“That makes sense, but the problem is, even if I am indeed the person you are looking for, how can you be sure that I will agree to your request?” Shuoyue narrowed her golden eyes and met Wuming’s gaze.

No one knew better than the two of them how chaotic that universe was—a predatory planet that destroyed the solar system by abandoning its vanguard; a planetary vanguard left behind by an alien civilization that utterly destroyed a civilization from a thousand years ago, still sleeping on the moon; a lousy AI on the far side of the moon that was always thinking of causing trouble, and almost actually brought it to life; and a Master who summoned the exceptionally powerful Servant 'Awakener' to force others to fulfill his wishes, waiting at the end of the Crimson Throne...

Ah, even the new moon keeps its distance from that place. In a sense, Zabiko, who has experienced so many major events, and Gudako, who has suffered so much, are really the same. It's like hell.

I, Shuoyue, would rather die than jump off this cliff and take over this mess!

Shuoyue's gaze at Wuming clearly illustrated this point, and Wuming, having anticipated this, pointed at him and then at himself.

His meaning was simple—you think I don't know you?

It will soon make you exclaim, "It's so delicious!"

“When it teleported me, the ‘Destiny Compendium’ had already exhausted its power and disappeared, but you should still have it, right? That cheat code?” Wuming said. “I’ll leave its true nature for you to discover. I’ll only tell you one piece of information—the power it can absorb.”

"Oh?" Shuoyue's eyes lit up. "So that means..."

"In other words, it's an upgrade component." Wuming snapped his fingers. "The 'Destiny Compendium' we possess is incomplete. I'm not even sure if it will be completely finished after absorbing it—maybe it will have to absorb a Chaldea?"

"I hope you're just joking." Shuoyue's lips twitched. "But even so, I think the current Destiny Chart is pretty good. There's no need to throw yourself into that scary place..."

"Still pretending to refuse? Don't forget that you are me, and I am you. Some essential things will never change." Wuming said calmly. "Tell me, Shuoyue—if you have already obtained a body, and the true Holy Grail is right in front of you, what wish would you make?"

"Of course it is...it is..." Shuoyue opened her mouth, but found that her mind was blank.

Yes, his initial reason for joining the war was simply to survive.

If one has the most basic guarantee of 'survival,' then what should one pursue, and what should one dream of?

Looking at Shuoyue's increasingly bright golden eyes, Wuming revealed a smug smile: "That's right, we all have restless blood flowing in our veins."

"Would you give up the opportunity to travel to the Moon World, fight against many powerful enemies, and encounter countless companions?"

"Would you give up the opportunity to gain power and hand over the chance to become stronger to someone else?"

Faced with Wuming's cunning smile, Shuoyue found herself unable to utter a single "no."

Yes, what could he possibly hide from 'himself'?

The young man named 'Shuoyue' yearns for battle, for adventure, for seeing more things, and for appreciating more beautiful scenery.

The dangers to worry about are nothing more than dark clouds, howling storms, and raging thunder on the journey, but once you get through them, the scars they leave behind are also medals.

therefore--

"I accept your request!" Shuoyue stared at Wuming and said very seriously, "I swear in my own name—I will go to that world and reverse that future before the matter is settled!"

“Very good, then my journey has not been meaningless!” Wuming laughed, a hearty laugh.

The mythical regalia dissipated, revealing a magnificent moonlit spear in his hand. This time, he passed this most important possession, like a torch, to his successor.

"This is my whole life. Accept it, you who bear the name I once forgot—I am you, but I also firmly believe that you will not become me. Take my gift and take steps to farther places!"

[An important item named "Important Item" has been detected. Absorb it?]

The moment the spear was in hand, the Destiny Compendium emitted a cold, discreet notification.

Shuoyue did not reply immediately. He simply looked at Wuming, whose body was shimmering with golden light, then sheathed his spear and nodded emphatically: "Then, farewell, my other self."

"Wait, leave your imaginary shadow behind."

"???"

Although puzzled, Shuoyue still used the remaining imaginary magic to create an imaginary familiar and gave it to Wuming.

"Alright, you can get lost now." After getting what he wanted, Wuming waved his hand impatiently, signaling Shuoyue to get lost.

Wuming's actions completely ruined the farewell atmosphere. However, Shuoyue was not angry. Instead, she stepped forward and hugged Wuming before turning into light and disappearing into the depths of the Greater Grail.

A while after Shuoyue left, Wuming, who had been stiff, finally moved and sighed:

"I haven't felt this hug in so long, I almost couldn't bring myself to do it..."

The Mythical Mystic Code was donned once more, and this time, an aura far more powerful than when battling the new moon emanated from it:

"After hiding for so long, it's time for you to come out, all the evil in this world!"

"Or perhaps it's more appropriate to call you that? You are a fallen one who indirectly destroyed my world and followed in my footsteps!"

The black mud emerged once more from within the Greater Grail, its colossal shadow from the sea of ​​black mud nearly obscuring the brilliance of the mythical heroes.

The next moment, light and darkness collided violently.

Quantum recording fixed-band: The history of becoming a fixed-band remains unchanged even if interfered with from the past and future.

If you try to change history by moving from the "fixed zone" to the past, history will be forcibly restored to its original state as soon as you reach the "fixed zone".

The world of Wuming is about to enter the quantum fixed zone, which is why they hurriedly sent Wuming out to find someone to turn the tide.

Chapter 194 Beast Interlude: Miyu and Mumei's Farewell

Just like the interludes or fragments in every story, there are also additional stories in the past of 'Nameless'.

Human beings are evil.

It's unclear when she appeared, why she came into being, or why she became entangled with the eccentric and uninteresting Servant 'Nameless,' but in any case, the world where Nameless exists is thrown into chaos because of her. Her only Master, Zabiko, squats by Nameless's side every day, like a Pokémon Master waiting patiently by the grass with a Master Ball in hand. A certain rose-and-cheering female swordswoman even carries the Primal Flame and almost destroys the Rome she built in an attempt to drag her out.

Only Wuming knew that this beast was not just malicious. Maliciousness was only temporary and would only weaken with use. Its eyes, peering out from the shadows, flowed with emotions that Wuming was unaware of.

If I had to describe it, it would be like observing a fruit about to ripen, appreciating the world's prosperity while gazing longingly at its decline.

Ah, yes, the human evil that terrifies and frightens countless people is hidden in the shadow of Wuming, hidden in the imaginary world that is beyond the reach of the present world.

Now, it too has left with Wuming, casting a greedy gaze toward this new timeline.

"The destruction of [the previous entity] is inevitable, therefore I did not expose you." Clad in mythical attire, Wuming wielded twin swords, shattering the colossal black shadow. "But this place is different. That man carries the hopes of an entire world!"

His gaze sharpened, and he brought his twin blades down.

"Therefore, we absolutely cannot let you ruin it!"

Reaching the pinnacle of the Grand Order, a power as vast as a god-slaying force descended, a height that even the Moon Goddess, wielding the Heaven's Cup, could not reach. The reason why Wuming did not use his full strength in the battle against the Moon Goddess was because he had already foreseen its arrival!

"You have already devoured the sealed Angra Mainyu, haven't you? That harmless 'all the evil of this world' was just a facade. After I and Sakugetsu have settled our differences and I leave, you will take over the Greater Grail and use it as a foundation to awaken and construct a physical body by abducting the souls of the people of Fuyuki City—yes, just like what Ayaka Sajou did!"

The shadowy figure writhed, and even though it had no face, it still carried a strong sense of mockery.

Yes, that's my goal.

But what can you do? Kill me?

Can you kill me?

The black mud swayed and mocked, casting an overwhelming shadow upon the mythical hero.

The hero's body is slowly dissipating, the price for entrusting the future to another. As the anchor connecting the past and the future, if he does not disappear, the possibility of "collapse" will always exist.

Only when we realize that the person from the past has completely disappeared will the gears of fate start turning again.

“Indeed, I do not have the power to completely kill you right now,” Wuming admitted, but then immediately picked up an object from his hand.

That was the familiar from the Imaginary Number that he had Shuoyue leave behind.

“But—” Grinning at the uneasy black mud, Wuming retracted the Imaginary Number Shadow and charged forward with his sword.

"I will build you into my shadow!"

The slender gun barrel, with its exquisite design, is a work of art. Dark blue filaments cling to it, reflecting a crystal blue luster when exposed to light.

Shuoyue played with the jewel-like spear. After Wuming transferred ownership of it, he had come to understand the terrifying nature of this weapon.

This gun is a mythical creation based on an entire Moon Spirit Crystal, fused with the power of many Heroic Spirits. This is why Nameless can use the abilities of different Heroic Spirits to fight enemies, just like Grand Zi-O.

With it, one possesses the power of all the heroic spirits within.

[An important item named "Important Item" has been detected. Absorb it?]

[An important item named "Important Item" has been detected. Absorb it?]

【detected……】

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Shuoyue covered her forehead, feeling like her head was about to be turned upside down by the Destiny Chart.

However, judging from the continuous notification sounds from the Destiny Compendium, the importance of the components is evident.

[Instructions received, absorption initiated, estimated time 24 hours, about to enter upgrade phase]

The Compendium of Fate lost its voice, and the Moon Spirit Spear vanished inch by inch, as if it had never existed in this world.

“Next… it’s time to deal with the aftermath.” Shuoyue looked up and saw the blond, blue-eyed Knight King slowly walking towards him, followed by Kiritsugu Emiya, Irisviel, and Waver Velvet.

They are the survivors of this Holy Grail War.

Seven Masters, seven Servants, and a total of twenty-four members including those who assist in the battle.

Inside the tranquil temple, the flowing moonlight reflected only seven faint shadows...

"Wait."

The imaginary space opened up, and Wuming, looking somewhat disheveled, tumbled out, saying irritably, "You bastard, you really didn't wait for me."

Replacing Yan Ye, who was far away at home in Chancheng, the eighth figure stood shoulder to shoulder with the others who were on high alert.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just a slime on the street right now."

In conclusion, Wuming has resigned, and this Holy Grail War is now completely over.

"Is it over...?" Even after hearing Shuoyue's story, she still felt a sense of unreality.

Looking at Wuming sitting with Shuoyue like a brother, her expression was incredibly strange.

Just a few minutes ago you were fighting to the death, and now you're sitting together like brothers... Are you playing me?

"Anyway, things happened one after another, and that's how it turned out." Shuoyue looked at the group of people who hadn't quite adjusted yet, raised an eyebrow, and said bluntly, "What's going on? The Holy Grail War is over. Everyone go home and find your own mothers. Nobody wants to pursue the Greater Grail anymore, right?"

How could I possibly pursue something like that?

Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel exchanged a glance and resolutely shook their heads.

I have already obtained the most precious treasure.

Weber clutched his pounding heart, his gaze resolute.

The other groups had already left halfway through, so under Shuoyue's ambiguous gaze, everyone said goodbye to them and left.

Needless to say, the group's next move will be to banish or even hunt them down if they fail to obtain the Greater Grail. To prevent Ilya from suffering a terrible fate, they must return to Winter City as quickly as possible and rescue the last member of their family.
