Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia

After the Camelot arc proves successful, Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash Kyrielight are pulled into the Grand Order's final Singularity, a hop back to ancient Mesopotamia. They arrive in Uruk around 2500 BCE and learn the city faces an ominous threat from three enigmatic gods who act under Gilgamesh's orders. The two must shield humanity from invading beasts while they probe the motives behind the gods actions, all without tipping their own timeline off balance. As clues accumulate, a long dormant force begins to stir beyond the known world, suggesting that these events are part of something far bigger. The weight of duty, fate, and friendship tests every choice they make.
