Chapter 104 - Chaldea’s Strongest Enemy—Olga Marie!

[ CELEBRATE! THE FINAL BEAST! EARTH'S HEAD OF STATE U-OLGA MARIE! THE ALIEN GOD DESCENDS HERE! ]

Staring at this title, an expression of utter astonishment washed over the faces of every viewer.

They had never once imagined that the protagonist in the upcoming video would be the very Alien God spoken of by Team A Leader, Kirschtaria Wodime.

It was common knowledge by now, through previous video introductions, that this Alien God was the primary culprit behind the freezing of Human Order.

The audience was filled with insatiable curiosity. Why would that Alien God commit such atrocities? And what miraculous abilities did she possess?

.....

〜In the Worldline of ██████ Chaldea〜

When this scene unfolded, expressions of profound bewilderment clouded everyone's faces.

Romani's expression, in particular, was beyond words.

"How could this be… how could such a thing happen?"

His voice, trembling with disbelief, echoed through the room.

At this very moment, Roman was far less concerned with the Alien God's nature than with her name.

Olga Marie…

That was their former Director…

Yet, how did she become a Beast of Humanity and the Alien God?

A torrent of confusion surged through his mind.

On the other side, Mash wore an expression of absolute incredulity.

"How could this be possible? Director Olga Marie is the Alien God that Mr. Kirschtaria Wodime spoke of!?"

"Indeed… according to the timeline on screen, Director Olga Marie should have already sacrificed herself heroically. Yet, she has somehow become the Alien God. And looking at the implication on screen, it seems she is the final Beast. What on earth happened in the interim?"

At this moment, even those present were overcome with endless doubt.

Why was Olga Marie resurrected? And why did she become the Alien God?

In the Inner Sea of the planet, in the furthest tower—

Meanwhile, Merlin, watching the title on the screen, could not help but raise an eyebrow.

"The Alien God, a Beast…"

Based on the information provided previously, he understood clearly.

The protagonist about to appear was, for all intents and purposes, an enemy from beyond the stars…

A god from the cosmos, the Alien God, and the mastermind behind the freezing of Human Order.

"How surprising. I never expected her to possess the aptitude for a Beast. If my memory serves, that young lady was supposed to be a comrade of Chaldea. I wonder what kind of reaction Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others will have when they see this title?"

Though he was curious whether Fujimaru Ritsuka and his companions could even bring themselves to strike if faced with such a sight, he was acutely aware that the protagonist about to emerge was formidable.

She could even be considered the most powerful enemy Chaldea had ever encountered…

At this moment, in the group chat, the audience could no longer remain calm.

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜

[ Olga Marie Animusphere: ??? No, wait. Why am I seeing my own name on this screen? And judging by the tone, I've become the mastermind behind the freezing of Human Order? Am I the black hand behind the destruction of humanity? ]

〜IN BETWEEN〜

〜In the Wordline of Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files〜

Olga Marie felt a sense of surrealism.

Since when was she capable of such feats?

And she certainly harbored no desire to destroy the world.

What on earth was going on with this video?

[ Cu Chulainn (Lancer): I truly didn't expect the villain appearing next to be a young lady. Rest assured, though, it's impossible that it's actually you. ]

[ Da Vinci (Caster): It's highly probable that this is a situation similar to Uruk's—perhaps someone has usurped your corpse or something of the like… ]

[ Olga Marie Animusphere: You saying it like that only makes it more despair-inducing! ]

[ Waver Velvet: It feels more like a Pseudo-Servant summoning or something of that nature… But looking at this title, the buffs are truly excessive. Could that person's goal be to rule the entire Earth? That seems rather unlikely. ]

[ Arthur Pendragon⦍Proto⦎ (Saber): An enemy from beyond the stars? If there is an opportunity, please try to summon me. I am quite well-versed in dealing with such adversaries. ]

[ Tohsaka Rin: The Alien God, U-Olga Marie… It feels like an incredibly formidable existence, perhaps even stronger than the enemy responsible for the Incineration of Human Order. ]

[ Qin Shi Huang (Ruler): This must be the most powerful enemy they have ever encountered. But what of it? Since they have gained my recognition, I trust they will absolutely be able to overcome such an enemy. ]

[ .....]

At this moment, Heroic Spirits and magi from every world were engaged in fervent discussion.

Undoubtedly, this Alien God, U-Olga Marie, had ignited the excitement of every viewer.

Countless people were discussing her…

In their eyes, this was likely the most powerful enemy Chaldea had ever faced.

And it appeared she was an old acquaintance of theirs, no less.

At this instant, everyone's heart was filled with anticipation for what would unfold next.

Facing such a powerful enemy, and an old acquaintance at that, what kind of brilliant performance would Fujimaru Ritsuka deliver?

And what was the purpose behind the Alien God's freezing of Human Order?

Carrying these various expectations, and under the gaze of the multitude, the video soon began to play.

Amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, two figures appeared on the screen.

Looking at those two silhouettes, Heroic Spirits and magi from every world wore expressions of surprise.

.....

『 Because the two people appearing on the screen were none other than the incredibly familiar Emiya Shirou and the Mapo Tofu Priest… 』

Seeing this scene, a wave of confusion surged through the minds of all the viewers.

Huh?!

Could it be that this video was related to these two as well?

.....

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜

[ Emiya Shirou: Eh?! I've actually appeared on the screen… but I feel like there's quite a discrepancy between the me on screen and the real me, isn't there? ]

[ Lord El-Melloi II: It is likely a case of Pseudo-Servant summoning. I never imagined you two would be chosen by Heroic Spirits. ]

[ Kotomine Kirei: To think such a thing would happen— ]

[ .....]

At this moment, a sense of curiosity welled up in everyone's hearts.

They were even more eager to see how the video would proceed.

And the content on the screen continued to play.

.....

『 At this moment, confronting the Chaldea party…

The expression on Kotomine Kirei's face was grave, and his signature voice resonated.

"It is your turn to take the stage, Senji Muramasa…! Wield that blade to your heart's content! After all, it was for this very moment that you were chosen by the Alien God." 』

『 .....』

Hearing this voice, all the viewers immediately understood.

It seemed the Heroic Spirit possessing Emiya Shirou was the one named Senji Muramasa.

That was truly an extraordinary Heroic Spirit. The viewers could not help but become restless.

A swordsmith from Kuwana in Ise Province, an old man who dedicated his entire life to forging blades!

.....

〜In the Worldline of Fifth Holy Grail War〜

Tohsaka Rin, watching this scene, wore an expression of extreme surprise.

"This is truly unexpected. To think that a pervert would actually become a Pseudo-Servant. And it's the renowned Senji Muramasa, no less."

However, thinking back to his projection magecraft, she could understand why Senji Muramasa would possess him.

If anything, it would be stranger if he weren't possessed by him.

Having realized this point, another doubt surfaced in her mind.

"Listening to that, it seems Shirou was summoned by the Alien God. But why would that Alien God summon Senji Muramasa? Could there be some ulterior motive?"

Summoning a sword-forging Heroic Spirit—could it be to forge a sword?

That shouldn't be possible, right!?

At this moment, in the group chat, all the viewers couldn't help but discuss.

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜

[ Miyamoto Musashi: Goodness, I never thought I'd see the old man in this video… though he seems different from the one I met in Shimosa. Is it because he became an Apostle of the Alien God? ]

[ Emiya Kiritsugu: As a Heroic Spirit, to be summoned by that Alien God? Summoning such a Heroic Spirit—what could the purpose be? It feels like the mystery is only deepening. ]

[ Ryougi Shiki: It's impossible that summoning such a Heroic Spirit would be for nothing. And that Mapo Tofu priest… I'm truly looking forward to what happens next. ]

[ Artoria Pendragon (Saber): I have a very ominous feeling… I don't know why, but I feel that what Senji Muramasa is about to do is far from simple! ]

[ .....]

Accompanied by the discussions of all the viewers, the video's content continued.

『 At this moment, Senji Muramasa had already arrived before the Fantasy Tree.

He closed his eyes and began to chant his Noble Phantasm.

As a surge of immense magical energy poured into him, a mass of scorching flames ignited.

SWISH—!

Before the incredulous eyes of all, accompanied by those searing flames, countless blades appeared on the ground.

It resembled "Unlimited Blade Works," yet it was something entirely distinct.

On the other side, seeing this, Senji Muramasa slowly extended his hand.

HUM—!

He merely made that gesture.

In the next second, those countless blades instantly transformed into flames and surged toward his palm!

In the blink of an eye, these flames condensed into a great sword burning with scorching heat.

And with the appearance of this blade, an awe-inspiring, dangerous aura radiated from him!

The next second!

BOOM!!

As the blade in his hand swung gently, a thunderous roar echoed.

The terrifying explosion instantly obliterated the massive Fantasy Tree. 』

『 .....』

???Witnessing this scene, a look of bewilderment appeared on everyone's faces.

They had assumed that as Apostles of the Alien God, their goal was to annihilate Chaldea, but now they were aiming their Noble Phantasm at the Fantasy Tree.

What exactly was this…

.....

『 In reality, this Noble Phantasm was not aimed at the Fantasy Tree itself.

It was aimed at the Giant God Atlas within the Fantasy Tree…!

And under such a terrifying blow, the Fantasy Tree was instantly cleaved in two.

At the same time, the Spirit Origin of the Giant God Atlas did not escape unscathed.

Just as the viewers were wondering why they would commit such an act, the content on the screen continued.

At this moment, even a Giant God thousands of meters tall was helpless against such a strike.

With his internal Spirit Origin shattered completely, there was no chance of salvation.

As the Giant God collapsed, a mass of pitch-black flames bloomed in all directions.

Simultaneously, a mechanical voice echoed.

"Language… Intellect… Shared."

"Pure… Combat… Generated."

"—Respond."

"—Answer!"

"From… this moment on, update initiated!"

The moment the words fell, the air seemed to still for a moment.

A more powerful magical energy emerged…

BOOM—!

BOOM—!

BOOM—!

An indescribable magical energy slowly emerged from the Fantasy Tree.

At the same time, an arrogant voice echoed through the screen.

"—Ha. Hahahaha."

"HAHAHAHAHAHA—! HAHAHAHA—!"

Before the shocked, confused, and incredulous eyes of everyone!

The protagonist of this video, the Alien God U-Olga Marie, appeared in view.

At this moment, the former Director of Chaldea was draped in a snow-white cloak.

Floating above the Chaldea party, she gazed down at the crowd below and issued her joyful declaration.

The Alien God, occupying Olga Marie's body, hovered above Mash, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Sherlock Holmes, and the others, joyfully issuing her proclamation.

"Has it finally come to my turn? I've kept you waiting, my Apostles!" 』
