『 "Setbacks and prosperity shall be cast down into nothingness. This one shot will bring down the gods... Ring the bell of reformation! GRAND ORDER...ANIMA ANIMUSPHERE—!!"
Scarcely had his voice faded when it began!
HUMMMM—!
A terrifying surge of magical energy erupted from Kirschtaria Wodime's form.
And then, something occurred that defied the imagination of every spectator. 』
『 .....』
Under the incredulous gaze of all, countless meteors, radiating a horrific, destructive power, manifested upon the screen.
This guy…!?
He actually summoned this many meteors!?
In an instant, the Heroic Spirits and magi across all worlds found their composure shattered.
Though they had anticipated that Kirschtaria Wodime's strength was nothing trivial, none had fathomed that he could achieve a feat of this magnitude.
Immediately, the group chat was flooded with countless messages discussing the Crypter leader.
.....
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Tohsaka Rin: You're kidding, right? Is there something wrong with my eyes? This guy actually summoned meteors, and in such numbers!? ]
[ Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi: Summoning meteors barehanded… I have never known Astromancy capable of reaching such a level. Is this Kirschtaria Wodime's true power? ]
[ Merlin: I initially thought this video was exaggerating his abilities a bit, but it seems we underestimated him. To pull off something like this is indeed rather incredible. ]
[ Ryougi Shiki: I truly didn't expect anyone could wield Astromancy to this extent… ]
[ Olga Marie Animusphere: To be honest, it's true. You have to understand, even exerting my full strength, I can only create a few small stars. Now it seems the man on the screen is the real monster—not only summoning meteors but summoning them in vast swathes. ]
[ Aoko Aozaki: Actually, there's no need to be overly self-deprecating. This is because the era shown on screen is the Greek Lostbelt, and it is the Age of Gods. If he were in the modern era, he likely wouldn't be able to unleash Astromancy with such efficacy. ]
[ .....]
〜In the Worldline of Witch on the Holy Night Worldline〜
Watching such a scene, even Aoko Aozaki wore an expression of utter surprise.
However, she did not believe Kirschtaria Wodime could replicate a magecraft of this scale in the modern era; otherwise, he would be far too invincible.
And this, naturally, is related to another characteristic of magecraft—the closer to the modern era, the weaker it becomes.
Magecraft is more potent the closer it is to the Age of Gods; the more mysterious the magecraft, the more absurd its power. Conversely, the closer to the modern day, the lower the level of Mystery, and the original functions exercised by the magecraft may even drain away bit by bit.
And Astromancy is the very representative of such magecraft!
Due to the development of observational technology in recent years, the Mystery of celestial legends has been largely dismantled.
This is why the Department of Astromancy has fallen into decline.
But if the setting is shifted to the Age of Gods in Greece, possessing various constellation legends, then the user of this magecraft would undoubtedly receive an unprecedented enhancement.
Of course, this also depends on talent; not just anyone using Astromancy could arrive in the Greek Age of Gods and deliver such a stunning performance.
If it were that simple, he would not have gained the acknowledgment of the High God Zeus.

〜In the Worldline of ██████ Chaldea〜
The staff watched the scene on the screen, unable to suppress expressions of sheer astonishment.
"?"
Da Vinci wore a look of complete surprise.
"Grand Order..... Anima Animusphere… As expected, things aren't that simple, are they?"
As the Universal Genius, she immediately sensed something amiss from this Noble Phantasm.
It seemed that behind this freezing of Human Order, there were even deeper causes.
However, it was regrettable that the amount of information they could currently access was far too little.
They simply could not synthesize any effective intelligence…
On the other side, Roman's face also showed concern.
"I truly didn't expect him to be able to use magecraft of this level… Facing such an existence, the probability of victory feels almost zero."
Even though Fujimaru Ritsuka was a Master who had resolved the Incineration of Human Order and grown from it, facing an enemy of this caliber left one feeling helpless.
Seeing that scene on the screen, even he felt an immense headache coming on.
—
At this moment, all the spectators were buzzing with discussion.
Undoubtedly, everyone felt shaken by the terrifying magecraft displayed by Kirschtaria Wodime.
But simultaneously, the tension in their hearts grew even tighter.
How would the members of Chaldea deal with such a crisis?
Returning to the screen, facing such a scene, a look of despair appeared on everyone's faces.
.....
『 Although the opponent was merely a human, the power he displayed was worlds apart from theirs.
However, despite this, they had no intention of giving up just yet.
At this moment, a massive surge of magical energy welled up from Mash.
Then, she stood before the group and began to deploy her Noble Phantasm.
"True name unleashed. I will stand on the seat of catastrophe. That which heals all wounds and grudges, our glorious homeland. Manifest yourself,"
"LORD CAMELOT—!!"
⦍Now is a Castle of Distant Ideals⦎
Accompanying Mash's chant…
Very quickly, a fortress wall identical to the one before appeared on the screen.
However, despite this, all the spectators sensed a trace of anomaly.
This Noble Phantasm now seemed to lack the protection of the holy knights.
It was no longer as powerful as the conceptual shield of before…
BOOM—!!!!!
The meteors and the fortress wall collided.
Immediately, intensely fierce sparks were generated.
Under the collision of these two forces, an even more terrifying explosion ensued.
And in that instant, the heat generated actually devoured everything in the vicinity; even the ocean was evaporated clean away by this force. 』
『 .....』
〜In the Worldline of Ancient Ocean of the Dreadnaught Gods, Atlantis Lostbelt〜
Witnessing such a scene, Jason could not help but fall silent.
"This is the enemy we are about to face…"
Even Jason, the God of War in Adverse Winds, felt a sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart when facing such a scene.
Too strong. That guy.
He simply wasn't someone anyone could resolve!
Perhaps even the main cannon of that Moon Goddess might not have as much impact as these meteors.
"If only Heracles were here…"
—
『 At this moment, all the Heroic Spirits also stood behind Mash.
Helping Mash resist that terrifying Noble Phantasm together.
But even so, companions fell one after another.
Watching this scene, a nervous expression appeared on Fujimaru Ritsuka's face.
"EVERYONE!!!"
But his voice received no response from anyone.
The reason was quite simple: under such an attack, all the Heroic Spirits could only collapse to the ground, unconscious.
Just a single strike was this powerful!
Kirschtaria Wodime… truly terrifying! 』
『 .....』
〜In the Worldline of Fourth Holy Grail War〜
Gilgamesh watched everything on the screen, an expression of surprise involuntarily appearing on his face.
It had to be said, even possessing the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence, he had not expected such an event to occur.
"Hoh? This actually surprises the King slightly. I didn't expect that mongrel could achieve such a thing!?"
Although the Kirschtaria Wodime on the screen could only perform such terrifying magecraft because he was in the Greek Age of Gods…
Even so, it was exceedingly powerful.
To be able to create such a miracle with merely human hands.
Thinking this, he was filled with even more anticipation for the developments to follow.
"Though a mongrel, he is a different sort of mongrel…"
—
And at this moment in the group chat, all the spectators couldn't help but start discussing.
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Morgan le Fay (Ruler): This actually surprises me a little. I didn't expect the Pan-Human History to possess a genius of this level. ]
[ Waver Velvet: Rather than that, I'm more concerned about the name of that Noble Phantasm. It feels like there's quite a bit of hidden context within it. And is this really a Noble Phantasm that a human can activate? ]
[ Red A[Emiya] (Archer): If that little girl hadn't deployed her Noble Phantasm at the first moment, I'm afraid they would have been completely wiped out by now. Though the current situation isn't much better, admittedly. ]
[ Tohsaka Tokiomi: Under such an attack, everyone has lost their combat capability, leaving only Fujimaru Ritsuka. I'm honestly a bit curious about the subsequent development. From the looks of it, there doesn't seem to be a single chance of victory. ]
[ Chaotic Evil Gudako: Such a good-looking blond beauty. I really want to summon a Servant like that… ]
[ Everyone: ??? ]
[ .....]
Leaving aside that Beast of Humanity, the spectators now finally understood.
『 Why Kirschtaria Wodime dared to stay behind alone to confront so many Heroic Spirits.
This was the confidence of absolute strength.
After all, the power displayed by Kirschtaria Wodime on the screen right now was enough to alter any plot, any situation.
If they possessed such power, they'd probably be even more arrogant than that Team A leader.
However, after realizing this point, a sense of despair welled up in everyone's hearts again.
Returning to the screen, looking at the fallen Heroic Spirits, there was no surprise on Kirschtaria Wodime's face, only a calm statement.
"So, all the Servants were desperately protecting you… But now only you remain, Fujimaru Ritsuka. No matter how many Servants are defeated, as long as the Master remains, Chaldea will not fall silent!"
As one of the Masters, he knew better than anyone where Chaldea's true strength and weakness lay.
"However, no matter how specialized Chaldea is in the ritual of summoning Servants, once the Master, the key, disappears, the entirety of Chaldea will completely lose its combat capability!"
"Which is to say, Lev Lainur did indeed strike at Chaldea's vital point. I do not intend to imitate him; I will eliminate you right here! Fujimaru Ritsuka!" 』
『 .....』
Hearing these words, all the spectators finally reacted.
That's right… Kirschtaria Wodime displayed immense power on the screen, but the audience grew even more curious about something else.
Just where did Professor Lev buy that bomb that could actually blow up this cheat-code of a character!?
That surely qualifies him as a Grand Bomber, doesn't it?
Just as the audience was immensely curious about the source of Lev's bomb, the content on the screen continued to play.
.....
『 Looking at the Fujimaru Ritsuka before him, Kirschtaria Wodime shook his head.
It seemed it was indeed time for all of this to end.
With that thought settling, a powerful magical energy once again flickered from his body.
Simultaneously, countless shining stars twinkled ceaselessly in the sky!
Under Kirschtaria Wodime's manipulation, those countless stars once again surged toward the ground.
Watching this scene, despair filled everyone's hearts.
There was not a single chance to turn the tables; all the Heroic Spirits present had lost their ability to fight.
Barring any accidents, there were no reinforcements left…
Just as everyone was thinking this, an unexpected figure appeared on the screen.
It was a mysterious person cloaked in a mantle!
A powerful magical energy surged from his body as he waved a large hand.
The next second!
Magical energy radiating a ghostly green light swept out in all directions ceaselessly!
BOOM!!!!
Blocking every single meteor from the sky!
Seeing such an unexpected scene, even the confident Kirschtaria Wodime couldn't help but reveal an expression of utter incredulity.
His immensely surprised gaze fixed upon that mysterious figure.
A look of wariness flashed through his eyes!
Simultaneously, Mash, who was lying on the ground, struggled to open her eyes.
Only to see a blurry back in front of her… giving off a very familiar feeling! 』
『 .....』
And in this moment, the Heroic Spirits and magi of all worlds, witnessing this scene, felt a surge of joyful emotion in their hearts.
To think there were reinforcements at a time like this…
However, while feeling relieved, a doubt also welled up within them.
Who exactly was this man who had suddenly appeared!!?
At this moment, under the puzzled gazes of all the spectators, the King of Humans, Goetia, appeared on the screen…
