed the Sun Traverse and flew toward Chichen Itza! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
This Pteranodon is the one who is truly, purely human. Just as the Ocelot said, from beginning to end, he just wanted to try his hardest to live.
And precisely because of this, he seemed so out of place. The Deinos' lack of desire and conflict—the overlords of the Seventh Lostbelt?
Everyone shook their heads. Perhaps the Deinos' way of thinking was exactly what those saviors envisioned a perfect world to look like.
But was that really a good thing?
The world was facing its end, yet they firmly believed they could change nothing, and so they did nothing.
It was too tragic and laughable. This could absolutely not be called a mature, intelligent lifeform.
No longer fighting for gods and kings, but fighting for themselves, for their homeland?
Countless viewers could not help but recall the Fairies in the Fairy Lostbelt.
What extreme opposites. One side consisted of thorough beasts, while the other was the awakening of humanity, a hymn of heroes.
The Ocelotl had truly become human!
To protect the home that held equal value to their lives, they waged their final battle!
.....
『 Amidst that brilliant and eerie light, ORT ruthlessly destroyed everything!
Even with the Rain God standing in its way, it only bought a few minutes for the Chaldean group.
But those few minutes were enough for Vucub to pull away from ORT, and allowed Chaldea to prepare the implementation of their plan between the First and Second Underworld Borders.
Beni-enma and Kingprotea had already been waiting here for a long time!
Among those pitch-black sword mountains, Beni-enma returned to her Alter form once more. Kingprotea asked about ORT's immortality, and Beni-enma told her not to worry.
"If it is an immortal life, one can only bestow upon it the concept of death. Actually, I borrowed the ultimate technique of the Angel from Grandfather. Now is precisely the time to use it!"
Moments later, ORT arrived at the Second Underworld, enveloped in a storm of thunderclouds. Kingprotea fought with all her might to block the enemy, temporarily binding ORT in place!
Blood-red magical flames ignited on Beni-enma's body.
"This is the Great Crimson Lotus, a single strike sufficient to pierce the boundary of death—!"
The sword mountains vibrated, and the bedrock collapsed. The entire pitch-black sword mountain transformed into a sky-covering giant sword, rising from the ground and soaring straight into the heavens!
"Thunderclouds of the galaxy! Dissipate and fade away—!"
In the distance, an evening bell seemed to toll and echo, and lightning rose from the void.
The next moment, the thousand-meter giant sword transformed into the most brilliant flash of cold light between heaven and earth. Within a ten-thousandth of a second, it pierced through the void and crashed down!
Following that, an earth-shattering roar that echoed through the clouds resounded between heaven and earth!
This strike slashed directly onto ORT's body!
And this strike successfully bestowed the concept of death upon ORT! 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower—
Merlin immediately cheered,
"Ohhh! Old Man, did you even predict this?!"
The ultimate technique of the Angel is to bestow the concept of death.
Who else could this be but King Hassan?
Could it be that nowadays, if one doesn't learn a skill to bestow the concept of death, they can't even get by?
Otherwise, when summoned by a Master, either this opponent has the concept of immortality, or that one lacks the concept of death. How could anyone play like that?
—
『 Under the massive output of magical energy and having suffered such a heavy blow, Kingprotea and Beni-enma withdrew from the battlefield one after another. But all of this had meaning!
According to Da Vinci's calculations, as long as they could break through sixty percent of ORT's defenses, they could use Chaldea's main cannon to annihilate it in one go!
The group continued to advance toward Chichen Itza. At this moment, in the Chichen Itza temple, Koyanskaya in her Valkyrie form was sheltering the remaining Deinos.
"Everyone of the Deinos, it is indeed a fortunate thing to be able to return to the city. However, under the circumstance where this alien lifeform is about to destroy Mictlan, to still be peacefully chatting…"
"Is this what a mature, intelligent lifeform is like? This is not the future I envisioned," Koyanskaya said, looking at what should have been the perfect lifeform she anticipated in her heart, but seeing them like this, she could not help but feel somewhat disappointed.
"Did my main body, sleeping in the heavens, make its decision too early?"
"Rather, it was cleverly deceived, wasn't it? As expected, I should still kill that suspicious Taoist!" 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
With sunshine, a gentle breeze, and a flowing river, Taigong Wang was fishing while watching the screen.
When Koyanskaya realized something, an embarrassed smile could not help but appear on his face.
"Hehe, I've been found out~"
It seemed that the next time he encountered this Beast who closely resembled Daji, he had to be careful. Getting into a fight was fine, but if he ended up being collected as a tail by her, that would be troublesome~
—
『 But at this moment, Koyanskaya suddenly noticed Vucub, who had returned with the Sun Traverse. Looking at the Deinos who were still chatting, Vucub immediately became furious!
These guys… even the Ocelotl would fight and strive to protect their home, but these so-called overlords of Mictlan were actually waiting for death?!!
He roared, went mad, and shouted curses, but the Deinos did not argue. They merely stared at the dark red sky, quietly waiting for death.
But at this moment, the Dinosaur King, who should have been dead, appeared before everyone once again! He used his authority to resurrect himself while speaking about the Deinos race.
The Deinos would not act based on selfish reasons like personal likes or dislikes. Maya's policy was indeed correct, but this was the final day.
No matter what wrong actions were taken today, there would be no tomorrow to look back on.
Although the result would not change, it would leave behind meaning. Moving forward to oppose death was not meaningless!
"Where in your story is there no punctuation mark?!"
Under the leadership of the Dinosaur King, the remaining Deinos launched a futile yet fearless charge against ORT!
Tepeu also chose to stay here. Since everyone was staying here to fight, what reason did he have to remain in Chaldea's vehicle?
Tepeu stepped out of the vehicle. Under the dark red twilight, Tepeu's figure gradually turned into a black speck, disappearing from everyone's sight.
The last of the Deinos ran across the vast plains dyed crimson. Some could only fall before getting close, while others fell to save their companions.
Some fell while attacking the disc, while others traced lightning-like trajectories across the sky, bringing a trace of damage to the disc!
With the help of Koyanskaya and the Alien God, Chaldea entered the final decisive battle!
They concentrated their final strength to inflict maximum damage on ORT!
"There is no next time! We settle this right here!" 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone agreed completely. If they did not settle the battle here, once ORT was given any breathing room, Chaldea would lose entirely.
This was a result exchanged for the sacrifices of countless Heroic Spirits. Fujimaru Ritsuka would rather die than give up!
Let them see exactly how Chaldea would defeat ORT!
.....
『 They knew all too well that if they let ORT take even one more step forward, it would obtain a heart, and by then, they would have no hope left!
Under the terrifying output of power, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally successfully suppressed ORT's activity, causing it to fall into a standstill!
"Alright, leave the rest to me. Fall back," U-Olga Marie stood in front of everyone.
"Since the opportunity is rare, let me use this tool of Earth's humanity. Magical energy supply initiated. Beam cannon, instant charge!"
U-Olga Marie's figure gradually blurred. She faded into the sea of stars, her entire body radiating brilliant light, her divine eyes looking toward Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Those eyes were filled with complexity and reluctance.
She murmured, "Let me ask you one last thing. Who exactly was Olga Marie? Was I… once the Director of Chaldea…?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka could hardly open her eyes due to the piercing light. Tears slid down from the corners of her eyes, and the young girl choked up as she said firmly, "…Yes! Although she was a bit clumsy, she was definitely a very good Director."
"Is that so… that really is a beautiful dream."
A smile slowly appeared on the face of U-Olga Marie, known as the Alien God.
Her figure slowly merged with that of the Director, and the young girl's tears fell even faster.
"Really, if I had done well back then, that would have been great," U-Olga Marie smiled, and then her figure burst forth with an even more brilliant and scorching light!
"THE END OF HUMAN ORDER WHERE KARMA IS EXHAUSTED—!"
The brilliant aurora transformed into the ultimate sacred sword, striking ORT directly!
The entire sea of stars turned into brilliant golden light. The massive disc could no longer withstand this mighty power of the Human Order and exploded violently!
But because she withstood the shattering of the sacred sword's Saint Graph, U-Olga Marie also completely disappeared.
Ritsuka looked toward the heavens in grief. The sky was so bright, only… she would never see her former friend again! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
The hearts of everyone were incredibly complex. Looking at the grieving girl, they did not know what to say for a moment.
This world was too cruel and in too bad taste for that young girl(Ritsuka).
Romani sacrificed himself to save the Human Order from incineration. Goetia appeared before the girl in Romani's guise. And Olga Marie…
She died right before Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes, only to transform into a Beast and appear before Chaldea as an enemy, and in the end, she died right before Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes once again…
If this were anyone else, they would probably have gone mad!
Everyone guessed that the reason Fujimaru Ritsuka had still not gone mad after experiencing so much was perhaps that there was some existence within her inner self helping her, burning away the girl's negative emotions.
But no matter what, Chaldea had won this battle! They had defeated ORT! They had ushered in the final victory!
Next… was heading to Antarctica, Chaldea's final destination!
Everyone's hearts were filled with anticipation. They were finally going to learn why Human Order had shut its gates to Chaldea!
But the next moment, everyone's expressions suddenly changed. They stared blankly in disbelief at the scene on the screen.
That was… ORT?!!! Wasn't it already dead?!!
.....
『 As a beautiful nebula drifted down, Mash's expression was indescribable. She forced a smile, supporting Fujimaru Ritsuka, "Senpai… we won."
Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath. Won… did they?
At least, technically…
If sacrificing countless cherished existences could be counted as winning…
But just as Mash was about to support Fujimaru Ritsuka to return to the control room, a summoning magic circle materialized out of thin air in the void!
Following that, a terrifying magical energy that even a Grand class would find swift erupted from the magic circle!
The Chaldean group was stunned… Who was summoning a Servant…? Why summon a Servant now?
Fujimaru Ritsuka's pupils shrank violently, and she felt a bone-chilling coldness on her scalp.
She stared blankly at the magic circle in the sky. The magic circle dispersed brilliant golden light, and the next moment, a figure stepped out from it.
It was a golden figure in human form. An ancient and mysterious giant magic circle floated behind its back. Its body was slender and sharp, and it was covered with green, eerie eyes.
At this moment, those countless eyes stared in one direction—the position of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash!
At the moment of its impending disappearance… it learned our summoning system… constructed a hypothetical future…
And summoned itself, which was recognized as a Heroic Spirit…?
"Grand Foreigner… ORT."
Mash's body trembled violently, her eyes filled with despair and helplessness.
Why… 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
No… how could it even win a rematch after dying?!! Master ORT, you are truly invincible!
This was too despairing… Looking at the human-form ORT, everyone felt the despair of Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others as if they were there themselves.
They had clearly already won, but in the end, it actually forcibly hacked into the Throne of Heroes.
AS A PLANETARY INVADER, IT FORCIBLY CONSTRUCTED A GRAND SAINT GRAPH FOR ITSELF?!!
HOW ON EARTH WAS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO FIGHT THIS KIND OF MONSTER?!!
