I'm a magnetic field madman

He didn't feel he was qualified to embrace a pure life, because he himself was the cruelest person in the world.

No life is inherently lowly or old; each is simply a unit of measurement.

Whether you are rich or poor, a national leader or a beggar... whether you are seriously ill or healthy, the value of life is always equal.

This was a belief he had always held, and it sounded like a very good spirit. However, the things Kiritsugu Emiya practiced made this good idea extremely terrifying.

Because all lives are equal, as a Libra, I can use quantity to measure the value of human life.

Following this belief, Kiritsugu Emiya has been "acting" towards it.

Killing the minority for the sake of the majority, repeating this process over and over again. Kiritsugu Emiya sees himself as a scale, not of justice but simply a scale to weigh more and less... acting not for his own desires but solely for his beliefs and ideals.

But he wasn't a true Libra after all.

Perhaps he could have relied on deception to justify his actions in the past, but when his child was born five years ago, he realized—

He was just an ordinary person who thought himself superior, yet he arrogantly believed himself to be the arbiter of humanity because of his ideals.

This arrogance is the greatest and most incomprehensible sin and filth.

He can't change the world. From childhood to now, after more than twenty years of hard work, he has still achieved nothing.

The world remains in such a state of decay, shrouded in the shadow of the Cold War, and could be destroyed at any moment by a break in the balance.

Moreover, in another six months, if he were to step onto that battlefield, he would be forced to do even more cruel things—

Driven by his desire to save the world, he will personally kill his wife and offer her as a sacrifice in exchange for a chance to make a wish.

What husband could be worse than him?

What father could be more cruel than him?

"You're saying that again," Irisviel said softly, hugging her husband tightly.

"Don't forget, a world where no one has to cry—that's the ideal you've always dreamed of, right? Your battle will end in six months. You and I will achieve our ideal. The Holy Grail will surely save you..."

“After that day, please hold our child, Illyasviel, in your arms again. Stand tall, as an ordinary father…”

Just when things are going to be cozy, something always seems to show up to "stir things up".

Accompanied by a flash of lightning, a loud bang came from Ilya's room, as if something was exploding.

Kiritsugu grabbed his weapon without hesitation and rushed over, but the moment he pushed open the door—

A tall young man was kneeling in front of Ilya, who was sitting on the bed with a blank expression.

He was over two meters tall and wore a dark purple vest and green trousers.

With her medium-length, silver-white hair, her azure eyes gazed quietly at Ilya amidst the shimmering arcs of electricity.

Kiritsugu dared not move, nor could he move, and the arcs of electricity coiling around Illya and the strange young man were no joke.

If he were to step inside, he felt he would be instantly turned to ashes.

The young man remained silent for a few seconds, then slowly stood up. His tall figure seemed to cast a shadow that enveloped the petite Ilya.

After a brief silence, the girl burst into tears!

Bai Jingtian was somewhat at a loss, his expression slightly embarrassed... but a second later, he regained the composure of a prince of the Heavenly Kingdom and said in a deep voice...

"So, you're my so-called...Master?"

……

Three days later, at Eindzbern Castle...

Enveloped in a thousand-year-old obsession, the illusory city is an ancient city frozen in ice deep in the secluded mountains, and the most magnificent yet darkest chapel of Einzbern.

This is certainly not a place to praise God's grace or find peace of mind.

In the city where magicians live, the so-called prayer room refers to the sacrificial room used for performing magical rituals.

Therefore, when you look up at the stained glass windows, you don't see portraits of saints; instead, you see figures striving to obtain the Holy Grail...

The long history of the Einzbern family.

This place is undoubtedly extremely secluded and exclusive; even Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel are not allowed to stay here permanently...

Lights can only be transmitted from other workshops within Germany when necessary.

She served the former Third Magician and then "created" the "Great" Winter Saintess.

The family that came closest to the Third Law and the Holy Grail suffered defeat in all three Holy Grail Wars.

The frescoes themselves convey the deep arrogance of the Einzbern family, their self-proclaimed status as the Third Law...

The rightful heir, with a sense of contempt for the Tohsaka and Machiri families and the humiliation of having to rely on them.

Of course, none of this is the main reason why Kiritsugu and his group came here today.

An old man summoned them; the old magician, the lord of Winter Castle, was waiting for Kiritsugu and Irisviel before the altar.

Yubstakuhaid von Einzbern. He has been commonly known as Ahad since succeeding to the position of the eighth patriarch.

By continuously prolonging their lives, they have lived for almost two centuries.

He led the Einzbern family after they transitioned from the search for the Holy Grail to the Holy Grail War.

Kiritsugu Emiya was unwilling to face this old man, whose background he couldn't quite discern, even though the old man's attitude towards him was actually quite good—but this time, he was sure the old man wouldn't be so friendly.

"Kiritsugu, what on earth is going on?!"

As the old man Ahad stroked his white beard, which resembled a frozen waterfall, he stared intently at Kiritsugu with shrewd eyes from deep-set sockets, and spoke in a stern, unquestionable tone, almost rebukingly…

Even Ahad was somewhat bewildered by this sudden turn of events after receiving Kiritsugu's report of this inexplicable situation.

They had already made all the preparations for the Holy Grail War and chosen a suitable Master...

Relics capable of summoning the strongest Servant as a sword spirit have been unearthed from Cornwall...

Three years ago, Kiritsugu Emiya himself was appointed as Master by them using the privileges of the Einzbern family.

But just three days ago, an unexpected turn of events disrupted everyone's preparations.

Without any ceremony, and even before the Holy Grail War had begun, a Servant was inexplicably summoned.

No, it's not even certain whether to address the other party as a Servant.

In any case, the participant in this "Holy Grail War" inexplicably changed from the originally planned Kiritsugu Emiya to Illya, a five-year-old girl.

This sudden turn of events left even Ahad bewildered. But more than anything, he was probably furious and embarrassed.

Was the Einzbern family truly cursed by something? Were they, the family closest to the Third Law, destined to never obtain the Holy Grail?

Even if you ask me that, I can't answer you.

Kiritsugu Emiya's expression was very strange. On one hand, there was a strong sense of worry, and on the other hand, there was a strange feeling of relief.

Ahad couldn't decipher Kiritsugu Emiya's little expression, and annoyed, he snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve...

"Then let Ilya and her Servant come over! At the very least... we need to find out who he really is!"

"I'm already here."

The voice was calm yet carried an unyielding pride. With the doors swung open, Bai Jingtian, carrying Ilya in one arm, strode into the chapel.

His sky-blue pupils coldly swept across the entire scene, causing the many Einzbern puppets that wanted to come up and stop him to instinctively freeze in place, unable to move.

Even though this emperor's son died young and, under his father's protection, had no opportunity to accomplish anything great, his aura was still terrifying.

Bai Jingtian walked to the center of the chapel. Although carrying Ilya made him look a little less imposing, even so, Ahad dared not ignore the "Servant" in front of him!

Even without any deliberate targeting, the pressure emanating from him still made the Einzbern patriarch, who had lived for two hundred years, feel an instinctive and immense pressure.

His throat moved with difficulty, and his originally aggressive questioning now changed in tone...

"Sir... from which region are you a hero?"

"I am the prince of Heaven, the eldest son and heir of Emperor Bai Cinan, and the future emperor of Earth!!"

Faced with the questioning, Bai Jingtian gave his name without hesitation.

Even though no one in this "other world" knows these things... Bai Jingtian will still proudly tell everyone who asks about his identity—

He, Bai Jingtian, is the son of the emperor, the future emperor of the land!

Ahad was genuinely stumped by this answer. Earth Emperor?

A prince of heaven? Has such an amazing person ever existed in the history of this world?

No, not even the once-mighty British Empire, the Roman Empire, or the Mongol Empire that conquered the East and West, would have had an emperor who dared to call himself the Emperor of the Earth.

Was the other party lying? Ahad wanted to question them, but the words stuck in his throat and he didn't dare utter a single syllable.

His life instinct told him that if he dared to question any of the identities this man named Bai Jingtian revealed, he and Einzbern Castle would die a very, very, very horrific death!

"You seek the Holy Grail to fulfill your own desires? Then do you know why Ilya... she stole her father's mark?"

"You'll have to ask your God for that," Bai Jingtian said calmly.

Ahad was stunned for a moment, and before he could react to Bai Jingtian's words, the next moment, he—along with the entire Einzbern Castle behind him—was completely obliterated by an extremely terrifying force...

"Three Hundred Thousand Horsepower - Sea Tiger Explosive Fist!"

6. The fall of Einzbern

Bai Jingtian is undoubtedly a very proud person.

Even though he once felt extremely inferior because of his identity...

So he hoped to prove his loyalty to his father by killing the root of his inferiority complex, Shiroku-no-o, but this inferiority complex was only limited to his father, Shiroku-no-o.

Bai Jingtian's inferiority complex is reserved only for his most respected adoptive father, the great Emperor of Heaven, the strongest man in the world. His friendliness and humility are also reserved only for his family.

To everyone else, Bai Jingtian was an incredibly proud prince!

So, how can a prince like this be expected to accept the fate of being a servant?

Impossible! That's absolutely impossible!

"None of you are worthy to stand above me, Bai Jingtian!" Looking at the hostile and flustered couple before him, and the little girl beside them, the newly arrived Bai Jingtian stated his stance bluntly...

"I don't know who you are, but this is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible!!"

"Ilya, come here quickly!!"

Kiritsugu Emiya shouted, signaling his daughter to come over. He pulled out his personal pistol, equipped with Origin Bullets, pointed it at Bai Jingtian, and said with a furrowed brow...

"You're a Servant? That's impossible! The Holy Grail War didn't even start for another six months!"

The words had barely left his lips when Kiritsugu Emiya felt his brain freeze, and Bai Jingtian's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed...

"The Holy Grail War? And magicians? Okay, I'm starting to understand everything."

Having obtained the information he wanted without hesitation through mind-reading, Bai Jingtian suddenly felt somewhat relieved. A magician, a servant—if that's all there is to it? Then it's not a problem, not a problem at all!!

Although Bai Jingtian only retains the power of 300,000 horses at this moment... he can still increase it back in time.

And the level of those magicians gleaned from this Emiya Kiritsugu's mind... ha.

It wasn't that Bai Jingtian was arrogant and conceited, but rather that he didn't believe those weak things that used so-called "small source" and "magic" power could be a match for the magnetic field rotation—they couldn't even withstand a nuclear bomb with their bare bodies!

However, we did glean some other information from this guy's mind, such as some "little secrets" about the Holy Grail War.

His gaze slowly locked onto the back of Ilya's hand, which was cowering fearfully behind her father.

Is that what they call the Command Seals...? But can something like that really affect Bai Jingtian?

No, it shouldn't be. Bai Jingtian could feel the faint connection between himself and the little girl.

Ideally, he shouldn't lose this "connection," otherwise he had a premonition that something bad would happen.

But that "Command Seal" might not have the ability to affect him... because in Shocking Heaven's eyes, that so-called magic was still too weak, but...

This so-called Holy Grail War, in the end, is no longer the game between the seven dead and the seven living.

That "powerful being" once said that among the seven "opponents" who were about to arrive, he would be the second to last in terms of cultivation level.

Although he was very unhappy with this statement, Jingtian might have to be careful.

One's opponent may not be something as simple as a "Heroic Spirit".

But then again, if he had to take such a little girl to the battlefield, Bai Jingtian would absolutely be unwilling.

Noticing Bai Jingtian's gaze fixed on his daughter, which he seemed to mistake for a threat, Kiritsugu Emiya activated his Time Control without hesitation, pushing his wife and daughter behind him and roaring as he pulled the trigger on Bai Jingtian...
