The arrogance of man, pitying and despairing of his own kind.
The mystery of man, knowing nothing of his own kind, yet choosing to love.
Both are Evil. Both are the "Evil" that humanity must destroy to survive.
The Sovereign Answer has been given.
Through a miraculous encounter, a soul has been redeemed.
The one who chased hope within the void.
The one who looked upon the Human Order.
If they are irreconcilable—if they have no choice but to destroy one another—
Then there is no room for ideals, for logic, or for pretty words.
There is only the raw reality of two beasts preying upon one another.
If only one future can remain, and only the strong may claim it, then there is no path forward but
through total victory.
Come, let the curtain rise.
Beast I: Goetia.
Beast IF: Rikka Fujimaru.
Ring the opening bell. Let the feast of mutual consumption begin.
The primal struggle for the sake of the future—a war to extinguish the "other."
This is the battle of "Evils," where one future must murder another to exist!
Fate/Grand Order: The Evil Dragon of the Future and the King of Men who Chased Hope
Through her dialogue with Lemegeton—with Aia—Goetia had been shown the answer.
Life is a journey to sing of the preciousness of existence. Death is something to be run through, a
transition that always leaves a legacy behind.
With that answer, the Great Work reaches its end. Three thousand years of refinement, of ambition,
dissipate like mist. Our decrees, our resolve—all vanish into the realm of theory.
…And yet, a strange warmth fills this chest.
She said she would not forget our Work. Our decree.
There is a single soul who looked at us and said, "Thank you."
Lemegeton. A human who harbored innocence and longing, reaching the seat of the Sovereign.
Our hope.
That soul will bridge our existence to the future.
As long as she exists, our resolve will never truly become "naught."
So, this is what gratitude feels like?
Not hostility. Not malice.
To be watched over by a gentle, respectful affection… is it truly this peaceful?
Is this my salvation? The reward for our Great Work?
…But I cannot allow myself to fade away in this lingering warmth.
[OOOOOOOOOOH!]
Rikka Fujimaru is coming. She is closing in.
The artificial "Evil of Humanity" we gave birth to. The culmination of all malice.
I must fight. As the one who cast her life into the abyss of Evil, as the one responsible for creating
this monster.
That is the pride of a Beast. That is my final decision.
Lemegeton. My Sovereign. My hope and my salvation.
I understand the nature of human life now. Having obtained a finite span of time, I finally
comprehend.
I will stop her for the sake of my "Karma."
She will stop me for the sake of her "Will."
I was born this day, and I shall perish this day. With your answer as my sole reward, I will live this
life to the very end.
I entrust the answer and resolve of a "King of Men" to you.
As the "King of Demon Gods," I shall fulfill my final duty here and now.
This brief, yet excruciatingly lovely moment… is the only "true life" ever granted to the one who
called himself Goetia.
—Let us begin, Master of Chaldea. Your victory, your "Evil"—I shall incinerate it with my own hands!
Not as a King of Men…
But as the King of Demon Gods, Goetia!
And I shall proclaim it loudly to the heavensThe name of we who perish here!
Finally, I've made it.
Thanks to everyone, I'm finally here.
The battle to take back everything that was stolen, everything that was destroyed… it starts now.
It was long. So painfully long.
Not a single day went by where I didn't think of what was lost.
I have no intention of forgiving Goetia.
No matter what he does, no matter what noble things he says, he scorched our future. He stole it.
He erased it.
That "tomorrow" belonged to everyone. It was the future that should have been. And—
Hey, Gudoshi. Are you watching?
I finally made it. Everything you gave me, everything you taught me… it wasn't a waste. It had
meaning.
The culture you loved, the anime… they're what saved me.
I've done my best to pass on the things you loved in my own way
I wonder if they'll remember me? That weird Master who saved the world by using moves from
anime and manga?
If they do, then the things you loved—that culture—saved the world. Right?
Did I manage to pay you back? To the world that saved me?
