I'm doing a crossover anime/manga project, and I'm creating a new kind of "Moonlight&

Until a dazzling band of light stretched from north to south, across the sky...

A calamity called the Beast has befallen us.

Countless images flashed by, as if we had arrived at the end of time.

I have arrived in this dead world.

"I am not human, I am heaven, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

The magnificent Buddha, towering into the clouds, fills the entire field of vision, its compassionate spirit burning brightly, igniting even the dim starry sky.

"Son of man... what kind of mindset do you have when you stand before me, old Sun...?"

Volume 1: Chapter 18 The Internet Frenzy!

The towering, majestic form, higher than the sea of ​​clouds and more imposing than the mountains, slowly rose, its two fiery eyes, burning with golden flames like the sun, gazing upon the tiny figure.

"Let the past fade away, let the old die, only by letting go can we move towards the future."

This is the way of Heaven, this is the principle of the universe's cycle....

The stone monkey's voice was not cold; on the contrary, it was full of love for people, respect for life, and compassion for all things.

He is the traveler, the path he came from.

He is a person of the past, a Buddha of the present.

As he spoke, one by one, kind-hearted and human-loving heroic spirits appeared from the void.

Every pair of compassionate eyes tells a story.

Humans, give up, stop suffering.

Demise now is rebirth in the future.

At the feet of the stone monkey.

Even less than a speck of dust on a stone monkey's fur, the blue-haired girl, struggling in endless pain, smiled wearily.

"No, aren't we humans just hopelessly foolish creatures? Goetia and Rahu, aren't they standing before us precisely because of their love for humanity?"

But whatever it may be, anything that stands before us humans will inevitably be defeated. After all... human history is a hymn to courage.

One, two, three... countless ancient heroes stepped forward as spirits, exchanging smiles with their Masters.

Yes.

This is their human will.

"Is that so?"

The stone monkey lowered its brows, sighing with the compassion of Buddha.

The world anchor, named Ruyi Divine Iron, slowly rose and then swung down fiercely.

"Then overcome me!!"

Boom—!! Like a massive typhoon exploding, a near-shock wave as sharp as a blade swept across the entire world!

Centered on the point where the Ruyi Divine Iron landed, the void trembled and tore apart like a canvas, with ferocious cracks spreading in all directions and reaching the end of the plate.

Wherever it passed, lakes evaporated, mountains shattered, and even the earth's crust was torn apart. Lava rose into the sky like pillars, carrying fragments of tectonic plates into the stratosphere.

Even more terrifying are the shock waves that transmit vibrations.

From towering, majestic mountains to boundless forests, from roaring, rushing rivers to vast, surging lakes...

Everything was torn apart by the overwhelming, surging waves.

That blow was earth-shattering.

With absolute and overwhelming brute force, it swept everything away like dust, declaring that only one voice remained in the world.

Praise is useless, prayer is useless; this is the truth, this is divine punishment.

It was as if the heavens had struck down a palm, unleashing a torrent of fury that wiped everything off the ground.

Mountains and rivers, seas and oceans, the ends of the earth—all are meaningless at this moment.

From the starry sky, the entire planet looks like a watermelon that has been smashed hard with a stick, its juice splattering everywhere! It's riddled with cracks, as if it might burst open at any moment.

The sky has collapsed, the earth has cracked.

Beneath the iron rod, the stars wailed; only the divine iron stood tall between heaven and earth...

Unstoppable, irreversible, it is both a natural disaster and divine punishment, and a great extinction!

The remnants of the solar system gradually receded, revealing extinguished stars and the vast, desolate depths of space.

As the light gradually dimmed, a deep, resolute, husky male voice arose from nowhere.

"The embers in the ruins have not been extinguished, the fire of the new world is brewing amidst the clamor, and the light of dawn will rise from the east."

The darkness will eventually pass, and the embers of the flame will return like a raging tsunami, burning away all filth and settling all sins...

at last.

The screen went completely dark, and silver lettering emerged to the strains of melodious yet vibrant music...

"【Fate/Grand Order】"

......

Quiet.

At this moment, the group of people who stayed up late to cultivate immortality fell into a deep silence, as if they had merged with the future on the screen and could not get out of it for a long time.

Cangshan is like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood.

The entire promotional video is majestic and grand, with a natural and seamless artistic conception.

Although it depicts the future, it draws the viewer into a vast and boundless realm, evoking a sense of contemplating the eternal expanse, originating from the ancient sun and moon...

for a long time.

Only then did someone gasp in surprise, unable to contain their toothache.

"...This is a game trailer?"

Oh my god.

Don't be fooled by the fact that AI exists now; it actually has enormous limitations.

The final scene depicting the cosmos and starry sky was so realistically rendered that its production cost must have been at least 500 million yen.

The most outrageous one is the Stone Monkey's staff, which is famous throughout Asia.

With that kind of effect, even if you beat them to death, they still wouldn't be able to figure out how it was done.

Some engineering experts have recognized its true value.

From rays, plate rupture, lake evaporation, to the parabolic trajectory of magma... there's not a single flaw to be found.

What kind of physics engine is this?

Unreal Engine 5?

Bullshit, eighteen isn't even enough!

TAKI: "Holy crap, could it be alien technology? I heard that China captured aliens, which is why they've had such a technological explosion. They're even going to launch a laser fighter jet from sub-space by the end of the year."

Fallen Angel Black Cat: "Pfft, burning aliens' butts with cigarette butts on the moon, huh? Stop with the conspiracy theories, okay? Don't you know that behind all those high-tech technologies in the US federal government are Chinese teams? This is just normal progress after they've met their basic needs."

Kasumi Shiko: "That's right. I remember that our virtual reality game was also going to be released at the end of next year, right? It'll be in the next year or two. I think it's called [Sword Art Online]."

Asuna: "No, no, no, these two are completely different concepts. The technology of this game trailer is a generation ahead of all other related companies in Japan."

Her family works in the industry, so how could she not know the true value of this new company from Chaldea?

This is absolutely cutting-edge technology!

However, ordinary people are obviously not experts. They can only feel that the technology is advanced, but they cannot clearly perceive how outrageous or unscientific it is.

The discussion quickly veered off-topic.

One netizen with the ID "Guitar Hero" seemed quite lively.

"Don't you guys think the epic feel of the background music... is absolutely world-class? I think at least in recent years, it's been top-tier music from around the world."

For example, if we find out who invited our Japanese pride, Touma Yoko, we can know who's behind the game.

Meow Dream: "Now that you mention it, I've noticed it. The background piano sound does indeed have the feel of Ms. Yaozi, but... to be honest, although I respect Ms. Yaozi's skills and achievements, I don't think she could play at that level... that's something that humans can't do."

"Yes, I can still almost hear that desolate music, and I can still almost see that grand and despairing worldview..."

Tuanzi: "This is terrible, the future of humanity!"

Volume 1: Chapter 19 The Incredible Matching Mechanism!

"Hey, hey, hey upstairs, this is just a game."

"Holy crap, is this supposed to be a game trailer? I almost couldn't walk out of there!"

"Ah, me too. I almost forgot. I almost thought that was the future of humanity."

But the concept of heroic spirits is just fantastic, and the actors' performances were simply divine. I almost genuinely believed that ancient heroes had been resurrected.

"Yes, yes, during the Battle of Heroes, I almost couldn't breathe. It was as if I really saw gods fighting."

"Wow, that golden Servant is really strong. When he fought the other one who was green, the whole planet was lit up."

Fallen Angel Black Cat: "His name is Gilgamesh, right? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before."

Xiao Tongtong: "The Epic of Gilgamesh, I learned it in elementary school textbooks."

Fallen Angel Black Cat: "Who remembers that? But it was so early? Hehehe, your strength is not bad, you are already comparable to the Queen of the Night Kingdom."

"It's probably him. The other one should be Enkidu. Also, so Kuroneko-chan has chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?"

Fallen Angel Black Cat: "Who's got chuunibyou? I'm a Heroic Spirit Caster, summoned to this world! Watch out, or I'll curse you through the internet!!!"

Kikyo Angel: "Wait, don't you guys think some of the people inside look familiar?"

Why did she feel that the woman inside, wearing a black coat, with a blank look and a ruthless killing intent, resembled a certain woman in her class?

Correct.

It was as if she saw through her true nature, and rejected the idea of ​​becoming friends with a certain woman.

If only it really were her, with that numb look in her eyes, a look of despair as if she were crying out, "Someone save me!"

Sai~ Gao~

A fake angel, a bellflower that's black inside, is holding a heart. Just imagining it with my eyes closed makes me feel like I'm about to climax.

"Haha, I can't wait! Even if it costs more than 200,000 yen, I'm definitely going to get this game. The trailer alone is worth it."

"It's worth it, absolutely worth it, even if it's ten million yen! Believe me, this is an epic game that will sweep the world. Just becoming a player and starting a live stream is enough to make you financially independent."

Kasumi Utako: "Of course I believe you, but compared to making money, I want to play this game right now! I'll die without FGO!!!"

"Oh my god, me too! My whole body is itchy, like I'm having a drug withdrawal!"

Xiao Tongtong: "Damn it, Chaldea is keeping us hanging!! [○?｀Д′?○]!!"

Eri Kashiwagi: "Yeah, let's go, everyone go to the official website and urge them to update! Who can get 10,000 spots? If foreigners see this, they'll think we can't afford it!"

"Wait, the trial levels have been released! You can play them if you have VR glasses at home!!!"

"Oh my god, it's really true! I can experience the trial level for only 20,000 yen?"

"Another world-level realism? Really?"

The black cat looked at the interface that resembled a dazzling starry sky and felt somewhat uneasy.

Her inner chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Xiao Tongtong rolled her eyes: "Of course it is, it's for publicity, you know what publicity is?"
