Chapter 91.14: Extreme Heaven Meteor Rain! The Moment When Humanity's Foundation Flickers! The Myriad WORLDS Tremble!!!
『 Hundreds of meters of crimson tentacles flickered with terrifying magical energy, their horrific glow threatening to illuminate the entire world!
Lev's manic laughter was deafening. He controlled the tentacles to cut off both their path forward and their retreat. The crimson eyes of the Demon God Pillar snapped open, and crimson magical energy surged forth!
However, before Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had traversed seven Singularities, this current attack seemed far too ordinary compared to the hardships they had previously endured!
"Confirmed hostile individual as a Demon God Pillar. Surmise that gate is the path leading to the center of the temple!"
Mash took Fujimaru Ritsuka and dodged to the side, simultaneously blocking beams of magical light with one hand. The young girl calmly analyzed the surrounding information.
"Yeah, let's break through!" Fujimaru Ritsuka said seriously. "The person you need to assist next isn't me, but him!"
As she spoke, the girl pressed down on the Mystic Code she was wearing. Lev frowned deeply upon seeing this!
Then the ground trembled violently, and even more tentacles surged toward Fujimaru Ritsuka!
"Declaration. Let your body hear my command, my fate entrusted to your sword. Soul entrusted to the Holy Grail, answer the summons from the path of Human Order!"
"You are the Seven Heavens clad in words of stargazing. Sprint, fall, and bring forth judgment! Guardian of the Scales!"
Thunder flickered, and a handsome red-haired youth riding a black horse and wielding a longsword appeared on the spot!
"My name is Alexander III! Due to the bond of reminiscence, I have come to assist in this battle!"
As his voice fell, the black horse neighed and transformed into a bolt of lightning, charging toward Lev's figure! 』

[ Lord El-Melloi II (Type-Moon): "…How is that possible?! That guy was actually that cute when he was a kid?! He grew up completely crooked!" ]
[ Saten Ruiko (A Certain Magical Index): "If I'm not mistaken, this one should be the legendary King of Conquerors, right?" ]
[ Iskandar (Type-Moon): "Hahahahahaha! That is correct, it is indeed this King! I didn't expect my youthful form to be summoned there!" ]
[ Chaos Evil Gudako (Type-Moon): "What's going on… why does this feel like gacha?" ]
[ Aqua (KonoSuba): "Eh? Is the first Heroic Spirit to appear a child? Can he defeat that opponent?" ]
[ Lady Avalon (Type-Moon): "A Heroic Spirit's strength isn't calculated by age, you know~ Besides, don't you think there will be many Heroic Spirits summoned?" ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』.
Everyone paused. What did Lady Avalon mean by those words?
There wouldn't be more Heroic Spirits summoned… could it be?!
A shocking guess appeared in everyone's hearts.
.....
『 "To actually perform a summon at this moment!?" Lev was startled, and his Mystic Eyes immediately locked firmly onto Fujimaru Ritsuka!
Soon, he discovered the Mystic Code on Fujimaru Ritsuka's body!
"I didn't expect a simple summoning Mystic Code that uses the wearer's nerves as consumables!" Lev understood. "But a system created so forcibly definitely has flaws!"
He once again fired waves of magical blasts toward Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"You really are stingy! Relying on just one Heroic Spirit will only lead to this end!"
But in the next moment, Mash and Iskandar had already broken through the layers of defensive circles, flashing right in front of Lev!
Mash, having experienced seven Singularities, was no longer the girl she was at the start. Afterimages of the girl remained where she stood, and the round shield in her hands flashed with cold light under her swing!
"O cloud of darkness! O lightning! O father! Behold!"
"BUCEPHALUS—!"
(The First Trampling Domination)
Terrifying thunder baptized every corner of the earth as Iskandar shouted aloud!
Simultaneously, several Heroic Spirits appeared on the spot. They released their Noble Phantasms together, attempting to strangle Lev!
"Mash!" Fujimaru Ritsuka shouted!
"Yes!" Mash's figure stepped forward in unison, and under the encirclement of several Heroic Spirits, she struck a heavy blow to Lev's heart!
Lev turned into spirit particles and vanished from the spot.
And after releasing their Noble Phantasms, Iskandar and the other Heroic Spirits also vanished from the spot. Relying only on a simple domain, it was fundamentally insufficient for them to exist there for long.
"Confirmed that Professor Lev has been eliminated…"
Upon seeing Lev dissipate, Fujimaru Ritsuka, her magical energy overdrawn, fell to her knees, revealing a look of pain.
Yes, just as Lev said, this simple domain used nerves as magic circuits. She could use it at most seven times, and just now, she had already used it three times.
But fortunately, the enemy had been defeated!
"Senpai, are you alright!" Mash hurriedly helped Fujimaru Ritsuka up with concern.
"I'm fine, just my legs are a bit numb," Fujimaru Ritsuka said with a pale face. "But this ends it. Let's hurry into that gate." 』

[ Deadpool (Earth-10005): "You've got to be kidding me! Is this really the final chapter? We get these legendary Heroic Spirits just for them to exit immediately, and a Demon God Pillar that's nothing but talk. Then what—Fujimaru Ritsuka finds Goetia, summons three randoms, hits 'delete' with a Noble Phantasm, and the credits roll? This plot is absolute garbage!" ]
[ Aizen (Bleach): "The eve of the storm is always calm." ]
[ Shinji Matou (Type-Moon): "Why can she only summon seven?! Is Fujimaru Ritsuka too weak?! Let me do it!" ]
[ Medusa (Type-Moon): "Hehe." ]
[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "Eh? Didn't I tell you? In the Grand Time Temple, there are no leylines, no summoning circles, no catalysts, and it's even cut off from Human History. Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others can only summon using a simple domain." ]
[ Tohsaka Rin (Type-Moon): "Wait a minute! When did you say that?!" ]
[ Chaos Evil Gudako (Type-Moon): "…Feels inferior to summoning seven Great Heroes. How about seven meteor fireworks? What do you say, Great Hero Arash?" ]
[ Arash (Type-Moon): "….?! Master, please act as a human being!" ]
[ .....]
〜Type-Moon World, G̶̘̏̕͜ṟ̶͠a̵̹͂̆n̵̻̤̎d̶̞͐ ̷̫͇͑C̸̛̪̬ȃ̴̯r̵̓̓͜n̸̜̋͗î̷̭v̸̱͆ȃ̷̫̚l̵͚̋ Worldline, Chaldea〜
Arash stood ready. Although he felt very awkward about that Chaos Evil teasing him as a firework, if his Master needed him, he would sacrifice himself without hesitation!
Because that is the meaning of his becoming a Heroic Spirit and descending upon this world!
But what puzzled Arash slightly was, if a Beast was truly hiding there, then the only ones capable of defeating it should be Grand servants…
These Heroic Spirits, no matter how many Noble Phantasms they fired, would be useless, right?
—
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』.
Upon hearing that only seven Heroic Spirits could be summoned, and that they were even one-use only, everyone's expressions gradually became strange.
If the one behind the Grand Time Temple is truly Goetia, a Beast, then relying solely on Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash, and those laughable, disposable Noble Phantasms to defeat a Beast?
If they hadn't seen Tiamat before, they might have believed it, but now it was absolutely impossible unless Goetia was weaker than Tiamat by more than a margin, perhaps not even on the same level.
.....
〜A Certain Magical Index World〜
Academy City—
"Um…"
Saten Ruiko hesitated to speak.
She suddenly remembered, didn't the legendary King Solomon have seventy-two Demon God Pillars?
Now that one pillar has been defeated, that means there are… seventy-one pillars left?
—
『 "It is too early," a voice came from the void in the quiet space. It was the voice of Lev, who should have died. Fujimaru and Mash's hearts skipped a beat.
They looked toward the source of the voice in disbelief.
"Congratulations on the victory you obtained after using three of your trump cards. Although I am very angry, I still must praise you. Fujimaru Ritsuka, your growth is truly significant."
"But this is meaningless, completely meaningless. Because we are infinite!"
"Now, show yourselves, my brethren!"
Unlike before, the entire space now trembled violently. The terrifying magical reaction was so oppressive that it nearly suffocated the two of them!
From the ground, tentacles thousands of meters long burst forth, shooting straight into the sky. Crimson Demon Eyes covered the stars, and the entire earth was swallowed by those fleshy, twisted Demon God Pillars!
A terrifying, horrifying possibility appeared in Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind!
"Correct. We are this space itself, we are this temple itself! The Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars are not a title, but a description of our form."
In other words, unless all seventy-two Demon God Pillars are destroyed together, they are immortal and indestructible!
And at this moment, Chaldea also suffered a strike from the Demon God Pillars!
Chaldea had fallen into a foam state and began to be absorbed by the Time Temple!
"As long as this domain, this Throne exists, we will not be destroyed!"
"But where is your firepower and your army?! Such existence no longer remains in this domain!" Lev's wild laughter echoed in the quiet space.
First Singularity, The Blast Furnace Naberius... Sixth Singularity, The Peeping Star Amon, Seventh Singularity, The Life Institute Sabnock!
In the instant their crimson Demon Eyes met, an endless, tragic Human History appeared in Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind.
"Correct, this is the Human History you cling to!"
"Final Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka. Fighting you has been truly enjoyable. The futility of persisting in battle until now, the misery of dying having achieved nothing."
"You, along with Chaldea, go and follow the humanity that has already been burned to ash!" 』

[ Lev Lainur Flauros (Type-Moon): "Hahahahahaha! This is what they call a moth flying into the flame. It really was hard work for you to charge in so high-spiritedly!" ]
[ Uzumaki Naruto (Naruto): "After seven Singularities, it turns out the seven Singularities were composed of Demon God Pillars?!" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Ahhh, Traveler, this thing is cheating too much! And those Demon God Pillars look just like blooming chrysanthemums, they're so ugly! What kind of aesthetic did King Solomon have?" ]
[ Daki (Demon Slayer): "Simultaneously killing seventy-two Demon God Pillars… that's basically saying they can't die! No matter how powerful someone is, it's impossible to kill seventy-two of those monsters at once." ]
[ Gyutaro (Demon Slayer): "Looks like these two humans are done for." ]
[ Sora (No game, No life): "Seventy-two Demon God Pillars…?! If one Demon God Pillar requires three servants plus Mash to handle, then at least 300 Heroic Spirits are needed to kill them simultaneously?!" ]
[ Beryl (Type-Moon): "But such a thing is fundamentally impossible. First, given the special nature of this place, without leylines and catalysts, Fujimaru Ritsuka cannot possibly summon that many Heroic Spirits. Even if she could summon them, who would provide the magical energy?" ]
[ Homeless Emperor (One Punch Man): "Hahahahahaha! I get it! I get it! The so-called Savior of Humanity, Chaldea's Last Master, is just an ordinary person who bares her fangs and claws, relying on the power of Heroic Spirits! Let's see who can save you this time!" ]

〜HunterXHunter World〜
"Without Heroic Spirits, it's like a bird that has lost its wings?"
Meruem's expression was flat.
Whether it was in the seventh singularity or the Grand Time Temple, Chaldea borrowed too much, far too much power. That existence claiming to be the Guardian of Human Order was simply pitiably weak.
"Only when one is powerful themselves can they fear nothing..."
Meruem muttered.

〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
Grand Temple of Time: Solomon—
"This is a small universe independent of the world. This time, no one will come to help you!"
"Chaldea, you have jumped into a grave of certain death by yourselves!"
Lev's expression twisted as he laughed heartily…
We shall inevitably realize the great undertaking of reforging the stars!

〜Neon Genesis Evangelion World〜.
Why must the world hold such great malice toward a child…
In a dim room, Ikari Shinji wrapped his arms around his knees, leaning against the wall, his eyes trembling.
He didn't understand. Why must things like saving the world be forcibly handed over to others? Saving the world, saving all of humanity…
Why do they never consider the feelings of others…
—
『 "Hahahahahaha!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHA!!!"
In the next moment, the entire world turned blood-colored. Crimson beams of magical energy covered the whole world. Demon God Pillars, thousands of meters tall, swept across the earth. No matter how Mash tried to defend, she could not withstand it!
Eight Demon God Pillars left the girl with absolutely no room to resist. The terrifying force sent both the person and the shield flying away together!
"Senpai!" Mash watched her Senior being smashed into the ruins and desperately wanted to go forward to rescue her, but just two Demon God Pillars trapped her within!
Mash's shouts, the Demon God's laughter… everything was no longer there.
The world plunged into blackness—
Only darkness remained before Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes. Her exhausted, torn consciousness felt like an abyss, falling endlessly…
As expected, it is still impossible…
Tears of blood slid from the corners of the girl's eyes. Fujimaru Ritsuka was silent, unwilling, furious!
She reprimanded herself!
Fujimaru Ritsuka! What face do you have to fall here! What exactly are you fighting for?
Everyone is moving forward, why are you the only one marking time in PLACE!!!
Countless lives sacrificed for you, countless lives concerned for you! You shoulder the fate of countless humans…
You… how can you fall at a stage like this! Stand up! Continue FIGHTING!!!
The girl desperately opened her eyes, reaching out to grab the last shred of hope, but what entered her vision was still endless darkness and despair.
How should she fight… Can someone tell her, how exactly is she supposed to fight…
Blood and tears streaked across the girl's wretched face. The physical and mental pain experienced through the seven Singularities had long left the girl's body riddled with holes.
Unknown when it started… her world had turned red. There was no going back to anything.
She was just an ordinary high school student who confusedly chose to save humanity.
No talent for magecraft, no abilities exceeding the norm, just struggling again and again, constantly struggling by relying on the power of others…
"Senpai… Senpai…" Mash's voice became increasingly blurred. The girl could no longer suppress the sorrow and self-blame in her heart!
I'm sorry… I'm sorry, everyone...
Clearly, we had walked all the way here, but she failed everyone's expectations. It was her; she was the one who let everyone down.
So tired… really so tired…
The pitch-black abyss opened its maw, swallowing the girl's consciousness bit by bit…
Unwilling, unwilling, unwilling… The girl desperately tried to break free from the restraints, but could only feel the endless despair in her heart bit by bit…
So… from the very beginning, everything she did was meaningless… 』
『 .....』
〜Natsume's Book of Friends World〜
"Absolutely do not give up!"
Natsume stared deeply at Fujimaru Ritsuka on the screen.
The girl saving the world, saving Human Order… absolutely do not give up!
If the ending is not what you wish for, then before the dust settles, fight with all your might!
"She definitely won't lose, that human girl,"
Nyanko-sensei said firmly.
That human girl had the same scent as Natsume!
—
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』.
Countless chaotic and twisted viewers felt the extreme despair coming from Fujimaru Ritsuka at this moment, and the joy in their hearts could no longer be stopped from erupting!
Yes, have you finally realized how pathetic you are!
How can a mere ant save the world?!
Just like that, bearing the abuse and disappointment of the entire world, and die in despair.
But in the next moment, the pupils of all viewers contracted violently, looking at the scene before them in disbelief!
That… how is that kind of thing possible?!!
—
『 "No, calling it meaningless is the real joke. For you, isn't it a bit too fast to give up?" A familiar voice came from the void!
In that endless blood color and darkness, a brilliant light pierced the dark, illuminating the entire world!
In that void, a meteor shower from the pole of the heavens streaked across the starry sky, arriving from the other side!
The scorching, brilliant light pierced through the endless darkness in the girl's heart!
That's right, absolutely… absolutely unwilling to accept THIS!!!
How can I give up HERE!!! Fujimaru Ritsuka roared out!
She saw it! That was the radiance of Human Order, the moment Human Order shines!
A golden banner waved without wind, the Saint's face vivid in her eyes.
Golden Iris flowers bloomed within despair, their meaning being—
VICTORY!!! 』
