[ "I seem to have had a dream, in a city that felt familiar."The scene shifted, accompanied by the sound of Mash's voice.
After a flash of white light, Mash's figure appeared in a city filled with laughter and overflowing with happiness.
"Hello there, young lady!" An unknown man walked up to Mash with a smile: "You look very spirited today, that's good. Tomorrow, we will definitely live very peacefully!"
"We have finally reached this step. An ideal world without strife or hunger, without discrimination or prejudice."
At this moment, another unknown man walked over and took up the conversation: "Yes, we have finally broken free from death and obtained eternity! We are now living in supreme happiness."
"I don't understand." Mash slowly shook her head. Looking at the happy scene before her, she instead revealed a sorrowful expression: "King of Mage Solomon, the scenery you see makes me feel terrified."
At this moment, the figure beside Mash transformed into the King of Mage Solomon, and the streets turned black and white. Solomon appeared unusually calm at this moment: "What is terrifying about it?"
"Liberation from predetermined life, liberation from the fear of death, liberation from all anxiety."
"A future already promised, a today that continues forever… Lives that no longer need to fear the termination of tomorrow. This should be salvation for you all." ]

〜Naruto World〜
"Is this the King of Mage Solomon? Creating an ideal world."
The aged Uchiha Madara murmured.
He felt he might get along with this Solomon; after all, they shared a common topic.
"It seems that no matter which world, people never understand this approach."
Old Man Madara seemed to sigh with emotion, then looked at the screen and snorted coldly:
"Looking at it this way, Chaldea is just a group of foolish people."
This existence, which Chaldea seemed to be fighting with all its might, merely wanted to create an ideal world without sorrow or pain, where everyone could reach eternity.
"What is wrong with this? What is wrong with me? Why can't you understand me either, Hashirama!"
Sigh… Such a utopia-like world, a perfect world without hatred, perhaps only I can understand it!
〜Bleach World〜
"What exactly… are you saying? I don't understand."
Kurosaki Ichigo, routinely deaf to complex motives, expressed his confusion.
Looking at the dark-skinned, white-haired figure on the screen, Inoue Orihime looked a bit distressed:
"They look too similar. Is the Doctor actually Solomon or not?"
If that were true, Fujimaru Ritsuka would be in a terrible spot. Who could have imagined that the boss they were about to fight was actually undercover as their highest leader? Who could stand that?
"Probably not."
Ishida Uryu shook his head, denying the other's guess. After all, the personality and image were too different.
"That's good."
Inoue Orihime breathed a slight sigh of relief, then asked with some confusion:
"Listening to what he said… is Solomon actually a good person?"
It sounded fine, didn't it? An ideal world without prejudice, full of beauty and happiness. Why would Mash feel fear towards it?
"Only talking about the future without talking about the process is just being a hooligan!"
Speaking of this, Kurosaki Ichigo's IQ suddenly came online.
"What if, like Emiya Kiritsugu, he chooses to sacrifice a small number of innocent people to achieve this goal?"
The group fell silent. Yes… hadn't Emiya Shirou already proven it? An ideal world does not exist!
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
"Why do I feel like it sounds a bit awkward?"
Ishtar scratched her head, confused.
"Heh… realizing it's awkward means you're right. It seems you aren't completely useless, you useless goddess!"
After Gilgamesh delivered his daily roast of a certain goddess, he sneered and said,
"That is because Human Evil is Human Love. Without Human Love, one cannot become a Human Evil!"
This was Goetia's way of loving humanity… just like the mother goddess Tiamat. But this method was wrong from the very beginning!
.....
Inside the Chaldea security organization, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt like his brain was about to smoke:
"Is this the goal Solomon wants to achieve after the Incineration of Humanity? To create such a world?"
That guy who destroyed human history, his goal was actually to create a so-called utopian world? Are you kidding me?
.....
[ "I'm sorry, I don't know why you appeared before me." Mash slowly stood up, denying his viewpoint: "But I must correct the mistake within it!"
Solomon's attitude showed no impatience; instead, he appeared very gentle and calm: "Tell me. I am very interested in your conclusion."
"Mash!" Just as Mash opened her mouth to speak, she heard Fujimaru Ritsuka's shout.
Then the dream suddenly shattered, and she found herself standing in the corridor of Chaldea, with Fujimaru Ritsuka standing beside her. ]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』
"Oh my gawd! Im odds with you, Cliffhanger-kun!"
"We still don't know what the pangolin said that day… Leaving us hanging, right!"
"It feels like Chaldea is becoming a sieve. The enemy boss comes and goes whenever he wants."
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜
Meanwhile, Fujimaru Ritsuka was also speechless. Your attitude towards me isn't nearly as gentle as your attitude towards Mash. Treating us differently, huh?
.....
[ "We met right here, didn't we?" A preoccupied Fujimaru Ritsuka looked through the window at the snowy scene outside, standing by Mash's side.
At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to want to say something, but hesitated, his face written with conflict.
But he still made up his mind and said seriously: "Mash, you should stay in Chaldea!"
Mash was slightly stunned, but then understood. She said with a sense of relief: "Thank you! But that is impossible. I am Senpai's exclusive Servant!"
"If Senpai is going to fight, then I will fight together with you, even if it means reducing my already scant remaining active time."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression was complicated: "You already knew."
"…Yes." ]

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜
In the 6th singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot—
"Mash… has no time left…"
Hearing this, Lancelot suddenly froze in place, his expression becoming somewhat downcast.
Remembering the scene in the previous inventory video where Mash called him 'Dad', Lancelot inevitably felt a bit more sorrow in his heart.
"I am proud of you, my child! Use your remaining time to pioneer a perfect future, and fight like a knight until the end!"
This was not only Chaldea's final battle but also her last mission. After this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, it would likely have nothing to do with her.
Others might still have the chance to witness a bright future, but Mash already had no future!
.....
[ "There's actually nothing to mind about that. Although compared to others, the environment of my birth and growth was somewhat special."
Looking at her depressed Senpai, Mash said with a smile, "But I do not think my past life was sad. Not a single thing about it was pitiful!"
"King of Mage Solomon said that life has no value, and human history has no meaning! I want to deny that conclusion with all my might."
Images began to flash of the journey they had experienced. Heroes known to people appeared on the screen one by one.
Jeanne d'Arc, Siegfried, Nero, Mordred, the Lion King, the King of Heroes, and so on!
"Even if some lose their lives and are forgotten forever, everything accumulated by those who lived in this world constitutes the present!"
"Although I do not understand the sorrow of life, I understand the joy of life! This is what the worlds we have walked through so far have taught me!"
"Even if my active time only has a few months left, it is enough to make me feel proud."
Mash extended her hand towards Fujimaru Ritsuka: "So, please let me accompany you to the final moment! Master."
"Stop the Incineration of Humanity, demonstrate the value of humanity! Take back our future with our own hands!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was speechless for a moment. He saw only determination in Mash's eyes, an unimaginable determination!
Then he reached out and held Mash's hand, his confusion gone: "Let's go together, Mash! Let's take back our future with our own hands." ]

〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜
"Mash only has a few months left??"
Misaka Mikoto was stunned.
She thought it was just not many years left, but she didn't expect it to be measured in months…
Different birth and growth environment… was she artificially created like the Misaka Sisters?
Although she knew Mash wouldn't live long, she didn't expect she could only hold on for a few more months, a time even shorter than the Misaka Sisters'.
"The world is entrusted to the hands of a boy and a girl like this, Onee-sama!"
Kuroko was also secretly cursing. What kind of ridiculous world is that? It's all world-ending crises.
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜
"Life won't be forgotten; that is the journey we walked together!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka clenched his fist slightly. But… but knowing this, he still inevitably felt sadness in his heart.
"Senpai…"
Mash shook her head. She had long been prepared for this; now she just knew her future ahead of time.
"Sorry, I lost my composure."
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked into Mash's eyes and said firmly:
"We will definitely take back the future with our own hands!"
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
The Wise King Gilgamesh crossed his arms and looked at the giant ring in the sky:
"This is humanity! The meaning of humanity's existence is to pursue existence itself."
It is precisely because of limited life that people cherish, create, have regrets, and leave traces!
