Thus concluded the heroic tale of wandering through the Age of Gods, blessed by divine favor.
Countless viewers remained immersed in the climactic battle, still reeling from the shock.
Such spectacle surpassed even the most extravagant films.
Most importantly—this was real, not special effects!
Nameless, gathering the conviction of countless battles, forged a mighty weapon with the blessings of the Twelve Olympians, and with one strike felled the Colossus that reached the heavens.
This magnificent, domineering moment was seared into every viewer's DNA, impossible to forget.
On the darkened screen, comments flooded in—
-[That god-blessed Nameless Spirit—that sword strike was explosively cool!]
-[Camelot, Uruk, Olympus... each Singularity more incredible than the last. What's next?]
-[Got me so pumped I can't lie in bed scrolling anymore! Gotta do something—maybe play a game first!]
-[The King of Heroes, King Arthur—all got their own episodes. Is our First Emperor next?]
-[Will the gods descend into reality? Artemis gives off serious yandere vibes!]
-[Truly the Crowned Beauty—another pantheon conquered. If they all manifest—Nameless is doomed!]
...
"Dammit, it's over already!"
Roya couldn't help complaining.
Though this [Alaya] episode provided two full hours of cinematic enjoyment—
It wasn't nearly enough!
Since discovering [Alaya]'s videos, all other films paled in comparison.
Her greatest daily joy became seeing that update notification.
Snap—happiness gone again!
Setting down her popcorn, Roya mused: "So if Kronos was akin to a Beast of Humanity... what happens when they encounter a real one?"
That guy is indeed terrifying, but not truly a Beast of Humanity.
The definition of a Beast of Humanity is one who possesses extreme love for mankind, which ultimately transforms into extreme malice.
Tiamat loved humanity too much, which drove her to madness and the desire to return.
However, Mother Tiamat's return would only spell disaster for humanity, which is why Nameless and the King of Heroes fought against her at all costs.
They are the opposite of light—darkness.
Their power grows insanely alongside humanity's strength, with no upper limit!
"Feels like we can't win, right?" Cú Chulainn answered uncertainly.
In this Singularity, Nameless gathered the blessings of all the gods and even summoned another version of himself from a different timeline, only to barely manage to slay Kronos with a single sword strike.
If they were to face a Beast of Humanity on Tiamat's level, winning would be nothing short of a miracle!
After all, Tiamat wasn't just holding back—she practically drained the entire Pacific Ocean.
The moment she stepped ashore, she imposed a [Self-Sealing] that reduced her power by ninety percent, and aside from attacking the King of Heroes, she barely fought back at all.
The sheer terror of a Beast of Humanity left Cú Chulainn with absolutely no desire to fight!
"I think it's really difficult too. We'd probably need all the Heroic Spirits to join forces," Roya nodded in agreement, her small face full of worry. "So, where are all these Beasts of Humanity?"
Each one is far too terrifying.
Among the two Beasts of Humanity already revealed:
The Second Beast, Tiamat, who appeared in Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia, could have easily destroyed the world and wiped out humanity if she hadn't chosen to [Self-Seal].
The First Beast, Demon King Goetia, even sought to incinerate human history and become the planetary consciousness, Gaia.
If he had succeeded, everyone would have turned into torches, utterly consumed by him!
Clearly, these two aren't the only Beasts of Humanity.
There are even more powerful Beasts waiting for Nameless to confront!
At that moment.
Fou sat between Souma's legs, staring at the little girl in front of him and speaking—
"Fou... Fou (You're one yourself!)"
This strange Beast of Humanity—why does she keep insulting herself?
It's really confusing.
Did Souma hit her head too hard?
She's the real Beast of Humanity.
As for him?
What bad intentions could a little cat possibly have? How could he be a Beast of Humanity?
"No idea."
Souma stroked Fou while glancing at her.
Out of the Seven Beasts of Humanity, two were in his house.
And one had become a future ally.
If this got out, the entire world would be shocked, labeling his place a den of calamities.
Speaking of which, isn't Alaya working a bit too hard?
At this rate, it'll only take one or two more videos before the one about the brat comes out.
By then, once the brat watches the video and regains her lost memories, she'll fully transform into the apocalyptic Demon King!
Damn you, Alaya!
"So, will the Olympian gods descend?" Roya asked worriedly.
Back in Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia, Nameless had the Underworld Goddess Ereshkigal preserve the soul of High Priestess Siduri.
Countless people were moved by Siduri's kindness, even composing prayers for her.
They even held an awards ceremony to honor her as someone who touched the world.
But then, shortly after the video ended, everyone was stunned to discover that Siduri had actually come back to life!
Yes, truly revived!
Not as a summoned Heroic Spirit!
This means the Underworld Goddess Ereshkigal must also be able to descend into the world.
Without the other party's assistance, Siduri would have been utterly impossible to resurrect.
This emboldened countless people with bold ideas.
Don't misunderstand—they merely wanted to visit Uruk to see if they could continue existing as undead after death, or perhaps be fortunate enough to be resurrected by Ereshkigal.
Either outcome would be an absolute win!
Even Ereshkigal, the underworld goddess with little connection to the living world, could descend upon the mortal realm.
Meanwhile, the Olympian gods had the Pantheon of Gods in the human world.
Twelve council members, all claiming to be the rightful successors of the Twelve Olympians.
Wouldn't their descent be even easier?
The more Roya thought about it, the more worried she became: "Once the true Olympian gods descend, the United States's power will undoubtedly skyrocket, and we'll be completely suppressed!"
China and the United States had always been adversaries.
Their conflicts were endless, a true life-and-death struggle.
There could obviously only be one dominant power on Blue Star.
If the Greek gods truly descended, how could we possibly resist them?
"Helping the United States…"
Souma's lips twitched.
The Pantheon of Gods—each of them had stolen the abandoned vessels of the gods, yet they arrogantly proclaimed themselves the rightful successors.
If those deities truly descended, their first move would undoubtedly be to eliminate those shameless thieves in the United States!
This thought gave Souma a faint glimmer of anticipation.
Still, it'd be better if they didn't descend.
The world was already chaotic enough—did it really need another group of gods?
How much worse could it get?
The real issue was that the Greek princess had already turned into a yandere witch.
And that moon goddess? A true yandere in every sense, obsessed with binding him to her side!
After the video was exposed, wouldn't they all come looking for him?
Damn it, Alaya!
My peaceful retired life was completely shattered by you!
Beside him, Artoria's ahoge twitched slightly.
Just as Souma thought she might offer some words of comfort, he heard her say—
"Isn't it time to cook?"
"...Alright!"
Souma glanced at the pile of snack wrappers and fruit peels beside her and realized that before the gods came knocking, he'd be completely bankrupted by her appetite!
As he stepped into the kitchen to prepare the meal,
Artoria moved closer and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll stay by your side."
In the past, she had chosen Britain over him, a decision she regretted for countless years.
Now, no matter what enemy they faced, she would never leave his side again!
Even if it meant confronting the Evils of Humanity!
"What would you like for dinner?" Souma smiled faintly.
This was the gentlest promise.
Knowing her personality, she would absolutely keep her word.
King Arthur, in her complete form—wielding Excalibur, Rhongomyniad, and the scabbard Avalon—was the strongest contender for the title of Grand Saber.
She was more than qualified to stand as his ally, fighting alongside him.
Once all the videos were fully exposed, in the final battle, only Grand Servants or those of Grand caliber, beings like Tiamat and Fou, could truly be his comrades.
Her ahoge twitched again, her eyes sparkling. "Everything you make is delicious. Can I have it all?"
"..."
Souma' smile slowly faded.
As expected, the biggest problem was that he couldn't afford to feed her!
