Traveled through time at the same time, but both clones were beautiful girls

No one could hate such a little guy, right?

He kept talking to himself like that.

Although I was somewhat unwilling, it didn't seem like it was unacceptable to just silently watch her grow up safely.

But the time traveler had some worries.

Because of memories of some cartoons from her past life, she knew that the child would eventually come into contact with magic, and would eventually become a magical girl to fight against some heroic spirit cards, putting herself in danger.

But after her worries subsided, she comforted herself.

That was also the time when she was born.

She will protect Ilya like an older sister.

Everything unfolded as she had predicted. With the arrival of Miyu Emiya from another world, and with Illya's encounter with Ruby the Magic Wand in the bathroom, the gears of fate began to turn uncontrollably.

"Do you hate Miyu-sama, Chloe-sama?"

The sapphire wand whispered beside me.

Since reaching that consensus with Miyu Emiya, Chloe has been using the Second Law contained within the Sapphire Wand, along with the help of the Counter Force, to constantly travel between parallel worlds in search of that sliver of possibility.

She had no friends, only her sapphire wand to communicate with.

"Hate?"

The girl with golden eyes and silver hair had a hint of mockery on her lips.

"If you ask me if I regret not killing your master back then... I can answer you that this question is meaningless. Her brother wished for her to live in a happy world. If the possibility of me killing her had exceeded fifty percent, Miyu Emiya would not have gone to our world."

"Indeed. As expected of Lady Chloe, your analysis is as accurate as ever."

"But that doesn't mean I don't hate her, or that I don't hate her brother. For them, the arrival of Miyu Emiya into our world was a beautiful wish, but that wish turned Illya's wonderful life into a complete mess. Shouldn't I hate her?"

"Then why did you ally with Archer? He's also Shirou Emiya, isn't he? Don't you resent him?"

"Hehe, this is what you don't understand, Serphia... So-called human emotions—it is a desire that you would rather harm others or yourself than not want to release. However, some people are good at using and hiding this desire."

Chloe ran her slender fingers along the surface of the Greater Grail.

She is intervening in the system of the Holy Grail through the causal lines.

The Greater Grail increased in brightness, like the moon rising from the earth, its blue-white light expanding and contracting repeatedly, almost like a living organism pulsating.

"Good people are good at using reason to control their emotions."

"Evil people are adept at letting their emotions dominate their reason."

“A so-called rational villain like me will turn himself into a machine that only calculates interests. As long as it is beneficial to me, it is not impossible for him to form an alliance with the object of his resentment.”

Chloe suddenly stopped sighing.

A few seconds later, someone came to her side.

"It's over, Master."

The body of the Heroic Spirit Emiya was filled with the aura of blood and fire.

In this Holy Grail War, all fourteen Servants from both the Red and Black sides, including Ruler and Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, a remnant from the previous Holy Grail War, perished.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shirou."

Chloe addressed the man, who could be considered both her older brother and her younger brother, with an affectionate tone.

However, Emiya didn't feel any intimacy at all.

He could only give a helpless, bitter smile: "You'd better be a little harsher on me, Master, I'm scared."

“In terms of social relationships, you are indeed my brother, so there’s no need to be afraid.”

Chloe glanced at him.

In those crimson pupils, the essence was seen through the phenomena.

A towering figure standing atop Sword Hill, gears constantly spinning in the void, and countless sword remains scattered across the desolate land.

"One last confirmation: are you truly disobeying the orders of the Counter Force and turning against me?"

"I just finished my task. Even the most heartless boss wouldn't immediately assign me a new task, right?"

This is the F/A world line.

A total of sixteen heroic spirits fought in battle.

This timeline contains the pure, unpolluted Holy Grail.

Chloe travels through countless timelines and across countless battlefields, all in an attempt to enter the Root.

However, the fact that a magician can enter the Root is itself strongly opposed by two major forces of restraint, and Araya Souren is the most typical example.

That's why she never succeeded.

Until this world line.

Using her foresight, Chloe created a situation where black was weak and red was strong, presenting the Restraint with a choice.

There are two anomalies in this Holy Grail War.

One is Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who wants to save all of humanity by using the Third Method to absorb the magic power of the global ley lines and materialize the souls of all mankind.

The other is Chloe, who wants to enter the Roots.

The choice presented to the opposing force is: to stop her, or to stop Amakusa Shiro Tokisada?

Sima, with a stern face, provided the answer.

Compared to the fact that human civilization is trapped in a dead end and then subject to human manipulation, the harm caused by a magician entering the source is significantly less.

"Have you thought it through? Once I go in and change Shirou Emiya's life, I will ensure he never comes into contact with the mystical again. In that case, you will disappear completely from the [seat]. Are you sure?"

"of course."

Heroic Spirit Emiya deeply regrets becoming a champion of justice.

"In that case, farewell, Emiya."

Chloe entered the Greater Grail.

I watched that small figure disappear into the light.

Perhaps it was because this scene seemed familiar, or perhaps it was because he knew she would never return... Heroic Spirit Emiya suddenly felt like crying.

Chapter 179 Welcome back, Ilya!

Upon entering the Greater Grail, the senses dissolve in an instant.

It was like the comfort before falling asleep, much like the feeling of being inside Irisviel's belly when I was reborn in the Prisma Illusion timeline, enveloped by an omnipresent softness, constantly sinking—sinking, sinking, sinking.

The murderous intent and malice gradually faded away.

Happiness, joy, sweetness, and tranquility are all integrated into one.

There's no need to try anymore...

"In the way."

The golden eyes reopened.

Their will is unbreakable and unwavering in the face of countless battles!

Chloe entered the interior of the Greater Grail.

Originally, the magic within the Holy Grail was directionless, but from the moment she stepped into it, the pure magic gained direction because of her wish—

A massive amount of magic surged forth.

We must follow the direction in which the Heroes returned to their thrones, open the source, and connect with the place of nothingness and everything.

Everything in front of me vanished, leaving only a deep void.

Chloe smiled, a smile she hadn't shown in a long time, and stepped inside without a second thought.

The origin, the ultimate destination that countless magicians dream of.

But for the vast majority of magicians, the place of origin is so far away and unattainable.

Even if you manage to bypass the inhibitory force and open the gate to the source, it's far from enough. The magician himself also needs to possess an extraordinary and terrifying will to reach it in person.

Every step into this place is fraught with indescribable difficulty.

"Huh...huh..."

Chloe's steps grew heavier and heavier.

Difficulty breathing and blurred vision.

The eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind have all lost their proper functions.

Gradually, the body melts away completely without awareness, while only the soul breaks free from the shackles of earth, water, fire, and wind, and is being endlessly oppressed and tempered, becoming purer and closer to that origin.

In Kabbalah mysticism, those who embark on this path are actually walking on the path of the fire sword, tracing back to the original "origin".

Just now, she had already accomplished the Third Law.

But that was merely a byproduct of the Path of the Fire Sword. It would disappear once it left its source. Even if one tried to recreate the Third Magic using the knowledge learned in that instant, it would be useless—because the Third Magician, that old man, was still alive.

(Mushroom's new setting: Of the five great mages, only the first mage is confirmed dead; the other four are still alive.)

Chloe, now only a soul, slowly ascends the Tree of Life.

This process is very slow.

Due to the obstruction of the inhibitory force, the self-protection mechanisms of the two planets are constantly trying to pull her down to the real world.

But in fact, her rise was much faster than that of other magicians who had ever stepped into the Roots.

"How fortunate, my origin is the [Container]."

Coincidentally, the tenth point at the bottom of the Kabbalah Tree of Life is the manifestation of the four elements, which is the "container" of all the divine.

Or, to put it another way, it is a container for all point masses.

The cultivation system of the Path of the Fire Sword requires ascetics to start by learning how to enter the tenth primal substance, and then climb up one by one from ten to one, traversing four worlds, and finally taking the highest crown.

In other words, Chloe was born at the level of the tenth point, Malkuth, the starting point that esoteric ascetics dream of.

This is probably the greatest gift that the Third Mage gave to the Einzbern family.

Her will continued upward, completely breaking free from the constraints of the material world, and she vaguely sensed the outflow of nothingness.

She doesn't know how strong she is now.

Before entering the Greater Grail, she can face both Karna and Achilles simultaneously.

It's hard to say now. She feels countless times stronger than before, but she doesn't care about that now, and she has no intention of quitting right now.

"Hey! If you go any further, you'll have nothing left!"

There was a cute boy with long, bright red hair who was obsessed with women. Somehow, he wandered into the source of the problem and issued her a final warning.

But Chloe didn't pause for a second.

"almost……"

"Coming……"

The soul is burning rapidly.

With only a sliver of willpower, they charged headlong into the source.

Until one moment, all the pressure disappeared completely.

What appeared before Chloe was an indescribable grandeur.

Without any specific imagery, she only knew that this was the origin and end of everything. If there was anything omniscient and omnipotent in this world, then this indescribable thing before her must be it.

"Ilia..."

Chloe thought about the name one last time.

She touched something that should never be touched.

She wants to reverse time and go back to before everything started.
