I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

It was simply a chilling, abominable spirit. This existence of self-loathing and hatred of others has an extremely bitter taste.

The sadness disappeared.

The joy disappeared.

The anger is gone too.

All that's left is overwhelming hatred, hatred, hatred.

The deepest and darkest emotions gnawed at Shenji's soul.

That is the true form of Calydon, a madness more terrifying than falling into hell.

The head seemed to be broken, and the body heat was gradually being stripped away.

The facial features were destroyed by what was injected into them.

The darkness that cannot be faced.

The ugliness that cannot be seen directly.

It makes people want to die.

But, you can't die yet.

Because there are more important things to do than death, than this darkness.

There is another obsession that supports me.

Revenge, kill Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

Kill Amakusa Shiro.

Kill Amakusa.

Kill.

kill!

kill!

kill!

The black mist condensed into substance, and the boundless darkness wrapped around Shen Er's body, wantonly devouring his spiritual energy and changing his form.

You can become whatever you want.

Be it a monster, a demon, or some other alien form.

His consciousness became deeper and deeper, and the colors in front of him became more and more monotonous, leaving only endless black.

Come on, come on, I accept them all.

As long as I can kill that bastard, no matter what the cost——

The moment before the last trace of clarity passed away, a voice penetrated the boundless darkness and reached the deepest part of the soul.

"That won't work."

Huh? This voice, Justeza...

"You can't do this, Shinji."

It's really your voice, Justeza, it's so good to hear your voice again.

Just a moment, I'll go see you soon.

I will kill that bastard immediately to avenge you.

"Can't!"

Ah, I know you are worried about me and think about me wholeheartedly.

But, you are no longer here, I can do whatever I want.

"Shenji, wake up!!! Look at me! Listen to my voice! Feel it with your heart!"

See...listen...feel...

The eyelids opened with a wind element, and the abominable darkness was still in front of them, but there was a light at the end of the darkness.

Pure light.

Pure white light.

Warm light.

This light was extremely familiar to Shenji. It was the light that had been by his side since he came to this world, almost never leaving it for a moment.

"Justice."

The name was called again.

"Well, it's me."

With this response, the connection that had been silent for many days, as if it had been severed, suddenly became active, and the bonds of magic, spirit, and soul were miraculously restored.

"Justice, is it really you?"

"Well, it's me, it's me, Shinji."

The same voice, the same gentleness, and the same response made Shenji feel like he was in a dream.

"Yes, but you are not..."

"I'm not here anymore, right?"

Calmly speaking the cruel truth, even the fact that he didn't want to face even if he didn't care about life and death.

Silent and afraid to answer, he was afraid that if he answered, he would wake up from this dream.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, this is not a dream, I am still here. The connection between you and me is the best proof."

"Then why...why couldn't I sense you before? Why, why didn't you come to me..."

"Because I was locked up by Ji Xiuya, locked in a closed alien space, and was just released."

"Lock him up? Old Man Gem? Sure enough, he and that bastard are together, and they planned to bring us here!!!"

Because of the restoration of the contract, Shinji's withered state of mind was injected with new vitality, and his thinking became much clearer.

"What are these two bastards planning? Do they really want to destroy the world?"

"Of course that's impossible. Through the exchanges over the past few days, I can see that these two people are definitely not lunatics who want to destroy the world. They love the world more than 99% of people."

"Wait, you said love? Then how do you explain the wish that that bastard said?"

"Actually, the information you told me is correct. Amakusa Shiro's wish has always been for the immortality of all mankind. From Einzbern's point of view, this is relief. From another point of view, this is not a kind of destruction. Are humans still humans without death?”

It makes so much sense that it leaves people speechless.

"Then what are they doing? Are they tormenting you and me like this?"

When thinking about his life these days, Shen Er felt an unknown fire in his heart.

"Kishua's purpose has been told to us a long time ago. To collect data on the uncontaminated Great Holy Grail, and to make me think about whether the Einzbern family's thousand-year obsession is really what I want."

"Where's that bastard?"

Justina hesitated for a moment and replied, "It seems to be related to you?"

"Is it related to me? Did I provoke him? Don't I, Ta Miao, just want to practice hard, collect data, and then go back? As for punishing me to death like this? Can't you tell me properly? ? I can still cooperate with you if necessary? How do you explain that bastard? "

"Neither Amakusa Shirou Tokisada nor Kishua told me the specific reason. They just said that this was a trial and they will tell you the reason after the trial."

"Trial, haha, trial, is there such a trial?"

Hearing this explanation, Shenji let out a series of laughs, some were cold, some were tragic, as if something was broken, which made Justina feel extremely distressed.

"You know, in these short few days, I lived and died, lived and died, lived and died again, I don't know how I survived."

"I... know, because it's the same for me. I've been looking at you, but I can't get to you. How painful it is for you, how painful it is for me."

"Justisa..."

"So, just do whatever you want. No matter what decision you make, I will support you. But - I don't want you to be swallowed up by hatred and turn into a monster."

Justina's prayer was passed unreservedly to Shen'er's heart through the connection between the two, warming his soul that had endured countless pains and was riddled with holes.

"Is it still too late? I have already used the 'Wild Boar of God's Punishment', and I don't know how long I can hold on with my remaining consciousness."

"It comes in time. As long as you are strong-willed and believe in yourself, you will not be affected by hatred at all, because this is your ability and the reason why Jixiuya chose you."

"My ability?"

"Close your eyes, relax your mind, and feel it carefully. It is not only hatred that surrounds you, but also more longing."

Pure white light flowed into Shen Er's consciousness, guiding his consciousness to sink and sink.

"I am never the only one who cares about you. This is your true source of power, the magic that only belongs to you."

Then, Shen Er saw the light hidden in the deepest part of his heart, which was his origin.
