Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

The earth drifted away like snowflakes, and the mountains and rivers vanished like dust.

Humans were not spared either; those who managed to escape from the towns could not escape death.

All of this seems like a fleeting dream.

The originator of "predicting events"—Shirou—stared intently at the sky, waiting for that voice to appear.

Alaya consciousness has appeared.

It resorted to its old tricks, attempting to tempt Shirou to offer up his soul and freedom.

"I have no interest in becoming a guardian."

Shirou coldly rejected the proposal to suppress the power.

Even becoming a guardian wouldn't save Britain.

Ultimately, he had no interest in saving Britain; it wasn't his wish.

"I will replace Gaia and become the new 'world'... I think I can do that now."

Shirou revealed the terms of the contract he desired.

To relinquish one's humanity in order to create something else—

No, he wanted to create a world where Morgan could also find happiness.

After a long silence, the Alaya consciousness acknowledged Shirou's wish.

Because of the noise around him, he did not notice the girl he loved approaching.

"Shirou...who are you talking to?"

Turning around, I saw the silver-haired fairy queen gazing at us from a distance.

"It's too late! Shirou! We need to take shelter quickly!"

Although it had only been a day since they last met, just seeing her face filled Shirou with strength.

Beautiful, pure, alluring, intelligent, and with a smile that she only shows to him.

"The world is over."

Shirou answered, trying hard to control his emotions.

"We can no longer live on the surface, but if it's the Inner Sea of ​​Stars... we can still escape into Avalon! Even if it's just the two of us, we must survive!"

Morgan seemed to realize that something bad was about to happen and started running in this direction.

"What are you thinking? Don't do anything rash! Stand there and don't move! Wait for me to come!"

Morgan cried out in panic.

She's usually very composed, but she occasionally shows signs of panic and embarrassment, which is especially cute... And her chest jiggles so lewdly.

How wonderful it would be to hug her here.

How happy I would be if I could escape to Avalon with her.

However, Shirou couldn't do it.

Because we made a promise to make her the happiest girl in the world.

and so--

Even if I can never see you again, I will still do what I have done.

For you, I would give up human emotions, I would stop caring if I were no longer myself.

Because—this is the only wish I've found in this world.

Countless emotions raged in Shirou's heart—after they subsided.

He turned his back to Morgan and took a step toward the sky.

"forget me, please."

……

……

And so, Shirou replaced the deceased Gaia and became the new restraining force of this planet—"The End".

The logging has ceased—due to the emergence of a new inhibitory force.

This situation has never occurred even in an infinite number of parallel worlds.

The universe, sensing a certain "possibility," halted the "logging" and gave the world a chance to start over.

Just as the Alaya consciousness regards "the survival of mankind" as its top priority, "the ultimate state" also has its own top priority.

"The survival of the world" and "Morgan's happiness".

Compared to the soul of a planet, the restraining force called "End" is far too weak, and its influence is limited to the surface of the earth.

Under this premise, the existence of divine Britain is permitted, and the future of "predicting events" is avoided.

Although the initial intention was only for one woman's happiness, in the end, everyone achieved happiness.

As for Shirou—he has lost his self and his ability to think, and has now become something like a computer program.

If there are any unexpected events...

That is, he did not take into account his special status as a time traveler.

Although the body and spirit have been destroyed, the soul has unfortunately been preserved.

His current situation is like being in a very long dream from which he will never wake up.

The soul of the time traveler drifted and wandered in the pure white world.

Unable to think, unable to act.

He will continue to dream until the last resources are exhausted and the universe reaches heat death.

In a daze, the time traveler heard the voice of an old man.

"What was supposed to be an axis destined for destruction has been forcibly extended... What on earth happened...?"

The man—Second Magician Kishua Zelrich Schbein'ogu—muttered to himself in a very confused voice.

"The problem really lies with that imposter King Arthur. Just the fact that he grew to that level is astonishing. He's not some protagonist from a fantasy novel... What did he do after that?"

"Hmm? They actually made that kind of contract with the restraining force?"

"The contract stipulates that I become a new restraint force... That's ridiculous, hahaha!"

"Even if you searched through countless parallel universes, you wouldn't find another madman like you."

The mage was undoubtedly talking about Shirou.

However, Shirou right now... can do nothing but listen.

Unable to think, unable to understand.

"Simply having the assistance of the Alaya consciousness is not enough to replace Gaia... He also needs to possess sufficient power himself."

"The moment the chosen sword is drawn, the body's growth ceases—this is the first step."

"He gained immortality from wielding the Holy Sword for a long time, and divinity from using the Holy Lance for a long time."

"After the battle with the Grand Dragon, it devoured the dragon's heart, forming the strongest heart on the planet (Magic Core)."

"Finally, it was during the battle with Zhu Yue that he was drained of blood and obtained the highest-level Principle Blood Ring."

"I see. It is indeed qualified to be a monster of restraint, surpassing any life form in the 46 billion years since the planet was born."

While it ultimately cannot compare to the planetary soul (Gaia), it is sufficient—sufficient to fulfill its duty of restraint.

After reading through Shirou's life story, Zelrich fell into a long, long silence.

"To make his wife happy, just for that reason..."

"I've seen my share of the world, but I've never seen anyone like you before."

"But... Shirou, have you considered the consequences of your actions?"

"When a new inhibitory force is born, this world becomes the only special case among infinite parallel worlds."

"In order to explore possibilities, the universe will try its best to meet the requirements of special worlds."

"For example, the elite college preparation class in experimental schools... compared to regular classes, they can get the best and most resources."

"Then, who decides how to use those resources? Is it you? Of course not, you've lost your sense of self."

Shirou listened silently.

"In conclusion, this world... revolves around your wife's will."

Zelrich continued with a cheerful smile.

"Unfortunately, there's nothing more I can do about this."

"...You've created an incredible monster, Shirou."

……

……

Morgan arrived at the hills of Camland.

This is where the Queen last met her beloved husband.

As his memories were gradually recovered, Morgan finally regained this part of his memories as well.

It was here that Shirou sacrificed himself… Morgan thought sadly.

I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...

She kept apologizing in her heart.

If I could clearly express my feelings, you wouldn't have sacrificed yourself, would you?

If I had been more honest, this wouldn't have happened.

I don't like the history you've created for me at all, Shirou.

Without you, I will never be happy in this world.

Therefore, I must deny the history you created—

With unwavering resolve, Morgan closed his eyes and murmured a spell.

The next second, a small coffin appeared in her hand, containing a white orb of light.

The world revolves around Morgan's will.

Once she knows this, she can do anything she wants, for example—

To retrieve the soul of Shirou, who has vanished.

"We can't continue like this."

Just then, a voice rang out directly in Morgan's mind.

The Fairy Queen now understands that this is the same person Shirou was talking to back then—the suppressive force called Alaya-vijnana.

"You want to resurrect your husband, but that is not allowed."

The complete resurrection of life is a miracle that surpasses the five great magics.

Although it is theoretically impossible, it is not entirely impossible in practice, as long as a huge enough amount of energy is invested.

However, Shirou's situation is even more complicated.

He did not die, but rather became "non-existent".

It was on the basis of his disappearance that this new world and new human reasoning were able to be constructed.

If Shirou were to be resurrected, it would mean the end of this world.

This time, there won't even be a need for "logging"; the world will burst like a bubble, leaving no trace.

So give up.

Annoying voices kept echoing in Morgan's mind.

"…………madness."
