There are three people left, whether to save one or two. Kiritsugu gripped the hilt with a trembling hand.

Tears have dried up. With a ghost-like empty gaze, Kiritsugu tore apart Kuyu Maiya's body. Repeatedly, repeatedly waved the dagger.

And just like that, there are only two people left in the world.

You don't have to weigh on a balance anymore. Equivalent value that does not need to be calculated. This is the last hope that 498 lives were exchanged for.

Having done all this, Kiritsugu finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had become a walking corpse, surrounded by the warmth of the furnace.

In a nostalgic, calm and warm room, the "wife" and "daughter" are smiling.

That is, this is the world he seeks, a stable world.

No more fighting, no need to hurt anyone. A complete paradise.

"You're back, Kiritsugu. You're finally back! ”

With joy on her face, Ilyasfil wrapped her little hands around her father's neck.

In the northernmost city where the snow falls, there is such a tranquility.

The blood-stained career ushered in such unimaginable warmth at the end.

If such a peaceful children's room was the whole of the world, then there would be no disputes or entanglements.

"--Right? I see? This is what the Holy Grail wishes for you. ”

Alice Fell smiled at her husband, who was indulging in happiness.

Just pray to the Holy Grail.

Pray for his wife to be resurrected and her daughter back.

In the face of infinite magic, these are insignificant miracles.

All that's left is happiness. On this planet where everything is destroyed. The last three humans should be able to live happily ever after.

“…… I can't find the buds of the walnut tree anymore......"

Outside the window, there was no longer a white snowy scene, only the black mud that rolled up the whirlpool. Look at the view. Kiritsugu muttered to himself. At this time, Ilyasfil smiled and shook his head at him.

"Well, it doesn't matter. As long as Ilya can be with Kiritsugu and her mother, it's enough. ”

Stroking the head of the most beloved daughter in his arms, Kiritsugu's tears welled up in his eyes.

"Thank you...... Dad also liked Ilya the most. That's all I swear, it's really ......."

His hands didn't stop moving. It's as if they're not controlled by the brain, like a set up machine. Kiritsugu pressed the muzzle of Contender's gun against his daughter's tiny chin.

"- Goodbye, Elijah."

The head of a young girl. With the sound of gunfire, it exploded.

Kiritsu's tear-drenched cheeks were stained with slices of flesh with silver hair.

Alice Phil screamed. Her eyes widened, her hair was disheveled, and she shouted frantically and selflessly.

"What—what did you do!?"

Kiritsugu crushed his wife who rushed forward like a fierce ghost. He grabbed her slender neck with his hand.

"Holy Grail. It's something that shouldn't exist......"

Regardless of what is inside the body, Alice Phil's personality is still real. The despair and pain of her daughter's killing, as well as her hatred for her husband who killed her daughter, are undoubtedly Alice Fair's real feelings.

Kiritsugu looked straight at her, accepting the fact while choking his wife's neck with all his might.

“…… What are you doing...... Why reject the Holy Grail and our ...... My Ilya ...... Why, you want to do this!? ”

"-Because. I-"

The sound squeezed out of the throat was so empty, like a gust of wind blowing through the hollow. There is no sadness. There was no anger. Of course, Emiya Kiritsugu's heart was empty. He gave up the miracle he was pursuing, and he also gave up the interests that were completely contrary to his original intention. At this moment, there is no way that there is anything left in his heart.

"I want to save the world."

There is only one point, and that is the belief that is carried through to the end. But why does this phrase sound so hollow.

Alice Fell stared at Kiritsugu, her snow-white face flushed. The crimson eyes that looked at him with love and longing at all times were now stained with curse and resentment.

"-I curse you-"

Graceful and slender fingers grabbed Kiritsugu's shoulder. From the five fingers, which are deeply immersed in the flesh, black sludge flows.

"Emiya Kiritsugu...... I curse you...... Suffering...... Remorse until death...... Absolutely, don't forgive you......"

"Ahh

The abomination-stained sludge flowed through the veins to the heart, seeping into the soul of the man who had lost everything. But even so, Kiritsugu didn't let go, and he even forgot the meaning of the tears on his cheeks. He said as he strangled the woman in the black dress.

"It doesn't matter. I said - I will carry you on my back. ”

The trembling hand broke the woman's cervical vertebrae.

The scene has changed again.

--I invaded the deep spiritual illusion, and when I looked back, I realized that it was only a blink of an eye.

When he came back to his senses, Kiritsugu realized that he was standing in the original large prop warehouse.

In his right hand, he still holds the Contender, which has not yet pulled the trigger. And in front of him was Yan Fengqi, who remained motionless and kept kneeling unconscious.

Kiritsugu looked up at the ceiling, staring at the black dirt that was still dripping down and sprinkling the ground. Kiritsugu was stained with the dirt at the same time as Kiri, so he must have seen the same thing at this moment.

If the dirt really was spilling from the Holy Grail - the Holy Grail should be on it, on the stage of the Great Hall, and it is certain that the Advent was still going on.

We must hurry.

Kiri regained consciousness and tried to stand up, but was stopped by the muzzle of Kiritsugu's gun against his back.

Qili, who immediately understood the situation, smiled wryly at the dramatic ending. After such a tragic life-and-death battle just now, I didn't expect that the key to the final victory or defeat was the accidental factor of who woke up first.

Or is it that the one who ends the nightmare first by his own will wakes up first?

“…… It's so stupid that I can't understand it. Why refuse it? ”

Dull. Voices filled with anger and hatred. This was the first time that Emiya Kiritsugu had directly heard the voice of Yan Feng Qili.

“…… Do you think there would be any benefit to receiving that? ”

Hoarse and tired to the point of hollow voice. This is also the first time that Yan Feng Qili has faced the voice of Emiya Kiritsugu.

Both came into contact with the object in the Holy Grail and understood its true identity. Kiritsugu's communication with the thing that claimed to be the Holy Grail consciousness was all watched by Kirei. For the choice of Kiritsu. Qili couldn't understand it anyway.

"You guy...... Throwing everything away, sacrificing everything, and finally getting to this point! But why refuse what is at your fingertips! ”

"That thing will be a great sacrifice for something that isn't so worth it - that's all."

"Then let it be to me!"

At this moment, Kiri felt a deep hatred for Emiya Kiritsugu, a man who may have been very similar to him in the past, but who was now the complete opposite of himself.

"What you don't need is useful to me! That thing...... If that happens, I'll be able to give it an answer without thinking! ”

Kiri understands Kiritsugu's intentions. This one made up his mind. Even what the man who refuses the wish machine by killing the person he loves the most will do next, Qili is very clear. And he did not allow him to do so, for this. He was willing to gamble his life so far.

"Please, don't kill it! It longs for the birth of its own life! ”

Unable to even turn back, the priest prayed excitedly. The assassin looked down at him with an icy gaze.

"Ahh

Slide your finger towards the trigger. The firing pin ejects the 30.06 Springfield sniper rifle out of the chamber.

Instantaneous fires and roars.

An unmistakable shot. Kiritsugu shot through Kiri's heart from behind.

……

"Ah, seeing that the stimulation was so great, this guy Genomiya Kiritsugu actually forgot what I left for them. However, it is no wonder that he is like this, anyone who sees the shattering of his dreams, and whoever has to bear the sin of killing his wife with his own hands, will be the same. Li Amen thought to himself.

"I don't know, after being turned into a Horcrux, I was sucked into the area where the Holy Grail stored the soul of the Hero. What would Alice Phil think? Since she is also in the Holy Grail, she also shares all the evils of this world that are one with the main soul. As a bystander. After watching such a scene, and seeing with her own eyes the realization when Emiya Kiritsugu killed another self, what would she think? Unfortunately, although I could see everything she saw, I couldn't read my mind. It seems that the only time has come for me to ask in person. ”

After taking his attention away from Kiritsugu Emiya and Alice Phil, Li Amen focused his attention on Yan Feng Qili.

Qili's performance at this moment seems to be no different from the original plot.

However, Li Amen knew that it was a true outpouring of feelings, and Qili really thought so.

That person has not completely repaired the lack of emotion, and is still in the nature of evil, so what he feels from that thing is the part that he has been pursuing and missing.

The evil of this world has both the evil that destroys everything and the love that Alice Field's personality generates, which is exactly what Qili is looking for.

Qili put himself in the middle of it, thinking that if he lived like this with his wife and daughter, even if the whole world was completely extinct, it would be happy.

Yes, happiness is sometimes really simple, and it is precisely because it is lost forever that we have to pursue that happiness.

Therefore, Qili sincerely hated the heir who was clearly happy in front of him, but he didn't cherish it at all.

What made him even more disappointed was that the Holy Grail actually chose not himself, but chose Kiritsugu.

Qili was really moved by this evil in this world for a moment, and really wanted to let it be born.

It's a pity that in the end, Qili died, and it was only because of a mistake that Kiritsugu woke up first.

This is no coincidence!

In Lee's view, this is the choice of the world.

Manipulating and interfering in the world through the influence of the underworld is where the inhibition is most powerful.

In order to prevent the destruction of mankind, to prevent the earth from being viciously polluted and the destruction of other species, neither Alayah nor Gaia would want the evil of this world to be born in this way.

I believe that it should be difficult for a parallel world to have the possibility of the birth of the evil of this world, and when it first appeared, I am afraid that it was already calculated by the suppressive force.

Even if such an accident really happened in a parallel world, it might have been destroyed by the army of Heroic Spirits who were the guardians.

In particular, this parallel world is not the first world to reach this time period, and all the coping experiences have long been recorded in the inhibition force.

So, there won't be any surprises.

If there must be an accident, then-

The only accident in this world is Li Amen.

What he thinks and thinks will affect the future of this parallel world. (To be continued......)
