Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Even well-behaved girls have been corrupted; they couldn't help but utter such vulgar language.

but--

Wait, wait a minute? Huh?!!

"Who are we going to take down?!"

Only after belatedly realizing what the Night had designated as their next step did the group of heroic spirits freeze in place.

Wait, how did it suddenly jump to directly attacking a main god? Holy crap!

Who are they? What are they doing?

Even if you tell them they're going to fight Poseidon, they don't know why. Is it simply to weaken the enemy's strength?

At this time, Chaldea was still being chased by Artemis, living in constant fear and exhaustion, afraid that a space-based orbital cannon would fall from the sky and blast them to smithereens at any moment. At the same time, they found new companions on the new islands they kept arriving at, and with the help of various others, they discovered a way to defeat Artemis, the Grim Reaper. Finally, they found Achilles and used his full set of divine artifacts to forge golden arrows powerful enough to defeat Artemis.

However, they haven't even encountered the neutral Libra goddess Golden Drill, who will tell them how to forge the Golden Arrow and the location of Achilles. They were already in a miserable state of aimless escape. And now they've suddenly been told a boss is coming?

Chapter Seventeen: The Illusory Tree of Illusion, Its True Form Lies Deep Underground!

Their next step isn't to regroup, nor is it to practice against elite mobs like Odysseus; instead, they're skipping all elite enemies, ignoring even Artemis, the formidable opponent, and heading straight for the final boss of the Atlantic level?!

Night: "You heard me right, it's Poseidon!"

At this moment, the radiant smile on Ye's handsome face was, in the eyes of the assembled heroic spirits, a devilish grin.

They all swallowed hard.

Poseidon, the sea god who rules the ocean, is even more infamous than Artemis, who previously hunted them down with nowhere to go, whether in heaven or sea!

These third-rate Heroic Spirits are leaping so many levels and now they're going to fight Poseidon or something... Oyster!!!

In reality, they really wanted to recruit more teammates, preferably god-level ones, but saying something like that at this time would mean they didn't believe in Griffith's strength.

As partners, we should learn to trust each other, not to mention Griffith's impressive record just now.

Night did not pry into their inner world, but it could probably guess what they were thinking.

However, neither the goddess of justice Astraea nor the incomplete incarnation of the blacksmith god Hephaestus will directly join the battle.

There's absolutely no need to visit the islands where those two figures reside; we can skip them entirely.

Just then, Chaldea finally re-established communication with Gudako and the others, and the doctor and the others quickly confirmed the information on their side with Gudako and the others.

The moment the doctor saw Ye's face again, his first reaction was that he almost knelt down.

After all, that was the god King Solomon worshipped!

Even after learning that Night had descended in the name of the hero Griffith, a fully human-era spirit origin, the Doctor was still so nervous and hesitant to communicate properly in his presence. Perhaps if he reverted to Solomon's form, he could calmly face this god, but now it was Roman.

To this day, due to the seven singularities and the burning of humanity caused by Solomon's disappearance, God still had to step in to clean up his mess. He didn't receive any punishment before his departure last time, which makes him somewhat guilty!

Maybe I forgot last time, but if it's mainly because of his mistake that I'm punishing him, well... as long as I don't forbid him from ever eating strawberry cakes again or watching Magical Girl Merry's live stream, I wouldn't mind if he died on the spot and went to the eighteenth level of hell!

Besides these two!!!

With the doctor temporarily unreliable, the two Leonardo da Vinci brothers had no choice but to step forward. The elder da Vinci asked, "Is your next plan to defeat Poseidon, the god of the sea?"

Little Leonardo da Vinci: "Hmm... Lord Griffith, could you please explain briefly why you made this judgment? It's not that I'm questioning anything... it's just that I have a question that I just have to ask."

Night: "Of course—even without me, you would have discovered sooner or later that the Imaginary Tree of this Lostbelt is not on this sea."

Director Goldruff, the portly director, exclaimed, "What?! Wait, isn't the Imaginary Tree located deep in the Atlantic Ocean? Such a massive Imaginary Tree! Unless the detected images are all fake, it's impossible for the visualization to be wrong and the guess right!!" As one of the few who joined Chaldea after the Grand Temple of Time, even though he was parachuted into the new director's position, he still possessed information that everyone in Chaldea knew but hadn't specifically told him. For example—that seemingly useless doctor was actually Solomon, and that the Greek hero who appeared before him, named Griffith, was actually God in disguise.

Unlike the chubby director, the others, having witnessed the Grand Temple of Time and the miracles of another world alongside Gudako, would never question the authority of the person before them. If even an omniscient and omnipotent god could make a mistake, then there was no information on this planet that could be trusted.

Holmes: "Indeed—I see, I understand now. That enormous Imaginary Tree we witnessed on the sea was merely an uncuttable illusion, a mirage." Goldruff exclaimed in astonishment: "No, no—why conclude that the Imaginary Tree is an illusion? Holmes—even a wise man like you has chosen to completely believe this information?" The portly director wasn't trying to question anything at this moment, but this way of settling on the answer without any questioning was not like a detective's style at all.

After all, they are detectives. Rather than relying on intuition, they only offer answers and make correct deductions when they find sufficient evidence!

"Or have you discovered something as well?"

Old Fu gave a mysterious smile: "No, I didn't find anything."

After all, Leonardo da Vinci had already told her about that person's identity afterward. If he hadn't told Goldruff, besides the fact that the foundation of trust wasn't strong enough at the beginning, wouldn't telling her have completely eliminated any sense of urgency for him? The Lord is a trump card that should only be used as a last resort; this great deity isn't someone you can just summon whenever you want.

Of course—if they could solve the problem on their own without relying on the other party's power, that would be ideal, and there would be no need to expose that person's information.

Once Pan-Human History is saved, Chaldea will inevitably re-establish contact with the Clock Tower. If Gordolf were to transmit information about God there, who knows how much turmoil it would cause.

However, having come this far, they have developed considerable trust in Goldrov and seen many of his reliable aspects. Perhaps it would be best to let Goldrov discover the truth himself when the true master is revealed!

Goldruff: "!!"

He had a feeling that Holmes and his ilk were hiding something from him, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Damn it...! He felt like an outsider, completely excluded. At this moment, the slightly childish, chubby director suddenly felt a little frustrated! He had generously shared his favorite sweets with these guys! Couldn't they at least show some respect for his position as the director of Chaldea?! He hated the riddlers!

The same goes for Sherlock Holmes before. At least back then he would say something like, "You'll find out in time," and then explain his reasoning after the mystery was solved. Now it feels like he can't even offer that kind of excuse, right?!

Mashu: "Wait... what's going on!? Lord Griffith? The Imaginary Tree—"

Night: "The interstellar city-mountain range Olympus isn't actually in the sky—the trees you see are more like inverted mirages... In other words—"

Gudako: "?! Could it be located underground?"

All the heroic spirits: "?!"

Underground?! That's a rather audacious theory, a wild guess...

However, to the Heroic Spirits' even greater astonishment, Yoru nodded, confirming Gudako's conjecture: "That's right—deep underground, or rather—deep in the ocean!!"

Chapter Eighteen: The Repulsive Force of the World? Night: Does such a thing exist? I don't feel anything at all!

Goldrov exclaimed in shock, "You mean... the hollow Earth theory?! How is that possible...? But that hypothesis was refuted a long time ago!"

A knowing glint flashed in Holmes's eyes: "I investigated this before; there's a huge spirit tomb beneath the Clock Tower, isn't there?"

Goldruff: "The Tomb of Albion!? But wait, that's not right. The area beneath the Clock Tower and the center of the Atlantic Ocean are two completely different things!?"

Old Fu: "............This must be the power of the Imaginary Tree after it blooms. Through the Imaginary Tree, it connects a space that shouldn't exist with reality. In this Lostbelt, reality is on the other side of the cave. I see, no wonder the realm of Kilshtalia is called the largest."

Goldruff: "Then... then let's cut down this imaginary tree in front of us—"

Old Fu replied calmly, "It makes no sense. So there's only one answer. We're not going to rise, we're going to fall. We're going to plunge headlong into the 'Void Hole' beneath that ocean of the Imaginary Tree. Perhaps Poseidon, the last gatekeeper of Olympus, is there!"

At this point, Holmes finally understood what the superfluous void beneath the Atlantic Ocean was, and also understood why Griffith said they should go and deal with Poseidon first.

The ocean is Poseidon's domain! It is most fitting that the god of the sea be the guardian of Olympus in this world of the Atlantic Ocean.

Little Da Vinci: "Understood, then—Captain, immediately bring the Nautilus over to meet them..."

Captain Nemo: "But Odysseus's fleet... and Artemis's surveillance from the heavens."

Leonardo da Vinci: "Well, since Lord Griffith has said that we should directly attack Poseidon instead of prioritizing dealing with the moon goddess who poses a greater threat to us at the moment, the outcome is already quite obvious."

Little Leonardo da Vinci couldn't help but smile adorably: "Hmm, you know, since the start of the battle, the moon goddess hasn't sent a single ray of light down this side. On the contrary, something interesting has been detected on the other side of the Atlantic... Odysseus's fleet has disappeared over this ocean."

The group of people present immediately widened their eyes in excitement. Mashu exclaimed in surprise, "So that means—!!"

Holmes: "Indeed, it seems the moon goddess is on our side now, thanks to the great hero's charm. After all, in Greek mythology, the moon goddess was also his lover."

6 !!!

But that's just something that happens in the pan-human history. Not only in the pan-human history, but so quickly you've even gotten your hands on Artemis, the machine god from the Lostbelt?

Even goddesses...

Jason: "!!!"

Beautiful women are scary, but beautiful goddesses are even scarier. He actually managed to hook up with a god-like figure for two months straight, and a machine god at that! Amazing! Jason is completely outmatched!

Night never refuted the Chaldea group's deductions from beginning to end, until finally he concluded: "Then—let's meet again at the Void Hole! I'll go ahead and pick up some people."

As he spoke, Ye's figure disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and her group had no choice but to take immediate action.

Meanwhile, as Night disappeared, he also captured King Goetia and Miyamoto Musashi, who had just finished watching the great battle and were preparing to slip away.

The female Musashi from a parallel world has experienced several Lostbelts and traveled with Chaldea. She has helped Chaldea many times. Because she left her own world and was not accepted by any world, she was forced to wander to other places again each time. However, she always ended up in a Lostbelt. She also felt that she could never find a world that could accept her and that she belonged to her. Her ability to wander will eventually reach its limit, and this world seems to be the final limit.

Gods, Buddhas, or perhaps fate, arranged things this way because she came to these places with some kind of mission, just as she had helped her friends in Chaldea countless times.

The original Miyamoto Musashi had already calmly and gracefully faced this fact, and was prepared to help Chaldea one last time before disappearing—to cause a great disturbance. However, he did not intend to appear at this moment, but instead planned to meet with Chaldea in the interstellar city, and finally complete his final growth, cleaving the eye of the primordial Chaos God with his sword.

It has to be said that Type-Moon gave Miyamoto Musashi a really huge power-up.

It's more accurate to say that Mushroom's overpowered abilities for his daughter were too exaggerated. If Sakurai hadn't stopped him, Musashi would have actually cleaved Chaos, a Dyson sphere stellar-level powerhouse, in two with a single strike. That concept is just too outrageous.

It's rare that the old lady who only knows how to write Mary Sue plots did something good.

Of course—aside from the fact that he's overpowered, Musashi's character design is still quite likable.

Musashi: "Wait—my friend, I'm not an enemy!!"

Night: "I know, so—come with me, I'll take you directly to Fujimaru Ritsuka."

Musashi: "Hmm... but it's not the right time for me to meet them yet!"

Night: "Hmm??"

The doctor-like King Getia sighed and finally spoke first: "Go with him. There's no room for us to object here."

Musashi: "............ Uh."

Although Musashi didn't know Yoru, she had witnessed the earth-shattering battle before. Just thinking about the sword light that slashed across the entire world in an instant made her scalp tingle and her heart burn with admiration!

It was a feeling of excitement at seeing a prey, but also a sense of being utterly outmatched. If she were to request a spar, she feared she would only be humiliating herself. Right now, she didn't even have the right to be beaten; the gap was too vast. Perhaps it would be better to stay by his side for now, witness his astonishing swordsmanship first, and then challenge him once she had grown stronger.

Musashi: "Alright, I'll go with you!"

Night then looked at Getia, an old acquaintance she hadn't seen in a long time, and was quite pleased with his current appearance as a doctor.

She used to hate Solomon the most, and even despised him for becoming a useless doctor, but now she has chosen to walk in that man's human form.

The Human King felt a chill run down his spine and was incredibly embarrassed by the stare. As a defeated opponent, even knowing that the man's current spirit origin wasn't that of the god, he felt an urge to slip away.

Night: "As for you, if you don't want to keep up, then leave on your own and do what you want to do."

He is not lacking in combat power. The reason he found Miyamoto Musashi here is simply to prepare to bring her into his own army after the final battle. Since no one in the world wants her, he will!
