[ Watching the Heroic Spirits from different Singularities rush onto the battlefield one after another, Goetia showed not the slightest hint of nervousness.
"Very well. The journey to the pole does not require you! Although it is a bit rushed, you should hurry up and die!"
Facing Goetia's arrogant remarks, Nero bore the brunt of the assault, waving her long sword to engage in a fierce clash with Goetia.
CLANG—! CLANG—!
Accompanied by the sound of blades colliding, Goetia, using only a single arm, parried Nero with ease, even seizing the opportunity to prepare a counterattack.
Just then, Enkidu, floating in the air, immediately opened his palm towards Goetia, and golden ripples emerged around him: "Don't even think about it!"
Several chains shot out from the golden ripples, firmly locking Goetia in place!
Seeing such a conspicuous target for bombardment, Drake, piloting her pirate ship through the air, also grinned: "Golden Wild Hunt!"
Several cannon barrels extended from purple halos, and beam after beam of light heavily bombarded Goetia's body. ]

〜One Piece World〜
"Sugoi—what a cool ship!"
Luffy stared at the Golden Hind with shining eyes.
Looking at that handsome flying ship, Zoro also seemed a bit moved:
"I didn't expect there to be Heroic Spirit pirates. It seems that the world is quite interesting."
As the saying goes, the sea is a man's romance; no man can refuse a ship that can soar freely in the sky.
Hearing this, Usopp shrank his neck in fear and immediately retorted to Zoro:
"Hey! How could it possibly be interesting?"
That world involves world destruction at the drop of a hat. It's much scarier than their own world. One slip up, and you probably wouldn't even know how you died…
But obviously, Luffy couldn't care less about that. He was clamoring like a child wanting to play with the cannons:
"Let me fire a shot, please… let me play with that cannon!"
Seeing Luffy like this, Nami angrily punched him down:
"You idiot, just think about it, you know that's impossible!"
Play with the cannon? There's a whole world separating you two. Do you intend to ask her to sail the ship over here? Where would she even sail to?
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜
In the Second Singularity of Eternal Madness Empire: Septem—
"Umu… It seems Yu was negligent!"
Watching the magnificent Noble Phantasm performances of Drake and Enkidu, Nero pouted in annoyance.
This was clearly Yu's stage, yet the limelight was stolen by them. What is this? If I had known, Yu would have just unleashed my Noble Phantasm right from the start!
If I hadn't held back, my attacks wouldn't have all been blocked by Goetia with a single hand. This truly damages Yu's dignity as the Roman Emperor.
What a waste of such a good stage. Next time, I must display Yu's Aestus Domus Aurea and let everyone experience Umu's unparalleled singing skills.
Holding onto such thoughts, Nero unconsciously laughed, looking quite eager to try.
.....
[ "Boom, boom, boom—" Accompanied by a series of explosions, Goetia's unscathed figure flew out from the smoke and dust.
He raised his hand, grabbed Enkidu's calf, and smashed him onto the ship's sail.
After doing all this, Goetia turned and charged towards Fujimaru below. As long as the Master disappears, all obstacles will be easily resolved.
Facing the incoming Goetia, Jeanne d'Arc didn't have time to think too much. She raised the holy flag emblazoned with the iris flower high.
"LUMINOSITÉ ETERNELLE—!"
⦍God is Here With Me⦎
Accompanied by a golden light on the ground, a huge blue shield instantly wrapped firmly around Mash and the others, even managing to bounce Goetia away. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Throwing Enkidu onto the canvas… President Goetia… I have to say, you are so gentle."
Seeing Goetia being bounced away, people in other worlds had to lament that Jeanne's shield was truly useful. Holding a holy flag, simply walking anywhere, provided a full sense of security.
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜
In the 7th Singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
Watching this scene, Gilgamesh also deduced a piece of intelligence:
"It seems Goetia's divinity is not high, or he has no divinity at all. Otherwise, it would be impossible to break free from the restraints of Enkidu(Chains of Heaven) so easily!"
"Wait, something's wrong!"
Ishtar shoved her face close to Gilgamesh on the throne and taunted him:
"Goetia is beating your best friend like that, and you still haven't shown up? What were you doing?"
Everyone was contributing to help Fujimaru and came to this Temple of Time, but he hadn't appeared from start to finish!
Moreover, given the friendship between Enkidu and Gilgamesh, which was so close that they practically wore the same pair of pants, there was no reason for him to be absent while Enkidu was there, right?
"…"
Looking at Ishtar's mocking face, the corner of Gilgamesh's mouth twitched. How was this King supposed to know what he was doing?
.....
[ The bounced-away Goetia took this opportunity to smash a heavy fist down towards Nero below. Nero hurriedly raised her sword to parry, followed by a loud bang!
BANG—!
Although Nero barely blocked this blow, Goetia's terrifying power far exceeded her imagination, and she gradually began to lose her footing!
Just then, a loud shout was heard by her ear.
"CLARENT BLOOD ARTHUR—!!"
⦍Rebellion Against My Beautiful Father⦎
A beam of light resembling red lightning struck from a distance. Goetia could only shift his target, raising his hand to block the attack.
The arrival was none other than the somewhat rebellious Mordred: "Yo… take this!!"
Mordred immediately launched a joint assault with Nero, but they only lasted a few rounds before being kicked away.
Nero was also grabbed by Goetia with one hand and smashed heavily into the wall.
Even though both were among the best of Heroic Spirits, they were still ruthlessly rubbed against the ground by Goetia.
During the stalemate, Bedivere rushed up, gripping his glowing right arm.
"SWITCH ON - AIRGETLÁM—!!"
⦍O Silver Arm, Take Up Thy Sword⦎
He thrust the Silver Arm straight at Goetia's back, but the effect was minimal, and he was easily flicked away. ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Countless World 』
"…"
Seeing that Nero and Mordred looked exactly the same, the crowd outside the video finally realized the severity of the problem.
Wearing two identical faces… uh, it should be three! Almost forgot about the Jeanne d'Arc with the weak presence on the side.
Three identical faces appearing in the same frame… don't they find it strange?
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜
In the 6th Singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot—
"Strange, this feeling is really too strange!"
Mordred watched herself fighting side-by-side with Nero in the video, feeling extremely awkward and uncomfortable all over.
She wanted to fight alongside her Father and gain his true recognition, but this Nero…
She had the same face as Father, also held a holy sword, and was also an Emperor! Everything matched up, but why did it feel so weird?
If there were novels in this era, Mordred would definitely understand the reason for this strangeness, because this was the famous "Substitute Literature"!
〜Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline
"Ah~ Saint, so many Saints! Could that be… the legendary Avalon…"
Gilles de Rais watched the incredibly familiar faces in the video with tears streaming down his face, spreading his arms towards the screen, his excitement beyond measure.
Gilles, who was already somewhat delirious, looked as if he had a sudden realization:
"I almost forgot, there is another Saint here right now…"
Wonderful, this is truly wonderful! My wish is about to come true!
.....
[ "I see! No wonder you all came here specially." After saying this, Goetia's severed right arm instantly regenerated, then he raised it to the sky and clenched it hard!
"Leave the stage!"
As his voice fell, Jeanne was the first to notice something wrong, looking at her glowing hand with astonishment: "This is… the summoning system itself is being destroyed!"
The Heroic Spirits present, in just an instant, all turned into golden light and returned to the Throne of Heroes.
"I am the supreme summoning ritual created by humanity itself. As long as they are Heroic Spirits, they can't surpass me!"
"How can this be…" Fujimaru stared blankly at the disappearing Heroic Spirits. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Holy crap—then how the hell are they supposed to fight!"
Seeing the Heroic Spirits, who were just exchanging blows, instantly vanish, the hearts of the people in other worlds sank to rock bottom. The extent of Goetia's terror far exceeded their imagination!
.....
〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜
"This ability… is too bugged!"
Even Kamijou Touma felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this.
As everyone knows, Fujimaru Ritsuka is just an ordinary human and does not possess the outstanding combat power of Heroic Spirits.
Usually, he relies on summoning Servants to resolve Singularities, but now Goetia has directly locked away Fujimaru's only hope.
As long as they are Heroic Spirits, Goetia can send them back to the Throne of Heroes. But if they aren't Heroic Spirits, they don't have the strength to resolve Goetia. This is an unsolvable paradox!
〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
Upon learning this news, Emiya Shirou instantly broke into a cold sweat:
"This means that the battle just now was merely Goetia toying with them."
Damn it… just when we saw a glimmer of hope, it was instantly shattered. How can such a specifically targeted ability be broken?
"Merlin… right! Maybe Merlin can do it."
Tohsaka Rin instantly remembered the very scummy Magus of Flowers.
"Don't forget he's not a Heroic Spirit, and his strength is quite reliable!"
Artoria silently covered her face with her hand.
"Rin… to be honest, expecting him is less practical than praying for a miracle to be born."
According to her understanding, if Merlin could have appeared, he would have appeared long ago. Perhaps even he couldn't run over to a place like this.
