Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

773. [Type-Moon Ends] The End, Return to Mythology

Perhaps the people of this world will forever remember that golden tooth that stretched across the sky, tore through the firmament, and finally reached the depths of the universe.

The light pierced the sky, tearing apart the stars, and then painted the entire Milky Way into a dazzling golden radiance.

From Earth's perspective, the night will no longer be pure black; a golden road will stretch from Earth to the infinite stars.

This is what a punch delivered with 100% Saint Seiya power looks like—if you call it a Galactic Explosion, it really could blow up the galaxy!

Tsugumi killed Aphrodite in one blow, without any difficulty or suspense; it was simply a matter of course.

Gazing at the dazzling and magnificent golden starry sky, Tsurugi slowly lowered her hand and gently exhaled.

Although I hate Lucifer for making sarcastic remarks, he does have some truth to what he says.

I am still far too much for this world.

His control over the Type-Moon universe was so strong that he possessed an immense amount of power, and—his temperament was far from patient.

Although he came here simply to shoot targets, he has to admit that the game ultimately turned out to be quite boring for him.

As for the spread of nihilism that Lucifer mentioned...

That's certainly true, isn't it?

Even with so many deaths and so many innocent people sacrificed, he felt no emotion whatsoever.

After all, he could bring them back to life in the next instant—how could he possibly cherish such an outcome?

When people have an unlimited number of opportunities to try and make mistakes, they will naturally never cherish any loss or error. When you inevitably realize that you don't have to bear many consequences, then responsibility becomes a luxury for you.

He stood before Chiron, deliberately sparing the life of this world's centaur sage. Yet, looking at Chiron's complex expression, Tsugumi couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

“I’m not entirely the Origrotes you know,” Tsugumi said quietly.

“I am him, but he is not necessarily me, however... you can also see him as me.”

When the Thrush descended, the world's understanding of him was unified and certain. When the myth was completely fixed, his existence in Greece had already experienced all of this.

"Really? That's good." Chiron smiled.

"You've already granted me one wish, what more could I ask for?"

In any world, Chiron would feel sorrow and helplessness at the passing of his chief disciple, but now, the fact he has confirmed makes him happy.

Origrotes is Karel, and he is the one standing before us, which means that he has not truly died.

The glittering gem did not lose its brilliance due to the gods' capricious actions; on the contrary, it became a unique and dazzling star.

Although, well—there might be a tiny bit of a crooked growth, overall, at least it still blossomed, didn't it?

As a teacher, he already felt very fulfilled.

"Really?" Tsugumi blinked, looking at Chiron with a smile.

"Then I'm relieved, teacher. But do you still want to fulfill your wish? I can help you and grant you immortality again."

Chiron answered the call to the mortal world, his desire being to regain the immortality he had painfully given up due to infection with Hydra venom—but not to ascend to godhood again, nor out of fear of death.

His wish stemmed simply from a desire to reclaim the unique trait he had received from his parents.

"Then I shall accept your offer without hesitation," Chiron said with a smile.

Tsuruga paused for a moment, then nodded slightly to Chiron and smiled.

"Alright, it's all settled. From today onwards, Chiron-sensei, you will no longer be summoned by the Holy Grail War. When you return, you will revert to your divine form and return to the Inner Sea of ​​Stars."

Chiron had already sensed this change; in fact, his spirit foundation was gradually dissipating because it was no longer anchored to the Throne of Heroes.

Having fulfilled his wish, Chiron was naturally without regret and would not disappear again. However, due to the clairvoyance he gained from his ascension to godhood, he gave Tsurugi a slightly strange expression.

“Oh, right, I forgot to mention something. Origrotes, what kind of impact did your third incarnation have? Why do I feel at this moment that... Hercules has taken on a strange appearance?”

Huh? That looks strange.

Tsugumi paused for a moment, then, like Chiron, he saw that strange future.

It was still the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City of some other world. The target, Goldpick, went to the Einzbern family to cause trouble, and then, naturally, used the Chains of Heaven to easily defeat that sea monster.

However, unlike the others, Hercules, who should have been killed by the Chains of Heaven, suddenly regained his senses as if struck by a divine inspiration just before Ilya was about to be killed, and then activated a Noble Phantasm that should not have existed.

"Karl, my dearest friend, please help me!!!"

A beep, a prayer of divine blessing from Hercules is offered to you.

"Uh—in the name of Karl El, Hercules, I have heard your plea!"

bite!!!!

Tsurugi agreed, and the next second, a divine blessing ray of light crossed the boundary. Hercules' skin was now white, his hair completely shaved, and two blood-red lines appeared on his body...

Hiss... He gasped. What was going on? Were these all fan-made characters collaborating across different genres?

Although no one knew what had happened, the annoying Elbow King was thoroughly insulted by White-skinned Hai in the next moment.

"Ah, maybe it's just the season," Tsugumi casually remarked, then watched Chiron leave.

Hmmmm, when I get back, I'll find a chance to see my teacher.

Thinking this, Tsugumi reached out and pulled the other person over.

"B-Big Boss!!!" Greentwood stood trembling in front of Tsurugi. He thought the person in front of him was already an incredible super boss, but he didn't expect him to be this big!

Holy crap, that was a genuine Saint Seiya skill from the original manga, right? One punch cleared a path through his entire galaxy! Didn't the Counter Force react? Were Alaya and Gaia scared out of their wits?

Oh, that makes sense. After all, no matter how much the Moon's fighting power grows, it still can't avoid being slowed down by the Saint Seiya.

What's more, the person in front of us is disguised as Superman M...

"You did well, I want to reward you, I want to make you truly successful, to completely mold you!" Dongjiang was extremely generous at this moment, patting his junior, a transmigrator, on the shoulder and laughing.

"Make a wish, and I can help you fulfill most of them."

Greentwood's throat moved with difficulty. After thinking for a long time, he spoke his wish.

"I, boss, want a way to freely return to my home world. Can you do that?"

"Oh? Is that so? You're a kind-hearted young man, I admire you!" Tsurugi said approvingly after hearing his wish.

"No problem, it's very simple! As a reward, I'll help you out again."

After saying that, he directly injected a 'setting' into Greenwood's system. In the future, he would throw some useless gadgets at him as mission rewards—which could be considered as giving his system a new father.

"Thank you so much, boss!!!" Greentwood exclaimed, tears welling in his eyes.

"Huh? What did you call me?" Dongjiang's eyes widened. "Before I changed your system, you called me 'boss,' and I didn't care! Now that I'm the mastermind behind your system, what do you call me?"

"Father, my dear father!!!"

Without hesitation, the kid knelt down and hugged Dongjiang's leg, essentially acknowledging him as his father.

"You're not stupid, are you!"

Tsurugi laughed happily, then grabbed him and searched the world according to his memories, finally throwing him into it. If he wanted to leave or acquire anything in the future, he could simply contact Tsurugi through his system.

After finishing this matter, Tsurugi immediately performed a miracle, reviving all those who had been destroyed and slaughtered by Aphrodite's capricious and reckless actions.

Endless rays of light streamed down from the dark clouds, and countless beams of holy light enveloped the souls of the dead, filling the bodies that Dongjiang had reconstructed for them. They opened their eyes in a daze, witnessing their resurrection.

Such a large-scale resurrection would be an indescribable miracle for others, but for Tsurugi at this moment, it was just a trivial matter.

Ugh—I just don't know why, when he resurrected that Greek guy, he saw a white-haired little girl jump out and call him son?

As for the buildings, Tsurugi was too lazy to deal with them, leaving it to Gaia and Alaya to handle. These two, who had been feigning death the whole time, crawled out like lackeys, patting their chests and guaranteeing that the matter was in their hands.

If all else fails, I'll just bring the whole world under my control.

Then, he went to a ruin. Amakusa Shiro hadn't died from Aphrodite's area-of-effect attack; he was kneeling before a broken cross of Jesus amidst the ruins. Only when Tsugumi arrived did he murmur a question.

"Holy Lord, before I go to hell, can you tell me why...why I cannot take all the good in the world into my hands?"

He hated humanity, yet he also deeply loved it. During the Shimabara Rebellion, he witnessed just how despicable, base, and cruelly powerful humanity could become. Even towards their own kind, they acted this way. If it were people of different skin color and culture, to what extent would human cruelty be amplified?

The Second World War he witnessed after being born into the flesh further solidified his belief, leading him to conclude that it was necessary to use the miracle of the Third Magic to eliminate the divisions among all humanity and create a utopian paradise where everyone could live happily in a world of unlimited resources.

1053>>>>

“Because even your master doesn’t have such extravagant ideas.” Tsugumi sat down beside him, looking at the guy, and gave a rare, good-natured assessment.

Although he and the warden seem to be shortcut-seekers who don't save people one by one but only intend to save the "human" race, Tsugumi doesn't reject his idea—it's just that his power is insufficient, and even if he obtains the Greater Grail and makes a wish, he can't control what happens next.

At least he has indeed taken steps toward making all of humanity better, hasn't he? Tsugumi is not much different from him, except that he is stronger and never puts pressure on himself, and would never be obsessed with saving everyone.

"Your idea is correct, but you lack the power to control your desires, so the miracle will inevitably turn into a disaster. You will be attacked and become the villain, and that's all there is to it."

"There's no such thing as right or wrong routes or paths. If you insist on saying something, you're just being arrogant. Even Jesus wouldn't bear the damned sins of those who later went to hell."

Amakusa Shiro blinked, then smiled with happiness and relief.

"Really? I didn't do anything wrong? That's good, that's good..."

He slowly lowered his head, exhaled his last breath, and ended his life. Tsugumi looked at his motionless corpse, waved her hand to destroy it, and then left.

"Here you go, the Holy Grail that I promised you."

Having finished dealing with all that, Tsugumi went to her Master's side. Rin Tohsaka looked at the Greater Grail that Tsugumi casually tossed to her, feeling a sense of unreality wash over her.

After all, she did practically nothing, just lay there, and then received the Holy Grail that allowed her to make a wish.

"Is...is that really how it's resolved?" she asked blankly, her voice almost uncertain.

"Yes, it's done. The world is back to normal. Kill all the damned ones, and make the guilty suffer a fate worse than death. It's that simple."

Just as Tsurugi was about to run away, he looked down and saw little Jack clinging to his leg, her eyes brimming with tears as she pitifully begged him.

"Mommy, don't leave me behind. I'll be very good, I won't make a fuss. Please take me with you..."

"...Tsk, annoying brat."

And so, Tsurugi completed his target practice and then left this world.

Hmm? Is there some problem that hasn't been addressed?

—If you're referring to the vampire princess who cried incessantly to Tsugumi from beginning to end while in a quantum superposition state, and the tyrant who frantically called Tsugumi after emerging from the Fuyuki Holy Grail in another world.
