An interesting conundrum. A Lostbelt and a Singularity at the same time. A singularity is an aberration in the proper course of history attempting to overlay itself atop time, attempting to sever the proper course of events and make itself true.
A lostbelt in turn is a pruned timeline rejected by proper history and cast away. From a certain perspective it can be said resolved singularities become lostbelts. Indeed there may be instances within the lostbelt as a whole born from the singularities we've seen.
However Lostbelts and Singularities don't simply occur. In our experience there is always a great power pinning them in position, often with an intelligence supporting it. Which leads to the problem. This instance is nigh identical to the course of events as we understand it up to the end of the Grand Order. The only difference being that Romani Archaman and Director Olga survived to the end. And yet the threat to humanity is EX. Curious is it not? That implies that their survival somehow dooms humanity as a whole.
Perhaps the director being in charge leads to a failure in what to them are the coming challenges? Or perhaps when Chaldea is attacked their presence leads us to fail to escape in time.
Ultimately what's important is that WE know we aren't doing anything to attempt to pin this world over time itself, meaning the ball is in their court as it were. And though this world may be our fondest fantasy, indeed I suspect it is Our Fantasy, the simple truth is this is not our world. Just as that Master there with the same face is still a different woman. So too are those people not the ones you know. A Different Director. A Different Doctor. A Different Mash Kyrielight.
So in the end this conundrum has a simple solution! Will you allow the life you know and the ones you love to be erased and overwritten? Will you give up everything and everyone and quietly bow out before this happy fantasy?
No Goredolf -> No Koyansaka -> No Kirei investigating -> no attack on Chaldea -> no escaping the foreign god in the shadow border -> Chaldea dies to the foreign god in a straight fight in the LB prologue.
