You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

"You're too kind, Mami. At this point, we have no reason to give up!"

Exquisite CG, with a smoothness comparable to live-action performance, a stunningly high-quality animated PV flashes across the screen.

The Scarlet Alice, the Magical Assassin Mamika, and the Vogel Knight Ceresia—three characters with their own independent works—have now met in an anime.

Yes, in pursuit of that one and only, omnipotent miracle—the Holy Grail.

"What exactly is your purpose, Princess in Military Uniform?"

The next scene shifts to the ruins of a dilapidated city, where Meteora, with her short white hair, asks a question to Altair, who is suspended in mid-air.

"Do you want to obtain the Holy Grail and then destroy this world?"

Altair smiled nonchalantly: "Meteora, the seeker of ten thousand miles, even with your wisdom, you cannot stop me from launching a 'change' upon this world."

"I will stop you!"

"No, it's too late."

Altair waved his hand sternly: "My comrades have been gathered, and no one can stop this battle!"

Light and shadow flickered, and some mysterious humanoid silhouettes flashed by.

What followed was a chaotic melee of epic proportions, with mechs and demons, swordsmen and knights, orcs and magical girls flashing by in a dizzying array of visuals—

The narration sounded:

Fate is a conscious being that devours time like a giant beast, from the distant past to the future yet to be reached. Every world races against this torrent of time, and once it loses its "future," it will be swallowed by fate, turning into dregs and disappearing into the vast void.

However, a miracle occurred—

Countless worldlines that should have been abandoned, countless heroes without a future, are gathered together by the call of [Existence X], which is "Singularity F"—the final place of the multiverse!

They are self-loathing losers, beings abandoned by fate, but now they have the chance to start over.

In Singularity F, they will do everything in their power to sing, fight, and despair, both to save themselves and to protect the world!

All efforts will ultimately lead to that one and only being, possessing the divine authority to grant all wishes, even to reverse fate and time—

The Golden Star Cup!

A miraculous object capable of granting all wishes, a golden cauldron that unites people's prayers and thoughts. And when it appears in this world, news of calamity will spread throughout countless dimensions…

Heroes who thirst for battle and victory, who want to save the world or make amends for regrets, if you wish to change the tragedy of sliding into the abyss, then offer a wild and unrestrained feast to this upside-down world!

—A massive collaboration event: The Golden Singularity F, is in amazing preparation, stay tuned!

……

As he watched the promotional video playing on the giant electronic screen on the building across the street, Kubo Hideki, sitting in a corner by the window in the coffee shop, smiled knowingly.

"It can be described as 'bustling with activity'."

In recent days, a startling piece of news has begun to spread rapidly online, exciting enthusiasts in the relevant field.

That is a series of projects jointly organized by several industry leaders, and now they have finally brought out the grand finale!

Although they've already made big investments before, this time it seems they're taking live-action CG live-action to the extreme, building a film studio, much like "The Truman Show." The main characters aren't comedians, but rather characters from numerous popular shows—it's said that "anyone could appear," making it an unprecedentedly large-scale project!

In addition, it's not just about making animations or movies; they also hold offline events, invite popular voice actors, well-known directors, and playwrights to promote the films, and even some national treasure-level masters will make appearances.

Although some people doubted the project's oddity, the vast majority were excited about the appearance of their favorite characters.

After all, who wouldn't want to see Huihui battle Emilia, and Subaru and his true sworn brotherhood?

The epic showdown between Saionji Sekai and Ryugu Rena is definitely something to look forward to!

They could even drag the original author out and have Kishimoto and Oda fight it out, thus completely ending cross-disciplinary debates!

If fans still don't appreciate this much, they'll be ungrateful.

With the overwhelming and powerful propaganda campaign, which has even led some to suspect state support, the news is now known to the general public, even those who aren't enthusiasts.

Of course, the most astonished were the companies in the industry that held the copyrights to the works. They had never imagined that their shareholders would so easily succumb to government pressure, unconditionally open up their IP, and even pass through the Ministry of Justice's numerous hurdles at lightning speed.

It's important to understand that IPs like Ultraman, Pokémon, Nintendo, and Gundam often have multiple entanglements due to historical reasons. Although many characters belong to the company, they can't just use them whenever they want, especially when there are collaborations with other works, which can be extremely troublesome.

—The rivalries and grudges between Marvel, DC, Disney, Warner Bros., etc., are enough to make ten movies on their own.

The most unbelievable thing is that not only the Japanese companies, but also the American companies were willing to cooperate (Japanese and American companies had a lot of bad debts in the last century), and the plan went surprisingly smoothly, which is completely contrary to the efficiency of the two governments!

"With such a high level of discussion even before it officially begins, it seems we can look forward to the grand scene on the final stage."

Matsubara Takashi was in a very good mood, enjoying his hot coffee, basking in the warm afternoon sunlight, and listening quietly to the soothing music playing in the shop, completely relaxing.

Today marks the end of all work and the start of the next phase. The specific preparatory work has been handed over to the government, represented by Kikuchi, while creators like him are now completely free—of course, there's still a series of tasks waiting to be done, so this is a bit of leisure amidst the busyness.

He, Hideki Kubo, illustrator Ms. Marianne, and several colleagues they had invited came out to relax and exchange ideas during their free time.

Meanwhile, Meteora, Iori, and the others finally had some time to relax. They should be out having fun somewhere in the commercial district with El and Ceresia.

"...These past few days, there have been more people dressed in strange clothes on the streets."

A short-haired woman wearing a knitted cardigan and jacket, looking somewhat颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a sense of decadence or listlessness) yet quite capable, ignored the store's signs and lit a cigarette, puffing away as if no one else was around.

She is the author of the comic book CodeBabylon, the creator of "Blitzcrank". She has a rather easygoing personality, but occasionally reveals a rather self-centered side, especially when discussing her work.

There are many kinds of creative works. Some authors are gifted, while others are based on accumulation and calculation. This person belongs to the former... Such people often have the same problem, which is that they will not compromise on "aesthetics".

CodeBabylon is of quite good quality, but its theme is a heavy story set in a cyberpunk world, which is depressing and dark. The protagonist is not a hot-blooded teenager. To be honest, it should be classified as a "seinen manga". Its sales can only be described as above average.

If she were willing to compromise a little and make the comic style more suitable for the general public, her revenue would probably increase significantly.

This time, although she was forcibly brought in to participate in the collaborative creation, she herself is not very sociable. Kubo invited everyone out this time in order to build relationships.

"After all, it's a subculture storm. Young people who are infected have all taken action. Even outside of Akihabara, cosplay is everywhere."

"It'll become more and more common in the future... Hmph, if this continues, if another character is summoned, you won't be able to tell them out in a crowd."

"Hehe... I hope everything goes well."

Takashi Matsubara raised his glass: "Isn't it wonderful that people like us have the opportunity to protect the world?"

"That's right..."

"cheers!"

"For the world!"

"...and for our own lives."

"Some manga artist Okamoto XX, who wished to remain anonymous, said in a weak, low voice."

At the nearby table, many people shared a similar sentiment...

……

"...Three days ago, traces of activity of an unknown mechanical construct were discovered in Shinjuku."

Kikuchihara stood in the conference room, introducing the latest intelligence she had gathered to Iori and the others.

"No relevant video footage was left, but it can be determined that it is not a humanoid mecha like Mr. El's Phantom Knight, but seems to be more 'beast-like'."

"Oh? It's similar to my [Ferguson Knight], interesting."

Ceresia, dressed in modern casual clothes, laughed nonchalantly: "But if it comes to a fight, I believe my 'knight' will not lose to any mecha... Hey, when will my partner finally recover?"

The red-haired female swordsman asked her creator bluntly, "Didn't you say we could summon him again soon?"

Matsubara Takashi adjusted his glasses and sighed, "It's not that easy. It's one thing to summon people and machines all at once like El did."

Trying to summon a mech again in this real world is no easy feat, especially considering you'll need to upgrade its equipment… Honestly, I've already tried, it's impossible. I'm afraid the only way to succeed is through a loophole on the final stage.”

"Ugh?"

Celestia looked quite disappointed.

Although she can also fight with a longsword, her own body isn't particularly powerful; she mainly relies on the [Vogel Knight] for combat. However, before she transmigrated, the mecha she was piloting had already been destroyed by the Princess in Military Uniform.

However, summoning another one is not so easy.

"Well, let's put the Ceresia mecha aside for now. Ms. Kikuchihara, has there been no news about that structural mecha since the first sighting?"

Meteora asked Kikuchihara this question.

Dressed as a professional woman, Kikuchi Hara nodded and said, "Yes, we also sent people to search the surrounding area after that, and concluded that the other party had gone into hiding, or perhaps..."

"The military princess's side found it first."

Iori said softly, "The enemy's fighting strength has increased again."

"It seems we need to increase our membership, otherwise the imbalance will be apparent to the audience."

The most important thing in a collaborative event is to avoid favoritism, especially by not praising one while belittling another. Ideally, everyone should have a moment to shine!

Those who praise one while belittling another usually reap what they sow.

"Yes, I do... I was originally planning to introduce you all."

Kikuchi hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a character who was summoned to reality yesterday, and we found it ahead of time this time."

It's quite absurd that the girl didn't know she had traveled through time. She thought she was just lost, so she asked the police for directions. After being recognized (Japan truly lives up to its reputation as a nation of otaku), she reported the situation to her superiors and was then sent to the operations headquarters.

Looking at this person who seemed like an excellent student and a well-behaved child, the police and civil servants felt that they shouldn't put her on the cruel battlefield.

Because this character has no fighting ability whatsoever, and could even be described as weaker than a normal person—she is the protagonist of a bishoujo game!

Yes, it's a bishoujo game (beautiful girl game), a normal school romance, not one of those gimmicky games that's all hype and no substance. It actually contains legitimate 18+ content...

The work she comes from is undoubtedly an everyday worldview that has nothing to do with magic or monsters.

Therefore, she has no special abilities. Her only finishing move is to fall flat on her face and expose her panties to attract the enemy's attention—in this era, it's hard to even call it fanservice.

She was of no use on the battlefield, and was still somewhat confused about the situation. After being introduced to the situation and taken to the meeting room, she sat in the corner, feeling a little shy and timid.

"Hello, I am Iori, one of your companions who also came from another world."

"Um... hello."

This is a cute girl who looks like some kind of small animal.

With her dark blue hair and emerald eyes, and two small tufts of hair slightly parted outwards, she looked playful and cute. She was wearing a school uniform, and overall, she was a typical beautiful girl who could evoke a protective instinct in people.

However, judging from her petite and frail body and her lack of any imposing presence, it's really impossible to expect her to participate in the battle.

By the way, her second character setting is "an ordinary Japanese high school student"—which makes Iori suspect that she might have some hidden strength.

Iori spoke to her gently for a while, reiterating Meteora's previous explanation and assuring her that she wouldn't be forced to go to the battlefield. This calmed the high school girl down a bit, and she was able to communicate normally with people again.

"Thank you... My name is Saya, Niozaka Saya."

The endearing young girl wore a faint smile, and for some reason, there was a pitiful air about her as a heartless beauty... subtle.

and many more!

"You said your name is... Saya, Niozaka Saya?"

Iori blinked and suddenly realized that the girl looked quite familiar.

"Yes, nice to meet you... please take care of me..."

The girl said with some worry, "I was with my brother before, and then I suddenly came to this world. I'm worried about whether he came with me... Could you please help me find him? He took my mother's maiden name and is called 'Tono Shiki'."

Iori's eyelids twitched, and she turned her head: "No... Kikuchi, are you sure it's a slice-of-life work?"

What an amazing name! It sounds like someone who's perfect for being a murderer!

Chapter 466 Dance freely before me!

"No, I will stop you eventually. This beautiful world will not end here."

On the desolate city streets, Meteora opened her eyes: "Let's see who can achieve their goal, Altair!"

As the camera zooms out, Ceresia, El, Iori, and others are reflected in different lights and shadows, lined up behind her.

The scene shifts instantly, and above the concrete jungle, the towering skyscrapers are half-destroyed, creating an atmosphere of apocalypse.

What shines in the sky now is a dim sun and a white night dotted with stars.

Beneath the wondrous sky, a delicate hexahedron, resembling a die, radiates a flowing, liquid-like golden light, like a star slowly rotating.

"What on earth is that?"

Dressed in a school uniform, Saya gazed at the crystal and murmured, "Everyone did this for..."

"That is the Golden Star Cup, the Cauldron of Calamity, an object that can grant any wish."
