The sky was red, as bright red as blood. In the black mud rain, the dark sun dominates the sky.

Everywhere the black sludge that rolled like the sea was a huge mountain of dried corpses that were sinking into the sea.

If there is one word to use as a metaphor, it is ...... If not hell, where can it be?

When Mu Xiu was in that state of confusion, half-asleep and half-awake, I don't know how long it took, and finally slowly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was such a picture of hell.

“……”

However, he just looked at the surrounding mountains of corpses and blood very calmly for a while, then lowered his head and raised his two arms, looked at them carefully for a while, and then pinched his chin strangely.

Because he found that his current self was no longer a form of existence as a Servant, nor did it seem to be a pure soul body, but a form of existence that seemed to have regained a solid body.

But what the hell is going on? Did he really regain his body because of the black mud, or was he pulled into the world of spiritual illusion in the process of absorbing all the evils of this world without limitation?

Those strange sounds, endless malice, seem to have disappeared at this moment. Although the surroundings are hell-like scenes, except for the disgusting and bloody ones, there are actually no big problems.

However, this does not seem to be a good change.

It's just that before Mu Xiu could think about it carefully, then he heard a very soft voice sounding in the direction not far away-

"I knew you were coming. I'm sure if it were you, you'd be able to get here. ”

Mu Xiu looked up, and on the mountain of corpses opposite, there was a woman in a black dress. She...... It had a face that was too beautiful and neat to look like a doll, red pupils like rubies, and long silver hair that shone like snow.

Alice Phil von Einzberen, at least in appearance, was the face of a noble lady.

Of course, its very existence is certainly not the real Alice Phil. Rather, it is supposed to be Angora Manuel who holds the remnants of Alice Phil von Einzberen's personality in the Great Grail, thus forming Avenger.

Mu Xiu, who had a flash of realization in his heart, raised his head and glanced at the black sun in the sky.

That black vortex is the center of the world, a "hole" in the sky. The unfathomable darkness inside, the density seems to be able to crush everything.

"This is the place where your wishes will come true, inside the Grail."

Seeing Mu Xiu's actions, "Alice Field" smiled more and more gently and lovingly, a faint brilliance flashed in her eyes, and then she stretched out her hand to the black vortex in the sky and said.

Then just pray. Depending on the wish entrusted to it, it can change its appearance accordingly. Only then can it acquire the posture and shape of the present world, and then it can appear in the "outer world". ”

Its voice is very gentle, but there is no denying that there is a hint of demagogy in it.

“……”

Mu Xiu raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard that. He only cared about what kind of place this was, and as for what the other party said later, he just thought he hadn't heard it.

After all, as long as a person is mentally normal, he will not think that "hole" is a good thing, and that black Tai** is the ultimate symbol of the world.

Making a wish directly to such a thing is no different from killing yourself.

"What's the matter, don't you want to fulfill your wishes? Just pray, and the desires you have been pursuing will be easily fulfilled. ”

"Alice Field" smiled indifferently, the smile was very abnormal, although it was urging, but it was still not impatient, as if she had concluded that sooner or later she would get what she wanted.

"Alright, hurry up and pray. Hurry up and give it a "gesture", only you are worthy of the person who defines its form. ”

“……”

“……”

Mu Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, but slowly showed a fairly pure smile: "...... Who are you? ”

"You have a keen sense...... Yes, I don't deny that it's just a mask. If I don't borrow a "shell" that already has a personality, I can't communicate with others. I only pretended to be the way I am to convey my wishes. ”

After being silent for a long time, the woman in the black dress seemed to smile a little lonely-

But what does that have to do with you? To you, I am nothing more than the consciousness of the Holy Grail, you just need to make a wish, and in exchange I grant it for you, it's as simple as that. ”

"Is there such a thing as consciousness in the Holy Grail itself, which is only pure power?"

Mu Xiu seemed to be quite unconvinced, shook his head and said.

In the form of Alice Phil, it blinked, as if in a somewhat sly manner, "It may have been like this before, but now it's different." I have consciousness and a desire, and my wish is to "hope to be born in this world." I only pretended to be the way I am to convey my wishes. ”

Then, it seemed to be very happy and clapped its hands, and of course added:

"It's true that I wasn't aware of my own existence, but the personality I possess of Alice Fell is also genuine, because I was the last person I came into contact with before she disappeared."

Quite simply, Alice Phil, as the "Vessel of the Holy Grail", gave birth to the Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail fixed the "hole" leading to the outer part of the world, and all the evils of this world overflowed from the other side of the "hole" and filled the Holy Grail.

Originally, it was not allowed to have an independent personality, but it absorbed Alice Field's personality, spirit, and memory, and then was endowed with intellect and action, so it naturally appeared in front of Mu Xiu as it is now.

"Sounds reasonable, but now that you have consciousness, how are you going to grant my wish?"

Mu Xiu nodded, as if asking with some uncertainty.

As if in a difficult situation, Alice Fell tilted her head slightly, and replied in a low voice, "This is a question—you should know better than anyone else, don't you?" ”

"What do you mean?" The boy raised an eyebrow.

"Because your being itself is infinitely close to the Holy Grail, you can remain rational even if you communicate with me as you do now. If you were an ordinary human, you would have a mental breakdown when you were touched by that mud. ”

It spits out words cheerfully and happily.

“……”

“……”

There was silence again.

“…… That's right! Mu Xiu seemed to have finally determined something, nodded, and then asked again, as if intentionally or unintentionally, "Then who are you?" ”

"Huh? Do you want me to say it again? Alice Phil sighed helplessly at each other's answers, and was about to say something.

"You don't want to say it's actually okay, because I already know it...... Angola Manuel. Mu Xiu said softly with an inexplicable strange smile.

“……”

“……”

Alice Phil's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes, and after a moment her voice became hoarse: "So you know, yes, I am the nameless heroic ...... who was given the name Angola Manuel"

"It's been this time, do you still think that I am a person who only understands part of the matter, and I can be easily deceived?"

Mu Xiu interrupted its words unceremoniously, sneered and said to the point-

"Although it is the advent of one of the spirits, and the form of existence is only borrowed from the existence of the human pillar that was once sacrificed, but the main body is undoubtedly the real demon god......

Angora Manuel, the oldest evil, because the name comes from Zoroastrianism, commonly known as Zoroastrianism, and is the supreme god of the evil world, the Maharaja of Darkness and Death, who has a constant struggle against Ahura Mazda.

It is the absolute evil, the sum of the evil in the world.

However, as the "Demon God", Angora Manuel cannot be summoned by the Holy Grail, and Angora Manuel, who appeared in the Holy Grail War, is an ordinary young man in the village of Zoroastrians, who has been falsely labeled as "all the evil in this world".

Ordinary people who are expected to bear the sins of the world are heroes created not by themselves, but by the desires of those around them. It was originally a powerless thing, but made up of the thoughts of the people around it, and it could not exist.

But - this is the original plot that takes place in a closed world without the intervention of reincarnation.

As for now, this plane that should have been closed has bordered the infinite world, and the continuous world "perforation" and the flow of all the evils in this world are a bit over-spec.

Therefore, through the additional information he had, Mu Xiu was almost completely sure that the Angora Manuel in front of him was not the nameless heroic spirit in the original book. Rather, the real demon god was attracted and set his sights on this plane.

After all, the Servant system, which uses the concept of the past to summon on behalf of the entry ranks, can be called the top exception.

Therefore, with the existing human pillars and concepts as symbolic meanings, and all the evils in this world as the channel of faith, the real evil demon god can indeed do things like Mu Xiu.

It is also one of the bestowed spirits, descending in the form of a Servant.

Moreover, based on the other party's drastic change in expression, it was obvious that Mu Xiu seemed to be right.

"You know too much......"

Slowly retracted that earnest expression, as if it was showing pity to the young man who was forcing him to ask the truth: "It's just that why do you take the initiative to tell this matter......

The surroundings suddenly shook violently, as if the whole world was unstable, and the mountain of corpses and black mud suddenly disappeared. After the earth-shaking changes, the world has become a vast and boundless smooth plane, and the ground level stretches into the infinite distance, with no end in sight.

Only the black sun still hung high in the sky.

Although the woman in the black dress still existed at the same time, as if there was no change, but the "it" that appeared in Mu Xiu's eyes had been revealed in its original form and had become an incredibly terrifying thing.

It was the existence behind Alice Phil's shell, and it was an incomparably large whole. At a glance, what Mu Xiu saw was complete chaos, and all the malice in the world was surging and tumbling.

Because Persian mythology is known for its duality, it always represents opposing forces in the universe, such as good and evil, light and dark. Therefore, in the dualistic world of good and evil, there is only Angora Manuel where evil exists.

And because since He is evil, then no one other than Him can be anything other than good.

He is all the evil of this world.

This is no longer the evil of human nature such as gluttony, lust, greed, rage, laziness, sorrow, conceit, or arrogance, but the strange and indescribable evil of the world, the amorphous darkness and chaos that flows through the universe.

"When you are looking at the abyss, the abyss is watching you."

"Alice Field" said, and it smiled extremely maliciously.

"It's great that you didn't go crazy directly, but unfortunately, you're just a mortal after all...... Uh, how is that possible?! ”

The boy on the other side of it also smiled inexplicably complicated, and although he didn't know what he was thinking, he seemed relieved in his eyes, at least in his eyes.

"—Who told you that I'm just a mortal?"
