A Lostbelt?!
Everyone's interest was suddenly piqued. Was this the challenge Chaldea would have to face after the Incineration of Human Order ended?!
The crowd recalled that earlier scene once more: Chaldea had saved the world, only to be shut out by the Human Order. So…
What exactly did Chaldea do to end up in such a state?!
For a moment, the eyes of countless viewers across the Myriad Realms were filled with curiosity!
But in the next moment, something unexpected happened. A hint appeared, and the content of that hint…
.....
[ Ding! A hint will be provided for this question. Please watch patiently— ]
『 What is a Lostbelt—
It is the dregs of history. A Lostbelt can be viewed as a type of parallel world, but one that was excised due to certain reasons; it is a parallel world not acknowledged by the World.
Because these parallel worlds reached a dead end, they occupied the capacity of the observable world. To clear up space, the World deleted these useless, false existences.
A Lostbelt is established after this fact. The things that were already deleted are restored through illegal means, and then Crypters intervene in an attempt to alter these parallel worlds.
The formation of every Lostbelt is related to the choices made during specific historical events and their resulting prosperity. Those historical lines based on wrong choices or failures are known as Lostbelts.
They stand in opposition to Pan-Human History. Pan-Human History represents the history of victors based on correct choices and correct prosperity.
Servants within a Lostbelt cannot be summoned via the Holy Grail War, because Servant summoning relies on a bond with that Heroic Spirit. In a completely different parallel world, no one possesses such a bond! 』

[ Aqua (KonoSuba): "Gwah! You're cheating! You're cheating! Why do you guys get to answer, looking directly at the answer! Guessing the question based on the answer, right?! Rigged! It's rigged! I seriously suspect the three of them have some under-the-table deal!" ]
[ Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba): "Indeed. Asking what a Lostbelt is, and then directly answering?! That's too much! At least tell them secretly or something!" ]
[ Otsutsuki Kaguya (Naruto): "Lostbelt… A false world?" ]
[ Doflamingo (One Piece): "Fuffuffuffu, why does this feel like 'winner takes all'? Not acknowledged by the World? Who exactly does 'the World' refer to? This is too interesting." ]
[ Alaya (Type-Moon):"...." ]
[ Gaia (Type-Moon): "...." ]
[ Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece): "Ah, so what's the answer?" ]
[ Nami (One Piece): "IDIOT CAPTAIN!!! Didn't it just tell you directly!" ]

"Mother…"
Black Zetsu glanced at his mother's name on the screen, his expression shaken.
But he quickly concealed it, returning to normal.
Looking at the hint given on the screen, Black Zetsu sneered. Only a fool would believe that was the correct answer. There must be a trick!
But Mother would definitely not fall for it!
On the Moon—
Otsutsuki Kaguya looked at the question with a dazed, blank expression. After a moment, she chose to believe the given hint.
Mn… silly child.

In the 7th Lostbelt, Golden Sea of Trees, Nahui Mictlān—
"The greatest ugliness of Human History."
Daybit shook his head.
Was this the most ugly scene of Human History finally going to be displayed?
In that case, even if one wanted to destroy this world, it would be impossible.
In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower—
Merlin danced with excitement. This was too interesting! This was the kind of amusement he really wanted to see!
Although the 'Ultimate Insult' was interesting! And the 'Room Full of Filial Piety' was equally amusing!
But… the amusement from his own world was still more interesting!
Merlin gazed at the question on the screen. He knew things would absolutely not be that simple.
What is a Lostbelt?
"Just as life involves competition, history also has winners and losers. Now, the history of the victors is based on correct choices and correct prosperity! This is called Pan-Human History."
And the history of the losers, based on wrong choices and wrong prosperity, is interrupted as "unnecessary things," and even discarded by the theory of parallel worlds as "Human History that has reached a dead end"—these are called "Lostbelts"!
But…
Merlin tilted his head. Who judges this "wrong"?
Is it right or wrong just because someone says so?!
Moreover, what excited Merlin even more was that she might be able to see Brother Zheng(Qin Shi Huang) here!

Everyone frowned in unison. The question is… What is a Lostbelt?
And then the answer appeared directly right here?!!
Isn't this just a freebie question?!!
No! It absolutely wouldn't be this simple! If it were truly this simple, there wouldn't be so few people who had answered correctly up to this point!
Everyone waited quietly for the real answer!
Soon, the countdown ended, and the three contestants' answers appeared on the screen.

[ Kiritsugu Emiya (Type-Moon): "Dregs of history" ]
[ Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece): "Is it something to eat?" ]
[ Otsutsuki Kaguya (Naruto): "A wrong world" ]
[ .....]
[ Ding! All three answers are incorrect. ]
[ Correct Answer— A Lostbelt is a land of delusion where beautiful ideals are entrusted! ]
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
In the 6th Lostbelt, Fae Round Table Domain, Avalon le Fae Lostbelt—
A breathtakingly beautiful figure trembled slightly, and ripples actually flashed in Morgan's eyes.
( Translator-kun: My Queen.. )
A land of delusion where beautiful ideals are entrusted… So that supreme existence actually sees them that way?
That's right… Isn't this exactly… the place where their last beautiful hopes are entrusted in their hearts…
So delusional. Morgan sat upon the Jade Throne, looking down at this Fairy Kingdom.
These fairies… beautiful, yet ugly to the extreme.

Soon, the screen began to play.
『 After the Incineration of Human Order was resolved, Chaldea invited all Heroic Spirits to celebrate, but the very next day, they were disbanded by the Clock Tower.
Because no one knew of Chaldea's great achievements. Even if told, they would not acknowledge it; the Clock Tower would only believe Chaldea harbored illegal intentions!
And the savior who saved the world, Fujimaru Ritsuka, was also set to be expelled from Chaldea the following day!
Throwing a massive amount of money to buy Chaldea, the new Director, Goredolf Musik, would take charge of everything here. As for the so-called salvation from the Incineration of Human Order, Goredolf treated it as a joke.
No one would believe such a thing. Are you saying the world's three top magecraft organizations couldn't solve it, or didn't even notice the event, but this Chaldea quietly solved it?
It was simply a massive joke!
The chubby blonde Director Goredolf laughed heartily. This really made him, the eldest son of a family with terrifying magecraft heritage, laugh his head off!
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
On the very next day, just as Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to be driven away, the entire Chaldea suffered an unprecedented terrorist attack!
The entire Chaldea was frozen!
Countless Chaldea staff members died miserably within, and Da Vinci was killed by a priest while covering everyone's escape!
The people of Chaldea who fled in panic then received a terrifying fact they found even harder to accept!
From the distant sea of stars, seven streaks of ultimate light descended. Those were the Trees of Emptiness!
The foundations of the Lostbelts. Brilliant light enveloped the entire world; seven worlds were now upon this world!
And the voices of seven Crypters rang out simultaneously!
What shocked everyone was… the seven Crypters were actually the members of Chaldea's A-Team!!
Led by Kirschtaria, he issued a proclamation to all of humanity—
"We issue a proclamation to all of humanity. From this moment forth, this planet shall be reborn as an ancient yet brand-new world."
"Human civilization was incorrect. Our growth was incorrect. Therefore, I have made a decision to rise in rebellion against the Human History up to this point—Pan-Human History!"
"Once again, let the world be filled with non-human mysteries. Let this planet return to the Age of Gods. To this end, a God has descended here from the distant cosmos."
"Using seven seeds, new leaders will be selected. The leaders will reshape this planet, and the most excellent Lostbelt leader will update the world."
"This competition does not allow the participation of Pan-Human History lifeforms! Nor will seats be set for them to spectate."
"The Tree of Emptiness has taken root in the soil. The Tree of Creation has already spread across the earth."
"From this moment on, everything of the Human Order will be frozen. Your sins shall be liquidated!"
" 2018. Human History ends!" 』

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜
"Why… Why on earth!"
The orange-haired girl's eyes were filled with fury!
Disbanded by the Clock Tower and losing the Heroic Spirits? She endured it. Not acknowledged by the Clock Tower? She endured it. Expelled by the Clock Tower? She still endured it.
Enduring again and again, like a turtle retracting its head, and for what result?!!
In the end, everything they did was completely negated by a few airy sentences from these guys in the A-Team?!
They risked their lives to save the world! She worked so hard to save everything, and then someone negated it with a single sentence?!
"What right… Do you have to negate us!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes actually flickered with distortion and chaos at this moment!
The Chaotic Evil Gudako was already indescribable!
Good, good, good!
Do you really think Chaotic Evil Gudako is easy to bully?!!
She didn't want to know why these people betrayed the Human Order, because the Human Order wasn't exactly a good thing either!
Right now, she only knew that the future she had fought so hard to reclaim was so easily stolen by these guys of unknown origin, and she was very unhappy!
She felt like tearing something apart with her bare hands!

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
The corners of everyone's mouths could no longer be stopped from rising!
What a… What a farce!
Watching Romani and the others boast about the A-Team earlier! They thought the A-Team was amazing, but now they had actually become the enemies of Chaldea… no, enemies of the entire Pan-Human History!
Joy! THIS WAS SIMPLY TOO JOYFUL!!!
And in this moment, a figure suddenly flashed through everyone's minds. Green clothes, curly hair, THE BLIND LEV!!!
That guy… At this moment, everyone frowned tightly. Connecting everything together, they actually felt a chill!
Could it be that all of this was planned by Lev long ago?!
Is this the gold content of the Grand Bomber?!!

[ Ding! Random extraction of Lostbelt events will now proceed! ]
[ Ding! Random extraction complete. The results are: The First Lostbelt, The King of the Qin Lostbelt, Qin Shi Huang! The Fifth Lostbelt, The Atlantic Lostbelt! Grand Archer Orion! ]
〜A Certain Magical Index World〜
"It's actually that person!"
Saten Ruiko revealed a look of excitement!
She had admired the First Emperor for a long time!
Long before coming to Academy City, she had always looked up to that First Emperor, the progenitor who first realized the unification of the land and established the status of 'Emperor' in the East, which prided itself on its long history!
Based on the commandery system of centralized power, unifying currency and weights and measures, and reorganizing the transportation network.
These were numerous great achievements that laid the foundation for what could be called the prosperity of the future East, although his cruel ideological suppression, such as the burning of books and burying of scholars, was also widely known.
But in Ruiko's view, that was for the greater trend, for the greater trend of the world at that time!
At that time, the Great Qin needed an absolutely correct and suitable ideology, and clearly, Confucianism was not it, nor was it suitable. It had even once guided countless outstanding people toward the abyss of error as a wrong ideology.
But regrettably, in his later years, the First Emperor sought immortality and explored the mysteries of the immortal realm, attempting to explore the entire East, but died without success.
There was even a legend that the origin of Japan came from the team(Xu Fu) sent by the First Emperor to seek the elixir of immortality.
She wondered what kind of glory the First Emperor of that world possessed. Ruiko believed that although the worlds were different, his epic legend would definitely not be inferior in the slightest!
"I just wonder if the First Emperor here will also seek the elixir of immortality?"
Ruiko was curious.
Lifespan is a taboo for all emperors. The King of Heroes Gilgamesh, the First Emperor, and all famous kings throughout history and across the world have had such troubles.
The girl was a bit distracted, but in the next moment, she was attracted by the figure on the screen!
( Translator-kun: Just ignore the glazed here, Author-san needs it, or it will be axed... but based on Saten's personality, she may be a huge fan of Qin Shi Huang.. who knows. )

『 A magnificent and tall figure stood erect over the entire Earth. Qin Shi Huang, dressed in dark robes adorned with gold, looked down upon the entire Earth!
This posture was the ultimate form of human existence!
The only True Man who conquered death, transcended Yin and Yang, and reached the eternal truth, the Emperor who governs the human world between heaven and earth.
With a wave of his hand, a magnificent Great Wall enveloped the entire Earth!
Everything within was already under his control! And the only things that could pose a threat to Earth were enemies from outside the universe!
Shouldering the stars, the one who transcended Yin and Yang issued a deterrent to the entire universe!
"I, in the name of the First Emperor, swear an oath here! While I live, I shall defend the soil and expand the borders! Sweep away the four barbarians and secure the foundation of my Great Qin!"
"If I die! I shall transform into a dragon soul to protect my Huaxia warriors from decline! Let the sun and moon be witnesses to this oath, let heaven and earth be the mirror, and let all immortals, demons, ghosts, AND GODS LISTEN!!!" 』

Sweeping across the six directions, SWALLOWING THE EIGHT WASTELANDS!!!
The King of a Lostbelt… Is this the Eternal First Emperor of the East?!
Isn't this a bit too domineering?!!
For a moment, countless viewers were made to feel their blood boil by these words of Qin Shi Huang!
Now, everyone was even more curious: what exactly did this First Emperor do?!
