In the space of the Vessel of the Grail, there are several souls sleeping here.

The brilliance of their souls shows their extraordinary identity.

That's right, it's the souls of the Heroic Spirits who sleep here, after all, this is the space of an area inside the Holy Grail.

There is, of course, one exception, that she is awake.

Seeing the newcomer, she said as if she had expected it: "You are here." ”

Li Amen nodded to her.

There were some things that Alice Phil didn't know much about at first, and even the process of making the Horcruxes was done with extra means, which made her forget about it afterwards.

However, the soul inside the Horcrux is different, she does not forget this forgetfulness like the main body, but is the one who remembers it most clearly.

Rather, the reason why the main body forgets to be clean is because this forgetting is completely reserved for the soul in the Horcrux.

Amen Lee also made a secret hand in the production of this Horcrux, so when Alice Phil incarnated the Holy Grail, when the soul of the Horcrux was also sucked into it, there were already more messages deliberately left by Amen Lee that Alice Phil received.

The one in front of me was not specifically noticed by the Holy Grail, and it was the soul of Alice Phil's other half. She is still herself, and she has not been robbed of her personality by the current will of the Holy Grail, "the evil of this world".

Then, when the evil of this world was killed by Emiya Kiritsugu in the manifestation of the personality, that part of the personality should actually have died, but it did not die at all.

This is the power of Horcruxes, as long as half of the soul is locked, the other half of the soul will be controlled or damaged. But it is not inherently something that can be easily destroyed.

The consciousness of the evil of this world was killed because of the personality of that Alice Phil, so it could only be returned to the Holy Grail. It can no longer manifest itself.

However, it still hasn't woken up yet. The previous manifestation of the personality was only a dream-like state, so—

It doesn't really pay attention to more things, and doesn't notice that the personality of Alice Phil, who didn't die, is still there.

And now......

Li Amen activated a pre-prepared method, forcibly using the connection of the same soul to summon the other half of the soul in front of him.

Unlike Alice Phil's half of the soul that was kept in the Horcruxes, the personality that had been taken by the evil of this world did not seem to be in a good state.

On the one hand, she was polluted by the evil of this world and her consciousness was severely damaged, on the other hand, she was killed by Emiya Kiritsugu, and the evil of this world manifested black mud to curse Emiya Kiritsugu. So she-

This "she" is rejected by the other half of Alice Phil, who is conscious and intact.

Yes, if you accept her, you will also pollute yourself. This was Alice Phil's first instinctive warning when she saw this half of her soul.

"What should I do?" Alice Phil asked, looking at Amen Lee.

After all, it was half of her soul, and it was still the main soul, so she couldn't care about it.

It didn't feel good to be controlled by the evil of this world before, even if she was just watching from the sidelines, and the feeling was not so deep and strong, but it was still not very good.

Li Amen smiled: "This is exactly the result I wanted. You should be able to use this connection now, and in a few moments, with the help of the reaction force of the shattering of the small chalice from the outside, you will be able to help me invade the inner core of the real Great Grail in a few moments. As long as you can help me with this, then in the end I will also help you to purify this half of your soul as much as possible. ”

Alice Fell pondered for a moment. nodded decisively and said, "Okay!" ”

……

The Golden Grail, once part of Alice Phil's body, was completely powdered and vanished after the flash of light cracked. Saber closed his eyes, not daring to face the scene - now. The last hope is gone. Her battle is also over.

In that case, how could I witness this tragic scene with my eyes open?

In fact. She never opened her eyes again. The Noble Phantasm, which was forced to exert its power against his intentions, had exhausted all of Saber's remaining magical power, and he could not even maintain the Servant's physical form. Saber loses the strength and will to stay in this world. Of course. This is also due to the fact that the Master, who is the contractor, does not intend to keep her.

Maintaining a sword-swinging stance, Saber began to detach from the present world, and soon, her entity vanished.

At the moment when he gradually loses his intersection with the real world, the last emotion that flashes through Saber's mind is the mystery of the character of Emiya Kiritsugu.

A lovely father who dotes on his daughter, a warrior who wants to save the world, and a murderer who despairs of justice, he shows all kinds of contradictory fragments of human nature, but in the end betrays everything and denies everything.

Until the end, for such a man, Saber can only be sure of the coldness and ruthlessness in his heart.

It wasn't until the end that he and she didn't get to know each other and build a relationship of trust—nay, maybe at the last minute, she realized that she didn't really know what he was thinking.

However, there is nothing wrong with this.

Fade into consciousness, Saber laughed to himself.

How can a man who has nothing to do with anything other than give three orders to himself, how can he understand himself? Such a self once failed to even read the letters of the people around him.

All of this may be a long and euphemistic punishment for tormenting "the king who doesn't understand other people's hearts".

Although Saber left the world scarred and unable to fulfill her ambitions, not having to witness the tragedy that followed may be a kind of compensation for her.

The beam of the "Sword of Victory of the Oath", which destroyed the Holy Grail, blew the ceiling of the stage and split the entire Civic Hall in two. The building, which had already been burned to its core, could not withstand such a blow, and the superstructure was destroyed, and the roof that had lost its support fell halfway into the auditorium like an avalanche.

Then, through the pillar-like fragments of rubble, Kiritsugu saw "it" in the exposed night sky.

The Black Sun - the symbol of the end of this world that I have seen when I come into contact with the black mud.

At that time, Kiritsugu was unable to see clearly, but its entity was actually a real "hole". It is the altar that is hidden in the Advent rites. and the space tunnel under Mt. Enzo on the east side of Fukayama Town, which is connected to the "Great Holy Grail" magic array. Sixty years of absorbing the energy of the leylines, and now it has been filled with the Great Holy Grail of the six Heroic Souls. Transformed into a giant vortex of magic. This is the body of the black "hole".

The "device" taken from the android of Einsbelen is nothing more than a key to open the hole, and it is also a control device that keeps the hole in a stable state. Kiritsugu, who was unaware of this secret, had made a fatal mistake, and instead of ordering Saber to destroy the Holy Grail, he should have made her use the "Sword of Victory of the Oath" to burn the hole in the sky. Due to the loss of control of the "device", the black sun began to dissolve and the hole gradually decreased, but it was already completely impossible to stop the black mud from flowing out of the inside of the hole until it was completely closed.

Originally, it was just an attribute power that was used to create a breakthrough to the "outside world". Due to the mistakes of Kiritsugu before, it was dyed with a dark curse.

Filled with the curse of "all the evil in the world." It has the power to destroy all life, and at this moment, it is like a waterfall falling half from the top of the civic hall.

Archer, standing in the audience on the first floor, could not find a way out of this baptism.

"This ...... This is......!? ”

The raging black waves swept away the golden servant that could not be done. No, it wasn't just swept away, he was gone the moment he came into contact with the black mud. Archer's body was disintegrated and absorbed by the black mud in the blink of an eye, becoming one with the raging mudflow.

The tsunami-like black mud engulfed the audience on the first floor, and Kiritsugu, who had escaped the disaster standing in the box, stared blankly at all this. The cursed waterfall that fell from the sky never stopped, and the black mud turned into a river gushing out of the building through the entrance of the guild hall. Spread out into the surrounding neighborhoods.

And so, the killing began.

People were asleep, smelling the death mud of the breath of human life, turning into a burning curse that came down to their pillows.

Burning down houses. Burn down the courtyard. Both those who fell asleep and those who woke up trying to escape were burned to the ground - it had waited inside the Great Grail for sixty years, as if celebrating this brief release, mercilessly depriving it of all life it came into contact with.

Afterwards. More than 500 people were killed and 134 buildings were burned. This is a catastrophe of great cause, which has never been known. It has left an indelible mark on the hearts of the citizens of Fuyuki City.

After a while, the holes in the sky disappeared, and the black mud stopped gushing out. But the dirt brought about massive fires. One by one, the people who could not drag it turned into charred corpses. The night sky is rendered by the grand red lotus fire, and the ground is endlessly staged with the feast of death.

Escaping from the crumbling civic hall, Emiya Kiritsugu witnessed the whole process with his own eyes.

The life that was about to be destroyed was so similar to the situation that tormented him in a nightmare. But what follows, undoubtedly, is reality.

……

"It's clear that Emiya Kiritsugu made a fatal mistake and that something went wrong with the way he destroyed the Holy Grail." Li Amen pretended to sigh and said, "Alice Phil, what do you think? ”

"Well deserved!" Alice Phil spat out the two words coldly.

Yes, even if the other half of the soul is manipulated by the evil of this world, even if it is not fully experienced.

However, she dedicated herself to Kiritsugu's ideals once, and was killed by Kiritsugu again for her ideals.

Although the evil of this world cannot represent her, it is her soul after all, and empathy is not a joke.

Definitely will not forgive Emiya Kiritsugu, this idea is not fake.

Now she has only her daughter in her heart.

"I'm wondering what does it mean that Emiya Kiritsugu chose the wrong way to destroy the Holy Grail?" Li Amen said to himself, "Is this a choice of fate, or ......"

Is the choice of fate to usher in the birth of Emiya Shirou to lead the world to this result?

If not, then the answer must be even more interesting.

If not, it can only show that although the inhibition is great, it is not omnipotent after all, and there will still be things that cannot be completely grasped.

Isn't this what a dead person like Li Amen likes to see the most?

If you want to be the enemy of the world in the future, how can you not try this pleasure of death? And if there are flaws in the world, then what kind of pleasure will it bring if the fun of breaking the world is broken?

He was looking forward to what hadn't happened yet.

Now that he has been guided by Alice Phil's power to the core of the Holy Grail, he has seen the black world.

Let's get down to business first. (To be continued......)
