[ Vinsmoke Sanji (One Piece): "Awoooo! Do I get to see Mash, Ritsuka, and countless gentle and beautiful young ladies again?!" ]
[ Marshall D Teach (One Piece): "Zehahahahaha! Are we finally reaching the end? How exciting! What exactly is at the end, and what secrets lie within? This is even more exciting than One Piece!" ]
[ Gol D. Roger (One Piece): "Hahahahaha, that's not wrong at all! Compared to finding and hiding treasure, watching other worlds is much more interesting! Are you ready, everyone from Chaldea?" ]
[ Fujimaru Ritsuka (Type-Moon): "…We are ready!" ]
[ Belial (Ultraman): "Too confident, human. Before you face it, you will never know how powerful your enemy is, and how fragile you yourself are." ]

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
The moment they saw the Type-moon world, everyone's eyes widened. When they saw that it was Lostbelt No. 7 and the question appearing on the screen, a current of electricity seemed to pass through their bodies, and they couldn't stop feeling a thrill of pleasure!
Is the foreshadowing planted back then finally going to be revealed now?!
Why was Chaldea shut out? Are they heroes who saved the world, or are they the Beast of Humanity?
The answer to all of this is about to be revealed!
.....
〜Dao of the Bizarre Immortal World〜
"Hahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha! Danyangzi! Danyangzi! Your Daoist master has made it!"
Li Huowang shouted in excitement.
After this screen appeared, his already mad world became even madder!
Humans didn't look like humans, ghosts didn't look like ghosts. Whether it was in his mental illness or here, he could see this screen. So was he just going crazier, or was all of this real?
Can't tell, can't tell, hahahahaha!
"But we'll know soon,"
Li Huowang's face suddenly changed, and he loudly scolded Danyangzi in the distance,
"Dammit! You old geezer, why aren't you quickly coming up with a plan for me! Standing there picking out your own grave?!"
Danyangzi was furious but dared not speak out, let alone kill. Because he had already checked the price of killing Li Huowang.
That kind of price was something he couldn't afford, even if he became an immortal thousands or tens of thousands of times over.

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
Inside Chaldea—
Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others fell into a deep silence. Everything they had done… whether it would be denied or affirmed, was going to be decided at this very moment.
But no matter what the result was, it would be hard for them to accept.
If they were not the Beast of Humanity, and everything they did was correct, then why did the Human Order reject them?
If they were the Beast of Humanity, and everything they did was wrong…
Thinking of this answer, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but feel dizzy. Then what should they do?
Meanwhile, in the Imaginary Number Space, a white-haired old man sat on a chair with a heavy expression.
The Marshal of Wizardry, Zelretch, looked at the book in front of him that was flipping on its own without any wind, and let out a deep sigh. He couldn't see anything. By now, he couldn't see anything at all.
Whether it was the timeline, the pruning lines, or the pruned timelines, he could no longer see them.
But for an observer of the world like him, this was both a trouble and a pleasure. It was precisely because he had seen too many similar things that he had grown bored.
Seeing nothing now might actually be a good state of affairs for him.
And this time, it was their world again… and the final chapter of that wrong world…
Zelretch was already looking forward to seeing what kind of impact it would have on the real world when Chaldea learned everything through the screen.
And since it was Lostbelt No. 7, that giant spider would definitely wake up, right?
Then let him witness how Chaldea defeats the strongest and worst invasive lifeform!
"But… did I still fail to buzz in this time?"
Zelretch looked at his unselected status and couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
If he answered correctly, perhaps the injuries he sustained from his great battle with the Crimson Moon could be recovered?
He possessed a body of powerful magical energy, but his life force could not be locked down, no matter what, causing his body to age to such a state…
"Really…"
Zelretch couldn't help but want to laugh when he recalled the reason he fought the Crimson Moon.

〜Bleach World〜
Aizen tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, the smile on his face still as warm as a spring breeze.
He liked to analyze things with conspiracy theories, but nothing was absolute, and the world was not simply black and white. Thinking about everything solely through conspiracy theories would inevitably lead one into a quagmire.
But this time was different… Aizen's smile grew even wider as he looked at the question on the screen.
This time, he would guess the answer with the utmost malice.
Furthermore, everything was about to be connected. Aizen's eyes reflected a strange light.
The Grand Command Spells, the Crypters, the seven Lostbelts, the rules of a normal Holy Grail War…
"…Not enough, I still need to confirm one more thing."
Even someone like Aizen couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement at this moment. If it really was like that.
Then the person manipulating all of this was interesting to an unspeakable degree!
—
Soon, the countdown ended, and the answers of the three appeared on the screen.
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
[ Li Huowang (Dao of the Bizarre Immortal): "Chaldea is the Beast of Humanity, and everything they did was wrong." ]
[ Aizen Sosuke (Bleach): "Chaldea is the Beast of Humanity, and everything they did was wrong." ]
[ Fujimaru Ritsuka (Type-Moon): "…No, but everything we did for Pan-Human History was correct!" ]
[ Ding! Two answered correctly, one answered incorrectly. ]
[ Correct Answer— Chaldea is indeed the Beast of Humanity, and everything they did was wrong. ]
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
The moment the answer appeared, countless viewers, especially those anti-heroes and villains, couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces and burst into wild laughter.
Clowns, Chaldea are simply clowns!
The Beast of Humanity they repeatedly claimed they wanted to defeat was themselves. The justice they repeatedly claimed has now been completely denied!
If this isn't a clown, what is!
Yes, they admitted that the story of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash was indeed very touching, but so what?
What they thought was right has now been completely denied. This is the greatest malice toward them.
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
Countless Heroic Spirits and magi fell silent. Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but collapse to the ground. Her eyes went dark, and her heart ached with a tearing pain.
Unacceptable, such an answer was unacceptable!
Is Chaldea the Beast of Humanity? Was everything wrong?
Then what is correct? WHAT ON EARTH IS RIGHT?!!!
Fujimaru Ritsuka buried her head deeply, her expression unreadable.
"Senpai!"
Mash couldn't accept such a result either. She supported Fujimaru Ritsuka, her eyes filled with sadness and confusion.
If everything was wrong, then what did they save, and what was the purpose of everything they did?
"…I DON'T ACCEPT IT… I WILL NEVER ACCEPT SUCH AN ANSWER!!!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly lifted her head and roared out!
They fought with their lives on the line, fought for humanity. On what grounds can anyone say they were wrong now?!!
What did they do wrong?
Who denied them?! The Creator? No, no, no, the Creator only judges the most correct answer based on their world. Then who… who on earth put them in such a situation?
Fujimaru Ritsuka squinted her eyes, and deep within the girl's eyes, a flash of darkness flickered and vanished.
Grand Temple of Time: Solomon—
Goetia said nothing, only letting out a deep sigh.
If it were his past self on the screen, he might have realized something, but he did not know.
But one thing was certain: things were far more complicated than he had imagined.
—
『 After the clearance of Lostbelt No. 6, the people of Chaldea did not get to rest. Without stopping, they headed toward a Singularity(LB 6.5).
In the Realm of the Thanatos Impulse, the crowd discovered the power of the Alien World here, and through battle, enabled Holmes to discover his true identity!
It turned out he was not some Servant summoned by Chaldea. HIS TRUE IDENTITY WAS AN APOSTLE OF THE ALIEN GOD!!!
Even he himself didn't know this. He had been following Chaldea all along, only realizing his identity at this moment. In the end, Holmes chose to leap off a cliff to end his own life for the sake of Chaldea! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone suddenly recalled that Goetia had previously warned Chaldea that there was a mole among them.
To think that this person was actually Chaldea's strategist?!
Then wasn't Chaldea in danger at any moment? But the question also arose: since Holmes was a mole planted in Chaldea by the Alien God, why didn't he just detonate them directly?
Did the Alien God not want Chaldea to die early?
Everyone showed bewildered expressions. Speaking of which, up until now, they didn't seem to know the Alien God's goal, right?
.....
『 The Singularity collapsed, and everyone returned just in time at the last moment. But there was no time to mourn for Holmes, because what they had to face now was…
The final chapter of the Lostbelts, Lostbelt No. 7: the South American Lostbelt!
Before their departure, Moriarty told everyone his guess. Although it was a guess, it could already be confirmed as fact.
That is, U-Olga Marie, acting as the Alien God, was planning to further strengthen her Saint Graph!
The people of Chaldea showed puzzled expressions. How was the Alien God going to strengthen her Saint Graph?
Kadoc seemed to think of something regarding Lostbelt No. 7, and his expression became uncertain.
Moriarty's expression turned grave. "That is the extraterrestrial life sleeping in the South American region, an absolute taboo within the Mage's Association!"
For the entire planet, the strongest and worst invasive lifeform— ORT(One Radiant Thing)!
Once the Alien God obtains ORT, humanity's defeat will be set in stone!
Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know what ORT was, but the faces of Goredolf and Kadoc beside her had already changed drastically, cold sweat dripping from their fear.
To think it's ORT…?!!
Compared to the Alien God, they feared ORT even more!
The terrifying monster used to stop children from crying in the world of magecraft!
If it hadn't been mentioned now, Goredolf would have still thought it was just a legend.
Before the common era, a cosmic entity flew to South America from outer space. Any living being that approached it would be instantly killed. Even a Grand-class magi who could take on a nation alone could not survive its hands!
Everyone stabilized their emotions and immediately laid out a plan. Regardless of ORT, the primary goal now was to prevent ORT from fusing with the Alien God! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Clues about ORT instantly appeared in everyone's minds.
It was a world-destroying monster summoned from another nebula by the planet's will, Gaia, who sensed its own impending death!
Only, for some reason, the entity arrived a bit early.
A monster that destroys planets? This is practically the top existence under the planet's will, Gaia, right?
Once such a creature revives, how can the people of Chaldea block it? Have the Grands discard their Saint Graphs again?
But up until now, everyone still hadn't seen ORT, and they had no baseline for its strength. However, they were very clear about one thing: since it could traverse the void of space, its physical body shouldn't be weak, right?
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
In the 7th Lostbelt, Golden Sea of Trees, Nahui Mictlān Lostbelt—
Scorching lava erupted from the depths of Mictlan, and a massive spider-like figure tilted its head.
ORT… was it talking about him?
It stared at the humans on the screen, its eyes empty of color. None of them had stirred its appetite yet.

『 Chaldea mobilized rapidly and soon broke through Lostbelt No. 7 via Imaginary Number Dive.
But the moment they entered, everyone was stunned.
A magical energy reaction body, terrifying to the extreme, like a nuclear bomb about to explode, charged toward them!
It wasn't flying in the air, but space-jumping!
In just an instant, that figure had already manifested. The small figure of the Alien God, U-Olga Marie, blocked the path of the massive Imaginary Number Submersible. "And here I was wondering what it was. So it's you guys."
She wore an evil smile. "I was originally going to immediately form a gravity field to crush you all, but celebrate! I'm in a good mood right now. What were they called, Grand Servants?"
"I just collectively dealt with those pinnacles of you humans, the seven Servants of the decisive battle magecraft or whatever." 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone was stunned, momentarily unable to tell if the Alien God was joking or speaking the truth.
Although the Grand Assassin and others were gone, Grands were inherently mysterious existences. If they were gone here, they might be immediately replenished elsewhere.
Just like Merlin before, didn't he also appear as a Grand in Lostbelt No. 6?
So, did the Alien God really just solo seven Grands?!
