The Collection of The End

My name is Elijah,

I finally fell off the horse.

15:30:00

The sudden root aura made almost all magicians in Fuyuki City turn their attention to Liudong Temple, especially the representatives of the Holy Church who set up nearby to hide the senses of ordinary people.

Although I have been told that the Holy Grail is just a fake made by magicians and has no value to the church, but they cannot suppress their curiosity about its "ability to get to the root", if those magicians really opened the way to the root channel, can they also get a share of the action?

When this "wish" appeared in these magicians' hearts, they had already been "registered" by the Great Holy Grail. At this time, when they directly witnessed the body of the Great Holy Grail, their minds were immediately captured by it.

——Because the participants were busy fighting, overwhelmed with self-care, and died together, the road to the root was broken into by myself. With the ability to interfere with everything, I made myself, my family, and my forces very powerful, and then confronted competitors, arrogant bosses, and life-and-death enemies Waiting for revenge.

No matter how irrational these visions may be, they will fill in the holes and happily continue dreaming, and unless rescued or the mentally fortitude can come out on their own, they will just stay stupid-until they starve to death.

Ryunosuke Usei found one of them, sitting in the rest area of ​​Fuyuki Ohashi Station and staring up at the sky blankly, and even attracted many pedestrians who didn't know why they looked up at the sky together, which once caused a traffic jam.

Naturally, those ordinary people couldn't see anything.

Although Ryunosuke didn't look back, he felt that the familiar vortex of death appeared again, and was trying to wrap another "thing" full of hostility, so Caster was actually not sure about it. After cleaning up the thing in an instant, I deliberately told him not to look at it.

But the same reason can be proved, as long as the "thing" in perception is controlled, I can look back.

Ryunosuke Uyuu stopped at the upper entrance of the Fuyuki Bridge and began to wait silently.

15:29:33

No one knows what happened at Liudong Temple better than Irisviel who watched Saber Lily swing that sword.

After the "X"-shaped sword light of the girl knight collided with another sword light from Liudong Temple, it flew straight into the sky, cutting the "sky" into two huge "wounds" interlaced—although the " The sky" seems a little low.

Immediately afterwards, the "wound" began to pour out a dark "flood" like a bank burst.

These "floods" did not disperse in all directions, they were all concentrated directly below the landing point, combined with each other, and condensed at the same time after the last drop of "water" fell, forming a huge black barrel-shaped tens of meters high The container enveloped the entire Liudong Temple.

"It's impossible..." she murmured.

Maybe others don't know what it is, but as the holy grail device, Irisviel, who can communicate with the residual will of the clones of the Holy Maiden of Winter, knows very well that that thing is the Great Holy Grail, whether it is to summon heroic spirits or absorb souls to fulfill wishes , are all carried out through it, and it should never be what it is now.

The Great Holy Grail is fixed in the big hole called "Dragon Cave" directly below. Because it has accumulated too much magic power over the years, even a powerful magician dare not approach it rashly to confirm the situation, and it is impossible for anyone to know why it ends in This strange way of appearing on the surface.

Maybe Saber Lily knows the reason?

Irisviel turned her head, but saw that Saber Lily's body was gradually glowing with golden light, and the connection through the magic circuit was gradually becoming weaker——she was disappearing from this world.

"Artoria..." Irisviel didn't know what to say for a moment, Saber Lily didn't become a Heroic Spirit after death because of her achievements in life,

She is even on the journey of practice. For her, the experience here is just a more interesting adventure, and she also sees another future of herself, which will have an immeasurable impact on her growth.

"Irisviel, I'm sorry I have to take a step first, but we should wipe out all the enemies," said the girl in a white dress with more and more golden light on her body, "I wish you and your husband victory in advance~"

Wait—Irisviel reached out her hand to stop it, but the girl in front of her had completely disappeared, and a wave of magic power that made up her body flew into the air and flew towards the Great Holy Grail—then turned a corner halfway, and another wave from Sea House After the magic power of the direction merged, they flew to the other side of Liudong Temple.

That was Saber Alter, but why did he turn a blind eye to the Great Holy Grail and himself? In that position, it should be Kiritsugu, Maiya and... Illya? !

Irisviel realized that she had overlooked something, because the daughter of the future appeared in front of her safe and sound, and revealed that she had won the Holy Grail War and came here only to save the future... But what about herself?

After spending several Command Seals, and sometimes saving Kiritsugu even at the expense of being injured, how could she ignore herself who was bound to disappear as the "Holy Grail Vessel"?

Kiritsugu wants to obtain the Holy Grail to save the world, but before that, Irisviel will sacrifice herself for becoming the Holy Grail. Regarding this unsolvable problem, Irisviel has already reached a consensus with Kiritsugu, and she is willing to fight for his ideal. Sacrifice yourself—but Illya would never agree!

She couldn't change the thinking of her "parents", so she had to disturb this from the source - she became the Holy Grail.

"No, that's not something you should carry..." Irisviel said in a low voice, pushing Lin Hao's wheelchair and hurried towards that direction.

15:24:50

The huge black Holy Grail rises from the ground and destroys the entire Liudong Temple. The life and death of the Tohsaka and Kenneth camps that are fighting inside are uncertain. Saber Alter and Saber Lily leave the field. The victory of this Holy Grail War is about to be won. The whole world is about to be saved.

Compared with those things, the fact that the self-proclaimed "Winter Maiden" suddenly turned into a beautiful golden cup in front of him was obviously more important.

"Caster?" Even Emiya Kiritsugu, who is always calm, trembled uncontrollably at this moment. He seemed to have thought of a certain guess, but this guess was dismissed by himself before it took shape. No, it's impossible. , there is no such reason, Kiritsugu tried to convince himself.

"Oh! Damn it!" The golden cup made Caster's voice that he didn't know who was complaining to: "Do you want to exit so neatly?"

"Hmph... This is really a wonderful experience..." Under the watchful eyes of Kiritsugu, Maiya and Amir, the golden cup floated up and began to emit a strong white light.

The next moment, the girl Caster, still in the dress of the sky, reappeared in front of them.

"Caster, who is this?" Kiritsugu frowned.

The girl's original crimson dress turned into a complete pitch black after turning into a cup and back again, only the five rubies on the row of hollows on her chest were still bright red.

"You're good at deception." Caster squinted at Kiritsugu, "It's obvious that there is something wrong with the Holy Grail."

"I'm asking you." Kiritsugu seemed to be unable to think of how to ask for a moment: "Why did you replace Eli as the Holy Grail vessel?"

"What kind of joke are you talking about?" Caster raised his chin: "Since the Holy Maiden of Winter, every android has been a replacement for the Holy Grail, otherwise, if the research was started after the third war, it would be a mere six Can such a good effect be achieved in ten years?"

Sounds plausible...

Originally, Kiritsugu's suspicion was almost dispelled by Caster, but Aliceviel, who rushed over and grabbed Caster's arm and kept calling "Illya", made her efforts completely in vain.

Speaking of which, all kinds of clues have been revealed all the time, but he never thought about it.

In fact, Illya had already exposed her flaws from the very beginning. If she was really the Holy Maiden of Winter, after introducing herself, she should have waited for Kiritsugu to comprehend the meaning on her own, instead of kicking this burden right away. She would be so direct and planned to do her best The reason for misleading Kiritsugu.

As for getting along with her during this time, she used Lin Hao to create an image of a mage-hating killer, making it even more difficult for people to see through, especially Ai Li obviously knew this, but she didn't realize it. This was a serious mistake.

"When I said to save as many magicians as possible, didn't you include yourself?" Caster, no, Illya explained to Irisviel over there, because she collected five souls, The fluctuation of magic power of the child could no longer be concealed, and he had to confess his identity and purpose to his "parents".

"I'm different from you, Mom," Illya refused to hand over her soul: "Servant is just the incarnation of heroic spirits, even if one disappears, it will have no effect on the main body, and when she saw me saving you when she read the memory, she will definitely Very happy."

"This..." Kiritsugu could clearly see that Irisviel just couldn't accept it emotionally, but she was convinced in principle.

"The King of Heroes and the King of Conquerors haven't disappeared yet, but they won't be able to come out for the time being," Ilya pointed to herself and patted Emil's head next to her: "I'll take her away later, don't worry about that dark Great Holy Grail, take this opportunity to make a wish, don’t pay attention to what it says, just make sure there are no loopholes in your wish.”

"Emm...together..." Emil said with her head raised.

"No!" Kiritsugu and Irisviel said in unison, Kiritsugu looked at his wife and motioned for her to speak first.

"If you just leave like this, what will Xiao Hao do?" Alice Viel pointed to the girl from Country C who was in a wheelchair beside her: "If you can show up early, you must be able to postpone your departure. Let her settle down before leaving."

"Uh, if she made a wish to bear all the misfortunes in the world, she would disappear in the original time and space like me, so—hmm." Illya suddenly shut up in the middle of speaking, and Irisviel really showed her thin eyebrows and drooped again. , his face turned pale, as if he was about to cry.

"Although it's nothing to Servnt, but in terms of war, we ultimately relied on the sacrifices of women and children to achieve victory, which is unacceptable." Feeling that the scene was a bit chaotic, Kiritsugu had no choice but to explain his reasons for refusing .

"Let's continue fighting," Lin Hao, who was in a wheelchair, raised his right hand and said, "If you lose Caster, I will use the command spell to bring you back to ensure that the Holy Grail will not fall into the hands of others. "

"Hmm..." Yi Liya looked at Lin Hao, as if she was thinking about something, and answered after a while: "Okay."
