I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Where is Shinji?

In mid-air, directly in front of the "hole" opened by the Great Holy Grail filled with heroic souls.

This will not only ensure that no one will sneak away, but also tell them the correct way to pray after the final winner is decided to prevent them from making an mistake.

Of course, he fell right into the "hole".

Before he could stabilize his body and return to the real world again, he saw that the "hole" was shrinking rapidly as if it was squeezed hard by something.

Shenji, who had no time to react, let alone leave, was dumbfounded: "What is going on?"

"Because the ceremony has been completed, the passage is closed."

A thick voice sounded behind him, and when he turned his head to look, he was even more surprised.

"Araya Soren? Why are you here? Aren't you dead?" - or return to "stillness".

"Do you think I'm alive like this?"

"..." Well, it really doesn't count.

Araya's current appearance is very similar to that of Shinji just now. He has no body and only a soul left. Because it is the inner space of the Great Holy Grail, it does not leave this world like other souls and can continue to exist.

"How did you get here?"

"Because of the remnants of Nero Kaos. His 'Soil of Creation' has the same source as the black mud. When Nero's consciousness destroyed, the remaining 'Soil of Creation' was produced with the Great Holy Grail. The connection was made, and my soul was sucked in.”

Maybe it was because he knew he couldn't defeat Shinji, or maybe it was because the conspiracy had succeeded. Araya Soren knew everything and told him everything.

"Because my 'origin' is 'stillness', I was not assimilated by Angora Mainyu until you successfully purified the Great Holy Grail."

"It seems like I saved you." Shenji snorted coldly. I thought Shiki and Shiki's magic eyes were infallible, but I didn't expect such a coincidence.

"I died because of you, twice, and I couldn't even use my spare body."

Similar to Orange's skills and abilities, Araya can also create a backup of himself and replace his body. However, oranges are more convenient and can be replaced when they die, while Araya has many restrictions.

"That's your own fault. Who told you to take advantage of my friend? Forget it, there's no point in talking about it now. Let me ask you what happened when the passage was closed? Was it you?"

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Shenji to give him such an opportunity, let alone feel guilty.

"I'm just fulfilling my master's authority and making a wish to the Great Holy Grail."

"Going to the 'roots'?"

Araya's only wish was this, and it never changed.

"Yes, and give eternity to Roa."

"What did you say?"

After hearing this answer, Shenji's face suddenly became very ugly.

"Roa? That bastard is here too?"

"yes."

If you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. Roa obtained the power of Elquit and sublimated his soul to a higher dimension. It will not decay with the passage of time, will not wear out due to inconsistency with the physical body, and will become a nearly eternal spiritual life. It is not impossible to remain oneself despite the curse of "the soil of creation" and "the evil of this world."

"Where are the others?"

"Getting out there, he got what he wanted."

"Impossible, the Great Holy Grail cannot be used by the Dead Apostles."

Shenji was very sure of this. When Justeza transformed into the Great Holy Grail, the "Jewel Man" had specially tampered with it.

"It is true that direct utilization is not possible, but it is possible to just reuse the created things."

Reasonable explanation. The simplest example, if you ask the Great Holy Grail for money, and then give the money to the Dead Apostles, the money will never disappear.

"What on earth did you do?"

"I want the real 'Soil of Creation'."

"FXXk!" Shenji yelled.

What is the real "Soil of Creation"?

Tiamat's maternal womb "Sea of ​​Life" that nurtures all things, the materials used by Nuwa to create humans, and there are also rumors that Enzi was created from the "Soil of Creation".

Nero Kaos' "Chaos" and Angora Mainyu's Black Mud are both degraded versions of this thing. Shenji knows better than anyone what it means to let Roa get this thing.

By this time, he finally knew that the prophecies of Scathach and Gilgamesh did not correspond to Joan of Arc and the handling of the Great Holy Grail at all, but to these two guys who should have died.

Unfortunately it's a little too late.

◇◇◇

At the same time, outside the "hole", at the position that originally belonged to Shen Er, someone was laughing wildly in the air.

The sculptured face is covered with long blond hair and small figure 8 eyes.

He was obviously a stranger that no one had ever seen before, but the expression between his eyebrows gave people an inexplicably familiar feeling.

"Now I am truly immortal, and I finally have eternity."

Yes, he is none other than Roa, the real Roa, as he was before his reincarnation.

One person, facing everyone below - the master, the servants, the supervisor, and even the onlookers who have nothing to do with the Holy Grail War. His calm and calm posture was completely different from the misery and embarrassment of being forced into a desperate situation a few days ago.

Going back in time for a short while, we reach the moment when Shinji fell into the "hollow".

Because of the exclamation, everyone's attention was attracted.

Then Roa showed up. Just appear in full view of the public in such a majestic and open manner.

At first, everyone was confused.

Who is this? Why did you run out? Why are you standing so high? What about the previous guy who stood that tall?

But as Hiyer screamed, everything inside and outside the battlefield exploded.

Thinkers like Weber, Medea, and Cheng Zi would also think about how this guy came out, and how he escaped the previous siege and became like this.

Especially Chengzi, who had concluded that all the enemies would be wiped out, and she was beaten in the face just a few days ago.

The action-oriented Arturia simply "released her magic power" and jumped into the air. While slashing people with her sword, she asked:

"Where's Shinji? What did you do to him?"

Roa did not dodge, avoid or defend, and allowed the Holy Sword to cut him into two pieces. He did not forget to reply like a gentleman:

"I didn't do anything to him, and I can't do anything to him. Although I'm a little reluctant, I have to admit that he is a stronger monster than me in a sense."

This sentence can be regarded as the greatest recognition of Shen Er.

There were two battles, one was an encounter in which both sides were unprepared, and the other was a mutual hunt in which both sides were prepared. Both times, Roa was defeated, and the defeat was miserable. If he hadn't merged with Kotomine Kirei and entered the Great Holy Grail by chance, if Shinji hadn't happened to purify the Great Holy Grail and was right in front of the "hole", he wouldn't have known how to deal with this terrifyingly powerful boy.

"All I can do is accelerate his growth and ask him to go to the place that magicians dream of, the end of the magic path - the 'root'."

This sentence made all the magicians change their expressions, especially the girls who were not involved with Shenji, their faces turned pale.
