『 The thunder that obscured the entire starry sky did not strike Chaldea, but under such dense lightning, they had no choice but to make an emergency landing!
Soon, Chaldea arrived at a desolate, uninhabited place. After some discussion, everyone decided to gather intelligence first before making any further decisions.
They quickly concealed their identities and learned general information about this interstellar city from its residents: the Crown of Kronos, the Orbital Great Temple, and the Crystal Mountains.
And also that—the World Tree of Atlas, which is also their Fantasy Tree!
Speaking of this, the young man conversing with Fujimaru and the others was filled with respect and yearning.
Next, the Olympian youth continued to tell them about the history left behind by their ancestors, noting that a total of four great wars had occurred in the past.
The first was the Titanomachia, a war between Zeus, leading the gods, and the great god Kronos; the second was the Leukosmachia, a war between Zeus, leading the gods, and the White Titan.
The third was the Gigantomachia, a war in which Zeus defeated the Giants, and the fourth was the civil war of the gods. The result of that war was the fall of some deities, and their believers suffered the same fate~.
Chaldea understood. So, the islanders they had encountered back in Atlantis were all people of the gods who had rebelled and resisted.
But even though they had been exiled, they had still reached a height never before seen in human society.
And here, in Olympus, the people had no fear, pain, hunger, or suffering. 』

Grand Temple of Time: Solomon—
"A utopia, a paradise?"
Goetia shook his head; clearly, it wasn't.
If it were, it would not have been classified as a Lostbelt, let alone treated as a pruned, erroneous history.
But... it was still a utopia that countless people yearned for.
Without war or chaos, without disease or hunger—is such a world really worse than Pan-Human History?
—
『 Chaldea fell silent, and the citizens of Olympus gradually realized that something was wrong. Even in the most remote areas, it was impossible to know nothing about the gods!
Chaldea's identity could not be hidden. A soldier immediately blocked their path. Mash stepped forward, intending to quickly neutralize the soldier, but a moment later, the young girl was stunned.
Because the Olympian soldier before her possessed strength and speed that were completely on par with her own!
And this was just an ordinary soldier in Olympus...!
But fortunately, at this moment, a heroic figure stood in front of the group, and then two flashes of cold light flickered; the Olympian soldier was cut in half!
"Musashi-san!" Mash and Ritsuka exclaimed excitedly.
"Long time no see, Ritsuka, Mash~," Musashi greeted Chaldea with a smile. Then, before the gods could get angry, the two figures took the Chaldea group back to the final base of the Godbreaker Alliance.
Musashi recounted what had happened since the end of the Russian Lostbelt. She had been drifting; drifting was a special trait of hers.
It caused her to arrive in a world randomly. During this journey, Musashi had also encountered a very interesting fellow traveler—a mysterious man wearing a hood.
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up slightly, but they dimmed again quickly. That wasn't... the Doctor.
Seeing Ritsuka's mood drop, Musashi seemed to guess something and hurriedly changed the subject. Musashi said indignantly, "I had countless landing points before, but after the Earth was bleached, I could only jump within this world."
Then, Musashi spoke about the Godbreaker Alliance formed by the Servants who had come here. The so-called Godbreaker Alliance was an alliance that existed to oppose the gods.
But now, all the Servants had been wiped out by the gods, leaving only two defectors from Olympus and the AI system created by the Servants.
The Servants who had come to Olympus had all been...
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash's hearts sank to the bottom. They hadn't expected to hear such devastating news the moment they arrived. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone was stunned, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The Master arrived, only to find the Servants wiped out?
Then what is Chaldea going to fight with? No matter how tough they are, they can't possibly defeat the gods on their own, right?
.....
『 But just at this moment, to Fujimaru Ritsuka's surprise, the Crypter Kadoc appeared before them!
He told them about the existence of some sort of transaction between Kirschtaria and Zeus; they must have an ultimate goal!
Now, what Chaldea needed to do was meet with Kirschtaria at the Orbital Great Temple.
Everyone was silent. With their current strength, how could they reach the Orbital Great Temple, and how could they even see Kadoc?
They looked at each other in silence—the last survivors of the Godbreaker Alliance.
Adele, a resident of Olympus, was sparring with Mash. Soon, a wound appeared on Adele's arm. Mash's heart tightened, and she hurried forward to bandage it for her.
But Adele shook her head. Then, she extended her arm, and the shocking wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is...", Mash said, shocked.
Adele gave a bitter smile. She was long used to it, as this was the privilege of every citizen of Olympus. They consumed Demeter's legacy, Ambrosia, and thus attained pseudo-immortality!
As long as the gods' authority remained, even if all the millions of residents of this interstellar city were to die, the gods could resurrect them!
"Then, in that case, why did the two of you join... the Godbreaker Alliance?" Mash hesitated, but asked anyway.
Adele and her younger brother Macarios looked at each other because they were tired of it.
They were tired of this life. Olympus was just like this; it guaranteed the happiness of society but ignored the happiness of the individual.
All they saw was eternal stagnation. They were already tired of living like this.
"But if the Lostbelt disappears, you will also disappear. Are you still going to do it even so?" Holmes asked bluntly.
The two did not hesitate at all. Even if they were to be destroyed, they wanted to see a different tomorrow. 』

"Is such a world really not good?"
Naruto was stunned.
Everyone living happily, without war or hunger, and even if they die, they can be saved by the gods—is such a world really bad?
Unlike the illusory, impractical world proposed by Goetia, this place didn't require eliminating all of humanity, nor did it require paying any price. Everything here was real.
Naruto couldn't quite understand.
Inside the boy, the Nine-Tails snorted. For some people, that world was heaven, but for restless guys, it was a cage of happiness from which they could never break free!

In the 5th Lostbelt, Interstellar Mountainous City, Olympus Lostbelt—
Adele and her brother wore bitter smiles. Looking at the condemnation on the screen, how could they not feel hurt?
Of course, they didn't want to destroy this place, but they had already lived for over ten thousand years.
They were like toys played with by the gods, and they were also the stagnant ones who had stopped moving forward. They repeated the same "today" over and over.
For them, eternal life was not a gift, but a curse!

『 The AI created by the Servants appeared before the Chaldea group. It analyzed the current situation for Chaldea and provided a glimmer of hope for defeating Zeus.
But the next moment, a bombshell news exploded before everyone like a grenade!
"Next is regarding the Great God Zeus. As one of the twelve Olympians, the Almighty God, the victor of all great wars, and the ruler..."
"—He exchanged an equal contract with Kirschtaria."
Everyone was stunned. Not a divine Servant... but a contract with a god, and an equal contract at that?!
"How could such a thing... happen in reality?" Mash exclaimed in shock.
How could a human be equal to a supreme god?!
But the fact was just that. Kirschtaria had concluded a contract with the Almighty God as the only ally on completely equal footing! 』

『 Kadoc felt increasingly uneasy. Wodime's goal was exactly as stated from the beginning: to return this planet to the Age of Gods and have the Atlantic Lostbelt replace Pan-Human History!
To make the Fantasy Tree of this Lostbelt grow faster, Kirschtaria signed a contract with Zeus.
But the continuation of a Lostbelt requires the existence of a Fantasy Tree, yet to the King of a Lostbelt, the Fantasy Tree is something they cannot understand!
Could Zeus allow the existence of the Fantasy Tree? What was their ultimate goal? 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone was equally curious. What was Kirschtaria's goal?
This former A-Team leader gave them a feeling that was too mysterious and powerful; compared to him, Chaldea felt like they existed in a different dimension.
Clearly, both were human, yet he could force away Goetia, who was a Beast.
So, what kind of wish did such a person, who possessed powerful strength and had even reached an equal contract with the Lostbelt King Zeus, have?
.....
『 Above the altar, Kirschtaria informed him that he was still being watched by the Foreign God.
But that didn't hinder the business between them. Kirschtaria revealed a smile.
To return the surface activities of this planet to the Age of Gods and reclaim divine rule, this conclusion was agreed upon by both Zeus and Kirschtaria.
Because Zeus had personally felt Kirschtaria's determination!
Although it was because of his momentary carelessness, there was no doubt that he had been defeated by Kirschtaria.
Zeus closed his eyes and said bluntly, "As long as the Fantasy Tree exists, one day the Foreign God will descend, and the Foreign God is incompatible with us, the Olympian gods."
There was no doubt about this. In this Lostbelt, one divine authority was enough; neither the Foreign God nor they could allow the other's appearance!
"Therefore, the moment the Fantasy Tree finishes growing and blooms, we will launch a rebellion," Zeus said in a deep voice. "We will take the Fantasy Tree for ourselves and destroy the place where the Foreign God descends." 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone raised their eyebrows. At this moment, they finally understood the existence of the Fantasy Tree.
The so-called Fantasy Tree is the root of the Lostbelt. Without the Fantasy Tree, the Lostbelt would disappear. But more precisely, the Fantasy Tree is actually the container for the birth of the Foreign God!
Although they didn't know the background of the Foreign God, they could tell from the name that it was an alien deity.
So that's it. Then, the Fantasy Tree descending to Earth and the bleaching of the Earth were actually all the work of the Foreign God?
Doesn't that also mean the Foreign God is also an enemy of Chaldea?
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
In the 7th Lostbelt, Golden Sea of Trees, Nahui Mictlān—
Daybit's face showed a bitter and pathetic expression.
The Foreign God, the Foreign God... after seeing all this and connecting it with Marisbury's purpose, he truly realized what "Foreign" meant!
Chaldeas... humans have created an unprecedented tragedy for themselves.
—
『 Zeus gazed deeply at Kirschtaria. His goal was the same as Kirschtaria's; they also did not want the Foreign God to descend.
Zeus stated bluntly that although he was an enemy of Pan-Human History, he was not an enemy of humanity.
He promised Kirschtaria that if Kirschtaria were to be destroyed first, he would respect his will and protect humanity.
If not, then after everything ended, they would have a great battle between them, staking the fate of the world of gods!
At this moment, a lecherous figure appeared in the Machine God Corridor. Beryl was discovered by the Beauty Goddess Aphrodite, but he didn't panic at all.
He stated bluntly that he had run here from the Sixth Lostbelt to seek the protection of the Supreme God.
Under his flowery words, the Beauty Goddess Aphrodite also believed him. 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
In the 5th Lostbelt, Interstellar Mountainous City, Olympus Lostbelt—
Kirschtaria's expression changed slightly, his handsome brows furrowing.
Beryl... had he already resolved the Sixth Lostbelt by that time? But... even so, what was Beryl's purpose in coming to the Fifth Lostbelt?
Looking at the other's appearance, Kirschtaria recalled the trial given by the Foreign God again, and he felt a vague sense of unease.
In the 6th Lostbelt, Fae Round Table Domain, Avalon le Fae Lostbelt—
Morgan gazed at Beryl in the screen, her eyes shifting with clear light.
She knew better than anyone why Beryl appeared there.
These seven Lostbelts were in a hostile relationship, so she could not just watch the other side reach its peak!
Morgan turned around, her beautiful figure arriving behind the throne. Nine holy spears shone with brilliant radiance, and where the holy spears pointed was a giant crater like an abyss.
It was as if a giant beast had opened its mouth, wanting to swallow everything, and in fact, that was exactly the case.
Internal strife and external aggression... Morgan revealed a bitter smile. Two thousand years, is all of this really worth it...

『 After experiencing battle after battle of hardship, Chaldea determined the final plan—Grand Order Summoning!
Using the summoning ritual to summon a Grand Servant!
And now, Chaldea pointed their spear at the Beauty Goddess Aphrodite!
But at this moment, Fou, looking ahead at the street, suddenly had his fur stand on end, his beast eyes staring fixedly at the space ahead where there was nothing!
"FOU!!!"
The space distorted, and the beautiful pink-haired Oni, Koyanskaya, appeared before everyone.
Candidate for Beast IV, incomplete Beast, Beast of Play!
Suddenly, Chaldea faced a formidable enemy, and Fou was cursing very harshly on the side.
Holmes also roughly guessed that Koyanskaya was not an apostle of the Foreign God, but an existence on par with them!
"Even the Foreign God would avoid such a conflict disaster. In Atlantis, Orion was summoned by the world itself. Here in Olympus, one can imagine a summoning ritual with such complete conditions."
There was no doubt that the other party was a Beast of Humanity!
Although it was a larval form, it would definitely become a formidable enemy of Chaldea! Holmes was certain!
And seeing this scene, Koyanskaya suddenly smiled, with undisguised malice in her golden beast eyes!
Violent magical energy surged around her, and the terrifying blood mist almost dyed the entire sky red!
A terrifying, pitch-black figure swaying with four tails, walked out from that blood-red color! 』
