"We're not here to be your enemies; we're here to help you," Alicetaria announced to everyone present. Korata, visibly thrilled by Alicetaria's statement, couldn't contain his excitement. "Welcome! A warm welcome!"
"Wait, aren't you worried they might be undercover agents?" Nakanogane whispered cautiously. Korata dismissed his concerns with a blank stare. "I understand the characters I create; Alicetaria isn't that kind of person!"
"Thank you for your trust, Creator," Alicetaria nodded gratefully before entering through the window alongside Mamika. With two additional combatants on their side, excitement rippled through the group, though Alicetaria and Mamika remained somewhat anxious, knowing Altair's formidable allies—Ainz and Alter Artoria—awaited.
"Altair has lost two allies this time. Now, our plan can officially commence," Alexander declared, glancing at Aki, who silently agreed.
"Indeed, all preliminary work is complete. We move forward with the plan. Tonight marks the beginning of the decisive battle," Aki added, her tone serious. Everyone else wore determined expressions, while Alexander remained calm; his focus lay on his comic's protagonist, confident the rest would unfold as scripted.
As night fell, thousands of fans flocked to the city's largest stadium—140,000 in total. This gathering of fervent two-dimensional enthusiasts was unprecedented, eclipsing even the sun in its spectacle.
Observing from the central control room, the team maintained composure, fully aware that failure tonight meant the end.
Unbeknownst to the casual fans, today's animated spectacle held the fate of the world in its narrative grip, yet they chattered on with excitement.
"Did you hear? Today's storyline links several anime together!"
"I know, Selesia! Kanoya! Yuya Mirokuji! Mamika! Alicetaria! What a lineup!"
"I'm Having trouble! My waifus are duking it out! Whose side are you on?"
"Hey! That's my waifu! Mamika and I are in this together!"
The audience buzzed with anticipation. Watching from above, Alexander shook his head in amusement. "Unexpectedly lively."
His gaze turned towards the stage. Suddenly, fireworks burst forth, painting the night sky in a brilliant display.
Clap, clap, clap!
Applause erupted, signalling the official start of this grand event.
"Alright, everyone! The World Restart Anniversary has officially begun!" Rumiko Takahashi's voice rang out, igniting further excitement among the attendees. Alexander smiled at the recognition, recalling Rumiko Takahashi's numerous works from the main world.
"Listen up, everyone! Are you ready?" Another figure emerged, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
Sora Amamiya! A second-generation fan's icon! Known for characters like Kirishima Touka from Tokyo Ghoul, Akame from Akame ga Kill, Elizabeth Liones from The Seven Deadly Sins, and more Amamiya's representative works.
As the two voice actors appeared, the stadium roared with energy. The creators, too, clenched their fists in determination.
The plan had officially begun!
