You are
not needed.
Light my fire
Get rid of this reality that tries to unveil
and repaint my secret feelings
So what if fate was inevitable
Nobody can predict what would happen
I fight against it with all I have
to hold the future I've seen in your eyes
in my hands
Shout out your existence
Shout out
Whatever difficulties
are waiting ahead
Light my fire
Impressive, my Priestess.
You have done well to guide the Seireiden
to these coordinates.
Is something here?
How many times must you question me?
If you wish to collect information,
you're being too obvious.
It is nothing complicated.
Now, we simply make the gate.
Impossible.
When one is banished by the Eternal Abyss,
there is no return.
As a Crimson Denizen,
not even the God of Creation can escape this fate.
No. It is possible.
It is entirely possible, Flame of Heaven.
My servants and I
have gathered here with a plan.
Yes. Ever since that moment millennia ago,
just before the Eternal Abyss caught me,
I took a portion of my Strategist's life, the Insignia, from her.
Shrine Gates
What do you mean, I'm not needed?
The General, Thousand Changes Sydonay,
said your role, one supposedly necessary to our endeavor, was mere entertainment.
The Strategist and Arbiter of Reverse Reasoning, Bel Peol,
is aware of our master's naivety and inexplicable ways,
and she has set for herself the task of overcoming them.
Why doesn't she set up the Fuzetsu and then devour me?
However, my opinion differs from theirs.
You are unnecessary for the completion of the master's Grand Order.
You are nothing but a threat to it.
I see. She's here of her own accord.
I had my Priestess withdraw this insignia from the rift.
And through trial and error, I gave her the Unrestricted Spell
to craft a vessel able to enforce my will and wield my power.
The name given to this spell was the "Psalm of Grand Order."
The Psalm of Grand Order...
I constructed a path within the rift,
and awaited completion of the vessel.
In this world, it would harness the God of Creation's power
and create a gate leading back to that path.
Thousands of years passed,
and the body was completed,
despite some deviation from the original plan.
So you will travel through this gate, follow the path,
and regain your original body?
Indeed.
By my command,
let the Divine Gate come into being.
This is the place closest to my body,
where the distortion created by the Eternal Abyss settled,
as the endless eons continued to pass.
It is done.
Let us begin
the journey to recover my body.
I shall eliminate the threat.
You...
It's all right.
I-It is not...
It is not all right!
That Flame Haze is the
Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter!
She is the avatar of the god who slays even gods,
bringer of the dark god, the God of Atonement!
We must get rid of her. We must kill her!
I believe she's come to dislike to you, Flame of Heaven.
My Priestess, I commend your loyalty.
But you are the one who underestimates the dark god.
I chose to capture the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter
due to the love that Sakai Yuji, the Mystes, bears for her.
But that was not the sole reason.
If I were to kill her here,
what do you think would happen?
Would the dark god, the Flame of Heaven,
use his last option and materialize
in an attempt to destroy me instantaneously?
No.
This Lord remains intensely loyal to his perceived fate.
Thus, he would never choose something so rash and self-destructive.
Without question, he would go back to the Crimson Realm.
And upon returning, he would form a third contract immediately.
Then, alongside his new contractor,
he would appear before us at the worst possible moment.
and perform the Heavenly Destruction Earth Break.
We're fortunate to have the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter.
We shouldn't waste the chance.
We shouldn't test our luck by having the contractor closest to me
be the one with the dark god
who could ruin all our plans.
My, my.
What a terrible job you've done, Hecate.
I am overjoyed at this great destiny.
What a convergence.
What a journey. What a trial.
It's as if one had asked,
and everything requested had been granted.
I see. So Margery is working overseas.
I thought we could have a study group like we did during the summer.
Tanaka and Satou haven't been to school in a while either.
It's kind of lonely.
Yeah.
Well, I guess it's okay!
Once everyone comes back, we can have a party.
Yeah. Let's do that!
Once everyone comes back...
Shana protected this place.
Sakai is also trying to do something to protect it.
I...
I've been left behind here.
Isn't there something I can do?
I see.
I grasp the basic concept.
Dantalion...
Hm?
If I confine myself to the footage here,
may I make some changes?
I have a backup in the Conloquium.
Do whatever you like!
I shall, then.
Something bothering you?
I felt the harmony among magics was, in part, unnatural.
There are signs to suggest that
this Unrestricted Spell, Absorption, was functional prior to unification.
Huh?
Only the second Tyrant, created several hundred years ago,
should have required the Unrestricted Spell Absorption
to gather fragments for its personality.
That is correct!
However, the two Tyrants function as a single unit.
So the same spells are embedded within the first Tyrant,
which Lord Sabrac placed in the Reiji Maigo.
But that function should've been deactivated!
But you say it was active before the unification?
Most likely, it was a malfunction due to an incompatibility
with the Restriction Commandment someone placed on the Reiji Maigo.
I will continue to investigate this as I look into your other concern,
the uncertainties concerning the Treasure Tool.
How long has it been since you last drank here, General?
I couldn't say.
The drinks are as bad as ever.
I've been here enough to remember that.
They're excited.
And uneasy.
Uneasy with the coming battle
and over the change soon to be visited on the world?
I apologize.
I am your general, but I must be the first to leave.
Do not concern yourself.
Then we shall remain and do as we must.
The Servants will go to that land and achieve the goal. That is all.
As valiant as you are, we regret that we
may send only one.
We who shall fight here
are a shield, guarding the Trinity's back, as they execute the Grand Order.
We are honored, not angered, to fulfill such a role.
Do you need something, General Thousand Changes Sydonay?
No one can predict what will happen in a war.
I've said this before, but be careful.
I am well-versed in our strategies.
So long as I lead, you needn't worry.
Don't waste any of my soldiers' lives.
Offensive formations on attack.
Defensive in anticipation of counterattack.
The sole concern is to keep them from reaching the Seireiden.
That's correct.
Your job is to hold out until our return.
Yeah. I heard about what happened here after we left.
We're going now.
I thought you might have something you wanted to say to them.
No, nothing.
I'm sorry.
I see.
Perhaps I was wrong to ask.
Oh, yeah...
You know we're headed out to fight him, but you don't seek to stop us, do you?
I figured you'd ask us to save him.
I can't ask that.
Everyone believes what they're doing will protect the world,
and they'll risk their lives in the fight,
so I don't have the right to stop you.
But back there...
Where he told me goodbye...
Sakai was there.
That was definitely Sakai.
And if he was himself, and he's trying to do what he thinks he should,
then I can't be so arrogant as to request that you save him.
Oh, I see.
Then I guess I was simply being nosy.
Did we underestimate her?
It seems so. Humans can change overnight.
Khamsin? Behemoth?
May I ask you something?
Yeah. What is it?
It's about this Treasure Tool.
I'm coming in, Shana.
Are you well?
I'm fine.
You look good.
Shana.
Come with me.
Where?
Just upstairs for now.
Okay.
Shana, I am about to embark on a journey down a long path.
A long path?
The Abyss...
I'm retrieving my body
from the rift between worlds.
If the God of Creation's body is recovered,
what happens to Yuji?
Don't worry.
The Mystes Sakai Yuji's usefulness
is not limited to his possession of the Treasure Tool,
the Reiji Maigo.
He is too valuable to simply discard.
Oh, and I'm not interested in sacrificing myself for the world,
so don't worry about that.
Walking with you is my only wish.
Yes, I'll do what I must.
Why do you think Pheles,
as a Flame Haze, gave me this?
Shana tried to help Pheles
to recover Johann.
She gave this to me for that.
But...
She said if I ever use it,
I'll disappear without getting my wish.
But beyond that,
if Sakai didn't choose me,
I would've been sad and lost the feelings required to use it.
But Pheles gave it to me anyway.
So basically...
Yes...
You don't understand why the Colorful Wave
would give someone an item that could save the one she loves,
if she didn't know they could use it.
Yes, I want to know...
what it meant when Pheles gave this to me.
Right now, I doubt I could use it.
Not because I'll disappear or anything...
But back then, Sakai's joy and my joy
became different things.
I wanted for us to share our joy.
That was all, but...
If you can go back, you should.
I can't go back!
The fact that I'm here...
That all this happened...
It's what I chose.
It proves my existence!
Even if Sakai can't...
So for now...
I want anything that will help me understand Pheles!
Humans are wonderful creatures, aren't they,
Steadfast Sharp Peak Behemoth?
And that is why our fight has meaning,
Khamsin Nbh'w.
Okay, Yoshida Kazumi.
A terrible old story goes like this...
Once, in a desert land,
there was a prince known to be a prodigy.
One day,
a monster who consumed Power of Existence attacked his country.
To protect the king, the prince fought the monster.
The prince knew the king hated him.
But even so, the prince battled the monster.
Naturally, the prince lost.
When all that remained was for the monster to eat him,
he heard a strange voice.
"If you abandon all you have as a human
and become my vessel,
I will give you great power."
The prince gained a great power
and drove away the monster.
But though he'd risked his life for the king and his retainers,
none of them remembered him.
That was what it meant to abandon all he had as a human.
The prince went out into the wide world,
following the monster.
Hundreds of years later,
he found the monster again.
After a long, long time,
he finally found someone who knew him as he truly was.
The prince hated the monster for having driven him to this fate.
But at the same time, the prince loved the monster,
and the monster loved the prince too.
Why?
It was the prince who killed the monster he loved,
as it lied in his arms.
And it was the monster who inflicted a wound that was almost,
but not quite mortal, on the prince it loved.
Both thought that this was what they should do,
and both knew they would regret it.
And both knew they loved one another.
But both killed the other anyway.
That was love, in a sense.
For those who love another...
To disobey, to rage, to curse, to fight, to kill...
None of these disproves that love.
A love that's too strong may even make those more likely.
Love isn't just what the other person wants...
Everyone awaits your words.
Very well.
There are so many!
Do you feel it in your heart?
Does your body shake?
That is proof that you are to walk with me.
I move us now to the second stage of the Grand Order!
Above us!
I shall travel through the gate,
to recover my other self,
the body of the Snake of the Festival, beyond the Abyss.
I issue this order to you who will remain.
Protect the Seireiden until my return!
Wield sharpened blades,
bare fangs and claws, and howl!
Burn your flame brightly!
Use all your wit and wisdom!
Existence!
Give everything you have
to prove that you exist in this world!
Fight! Fight!
Fight!
If you do, I shall reach the final stage
of the Grand Order.
And change the world.
This time, we'll succeed!
Hail the Snake of Festival, the God of Creation!
I'll be back, Shana.
I shall show the entire world
my desire for change!
If your brilliant shining light
is still there inside me
that shall be my proof
of a new hope to keep living for
The painful wounds that slowly healed until yesterday
turn to lies I bear on the many paths I walk through time
But I don't want to make any more mistakes
Just that fading afterimage is
actually you yourself
I CAN'T BELIEVE MY WINGS ARE TO RIDE BY YOUR SIDE
I believe only fate can guide me
In my blazing memories
I had the chance to determine my future with one choice
If your brilliant shining light
is still there inside me
that shall be my proof
that I believe in a future where we can live together
I BELIEVE
