Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Transformation of the Heart: A Power of One's Own

"I'm in trouble......"
The corners of Charlotte's mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but sigh and look at Artoria, who was fighting against Joan of Arc, and her cold expression could not be maintained.
She suddenly felt that this seemed to be a "coincidence", because her magic power could no longer contract Artoria into her name, so she did not use Medea's treasure to break the contract between the other party and Emiya Kiritsugu.
Now the question arises -
The other party still belongs to the Servant of Emiya Kiritsugu, and the latter seems to have two spells......
It was precisely because of this thought that Charlotte was so decisively ready to kill Emiya Kiritsugu, but she suddenly found that it would be difficult to directly solve the other party unless she used a large-scale group attack that did not distinguish between the enemy and me.
It's just that the result is only worse.
Subconsciously, Charlotte glanced back at the Holy Grail in the sky, and the black mud was still dripping down to this day.
“……”
Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to be attracted by this blow, and he was walking in the city of blood and fire as he was walking in the city of blood and fire, but at this time, he finally noticed something like that, and raised his head to look in the direction of this side.
The golden light shone in the black night sky, but the black mud continued to drip down on it, and the Red Lotus Hell evolved from it.
The screams of the wind, the dancing tongues of fire, the charred human remains—this is the scene of everything collapsing.
Compared with before, the black mud has long been limited to the range of those few blocks, but has turned into black waves and spread rapidly. The blazing Red Lotus Karma Fire had already engulfed one-third of Fuyuki City, and in just a few minutes.
Joan of Arc and the Knight King Artoria are actually fighting and retreating, otherwise they will be in danger of being swallowed up by the black mud. Charlotte is also on the premise of controlling her body as much as possible, away from the turbulent area of black mud.
It's just that the damage she caused along the way was no less than the damage that the scorching cursed Red Lotus Fire brought to the city.
It's just that because the black mud followed closely behind, the streets and ground that were trampled and shattered by this silver-haired and black-dressed Lori were naturally submerged.
At least not the slightest trace of it can be seen.
It's just that in such a short period of time, the black mud that has already engulfed one-third of Fuyuki City is definitely not the same order of magnitude compared to the whole of the Holy Grail.
If all of them are released, what kind of hell will they show in this world?
I'm just afraid that I can really burn people down.
Emiya Kiritsugu, a man who is more idealistic than anyone else, but is desperate because of this, stared blankly at the Red Lotus Hell in front of him. His lips squirmed a few times, and tears welled up in his eyes in an instant.
After giving it all up, he finally saw the Holy Grail he was seeking.
But、But...... Why is this kind of?
Unable to restrain his feelings that had reached the boiling point, he laughed desperately, and a burst of chaotic thoughts suddenly emerged from his mind.
Slowly, he bit his lip and with a ghost-like empty gaze, Emiya Kiritsugu raised his trembling right hand, revealing the spell engraved on the back of his hand.
This kind of thing...... It's definitely not a one-size-fits-all wishing machine!
Rather, it is the necessary evil that curses humanity and perpetuates the distance, and now it has been unleashed!
……
……
Artoria was in the midst of a battle with the Holy Maiden of Orleans, and it was a real bitter battle, obviously her superior melee confrontation, but she was not able to gain the upper hand and quickly end the battle.
The reason for this is probably because she has gone through a series of bitter battles with Dilumudo and Lancelot, and has consumed too much magic and spirit. What's more, just now she endured a "divine verdict" from the Holy Maiden of Orleans.
It was only with her A-rank magic power that Artoria was able to neutralize the mandatory orders from the Spell.
And Joan of Arc seems to be the first time to exercise the power of the Ruler, and he has never met a Servant who can resist the Command Spell hard, so he was stunned for a while, and did not seize the opportunity to use the Second Command Spell to make up the knife.
Just as Artoria gritted her teeth, dragging her heavy and tired body, she was about to attack the Orleans saintess on the opposite side in one go.
"Use the Noble Phantasm and destroy the Holy Grail!"
The muffled words rang out from the depths of her soul, shaking her body. This voice, too familiar to be more familiar, was announcing the order clearly and resolutely.
"What ——!!"
Saber's mind went blank, but his body as a Servant had faithfully accepted the commands of the Command.
The whirlwind dispersed the flames around it, and from the center of the lifted Wind King's barrier, the outline of the golden sword that had been promised to win appeared. Then the sword began to intertwine its beams, completely ignoring the will of the sword-wielder.
Joan of Arc on the other side was also stunned at once, and looked at the scene in front of him with his mouth open.
“…… No...... No! ”
Artoria roared, screaming with all her might. With such an angry roar, the golden sword raised high in her hand suddenly stopped in midair.
As the legendary Knight King and the Servant of the highest rank, she possesses an A-rank pair of magic that can barely resist the confinement of the Command, and now she is using all her strength to stop herself from swinging her sword.
Power and inhibition, two opposing forces collided fiercely in the girl's body, and her slender body seemed to be torn apart at any time. No, it had been torn apart, and one after another wounds burst open, and bright blood flowers bloomed everywhere on the knight girl's body.
She had just fought against a spell, and now she had another one, and her body had reached its true limit, and it could destroy itself at any time.
However, Emiya Kiritsugu has already issued a second command spell to repeat the strengthening order.
"Stop!!"
Seeing that her last hope was about to be wiped out in an instant by her sword, Artoria screamed with tears in her eyes.
However, there was no way to continue the fight, and the immense coercive power of the Double Command Spell ravaged and crushed her body, and at the same time drew all the remaining magic from her body and incorporated it into the light of destruction.
The light is rushing.
The light is roaring.
The magic frees itself from its bondage and turns into a flash of light. The rushing stream that erupted from the thin erupted swept up countless whirlpools. Evaporate all the black mud in front of you and hit the golden chalice in the sky!
It was as if the invisible hand of a giant swept across the earth, a straight path was opened, and the raging black waves were cut through the middle, and the golden chalice, which had once belonged to Alice Phil's body, also quietly lost its form in the scorching heat of the flash, and then disappeared.
Then, through the rubble and debris of countless buildings that were blown into the sky, anyone present saw "it" in the exposed night sky.
The black sun is a symbol of the end of this world.
Its entity is actually a real "hole".
In the original plot, after the formation of the Holy Grail, there were only two servants left, so the existence of the "hole" did not last too long, and all the evil in this world did not flow forever.
After the "hole" was closed, most of the black mud was naturally isolated from the world.
This is because the essence of the Holy Grail War is just a grand magic ceremony, and the fighting spirit of the Servants and the Masters is nothing more than the Holy Grail War as seen on the surface.
In fact, from the function and design of the Holy Grail, we can see the most fundamental and original purpose of the Holy Grail War - why do we need the soul of the Servant to be able to bring the Holy Grail into this world?
Because the Servant comes from the "outside" of the world, for the Immortals, it is the so-called Throne of the Immortals. When these powerful souls retire from the Holy Grail War and return to Valhalla, they create a "perforation" of the world, creating a passage to the outer side of the world.
- At the same time, in order to stabilize this channel, it is necessary to use the "stabilizer" of the Little Holy Grail.
By opening the "hole" that connects the outer part of the world, the magic from the outside will flow through, which is a by-product of the Holy Grail War, and the magic power is almost infinite.
And for magicians, "almost infinite magic" can almost be equated with "all wishes come true", which is why the Holy Grail is a "wishing machine".
That is to say-
The Holy Grail in the Holy Grail War is really just a by-product, but a cover for the ultimate goal of "reaching the root".
It's just that none of this really matters, what matters is that the Servant's exit and the return of the soul can cause things like "perforations" in the world. The "holes" that were supposed to close automatically were now more than double the number of servants, but they are completely different.
Every once in a while, Servant withdraws, resulting in the "hole" never being closed, and it seems to continue to expand.
Compared to the original book, this is simply a cheat, just look at the speed at which the black mud falls and spreads, if the final victory and defeat have not been decided before dawn, and this Holy Grail War will be ended.
The black mud that flowed into the present world during this period may not have the power to truly destroy the whole world, but at least this island nation in the Far East and the surrounding countries may be burned, so it is no wonder that Alaya will take action-
If it's just a small fight like the original book, how can the inhibition force have the time to manage these trivial things?
……
……
"Sure enough, it's still like this......"
Muttering softly, looking at the malicious rolling black world around him, Mu Xiu let out a long sigh.
I don't know how much time has passed, maybe just a few minutes, or a century has passed, after all, the meaning of time and space here is very confused.
But time is definitely running out, and I can't see any hope at all, it seems...... Already failed?
Everything is already irretrievable?
Only the golden soul remained, but a smile reappeared on Mu Xiu's face.
Immediately after that, Avalon's guardian power was silently sealed away by him.
The black mud that had been isolated before instantly swept in with a hundredfold malice, completely engulfing him.
The strange sound hit like a tidal wave, Mu Xiu took the initiative to extinguish the brilliance of divinity, allowing countless malices to pollute him, and the heavy black magic power was superimposed, and soon his soul was dyed absolutely black.
"If you can't find it in it, drain it all!"
And so—
Hatred, sorrow, pain, loneliness, helplessness, despair, resentment, anger...... And so on, the black malicious magic that was so thick that it was like silt eroded Mu Xiu's mind to the fullest.
However, after he took the initiative to extract endless malicious magic, the situation slowly became a little wrong.
Perhaps it should be said that the extremes of things must be opposed, and after the fury and chaos have reached the ultimate end, it is crazy calmness and empty extreme reason.
Although a flash of collapse and emptiness flashed in the young man's eyes, it was enough to prove that he still retained his complete intellect and absolute self at this moment.
The throbbing that came from the depths of his soul gave him a sudden enlightenment.
Fake, all fake.
The light of his soul is actually not his own, because he has no obsession and no comprehension, and even his past memories and lives are forged memories, how can there be the possibility of so easily personalizing the light of his soul?
The uncontrollable light of the mind, and its strange properties, have already been revealed, and it can only be the remnants of its own "primordial personality".
But what Mu Xiu needs is not this kind of legacy from others.
If he wants to get out of the current predicament, what he needs is the "Tao" forged by unconfused faith, and the indestructible spiritual will that truly belongs to him, which is enough to carry the hearts of the whole world!
