Chapter 91.13: The Time When Humanity's Logic is Extinguished! Let's Have the Final Battle! Magic God King SOLOMON!!!
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜
Within the frozen stasis pod, Daybit cast a profound gaze upon Marisbury.
That man… his purpose in establishing Chaldea was never to safeguard humanity.
Everyone, absolutely everyone, was merely a pawn in his grand scheme. The thought of Fujimaru Ritsuka fighting so valiantly even made Daybit want to laugh.
At this rate, Chaldea itself would become the true Evil of Humanity!
In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower—
"Oh my~ just how amusing this shall be~!"
"Romani, do not disappoint me now~"
Merlin's breath came in ragged gasps, a flush of crimson painting his cheeks. He reveled in the sight of life and death torn asunder~
—
『 Within the City, Mash gazed around, a slight bewilderment in her eyes. –Where is this…?
"Yo, Mash, you're looking quite energetic today. Tomorrow, we're sure to have a perfectly peaceful day too," a couple suddenly approached her.
"Oh dear, Miss Kyrielight, how tiresome! Why carry such a shield? This city is as peaceful as ever today; there's no danger at all."
Mash paused, startled. Indeed, this wasn't a Singularity; why was she carrying her shield?
"Yes, we've finally reached this point—an ideal world devoid of strife, hunger, discrimination, and prejudice."
"There's no need to hate anyone anymore. There's no need to fear anything anymore, for we have been liberated from death, liberated from the emptiness of life."
"We are now experiencing unprecedented happiness."
"Life no longer has limits, the world no longer has an end, tomorrow no longer sees decay. We have finally welcomed eternity."
Figure after figure appeared before Mash, laughing in joyous happiness. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Even the most obtuse among the viewers realized something was amiss.
A world transcending life and death?
Even beings who had already reached the apex of their respective worlds, like Madoka or Othinus or Loki, couldn't achieve such a feat, could they?
Even if it could be temporarily constructed, could this so-called world of happiness truly proceed rationally?
What is happiness? Who defines happiness? How does a world where everyone agrees on happiness actually function?
To this day, they still have no clear answer.

〜Naruto World〜
"Perhaps, such a world truly doesn't exist."
Uchiha Madara sighed deeply. After witnessing so many worlds, he too felt lost.
There were powerful beings everywhere, far surpassing him; he couldn't even glimpse their tails. If even such entities couldn't achieve it, then how could his so-called world of happiness be constructed?
"The Infinite Tsukuyomi… what truly is it?"
Uchiha Madara found himself questioning his own ideals.

〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
In the 3rd Lostbelt, The Synchronized Intellect Nation, SIN—
"Empty rhetoric,"
The First Emperor dismissed Goetia, his eyes downcast.
In the Emperor's view, the only era truly worthy of being called a Golden Age was the Great Qin of this very moment!
He had unified the world; there was no war or chaos. Great Qin's super-technology ensured that the common folk no longer worried about food, clothing, shelter, or travel. They could live peacefully even without working, free from the torment of illness, and would pass on instantly when their lifespan was complete.
"Indeed, only Great Qin is supreme under heaven."
Next, there was only… The First Emperor's profound eyes gazed into the void, as the Great Wall slowly unfurled.
—
〜Warhammer 40k Universe〜
Upon the Golden Throne, the Emperor's faint consciousness stirred once more.
Humanity shall not be extinguished…
All humanity needs is to be made great again.
"The Great EMPEROR!!!"
Countless psykers felt the Emperor's consciousness, their excitement tinged with profound sorrow. Even the sacrifice of tens of thousands of psykers still couldn't prevent the Emperor's body from decaying!
Now, the only way was to mend the Webway's breaches and sustain the psychic drain of the Astronomican!
And this, perhaps, would require the sacrifice of all humanity…

『 Mash likewise sensed the abnormality of this place. She spoke in a cold voice, "Mage King Solomon, the scenery you behold—to me, it is nothing but terror!"
The world's colors vanished. In a monochrome landscape, Solomon appeared, his voice deep. "Why fear? Liberation from predetermined life, liberation from the fear of death, liberation from all anxieties."
"A world where the happiest possible form for humanity is realized—what is there to fear in that, Mash?"
"A promised future, an eternally continuing present, a life no longer needing to dread tomorrow's end. For you, this should also be salvation."
"To be able to continue living, this beauty, I believe you should understand."
"No… I'm sorry," Mash's eyes dimmed slightly.
As an artificial human, her life was inherently fleeting.
Though she didn't know why, she could feel Solomon's concern for her, but such a world was wrong!
Mash did not endorse Solomon. She did not accept such a world.
"A pity, truly a pity. If that is your stance, then perish like dust, alongside Chaldea."
Mash awoke from her dream, disoriented for a moment. The girl told no one about this experience.
What she had to do now was fight alongside her Senpai! 』
『 .....』
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
[ Vinsmoke Sanji (One Piece): "What?! Miss Mash is an artificial human?!" ]
[ Vegapunk (One Piece): "Not a trace of dullness. The technology and magic of that world are truly wondrous." ]
[ Beryl (Type-Moon): "The first time I saw Mash, I thought what a cute child she was. So cute, it makes me want to snap her body in half!~" ]
[ Chaotic Evil Gudako (Type-Moon): "I think tearing you apart with my bare hands would be quite nice, Beryl scum!" ]
[ Space Ishtar (Type-Moon): "I see, it is precisely because Mash's life is short that Solomon considered her a special case." ]
[ Lev Lainur Flauros (Type-Moon): "Unacceptable…! If you cannot accept us, Mash, then perish with Chaldea!" ]
[ .....]
『 Everyone in Chaldea was preparing frantically. From the First Singularity to the Seventh, their objective had always been to defeat Mage King Solomon!
There could be absolutely no slackening now!
Da Vinci and Doctor Roman gave their final instructions before their departure.
Enter the enemy Singularity, destroy seven strongholds, attack the central Throne, defeat Solomon, then escape the collapsing Throne and return to Chaldea via the contact point.
Though it sounded easy, Doctor Roman's face bore an unspeakable weight.
And this Singularity was exceptionally different; in fact, this Singularity was a living entity.
Fujimaru and Mash were stunned.
Simply put, it was an existence created by extracting a Mage's Magic Circuits and using them as a system foundation.
One could say it was a special case where the human body, a microcosm, was transformed into a real universe. This Singularity was an identical existence, a microcosm created with a certain Mage's Magic Circuits as its foundation.
A conceptual universe— 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
Everyone's eyes widened; they couldn't believe what they were hearing!
A conceptual universe created from Magic Circuits…? What obscure terminology!
For Magic Circuits to be capable of forming a conceptual universe, just how terrifying must that Mage have been?!
Clock Tower—
The pinnacle of modern Magecraft, the Master of the Mage's Association—Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, revealed a flicker of reminiscence.
Teacher Solomon truly taught him many things back then; otherwise, he would have been killed by that dog.
( Translator-kun: Yep, Zelretch was a disciple of Solomon in the Fate series. )
—
『 The time for the decisive battle has arrived!
Reclaim humanity's future! Strike down the root of all evil!
The final battle! Mage King Solomon!
"Anti-Summoning System initiated. Spiritron Transfer commencing."
"Execution—starting!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, clad in their full Mystic Codes, vanished from their positions!
A hollow, brilliant white light flashed, turning to ash-grey.
A biting desolation and sorrow appeared in their hearts, as chaotic, distorted images unfolded before their eyes.
What they saw was an unbearable slaughter, what they heard was an intolerable cacophony, and within the Clairvoyance that pierced past and future, all truths were etched.
I have no function to close my eyes. We have no function to plug our ears.
The world before Mash and Fujimaru's eyes turned crimson! Text appeared as if scrawled by rotting, blood-smeared fingers!
The pain and desolation deepened, anguish etched upon their faces.
——Ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly!
To be forced to witness such utterly unpleasant truths, to be forced to remember such utterly repulsive ecologies, it is only natural to conceive the idea of resolving such dire environments and situations!
But how should it be done? Even if impurities are removed, humanity will immediately breed new ones.
Therefore, this premise is flawed. As long as life exists, this error cannot be corrected.
Let us start anew. We can only start anew. From the beginning, let everything be reforged into its perfect form!
From nothingness—
For this, vast resources are needed—the heat to incinerate an entire planet!
All the heat generated by human history over 3,000 years shall be reclaimed. When all of this is reclaimed, managed, and controlled, my great work shall be accomplished!
"My brethren scattered across the earth! Etch Our wrath here, to provide a path for Our successors to continue forward!"
"Forge the Temples! Overlap the Light Bands! To destroy humanity, all resources are needed! To forget human history, all time is needed!"
"Seek the path to the Final Singularity, where the Mage King's Throne resides!"
"This is the time for the incineration of humanity!" 』
『 .....』
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
[ Kenjaku (Jujutsu Kaisen): "Exactly, exactly! Hahahahaha! What a brilliant idea! As long as life exists, impurities will arise, so the only way is to completely annihilate humanity!" ]
[ Lord El-Melloi II (Type-Moon): "This is not the heart of King Solomon; this is the heart of Goetia. But why? According to legend, weren't the seventy-two Demon Gods all subservient to King Solomon? And King Solomon was such a wise and brilliant king, why would there be such profound suffering?" ]
[ Goetia⦍BEASTI⦎ (Type-Moon): "What kind of king was that guy?!" ]
[ Aizen (Bleach): "Is this the Evil of Humanity? I believe I understand now." ]
[ .....]
〜Bleach World〜
Aizen revealed a gentle smile.
The so-called Evil of Humanity is also the Love of Humanity. They are born from humanity, yet out of love, they wish to destroy such a defiled humanity.
They attempt to elevate humanity to a higher plane.
"But they fail to notice humanity's defiance."
How could humans, who only live for the present, abandon their fleeting lives?
Struggling is the instinct of any living creature, even an ant.

『 Soon, the two arrived within the Grand Temple of Time!
The surroundings were utterly desolate, with floating debris in the air and a sea of stars in the firmament!
Both revealed looks of shock; it truly was a universe!
Just then, a wide-ranging magical energy reaction suddenly appeared all around them, and a figure materialized before them!
"Is that… Professor Lev?!" Both stared in shock at Professor Lev, who should have long been dead.
"Indeed, a Chaldea technician, and simultaneously, the vanguard dispatched by the Mage King," Lev, clad in green, stood before them.
"The traitor who dealt the final blow to your human extinction, and now, the busybody tasked with the final cleanup here!"
Mash questioned him incredulously; she couldn't believe Professor Lev would do such a thing.
But Lev readily admitted it.
They had been planning for 3,000 years. Before awakening this consciousness, he had lived as his original self, but after realizing his mission,
Human history should come to an end!
To stop Chaldea, Lev even detonated all members of Chaldea's A-Team, though he left Fujimaru Ritsuka as the last Master.
However, compared to those other Masters, Fujimaru Ritsuka was insignificant. What he hadn't expected was that Chaldea still managed to arrive here!
Such an ugly struggle! 』
『 .....』
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "The Grand Bomberand Grand Pretender has appeared!" ]
[ Tohsaka Rin (Type-Moon): "Eh?! No matter how outlandish, there can't be a Grand class like that!" ]
[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "That's because you don't know what this guy did. That old scoundrel Lev took advantage of the Spiritron Transfer to blow up the entire A-Team right there. Well, even though they were immediately frozen, it's pretty much the same as being dead." ]
[ Kirschtaria Wodime (Type-Moon): "That's quite harsh, Mr. Merlin." ]
[ Jogo (Jujutsu Kaisen): "Tch, at most, just a character slightly stronger than that human girl. Whether they exist or not is all the same." ]
[ Red A⦍EMIYA⦎ (Type-Moon): "Almost, but by a tiny bit. If the A-Team were still around, they would probably have already swept through to the Grand Time Temple by now. Those guys are strong like monsters." ]
[ .....]
〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
Deep within the Sea of Stars—
The Alien God U-Olga Marie raised an eyebrow. This fellow named Lev certainly had some tricks up his sleeve.
From her perspective, if not for Lev, Chaldea wouldn't have been left with only Fujimaru Ritsuka. If not for Lev, her Lostbelt, Hidden Ones wouldn't have had suitable candidates.
Grand Temple of Time: Solomon—
As for the A-Team being strong, Lev didn't deny it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically used bombs to blow them up during their Spiritron Transfer.
If it were under normal circumstances, if he dared to make a move, he might have been instantly killed by that group.
As for Grand Bomberand Grand Pretender? Lev absolutely did not acknowledge that title!
He was an intelligence officer! He was the intelligence department that had thoroughly investigated all of Chaldea. He knew every piece of information about every person and every object in Chaldea!
Chaldea—
"Lev is a Demon God Pillar?!"
Romani looked utterly bewildered.
So, they had worked together for so many years, and no one recognized anyone?!
That's just too ridiculous, isn't it?!!
—
『 "You Chaldeans stubbornly clung to life, why? Was it due to my oversight?"
"No, not at all. It's because there was another who evaded my observation, someone deeply hidden."
"Isn't that right, Romani! Or perhaps, you deliberately played the clown before me?!" Lev's voice echoed through Chaldea!
"If so, that's truly a pity. I had even developed some semblance of friendship for you!"
Inside Chaldea, Da Vinci took a deep breath. "How could you possibly see through Romani's true nature?"
"After all, until I was summoned to Chaldea, he never trusted anyone. He didn't know the reason, didn't know who the enemy was, couldn't even guarantee if it would truly happen."
"Yet he believed that such a human crisis would cost him his entire life! This is the ten years Romani lived, a veritable hell of freedom, not even a minute of which was truly his."
"How could a person like him reveal his true self to his colleagues!"
Da Vinci vehemently retorted.
"…I certainly noticed his suspicious nature, which is why I arranged for him to die in the control room explosion," Lev murmured, narrowing his eyes after a moment of silence.
Then, terrifying magical energy erupted from his body!
"Our King cannot intervene, so I am left here to resolve this problem!"
In an instant, the entire ground began to tremble!
On the surface, dragon-like tentacles writhed, obscuring the sky and devouring the earth. Terrifying magical energy beams seemed poised to swallow the entire world!
"My name is Demon God Flauros, one of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, the Controller of Information!"
"Allow me the pleasure of witnessing just how much you have grown!" 』
『 .....』
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Barrage〜
/Lev's stubbornness
/Information Controller—network connection terminated.
/It's hilarious how no one recognized anyone.
/The Six-Syllable Mantra, network connection terminated.
/The Grand Bomberand Grand Pretender, two Grand Titles with one person only, our Lev can do that!
/Only Lev can truly embody the pinnacle of the word Tsundere!
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜
Romani scratched his head, suddenly feeling that after Lev appeared, the atmosphere had inexplicably become three times more cheerful.
