Chapter 87: Nega-Genesis! Eternally Secluded Utopia! Now is a Castle
of Distant Ideals!
〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
Grand Temple of Time: Solomon—
The hatred and sorrow of being unneeded by human history and thus abandoned, and the joy of replacing the Earth that came into being after her abandonment, to once again become the Mother of All Things.
Her true nature directly determined Tiamat's class. Before a Beast of Humanity, the Goddess of Creation was but a false title.
Goetia's eyes were filled with sorrow.
They were Beasts of Humanity, but rooted in their hearts was… love for humanity!
It was precisely because of love that they couldn't accept all this, and precisely because of love that they wanted to destroy all this.
Yet now they were being subjugated by so-called Grand Servants. How ridiculous!
Chaldea—
"So that's it,"
Romani finally realized something.
The one who truly attracted this entity was not Gilgamesh, nor the Mage King's Holy Grail. The one who truly attracted the God of Death was Ritsuka!
The conditions for his appearance in this world were already ripe: a world weapon capable of confronting a Beast of Regression!
A Grand Class Servant, and all of this was only possible because of Ritsuka and the others' seemingly meaningless battles before, which allowed this entity to be summoned!
Ritsuka… a normal child forced to bear the burden of saving the world. A flicker of pain and unbearable sorrow flashed in Romani's eyes.
In the 6th singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot—
All the Hassans stared in disbelief at that figure, their eyes wide with terror, and fell to their knees, not daring to even breathe!
They had never seen that legendary being, having only heard fragmented whispers!
The shock and fear in their bodies and minds left them no room for doubt!
Without a doubt, this was that legendary BEING!!!
It was as if the great decapitating sword would fall upon their necks in the next instant—
Inside the large pyramid—
Ramesses II's face turned green. He wanted to mumble a few words, but looking at the terrifying figure on the screen, he ultimately said nothing.
Once he spoke, his neck would feel a chill…
—
『 "AAAAAAA!!!" Tiamat let out a sharp wail, almost out of primordial instinct. She sensed an existence that terrified her, one that could even bring about her death!
Terrifying magical energy beams erupted from Tiamat's eyes, striking the Old Man of the Mountain in the distance, but this attack was easily blocked by King Hassan.
"I shall act upon Heaven's Mandate!" Bluefire blazed fiercely on the pitch-black greatsword, and blazed fiercely on the old man's body!
"I shall strip thee of thy wings!"
King Hassan leaped down, holding his greatsword, and met the torrent of magical energy, arriving before Tiamat!
This light of destruction, capable of annihilating Uruk, was now easily blocked by King Hassan, who wielded the giant sword. The greatsword cut through the torrent, and the fire soared into the sky!
The old man's voice, like a deep bell, echoed through the underworld, "The name of Grand is not what I seek."
"The proof of the strongest needs only to be entrusted to this one strike!"
"BANG—!"
"BOOM—!"
"CLANG—!"
Low, oppressive bell and drum sounds echoed through the underworld. The bell sounds drowned out all other noise.
Wails, sharp cries, roars—all sounds vanished before these bell sounds!
A sudden sense of death made everyone's scalp tingle, sending shivers down their spines!
What was that…?!!!
"Listen. The evening bell has tolled thy name."
"The feathers foreshadow your death, and behead━!"
At this moment, time seemed to stand still. The underworld turned black and white, and a deathly aura, thicker than death itself, filled the entire underworld!
Wings of the Angel of Death drifted to the ground, and the gray and white bell of twilight rang out in the world!
A dense aura of death surrounded him, solely to prove the form of the God of Death in his Grand Servant aspect!
"AZRAEL—!!"
(The Angel That Announces Death)
The old man's Grand Spirit Origin quietly dissipated, but that strongest strike broke through the world!
"Crack—" A shattering sound echoed through the underworld. Everyone looked on in horror, seeing Tiamat's body covered in countless cracks.
"AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
This strike, which abandoned the Grand title, bestowed the concept of death upon the Goddess of CREATION!!! 』

[ Shinji Matou: "So Assassins wield greatswords…! I was wrong here!" ]
[ Cu Chulain⦍Lancer⦎: "You call this a Grand Assassin? Where's the assassination? This is tougher than a Berserker, alright?!! Archers don't use bows, Casters carry giant axes, Assassins tank the Goddess of Creation? Who started this bad trend anyway!" ]
[ Uzumaki Naruto (Naruto): "The name of Grand is not what I seek, the proof of the strongest needs only to be entrusted to this one strike. My goosebumps are all up! He's so cool, old man!" ]
[ Touma Kamijou (A Certain Magical Index): "Same here! That strike made Kamijou-san feel like something was about to burst out of his right hand!" ]
[ Vaccine Man (One Punch Man): "This guy is… that old beggar from before! How can he be a Grand Servant? What kind of joke is this!" ]
[ Izayoi Sakamaki (Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai): "So, don't meddle in the protagonist's affairs. You don't understand these cheat players. Every step they take is filled with immense fortune, understand?" ]
[ Orion⦍Archer⦎: "Is this the level of a Grand Servant?! Wuwuwu, I'm sorry, I'm holding everyone back!" ]
[ Camazotz: "If only King Hassan had been there back then…" ]
[ Ainz Ooal Gown (Overlord): "Any long-lived or undead species will appear powerless before him, the old man who truly bestows the meaning of death." ]
[ Qin Shi Huang⦍Ruler⦎: "To abandon the Grand Spirit Origin and bestow this one strike to prove oneself the strongest, even We must look at him with new eyes." ]
[ Yang Jian (New Gods): "To bestow the concept of death upon an immortal existence… truly eye-opening. If only my world had such an old man." ]

〜Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend World〜
"So, this is what the peak Assassin, Old Man King Hassan, is like?"
The emotionless girl, Megumi Kato, looked curiously at King Hassan on the screen.
It seemed quite different from what she had imagined. Should Assassins be all about grand, sweeping movements and direct combat with enemies?

〜Investiture of the Gods, New Gods Worldline〜
In the Five Turbid Ages, hell is empty, vengeful spirits revive, and the human world is like hell. Ghosts have appeared in this world…
So where are the gods? People pray to gods to save the world, but there are no gods left, only ghosts!
Ghosts cannot be killed; this is a law of this world.
Only ghosts can deal with and suppress ghosts; thus, Ghost Riders were born.
But ghosts cannot be killed, and Ghost Riders will eventually become ghosts themselves. So how can this hellish world be saved?
Yang Jian lowered his head, silent. If only there were someone among them who could bestow the concept of death upon ghosts…

〜Type-Moon World, ???? Worldline〜
Countless Hassans prostrated themselves even lower. Even after losing his Grand Spirit Origin, that terrifying presence had not diminished in the slightest; it had even become more terrifying!
Land of Shadows—
The purple-haired old woman… the purple-haired beautiful girl, Scáthach, had deep eyes.
If that strike had landed on her, she would surely have died.
But that old man would not grant her death, nor would he come to her Land of Shadows.
In the 7th Lostbelt, Golden Sea of Trees, Nahui Mictlān—
"Is this the true way to use a Grand Spirit Origin?"
Tezcatlipoca's lips curled into a wide smile as he laughed aloud.
"Every Grand Servant has a corresponding mission. Both the one behind it and human history have already calculated this."
Just like the journey of the four masters and disciples in the Eastern Journey to the West myth, every step they took was watched by countless gods and buddhas. Chaldea was no different!

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone was similarly shocked by the deathly aura on the screen.
That strike, filled with a dense concept of death, was something even the Goddess of Creation, the Beast of Original Sin, the Mother of All Beings, Tiamat, could not evade!
Moreover, to abandon a Grand Spirit Origin…
In that world, the legendary existence at the pinnacle, this old man so easily abandoned it and entrusted it to this one strike.
Old Man of the Mountain, King Hassan? Everyone deeply imprinted the image of that old man with the black skull head in their minds!
.....
『 "Bestowed the Beast with the concept of death!" Inside Chaldea, Dr. Roman was shaken.
This way!
"Ritsuka, this is our chance. Now the Beast can be completely annihilated!"
"Alright, everyone, launch a coordinated attack!" Fujimaru Ritsuka shouted.
At this moment, Tiamat was at her weakest, and everyone's attacks rained down like a storm!
"Aaaaaaaaaa!" The dragon-transformed Tiamat let out a painful wail, and scorching, terrifying magical energy emanated from her tyrannical, star-like eyes.
She turned and began to crawl into the distance. Everyone was horrified. Tiamat was going to… crawl out of the underworld!
Everyone quickly pursued the figure, but a terrifying chaos tide blocked their path!
What made Fujimaru Ritsuka uneasy was that within the scarlet chaos tide, terrifying, hair-raising existences appeared one after another!
Eleven Lahmu burst out from the scarlet tide. They were still Lahmu, but their terrifying speed and strength were such that even Ishtar couldn't contend with them!
Ishtar and Merlin were responsible for stalling, while Fujimaru, Mash, Ereshkigal, and the others were responsible for intercepting Tiamat! 』

[ Aizen (Bleach): "Compared to the previous Lahmu, their aura and strength are completely different. These are beings of another level." ]
[ Morgan Le Fay⦍Ruler⦎: "These are Tiamat's eleven children, equivalent to top-tier Phantasmal Species. Ishtar is no match for them. No… Ishtar can't even defeat one of them." ]
[ Ishtar⦍Archer⦎: "Hey, hey, hey! That's going too far! I'm the Goddess of War, Venus! Don't underestimate me!" ]
[ Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎: "Oh? Then this King shall await with keen interest." ]

In the 6th Lostbelt, Fae Round Table Domain, Avalon le Fae Lostbelt—
"Mother…"
Melusine, born from Albion, could naturally call Tiamat "Mother."
Even if she was an existence from a Lostbelt.
As a fellow dragon incarnation, Melusine was certain that Tiamat was capable of much more than this.
Right now, Tiamat seemed to be on the defensive, even fleeing in a hurry, but Melusine knew very well that without absolute power, even if Tiamat stood still and let Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others attack, they wouldn't be able to break through her divine defense.
Furthermore, what puzzled Melusine even more was why Tiamat, as the Goddess of Creation, had so few authorities, and why Mother couldn't remain conscious, always in a state of confusion?
—
『 Using the authority of the underworld bestowed by Ereshkigal, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash quickly pursued Tiamat.
Behind them, the Lahmu chased relentlessly.
In a one-on-one fight, Ishtar didn't even have the slightest advantage!
Facing the Divine-level Lahmu, Merlin stopped pretending.
Under the bewildered gazes of Fujimaru and Mash, Merlin silently swapped his staff for a holy sword.
A flash of white figure, and a sharp sword technique directly pierced through the Lahmu's body!
Amidst the glinting cold light, several Divine-level Lahmu were even suppressed by him!
Meanwhile, Ishtar was being brutally beaten to the ground by two Lahmu!
These were Tiamat's personally nurtured children, each possessing power capable of rivaling a Demon God Pillar. In other words, each Lahmu had the strength of a main god! 』

[ Ronoroa Zoro (One Piece): "What exquisite swordsmanship?!" ]
[ Miyamoto Musashi: "Your swordsmanship has probably reached the realm of emptiness." ]
[ Cu Chulain⦍Lancer⦎: "No? Merlin, you're a Caster, but you're invincible in close combat?! You call this a Caster? Why didn't I see you putting in effort before?!" ]
[ Fou: "Fou!" (Scummy Merlin!)]
[ Artoria Pendragon⦍Saber⦎: "My swordsmanship was taught by Merlin." ]
[ Charles I⦍Saber⦎: "Truly worthy of Court Mage Mr. Merlin!" ]
[ Artoria Pendragon⦍Saber Alter⦎: "That Merlin fellow truly deserves to die! Always hiding until the very end, never intending to put in effort! He should be dragged out of Avalon and flogged repeatedly!" ]
[ Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎: "Hmph ha ha ha ha ha! Do you see, you ancient harlot! Merlin is even more useful than you!" ]
[ Ishtar⦍Archer⦎: "Wuwu… This goddess…This goddess was already completely exhausted!" ]

The hearts of the heroic spirits turned cold. The human heart was no longer what it used to be!
What was wrong with this world now? Why was there no trust between heroic spirits?
As heroic spirits, their first task was to keep their true names from being discovered, because once their true names were revealed, their weaknesses and combat styles would surface…
But now?
Everyone was bewildered. With people like Merlin and Gilgamesh, how were they supposed to play?!
You thought they were Casters, charged in for close combat, and ended up getting a brutal beating?
No, no, no, these two must be exceptions. They refused to believe there were other Casters who could be like these TWO!!!

『 "Step back, these are Tiamat's personally nurtured children," bluefire blazed fiercely from King Hassan's body.
He, alone with his sword, held off three Lahmu!
At this moment, Fujimaru and Mash were still advancing towards Tiamat, but the remaining Lahmu clung to them like maggots to bone.
For a time, they could only passively defend, even watching helplessly as Tiamat escaped!
"Heheheh—" The eleven Lahmu let out sharp, eerie laughter. They didn't choose to kill everyone immediately; instead, they reveled in everyone's despair.
And as humanity's last Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka could only watch this scene with difficulty, despair in his heart, filled with confusion. At this point, they had used all their trump cards. What else was there…?
An explosion sounded in the air, and countless golden Noble Phantasms rained down like a storm!
"Why are you all so wishy-washy with your actions!" On the mountaintop, a golden, resplendent figure bathed in golden ripples.
Gilgamesh stood with his arms crossed, upper body bare, golden hair spiking upwards!
"Aaaaaaaaaaa!" As the Noble Phantasms rained down like a storm, Tiamat's figure, which was nearing the exit of the underworld, fell back down under this terrifying firepower suppression!
"Let this King assist! Servant Archer King of Heroes, Gilgamesh!" 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone's eyes widened suddenly!
Didn't Gilgamesh die? No… that's not right! This is Servant Archer Gilgamesh?!
Did this guy switch to his main account? And by the looks of it, he even gelled his hair along the way?!
How did he summon himself?! Is there anything Gilgamesh can't do?!
Again, at such a critical moment, making a grand entrance!
At this moment, everyone in all worlds had to admire Gilgamesh's charisma!
And next, the final counterattack was about to begin!
.....
『 "Aaaaaaaaaa!" In this situation, Tiamat directly gave up returning to the surface and instead, with herself as the center, released World Genesis!
Nega-Genesis!
With Tiamat at the center, the entire world began to be swallowed by a gray-white color!
Merlin was horrified. Under the shroud of that space, all Servants would be annihilated!
Seeing the underworld about to be destroyed, Ereshkigal immediately unleashed her Noble Phantasm! Tiamat's barrier stopped spreading!
But this was only a temporary seal, which would disappear in a moment!
In this situation, only Mash's Noble Phantasm could counter it, while the others would use this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Tiamat!
And only Fujimaru Ritsuka could enter that space!
Merlin and Mash would pave the way for Fujimaru!
"From the stars of the inner sea and the tower of insight..."
"True name unleashed. I will stand on the seat of catastrophe."
"From the four corners of paradise, let them know. Their story is filled with blessings."
"Only those free of sin may pass..."
"That which heals all wounds and grudges, our glorious homeland."
"Manifest yourself..."
The noble and magnificent Wall of Camelot, the beautiful land of Avalon, the ideal realm—
Petals bloomed across the entire world, and this underworld had transformed into an ideal realm!
"LORD CAMELOT—!"
(Now is a Castle of Distant Ideals)
"GARDEN OF AVALON—!"
(Eternally Secluded Utopia) 』
