〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"There has never been any grand or magnificent reason, just a simple sentence… for the sake of survival!"
It wasn't to protect the Human Order either; that was because when Fujimaru was the only person left in the world, he himself was the proof of the Human Order's existence!
Fujimaru Ritsuka began fighting simply to survive, continued fighting for the survival of some, and persisted in fighting to survive on behalf of others.
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜
In the 7th Singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
Ishtar stared wide-eyed at the incredible scene before her:
"It looks like the outcome has been decided…"
Fujimaru Ritsuka, humanity's final Master, had truly accomplished an impossible feat, achieving a 'Great Deed' that would be difficult to even record!
To confront the Beast-class Goetia with a human body; this wasn't strength in terms of power, but strength of spirit and heart!
"Yes, the outcome is decided…"
Merlin also watched the screen with immense calm:
"Fighting to survive, that is the instinct of biological continuity. Such a simple truth, yet Goetia, born as a Beast, failed to notice even this."
After the video plays, I'm afraid I'm going to be busy again… Thinking of this, Merlin reached out and scratched his hair somewhat helplessly; he already had enough on his plate.
Not only did he have to ensure Mother Goddess Tiamat had a good dream, but he also had to think about how to deal with the future that had already been altered. Thinking about it was truly quite exhausting.
After all, if Roman, this top contributor, were to die, wouldn't his updates to the Magi-Mari website be for nothing?!
〜Bleach World〜
"For the sake of survival, huh…"
Kurosaki Ichigo murmured with a touch of sadness. It was such a simple phrase, yet it carried an unimaginable weight.
Only now did he understand that whether it was the faith singing of the Round Table's loyalty in the Sixth Singularity, or the brilliant epic written by the King of Uruk in the Seventh Singularity…
Even down to the final battle to save the Human Order, there was only one theme: to survive. It was that simple.
Inoue Orihime sighed with some sorrow:
"In the end, Fujimaru saved the Human Order, but he could no longer find Mash… or the Doctor to share the joy with!"
Fujimaru clearly saved the future, yet in humanity's future, the figures of Mash and the Doctor could not be found… The story of the future had completely bid them farewell.
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜
"Won… we won!"
Looking at this hard-won victory, a scene that should have been inspiring, Da Vinci just couldn't bring herself to feel happy inside.
The thought that one day in the future she would never see the Doctor or Mash again made Da Vinci's heart ache as well. The price of this victory… was simply too heavy.
Fujimaru didn't know what kind of mood he was in at this moment either, his voice somewhat hoarse:
"Mash, Doctor, we… won!"
Looking at Fujimaru acting this way, Mash smiled and answered as she always did:
"Yes, we won, Senpai!"
"Do you remember what I said, Fujimaru…"
Roman also smiled gently:
"The last sight we see is your victory!"
"Yes!"
Looking at Roman, who was smiling gently as always, Fujimaru subconsciously tightened his fists, holding back tears as he answered loudly.
But… Doctor!
In your previous life, you didn't have a single minute to yourself. After becoming human, you chose the same path, dedicating all your time to humanity, and finally, returning to nothingness…
This is definitely not what you wanted, and it is definitely not what I want. So… this final ending, we will definitely change it!
.....
[ In this showdown, Fujimaru ultimately claimed victory, and the Temple of Time began to gradually collapse due to Goetia's defeat.
"Time to go back…" Fujimaru stood in place silently for a moment, then turned to leave.
All the Heroic Spirits who came to support also began to emit golden light, gradually fading away. Naturally, this included the Lion King from the Sixth Singularity, and her Knights of the Round Table! ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
Wait… At this moment, everyone suddenly froze, then, as if realizing something, their expressions became somewhat frantic. So, Lion King, you were there?!
"Where is your Holy Lance? Knight Gawain, where is your sun? The ones who can fight the best actually had zero presence."
You're about to disappear, and only now do we notice your existence? You guys definitely went off to Slack, didn't you? Were the powerful ones all standing in the back, spectating…
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜
In the 6th Singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot—
"I didn't expect that I could also contribute a part to this."
Gawain smiled faintly after seeing himself appear on the screen.
Tristan's expression also softened a bit:
"It feels like a rebirth."
"…"
Lancelot looked at the screen speechlessly. The sorrows of men are not interlinked; he just found them noisy.
Gawain, Tristan, Agravain, and the King were all there. Even Mordred had appeared here. But they just had to leave me out… So, is it that I isolated them?
And Sir Gawain, are you sure you contributed? You didn't even activate your Noble Phantasm; the sun didn't even appear; what kind of effort did you contribute?
.....
[ At this time, Gilgamesh, who had been standing on the cliff with his arms crossed, watching the battle, also began to emit golden light and was gradually fading, but he didn't forget to offer a comment.
"Goetia, a Beast who knows not of love, who only devours lamentation, an Evil of Humanity aiming for nothingness!"
"How ironic. The Evil of Humanity is precisely the Love of Humanity… What opposed you was exactly that spirit hoping for a better future."
Meanwhile, the staff at Chaldea also discovered the changes in the Temple: "Confirmed disappearance of life response in the central temple and all strongholds. In other words!"
"Confirmed elimination of Beast I. The Temple of Time is collapsing!"
"Good!" Da Vinci immediately took over the heavy responsibility, directing the actions of the personnel present: "Quickly decouple from these coordinates, prepare for separation, and recover Fujimaru immediately after communications are restored!" ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"…"
Watching King Gilgamesh make sharp comments there, the image of the wise king in everyone's hearts instantly shattered.
So, is this your excuse for slacking off? Why be a Grand Caster candidate? Just be a Grand Commentator… Goetia has been eliminated, and yet there isn't a speck of dust on your clothes!
.....
〜Type-Moon World, Carnival Phantasm Worldline〜
Emiya Shirou looked with a complicated expression at the silent Gilgamesh beside him:
"So, was he there from start to finish just to say those few sentences?"
Illya didn't know what to say at this moment, pointing blankly at the screen:
"If he had even a scratch on his face, I'd count it as him trying, but this…!"
After a whole battle, his clothes weren't even slightly dirty. He hadn't even moved his position, just standing there!
You can't slack off like this, right? He didn't even pretend, just doing a post-war summary here. The problem is, did you fight?
On the other side, Gilgamesh, wearing casual clothes with his hands in his pockets, silently zipped his jacket up to the top.
This behavior… it felt like he lacked the confidence to face anyone…
.....
[ Fujimaru walked unsteadily on the return path, blood staining the road he had just walked. Finally, his vision went black, and he collapsed weakly onto the ground.
"Fujimaru… Fujimaru… can you hear me? I'm sending you the coordinates."
Hearing the communication coming from his ear, Fujimaru struggled to climb up, his expression somewhat dazed: "Have to go back… to Chaldea…"
Seeing that communications had returned to normal, Da Vinci didn't have time to be happy and instructed with a serious face: "Just now, we confirmed the collapse of the Throne! And the elimination of the King of Mages… no, Goetia."
"But there's no time to immerse ourselves in the joy of victory now. One reason is that the Temple is collapsing. Additionally, the state of the Band of Light is very unstable."
"It must be because Goetia stopped, causing the power constraining the magical energy to disappear. If this continues, it won't be able to maintain its ring shape and will revert to its original state."
"It will be like a supernova explosion! You must return to Chaldea before that happens!"
Some light returned to Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes, and clutching his injured arm, he walked in the direction of Chaldea… ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Supernova explosion… do you have to be so exaggerated!"
The joy on everyone's faces instantly solidified, and they froze in place. WHAT KIND OF CONCEPT IS A SUPERNOVA EXPLOSION?! That Band of Light could definitely reach a planet-busting level!
.....
〜Type-Moon World, Kaleid liner Prisma Illya Wordline〜
"In other words, that Band of Light, formed by compressing the incinerated history of humanity, is going to explode?!"
Illya's face instantly turned pale with fright.
That was a Band of Light that condensed enough heat to burn the surface of the earth. If that thing exploded, it would be no joke!
Miyu looked at Fujimaru, who looked somewhat delirious, filled with worry:
"But… with Fujimaru's current condition, can he really make it back?!"
As long as he didn't leave this Final Singularity, he couldn't avoid the map-wiping attack comparable to a supernova explosion.
But… summoning Servants consumes his nerves. Anyone looking at it now would know that Fujimaru's current situation is very bad!
Not to mention the injuries left from brawling with Goetia…
.....
[ As Fujimaru Ritsuka began to move, on the other side of the Temple of Time, Jeanne d'Arc felt a surge of excitement watching the collapsing Temple.
But when Jeanne turned her head excitedly, she found that it was already empty.
Jeanne suddenly fell silent for a moment: "…Everyone has disappeared."
Then she revealed a sincere smile and thanked the empty space: "Thank you for not relaxing for a moment, and fighting until the very last moment of exhaustion!"
"Although you can no longer hear these words, I still want to offer my most sincere thanks for this assistance. We, who have survived until now, will also soon return to the Throne of Heroes."
"That is natural…" Just as Jeanne was preparing to silently disappear, King Gilgamesh appeared again: "Independent Manifestation and the like are characteristics unique to a Beast."
"Ordinary Heroic Spirits, as soon as they appear in this spatial domain, will immediately begin to collapse. The Heroic Spirits continued to suppress the Demon God Pillars while resisting this force."
Speaking of this, Gilgamesh rarely offered praise: "Although they are just ordinary Heroic Spirits, I must give them credit for this battle."
Looking at Gilgamesh, whose golden light was dissipating, Jeanne smiled and asked: "You are also beginning to withdraw, King of Heroes. Do you not intend to witness the conclusion of the whole matter?"
"I do not…" Gilgamesh shook his head, looking into the distance: "From this moment on, these are endings that only the parties involved can know. There is no room for this King or you to intervene." ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Countless World 』
Seeing the smile on Jeanne's face, people in other worlds felt as if they were being healed. Truly worthy of being a Saint; what a pure and kind smile!
Facing the Heroic Spirits who had already departed, she didn't forget to offer sincere thanks. No wonder her words had such an inspiring power!
.....
〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
Watching Gilgamesh talk with such assurance, Tohsaka Rin curled her lips and muttered:
"It's really a pity this guy isn't a Grand Commentator."
Standing there the whole time, not moving an inch… However, his summary was quite eloquent. Even she couldn't help but feel that what Gilgamesh said made a lot of sense.
Emiya Shirou shook his head:
"To hear praise from Gilgamesh's mouth is already a miracle…"
With his arrogant attitude, not calling everyone a mongrel every other sentence was already giving face. After all, the one descending on the screen didn't look like the Wise King Gilgamesh.
Illya complained:
"No matter how well he speaks, it can't change the fact that he was slacking off!"
For some reason, she just found Gilgamesh somewhat unpleasant to look at. Could they have had a grudge in a past life?
