[Crossover] The Ilyssia Conjecture

It was a journey of salvation beyond the power of words to describe.

O soul adrift from another world,

in the end, will you still arrive at the ending that belongs to you alone...?

There is nowhere left for him in his original world. Once, he destroyed the things rejected by Pan-Human History; in the end, he too became one of the rejected.

Where should he go now? Where does he belong?

The Beast of the End opened his eyes and stared blankly at the currents sweeping along parallel worlds.

"There will be a place where you belong. We all believe that."

"...Kind Master, keep moving forward."

"We will always be by your side."

"So set your sights on the distant horizon and take a step forward!"

And so, following the call of its instincts, the ship carrying the Beast of the End set sail once more.

A future that belongs to him must lie ahead...

Fujimaru Ritsuka opened his eyes somewhere, taking in the air of a new world, filled with the joy of being welcomed.

He believed that what came next would surely be a brand-new life of his own.

He failed to notice the pentagram-shaped pendant lying quietly beside him.

And the peaceful life he hoped for was already beyond his reach.

Ritsuka: "I get it, but why does someone show up and immediately shout, 'Hades, are you trying to destroy the world again?' Then they charge at me screaming about Athena, love, and justice for the Earth?!"
