After Chaldea defeated Demeter, the Masters rushed toward Chronos Crown as the Fantasy Tree neared maturity, while Anastasia’s army attacked Chaldea headquarters and the Second Magus disappeared. Roy and Athena watched Zeus begin draining Gaia to mature the tree, and Artemis realized Zeus was carrying out his plan to launch a wandering Olympus into space.

• Chaldea defeated Demeter with the Black Barrel, and Da Vinci urged the exhausted Masters to press on toward Chronos Crown before the Fantasy Tree matured.
• The Masters’ communications with Chaldea were cut off, but they continued toward the aircraft beneath Olympus while suspecting Demeter’s attack had disrupted the signal.

• Roy appeared on the battlefield, praised Kirschtaria for discovering part of Marisbury’s secret, and listened as Kirschtaria connected the Lostbelt revelation to the Human Order Incineration.

Kirschtaria explained his deductions that Chaldeas was a Fantasy Tree sustaining a pruned world, and Roy began revealing the truth behind it. Roy traced the story to the Predatory Star and the White Giant, then identified the starship’s computational core as the origin of Chaldeas before beginning to explain the Holy Grail War.

Roy revealed that Marisbury used the Holy Grail War and Chaldeas to create a simulated Earth whose copied planetary soul became the Alien God. As the group realized Chaldeas was tied to the Human Annihilation and could not contact Chaldea, the story shifted to Chaldea under the control of the Grand Duchess, while Roman and Da Vinci raced across Antarctica.

• Roy explained that Marisbury summoned King Solomon in the Holy Grail War and used the resulting resources to activate Chaldeas.

• At Chaldea headquarters, the Grand Duchess told her godfather that she had sealed Chaldeas in ice so no one could shut it down.
• Roman and Da Vinci searched for pursuing enemies as their armored vehicle crossed Antarctica, but Da Vinci found none on the radar.

After the Beast Tamamo no Mae helped Anastasia detain Chaldea’s staff, the survivors fled toward the Greek Lostbelt, while the Masters there learned that Chaldeas was behind the catastrophe. Roy explained how Marisbury had used the Osiris Sand’s principles to turn simulations into reality, leaving Zeus aware that Chaos might discover him.

• Da Vinci identified the attackers as forces from Russia’s Lostbelt, while Shion reported the survivors’ injuries and the capture of more than a hundred Chaldea staff.

• Zeus recognized that Chaos might notice him after Athena destroyed his means of taking Olympus away from Earth, and he considered risking mutual destruction.
• Roy explained that Marisbury had learned about the Osiris Sand from Cibach and reproduced its ability through Chaldeas to turn simulated information into reality.

Kirschtaria revealed his plan to use the matured Fantasy Tree to overwrite the bleached Earth with a Human History in which everyone became a god, while Roy challenged his ideal and announced the birth of an ultimate being from Earth. The scene then shifted to Area 51, where a survivor of the bleached world found himself in an apparently restored world and was captured by soldiers.

• Kirschtaria declared that he would use the Fantasy Tree to create a new Human History and make all humanity gods, while remaining the last Old Human himself.
• Roy praised Kirschtaria’s noble intentions but argued that his Human History would stagnate and depend on virtual information, then condemned him and announced the birth of an ultimate being from Earth.

• The survivor encountered United States soldiers at the base and was knocked unconscious before they took him away for questioning.
