Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

He believed that even the youngest child wouldn't be so foolish as to think that staying here would eventually lead to death; it was just a matter of sooner or later.

But the pain of walking this path of self-destruction is far more terrifying than usual.

If it were easier to end one's life, no one would choose such a painful way to die.

however--

Asagami Fujino had already made up her mind about this. Since Mr. Haku was sleeping ahead and had encountered danger...

Even without 'Night's' help, she would still have to move forward alone. How would she know if she didn't try?

He mustered his courage, gritted his teeth, and started running in one go, trying to use the momentum to get as close as possible while his body could still move.

Although it's a spiritual entity, the feeling here is no different from that of a real physical body outside. The laws of physics can still apply, which is both incredible and fortunate.

Seeing this, Ye outside couldn't help but feel that Fujino was acting recklessly. Fortunately, after he got close to this place, he was able to re-establish a connection with Fujino and protect her with his own protection. Although he might still feel phantom pain in his body, he was no longer harmed by the so-called rejection reaction!

But other people who see this are unaware of this.

Everyone was shocked and moved as they watched the small figure running towards 'death'...

For a young child to possess such courage, doesn't that already surpass the courage of many adults?

Even Achilles, witnessing this scene, felt genuine admiration for him, while simultaneously burning with rage...

If it weren't for him, Asagami Fujino wouldn't have been trapped inside, but the culprit—is right in front of us, 'Goetia', isn't it?

The human-reasoned incineration method, is it?

Today he'll fulfill his duty as a Grand Master, even if it means giving up his Grand Master status, he'll still give this beast a good beating!

at the same time--

With a whoosh, a second, much louder electric shock resounded throughout the space. In the mental space, Fujino suddenly stopped, her entire front body collapsing, her small hands supporting her knees, drenched in sweat! At this moment, her pupils repeatedly dilated and contracted violently.

……——!

Thump, thump, the sound of my heartbeat became so clear, the pressure was immense.

The intense pain she had just experienced made Fujino realize that the electric current had transformed from a warning into an attack, causing a part of her body to break down.

night:……!

The talisman that could break all laws was still in effect, allowing Ye to regain a slight connection to protect Fujino, but she could not contact the inside and could only observe the situation inside.

Even if she doesn't get hurt, it will still hurt! This silly girl, she could have just stayed where she was and waited for him to forcibly smash the armor and carry her out.

But Fujino, unaware of the truth, was moved and felt pity for him for going to such lengths.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Enough! Those burning eyes, shining like stars.

It's about time to give up.

Even adults would feel fear at this moment. Even if the person they are trying to save is a family member, a brother, or a lover, their biological instincts would resist and make them shrink back in the face of a real life-threatening crisis.

That posture made Ye's heart ache and she wanted to touch the child. Although she knew the child was alright, the pain was real. Behind that pain was Fujino's determination and will to save her, and the suffering she was willing to bear.

As the one being 'saved,' even the Demon King cannot remain indifferent.

He was first true to his human nature, and then to the absolute demon king. He lived more clearly than anyone else, existing between purity and turbidity, acting willfully and recklessly according to his own ideas.

night:"…………."

'I understand the current situation, but this will not convince myself, and I have no time to rest.' Fujino's inner thoughts suddenly resounded in the spiritual world, and people heard them again.

'There's still such a long road ahead before reaching the core of that slumbering spirit origin. I must get there no matter what, before I shrink back because of the pain—!'

Fujino continued moving, changing from running to jogging.

Whoosh! After being struck by electricity once again, the whole world seemed to turn crimson.

Fujino collapsed to the ground in agony again, supporting herself on her knees with her hands...

"It's over. My eyes have already seen the ending. Even if I didn't intervene, the outcome wouldn't have changed. It's a place that no matter how hard one tries, it's impossible for a human with the power of the mind to reach," Goetia said indifferently once again.

But there seemed to be a hint of pity in his words, as if he were trying to persuade Asagami Fujino to give up.

Goetia's inexplicable attitude always seems strange. Could this beast, which seeks to destroy humanity, possibly feel any pity for such a tragic situation?

If you truly have pity, then give up invading that spirit core and let that Demon Lord awaken!

Almost instinctively, those who witnessed this scene felt that Goetia was feigning compassion, or that they were simply perceiving an illusion.

However—not only would Getia not stop his plans for such a reason, but the Demon King also knew better than anyone that there was nothing inside that armor, it was completely empty!

What Asagami Fujino was pursuing was nothing but endless despair; at the end of the road, there was nothing...

It's better to let her die on the path of pursuing hope than to tell her the truth.

This could be considered the Demon King's last act of mercy.

However—this pity, when seen by outsiders, only enraged Achilles even more: "You bastard—!"

With the Grand Lancers unleashing their full firepower, the other Servants stopped attacking Achilles and even joined in the attack on Goetia.

Even the Brush Bro paused his battles with Mordred and Brunhilde, declaring that he wanted to first defeat that hateful sorcery.

Illya: "Ugh, this is infuriating! Big brother said that a child's innocence is the most precious treasure in the world. That big guy who so blatantly tramples on and mocks Fujino's resolve is utterly despicable! With a Command Spell, Achilles, use all your power to smash that Goetia away!"

Because she had been hunted before, she knew how terrifying pain could be. Moreover, she had seen Asagami Fujino's past, and unlike her, Fujino was more sensitive to pain because her sense of pain had been blocked. Just how much determination and perseverance did Fujino have to endure that kind of soul-destroying pain?

Overwhelmed with empathy, Ilya's eyes were already brimming with tears!

That guy—! That Demon King—what does he even value life?

On the other side, even Misaya Reirōkan, who was always proud and confident, like Rin Tohsaka, as an outstanding heir of a magical family, was no longer thinking anything but being shocked when she saw Fujino Asagami at this moment.

She began to waver, wondering if she really could compare to this girl.

She was perhaps the more suitable person to be the Beast Master. Her unwavering eyes, burning like shining stars, and her petite and weak figure moving forward with determination, were now so full of momentum that she appeared incredibly tall and powerful.

That's enough, that's enough, that's enough.

That's enough!

Even those who were meeting Asagami Fujino for the first time felt heartbroken for the young child upon seeing this scene and hoped that she would stop now.

A silly, innocent, and adorably naive child!

However—as if she couldn't hear people's calls at all, and even if she did hear them, she wouldn't back down. Asagami Fujino's mind was now blank, and she couldn't even recall the past night.

To be honest, the person who was so important to her only spent about three days with her.

She didn't even have time to get to know him better or create more beautiful and happy memories with Mr. Bailong.

Therefore—we must not fall here; we must rescue that person.

After standing up, Fujino could only walk slowly, dragging her heavy body forward step by step.

That obvious change silenced everyone who witnessed it...

Outside, Gilgamesh said, "I can't run anymore... It seems this is the end. I am more furious than ever before."

Shining's expression was calm. It has to be said that after activating his serious Shining mode, his thinking was becoming more and more like that of the wise King Shining in his later years. In addition, he had not yet been brainwashed by the black mud, so he was still relatively easy to approach at this time.

Gilgamesh, who loved children and was a king among kids in Uruk, would even play childish games with them in his spare time. Even though he hated the humans of his time, he would never hate this young child who possessed heroic brilliance and a spirit of dedication.

Just as the artistic geniuses like Hans Christian Andersen said, no matter how dark the world may be, only children retain a pure and innocent heart.

Before they grow into adults, these heroic spirits are willing to give them enough patience and tolerance to this unformed possibility.

If Gilgamesh is like this, then Ramses II is even more so.

His closest friend was Moses, a saint who loved to sacrifice himself for others, and he couldn't stand such tragic scenes of people daring to sacrifice themselves for others.

Just as his idols were those two great heroes.

While Asagami Fujino isn't trying to save the world, her dedication as a child to saving just one person is truly admirable.

Not to mention—Roma II had already guessed from the previous conversation that the hero the child was trying to save was probably his most respected, admired, and beloved 'brother'!

"Golden color, what a coincidence! I'm also incredibly angry right now! So—"

The next moment, as if it had been pre-arranged.

Gilgamesh pulled out Ea, and Raikou threw out a gigantic pyramid that seemed to cover the entire Tokyo sky.

A murderous gaze simultaneously fell upon Goetia in reality!

Chapter 100: Merely the Pain of a Torn Soul x2 The Last Thirty Percent of the Path

Moving forward slowly, very slowly, incredibly slowly—

Does it mean you don't want to run anymore? No, it's probably because your body can only walk.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the body and limbs have turned into ominous bright red and dark black colors, interspersed with gray resembling the embers of a burnt-out fire.

That's a delusion caused by phantom pain in the mind, the part that thinks it's already 'dead'.

But in reality, if someone is truly dead, their body would naturally be unable to move by now.

However, in such a somber atmosphere, few people have the time to think about these details.

Reality isn't like a live stream where you can communicate via comments at any time. Even if someone notices this, they can't be sure of anything. Perhaps the world of spirits is just that unique? Even if the body breaks down, it can still move forward.

We've already traveled halfway, and it seems like the rest of the journey isn't far off.

But for some reason, perhaps because my pace slowed down, the road ahead seemed to stretch on and on, like an unreachable shore, while my breathing became heavier and weaker, and I was in unbearable pain...

*Whoosh!* Another, even more terrifying and ferocious sound, like the electric current before, followed. Asagami Fujino: '—Another part of my body has broken apart from the inside.'

The sound of his heartbeat seemed to become several times heavier, he was covered in cold sweat, his face was extremely pale, and his body was swaying precariously.

But you can't close your eyes yet!

She can die, but she must not give up halfway, as Mr. White Dragon has not yet been rescued.

Although I have lost sensation in my ankles, the ability to walk seems to remain.

Unable to comprehend the situation, Fujino chose not to waste her energy thinking about such unnecessary matters; after all—'If I can move, then it's not a problem.'

That's how I comforted myself.

This heartfelt statement brought many people to tears.

At this moment, Goetia's power, which showed no change in expression and slowly closed its eyes, was unaware that while it was pretending here, its true form was suffering outside. Of course, it soon lost its composure.

Suddenly—as if sensing something—Goetia abruptly opened her eyes: "Impossible—!"
