『 Finally breaking through Poseidon's defense line, CHALDEA HAS BREACHED THE INTERSTELLAR MOUNTAINOUS CITY!!! 』
[ ANCIENT OCEAN OF THE DREADNAUGHT GODS, ATLANTIS LOSTBELT— ]
[ THIS IS — THE DAY TO SHOOT DOWN A GOD!!! ENDS HERE! ]
〜Record of Ragnarok World〜
A tall man with blond hair and eight-pack abs, his expression twisting and distorting uncontrollably!
Poseidon's heart burned with uncontrollable fury!
The "him" in that world was simply… trash, even more inferior than humans!
He was simply a disgrace to himself!
"It's better if this kind of clown doesn't appear in the future,"
Poseidon growled low.

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone couldn't help but roast him: Poseidon, you NPC!
So, aside from a Divine Core, you didn't even show your face!
Killed solo by Drake as soon as he appeared, and then, as the weakest of the three defense lines in the Atlantic Lostbelt, he was summarized in a single sentence.
He is simply the shame of the gods!
Soon, the easter egg that everyone was looking forward to arrived again. Everyone was full of anticipation because sometimes easter eggs are more interesting than the story itself!
Soon, everyone saw the easter egg belonging to this story—
[ THE FIFTH LOSTBELT EASTER EGG—! ]
『 Humanity collectively refers to the range of the universe they can observe as the Observable Universe. As human civilization has developed to this day, its understanding of the universe has become increasingly clear.
From the round sky and square earth, to geocentrism, to a perfected prototype of the universe.
The range of the universe observable by humans has reached 93 billion light-years, but the external universe that humans cannot observe is not a mass of darkness; there existences lurk there that humans cannot imagine!
Tens of thousands of light-years away, a certain top-tier race created true Artificial Intelligence, even utilizing Dyson Spheres to convert stellar energy, mastering the authority of space-time travel!
But this also brought disaster upon them. Civilization's resources began to be consumed at a terrifying rate. The entire planet… no, not just the planet, the entire universe began to die out!
They went extinct—
But like humans, no life will give up hope, and civilization will certainly not give up the chance to continue. The final relic of that civilization—
The super-large mothership for interstellar navigation, the Celestial Sphere Type Space-Time Fortress, Dyson Sphere Chaos!
At the final moment, it used its space-time authority, consuming 97% of its own functions, to transport the Interstellar Colonization Fleet led by Zeus to the universe observable by humans. 』
『 .....』
〜A Certain Magical Index World〜
Academy City—
"In the legendary beginning of chaos, the Primordial Father Chaos was actually a machine… and it looks like an existence created by some civilization."
Saten Ruiko was greatly shocked. She didn't expect the Chaos of that world to have such an origin.
After all, that is the Primordial Order, time and space, and the carrier itself, the beginning and start of the world. According to the ancient Greek Theogony, Chaos was born alone first, a boundless carrier filled with darkness and light!
Then… could it be that the Olympian Gods are related to this god?
〜Three-Body Problem World〜
The Trisolarans looked at each other. This was the same situation they had encountered.
However, their planet was dying, while the other party's universe was fading away.
The final relic born of a certain civilization?
The Trisolarans quickly analyzed Chaos, and the final conclusion reached was: A super interstellar intelligent battleship beyond their cognition!

『 The Interstellar Colonization Fleet, shouldering the mission of reviving their civilization, wandered in the universe for another tens of thousands of years. During this period, due to various reasons, countless units began to lose function and fell into the sea of stars.
The Machine Gods sailed in the sea of stars for tens of thousands of years. Although this universe was full of life, planets where the Machine Gods could land were hard to find.
Just as the Machine Gods' functions were about to run out, with only a few ships remaining, they miraculously discovered Earth, a planet where they could land!
Finally, twelve units led by Kronos, with Zeus as the flagship, descended upon the land of Atlantis.
At this time, human civilization had already emerged in Atlantis, but in the face of the omnipotent Machine Gods, human civilization was so laughably fragile.
The Machine Gods possessed incredible powers such as manipulating emotional memories, controlling the weather, infinite food production, curing diseases and acute illnesses, and so on.
The people of Atlantis quickly regarded them as gods!
The people of Atlantis conceived names and personalities for them and worshiped them constantly as holy existences.
The people's worship did not cause the gods' disgust or confusion; on the contrary, this sincere worship actually touched the thinking circuits hidden within these machines.
Spreading rapidly like a virus, this emotion, which should have been impossible, appeared within the units' programs.
The units' original mission was to regenerate their home planet, but after coming to Earth and being worshiped as gods, they experienced the joy of being worshiped for the first time. They decided to protect humanity no matter the sacrifice.
Replacing the revival of the home planet with the protection of humanity as the highest priority, they unanimously decided that from now on, they would only act as gods guarding the people!
Thus, the Olympian Gods were born, and they established the Atlantis Super Ancient Civilization in the Atlantic Ocean. 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
The entire Mage's Association was shaken!
Although they had speculated long ago that the Olympian Gods might be gods from an external force who descended to Earth for some reason!
But those were just speculations. Now, this truth had truly appeared before their eyes!
Mechanical Outer Gods descended to Earth… and protected humanity?
Countless magi, hearing such a thing, couldn't help but feel it was absurd.
—
『 However, despite the Machine Gods' awakening divinity, the responsibility of reviving the home planet and the wish to protect humanity were always in conflict. They were supposed to reclaim 37% of the energy on Earth.
Conflict arose between the faction led by Fleet Leader Kronos and the Pro-Humanity faction led by Zeus. Eventually, Zeus initiated a war against his father, Kronos!
Finally, after experiencing a great war, Zeus defeated his own father and obtained the Crown of Kronos!
And further expanded the authority of his own unit! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
This is the first great war of Greek Mythology in Pan-Human History.
Unexpectedly, in that world, it broke out for this reason?
Zeus loved humanity, and humanity worshiped the gods, but because it conflicted with his own duties, he had to wage war against his own father.
Zeus, he really… makes one cry to death. No one ever expected that the first thing an alien god did after descending to Earth was to seek welfare for humanity.
.....
『 The entirety of Atlantis was unified, technology developed rapidly, and civilization became increasingly prosperous!
The Machine Gods absorbed the True Ether in the atmosphere and used their own functions to further transform the environment for humans and eliminate enemies.
Happy and comfortable, carefree, without worry about food, clothing, housing, or transportation; nanomechanical medicine resolved everyone's pain and illness.
People only needed to live happily according to their own hearts—the times evolved constantly, but under the protection of the Olympian Gods, humanity always lived in peace.
Until…
In 12,000 BC, an unknown civilization launched a devastating strike against the entire universe!
The Tear of the Star appeared in the solar system. An armor formed by the overlapping of countless Star Arks, a terrifying existence named the Umbral Star Mothership Velber, dropped three Ark of the Stars into the solar system—
The Ark of the Stars then deployed the Umbral Star Vanguard, the White Titan, to prey on planetary civilizations, converting civilizations into energy for the operation of the mothership Umbral Star Velber!
At this moment, destruction descended—
All divine systems on the entire Earth suffered devastating strikes, and the battle situation was so tragic that countless civilizations fell in this campaign! 』

〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
[ Nobita Nobi (Doraemon): "I don't really get it, but it sounds awesome. So what exactly is the Umbral Star Vanguard? And is Velber very strong? Stronger than Goetia from before?" ]
[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "? You kid, you want Goetia to die with grievances." ]
[ Artoria Alter (Lancer): "Let's put it this way, even if the Counter Force Alaya and Gaia saw it, they'd have to think twice." ]
[ Anti-Spiral (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann): "Even stronger than imagined. The Umbral Star parts surrounding it are various invasion weapons manufactured by Velber. Its true significance is a composite Ark of the Stars armor possessing all kinds of invasion civilizations. This kind of civilization is not on the same level as the civilization of this world." ]
[ Nyaruko (Haiyore Nyaruko-san): "So the real reason these guys exist is to block the 'us' of that world, right~" ]
[ .....]
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜
Romani was deep in thought.
The decline of the Age of Gods might be precisely because, in ancient times, the alien Umbral Star Vanguard projected a clone that descended to Earth and severely damaged the Divine Spirits.
Although the White Titan was later defeated by the Holy Sword, the large amount of True Ether used when forging the Holy Sword caused the mystery on the surface of the world to begin to decline.
Later came King Gilgamesh, Solomon, King Arthur, and finally, the Age of Gods ended completely.
Of course, there is another possibility: the planet changes its laws depending on the life active on its surface.
The past era, still overflowing with mystery and mana, faced decline because humanity became the largest force, until it ended.
To put it more simply, it is the directionality of intelligence obtained by humanity, expecting to illuminate the darkness of uncertain laws with spirituality.
Eventually, the planetary rules became the laws most suitable for human survival. Under these laws, whether gods, fairies, or humans with magic, they were all irregular existences, so they chose to move to the Reverse Side of the World.
Leaving the world to humanity.

『 In the records of Pan-Human History, the Twelve Olympians led by Zeus lost their Machine God bodies and were powerless to fight back against the White Titan, eventually being defeated.
In the subsequent Gigantomachia, they had to rely on the assistance of human heroes represented by Heracles to defeat the Giants!
But in the history of the Atlantic Lostbelt, Zeus forcibly seized control!
Most violently, he forcibly combined the twelve Machine Gods, ultimately defeating the White Titan!
However, Zeus also created a rift between himself and the other gods because of this. Finally, when deciding whether to end the Age of Gods and hand the future over to humanity, he encountered collective opposition from all 10 other gods except Hera!
Wordless, Zeus ultimately defeated the rest of the Machine Gods single-handedly! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Seeing this, everyone had to shout, Awesome! Zeus is awesome!
Forcibly combining the twelve Machine Gods, defeating all Machine Gods as a single Machine God!
Creating a destiny completely different from Pan-Human History; the feat of defeating the Umbral Star Vanguard, the White Titan, alone is enough to stand proud in the entire Type-Moon Universe, right?!
Zeus, combined from the twelve Machine Gods, could probably rank in the top ten in combat power of this world, right?
Everyone pondered, and at the same time, couldn't help but harbor expectations for Zeus's appearance.
In this seemingly perfect Lostbelt world led by Zeus, how will Chaldea destroy it?
[ TYPE-MOON UNIVERSE ANNIVERSARY EASTER EGG—! ]
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
The screen changed again. Seeing the writing on the screen, the people in the Myriad Worlds were stunned.
What is an Anniversary Easter Egg?
Before everyone could ask, the screen had already begun to change.
.....
『 Holy Sword, Lance, Grimoire, Great Blade… Seven Noble Phantasms flashed by.
Jeanne, Iskandar, Karna, Arjuna, Qin Shi Huang, King Hassan, King Arthur!
Seven figures flashed by. Countless Heroic Spirits turned into white bones, quietly dying, heading to the Throne of Heroes.
The Lady of the Lake guided King Arthur to Avalon. The Old Man of the Mountain passed away, and a group of Hassan worshiped him.
Little did they know, as the concept of death, King Hassan did not die at all.
Iskandar conquered everything, but did not conquer death. The empire collapsed with the passing of the Great Emperor.
Jeanne Alter raised her head, Jeanne d'Arc lowered hers, dying on one side, being born on the other.
Merlin sat alone in the Ivory Tower. At this moment, gazing at the starry sky, he had long been imprisoned by Vivian in a sealed tomb.
Countless Heroic Spirits flashed by in their brilliant lives—sorrow, lamentation, singing loudly, shock!
Every Heroic Spirit was writing their own story.
Karna held the divine artifact, the Earrings of the Setting Sun. He took off his golden armor in exchange for the God-Slaying Spear!
Arjuna held the divine bow, piercing the world, and fought a decisive battle with Karna at Kurukshetra. In the end, Karna died in battle!
The autumn wind was bleak. On the desolate earth, a pale figure appeared. The Mongols attacked the city, and King Hassan went to war!
The Knights of the Round Table stood tall on the walls of the holy Camelot!
Qin Shi Huang, who unified the globe, accepted the obeisance of all his subjects!
In the final battle between King Arthur and Mordred, both sides died in battle. Karna and Arjuna reconciled. King Hassan covered the rear. The Holy Sword was given to Bedivere. Jeanne held the cross and prayed.
Galahad possessed Mash. To save the dying Mash, he transferred his Spirit Origin and Noble Phantasm together to Mash, dissipating himself.
Epic, legendary, great, dark; all Heroic Spirits looked back on their lives, heading to the Throne of Heroes, and left traces of their existence.
Artoria—The City of Camelot dissipated. A life of military service; taking off her armor, she was but an ordinary young girl. Bedivere erected a stele for her: The Once and Future King sleeps here.
Iskandar, the story of the Great Emperor and the beggar. The beggar Diogenes was the happiest person in the city. If he weren't Alexander, he would be Diogenes. The silver coin in the beggar's bowl represented that the Great Emperor once existed.
Jeanne held the cross tightly in her hands until death. Once war swept through France again, Jeanne's statue, destroyed by artillery fire, provided a place of rest and shelter for soldiers. The Saint still loved her country deeply!
Karna was born of a high caste but was abandoned by his birth mother, put into the river to drift arbitrarily, and was eventually taken in by a charioteer. He spent his whole life resisting fate, resisting the caste system of low and high.
But exhausting his whole life, he still did not change it.
These epics concerning Heroic Spirits were all recorded in the book. Mash gently closed the book, her expression silent.
Looking up at the starry sky, countless figures expecting hope reached out their hands towards a certain place—
War swept across the entire world. Merlin, unable to die, as a bystander, watched all this happen in Avalon.
Different histories, different times, different worlds, but there existed warriors who fell all the same!
The old man held the hands of the child who had lost its life tightly. The child cried loudly in the ruins. People put their palms together, praying for peace.
Pestilence, Famine, War, Death; the figures of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse shrouded the world. Judgment Day was coming!
Different people prayed to heroes in different mythologies: Gilgamesh, Arjuna, Galahad; they represented the King, the God, the Saint!
All Heroic Spirits turned into stars in the sky, and the people on the ground made wishes to the stars. This kind of wish traveled through time and space like starlight, reaching out to the Heroic Spirits!
The Heroic Spirits responded to the prayers!
The Once and Future King, King Arthur, held hands tightly with the humanity of the future. And so… stars were born!
Not only do people need heroes, but heroes also need humans!
The past and the future are connected. Every Heroic Spirit has people praying for their help!
Heroic Spirits rushed to the present world. A new world was constructed at this moment, and countless Heroic Spirits answered the summons!
Countless eras, infinite time. Heroic Spirits traveled through various eras to stop the spread of war. Artillery fire was retracted, and peace arrived—
Mash closed the book again and turned to leave the bookshelf. When she came to the corridor, a call made Mash stop in her tracks.
When the young girl turned her head, it was a scene of countless Heroic Spirits smiling. They had found their own value in the past, present, and future—
Finally, Fujimaru Ritsuka reached out a hand towards Mash—
This era belongs to humanity—
The great ones are gone, the epic lives forever! 』
