Chapter 526 Save The World
You have completed the purge mission.

A crimson glow mixed with gold condensed in front of Bai Cangshu, and a special crimson drop card belonging exclusively to the [Scavenger] condensed in front of the pure white Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu did not rush to pick it up. Instead, he kept his eyes closed and felt the various surging and turbulent emotions in the boundless sea of ​​consciousness.

Humans are eternally solitary beings; between each other lies an indelible physical shell.

But at this moment, the wall of the heart melts away, and these millions of humans become one, with no one between them anymore.

All kinds of memories, emotions, and thoughts are laid bare, and they face each other with their most authentic selves.

Bai Cangshu saw a couple angrily confronting each other, blaming the other for hiding too much in their hearts and for all their previous pretense.

I also saw two innocent young boys and girls, their cheeks flushed as they looked at each other's innocent and straightforward affection.

Bai Cangshu, perched high above, looked down upon all living beings like a deity, observing their joy and anger.

Even after all humans have revealed their complete and authentic selves, this race still behaves inconsistently.

The noble are like saints descended to earth, while the base are like Satan incarnate.

"Humans, they're really interesting..."

Bai Cangshu's enormous head looked down upon this world, and finally, in a snow-covered forest, he saw the silver-haired girl with her hands wrapped around her knees.

Ilya sat at the edge of the forest, gazing at the ancient castle where her family lived, but she did not choose to go back, because there were no real relatives there.

And the giant who had always protected her in this forest did not appear.

Ilya sat in the snowstorm like a heartless doll.

She has always lived in seclusion. As the daughter of the previous generation of the Einzbern family's homunculus and Kiritsugu Emiya, she has never been treated as a human.

*Snap*

A light thud was heard as Ilya looked up and saw a white giant land on the ground, its long black hair now glowing white.

Unlike her silver-white hair, that fluorescent white seemed to be glowing.

"Assassin..."

Ilya merely opened her mouth, and a voice was uttered, but she did not accept this new Servant, Assassin Tao Pai Pai, as quickly as she would in the real world.

Only then did Bai Cangshu realize that this seemingly innocent and simple girl, like a heartless doll, also had complex thoughts.

Bai Cangshu narrowed his eyes slightly, examining the heart of a frail young girl for the first time so closely.

As the daughter of the homunculus Irisviel, her family treated her entirely as a tool to complete the Holy Grail War. Through extensive modifications during her embryonic stage, they gave her an abnormal number of magical circuits and Command Seals all over her body.

Similarly, this also destined Illya to be a tool that could not survive for long, and her fate was to die in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

The girl lacks a normal sense of ethics; risking her life to save others and calmly allowing the Berserker to kill tens of thousands of people are all perfectly normal things to her.

Because in her short and lackluster life, good and evil had no meaning whatsoever.

She yearns to kill her biological father, Kiritsugu Emiya, who betrayed her family and mother, while simultaneously being curious about her "younger brother," Shirou Emiya, who was raised by her biological father.

In her delicate and fragile heart, perhaps only the black giant Hercules, who caused her excruciating pain every time he drew magic from her, was the only one who saw her as a human being rather than a tool.

Similarly, this girl became the only anchor point through which Hercules, as a Berserker, was able to maintain his abnormal rationality after undergoing Berserk transformation.

Bai Cangshu squatted down, but even so, he was still much taller than the girl.

His eyes conveyed a range of emotions.

"So that's how it is. This is the process of the birth of the [heart]. How interesting..."

Bai Cangshu reached out and placed his hand in front of Ilya.

"My Master, thank you for your magical energy supply. Servant Tao Pai Pai will bring you victory in the Fifth Holy Grail War..."

Like a harbinger of victory, or perhaps some kind of special vow, Ilya felt she could sense the emotions and thoughts of this strange Assassin within this space.

It was a thing as cold and hard as an iceberg, no, or rather, it was a non-man-made object that was even harder and colder than cold steel.

Before this, I could hardly feel any emotional fluctuations.

Even if there are any, they are fake emotions, like a smile you put on to appease others, or perhaps just the smiles of predators who are completely inhuman.

The sudden appearance of the other party, who then voluntarily joined her ranks, didn't bother Illya much; with her magical power, she could support even more Servants.

But almost identical to Berserker, she also experienced immense pain each time her magic was drained by Assassin.

At this moment, all that pain and confusion began to dissipate.

Only in a world where nothing can be hidden can she see Tao Pai Pai's true self.

There... was nothingness.

Ilya slowly rose and walked closer to Tao Pai Pai. In her eyes, it was as if she had seen a "kindred spirit" she had never met before. Before joy could even surface, it had already turned into pity.

Yes, the emotion Ilya felt after seeing Tao Pai Pai's true form was pity.

Bai Cangshu clearly sensed this. Ilya raised her icy hand, seemingly wanting to touch Bai Cangshu's forehead, but the size difference was too great, and she couldn't do it. In the end, Ilya just gently patted Bai Cangshu's arm.

"Assassin..."

"I am Illyasviel von Einzbern, please help me win the Holy Grail War!"

Her eyes were bright and clear, with a profound understanding of life and death.

Or rather, her concept of life and death was also abnormal; she did not understand the fear of death.

She hasn't experienced too much pain of separation yet.

Bai Cangshu shook his head and reached out to grab the girl.

"I'm sorry, Master, I may have to take away the only meaning from your short life so far..."

boom!
The next moment, because Ilya refused to complete the instrumental, and at the same time, White Sora, as the ritual leader who replicated the nature of the White Giant.

Unlike Shinji Ikari, who was an indecisive young man, he didn't give "humans" much of a choice at all, and directly reversed the power of the heart once again.

Almost instantly, the hard-won fusion and mutual understanding among human consciousness vanished.

Barriers appeared one after another, and then, streams of consciousness were ejected from here.

The walls of the heart collided, and humanity could no longer merge into the waters of the LCL.

During the flight, the human body was reshaped due to the constraints of the Heart Wall.

Humans appeared out of thin air in the place where they had disappeared.

The ocean of orange juice is beginning to disappear on a large scale.

Only a group of helpless humans remained, standing on the ravaged land. Some frantically searched for their clothes to cover themselves, while others couldn't believe what had happened and kept checking their bodies.

Many others, due to the merging of their consciousnesses, looked at the familiar people around them with complex expressions.

The white color on Bai Cangshu's body slowly disappeared, and her body shape gradually returned to normal.

Before him, a naked girl gradually took shape. After thinking for a moment, he took out clothes from the package and threw them onto the girl.

The "Desperate Savior Mode" has been disabled.

The "Desperate Salvation" bonus effect has disappeared.
