"Hahahahaha—! I really want to fight an opponent like that. He must be an Enhancer, right!!!" Uvogin unleashed all his Nen power, shattering the ground beneath his feet and sending rocks and rubble flying in all directions.

"Indeed, he is a truly admirable man. I admire him!!!" Nobunaga regarded Achilles as his idol, a warrior worthy of worship.

“I really like Achilles too... I’ve never seen such a handsome man.” Little Drop said innocently.

Hisoka assessed the gap between himself and Achilles, "Oh dear, it seems I'm no match for Achilles... I'll be killed in a single exchange."

Slayers World.

"So cool!! Achilles, you're the coolest man I've ever seen wielding a spear!!!" Lina Inbas said.

Gamelia said, "Eh... Kakashi is also protecting the world he loves. I feel like... Chaldea is the evil one... They didn't do their utmost to deprive the creatures of the Atlantic Lostbelt of their right to live."

“Yes, there is no right or wrong, only the victor… who gets everything.” Jerugandis nodded.

"Whether it's the demon race, the dragon race... or the human race, only the strong can determine their fate," Jero said.

Full Metal Panic! World.

Andrei Seger was making beet soup in the kitchen. "Hmm... I'm sure I'll succeed this time. I'm sure I can make it taste like my wife's."

In a red iron pot, the world's most delicious borscht is simmering.

Theresa Testarossa sat in a chair, waiting curiously for Andrei Seger to make the borscht.

EVA world.

"What a pity... such a handsome man, Achilles."

Asuka said.

Misato Katsuragi took a sip of curry-flavored beer ramen. "But he fought with great enthusiasm and bought enough time. He successfully and excellently completed his mission."

Demon Slayer World.

"A magnificent battle to the very end... a magnificent death, truly worthy of the great hero Achilles from mythology," said Uzui Tengen.

He had immense respect for Achilles' fighting spirit, which surpassed that of anyone he had ever met.

“Even at the moment of parting, he did something to help Fujimaru Ritsuka... a hero with both courage and wisdom,” said Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

"Even so... this is the world I love so much, yes, that's right... it's truly one of the saddest TOP 4." Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes glistened with tears. There was nothing she could do... to make the Atlantic Lostbelt and Pan-Human History coexist peacefully.

"—In conclusion. I will offset the shelling to buy you some time. And then—sorry, that's up to you!" Hector said.

“Wait, wait, elder brother! I have something else to say to you—” Paris stumbled toward Hector, he had so much to say to his brother.

Hector looked at Paris and roared, "Paris!!!"

“…!!” Paris pursed his lips, looking at his brother Hector.

"I've basically said everything I needed to say to you." Hector, proud of his brother, beamed with a radiant smile and praised, "You fought exceptionally well. And—"

Hector looked at Mandicardo and smiled slightly, saying, "I'm counting on you, junior."

“…!!” Mandicardo nodded.

At the same time, Artemis's railgun has also been fired!

The pure white beam of light pointed directly at the location where Fujimaru Ritsuka was.

Endless, dazzling light is about to fall upon everyone's heads.

Hector's face was extremely serious. He held the indestructible lance Durandal tightly in his right hand, stood calmly in front of Orion, raised his lance, and pointed it at the sky.

"Master." Hector raised his spear, bent his legs to gather strength, and prepared to meet the impending Luna orbital bombardment.

“...Hmm.” Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Hector and nodded.

"Thank you for summoning me out. This must be what they call a once-in-a-lifetime stage," Hector declared with a bold and fearless smile.

"Target confirmed." Hector's face contorted in a ferocious grimace, the muscles in his right hand bulging, veins popping, his waist poised for a powerful thrust. He roared, "My spear is an indestructible masterpiece—even if I am shattered to pieces!!! This spear remains the crystallization of unbreakable hope!!!"

The dazzling aurora borealis wrapped around Hector's right-hand spear-like Durandal.

"The Indestructible Ultimate Gun—Go!!!!!"

Durandal, wreathed in rings of aurora, met Artemis's furious orbital cannon barrage.

The dazzling aurora borealis and the pure white pillar of light collided and neutralized each other continuously.

Endless golden light dripped down.

After a few seconds, the arrow shot by the moon goddess was completely neutralized.

BOOM——!!!!

With his right arm blown off, Hector groaned in pain and collapsed to his knees.

Durandal completed his mission and fell from the sky, landing on the ground.

The blade of the peerless sword Durandal remained completely undamaged.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the holy sword bestowed upon heroes by angels.

Durandal, the beacon of hope, stood quietly planted in the ground, waiting for a hero to pick him up again.

"Brother!!!" Paris cried out in anguish, his eyes brimming with tears.

"Ah... Uncle... I'll stop here. But I've bought myself a little time." The terrifying recoil of Artemis's orbital cannon shattered Hector's spirit core.

Hector was enveloped in countless starlight, which began to dissipate, and his body gradually became ethereal...

"No matter how powerless, no matter how desperate, we still have something we can do, right?"

"Think carefully!!" Hector's meaningful words pierced the hearts of Mandecardo and Paris.

Hector looked at the expression on Paris's face and said softly, "...Paris. Have you figured it out?"

Paris took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and said to Orion, "...Mr. Orion!"

"Ah... Ahhh..." Orion clutched his right hand, it hurt so much.

Paris declared firmly, "I will be the arrow!!!"

"!" Apollo exclaimed in shock. "Wait, Paris, my lord, this—"

"You can do it, Lord Apollo!!!" Paris asked Apollo with a determined expression, "When I shot Achilles through the heel, Lord Apollo gave my arrow power, didn't you?"

"You are the god of arrows, so naturally you can turn me into an arrow!"

“—Yes,” Apollo said reluctantly, “but is it alright? This could actually kill you, you know?”

“It’s alright!!! If fate truly exists, this is the turning point.” Paris stood firmly before Orion’s life. “I must step forward now!!”

Who says a boy can't become a hero?

male.

Paris will become a hero!

Apollo sighed helplessly. "I understand. Then I'll use my power to turn you into an arrow. The same shape as Hephaestus's, is that alright?"

“But I need to take a little time. In other words, someone has to buy me ten more seconds.”

Mandicardo wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out. "Can I do it?!"

Apollo asked Mandicardo, "Mandicardo, can you do it?"

"—It's probably achievable." Mandecardo's dead fish eyes gleamed with the brilliance of an adventurer.

Mandecardo addressed Hector in the tone and manner of an adventurer: “Lord Hector, my name is Mandecardo, King of the Tatars and an adventurer. I am the one who swore an oath to find the sword Durandal you carry.”

Mandicardo bit his lip and pleaded, "Please, let me—"

Hector interrupted Mandicardo, looking at him with utmost trust. "You don't need to continue, Mandicardo. —I allow it."

"But, uncle, I have a piece of advice for you. Make sure you say goodbye properly."

Having said that, Hector returned to the Throne of Heroes.

....................

....................

The Atlantic Lostbelt world.

"Lord Hector!!!! I accept it, I know what I should do!" Mandecardo shouted loudly to Hector in the picture.

He will definitely protect his friend Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Brother... is this how we'll say goodbye in the future...?" Paris said sadly, his eyes filled with tears.

She had only just met her brother...

Only a few minutes have passed...

I'm sure I'll have a lot to say to my brother in the future.

“…” Apollo was very reluctant to turn Paris into an arrow.

“...;;!........” Fujimaru Ritsuka silently lowered her head. In the future, everyone... everyone is gone.

Is it just me and Mashu again?!

And then there's Jason, Orion...

Could it be that Mandicardo also wants to...?

The interstellar city of Olympus, the timeline of the God-Breaking Alliance.

Edison said, "I never expected... even Hector would be summoned. It's outrageous... we've lost too many people trying to defeat Artemis."

“However! Hector has perfectly fulfilled his mission! He truly deserves to be called the ultimate spear that carries the light of hope. Gods can never control the lives of us humans!” Nikola Tesla looked at the vanished Hector with a resolute expression.

"Hopefully Mandecardo can withstand the next railgun attack..." Helena silently prayed for Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash, Mandecardo, Orion, and Paris.

"He can definitely do it, because! It's his duty to protect his best friend!! gooooooood!!" Sakata Kintoki had unwavering faith in Mandecardo; he was certain he could surpass his past.

We came to this most dangerous Atlantic Lostbelt in order to surpass ourselves and overcome our past selves.

Grand Carnival World.

"Brother, you're amazing!!" The adorable Paris stretched out his arms and hugged Hector, sticking close to his brother.

"Hahaha... I didn't expect to leave so quickly. If only I could have blocked one more railgun attack for you guys..." Hector scratched his hair, looking a little embarrassed.

I still haven't been able to finish all the things Achilles asked me to do...

I never expected that Achilles would ask me for a favor.

Hahahaha...!

Artoria, holding her rice bowl, had a sudden inspiration: "If... if I were to reward Fujimaru Ritsuka with the distant ideal world, wouldn't that be enough to stop the Moon Goddess's orbital cannon?!"

Under the protection of a distant ideal land.

Even ten thousand Artemis could not penetrate it, even for the user in the fairy realm.

This idea is fantastic!

The distant ideal world is not a magical artifact, but a real artifact that exists in reality.

....................

....................

“Ritsuka…” Mandecard walked to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was hanging her head and had tears in her eyes. “Although it’s a little earlier than planned… I have to say goodbye to you here, my friend.”

Sad music—no, it's the background music for the warrior Mandicardo.

“...Mandicardo...Are you leaving too!?” Fujimaru Ritsuka asked softly, her body trembling.

"Don't make that face."

In space, only seconds remain before Artemis launches her next barrage.

"...We were originally summoned to save the world."

"But I only want to do this for purely personal reasons."

Mandecardo exuded the aura of a great adventurer, yet also displayed inferiority and self-deprecation.

All the negative feelings of self-blame disappeared, and he said firmly to Fujimaru Ritsuka, "I want to help my friend. I want to help you. And this is the only way I can think of to help you."
