Now that the adrenaline has wear off, I just realized MC and Mashu managed to defeat Poseidon and LB Chiron on their own, with Stands of course, but still amazing.
That's Okeanas. Drake did grab one of Poseidon's cores but that's just one of several
About this civil war between the Gods, does that mean even without the Sefar Attack, at least some gods felt the Age of Gods had to end anyway in the all things must end sort of way? Interesting, and it's striking that Ares of all people believed this, and that Apollo and Artemis took opposite sides.
In addition, the way Hecate Island was described, was it built actually on a spaceship or the mech body of Hecate?
I'm kinda disappointed that this timeline seems to only be perfect for Kirschtaria to spam his spells so far. They hammer down the whole stagnation thing pretty fast.
A downpour of magical bullets made of light.
A howl or shriek. Or perhaps it was a scream.
The magecraft that was accompanied with enough magical energy to rival a shot from Artemis crushed the Servants. This was a magecraft system that used celestial bodies themselves as a "circuit."
In the depths of the astrology that the Chaldeans, founders of reading the stars, had passed down to the current era was this ultimate magecraft. Uniting magical energy that fills the earth; the magical energy that fills the firmament; and finally the heavens, the magical energy that fills the cosmos, a starry miracle as if forcing planets into sequence.
QUOTE=LB 5 Chapter 11
Holmes: We could only get audio... no, even the audio wasn't clear. It might be because of the nonstandard high-thaumaturgy that occurred - manipulating celestial bodies and dropping meteorites. In those three minutes, all instruments ceased functioning. No one in the Border could see what happened.
Da Vinci: .....
Gordolf: Muuuuu, whatever. Anyway $playername, Mash Kyrielight! Return at once! You've been through a terrible battle and need a vital check.
Mash: Y-yes. Understood. Let's go Master. My thoughts are all in a jumble.
Gordolf: Good, you've returned. The Servants are terribly wounded but it's good you're all okay. But, problem is Kirschtaria. No doubt, he uses magecraft that annihilates Servants. Is that possible for a human!?
Holmes: It's not. There are a few exceptions but there's no way a magus can defeat a Servant, a hero with many achievements.
Gordolf: Right?
Holmes: And even such an exceptional existence can be countered. But destroying multiple Servants like it was twisting a baby's hand is not the work of man. I've read through the reports on the Crypters. Of course, Kirschtaria is a genius but if he had such a gigantic amount of magical energy he would be receive a sealing designation.
$playername: Sealing designation?
Gordolf: It's the place those beyond genius, those individuals who have cultivated a unique magecraft end up. Like a proclamation saying "This is very interesting, so how about confining you or making you a specimen?" There's no higher honor in the Association or a greater annoyance to the designated to receive. Those types of people love research, you see. And after people are sealed, no more research. When a magus receives a sealing designation they usually part ways with the Association and disappear. There some exceptional people who have their sealing designation lifted in exchange for contributing to the Association. Ahhh, you can rest assured $playername. A hack like you wouldn't be designed to be sealed for anything. Ten thousand to one it happened, I'm originally from Policies so I'd use my connections to do something! Hahaha!
Holmes: Thank you for the explanation Mr. Gordolf. Well, that's why if you have enough magical energy to destroy a Servant there would already be records detailing such things. But it isn't the case here. Da Vinci, do you have impressions to add?
Da Vinci: A...Aa. Impressions, huh. Yes, I do. That magecraft was the fountainhead of astrology. That was the "primeval form" of astronomical magecraft which temporarily takes control of the planets, the sky, and the cosmos.
Gordolf: Hn? Astronomical magecraft may be the Animusphere's topic, but that's a method that predicts the future or surveys the planet, no? It can't create a cataclysm like that. Technical adviser, did you hit your head?
Da Vinci: I wish. For me... uhhh, no, Kirschtaria's magecraft was just obvious. It was "ideal magecraft" older than the Age of Gods, when the planet, heavens, and cosmos were full of magical energy. Humanity has turned to a consumption civilization. With the development of civilization all magecraft has deteriorated, its scope shrunk. Astrology is the same. That's right, the original astrology was about borrowing the power of the stars.
Holmes: The magical energy that rotated the "planet," filled the "sky," and poured down from the "heavens." In the world of ancient Greece, the sky and the heavens above were different layers. Of course, the quality of magical energy of each layer was different too. The heavens were the law that governed the cosmos. Without it, it would be impossible to control celestial bodies. Artificially place planets in a series and use them as a gigantic magic circuit. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say a magus could prepare the largest magic circuit in all of human history. Surely, creating a planetary roar with an astrological conjunction would send meteors hurtling down. Seeing is believing, so I have no other choice but to conclude thus. Kirschtaria Wodime. The zenith of humans with greater power than this Lostbelt's king.
Gordolf: (speechless)
Meunière: Un. If that's the case, he's excessively inconsistent. If he was such a god-like genius why didn't he already conquer the Clocktower a long time ago? I guess I just don't understand why he would come to Chaldea.
Gordolf: Umu, exactly. The jealous viewpoint of an average man. A good reference point Moony-kun.
Holmes: Indeed, there would be one reason he affiliated himself with Chaldea. Everything was to create this situation. Before the world became blank, he was talented but not almighty. Why? The state of the planet was fixed. You couldn't reproduce astronomical magecraft. No matter how great the magical formula the Animusphere hid was, you couldn't use it in the current environment. That's why he created this Atlantic Lostbelt. The Grecian view of the cosmos and the magecraft theory of the Animusphere are too compatible. In this Grecian world during the Age of Gods, his astronomical magecraft is close to godly. No, it's a mystery that surpasses the gods.
Gordolf: What? Management consultant, are you saying that making the planet blank was Kirschtaria's goal?
Holmes: That I do not know. Kirschtaria Wodime's power in the Atlantic Lostbelt is tremendous, but that's probably setting the table for someone. Probably the "Alien God." Kirschtaria who handles astronomical magecraft is the optimal believer for the "Alien God." This is further speculation but the only human "Alien God" needed might have been Kirschtaria. The other Crypters were extras, like “Sure, lets give them a shot.”
Mash: That... not caring about those lives, its...
Holmes: We shouldn't think about countermeasures right now. We don't have the tools to stop him. We should consider it after other factors are added in.
Gordolf: Umu. That's correct. Un. "Troublesome things are for tomorrow." Musik family, hidden precept. $playername: Hidden?
Gordolf: If Toole IV Type gets wind, she'll chase you until you finish! I definitely don't want that! Being attacked at sea again, no thank you!
Because people been saying weird shit about Wodime.

Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
So it's basically a "right place, right time" situation. Makes sense. Now I wonder what kind of guy non-FGO Wodime is, like in other Fate timelines. Same with all the other Crypters really.

We haven't actually seen Olympus yet, but I generally agree that they really seem to be pushing the stagnation narrative. It's not like they haven't been doing so from the very beginning, though.
Hephaestus basically admitted that they're all functionally dead already didn't he
Why Lily....

For the same reason you never see Saber Artoria or OG Emiya or Cu Lancer or Rider Medusa in the main story.
And about the Titans? They're really aliens right? Why they did the robots?
"Only in my company, will you not be a monster"
