『 In the Inner Sea of the planet—
Artoria gazed at the scorching flames, her heart briefly falling into a state of calm. She couldn't help but smile.
Not losing to any malice, a shining star upon the earth.
Not the far-off place, not the you that isn't mine, but the sword worthy of you—the one who bears many wishes, returns many smiles, and lifts your head in the chosen land.
It's good, it's truly good. Artoria, you have completed your mission.
Artoria was smiling, but not a trace of a smile could be found on the girl's face.
…Goodbye.
"It can't end here." But just as that starlight, that cosmic furnace core, was about to melt Artoria, a figure stood before her.
"It can't end here. Since it's sword forging, leave it to me!" Senji Muramasa stepped past Artoria.
Artoria stared blankly at the Muramasa before her.
"Alright, step aside. You've finished collecting the iron; what follows is the work of a smith." Muramasa stepped into the raging inferno, and the terrifying temperature instantly set him ablaze!
But facing this horrific heat, Muramasa just laughed loudly, "Ho! So this is the Inner Sea of the planet and the cosmic furnace core! Just getting close makes one burn up. What a spirit!"
"Now I can finally do a job I can accept. Thanks, Artoria."
A flash of reluctance crossed Senji Muramasa's smiling face, but it vanished quickly. He said, "Being a bodyguard is a fine job too, but old habits die hard, as they say."
"Compared to that, this kind of work suits me better." Accompanied by deafening forging noises, the flames on Senji Muramasa's body burned violently!
That body, along with that Saint Graph, burned together in this moment! 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
The Alien God U-Olga Marie fell silent.
Come to think of it, wasn't Muramasa her apostle? Why is he now forging a Holy Sword to deal with her?
Is this a causal loop???

〜Type-Moon World, Kaleid liner Prisma Illya Worldline〜
"Go for it, old man!"
Young Gil clutched his fists, a look of passion appearing on his youthful face!
It seems that anyone related to Emiya Shirou is no ordinary person!
Emiya Kiritsugu, Emiya Shirou, Emiya Miyu, and now this old man!
The Emiya family is full of loyal heroes!
—
『 "No… no! Although I'm happy, this won't do! Muramasa, you'll be burned to ashes!" Tears slid down Artoria's face as she reached out, trying to grab Muramasa.
But she was scolded loudly by Senji Muramasa, "Fool! Do you think the old man fears this?"
His eyes seemed to burn with a flame hotter than this cosmic furnace core, and his voice grew ever more high-pitched, "The Great Iron is the smith's lifelong wish. Of course, this divine fire is worth burning one's life for!"
"Isn't it natural for a forge to be hot? This Saint Graph won't stop even if it turns to flame!"
Clang—Clang!
The deafening sound of striking echoed in the Inner Sea of the planet. Artoria's tears were baked dry as soon as they fell. She sobbed, almost unable to breathe; the figure throwing himself into the flames shone like the sun at this moment!
The magnificent, crisp, striking sound echoed. In just a moment, one of Muramasa's arms had burned away, but he laughed, "It works! It works! The blank is ready, watch me hammer it enough for you!"
At this moment, Artoria's body began to float, flying toward the outside. Artoria shouted, but Muramasa looked at her with a smile, "Farewell, Child of Prophecy."
"There's no need to use it all up. You still have wishes left unfulfilled."
His life was bought by Artoria, so isn't it normal to use it to repay her?
"But you already repaid it long ago!" Artoria's eyes were filled with sorrow.
Muramasa is a person from the outside world and also an enemy of Ritsuka and the others. So, isn't this what Muramasa's work is supposed to be after this?
"Yeah, I have no face to see the Alien God anymore, but I wouldn't have the chance to see her again anyway." Muramasa's body continued to burn, his expression growing ever more gentle.
The figure in the raging fire gradually became blurred.
"…" Muramasa hesitated for a moment before saying it, "I didn't get a chance to give you the hair ornament."
Artoria's eyes widened… She couldn't say another word. Muramasa… thank you!
Amidst the dazzling radiance, the crisp, striking sounds grew more violent. Artoria could no longer see Muramasa's figure.
Muramasa watched Artoria, who had already left, his expression gradually calming. Then, he looked toward the depths of the Inner Sea of the planet!
The terrifying flames continued to burn, as if expressing dissatisfaction!
It shouldn't be Senji Muramasa; it should be Artoria!
That's right, of course it's not enough! If anyone could just replace her, then Artoria's mission would be like a joke, all empty talk!
But…
"THIS OLD MAN CAME HERE SPECIFICALLY TO SEVER THIS FATE!!" Senji Muramasa roared!
This alone is certainly not enough, so he must bet everything!
Senji Muramasa's body began to melt, but those eyes became ever more brilliant!
In the raging inferno, countless swords appeared out of thin air. The forging sounds grew more intense—the terrifying hammering, the striking, the burning of the flames!
Then, countless swords shattered, turning into fragments to continue the hammering!
Arriving here is countless research, with a thousand swords as the mold, piling up a mound of swords. Arriving here is much accumulation, and displayed here is the wish of all things.
Gathered here is all non-karma, everything in my life.
ALL EXIST TO ARRIVE AT THIS MOMENT!!!
Senji Muramasa already understood his fate! But at this moment, he was not fighting for his own fate, but existing to sever the girl's destiny!
His Saint Graph is that of a modern person acting as a vessel. To be worthy of you and this body, the old man will use this frame to forge a sword to save human history!
Divine essence, clarification, completing the concept, convergence! Forging technique, critical point!
This is Tsumukari Muramasa!
BOOM—!
A pillar of light reaching the heavens illuminated the Inner Sea of the planet, and a terrifying aura erupted from the center of the furnace core!
The Holy Sword of the Star, BORN!!! 』

[ Gintoki Sakata (Gintama): "Good, good, good. Emiya-kyokyo hand-crafts fake god-made items, and you end up forging a real god-made one??? As expected of the Super Hero!" ]
[ Lady Avalon (Type-Moon): "Wuwuwu, I'm really crying to death. Super Hero, you are simply my Superman! If possible, please do it again! My Arthur here is also missing a holy sword!" ]
[ Hephaestus (Type-Moon): "Muramasa, you have indeed reached the pinnacle of human forging." ]
[ Beryl (Type-Moon): "The Holy Sword of the Star… it was actually forged by a human. Are you kidding me?! And by the Alien God's apostle?! Muramasa, you bastard, did you forget you are the Alien God's apostle?! You traitor!" ]

〜Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma World〜
Inside the family restaurant, Yukihira Soma's face flushed red, and he felt his blood boiling!
At this moment, the boy even put cooking aside!
Burning! IT'S TOO BURNING!!!
The old man is simply a superman! He actually used a Heroic Spirit's body to create the Holy Sword of the Star!
This forging craftsmanship is enough to make even the God of Forging of that world marvel!
A thought suddenly rose in Yukihira Soma's heart: what if… he let old man Muramasa forge a set of kitchenware for him in there?!!
Ahhhhh! Although he knew it was impossible, just thinking about it gave Yukihira Soma goosebumps!
—
『 Outside, the pillar of light that reached the heavens disappeared. Mash and Ritsuka both looked dejected and full of sorrow.
Saint Graph reaction… one servant vanished.
Merlin, on the side, remained silent, but his eyes were fixed on the place where the pillar of light had disappeared, with a hint of solemnity and tension in his eyes.
"Miss Artoria, although it was for the sake of forging, this kind of thing…" Mash recalled her experiences with Artoria, feeling so sad she was about to cry.
"That's right, I also think there's a problem with this forging method," Artoria walked to Mash's side, nodding in full agreement, "Poor efficiency, and inhumane."
"…Eh?" Mash and Ritsuka turned back blankly, looking like they had seen a ghost!
Miss Artoria…?!
Artoria looked at the two stunned people, slowly explained everything to them, and handed the Holy Sword to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Merlin, on the side, was unruffled, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, as if everything had been expected. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
People like Merlin are too terrifying…
Countless viewers frowned slightly. This kind of person, he clearly saw everything, but he was always guiding—guiding your fate, guiding your ending.
They knew very well that even if Merlin hadn't named Senji Muramasa at the beginning, the other party would have followed anyway, because Artoria's journey would not end there.
But someone who controls and guides the fate of others… especially a half-incubus like Merlin who doesn't know what emotions are.
…I really don't know how the Arthur of Pan-Human History got along with such a guy.
.....
『 After obtaining the Holy Sword of the Star, the Chaldea group quickly began the next plan.
Merlin backtracked Cernunnos to two hours ago, and because of this, his Saint Graph became dilapidated. He bid farewell to everyone, and his figure gradually dissipated.
But there was one thing Merlin forgot to ask, and that was whether Ritsuka had been talking to herself too much this time. 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
Chaldea—
"Me… talking to myself?"
A chill uncontrollably rose on Fujimaru Ritsuka's body. She knew very well that she wasn't the type of person who liked talking to herself.
If there were any, it would just be a word or two usually, but here Merlin said it was especially frequent…
Unless she was mentally deranged, everything seemed normal right now?
Then why was she talking to herself?
In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower—
"Hehe, of course it's Oberon~"
Merlin smiled. Oberon, the Fairy King, named after A Midsummer Night's Dream~
Of course, he is also the White Dragon Vortigern~
The matter is simple. This Fairy Lostbelt is like a stage play. King Artoria, Queen Morgan, Court Magician Merlin—who else is there?
Of course, the greatest villain, the Vile King Vortigern~
—
『 Backtracking the Great Hole by two hours, Chaldea was able to resolve the two great calamities and solve Beryl, who had turned into a beast.
And at this moment, Cernunnos crawled out of the Great Hole again!
And standing in front of this Calamity of the Star was Artoria!
She loaded the Holy Spear Rhongomyniad as ammunition, changing from the Leyline Blockade-type Armament Rhongomyniad to the Dragon-Vein Incineration-type Armament Excalibur!
In an instant, the pain of tens of trillions of cells burning together, the pain like the universe itself burning, erupted from Artoria. This instantaneous pain turned her thinking into eternity!
But at this moment, Artoria had no more fear!
"Holy Sword! Draw! God of Sacrifice, please forgive our sins!"
The next moment, the entire sky was shrouded by that ray of light between heaven and earth. Twelve Holy Spears pierced through all things in this world, sweeping across everything in heaven and earth!
Even the God of Sacrifice was completely pierced by this terrifying blow! The god's divine core was exposed, and Mash also added the final blow at this moment!
A BLOW THAT PIERCES THE DIVINE!!!
Everything… was over. Mash stood silently beside Fujimaru Ritsuka.
The disheveled, pale-faced Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the space beside her, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
She wasn't crying, but the sorrow at this moment was suffocating to the extreme.
And… now was not the time to cry either. The girl took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, only to see that the collapse phenomenon had not yet ended!
And at this moment, Oberon, who should have been dead long ago, suddenly appeared!
He was no longer smiling, his whole body turning pitch black. He was the terminal device of this Britain!
He was… the destruction device born from this Britain!
This Lostbelt didn't want to live anymore! A history that should have died long ago had actually lasted for ten thousand years!
That's why he was born! He loathed everything, whether it was humans or fairies or this world—he felt sick!
So now is the time to destroy everything!
Chaldea was swallowed in one bite by a giant insect named the Abyss Insect! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone's eyelids twitched wildly. No…
Is Chaldea violating the heavenly laws or something?!
King of the Lostbelt, the dead ancient god Cernunnos, and now another self-destruction device of Britain??!
No, you… Are you done yet?! And Oberon… could it be Vortigern, the Vile King from Pan-Human History?!
Everyone looked at Oberon on the screen with suspicion and uncertainty. That's right; if that was the case, everything made sense.
Why Merlin said Ritsuka was talking to herself—it was precisely because Oberon had set up magic to block Merlin's observation!
One after another… always wanting to destroy the world.
Everyone suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness and exhaustion for Fujimaru Ritsuka. From the beginning until now, no matter what stance the bosses who appeared took, they all wanted to destroy the world in the end, right?
So how should Chaldea respond now?
Chaldea can be said to be in a really desperate situation now; there is no one left to help them.
.....
『 Abyss Insect. Inside its body, the swallowed objects would fall forever, with no end, until they died in this endless falling.
Oberon said coldly. Now there was not a trace of a smile on his face, or rather, this was his true face.
Fujimaru Ritsuka had long guessed it, but she only dared to be sure at the very last moment—Oberon's ultimate goal!
Now everything was too late. Unless they killed Oberon, everyone here would be living in a dream of falling continuously.
But killing Oberon… Ritsuka showed a wry smile. Mash and the other Chaldea members, the entire ship, had already fallen into a dream. Except for her and Oberon, there was no one else here.
But—even so, she wouldn't just sit and wait for death!
Ritsuka's blood-red eyes stared at Oberon, and then she rushed directly at Oberon!
"Oh? Rushing over just like that?" Oberon smiled, "Fine, if you want to die, I'll grant it. After all, a battle without a chance of winning isn't bad either."
"No, there is a chance of winning!" Ritsuka said firmly.
"Huh? Where?" Oberon was stunned, then couldn't help but laugh, "I told you, rescue or whatever—"
But the next moment, Oberon couldn't laugh anymore. In this endless hell of falling, stars twinkled. In the long abyss, brilliant golden light illuminated the world!
That person responded to the summoning!
At this moment, it was the moment the shining star was born in the abyss!
"Based on the contract of the foreign mage, I respond to the summoning. If it is not to remonstrate with Britain, but to fight to save the world, even if it is at the end of time, I will certainly hand this sword to her hand."
Artoria Caster, the true King holding the Holy Sword, descended here!
Oberon was dumbfounded. No… did Artoria really achieve Heroic Spirit status as a fairy of Avalon??!
But isn't this seeing the answer he wanted?
Oberon smiled. He still chose to fight, because as a terminal device, unlike beasts, they would absolutely have no love—
Oberon eventually lost. He fell into the abyss, looking hopefully in the direction Chaldea was leaving.
"Keep working hard after this. From the bottom of my heart, I pray for your victory." 』
