Otherwise, you can find another savior.

"How are you feeling?" Shio asked.

"It's a little heavy, but it's still within my tolerance range," Koyanskaya replied truthfully after confirming.

After answering Shiomi, she looked up and surveyed the blank Earth environment: "However, no matter how many times I see it, it always seems like a really boring landscape. When can I board your ship and take a look?"

"It's hard to say. Right now, Chaldea is trying to cut off the Imaginary Tree of the Indian Lostbelt before the Alien God does. After all, according to the information revealed by Wuming, the Alien God intends to reclaim the Imaginary Tree of the Chinese Lostbelt first."

As Shiomi spoke, she turned to look at Taiko-no-Wang and Nikitich.

Although the Tunguska Sanctuary disappeared, they did not immediately retreat after the mission was over.

　There will probably be a time for a formal farewell.

"It's almost time to leave. When do you plan to say goodbye to me, Yaskaya?"

Nikitich walked up to Koyanskaya and asked her about her attitude.

“This…” Koyanskaya seemed stumped by the question, displaying the helpless reaction of a child in front of their parents.

It seems that Nikitich has some connection with her, but as for the details, Shiomi is not in a hurry to ask here.

He has his own things to do.

"Although I know my origins and my mission," Shiomi said, looking at Taigong Wang, "Nuwa didn't arrange anything else to guide me besides Mooncell—"

“Rather than being pushed along a pre-arranged path, it’s better to give a push at the right time. More often than not, it’s better to let yourself decide how to go.” Taigong Wang said, “If you don’t save humanity and human history from the bottom of your heart, it will only bring greater disaster.”

"For example... it might turn into something like Beast?" Shiomi asked.

“That possibility cannot be ruled out.” Taigong Wang nodded, then suddenly shook his head. “No, Lord Tianxi should have already seen that possibility in the distorted singularity.”

“That’s less a possibility and more out of control.” Shiomi looked at Morgan, who was talking to her master and Artoria. “What exactly is the connection between Morgan and me?”

Taigong Wang stroked his chin: "This is actually quite complicated and not easy to explain. Why don't we go to Mooncell and ask them? That super spirit computer that observes the planet should have the original records that were overwritten during a certain historical cycle."

“But BB said Mooncell has access rights,” Shio said.

"Your Excellency Tianxi now possesses the qualifications to access the Mooncell central hub. All that remains is for Mooncell to open its doors and welcome you in," Taigong Wang nodded, giving Xijian these instructions.

“Then Mooncell will guide my actions and create a suitable superior AI—” Shiomi asked again.

“Of course it’s because of the Goddess Nuwa,” said Taigong Wang. “But there’s one thing I need to remind you: while there are many other mythological deities who support the Goddess Nuwa, there are also quite a few who neither support nor oppose her.”

"Instead, this makes more sense. If Nuwa could get the unanimous support of other gods after making a decision, it would seem strange to me." tide Jian understood perfectly.

“What I really mean is that in the final Lostbelt, a messenger of the gods might appear to test you,” Taikomochi said. “Just show your will and strength and prove yourself.”

“A messenger of God…” tide Jian seemed to be thinking, then nodded vigorously.

"Furthermore, regarding the previously mentioned technique of shrinking distances—"

Just as Taigong Wang was about to end the conversation and hand over the promised principles of magic to Xijian, the earth suddenly trembled.

"what happened?"

The others were all startled, and Scáthach asked in surprise.

Shiomi turned her head and looked south, her star-like eyes lighting up as she gazed beyond the horizon.

"...The Storm Wall of the Chinese Lostbelt is disappearing?"

"It seems the alien god is moving a bit too fast." Taigong Wang opened his eyes, his expression solemn. "Everyone—! Time is of the essence. Before I retreat, I will use the Shrinking Earth Technique to send you all to the Chinese Lostbelt."

Upon hearing Jiang Ziya's call, the crowd quickly gathered together.

"Based on the previously observed coordinates and the information provided by Hinako Akuta, the Chinese Lostbelt should be a Lostbelt centered on Xianyang, named Eternal Empire Qin."

"After Zhou, the Qin state will unify the world?" Jiang Ziya pondered, then quickly used his shrinking-earth technique.

The group seemed to take flight, rushing southwards.

It would take several hours to travel from Tunguska to Xianyang by plane, but thanks to Taigong Wang's shrinking earth technique, it only took a few minutes to reach the vicinity of the Chinese Lostbelt.

The Storm Wall is rapidly dissipating, and the interior is no longer visible.

On the blank surface of the planet, there are several familiar figures.

It was the alien goddess U-Olga Marie, and the alien apostles who followed her.

Having just completed the retrieval of the Imaginary Tree from the Chinese Lostbelt, they are now planning to move southwest towards the Indian Lostbelt.

"My wife!"

Knowing that the alien god could not be allowed to enter the Lostbelt of India at this time, Shiomi called out to Morgan.

"I'm here!"

Echoing Shio's voice, Morgan gripped Shio's hand tightly, and the moment Taigongwang dispelled the Shrinking Earth Technique, the Unity God charged towards the Alien God.

An unstoppable blow.

The alien apostles noticed their attack but dared not rashly resist.

Only the alien god could withstand the attack of the unified god.

"Ha! You're still alive!" The alien god grinned arrogantly. "The explosion at the Olympus Crystal Mountains didn't kill you, did it?"

"You ran away with your tail between your legs and still dare to spout nonsense here?" Morgan asked sarcastically. "Don't think you'll have another chance to escape this time."

"Looks like you've made a mistake. You're the challengers!" The alien god laughed, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "I just recovered the power of a Dream Tree, so I'll use you to test its strength!"

Gravity causes it to contract, expand, and then explode in an instant.

The alien god and the unified god flew off to opposite sides and landed on the earth.

The alien apostles and Shio's companions followed from both sides.

"Is she really betraying us, Ms. Koyanskaya?" Kirei Kotomine said sarcastically.

Koyanskaya dismissed the question: "It's just a change of partners, no need to be so surprised, Father?"

On the blank canvas of the land, two groups of people faced off.

The great battle against the alien god erupted in an instant.

The ending takes a sharp turn

Indian Lostbelt.

Group A, which was part of the Storm Border forces, finally defeated the King of the Lostbelts of India after several days of fighting, with the help of Karna who had obtained the power of the three gods.

Arjuna Alter, the final, dark god, was born after witnessing the tragedy of the Kurukshetra war and choosing to devour all the gods.

At this very moment, Storm Border is harvesting the Imaginary Tree.

Using the technology provided by Morgan, the immense magical power of the Imaginary Tree was condensed and condensed into a crystal in the shape of the Holy Grail.

As a super magic crystal, it is indeed a very effective method.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Sakura and Kallen served nutritional drinks to the members of Group A who had returned to the deck to rest and prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.

"Thank you." Ophelia, who was closest, was the first to accept it.

The others also accepted the drinks, and Peperoncino jokingly asked if there were any snacks or anything like that.

The reply was yes, but we would have to wait until we returned to base to have a meal. If something happened while we were eating, we would be caught off guard.

“Today is the fourth day. According to Arjuna’s original plan, this Lostbelt will be reborn every ten days.” Peperoncino’s smile faded, and his tone became serious. “Even if I don’t leave here, I cannot maintain the Indian Lostbelt. Its destruction is inevitable.”

"But thanks to the concerted efforts of all the freshmen in Group A, we were able to resolve this Lostbelt in the shortest possible time, which is truly a good thing," Sakura said with a smile, expressing her gratitude.

Kirshtalia shook her head: "As a loser, I should bear the responsibility I have to bear. Besides, I have always wanted to participate in this journey with everyone, not just in my dreams."

"Is there nothing else? You guys can just stay here and watch over things. Can I go back to the ship and rest first?" Hinako Akuta asked impatiently, like someone who had finished their work and was eager to slack off.

Considering that it was not necessary for everyone to stay on deck, Sakura immediately contacted the bridge to confirm the next steps.

After discussion, Kirstalia, Peperoncino, and Ophelia decided to stay behind, along with the three Valkyries who would fight alongside them.

The others went back to the ship to rest, leaving only Sakura, who had not been exhausted from the battle, to stay and take care of things.

"Speaking of which, what exactly did Father ask Mr. Kirshtalia about astrology?" Sakura asked.

Kirshtalia hesitated, "Even if she is the teacher's daughter, this matter is still somewhat related to the teacher's private affairs. The few of us who know about this have agreed not to say anything before the teacher returns."

“How rigid you are, Kirstalia,” Peperoncino joked. “Shiomi-sensei didn’t tell us that we can’t tell anyone else about this.”

“Hmm…” Kilshtalia pondered for a moment before saying, “The teacher only decided through astrology whether to search for Koyanskaya first, or to go to the Chinese Lostbelt and cut off the Imaginary Tree there before the alien god.”

Sakura found it hard to understand: "Dad isn't the kind of person who would be torn between two options. He specifically sought the help of astrology and ultimately decided to go after Beast first."

“There must be something more important waiting for him than the Beast,” Peperoncino said. “Your father, though he didn’t intend to remain a mystery, had far too many secrets about him.”

Sakura then remembered what had happened a long time ago at the Sixth Singularity.

It has no origin, no past.

That's the kind of person my dad is.

As a daughter, Sakura chose to unconditionally trust her family and believe in their genuine love.

But perhaps, Shiomi never let go of this question from beginning to end.

After all, those directly involved are more likely to feel conflicted than bystanders.

“Then we should be able to reunite soon,” Sakura said. “The regular communications from the Wandering Sea say that the surface of the planet has been observed to be white, and the strange realms in the Tunguska region have disappeared.”

"Wow, that's fast!" Peperoncino exclaimed. "They only set off a little earlier than us, didn't they?"

“This is all perfectly natural,” Kirshtalia said calmly. “Humans who have become gods are themselves a symbol of miracles.”

Hearing them praise her father so highly, Sakura couldn't help but feel happy from the bottom of her heart.

Although, sometimes I feel that the distance between me and my father has widened, and I can never keep up with his pace.

“I’m so envious,” Ophelia said. “What’s it like to be with your parents without feeling miserable?”

“Ophelia…” Sakura paused, but couldn’t answer.

Magicians live in more demanding environments than ordinary people.

Both Kirshtalia and Ophelia have very delicate relationships with their respective families.

Fortunately, they didn't continue the topic. Instead, they waited for the Imaginary Tree to be removed while reviewing the previous battle.

“Mash’s shield is really powerful; the manifested Chalk City can even withstand Arjuna’s Noble Phantasm,” Ophelia said. “If Ritsuka and I support Mash later, we might be able to extend the defense to the entire Storm Border.”

"My God, do you want to turn this ship into a mobile fortress?" Peperoncino exclaimed dramatically. "The warship itself is already protected by the goddess Skadi's barrier."

“Let’s consider it a viable strategy, taking into account Debit’s position and his followers. Ensuring an advantage that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is also important,” Kirshtalia said.

Faced with the inevitable battle against his comrades who had not yet returned, Kirshtalia couldn't help but consider a more appropriate way to fight.

He cares about every one of his companions, whether as a Master of Chaldea or as a Hidden One.

"The removal of the Imaginary Tree is almost complete. Let's prepare to return to the ship," Sakura reminded them.

Olga Marie issued the order to return to ship from the bridge.

The group that remained on deck to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances finally returned to Storm Border.

As the Imaginary Tree disappeared, the massive warship embarked on an imaginary underwater voyage, its destination being the blank surface, near the coordinates of the Chinese Lostbelt.

They need to confirm whether they can enter the Chinese Lostbelt, or whether they should wait outside for the Lostbelt to disappear.

After all, considering the fighting strength of Shiomi and her group, the Lostbelt may have become extremely unstable.

The imaginary dive takes several minutes, during which Olga Marie keeps thinking about it.

However, when the Storm Border resurfaced and returned to real space, it captured a sight that astonished them.

On the boundless white land, Shiomi and her companions are battling against the alien god.

Volume Twelve: Travels Through the Golden Tree Sea

Prologue (1)

The battle with the "Alien God" is exceptionally difficult.

This is Morgan's most direct feeling.

With Scáthach and Artoria holding back the alien apostles, and with the assistance of Nikiji and Taiko, defeating the alien god and eliminating their greatest threat ahead of time should be a very promising outcome.

However, by simply reclaiming the magic of one more Imaginary Tree, U-Olgamari's strength was far greater than it had been in Olympus.

Moreover, the power of the "Alien God" is more stable than before.
