Chapter 91.17: The End of All Things! Reaching the Throne! The Final Battle with Goetia!!
『 The terrifying Holy Lance transfixed heaven and earth, its torrent of light shrouding the entire world!
A berserk hurricane swept the flesh and blood of the Demon God Pillar into a sieve! Under the nature of this tempest, the Demon God Pillar's power was drastically weakened!
The Heroic Spirits below were all awestruck by this terrifying strike; Mordred was so agitated that she was rendered speechless! FATHER!!!
But they reacted quickly! While the Demon God Pillar was weakened, they had to suppress it and carve open a path for Chaldea!
Sakata Kintoki shifted his Spirit Origin, transforming from the Berserker Class to the Rider Class.
Tamamo-no-Mae, possessed of a bewitching beauty, felt anxious about the Origin presiding over this Temple of Time. They had already encountered a Demon God Pillar once in the London Singularity.
At that time, Tamamo had stated that this was not something she, with only two tails, could handle.
So, there was only one method left: add a few more tails through imaginary visualization~
Although it wouldn't reach her prime form, it would be enough to suppress the Demon God alongside everyone else~ 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
Shuttling through the Lostbelts, Koyanskaya's heart trembled upon seeing this scene.
Yare yare! If you add a few more tails, she'll be witnessing a Beast fighting a Beast directly!
As everyone knows, Beasts are mutually exclusive. Koyanskaya, born from the concept of Tamamo-no-Mae, naturally knew that Tamamo-no-Mae in her complete form was precisely the Beast of Calamity!
Adding one tail multiplies combat power by nine. If her initial combat power is compared to 100, then Nine-Tails would be…
Koyanskaya counted on her fingers— 387, 420, 489?!!
With that high and low, wouldn't she just turn into a Beast on the spot and solo-run Boss Goetia and the Heroic Spirits here?! She wouldn't even fear facing that sleeping giant spider, would she?
Do not doubt it; the main body, the Nine-Tailed Tamamo-no-Mae, is just that exaggerated!
Meanwhile.
The First Emperor and Taigong Wang raised their eyebrows.
Is that Daji?!
In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower—
"Uwah! It's Lia's adult form plus Alter mode~! Screenshot, I must take a screenshot!"
Merlin trembled with excitement!
Even he had only seen the Black Saber form once during the Fuyuki Singularity!
And an adult Lia must be cherished~ Merlin gazed excitedly at Lancer Alter's broad 'human heart' and silently gave it a thumbs up.
This is the legendary Southern Hemisphere!
Recalling the flat and unremarkable Lia, Merlin feigned sorrow.
My King, oh Lia, you have no 'heart'!
In the 6th Lostbelt, Fae Round Table Domain, Avalon le Fae Lostbelt—
"Unable to let go of the obsession in your heart, you actually turned into this appearance. Artoria, you have truly fallen!"
Morgan huffed coldly.
Holding the Holy Lance, eroded by the polluted Holy Grail, she eventually ended up in such a state.
Inexplicably, Morgan felt a sense of sorrow for Artoria. Artoria, manifesting as a Heroic Spirit, was undoubtedly an extremely powerful entity.
But alas, her lack of knowledge always kept her in the fog, wandering in absolute confusion.
Fate/Apocrypha Worldline—
That's right! That's right!
"Father definitely has me in his heart! Otherwise, why are we summoned together every time!"
Mordred rolled back and forth in excitement!
Father! It's me, Mo-chan!

The crowd curiously sized up this legendary King Arthur.
King Arthur of the Lancer Class?
Unexpectedly, not only was she female, but she was also a beauty of such caliber. It was just somewhat strange that the brilliant gold flickering in Artoria's eyes seemed to be… dense Divinity?!
The King Arthur of men had become a god. Could it be… The crowd turned their gaze to the bleeding, thorny Holy Lance in King Arthur's hand.
Did this Holy Lance erode King Arthur?
At the same time, powerhouses from countless worlds discerned that the Holy Lance possessed the function of an anchor; it was an existence equivalent to a World Foundation, the Anchor of the Storm that tethers the stars!
To think it was controlled in the hands of King Arthur, though the price was that the human King Arthur would inevitably be transformed into a cold, unfeeling God!
.....
『 Under the suppression of the multi-tailed Tamamo-no-Mae and the assembly of Heroic Spirits against the Demon God Pillar, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash soon arrived at the Fifth Singularity.
The nine Demon God Pillars of "Flames of War" were already engaged in battle with Nightingale, Rama, and others!
Flames of War—it wasn't just the Demon God Pillars who felt this way; the human Heroic Spirits felt the same!
But unlike the Demon God Pillars, the pity and reverence of the Heroic Spirits and humanity were built on the foundation of moving forward!
Pity and reverence with the purpose that those who lost family and friends would not lose even more.
Medb confessed to Chaldea that being defeated in the Fifth Singularity was indeed somewhat frustrating, but this did not mean she had any issue with Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Beside her, the Berserker Class Cu Chulainn Alter also stepped forward.
He lamented that it was precisely because he had witnessed the last Master of humanity struggling unceasingly in desperate straits that they, who were once enemies, chose to exist here as beings of the past to help Chaldea.
To carve open a path for Chaldea's advance! 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
Cu Chulainn was shaken!
That is… him in the Berserker Class?!
Looking at the thorny spear mixed with black and crimson, radiating an ominous aura, Cu Chulainn found it hard to imagine what exactly he existed as in that Singularity, and for what he was fighting.
But he saw endless bloodlust on that figure. Was he fighting for Medb?
Did he eventually succumb to that woman… or was he summoned in the Berserker Class by that woman out of pure malice?
Cu Chulainn smiled bitterly, but what made him more curious was…
Surely the luck of his Berserker self isn't Rank E anymore, right?
Clearly, this matter had already become an obsession in the dog's heart.

『 The Sixth Gate. The nine Demon God Pillars presiding over "Observation," constructing logic, devouring Human Order!
Here, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash saw one familiar figure after another.
Xuanzang Sanzang, Touta, Pharaoh Ozymandias, Nitocris, the three Hassans, and the three Knights of the Round Table!
Ozymandias, who was originally somewhat uncooperative, suddenly shook with emotion upon seeing Arash, instantly energized like a fanboy seeing his big brother!
Meanwhile, in the distant starry sky, a figure rode a warhorse, gripping the Holy Lance, treading upon the galaxy—the Lion King, Artoria Pendragon!
Another silver figure was the shining Silver Arm, Bedivere!
Seeing the internal disunity and the powerful Demon God Pillar, the two did not hesitate and chose to release their Noble Phantasms directly!
"Take my soul and go forth!"
"Switch On—Airgetlam—!"
⦍O Silver Arm, Take Up Thy Sword⦎
"Light, may you be released from the ends of the world."
"Split the heavens and tether the earth, anchor of the storm!"
"Rhongomyniad—"
⦍The Lance That Shines to the End of the World⦎
Holy Sword and Holy Lance were released simultaneously!
Terrifying magical energy converged, seemingly tearing space itself apart. In the depths of the starry sky, a holy long lance pierced through heaven and earth, plummeting straight to the ground!
That was the Furthest Lance, which, even if restricted by the Thirteen Restraints, would shine while singing the light of the STARS—!!!
"BOOM—!" 』

[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "Ah, poor Mo-chan, she's gone mad." ]
[ Morgan le Fay (Type-Moon): "Is it hard to understand, my poor sister? You appeared in two Singularities in different forms. Each different form means that due to your obsession, your fate shifted. How tragic. You possess such power, yet you are always so ignorant and ill-informed. Someone like you will only ever be played in the palm of others' hands. Don't you agree, Merlin?" ]
[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "Huh? Hahahahahaha, I don't know, this has nothing to do with me, right?" ]
[ Chaotic Evil Gudako (Type-Moon): "Wait a minute! Is no one paying attention to the Great Hero Arash?! Someone hurry up and launch him!" ]

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
The crowd was shocked by the terrifying power of the Lion King, wielding the Holy Lance, while simultaneously unable to help but wonder what Artoria's obsession truly was.
To the point where, after wielding the Holy Lance, fate's choices birthed two terrifying Holy Lance Goddess timelines.
So, counting the two Holy Lance forms of Artoria, plus the original world's Holy Sword-wielding Artoria, and if the Holy Sword version has a blackened form…
Does Artoria have this many If timelines?
Just counting, there are already four! And judging by the chat room, there are even more?!
If there were a few more classes, couldn't they just fight a Holy Grail War amongst themselves?!
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
Ozymandias gazed deeply at Arash on the screen.
Ozymandias's expression was unreadable. Although he didn't want to admit it, even he, who was incredibly arrogant and viewed everything as nothing, still had people he admired and respected in this life.
One was the Grand Old Man, King Hassan, who once severed his head with a single sword strike in the Ramesseum Tentyris. The other was the one who, in a certain Holy Grail War, fought one against six without falling to a disadvantage.
Finally, in a last contest with a certain Heroic Spirit, he used a "Clash of Pyramids," and that man fired that brilliant, magnificent arrow.
He was the Great Hero, Arash!

『 The Seventh Gate— the nine Demon God Pillars presiding over the "Chamber of Life," blessing birth, and praising coupling.
But when Fujimaru and Mash arrived, they were somewhat dumbfounded looking at the scene before them. The Demon God Pillars, who were incomparably arrogant in other Singularities, now appeared somewhat… delicate and flustered?!!
To the side, Ishtar and Enkidu were bickering, looking as if they would start killing each other at the slightest disagreement.
Ereshkigal, big sister Quetzalcoatl, and Jaguar Warrior looked at the two helplessly.
Ushiwakamaru, Benkei, Leonidas, and others who should have exited during the battles of the seventh singularity were forcibly dragged by Ereshkigal to serve as coolies for repairing the Underworld. Originally, it was agreed they could return to the Throne of Heroes once repairs were done.
But Ushiwakamaru, feeling guilty about her blackening, even suggested she had no face to see Fujimaru Ritsuka again, so she begged Ereshkigal to let them persist until now.
Thus, these three had lived from the Uruk Singularity until now with the same Spirit Origin.
Ishtar was stunned. She had watched Ereshkigal exit with her own eyes, so how?
But upon hearing this, Ereshkigal's face flushed red, as if afraid someone would discover something. She hurriedly explained that it was a very complicated issue and not to discuss it further here.
In short, a lot of things happened, and now they should deal with the Demon God Pillars first!
At this moment, Quetzalcoatl curiously asked where Merlin was.
Ana explained that Merlin was not participating this time because he seemingly couldn't walk here on foot. Ana took out a communication device, and Merlin's projection appeared.
He explained that because he was busy updating the Magical Girl Mari homepage, he could not head to this battle. 』

[ Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba): "LMAO, the Demon God Pillars are sweating now! It's a real Ragnarok." ]
[ Sakata Gintoki Sakata (Gintama): "The Demon God Pillar looks like a delicate young girl." ]
[ Fou (Type-Moon): "Fou!" (Scum Merlin) ]
[ Romani Archaman (Type-Moon): "Wait a minute! Did I just hear something incredible! Merlin, what are you busy doing?!" ]
[ Fujimaru Ritsuka (Type-Moon): "It's over, the Doctor's sky has fallen. Wait, the Doctor won't die of anger at Merlin, right?!" ]
[ Ishtar⦍Archer⦎ (Type-Moon): "Didn't you guys notice? Besides Merlin, there's another guy who didn't show up?! Kinpika, where are you!" ]
[ Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎ (Type-Moon): "Hmph! Fool! Do you intend for this King to compete on the same stage as you mongrels?! This King naturally has more important things to do!" ]

No, absolutely impossible. The Magical Girl Mari he watches is Merlin or something… such a thing, absolutely not!
Magical Girl Mari turning out to be Scum Merlin—such a thing, at least wait until he's been dead for ten years before… AAAAAHH!
Romani collapsed on the ground, the light in his eyes completely vanishing.
Merlin, you old thief… cute Magical Girl Mari… his heart is broken…
Merlin, you have done every evil deed imaginable! His heart, which originally wanted to end it all, completely solidified at this moment!

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
The crowd was equally curious about where Gilgamesh went. After all, as the Oldest King of Heroes who completely overshadowed Fujimaru Ritsuka in the seventh singularity, it was impossible not to be curious.
More important things? A conjecture suddenly appeared in everyone's mind. Gilgamesh has always been a Grand candidate, right?
The timeline here is so chaotic; could it be that the Gilgamesh appearing this time is a Grand existence?!
Is he the one who's going to fight the Beast?!!
For a moment, countless possibilities floated in everyone's minds. Countless female viewers had already imagined the MVP settlement screen for the King of Heroes!
Little did they know…
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
"Achoo!"
Gilgamesh sneezed violently.
Facing the questions of Siduri, Enkidu, Kingu, and others, he smiled faintly.
In later generations, there seems to be something called a power bank, right?

『 Under the suppression of numerous gods, the Demon God Pillars had no power to resist at all.
And the seven Singularities representing the seven Gates had thus been traversed; each Singularity required Heroic Spirits to suppress it!
And with this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash finally arrived at the end of everything!
They had arrived at the THRONE!!! 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who already knew Solomon's true identity, took a deep breath, his eyes flickering with a determination never seen before!
…Let's settle this! GOETIA!!!
No matter what happens! They will definitely reclaim all of humanity's FUTURE!!!
—
『 The world turned to ash and white once more; a stinging, cold sense of desolation and loneliness washed over Fujimaru and Mash's hearts.
It was the same illusion as last time!
Fujimaru and Mash's hearts trembled, taking deep breaths to try and remain calm, but even more pale and painful images flashed before their eyes.
Pain, distortion, wailing; people dying, people weeping bitterly, people clasping their hands together in devout prayer to a certain existence.
They cried tears of blood, turning into white bones, leaving only trails of blood in their wake, writing of pain and despair.
White script was slowly written, resembling someone's frozen heart.
I, have always been watching this kind of scenery. We, have always been having our eyes gouged out. Impossible to tire of it. Impossible to get used to it.
The daily lives you weave are always so realistic, without any falsehood, without any room for salvation. The most perfect performance.
Whether it is the arrogance that implicated numerous lives, or the insignificant loneliness that ended alone.
To us… It is all the same. We know clearly that this is what happens beside us.
Boring. Interesting. Boring. Interesting. Boring. Interesting.
Cannot laugh. Cannot cry. Cannot laugh. Cannot cry.
Ah, truly… why must we have dealings with such existences?
The script was written faster and faster. The pain Fujimaru and Mash could feel deepened, the biting chill and sorrow making their expressions agonized.
What exactly is this? So… so despairing and painful!
Blurred dialogue repeatedly appeared in their minds.
Witnessed much sorrow. Witnessed much sorrow. Even if Solomon feels nothing, I—no, we—cannot endure this treatment!
"Do you feel nothing? Do you not intend to correct all of this?!!" A certain existence questioned in anger.
"I will not. Because God is an existence that admonishes humans, the King is merely an existence that organizes humans." A certain existence responded indifferently.
…The sorrow of others does not bring me loss… Humans are creatures that judge in this way.
OPPRESSION, DESPAIR, WAILING, SILENCE, INCOMPREHENSION, ERUPTION!!!
Blood-red color seemed to explode violently before Fujimaru and Mash's eyes!
That script turned into the color of blood, written and carved with twisted ferocity!
How can we endure such logic! HOW CAN WE ALLOW SUCH LAWS!!!
We negotiate, we resolve!
—TO PART WAYS WITH EVERYTHING!!! 』
