Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Li Shuwen merely turned his body slightly to dodge the two samurai swords that were flying towards him.

【The power of mind and skill reaches the heights of Mount Tai】

Li Shuwen easily sensed that in the air, incredibly fine threads were pulling at the flying silver samurai sword, attacking it from behind.

Shirou Emiya once again wielded two identical katana swords.

The space around Li Shuwen, who was wielding his fists with great force, was filled with his own aura and belonged entirely to him.

He could sense everything around him, let alone the blade flying from behind.

Li Shuwen suddenly stomped on the ground, spun in the air, and dodged the first blade that came flying from behind him.

Meanwhile, Shirou Emiya swung one of his katana toward Li Shuwen.

Li Shuwen's eyes suddenly shifted, and he swung his fist in the air, deflecting the samurai sword that was flying towards him.

【Shin Skill Yellow River Crossing】

A second blade flew from behind Li Shuwen.

Emiya Shirou then threw out a second katana.

While still spinning in the air, Li Shuwen easily caught the second katana flying from behind him. He threw it at the katana flying in front of him and landed steadily on the ground, his body moving forward without any hesitation.

The two samurai swords collided and bounced away again.

At that very moment, just as Li Shuwen was about to approach him, two more samurai swords appeared in Emiya Shirou's hands.

[To distinguish the name from the heavens]

The two katana crossed once more, and Shirou Emiya sped across the ground towards Li Shuwen, who was surging towards him.

At this moment, the samurai swords that had been deflected or sped away by Li Shuwen returned to his side under the pull of the silk threads.

Two heroes, destined to part ways.

Faced with the swinging twin blades, Li Shuwen had no room to dodge at that moment.

However, he never intended to dodge in the first place.

"call--!"

Li Shuwen let out a slight breath, his eyes sharpening once again.

His fists clenched tightly, and he kept recalling his skills in his mind.

A white cyclone, visible to the naked eye, is generated around it.

There is no room for outsiders to intervene here.

Something with room for maneuver cannot be called a divine realm.

[Breath control, concentration, footwork]

[The one and only punch that reached the realm of the gods]

This is a being standing atop the sacred peak, seated on a divine throne.

No second hits.

An unavoidable attack and a punch that requires no second strike meet at this moment.

Death once again haunted Shirou Emiya's mind.

This attack, which reached the realm of the gods, was something that Shirou Emiya could not stop no matter what.

only------

Li Shuwen had no idea what kind of samurai sword Emiya Shirou wielded.

A single, decisive blow—[Muramasa]

Those were swords carrying a curse that could instantly kill a person, with no antidote; the moment the curse was lifted, the person would die.

Instead of using the more convenient reverse blades with their inherent mutual attraction to perform the Crane Wing Triple Strike, Emiya Shirou used the ever-changing threads to manipulate Murasame into performing this pseudo-Crane Wing Triple Strike, which was extremely easy to break.

Its purpose is naturally not just to restrict Li Shuwen's movements.

Just as Shirou Emiya's blade was about to reach Li Shuwen's chest.

Just as Li Shuwen's fist was about to strike Emiya Shirou's heart.

"[Fantasy Collapse] ————!"

Chapter 594 The Ideal World

"Hello, I've heard of you. You are the young magician, Tohsaka, who, despite being expected by the United Nations to become involved with an armed group in the Middle East."

Leo looked at Rin Tohsaka, who was walking over with her Servant, and greeted her very politely, seemingly unconcerned about the fact that Rin Tohsaka, as a member of the resistance organization, had always been against him.

"Ah, I know you too, the next head of the Xavi family—Leonardo Vistario Xavi."

Rin Tohsaka responded to Leo with a curt tone, as she harbored no goodwill towards the Harvey family, who had always dominated everything.

"It seems you participated in this Holy Grail War with the intention of preventing me from winning, and you came here to test the strength of my Servants."

Leo seemed to understand Rin Tohsaka's thoughts with great ease, and stated Rin's purpose for coming in a declarative tone.

Apart from a white-haired boy who suddenly appeared, and a chestnut-haired girl who seemed very ordinary but had a unique personality in every way.

Leo knows most of the people.

It wasn't that Leo had met these people involved in the Holy Grail War, but rather that as the next head of the Harvey family, Leo had undergone a rigorous and careful elite education since childhood.

He has a thorough understanding of the situation and information in countries all over the world.

As for Rin Tohsaka, who was a significant force within the resistance organization, Leo had naturally collected her information and memorized it.

As the next head of the family, Leo possesses an exceptional ability to see into the hearts of others.

It was almost effortless to deduce why Rin Tohsaka participated in this Holy Grail War, and why she came even though she knew she wasn't a contender.

"Wow! No wonder he's Harvey's successor; his predictions about others are so accurate!"

Rin Tohsaka's eyebrows twitched slightly. Although these were things that were easy to figure out, Rin Tohsaka hated the feeling of being seen through by others.

After all, they will always be enemies, especially since they are already enemies on Earth. No matter how you look at it, Rin Tohsaka would never want to form an alliance with Leo.

Basically, only Rin Tohsaka came here for the purpose of gathering intelligence.

But the fact that Leo could come up with this so quickly shows that his analytical abilities as the next leader are absolutely outstanding.

At least, none of the participants in this Holy Grail War can compare to Leo.

"But unfortunately, everything you do is in vain. This is the will of Heaven. In any case, the final victor of this Holy Grail War will only be me—"

Leo looked at Rin Tohsaka, who was standing not far in front of him, with a pitying gaze.

It seems that Rin Tohsaka is saddened by her inevitable failure.

"It's absolutely infuriating!"

Seeing Leo's attitude, Rin Tohsaka's face was filled with extreme disgust.

She didn't believe in any divine mandate; otherwise, she wouldn't have resisted the control of Western European tycoons.

"Speaking of divine decree, all you're really doing is expounding on your distorted theory of Western European tycoon domination!!!"

“Ms. Tohsaka, this is not about domination, but about the efficient allocation of resources given the current limited resources.”

Leo, facing the somewhat agitated Rin Tohsaka, remained calm and gentle, like a refined and elegant monarch, as he explained his theory.

"Hmph! A society that monopolizes resources and even controls life and death—"

"A world where newborn children can starve to death without a care in the world—"

"Human beings who can plan out their lives ten years from now, right up until their deathbed—"

"If this is not domination, then what is?"

Rin Tohsaka dismissed Leo's words with disdain; she had long seen through the Harvey family's so-called resource allocation.

Such a society is deformed, has no future whatsoever, is a society that is completely forbidden and devoid of any hope.

Everyday food, classes, and future career are planned out from the moment of birth.

Humans are as if they have no thoughts of their own, and are completely at the mercy of others.

“Ms. Tohsaka, I think you should understand that the world’s resources are already limited. If we don’t manage the existing resources, humanity will perish in a very short time.”

"And war will only accelerate this process. Shouldn't people be pursuing a more stable world?"

Leo shook his head slightly, disagreeing with Rin Tohsaka's assessment of their actions.

Western European tycoons did not ascend to their positions for the sake of domination, but for the continuation of humanity and to explore new and changing paths before the world stagnates.

What Leo needs to do is stop repeating the same unchanging human practices before exploring new and changing paths.

From the very beginning, Leo understood that he would become the king of this world and lead it forward.

"A peaceful world? Don't be ridiculous!"

“I know Harvey’s city well; it’s a stable world where the lives of the social classes are guaranteed and there are no elements of unrest.”

"I can't go anywhere, there's no paradise I need to go to."

"But there is no future there, neither hope nor happiness; people are merely existing."

"It's laughable! Humans should have the right to know what they want to know, and the right to choose how they want to live!"

With a cold laugh, Rin Tohsaka retorted to Leo with hostility.

"Ms. Tohsaka, it's because you are strong that you have your own way of living. You can't expect everyone to be as strong as you."

"I----"

Rin Tohsaka wanted to refute, but didn't know how to say it.

"The happiness you speak of is too narrow. To save humanity, we must first abandon humanity. A ruler is necessary."

"And not everyone can be like you, possessing this power while also being able to restrain themselves."

"Human desires are endless. Can you be sure that the people in the resistance are truly fighting against Western European tycoons, and not because of their own desire for wealth?"
