Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Kaules: "A calamity sufficient, sufficient to destroy human history!"

Magical Girl Rin Tohsaka: "N-No way, there really is such a terrifying existence."

Zabiko: "Is this a calamity comparable to that of Sesshouin Kiara?"

Lion's Robbery Jie Li: "That's right, it was originally just a legend, but now—"

Fiore: "The legend is about to come true..."

Fiore: "Wait a minute, I remember the Magic King saying that Heroic Spirit Summoning was originally a magic used in the final battle to save the primate world, could it be...?"

Fuxi: "Alas...that's right. We Grand Servants exist to vanquish human evil and save human history."

Fuxi: "But that doesn't mean that Grand Servants are invincible. Our chances of winning against Beast are actually not high."

Rin Tohsaka: "No way—"

Aozaki Touko: "Oh my, this is really something else."

Zabi: "Hey, Juezhe, you can't just ignore this, can you? You're Saver!"

The enlightened one: "Amitabha..."

Zabiko: "???"

Zabi: "What do you mean? Give me a straight answer!"

Unfortunately, the enlightened one went offline again, showing no intention of answering her at all.

Zabi: "That damn stinking monk!!!"

[Dad: "What...are you saying?"]

[Sajō Aika: "The Holy Grail isn't some kind of wish-granting machine. But when this child wakes up, he and I will definitely be able to save Britain."]

[Saving her homeland—she was thinking of Saber's wish, even though she wasn't present.]

"So Caster, let's collect living sacrifices together with Assassin. It's still not enough. More, more, yeah, if we're talking numbers, we need at least six hundred and sixty-six people."

She stretched out her arms and danced lightly, her arms gracefully opening into the shape of a flower.

Must the magnificent flowers dance with darkness?

Webber: "666, it really is the Great Red Dragon..."

Weber: "I just didn't expect it to be not a summoning, but a birth."

Hierle: "She's insane, this woman is truly insane!"

Hierle: "How could she possibly think that the birth of the Beast would help Britain regain its kingdom!"

Zabizi: "As the saying goes, there's only a fine line between genius and madness."

Sajō Aika, she's an even more insane woman than Sessōin Kiara.

"To give value to children who have no value. To become a substitute for their souls. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Thousands or tens of thousands of worthless things, once gathered here, acquire brilliant value."

A slender finger pointed into the air, where countless girls in white had gathered.

[These are the more than one hundred people they painstakingly collected; on each of their faces hangs an empty expression of lost self.]

This is a special potion Caster concocted using Assassin's poison, temporarily stripping them of their expressions and emotions.

These are living sacrifices, meant to fill the gaps in the Seventh Knight's soul.

There was no fear, no hesitation, not even a sense of self.

The girls walked in the shadows, with a certain piety that evoked images of devotees offering their hearts to Tescatlipoca in ancient Aztec temples, and then—

One after another, they fell.

[Sajō Aika: "Rejoice. Even ordinary people like you can be of use to him."]

【"Thump——————"】

[The womb's movements revealed the joy of consuming offerings. With a single roar—the Great Grail roared!]

Weber: "Do they already have basic awareness?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Hey! Stop being a riddle-teller, Paracelsus, what happened in the end?!"

Rin Tohsaka: "You saw it too, how terrifying that thing would be once it was born!"

Dad: "...I don't know, it's true."

Dad: "You should understand that I can't possibly stand until the end. There's only one person who can stand until then."

Blonde Rin: "That male King Arthur?"

Zabiko: "The fate of the world really depends on him."

"...Is that so, Beast? So that means..."

[Amidst immense trembling, Dad witnessed the reality.]

[Sleeping within the Holy Grail, its shell an egg, bearing the number six, it will eventually descend from the other side of the sea.]

[A creature that is hostile to humanity, devours humanity, and destroys humanity.]

"Is this the result of our seven riders' wishes?!"

Cardinal, you have made a fatal mistake—

There are no angels here; what slumbers here is not something sacred, but the inescapable nature of being human!

Hartres: "As expected, the Mage's Association, such a corrupt entity, should be overthrown."

Junior Director: "What nonsense...what are you talking about..."

Luvia: "Surely this wouldn't happen with the Holy Grail in our world?"

Weber: "Probably not. While the evil of this world is a problem, it's far from the level of the Beast."

[Sajō Aika: "It's necessary for his wish."]

"The world. History. Everything woven from life—in science fiction terms, the spacetime continuum, right?"

"His wish will not be fulfilled unless the established things within it—that is, the current foundation of human reason—are completely shattered. Therefore, this child is needed."

Is that a smile based on omniscience?

She was fully aware of what existence she was leading to its birth, yet...

"The Beast of Sodom, a creature that devours cities. No, cities alone are not enough; devour my world."

Behind her lay unhindered darkness. Aika Sajou danced gracefully.

"Let's celebrate, because my birthday is coming up soon!"

"Be born, adorable Beast!"

"If you bark even once, everyone will shout, the earth will crack, and the rivers will be stained crimson!"

"Destroy everything that humanity has built up, shatter history, and Britain will be reborn!"

"He will be king, until the end of time."

"Not in Avalon, but in Britain, the only eternal land where life can endure!"

Koles: "What, are you kidding me?!"

Cowles: "The Beast was born to destroy human history and free Britain from its predetermined fate of destruction. There's a limit to madness!"

Weber: "Paraxelsus, you said in the video that you are omniscient and omnipotent?"

Dad: "Heh, that's right."

Chapter 520 The Old Sword No Longer Sit and Wait for Death

"Hmm..."

As Nero watched the beast egg in the video, the strange and complex emotions in his heart grew stronger.

She had this feeling ever since the animal egg appeared in the video.

Is it fear, or... joy?

Why do we feel happy?

[The following day, in the afternoon.]

Old Sword walked alone on the bustling street.

Not for reconnaissance, not for sentry duty, just walking around the city.

Because this place is no longer a battlefield, and no more fighting will take place.

[Walking between buildings, along bustling streets, listening to the cacophony of countless four-wheeled vehicles belching plumes of dust, I continued on my way.]

Are they taking a walk?

【No. 】

"Where is the Greater Grail...?"

[Old Sword recalls memories of last night.]
