The earth cracked, dark twilight.
Tall buildings were destroyed everywhere, and the streets seemed to be trampled by terrifying giant creatures. Bloody severed limbs were scattered everywhere, and they weren't just human corpses.
Devils, Fallen Angels, Yōkai...
All were haphazardly impaled on the walls of tall buildings, looking horrifying, especially under the reflection of the remaining twilight, as if an unprecedented apocalyptic war had occurred.
"Apocalypse? What actually happened!"
"This has nothing to do with Johan, Kanzaki Hikaru, Yuji, and the others. Could this be a vision of the future?"
"More and more confusing."
"...Could it be that the war between gods and devils has started again, and the first-ranked Divine Artifact of the Divine Artifact List can project the future?"
"..."
Not a few Gods speculated, while humans became increasingly panicked. Could such a terrifying apocalyptic war break out in the future?
Don't even talk about ordinary people.
Even supernatural organizations like the Onmyō Agency, Onmyō Academy, Exorcists Group... all panicked and didn't know what to do. If the races of gods and devils really wanted to launch a great war, humans would definitely be the first victims.
This scene truly disturbed their thoughts.
As the memory records on the Divine Artifact List continued to pull back, even more terrifying scenes appeared.
On the horizon.
Countless corpses were visible. Corpses of Devils, Fallen Angels, Angels, Gods, humans... almost all corpses from all races in the world could be seen.
Truly corpses scattered everywhere, blood flowing like rivers!
Mountains of corpses piled into hills looked shocking.
What made the Gods unable to sit still was...
"How is this possible..."
"Could a new war between gods and devils have engulfed the entire world!"
"...What actually happened?!"
"..."
They actually saw their own corpses, like Zeus pierced by a spear, Odin who lost his head, the first generation Sun Wukong cut in two at the waist...
Too hard to believe!
The God Kings and main Gods from Pantheons who had gone through countless ages would die in a future war. This scene clearly made them difficult to accept.
"Whatever Divine Artifact occupies the top rank of the Divine Artifact List, is this scene real or false."
Odin looked at his own corpse, speaking very seriously.
While Thor beside him frowned, "It's not only projecting scenes of the future, but also projecting scenes of individual futures."
"What do you mean?!"
"In the scene I saw, there was a scene of my own future. Only Transcendents or special people should be able to see these fragments."
In the future scenes projected by the Divine Artifact List, he saw himself holding Mjolnir, crushing one of the True Ancestors of Vampires into powder. But he didn't remember there being such an unfamiliar Devil King-level True Ancestor in the Vampire domain.
Very strange.

India.
"Interesting, there's an anomaly in the future, or that timeline experienced changes. I just don't know if it will affect us now."
Shiva showed slight interest.
In the future scenes, he saw himself severely injured by a Dragon Race from who knows where. Although he later killed it, the strange Dragon Race that could severely injure him, especially the unpleasant aura on its body, made him very interested.
"Past, present, future!"
"This scene should be related to Emperor Shin. He might have truly traveled through time."
Brahma pondered.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Underworld.
"Devils, different from the Devils in this world!" Sirzechs murmured to himself.
Clearly, he also saw much content about himself from the Divine Artifact List's future scenes.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Kyoto.
Hagoromo Gitsune in a house with planted cherry blossom trees had an extremely disbelieving expression.
"Kanzaki Hikaru!!! How could I follow him..."
"Where is Seimei?!"
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Kuoh Academy.
"Ara ara, my future self seems to be involved in an inexplicable relationship with someone, and also with the President and the Student Council President!"
Akeno covered her mouth, showing a mischievous smile.
In the Divine Artifact List's future scenes, she saw herself, Rias, and Sona all surrounding one person, and their relationship with that person was very ambiguous.
"...Onee-sama!"
Koneko saw a different scene.
It was her appearance fighting side by side with her sister, Kuroka.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"Not only the past, but most of my present and future self is also missing in causality and time!"
Hikaru frowned.
He already had a rough idea about the top-ranked Divine Artifact of the Divine Artifact List. It was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations, but if it was true, then the Azure Slaughter Sword in his hand might be able to eliminate the word Prototype and fully become a The Other Side Realm Divine Artifact.
After the Divine Artifact List finished projecting the future scenes, it disappeared. Then, information about the top ranking appeared.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
[Rank 1st: ???]
[Owner: Kanzaki Hikaru]
[Owner's Race: Human]
[Introduction: Scene of Self-Fusion from Past, Present, and Future????]
[Ranking Reward: World Foundation Stone]
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
For the first time, an unprecedented first time. Even the Dimensional List couldn't concretize the information. What could be known was only the owner and an origin that even Transcendents didn't understand.
Scene of Self-Fusion from Past, Present, and Future.
Some Transcendents seemed to catch something in the confusion, but then they became confused again.
