Lostbelt 2: E Pluribus Unum
A land of gods where freedom is a myth, until the Heroic Spirit arrives to challenge destiny.
Lostbelt No.2: E Pluribus Unum is a pivotal arc in the Fate Grand Order storyline where Chaldea's Counter Force dispatches a team to investigate an alternate history of North America. This timeline diverged from the standard course, resulting in a continent never unified by the United States but instead dominated by a pantheon of divine entities and their chosen champions. The region is known as the 'Lostbelt' because it was scheduled for erasure by the Alien God's system to preserve the main human history.

Lore & Background
The central figure of this Lostbelt is a version of Leonardo da Vinci who has ascended to godhood, ruling as the 'Goddess of the New World.' She maintains a fragile peace among the warring pantheons while secretly preparing for the inevitable erasure of her world. The arc explores themes of what it means to be human in a world where gods walk openly and dictate fate. It contrasts the rigid hierarchy of divine rule with the chaotic, messy, but beautiful freedom that defines true humanity.
In Their Own Story
The sky above the ruins of New York is not blue, but a swirling tapestry of golden clouds, illuminated by the gaze of a thousand eyes. A lone traveler walks through streets paved with marble and lined with statues of impossible scale, where the air hums with the static of divine power. There are no cars, only chariots pulled by winged beasts; there are no voices of debate, only the chanting of hymns to kings who never die. Yet, amidst the grandeur, a single flower grows from a crack in the pavement, defiant and small, waiting for someone to notice it.
Reader's Guide
The journey begins with Ritsuka Fujimaru and their servant arriving in a world where the American Revolution was hijacked by Greek gods. The team initially struggles against the overwhelming power of the divine rulers who control the continent's resources and military might. As they travel, they encounter a resistance group led by a human version of Da Vinci, who reveals that the Lostbelt is destined for erasure. The conflict escalates as the gods realize their existence threatens the main timeline, leading to a war between the divine pantheon and the forces of Chaldea. The climax involves a confrontation with the ascended Da Vinci and Zeus, forcing the protagonist to choose between saving this world or allowing it to be erased for the sake of humanity's future. Ultimately, the Lostbelt is pruned, but its legacy remains in the memories of those who fought there, reinforcing the value of human freedom.
