Chapter 91.18: The Incineration of Humanity Formula! Demon God King GOETIA!!!
『 Unbearable. Unacceptable!
How can I tolerate such logic?!
How can I permit such reasoning?!
—Bid farewell to it all! This sentient entity has fundamentally misunderstood the definition of God! 』

〜Warhammer 40k Universe〜
Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh—the four Chaos Gods—greedily sought to gorge themselves on this despair, this fury, this extreme emotional entropy.
But separated by the screen, they could only gaze upon the feast and sigh in frustration.
If they could absorb all the extreme emotions displayed there, they would reach unprecedented heights of power, perhaps even gaining the strength to breach the boundaries of this dimension!

〜Naruto World〜
Just whose heart harbors such agony?
On Nagato's gaunt face, his impassive expression shifted visibly.
Such sorrow, such pain… the despair within it was no less than what resided in his own heart—perhaps even greater!
"Is it Goetia…?"
He mused, recalling the entity that had appeared before, and its desire to annihilate humanity.
Nagato fell silent for a moment, then shook his head. He could not agree… Destroying all of humanity to create a new world was far too long a path.
Therefore, there was only one way to bring true happiness to all mankind.
Let everyone feel pain. Let everyone know despair. Only by personally experiencing that visceral agony and hopelessness would they cherish the seemingly small happiness before their eyes!
"Know pain…!"

Grand Temple of Time: Solomon—
"My King, the scene before us has already exceeded our calculations! Such barbaric acts were not in our plan; we must discuss countermeasures immediately!"
Demon God Barbatos exclaimed, agitated as he watched the screen.
He never imagined that Chaldea would actually breach the Throne!
Although this was a vision of the future, now that they had received such a warning, how could they not take precautions?!
They were preparing for a supreme work, a Grand Order spanning three thousand years!
"My King, we believe that should this situation arise, we must immediately utilize The Time of Birth Has Come, He Is the One Who Masters All—the Bands of Light—to incinerate all the Heroic Spirits instantly!"
The flames of rage burned in Goetia's eyes!
Yet, he shook his head, rejecting the proposal. Under his Anti-Summoning Formula, it mattered not how many Heroic Spirits arrived; they were merely numbers!
What truly infuriated Goetia was that, despite understanding his plan the moment they entered, these Heroic Spirits still chose to…!
"The Bands of Light are the settlement of the old Human Order, intended to reach a far superior Truth. Truly… are these so-called Heroic Spirits merely fools who live up to their reputation?!"
But what did it matter if he was misunderstood by all! Deep, abyssal darkness flickered in Goetia's eyes, mingled with… love.
No matter the cost, he would save this world!
Chaldea—
"Goetia… is this what you see?"
Romani stared at the screen, filled with pain and despair, his mind drifting into a trance. Before the first Singularity had even appeared, he had wondered who it could be.
Who had stolen Solomon's corpse? Who, in Solomon's name, sought the Incineration of the Human Order at any cost?
Goetia. It was you.
The one who had always been by Solomon's side was Goetia. The one who felt that pain most acutely was also Goetia.
Romani couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
Solomon, as a human, could not feel the depths of that pain and despair. But Goetia, born as a magecraft formula, had reached a point where he could endure it no longer.
An Evil of Humanity. A Beast of Pity. Perhaps this was the very reason Goetia was created. Cause and effect—the heartless King and the pitiful Beast…
—
『 A magnificent Band of Light, radiating terrifying heat, coiled above the firmament, covering the entire sky!
When Fujimaru and Mash opened their eyes, the breathtakingly beautiful scene before them left them stunned.
The pristine white Throne radiated a holy brilliance, and the white grass emitted a faint fluorescence.
The entire space was as peaceful and beautiful as a utopia. It was a stark contrast to the scenery before—no corpses, no slaughter, no war, no chaos.
There was only an eerie calm and silence.
"Fou! When did you get here? We definitely left you at Chaldea this time!" Mash caught a glimpse of a small beast in her peripheral vision, and the girl turned pale with shock!
"Fou! Fou-KYU—!" Fou jumped onto Fujimaru's shoulder and shook his head. 』

"If the Beast of Comparison is gone, then the ascension of the Beast of Cherishment is inevitable, isn't it~!"
Koyanskaya smirked wickedly.
As for why she, a candidate for Beast IV, could exist in this world? Wasn't it already obvious?
"But to think you would actually take this step,"
Koyanskaya's golden eyes gazed deeply at the cute little beast on the screen.
Tsukihime Worldline—
"Is that really Cath Palug?"
Altrouge Brunestud raised an eyebrow. At first, she wasn't sure, but looking at that adorable white creature now, it felt increasingly familiar.
The Monster of Gaia. The White Beast. The first of the Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors. A monster created as a weapon to eradicate the humans of the planet.
It possessed an absolute advantage over primates, a monster that no primate could resist.
It was an immature Ultimate One (UO). Logically speaking, if it were to mature, the harm Cath Palug could bring to humanity would be incomparable to any other Beast. Yet, unexpectedly, it had become a friend to humans here?
It was simply unheard of. A probability lower than one in a billion, yet it had happened.
"Is the one you care about that human?"
Altrouge's ruby-red eyes looked deeply at Mash on the screen.
In her eyes, that human was on the verge of collapse.
—
『 Just as Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka looked helplessly at Fou, a figure manifested upon the Throne.
"The Heroic Spirits are far more capable than anticipated," Solomon praised expressionlessly. "Even though we are eternal, to think you could make us taste defeat repeatedly… truly unexpected."
Fujimaru and Mash tensed up, facing the figure on the Throne as if facing a formidable enemy!
"It is the King of Mages, Solomon!"
"Precisely. Welcome, Master of Chaldea." A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Solomon's mouth, though his words were filled with malice.
"Why have you come to such a remote place? Why could you not wait obediently for just a few more minutes?"
"Why could you not wait until the calculation for the activation of our First Noble Phantasm, the Light Band Convergence Ring, was complete?!" Anger laced Solomon's tone.
Fujimaru and Mash had learned that Solomon possessed three Noble Phantasms. The First Noble Phantasm, the Light Band Convergence Ring. The Second Noble Phantasm, The Time of Crowning Has Come, He Is the One Who Begins All, which constructed this Grand Time Temple.
"Then the Third Noble Phantasm must be that band of light. According to Chaldea's readings, no energy on Earth surpasses that band," Mash said coldly, glaring furiously.
"That is what incinerated the entire Earth, ended humanity, and executed the Incineration of the Human Order!"
"Is that so? Is the Commander of Chaldea truly so blind?" Solomon raised his eyebrows high.
He sneered coldly. "Indeed, with my Light Band, I could destroy the surface of this planet. However, what benefit would I gain from doing such a thing?"
"You have the order reversed." The corners of Solomon's mouth split wide open, unable to suppress a monstrous, malicious laugh. "No heat on Earth surpasses the Light Band?"
"Hahahahahaha! Fools! You are absolutely correct! Because that is you! That band of light is the aggregation of all energy on Earth!"
"Destroying the Human Order Foundation, reducing the strength of human history to zero, and igniting the flames through our gaze."
"The flames covered the entire surface, burning all life and civilization, extracting them as residual Spiritrons."
After all, there is only one Earth. Even if burned, how much heat could be gained?
But the life dwelling on Earth, the humans known as the Primates, are different. No matter how many times they are slaughtered, they always flourish again.
That is why the King of Mages created the Singularities to sever the flow of history! By making each era reject the connection to the past and future, he could squeeze an almost infinite amount of energy from the present to the past!
And the method of extraction: First, destroy the Human Order Foundation to zero out the strength of history. Second, ignite the flames through the gaze of the Demon God Pillars.
When the flames consume all life and civilization, the residual Spiritrons left behind are the colossal heat known as the crystallization of human history!
The condensation of this heat into a band of light is his Third Noble Phantasm: The Time of Birth Has Come, He Is the One Who Masters All!
As for the purpose?!
Of course, it is to achieve a goal no one has ever achieved, to overcome the death that no one has ever OVERCOME!!! 』

"This world should not be ravaged by humans any longer."
Blue gazed at the sky, the earth, and the ocean, his thoughts drifting far away.

〜Boardtop World Disboard, Zero Timeline〜
The gods' hearts stirred. Burning humanity…
But soon, this idea was dashed. The monkeys of their world were different from the humans of other worlds.
Leaving aside the number of monkeys, there was no point in farming them, except perhaps as meat for the Beastmen.
Monkeys were the only existence in this world without a god. They were not favored by the world, and their bodies contained not a trace of Elementals. What use was there in farming such things?
Not to mention the joke of them defeating gods; it was laughable.
If the monkeys ever dared to challenge them, a single slap would send them flying.

〜Asura's Wrath World〜
"The ideal is full, the reality is skinny."
The Golden Spider, Chakravartin, was incredibly indifferent.
As the Creator God, he naturally understood the kind of world Goetia depicted.
But clearly, Goetia could not do it.
Or rather, merely burning the heat of human history was insufficient. He would need to acquire the heat of the Big Bang to construct the world he desired.
But what meaning is there in the existence of such a created world? What benefit is there in staining oneself with such karma?
The Golden Spider watched the rampaging Asura and seemed to fall into silence.
—
『 "As long as I kill the Master, everything ends. Your actions were all too ill-considered, Fujimaru Ritsuka, humanity's worst Master."
"Burn away like straw. The moment you die, humanity is finished!"
A beam of light shot straight toward the two. Mash raised her shield to block the strike, shouting her rebuttal!
"You're wrong! No matter how painful, no matter how hard it was! Master never stopped giving their absolute best! Master never stopped moving forward!"
"Fujimaru Ritsuka is the best Master! I can prove it!"
Solomon, sitting upon the Throne, showed no fluctuation in emotion. He mocked, "I am moved. Both for the Round Table used by this Arthur and his knights for their little reunions, and for your thick skin in using even that as a weapon."
Violent energy blasted the two back dozens of meters! 』
『 .....』
〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜
In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower—
"Please! Why does Boss Goetia have no sense of romance?!"
Merlin shouted a complaint.
What 'reunion Round Table'?! That was My King's dining table!
That table holds a meaning a thousand, ten thousand times deeper than a mere reunion!
She vaguely remembered the time Gawain served Artoria a bowl of mashed potatoes at that table. One time mashed potatoes, a lifetime of mashed potatoes.
Ugh, her poor Lia!
Chaldea—
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Barrage〜
/How rude. That is My King's exclusive dining table!
/Mash Kyrielight: If I don't use this, were you expecting me to pull out a Black Barrel?
/Mashu: Do you believe I won't just pair an Origin Bullet with an anti-material sniper rifle?
.....
"My King's dining table? Black Barrel?"
Romani was stunned. What is a Black Barrel? Is it Mash's weapon? Why didn't he know about it?
And how could Mash, a Shielder, use a gun?
—
『 "Mash, leave the support to me!" Fujimaru Ritsuka said seriously.
Once again, burning through her Magic Circuits, she summoned a Heroic Spirit.
"Right!" Mash's figure flickered continuously, dodging the invisible spatial cuts. In just a few breaths, she had arrived in front of Solomon!
"TRI-STAR AMORE MIO—!" The Moon Goddess Artemis, wielding a longbow, pierced through space with a single arrow, opening a path for Mash!
"TEARDROP PHOTON RAY—!" An extreme beam of light fell from the heavens, crashing violently against the barrier that surfaced around the Throne!
The barrier cracked like a shattered mirror, spiderweb fractures spreading across it. Seizing the moment, Mash raised the black shield in her hand. The air exploded with a sonic boom as the black shield became a blur, smashing down heavily!
An unstoppable strike landed directly on Solomon's chest! 』

"Damn it!"
The Chaos Evil Gudako held the Lewd Mash in one arm and the shivering Altera in the other!
"Every single one of you is slacking off! What are you doing?!"
The Chaos Evil could not understand!
The Moon Goddess Artemis, a literal True Machine God wielding a God-Slaying Armament?! Used just to clear a path?!
Altera, the avatar of the Star of Destruction, the Sefar… just broke a barrier?!
Are you kidding me?! Others might not see it, but could she, the Chaos Evil, be fooled?!
Isn't this just bullying her, the Chaos Evil tyrant?! She had never suffered such a grievance!
The Chaos Evil pressed her face abruptly against Altera's.
"Altera, how about you log into your main account?!"
Altera: "…Eh?!"

〜One Piece World〜
"Solomon definitely took heavy damage. Unless that world also has Tekkai(Iron Body),"
Rob Lucci of CP 0 stated with absolute certainty.
—
『 The terrifying strike almost embedded itself into Solomon's chest, but Mash discovered with horror that Solomon's expression hadn't changed in the slightest!
Instead, a terrifying light erupted from his chest, blasting her away!
On Solomon's hands, ten rings—nine gold and one silver—shone brilliantly!
To reward Chaldea's struggle, Solomon granted them the honor of witnessing his true form!
In an instant, the entire Throne collapsed. The ground disintegrated into ruins in a split second, rolling thunder swept across the earth, and the Band of Light emitted a bewitching, evil purple halo!
"Light Band, illuminate the Throne! The Grand Order commences NOW!!!"
You once asked who I truly am. Now, I give you the answer!
"I am the one who exists as the King of Mages, Solomon!"
"The Beast of Disaster, the Incineration of Human Order— King of Demon Gods, GOETIA!!!" 』
