Tonight, instead of the moon, a round black hole hangs in the night sky of Fuyuki City.

As the souls of the six Heroic Spirits are filled with the Holy Grail, opening up the inner and outer sides of the world, the power of the world's perforation begins to manifest itself. This bottomless black pit hanging deep in the night sky is the prototype of the path to the "roots".

If anyone stared at this deep, black bottomless pit up close, he would surely feel a chill in his heart.

This visceral terror comes from the fear of power and destruction on the one hand, and the trembling of the original malice on the other.

The power that can pierce the world is naturally not to be underestimated, and in the face of the vast magic power that can burn mountains and boil seas and destroy everything, any human will feel fear and surrender.

And this fear was further enhanced when this great power was colored by Angola Manuel with the color of "all the evils of this world".

Storms, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and so on are fearsome of nature's mighty forces, but they do not contain malice, they are simply power. And when this power is used by people with intentions, it becomes the force that exterminates humanity.

Under the long-term scorching flames, the wooden structure of the Fuyuki City Civic Hall was finally destroyed, and above the ruins, a large golden wine glass was suspended, and the mysterious connection between the golden chalice and the deep hole in the sky could be faintly felt.

On the inside of the Holy Grail, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been meditating for a long time with his eyes closed, opened his eyes:

"The Holy Grail must not be truly formed, with the magic level of the Holy Grail, even if the destruction of all human beings is not enough, but the destruction of this country is probably not a lie, it will be a great disaster."

Berserker nodded:

"Sure enough, you made your choice. But have you figured it out? Although the Grail is tainted, it does grant your wish, and resurrecting your wife, Alice Phil, is not a miracle that cannot be done for the Grail. ”

"Miracles? Ellie is such a kind person, if Ellie knew that her resurrection was actually obtained by the sacrifice of so many innocent people, she would not accept it! But ......"

Emiya Kiritsugu sighed bitterly.

"What's wrong?"

Emiya Kiritsugu's gaze drifted into the distance:

"Originally, Ellie and I thought that if we could get the Holy Grail, we would be able to stop the Grail of Einzbelen's grief in our generation. Our child Illya no longer has to accept the same fate as his mother - to become a vessel for the Little Grail and be forced to join the brutal struggle of the Holy Grail War. Didn't expect ......"

"Poof! Hahahahaha......ha

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you, Emiya Kiritsugu. I didn't expect you, who are calm and calm, and everything is dominated by pragmatism, has not seen the truth of everything until now. ”

"The truth? Isn't what you just told me the truth about the Holy Grail War? ”

"No, everything I know about the Holy Grail War has been told to you. What I laugh at is that after going through the test of Angola Manuel, all the evils of this life, you still don't realize this truth—great ideals and goals, after all, need to rely on your own hands to achieve—this thing. ”

Berserker opened his arms as if embracing the world inside the Holy Grail, full of corpses, darkness, blood, and magic:

"Angola Manuel's words are extreme, but there is one thing that he is not wrong about. That is, the Holy Grail can only fulfill the wishes of the wisher in a way that the wisher understands. ”

"Let's imagine if there is a way to achieve world peace and resolve strife in this world. Maybe there is. But how should this method, as a wish-granting machine, be understood by the Holy Grail? The Holy Grail is nothing more than a magic ritual, a device designed by the magicians of the founding Miyo Clan hundreds of years ago, and is at best a machine. The Holy Grail has magical powers, and how to use them depends entirely on the will of the person who made the wish. ”

"If you have in your heart that you can only save the world by killing, the Holy Grail will of course only continue to do it according to the blueprint you have drawn in your heart. This is true for both a tainted black chalice and an untainted colorless grail. ”

Emiya Kiritsugu shouted:

"You keep saying that you want me to do it myself, but it is precisely because I can't do it that I put this wish in the Holy Grail, if I can do it, then what else do I need the Holy Grail for?"

"Look, you've found a blind spot, right? You want to have something in this world, and as long as you get it, you can fulfill your wishes unconditionally. But will you really get something so good? If there really is such a thing, it will be robbed by the whole world. ”

"What people can't do, the Holy Grail can't do, and what people can do, many times don't need the Holy Grail."

Emiya Kiritsugu muttered:

"Is the vision of saving the world a dream of vanity after all?"

"Whether the world needs to be saved or not is up to you and me. Maybe the world is already good, and there is no need to save it at all? Of course, if the premise is that the world really needs to be saved, then the pain, struggle, and sacrifice experienced by human beings in the process of saving the world in which they live are the necessary pains before salvation can be completed. As with all newborns, the birth needs to be accompanied by the pain of the mother. The great task of creating a perfect world needs to be remembered with pain. The deeper the darkness, the brighter the light that illuminates the darkness. ”

"And Emiya Kiritsugu's vision of saving your own daughter doesn't need a holy grail to come true. Why don't you go and get her out yourself? If that's what you really think in your heart, go for it! ”

Emiya Kiritsugu was silent.

As a battle-hardened magician killer, his belief should not have been shaken by Berserker's imperfect rhetoric, but when he thought of his daughter Illya, he thought of the former Berserker lord who had a one-sided relationship, and his free and heroic attitude of looking down on life and death left a deep impression on him, and thought of the content of the Holy Grail's test for himself......

After seeing countless landscapes that he had never seen before, Emiya Kiritsugu began to doubt himself deeply.

Is it my own fault? No, it won't. There can be nothing wrong with the desire to save the world, it is you who is at fault.

If it is so difficult to destroy this world, it should be a hundred times more difficult to save this world than to destroy it, and it is just irresponsible to use the Holy Grail to cross this insurmountable barrier.

……

From the flames of the collapsed Fuyuki City Civic Hall, two slightly embarrassed figures walked out of the fire.

"Berserker, according to what you said, we must interrupt the Holy Grail Ritual if we want to stop this evil from being born in this world through my twisted desire to destroy all of humanity. So how do we do that? Destroy that Golden Grail? ”

Emiya Kiritsugu pointed to the golden "Holy Grail" floating above the ruins of the Civic Hall.

"No, the little chalice is the key that opens the path to the root, and the stabilizer of the channel. If you rashly destroy the little chalice, it will lead to the collapse of the space road, and the huge magic power that has nowhere to go will enter the real world through the perforation of the inner and outer worlds, and this kind of magic that has been polluted by Angola Manuel is devastating to human beings! ”

"In other words, we need to close the passages between the spaces and then retrieve the chalice. Berserker, that thing in the sky, do you have a way to destroy it? ”

The tall man with the silver spear nodded confidently:

"The Holy Grail is just a magic ritual after all, and it is very sensitive to the interference of external forces, let alone destructive magical powers."

The dragon spear danced, and the huge magic power was added layer by layer with the wave again and again, and the high-speed movement of the spear tip cut through the air, stirring up bursts of loud "phoenix sounds".

"Hundred birds and phoenixes!"

The birds condensed with blue magic vibrated their wings and flew towards the cracks that heaven or abyss had opened in the world.

With the blooming of the blue magic "fireworks", the hole of heaven was sealed, and the Fourth Holy Grail War finally ushered in its imperfect ending.

……………………

Due to the infection of black mud, Zhao Yun, a heroic spirit who is a Berserker job agent, completed the "flesh receiving ceremony" and obtained the flesh through the law of the Holy Grail and magic power.

On the second day after the end of the Holy Grail War, Kiritsugu Emiya, Maiya Kuyu, and Zhao Yun followed Vichy Luther on the return journey and found the home of Einzberen.

The members of the Einzberen family believe that Emiya Kiritsugu betrayed and caused the Holy Grail to fall short, and the Einzberen family's enchantment refused to allow Emiya Kiritsugu to enter. However, under the overwhelming power of the heroic spirit Zhao Yun, the three of them succeeded in recapturing the daughter of Kiritsugu Emiya and Alice Phil, Illyasfil von Einzberen.

Emiya Kiritsugu returned to Fuyuki City with his only daughter Illya Phil and his assistant Kuyu Maiya to settle down.

After assisting Emiya Kiritsugu in regaining his beloved daughter, Zhao Yun re-signed a magic contract with Sakura Makiri. According to the agreement with the night of the child, he stayed in the house and became the new head of the family, taking care of the family as the guardian of the family.

The body of the wild goose was buried after the end of the Holy Grail War, and according to his last words, the body was cremated to purify the "dirty" soul of the wild goose.

After the deaths of the members of the Templar Church in Fuyuki City, Yan Feng Lizheng and Yan Feng Qili, the Templar Church re-dispatched the head of the church in Fuyuki City, Bazet Fraga Macremis.

Kenneth fraudulently died as a magician and stepped down as head of the Ermelo family, and the head of the family was handed over to Kenneth's niece, Rhaenys Ermelo Archizorti, who himself devoted himself to the restoration of the Ermelo family's ancestral seals.

Webb Wildwitt, who was defeated in the Holy Grail War but was lucky enough to save his life, returned to the Clock Tower after many twists and turns. Guilty of stealing his teacher Kenneth's relics, he arbitrarily participated in the Holy Grail War, which indirectly led to the teacher's "death" (Weber did not know that Kenneth was still alive), and took a series of actions out of atonement and to prove Iskandar's vision.

Webb borrowed a large sum of money from a close friend and re-rented the classroom left behind by his teacher, Kenneth, to teach as a lecturer.

Although Weber Velvett's talent in magic was limited by his talent, he gradually grew into an excellent teacher in his own right during his lectures and research in the Ermelo classroom. Cultivated a large number of materials that can be made by magicians.

Under the mediation of Rhaenys Ermelo Archizorti, Weber Velvet became Kenneth's student and succeeded Kenneth as monarch, exercising the power of head of the family on behalf of Leenys Ermelo Archizorti before he was a minor, and supporting the Ermeiro family.

Kenneth lived in the family for a long time as a magic teacher of Sakura Makiri. In fact, he acted on behalf of a part of the power of the head of the Tong family. And the rest of the more important power is borne by Zhao Yun, who is the head of the Jian Tong family.

The Tosaka family is left with only the main mother Aoi Tosaka and Rin Tosaka's mother and daughter. According to the conventions of the magic world, the position of the head of the Tosaka family was inherited by Rin Tosaka, who inherited the bloodline of Tosaka's ministers. Due to the small physical damage caused by the sword, Tosaka Tokitomi's internal magic mark is still intact. And Rin Tosaka is talented enough, and there were no problems when he inherited his father's magic mark.

Despite the loss of Tosaka Tokitoshito, the Tosaka family fell in the middle of the road, but under Tosaka Aoi's actions, the Tosaka family still slowly recovered its vitality.

Because the Holy Grail is full of the power of Angora Manuel, which is full of all the evils of this world, ordinary humans who come into contact with black mud...... Emiya Kiritsugu was severely cursed and hurt. His physical condition deteriorated, and he eventually collapsed and died five years after the Holy Grail War. Illya Sfil is left in the care of her stepmother, Maiya Kuyu.

Before Emiya Kiritsugu died, together with the only heroic spirit surviving of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Berserker Zhao Yun, they placed the "tumor" in the Great Hollow of Fuyuki City, where the Holy Grail War Magic Ritual was located. Before the Holy Grail War takes place again, the "tumor" will destroy the Great Void, which in turn will destroy the foundation of the Holy Grail War Ritual.

Five years later, ten years after the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, for unknown reasons, the consciousness of Angola Manuel, probably within the Holy Grail, realized that it was about to be destroyed, and began the Fifth Holy Grail War ahead of schedule.

Already fifteen years old, inheriting the position of the head of the family of the Kiri, a young magician who has mastered the magic of high-level imaginary numbers in ten years of study, with the surviving heroic spirit Zhao Yun of the Fourth Holy Grail War, forcibly suppressed the seven newly summoned heroic spirits and the Imperial Master, the Fifth Holy Grail War ended in two days, and the casualties were almost negligible compared to the Fourth Holy Grail War, but it still caused the death of nearly ten innocent people.

In order to prevent the same mistake from happening again, Kenneth, Ermelo II (Webb Velvett, who inherited the name of the monarch), Sakura Makiri, the current head of the Maki family, and Rin Tosaka, the current head of the Tosaka family, gathered in the Great Hollow in Fuyuki City to destroy all the magic circles and facilities related to the Holy Grail. The history of the Holy Grail War has since ended.
