Chapter 451 Ideal Pain and Pleasure (Original)
After Saber revealed the true form of the holy sword [Sword of Promised Victory] and annihilated Caster.

Emperor Iskandar finally recognized Saber.

At the same time, the information of [Sword of Promised Victory] is also updated on the Fate series setting page of C Station.

【Sword of Promise of Victory

Grade: A++
Type: Anti-city Noble Phantasm

Attack Range: 1~99
Maximum catch: 1000 people

The largest and most powerful treasure held by Altria, it is regarded as the symbol of King Arthur, the most powerful and noble holy sword, and it stands at the top in the category of holy swords.

It was not forged by humans, but was crystallized inside the planet using people's thoughts as raw materials, becoming one of the ultimate divine weapons of the "Last Phantasm".

It was originally managed by the Star-Sprite, then managed by the Lady of the Lake and delivered to King Arthur through the magician Merlin as an intermediary.

It transforms the holder's magic power into light, and then releases it from the tip of the sword as it is swung downward like a laser beam, destroying everything.

Naturally, the magic power consumption is intense, and continuous firing is not possible. 】

This is powerful enough, although it seems not as good as the EX-level [King's Army] displayed by Emperor Iskandar.

However, the Emperor's [King's Army] could not defeat Caster. Instead, it was only Saber who used the [Sword of Promised Victory] to defeat Caster.

This proves to some extent that the [Sword of Promised Victory] is not weaker than the [King's Army].

With the withdrawal of the Caster group, including the first withdrawal of the Assassin group, the Holy Grail War is obviously entering a white-hot stage.

Of course the remaining five groups are Berserker group, Lancer group, Rider group, Archer group and Saber group.

However, before this, Kenneth, the master of Lancer Team Zhao Yun, was hit by Kiritsugu's Origin Bullet, causing his magic circuit to go out of control and receiving almost fatal injuries.

Finally, he was able to escape with the help of Zhao Yun.

After Kenneth's sneak attack on Kiritsugu failed and he lost all the magic circuits in his body and could no longer use magic, he still did not give up on winning the Holy Grail War.

So... he transferred the Command Seals to his fiancée Sora, and the couple joined forces to continue their pursuit of victory in the Holy Grail War.

Therefore, Zhao Yun changed from supporting his lord Kenneth to protecting his "mistress" Sora.

He actually didn't feel disgusted at all, and even seemed very motivated.

After all, when he was alive, he always felt regret for not being able to protect his "mistress" Madam Mi.

Now that he has another chance, he swears to protect the "mistress"!
However, in the battle against Caster's team, he took the initiative to break his own Noble Phantasm [Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear] in order to allow Saber to release her Noble Phantasm [Sword of Promised Victory].

So now the combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened.

The situation on the Berserker team’s side is not optimistic either. Kariya almost died during his last confrontation with Tokiomi.

Fortunately, he met Kotomine Kirei, and under the temptation of Gilgamesh's words, he released his nature - joy.

This saved Kariya's life.

However, he didn't look like the one who could finally obtain the Holy Grail.

The only three groups left are Rider Group, Archer Group, and Saber Group, to which the Three Kings belong.

It can even be said that Emperor Iskandar is unlikely to win the final Holy Grail War. After all, he does not seem to be as strong as Gilgamesh.

[The King's Army] versus [The King's Treasure], everyone thinks that [The King's Treasure] is stronger.

Furthermore, in the previous battle against Caster, Tokiomi also revealed that Gilgamesh still had his most powerful Noble Phantasm, the [Sword of Disunity], which he had not used.

The resourceful netizens actually found relevant records from the obscure ancient Babylonian mythology's creation epic "Enuma Elish" and Gilgamesh's own record "The Epic of Gilgamesh".

That is the sword of separation, Ea, in the name of God.

In ancient Babylonian mythology, Ea was considered to be the quasi-deification of the planetary force that caused the surface of the earth, which was covered by a sea of ​​​​molten lava and gas, to rotate, break up, and stabilize when the earth was still in its original state.

Most gods began to build countries after the primitive Earth stabilized and became a world inhabited by life, but Ea was considered a god who created the planet before that.

It is a great god and also a star god.

You can imagine how powerful this treasure is.

Everyone even speculated whether this Noble Phantasm would be the strongest among all the Noble Phantasms of Heroic Spirits. Even the [Sword of Promised Victory] and [King's Army] could not compare to it.

After all, Gilgamesh and Tokiomi look like the ultimate villains.

As for the protagonists Kiritsugu and Saber, there is no need to mention them.

However, comic fans who are familiar with Lin Qingshan are a little alert. After all, Lin Qingshan has designed a plot where the protagonist really dies, and the supporting characters fight the final villain in the final battle.

Speaking of the recent past, the ending of "Akame ga Kill" is barely like this.

However, according to the general development of anime series, it should be the Saber camp and Gilgamesh and Tokiomi who will fight for the final victory.

But... no one expected it.

In the following plot, Tokiomi actually... was the first to leave!

Even one step ahead of Director Ken, who was already seriously injured and unable to use magic!
And the one who killed Tokiomi was actually his student Kotomine Kirei!
After the subjugation war against Caster, Kenneth went to the church and asked Father Risei for the Command Seals as a reward for the subjugation of Caster and returned to the front line.

However, after obtaining a Command Seal, he realized that his camp was at a disadvantage, and in order to prevent other camps from also receiving rewards, he used a pistol to kill Kotomine Kirei's father, Kotomine Risho.

Not long after, Kotomine Kirei returned and found his father dead, which reminded him of the feelings he had when his wife died, and he was also bewitched by Gilgamesh.

He eventually teamed up with Gilgamesh and backstabbed his teacher Tokiomi in Tokiomi's house, killing him!
So far! As the Master who looks most like a villain in the Archer camp, Tokiomi is the third to withdraw from the Holy Grail War!
At the same time, due to Gilgamesh's arrogance and the Archer class's characteristic of acting alone, he actually did not establish a magic circuit with Gilgamesh.

Therefore, after Tokiomi's death, Gilgamesh replaced Kotomine Kirei as his master.

Because Kotomine Kirei inherited his father Kotomine Risei's identity as the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, he possesses almost an entire arm of Command Seals, which is an extremely great advantage.

The audience said that they had never expected it. It is really a work of Lin Qingshan. You can never predict which characters will be changed and when.

"I really didn't expect that Tokiomi would be gone just like that?"

"It's so tragic. The summoned heroic spirit found a father and served the master Jin Shanshan with trembling fear, but he died just like that."

"As a result, this old man even bewitched his own students and killed himself..."

"I feel like this is going in a direction where there is no winner in the end, and everyone loses."

"Everyone was killed in the classic battle royale mode."

"Under the hands of the old thief Qingshan, even the protagonist could die."

"Too scary, the most dangerous profession, a role from a work by Qingshan Laozei."

"Golden Gilgamesh is invincible. With so many Command Seals, he can use any Noble Phantasm at will."

"That's really dark. Does this count as the referee himself? It's ridiculous that there is only one referee in this Holy Grail War."

"The referee can arbitrarily decide the outcome of the Holy Grail War... It's unfair!"

……

Tokiomi left the stage in a cruel manner, and even before leaving, he entrusted the custody of his daughter Rin to Kotomine Kirei.

Once his wife is also killed in this Holy Grail War, Rin's only guardian will be Kotomine Kirei.

After all, he had investigated Kiritsugu's information and knew that Kiritsugu was... a magus killer who would do anything to achieve his goals!
But I didn't expect that Kotomine Kirei was far more dangerous than Kiritsugu.

And Kotomine Kirei also saw Kiritsugu's photo and information, and began to develop a "delightful" interest in this man.

Then the animation replays Kiritsugu's past of how he became a magician killer. He was also a boy who longed to be a "partner of justice" in his childhood.

But that vision was lost at a very early stage.

In the end, it became like cursing justice, constrained by the thought of "not wanting the sacrifices made to achieve justice to be in vain."

The happy life on the island in his youth left Kiritsugu with happy, warm and unforgettable memories. He gradually fell in love with the girl Xia Lei who had been taking care of and helping them.

Later, an accident occurred during his father Wei Juxian's experiment to turn his father into a dead apostle, causing Xia Lei, who had been his father's assistant, to become a zombie.

This attracted the agents of the Holy Church and the Magic Association, and the residents of the island were all killed by the agents.

Since it was his father who caused this incident, Kiritsugu did not want the same thing to happen elsewhere, so he shot and killed his beloved father.

Later he met Natalia Kaminsky, who became his adoptive mother and mentor.

She negotiated with the Magic Association and let Kiritsugu inherit 20% of Emiya Norinaka's magic seals, and she trained him to be a magician killer who specialized in hunting "illegal" magicians.

During the last mission with his mentor, Kiritsugu was once again forced to kill his teacher with his own hands. In order to prevent the tragedy from escalating, he even used a surface-to-air missile to bomb the plane into the Atlantic Ocean before it landed at the airport.

From then on, a magician killer who would do anything for "justice" and to reduce sacrifices - Mamoru Kiritsugu was born.

After watching Kiritsugu's experience of being stained with the blood of his relatives and friends, the audience all said it was really too tragic.

But... Kiritsugu has never given up his ideal of "becoming a partner of justice".

Or rather... a curse.

His desire to participate in the Holy Grail War this time is also due to his ideal of "becoming a partner of justice". He wants to wish for world peace!
Such a grand ideal could not help but make the audience stand in awe.

only……

"World peace? That's impossible... This statement itself is a false proposition."

"If it was someone else's work, I would think that such an extremely idealistic wish as world peace would be possible, but this is the work of Qingshan Laozei..."

"In Chainsaw Man, Makima also hopes to build an absolutely peaceful world with the help of Pochita's power, but in fact it is impossible to succeed..."

“All I can say is that an absolutely peaceful world is either a pseudo-utopia of oppression by powerful forces, or a world where humans become extinct.”

"That old thief Aoyama is really not a human being. Kiritsugu looks like he will end up in tragedy." "Not only Kiritsugu, I really feel that everyone in the Holy Grail War will end up in tragedy..."

"Aoyama Laozei is a true BE aestheticist. In the true sense, no one can have a good ending with his works."

"Using tragedy to explain philosophy, this is the usual style of Qingshan the old thief."

"It's okay, I'm used to it. After watching so many works by Qingshan Laozei, am I still afraid of being stabbed? [Expression_Sunglasses]"

"Take off your sunglasses! I told you to take off your sunglasses!"

……

Back on the Holy Grail War, Kiritsugu's wife, Airi, is becoming increasingly weak.

Especially after Caster was killed and left the stage, he was so weak that he could hardly move on his own.

This seems to imply something.

But then, there was another plot that made the audience feel "too painful".

After Kotomine Kirei stabbed Tokiomi in the back and killed him, he made an appointment with Kariya to meet him in the church in Tokiomi's name.

However...what Kariya saw when he came over was Tokiomi's dead body.

Next, his childhood sweetheart Toki Aoi appeared, and Toki Aoi saw the lifeless body of her husband in Kariya's arms.

Suddenly, she blamed Yanye in sorrow and said, "Are you satisfied? Yanye."

"In this way, it can be said that the Holy Grail has fallen into the hands of your Tong family."

Yanye looked at his childhood sweetheart with a face full of pain, but he was unable to defend himself at this moment.

"I...but...I..."

But before he could explain it.

"Why?"

But Toki Aoi didn't wait for him to explain before she said, "Isn't it enough that you took Sakura away from me? And you deliberately killed him in front of my eyes. Why?"

Lin Shengjie looked at the twisted and painful face of Kariya in the plot of "Fate Zero" and felt a sense of empathy for some unknown reason.

The pain of being wronged but not being able to express it clearly is so painful that if you put yourself in their shoes, you will feel extremely miserable.

but……

“This Toki Aoi is too hypocritical. Before, Tokiomi really wanted to kill Kariya, and she never tried to persuade Tokiomi.”

Lin Shengjie said dissatisfiedly, "Besides, her daughter was given to the Yanye family. What does that have to do with Yanye? It was obviously her husband who gave her daughter there. Why don't you blame her husband and blame Yanye?"

He also saw the explanation on the barrage, which was that Kariya left the Tong family, did not inherit the Tong family's magic circuits, and did not participate in the Holy Grail War.

That's why Sakura had the opportunity to be sent to the Tong family by Tokiomi to inherit the magic circuit.

However... this reason is really ridiculous.

What does this have to do with Kariya? As long as Tokiomi doesn’t think that it’s a “misfortune” that Sakura can’t become a magician, and sends Sakura to the Tong family, then there will be nothing to worry about.

This was clearly all Tokiomi's fault.

But... Shi Kui didn't think that it was all her husband's fault.

In her eyes, Tokiomi was not wrong, and he was extremely biased.

And all of this was borne by Kariya.

She had no idea that Kariya could have ignored all of this and escaped from here completely.

But just for her, just to help her save Sakura, he turned himself into this half-human, half-ghost appearance, and will soon die due to the exhaustion of vitality.

He shouldn't have been like this, shouldn't have accepted Zōken's transformation, and shouldn't have come to participate in this Holy Grail War.

But for Tokikui, Kariya still came back and did the same.

Lin Shengjie put himself in Yan Ye's shoes and felt that it was too painful.

At this time, Kariya was in extreme pain and his mind became chaotic and blurry.

He pointed anxiously at Tokiomi's body at his feet and explained, "It's all this man's fault! If it weren't for him, no one would become unfortunate!"

However, his words actually confirmed in Tokikui's eyes that it was he who killed Tokiomi.

However, Kariya still didn't notice it and continued to talk to Aoi -

"Whether it's Aoi or Sakura... they both deserve to live a happy life!"

however……

"What are you talking about!"

Suddenly, Shi Kui shouted at him loudly and angrily, "People like you! How could you possibly understand... How could you possibly understand..."

Kariya was in extreme pain. He looked at the woman he loved with a ferocious face and shouted at him like a ghost, "You have never loved anyone else!!"

From then on, Kariya’s defense was completely broken.

In a dark, pitch-black picture that was as desolate as his current state of mind.

His voice sounded like the final straw that broke.

"once……"

"I have someone I like."

"She is gentle and kind. I hope she can be the happiest person in the world..."

"As long as it's for you, I'm even willing to sacrifice my life"...

"It is precisely because of this thought that I have been able to endure the pain..."

But...all of this was completely shattered by what Shi Kui said just now.

The man named Tong Yanye has fallen into the abyss under the torture of physical and mental pain!

"I have endured... I have endured, ... until now!!"

However, his voice was no longer calm and gentle, but impatient and unbearable!
"How can I allow others to deny all this!"

Not even the woman he loved so much for whom he had to endure all this!

"It's fake! It's fake! I must have loved someone else! I must have had someone like this!"

"Why and for whom do you think I became like this?!"

"I'm going to die anyway... so I might as well do it!"

All the pain made Kariya look at... the woman he loved deeply.

The scene in which Tokiwa smiled at him in the beautiful memory appeared in his mind...

However, the next moment, Tokiwa appeared, being strangled by a hand.

It’s Kariya!
Tears kept flowing from his eyes, but he tightly grasped the neck of his beloved with both hands, strangling her life.

Lin Shengjie and other audience members have now completely felt Yan Ye's pain.

At this moment, the screen was filled with comments that empathized with Lin Qingshan and complained about him——

"As expected of you! Old thief Qingshan!"

"Wow, wow, wow, it's so painful! I'm so heartbroken Uncle Yan!"

"I am completely dumbfounded. How could you be so cruel, old thief Qingshan?"

"It's numb... I feel like I'm dying of pain when I put myself in your shoes!"

"It's over. Uncle Yan has turned evil."

"Ahhhh I really can't accept it. Uncle Yan, such a good man has to take the blame!"

"Kotomine Kirei and Gilgamesh, you two are really born!"

"No, the one who was born last was the old thief Qingshan!"

"That old thief Qingshan always does what he does, making everyone feel the pain together!"

"David, Agni, Brother Huo, and Kaneki clicked a thumbs up at this time!"

……

In the end, in extreme pain, Kariya strangled his beloved Toki Aoi to death.

But when he came to his senses and looked at Toki Aoi who had been strangled to death, and Tokiomi who had also died for some unknown reason, he wailed in pain and ran out of the church.

But above the church, Gilgamesh and Kotomine Kirei were watching this scene with "pleasure".

Kotomine Kirei truly felt what "pleasure" was. The feeling of wantonly playing with others, playing with life, and playing with emotions was really great!

However, compared with Yan Ye's misery, Lin Shengjie was more convinced that the two of them were beasts!
"Bastards! These two bastards deserve to die!"

He, like other domestic and foreign viewers who watched "Fate Zero", was cursing Gilgamesh and Kotomine Kirei.
