Chapter 78: Shocking Reward! Beyond OAA?! Seventh Singularity!
『 Countless emerald-green roots push their way through the chaos.
They connect, intertwine, and spiral, finally—
A World Tree, stretching to the endless multiverses, stands tall above myriad universes!
At this moment, all glory belongs to Loki!
Loki finally sits on the throne he has yearned for—!
But. 』

[ Saten Ruiko (A Certain Magical Index): "Loki didn't become the Lord of Asgard, but the Lord of the Multiverse, at the cost of sacrificing himself and remaining unknown to anyone..." ]
[ Doctor Strange: "So, that's why the Time Stone is green?!" ]
[ Ollerus (A Certain Magical Index): "A wicked god, ultimately becoming the savior of the multiverse. Loki became a top-tier existence in the multiverse, but he has to endure eternal solitude." ]
[ Thor Odinson: "Loki... Loki! My dear brother! How could you just... be gone!" ]
[ Loki Odinson: "Brother, that's enough!" ]
[ Chaotic Evil Gudako (Type-Moon): "Then can't the current Loki just casually crush a timeline and erase all life within it? That's so cool!" ]
[ Mashu⦍Eggplant⦎ (Type-Moon): "Senpai, calm down!" ]
[ Aqua (KonoSuba): "Quick, quick, quick! I can't wait to know what Loki's reward is!" ]

〜Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth-616〜
Asgard—
"Is that... Loki?!"
"It should... be him?"
The gods' faces were filled with unparalleled shock. They looked at each other, and after confirming that Loki had indeed become the Lord of the Multiverse, cheers echoed throughout Asgard, throughout the Golden Palace!
Because the one who brought them supreme glory was the God of Stories, the Lord of the Multiverse, Loki!
"LOKI! LOKI! LOKI!!!"
The gods reveled to their heart's content. Whether gods or humans, they were all opportunistic and worshipped the strong.
Loki, the God of Mischief? From this moment on, for them, there was only the God of Stories!
Inside the Palace
Odin looked at that figure without saying a word, but the heartache and sorrow in his eyes intensified.
He understood that Loki had reached an unprecedented height, but...
Loki would eternally sit on that cold throne, and that... It was definitely not what Loki wanted.
"My child... I am proud of you."

〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜
Ruiko stared blankly at Loki on the screen, a sense of sorrow rising in her heart.
In modern terms, Loki was like a world-class base station, trapped there for life.
It looked impressive, and the title was resounding, but that was the price of eternal solitude, and what's more...
If it weren't for the screen, they wouldn't even know about this.
Perhaps countless years ago, He Who Remains, Kang the Conqueror, also walked this path?
Countless years later, will Loki be as lonely as He Who Remains and then become another He Who Remains?
If it's true, then time is also effective on the God of Time, so what lies beyond time?
Ruiko's eyes were filled with sorrow and sighs.

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone also simultaneously realized how terrifying Loki's reward was. If he became the Lord of the Multiverse, then there might still be many beings in that world who could be equal to Loki, or even greater than Loki.
After all, Loki was just a server there, or even, all of this could have been set up by He who Remains.
But now?
Loki has been directly granted a concept and setting that transcends everything?! This transcendence makes any definition and meaning meaningless to Loki.
Loki will become one of the most mysterious and unknowable existences in that world!
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned red again!
.....
〜Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth-????〜
Kang the Conqueror, Celestials, Phoenix, Chaos, Beyonder, New Living Tribunal Adam, the Five Great Entities, etc., all fell into a state of stupor and confusion at this moment.
Is this... Loki becoming OAA?!
They originally thought that at most, Loki would be equal to them, or even slightly above them, which was already exaggerated enough. Now he has directly surpassed them and become the true apex of the pyramid?!
What kind of joke is this?!
Time Variance Authority—
Golden light showered down, and a brilliant golden light flashed in Loki's eyes. With a thought, all the shackles of the Time Variance Authority were removed.
He accepted the information in his mind—the truth of Ragnarok!
"God of Gods? Just a rat in the shadows...."
Loki shook his head disdainfully. Next, he was going to find Kang...
No, a mysterious smile appeared on Loki's face.
Before that, he would still go find his dear brother and have a good time!
At the same time, a new video appeared on the screen.

[Type-Moon Universe— The Seventh Singularity; Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia ]
[ Question—We will ultimately be 『 ████ 』 by human history. ]
[ Only three contestants can get the right to answer each time ]
[ Starting the rush to answer now—Ding! Those who obtained the slots are: Fujimaru Ritsuka, Enoshima Junko, and Riku Dola. ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone was stunned.
Seventh Singularity?
What kind of place is this, Absolute Demonic Front?
Could it be a story where beasts run rampant, and then the protagonist saves the world?
And this question is also quite intriguing, we will ultimately be by human history—
Is it a fill-in-the-blank question? Everyone present was not stupid and immediately understood what was being asked.
.....
[ Ding! The following hints will be provided— ]
『 In 1950 AD, the Human Order Security Organization Chaldea, or Chaldeas, was established.
In 1999 AD, the near-future observation lens SHEBA was completed.
In 2016 AD, the light of civilization observed by the Chaldeas disappeared.
In 2016 AD, the Chaldea explosion caused by Lev Lainur Flauros.
Except for the new Master Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was spared because she was expelled from the briefing and not at the explosion site, the other 47 Masters were cryogenically frozen.
As humanity's last Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka accepted the "Grand Order" to protect human history.
To correct the chaotic human history, she uses the Heroic Spirit Summoning System, Fate Summoning Servants, and embarks on a journey to find the Holy Grails and restore human history!
So far, they have repaired six Singularities!
First Singularity—" Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragon, Orleans " Humanity Foundation Value: C+
Second Singularity—" Eternal Madness Empire: Septem " Humanity Foundation Value: B+
Third Singularity—" Ends of the Four Seas: Okeanos " Humanity Foundation Value: A
Fourth Singularity—" Death World in the Demonic Fog City: London " Humanity Foundation Value: A-
Fifth Singularity—" American Myth War: E Pluribus Unum " Humanity Foundation Value: A+
Sixth Singularity—" Divine Realm of the Round Table, Camelot " Humanity Foundation Value: EX
This time, we will face the Seventh Singularity—" Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia " Humanity Foundation Value: A++
The end of the Age of Gods, 2600 BC, ancient Mesopotamia!
This is the most terrifying Singularity, surpassing all previous ones! 』

[ Mash kyrielight: "Senpai, it's our world! And it's the Seventh Singularity!" ]
[ Quetzalcoatl: "Yosh, Jaguar Man, you can speak now~" ]
[ Jaguar Man: "Meow~! This leopard was suffocating!" ]
[ Tezcatlipoca: "Wait, this guy is... Jaguar Man?! Actually staying with that bird guy?! Is that so embarrassing?!" ]
[ Enoshima Junko (Danganronpa): "Subarashii! I can't believe I was chosen, too? Does anyone know the answer? If not, I'll just guess" ]
[ Natsu Dragneel (Fairy Tail): "So this girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka is the savior?! Damn it! I'm so envious!" ]
[ Gray Fullbuster (Fairy Tail): "Idiot! Saving the world isn't that easy." ]
[ Kirschtaria Wodime: "Humanity's last Master? I didn't expect to meet this way." ]
[ Riku Dola (No game, No life): "Can I ask what a Singularity and human history are?" ]
[ Merlin: "Ah, I, your big brother who is in a Singularity, will explain. A Singularity, simply put, is a distorted history, and this history is wrong and needs to be corrected. As for who caused it, I'll just say it directly, it's the Demon God King Goetia who appeared in the video earlier~" ]
[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "As for human history? Human history refers to the concept of the origin, existence, and development of the human species in this world, as well as the products of civilization, such as language and culture, and their impact on the world. These are all dependent on human history. If a world does not have the human species, then there is no human history." ]
[ Aizen (Bleach): "So this question is only about the human history of that world, it seems quite a coincidence." ]
[ Koyanskaya: "Oh my, with a question like this, I'm almost afraid to show myself~" ]
[ Gabriel (Gabriel DropOut): "So what's the answer? I have a bad feeling about this." ]

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
Clock Tower—
The lords frowned.
They didn't expect the Animusphere family to actually complete that experiment!
So, the previous Spiritron Transfer was also real!
Chaldea—
Everyone was naturally overjoyed that Fujimaru Ritsuka had another chance to answer, but this question...
Seemed a bit subtle?
Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others looked at each other, and even Romani beside them fell into deep thought.
Everything they were doing now was to prevent the incineration of human history.
So, as the savior of the world, a hero, she should be a greatly admired existence, right?
Could it be... embraced by human history?
Everyone exchanged glances, all agreeing with this answer.

〜Danganronpa World〜
"How wonderful a world of despair is. Why must it be changed?"
Enoshima Junko's face was flushed, as if she were thinking of something interesting.
"Ultimately, by human history, what is it~~"
How curious~
—
〜Boardtop World Disboard, Zero Timeline〜
"Riku, does our world still have human history...",
Schwi asked softly.
No creation, no culture, no impact on the world, only the struggle to live in this world.
If that also counts as human history...
"...Yes!"
Riku tightly held Schwi's small hand.
He said firmly,
"As long as there are people, human history will be born. We must live, we must continue! I still have you, Schwi, and everyone else, all are the continuation of human history!"
"...Mm!"
—
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
After some introduction, everyone now understood the general situation. Simply put, human history in that world was about to be destroyed, and the destruction of human history also meant the destruction of humanity.
And Fujimaru Ritsuka was the savior of human history, a relationship like benefactor and saved?
.....
Soon, the countdown ended, and the answers of the three appeared on the screen—
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
[ Fujimaru Ritsuka (Type-Moon): "We will ultimately be embraced by human history." ]
[ Enoshima Junko (Danganronpa): "We will ultimately be buried by human history~" ]
[ Riku (No game, No life): "We will ultimately be recognized by human history!" ]
[ Ding, all three answered incorrectly. The correct answer—We will ultimately be shut out by human history! ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
The moment the answer appeared, the entire audience fell silent.
Then, countless viewers couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Shut out?!"
The hero who saved the world is shut out by human history?!
Such a vague statement as "shut out" is too amusing!
This truly was an unforeseen answer!
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
A group of Beasts looked unkindly at the big words on the screen.
"Human history..."
Chaldea—
Fujimaru Ritsuka shivered all over, trembling, wanting to say something, but ultimately unable to utter a word.
—
〜Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
"Seventh Singularity, Babylonia... Hahahaahaha!"
Chuunibyou Gilgamesh clutched his abs and burst into laughter!
"Kirei, Tokiomi, I grant you the opportunity to prostrate yourselves and admire my glorious self!"
As for being shut out by human history? Chuunibyou Gilgamesh, who only wanted the Myriad Worlds to admire his magnificent appearance again, didn't care about that~

『 In the azure sky, a band of light quietly circled and stood above the firmament.
The next moment, three dark figures gradually enlarged. The orange-haired girl Fujimaru Ritsuka, the purple-haired girl in black Mash, and a cute little beast Fou appeared thousands of meters in the sky.
They were plummeting rapidly!
"AHHHHHHHH—!!", the girl's scream echoed through the clouds. 』

[ Kaido (One Piece): "Humanity's last Master, are you also the strongest creature in your world? Are you challenging the limits of your body?" ]
[ Berial (Ultraman): "Falling from that height would surely smash you to bits, poor child." ]
[ Dio Brando (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure): "To be humanity's last Master, this girl must have some abilities, right?" ]
[ Chaotic Evil Gudako: "Does tearing apart Heroic Spirits count?" ]
[ Fujimaru Ritsuka: "No, no, no, I'm just an ordinary person!" ]
[ Saiki Kusuo (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K): "Hellish start." ]
[ .....]
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜
There was no time to ponder why they were shut out by human history; now they had to figure out what was going on!
The orange-haired girl looked at Dr. Romani with a forced smile,
"Dr. Romani, what's going on?!"
"I'll deduct your strawberry cake!"
"Wuwuwu, don't do that!"
—
『 "Mash, it's up to you!"
"Understood!"
Amidst the girl's cries, a snowflake shield appeared in Mash's hand.
"Lord Camelot—!!"
( Now is a Castle of Distant Ideals )
Instantly, a holy Camelot wall stood between heaven and earth!
The two landed safely, but before they could recover, several giant demonic beasts had surrounded them.
Bloodthirsty eyes and deep growls all indicated that they wanted to devour the two. 』
『 .....』
〜God Eater World〜
"Are they similar to Aragami...?"
Utsugi Lenka nervously gripped her God Arc.
Is this battle a war between demonic beasts and humans?
—
『 "BOOM—!" Facing the ferocious demonic beasts, Mash showed no fear, even charging straight in. In just a few moves, Mash cleared the demonic beasts in front of her.
Just as the two were about to leave, a figure descended from the sky, directly dragon-riding Fujimaru Ritsuka.
As the smoke cleared, a stunning figure with black hair and red eyes appeared before the two.
Her figure was not plump, but rather well-proportioned and graceful. Her revealing attire only covered a few important areas.
Her skin was as white as snow, and her light tremors were both sacred and evil.
However, the other party was in a hurry to find something that looked very powerful and quickly left.
The two, once again surrounded, fell into a predicament.
At this moment, a beautiful green figure appeared before them. With just a wave of her hand, countless chains pierced through numerous demonic beasts.
And this person was Enkidu— 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Enkidu...?
Everyone was stunned, finally reacting, followed by a burst of wild joy!
This so-called Seventh Singularity was actually the era of Gilgamesh and Enkidu?!
This means they can see the war between the two again?!
No... This time, perhaps the two will fight side by side?!
Wait... As the crowd gradually clarified things, they began to get confused. Fujimaru Ritsuka was looking for the Holy Grail, so obviously, the Holy Grail must be in Gilgamesh's hands, right?
Does that mean Fujimaru Ritsuka's enemy is Gilgamesh?!
