Inventory of The Famous Scene: Starting from Emiya-Chapter 390 - 376: The Axis Cult’s Heaven-Defying Doctrines! #Season 2 Finale
〜OVERLORD World〜
"Oh, does Kazuma want to change his class to Undead? It’s just that his skeleton is a bit small,"
Ainz said leisurely, sitting upon his throne.
He was just making a joke; after all, he knew that the idiot goddess had maxed out her resurrection skills. Even if he turned to ash, she could resurrect him perfectly.
He was simply shocked by Kazuma’s actions. After all, Kazuma was just an ordinary high school student before this. It was truly somewhat hard to believe that he possessed such boldness.
Demiurge, whose focus was elsewhere, appeared somewhat shocked:
"Miss Megumin’s Explosion Magic has gotten stronger again! How much time has actually passed?"
That massive mushroom cloud provided a sufficient sense of shock, and this wasn’t even Megumin’s limit.
If she kept adding points like this, he was now somewhat curious about just how far Megumin, who specialized in a single type of magic, could go... I wondered if destroying a country with a wave of her hand could be achieved.
〜Sword Art Online World〜
Hearing Kazuma’s cool speech, Kirito rolled his eyes helplessly:
"So you also know that the game world’s balance has a problem..."
You didn’t even look at your level stats; at that low level, you’re fighting a General! Can you win? You’re guaranteed to die, brother! This is already the fourth time you’ve died.
And if you count Wiz, you, a Hero who hasn’t even left the starter village, have actually subjugated four Demon King Generals.
You even managed to kill a Demon King’s Army General while out on vacation. Would you call that a coincidence? It would be strange if the balance didn’t have PROBLEMS!!
Asuna was even more filled with amazement toward Kazuma:
"Just how strong is this person’s spirit?!"
If she remembered correctly, the Goddess Eris had said that ordinary people couldn’t endure multiple deaths. For someone like Kazuma, who had gotten used to dying, avoiding a mental breakdown up to this point was nothing short of a miracle!
.....
[ As the ice shattered, a slime, now shrunk to a fraction of its original size, drilled its way out from within. Such a powerful attack still wasn’t enough to take him down.
"Still not enough. I can eat you all immediately to recover!"
Just at this moment, the shouts of cultists came from behind. The slime turned his head to look, only to see Aqua raising her fist with a gloomy face.
"GOD BLOW—!!"
In just a split second, the fist, shimmering with divine light, smashed heavily onto the slime’s body, and a dazzling golden light rose from the land!
"I thought it was something special. This level of attack can’t defeat me, you trash Archpriest~" After tanking the punch with his body, the slime began to mock her.
Right at that moment, the Axis Cultists behind them gathered together. With only firm faith in their eyes, they began to chant their doctrine in unison!
"Axis Cultists can get it done if they try! Even if you can’t complete it smoothly, it is not your fault! If you can’t complete it smoothly, it is the world’s fault!"
"If you encounter unhappy things, just run away! Running away is not failure; there is a saying that running away is victory!"
"Regarding the choice made after being lost until the very end: since you will regret whichever you choose, you might as well choose the one that makes you happy right now!"
The slime looked at the light of faith shimmering from the believers behind Aqua and finally realized Aqua’s true identity!
"Polluting my lovely believers, and the cherished hot springs... this crime! You deserve to die ten thousand times."
Energy orbs formed from the believers’ willpower appeared around Aqua, gathering continuously, and more and more magic circles emerged alongside them.
The uncle who had once confessed in the church shouted out the spell Aqua had taught him at the top of his lungs: "Eris pads her CHEST!!!!"
"GOD REQUIEM—!" Aqua threw another punch.
The slime could not withstand the fist imbued with the believers’ willpower at all. Until he vanished, he spoke with hatred: "The damnable goddess they said they revered... I never thought it would actually be YOU!!!" ]

"Aqua has finally encountered a monster that takes damage from God Blow. It’s strange that the same attack can defeat a General, yet can’t defeat a giant frog."
"What kind of doctrine is this? It’s a cult! A total cult! But... is it too late to join now?"
Listening to the Axis Cult’s doctrine, the worldviews of people in other worlds began to collapse somewhat. What an outrageous doctrine. To put it in layman’s terms, it’s just... letting yourself go.
The wrong one isn’t me, it’s the world, right? A guy named Brother Kaneki has already taken the lead in traveling the world, and another old gourmet is already washing kelp.
They had never seen such a "rot-in-place" prayer in their lives. It felt like strange beliefs were increasing. Anyway, it doesn’t cost money, so you might as well believe a little.

〜Grand Blue Dreaming World〜
"If you put it that way, then I’m joining the cult."
Kitahara Iori heard this, put down the Oolong tea in his hand, and suddenly assumed a look of piety.
"What part of this doctrine attracted you?"
Chisa looked at Iori with eyes reserved for trash. She had heard the doctrine too... what kind of ridiculous spiritual victory method was that?
Iori revealed a hard-boiled art style face and struck the same pose as Commander Ikari:
"I’ve summarized the Axis Cult doctrine. In short, it is: be heartless and enjoy the moment."
Not for the sake of rotting away, but to enjoy the present more! Such a doctrine is simply...
"Simply too WONDERFUL!!"
Imai Kohei suddenly continued with an excited face, then high-fived Iori.
Iori looked as if it was just as he expected:
"I knew you would understand, partner!"
Unbeknownst to them, the look in Chisa’s eyes as she watched them had shifted from seeing trash to seeing dregs.
〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜
"Ha..."
Kamijou Touma looked at the screen with a twitching corner of his mouth. A cult. It’s totally a cult.
These doctrines are simply too ridiculous. Life is short, enjoy the moment, huh... No wonder this group of believers can have such firm faith.
It’s just a doctrine that sounds like solemn nonsense, so why did they have to add ’Goddess Eris pads her chest’ as the last sentence? That’s just your goddess slipping in her own private agenda, right?
Let the gentle and pitiful Goddess Eris off the hook! If she knew, she would definitely cry!
.....
[ Although they defeated the Demon King’s Army General, Kazuma and the others not only didn’t receive the town’s gratitude but were instead treated as criminals.
From the carriage traveling through the countryside came Aqua’s wailing: "I was just working hard to purify the polluted hot springs, why is everyone scolding me?"
They even had stones thrown at them by the believers when they left.
It turned out that under Aqua’s super-strong purification magic, all the hot springs in the town were successfully purified into ordinary hot water. The City of Water and Hot Springs, famous throughout the world for its springs, ceased to exist from then on.
The Demon King Army’s goal of cutting off the Axis Cult’s source of income was, in terms of results, achieved!
During the resurrection, Goddess Eris, who was in the death space, was startled by the skull-headed Kazuma sitting on the chair!
And Wiz was also affected by Aqua’s purification power; her figure became transparent, and Beldia’s phantom appeared beside her once again, calling out to Wiz: "Come over here, quickly!" ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Hahaha, in the end, Aqua is still that idiot goddess. Why don’t you guess why you’re being scolded? You cut off their livelihood."
Looking at the bewildered Aqua, everyone sighed with mental exhaustion. Fighting is one thing, but using her brain is completely impossible. Sure enough, it’s the other way around; Kazuma is the blessing to Aqua.
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜
"Did they forget the purpose of coming to the hot springs..."
Mash discovered a blind spot. How did a relaxing trip turn into something even more tiring!
Fujimaru Ritsuka also shook his head:
"Poor Wiz... accidentally injured by Aqua again, getting purified all the time."
It had to be said that this Dullahan, who had already been purified, was truly persistent! It was like he had taken up residence on the other side of the Sanzu River, always calling from the opposite bank for Wiz to hurry over.
Da Vinci also nodded silently:
"Wiz is truly pitiful. She came dizzy and went back dizzy."
Wiz lived up to being someone who walked on the edge of death, dying every day but never actually dying. Her main focus was just repeatedly jumping back and forth.
