People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

Compared to judgment and punishment, the act of redemption itself is more meaningful.

"Is it more meaningful..."

At this moment, Kotomine Kirei seemed to have understood something.

His eyes were extremely determined, his heart began to beat faster, he gripped the black keys tightly in his hands, and then launched his charge towards the train roaring in front of him.

"Perhaps, this is... my salvation..."

——Boom! ! !

After a terrible explosion, the train turned into nothingness the moment it touched Kotomine Kirei.

"Is this...disappeared?"

Kotomine Kirei walked through the train, looking at his surroundings with some confusion.

"Are you okay, man?!"

Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been watching from the platform, saw this and hurried down from above. Seeing the priest whom he had just insulted as a villain, a wave of turmoil surged within him.

"I'm fine, but what about the train?"

Facing Emiya Kiritsugu's concern, Kotomine Kirei shook his head. What he cared more about than himself was what happened to the train and the innocent people.

"They are all fine. It seems that what just happened was just an illusion."

Emiya Kiritsugu breathed a sigh of relief, because Kotomine Kirei broke the illusion that had been bothering them, making him realize that he had not killed so many people. As a result, his originally heavy body suddenly felt a lot lighter at this moment.

"Is that so? That's great. You didn't kill so many people yourself."

Kotomine Kirei was also happy for him.

As a clergyman, he should give his blessing when he sees that the lost lambs still have hope.

"Your disgusting willpower shattered the illusion, you disgusting priest! You actually ruined all my trials!!"

Irisviel reappeared, but this time, her face was filled with unprecedented anger. She stared at Kotomine Kirei before her and demanded, "Do you really think you can save everyone? There's no such thing as a good thing in this world. You've only broken through an illusion!"

"No, I've already succeeded..."

Facing her question, Kotomine Kirei remained calm and replied, "Because I'm already dead. In that situation, climbing onto the train and stopping it, or yelling at the driver to stop it, wouldn't have been possible. So I chose... to use my life to remind the train driver to stop."

"As long as he realizes he hit me, he will definitely brake. This is the best effort I can make and the best solution so far. I only need to sacrifice one person I want to save, and there is a chance to save everyone. Compared to other people's lives, I have no right to interfere, but I can decide my own life."

"You guy..."

After hearing Kotomine Kirei's calm response, both Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu understood the true intention of this guy who had just gone to face his death on the train.

This man was not naive enough to want to stop the train without any sacrifice. Instead, he had already chosen the target of sacrifice, and it was... himself!

"Actually... is there such a method?"

For a moment, Emiya Kiritsugu opened his eyes wide as if he understood everything.

Alice could no longer hold back, she knew she had lost.

"You're not only an enlightened person, but also a martyr?!"

She questioned loudly.

"No, I'm not a martyr, nor an enlightened being, nor a judge. I'm merely an atoner. I simply want to do my best to save everyone, and I'll strive to the end. That way, even if I fail, it will only be regret, not pain, because I've already done my best."

Kotomine Kirei looked at Emiya Kiritsugu and replied calmly, "Do you understand now?"

"We are all human, not gods. Therefore, we don't have the ability to save everyone's lives at this moment, nor do we have the right to decide their lives. Salvation based on sacrifice is not salvation. Those who survive will bear the guilt and torment of the dead for the rest of their lives. So if you truly want to save them, then go for it."

"Perhaps struggling is meaningless. Sometimes, even trying to death can't change the outcome. But we shouldn't arbitrarily control the fate of others. We don't have the right to decide who should die. All we have is the conviction to save others even at the cost of our own lives. Perhaps the result and process won't be as quick as if you had sacrificed two hundred people to save the majority, but ah..."

Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his head, his fingertips had already pierced deeply into the flesh, and blood continued to flow out from his palm.

At this moment, Kotomine Kirei in front of him had already taken out the Bible from his pocket and gently opened it. His figure seemed to be the reincarnation of a saint, giving a small blessing to Emiya Kiritsugu and this gray world.

"I don't want to give up on anyone who deserves to be saved. Whether they are kind or have made mistakes, they all have the chance to live in this world. So even if I have to work until my death, I will try to save everyone. This is what I believe is the most correct thing to do. It is also the salvation I can offer to myself and humanity."

"The salvation of all mankind... salvation..."

Hearing these words, Emiya Kiritsugu finally couldn't hold on any longer. He knelt directly on the ground, and tears began to flow unconsciously from his eyes.

"Yes, this is redemption... This is redemption... What on earth have I done all this time?!!"

It was because I was constantly pushed forward and longing for miracles that I made such outrageous mistakes. It was not until the last moment that I understood such a simple truth.

"You bastard, this is sophistry! Just the sophistry of you missionaries!!" Irisviel roared madly, "How can you be considered redeemed if you didn't save more lives? Kiritsugu obviously saved more people, he is the true savior! You are just a hypocritical redeemer!!"

"Maybe, but...you are wrong about one thing."

"what?!"

Kotomine Kirei pushed Irisviel away and extended his hand towards Emiya Kiritsugu.

"None of us are saviors, and humanity has never needed a savior. We only need..."

“It is perfectly enough to be a good person.”

Gently pulling Emiya Kiritsugu up from the ground, Kotomine Kirei spoke to him compassionately.

"Now that things have come to this, you lambs who have been wandering in the past and lost in the future, do you understand everything?"

"You are not the only one in this world who wants to be a partner of justice. Don't think that you are the only one who has paid a heavy price to save something."

"From the beginning to the end, humanity has never longed to be saved, nor has it longed to return to the Garden of Eden from which it was once driven. Whether it be sorrow, joy, destruction, or resentment, humanity has continued on this path since leaving the Garden of Eden, constantly progressing. After so many years, humanity has reached this point. And now, because you alone can't stand it, you use miracles to negate everything about humanity and impose your own so-called salvation... Have you ever consulted the opinions of all of humanity?"

"You are truly too arrogant, Emiya Kiritsugu."

Grabbing Emiya Kiritsugu's arm, Kotomine Kirei clenched his fist tightly and hit him in the face without hesitation.

"Now, at this moment, you should also wake up, right?"

This punch almost distorted Kiritsugu Emiya's entire face and made him burst into tears.

"I...I know..."

"Now... let's run away together."

Looking at Emiya Kiritsugu who was wailing and crying, Kotomine Kirei opened his arms and gave him a comforting hug.

"Even if you can't save the whole world, start by saving everything in front of you. Start by saving yourself."

"Save myself..."

"That's right, let's start by saving ourselves." Kotomine Kirei nodded.

"You two don't think you can escape from here?!"

Watching the two of them acting like such nagging wives, Irisviel showed an expression of disgust on her face.

The originally gentle smile gradually disappeared, and the white body began to dissolve at this moment, and black liquid began to flow out in this world.

"The sacrifices are sufficient. The Holy Grail will inevitably descend, and I am destined to descend upon your world. The outcome of this Holy Grail War has long been determined. Even if you two don't make a wish, nothing can be changed. This world will still experience its own infinite malice!"

"I see... No wonder the King of Heroes said there was something wrong with the Holy Grail."

Kotomine Kirei nodded slightly, "So it's contaminated."

"You can never destroy this world!"

Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath and then raised the gun in his hand, "We will stop you here!"

"Hehe... is it just you?"

Irisviel smiled as if she had seen a hilarious joke.

"This is humanity's own wish. And how can you two, who don't even have a Servant, stop me? Stop the evil of this world?!"

How to stop...

--call out!!

Before he could finish his words, a golden sword beam suddenly shot up into the sky, piercing through this illusory world and creating a huge hole.

"what?!"

Irisviel suddenly turned around and saw a golden-haired knight king wearing pale silver armor appearing here.

"King of Knights?"

Seeing Saber's appearance, Kotomine Kirei was also a little surprised.

“Irisviel… is this really how things are?”

Ignoring the expressions of the others, Altria took a deep breath as she looked at Irisviel, who was completely twisted by the black mud, and a hint of regret and pain flashed in her eyes.

“Saber!!”

When he saw Altria's figure reappear, Emiya Kiritsugu also shouted excitedly.

Although he didn't know why Saber, who had broken her contract with him a long time ago, hadn't left yet, but with her around, perhaps...

"Hurry and destroy this Holy Grail. The one before you is no longer Irisviel. For the sake of world peace, release your Noble Phantasm upon her!!"

"I know."

Altria nodded. She had already learned about the things here from the magical old man in advance, and she also understood what her mission was.

"The Holy Grail..."

However, when she saw the thing she once longed for right in front of her, and she could hold it in her hand just by reaching out, she still couldn't let it go.

If it weren't for Rowe's preaching and guidance, I would have placed my hopes on the Holy Grail again at this moment.

Thinking of that annoying figure, Altria couldn't help but feel a little grateful in her heart.

However, although I was grateful, I still felt very angry when I thought about the other party's lack of martial ethics and how he pinned me to the ground and trampled on me.

At this moment, facing the thing she had pursued and longed for so much in the past, she still did not take it, nor did she destroy it. She just held the holy sword tightly and stood quietly at the exit of the gymnasium, preventing the evil of this world from escaping, and quietly waiting for the right person to arrive.

She had seen the answer to the future before the mysterious old man who claimed to be an acquaintance of Merlin. Rather than simply using the Holy Sword to destroy the Holy Grail and unleash endless disasters upon Fuyuki City, her mission was to wait for the right person to arrive and avert this disaster.

So, under the puzzled gazes of Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei, Artoria still did not move but just stood quietly at the exit and continued to watch.

Keep waiting for the right person to come.

PS: I have a cold, I'll take a rest for a while.

I'll write the rest tonight. I'm so tired.

Chapter 93 My Holy Grail!!

Sometimes plans really can't keep up with changes.

It often happens that when you have made all the plans and are only one step away from winning, something unexpected happens. This is what is called an unexpected event.

……

Bear bear bear...

The flames continued to burn and flicker in Fuyuki City.

"Ugh……"

Walking on the street filled with wildfires, a faint sigh was heard from the young man.

A young man holding a silver cane walked through the streets of Fuyuki City. As he sighed, the blue light flashing from the tip of the cane turned into countless magical threads, drawing a formation on the ground for praying for rain.

There was no messy preparation or rain-praying ceremony, and the formation was completed in just a moment. He slowly circulated his magic power and directly activated this huge magic formation recorded in the Book of Law, which was used to borrow the power of the Archangel of Water to bring down rain.

In an instant, as he stepped out, dark clouds gathered, then the mist in the sky quickly connected into a single line. Soon, a gentle drizzle began to wash over the streets of Fuyuki City. As his magic power continued to increase, the next moment, a loud "whoosh!" was heard, and heavy rain poured down from the sky as if the sky had collapsed.

Big drops of rain kept coming like bullets, making the leaves whistling. If they fell on a person, he would doubt his life in just one breath.
