Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Can machines possess a heart?

The answer is, of course!

Whether it's the goddesses who finally gained hearts in the Lostbelts, the goddesses who, after awakening, felt love, pain, sorrow, and emotion, and were defeated, or the machine races in the No Game No Life world next door who faced death head-on, machines can also possess hearts.

Night: "Then, follow me, Artemis—I will use you as my reference point to descend upon that world. As you wish—!"

Wow!

The next moment, a magnificent and enormous passage suddenly appeared outside the Golden Demon City in the universe. It was the result of a triple lock-on, which was made by the coordinates of Artemis summoned from the darkness and the information marks left on Fujimaru Ritsuka and the fairy Morgan. It was determined that they had entered the Lostbelt time period.

Artemis was overjoyed, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips as the humanoid form formed from her original spirit origin.

This kind of heartfelt, unrestrained joy—which she had never learned before, but had only seen in herself within the pan-human history of her memories—was now being expressed with utmost naturalness for the first time.

"Yes, my king, my hero!"

The next moment, Artemis transformed into a giant machine and entered the passage.

She must go back first to guide her great hero, so that he will not lose his way as he travels between worlds and between times.

This step is crucial—we must be extremely vigilant.

If you accidentally end up in a parallel universe and get snatched away by another "Artemis," that wouldn't be so funny.

Of course—Artemis was unaware that there were three other beacons like her, and Night would never go to the wrong place—well, even if she didn't know.

She only knew that in her own homeland, there was Aphrodite, the great enemy who had descended with her last time, whom she needed to be wary of. However, she was unaware that there were still several lurking rivals in her world.

Chapter 3 Gudako: Wait, have you forgotten about my father, Griffith?!

The Atlantic Outer Belt—also known as the Greek Outer Belt.

This may be the most desperate situation that Fujimaru Ritsuka has fallen into since the final singularity.

In the Temple of the Grand Time, with the help of the Absolute God, they easily defeated the false King Solomon and incidentally saved the Doctor, a valuable asset in the battle.

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought that everything would end at that time.

Unexpectedly, only a year after returning to their original world, a new crisis in human history has emerged.

Alien gods descend, and seven Lostbelts appear on Earth after it has been rewritten. The familiar formula, just with a different module, continues to appear, waiting for humanity's last Master to conquer them.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was tempted to curse at the time, but fortunately, she had some confidence this time.

After all, she still has a covenant with that God, and that's her biggest trump card!

No matter what kind of alien god you are, if you encounter a boss you can't beat, just call for help from the majority. If the alien god dares to show up, beat them all up!

This is the mysterious confidence Fujimaru Ritsuka has in the Grand Time Temple after experiencing its magnificent army and terrifying power!

We are invincible!

Of course, I don't know if my uncle is busy. If he doesn't have time to respond, then I'll just have to die.

We cannot place all our hopes on others.

Looking at Chaldea's available fighting force afterward...

Although the fact that the doctor is Solomon has been exposed, it seems that this guy's past power can no longer be easily used, unless that absolute god appears at this time and gives this guy another buff.

However, because the doctor was still alive, perhaps due to the butterfly effect, when Koyanskaya led her people to attack Chaldea...

Chaldea reacted quickly, preventing Leonardo da Vinci from being stabbed in the heart and dying while covering their retreat. However, the younger Leonardo, inheriting the memories of his predecessor, was also awakened and used as combat power to continue conquering the Lostbelts. After experiencing the Russian Lostbelt, the Norse Lostbelt, the Qin Dynasty Lostbelt, and the Indian Lostbelt, Chaldea has now begun its conquest of the Greek Lostbelt.

But this Lostbelt is completely different from the previous ones.

From the moment they arrived, they were surrounded and attacked, and even the companions they picked up one after another revealed a lot of bad news.

Perhaps they arrived too late.

In this Lostbelt, the heroic spirits who descended to their homeland to help them defeat the expeditionary force had already perished, suffering a complete and utter defeat.

Even Hercules couldn't be preserved.

This even caused Jason, a Hercules fanatic, to fall into a state of complete despondency, believing that there was no chance of winning.

Even Hercules failed; he didn't believe the Chaldean visitors could succeed.

After all, that's Hercules!!!

Even a scoundrel like Jason would respect and acknowledge him from the bottom of his heart as Greece's most powerful hero!

With Hercules around, Jason was the best captain and the greatest hero; without Hercules, Jason was reduced to his original form.

After going through various experiences, she was still semi-forced onto Chaldea's pirate ship.

Even with Jason's help, the group was still unable to escape the enemy's pursuit. Artemis, the celestial weapon in the sky, would occasionally unleash a strike that pierced through stars and evaporated the oceans.

Adding to the chaos, enemy fleets were relentlessly pursuing them at sea, leaving them truly with nowhere to turn!

However, for some reason, Artemis, who used to monitor them constantly and kill them the moment they showed their faces, seems to have disappeared for several days recently.

But that good luck ended today.

The group was attacked by the god-level servant, Katniss.

A single Katniss could render the entire ship of heroic spirits unable to take care of themselves.

But that's normal, isn't it...?

After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka and his companions, who were nearly blasted to smithereens upon arrival, were already weak. The local Heroic Spirits they managed to gather along the way were mostly survivors left behind after the previous expedition's failure. Some were less than a tenth of their original strength, while others, like Jason, were intelligent but unable to contribute any real fighting power.

All the players who could fight and carry have died on the front lines.

But in ancient Greece, where individual bravery could sway the course of a war, and even slaying dragons and gods was no longer a problem, it's simply incredible that C, lacking in physical strength, could have managed to hold out this long solely through intelligence. This is an absolute and overwhelming disparity in resources!

At this point, Jason had lost count of how many times he'd gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, if Hercules were still alive!! How could I possibly have lost to a mere..."

"As expected—third-rate heroes like us are simply not enough. If it weren't for a true hero like Heracles—and looking at all the heroes of Greece, only Heracles could possibly have wounded this tin turtle!"

Nothing can be done...

He racked his brains, scheming to gain the upper hand, but facing Kayneth, whose attacks seemed to have no effect whatsoever, who made no attempt to dodge, the sense of powerlessness was suffocating. Fujimaru Ritsuka, however, disagreed: "Wait, there's someone else who could do it too! Among the Greek heroes, Heracles isn't the only one known as the hero among heroes, the greatest hero standing at the pinnacle of all heroes!"

Even now, facing this ultimate life-or-death crisis, surrounded by multiple god-level Servants, multiple main god-level beings, and a large number of heroes and elite naval forces—even if they only sent one not-so-strong Katniss, she could almost wipe them out.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka still had to proclaim that fact.

Jason: "Huh?! Impossible! Save your dreams for when you're dreaming! Have you been driven mad by that gossipy turtle shell of Caenis and started spouting nonsense? As the captain of the Argo, a ship laden with heroes, I prove that in all of Greek history, there could not have been a hero more powerful than Heracles!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Foolishness—!! The man who stands at the pinnacle of heroism, the one to whom even the gods are captivated, the one to whom goddesses succumb, is unparalleled in Greece—the hero among heroes, Griffith!"

Jason: "!!! Wait, this name... Hmph, although he's a descendant active in the era after my death, I don't acknowledge that this guy has the strength to catch up with Hercules! You haven't witnessed Hercules' true power at all..."

"Seriously... after he died, every hero dares to challenge Hercules! That's Hercules, who completed the twelve trials and became a god!!"

The strongest hero who makes you feel absolutely safe and reliable as long as you stand by his side!

He acknowledged that the legend of Griffith remaining in Valhalla was indeed exaggerated. Although he hadn't witnessed it firsthand, he could judge that Griffith was definitely a top-tier hero, but he would not admit that Griffith was stronger than Hercules.

Chapter Four exploded: How dare they insult Griffith & Hercules!!

At this point, Jason in this world was unaware of Griffith's other identities; if he had known, he wouldn't have dared to say such a thing.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had long been a fan of Yoru, was naturally even less likely to admit this.

She has summoned Hercules before, and even encountered Berserker quite a few times in various singularities, but Griffith is the strongest!

My Lord is the only one in this world, residing in the heavens as the Silver God, shining like the morning star, the star of sorrow and longing for heaven!

He descended to earth as a savior, a demon king bearing the absolute evil of this world, and also the savior of human history. He is the end of the hero's path, the pinnacle of heroes throughout history, humanity's final trial, and an irreconcilable enemy of all things! Therefore, Griffith is the strongest!

Even the Greek heroes who witnessed the Argonauts' era, even King Agamemnon who united all the heroes of Greece to attack Troy, and that little rascal Odysseus who was chasing them relentlessly, would not utter a word in refutation of this point.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Katniss, watching the tiny insects who should have been tense and breathless with despair facing her suddenly ignoring her and instead arguing heatedly about who was the strongest hero of Greece, blushed furiously!

Upon arriving this time, her already short-tempered nature exploded: "Fine, very well!! You bunch of idiots, especially you Jason—you stray dog, yet you bark so loudly! No matter how much you wail and wail, there's no Hercules or Griffith here, Jason... and the last Master of mankind!"

Jason and Fujimaru Ritsuka both paled simultaneously: "..........................."

They were clearly two weaklings, but suddenly the atmosphere around them seemed to change. Even Katniss, who had just spoken up in annoyance at the group's mockery, inexplicably felt something was wrong, and a chill ran down her spine.

She was stunned—she seemed to sense a terrifying sense of oppression emanating from these two weaklings. A low pressure spread across the ship, as if it were about to transform into a shadow and envelop the surroundings, making everyone around dare not approach.

What?!

Katniss's expression became somewhat unnatural, and she subconsciously revealed a fierce look—"Putting on airs!!!!"

In this mood, Katniss instinctively wanted to say something to boost her aura: "Seriously, I really don't understand. No matter how much you brag here, how can you be sure that those two guys would still be willing to protect trash like you in this desperate situation?"

This Lostbelt is different from the previous Lostbelts, but it has been completely controlled by the gods!

The Lostbelt Kings simply cannot compare to the most luxurious lineup.

In this world of gods, which is truly real and has never disappeared, the only remaining foothold is this lone sailboat beneath your feet, yet the enemy you face is the entire world!

The entire world of Greek mythology!!!

No hero could do that! Even the greatest heroes of the past could never single-handedly bear the weight of the world!

However, to Katniss's surprise, the two who had just been exuding a cold aura didn't immediately become angry at her words. Instead, they calmed down and even spoke in unison, "............Who knows." x2

Jason, remembering Hercules who died protecting him, couldn't help but say, "I want to know the answer."

The calm before the storm—this phrase evokes a sense of bewilderment and perfectly describes the current scene.

Despite knowing she seemed to have thoroughly angered the two, Katniss wasn't about to give up on humiliating them. She quipped, "Don't you really understand?"

Isn't the answer obvious?

Because you are weak! But you are clearly a burden, so weak that even those two heroes are unwilling to descend again to protect you. Although descending again is obviously not something that can be done simply by wishing or not.

After all, even the remaining restraining force in this universe is practically useless.

While other Lostbelts only send a small number of Servants, the Greek Lostbelt sends out an entire army of Servants. They're all level 0 Servants; the sheer number of them is enough to launch another attack on the Grand Temple of Time, or even hold several Holy Grail Wars with 14 members.
