Fate/Grand Order Story and Lore (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[fumei]

Doesn't the end of Olympus shows the characters running out of godhood somewhere along the escape sequence?

I didn't find an explicit line for this at a quick glance, just Holmes saying before the fight with Caenis that Fujimaru was "already at their (magical energy) limit" which sort of implies they obviously didn't ascend beyond what they were already capable of, but in the grand scheme of things, it's only logical that the whole thing just faded away because the whole point was that Kirschtaria needed to stay behind and act as the linchpin of his new world and whatnot, so when both he and atlas (who was meant to put down the new texture) disappears, then obviously the effects of their new texture would also disappear.

Νo. Just that they're on their last fumes after Zeus+Caenis+Wodime gauntlet.

Part 2 Prologue:

	English	Japanese
Narration	2017, December the 31st The clear skies are once more being covered by heavy clouds. Well then... Let the end of 2017 commence.	2017年　12月　31日 晴れていた空は、再び重い雲に覆われつつある。 では 2017年の終わりを始めよう。
You	Da Vinci has still not come back...	……ダ・ヴィンチちゃんが戻って来ない……
Fou	Fou...	フォーウ……
Mashu	Indeed. 12 hours have passed since she was called over by Mr. Goredolf. At present, the time is 16:30... Less than 8 hours until the end of the 31st.	はい。昨夜からゴルドルフ氏に呼ばれて、 もう12時間が経過します。 現在、16時30分。 ……31日が終わるまで、あと8時間足らずですが……

Bluebook segment from SIN Prologue:

	English	Japanese
Bluebook	I think back on that day as calmly as I can. The year that the invaders fell onto Earth. In actuality, there was time for us to prepare. It had only been a mere 12 hours, but we certainly had time to prepare. On the night of New Year's eve, all signals from man-made satellites were lost the world over. In addition, all types of space rays became impossible to observe, and a grey sky covered the entire Earth. Now I know that this is a dome covering the Earth created by the "Tree Roots". But back then, humanity had no time to consider such absurd fantasies. And then, 12 hours later, Doomsday arrived.	……私は努めて冷静に、あの日の事を思い返した。 この地球に侵略の手が落ちてきた年の事を。 実のところ、我々に猶予はあった。 たった12時間しかなかったが、確かに猶予はあったのだ。 新年を迎えたあの夜、世界中の人工衛星が一斉にロストした。 ついで、あらゆる宇宙線の観測が不可能になり、地球全体が灰色の空模様になった。 今ならそれが『樹枝』によって作られた空の膜…… 地球を覆ってしまったドームだと分かるのだが、当時の人類にはそんな馬鹿げた空想を許容する時間は無かった 。 そして12時間後、審判の日がやってきた。

Eh, 12 hours is a very convenient number, I really can't see it more than a coincidence

[Petrikow]

Eh, 12 hours is a very convenient number, I really can't see it more than a coincidence

Then you wanna guess how many times 12 hours appears in the main story?

[Herod]

how many times respect to 1 day and 2 days?

[VTKajin]

A mandatory 12 hour rest is probably not a coincidence.

[Petrikow]

how many times respect to 1 day and 2 days?

Every single instance is in my post.

[Petrikow]

I actually felt as though a lot of the things in my post spoke for themselves, but allow me to expand:

Bluebook mentions that the invasion took place on New Year's Eve (the 31st of December).
The Prologue takes place on the 31st of December (New Year's Eve).

Bluebook mentions that at night all signals from outer space ceased.
Mashu mentions that the time is 16:30, and that it has been 12 hours since Da Vinci was called over (16:30-12:00=4:30=Night).

Bluebook mentions that after 12 hours, the invasion began.
Kotomine arrives after the 12 hours are up to inform Chaldea that the coffins are open, upon which the invasion of Chaldea begins.

If this is a coincidence, it is a very elaborately manufactured coincidence. In fact, perhaps constructing this 'false' correspondence of events was the very objective that Kotomine set out on.

What, like in the Rail Zeppelin part of the Case Files rerun?

Lostroom images

Let's recontextualize this:

The events of the Lostroom are a simulation, something unreal.
However, the people within experience only things they can know.
Olga was in the Lostroom, no doubt.
This is what she hears and sees.
At first glance, we will assume that the people she's talking to are informing her of things from the past.
"We no longer have anyone to take your place".
But that is not a statement from the past.
After all, we know that they have someone to take her place.
These words reflect Olga's reality.
The Alien God's reality.
As do the rest.
'CHALDEAS showing abnormalities weeks ago' > CHALDEAS light suddenly has gone out by the time of Salem.
'You haven't been sleeping much, have you, Olga' > She's been busy simulating the strange alternative Restoration of Human Order we see right before this scene.
'You should have the doctor take a look at you' > The people experimenting on her
'The Rayshift experiment report... and the accompanying request for selecting the Master candidates have been approved' > The Crypters have been selected to work for the Alien God
'Director, you need to have your mandatory 12 hours of sleep' > Because during this time, you need to prepare for the invasion

かな？

And before all those lines the "Simulation of Olga Mary survives the 7 singularities" was just finished.

That's a cool theory and all, but have we figured out the discrepancy between what Bluebook's narration said happened and what Chaldea actually observed happening? Like, he apparently found ruins and signs of other survivors and area 51 intact, but in the "real world" there's nothing but bleached white everywhere. If we can't reconcile his narration with the events we know there's not much point in putting it all on a timeline.

[Reign]

The leading theory right now is Bluebook's world is actually Chaldeas, not Earth. That explains both the discrepancies and his weird technology like a solar-powered motorcycle that can drive from Australia to America, since Chaldeas simulates 100 years in the future.

- - - Updated - - -

Also he calls Area 51's tech outdated while Moriarty calls it state of the art. And he says the alien landed in 2016, while Moriarty says it's been experimented on for 100 years. But if Bluebook's world is 2116, it makes sense.

Like, he apparently found ruins and signs of other survivors and area 51 intact, but in the "real world" there's nothing but bleached white everywhere.

This is not true. Chaldea also found similar ruins in the real bleached earth.
