"I declare." Holding the Shield of the Round Table, Mash stood before Fujimaru Ritsuka, deploying her Noble Phantasm against Goetia's Third Noble Phantasm. "I shall stand in the seat of calamity; it is our homeland that heals all wounds and all grudges. Manifest, Lord Camelot!"
The chalk castle rose from the ground. The city walls, powered by Mash's inner heart, appeared particularly small and powerless before the massive magical energy of the light bands. However, such a small and powerless existence was the strongest shield at this moment.
"Absurd! This planet has gone mad, and so have you! But! This madness ends here!"
Goetia raised his hands high, and the light bands in the sky erupted with an incoherent power. "The time of birth has come; thus, I correct all things—Ars Almadel Salomonis!"
In that instant, time seemed to stand still.
No material on Earth exists that can withstand the heat of the light bands, but that, after all, belongs to the realm of physical laws.
Anti-Humanity Noble Phantasm: The time of birth has come; thus, I correct all things—Ars Almadel Salomonis.
The activator is the First Original Sin, the light band that heralds the end of humanity.
At first glance, it looks like a halo surrounding the Earth, but it is actually a collection of hundreds of millions of light rays. Each ray possesses destructive power comparable to the Rank-A Noble Phantasm, Excalibur (Sword of Promised Victory). Regrettably, there is nothing on Earth that can surpass the heat of this Noble Phantasm.
Since it is an existence that converts all of human history into heat, by gathering hundreds of millions of these light bands, accelerating and converging them, one can even achieve time travel across vast ages (Reverse Flow Canal/Genesis Light Year).
"What a spectacular sight. Mash's idealistic shield, Goetia's light bands... well then, I should also show some real skill."
Stroking the scabbard of the blood-colored tachi, the blade was unsheathed in the next second. A flash of blood-red light suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes, and the entire world seemed to be left in a crimson hue like a sea of blood.
One strike.
With just one strike, a movement as simple as a child swinging a sword, time and space within the Temple of Time truly came to a standstill. At this moment, no laws or concepts existed anymore; there was only the absolute existence known as Akatsuki Brunestud.
All mysteries lost the meaning of their existence at this moment.
gaia, alaya, Heroic Spirits, Noble Phantasms, Beasts... no existence could possibly defy Akatsuki within this single second; even the thought of resisting could not arise.
This was an incredibly long second, and simultaneously, an eternity.
Severed in two.
As the'second (eternity)' passed, the light bands in the sky broke into two semicircles. The mystery contained within was rapidly vanishing, and the light rays, which were enough to rival the Rank-A Noble Phantasm Excalibur (Sword of Promised Victory), collapsed instantly.
In just the time of a single breath, the light bands suddenly crumbled.
The energy generated by the collapse bombarded Mash's chalk castle; however, this power was ultimately inferior to the complete Third Noble Phantasm, not even matching a single one of its light rays. With the Shield of the Round Table in her hands, she was fully capable of resisting it.
"Impossible!"
Watching the light bands in the sky vanish, leaving only the moon symbolizing the King of the Moon, Goetia let out a voice of disbelief. It was no wonder, after all, the current Akatsuki was a 'monster' from a certain future who had successfully reached the root. If not for the unique nature of the Temple of Time, she probably would never have regained a body no matter how much time passed.
"That was the Proper Human History Incineration Ritual! An existence containing the entirety of human history! Why! Why were you able to dissolve it so easily!"
With a 'bang,' Goetia's massive fist smashed against the barrier not far in front of Akatsuki.
"Step down, Beast of Pity."
A trace of the 'Beast' characteristic emerged from the depths of Akatsuki's soul. That characteristic was not strong but rather very faint, and its appearance on Akatsuki was like an impurity mixed into a diamond.
"The one standing before you now is a true Reacher of the root, the Co-King of Moon and Earth, the King of True Ancestors, the future 'Divine' Beast, the founder of the Final Lostbelt—Chaldeas, the mastermind who replaced Marisbury, and the True Ancestor who has claimed the entire world as her miniature garden, Super Akatsuki!"
With a thought, the Reality Marble, Millennium Castle, began to silently erode the entire Temple of Time. Silver-white chains emerged from the depths of the Millennium Castle, severing Goetia's limbs and dropping him before Akatsuki.
"Goetia, you cannot understand human emotions, and therefore you cannot become the King of Men. Do not worry, the ending of the Final Singularity will follow the original work. Things like memories will be personally erased by me, though Chaldea will have one more doctor on their journey through the Lostbelts."
The plot was pulled back to its original track by Akatsuki. Goetia, having become the King of Men, was now fighting with Fujimaru Ritsuka, who wanted to return to Chaldea, while Akatsuki unhurriedly sat upon the Jade Throne.
The Jade Throne of the Temple of Time could no longer satisfy her. After the Millennium Castle completely covered the Temple of Time, she would use it as a foundation to create a Lostbelt covering the entire Earth, completely shattering Marisbury's plan to become the true King of the Lostbelt.
Silver-white chains and unknown materials gradually covered the Jade Throne. Let the modification of the Temple of Time begin with the Throne.
Every story needs an ending, after all. As for the boss in the ending, it was just a whim of Super Akatsuki. However, if Gudako really couldn't defeat her, it wasn't impossible for her to turn the Earth into her own miniature garden. After all, she was fundamentally a hedonist; upon entering the root, everything except that part of her soul that didn't belong to this world had been erased.
A hollow hedonist eventually became a monster chasing pleasure—perhaps not a monster, but just a seeker of fun. However, a fun-seeker with no ethics or humanity and possessing great power is a catastrophe for the world.
She separated the version of herself that had not entered the root and sent her back to her original world. That world was at a critical period of world-line transition. Although it might cause her to get lost in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, it wasn't a big problem; Super Akatsuki believed that Akatsuki would not die in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.
"The Root is still too early for you. You should continue to uphold your'Super Qiang' theory."
"'Super Qiang' Theory: The more young ladies you conquer, the stronger you become. (Note: Only applicable to Akatsuki himself; however, in reality, this theory doesn't exist at all. It was originally just something Akatsuki said randomly to flirt, and later became an excuse for flirting.)"
