Chapter 169 - Chapter 147: Melusine! Albion! The Grand-Tier Dragon! Muramasa's Auction House!

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜

Chaldea—

Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes were filled with doubt and confusion. What… was going on?

Wasn't it agreed that the Fantasy Tree was the foundation of a Lostbelt, and that everything within the Lostbelt was built upon the survival of the Fantasy Tree?

But then why…

Looking at the withered, heaven-reaching giant tree on the screen, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but feel a chill.

Eerie and chaotic—was the feeling of a withered Fantasy Tree really this unsettling?

It wasn't just Fujimaru Ritsuka; the others at Chaldea, including Mash and Dr. Roman, were also furrowing their brows. The importance of the Fantasy Tree to a Lostbelt was beyond doubt.

After all, from the moment they entered a Lostbelt, wasn't their mission to cut down the Fantasy Tree?

If the Fantasy Tree is dead, what are they going there for? But the tree is gone, yet the Lostbelt still exists… What kind of logic is this?

That Lostbelt King, Morgan… what exactly did she do?!

Grand Temple of Time: Solomon—

The sharp-eyed Goetia spotted the throne behind Morgan at a glance.

That was the entire Fairy Lostbelt, the terrifying magical energy accumulated over two thousand years. This magical energy was not even inferior to the energy collected by his Human Order Incineration Beam back then.

After all, the magical energy value of fairies is far higher than that of humans.

Goetia looked at Morgan on the screen with complex eyes. An inexplicable word appeared in his mind: Pioneer.

His ideals were the same as Morgan's, but he had already…

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

The viewers' attention was now focused on Old Man Muramasa.

Going straight to assassinate the Lostbelt King? Without even needing to prepare? And the key point is, you actually managed to break through and arrive in front of the Lostbelt King, Morgan?

Everyone was full of complaints at this moment.

If you say Senji Muramasa is loyal to the Alien God, he helps Chaldea with such fluidity.

If you say he isn't loyal, he really goes for it when he has to, attempting an assassination on the Lostbelt King just like that.

[ Jing Ke (Type-Moon): "It's so familiar. It's like dreaming back to the day I presented the map of Yan." ]

[ Qin Shi Huang (Type-Moon): "Heh, your map of Yan was still a bit too short. If it had been a little longer, maybe I really would have died at your hands." ]

[ Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba): "These old people nowadays are so impulsive, always fighting to the death at the drop of a hat, with no patience at all. Maybe Senji Muramasa will be better by the time he reaches my age." ]

[ Aogami Pierce (A Certain Magical Index): "? Right, right, right. Inverting the heavens, are we?" ]

[ Uiharu Kazari (A Certain Magical Index): "Old Man Muramasa is so fierce, maybe there's actually a chance. If he unleashes that slash from this distance…" ]

[ Artoria Pendragon⦍Saber⦎ (Type-Moon): "Although I have rarely seen Elder Sister make a move, her strength is absolutely beyond doubt. She is the one capable of locking Merlin inside Avalon." ]

[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "Pain, it hurts so much. Big Brother Merlin is going to be locked in Avalon for the rest of his life like this." ]

[ Melusine (Type-Moon): "Heh, and what exactly do you think you're doing to Her Majesty Morgan?" ]

[ Senji Muramasa (Type-Moon): "Since this old man dared to cut his way here, I've got some confidence. The Lostbelt King's a Caster, ain't she? Once it turns into close combat, the advantage is mine!" ]

[ Gabriel (Gabriel DropOut): "The flag has been planted. Just waiting for the old man to get blasted to pieces." ]

[ Morgan le Fay (Type-Moon): "…Hmph. Whoever said I was a Caster?" ]

[ .....]

『 The plan went unexpectedly smoothly. The so-called Fairy Knight didn't seem to expect that anyone would dare to assassinate this King, and for a moment, didn't know what to do.

Senji Muramasa easily arrived before the throne.

He also saw that King, a King wearing a veil that could not hide her stunning beauty!

The cold aura seemed to freeze the world. Facing this aggressive assassin, Morgan just watched Senji Muramasa quietly!

Although Senji Muramasa was confused, he didn't hesitate in the slightest!

He held his long sword, then struck down with force!

But the next moment, the sound of breaking air echoed throughout the palace. A streak of light came from the horizon, arriving before him in an instant!

Senji Muramasa could only rely on his intuition to hold his long sword horizontally in front of him. A terrifying blow struck his blade directly!

The next moment, his expression changed drastically. This strength… ?!!

With no room to fight back, the long sword shattered with a bang, and Senji Muramasa was sent flying backward like a cannonball!

But Senji Muramasa was no pushover; he barely stabilized his body in mid-air!

At this moment, Senji Muramasa finally saw the figure that had attacked him. It was a… petite figure clad in purple armor!

But the magical energy radiating from her made Senji Muramasa tremble with fear!

The strength and speed simply surpassed everything he had ever known. Is this really a fairy, not some kind of Beast?

Fairy Lancelot looked at Senji Muramasa's falling figure, not intending to let the opponent go. Her petite body turned into a streak of light again. The air groaned, and the distance of thousands of meters vanished in an instant!

Then the two collided with a roar, exchanging thousands of blows in just a flash!

But in just a few rounds, Senji Muramasa was already unable to resist and was beaten down into the deep abyss below without any room for maneuvering.

And in the process of falling, Senji Muramasa's spirit core was repeatedly pierced, and his body was even nearly cut in half.

If it were an ordinary Servant, they would have already died twelve times, but he was a heterodox monster processed by the Alien God!

Even suffering injuries to this extent, he still didn't die!

And Fairy Lancelot naturally didn't know this. As the strongest creature in this Fairy Lostbelt, she naturally wouldn't care. Even if she knew the opponent wasn't dead, it would just be a matter of finishing him off later.

She was a fairy formed from the left hand severed by the Dragon of Albion before its death.

That was a life form that had existed since the birth of the Earth, possessing life data spanning nearly 4.6 billion years.

Unlike gods who were materialized due to human cognition or belief, the Dragon of Albion was a primitive super-existence, the last pure-blooded dragon!

Even if it was just the incarnation of the other's left hand, its strength exceeded this Lostbelt, and even 99% of the existences in Proper Human History! 』

[ Artoria Pendragon⦍Saber⦎ (Type-Moon): "Fairy Lancelot… could it be that Elder Sister used the Knights of the Round Table as a blueprint to create a Fairy Round Table?" ]

[ Romani Archaman (Type-Moon): "It seems so. And there are traces of the Shield of Snowflakes on that armor of Fairy Lancelot." ]

[ Uiharu Kazari (A Certain Magical Index): "The old man is so strong, yet he was beaten without any ability to fight back?" ]

[ Jibril (No game, No life): "The difference in strength between them is like heaven and earth. One is a Dragon Kind, the other is a Heroic Spirit from Proper Human History; the two simply cannot be compared. However, not to have died even after that, Senji Muramasa is truly tough." ]

[ Ryomen Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen): "Since you've slashed him, just mince him into meat paste. Otherwise, it's disgusting to see him bouncing back again and again." ]

[ Satoru Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen): "I feel like our Lord Sukuna is hinting at something." ]

[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "Hehe, so does Miss Melusine have anything to say?" ]

[ Melusine (Type-Moon): "It seems… the feeling of slashing Muramasa is quite good. Next time, I will try my best to slash you into meat paste." ]

[ Senji Muramasa (Type-Moon): "…Child, this is not funny." ]

[ Melusine (Type-Moon): "Child? me!?" ]

[ .....]

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜

In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower—

"The Dragon of Albion, based on the spirit origin scale, is a Grand-class dragon. But such a powerful creature still ended up in such a state,"

Merlin couldn't help but sigh when he remembered.

Whether it was the Albion of Proper Human History or the Lostbelt, they all died when the Age of Gods receded; they all died on the path to the Inner World.

The Age of Gods faded, fairy species returned to the inner side of the world, primates took control of the world, and the world flourished.

But how cruel is this to the creatures of the Age of Gods?

Eh, creatures of the Age of Gods are indeed pitiful, but what does that have to do with him, a half-incubus?

『 Senji Muramasa was beaten into the deep abyss, but he didn't die. Even though his body was nearly split in two and his spirit core was shattered, he still held on.

It took him several days to regain consciousness, but when he woke up, his expression suddenly turned extremely terrified.

Since arriving in this Fairy Lostbelt, two things puzzled him the most. One was the Fantasy Tree that had withered two thousand years ago, and the other was this super-deep abyss standing in the center of the Fairy Lostbelt!

Deep inside this abyss, SUCH A TERRIFYING THING WAS ACTUALLY HIDDEN!!!

Madness, chaos, hatred, rage, destruction!

Senji Muramasa only saw a little bit; he knew that what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg, but even just this little bit made his scalp tingle and a bone-chilling coldness wash over him!

He didn't hesitate in the slightest and climbed upward frantically. After spending three days, he finally crawled out of the cave. 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

Everyone looked at the cave, thoughtful. If they weren't mistaken, this should be the burial place of the Creator God, Cernunnos, right?

The current situation looks like… Is it sleeping? Or is it sealed, just waiting for an opportunity?

It seems that this sixth Lostbelt is not only mysterious because of the Lostbelt King, Morgan, but also because this big guy turns into a calamity and rushes out of this abyss, which will also be the most interesting time~!

After all, a living god is much easier to deal with than a god who has died and turned into a mad calamity.

A living god has reason; a benevolent god like Cernunnos might even actively help humans. Perhaps Fujimaru Ritsuka could even actively turn them to their side.

But a dead god will not; Chaldea and this calamity must have one side completely perish.

.....

『 Because the iron hammer in his hand was broken, he went to a village with a blacksmith, but while passing through a strange forest, he couldn't find his way out and eventually fainted on the ground, only to be tied up by a group of fairies.

In the end, he was sold to an auction house and was even required to demonstrate his forging skills from time to time.

It is now the fifth day. Senji Muramasa is placed on the stage, locked in an iron cage. At this moment, the auction is underway!

His face is livid, and he is flushed red, with a strong urge to start a fight if things go wrong.

"Then, let me introduce everyone to the final item of the day," the fairy host said with a smile, pointing to Senji Muramasa in the cage.

"This is the hottest rumor of the moment—the detestable rebel who threatens our Queen!"

"It is also the Covenant-Winning Child promised by that noble Ainsel to be the savior of Britain!"

"The true hero who attacked the Queen with a weapon was beaten into the abyss yet still crawled out, and even survived the Nameless Forest!"

"THE CHILD OF PROPHECY!!!"

Speaking of this, the fairy host's face was filled with excitement!

"OOOOOH!!!" The fairies in the audience also shouted!

Even if it wasn't true, the human in the cage had a good appearance. If you buy him home, maybe you could…!

Senji Muramasa in the cage was speechless, silent, and numb.

And Chaldea, Oberon, and Artoria, who also came to this auction house, saw this scene.

Everyone was bewildered. Artoria knew she was the Child of Prophecy, so she was confused about why the other person was also labeled with such a title.

As for Chaldea, they were silent because, in just a short while, the Alien God's apostle was locked in a cage as the Child of Prophecy.

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but exclaim, "It's the old man!"

"Yeah! Sorry for being an old man!" Even from hundreds of meters away, Senji Muramasa caught that sensitive word!

This old man's mentality was about to explode! 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

Everyone looked at Senji Muramasa's flushed, "red-warmed" appearance and couldn't help but burst into laughter!

No, Old Man, are you really this entertaining?

The assassination failed, only to be auctioned off. Will he be auctioned off by the people from Chaldea later?

If so, will he work for Chaldea or the Alien God?

.....

〜Type-Moon World, Throne of Heroes〜

Old Man Muramasa was completely silent. What else?

Let the storm rage harder. Whether it's social death or exposure, he doesn't care anymore!

DAMN IT!!!

『 "Who was that who spoke! Who was the one calling me 'old man'?" Senji Muramasa angrily shook the cage.

Seeing the old man in a rage, Fujimaru Ritsuka hurriedly kept quiet, looking left and right with a guilty conscience.

Artoria and Oberon, after asking for Chaldea's opinion, immediately prepared to bid.

"Looking at the atmosphere, 70 million should be enough to win the bid. Let's bid 1 million to test the waters first," said the wealthy local, Oberon.

The auction started quickly: 1 million, 5 million, 10 million.

Artoria looked at Senji Muramasa suffering in the cage, and for some reason, a flash of irritation rose in her heart.

"Ah~ seriously, so annoying, 70 million!" Artoria bid.

"…" Oberon turned his head stiffly. The fairy quickly flushed red, and he shouted angrily, "Artoria! Are you a wild boar?"

But just as the bid was about to be finalized, Fairy Tristan bid 100 million!

Artoria naturally wouldn't yield and immediately turned around to auction off Oberon's territory, then prepared to duel Fairy Tristan to decide the winner! 』

『 .....』

[ Oberon Vortigern (Type-Moon): "HISS… JUST LOOKING AT IT MAKES ME FLUSHED RED!!! Artoria, MY LAND!!!" ]

[ Artoria⦍Caster⦎ (Type-Moon): "Wuwuwu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to either." ]

[ Artoria Pendragon⦍Saber⦎ (Type-Moon): "…Is this me from the Lostbelt? It looks…" ]

[ Lady Avalon (Type-Moon): "Should we call it the appearance of these two, or their fate? Even in the Lostbelt, these two can get involved with each other~" ]

[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "This is fate~" ]

[ Aogami Pierce (A Certain Magical Index): "Kyaa~! Women fighting? Now THAT's what this old man lives for! The clash of bodies, the fierce stares, the torn dress... fufu, I accept all genres equally!" ]

[ Misaka Mikoto (A Certain Magical Index): "Someone call the police for this guy." ]

[ .....]

『 After a battle, Artoria successfully won Senji Muramasa.

Senji Muramasa still couldn't quite wrap his head around it even now. He never thought he could be worth so much one day.

Senji Muramasa greeted everyone and then talked about what happened to him after coming to this Lostbelt.

After learning Senji Muramasa's story, Fujimaru Ritsuka also explained the reason why they came to this sixth Lostbelt.

They originally thought that the Fantasy Tree of this Lostbelt had already been ignited by Beryl, and they only needed to wait for the Wall of Light to disappear and the Lostbelt to dissipate.

But what surprised everyone was that, according to the Imaginary Numbers Observation Device Paper Moon and the predictive results from the observation lens SHEBA:

The British Lostbelt will be destroyed in 24 hours, and this destruction will sweep across the entire Earth like a tsunami.

The planet is facing its limit, unable to withstand its own gravity, and will collapse. This planet will face gravitational collapse and return to nothingness.

Unlike the Alien God's black hole simulation, this is the true end of the planet!

In other words, if left alone, the disaster of the sixth Lostbelt would be even more terrifying than the Bleached Earth!

But upon arriving here and learning that the Fantasy Tree had actually withered for two thousand years, the Chaldea team also fell into confusion.

However, they were currently lacking combat power. Although Old Man Muramasa was a person of the Alien God, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others felt they could still trust him.

Naturally, Senji Muramasa joined Fujimaru Ritsuka's group. 』

『 .....』

〜Detective Conan World〜

Vodka's large face was filled with confusion. Because he is a person of the Alien God, Fujimaru Ritsuka trusts him. Is this recognizing human prophecy?

What kind of crazy talk is this?

Confirmed, you, Fujimaru Ritsuka, the savior of Proper Human History, are actually the goodwill ambassador for the Alien God, right?

Every time Vodka sees this kind of scene, he feels his eyes burning!

Why are there always so many traitors? In the previous fifth Lostbelt, didn't Zeus perish at the hands of a traitor?

Now the Alien God is going to repeat the same mistakes?!

Vodka couldn't imagine an organization having so many traitors. Could such an organization even survive?

Just like their Wine Organization, if it weren't for him and Big Brother being diligent and responsible, could the Wine Organization have lasted until today?!

Today is also a day for Vodka to stand tall and proud!
