If completing this ritual is truly all we need to do to resolve the Singularity, that would greatly lower the risk to Senpai.

The idea is to carve magical energy directly into the ground by running across the Singularity.
 |

[k]
 |

 |

@Ishtar

But that's so boring that nobody would ever want to watch it, right? So I thought about it and came up with the brilliant idea of making the ritual a race!

The way I see it, every goddess needs composure and a bit of playfulness. That's why this is going to be a major, Chaldea-wide event...
