Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 534 Giant and Girl

Bai Cangshu's fanatical laughter gradually twisted, and after experiencing several stinging sensations, he realized that the commotion within his body seemed to have stopped.

Bai Cangshu frowned, and the next moment, he reached out and stabbed himself in the chest with a soft "plop".

The reason Bai Cangshu dared to have this crazy plan was because the Lesser Grail he saw was Ilya. Unlike her mother, Ilya was artificially modified into the Lesser Grail, not born as it was.

To be precise, Illya's heart is the core of the Lesser Grail.

As for the White Cangshu, it has long transcended the limitation of ordinary living beings that they will die if separated from their heart.

puff!
The flashes of lightning and the spray of blood created charred cracks in the ground.

Bai Cangshu's [Heart of the Thunder Emperor] was directly dissected out, and it is now indeed shimmering with a strong magical luster.

It echoes the magical light emanating from the distant ruins of Mount Yuanzang.

That is where the Aeon Grail is located.

The Greater Grail is actually constructed by Justeza, the Winter Saintess and ancestor of the Einzbern family, using her own body as the core of the ritual, along with the Command Seals given by Zouken Matou (Machiri), and the spirit veins of Mount Enzo and Fuyuki City given by the Tohsaka Ancestor.

The Winter Saintess was an artificial life form created by the disciples of the one who once mastered the Third Law (Heaven's Cup) in order to research and pursue the Third Law, but that was not because they mastered the Third Law and its technology.

It was just a one-of-a-kind coincidence.

The Einzbern family was a product of this research and experimentation.

In pursuit of the true "Third Law," the Winter Saintess activated this ritual with her own life and body.

And under the witness of the top magician in the Type-Moon world, [Magic Marshal], [Jewel Elder], [Master of the Second Law] Kyshua Zelrich Schbein Augu, it finally took shape.

On the surface, it is a war in which magicians and heroic spirits fight to fulfill their wishes, but in reality, the enormous magical power that can fulfill wishes is just a byproduct of this ritual.

The Einzbern, Machiri, and Tohsaka families all sought to exploit the time-space rift created when the Heroic Spirits returned to the Throne of Heroes from the Lesser Grail after the Holy Grail War, and then use the magical energy accumulated over sixty years by the ley lines to fix it in place.

This leads directly to the root cause!
Bai Cangshu held his heart high, but felt that the impact of the heroic spirit was not enough. Not only had the so-called spacetime hole not fully appeared, but the Greater Grail had not been fully unfolded either.

His gaze swept around, and the next moment it landed on the black giant Hercules.

The dark giant did not continue fighting with Bai Cangshu, nor did he go far; he seemed to be merely guarding Ilya from a distance.

Step, step...

Bai Cangshu started walking, and the next moment, the silver-haired, red-eyed girl spread her arms and stood in front of Bai Cangshu.

She frowned, her face showing confusion and reluctance, her eyes unwilling to look at the heart that Tao Pai Pai was holding in her hand.

"Assassin, what... are you going to do..."

"Berserker is my Servant, and I will not allow you to kill each other!"

Bai Cangshu remained unmoved. His strength was immense, and he dragged Ilya along with him, making it no more difficult than lifting a cat.

The Command Seals on Illya glowed, and Bai Cangshu frowned, stopping in his tracks.

Illya was covered in Command Seals, and theoretically, she was indeed one of the very few beings here capable of killing him.

But the girl didn't mean that. Judging from her expression, Bai Cangshu seemed to just want to use a Command Spell to stop him from killing Heracles.

The tearing pain in his soul continued, but something must have happened in his sea of ​​consciousness. As Bai Cangshu hesitated whether to actively enter the space of consciousness, he heard the sound of footsteps.

The Berserker, corrupted by the black mud, actually walked towards him, dragging its heavy, massive axe-sword on the ground.

A powerful aura suddenly arose, like two ferocious beasts.

Ilya was startled and turned around as well, waving her hands frantically.

"Berserker, I won't allow you to fight an Assassin either!"

"I hope you can all live on together..."

She actually knew that even if the Servant died, the Heroic Spirit would not die.

But the end of the Holy Grail War will always be accompanied by death, and she hopes that the sorrow will be enough for her alone.

Bai Cangshu sensed the girl's thoughts, lowered his eyelids, and spoke coldly.

"Hercules, if I am not allowed to end the Holy Grail War in this state now, Illya is destined to die."

"No matter who ultimately wins the Holy Grail War, she will die."

Bai Cangshu's voice was utterly indifferent, yet resolute. Tap tap tap…

Amidst the chaotic footsteps, a black-haired man with lifeless eyes came running wildly from afar.

It seems that the blood moon phenomenon that appeared at this moment allowed the other party to finally act with impunity.

Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes immediately fell on the terrifying Tao Pai Pai, a Servant unlike any he had ever seen so focused on killing.

He had even thought that if he had teamed up with a Servant like Tao Pai Pai in the Fourth Holy Grail War, he could probably end most of the battles through assassination in the early stages of the Holy Grail War.

But then he realized that what the Greater Grail now contained was not a dream at all.

That was a completely twisted form of malice.

We absolutely cannot let that thing happen!
Kiritsugu Emiya ran, knowing full well that if Tao Pai Pai had survived the previous battle, he would have been helpless.

The next moment, Kiritsugu Emiya, who was running, saw the red-haired boy collapse against the wall, clutching his neck, with what appeared to be blood between his fingers.

His heart sank, and he was about to run towards the boy, but the next moment, he froze on the spot.

A silver-haired girl with the same red jade eyes as Irisviel stood timidly between Tao Pai Pai and the pitch-black giant, her arms outstretched, as if to stop the two from fighting.

boom!
Emiya Kiritsugu instinctively fired at Tao Pai Pai, whose left hand instantly rose, and the bullet fell directly between the two fingers of the other.

Tao Bai flicked her finger.

puff!
The bullet pierced directly through Kiritsugu Emiya's throat.

Ilya...

Kiritsugu Emiya reached out his hand; it was his daughter, his own daughter!

He had visited the Einzbern family countless times after the Fourth Holy Grail War, hoping to take his daughter away, but due to the influence of the black mud, his body gradually decayed and he was unable to even see his daughter.

Unexpectedly, we met again at this moment.

The pitch-black giant slowly raised his hand, and the enormous axe-sword was raised high.

"No, no, no, no... no!"

Kiritsugu Emiya once again recalled everything he had seen in that illusion.

The pain of losing his loved ones drove him to scream like a madman.

He no longer wants to be a messenger of justice.

He no longer wanted to make a choice.

He no longer wanted to fight for it.

He just wanted... not to lose anything more!
Like a wailing, defeated dog, yet another person who once harbored noble, cruel, and mechanical ideals has utterly broken down at this moment.

puff!
Blood spurts.

Kiritsugu Emiya froze.

Ilya's pupils also dilated, and her expression gradually became distorted.

Bai Cangshu half-closed his eyes, his lips seemingly smiling yet also tinged with sorrow.

He reached out his hand and watched as Hercules, with his massive axe sword, pierced his neck.

"Spirit, enter my body!"

The intense absorption force surged like a storm, and Hercules' body instantly transformed into black particles, flowing into Bai Cangshu's body.

The next moment, it broke through Bai Cangshu's body and soul in the purest form of spiritual particles.

As blood spurted from Bai Cangshu's face, the heart in Bai Cangshu's right hand immediately emitted a golden glow.

The Holy Grail has appeared.

"Berserker!"

Amidst Kiritsugu Emiya's jubilant smile, the girl let out a desperate wail.
