[ Cu Chulain⦍Lancer⦎: "There must be applause here! One generation of spearmen, one generation of gods! Spearmen are true men through and through!" ]
[ Spartan Warrior (300): "MOLON LABE!!!" ]
[ Leonidas (300): "MOLON LABE!!!" ]
[ Uzumaki Naruto (Naruto): "So cool! A spear that pierces through gods!" ]
[ Akame (Akame Ga Kill): "Heroic Spirits… heroes who fight for humanity, reborn in the flames of war…" ]
[ Spartacus⦍Berserker⦎: "Oh! Oppressors, resist!" ]
[ Zhao Yun (Three Kingdoms): "Protecting our lord is the duty of us spearmen!" ]
[ Gorgon⦍Avenger⦎: "Hmph, you don't think you can defeat me like this, do you? Humans?!" ]
[ .....]
〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
Gorgon's eyes were as dark as water.
Humans, why can't you just die peacefully?!
—
『 A terrifying giant maw appeared on Gorgon's abdomen. Even a god would suffer heavy injuries from this spear.
But Gorgon's terrifying immortality allowed her to recover quickly!
Meanwhile, Leonidas's body turned into a stone statue and dissipated on the spot.
"The human world is about to end, because you, the strongest guardian, have died in vain here!"
Under the power of her Mystic Eyes, the world turned gray, and Gorgon's expression was twisted and ferocious.
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash helplessly looked at Gorgon before them. This was the Demonic Beast Goddess…
"Died in vain?" Just then, in the silent, desolate wilderness, a figure stood up again.
"So that's how it is," Ushiwakamaru's voice reached everyone's ears. "Gorgon, you don't understand the battlefield at all."
"You…" Gorgon looked at Ushiwakamaru before her in disbelief. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone likewise looked at Ushiwakamaru, who had reappeared on the screen, in disbelief.
She… wasn't she already dead?!
And even if she wasn't dead, what was the point of standing up again? What was the point of dying in vain?!
That was a god, an immortal god!
.....
『 In the desolate, gray world, Ushiwakamaru picked up her long sword again.
Her trembling figure gradually firmed, as if every step she took was with all her might. She softly murmured, "On Kyoto's Gojo Bridge… The mighty Benkei wields his sword."
"No!" Fujimaru Ritsuka trembled as she looked at Ushiwakamaru's scarred figure!
"We are all Heroic Spirits." Ushiwakamaru walked across the gray land, the long sword in her hand burning with scorching flames. "Shadows of those who once existed in human history."
"Our existence is based on the continuation of human history," she said, standing before everyone again, facing the god directly.
Her magic power was burning; her Spirit Origin was burning—
"That's right, thousands of years later, there are still children who admire me, Ushiwakamaru."
Ushiwakamaru's gaze was fixed on the god before her!
"That fact alone allows me to fight… IT MAKES IT ALL THE WORTH RISKING THIS TEMPORAL LIFE FOR!!!"
Where the sword's edge pointed, the fire of life burned brightly!
"The Wandering Tales of Shana-oh, Act four..."
"DAN-NO-URA - EIGHT-BOAT LEAP—!"
Eight figures streaked across the sky. On the gray battlefield, countless cold lights flashed!
A human body against a god, yet unafraid!
Terrifying magical energy beams divided the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, seven figures were tightly bitten by the giant snake's maw.
"Where?!" Gorgon's eyes, filled with slaughter, frantically searched for Ushiwakamaru's figure!
But in this instant, Ushiwakamaru's figure had already arrived before Gorgon!
An extreme white light turned the world into day! Flashing cold light pierced through the sun, moon, and stars!
"BOOM—!"
The violent roar proclaimed the glory of the Heroic Spirit!
"This is Farewell, Fujimaru-dono," Ushiwakamaru's voice echoed in the aftermath of the explosion.
That's right… as long as her existence is remembered thousands of years later, she has a reason to stake this life—! 』

[ Ronoroa Zoro (One Piece): "This swordsmanship… how astonishing!" ]
[ Enma Ai (Hell Girl): "All those present are renowned heroes, shaking ancient and modern times. No one can be underestimated." ]
[ Jotaro Kujo (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure): "The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage, and the greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage!" ]
[ Chaos Evil Gudako: "Wuwuwu, Ushiwakamaru, I misunderstood you! I'll summon you back to Chaldea, right away!" ]
[ Tohsaka Rin: "It took the sacrifice of two Heroic Spirits to barely defeat this, Goddess? And that's without Kingu even making a move." ]
[ Jibril (No game, No life): "Defeated? That's not necessarily true. There's a reason why gods are called gods." ]
[ Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba): "How is this possible?! She took two Noble Phantasms head-on and isn't dead yet?!~.!" ]
[ .....]
〜Boardtop World Disboard, Zero Timeline〜
"This is a god… No, perhaps the gods of this world are even stronger."
Riku's eyes were grave. He had miraculously survived a great war when he was young, and that catastrophe was even more terrifying than this.
The only constant was that the gods were high above, looking down on all living beings.
—
『 In the smoke, that terrifying figure stood up again, causing everyone's hearts to tremble wildly.
She had clearly taken two Servants' Noble Phantasms head-on, yet she was unharmed?!
No, Merlin pointed at Gorgon's abdomen, where the Holy Grail's light shone. Gorgon had used the Holy Grail to make herself immortal!
But in reality, Gorgon hadn't even activated the Holy Grail's power yet!
She was a goddess possessing Tiamat's authority!
Just as Gorgon was about to fully summon her demonic beast army to destroy Uruk, Kingu successfully persuaded Gorgon to attack and agreed to attack again ten days later.
By then, the final destruction would arrive!
The surviving soldiers had completely lost their courage, never having felt such fear, such helplessness.
Everyone returned to Uruk and reported everything to Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh showed no ripple of emotion.
War inherently came with sacrifices, and it was his responsibility to mourn the dead and fill the empty spaces.
Moreover, Gilgamesh had also seen a clue: Gorgon was clearly at odds with the other two goddesses. Next, they just needed to conquer the other two goddesses.
Excluding Gorgon, who couldn't be reasoned with, and the Jungle Goddess, who had never shown herself, there was only one goddess left—
Ishtar!
Defeating that goddess wouldn't require drawing swords; they just needed to tame her. Then, Gilgamesh taught Fujimaru Ritsuka the winning secret to taming Ishtar!
A cart full of top-tier jewels! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
"Hehe,"
Countless gods looked at this scene with cold eyes.
A goddess conquered by humans?
And by such common, worthless things? It was simply a joke!
Everyone was prepared for Gilgamesh to be proven wrong.
.....
〜Date A Live World〜
Shido Itsuka's head slowly showed a question mark.
This plot, why did it seem so familiar?
.....
『 When they arrived at Mount Ebih, the magnificent sight before them left everyone stunned.
Two giant beckoning cats stood on either side of the mountain gate.
Vulgar… unbearably vulgar—
Ishtar also noticed them, but Ishtar, who had originally been hostile towards them, became instantly captivated upon seeing a cart full of jewels, and her eyes even spun like mosquito coils.
She fell into complete confusion.
"As long as you agree to become our ally, we will offer you 20% of our treasure vault," Fujimaru Ritsuka threw out another bombshell.
Ishtar defeated—! 』

[ Mash kyrielight: "Could it be that treasure is a Noble Phantasm against Goddess Ishtar?!" ]
[ Aqua (KonoSuba): "Are you a gag goddess? You're disgracing the gods! At least ask for 30%!" ]
[ Yato (Noragami): "Could it be that this goddess is like me, a poverty god?! But I'm easier to bribe, only five yen is enough!" ]
[ Ishtar⦍Archer⦎: "Ahhh, stop scolding me! I didn't want to, but they gave too much!" ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone's mouths twitched, once again refreshing their impression of Ishtar.
Good, good, so this is the legendary War Venus Goddess, right?!
.....
[ "Hmph,hahahahaha!" Seeing everyone return safely, Gilgamesh let out a demonic laugh.
Although there was still the usual bickering with Gilgamesh, with Siduri's persuasion, the two didn't argue anymore.
Everyone's next task was to acquire the divine artifact that once cut the throat of the goddess Tiamat—Marduk's Axe!
Just then, the Jungle Goddess, who had never shown herself, broke through Uruk's defenses and charged straight into the Uruk city center!
She was a passionate big sister with blonde hair and blue eyes, but her terrifying strength was astonishing!
One of the supreme beings in Mesoamerican Aztec mythology! The chief god Quetzalcoatl!
Her divinity even surpassed all the gods present here!
She was called by her mother to exterminate humanity. She would kill a hundred people every day until Uruk was annihilated!
"Fujimaru! I entrust this task to you! You are permitted to go and subdue the second goddess!"
"Defeat Quetzalcoatl, and while you're at it, retrieve the divine artifact stored in Eridu!" Gilgamesh said with a hearty laugh, without any trace of worry. 』

[ Saten Ruiko (A Certain Magical Index): "Um… isn't the Feathered Serpent Goddess the pinnacle of good gods? Legend says the Feathered Serpent Goddess loves humans the most?" ]
[ Tezcatlipoca⦍Assassin⦎: "Hmph, that bird man is indeed like that. When I wanted to sacrifice some people, she refused and almost knocked my head off with a wooden stick." ]
[ Quetzalcoatl⦍Rider⦎: "Oh my~, you've seen through me, how embarrassing. Saying that makes big sister shy~ But big sister has her own mission too desu~" ]
[ Frenda (A Certain Magical Index): "This time, it surely won't be like conquering Goddess Ishtar, right? This is a proper chief god!" ]
[ Ishtar⦍Archer⦎: "Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean by that!" ]
[ Vodka (Detective Conan): "Big brother, I smell a traitor!" ]
[ .....]
『 After a day of travel, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others successfully arrived at Eridu. They even managed to win over the Leopard Man along the way, thanks to Fujimaru Ritsuka's personal charm.
Everyone also saw the hundreds of meters tall giant battle axe, Marduk's Axe!
"Hi~ Welcome to my Sun Temple," Quetzalcoatl was not surprised at all, even greeting everyone with a smile.
Behind her was the Sun Stone, the Aztec calendar stone, a giant stone that ancient Aztecs used to display the past, present, and future of the world!
And it was also the source of Quetzalcoatl's power!
"If we destroy that!" Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned.
A great battle was about to erupt, but Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly realized that even with all their methods, what awaited them was still a complete defeat by Quetzalcoatl!
Terrifying power and reaction speed, even in a four-on-one situation, she easily and happily suppressed them!
She even blocked Anna's Death Scythe with just two fingers!
"How enjoyable~, how happy. Let me see your courage desu.~"
To even lower the difficulty, Quetzalcoatl stipulated that if Fujimaru Ritsuka could ascend the altar and destroy it, the battle would count as Fujimaru Ritsuka's victory! 』

[ Tezcatlipoca⦍Assassin⦎: "Tsk, seeing that bird man, my head starts to hurt involuntarily." ]
[ Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Is this a chief god? She alone suppressed three god-tier Servants and one Demi-Servant. If such a being were to descend… the Holy Grail War would be no problem at all!" ]
[ Artoria Pendragon⦍Saber Alter⦎: "Wait, one against four… Where's Merlin?!" ]
[ Merlin: "Hahahahaha, well, you know… Big brother isn't very good at fighting~" ]

"At this rate, there's no hope of victory…"
Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned deeply, her eyes filled with solemnity.
Too strong… This feeling of powerlessness was only given to them before by the fake Magic King Solomon, who had given them such strong pressure.
"The pinnacle of good gods… how could she slaughter humans…"
The girl suddenly looked up, abruptly startled.
Could it be…?!
—
『 The terrifying, overwhelming battle continued until the afternoon. While the others were fighting Quetzalcoatl, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally reached the Sun Stone.
Just destroy this…
Just as she was about to strike, the girl stopped in her tracks.
"Ritsuka! Hurry!" Dr. Roman urged anxiously.
"No… what she wants to see isn't just a simple victory." Fujimaru Ritsuka dropped the weapon in her hand and gazed at Quetzalcoatl, who was walking towards her.
"It's a duel where our souls are at stake!"
"I want her to see how high humanity can reach! How much courage they can possess! I want to throw everything I've seen on this journey at her!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath, "Please, Ishtar!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka rode on Maanna, disregarding Dr. Roman's warnings, and flew thousands of meters into the sky.
Under the setting sun, the girl's figure was bleak and slender. Fujimaru Ritsuka leaped from high in the sky!
"THIS IS HUMANITY'S RESOLVE!!!"
Under the setting sun, Quetzalcoatl tightly embraced Fujimaru Ritsuka, her face full of doting affection. Quetzalcoatl asked curiously, "Didn't you consider that I might dodge?"
"I believed you would catch me."
"Why?" Quetzalcoatl tilted her head.
"Because you love humans the most."
The big sister was stunned, then her face revealed immense joy, "Ah~ Darn it, I lost, I lost~ From now on, I'm leaving the Three Goddess Alliance, and you're my Master desu~" 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
"TRAITOR!!!"
Gorgon growled, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
But she had also been prepared. Once they joined the Three Goddess Alliance, they would have a connection.
If one party attacked another, the terrifying karma would instantly erase them!

Frozen A-Team Members, Kirschtaria was speechless, then couldn't help but laugh.
Perhaps, this was the charm of humanity's last Master. If it were her, perhaps it really could be done.
But his plan would never change.
A world where everyone becomes a god…

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Conquered another goddess?
Everyone looked confused. What happened? Two goddesses conquered in a short while?!
Everyone finally turned their attention to this seemingly useless last Master.
Is this guy… a succubus constitution?!
Counting it up, now both goddesses are on Uruk's side. So, what is there to worry about with the Three Goddess Alliance?
Isn't this a guaranteed win?!!
—
『 The hero has returned, but there is no king's shadow on the throne.
When Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others returned, what greeted them was a devastating and unacceptable piece of news!
Gilgamesh had passed away!
Cause of death: death from overwork!
In the Underworld, Gilgamesh slowly opened his eyes, looking blankly at the desolate surroundings, "Siduri?"
There was no response. Gilgamesh also reacted, calmly saying, "The king awakens from a nap, only to find himself deep in the Underworld."
"….."
The king came to silence, the king came to calm, the king came to explode!
"IS THIS THE TIME TO BE SAYING SUCH THINGS?! AM I REALLY DEAD?!" 』
『 .....』
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Barrage〜
The oldest King of Heroes died from overwork?!
Are you serious, Gil?!
World-famous painting: King of Heroes dies from overwork!
.....
〜Type-Moon World〜
Kid Gil and Gilgamesh both covered their faces, too ashamed to be seen.
