At this moment, the final battle in the light screen finally began!
[Boom! Boom! Boom!!!]
[Solomon launched a full-scale assault on Mash. The aftershocks of the attacks turned into roars that echoed throughout the Temple of Time.]
[And Mash deftly maneuvered the shield in her hands, blocking all of Solomon's attacks!]
[After a fierce battle, the King of Mages Solomon finally revealed his original form!]
[He radiated immense magical energy, his eyes revealing complex emotions towards humanity.]
["I am not an incompetent king," he said slowly. "No matter how foolish humans are, I will give a proper evaluation of their courage and perseverance."]
[With these words, the magical energy around Solomon grew brighter and redder, as if about to combust.]
[This battle was destined to be a fight to the death!]
[A suffocating sense of distortion and dissonance was fully unleashed at this moment. All viewers witnessing this scene involuntarily held their breath.]
["Light Band, shine upon the Throne! The great undertaking begins!"]
[Accompanied by this roar, an aura of chaos and darkness instantly filled the entire screen. The sanctity of the Temple of Time was gone, replaced by an ominous, calamitous presence.]
[The King of Mages Solomon finally revealed his true identity: "Hmph—Hahahaha, Hahahahahahahahaha!!! Reveal yourself, receive blessings! This is the Beast of Calamity, one of the Evils of Humanity! Master of Chaldea! You asked me who I am, didn't you? I shall answer your question now."]
["I am the one who exists as the King of Mages Solomon, the incarnation of the Demon King, the organization created by the Demon King, and the first familiar created to lay the foundation for you mages!"]
["I co-ruled the nation with Solomon. I am the origin curse abandoned due to Solomon's death, entrenched within Solomon's remains, obtained through the summoning formula of the flesh."]
[He continued, his voice full of arrogance and disdain: "My name is—Hmph, I shall discard the name 'King of Mages.' There is no need for pretense."]
["I have no name. If you must call me something, call me... an existence that has attained true wisdom and is desired for it. An existence that turns you into sustenance, embarks on a journey to the pinnacle, and creates new stars. An existence that governs the seventy-two pillars and incinerates all of history."]
[Under such declarations, the original King of Mages had completely transformed into a monster brimming with ominous aura!]
["That is, the Incineration Ritual of Human Order—Demon King Goetia!!!"]
With the announcement of Demon King Goetia, all viewers finally understood the true identity of this "King of Mages."
He was not merely the King of Mages Solomon, but also the power lurking behind the Holy Grail War—Demon King Goetia!
In the light screen.
[Goetia pointed to the massive band of light, slowly revealing his true purpose.]
[The goal of him and the Demon God Pillars was not simply to destroy Human Order. They were pursuing a higher realm—to obtain the energy to travel to the past, to coexist with the planet, to transform themselves into a celestial body, and to create a world without death!]
This astonishing plan made all viewers gasp.
However, before they could process it, lines of text about Goetia appeared in the light screen.
[Goetia's goal is to reach the pinnacle and become the sole existence on this planet.]
[Solomon did not choose to correct the hopelessness and ugliness of humanity and ultimately accepted death.]
[But the Demon Gods did not agree. They concluded that humanity and the future were worthless and feared the ending of extinction.]
[Needless to say, their own extinction; they also despised the ending where all existences would perish.]
[Therefore, Goetia resumed his activities by inhabiting the remains of King Solomon, but his mode of existence was paradoxical.]
[Although they asserted humanity was worthless, as Demon Gods, they could not exist without being enslaved by humans.]
[Though they were high-dimensional beings, they felt deeply ashamed to have to live under humanity, whom they considered the greatest waste in the universe.]
[Unwilling to accept this contradiction and dishonesty, Goetia initiated self-transformation.]
[That is, to redefine the purpose of serving humans. To absolutely prove they are the highest existence on this planet. To reach the pinnacle even Solomon could not attain. To commence the great undertaking of becoming a god.]
["All humans must be killed. Must be killed. Must be burned. Not a single person can remain alive on this planet's surface. If you ask why, then I will answer you. Because this is the ultimate meaning of your existence, the most valuable conclusion~"]
[Goetia sent the Demon Gods to the future and drove several points of collapse into the course of human history, causing it to disintegrate.]
[Though it seemed his goal was to annihilate all humans, this was at most a means, not the end. Goetia's goal was to reach the pinnacle.]
[He no longer held any interest in humanity or the future.]
[What he sought was to return to the time 4.6 billion years before this planet's birth, to witness the moment a celestial body was born in this domain, and to take all the energy from that moment for himself.]
[In other words, to make himself a new celestial body and create a new world without death.]
[However, even Goetia was still incapable of time travel on such a scale.]
[To journey to the past, an enormous amount of energy and magical power was indispensable.]
[For instance, the total magical power accumulated by an intelligent species flourishing for 2,500 years. If all human history from 1000 BC to 2016 AD were converted into magical power, the resulting energy would be sufficient to leap back to the planet's beginning.]
[The only side effect would be the incineration of the human race.]
[As far as Goetia was concerned, the human race from its birth to 2016 was merely the first space rocket for him to reach the primordial sky.]
As the text appeared line by line, everyone finally understood the whole story.
A voice sounded in the light screen.
[Let's start over. We can only start over.]
[Start from scratch and recast everything into a perfect form.]
[Not from history. Not from the ecosystem. Not from the continents. Not from time.]
[But from nothingness.]
[We have devised a plan to recreate this planet from scratch.]
[To do this, vast resources are needed. A massive amount of fuel is required.]
[For instance, yes, the heat generated by burning all life on this planet is needed.]
[A single recycling is not enough. It is necessary to recycle it entirely from the future to the past.]
[One second. One minute. One hour. One day. One month. One year.]
[While returning to the past, recycle the heat generated during these intervals.]
[This method can achieve the goal. Recycle the planet's maximum heat over approximately 3,000 years.]
[When all of this is recycled, managed, and controlled, my great undertaking will be accomplished.]
[My fellow precursors scattered across the earth.]
[Inscribe our anger here. Provide a trajectory for our successor brethren to continue advancing.]
[Erect the temple! Overlap the bands of light!]
[To destroy Human Order, all resources are needed.]
[To forget Human Order, all time is needed.]
[Search for the path to the final Singularity. Here lies the Throne of the King of Mages!]
As if in response to that voice, Goetia's own voice sounded. This was Goetia's soliloquy.
[I shall reach the pinnacle.]
[Return 4.6 billion years to the past, witness the moment a celestial body appeared in this domain, and absorb all its energy.]
[Transform myself into a new celestial body and recreate this planet.]
[Rewrite Genesis and construct a planet without the concept of death.]
[This is our great undertaking.]
[We do not seek to destroy humanity out of hatred.]
[It is to obtain the energy to travel to the past, to witness the birth of a celestial body, to control all moments and infinite possibilities.]
[A plan of this scale requires an immense amount of magical power. It requires all the magical power accumulated by the intelligent lifeform that has prospered for 3,000 years.]
[As long as it is the humans from 1000 BC to 2016 AD...]
[The reason for destroying and burning humanity is solely this.]
[To us, humans are nothing more than the booster rockets to reach the primordial sky.]
[Behold the Throne. That is the end of your lives.]
[My Band of Light is the infinite accumulation of human history itself. Before this, humanity stands no chance of victory.]
At this moment, the text vanished, and the soliloquy ended.
All viewers were stunned.
They were shocked by Goetia's ambition, shocked that Goetia dared to conceive of this and take action.
But they were also filled with rage.
[Comments]
[Tōsaka Rin: Huh?! Using all of humanity and all of time as booster rockets to reach the primordial sky?! And calling it righteousness, stealing the name of King Solomon?! What Demon God Pillars, what Demon King, they're just a bunch of death-fearing wishful thinkers!]
[Dr. Roman: Destroying humanity, incinerating Human Order, all for such an absurd reason? I will definitely stop you! Whether in the timeline shown in the light screen or the timeline I'm in now, I will not let this ridiculous plan succeed!]
[Jeanne d'Arc: Humanity is not something you can define as you please!]
[Artoria: Yes! Humanity is not something you can destroy at will!]
[The Wise King Gilgamesh: Fujimaru Ritsuka, the Last Master of Humanity! Let this pitiful creature witness the determination and strength of mankind!]
At this moment, comments flooded the light screen.
All righteous beings condemned Demon King Goetia.
Simultaneously, in the light screen, with a flash of light, it returned to the battle.
[An extremely terrifying magical energy began surging from Goetia's body—a sign that a Noble Phantasm was about to be activated!]
[By now, the Band of Light had been stained scarlet, and an aura of ominous calamity filled the entire Temple of Time.]
[Purple lightning flashed amidst the roar, and flames sufficient to burn the entire world boiled!]
[This was the Noble Phantasm Goetia was about to unleash—[The Time of Birth Hath Come, He Is The One Who Shall Perfect The World]!]
[Faced with this power, everything would be remade, everything would be burned, until it turned to nothingness...]
At this moment, all viewers before the screen were deeply shocked by the scene before them. Images of desolation continuously emerged, as if foreshadowing the world's end.
[Comments]
[Leonardo da Vinci: To actually seek to obtain the magical energy of 3,000 years of human history, then use it to return to the planet's moment of birth and recreate a world without death... Isn't this plan too insane? Moreover, is the magical energy of merely 3,000 years of human history truly sufficient?]
[Sherlock Holmes: The plan is theoretically feasible... But isn't the magical energy of only 3,000 years of human history a bit insufficient? Wouldn't more magical energy be better?]
[Waver Velvet: Don't dwell on that plan anymore... It seems Goetia is about to activate that Noble Phantasm! That Band of Light in the sky is the power of 3,000 years of human history. If it truly descends, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash won't survive!]
[Mordred: Damn it... Although I really want to say Goetia's arrogant plan will never succeed, the disparity in strength between the two sides is just too great right now! There's no chance of survival at all!]
[Ishtar: Goetia's magical energy is no less than Tiamat's when she appeared in Uruk! If that Noble Phantasm is truly activated, then Goetia's plan will really succeed!]
[Flat Escardos: Is there any way? Is there anyone who can stop him?!]
[Tōsaka Tokiomi: Where are all the Heroic Spirits from earlier? Why are none of them here now?]
[Zhuge Kongming (El-Melloi II): They are also pinned down! Those Heroic Spirits are being held back by the Demon God Pillars! Goetia's goal from start to finish has only been one: to kill the Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka! Eliminating Fujimaru Ritsuka means solving all problems at their root!]
In the world of Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA.
Illya looked at this scene, deep despair on her face: "I can't think of any way to counter it... It's a dead end. Relying solely on human power, we simply can't match that Goetia... Could it be that Goetia will succeed like this?"
Miyu and Kuro beside her also showed traces of despair upon hearing this.
They knew that now all the Heroic Spirits were pinned down by the Demon God Pillars, leaving only Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash to fight. Facing such a powerful enemy, they truly had no chance of winning...
