ORT dying outright was absurd, but not impossible.
Aoko had done so much preparation, and not a single Servant had actually been sacrificed. With all that planning against an unsuspecting enemy, it was hardly surprising that ORT had no third phase.
To be safe, Yuan Shikai still decided to ask, "Aoko, what was happening when you last saw Daybit?"
Aoko said, "There seemed to have been a major battle here then, too. I didn't witness the whole thing, but judging by the traces left behind, it must have been incredibly brutal."
"When I sneaked in, this place was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Countless forces were launching suicidal attacks against ORT, one after another."
"I saw an enormous reptilian monster. It was the main force holding ORT back. ORT knocked it down again and again, but every time, it got back up."
"That monster had incredible regeneration. No matter how badly it was injured, it recovered quickly. I thought it would turn into a war of attrition."
"But suddenly, everything changed. The sun in the sky began to lose its color, and the temperature kept dropping. That was when Daybit appeared before me."
"Before he died, Daybit said it was already too late. The resistance here had failed, and our only chance was to wait for Chaldea."
"He told me to leave quickly before he died. After hearing what he had to say, I left immediately."
According to Aoko's description, Mictlan had put up fierce resistance back then.
And the monster she mentioned must have been the bat god, Camazotz.
After all, Camazotz was the only one in Mictlan capable of going toe-to-toe with ORT.
Because Mictlan's sun had gone out, killing the world completely, the battle had ended without a victor.
