However, now that only Saber remains in the Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail will inevitably reveal itself, for whatever reason...
"Boom-boom-"
Two gunshots rang out from the light screen, attracting the attention of the audience outside the screen. At this point, the only person still using a gun was naturally our Emiya Kiritsugu.
But... weren't they fleeing for their lives on the outskirts of Fuyuki City? And who is Kiritsugu Emiya fighting now? He's fired two Origin Bullets in quick succession!
That's right. Since the Origin Bullet has already appeared once, many viewers with special abilities can identify it as Kiritsugu Emiya's Mystic Code, the Origin Bullet, just by hearing it!
The camera then shifts to inside a damaged building.
Under the watchful eyes of the audience outside the video, the endless insects slowly dispersed, and the old insect once again stood in the same place as if nothing had happened.
He leaned on his cane, a wicked smile on his face as he looked at Kiritsugu Emiya. His withered body looked incredibly thin and disgusting.
Just seeing this person is enough to send the audience's blood pressure soaring. Wherever he is, nothing good ever happens!
Although judging from his previous performance, Kiritsugu Emiya is not a good person, but even if Kiritsugu Emiya is bad, he is still better than the old bug!
On the other side, Kiritsugu Emiya was already covered in wounds. If it weren't for his family's magic, Time Control, he would be dead by now.
Kiritsugu Emiya looked extremely disheveled, even more so than when he fought Kenneth. Half of his body had been eaten away by the demonic insects, and blood was seeping from his wounds.
Even so, he still pointed the gun loaded with Origin Bullets at the old bug in front of him with his left hand.
The old bug and Emiya Kiritsugu are fighting? I didn't expect them to fight at this time.
Indeed, the old man needs to turn Irisviel into the Holy Grail, and Kiritsugu Emiya will naturally not let him succeed, so it is reasonable for the two to fight here.
However, to the surprise of the viewers outside the light screen, Kiritsugu Emiya seemed to be completely suppressed, and even his trump card, the Origin Bullet, could not harm the old bug in front of him!
Wasn't the Origin Bullet supposed to be the nemesis of magicians? Shouldn't any magician be unable to withstand that attack? But now...
"Oh dear, you're such an old man, you can't keep up with the speed of a young person. I was just a hair's breadth away from 'taking care of' you."
With words that sounded like sarcasm, the old bug mercilessly mocked his righteous ally, saying that even if Kiritsugu Emiya was known as the world's number one magician killer, he would not be a match for him.
Origin Bullet? Indeed, that's a magical weapon that's like a mage's nemesis, but... it has to hit the target first.
As a magician with arguably the best survival skills, Old Bug wouldn't be as foolish as Kenneth to try and withstand the Origin Bomb with his body or magic.
The old insect's true form is not this withered and powerless body, but... an insect!
It is one of countless insects flying everywhere. Unless Kiritsugu Emiya can find the location of its true form, using the Primal Bullet will be meaningless.
Kiritsugu Emiya stared intently at the old insect. "Machiri... Zouken Matou, a figure from five hundred years ago, is he still alive?"
"Due to the opponent's characteristics, the Origin Missile is not very useful, and the Time Control system has limited effectiveness. Irisviel is right behind us; this is a dead end..."
Having exhausted all means, Kiritsugu Emiya desperately realized that his only option was to use the Command Seals on his arm to summon Saber from the front lines to defend him. With Saber's abilities, she could easily annihilate the flying insects in front of her with a single blow!
So... would Kiritsugu Emiya do that?
The answer is... no!
Although the situation on the front lines is unclear, Saber's combat prowess makes her an indispensable asset. The threat posed by the Outer Gods is too great; if she were to be released from Fuyuki City, humanity would surely be destroyed!
Therefore, even if he and Irisviel die here, Saber must not be allowed to leave the front lines.
This is Kiritsugu Emiya's resolve. Perhaps under Saber's protection, even if the Outer Gods truly destroy civilization, he and Irisviel might still have a sliver of a chance to survive. However, Kiritsugu Emiya's ideals destined him to live and die with this world.
However, Zouken Matou, with an evil smile on his face, spoke up at that moment: "The world's strongest magician killer, Kiritsugu Emiya, why did you participate in this Holy Grail War?"
Kiritsugu Emiya: "...What do you want to say?"
As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently swept across the surroundings, clearly searching for a possible turning point. Taking advantage of the magician's carelessness to kill him was a tactic that Kiritsugu Emiya often used!
Magicians are generally quite arrogant, so this trick rarely works, but it's unlikely to be very effective against the old bug.
Zouken Matou chuckled and said, "I've heard that your long-held ideal is to be a champion of justice and to save this world from evil, right?"
Emiya Kiritsugu's expression froze and he remained silent, but it was obvious that he was confused and wary of the fact that Matou Zouken knew all these secrets.
Matou Zouken: "It seems that the information I received was indeed correct. I was really surprised that there was such a person as you. On the one hand, you do cruel and ruthless things, but on the other hand, you want to be a partner of justice and even want to save the world. You are a man who really makes me interested."
"Hehehe~~"
With a smile on his face, Zouken Matou's expression became even more 'amiable'. He genuinely found the idea of a partner of justice and the ideal of saving the world very interesting, especially when such an ideal belonged to a cold-blooded magician killer.
When this man becomes twisted, tormented, and disillusioned in pursuit of his ideals and beliefs.
Ah... there's nothing more interesting in the world than this.
Then, Zouken Matou said with malice, "Kiritsugu Emiya, do you know the truth about the Holy Grail War? Why would that Caster rather go to great lengths to take a Holy Grail from Archer than take it from the Einzbern behind you?"
How could Kiritsugu Emiya not know? He genuinely didn't know before, but... Alicia told him everything, including the fact that the Holy Grail had been corrupted!
However, he did not speak, but continued to listen to what Zouken Matou had to say next.
Zouken Matou didn't wait for Kiritsugu Emiya's reply, but continued maliciously, "You want to save the world with the Holy Grail, right? It's just a pity that the essence of the Holy Grail is no different from that evil god that appeared on the Fuyuki Bridge!"
This time, Emiya Kiritsugu's expression finally changed, revealing a hint of astonishment: "What!?"
He really didn't know that. Although he knew that the Holy Grail was in trouble, he had no idea what the specific reason was or what would happen to the corrupted Holy Grail.
Seeing this, Zouken Matou's smile grew even more sinister and malicious: "An endless curse, the greatest evil in this world, this is the essence of the Holy Grail, this is the Holy Grail you have been so painstakingly pursuing! Kiritsugu Emiya!"
"As the representative of the Einzbern family, are you unaware that during the last Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family violated regulations by summoning Avengers who did not belong to the normal Holy Grail War?"
"I know very well that the Avenger-class Servant is none other than Angra Mainyu, who represents all the evil in this world!"
"After he left the stage, the curse that symbolized evil was absorbed by the Holy Grail, hahaha... The Holy Grail now has absolutely nothing to do with the word 'justice'."
As he finished speaking, a hint of anticipation appeared in Zouken Matou's eyes. He looked forward to Kiritsugu Emiya's breakdown and pain upon learning the truth; there was nothing more interesting in the world than that.
However... to his surprise, Kiritsugu Emiya showed no signs of collapse; he was simply surprised and incredulous that such a thing had happened in the previous Holy Grail War.
Kiritsugu Emiya was incredibly grateful that he had obtained this information beforehand; otherwise... if those around him had died because of it, Kiritsugu Emiya might have truly collapsed as the old insect had predicted.

Chapter 85 Abandon your justice, Kiritsugu Emiya!
Light screen image bullet comments——
It's no secret that the Holy Grail has been corrupted; after all, when Solomon, that freak with future vision, appeared, there was nothing in the entire Holy Grail War that he didn't know.
However... Angolan Manu, the chief dark god in ancient Persian mythology, originates from Zoroastrianism, is the supreme god of evil, the nemesis of Ahura Mazda, the god of good in Zoroastrianism, the source of all evil and darkness, and dwells in the abyss.
Despite being given the title of the evil of this world, Angra Mainyu is actually just an ordinary young man. His strength is definitely among the weakest of the Servants, otherwise he wouldn't have been defeated so easily in the Third Holy Grail War.
Surprisingly, the Holy Grail was corrupted into that state because of this very person.
Bishop of Destiny: "Angola Mainyu, the evil of this world, though not strong, has corrupted the Holy Grail by his own power, causing it to become like this. It's getting more and more interesting."
Since Alicia also needs the Holy Grail and cannot obtain it from Solomon, the only option left is Irisviel.
However... once the Holy Grail appears, that woman's life will come to an end. Will Alicia choose to sacrifice Irisviel? The answer is undoubtedly...
Eriri: "This is outrageous! What happened to the all-powerful wish-granting machine? It got contaminated so easily. The after-sales service of the Holy Grail is terrible."
There are so many things I want to complain about. I initially thought the Holy Grail was some kind of high-class artifact, but it turns out it's just a flawed wish-granting machine, not even as good as Gilgamesh's treasure vault.
Conan: "Actually, Angola Manu is quite a powerful being in terms of his name. He is at least a god-level figure, after all, he is Ahura Mazda's nemesis."
However, his identity is indeed somewhat outrageous. An ordinary person inexplicably became the nominal main god and the evil of this world. It is understandable that he is not very strong.
.........
The light screen image—has already been reduced to ruins under the oppressive power of the Outer God.
The old insect was staring at Kiritsugu Emiya when, after a brief silence, the old insect finally spoke.
He said, "Emiya Kiritsugu! You seem completely uninterested in what I'm saying. What's wrong... Could it be that the information was wrong, and your ideal isn't for justice, but... for yourself?"
Zouken Matou was quite disappointed that he didn't get to see Kiritsugu Emiya break down. He had originally thought that Kiritsugu Emiya would break down in tears and let out a desperate scream.
But now it seems... reality is far different from his guess. Is it that Kiritsugu Emiya's will is different from ordinary people, or... he already knew this information?
The old insect was completely baffled.
"Boom~~"
In the distance, Alicia's companion Honkai Beast was still fighting against the Outer God, and the ground trembled.
The old insect snapped out of its reverie, twisted its neck, and gave Kiritsugu Emiya a malicious grin, saying, "It seems there's not much time left. This city is almost completely destroyed. Now, only a few of us are left alive, Kiritsugu Emiya..."
"Then as an ally of justice, it is only right that you save this old man. As long as you hand over your wife Einzbern to me, I... can survive this cruel war."
The old bug said with a smile, without the slightest sense of shame, "This guy is rotten from beginning to end."
He then turned his gaze towards the Fuyuki Bridge and continued, "That woman is truly cruel. She dares to confront that evil god here without any restraint. Doesn't she know that there are still living people in Fuyuki City?"
"No wonder she's wanted. A woman who disrespects elders like that should be taught a lesson by the insects... just like that daughter of the Tohsaka family."
The old worm, with its empty eyes and disgusting expression, muttered to itself, causing the blood pressure of everyone inside and outside the light screen to spike.
Alicia is still fighting to protect the world at the Fuyuki Bridge; she is a true savior.
The old bug's words sounded like a complaint against her, a complaint about why the battlefield broke out in the city center and why she hadn't resolved the battle yet.
Although the viewers of the light screen video believed they already understood the old bug's wicked nature, these words still made them feel somewhat uneasy.
How is this any different from some of today's privileged people who enjoy the peace bought with the sacrifices of their ancestors while simultaneously mocking and ridiculing it?
Who does that old bug think he is, daring to talk about Alicia like that? Doesn't he fear death?
If Alicia hadn't been there, that trashy old bug would have been wiped out in no time.
At this moment, the audience outside the screen instantly became furious, expressing their anger towards the old bug in the video's barrage of comments.
Kiritsugu Emiya in the video was no exception; he stared at the old insect's withered body with a gloomy face, as if he could launch an attack at any moment.
However... compared to Alicia, he was more concerned about the latter... the daughter of the Tohsaka family, could it be... Tohsaka Sakura?
As a qualified magician assassin, Kiritsugu Emiya had already investigated all the information about Tokiomi Tohsaka, including his adopted daughter Sakura Tohsaka.
"Zouken Matou, you... do you have feelings for that girl...?"
Zouken Matou: "Hehehe~~ I did some tampering with her body. It was a small fragment of the Holy Grail that I had painstakingly collected from the last Holy Grail War. Now, Sakura... has perfectly accommodated that fragment, hasn't she?"
"Hahaha~~ I spent a year cultivating her. That child struggled painfully in my insect burrow for a year, but she didn't die. Instead, she successfully endured a transformation that even an adult couldn't withstand, and eventually became an excellent tool."
"As long as she is there, it doesn't matter if the magic power of the Servant after death is taken away by that Caster, because as long as she is there, and as long as that fragment in her body is there, the victory of this Holy Grail War will belong to the Matou family."
As one of the founders of the Fuyuki City Holy Grail System, Zouken Matou knows all the rules and everything about how the Holy Grail works. He went to great lengths to cultivate Sakura Matou in order to prevent any unforeseen circumstances from occurring.
This was originally in preparation for the next Holy Grail War, but now... the sudden appearance of the Outer God has disrupted his plans, so he has no choice but to let Sakura appear ahead of schedule. Anyway... with Sakura's outstanding talent, she has already completely fused the fragments of the Holy Grail.
