As the supreme god, I choose to watch movies in the multiverse.

"My lord, my apologies."

Lancer slowly lifted Alicia's wrist, feeling the pulse within.

"It's so cold...so quiet..."

There was not a sound, not a trace of blood. At this moment, Lancer was certain: his lord... Alicia... was dead.

Alicia is dead! Alicia is dead? Alicia is dead!

Just a few hours ago, he was perfectly healthy and seemed perfectly normal. How could he suddenly die?

Who did it? Who did it?

Countless thoughts were swirling in Lancer's mind, but without a doubt, he... was about to go completely insane.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

After confirming Alicia's condition, Lancer let out an angry and painful howl!

If there truly is a god in this world, then this god is far too cruel to him. He was betrayed by the lord he served in the Knights of Favonius, and died again because of his lord in the Holy Grail War. Now... Dimurd, who finally found redemption and finally had his wish fulfilled, has once again fallen into hell.

His salvation, his god, everything he revered, now lay before him, and he didn't even have time to react.

"Lancer—what happened?"

Laner's agonizing wails undoubtedly attracted the attention of Saber and Kiritsugu Emiya in the meeting room, who initially thought it was an enemy invasion.

At that moment, Saber, who had arrived first, saw Dimurdor kneeling next to Alicia, and the surrounding environment did not appear to have been damaged at all, so it did not look like an invasion by foreign enemies.

"Saber, what's wrong?" Kiritsugu Emiya picked up his submachine gun and headed over. The castle's magical defense mechanisms didn't activate at all, so he thought it was someone like Solomon or the King of Heroes.

"You did it, didn't you—this is your territory, it must have been you—"

After the extreme anger and grief, Lancer vented all his rage on the person he thought was most likely to kill Alicia at this moment. That's right, this is Kiritsugu Emiya's territory, and only he has the ability to kill Alicia silently.

Based on the other party's shameless methods before, Lancer was almost certain that it was Kiritsugu Emiya who did it.

"Me?" Kiritsugu Emiya, who was being held at gunpoint by Laner, looked confused. Then he looked at Alicia lying behind Laner and roughly understood what he meant.

Did Alicia meet with misfortune? The most likely culprit is Solomon. He infiltrated Einzbern Castle silently and carried out the assassination. Apart from Assassin, who is already beyond dead, only Solomon could have done it.

Compared to the irrational Lancer, Kiritsugu Emiya's deduction is actually more reasonable. Given Alicia's current strength, what ability does Kiritsugu Emiya have to kill her silently and effortlessly?

Let alone him, even if it were Saber or that Golden Archer, it would be absolutely impossible, so it can only be Solomon.

Unfortunately, Lancer was completely deaf to any explanations. He was convinced that it was Kiritsugu Emiya who did it. With twin pistols appearing in his hands and a painful, desperate roar, Lancer charged toward Kiritsugu Emiya.

"Bang—" Saber's holy sword blocked Lancer's path. Her guess was similar to that of Kiritsugu Emiya, but... did she really have to defeat Lancer first?

The magical power and wind pressure generated by the clash between the holy sword and the twin pistols gradually caused the surrounding walls to crack. Enraged, Lancer no longer cared about chivalry; he only wanted to kill Kiritsugu Emiya.

"Lancer! Are you going to fight here?!" Saber's roar awakened Lancer's remaining consciousness, and he turned to look at Alicia's body.

Fighting here would be disrespectful to Alicia's soul. To kill Kiritsugu Emiya, one must first get past Saber, but fighting here would inevitably affect Alicia's remains.

"Saber, let us continue our unfinished battle in the Forest of Demons—I, Dimurti, swear to send Kiritsugu Emiya to hell, so that his soul may forever suffer the torment of hellfire, as a tribute to my lord!"

With that, Lancer swung his red spear, smashing down the wall near the door to prevent Kiritsugu Emiya from entering the room. He then vanished with Saber, clearly heading to the forest near the castle for a battle.

.........

Beyond the light screen image—Alicia is dead. After Lancer confirms this result, something unexpected is bound to happen.

Collapsed world, sea of ​​quantum —

"boom--"

The enormous tremor was felt throughout the entire Sea of ​​Quanta, and the cause of all this was clearly Kevin, who was lurking somewhere within the Sea of ​​Quanta.

Kevin had been very calm, especially after the destruction of the previous civilization, he had hardly experienced any emotional fluctuations. However, after seeing Alicia's death in the light screen image, his 50,000 years of silence turned into a strong emotional outburst.

Hatred, sadness, perhaps everything, but years of experience have calmed him down again. Alicia wouldn't have died for no reason, and the way she died was far too unusual. There must be some twist later.

However... this did not change the fact that Kevin was furious at this moment. A powerful force surged from Kevin's body, and the quantum Honkai Beasts within a radius of thousands of miles centered on Kevin were affected, beginning to disintegrate and disappear into nothingness.

This is the strongest warrior of the previous civilization, the last hope of human civilization. Even though he was weakened for thousands of years in the Sea of ​​Quanta, his power is still terrifying.

Paradise of the Past

Eden remained silent, but Padofelis, standing beside her, felt it intensely. She wanted to leave immediately. For Eden, even if Alicia in the light screen image died, it wouldn't be enough. This was definitely the calm before the golden wrath.

Moreover, given the commotion just now, I doubt many of the Thirteen Heroes could remain calm. The entire Paradise of the Past World is probably going to explode. This is just a data space; it can't withstand any more disruption. I hope Klein won't be too troubled by this.

It's estimated that the only safe place in the entire Paradise of the Past is next to Ellie.

However, as Eden's aura grew stronger and more uncontrollable, Paddo probably had nowhere to run. In the final moments before the explosion, Paddo kept praying in her heart, "Sister Aili, I don't want to die, please save me."

"Oh dear Eden, my good Eden, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Perhaps Pado's prayers had worked, for with the sound of a voice, the golden fury vanished in the blink of an eye, so fast that Pado almost thought her previous perception was just an illusion.

“Alice, you must have seen what’s happening on the screen too.” Eden could only stay calm when Alice was by her side; for her, Alice was undoubtedly her everything.

"It's okay, really, why is everyone like this? It's not just you, everyone is like this too. It's just an image, I'm still here perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Alicia said in a light and cheerful voice, "Besides, Eden, don't forget, I'm the main character in there~~~ What main character dies before the finale?"

Alicia's comforting words gradually calmed Eden down. Indeed... the Alicia in the light screen image might have encountered some kind of problem, but it was definitely impossible for her to have died so simply.

Now we just have to wait for the reveal, but... no matter what, this way of presenting images on a light screen is just too infuriating. What kind of god with such a twisted sense of humor would insist on using this method?

The Land of the Dead is unlikely to be peaceful today. Although Alicia can comfort Eden, the other heroes are not so easy to console.

However, the heroes' anger will soon dissipate under Alicia's persuasion, but the impact on the Paradise of the Past is not small, and many places have been erased.

Fortunately, there are no visitors to Paradise right now, and Klein is probably the only injured person. She'll probably have to work overtime for decades to restore the damaged areas to their original state.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Eternal Paradise?

Light screen image bullet comments——

Eriri: "Alicia is dead? No way, so suddenly?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "That Marisbury, he said he wouldn't lay a hand on Alicia, but he still did it in the end? It seems he's just like Kiritsugu Emiya, a treacherous villain."

Conan: "Strange, it's still very strange. There's only one truth. There's nothing unusual about Alicia's room. Could Solomon's magic make Alicia die without her noticing anything?"

Ai Haibara: "Are you deep in thought again? Great Detective, I think it's your Shinigami system that's activated in this other world."

Ran: "The Grim Reaper system? What is that? Could it be that Conan is a superpowered person too?"

............

[The light screen image continues amidst the crowd's doubts and confusion.]

The camera then shifts to a peculiar space.

It was a beautiful paradise, like a dream, filled with beautiful sunshine, lovely flowers and plants, and buildings made of white marble everywhere.

It was like a paradise, beautiful and flawless, full of happiness and joy, but... a paradise?

That's right... it's Paradise? The first to extract the keywords were Kevin and Eden, who were close to Alicia.

Then many clever viewers outside the light screen also realized... That's right, remember at the end of the Three Kings Conference, Alicia said that her wish was to create an eternal paradise.

And now, such a paradise has appeared before everyone's eyes, so if nothing unexpected happens... Alicia's consciousness should be here.

In the world of Type-Moon, the only place that can be compared to Paradise is Gensokyo, where Merlin lives. However, the Paradise in front of us is clearly not related to the Flower Magician.

As the video progressed, familiar faces reappeared before everyone's eyes, which relieved Yingjie, who was worried about Alicia's safety, and the other viewers.

That's true, how could the main character possibly die before the finale?

Those who have had similar experiences have probably guessed that this is not a real place, or rather, in the known corners of the Type-Moon world and the Honkai world, there is no paradise in Alicia's mind.

"An unfamiliar ceiling... no, it's a familiar ceiling."

Looking at the dreamlike ceiling above her head, Alicia was mesmerized. Wasn't this exactly what her dream paradise should look like?

Her dream came true? That's obviously impossible; she wouldn't lose her mind after seeing what she dreamt about.

"This is clearly an illusion—why am I here?"

Alicia stood up. Although she was not a spiritually perceptive hero like Aponia, she was still capable of seeing through such an obvious illusion.

"Making jokes like that will make me angry~~"

Alicia spoke to the air, trying to attract the creator of this illusion, but it seemed to have no effect at all.

It was obviously not done by the Servants in the Holy Grail War. It's not that Alicia underestimated them, but Alicia could take on ten of those Servants who were suppressed by the Counter Force.

What... you mean Solomon? Well, although Alicia has never fought Solomon, his abilities wouldn't allow Alicia to enter the illusion without realizing it.

That's something even a hero with the strongest mental perception like Aponia couldn't do, and even the Herrscher of Knowledge would never be able to do it.

"Hmm... never mind, let's look around. This place is a bit different from what I imagined."

After realizing she had entered an illusion, Alicia didn't intend to force her way out. Rather, the scenery here was so beautiful that it was exactly the same as the paradise in her heart, so she chose to wander around first.

......

Such a dreamlike place—to build such a paradise would probably require the wealth of Eden.

Alicia pondered to herself, wondering if the Hero King could actually do it. After all, he seemed quite wealthy, but given his stinginess, she decided against it.

When she asked Gilgamesh for the elixir that would allow Lancer to survive, she also wanted to borrow a space-type Noble Phantasm from him.

After all, that guy said his Noble Phantasm contains everything and has everything, so it's normal for him to have time-space type equipment like Thousand Worlds Ichijō.

As it turned out... he still couldn't forget Gilgamesh's smug face back then, saying that he would only bestow upon Alicia a Noble Phantasm involving space if she became his person.

How could that be? Alicia's love belongs to every lovely person in the world. All the beautiful humans in the world are Alicia's wings—

She will love every human being equally, except for perverts like Ryunosuke Uryu and similar social scum.

However... as for Noble Phantasms involving space... Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon already is one.

If Alicia simply nodded, given Gilgamesh's temperament, it wouldn't be impossible for him to directly give Alicia the right to use the Gate of Babylon. Unfortunately, Alicia would never agree to that.

The Holy Grail War lasts only seven days. After those seven days, no matter how wonderful that world is, Alicia will not choose to stay. The Honkai has not been eliminated yet, so it is impossible for her to stay in the Type-Moon world.

The original idea of ​​borrowing Gilgamesh's spatial artifact is now impossible. To return to the original world, another method is needed. Perhaps the Holy Grail could be tried? After all, it was a wish-granting machine, but unfortunately, it has been corrupted.

As Alicia pondered these thoughts, she wandered aimlessly. It seemed as if she were the only person in this vast paradise. This was not good; the paradise in Alicia's heart was not such a lonely and desolate place.

That should be a place where people can live together with other heroes and humans...
