Fate's Choice: Livestream at the Start Summoning Billions of Ravens

[Rider Newton wins the first battle]

The words remained suspended in the air for a full thirty seconds.

"?"

"???"

"?????????"

At the same time, an overwhelming number of question marks flooded the screens of all social media platforms around the world with a remarkable synchronization rate.

Meanwhile, in Japan, 2ch is the largest anonymous forum.

A post was instantly pushed to the very top of the homepage, followed by a long string of flame icons representing "viral".

Breaking News: Lord Madara... Defeated

In just one minute, the number of replies to this post exceeded 100,000.

[1L: You're kidding, right?]

[2L: I can't accept this!!! That's Madara-sama! Perfect Susanoo! Rinnegan! Infinite Tsukuyomi! How could he possibly lose to an old British man from hundreds of years ago?!]

[3L: Hey upstairs, didn't you watch the live stream? That old man... damn it, he conjured a singularity with his bare hands! A singularity! That's something that only exists in theory in physics!]

[4L: Physics... Physics... It's physics again! Our mythology, our culture, our "strongest," are they really going to be killed by a few formulas?]

[5L: I cried, really. When I saw Madara standing there and disappearing, I felt like a part of me died with him. He was so strong, all he wanted was to bring peace to the world...]

[6L: Peace? Are you out of your mind? Making meteorites over Hiroshima, and you call that peace? I feel relieved; the sword hanging over the world is finally gone.]

[7L: Coward! You're not worthy to understand Madara's greatness!]

The opinions expressed in the post quickly split into three distinct camps.

On one side are the fervent fans who lamented the power and tragic end of Uchiha Madara.

On the other hand, there are realists who are relieved that the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" world-destroying plan has finally failed.

The third party, however, elevated the outcome of this contest to the level of national sentiment and national dignity.

[89L: This is not a simple duel; it's a premeditated public execution targeting our Japanese culture! They want to tell the world that our ninjas, our Bushido, everything we're so proud of, is worthless in the face of their "science"!]

[90L: That's right! This is an arrogant judgment of Eastern mysticism by Western scientism! Newton's victory is the defeat of our entire nation!]

Such extreme and inflammatory remarks quickly garnered a large number of likes and endorsements.

On the other side of the ocean, on Weibo in China, the scene is completely different.

#Newton won#

#MasakuraIsGone#

Two very different terms, within just five minutes, forcefully climbed to the top of the trending search list, becoming number one and number two respectively.

The comments section was less of a discussion and more of a grand online carnival.

Countless memes were created at lightning speed, the most widely circulated of which was a meme that photoshopped a pair of sunglasses onto a classical portrait of Newton.

Above the image is a line of extremely arrogant words.

"I, Isaac Newton, am here today to tell you—"

Below the image is another line of text.

"Physics is all about doing whatever you want!"

This image was shared over a million times in just half an hour, becoming the most accurate footnote to this epic showdown.

The "Holy Grail War" section of Reddit, a mainstream forum in Europe and America, was a sea of ​​jubilation.

Users used various academic terms to deconstruct every physical principle Newton used in the battle, from gravitational distortion to optical illusions, and finally to that unbelievable gravitational singularity.

They defined this victory as "the ultimate victory of reason over charlatans".

[User 'Logic_Over_All': Did you see that? That's the power of logic! No matter how powerful your magic is, no matter how high you climb, you'll eventually be reduced to elementary particles before the absolute laws of physics!]

[User 'ScienceBros': Sir Isaac Newton proved to us that the most powerful magic in this universe is mathematics, F=ma, the eternal god!]

The global network, due to the end of the same battle, split into vastly different worlds of joy and sorrow.

As time went on, the discussion continued to escalate.

On the Japanese internet, the emotions mixed with grief and resentment began to slide in an increasingly distorted direction.

In that post with over 500,000 replies, a completely new and chilling viewpoint quietly emerged.

[57884L: I suddenly wonder... were we wrong from the very beginning?]

【57885L: What does that mean?】

[57886L: Imagine if, after Madara arrived, he didn't use any meteorite threat over Hiroshima, but instead... directly activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi...]

[57887L: ...Then we should now be in a blissful dreamland without pain, strife, or oppression.]

[57888L: Yeah... No more facing the five-nation coalition, no more having to be mindful of the Russian bear's attitude, no more worrying about tomorrow's mortgage and bills...]

[57889L: So, Lord Ban didn't lose to Newton.]

[57890L: He was defeated by his own soft heart!!!]

This utterly absurd conclusion spread rapidly, like a virus, among the desperate netizens of Japan.

They began to spontaneously "reflect," attributing all the mistakes to Madara Uchiha's "excessive intimidation" and "unnecessary mercy."

……

On the other side, in a mirrored world, in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Dead silence.

Absolute silence.

Inside the "Warrior" armored command vehicle of the Chinese advance team.

The lieutenant colonel and several soldiers were gathered around a single-soldier terminal, on which were displayed battle reports transmitted synchronously from the real world via a one-way encrypted channel.

[Rider Newton wins the first battle]

"hiss……"

A young soldier gasped, muttering to himself, "Uchiha Madara... he actually lost."

In their minds, Madara Uchiha, who could conjure meteorites by hand and single-handedly form an army, was practically synonymous with "strong."

Even such a force failed.

This gave everyone in the car a deeper understanding of the horror of this so-called "Holy Grail War".

Only Jiang Ming, who was in the corner, was not surprised by this result.

Both are T0-level entities, representing the pinnacle of their respective strengths.

When a strong person meets an even stronger person, it is only natural that they will lose.

"Attention all units!" The lieutenant colonel commander quickly recovered from his shock and issued the order via internal communication: "Immediately begin constructing a circular defensive perimeter with a radius of five kilometers, centered on the 'Gateway' landing point!"

"yes!"

"Engineers lay anti-tank cones and barbed wire! Note: Maintain a safe distance of at least two kilometers from the other four countries' forces! Avoid any misunderstandings!"

"clear!"

The order was quickly relayed.

Armored vehicles began to move slowly, and soldiers filed out, setting up their own strongholds in the desolate city.

However, at that moment...

A communications technician suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Report!"

"There's a problem!"

The lieutenant colonel commander whirled around: "What's the problem?"

The technician pointed to a row of screens in front of him, his face covered in cold sweat: "GPS...our GPS system, it's all broken! Zero signal! We've lost all satellite positioning!"

What?!

The lieutenant colonel rushed over and stared intently at the screen.

The signal bars representing the Global Positioning System on the screen were completely gray.

On the maps of all vehicles and individual soldier terminals, the blue dots representing their positions flashed wildly before disappearing completely.

"What about the radio?"

"One-way communication with the real world is normal! But..." The technician swallowed hard, "Within the mirror world, all radio communications beyond line of sight have been completely cut off! Signals can't be sent out or received!"

This discovery struck like a bolt from the blue, instantly impacting everyone inside the command vehicle.

The message was reported immediately with the highest priority.

Three minutes later, the Joint Command of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council confirmed this disastrous fact.

There are no artificial satellites in the sky of this mirror world.

Whether it's America's GPS, China's BeiDou, Russia's GLONASS, or France's Galileo... all modern equipment that relies on space-based information systems for support has become a pile of scrap metal at this moment.

This is a dark Earth without "eyes".

After a few seconds of silence, the lieutenant colonel commander issued the order again.

"Pass on my orders!"

"Abandon electronic navigation altogether and switch to paper maps, compasses, and laser rangefinders to determine the coordinates of the position!"

At this moment, the efficiency of the troops' operations suddenly dropped to the level of World War II.

The same problems also broke out in the camps of America, the Russian Bear, John Bull, and the French Rooster.
