Chapter 194 - Chapter 172: The Eighth Beast?! The Complete Form of the Lostbelt Beast! SHOCKING MYRIAD WORLDS!!!

『 Why did Tezcatlipoca get so heated?

Because he is the Tempest! The ever-changing, all-powerful god who can unleash backstabs and surprise attacks without a single shred of hesitation!

But the scene before his eyes filled him with too much rage and confusion!

After Tezcatlipoca figured it all out, he immediately told the Alien God the truth. Chaldea had known all along that the Alien God was their enemy!

Everything they had done before was just to exploit the Alien God!

A flash of bewilderment crossed U-Olga Marie's eyes. She then looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru in sheer disbelief, wanting the girl to give her a denial. But all she received in return was the girl's dodging gaze.

U-Olga Marie understood. Though she believed herself to be the most perfect god, at this moment, she experienced a violent emotional fluctuation that did not belong to a deity. She could no longer deceive herself.

The Alien God vanished on the spot. Meanwhile, Tezcatlipoca glared at Chaldea with a twisted expression. "How long do you intend to use your clever little lies to exploit that woman?"

"Do you honestly think that's kindness?"

Tezcatlipoca's expression returned to a flat calm. He said indifferently, "If you hide the truth from an enemy who has lost their memories, you can indeed build a relationship of trust. But that is only temporary. The closer you get, the greater the pain when it crumbles."

And at this moment, night fell. No… the orbit of the sun had changed. Tezcatlipoca smiled. Izcalli had killed the king. The Flower War was over.

All that remained was the awakening of ORT.

In Chichen Itza, while Tezcatlipoca was holding back Chaldea and the others, Izcalli had already stormed into the temple.

It was far too easy… No, looking at those Deinos who only instinctively resisted when they were on the verge of death, an indescribable feeling welled up in Izcalli's heart.

Why… why did they cherish life so little? Why could such a species dominate Mictlan?

Izcalli walked step by step toward the center of the temple. Looking at the blond-haired man before him, he said proudly, "Where is the King of Chichen Itza? Take me to him, and I shall spare your life."

The Dinosaur King froze for a moment, then burst into a distorted, wild laugh. "Hahahahaha! There's a limit to being blind! Black Tezcatlipoca really overestimated you!"

Izcalli showed his displeasure, but at that moment, the Dinosaur King directly admitted his identity and spoke his name.

"I am Tezcatlipoca. Blue Tezcatlipoca." 』

『 .....』

〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜

A flash of bewilderment crossed Saten Ruiko's eyes, followed by a sudden realization.

"I see. If this one is also Tezcatlipoca, then everything makes sense. In legend, this god, as the god of war, has a unique favor for warriors."

"This is true for both enemies and allies alike. And when it comes to war, this deity has always been fair! This is why he joined the Ocelotl and cooperated with Koyanskaya to make the Ocelotl tribe stronger and larger. As for the Deinos' side, they were led by Blue Tezcatlipoca. But since the Deinos themselves were already extremely powerful, the Dinosaur King was merely constantly trying to change their desireless, passive way of thinking. This is probably also the reason why Tezcatlipoca pulled Ritsuka Fujimaru out of the Underworld."

So, did Tezcatlipoca cooperate with Daybit to destroy the world simply because he loved and cherished war?

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

The moment Blue Tezcatlipoca revealed his identity, everyone also suddenly woke up. The skinny blond guy in front of them indeed had the exact same abstract face as the tall blond guy!

So this play was… fighting himself?

Tezcatlipoca strengthened the Ocelotl and then went to attack his other self?

Wait… is he out of his mind?!

.....

『 "I am Blue Tezcatlipoca." The moment those words fell, a clap of thunder seemed to explode in Izcalli's ears. His head felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and his pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks.

A bone-chilling cold pierced through his internal organs, and cold sweat had already drenched his back. Behind Izcalli, the Ocelotl who were still holding their weapons fell to their knees with a thud.

This was their god!

A GOD HIGHER THAN THEIR KING!!!

Izcalli broke down. Lord Tezcatlipoca had ordered him to kill the Dinosaur King. The god's command was absolute, but… the Dinosaur King was also his god!

Contradiction, conflict, dizziness, horror—in just a few seconds, it felt to Izcalli as if centuries had passed.

Blue Tezcatlipoca, never one to shy away from watching a spectacle, urged him on with wild laughter.

Amidst his endless dizziness, who on earth was Izcalli supposed to listen to? But in the next moment, he knew who he had to listen to.

"You, between Pan-Human History and the Lostbelt, whose side are you on?!" Izcalli's face was distorted, yet it carried a sense of release.

Even if it was a god, if they did not stand on their side, they were the enemy!

"You're on Chaldea's side, aren't you? If that's the case, then you are an enemy of the Lostbelt!"

Blue Tezcatlipoca froze, then asked in bewilderment, "Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? I am a god of the Lostbelt. Don't play dumb, Izcalli."

"Pan-Human History is on your side! Black Tezcatlipoca never had any intention of protecting the Lostbelt from the very beginning!"

A suffocating feeling, far more devastating than before, washed over him. Izcalli felt his vision go black, AND THEN HE FELL COMPLETELY INTO MADNESS!!!

But in the end… he still killed Tezcatlipoca and reclaimed the Sun Transit— 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

Looking at Izcalli in this state, the audience felt both pity and sorrow for him.

"How tragic. This is the sorrow of the weak."

"Always toyed with in the palms of the stronger. He thought Black Tezcatlipoca was helping them, protecting the Lostbelt. He revered the god, yearned for the god, but in the end?"

"He didn't even figure out who the actual enemy was."

Some viewers had also guessed that Izcalli—the true purpose of this Ocelotl, as a tool, seemed to be…

A tool to awaken ORT!

But now that Izcalli knew everything, would he really still willingly sacrifice himself as a tool?

Even gods have variables they cannot calculate~

.....

『 After seizing the Sun Transit, the sun moved from the Ocelotl to Mexico. Chaldea also came to know that this sun of Mictlan was actually ORT's heart!

Now ORT was about to be revived, and once it was revived, it would reclaim its heart!

And Mexico… was absolutely the closest place to ORT!

Daybit reviving ORT, the Alien God merging with ORT, ORT reviving to reclaim its heart…

Ritsuka Fujimaru tried her best to remain calm, discussing with everyone to make a plan!

Chaldea split their forces into two paths. Kadoc, Koyanskaya, and the Goredolf Musik went to intercept Daybit to buy time, while Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others headed for the final Underworld Line, which was precisely the territory of the Bat God, Camazotz! 』

[ Tohsaka Rin (Type-Moon): "I feel like… our combat power is a bit lacking? With Chaldea's current meager forces, can they really beat the opponent? This Bat God was mentioned before, right? He's a Beast, isn't he? Can Chaldea beat a Beast with just these few people?" ]

[ Goetia (Type-Moon): "They wouldn't win even if he didn't turn into a Beast." ]

[ Chaotic Evil Gudako (Type-Moon): "You hurt my feelings, Director Goetia." ]

[ Tezcatlipoca (Type-Moon): "Even that bird god in her full state might not necessarily fare well. Standing before you is the King of Braves!" ]

[ Nami (One Piece): "Eh? Isn't he the Bat God? How did he become the King of Braves?" ]

[ Saten Ruiko (A Certain Magical Index): "King of Braves? Mythology only records him as a god of darkness." ]

[ .....]

『 After the Chaldea squad entered the Fourth Underworld, Camazotz instantly detected them. He also understood their purpose.

Racing against the Crypter to reach the ninth layer and stop them from reviving ORT?

Camazotz sneered. He called out loudly, "A tragedy, an unparalleled tragedy! To be optimistic without knowing the strength of the enemy you challenge is nothing but a fearless death!"

"A fearless death is a comedy. I do not mock death." Camazotz allowed Chaldea to pass, but the prerequisite was to defeat him or hand Nitocris over to him.

Ritsuka Fujimaru originally held a sliver of hope, but upon hearing Camazotz's demand, the girl's face suddenly turned cold. She said decisively, "Then let us fight."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Then let Camazotz kill you all and take that woman away!"

But before the battle began, Ritsuka Fujimaru asked Camazotz a question.

The girl tilted her head up and asked in a deep voice, "Is it true that ORT was defeated?"

"…Who did you hear that from?" The smile on Camazotz's face vanished instantly. He looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru coldly. "Was it Maya? Was it Kukulkan? Or was it that useless Xquic?"

But it didn't matter who it was, because asking this question was an insult to the warriors of the Kingdom of Ka'an, an insult to him!

"However, outrageous words must be answered with violence. You must have had that resolve when you spoke. Was it Camazotz who defeated ORT? Defeated the monster that can devour planets?"

"Hahahahahahahaha! Of course! I killed everyone!"

"Against the disaster that attempted to prey on the Cosmic Tree and violate Mictlan, I slaughtered it to the very last!"

A bloody light shrouded Camazotz's eyes. His expression was distorted and terrifying. He gnashed his teeth and growled, "I threw it into the lava."

"I pierced its chest with my claws, tore out its entrails, and turned it into a silent corpse!" 』

[ Araragi Koyomi (Monogatari): "Wait, big brother, you're that fierce? I thought you were just a vampire who wasn't afraid of the sun. But you actually ripped out the heart and guts of ORT, which was described as something so terrifying?!" ]

[ Aogami Pierce (A Certain Magical Index): "Ooooh! Bat bro is so awesome!" ]

[ Fang Yuan (Reverend Insanity): "Killed everyone? Could it be that he practiced some demonic art that requires lives, and while gaining power, he also fell into an extreme state? That is indeed a good method." ]

[ Patrick Redfield (One Piece): "Since he's a bat, he must have gained power by sucking blood~ I just wonder how many people this guy actually killed." ]

[ .....]

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜

Countless Kings sighed at the same time. Ritsuka Fujimaru had made a wrong step here.

"Was ORT killed by you?" Such words were no different from an insult to the soldiers of the entire Kingdom of Ka'an.

How could the King of the Kingdom of Ka'an tolerate this? This was why the Bat God called it outrageous words.

They could see that Camazotz's heart was lost and confused. If Ritsuka Fujimaru could have noticed this and persuaded this former King of Braves…

Then he would have absolutely been the strongest ally! But now, the two sides were locked in a fight to the death.

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

Countless viewers were even more curious about how Camazotz had actually killed ORT.

What kind of strength was hidden within this withered, thin body?

.....

『 "If you do not believe it, then let me personally show you." A sharp, ear-piercing voice echoed. In the next moment, Camazotz's body was surrounded by countless bloody hues!

A terrifying magical energy swept across nearly half of Mictlan!

"Saint Graph output… No! The Saint Graph response is rapidly increasing! 100, 000… 1, 000, 000… 10, 000, 000… 100, 000, 000?!!!"

It wasn't just a matter of having multiple Saint Graphs. Within Camazotz's body, THERE WAS A TURBID MIXTURE OF OVER ONE HUNDRED MILLION SAINT GRAPHS!!!

And this Saint Graph pattern… WAS ACTUALLY A BEAST?!!!

Everyone's minds trembled violently, and their hearts nearly burst with terror. They couldn't believe it. THEY HAD ACTUALLY… ENCOUNTERED A NEW BEAST IN A LOSTBELT?!!!

A Beast that did not belong to any of the Seven Evils of Humanity!

And this was… a fully-fledged Lostbelt Beast?!

In the next moment, a terrifying and bizarre giant bat beast stepped out of the bloody mist. "Priest of Chaldea, names and such no longer matter."

"To you, I once felt a sense of closeness. You truly are worthy of being humanity's final Master. That feeling, I can also understand."

"…No, I do not understand. I have already forgotten. That is something useless for battle, something a king does not need," Camazotz muttered in a low voice, his vision shrouded in red.

"Something the final warrior of humanity does not need."

"Call my name. Warrior of Ka'an, the bat that struck down the spider, the king who discarded his crown—"

"The weakling who could not save the world without sacrificing all of his subjects." 』

〜KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World〜

"I get it! This is the Eighth Beast!"

Aqua stood with her hands on her hips, shouting proudly!

Beside her, Kazuma's vision went black.

HE FOLDED HIS HANDS AND PRAYED TO THE GODS TO NEVER LET THIS IDIOT APPEAR BEFORE HIS EYES AGAIN!!!

"WASN'T IT ALREADY AGREED THAT THE EIGHTH BEAST WAS RITSUKA FUJIMARU?!!! Aqua, you idiot! Wait…"

Kazuma stroked his chin, his expression gradually turning grave.

"Beasts are born from humanity, right? But looking at them, none of them seems to be human? Then why did Camazotz turn from the King of the Kingdom of Ka'an into a Beast? By the same token, if Ritsuka Fujimaru really becomes a Beast, would her method of becoming a Beast be the same as Camazotz's?"

〜Bleach World〜

A pleasant smile appeared on Aizen's face.

"I see. I understand now. This so-called Camazotz is actually also a savior, and likewise the last person of this world. The Principle of Oblivion, the Beast of the Lostbelt—"

"It seems he is also a tragic yet respectable existence."
