“Matou Zouken…!!” Tokiomi Tohsaka took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions, but his eyes were still bloodshot.

Rin has a strong personality and doesn't know how to express her emotions, but what she says is the truth; compassion is always very fragile.

Sakura's feelings for Rin are quite complex. She expects Rin to save her while also envying and being jealous of her life. Because she lacked love and suffered a lot of torment since childhood, she developed a twisted and inferior personality.

But to demand that she not be jealous, to put herself in her shoes, is something few people can do.

“Clearly…” Tears welled in Sakura’s eyes, and the dark lines on her face faded slightly from her eyes downwards. “I also possessed…”

"But I destroyed it with my own hands... Waaah... Ah!..." Sakura collapsed to her knees, tears streaming down her face, looking utterly helpless. She hugged herself and sobbed loudly.

[After hearing a sound, Sakura looked up and stared blankly at Shirou Emiya, who was slowly walking towards her at the end of the passage. "Senpai!"]

[Shirou Emiya quickened his pace upon seeing Rin Tohsaka fall to the ground, then ran to her side and knelt down to check on her condition.]

"I killed...I killed my sister...even though she kept telling me not to give up."

Hearing the crying, Shirou Emiya looked at Sakura, who was sobbing helplessly, "No, I want to end all of this."

Looking at Sakura, whose eyes had regained their light as she cried, Shirou Emiya made his decision. "It seems Tohsaka has won after all."

...

...

“Sakura, Tohsaka isn’t dead yet.” Shirou Emiya’s eyes were fixed on Sakura. “She can still be saved. I’ll come with you to save her.”

Upon hearing this, Sakura stopped crying, her eyes relaxing considerably. However, the four large-eyed monsters watching everything from behind caused the cave to tremble.

"Oh no!! Run, senpai!" Realizing what was happening, Sakura hurriedly tried to stop Shirou Emiya, but it was too late.

[From the depths of the magma, black and red tentacles emerged and coalesced into a ball, fiercely attacking Shirou Emiya.]

"Sizzle—" With a flash of sparks, Shirou Emiya blocked the attack with his left hand, tearing his sleeve and revealing the Shroud of Resurrection beneath.

"No, senpai, I didn't..." Sakura tried to explain that the attack just now wasn't her doing, but before she could finish speaking, Shirou Emiya interrupted her.

"I know, it was that stubborn kid who did it."

"Shirou Emiya's words prove that Rin was gambling from the beginning, risking her life to make Sakura regain her senses! She really succeeded; the black lines on her face faded a bit, and the light returned to Sakura's eyes."

"I understand the logic. Even though Rin isn't dead, if either of you had any conscience, wouldn't it be better to call 120 (emergency services) for him right now?!"

Upon seeing this, everyone complained, "Although he's not dead yet, he looks like he's about to die. Let's save him first. Don't forget we're still in the enemy's stronghold."

Moreover, seeing that Sakura was gradually returning to normal, it's no wonder that Angra Mainyu started to become restless. If he could speak, he would definitely say to Emiya Shirou and the others, "Big brother, don't cause trouble! I'm still waiting to be born."

Good heavens, is that really a piece of cloth wrapped around Shirou Emiya's hand?! Putting aside how he managed to create sparks, Archer's arm is just too useful. (Sigh)

Chapter 324 The Rule Breaker!

[Angola Mainyu seemed unable to bear it any longer; his four large eyes were fixed on Black Cherry, and the rock pillars on the ground began to tremble continuously, even shattering a stone bridge in front of them.]

[Shirou Emiya looked down at Rin, who was gradually regaining consciousness and opening her eyes, nodded to her, and began running around Sakura in the center, searching for a way to reach her.]

"No... I can't control myself anymore." Sakura was finding it increasingly difficult to control herself, struggling to suppress the power in her body, with ribbons around her fluttering like tentacles. "Run, senpai!"

"Leave me alone, just let me die. I'll die on my own."

Black and red ribbons crisscrossed in front of him like a sweater, launching an attack. Shirou Emiya could only dodge while constantly closing in on Sakura.

"Ugh!!" Shirou Emiya roared as he leaped onto the stone pillar, only to be instantly destroyed by the black ribbon, forcing him to continue jumping forward to another pillar.

[Looking at the black ribbons still relentlessly attacking Shirou Emiya, Sakura was overwhelmed by guilt, unable to breathe. "Why? I'm beyond saving... no... I shouldn't have been saved."]

Just as the stone pillar was about to collapse, Shirou Emiya leaped across the lava below, shouting in mid-air, "There's hope!!"

[Shirou Emiya landed on Sakura's platform, rolled a few times, and then stood up again. "Sakura..."]

At that moment, a black ribbon shot out from behind Sakura, striking Shirou Emiya in the abdomen and leaving a deep dent.

“You…look, senpai! I…I’m just that kind of person. So…” Sakura was starting to panic, only wanting Shirou to give up on her.

[Shirou Emiya silently touched the spot where he had been hit, then began walking towards Sakura. Seeing Shirou approaching, Sakura closed her eyes in fear.]

Sakura tearfully pleads with Shirou to give up, "I've killed so many people—my brother…my grandfather, and my sister! Even so, senpai, do you still want me to live?"

[Emiya Shirou couldn't stand it anymore and snapped at Sakura, "That's right!! Isn't that obvious?!"]

[Shirou Emiya pulled up the sleeves of his clothes and began to remove the shroud from his arms. "Since I took it, I must take responsibility."]

[Magic circuits began to appear on Archer's arm, and Angra Mainyu behind Sakura became uneasy, launching an attack with her black and red tentacles! Sakura closed her eyes in despair.]

"Bang! Bang!..." Shirou Emiya neither dodged nor avoided the tentacles, letting them strike his body, producing a sharp clanging sound.

When Sakura opened her eyes again, she was stunned by Shirou Emiya's current appearance. Countless broken sword blades had pierced through his body and were exposed to the air.

“Sakura here truly felt despair about the sins she had committed under her influence, and felt that dying would be better than living.”

"Shirou Emiya is truly Sakura's hero in this timeline. He can jump such a distance. All those years of high jump training have paid off."

His body, covered in sword-like bones, didn't even try to dodge; parts of his body had already begun to transform into swords! It was as if he possessed built-in armor, but his life was nearing its end…

Shirou Emiya once again approached the helpless girl, this time not with a twisted ideal, but with a heart that wanted to save her.

However, what the people from other worlds couldn't understand was that Sakura actually called those two scumbags "brother" and "grandfather"? What kind of outrageous behavior is this?

Aren't these two the culprits causing you pain?! They're the ones you should hate, so why do you feel guilty towards them? You're not even human.

The people you should truly feel guilty about are the innocent citizens you cruelly murdered. Who can offer them redemption? ...Fortunately, Sakura isn't beyond redemption yet.

Rin's actions amplified Sakura's guilt and remorse. She did not deny that she had killed many people while being manipulated, and felt that she was already a heinous criminal. She even planned to destroy herself to atone for her sins.

Academy City World

"Shirou Emiya is right. Since you've taken it, you have to take responsibility for it." Touma Kamijou's view of Sakura is that this is not something that can be resolved by death; it is a sin that Sakura must bear.

However, it is respectable to be able to admit and bear the guilt. Sakura was fully qualified and capable of shifting all the blame to the Black Grail.

Neither Sakura nor Shirou Emiya intentionally killed anyone. However, actions made out of choice must be taken with responsibility, and remembrance must be offered for the innocent victims.

It is clear that Shirou Emiya is prepared to become a sinner and embark on a path of atonement together with Sakura.

Type-Moon Chaldea World

"Is it really okay for Shirou Emiya to do this? He's already gone this far." Looking at Sakura, who was already prepared to atone with her death, Dr. Roman shook his head helplessly.

Sakura is not a bad person, but like ordinary people, she experiences feelings of inferiority and jealousy, compounded by painful childhood experiences. These emotions are amplified by a coincidence known as the Holy Grail War, resulting in the deaths of countless people.

However, Sakura's sins cannot be denied. Denying Sakura's sins also denies Sakura's responsibility for bearing those sins. If all the blame is placed on the Black Grail, it's the same as Zoroastrianism, which places all the blame on Angra Mainyu—merely pity and self-satisfaction...

"Could Angra Mainyu really be born?!" Looking at the big eyeball that was consciously controlling Sakura to launch attacks, it looked a lot like the Demon Pillar we encountered before.

If the evil of this world, enough to curse 60 billion people, were to be born, it would be an existence capable of destroying human reason.

Half of his body was covered in broken sword blades, but this didn't stop Shirou Emiya. He continued walking forward resolutely, saying, "I will protect you from being hurt by anyone or anything in the future, even if it's just hypocrisy."

"I will always protect the people I love." Magical energy began to gather in Shirou Emiya's arm, and Archer's and other magic circuits reappeared.

"Projection... Begin!" A purple dagger appeared in his hand, its blade twisting like lightning, engraved with mysterious runes.

"The punishment time has come. It'll be harsh, so grit your teeth."

Sakura lowered her arms, closed her eyes, and accepted the guilt—this was the punishment she deserved. She then slowly reopened her eyes and whispered, "Yes!"

[Shirou Emiya begins to charge forward, while Angra Mainyu manipulates his black tentacles, attempting to stop him...]

In the end, Shirou Emiya acted first, plunging the dagger into Sakura's chest. As the screen went dark, only Shirou's soft voice could be heard calling out, "Go home... Sakura! Don't get involved with that kind of thing anymore..."

As the screen lit up again, the black tentacles stopped above Shirou Emiya, and the clothes that had formed from the shadow gradually crumbled and disintegrated from where the dagger had pierced Sakura's chest.

With a flash of purple light, Sakura returned to her original form and collapsed into Shirou Emiya's arms.

"What kind of Noble Phantasm is this? It's so powerful! If I had known this, I would have just projected it onto the Emiya family's walls and stabbed them directly!!"

"Um... Although the scene is quite touching, Shirou Emiya, don't forget that you're covered in blades right now. Are you sure you won't hurt Sakura?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; the matter was finally resolved. In the end, Sakura did not resist and calmly accepted the punishment she deserved, opening her arms wide.

Emiya Shirou in this timeline has experienced too much. He betrayed his beliefs for Sakura, but his will also struggled. Although he deviated from justice, he also took responsibility for all the sins and consequences himself.

He saved his loved ones and also ended this utterly absurd Holy Grail War.

Type-Moon Fifth World War

When Medea saw the dagger, her lips twitched violently. Although she had expected it, seeing it with her own eyes still made her feel a pang of heartache.

"Just what kind of being is this Emiya Shirou?! He even projected the 'RuleBreaker'!"

The Mantra of All Orders can break any magic that pierces an object, including magical contracts and life forms born from magic. Therefore, at the very moment of impact, the connection between Sakura and the Black Grail should have been severed.

"If Archer can project this using just one of his arms, wouldn't it be equivalent to having all the Noble Phantasms of all the Servants he possesses if he had enough mana?!"

Having your account hacked in front of you is a terrible feeling, especially considering it's her RuleBreaker card!

Meanwhile, everyone in the Emiya family breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over.

"This is wonderful... Sakura!" Rin Tohsaka hugged Sakura tightly, bursting into tears of joy.

"Well done." Red A Ye slightly curled the corners of his mouth, which was the kind of life he wanted to live.

Emiya Shirou transformed from a robot into a human, and through his daily interactions with Sakura, he developed his own wishes... From that moment on, he was no longer the robot who only pursued "false" ideals borrowed from others.

P.S.: Let's end this in the next chapter. Speeding up the pace will omit some things... so I won't go into too much detail.
