Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash ran forward; at this moment, the battle had already begun.
Blocking the path in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash and the others was not the Flauros Demon God that Lev had transformed into, but another Demon God Pillar.
"Activate! Activate!" Demon God Naberius blocked the path in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, saying in a very calm tone: "The nine pillars governing the lava mines."
"Namely, Zepar, Botis, Bathin, Saleos, Purson, Morax, Ipos, and Aim."
"We nine pillars are well-versed in music."
"We nine pillars compose songs."
"Risking the name of the [seventy-two demon gods], we must absolutely not let this light be extinguished!!!!"
Nine Demon God Pillars rose from the ground; they were the existences guarding this place, or rather, they were substituting for Lev to deal with the Chaldea group.
"Confirming nine enemy Demon God Pillars." Mash looked at the Demon God Pillars in front, her expression quite grim as she said: "Dealing with this number of opponents with just us..."
"Mm... it's a bit of a stretch." Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression was also somewhat subtle.
However, at this time, Jeanne d'Arc and the others had finished dealing with the Demon God Pillars and walked to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, smiling: "What are you saying? For you, this level of Demon God Pillar is something you've long been accustomed to."
"Exactly."
A man holding a greatsword appeared; he was called Siegfried, a dragon-slaying hero. He stood beside Fujimaru Ritsuka and said in a very calm voice: "Although this is my first time seeing it with my own eyes, the fact that you all have been fighting against such things is truly admirable."
"And I must express my respect to you; although you should be able to break through this trial on your own, please allow me to intervene in the battle."
"Ms. Jeanne! Mr. Siegfried!" Mash was very happy to see the two of them arrive.
"Long time no see!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka also greeted the two, a trace of nostalgia flashing in her eyes; ever since the first Singularity, she had once again met these two reliable Heroic Spirits.
Jeanne d'Arc responded with a smile, but soon, she looked at the Demon God Pillars in front: "We will contain this sector of space; please give us your orders, Fujimaru Ritsuka of Chaldea!"
"Compared to that vicious witch, the Demon God Pillars are simply not worth mentioning!"
"At this very moment, it is time for us, the Anti-Evil Dragon Alliance, to repay you for your performance in Orleans!!!"
Just as Jeanne d'Arc's voice fell, other Heroic Spirits appeared one after another behind her; clearly, they had just cleared out a batch of Demon God Pillars and had now rushed over to rendezvous.
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the Demon God Pillars in front and the Heroic Spirits by her side, and she loudly issued her orders: "Then, let's all go together! The enemy is nine Demon God Pillars!"
"Yes! Senpai!!!" Mash nodded seriously, and the other Heroic Spirits smiled slightly and immediately charged toward the nine Demon God Pillars ahead.
"Boom——!!!"
The great battle was on the verge of breaking out, but before the two sides had been in contact for even half a minute, the Demon God Pillar side was retreating steadily, and their massive bodies had been blown up who knows how many times.
"Unheard of!!!!" Demon God Zepar let out an incredulous sound; he couldn't believe it: "I've never heard of such a prediction! What on earth is the Control Bureau doing!"
"Impeach! Impeach! Impeach!"
"If it weren't for the negligence that allowed the invasion, we nine pillars wouldn't be suppressed by these Heroic Spirits! There is clearly a flaw in the design!!!"
Zepar's voice contained a trace of disbelief and anger; being suppressed by so-called Heroic Spirits was simply impossible.
"Oh my~" A girl wearing a kimono appeared; she waved the fan in her hand, and scorching flames killed toward Zepar, while she pursed her lips and smiled: "To actually ignore your own immaturity is too unsightly; that so-called Control Bureau is not wrong."
"As long as it is for my Master, I, Kiyohime, can chase to the ends of the earth and the edge of the universe~ All of this is caused by a maiden's love!"
"Mm-hmm!"
Standing next to the kimono-wearing girl was also a pink-haired girl holding a microphone; she was called Elizabeth. At this moment, she looked at Zepar with quite a bit of disdain: "It's truly outrageous to push your own inadequacies onto the people above! Go back and start over from underground activities!!!"
"Besides~ to have 71 backup dancers just like yourself is truly tasteless; the performance will be a mess, right!"
"Since you are in the center position, don't just say discouraging things! You should be like the Master over there!"
"You're three years too early to go against this lady! Reform yourself and start over!"
Just as she finished speaking, the pink-haired girl let out a shout; a roar like a dragon echoed through this area, instantly killing Zepar on the spot!
On the ground, Gilles de Rais, wearing a suit of silver armor, looked at the situation before him and said to Jeanne d'Arc very calmly: "Although we have the upper hand on the surface, the enemy is still unfathomably deep."
"With such an elite force, we are still unable to open a gap in the enemy formation; my flag's defense alone is still too weak."
As he spoke, Gilles de Rais looked at Jeanne d'Arc beside him, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth: "Can you lend me a hand? Jeanne?"
"Mm." Standing beside Gilles, Jeanne d'Arc also revealed a smile; she looked at the Heroic Spirits fighting the Demon God Pillars ahead and said earnestly: "In a battle between you and me, when has there ever been an unbreakable formation!"
"Let's go! Gilles! Now is the time to put our vows into practice here!"
Jeanne d'Arc thrust the flag in her hand into the ground, and a golden light emerged from her body; she shouted loudly: "My Lord is here!!!"
Gilles de Rais placed one hand on his chest; he looked at the flag in front and shouted loudly: "Gather under the holy flag and roar!!!!"
"Hum——!!!!!!"
Accompanied by the dual Noble Phantasm enhancement of the two, the golden light instantly enveloped all the Heroic Spirits present, which boosted their power by a significant margin.
"Bang bang bang——!!!"
At this moment, all the Demon God Pillars present were killed; unlike before, when they were killed one by one, this time nine pillars were wiped out in one go.
"..."
Demon God Naberius was silent for a moment, and then he said calmly: "Terminal unit diffusion confirmed, connection with the Throne is severed, starting to dedicate to self-restoration."
"Zepar, Botis, Bathin, Saleos——————Resurrection!"
"Purson, Morax, Ipos, Aim——————Resurrection!"
Following Demon God Naberius's words, the eight Demon God Pillars that had been wiped out earlier appeared once again.
Demon God Naberius also quickly resurrected; he looked down at the Heroic Spirits below and continued calmly: "Smelting furnace Naberius, restart! Expel enemy Servants!"
"As expected."
At this time, Dr. Roman at Chaldea saw this scene and said somewhat helplessly: "No matter how we defeat them, the number has not decreased at all."
"It seems that is indeed the case." Siegfried stood beside Fujimaru Ritsuka and heard Dr. Roman's voice; he said calmly: "If we don't defeat him fundamentally, this creature seems to be immortal."
From just a moment ago, Siegfried and the other Servants had killed the Demon God Pillars more than once, but the other party's infinite resurrections left even them quite helpless.
"But, we can reduce his power." Jeanne d'Arc walked over; she looked at those resurrected Demon God Pillars and said earnestly: "As long as we keep repeating the process of being defeated by us and self-restoring, these Demon God Pillars will be unable to do anything else."
"Yes, that's right~ Jeanne!" Da Vinci also popped up at this time and said: "The magical energy provided by this stronghold to the Throne has already stopped."
"At the very least, it means the nine pillars here can no longer return to the central Throne!"
"~" Jeanne d'Arc heard Da Vinci's words and revealed a smile; she turned around and looked at the Demon God Pillars in front, saying earnestly: "Then there is only one thing we need to do! If the Demon God Pillars will resurrect endlessly, then we should continue to exert all our power to suppress them!"
"The path through the Throne will be opened by us; everyone from Chaldea, please continue moving forward!"
"May the blessing and the protection of the Lord be with you along the way."
Seeing Jeanne d'Arc say this, Fujimaru Ritsuka naturally nodded slightly and said very earnestly: "Of course, leave it to me; everyone, please be careful too."
"Thank you very much, Ms. Jeanne."
Leaving these words behind, Mash immediately took Fujimaru Ritsuka and rushed toward the other side.
In another stronghold, facing the powerful offensive of the Heroic Spirits, the Demon God guarding this place finally appeared.
He was precisely Flauros, who had just attacked Fujimaru Ritsuka; after being destroyed just now, he had returned to his post, resisting those Heroic Spirits who had suddenly appeared.
Demon God Flauros: "Activate! Activate! The nine pillars governing the intelligence room!"
"Namely, Orias, Valac, Zagan, Valefor."
"Andras, Andrealphus, Cimejes, Amdusias."
"We nine pillars comprehend texts."
"We nine pillars chant phenomena."
"By the name of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, we absolutely cannot allow this research to vanish!!!!"
Demon God Flauros and the other nine Pillars appeared. Fighting them were the Roman Legions led by Nero, as well as the Roman Emperors.
The scene was intensely chaotic. Jin acted like a supportive mother, allowing Luis and Spartacus to unleash their destructive capabilities to the maximum extent.
The young King of Conquerors, Alexander, Darius III, and El-Melloi II
opened a path for Fujimaru Ritsuka from another location.
Including... Attila, who had been summoned at some point. She released her Noble Phantasm—Tear Drop Photon Ray.
This severely wounded Flauros and the other nine Demon God Pillars, causing them to lose the ability to resist for a short period.
Seizing this opportunity, Nero looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash and said, "Um! This is the final battle!"
"However, before that, leave this place to me and my Roman Legions!"
"You must continue forward, Fujimaru Ritsuka! The world will never end, for all roads lead to our Seven Hills!"
"Go forward! Go forward!! Your progress will ultimately open up the world of tomorrow!!!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, walking alongside Mash, and shouted back, "ROMA—!!!"
"See you later, Miss Nero!!!" Mash obediently replied, then rushed non-stop toward the next stronghold.
As Fujimaru Ritsuka arrived at the next stronghold, a deafening self-introduction rang out again.
"Activate, activate!" Demon God Forneus spoke calmly, "The nine Pillars in charge of the Observatory."
"Namely, Glasya-Labolas, Bune, Ronove, and Beliath."
"Astaroth, Foras, Asmodeus, and Gaap."
"We nine Pillars lament time."
"We nine Pillars pursue phenomena."
"By the name of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, we absolutely cannot accept the termination of this integration..."
Before Forneus could finish speaking, a gunshot interrupted his speech.
The nine Demon God Pillars emerged, and they simultaneously looked toward the source of the gunshot.
On a ship floating in the sea of stars, Drake stood at the bow, shouting loudly at the Demon God Pillars, "Hold on a minute! From this moment to the future, from now to the past, it all belongs to us!"
"Simply put, this entire place is our territory, and that includes your lives—you'll leave them all here!"
As she spoke, Drake smiled and said, "It's nothing. I know saying this right after arriving is a bit shameless, but what can I do? We're pirates, after all!"
"Ohhhhhhhhhh—!!!!"
Aboard Drake's Golden Hind and Stormy Night, countless pirates let out deafening cheers.
Just then, a pirate shouted, "Boss, a new ship has appeared on the port side! That's the Queen Anne's Revenge!"
"Ah, I see." Drake said, showing no surprise. "So that guy showed up too. Annoying, but reliable."
"Hey!"
Drake looked at the Queen Anne's Revenge nearby and shouted, "Blackbeard! Did you hear that?! You take that side!!!"
Aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, Blackbeard appeared. He gave a rather tsundere snort and said seriously, "The one who defeats you should be me. I can't let this task be completed by anyone else."
"Swoosh—!!!!!"
Just then, a magical energy beam shot over, and Blackbeard quickly dodged it.
Accompanied by an explosion, Demon God Forneus said with great disdain, "Especially not you."
Clearly, Blackbeard was a Heroic Spirit that even the Demon God Pillars couldn't approve of.
This infuriated Blackbeard to no end, and he even tried to teach the Demon God Pillar how to be 'human.' However, as punishment, more magical energy beams and light rays assaulted him.
Blackbeard and Drake began fighting side-by-side against the nine Demon God Pillars, but this alone was not enough; more Heroic Spirits were needed.
"Ah I'm here~~"
Following that phrase, a small bear holding a wooden club, resembling a puppet, appeared.
"Hey, you!"
Along with the appearance of the small bear, a goddess with an excellent figure also made her entrance. This was Artemis, and as soon as she appeared, she said very seriously, "Don't greet me in the tone of a childhood friend visiting a college student living alone!!!"
"!!!!" Seeing Artemis appear, Orion curled his lips, looking utterly helpless. "Damn it, she's here... she's actually here..."
"Speaking of which!" Orion looked at Artemis with bloodshot eyes and shouted, "Isn't it about time you let me return to my original form, Little Lady Artemis!!!"
"Coming to this Temple in this appearance feels super inappropriate!!!!"
"The eyeballs of those octopus-legged gentlemen over there are definitely staring at us with a 'What the heck is that thing?' look! It must be!"
"It's not like that! This is a misunderstanding!!! Besides, this is all the fault of this careless, frivolous goddess!"
Clearly, Orion desperately wanted to appear in his true form, not this ridiculous figure.
But there was nothing he could do. With this willful goddess around, he couldn't appear in his true form at all. For now, he obediently lay on Artemis's head, watching her launch an offensive against the Demon God Pillars.
Meanwhile, a ship quietly appeared on the other side. A blond man on the deck shouted loudly, "Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!!!! Heya! Ugh! Wow!! Damn it!!!"
"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, no! I can't survive, I'm dead!!!"
"Beast! Damn idiot! What the hell was I thinking!!"
"A chance... to restore my honor... I actually lost my mind for a moment over this and got summoned to a place like this!"
This blond man was naturally Jason, who had once transformed into a Demon God Pillar. He shouted in utter despair, "I am a Heroic Spirit who fights using wisdom and courage!"
"I respectfully decline to participate in a battlefield where the enemy's combat power is ten times greater than ours!"
"Ah, I hate this! I want an easy victory! So I'm going back!!! That kind of mindless strategy is my specialty!!!"
At this moment, the girl Medea, holding her staff, said helplessly, "Um, Lord Jason, didn't you come here because you felt obligated to answer this call?"
"It was an impulse, just an impulse!!!" Jason shouted hysterically, but then quickly looked at Medea and retorted, "I was practically dragged here by you!"
"Now I can slightly understand Heracles' feelings—no, not understanding, but resonance!"
"Damn Goddess Hera, why am I still tied to you even after ascending to a Heroic Spirit."
"Again! Again!!! I recommend a do-over!!" Jason looked at the battle situation before him and shouted sincerely, "I really want to adventure again in a state where I'm strong and knowledgeable!!!"
"It's alright!"
At this moment, the girl Medea said very seriously, "I will protect Lord Jason!! Besides, Mr. Hector is here too, right?!"
On the other side, Hector appeared and smiled, "Alright, alright. I'm quite good at defensive battles, so I can secure the safety of the Argo for a short time."
"Huh?!"
At this moment, Jason made an extremely exaggerated expression and shouted, "Are you two idiots? Medea aside, Hector! Has your brain stopped working too?! And you call yourself the Guardian of Troy?!"
With a wave of his hand, Jason pointed at the man standing like an iron tower beside him and said seriously, "You, and Medea too, hurry and go cover Heracles!"
"To ensure this guy can focus entirely on attacking, you need to completely eliminate all disruptive elements!"
At this moment, both Medea and Hector were shocked. What was going on with Jason?!!!
The girl Medea voiced her confusion: If the two of them left, what would happen to the ship?! Wouldn't it be completely destroyed?! Their opponents were Demon God Pillars.
Jason scolded mercilessly, "If we do that, the chance of victory won't even be one in ten thousand, you brainless fool! Listen up! This is a simple math problem."
"Compared to turning 1 into 10, it's obviously much stronger to turn 10 into 100!!!!"
"Even if the Argo becomes a 10, the only outcome is utter destruction! Instead of that, turning Heracles into a 100 is ten thousand times better!"
"Right, Heracles." Jason looked at the man standing like an iron tower beside him and asked, "Even without reason, you can understand battle, right? You must understand what I mean!"
"..." Heracles did not speak; he simply showed a smile.
"That's right!" Seeing Heracles smile, Jason nodded, then looked at the girl Medea and Hector, who still looked surprised, and said, "Hurry and go cover Heracles! I'll wait here!"
"Although it's bothersome, I'll let you witness how to freely control the sails!"
"Sigh..."
At this moment, the girl Medea sighed. She looked at Hector's expression of disbelief and said, "Hector looks completely incredulous."
"This is Lord Jason. If Lord Jason gets carried away, he certainly falls flat easily. But conversely, if he is placed in a dying predicament, in a desperate state where he has no choice but to sacrifice his life—"
"For some reason! His mind becomes incredibly calm and clear! And he becomes very handsome!"
At this moment, Hector finally understood why he was connected to Jason—so this was the reason!!!
When forced into a desperate situation and falling into self-abandonment, he displays the essence of a hero—in this regard, he is exactly like his younger brother.
Because of this, the girl Medea looked at Heracles and said, "I, Medea, will fully power you up!! Let the enemies witness the strength of the famous hero from your myths!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl Medea applied a buff to Heracles, instantly pushing his saint graph to maximum capacity. He himself let out a deafening roar.
Following this, the three—the girl Medea, Hector, and Heracles—began their assault on the Demon God Pillars.
Not long after the three left, another Medea appeared. This one was the genuine article.
This caused Jason to let out a scream like a groundhog. However, she wasn't there to take his life, but rather to help him resist the Demon God Pillars' attacks.
Allowing him, Jason, to freely control the Argo to disrupt the enemy, even if it only bought one extra second.
"Damn it!!!" Jason roared like this, shouting while controlling the Argo, "This is a nightmare!! There are two of them!! Two at once!!! If this is a dream, please let me wake up quickly!!"
While Jason was roaring, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash had quietly hurried to the next stronghold.
Because, with the help of the Heroic Spirits at this stronghold, the nine Demon God Pillars were completely tied up.
Outside the video.
Naruto: Akatsuki Organization.
"Good!! Very good!!!! Hahahahaha!!!!! This is true Art!!!!"
Watching so many Heroic Spirits fight the Demon God Pillars, Deidara fell into a state of extreme fervor.
It was amazing. Everything was truly amazing.
It was a pity he couldn't join that battlefield, or else he would also release his strongest move without a second thought, just like Attila. Since he had already died once, it didn't matter anyway.
If Deidara really could join this battle, he would probably accumulate energy immediately and show the Demon God Pillars what true Art was.
Art is! EXPLOSION!!!!!!!!
"..."
Sasori watched Deidara speechless, knowing his companion had fallen into a frenzy at this moment.
So Sasori said very calmly, "But I truly didn't expect those Heroic Spirits to respond to Fujimaru Ritsuka. Those shooting stars... they are truly beautiful."
He had to admit that recalling the moment the Heroic Spirits descended, a part of the 'Art' in Sasori's heart quietly collapsed.
Perhaps eternity was not truly beautiful; perhaps the concept of handing the future over to the next generation was the real Art.
If, at some point in the future, disaster struck the Ninja World, could he transform into a shooting star and become one of the Ninja protecting it?
Thinking of this, Sasori's heart quietly stirred. Although he maintained his cold exterior, his 'heart' began to beat again.
"Yes, it is beautiful."
Even Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't help but praise the sight: "Those historically famous Heroic Spirits came to help Fujimaru Ritsuka for that connection. In a sense, it's quite enviable."
Itachi did not speak. He watched everything quietly; there was no need for more words now.
"This is humanity."
Pain also spoke with emotion, "Even so-called gods would pale in comparison to such humans."
Pain had always believed that only 'God' was qualified to interfere with humanity and bring peace.
Now, it seemed that Fujimaru Ritsuka, at the very least, had shown Pain the true resolve of 'ordinary humans.'
A resolve that even the gods couldn't resist wanting to help.
How beautiful! Such humans, such a world!
One-Punch Man World.
"Charge!!! Kill!!!! Let's kill these squid monsters!!!"
At Saitama's home, Tatsumaki was exceptionally excited, dancing with her hands and feet as if she herself were participating in the battle.
"I see, so that's what the stars meant." Genos realized belatedly. He had been thinking about the Human Order Incineration since the beginning.
He hadn't paid any attention to the'stars' mentioned by Medea and the Artoria Pendragon. Instead, he was intently staring at Dr. Roman, trying to find some flaw in him based on what Holmes had said.
Only now did Genos realize that the'stars' Medea and the Artoria Pendragon spoke of were the Heroic Spirits, whom Fujimaru Ritsuka had connected with through the bonds formed across the seven Singularities.
She successfully linked with so many Heroic Spirits, allowing them to cross time and space to come and help her.
This wasn't just fate; it was also due to her inherent charisma, just like King Hassan who appeared in Seventh Singularity.
King Hassan was drawn to Seventh Singularity by Fujimaru Ritsuka; he was considered one of the 'accidents' of that era.
"It's dazzling, isn't it, Genos?"
Saitama, meanwhile, wore a rather happy smile. Seeing so many Servants helping Fujimaru Ritsuka, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.
After all, the previous scene was utterly despairing; relying solely on Mash meant no one could support Fujimaru Ritsuka and Chaldea.
Now, watching the Heroic Spirits rush in like shooting stars, Saitama honestly felt that it was precisely because people like Fujimaru Ritsuka existed...
...that humanity could survive, no matter how difficult things became in any world.
"Yes."
Hearing Saitama's words, Genos nodded in agreement and said seriously, "It is indeed very dazzling. However, I didn't expect those Heroic Spirits to appear all at once during the final battle. But those Demon God Pillars are also extremely powerful."
"Although they are being suppressed, they are still constantly resurrecting and fighting the Heroic Spirits."
"It probably won't be long before these Heroic Spirits disappear, so we must seize this moment to head to the Throne and defeat Solomon, the King of Mages."
Genos's expression was very serious. Even he, an 'outsider,' could clearly see that the Heroic Spirits could not sustain the fight for long.
Even if the Demon God Pillars stopped resisting, the Heroic Spirits would likely vanish soon enough.
"It's the same thing."
Tatsumaki looked at Genos exasperatedly and said, "Didn't that Lev guy say it? It's a 'critical moment' now, and they wouldn't dare let those Heroic Spirits rush into the Throne."
"Although I don't know exactly what their plan is, this is a highly critical moment. Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash need to go to that place."
"If they successfully stop Solomon, the King of Mages, then all is well, and Human Order Incineration ends. If they fail, the world is destroyed. Those are the best and worst outcomes."
"As for how to deal with Solomon, the King of Mages, I feel like Dr. Roman is about to make his entrance. After all, his trump card wasn't used when Fujimaru Ritsuka was in the direst danger; it must be used when fighting Solomon later."
Yes, this was almost self-evident.
"In my opinion, this divine reversal is nothing special," Tatsumaki said with a smile, crossing her arms. "Since I've already guessed the subsequent plot, this divine reversal can't shock me."
"Really?" Saitama quietly muttered, looking at Tatsumaki's confident appearance. "But I feel like the real divine reversal is yet to come."
"Hmph! Human Order Incineration is ending, what other divine reversal could there be?"
Tatsumaki said, feeling quite unconvinced, "If you insist, the most that could happen is a character death! Just like Riku and Shuvi."
"We'll find out if we keep watching." Saitama didn't argue with Tatsumaki, as it was pointless. They just needed to keep watching.
The video continued playing.
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash prepared to move to the next stronghold.
At the next stronghold, Demon God Barbatos appeared. She looked like a strawberry sundae, possessing a certain aesthetic beauty.
Demon God Barbatos spoke with a very calm voice: "Activate! Activate! The Nine Pillars overseeing the control tower."
"Namely, Paimon, Buer, Gusion, Sitri."
"Bileth, Leraje, Eligos, Gäap."
"We Nine Pillars, assist the General Manager."
"We Nine Pillars, maintain the terminal."
"In the name of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, we absolutely cannot allow the cessation of unification..."
The moment Barbatos finished speaking, accompanied by the sound of crimson thunder, a terrifying beam of light slammed directly into her. This Demon God Pillar, who had just appeared, was thus brutally slain!
"Ha!"
A familiar figure appeared—a girl in armor. She stood on Barbatos's corpse, holding a greatsword, and mocked, "Too bad, Demon Gods! If organization is the duty of you nine!"
"Then hacking things to pieces is my jurisdiction! Even the glorious Round Table, I will personally cleave apart!"
The newcomer was Mordred. After saying this, she fell into a brief moment of melancholy and said silently, "...That's right, because the end always comes, no matter what."
"Even the glorious and proud Royal City will eventually collapse."
"Even the knights who bear swords and armor will eventually all perish."
"The world, too, will eventually meet its end one day."
"But, not by you. Wait!" Mordred raised her head, looking at the Demon God Pillars ahead, and said seriously, "The world's ending probably doesn't look like this. It's you who should be ending."
"Besides, you've already incinerated things thoroughly enough by yourselves, haven't you?"
"So let's end this! I—will send you to hell!"
As Mordred spoke those words, her comrades who had fought alongside her previously appeared by her side.
Frankenstein appeared next to Mordred, growling, with green electrical sparks flashing across her body.
Nicola Tesla also made a brilliant entrance.
Babbage, standing guard at the front, used his steel body to withstand the attacks of the Demon God Pillars.
Finally, there was Sakata Kintoki. He first made a magnificent entrance, then underwent a saint graph modification, transforming from the burly man wielding a giant axe into a biker wearing a leather jacket and riding a motorcycle.
Just like that, the battle resumed.
When Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash arrived, Mordred had once again finished off Demon God Barbatos, complaining that the opponent didn't even have a heart inside.
Then, looking at the resurrected Demon God Barbatos, Mordred grumbled, "Seriously, this is practically endless!"
Mordred then shouted to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, "We finally opened up a path, hurry and go, Fujimaru Ritsuka!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Mordred. In all the battlefields, their location seemed to be the most difficult one. According to Dr. Roman, the other areas were being handled quite easily.
So, at this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to stay and help Mordred.
Mordred seemed to understand immediately and said to Fujimaru Ritsuka, "What's with that expression? Can't you move your feet? Then I'll be blunt."
"You'll only get in our way here! What comes next is a war of attrition, a long battle!"
"A human who can only use a little bit of magecraft is just a nuisance! A nuisance!!!"
Jekyll looked as if he wanted to speak but stopped, knowing those words were equally devastating to him. However, he smiled at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said, "Mordred is right, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash, hurry up and go."
"We should be responsible for this stronghold. You two have somewhere you need to be, don't you?"
Before Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash could nod in agreement.
At this moment, Shakespeare and Andersen emerged.
Shakespeare smiled and said, "Since you put it that way, although my heart is reluctant, there's nothing for it! This humble person must take his leave to witness the story's conclusion!"
"I totally agree! Playwright!" Andersen also nodded profoundly in agreement. "I'm starting to get tired of this battle line."
"It's endless assisting and shouting for Heroic Spirits. If I end up with tenosynovitis as a Heroic Spirit, how are you going to compensate me?!!"
"But I haven't encountered that yet. Well then, keep fighting with all your might, former family head and all you retainers."
As soon as he finished speaking, Andersen and Shakespeare prepared to leave.
Mordred looked at the two of them and immediately shouted, "I wasn't talking about you! No, strictly speaking, you two are quite bothersome too."
"But, well." At this moment, Mordred recalled the various buffs applied to her during the recent fight and couldn't help but smile slightly. "The support you occasionally give us is actually very useful. We'd have a headache if you weren't here."
"..." Shakespeare and Andersen were silent for a moment, then said in unison, "That's why I hate serialization!"
"Stop clicking your tongues in unison, you idiots!" Mordred complained, looking at the pair. "Your writing styles are completely different, yet you're too close!!!"
"Enough."
However, Andersen understood the importance of the big picture at this moment. He looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash and said, "Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Mash Kyrielight."
"Although I really want to see the deepest part of the Temple of Time, as you can see, I'm busy gathering material here."
"Keep going, Fujimaru Ritsuka, or are you waiting for us to say it?"
"Waiting for me to say that line that has been repeated countless times in countless heroic legends."
Hearing Andersen's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash were stunned.
"That line!" Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to realize something.
Mash also said expectantly, "Could it be?!!!"
"Ah!" Andersen was quite displeased. He looked at the two in front of him and said, "You intentionally threw that line to me, didn't you, you fool!"
"Excellent!"
Shakespeare, meanwhile, became interested. He looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash and said, "Then I shall meet your expectations!"
"Go! Leave this place to us, and continue onward—!!!!"
"We're counting on you, everyone!" Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not linger. She looked at Mash beside her and said seriously, "Let's head to the next stronghold!"
"Hurry up." Andersen also smiled, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's retreating back, and said, "The salvation is up to you."
