[ ANCIENT OCEAN OF THE DREADNAUGHT GODS, ATLANTIS LOSTBELT— ]
[ THIS IS — THE DAY TO SHOOT DOWN A GOD!!! ]
『 After concluding the Indian Lostbelt, the members of Chaldea began constructing the submarine without stopping for a moment, preparing for the Atlantic Lostbelt.
With the full cooperation of everyone in Chaldea, the Imaginary Number Submarine was quickly completed. Chaldea successfully breached the Fifth Lostbelt, arriving upon a boundless sea.
And at this moment, two figures were quietly watching this scene.
"Are they serious? Those fools at Chaldea, thinking they can cross this sea with that level of combat power?" A figure covered by a brown straw raincoat said in a deep voice.
"Eh? Really! Where, where?" A heroic swordswoman, wielding dual blades and wearing a large red bamboo hat, asked excitedly.
In the blink of an eye, she spotted the handsome battleship on the sea.
She didn't refute the mysterious being's mockery of Chaldea beside her; she even agreed with it.
Because the situation this time was truly terrifying!
This Lostbelt is already complete; it has advanced further than Pan-Human History!
The mysterious being beside her had already predicted Chaldea's miserable defeat, but Musashi kept smiling. As long as they weren't completely wiped out, even a tragic defeat would leave behind lives capable of launching a counterattack.
"So, I should go do what I'm supposed to do," Musashi laughed, raising her dual blades. She was a person who traveled randomly to various locations; her appearance inevitably meant she had a duty to fulfill.
Furthermore…
Musashi looked up, her sharp, piercing gaze seeming to penetrate the blue sky and sea, seeing the final destination of this Lostbelt!
There, countless Heroic Spirits had already charged forward, one after another!
They had long since begun paving the way for Chaldea!
The mysterious man watched Musashi's departing figure without any change in expression, merely letting out a slight sigh.
"This won't do. The iron-wall-like Olympus Fleet, the meteor arrows piercing from beyond detectable range, the void Sea God… There is no leisure time for you to learn and understand here, Ritsuka."
He shook his head, his figure vanishing from the spot, clearly not optimistic about Chaldea's chances. 』

[ Fujimaru Ritsuka (Type-Moon): "…Why does that figure look somewhat familiar? Have I seen him somewhere? Is it… no!" ]
[ Sawamura Eriri (Saekano): "I'm guessing that guy is a blonde? Why is he so tsundere?" ]
[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "Yes, yes, truly a sharp tongue but a soft heart. A super strange person indeed. Is he Chaldea's enemy or friend? It's impossible to tell~ What do you say, Goetia…?" ]
[ Goetia⦍BEASTI⦎ (Type-Moon): "….." ]
[ Nobita Nobi (Doraemon): "Who cares who he is, that's not the point. The point this time is the person who shoots down a god, right? Why haven't they appeared yet! Let me see a real sharpshooter; maybe I could be a Grand too~" ]
[ Orion (Type-Moon): "That's right, where am I?! I can't be a plushie again this time!" ]

Everyone felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with that mysterious figure.
However, his back was turned, and his entire body was covered by the brown cloak, so they couldn't make out who it was at all.
The only thing they could be sure of was that the other party was a tsundere.
That's right. Although he said he wasn't optimistic about Chaldea, the worry in his words betrayed him.
Acquainted with Fujimaru Ritsuka, tough talk but soft heart, tsundere, suspected to be very strong…
Countless figures flashed through everyone's minds. They eliminated them one by one, but in the end, they couldn't pin down an answer.
Could it be a new partner that the Grand Succubus Fujimaru Ritsuka met?
.....
〜A Certain Magical Index World〜
Academy City—
Saten Ruiko suddenly discovered a blind spot.
If the appearance of the Grand Archer is confirmed this time, doesn't the appearance of a Grand imply the appearance of a Beast?
If there is a Beast in that world, but the Grand Archer shoots down a God, then what about the Beast?
Or could it be that God is actually the Beast?
Ruiko was a bit confused.

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜
"It seems the difficulty this time is truly unprecedented."
Through simple deduction and previous hints, the members of Chaldea had already roughly calculated the locations of the seven Lostbelts and the civilizations within them.
They were the Russian, Nordic, SIN, Indian, Atlantic, British, and South American Lostbelts.
According to their guess, the Fifth Lostbelt should have pitted them against the Greek gods, but now that this place is the Atlantic Atlantis, it implies that the Fifth Lostbelt might contain two Lostbelts!
Simply put, just like in a game, you have to defeat all the minions before you can reach the final boss!
Romani looked grave. This meant that what awaited Ritsuka and the others would be the Twelve Gods of Olympus!

『 Inside the Shadow Border (Nautilus), the Chaldea group discussed the Crypters again while analyzing the situation. Every Crypter was a former member of Team A, and so far, they had encountered four of them.
Each one was a super genius beyond Fujimaru Ritsuka's comprehension. And now, in the Fifth Lostbelt, the one they were about to face, Kirschtaria Wodime, was even more terrifying!
He was a true genius, a super magic genius that made the entire Clock Tower tremble!
But what truly terrified everyone was that the Fantasy Tree of the Atlantic Lostbelt had already begun gathering energy, an energy value that could even rival the Incineration of Humanity!
Sion guessed that it must be the impending descent of the Alien God!
In other words, cutting down the Atlantic Lostbelt allowed for absolutely no delay! 』

The audience raised their eyebrows. Although the information was scant, they still found some clues within it.
Alien God? Sounds like an extraterrestrial lifeform?
Should one say this Earth is truly disaster-prone?
Internally, there are Beasts constantly wanting to destroy the Earth to create a perfect, happy world. Externally, the Alien God is eyeing it covetously. At the same time, everyone remembered the First Emperor's "Twin Tails" (Planetary Defense System).
If they had those Earth Twin Tails, they definitely wouldn't let these foreign enemies breach Earth, right?
.....
『 Just then, the group completely broke through the Storm Wall, arriving within the Atlantic Lostbelt!
Meanwhile, above the Atlantic, an Atlantis soldier reported to Odysseus, "Confirmed slight tremors from the Eastern Fourth White Wall. Although it could be an undersea earthquake—"
Clad in black armor, Odysseus interrupted coldly, "Do you think an undersea earthquake would occur at this time? It's most likely Chaldea."
Although he said this, Odysseus was already incredibly certain in his heart: It was Chaldea!
Before this, he had not only hunted down the Heroic Spirits in this area early on but also severed the leylines here, making it impossible for Chaldea to summon Heroic Spirits!
At this moment, he calculated the position where Chaldea would appear, intending to surround them with the fleet while simultaneously preparing to deploy Demonic Beasts.
The Mother of Monsters, Echidna. In terms of size, she was almost comparable to Tiamat. This was the secret weapon of the Atlantic!
But this wasn't enough. Odysseus looked toward the horizon, into the distant starry sky, where a cold, magnificent battleship stood in the sea of stars!
The moment Chaldea appeared, they ran headlong into the entire main force of Atlantis!
The Divine Spirit Servant Caenis stood directly on the Shadow Border. Cerberus roared as it approached, and countless Demonic Beasts surrounded Chaldea tightly.
Odysseus issued his final ultimatum to Chaldea, "I hereby convey this: We shall swiftly eradicate you. There will be no surrender, no submission, no peace talks, no negotiation. I will definitely kill you! Until I have confirmed your extinction!"
Without the slightest hesitation, after finishing his words, attacks rained down like a violent storm. The successive strikes left Chaldea unable to even react! 』

[ Ristarte: (Cautious Hero): "It's just like Seiya! Isn't this too cautious?! This is like using an ultimate move to fight a slime!" ]
[ Aizen Sosuke (Bleach): "An unprecedented villain mindset? Truly interesting." ]
[ Chaotic Evil Gudako (Type-Moon): "Bastard! How is the protagonist supposed to play like this? If everyone were like you, TV dramas wouldn't last past three episodes!" ]

[ Duanmu Yan (Armor Hero): "Although I feel a toothache for the opening thunderstrike Fujimaru and the others encountered, isn't this exactly what should be done?! Strike with thunderous force when it's time to strike! Show no mercy to any Ocrisser! Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit!" ]
[ Flame Emperor (Armor Warriors): "Hahahahaha! Not bad, kid, I like you. Duanmu Yan, was it? You also play with armor, right? If you can, try my Shura Armor!" ]
[ Odysseus (Type-Moon): "Why should I show mercy to invaders attempting to destroy our home?" ]
[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "Hehe! That's right! Finally seeing someone normal who doesn't suffer from intelligence degradation, Ritsuka, this is truly a surprise prepared for you by the gods, yahoo~!" ]

〜Boardtop World Disboard, Zero Timeline〜
The Old Deus race was dismissive, thinking Odysseus was making a fuss over nothing, just like the monkeys in their world.
If someone said those monkeys might defeat a God and seize the divine throne, and that they should use their strongest attack to kill those monkeys now, and completely exterminate all monkeys just to be safe…
If someone said that, they would laugh their heads off!
Don't joke around; no matter how much those monkeys struggle, they can't achieve that~

〜One Piece World〜
"How can this be…"
Looking at the vast sea on the screen and the tightly surrounded Shadow Border, the Straw Hat crew broke out in a cold sweat.
This situation was like them just leaving the East Blue—Chopper's bounty hadn't even exceeded single digits—and suddenly the Three Admirals brought countless Marines to surround them.
"How despairing is this…"

〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
In the 5th Lostbelt, Ancient Ocean of the Dreadnaught Gods, Atlantis Lostbelt—
Odysseus sneered. If he couldn't command the great God Zeus, he would have already asked him to initiate the Twelve Machine God Combination to annihilate Chaldea!
Odysseus didn't have the slightest carelessness or contempt. What did it mean that Chaldea could kill their way through the previous four Lostbelts?
The opponent definitely possessed qualities beyond those of ordinary people. In other words, not a single accident could be allowed to happen!
He had no goodwill towards those who wanted to destroy their home. Giving them a swift death was the greatest mercy!

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Countless viewers revealed the bizarre expression of the "Old Man on the Subway looking at a phone" meme.
No… isn't something wrong here?!!
Shouldn't he let Chaldea fully develop in this Lostbelt, gather all their strength, and finally engage in a decisive battle after a round of verbal sparring?
Why go for the kill the moment Chaldea appears?
And with all those prior preparations, isn't it a bit too…
Wait, everyone was suddenly startled. Their thoughts just now… why did they have the thought of letting the enemy grow?!!
Everyone's expression suddenly became fearful. Could this be the Will of the World?!
But everyone believed that Chaldea could still survive. After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a girl with a protagonist halo!
This kind of attack wouldn't amount to much against them…
The next moment, everyone was rendered speechless.
.....
『 "Driven into a corner, they have only one method left, and that is Imaginary Number Dive!" Odysseus said coldly.
Chaldea knew nothing about the enemies in Atlantis, but Odysseus seemed to know everything about Chaldea!
He knew that when driven to desperation, the opponent would run regardless of the cost. Given the kinetic energy of their submarine, using a spatial jump might actually allow them to escape, but…
Odysseus looked toward the firmament, toward the boundless universe above!
"In that case, we require a setup from the heavens that is neither miracle nor coincidence."
At the same moment, the faces of everyone in Chaldea turned pale with shock. Servants like Mash, Da Vinci (Lily), and Holmes revealed expressions of extreme discomfort!
Sweat poured down Fujimaru Ritsuka's face. A prickling pain like needle points left her completely bewildered!
Having experienced Singularities and Lostbelts, having experienced countless dangers, the girl knew with absolute clarity in this moment!
THIS WAS A DEATH PREMONITION!!!
Where… The group looked around blankly for the source of this fatal threat. Odysseus? No, they just needed to keep defending and confirm coordinates to perform an Imaginary Number Dive and leave here.
Then, where was this fatal sense of crisis coming from?!
The next moment, there was no need to search any longer, because in that sea of stars, A TERRIFYING AMOUNT OF MAGICAL ENERGY WAS GATHERING FRANTICALLY AT THIS VERY MOMENT!!!
After using the super-telescope, everyone finally saw the exquisite machine standing in the sea of stars, that perfect union of technology and magic!
That was none other than one of the Twelve Gods of Olympus, the Moon Goddess Artemis!
So beautiful, yet so deadly!
The Imaginary Number Dive was about to complete, and at that very moment—
Anti-Star Noble Phantasm charge complete—
"Thou, Star Piercing Gold"
⦍SHOOTING STAR ORTYGI⦎
A world-destroying beam sliced through the sea of stars and the firmament, striking directly at Chaldea!
"BOOM—!!" 』
